Chapter 901 Lao Tzu wants to hit the First Army
Outside Shimen City, Chen Zhengyu was organizing troops to siege the last reinforcement unit.
In order to paralyze the Japanese, they felt that the stone gate had not been lost, so they had to buy the Eighth Route Army one more day to transport supplies. The encirclement and annihilation battle that should have ended last night was suppressed by him until now to launch the general attack.
"Boom..." Six mountain cannons roared together, and the shells hit the Japanese army's emergency repair positions during the day with a harsh roar.
A ball of orange-red fireball rose from the ground, and the logs used by the Japanese to send out the trenches were blown away on the spot. The trench more than one meter deep was also blown to pieces in the explosion...
All three Japanese hiding in this trench were blown away, and the worst Japanese slaughtered into minced meat...
This is only part of the entire encirclement and annihilation battle. There are countless mortars and mountain artillery in other directions pouring shells into the hills trapped by the Japanese army.
"Chief of Staff, it's almost done! If you blow it up, you will be bombed by artillery shells? It's razed to the ground." The first battalion commander He Feng was very anxious to remind him, fearing that the Japanese on the high ground would be blown up by artillery soldiers, and he led his men to rush up and could not catch anything!
"What's the hurry!" Chen Zhengyu cursed with a smile.
"I estimate that there are more than 600 Japanese on the high ground. This shelling will only be successful if it kills at least 400 Japanese. The enemy who can be solved with shells must not let the soldiers rush up and fight to the death. This is the combat principle that the regiment commander repeatedly emphasized and must be followed!"
"Do you know how many shells we seized in Shimen City? More than 50,000 were shot, and our national rescue army divided 20,000, which was enough for us to blow up all the Japanese on the high ground!"
"Let the troops be prepared for assault, and the artillery will rush up to finish after another five minutes to clean up the battlefield!"
After giving the order, Chen Zhengyu put down his telescope and returned to the command center.
With the absolute advantage of artillery fire, there is only a matter of time left to wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops on the high ground, and there will be no accidents.
"Chief of Staff, the regiment commander is in urgent need of a telegram!" Deng Jinghua ran over to report with excitement.
"The left-behind troops in the defense zone are encircling and annihilation of the Japanese and puppet troops that have penetrated our base. The regiment commander asked us to immediately assemble the main force to kill the Xiangzhengtai Railway, and use the encirclement point to attack the Japanese and puppet troops on the railway, further damaging the strength of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi, so that they have no strength to attack us within the next year!"
Chen Zhengyu was very happy and said, "I am worried that after killing the Japanese on the high ground, we will have no war. The regiment commander immediately sent a telegram to arrange combat missions. It was simply too timely!"
"I'm sending my order: the first battalion of the main force stays here and continues to destroy the remaining enemies. The other troops gather to the Zhengtai Railway immediately, where there are large pieces of fat waiting for us to eat. The soldiers have rested for the whole day and it's time to have a good meal."
"I inform all battalion commanders that whoever arrives at the Zhengtai Railway first will let me take charge of the main attack tonight."
After the Japanese Chief of Staff was bombed to death as soon as the war started, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops immediately fell into chaos.
Although a captain stood up to take over the command immediately, the Japanese and puppet troops had been divided into three parts, and the soldiers gathered around him had only more than 400!
"The national rescue army has too many troops and strong firepower. Our troops are too few. There is no mortar to provide artillery fire protection. We must join other troops to break out of the encirclement, otherwise they will definitely be defeated and destroyed here!" The captain saw the bad situation he was facing, and shouted with a serious face with a commanding knife in his hand.
"Captain, there is at least one company of the national rescue troops in front of us blocking the road. If you want to join other troops, you must pass through their defense line!" a captain squadron leader reminded.
The captain gritted his teeth and ordered: "We have more than 400 people, and the other party has only one company. If you rush hard, you will definitely be able to get in!"
"All light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers are all concentrated in front, staring at a point on the defense line and attacking me hard. All the soldiers who can move are ready for assault. Once the fire cover is over, they will all attack forward. No one can stop without my orders. They can join other troops at all costs. Only then can we have a chance to kill the exit pocket array, otherwise everyone will die here!"
The Japanese's combat qualities are really not enough. Although they suffered heavy losses in the raid just now and the troops fell into chaos because of the loss of their commander, as long as someone stood up and led the way, they would immediately return to their usual fierce state.
With the command of the captain, the surviving machine gunners around moved, carrying heavy machine guns and light machine guns, and rushed to the front of the team without hesitation.
"Shoot...da da da da da...da da da...da du du dong..." The captain's command knife waved forward, and more than twenty light and heavy machine guns spewed out flames forward together, and more than ten grenade launchers flew into the sky at the same time.
The company that assaulted along the highway was caught off guard and lost two infantry squads.
The company commander's eyes turned red, and he clenched his fists and ordered with a heartache: "The Japanese in front want to kill us and join the other Japanese and puppet troops, and they must not let their conspiracy succeed!"
"Everyone set up a line of defense on the spot and block them at all costs!"
The instructor was a little cautious and reminded with a worried look: "Company Commander, the enemy's firepower is too strong and its troops are several times more powerful than us. If we take it hard, we will definitely not be the opponent. Otherwise, we will fight and retreat!"
"As long as the ambush troops from other directions come here in time, the Japanese in front will be unable to escape!"
The company commander shook his head without hesitation: "Can't withdraw!"
"The Japanese and puppet troops in front of them are all the results of the battle. If we kill them with our own strength, the first merit of this ambush will be ours, and no one can take it away!"
"Isn't it just that there are too many people and strong firepower? We are not vegetarians in a row!"
"Although the troops are not as strong as them, their firepower is not bad at all!"
"Immediately bring all the light and heavy machine guns seized by the Japanese devils, block the Japanese devils' corpse in front as a bunker. We will kill as much as the Japanese devils come in a while!"
"The whole army attacked forward, kill him..." The Japanese's cover firepower was only two minutes before the captain issued an assault order to the troops.
It’s not that he can’t bear to leave the bullets, but that time doesn’t allow him to continue shooting.
There are ambushes of national rescue troops everywhere, and they must break through the first line of defense as soon as possible to meet with other troops.
The speed was slower, and other national rescue troops surrounded him. Even if he had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to turn the world back.
More than two hundred Japanese storms rushed forward with guns, letting bullets fly towards him, looking at him as if they were ready to die.
The heavy machine gun troops and grenade launchers followed closely, stopping at any time to provide fire cover for them. More than 200 infantrymen ran to the end, ready to cross the heavy machine gun troops and assault forward at any time...
"Prepare the machine gun, put the Japanese close to 80 meters before firing the fire." The company commander's eyes flashed with excitement.
"The grenade launcher stared at the heavy machine gun troops inside the Japanese. They fired fire as soon as they stopped. It doesn't matter if they were on the right track. As long as they could hit them so that they could not stop and shoot at us."
"Prepare to… open fire…"
