Bright sword, I have a red police base car

Chapter 280: Siege of Zhuzhong Brigade (ask for monthly votes at the beginning of the month)

During the Anti-Japanese War, individual puppet troops still had a certain degree of combat effectiveness when facing the National Army and the Eighth Route Army.

Especially in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army was small in number and poorly equipped. Some puppet troops would take the initiative to attack the Eighth Route Army troops in order to gain the appreciation of the Japanese.

But things are different now.

The Eighth Route Army used the equipment of the Red Police Force and wore the uniforms of the Red Police Force. The puppet army, which had long been punched into the right pocket by the Red Police Force, did not even react at all when they saw this situation. At that time, they knelt down to the Eighth Route Army.

After all, the density of firepower of the Red Police Force is unique in the world, and Zhang Shijie's phobia of insufficient firepower has long been terminal.But this cannot be blamed on Zhang Shijie. Zhang Shijie had this problem before he traveled to the world of Liangjian. It was due to the general environment that all rabbits were like this.

Under this situation, a company of puppet troops was quickly controlled by the Eighth Route Army soldiers under the intimidation of the "Ping'an County Security Group".

At this time, the staff bodies and headquarters of the [-]th and [-]th regiments of the Eighth Route Army sat together and began to make arrangements for the next encirclement operation plan against the main force of the Japanese army.

"Comrades, the vanguard of the Japanese army has been controlled by us. The next task of annihilating the main force of the Japanese army will be much easier, but we still cannot take it lightly. The task given to us by the headquarters this time is to completely annihilate this Japanese army. , remember not to let this unit go!"

As the commander of this battle, No. 11 regiment commander Yue Chuanshan emphasized the precautions for this battle to the battalion and company commanders of the two regiments in the headquarters.

"In this battle, the [-]th Regiment and the [-]th Regiment encircled the Japanese troops from the east and west sides respectively. Each unit must pay attention to the layout of the encirclement of the Japanese troops to ensure that no breakthrough is left for the little devils, especially in the two maps The position between the seams, this position is often the most overlooked!”

At this time, a Japanese brigade was continuing to advance towards Yaojiayu.

"Liu Battalion Commander, where are the vanguard troops?" Yukihei Takenaka, the leader of the Japs' Takezhong Battalion, asked the puppet battalion commander on the side.

Upon hearing this, the puppet army battalion commander Liu immediately nodded and bowed and replied: "Taijun, just now the leading troops responded that they have arrived near Yaojiayu, and they should have gathered all the folks in Yaojiayu by now."

Yukihei Takenaka nodded, "Yo Xi! Order the troops to speed up and reach Yaojiayu as soon as possible!"

"Roms!"

Just as the little devils were speeding up their march towards Yaojiayu, the Eighth Route Army's artillery troops were stepping up their efforts to improve the artillery positions, planning to give the little devils a sap when they entered Yaojiayu.

On the west side of Yaojiayu, the artillery company of the No. 11 Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was making final adjustments to the originally calibrated Zhuyuan.

"Instructor Han, can you see that there is no problem in calculating the firing angle of this artillery?" an Eighth Route Army artilleryman said to the instructor.

Due to the weaponry and equipment support of the Red Police Force, the proportion of technical arms in the Eighth Route Army has increased rapidly. However, the number of training personnel in the Artillery and Air Defense Academy opened by the Red Police Force is currently too small compared to the number of Eighth Route Army personnel.

So Zhang Shijie sent a large number of artillerymen to the Eighth Route Army to serve as grassroots instructors. With the presence of these instructors, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army's regiment level troops also had the most basic combat effectiveness guarantee.

However, most of the artillery instructors dispatched by the Red Police Force are in the Eighth Route Army division artillery regiments and brigade artillery battalions. The barrel artillery equipped by these troops is more needed than the mortars and recoilless rifles equipped by regiment-level troops. The presence of instructors from the Red Police Force.

Therefore, there are actually not many artillery instructors assigned to each regiment.

These Eighth Route Army units assigned to artillery instructors were designated as Type B regiments by the headquarters. These regiments have formed heavy machine gun companies, artillery companies and other company-level fire support units, such as the No. 11 regiment that is performing the Yaojiayu combat mission.

Troops that are not assigned instructors can only set up a machine gun company in the troops directly under the regiment. Such regiments are called C-type regiments, such as the No. 19 regiment and Li Yunlong's new regiment.

There is not only a gap between the B regiment and the service regiment in the heavy support firepower organization, but also in the weapons and equipment.

丙种团的机炮连通常装备的都是日军的九二式重机枪或者马克沁/民二四式重机枪，炮兵方面则通常为60迫击炮或者极少量的82迫击炮；乙种团的重机枪连则装备红警部队出售的53式重机枪和77式高射机枪，炮兵连则装备82毫米迫击炮和75毫米无后坐力炮。

In this case, the firepower of Group B is naturally much stronger than that of Group C.

As the real main force of the Eighth Route Army, the Type A Regiment is a unit that has received training from the Red Police Force.

These regiment-level troops who have been trained by the Red Police Force are not only equipped with radio stations at the battalion level, but also use the weapons and equipment of the Red Police Force, and even have an artillery battalion!

Their firepower density was even stronger than that of a previous brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

After simple calculations and observations, the instructor of the Red Police Force who was assigned to the No. 11 Regiment said to the Eighth Route Army soldier: "There is nothing wrong with this gun. Go and sort out the shells and fuses. The little Japs will be here soon!"

"Yes!"

Twenty minutes later, Captain Yukihei Takenaka and the puppet battalion commander rode their tall horses and led the troops to Yaojiayu.

Regarding the quiet village entrance, the two of them had no doubt in their minds. It must be the vanguard that gathered the people in the village.

So the two led their troops to the threshing floor in the village.

"Eh? Where's the Second Company? Where the hell are they all?!" Seeing that the threshing floor was empty, the puppet battalion commander couldn't help but cursed, while the Japanese captain Yukihei Takenaka's hair stood up immediately when he saw this, and he shouted loudly : "Takenaka Brigade! Prepare to fight"

"Oh!"

A 6.5mm Tomosaka rifle bullet instantly passed through Takenaka Yukihei's chest, and then a gunshot rang through Yaojiayu.

"Captain!"

When the kid next to Takenaka Yukihira saw this, he immediately rushed over to check Takenaka Yukihira's injuries. He saw that there was only a small hole in Takenaka Yukihira's chest, but there was a fist-sized hole in his back, and the location was right at the heart.

The old devil in Zhuzhong is dead!

Who made this old devil ride a tall horse, and the rank of Major on his collar looked so dazzling in the sunlight? If not him, who would be beaten?
Just as the little devils and puppet soldiers were looking around with guns in hand, two artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army also began to attack the Japanese army.

The main force of the artillery attack was naturally the artillery company of the No. 11 Regiment, but the machine gun company of the No. 19 Regiment was not far behind, using their fastest hand speed to pour firepower on the Japanese army.

An infantry company from the No. 11 Regiment of the Eighth Route Army also quickly blocked the gap in the encirclement. At this point, the little Japanese was completely surrounded.

At the same time, the Japanese troops who had just entered Yaojiayu and were not yet firmly established were also hit by fierce artillery fire.

Compared with the artillery strike intensity of the Red Police force, the artillery firepower of the Eighth Route Army is much inferior, and in the absence of precise artillery guidance, the artillery strike efficiency of the Eighth Route Army force is much lower than that of the Red Police force.

After all, the artillery of the Red Police Force can fire "long-eyed cannons." The new artillery of the Eighth Route Army and the artillery of the Red Police Force are completely different.

But compared to the Eighth Route Army in the past, the density of their artillery fire now is beyond their imagination.

Although the captain of the Little Devils is dead, they are after all an elite force of the Japanese army, composed of veterans who have been in the army for several years. In this unexpected situation, they still retreated step by step to the village of Yaojiayu, intending to use the buildings for defense. Artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army.

Upon seeing this, the commander of the artillery company of the No. 11 regiment shouted loudly: "Intensify the artillery fire! Drive all the little devils into the village!"

At the same time, the Type 53 heavy machine gun and Type 77 anti-aircraft machine gun of the heavy machine gun company also began to fire on the Japanese troops and drove the Japanese troops into the village.

After the little devil was expelled to the village, the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army also began to further shrink the encirclement.

After the Zhuzhong Brigade and the puppet troops entered the village, the little devils found that the Eighth Route Army's artillery strikes had stopped, but the buildings in the village did not give them any sense of security, and instead caused them a certain number of casualties.

After all, the Eighth Route Army was prepared in advance to encircle and attack the Japanese army, and was naturally well prepared for the Japanese army's attack methods.

Under the arrangements of the Eighth Route Army soldiers, Yaojia Village was full of traps and mines at this time. After the little devils entered the village, explosions and screams from the Japanese and puppet troops could be heard from time to time.

Eighth Route Army: If we can let you enter the village unscathed, wouldn’t our arrangement be in vain?
And the most important thing is that there are more than 100 people in a brigade of the Little Japs. Even if the Eighth Route Army just gave them a cold blow, there are still close to 1000 people in the Little Japs now, plus more than 300 puppet troops at this time The Japanese troops still have strong combat effectiveness.Due to the accelerated expansion of the Eighth Route Army, the proportion of new recruits was too high, so the attack efficiency was very low.

If the Red Police troops attacked the Japanese army, within ten minutes from the time of shooting to the time when the Japanese troops withdrew to the village, the Red Police troops would be able to kill at least half of the Japanese and puppet troops!
Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army currently has two regiments with nearly 5000 troops. The Eighth Route Army still has a great advantage in terms of numbers.

"Order the artillery squad to build a position immediately and counterattack the Chinese army!"

"Roms!"

After Yukihei Takenaka was killed, the command of the Takenaka Brigade was handed over to the deputy captain Honda Tokuji. After entering the village, Honda Tokuji's first order was to have the artillery units prepare for a counterattack.

Since the Japanese army's mission this time was to mop up, the artillery team was not equipped with the Type 92 infantry cannon, but was equipped with two 90mm mortars.

Two mortars were quickly deployed by the Japanese army, intending to counterattack the artillery position of the [-]th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army also began to prepare to attack the Japanese army.

Since a large number of booby traps and traps were laid in Yaojiayu by the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese and puppet troops concentrated on the periphery at this time and gradually cleared the booby traps inside Yaojiayu.

"Boom! Boom!" As two explosions rang out around the [-]th Regiment's artillery position, the artillery company instantly realized that the Japanese artillery had completed preparations and was preparing to counterattack.

"The Japanese army test-fired, move positions!"

The artillery company of the No. 11 regiment immediately closed its artillery after receiving the order and began to move its position. However, since the Japanese artillerymen were all veterans, they quickly adjusted the angle of the artillery, and then fired two more artillery shells.The artillery company that was being transferred still lost one artillery group to the Japanese artillery fire.

On the east side of Yaojiayu, the artillery platoon of the No. 19 regiment's machine gun company also discovered the location of the Little Japanese artillery position, and then concentrated the entire platoon's three 60mm mortars to begin attacking the Japanese artillery position.

However, the artillerymen of the No. 19 Regiment were all novices. The three mortars did not accurately hit the Japanese artillery positions. Only two Japanese artillerymen were hit by stray bullets. Then the Japanese army immediately moved the artillery positions.

Although they are all C-type regiments, the No. 19 regiment does not have a master gunner like Wang Chengzhu. Although Wang Chengzhu is a wild man and can only rely on talent to guide his apprentices, his shooting is really accurate!

However, this kind of artilleryman is not replicable, so even if the Eighth Route Army has 5 times the strength of the Japanese army, due to the large number of recruits and poor proficiency of technical arms, the Japs can still launch a wave of defensive counterattacks.

In the original history, this period of time was when the Eighth Route Army had the largest number of recruits and the most severe decline in combat effectiveness.

However, the Eighth Route Army could not sit still and wait for death. When the artillery of the No. 19 Regiment counterattacked, the Eighth Route Army troops in the west position also began to attack the Japanese army.

A company of the Eighth Route Army, under the cover of a heavy machine gun company, began to charge against the Japanese army.

In real combat, troops charging is not a group charge like in TV series. Even the recruits of the Eighth Route Army are not stupid to that extent.A platoon of Eighth Route Army troops began to advance toward the Japanese army in a dispersed formation.

Thanks to the large number of light machine guns purchased by the Eighth Route Army, each squad of the Eighth Route Army has a Type 53 light machine gun to accompany the infantry to provide automatic fire support.

Under this circumstance, the Japanese army also began to counterattack the Eighth Route Army, but the Taisho 53 light machine guns they equipped were usually suppressed when facing the Eighth Route Army's Type [-] light machine guns.

So the little Japanese simply stopped suppressing firepower on the Eighth Route Army and waited for the Eighth Route Army to gradually approach.

When the Eighth Route Army troops approached the Japanese defensive position less than 200 meters, the Japanese army suddenly opened fire!Although the veterans of the Eighth Route Army repeatedly emphasized the need to be careful of sudden Japanese firepower during the attack, two recruits were still hit by the Japanese because they were half a beat too slow to react.

Upon seeing this, the light machine gunners of each team immediately suppressed the Japanese troops with firepower.

But this is the moment the little devil has been waiting for!
As the Eighth Route Army's three light machine guns opened fire, the Japanese army's already prepared grenades were also aimed at the Eighth Route Army's three light machine guns.

The power of the little devil's grenade barrel in the hands of veterans is quite terrifying.

During the Anti-Japanese War, how terrible were the Japanese grenade launchers?
用淞沪会战举例，当时中国的18军14师42旅的36挺重机枪被日军掷弹筒在一轮进攻中就干掉了32挺，剩下的由于担心日军的掷弹筒也基本没有发挥什么作用。

At that time, the Chinese army's heavy machine guns generally could only fire a few hundred rounds of ammunition before moving their positions, while the light machine guns with a shorter range generally had to move their positions after firing half a magazine to one magazine.

Now the Eighth Route Army's three machine guns have to perform suppression tasks to cover the infantry in the face of the Japanese light machine guns, and the little devils have been preparing for the Eighth Route Army's light machine guns for a long time, so when the Japanese grenade was launched, the Eighth Route Army's light machine gun team did not react. come over.

With three explosions, the three light machine gun groups accompanying the Eighth Route Army's attack were directly knocked out by Japanese grenades.

"Fuck!" The second company commander of the [-]th Regiment cursed angrily when he saw this, and then issued an order: "Order the platoon to withdraw!"

"Yes!"

As the signal for the retreat order sounded from the rear, the platoon that had just been responsible for the attack also began to retreat.

"Report to the regimental commander! The second company's attack plan against the Japanese artillery failed!"

"I understand." At this time, Yue Chuanshan was observing the current battlefield situation with the command periscope in the regiment headquarters.

"If we don't capture the Japs' artillery positions, then we will be directly hit by Japs mortars when we attack. Then our losses will be too great!"

The Chief of Staff of the No. 11 Regiment heard this and said: "But the artillery unit of the Japs is too small. If they don't take the initiative to fire, we won't be able to find them at all!"

At this time, there was silence in the headquarters of the No. 11 Regiment. Although there was no suspense for the Eighth Route Army to annihilate this group of Japs, if the losses were too great, it would be an unacceptable thing for the Eighth Route Army.

However, there was not much time left for the Eighth Route Army. The surrounded little Japanese must have called for help from the rear through the radio. If the delay was too long, the two regiments were likely to be surrounded by the Japanese army.

At this moment, the artillery instructor sent by the Red Police Force to the 82th Regiment came to the headquarters of the No. 11 Regiment with the barrel of an [-] mm mortar.

The barrel of this mortar was the one from the gun group that had just been hit by Japanese artillery. Although the frame was hit by fragments, fortunately the barrel was not damaged.

For the artillery of the Red Police Force, one barrel of this small and medium-caliber mortar is enough to be effective.

"Captain, I have a way to kill the Japanese artillery!" Instructor Han said to Yue Chuanshan.

"Instructor Han, you are a professional artilleryman. Please tell me your method."

"Captain, I suggest you order the artillery company to continue to fire on the Japanese positions, lure the Japanese artillery to fire, and immediately move the position after two rounds of shooting. Just arrange for two ammunition handlers to leave the rest to me."

When Yue Chuanshan saw that instructor Han only had a mortar barrel covered in gunpowder smoke, he asked him, "Can this barrel work?"

"If we can't take out the Japanese artillery positions, I will join the logistics support team to accept the trial!"

"I'm serious, Instructor Han! Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I agree with your plan." Yue Chuanshan said immediately after hearing this.

Are you kidding me?Our No. 11 Regiment has finally arrived. How can you, an artillery master like you, be willing to drive you back?

"Instructor Han, just go ahead and do it boldly! I ordered the entire artillery company to cooperate with your actions. If you kill the little devil's artillery, I will give you credit!"

"Yes! Captain!"
-
Both yesterday and today I wrote [-] words. I didn’t expect to be so busy after I came back. I was so busy that I forgot to exchange my leave note last month. My full attendance and encouragement were all gone. I cried to death.

I’ll try to update as much as possible these days, thank you!

Ask for a wave of monthly tickets at the beginning of the month!
