Chapter 125 The Battle of Xiangtangpu (4)

Just a few minutes after the order was issued, a loud charge trumpet sounded in front of the headquarters. The trumpet was the order. The elite battalions assembled on various hills rushed down the mountain under the cover of heavy machine guns and mortars. The entire team

They are shaped like arrows, with the tips pointing straight to the road.

Liu Hua stood at the command post and looked at the road where Xiangtangpu was located. Countless arrows along the way were moving quickly under the intensive firepower of light machine guns. Although every step forward, the soldiers had to pay a certain price. But the soldiers did not

People stopped because they were afraid of casualties. Every living soldier turned the grief of the sacrifice of his comrades into hatred for the Japanese. The machine gunner in the front fell, and the soldiers in the back picked up the light machine gun and continued to charge. In short, nine soldiers from each battalion

The light machine gun maintained continuous and fierce firepower, suppressing the Japanese army's firepower.

Lieutenant Colonel Morita stared dumbfounded at the Chinese troops rushing down from the top of the mountain. Under the fierce firepower of nine light machine guns, the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain were completely suppressed and could not lift their heads. Only a few machine guns and a few rifles provided the Japanese troops with this

Limited firepower suppression, of course, these limited firepower can only cause insignificant casualties to the charging Chinese soldiers at best.

"Baga, retract your position immediately. Hurry up and retract your position to block the charge of the Eighth Route Army. Quick, shoot, shoot." Morita chopped down the timid Si Wu soldier next to him with one knife and shouted loudly to the Japanese soldiers next to him. Get

The Japanese who ordered the order saw the bloody corpse of the Si Wu soldier next to them, and had to fight back under the threat of their squad leaders. The charging formation of the soldiers was suddenly disrupted, and more than a dozen soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

"Lie down" Seeing the enemy's fierce firepower, the battalion commander shouted loudly, "Communicator, call the headquarters and ask for artillery support, quickly." Looking at the soldiers who were constantly being shot, the battalion commander shouted eagerly.

Since the Independent Brigade had captured a large number of radios, in order to facilitate battlefield communication, almost every main attack battalion was equipped with a radio to call for artillery support. Soon, the artillery observers following the second battalion's charge formation reported to the artillery battalion.

After knowing the coordinates of the bombardment, within a minute, there was a roar in the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Six artillery shells fell on the Japs' position. Suddenly, there was a rain of blood, and the position the Japs had finally organized was blown apart.

"Continue to charge." Seeing that the Japanese position was thrown into chaos by artillery shells, the battalion commander immediately seized the opportunity and continued to launch a fierce charge.

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers jumped up and continued to charge. The nine light machine guns that had just replaced the magazines once again swept towards the Japanese position with a dense rain of bullets.

"Baga, immediately shrink your defenses and seize the high ground." Morita saw the chaotic formation, and when he saw the Chinese army not far away, he immediately yelled and led the guards to move to a nearby high ground, and the rest

The Japanese troops followed them one after another, moving while fighting back.

Soon, the Second Battalion rushed to the front of the enemy's newly occupied position, "Grenade" and "Boom, Boom, Boom..." As the grenades continued to explode on the enemy's position, the soldiers screamed and rushed towards the position where there were no more Japanese soldiers.

The commander soon discovered the high ground where the Japanese were firmly entrenched.

"Comrades, the Japs have escaped, come with me!" As he said, he took the lead and rushed towards the Japs' follow-up troops. "Ta-ta-ta-ta..." A hail of bullets hit the ground in front of the battalion commander, and several soldiers were unable to dodge.

After being shot again and seeing the Japanese's fierce blocking fire, the battalion commander wisely gave up the idea of ​​continuing the charge.

"The first company commander led the troops to outflank the left wing. The second company commander led the troops to outflank the right wing. The third company and I conducted a feint attack on the front to attract the enemy's firepower and sent a report to the headquarters requesting artillery support." The second battalion commander quickly said.

War orders were issued.

After receiving the order, the two company commanders led their troops towards the two wings, while the third company continued to charge under the leadership of the company commander. However, under the battalion commander's order, they immediately retreated as soon as they came into contact with the Japanese.

It caused no casualties at all, but it successfully attracted most of the Japanese firepower, providing a favorable opportunity for the two outflanking companies.

Captain Morita was lying behind a big rock and carefully observing the Chinese soldiers in front of the position. At this time, the Japanese trapped on the hilltop had a total strength of two squadrons. Almost all of them were elite imperial troops drawn from the front line. But

There are too few heavy weapons. If faced with the charge of Chinese infantry alone, Morita believes that with the ammunition in his hands, it will definitely not be a problem to hold on on this hilltop for a day, but he is afraid that the Chinese army will use artillery fire to open the way...

However, no matter what they are afraid of, the artillery battalion that received the second battalion commander’s request for help immediately dispatched a Hongtian Lei and a mortar platoon. Facing the dark muzzle of the Hongtian Lei, the second battalion commander laughed, because

He knew the effect of Hong Tianlei's artillery shell falling on the top of the Jaap Mountain. "Platoon Commander Wang, build an artillery position immediately. Especially Hong Tianlei, let the Japanese have a taste of the power of the cannons made by our Eighth Route Army."

The commander excitedly ordered to the artillery platoon commander next to him.

"Okay, battalion commander, I promise, if one shot goes down, the Japs on the mountain will reimburse you for half of it." Platoon Commander Wang also replied with a smile. At the same time, the commander of the soldiers began to place the thunder, and soon, a round explosive bag

He was put into the barrel. The non-artillery personnel nearby quickly retreated.

"Ready, fire." Platoon Leader Wang shouted loudly, and a spark slowly moved towards the barrel. "Boom" sounded as the doctor ran, and the explosive package was thrown high out of the gasoline barrel, towards the Japanese soldiers.

The position flew away.

Morita, who was on the Japanese position, used a telescope to observe the Second Battalion's position from a distance. He saw some soldiers placing a gasoline barrel on the position. He was confused when there was a "boom" sound and a round sound.

The thing was carried away by the gasoline barrel and flew towards its own position.

"Nani" Morita had already obtained the explosive package in the sky, getting closer and closer. "Baga, the explosive package..." Before he could finish speaking, the explosive package landed less than ten meters away from Morita.

A "boom" explosion sounded on the Japs' position, and the entire position immediately shook. Even the soldiers far behind the position felt the shaking of the earth.

With the explosion of the explosive pack, Morita was shaken to sleep by the powerful shock wave and would never wake up again. In the entire Japs position, from a distance of 30 meters from the explosion point, almost no living person could be seen.

However, the Japanese troops who were not affected in the distance were stunned by the explosion in front of them. Some people even knelt on the ground and prayed for the blessing of Amaterasu. Unfortunately, the artillery did not give them a chance.

"Quickly, continue to reload,... retreat... light the fire." Hong Tianlei roared again, and another shell fell on the Japs' position, once again taking away the lives of dozens of Japs... Soon, Hong Tianlei

After firing the 5 shells I brought.

"Comrades, go ahead and avenge your fallen comrades." Seeing the silent Japs' position, the second battalion commander roared loudly, and led the trio to launch a final reunion with the Japs' position. One, two or two got the order.

The companies also launched a charge one after another. There were only a few sparse gunshots along the way. The soldiers quickly rushed to the Japs' position. However, what they saw in front of them was not the vicious Japs soldiers, but countless Japanese soldiers in various shapes.

Among the corpses of the Japanese, only a few wounded and wounded Japanese fought back with broken rifles in their hands, and were quickly taken care of by the soldiers.

"Clean the battlefield." The battalion commander recovered from the shock and immediately ordered.

In this way, a Japanese squadron was wiped out by the five rounds of Hongtianlei artillery shells with almost no effort.

Such a scene happened in every position in Xiangtangpu. Once again, an hour passed, and the gunfire on the battlefield slowly stopped. The entire ambush lasted two and a half hours from start to finish.

Liu Hua stood at the command post, observing the entire battlefield. The situation developed beyond his expectation. He did not expect that with the help of Zi Hong Tianlei, the battle would proceed so quickly, and more than 2,000 Japanese would be wiped out by him.

.

"Order the soldiers to clean the battlefield quickly and take away all the enemy's damaged weapons. We must implement our three-light policy and not leave a single bullet shell to the Japanese." After saying that, he put down his telescope and walked towards the battlefield down the mountain.

Soldiers cleaning the battlefield were everywhere on the road. Some collected ammunition from the Japs, and some picked up scattered bullets on the ground, cleaning the battlefield in an orderly manner.

In the distance, several cars that had been detonated on their backs were still burning, and explosions occurred from time to time. And the entire road was full of large craters caused by bombs, burning cars, cars overturned by shells, and corpses of Japanese soldiers...

In the distance, there were dozens of cars loaded with weapons parked in a row on the road. Seeing these weapons, Liu Hua couldn't help but his eyes lit up. "Let's go over and take a look at the Japanese ammunition trucks. See if there are any."

What a good thing!" Liu Hua said excitedly.

The ambush battle is over, but facing the delivery of piles of ammunition and materials, coupled with the transfer of troops, it still takes several hours, and these few hours need to be fought over slowly by the blocking troops.

Not long after the battle took place, the Japanese captain sent a player report to the Japanese army's North China headquarters. Upon hearing the report, the entire headquarters was shocked. You must know that these ammunition supplies can supply tens of thousands of soldiers on the front line for a month. If they were

If it is destroyed, there will be no ammunition replenishment on the front line.

Soon, telegrams were sent from the North China Headquarters to various strongholds around Xiangtangpu, requiring each stronghold to deploy as many troops as possible to rescue the trapped Senmu Brigade, and to ensure the safety of these groups...

Of course, even if the headquarters does not send a telegram, the enemies in Licheng and Dongyangguan will be dispatched. If Licheng is far from Xiangtangpu and marches quickly, it will only take less than an hour and a half. When the battle just started, a shocking explosion

The sound can be heard clearly in Licheng, not to mention the Dongyangguan stronghold which is closer to Xiangtangpu.
