Chapter 111 Joint Encirclement and Annihilation of the Fujita Brigade (for Subscription)

The night was dark, and it was already past two o'clock in the morning.

On the positions of the Japanese and puppet troops, they were independently mixed into the headquarters of the Fourth Brigade.

Major General Shotaro Katayama stood in front of the map, his face was ashen, his hands clenched tightly, and his eyes were full of killing intent.

The Jinsui Army's counterattack brought them a lot of casualties. The main force formed by it was flanked during the advance and suffered another casualty loss.

The five independent infantry brigades under the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade currently have only a total of more than [-] troops capable of continuing operations.

If the losses of the Fujita Brigade, Artillery Brigade and other units are counted, the casualties of the Japanese army alone have exceeded 2000.

Since the battle so far, the total casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops are more than 4000 people. Such a loss is naturally unacceptable to Shotaro Katayama.

"Who is commanding the battle? This person is very cunning!"

"He has superb commanding skills and is good at conducting multi-arms joint operations."

"It's unbelievable how there is such a terrible opponent in the Jinsui Army."

"Chu Yunfei has certain abilities, but in comparison, this person is even scarier than Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong!"

Katayama Shotaro's face was gloomy, and he spoke slowly.

After seeing Chen Ziyun's excellent commanding ability, Katayama Shotaro was very afraid.

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, should we immediately stop the attack and withdraw the troops to defend?"

"According to the current situation, the Jinsui Army's counterattack force has hundreds of people, and the overall weapons and equipment are well equipped and have strong combat capabilities."

"And their artillery has the ability to strike accurately. If our troops continue to counterattack, I am afraid they will pay casualties."

The Lieutenant Chief of Staff of the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade walked quickly, and he said with a worried face.

Katayama Shotaro frowned, and fell into deep thought for a while.

At this time, the various departments of the Japanese and puppet troops had suffered a lot of casualties. If the fighting stopped like this, he would definitely not be able to explain to all parties.

After thinking for a while, Katayama Shotaro began to issue combat orders.

He assembled the machine gun brigade and the mortar brigade in the middle to conduct containment operations, and suppressed the counterattack troops commanded by Chen Ziyun at the forward starting position.

The Fujita Brigade detoured from the west, and the 14th and 15th Brigades were detoured from the east.

Nearly 2000 Japanese troops pierced through from both sides, cut off the retreat path of Chen Ziyun's troops, and blocked them at the starting position.

At the same time, the Koichi Mori Artillery Corps will also launch support shelling to ensure that this unit is intercepted and returned to the 358th regiment's position.

Katayama Shotaro intends to trap Chen Ziyun's troops in the forward starting position first, and wait until dawn to gather all the troops to eat them.

After solving this group of Jinsui Army troops, the Japanese and puppet troops can concentrate all their troops and continue to carry out combat strikes against the 358 regiment positions.

As far as the little devils are concerned, no matter what happens now, they will not allow the counterattack troops commanded by Chen Ziyun to withdraw safely.

These Jinsui troops are the fat on their lips, and the Japanese army wants to eat them in one bite.

Katayama Shotaro pointed to the map and issued a combat order. The Chief of Staff of the Zhongzuo did not dare to delay, and immediately conveyed the order.

The little devil's ministries immediately mobilized, and the machine gun brigade and the mortar brigade immediately set up positions from the middle.

It didn't take long for the machine gun positions and mortar positions to be constructed.

One after another, the flares also began to hit the forward starting position.

As the flares lifted off, the dark night was as bright as day.

There are 32 heavy machine guns in the machine gun position, and [-] mortars in the mortar position, paying close attention to the starting position.

Once the Jinsui army here shows signs of evacuation, these heavy weapons will quickly launch violent fire to suppress them to death.

The Japanese troops on the east and west sides accelerated and moved towards the flanks, preparing to block the evacuation route of Chen Ziyun's troops.

At present, Chen Ziyun has commanded the guard company to withdraw to the starting position, and he ordered all the ministries to enter the position and prepare for defense.

At the same time, the troops of the guard company gathered on standby toward the east to keep their troops back to the main position.

Chen Ziyun has gained a lot from the night attack and counterattack.

However, Chen Ziyun didn't intend to withdraw immediately. After all, the casualties of the various ministries have not been heavy since the battle so far, and they still have the ability to continue fighting.

Moreover, the current overall defense of the Japanese and puppet troops has been disrupted, which is a good time to deal a blow to their combat power.

"Chen Tuanfu, our guard company has made a fortune this time."

"The machine gun platoon can be expanded into a machine gun company. There are four heavy machine guns and four mortars. Unfortunately, the shells for the mortars are gone."

"However, there are still a lot of bullets on the heavy machine gun. As long as the little devils come over, it will be enough for them to drink a pot."

The company commander of the guard company, Chu Yu, came in front of Chen Ziyun, and he said with an excited expression on his face.

After defeating the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army, the guard company has gained a lot.

At present, their machine gun platoon has two Japanese heavy machine guns, two 81 heavy machine guns and four Japanese [-]MM mortars.

The troops of the guard company have achieved successes one after another, and the morale of the troops is high.

The company commander Chu Yu admired Chen Ziyun so much!
"The little devils did not continue to attack directly, but their heavy weapons have already established a position."

"Obviously they're trying to overwhelm us and trap us here."

"Chu Yu, strengthen the security on the west side, and keep in touch with the cavalry company at the same time."

"One more thing, dig the traffic trench backwards and be ready to transfer at any time."

Chen Ziyun raised his binoculars to observe, and then immediately issued a combat order.

"Yes, Chen Tuanfu." Chu Yu immediately agreed.

The guard company began to deploy here, and the captured more than 200 puppet prisoners of war and the corresponding weapons and ammunition that had been captured had already been transferred.

When the troops continued to advance, they were escorted back by troops sent by the 358 regiment.

At present, there are only guard companies and cavalry companies in the forward starting position.

Of course, there are two artillery companies deployed on the high ground behind, and they can launch shelling under the guidance of the observation team at any time.

Time passed, and at around [-]:[-] in the morning, Chu Yu hurriedly came to Chen Ziyun to report.

On the west side, hundreds of Japanese troops quickly detoured and interspersed, preparing to push back toward the starting position, thus cutting off their retreat path.

After receiving this report, Chen Ziyun pondered for a while, and decisively issued an order to attack proactively.

Two submachine gun platoons and one rifle platoon were assigned to Chu Yu's command, and Chen Ziyun arranged for these troops to take an offensive to defeat the Japanese troops on the west side as much as possible.

Of course, when these three platoons launch an attack, they must be supported by the rear artillery.

At 03:30 in the morning, the Fujita brigade commanded more than 600 people to quickly intersperse and detour.

But they were directly hit by the three platoons commanded by Chu Yu, and the two sides started an encounter.

The rifle row has three light machine guns, and three grenadiers seize the favorable terrain and start shooting.

More than 30 rifles launched precise strikes, one round of bullets directly aimed at the little devil's machine gun shooter, and the grenadier shot over.

Hundreds of Jin-made shell guns and Jin-made submachine guns fired continuously.

A round of 11.43mm caliber bullets fell on the Japanese army one after another like rainstorms.

The Fujita brigade was caught off guard, and hundreds of little devils were killed or injured on the spot.

They didn't expect that the other party would launch an active attack on them!

Major Fujita immediately commanded the troops to counterattack. Two infantry artillery and eight heavy machine guns were quickly set up.

The light machine guns and grenades of each squadron launched a counterattack.

Fierce firepower hit the guard company troops, and the guard company also suffered casualties.

However, at the same time that the Fujita Brigade was fighting fiercely with the guard company, a round of shrapnel and grenades began to hit from the side and behind.

Immediately afterwards, dense bullets shot over without warning.

Japanese-style light and heavy machine guns concentrated fire, and more than a dozen machine guns formed a firepower net, covering the little devil in an instant.

A large number of little devils never thought that there would be an attack from the troops behind them, and they fell one after another in a pool of blood.

"Machine gun shooters, take it easy, don't run out of bullets for me."

"Zhuzi, don't fucking shoot, the infantry artillery only has a dozen rounds in total, you haven't finished your fucking yet!"

"Rifleman, it's okay to shoot me, it's okay if you run out of bullets!"

Li Yunlong's loud voice appeared again.

The first battalion, machine gun company, and artillery platoon were fully fired under his command.

The whereabouts of the Fujita brigade were locked by a new regiment of scouts. As their lone army detoured to the west, Li Yunlong decisively assembled troops to pursue them.

The guard company took the lead in attacking the Fujita Brigade, and Li Yunlong followed closely behind, for fear that he would not even be able to drink the soup.

For a while, the Fujita brigade was hit back and forth, and its casualties continued to increase, especially their heavy weapons, which were hit one after another, and they couldn't shoot at all.

I have to say that the new group brought out by Li Yunlong is really elite.

Whether it is a machine gun shooter or a rifleman, there are more accurate marksmanship.

After a large number of riflemen got Li Yunlong's order to shoot, they pulled the trigger one after another.

One bullet, it's like having eyes, hitting the little devil with precision!
Many riflemen can even bite meat with guns and guns. Their shooting made the Fujita brigade almost unable to fight back.

"Da Biao, see if those two infantry cannons are there, take a battery and grab them back for me!"

"Second company commander, gather the troops and come with me, hehehe, transport the heavy machine guns of our regiment back!"

"If all eight heavy machine guns are transported back, every battalion can have a fucking machine gun company."

After some shooting, Li Yunlong pinned the shell gun to his waist, drew out his broadsword, and directly issued an attack order.

The two infantry companies were commanded by Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao respectively, and they quickly rushed towards the Japanese heavy weapons.

The machine gun company, the artillery platoon, and the third infantry company continued to fire to provide them with cover.

At this time, the firepower of the Fujita Brigade was tightly suppressed, and their casualties had exceeded 300.

A large number of wounded fell to the ground and wailed in pain. This Japanese army has been annihilated at present.

If they can't react quickly, they will be completely annihilated at any time!
"Company commander, it's the Eighth Route Army!"

"They have already launched an attack, and this eight-way force is fierce!"

At this time, the Fujita Brigade was facing the front, and an officer had already come to Chu Yu to report.

Chu Yu raised his binoculars to observe, and he decisively issued an order to wipe out the battle.

At the same time, he contacted the communication soldier, and a red signal flare was fired directly towards the Fujita brigade!
