Chapter 125 Pursuing the Japanese Brigade Commander

At this time, Chu Yunfei began to personally command the troops to fight. The five infantry battalions assembled about [-] troops and divided them into three groups to attack the Japanese troops.

Even though Koichi Mori directed the artillery to continue the shelling, their artillery could not completely intercept the advance of these troops.

More importantly, after several days and nights of fighting, the ammunition of the Japanese artillery unit was in a hurry.

They don't have many shells left, and if they keep shelling, they may all be fired.

Once these shells are completely fired, the artillery will naturally be useless.

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, at present, we obviously have insufficient shells left. If we continue to shell, I am afraid that we will run out of shells in a short time."

"At present, the Jinsui Army's attacking forces are relatively scattered. Can we temporarily stop shooting and look for a suitable opportunity to start shelling again."

Koichi Mori quickly got in touch with the brigade department, and he asked with a serious expression on his face.

Even though Katayama Shotaro was unwilling, he also knew that if the shells ran out, the artillery would not have any combat capability.

After pondering for a long time, he still agreed to let the artillery units temporarily stop shelling.

The Japanese artillery could no longer continue shelling, and a large number of Jinsui troops seized the opportunity and continued to advance towards the positions of the Japanese and puppet troops.

At about 358:[-], the [-] regiment began to exchange fire with the puppet army.

Four hundred puppet troops stood firm and tried to resist tenaciously, but they were obviously not the opponents of the Jinsui Army.

More than 100 Japanese cavalry began to participate in the battle, and they attacked directly.

These cavalry used the mobility of the horses to disperse their operations and shoot directly on the horses.

A series of [-]-style rifles fired one after another. The Japanese cavalry had strong combat effectiveness, and their shooting caused certain casualties to the Jinsui Army.

At the same time, Koichi Mori seized the opportunity, and he arranged mortars for support operations.

Once the Jinsui Army concentrates light and heavy machine guns on the cavalry to shoot, a 90MM mortar will fire immediately.

The Japanese artillery did not have many shells, so now they are very accurate, and they can almost hit the target with one shot.

The 358th regiment and the Japanese and puppet troops temporarily fought a war of attrition, and both sides suffered casualties.

However, when the battle lasted until twelve noon, the situation on the battlefield changed a lot.

Li Yunlong commanded the first battalion of the Xinyi Regiment to rush out from the north side, and they began to attack the Japanese troops attacking Yangcun.

At this time, the combat strength of this group of little devils was only more than [-] people, and they were attacked on three sides.

If he wanted to evacuate towards the back, he would be intercepted by ten mountain cannons from the Chen Ziyun Artillery Battalion.

Under such circumstances, they are very passive in combat, and these little devils can only adopt a strategy of standing still.

But Chu Yu commanded the guard company, and Zhang Wu commanded the cavalry company to attack from the south.

Li Yunlong personally commanded Zhang Dabiao's [-]st Battalion to attack from the north, and Ding Wei's troops gradually pressed over from the east.

The troops on three sides launched combat strikes at the same time, and the casualties of the little devils continued to increase.

They were under tremendous pressure at this time, if it weren't for them, there would still be a certain number of heavy machine guns following the battle.

So given the current situation of the Japanese army, they must be annihilated.

"Baga Road, the main forces of the Eighth Route Army have all returned, and we have been attacked from three sides by the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army."

"On the south side of us are the elite units of the Jinsui Army. They have strong individual combat capabilities and are equipped with a large number of automatic weapons."

"We have an elite eight-way army on the north side. These eight-way weapons are well-equipped and have super combat effectiveness."

"The flanking operations on both sides of the north and the south will definitely bring us a devastating blow, not to mention that we still have more than 1000 Eighth Route troops on the east side."

"And if we want to retreat to the west, we will be attacked by the artillery units of the Jinsui Army!"

"The current combat situation is very unfavorable to us. Immediately contact the brigade and regiment headquarters and ask for tactical guidance."

The Japanese commander in charge of the battle had a serious expression on his face. At this time, he had already smelled danger.

He hurriedly called the communications soldier and immediately arranged for the power generation.

At the same time, he asked the little devil to stay in place with all his strength, so as to block the attacks of the troops from three sides.

At the Japanese brigade and regiment headquarters, there was already a little confusion at this time.

The staff members began to burn some important documents, and the communications soldiers also gathered the code books together, ready to burn them at any time.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the 100 puppet troops have already paid more than [-] casualties, and they will be completely defeated at any time."

"Currently the main combat force is our artillery team, mortar brigade and cavalry team."

"It's just that the cavalry has only a few dozen combat troops, and the artillery is about to run out of shells."

"The troops attacking Yangcun had a combat strength of more than [-] people. They were attacked by the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army."

"And the artillery units of the Jinsui Army continued to shell them, and it was difficult for them to withdraw to their positions."

"Now... now we need to draw up a transfer plan, otherwise... otherwise we may all be smashed!"

The chief of staff of the brigade, with a serious expression on his face, came to Shotaro Katayama and reported immediately.

At this time, if it were not for the Japanese cavalry and artillery units to fight desperately, the main force of the 358th regiment might directly break through the defense of the position.

Now the Japanese army has assembled a large number of 90MM mortars, 75MM mountain artillery, and field artillery to repeatedly shell.

Especially the four [-]-modified field guns and the four Liao-made field guns continued to bombard.

They also didn't care about the number of shells. What these Japanese artillery can do is to quickly fire shells and intercept the 358th regiment from approaching the battlefield.

Katayama Shotaro had a serious expression on his face. Looking at all the armed orderlies and other non-combatants, he couldn't help but took a deep breath.

Immediately afterwards, he called the communications soldiers and asked them to continue to contact the army headquarters.

Then Katayama Shotaro began to take out his Nambu pistol and wipe it carefully for inspection.

The Little Devil Nanfang pistol, commonly known as the bastard shell, is a pistol with an extremely high failure rate.

Obviously, Katayama Shoutaro had already made the worst plan at this time.

"The Li Yunlong Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route of Yangcun has a strong overall combat capability. They are one of the few troops that can fight us in positional warfare."

"It's really hard to imagine that there will be such a unit in the Eighth Route Army. Their performance is really unbelievable."

"Of course, the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army we are facing is even more heterogeneous. The Jinsui Army does not have such troops at all."

"Their artillery concept is very advanced, and they have super actual combat capabilities. This unit is really terrifying."

"Chu Yunfei is from the Whampoa Department, so under his command, there must be officers with German education."

"If the 358 regiment can't be dealt with as soon as possible, sooner or later they will become the confidant of our first army!"

Katayama Shotaro looked outside, and he said in a solemn tone.

Of course, the troops under his command have already suffered serious losses at this time, and it is still unknown to them whether they can keep the troops.

The fierce battle is still going on. The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army in the Yangcun area, the Eighth Route New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment continued to attack.

The two sides fought repeatedly, and the battle once reached a fever pitch.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Ziyun began to assemble his carefully organized commando, cavalry, and artillery teams.

"Sun Xiong, do you see it? There is an antenna, and it is very likely that the Japanese military command is located there."

"At present, the main force of the regiment is almost about to break through their position. Your artillery team will start shelling immediately."

"The two Jin orogenic cannons launched effective fire, first fired [-] shells, and then moved quickly to avoid retaliation by Japanese artillery."

"Assault team, cavalry team, your target is also the Japanese command organization."

"After the artillery team started shooting, you pushed forward with all your strength towards the Japanese commanding authority, trying to fight over."

"Currently fighting with us is the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army. Your task is to find their brigade commander and kill him directly!"

After Chen Ziyun assembled his troops, he directly stated his battle plan with a serious expression on his face.

And he will personally command the commando and cavalry to fight, thus killing Katayama Shotaro, the head of the little devil brigade.

At around [-]:[-], Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to start operations.

It was at this time that the main forces of the 358th regiment had begun to break into the positions of the Japanese and puppet troops.

At this time, less than 100 of the [-] puppet troops were beaten. Dozens of people watched the Jinsui army charge over, and they chose to surrender without the slightest hesitation.

In fact, if it were not for the coercion of the Japanese army, these puppet troops would have no idea of ​​​​resistance at all.

It's just that there are little devils supervising the battle behind them. If they evacuate, the Japanese army will shoot them to death immediately.

So these puppet troops can only bite the bullet and fight, but now seeing the Jinsui army attacking, they put down their weapons without hesitation.

The puppet army wanted to surrender, but the red-eyed Jinsui army would never give them this chance.

The squad leaders holding submachine guns directly pulled the trigger, and dense bullets shot at the puppet soldiers, and a puppet soldier was instantly smashed into a sieve.

After capturing the defensive position, the soldiers continued to charge forward.

But at this time, the Japanese artillery units responded immediately, and they dispersed the artillery.

At the same time, the transport soldiers and heavy soldiers in the original artillery force were armed one after another.

These soldiers follow a mountain artillery, field artillery, and mortar to fight alone.

Koichi Mori completely dispersed the artillery units to build firepower points one by one.

These firepower points are mainly artillery, with a certain number of armed soldiers and other soldiers for protection.

When the soldiers of the 358th regiment rushed through the trenches and prepared to advance in depth, these artillery shelled one after another.

At the same time, a small number of light and heavy machine guns also started firing to intercept the soldiers.

"Boom boom boom."

"Clap clap clap."

"Da da da."

The Japanese troops began to fight desperately, and they relied on these firepower points for heavy shooting.

A large number of bullets and shells hit the soldiers, and many soldiers were attacked as soon as they jumped out of the trenches.

"Suppress them, absolutely do not allow them to pass through the trenches."

"The artillery unit fired all the shells and took up their rifles and fired."

"We will do our best to kill them. Even if we are completely annihilated, the Jinsui army will have to pay heavy casualties."

"The brigade department has already started the transfer, and we need to give the brigade department enough time for the transfer."

Mori Muhengyi and other officers roared loudly, and they urged the Japanese troops to fight desperately.

At this time, Major General Katayama Shotaro, head of the brigade of the Japanese army, had already moved quickly under the cover of dozens of little devils.

Of course, the artillery team commanded by Sun Xiong, two Jin orogenic cannons completed the shelling.

However, the Japanese brigade and regiment headquarters must be reinforced, so this shelling has brought a certain degree of blow to the brigade and regiment headquarters.

However, the head of the brigade, Katayama Shotaro, who was under key protection, was not harmed in the slightest.

And they used the smoke and dust generated by the shelling to quickly transfer in an attempt to break out.

It's just that these little devils don't know that Chen Ziyun has already led the troops and quickly moved towards them.

With a "boom", a grenade hit directly without any warning.

The grenade fell near the team, and even though the two soldiers of the commando responded, there were still casualties.

"Yingzuo, the observation team fired a signal flare."

At this moment, a soldier shouted at Chen Ziyun.

The commando team has members quickly approaching the wounded and began to treat them.

Chen Ziyun raised his binoculars and looked directly in the direction of the signal flare.

Soon, some observers made a sign of the roc spreading its wings.

Chen Ziyun looked carefully, and then he raised his binoculars to search the position.

Not long after, dozens of little devils appeared in the sight of his telescope.

"Northwest of the Japanese Army Command, 800 meters away!"

"Monk Wei, rush over with the assault team, the head of the little devil brigade wants to run!"

"Contact the cavalry and let them pass through the flanks. No matter what, they can't let them run away."

Chen Ziyun put down the binoculars and shouted loudly.

And as his voice fell, the sound of cannons sounded in the distance, and shells fired towards the front of the commando.

This is Sun Xiong commanding two Jin orogenic cannons to start shooting, and their target is a Japanese firepower point.

There are more than a dozen little devils deployed here, and they have a 90MM mortar.

The grenade just now was also fired by this mortar.

Of course, Chen Ziyun was also a bit lucky, there was only the last grenade left in this mortar.

Otherwise, if the mortar continues to bombard, Chen Ziyun's troops will definitely suffer casualties.

As two grenades fell on the Japanese firepower point, there was an explosion.

Monk Wei charged forward with a Jin-made submachine gun in his hand.

Seven soldiers followed closely behind him, and these soldiers also carried Jin-made submachine guns.

The ten soldiers were scattered in different areas, aiming with their rifles.

At the firepower point, there were a few little devils holding rifles and wanting to shoot, but they were quickly called out one by one by these riflemen and were killed directly.

Monk Wei has led people to the firepower point, and with the firing of Jinzao submachine guns, all the little devils here have been eliminated.

The commando quickly advanced, and Chen Ziyun was also in action.

They quickly pursued the troops of Katayama Shotaro, the head of the little devil brigade, and were about to kill him completely.

It was at this time that the Artillery Battalion of the 358th Regiment began to receive orders from Chu Yunfei.

Four Jin Mountain Cannons and six Bofors Mountain Cannons directly suppressed and fired at the firepower points of the Japanese and puppet army positions.

The battalion commanders of each battalion also came to the front line one after another, commanding their troops to launch a quick attack.

Groups of troops quickly advanced towards the firepower point, dense gunshots sounded, and the little devils at the firepower point were killed one after another.
