Chapter 713 Train Bomb
The only regiment attacked the position. Seeing that the Fourth Company had entered the main Japanese position, the second battalion commander was so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground: "Political Commissar, the troops have attacked, your method is useful!"
The political commissar finally showed a long-lost smile on his serious face.
At the beginning of the attack, the troops attacked the Japanese through armored trains and instantly killed a squadron of Japanese soldiers.
But the remaining 400 Japanese were not vegetarians and immediately retreated to the main position. Because they were very well equipped and had concentrated troops, they forced themselves to withstand three attacks of the only regiment based on the railway line.
Although the artillery advantage and military strength advantages are on the side of the Unique Regiment, the political commissar did not want to spend too much artillery shells to deal with the remaining remaining defeated generals of the Third Battalion.
In his eyes, hundreds of Japanese devils in front of him have become turtles in a jar, and they will sooner or later be killed by the only ball. There is no need to waste shells on them anymore. At most, they can be surrounded and attacked without attacking them.
After learning that the Japanese army sent another four or five hundred people to kill here, the political commissar began to be anxious and realized that the method of trapping the Japanese to death would not work for the time being. He also had to find a way to fight and kill them quickly. Only in this way can the only regiment gather superior forces to deal with the reinforcements that the Japanese were rushing here.
Just as he reluctantly gave up and was about to end the battle with three hundred precious shells, the armored train parked on the railway attracted the attention of the political commissar.
In order to prevent the attacking troops from using armored trains to launch an attack again, the Japanese army not only piled up a large number of sandbags on the railway tracks to block the road, but also transferred an infantry artillery to the railway. As long as the armored train that the troops had just seized entered the range of the artillery, they immediately fired the cannon and destroyed it.
In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the political commissar had to temporarily give up the armored train.
Now that the troops are eager to take down the main position of the Japanese army, and the armored train cannot be taken away, a bold idea immediately emerged from the political commissar's mind.
Under normal circumstances, the speed of the armored train is very slow when launching an attack. While attacking forward, it uses artillery and heavy machine guns mounted on the train to attack the enemy and cover the infantry's attack.
This gave the Japanese army an excellent opportunity to fire artillery and destroy the train.
If you put the speed of the armored train to the limit and let it crash into the sandbags blocked by the Japanese army at the fastest speed, you will definitely be able to knock them away easily, and then continue along the railway tracks and rush into the main position of the Japanese...
At that time, in order to prevent accidents, the Japanese army would definitely concentrate all artillery fire to blow up the iron-armored train.
If you loaded hundreds of kilograms of black gunpowder into the train car in advance, and they were detonated by shells on the main Japanese position.
The huge power generated by the explosion of hundreds of kilograms of black gunpowder at the same time can definitely cause a large amount of damage to the Japanese army, and even destroy their main position.
Of course, even if the armored train is destroyed before entering the Japanese main position, the powerful power generated by the explosion of hundreds of kilograms of black gunpowder can open a hole in the Japanese main position to cover the infantry to enter!
The explosion just now was caused by the armored train.
In order to increase its power, the political commissar filled a thousand kilograms of black gunpowder in the carriage.
When the armored train advanced, the political commissar's luck was slightly worse. As soon as the train hit a sandbag piled on the tracks of the Japanese army, it was detonated by shells.
The seemingly indestructible armored train was instantly blown into parts by a thousand kilograms of black gunpowder. The powerful air waves and flying train parts were like a storm, quickly sweeping across all people and things around.
Because the explosion point is less than 30 meters away from the Japanese main position, and the killing radius of a thousand kilograms of black gunpowder exploded at the same time almost reached one hundred meters.
As a result, with the railway tracks as the center, the Japanese troops within fifty or sixty meters on both sides were almost swept across.
Except for a few Japanese who were hit by train parts flying overhead and fell to the ground and died. Most of the Japanese were shocked and injured by shock waves...
The fourth company's attack direction was right here. The seventy or eighty Japanese soldiers in front of them were blown away, and those who were still alive were shocked.
I finally met a few awake people who had just poked their heads out of the position and hit them into sieves when the rain of bullets flying towards me...
The Thousand Mile Dike collapsed in the ant hole. After the Fourth Company tore open the opening in the main position of the Japanese army. Facing the Eighth Route Army that was constantly entering the main position, the Japanese in other directions had to give up their positions and turn around and strangle them with the Eighth Route Army...
In this case, no matter how strong the Japanese army is in combat, they have to fall into the dilemma of being unable to defeat four hands with two fists. Moreover, if heavy weapons are thrown away, the light weapons equipped by a single group are not worse than those of the Japanese. Especially after a large number of box cannons joined the battle, the Japanese's casualties have significantly accelerated...
The battle situation is gradually developing in a direction that is beneficial to the national rescue army...
"Political Commissar, we won. None of the more than 400 Japanese in the main position missed the net, and we killed them all!" The battalion commander of the second battalion rushed out of the battlefield and reported with excitement.
With the current strength of the offensive troops, it was normal to eat more than 400 Japanese devils on the main position, so after hearing this good news, the political commissar was not surprised at all. Instead, he was more worried about the losses of the troops and asked immediately.
"Will the offensive troops suffer a great casualty? We have a big battle to fight next. If the casualties are too large, it will definitely affect the battles in the future."
The battalion commander quickly shook his head: "The fourth company rushed the fastest and was the first to enter the main position of the Japanese. The combat pressure was the greatest, the casualties were the greatest, and the losses were nearly two platoons. The troops going up behind only lost one or two squads, which did not affect their combat effectiveness at all."
Hearing this, the serious expression on the political commissar's face calmed down. After thinking for a few seconds, he made a decision: "The Fourth Company stayed to clean the battlefield, and the other troops gathered immediately to fight with me to fight the Japanese reinforcements, and bring all the mountain artillery and infantry artillery with me."
"The investigation troops said that the Japanese brought an armored train and a mountain artillery squadron, first concentrated artillery fire to knock out their heavy weapons, and then attacked the infantry!"
At the command center of the Japanese wing, Colonel Okamoto's face was flushed because of his anger, and the atmosphere at the command center became more and more depressing due to the continuous bad news.
The radio operator suddenly appeared in a hurry at the command department. When the chief of staff saw the expression on his face, he knew that the command center had received another bad news.
Before he could speak, he frowned and asked, "Which unit has a problem?"
"Report to the commander, the First Battalion just sent a farewell telegram. They were attacked by at least two main battalions of the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army was also equipped with mountain cannons and infantry cannons..."
"When the telegram was sent, there were less than a hundred people left in the army to continue fighting."
"When we finish collecting the telegram, we can no longer contact them!"
"Bageya Road, who can tell me how many troops the Unique Regiment ambushed along the railway?" Colonel Okamoto was anxious after hearing this, stared at his surrounding subordinates and asked a question.
"The Third Battalion was attacked by two reinforced battalions of the Eighth Route Army. Now the First Battalion was also attacked by two battalions of the Unique Regiment. Moreover, the First Battalion and the four infantry squadrons of the First Battalion were also attacked. Eighty-tenths of ten have been destroyed. Where did they come from so many troops? Can anyone give me an explanation!"
