People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 143 Defeating the Sato Detachment
"Shoot, shoot quickly, this time we must teach these idiots a lesson!"

"Recently, the battlefield in Jin Province has really changed a lot. Not only the hateful Jinsui Army dared to attack us."

"Right now, even those who don't even have many rifles have the guts to attack us."

"Heavy bombardment, let these locals know how powerful our imperial troops are."

Here at the Japanese artillery position, the captain of the second lieutenant of the infantry artillery squad brandished a saber and shouted loudly.

The artillerymen were ordered, and without the slightest hesitation, they fired shells one after another.

Not far from the two infantry artillery, there is a field artillery position.

Four 75-type [-]MM field guns were also shelling, and the two artillery positions were full of empty shell casings.

While the Japanese artillery units were shelling hard, Chu Yu commanded the guard company troops to attack quickly.

Four infantry platoons were dispatched, and a machine gun platoon quickly established a position.

Two 81MM mortars are ready for shelling, and two heavy machine guns are also advancing secretly, approaching the artillery position.

Twelve infantry squads, four grenadier squads began to appear in different positions.

Following Chu Yu's order to attack, the machine gun platoon opened fire first.

Two 81mm mortars and two heavy machine guns focused their fire on the field artillery squadron.

A grenade fell one after another, and with the sound of explosions, the Japanese artillery was blasted to pieces.

A large number of 7.7MM bullets were fired, and many little devil artillerymen were beaten to pieces.

"Everything."

One grenadier after another began to shoot, and the grenades fell one after another.

Accompanied by the sound of the explosion, Chu Yu personally commanded the six infantry squads in the first row and the second row, and quickly approached the field artillery squadron position.

Dozens of soldiers advanced rapidly, and with different distances from the Japanese artillery positions, the light machine guns of each squad began to stop.

The squad leader commanded the light machine guns to cover, and the soldiers in each squad were divided into three combat groups.

A submachine gun group, two infantry groups, they alternately cover and advance.

"Clap clap clap."

Some Japanese artillerymen reacted, and some of them held rifles and wanted to intercept them.

But before these little devils had a chance to pull the trigger, they were shot precisely by the Jin-made light machine gun.

A round of bullets were fired, and these bullets hit the Japanese soldiers with precision, and a little devil was directly thrown to the ground.

The three combat teams under each squad jumped forward alternately, covering each other, and there were light machine guns behind them for support.

After each squad advanced to the designated position, they began to hide on the spot and focused their fire on the Japanese artillery positions.

Each infantry squad can quickly form a cover, and they continue to shorten the attack distance.

At the same time, the third row and the fourth row adopted the same strategy and quickly advanced towards the infantry artillery position.

There are not many people in the infantry artillery position of the little devil, and the two platoons have an absolute advantage.

"Squadron leader, it's not good. A large number of elite Jinsui troops are less than 100 meters away from our position. They are about to fight over."

"We...we can't stop them from approaching at all. The Eighth Battalion of the Independent Infantry is fighting fiercely with the Eight Route Army, and they can't rush to help quickly."

"Now are we going to quickly destroy the field artillery and quickly move towards the infantry position?"

At the position of the Field Artillery Squadron, a little devil came to the Captain of the Captain in a panic.

The squadron leader of the captain raised his binoculars to observe, with a solemn expression on his face.

He just opened his mouth to give an order, but dense heavy machine gun bullets hit him.

This is the machine gun platoon of the guard company firing, and the squad leader with a heavy machine gun found the squadron leader of the Japanese lieutenant through the binoculars.

Under the command of the squad leader, the shooter controlled the captured Japanese [-] heavy machine gun to start shooting.

Seven or eight rounds of 7.7MM bullets hit the captain of the captain, who was killed on the spot.

After the squadron leader of the captain was killed, there was a brief confusion in the Japanese artillery unit.

But soon a lieutenant took command, and he ordered the artillery to quickly destroy the field guns and then move quickly.

However, the little devils artillery started their operations, but they were hit by intensive firepower.

Groups of soldiers with submachine guns have rushed to the field artillery positions, and they started shooting with Jin-made submachine guns.

Intensive bullets hit, and the little devil artillerymen were shot and killed one after another.

At the same time, a large number of riflemen have advanced to a position less than 50 meters away from the position. These riflemen are holding Japanese [-] rifles and shooting one after another.

A series of 6.5MM bullets were fired one after another, and a little devil artilleryman was hit in the vital point and fell directly into a pool of blood.

The more than 200 troops of the guard company have already entered the elite level after Chen Ziyun's training and continuous actual combat.

Among other things, within 200 meters, they still have a strong strike capability.

The Field Artillery Squadron's position was immediately contributed. Facing a large number of submachine gunners, the Little Devil Artillery was completely a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

It was at this time that the third and fourth platoons also successfully broke into the infantry artillery position.

The elite guard company, facing the Japanese artillery unit, this is simply a one-sided massacre!

After receiving the report, Sato Nakazusa, who was in command of the field artillery brigade here, hurriedly raised his binoculars to observe.

When he saw a large number of Jinsui troops rushing into the artillery position with submachine guns, he couldn't help but gasped.

"Baga Road, how can there be Jinsui Army troops in the east? They...they didn't gather in the highland area of ​​Suohe Town."

"Asshole, we are completely fooled. Their purpose is to disperse our troops and create opportunities for these troops."

"Contact the Field Artillery Brigade immediately..."

Nakazu Sato had a flustered expression on his face. He wanted to arrange for the remaining eight field cannons of the field artillery brigade to start shelling and attack the guard company.

It's just that he didn't even have time to give the order, and a little devil second lieutenant ran in in a panic.

"Your Excellency, the detachment leader, it's not good. We found a large number of cavalry troops from the Jinsui Army in the north. There are about 200 of them."

"The cavalry of the Jinsui Army dispersed and advanced towards our artillery positions. The Field Artillery Brigade asked for instructions whether to start shelling them immediately."

"Your Excellency, the detachment leader, these cavalry are attacking very fast and are very scattered. Even if the field artillery brigade starts shelling, it may not be able to stop their attack."

The second lieutenant came in front of Lieutenant Sato and said with a panicked expression on his face.

After Sato Zhongzuo heard such a report, he froze in place for a while.

He shook a few times and almost fell to the ground.

"Contact the Sixth and Seventh Battalions of the Independent Infantry and ask them to deploy a machine gun squadron, and the infantry artillery squadron will quickly intercept the northern cavalry."

"At the same time, the grenades immediately fired smoke grenades, and the main force of the brigade quickly withdrew and quickly approached the artillery position."

"The Field Artillery Battalion launched shelling to contain the advance of the cavalry on the northern side, and at the same time armed all their armed personnel for defense."

"Contact the Eighth Battalion of the Independent Infantry, and they will also withdraw to build a defensive position with the artillery position as the core."

With a serious expression on his face, Nakazu Sato gave the order decisively.

"Hi, Your Excellency the detachment leader." The second lieutenant hurriedly agreed.

The Japanese army sent out one after another combat order, and the field artillery brigade began to concentrate on dealing with the cavalry company on the north side.

At this time, Zhang Wu commanded a cavalry company of 200 troops, and quickly rushed towards the field artillery position.

Of course, their forces are very scattered, and they will not concentrate their charge, otherwise, they will definitely become living targets.

Not long after, a series of [-]-type field guns began shelling.

A grenade hit, and the cavalry company suffered casualties.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Wu ordered the troops to disperse more, so as to avoid greater losses.

Of course, the purpose of the cavalry company's move is not to destroy the field artillery positions, after all, they are cavalry troops.

At this time, they launched a charge, nothing more than to contain the Japanese troops and cooperate with other directions to fight.

At around nine o'clock, a field artillery squadron and an infantry artillery squadron deployed by the Sato detachment to fight on the south side were all wiped out by the guard company.

After solving these artillery units, the guard company quickly launched an attack towards the rear of the Eighth Battalion of the Independent Infantry.

At this time, the suppression of the six artillery pieces was lost, and Li Yunlong commanded the troops to attack at full speed.

Hundreds of little devils were flanked back and forth, and they became very passive in combat.

"Hehehe, Da Biao, do you see that this Jinsui army is probably commanded by Chen Ziyun?"

"Their most elite guard company troops have come to help us fight again."

"Rush over quickly, we must completely annihilate this army of little devils, and we must not let them run away until the fat is on our lips."

"It's a pity, a few artillery pieces will become the spoils of the Jinsui Army."

Li Yunlong said with a regretful expression on his face. At this time, he directly charged towards the Japanese army's position with a big knife in his hand.

The four 90mm mortars behind the cover operation lost their threat. Under the command of Wang Chengzhu, they launched shelling one after another.

A round of grenades continued to hit the Japanese machine gun squadron, and the Japanese heavy machine guns began to be suppressed.

The guard company also launched an attack here, and the casualties of the Eighth Battalion of the Independent Infantry continued to increase.

By 09:30, its position began to be breached, and the two forces came together in a melee.

The guard company launched a round of shooting, and after killing hundreds of little devils, they began to withdraw from the battlefield.

When they left, they only took away two infantry guns and related shells, but not other weapons.

Li Yunlong saw this move in his eyes, and he yelled at Zhang Dabiao crazily.

Zhang Dabiao killed Xing Xing with a big knife, but after hearing Lao Li's order, he quickly arranged for the troops to advance towards the field artillery position.

At this time, the remaining strength of the Eighth Brigade of the Independent Infantry was less than 500 people. Facing the attack of the superior Eighth Route Army, they were very passive in combat.

Especially after the hand-to-hand combat, Zhang Dabiao's first battalion has many fighters who use broadswords.

The heads of these little devils were cut off one after another, each of them was terrified, and their morale was severely hit.

It was at this time that the Sixth and Seventh Battalions of the Independent Infantry began to transfer, and they quickly retreated.

The grenades of each team continuously fired smoke bombs to cover the transfer of troops.

However, under the guidance of the observation team, the artillery battalion continued to launch shelling.

Dense shells hit the little devil one after another. When they were retreating, they were constantly shelled, and the loss was not small.

As for the [-]-day puppet army in Suohe Town, after they saw the main force evacuate, the captain in charge of the squadron hurriedly began to direct the troops to evacuate.

Now he has seen that the main force of the Sato detachment has been hit, and the operations of various departments are very chaotic.

Captain Lieutenant knew that if his troops stayed here, they would be completely alone.

It's just that it is not a simple matter for the five hundred day puppet army to evacuate.

The Fifth Battalion of Wu Ziqiang's Independent Infantry and the Sixth Battalion of Shi Yujia's Independent Infantry began to flank them from both sides.

Six infantry companies and two machine gun companies continued to attack, and the five hundred Japanese and puppet troops who left Suohe Town were hit.

In the blink of an eye, its casualties and losses exceeded 100 people.

By ten o'clock, the Japanese and puppet troops had suffered more than 200 casualties, and the captain of the Lieutenant Squadron was forced to give up the breakout and retreat to Suohe Town again.

At this time, less than 300 people were beaten by the Eighth Battalion of Independent Infantry defending Li Yunlong's troops on the south side.

It's only a matter of time before the remaining little devils are completely wiped out.

The cavalry company and the guard company did not attack for the time being, because the main force of the Sato detachment would be together.

The cavalry company left quickly. After all, if the Japanese army's light and heavy machine guns and other weapons were to focus their fire, they would deal a great blow to them.

The cavalry is tall and big, and the target is too obvious.

As for the guard company troops, they were scattered on the south side, waiting for the opportunity to move.

"Your Excellency, Captain, we now only have the Sixth and Seventh Battalions of the Independent Infantry, the Field Artillery Battalion, and one Cavalry Squadron."

"Currently, we only have more than 2000 combat troops left, and successive battles cost us at least 2000 losses."

"The Harada detachment is about to arrive here. Before that, we quickly withdraw towards the railway to avoid greater casualties."

"Otherwise, once the Eighth Route troops on the south side and the Jinsui Army troops on the west side jointly attack, we may suffer greater losses."

A military officer came to the Sato detachment, and they said solemnly with serious expressions on their faces.

At this time, all the departments of the Japanese army had already suffered heavy casualties, and it was only a matter of time before the Eighth Battalion of the Independent Infantry was wiped out.

The remaining more than 2000 of them are all troops, including artillery and other troops.

At this time, even if they started to defend on the spot, the joint attack of the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route would bring them casualties.

After Lieutenant Sato received the report, he frowned, with a resigned expression on his face.

However, considering the current situation, Sato Nakazu still issued an order to retreat.

More than 2000 little devils quickly fled towards the eastern railway. They were completely defeated.

After Chen Ziyun saw the little devils retreating, he ignored them, but directly commanded the troops to encircle and wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops in Suohe Town.

The artillery began shelling, and two infantry battalions began to attack the town.

Fierce gunfire rang out, and the more than 200-day puppet army in Suohe Town was no match for Chen Ziyun's main force at all.

Time passed gradually, and after eleven o'clock, the battlefield returned to silence.

At this time, whether it was Chen Ziyun's army or Li Yunlong's army, they had completely eliminated the Japanese and puppet troops in front of them.
