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

Chapter 221
"Baga Road, block their attacks, we can't let them continue to break through."

"They are gradually advancing towards us. If they continue to advance, our position will be torn apart."

"The machine gun squadron opened fire with full force and knocked them back."

In the southeast area of ​​Xinxian County, in a dilapidated house, the captain of the Third Field Infantry Battalion, Major Commander, roared angrily.

At this time, a semi-underground bunker was dug out of the house, and the brigade headquarters of the third brigade was established here.

As Chen Ziyun adjusted his combat deployment, the 358 regiment assumed the main attack mission, and they continued to attack.

The third battalion of the field infantry is under greater pressure, and now their combat strength is less than 600.

Moreover, facing the attack from three sides, it was difficult for them to deal with it. The guard company attacking from the north side continued to advance in depth.

Captain Shao Zuo could only mobilize the machine gun squadron to intercept with all his strength, but if the battle continued, the machine gun squadron would also suffer relatively large casualties.

"Your Excellency, Captain, each of our four infantry squadrons has an average of only 100 people."

"The machine gun squadron suffered heavy casualties, and there are only seven heavy machine guns that can continue to fight."

"The only one that maintains a full manpower is the 100 people in the transport squadron."

"Your Excellency, Captain, according to the current statistics, the Jinsui Army has invested three infantry battalions with more than 2000 troops to attack from three sides."

"The north is their main direction of attack. The troops here are fighting fiercely. It is difficult for us to block their attacks."

A lieutenant in the brigade headquarters hesitated, bit the bullet and came over to report.

The two little devil brigades defending south of the county seat adopted a strategy of spreading and sticking.

However, Chen Ziyun took the lead in using the center breakthrough to divide the two brigades into two, making it impossible for them to cooperate with each other.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ziyun personally commanded the 358 regiment to move to the east side, and fought against the third battalion of field infantry with all its strength.

The Japanese troops were deployed in units of units (squads) in different areas for defense.

These units are equipped with light machine guns, rifles, and have strong defensive capabilities.

At the same time, each of their squads is responsible for the defense of an area. Each squad has three infantry units and a grenadier unit to defend in depth.

Each team is in contact with each other to form a perfect defensive position.

The squads of the little devils are like strong firepower points.

Each squad connects these firepower points together, and the various squads can carry out effective cooperative operations.

And between each squadron, heavy machine guns will also be deployed to connect, ensuring that the position has almost no defensive loopholes.

In defensive operations, the Japanese army adopted more cunning combat tactics.

When the attacking troops advance to 500 meters, they will use the grenades to launch precise strikes.

When the attacking troops disperse and advance within 400 meters, their special shooters will use the [-]-type rifle to launch precise shooting.

When it reaches 200 meters, it is the peak firepower range of the Japanese army. They will gather rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and grenades to shoot.

Another point is that the little devil will not take the initiative to countercharge.

Even if the Jinsui army rushed to within 50 meters of the position, they would only throw grenades.

But once a soldier rushes into the position, when the two sides face each other, the little devil will quickly start a hand-to-hand battle.

In this case, at such a close range, before many soldiers had time to pull the trigger, the little devil had already stabbed him.

Their defensive tactics are very targeted, suppressing the firepower advantage of the Jinsui Army as much as possible.

Previously, the 11th regiment was prepared and the supplementary regiment attacked several times, but they failed to achieve results because of changes in the Japanese defense tactics.

After Chen Ziyun came over, he took advantage of his strength and attracted the attention of the Japanese army to the main positions on the east and west sides.

Their junction is very empty, so the 358 regiment can easily break through and cut the little devil directly.

After attacking the third battalion of field infantry, Chen Ziyun adjusted his combat tactics again.

In view of the characteristics of the Japanese defense, Chen Ziyun adopted a head-on approach.

The guard company continued to serve as the main attack, the squad was against the unit, the platoon was against the squad, and the company was against the squadron.

In terms of attack tactics, Chen Ziyun adopted core company tactics.

The guard company is the core company, responsible for the main attack, and the other battalions are fully covering.

After Sun Ming commanded the guard company to launch an attack, the little devil obviously couldn't stand it.

Each squad of the guard company has one light machine gun, six rifles, and four submachine guns.

When breaking through the defense of the Japanese detachment, they used the cover of night to shorten the attack distance as much as possible.

After being discovered, the light machine gun suppressed the Japanese army, and the two rifle groups advanced rapidly.

Within the range, the six rifles assisted the machine gun team to suppress and cover the advance of the assault team.

Under the cover of light machine guns and rifles, the four soldiers of the assault group will quickly approach the position, and then directly launch more fierce fire suppression.

Facing the light machine guns and rifles of the Japanese troops with such firepower, they completely have an advantage.

After each group gradually advances, the assault group will undertake the main assault task.

They want to get close to the position and start suppressing fire, while the rifle team advances quickly and throws grenades directly.

After the grenade exploded, the assault team and the rifle team entered the position at the same time to start the attack.

Under such blows, many little devils were either killed by light machine guns or submachine guns.

Anyway, most of the little devils were beaten into sieves by bullets!

The little devils lost more and more, and they could hardly intercept the breakthrough of the guard company.

The captain of the major brigade was full of seriousness. The number of heavy machine guns in the machine gun squadron was obviously insufficient, and he had no good solution for a while.

At around four o'clock in the morning, the Major Commander of the Third Field Infantry Battalion was forced to join the transport squadron.

A hundred supply soldiers joined the battlefield with rifles in hand, strengthening the defense to the north.

But at this time, Chen Ziyun also adopted the strategy of increasing troops.

Chu Yu's Seventh Battalion began to attack from the east from the junction.

By five o'clock, there were only about 400 combat troops left in the third battalion of the field infantry.

What they faced was blows from all directions.

To the east, there were seven battalions; to the west, there were two battalions; to the south, there were three battalions.

The north is the main direction of attack. There are four battalions here, the guard company, the artillery battalion, and the field artillery battalion!
The battle had progressed to such an extent that the artillerymen did not need any cover-fire tactics at all.

The six Type [-] mountain guns directly launched flat fire, shelling the exposed firepower points of the Japanese army.

The various ministries continued to attack fiercely, and the little devils retreated steadily. Although they stood firm and resisted, they suffered heavy casualties in the face of such a blow.

"Captain, we... We were completely fooled, and the Jinsui army launched attacks from all directions."

"They keep oppressing us and shrinking our defensive area."

"Now our ministries simply cannot cooperate with each other, and all the troops are under tremendous pressure."

"The commander of the Jinsui Army is very cunning. He completely broke our perfect defensive position."

In the brigade headquarters of the third infantry brigade, the lieutenant ran over in a panic and reported.

The captain of the Shao Zuo brigade sat weakly on the chair, his face gradually turned pale.

Now he can figure it out, the previous three-sided attack, the west and south were containment, and the front was a fierce attack.

After Captain Shaozuo mobilized the transport squadron, the eastern troops quickly attacked.

The overall defense of the Japanese army was hit everywhere, and naturally they could not cooperate effectively in combat.

Originally they were an integrated defense, but they were attacked from all sides, and they completely became a scattered defense.

It's like the little devil was fighting the 358 regiment with one fist!
However, under Chen Ziyun's command, the 358 regiment directly broke the little devil's fist into five fingers.

But now, Chen Ziyun was cutting off the little devil's fingers one by one.

"How could the Jinsui Army have such a capable regiment-level officer? Could it be that Chu Yunfei personally commanded the battle?"

"No, the previous attack strategy of the Jinsui Army completely echoed the characteristics of Chu Yunfei's command."

"The commanding operation now is completely different from the previous attack strategy."

"We have detailed information on officers above the Jinsui Army Corps, who is this person!"

Captain Shao Zuo frowned tightly, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

He had to admit that the opponent's command ability was completely beyond the imagination of the Japanese army.

The intelligence agencies of the Japanese army are very powerful, and they all have a list of officers above the Jinsui Army.

They are very clear about the resumes of these officers, but such a formidable officer surprised Captain Shao Zuo very much.

Of course, the little devil would never have dreamed that Chen Ziyun was a human being in two lifetimes, and everything he mastered was beyond what they could have imagined.

"Bang bang bang."

At this moment, gunshots began to be heard outside.

Immediately afterwards, a grenade hit the house without any warning.

With the sound of the explosion, the house was filled with gunpowder smoke and dust.

However, the grenades were only fired by small-caliber mortars, and their power was limited. The Japanese brigade headquarters was a semi-underground bunker.

After the shelling ceased, Major Battalion Commander took out the Nambu pistol.

The five orderlies also hurriedly picked up their weapons and rushed out quickly.

It's just that the five orderlies were hit by bullets as soon as they went out, and were killed on the spot.

"Boom boom boom."

When Captain Shao Zuo heard footsteps outside, he had no time to react.

One after another, grenades were thrown from the outside. The grenades fell into the house, and there was an explosion.

With the help of the smoke and dust generated by the explosion of the grenade, a commando came here quickly.

They held Czech-style semi-automatic rifles, and when they saw the little devil, they decisively pulled the trigger and shot.

Before the captain of Shao Zuo could react, a 7.92mm bullet hit his forehead directly and was killed on the spot.

The ones who came here to fight were naturally Monk Wei's reconnaissance platoon.

At six o'clock in the morning, the brigade headquarters of the third field infantry brigade was destroyed, and the captain of the major brigade was shot dead.

With the death of the captain of the Shao Zuo brigade, it was only a matter of time before the few little devils left in the third brigade were completely wiped out.

The 358th regiment continued to fight, the number of little devils on the east side dropped sharply, and the gunfire gradually became sparse.

It was at this time, south of Xin County, here in Douluo Town.

Mitake Tsuda had already received a telegram from the First Army Command, and he was also preparing to quickly command Douluozhen's Japanese and puppet troops to quickly break out of the encirclement.

They currently have more than 2000 troops and have a strong artillery force.

In Tsuda Mitake's view, with such a large number of troops, as long as they receive reinforcements, they can easily break through the siege of the Eight Routes.

"The Army Command has organized reinforcements to gather in Yangqu. They will come here soon and get in touch with us."

"Then we were able to quickly break through to the south and escape from the encirclement of the Eighth Road. As long as we leave Xin County, we will be completely safe."

"Warriors, be prepared to break through. Once we encounter an attack from the eight directions during the breakout, we will deal them a heavy blow."

Tsuda Mitake immediately assembled all the officers of the Japanese and puppet army, and he said with a serious expression on his face.

The Japanese and puppet troops in Douluo Town began preparations to break out of the siege, and at eight o'clock in the morning, the Yangqu reinforcements also started to set off.

Under the cover of 2000 armored vehicles, [-] Japanese and puppet troops gradually advanced towards Douluo Town.

At this time, Li Yunlong had already contacted Brigadier Chen through the radio, and he also obtained unified command.

The New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and the New Second Regiment currently have more than 4000 troops.

Of course, there is still a big gap between the three regiments in terms of overall weaponry and military strength.

The Xinyi Regiment has the strongest overall strength. They currently have a strength of nearly 2000 people.

The regiment directly has two infantry artillery, two mountain artillery, two field artillery, four 82MM mortars, and about two hundred cavalry troops.

Light machine guns were equipped to each squad, and each platoon also had three grenade launchers.

The number of heavy machine guns in each battalion continues to increase. At present, the regiment has eighteen Type [-] heavy machine guns!

The independent regiment and the new second regiment can only equip each squad with light machine guns at present.

As for other weapons and equipment, there is still a big lack.

In addition, in terms of ammunition, they are also lacking and need a new regiment to replenish.

After Li Yunlong got the unified command of the three regiments to fight, Ding Wei and Kong Jie immediately ran over to ask for ammunition.

Lao Li also seized a lot of ammunition in the battle in Xinkou Town. Looking at the two old comrades in arms, he gave some of them.

"Old Ding, Lao Kong, that is to say, we have been comrades in arms for many years. If it were someone else, would you still want to ask me for ammunition?"

"It's not bad if I don't ask for some weapons and ammunition for you. Look at my old Li. When did you ask for ammunition with the brigade commander?"

"Furthermore, it's just temporarily commanding you to fight, and it doesn't mean that you are completely assigned to our old Li's command."

"And even if there is no order from the brigade commander, what if I command you to fight? Who of you can compare with our old Li?"

If Li Yunlong doesn't take advantage, he will suffer. Even if he is an old comrade in arms, he still feels distressed when the ammunition is given out.

So he cursed and said, his eyes were as big as copper bells.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie didn't take it seriously at all. How could they not know Lao Li's character.

It would be nice to be able to ask him for some ammunition. As for what Lao Li said, they wouldn't care.

"Leader, urgent information sent by local personnel in Yangqu."

"More than 2000 days ago, the puppet army began to come towards us, and they were equipped with armored vehicles."

At this time, the committee member Zhao Gang quickly came to Li Yunlong and reported.
