Bright Sword: Hosting the independent regiment, all become special forces

Chapter 208 Surrounding and annihilating the Fourth Mixed Brigade
Before Brigadier Cheng's words fell, a new round of Japanese offensive began.

This time, the Japanese and puppet troops were full of confidence, and they wanted to completely defeat the defenders in front of them with this attack.

So they directly used the strength of two infantry brigades, and there were almost a thousand or so troops left.

If this is still defended by the independent Fifth Brigade, which is short of troops and ammunition, it is really hard to say what will happen.

"boom!"

A few unlucky Japanese and puppet soldiers stepped on the early warning mines set up last night, and the explosion sounded,
Under the influence of the landmine fragments, the Japanese and puppet troops injured several people on the spot.

The soldiers were ready for battle in an instant, and they all took their positions, aiming their guns at the attacking Japanese army at the foot of the mountain.

The Japanese army was at least 200 meters away from them. According to their previous defensive strategy, at least they had to put the devils 50 meters away before firing.

So these devils charged with their heads up, very arrogant, sure that the Independent Fifth Brigade defending in front of them would not shoot them at such a long distance.

However, the soldiers of the Special Second Regiment who had just switched defenses were not used to them. Under the orders of their squad leaders, the precision shooters kept firing. In just over ten seconds, more than [-] Japanese and puppet troops fell.

The remaining Japanese and puppet troops reacted quickly and quickly crawled to the ground, looking at the wailing Japanese and puppet troops who were killed or wounded with lingering fear.

"Baga! What's going on here?"

Although the Japanese and puppet troops of the [-]th Mixed Brigade had also received formal training, their combat effectiveness was much worse than that of the devils stationed in Yangquan and Taiyuan City, let alone the Sixth Division, which made Li Yunlong suffer a lot. rank.

After the precision shooter shot to suppress the attack speed of the Japanese and puppet troops, they shrank back.

Seeing that the attack was blocked, the artillery brigade of the Japanese army immediately ordered to fire and a round of artillery support came. The soldiers all shrank in trenches or anti-bunker holes, and were not affected at all.

As soon as the shelling of the Japanese and puppet troops attacking under the mountain ended, they rushed forward screaming.

The first battalion commander of the special regiment smiled and said: "Good chance, grenades and grenades are all ready!"

"Yes!"

The violent explosion made the already restless battlefield "lively".

The Japanese and puppet troops suffered hundreds of casualties in an instant, and they were still used to attacking just now.The rhythm of sporadic heavy weapons and grenades, at this moment, at least five or six hundred grenades mixed with hundreds of grenade grenades, smashed down head-on and face-to-face.

It directly stopped the attacking Japanese and puppet troops in an instant, and no matter how the commander swung the command knife, they could not make them move forward.

Brigadier Cheng envied: "My mother, how many grenadiers do you have?"

The first battalion commander smiled: "Not many, a regiment only has more than 100 gates."

"More than 100? Damn, our brigade only has three grenadiers and two mortars. Your regiment has a lot of equipment. Did the headquarters distribute them to you?"

Brigadier Cheng clenched his fists enviously.

The first battalion commander shook his head: "No, these were all seized from the previous battle with the devils. The headquarters is not capable of assigning us so many heavy weapons."

Before the commander of the first battalion finished speaking, the Japanese attack started again.

Only the last seven or eighty meters are left from the front of their position. ,

This distance is the best shooting distance for the Victory submachine gun. For a while, the soldiers of the Special Second Regiment of the two battalions fired a firepower density far exceeding the size of the two troops of the Independent Fifth Brigade.

The head of the Fourth Mixed Brigade, Daiki Fujimoto, who was watching, was terrified: "What the hell is going on! How could they do it with such a density of firepower."

Adjutant Devil even had cold sweat on his brow in horror: "Brigade Commander, this weapon seems to be an independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Brigadier Commander, let's retreat!"

In order to cover up his fear, Fujimoto Dahui slapped the adjutant on the face: "Baga! How can the locust army of our Great Japanese Empire escape without a fight! Besides, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army should be attacking the Taiyuan area, which is absolutely impossible It's a unit of the Independent Regiment."

The adjutant remained silent and didn't dare to continue speaking. He was already scared out of his wits. Now he felt that being in the command post was an endless torture.

You must know that the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army likes to destroy their headquarters the most.

The well-defended Sixth Division headquarters were silently destroyed by them, let alone the brigade headquarters where they were in the midst of a scuffle.

"Send a report to the Ninth Mixed Brigade, saying that we have encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army who came to support us, and ask them to assist in the attack!"

"Hay!"

Fujimoto Daiki's trembling hands couldn't even hold the telescope in his hand, and the shadow of a famous tree. When he learned that his opponent had become an independent regiment, he even wanted to report it to the North China Front Army Command as soon as possible.

But for the sake of caution, he cannot be judged to be the main force of the enemy army just because of the intensity of firepower at this moment. In case of a wrong judgment, Fujimoto Daiki cannot bear the responsibility.

Brigadier Cheng looked at the Japanese and puppet troops who had been cut off like straws, and clapped his hands excitedly: "Mother, I said brother, your weapons are really powerful. Our brigade doesn't even have one. It seems to be called a victory weapon." As for submachine guns, thirty of them were supposed to be assigned to us this month, but they didn’t come when the station opened, which is really enviable!”

The first battalion commander waved his hand: "This is the victory-style submachine gun produced by Xiaowangzhuang Arsenal. This gun is good, but it is not very durable. After this battle, these victory-style submachine guns are basically scrapped!"

When Brigadier Cheng heard it, he was puzzled and said, "How come, why is such a precious thing so unusable? Some of our soldiers use shotguns that have been used for decades."

The first battalion commander probably understood the meaning of the brigade commander: "Brigade commander, don't worry, we will only take a small part of the captured weapons and equipment, and leave all the crooked hands, Type [-], and so on to you! "

When Brigadier Cheng heard this, he scratched his head: "That's so embarrassing, then I thank you in advance!"

The battle was still going on, and the Japanese and puppet troops who suffered heavy casualties stood up and wanted to retreat. The soldiers of the Special Second Regiment did not get used to them, and all the iron fists that were originally planned to attack Taiyuan were fired at this time.

Fujimoto Daiki's eyes were shattered, and he looked angrily at the soldiers of the Special Second Regiment who even stood up and pursued: "Quickly, let the artillery units fire!"

"Brigade Commander, our soldiers haven't withdrawn yet!"

Fujimoto Daiki shouted: "It's too late, give the order!"

The Artillery Brigade started a new round of shelling on the battlefield, and the two brigades of the Japanese and Puppet Army, which had already suffered heavy casualties, were once again in trouble. However, Fujimoto Daihui had no doubt that if this round of shelling hadn't stopped the Eighth Route Army troops who wanted to pursue them, otherwise Their casualties will be even more severe.

Brigadier Cheng looked at the retreating Japanese and puppet troops leaving behind a pile of corpses, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising: "These bastards, haha, now I see how rampant they are!"

"Brother, what is the next battle plan?"

The first battalion commander smiled: "At two o'clock in the afternoon, launch an attack on the [-]th Mixed Brigade on time.

The chief and our regiment leaders have probably arrived at the designated combat positions by now, just wait for the time. "

Looking back at Zhang Wei's side, they bypassed the left wing of the Fourth Mixed Brigade and arrived at the designated combat position.

"Captain, what's going on?"

The monk was full of doubts, looking at the corpses of many Japanese puppet soldiers and guerrillas on the hillside.

Zhang Wei was silent for a moment: "Mostly, the Japanese and puppet troops wanted to outflank the left flank and annihilate the Fifth Independent Brigade, but they were blocked by this unknown small unit here. It was because of them that the Japanese army was forced to change their combat plan. .”

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he called Duan Peng over: "Go, notify the troops, rest where they are, and prepare for battle.

Be alert to possible enemies at any time, we are not far from the Japanese army! "

"Yes!"

The soldiers sat together in twos and threes, drinking water and eating dry food, and even quite a few soldiers sat together, smoking a cigarette that had been passed four or five times.

Zhang Wei stepped forward: "I told you to smoke less and affect your physical fitness. If you still don't listen, give me one!"

The squad leader smiled, took out the only cigarette left from his pocket, handed it to Zhang Wei, and took out a match to light it.

Zhang Wei took a deep breath, and coughed because of the strong smell. The soldiers around him laughed instantly, and Zhang Wei said, "Smiling fart, I'm smoking violently! What kind of smoke."

After speaking, he threw the Camel brand cigarettes in his pocket to them: "Smoke mine, mother, what kind of crap!"

Taking another deep puff, Zhang Wei threw the half pack of cigarettes in his hands to them, got up cursing and went to look elsewhere.

Several soldiers looked at their squad leader silently, and the squad leader nodded: "This is the kindness of the regiment leader, share among the brothers, and give a few to the brothers next door, don't take it alone!"

"understood!"

This time, they are carrying out the most dangerous mission. To encircle and annihilate the Fourth Mixed Brigade, they must cut off the connection between the two brigades, so as to separate them, and then concentrate their superior forces to encircle and annihilate the Fourth Mixed Brigade group.

However, their lack of troops meant that this encirclement and annihilation battle would be very difficult. Zhang Wei led the troops to perform the most dangerous interspersed mission.

Many people are destined to die in this battle, and no one knows who will be lucky enough to survive, so Zhang Wei naturally wants to give them better things before the battle.

After encouraging the old subordinates of the supply company and the mortar company, Zhang Wei came to the Black Tiger Special Brigade.

The soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade here were talking and laughing, and some even sang some nasty folk songs.

It's not as tense as they are.

"How are you preparing? You must know that their junction has almost a brigade of troops."

Leng Feng glanced at the crowd and smiled: "Leader, don't worry, we promise to complete the interspersed tasks beautifully."

Zhang Wei nodded: "Your tasks are very heavy. I will lead the supply company and the mortar company. Once you stand firm, you can retreat. Remember, half an hour is enough!"

Leng Feng nodded: "Leader, please rest assured, we promise to complete the task."

Zhang Wei patted Leng Feng on the shoulder in fear: "Remember, bring them back as much as possible, we have plenty of opportunities."

Zhang Wei looked down at the watch in his hand: "There are still 5 minutes, order the troops, get ready to fight!"

The soldiers checked their weapons and equipment for the last time, staring at the direction of attack not far away.

The mortar company had already set up mortars, and this distance did not need to be calibrated. Under the sudden attack, the casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops were bound to be large.

Zhang Wei looked down at his watch again, turned around and looked back at Duan Peng, and then picked up the telescope in his hand.

Duan Peng beckoned to Wang Chengzhu, and Wang Chengzhu immediately ordered: "The established combat target, three shells! Let go!"

"chong!"

The mortar shells flew towards the Japanese squad that was on guard with a long scream.

"bomm"

"Boom!"

Explosions continued one after another, setting off bursts of mud, and the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

The shelling stopped soon, and Leng Feng led the soldiers of the Black Tiger Special Brigade to pick up their guns and rush out.

Before the Japanese army could even react, Leng Feng and the others had already rushed forward.

They kept shooting to reap the lives of the Japanese and puppet troops. They did not stop, and continued to attack in the distance. The shelling and running company quickly packed up the mortars.

Zhang Wei went up with the baggage transportation company, occupied this hill, and quickly began to prepare for the fortifications.

The Japanese army of the Ninth Mixed Brigade was attacked suddenly, and it was unclear what the situation was. It is very rare for the Eighth Route Army to use artillery, and this level of firepower is mostly the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

In order to be cautious, the devil withdrew five or six miles away, and the connection with the fourth mixed brigade was cut off in an instant.

At the same time, the independent mixed fifth brigade on frontal defense, the newly formed ninth regiment who rushed over to support in the afternoon, and the two battalions of the plus second regiment also launched an attack on the fourth mixed brigade.

Wang Chengzhu on the flank also led troops to attack the flank of the [-]th Mixed Brigade.

In an instant, the entire battlefield was in full swing.

Fujimoto Daiki's Fourth Mixed Brigade had just gathered its troops and counted its losses and existing strength. As an offensive arrow, they now included less than [-] combatable soldiers including the artillery brigade.

The sudden attack disrupted his deployment, and he was devastated for a while.

Reluctantly ordered: "Order the troops, stick to the spot, send a report to the Ninth Mixed Brigade, requesting support, and send a report to General Okamura, requesting support!"

The battle was very fierce, and the soldiers of the Special Second Regiment launched a fearless charge towards the Japanese positions under the cover of artillery fire.

At the same time, Shen Quan and others attacked very smoothly. The Fourth Infantry Battalion had a large number of puppet troops. After being attacked by mortars, many puppet troops who were afraid of death gave up their positions and fled backwards.

The defense line, which was originally insufficient in strength, was torn open by Shen Quan in an instant, driving the Japanese army's front line to retreat in an all-round way.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army achieved rapid close combat just half an hour after attacking. At this time, the headquarters of the North China Front Army had just received a telegram. After the quick translation, it was already an hour later.
