Chapter 384: Victory in the First Battle

"Division Commander, I really didn't expect that although the Japanese army only has less than 5,000 troops left, their firepower density is extremely fierce. They also temporarily set up many mortars. Their resistance is very complicated.

, as if he was prepared in advance." Looking at Liu Hua who was silent, Wang Benqing continued.

"Now the first wave of attacks by the soldiers has been blocked by the Japanese army. They are parked on the grass outside Baimi, unable to advance or retreat. Moreover, several regiment leaders reported that the casualties of the troops are also very huge..." After receiving instructions from various regiments,

Wang Benqing, the temporary chief of staff who reported the report, did not dare to neglect, and quickly ran to Liu Hua, who also had a frown on his face, and answered loudly.

"Well, it seems that these little devils are really prepared as you said... Judging from the current distribution of the enemy and our armies, our top priority now is to drive these little devils off the road.

Let them be like our soldiers and have no support. Otherwise, in this situation where the enemy is in the dark and we are clear, the soldiers will suffer a lot. Quick, tell Zhou Zhigang immediately and let him command all the mortars to target the Japanese troops on the road.

Come and fire a few volleys from the heavy baggage truck to drive the little devil off the road." Liu Hua thought for a moment and ordered loudly.

As the artillery group opened fire with more than 50 mortars, there was a burst of dense explosions on the road that was still in full swing just now. The first round of more than 50 artillery shells accurately landed on the road, and they were flying.

Shrapnel knocked down many Japs. More importantly, more than fifty rounds of artillery shells once again detonated an ammunition truck full of artillery shells on the road.

As the mortar shells that landed on the car exploded, a box of cannon shells was detonated. At the same time, with the ammunition truck as the center, within a radius of nearly 100 meters, there were bombed and flying shells everywhere.

Continuously exploding artillery shells. The explosion of just one vehicle of artillery shells caused the loss of nearly a hundred soldiers to the Japs who used car artillery as cover.

"Baga, order all soldiers to leave the road immediately. The entire road, under the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, is like a powder keg that may explode at any time. I cannot tolerate the heroic soldiers of the Imperial Army who have not yet had a head-on confrontation with the Eighth Route Army.

They were lost to the explosion of the artillery shells. They should have died on the real battlefield." Seeing the road being attacked by the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire and constantly exploding, the captain of the Colonel's Wing, who was protected by a guard squadron, quickly issued an order.

gave the order to retreat.

Immediately, amidst the flying artillery fire, the remaining more than 4,000 Japanese troops, after losing hundreds of soldiers, evacuated this stretch of road in embarrassment for several kilometers, where explosions were constantly happening.

"It seems that the little devils are also afraid of death, and now they have finally left the road. However, the next step is our performance. We ordered the artillery to stop shelling, and the troops launched a new round of attack. We must kill the remaining thousands of little devils.

I divided up the encirclement and captured them bit by bit. The artillery group was ready to provide artillery support to Brigadier Shen and Brigadier Luo on both wings." Seeing the thousands of Japanese troops retreating from the road in embarrassment, the division commander Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction.

He nodded and ordered loudly.

After receiving the order to attack again, nearly 10,000 soldiers were lying down nearly 100 meters away from the road. Seeing a little Japs start to run away in embarrassment under the attack of artillery, they immediately jumped up from the ground and launched an attack on the road.

Although they retreated from the road, they still used intensive firepower to shoot out airtight rain of bullets through the gaps between the heavy goods vehicles on the road.

However, under the obstruction of artillery and baggage vehicles on the road, there were still countless shooting blind spots on the other side of the road. Faced with this situation, many troops successfully occupied the road with almost no losses.

, relying on the cover of artillery pieces on the road, they began to shoot at each other with the little devils.

Immediately, the scene where the Japanese army suppressed the soldiers just changed. However, because the Japanese army lost all their artillery, they could only watch the soldiers occupy the favorable terrain, press themselves firmly on the grass, and move

No.

Immediately, there was no longer the cover of the heavy baggage vehicles, and a large amount of heavy firepower was thrown on the road. At the same time, more than 4,000 Japanese troops were distributed on the grassland that was several kilometers long. Such dispersed troops and firepower

How long can it withstand the density? In less than a few minutes, the little Japanese lying on the ground was completely suppressed by nearly a hundred light and heavy machine guns set up by the soldiers.

"Comrades, charge..." Facing the little Japs lying on the ground, almost unable to move, each commando team immediately launched a charge. The soldiers in front fell, and the ones behind continued to pounce. One after another, they only used

In less than ten minutes, several commandos divided more than 4,000 remaining Japanese soldiers into four large pieces.

"Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army. Hurry up and order all the soldiers to assemble immediately and form a group. We must not let the Eighth Route Army continue to divide us. We must concentrate our forces so that we can persist longer. Otherwise, we will be defeated.

The Eighth Route Army was divided and surrounded, and was eliminated bit by bit." Seeing his troops, they were divided into several pieces. The only remaining captain of the Colonel Army immediately guessed Liu Hua's intentions and attacked

Looking at the several staff officers around him, he ordered loudly.

As the scattered Japanese troops began to gather quickly, the soldiers who had completely surrounded the Japanese troops immediately followed behind the Japanese troops without any hesitation, quickly compressing their positions and narrowing their encirclement.

"Haha, I didn't expect this Japanese commander to be clever and confused at times, and he gathered his troops. This actually helped us a lot." Looking at the Japanese commander on the Japanese position, who was quickly gathering his limited troops. Division Commander Liu Hua said,

He couldn't help but smile and said.

"Yes, division commander, I was still thinking just now. The Japanese army's limited forces are completely distributed on this grassland several kilometers long. How should we eliminate them all in the shortest possible time. Unexpectedly, this Japanese army commander

The officers immediately began to gather troops and solved our problem, which is great." Brigadier Wang Benqing said excitedly.

"Well, order Zhou Zhigang. Except for the artillery regiment, which will continue to be under his command, all the remaining mortars of his artillery group will be assigned to each main force group and let them take action. However, I only give two to the five main force groups.

Within an hour, within two hours, all the thousands of Japanese troops in the encirclement must be eliminated." Liu Hua nodded and ordered loudly.

"Yes, division commander..." Wang Benqing replied loudly, turned around and ran out of the temporary headquarters and began to convey orders.

As Wang Benqing left, the four battlefields that had just been divided immediately recalled the fierce sound of gunfire. However, it backfired. Just when Liu Hua thought that the thousands of little Japs in the encirclement had been completely wiped out, only time was left.

While asking the question, a huge roar slowly reached Liu Hua's ears from far to near.

"No, the little devil's plane is here. However, our air defense regiment has not arrived at the battlefield yet. What a mistake. Brigadier Wang, immediately convey the order to all departments, asking them to pay attention to air defense, especially Shen who is responsible for blocking.

Tsinghua University and Luo Zhihui." Hearing the roar of the plane, Liu Hua quickly raised the telescope in his hand and looked at the sky. At the same time, he gave a loud order to the staff officers in the headquarters.

As he spoke, the first wave of Japanese reinforcement aircraft had already flown over the entire battlefield. The 12 aircraft, with a huge roar, began to circle back and forth above the soldiers' heads, preparing to find valuable targets and drop bombs.

.

"Da da da..." When they saw the Japanese aircraft, the soldiers on the battlefield did not prohibit anti-aircraft shooting like other Eighth Route Army troops. Instead, they immediately organized more than a dozen light machine guns to form a target.

They entered the aerial shooting position and began to fire into the air. Although the machine gun firepower in the hands of the soldiers could not do any damage to the Japanese aircraft nearly a kilometer high. However, the dense rain of bullets still made the pilots of the little Japanese wary.

If there are too few, we dare not carry out low-flying bomb drops.

"Buzz buzz..." A huge roar passed through the air. A plane quickly passed over the head of the warrior gate. At the same time, two small aerial bombs weighing dozens of kilograms came from behind with a roar.

It flew down from the belly of the plane and landed accurately on the soldiers' position.

"Boom..." Two huge explosions sounded on the soldiers' positions. Suddenly, two streams of black smoke rose from the impact point. Centered on the impact point, within a radius of dozens of meters, more than a dozen soldiers

All of them were blown to pieces, and more soldiers fell into a pool of blood with their flesh and blood mangled.

At the same time, the machine gun positions that continuously fired into the air seemed to have angered these little Japanese planes. With a huge roar, the two planes dropped several bombs on the heads of the soldiers. A loud explosion sounded, and ten

Several machine guns, along with dozens of soldiers, disappeared into thin air at the same time, and their bodies were blown away.

The little devils who were completely surrounded by the soldiers saw that their aircraft support had arrived, and their morale was boosted. At the same time, they launched several counterattacks, causing considerable damage to the soldiers.

"Damn it, if I had known earlier, I would have brought the air defense regiment... The soldiers would not have suffered such heavy losses, and the Japanese planes would not have been so arrogant..." Looking at the entire battlefield, among the 12 aircraft

With the participation, a qualitative change immediately occurred. At the same time, even the artillery regiment that he relied on most suffered heavy losses because he did not have time to move. Division Commander Liu Hua clenched his fists tightly and cursed loudly.

"Commander, this is a last resort. The air defense regiment must not leave too far under the circumstances at that time. Otherwise, the Taiyuan City we just occupied will be bombed by the Japanese army." Wang Benqing hurriedly reminded him.

"Hey, order all the troops not to walk back and forth on the position before the Japs plane leaves, to prevent the target from being exposed." After hearing Wang Benqing's words, Liu Hua nodded silently and ordered bitterly.

Finally, in line with everyone's expectations, 12 planes flew arrogantly above the soldiers for half an hour. Finally, due to fuel shortage, they threw away all the remaining bombs, waved their tails, and headed towards

Flying over the Shijiazhuang area.

"Report to the division commander that the Japanese aircraft have left. However, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties during the half-hour bombing. The heavy artillery regiment, in particular, received special attention from the two Japanese aircraft and almost lost most of its troops.

Combat power." As the Little Japanese plane left, temporary chief of staff Wang Benqing hurried into the headquarters. There was no joy on his face, but he said with a wry smile.

"Tell me quickly, the approximate losses of each unit..." Division Commander Liu Hua shook his head and asked anxiously, obviously very concerned about the losses of his troops.

"Yes, division commander. According to the reports from the commanders of each regiment, in the half-hour bombing by the Little Japanese plane just now, the nine infantry regiments lost a total of more than 1,200 people. In addition, the artillery regiment was destroyed with 18 artillery pieces, and the artillery lost 1,200 people."

More than 350 people." Wang Benqing shook his head and replied.

"Damn, the kid's plane is really arrogant. However, there are still several hours before dark. The kid's plane will come at least once. I hope that before the next Japanese plane comes, our air defense

The regiment was able to arrive in time. However, the losses of the soldiers during this bombing must be repaid with the blood of the Japs in the encirclement. Order the five main regiments on the front line to speed up the pace of the attack and annihilate the remaining Japs in the encirclement.

Japs." Liu Hua ordered bitterly.

"Yes, Commander. Don't worry. After half an hour of bombing by the Japs' planes, the soldiers were all holding their breath. As long as the order to attack is given, the soldiers will definitely scream and fight with the Japs.

The little devil's head, to avenge the sacrifice of his comrades." Wang Benqing answered loudly, and ran out of the temporary headquarters with excitement on his face.

"Boom, boom, boom..." A violent explosion of mortar shells sounded, announcing that the soldiers had begun another attack on the Japs in the encirclement. Zhou Guohua, commander of the third regiment of the first brigade, looked at the remaining soldiers in his encirclement.

There were less than a group of little Japs who fell down, their eyes filled with murderous intent, as if they wanted to swallow the remaining nearly a thousand Japs alive.

Because, just during the bombing by Japanese aircraft, an aerial bomb happened to fall accurately on the position of an infantry company of our third regiment. The entire infantry company, including the company commander, all sacrificed here.

During the explosion of an aerial bomb. At this time, Zhou Guohua vowed to use the heads of nearly a thousand little Japs in front of him to pay homage to the fallen soldiers.

"The artillery company blasted me hard and used up all the artillery shells we brought. I don't believe how hard-headed these little devils are." Zhou Guohua, the regiment leader, faced the artillerymen with nine mortars behind him.

Even the soldiers ordered loudly.

Upon hearing the order, the artillery gunners of the artillery company no longer considered anything, and immediately began firing artillery shells one after another at the Japanese position not far away at their fastest speed.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Suddenly, bursts of violent explosions rang out from the position occupied by the Japanese army. There were no fortifications, and on a bare position, mortar shells with fragmentation as their main lethality were heard.

In front of me, many little Japs were blown to the ground piece by piece.

"Baga... We must counterattack. There is no place to hide from the artillery fire around us. We must counterattack. Only through continuous counterattack can we last longer. Otherwise, our excellent troops will

The soldiers of the Imperial Army can only be wiped out in this intensive artillery fire." Under the cover of several guards, the Japanese captain, who was running back and forth in the artillery fire, couldn't help but roar loudly.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain...I will immediately organize troops to counterattack and destroy the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions..." a squadron leader replied loudly, turned around and rushed into the position under heavy artillery fire. After a while, they hurriedly assembled

A squadron of Japanese troops, under the command of the squadron leader, began to launch a counterattack towards the Eighth Route Army position.

"Haha, less than a hundred shells have been fired, and the little Japs can't stand it anymore. Order the first battalion to prepare for battle. We will kill as many as the little Japs rush over." Seeing more than two hundred Japs.

The Japs, under the command of a squadron leader, roared and rushed towards his troops. A smile of victory appeared on the corner of the captain Zhou Guohua's mouth, and he ordered with confidence.

"Yes, commander..." the first battalion commander replied with the same smile, turned around to command his first battalion, and began to arrange various light and heavy firepower in front of the little devil. When the time comes, he will directly give the little devil a fatal blow.

hit.

"Comrades, fire for me. Shoot... da da da da..." As the Japanese army got closer and closer, the loud voice of the commander of the first battalion sounded from the position of the first battalion. Three soldiers arranged on the position of the first battalion

A heavy machine gun and dozens of light machine guns spurted out tongues of flame at the same time.

The dense bullets formed an airtight rain of bullets in front of the little devil. The more than two hundred little devils who were charging quickly were knocked to the ground one after another in this dense rain of bullets. Just one after another.

In less than two minutes, all the little Japs in this squadron who were responsible for the counterattack fell under the guns of the soldiers.

"Baga, how is it possible? When did the Eighth Route Army have such powerful firepower and such powerful artillery fire? When did the heroic imperial soldiers of the Great *** Empire become so vulnerable in front of the Eighth Route Army? Baga Road

, Impossible, absolutely impossible?" The Japanese captain who was lying on the ground was looking at what was happening in front of him with his mouth open and said in disbelief.

At this time, Zhou Guohua saw that a squadron of Japanese soldiers had been wiped out. On the Japanese position under heavy artillery fire, there were fewer and fewer Japanese soldiers who could continue to move. A smile of victory finally appeared on his lips.
