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

Chapter 227

The Jinsui army is not good at hand-to-hand combat, so Chen Ziyun specially made detailed arrangements for this.

When each squad broke through the position, the machine gun team provided cover behind, and the exposed Japanese and puppet troops directly launched bursts of fire.

The squad leader equipped with a submachine gun commanded the three rifle teams to advance, and when they encountered the Japanese and puppet troops, they fired.

After the nine riflemen encountered the Japanese and puppet troops, they did not immediately start fighting, but aimed and fired.

After firing the bullets, a group of three fought against the Japanese and puppet troops, maintaining the superiority in strength.

More and more soldiers from the three core companies rushed into the trenches, and the sound of Jinzao submachine guns firing one after another.

Many little devils with bayonets installed and ready to fight were instantly smashed into sieves by bullets.

A major commander of the Japanese army commanding the battle at the front line had a solemn expression on his face.

He hurriedly commanded the troops to launch an attack, trying to completely repel the three core companies.

But now that a large number of soldiers are rushing over, the Japanese and puppet troops are somewhat overwhelmed.

In particular, the Japanese and puppet troops on the first line of defensive positions responded to the three core companies with all their strength, and were unable to intercept the advance of follow-up troops.

The second battalion, third battalion, and fourth battalion follow-up troops accelerated towards the position.

The three battalion commanders personally commanded, and more and more soldiers rushed into the trench.

A squad leader held a Jin-made submachine gun and fired continuously, and the dense bullets hit the little devil one after another.

The Japanese and puppet troops had no way to resist at all, and their casualties and losses were increasing.

At 09:30, the commander of the Japanese Army Major was forced to issue an evacuation order.

For more than 500 days, the puppet army abandoned their positions in embarrassment and moved quickly to the rear.

Of course, while they were evacuating, the battalions launched fire, and many Japanese and puppet soldiers were hit by bullets instantly and fell directly into a pool of blood.

The Japanese artillery in Douluo town started shelling. They had four howitzers made in Liao Dynasty and three Japanese mountain cannons.

A round of grenades hit the front line one after another, and the 358 regiment was suppressed by artillery, so they stopped shooting and quickly took cover.

But soon, Chen Ziyun personally commanded the artillery unit to fight back.

The Field Artillery Battalion, Artillery Battalion and other troops fired one after another, and the artillerymen of the little devil quickly calmed down.

At 45 minutes, Chu Yunfei commanded the 358th regiment to take down the first line of defensive positions west of Douluo Town.

The little devils stationed here paid more than 600 casualties, and only more than [-] people safely retreated to the outer positions of Douluo Town.

It was at this time that Li Yunlong commanded the Xinyi Regiment to attack from the east.

More than a thousand troops secretly approached the positions of the Japanese and puppet troops, and the two sides fought fiercely.

The Japanese and puppet troops in Douluo Town were flanked by the east and west sides, and they fought very passively.

Here at the Little Devils Brigade Headquarters in the town, Major General Mitake Tsuda, head of the brigade, has a serious face.

The staff marked it on the map. At this time, they were in a very dangerous situation and might be annihilated at any time.

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, even if we deploy our troops to defend the outer positions with all our strength, it is difficult to block the attack of the Jinsui army."

"Although we have 23 artillery pieces, the Jinsui Army still has the advantage in the number of artillery pieces."

"They concentrated all their artillery for combat, and their artillery has strong combat capabilities, which can completely suppress our artillery."

"The frontline position west of Douluo Town has been lost, and there are only about [-] troops retreating to the outer positions."

"Counting the defensive troops in our town, the troops that can be mobilized here will not exceed 2000."

"East of Douluo Town, the Eighth Route Army is still conducting offensive operations. We have almost no extra troops to guard the positions in the north and south regions."

Staff Major came to Tsuda Mitake and said with a serious expression on his face.

The previous battle for supplies caused the Japanese and puppet troops to pay hundreds of casualties.

Along with the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army, they gathered in the east and west areas of Douluo Town.

Tsuda Mitake deployed about a thousand Japanese and puppet troops to the west, east, and town respectively.

This is their last combat force, and the other eight armored vehicles are hidden and on standby.

These troops rely on artillery for defense, and are prepared to hold their positions and kill the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army as much as possible.

But the Independent 48th Brigade gathered all the artillery together, and the infantry commander Chen Ziyun personally commanded it.

These artillery effectively supported the troops' attack operations, causing the first-line defensive positions to be captured instantly.

Of the more than [-] Japanese and puppet troops in the western position, only about [-] have been beaten.

With this amount of troops, it is obviously very difficult to defend the western position of Douluo Town and block the troops of the Jinsui Army.

"They did not attack from all sides, but concentrated their forces on the east and west, and the purpose was obvious."

"The Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army tried in vain to force us to leave Douluo Town, so as to launch field and mobile warfare to destroy us."

"It doesn't matter whether we break out to the north or the south, this is a trap!"

"We must not be fooled!"

Tsuda Mitake looked at the map, and he said with a serious face.

After all, he is also the head of the Major General's brigade, and he has also commanded the troops for many years of combat, so he is somewhat capable.

He saw Chen Ziyun's plan and forced them to leave, thus launching an annihilation campaign.

So Tsuda Mitake directly gave up the idea of ​​breaking out, and he set his target on the Eighth Route Army in the east.

You must know that the little devil still has some trump cards in his hand, Mitake Tsuda intends to tear the hole from the east side, so as to seize the initiative in the battle!

Immediately afterwards, at [-]:[-], Mitake Tsuda issued a combat order.

Eight armored vehicles, under the cover of night, quickly headed east.

One after another, the cannons also began to turn their muzzles!
The little devil's gas mask immediately gathered towards the Japanese and puppet troops in the east, and assigned it to them for use.

At ten o'clock in the evening, as Mitake Tsuda issued a combat order, the Japanese and puppet troops immediately launched operations.

The first to start the battle was the Japanese Artillery Unit, under the command of the Zhongzuo Artillery Captain.

Sixteen 75MM field guns, four 100MM howitzers, and three 75MM mountain guns launched intensive shelling.

They didn't worry about wasting shells at all, and one after another grenade hit the east.

In an instant, dense shells fell on the new team, and deafening explosions followed one after another.

Gunpowder smoke began to fill the battlefield, countless dust was flying, and countless shrapnel quickly spread towards the surroundings.

While the Japanese artillery was firing, the Japanese grenadiers on the front line east of Douluo Town started firing gas bombs.

Of course, this is the gas bomb that stimulates tears, the deadly gas bomb, they have already shot out.

As the poisonous gas spread, eight [-]-type armored vehicles took the lead in attacking, and the light and heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles launched a fire attack.

Thousand-day puppet troops wore gas masks one after another, and followed the armored vehicles to attack.

Li Yunlong's new regiment was caught off guard, they never expected that the little devil would launch such a counterattack.

Many soldiers have been recruited one after another, their eyes kept weeping, and they completely lost their combat ability.

Especially after the little devil's armored vehicle attacked, the firepower of the new group could not bring any damage to the armored vehicle at all.

With a solemn expression, Li Yunlong quickly gave the order to retreat.

At this time, Chen Ziyun had already seen the battle situation in Douluo Town through a telescope.

When he saw the poison gas spread on the east side, he realized that the Japanese army had used poison gas bombs on the Xinyi regiment.

He quickly issued a combat order, and the artillery launched a fierce shelling.

At the same time, Sun Ming's guard company and Monk Wei's reconnaissance platoon were quickly dispatched by Chen Ziyun, and they launched an attack directly from the north.

Chu Yunfei also immediately adjusted his deployment. The 358 regiment continued to attack from the front, while the supplementary regiment detoured to the south to divert the attack.

All the main forces of the Independent 48th Brigade were dispatched, and they began to attack the Japanese and puppet troops.

Fierce gunfire rang out, and the more than [-] Japanese and puppet troops in the outlying positions west of Douluo Town were under great pressure.

At 10:30, the outer positions on the west side were breached, and the troops from both sides fought fiercely together.

The Japanese artillery in the city hurriedly turned their guns, trying to suppress the attack of the 358th regiment.

It's just that these artillery positions were gradually locked by Chen Ziyun.

Six 75MM field guns and six 77MM field guns continued to bombard the Japanese artillery positions.

At fifty o'clock, the supplementary regiment began to fight the Japanese and puppet troops in the town from the south side.

Tsuda Mitake commanded the main force in the town to strengthen the defense on the south side to prevent it from being breached.

In addition, he mobilized [-] days of puppet troops and rushed to the west to help them, in an attempt to hold the outer positions in the west.

But at this time, the guard company and the reconnaissance platoon began to infiltrate from the north side.

These two troops have strong combat effectiveness, they continued to carry out combat strikes, and the Japanese and puppet troops suffered heavy casualties.

By eleven o'clock, the more than 100 Japanese puppet troops defending on the north side were easily resolved by them.

Monk Wei scouted the platoon and entered the town first to fight.

After the sound of guns and guns appeared in the town, Mitake Tsuda's face was full of solemnity.

"All the troops quickly withdrew towards the east, and at the same time contacted the artillery unit to transfer the artillery that could be taken away, and blow up all the artillery that could not be taken away."

"Remember one thing, the artillery must be blown up, and these artillery must not fall into the hands of the Jinsui army!"

"Before blowing up the artillery, fire all the corresponding shells towards the west!"

"Carry out cover bombardment on the western outlying positions, and ignore the accidental injury to your own people."

After Tsuda Mitake pondered for a long time, he began to give orders.

Immediately afterwards, he began to take the lead in moving to the east, directly meeting with the eastern troops.

The artillery unit fired shells immediately, and they didn't care whether they would accidentally injure their own people.

After firing the shells, they were the first to blow up the four howitzers that could not be taken away.

The eight Liao-made field guns were lighter in weight and easier to carry, so they were taken away directly.

Not to mention the three mountain cannons, they were also taken away directly.

Of the remaining eight Japanese-style artillery, the little devil only took four of them, and the remaining four were also blown up.

The Japanese and puppet troops in the town moved quickly to the east. Of course, they were still hit during the transfer.

After Chu Yunfei found out that the little devil's troops had moved, he decisively issued a combat order.

The 11th Reserve Regiment also began to attack. They detoured from the north side, preparing to cut off the little devils' troops.

The battle here in Douluo Town became a bit chaotic, but Tsuda Mitake finally led his troops to break through and did not stand still.

Of course, if he insisted on holding on, then with the strength of the guard company and the reconnaissance platoon, he might behead them.

At two o'clock in the morning on September 11, Wu Ziqiang's [-]th Preparatory Regiment took the lead in entering Douluo Town.

At this time, the fighting in Douluo Town and the west side basically stopped. After some fighting, the Independent 48th Brigade wiped out more than 300 Japanese and puppet troops.

However, about 2000 Japanese and puppet troops quickly repelled the new regiment from the east and quickly moved to the north.

However, these transferred troops were intercepted by Ding Weixin's regiment and Kong Jie's independent regiment.

And after the new regiment was repelled, Li Yunlong quickly organized his troops, with more than a thousand troops, and quickly pursued the Japanese and puppet troops.

The troops of both sides fought fiercely in the northeast direction of Douluo Town, causing casualties to each other.

The little devils didn't have any gas bombs at this time, and the only thing they could rely on was eight armored vehicles.

However, it is still very difficult for the nearly 2000 infantry and artillery units to rely on eight armored vehicles to break out.

What's more, Chu Yunfei is also actively deploying, and the combat orders are quickly conveyed.

Chen Ziyun commanded the 358th regiment to quickly launch an attack from the west to attack the Japanese troops.

Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui's supplementary regiment quickly advanced to the county seat to undertake the defense of Xinxian County and prevent the Japanese army from fleeing northward.

Wu Ziqiang prepared the 11th regiment, and he was stationed in Douluo Town as the reserve team.

All the ministries resumed their proper formation for combat, and the brigade headquarters was directly under the cavalry battalion, which was quickly transferred back from Xinkou Town.

After all, the cavalry battalion can be of great use when the Japanese and puppet troops break out of the encirclement.

At 02:30, Chen Ziyun commanded the 358th regiment to the battlefield.

At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops were still fighting fiercely with the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army, and the fighting between the two sides was very fierce.

Of course, there are about [-] Japanese and puppet troops. They also have [-] field artillery pieces, [-] mountain artillery pieces, and [-] armored vehicles.

Such strength is still very strong, but the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment do not have many heavy weapons.

They blocked the Japanese and puppet troops and were under great pressure.

Chen Ziyun could see that these two regiments were almost in a state of being defeated at any time.

As for Li Yunlong's new regiment, which was fighting on the south side, they continued to attack, but the little devils were clearly targeting them.

The four armored vehicles continued to maneuver and shoot, continuing to suppress the new regiment.

The 13MM heavy machine gun and the Type [-] light machine gun shot out tongues of flame one after another.

Li Yunlong had no countermeasures and was always suppressed.

While fighting fiercely with the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese and puppet troops quickly moved north.

After Chen Ziyun saw this situation, he immediately issued a combat order.

"Sun Xiong, in command of six Type [-] mountain artillery, assigned to the Seventh Battalion to advance northward, block their way northward."

"The second battalion built a position on the spot and immediately launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops."

"The third battalion and the fourth battalion launched an attack formation, and quickly attacked the Japanese and puppet troops."

"Li Yang, command the six Bofors cannons and kill the little devil's armored vehicle!"

"Monk Wei, the reconnaissance platoon is assembled and ready to attack."

With a serious expression on Chen Ziyun's face, he decisively issued a combat order.
