Chapter 153 Captured Five Type [-] Mountain Cannons

The first battalion of the mountain artillery and the second battalion of the infantry were attacked from the north and the south, and their situation was precarious, and their positions would be breached at any time.

After hearing the news, Harada Colonel inevitably showed a serious expression on his face.

This time, the guard company of the Jinsui Army launched an attack from the north side, and the [-]st Battalion of the Eighth Route New Regiment launched an attack from the south side.

They completely caught the Japanese army off guard, so that they had no chance to react at all.

In particular, Li Yang, the commander of the first company of the Artillery Battalion Mountain Cannon, personally commanded two Liao-made field cannons, and continued to carry out long-range support shelling.

The Japanese army was hit hard one after another, and its own casualties continued to increase.

Colonel Harada knew very well that if reinforcements could not be quickly dispatched to support the battle, all the precious Type [-] mountain artillery would be threatened.

You must know that the little devil has limited resources and attaches great importance to artillery. If you lose or lose artillery in battle, you will be severely held accountable.

"I really didn't expect that they would join forces to fight together, let alone that they would have such an elite force!"

"The Eighth Route Army has always been very difficult to deal with, and after they seized a large number of weapons and equipment, their combat effectiveness has continued to improve. The First Army is simply their transport team!"

"The Jinsui army is equipped with excellent weapons and equipment. At this time, their combat capabilities have been improved, and they have strong combat effectiveness. They are also a very difficult opponent."

"The First Army can be said to be the sharpening stone of the Jinsui Army. It has continuously made the Jinsui Army grow stronger. The consequences of this series are unimaginable."

"Order, the third brigade will gradually get rid of the Jinsui army's harassment in Suohe Town, and quickly withdraw to the mountain artillery position."

"Order, the first brigade, the artillery brigade give up the search mission, and immediately rush to the rescue of the mountain artillery position!"

"Continue to contact the Sato detachment and ask them to deploy troops to investigate and see if there are still Eighth Route troops in the Xin County area."

"If the Eighth Route Army is not found in the Xin County area, let them approach us quickly."

Colonel Harada gave combat orders with a complex expression, and he began to gather the main force of the detachment at the Mountain Artillery Regiment.

As for the mission of the Jinsui Army to search and intercept the military column, Harada Dazuo completely gave up.

For him, keeping the mountain artillery unit is the most important thing now.

Orders began to be conveyed one after another, and the various brigades of the Japanese army who received the telegrams desperately marched towards the mountain artillery position.

Here, Chen Ziyun continued to command [-] troops to carry out raids and harassment operations, restraining the third brigade and preventing them from withdrawing to the mountain artillery position.

At the same time, he handed over the command to the two company commanders who led the battle, and he quickly returned to the Suohe Town area.

After arriving here in Suohe Town, Chen Ziyun immediately got in touch with the Artillery Battalion.

The six Bofors cannons began to move forward, also joining in the bombardment.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, six mountain artillery and two field artillery continued to bombard.

One after another, as if they didn't need money, they shot towards the position of the first battalion of the Japanese Army's Mountain Artillery.

It was at this time that Zhang Dabiao's first battalion and company had already dealt with more than 100 Japanese troops in the security position on the west side.

They quickly attacked from the west. For a while, the Japanese artillery positions were attacked on three sides, and they were constantly hit by long-range artillery.

A round of grenades landed on the position one after another, a deafening explosion sounded, and the shrapnel quickly spread around.

At seven o'clock, Chu Yu commanded the guard company to rush into the position.

The submachine gun combat teams of each class advanced rapidly, and the soldiers armed with Jin-made submachine guns continued to shoot.

The dense bullets hit the exposed little devils, and many little devils were instantly beaten into meat sieves.

Groups of riflemen were in different positions, holding the captured Japanese [-]-type rifles and pulling the triggers one after another.

A round of bullets hit the Japanese army with precision, and a little devil was shot to the point and fell directly into a pool of blood.

"Papa papa." A Jin-made Czech-style light machine gun fired bursts not far away.

These machine gun shooters accurately hit the exposed Japanese soldiers, and many Japanese soldiers were directly shot and killed by light machine gun bullets.

The Japanese position showed signs of collapse. Although its infantry and artillery fought desperately to defend, they were unable to intercept the northern troops.

Chu Yu commanded the troops to advance quickly, heading straight for the Japanese mountain artillery.

"Baga Road, stop them, you must stop them, and you must not let them get close to the artillery."

"The heavy machine guns fired, and the infantry rushed over to start hand-to-hand combat with them. These Jinsui troops are not good at hand-to-hand combat."

"Arm the artillery unit, no matter what, the Jinsui Army cannot get close to our mountain artillery."

"Move quickly, we must intercept them, and our reinforcements will rush over immediately."

The two major captains of the First Brigade of the Mountain Artillery and the Second Brigade of the Infantry continued to issue orders.

They were afraid that the Type [-] mountain artillery would be threatened, so they desperately asked the various ministries to ensure the safety of these mountain artillery.

However, the overall weapons and equipment of the guard company are excellent, and the combat effectiveness of the troops is strong.

And after several battles, there is close cooperation between the officers and soldiers.

The Type 81 heavy machine guns of the Machine Gun Squadron were just about to start shooting, and the [-]MM mortars and Type [-] infantry guns covering in the distance fired successively.

A grenade landed precisely on the heavy machine gun ambush, and countless shrapnel spread rapidly.

The little devil's heavy machine gun shooter, deputy shooter, ammunition man and other personnel fell directly in a pool of blood.

"We failed to bring back the four field guns last time. Battalion Commander Liang has a lot of opinions on our guard company."

"I didn't say anything this time. I have to bring them back a few mountain cannons anyway. The leader of the platoon will seize the little devil's mountain cannons immediately."

"The leader of the second platoon, assist the first platoon to prepare for the transportation of the mountain cannon, and the third and fourth platoons will provide cover and suppress the Japanese army."

The company commander of the guard company held a submachine gun, and he fired while giving combat orders.

At this time, the Japanese army's mountain artillery position was in chaos, the northern position was breached, and their defense system was disrupted.

The little devil had to deal with not only the guard company troops rushing into the position, but also Zhang Dabiao's first battalion troops on the south and west sides.

Whether it is the Jinsui Army or the Eighth Route Army, they are hard stubble for the little devil.

In particular, the guard company's machine gun platoon continued to shell, and they launched an attack desperately.

Heavy machine gun bullets, infantry artillery, and mortar shells were all given for free, and they fired desperately.

For a while, the artillery position of the mountain was here, and the sound of fierce guns continued to sound.

Thick gunpowder smoke was everywhere, and of course there were many little devils who fell in a pool of blood one after another.

At around 07:30 in the morning, more than 100 soldiers from the first battalion of Zhang Dabiao on the west side began to break through.

Holding a big knife, the company commander rushed into the mountain artillery position with his troops, and directly started hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army.

At this time, the Japanese army already had five [-]-style mountain artillery, which fell directly into the hands of the guard company.

"The leader of the first platoon, the leader of the second platoon, stop as soon as you see it, and immediately withdraw with the mountain artillery, the third and fourth platoons, and the machine gun platoon to cover."

Seeing this scene, Chu Yu decisively issued a battle order.

It was at this time that the artillery brigade, the first infantry brigade of the Harada detachment, had rushed to the vicinity of the mountain artillery position.

A [-]-type mountain cannon under the Artillery Brigade has been quickly assembled, and they are ready for shelling.

The first battalion of infantry launched an attack formation and quickly advanced towards the mountain artillery position.

Chen Ziyun, who was in command of the battle in Suohe Town, immediately issued a battle order.

Wu Ziqiang commanded the [-]th Battalion of the Independent Infantry, and immediately attacked to divert and attack the [-]st Battalion of the Japanese Infantry and other troops, and supported the withdrawal of the guard company.

Shi Yuframe commanded the Sixth Battalion of the Independent Infantry, and quickly attacked to respond to the withdrawal of the guard company.

The Artillery Battalion is fully suppressing the Artillery Brigade to prevent its subordinate [-]-type mountain artillery from shelling.

In addition, Chen Ziyun also immediately dispatched messengers to directly contact Zhang Dabiao's [-]st Battalion, which was fighting on the south side, to explain the relevant situation.

Now it's time to accept it as soon as it's good, otherwise wait until the Japanese army's first and third brigades withdraw.

Then the guard company, Zhang Dabiao's first battalion, will be flanked by internal and external attacks, which may lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

The artillery battalion quickly changed the target here, and the eight artillery shelled the Japanese troops in the northwest direction.

The two battalion commanders Wu Ziqiang and Shi Yujian did not dare to delay, and quickly commanded the troops to launch an attack.

At eight o'clock, the guard company and Zhang Dabiao's first battalion gave up attacking the mountain artillery positions one after another, and they gradually left the battlefield.

Of course, when these troops withdrew from the battlefield, they were still hit by Japanese artillery and suffered certain casualties.

At nine o'clock, Zhang Dabiao's first battalion was the first to withdraw from the battlefield. They went south and began to make peace with the main force commanded by Li Yunlong.

At 09:30, the guard company withdrew to the area of ​​Suohe Town. This time they directly seized five [-]-style mountain artillery!
Looking at the [-]-style mountain cannons being dragged back by mules and horses, Chen Ziyun's face was full of joy.

The Japanese Army's Type [-] Mountain Cannon is definitely an artillery with excellent performance.

Five [-]-style mountain cannons, six Bofors mountain cannons, and these eleven mountain cannons can fully build up the powerful artillery support capabilities of the artillery battalion.

Coupled with two Liao-made 14-type field guns, the overall combat effectiveness of the independent 48th Brigade can be improved several levels!

At this time, Wu Ziqiang's battalion and Shi Yuzhen's battalion were withdrawing one after another, and the [-] veterans who harassed the Japanese third brigade also began to get new tasks.

After Chen Ziyun learned about the situation of the cavalry company from the guard company, he ordered Chu Yu to command the guard company and these veterans to quickly detour towards the south.

They need to quickly respond to the cavalry company's troops and let them retreat safely to Suohe Town.

After all, the cavalry company transported a large amount of trophies, and these trophies could not be destroyed by the Japanese army.

Moreover, they detoured towards the south, and they were likely to encounter Li Yunlong's troops.

Others don't know about Li Yunlong's temper, but how can he, Chen Ziyun, not understand?
In the original play, Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui in Lijia Town mutinied, and Lao Li commanded the troops to rescue Chu Yunfei, but took away the weapons and equipment of a battalion of 2000 people!
Who knows if Li Yunlong saw so many trophies at this time, would he say that I don't want to do free part-time jobs, and just take the trophies away.

If this batch of spoils were robbed by Li Yunlong, it would definitely be harder for Chen Ziyun to come back.

Chu Yu commanded the troops to set off quickly, and at this time the little devil's troops launched a crazy revenge bombardment.

Ten [-]-type mountain cannons of the Artillery Brigade, and six [-]-type mountain cannons of the First Brigade of the Mountain Artillery Brigade continued their shelling.

It is worth mentioning that the two brigades currently only have [-] artillery pieces left.

Of their 24 mountain cannons, three were destroyed and five were seized. The loss was not small.

The angry little devil artillery bombarded Suohe town one after another, and a large number of shells continued to hit.

Chen Ziyun arranged for the troops to hide, but as for the artillery battalion, they did not fight back.

Because of the continuous fighting, the artillery battalion has always been the main force of the defense.

Although they are not fighting at the forefront, their continuous artillery support plays a decisive role.

And the constant shelling caused them to consume a lot of shells.

Of the eight cannons, there are only one hundred shells left, and the average number of cannons is less than twenty.

And there are a certain number of armor-piercing shells in these shells.

So Chen Ziyun chose to bear it at this time and let the little devil go to bombard him.

After all, they occupy a high ground, as long as they hide on the reverse slope, the bombardment of the little devils will not pose much threat to them.

The Japanese troops continued to shell, until after ten o'clock, they began to carry out extended shelling.

At eleven o'clock, the little devil stopped shelling, and all the troops of the Harada detachment began to garrison in the area east of the position of the first artillery brigade of the mountain.

Several major captains were downcast one by one. After all, they have suffered different casualties and losses since the battle till now.

It was at this time that Chu Yu commanded the guard company and other troops to join forces with the cavalry company.

After a brief greeting, the group transported a large amount of loot and quickly retreated towards the Suohe Town area.

They are currently in the Xin County area, so Li Yunlong quickly discovered this army.

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up when he saw many Jinsui troops and the common people transporting a large amount of spoils, and almost salivated.

Especially when he saw the artillery being dragged, Li Yunlong was even more excited.

But seeing that the Jinsui Army has hundreds of troops, and is equipped with many submachine guns, light machine guns, and cavalry troops, Li Yunlong stood obediently.

"They got rich again this time, what a pity, we have no chance."

"Da Biao, you are not up to the mark. After fighting for so long, you haven't captured a single mountain cannon."

"If you get a few mountain cannons for them, I will have a reason here. Look, there are so many spoils."

"Their Jinsui military family has a great career, and they are not short of this. Unfortunately, there is no chance now."

Li Yunlong put down the binoculars, looked at Zhang Dabiao beside him, and kept complaining.

If Zhang Dabiao got a few mountain cannons for the Jinsui army, Lao Li could still find an excuse not to work part-time for free.

But now, the guard company has seized five mountain cannons by itself, and Li Yunlong can only watch helplessly as a large number of spoils are transported away from him.

"Regimental Commander, our regiment has a lot of weapons and equipment, and the weapons and ammunition are not bad." Zhang Dabiao said bluntly.

"If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive!"

"Tell you, there is no shortage of weapons and ammunition in our new regiment."

"Although we have a lot of weapons and equipment now, but when the brigade commander calls back, we have to obediently send some of them over."

When Li Yunlong heard this, he became even more angry, and said with staring eyes.
