Chapter 252 The Field Artillery Battalion Headquarters Was Attacked

"Captain, the little devils are coming from the north. They have at least 2000 people and are equipped with a lot of heavy weapons!"

"There is no way for us to carry out any interception here. They have a lot of artillery."

"The fourth battalion machine gun company just started shooting and intercepting, and was hit by their artillery, and two heavy machine guns were destroyed on the spot."

"Captain, the little devil is getting closer and closer to the position, we... what can we do?"

At the position of the new second regiment, a cadre quickly came to the head of the regiment Ding Wei and reported.

Ding Wei raised his binoculars to observe the north side, his brows were slightly frowned, and his face showed a solemn expression.

At this time, about 2000 puppet troops on the front of the New Second Regiment continued to attack, and more than [-] Japanese troops stormed on the north side.

For them, the more than 2000 Japanese troops on the north side were a fatal threat.

They have twenty heavy machine guns, which can completely suppress the firepower of the new second regiment.

What's more, they also have four mountain cannons, four infantry cannons, and two rapid-fire cannons that can destroy any heavy weapons of the New Second Regiment.

"The fourth battalion and the fifth battalion are fully defending against the Japanese troops on the north side, and the sixth battalion is responsible for frontal defense."

"The regiment is directly under the infantry artillery, conducts operations on the move, and supports the battalions in defense."

"At the same time, immediately contact Brigadier Chu Yunfei to explain the situation here."

"They still have artillery units over there. If they can provide us with artillery support, we won't be so passive in combat."

Ding Wei had a solemn expression on his face, and he hurriedly gave an order.

Faced with such a blow, the new second regiment is almost difficult to parry.

But they can't evacuate directly, otherwise if they leave the battlefield, they will be completely exposed to the attack of the little devils after preparing for the side of the I2 regiment and the independent regiment.

What the New Second Regiment can do now is to stick to it with all their strength, and even if they suffer heavy losses, they cannot give up their positions.

The Japanese and puppet troops attacked in an all-round way, and the fierce fighting situation in the Yangcun area changed instantly.

At this time, if Chu Yunfei didn't personally sit in command here, it would definitely be completely messed up.

Qian Bojun and other talents will not sincerely support the eight-way battle, and I am afraid that they will flee the battlefield without authorization at critical times.

But Chu Yunfei is currently in command personally, and he can directly contact the battalions of the 12th Reserve Regiment to command them to fight.

Chu Yunfei quickly understood the situation that the new second regiment was facing.

"Brigade, this is still the usual method of the Japanese army, to contain the attack from the front, and the main force to attack from the flank."

"I'm afraid that even if the new second regiment is completely wiped out, it will be difficult to block the attack of more than 2000 little devils on the north side."

"Once their position is lost, the 12th Preparatory Regiment will be made dumplings by the Japanese and puppet troops."

"We have to fully support the New Second Regiment's operations, otherwise Yangcun's defense will be completely breached."

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong stood in front of the map and said with a serious expression on his face.

Chu Yunfei nodded, picked up the microphone, and directly contacted the Field Artillery Camp.

The current battalion commander of the Field Artillery Battalion is Zhou Wenbo, and his subordinates have six Liao-made 75mm field cannons and six Liao-made 77MM field cannons.

They have already set up a sheltered position, and Sun Yu's machine gun company is also deployed here in the field artillery battalion to undertake its defensive mission.

The brigade headquarters is behind the reserve 12th regiment, which is protected by a guard communication battalion.

"Commander Zhou, a large number of Japanese troops have appeared on the north side of the New Second Regiment, and they pose a greater threat to the New Second Regiment."

"All the Field Artillery Battalion launched a fire attack to support the new second regiment in defense."

"According to the current situation, although the Japanese and puppet troops have a certain number of artillery, they lack long-range artillery."

"You can give full play to your own advantages, fully support the new second regiment in operations, and ensure that the new second regiment can hold its ground."

After the phone call was made, Chu Yunfei directly gave the combat order with a serious expression on his face.

"Yes, Lu Zuo, please rest assured, we will definitely ensure that the new second regiment holds its ground."

Zhou Wenbo replied immediately after receiving the order.

Chu Yunfei put down the microphone, he was completely assured of the ability of the field artillery battalion.

Chu Yunfei knew very well that the artillery units trained by Chen Ziyun were all elites.

Ten minutes later, hundreds of little devils on the north side were less than 10 meters away from the new second regiment's position.

A large number of Japanese light machine guns and grenades continued to suppress and shoot.

A Japanese rifleman crawled forward and quickly approached the position.

However, at this moment, the twelve field artillery of the field artillery battalion began shelling immediately.

A grenade was fired towards the Japanese troops one after another.

"Boom boom boom."

Explosions sounded one after another, and scorching air waves quickly spread towards the surroundings, bringing up countless dust.

Dense shrapnel were flying, hitting the little devil's body continuously.

The deadly shock wave quickly shattered the internal organs of many Japanese soldiers.

Zhou Wenbo, the battalion commander of the Field Artillery Battalion, personally commanded them, and the artillery observation post set up on the front line provided them with precise coordinates.

Twelve field guns with detailed shooting parameter tables can launch shelling quickly and accurately.

A grenade, as if it had eyes, fell directly into the Japanese army.

Not long after, six 77MM field guns took advantage of their ultra-long range and began shelling the Japanese covering firepower.

According to data provided by artillery observation, six field guns fired.

The little devil's four [-]-type heavy machine guns were hit one after another and destroyed directly.

The two major commanders who commanded the battle froze in place, but they did not expect that the opponent still had such a powerful artillery unit hidden.

Seeing that the troops had paid the price of hundreds of deaths, the two major commanders immediately issued an order to disperse and hide and stop the attack.

At the same time, their heavy weapons were quickly transferred to avoid being shelled again.

"Baga, they still have artillery positions, and there is at least one battalion of these artillery."

"They are a field artillery unit, and they seem to have field artillery with a super long range."

"The artillerymen of the Jinsui Army are very cunning, immediately contact the detour troops, find them, and annihilate them."

"Contact the brigade department, report the situation here, and ask the brigade department to ask the Yamamoto special team for assistance."

"If we can't destroy their artillery unit, it will be difficult for us to launch an attack here."

The two majors had solemn faces and quickly issued combat orders.

The little devils on the north side temporarily stopped their attacks, fearing that they would continue to be shelled.

Major General Liu Shigeharu, head of the brigade of the Japanese Army, soon got the news. He also did not expect that the Jinsui Army had hidden artillery units.

Shigeharu Liuxia attached great importance to this, and he hurriedly contacted the Yamamoto Special Service Team, hoping that Kazuki Yamamoto could find a way to deal with these artillery units.

In addition, he immediately issued a combat order, and the Artillery Battalion of the Sixth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army began to be drawn out.

"The Ninth Battalion of the Independent Infantry, detour to the side and back, and find their artillery units to carry out an annihilation operation."

"The Tenth Battalion of the Independent Infantry, attached to the Artillery Battalion of the Imperial Association Army, is on standby on the north side. Once the artillery of the Jinsui Army is resolved, they will quickly attack from the north side."

"The Sixth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army maintains a containment attack on the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army from the front."

"Order all the ministries, this time we will launch an annihilation operation, so as to completely annihilate all the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army in the Yangcun area."

Shigeharu Liuxia received the report from the front line, and he discussed with the staff of the brigade and regiment department, and quickly drew up relevant plans.

At this time, their strategy was to contain the troops of the Imperial Association Army frontally, and a part of the Japanese and puppet troops were deployed on the north side and dispatched randomly.

At the same time, the Yamamoto Special Forces and a brigade of the Japanese army specially detoured towards the rear, looking for its artillery units to carry out annihilation operations.

The No. [-] Squadron of Independent Tanks under Shigeharu Liuxia also gradually made a detour towards the south to prevent these troops from fleeing the battlefield southward.

The Tenth Brigade of Armored Vehicles was under the control of Shigeharu Liuxia and directly served as the reserve team.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the position of the field artillery battalion was discovered, and the Ninth Battalion of the Japanese Independent Infantry began to advance here quickly.

Four infantry squadrons, one machine gun squadron, and one reinforced artillery squadron, more than 1000 little devils began to attack the field artillery battalion positions.

After battalion commander Zhou Wenbo discovered these little devil troops, he immediately mobilized six Liao-made 75MM field guns to bombard them.

The Japanese major who commanded the little devils to fight immediately dispersed the troops after seeing the troops being shelled.

Considering that the field artillery battalion would not have too many infantry defenses, the Japanese major gave up heavy weapons.

He asked four infantry squadrons to attack simultaneously on all sides to avoid field artillery strikes.

The machine gun squadron, the reinforced artillery squadron and other troops are all on guard towards the west to prevent reinforcements from rushing in here.

At the same time, the Japanese commander quickly contacted the Yamamoto special team by radio, detailing the location of the field artillery battalion, and requesting them to come quickly to join the battle.

Hundreds of little devil troops are advancing towards the field artillery camp in all directions, and now they want to break through the field artillery camp at all costs.

Despite the constant bombardment, they continued to advance.

It's just that these little devils don't know that at this time the field artillery battalion is here, and the machine gun battalion is responsible for protection.

Zhou Wenbo, the battalion commander of the Field Artillery Battalion, and Sun Yu, the battalion commander of the Machine Gun Battalion, quickly met.

The Japanese troops dispersed their troops and attacked at the same time in all directions, and the field artillery battalion was unable to carry out effective shelling.

After all, a grenade only kills one or two little devils, which is not worth the candle.

Zhou Wenbo and Sun Yu met to discuss, and the field artillery battalion began to block and shell the northern and southern devils to prevent them from advancing.

Little devils, let them move forward.

The machine gun battalion, under the deployment of the battalion commander Sun Yu, quickly strengthened the defense in the east and west directions.

The machine gun battalion currently has twelve Japanese Type 13 6.5MM heavy machine guns and twelve Type [-] [-]MM light machine guns.

In the east-west direction, Sun Yu deployed four heavy machine guns and four light machine guns for defense.

The transportation squads of each platoon of the field artillery battalion, the ammunition platoons of each company, and the supply company directly under the battalion also began to arm themselves to assist the machine gun battalion in defensive operations.

"Kill it, the artillery unit of the Jinsui Army is ahead. Warriors of the empire, rush to the artillery position and kill all the artillery units of the Jinsui Army."

"You have to know that this Jinsui Army artillery has dealt heavy blows to our First Army one after another. We will definitely be rewarded by the Army Command for annihilating them."

"The infantry of the Jinsui Army is not good at hand-to-hand combat, and the artillerymen of the Jinsui Army in front of them are completely lambs waiting for us to slaughter!"

"Kill it, our No. [-] Squadron must be the first to enter the artillery position of the Jinsui Army!"

The first and third squadrons of the Ninth Brigade of the Independent Infantry are responsible for the east-west attack of the field artillery battalion.

They have not received any shelling here, so the speed of advance is very fast.

More than 300 little devils approached quickly, and the two lieutenant squadron leaders looked at the field artillery battalion position close at hand, their faces were full of excitement.

The little devils heard the order of the captain of the squadron, and they accelerated their advance.

100 meters, 50 meters, 30 meters, at this time they are getting closer and closer to the position.

All the little devils showed excited expressions on their faces. They felt that as long as they rushed into the artillery position, it would be an abnormal slaughter.

The infantry of the Jinsui Army are not good at hand-to-hand combat, let alone these artillery.

The little devils' eyes showed a crazy killing intent, and they wanted to slaughter to their heart's content.

However, at this moment, light and heavy machine guns fired under the command of their respective company commanders, platoon leaders, and squad leaders.

The Type 13 [-]MM heavy machine guns fired one after another, and large-caliber bullets were fired directly.

The little devils who charged were hit by 13MM caliber bullets one after another, and fell into a pool of blood one by one.

Tens of meters away, the 13MM heavy machine gun, the bullet has a strong penetrating power.

Many bullets hit several little devils one after another, and these little devils were hit by large-caliber heavy machine guns at such a short distance, the result can be imagined.

Broken arms and stumps fell on the ground in all directions, and bloody scenes appeared on the battlefield.

Rao has rich combat experience and has seen many sides with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but shudder.

The No. [-] Squadron is an elite unit of the Ninth Brigade of the Independent Infantry, and the captain of the squadron, brandishing a saber, rushed to the front.

All three 13MM bullets hit his body and directly penetrated his body.

At this moment, the squadron leader of the lieutenant did not even leave a complete body, only blurred flesh and blood all over the ground.

Four 13MM heavy machine guns fired one after another, and the magazines of twenty rounds were repeatedly replaced.

The No. [-] Squadron was tightly suppressed, with dozens of casualties on the spot.

A grenadier reacted and wanted to launch a grenade to attack, but the four Type [-] light machine guns immediately launched precise bursts.

The Type [-] light machine gun equipped with a scope continuously fires bullets, and there are fifty bullets in the magazine, providing it with continuous firepower.

Many of the kid grenadiers were shot dead on the spot.

The first and third squadrons attacked by East and West suffered hundreds of casualties in an instant.

Facing such machine gun firepower, they were completely unprepared and shot at close range, causing many little devils to be beaten to pieces before they could react.

The captain of the Shao Zuo brigade who commanded the battle couldn't help but froze in place when he saw this scene.

In a panic, the captain of the Major Commander gave the order to retreat.

He didn't know how much defensive firepower was deployed in the field artillery battalion position. He was worried that his troops would suffer more losses, so he could only withdraw temporarily.

It's just that when these troops were withdrawing, they were also hit by firepower, and little devils kept falling in a pool of blood.

The first attack by the Ninth Battalion of the Independent Infantry on the Field Artillery Battalion failed, and they suffered heavy casualties.

Counting the losses from the shelling on the north side of the New Second Regiment before, they already had a squadron of people killed in battle at this time.

The captain of Shao Zuo had to temporarily cancel the establishment of the first squadron and add its remnants to the other three squadrons.

At the same time, he raised his binoculars to observe the position of the field artillery battalion, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Captain, the artillery of the Jinsui Army is isolated from the defense system, and there must be a large number of troops for defense and protection."

"Judging from the battle just now, they have a large number of machine guns deployed here, as well as large-caliber heavy machine guns."

"Combined with the cooperation of wild artillery, this place is simply impenetrable. If we want to take them down, it is almost impossible."

"However, as long as we contain them around, they can't move. If the air force comes to carry out intensive bombing, we will definitely be able to reap the results."

Soon some military officers came to the commander of the Japanese Army Shaozuo and made suggestions.

The captain of the Shao Zuo brigade pondered for a while, he nodded, and quickly contacted the brigade department.

At this time, the Yamamoto special team has naturally come to the rear of the battlefield, and they have also received a message from the Ninth Independent Infantry Battalion.

But Kazuki Yamamoto did not attack the field artillery battalion, he sent a large number of scouts.

These scouts began to search around with the field artillery battalion as the core, in order to find the headquarters of the Yangcun defense force.

Normally, the commanding authority should be set up behind the artillery positions.

However, Chu Yunfei knew the situation of preparing the 12th regiment, and in addition to this joint eight-way operation, he set the brigade headquarters at the front line.

Kazuki Yamamoto's scouts also discovered the location of Chu Yunfei's brigade headquarters one after another.

After getting the report, Kazuki Yamamoto directed the troops to Chu Yunfei's brigade headquarters without any hesitation.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Kazuki Yamamoto advanced near the brigade headquarters.

They wanted to quickly destroy Chu Yunfei's brigade headquarters through a surprise attack.

However, there is a guard communication battalion near the brigade headquarters for protection, and its subordinates include a guard company, a communication company, and a submachine gun platoon.

Among them, the submachine gun platoon has dozens of people. It is a strengthened platoon establishment, and they are dedicated to protecting the safety of the brigade headquarters.

These were Chu Yunfei's personal bodyguards, they were all veterans, and all of them were trustworthy.

There are four guard platoons and one machine gun platoon under the guard company. Currently they are responsible for peripheral guard work.

This unit is the first elite unit built by Chen Ziyun. They are equipped with excellent weapons and equipment, and the officers and soldiers have rich combat experience.

Of course, according to the system's judgment, this force is the standard for the main force.

But facing the Yamamoto Secret Service, they still have the ability to fight.

"Everything."

"Clap clap clap."

At around [-]:[-], the guard company discovered the Yamamoto special team, and the two sides began to fall into combat.

After Sun Ming heard the sound of gunfire, he dispatched troops to contact the brigade headquarters immediately, and he came to the position to command in person.

Four guard platoons and one machine gun platoon firmly blocked the advance of the Yamamoto special team.

All kinds of weapons on both sides continued to shoot at each other, and both sides suffered casualties.

But after playing for a while, the gap between the two sides gradually became apparent.

The guard company is mainly equipped with submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns, grenades, rifles, and mortars.

But they only have two heavy machine guns, and only two mortars.

The Yamamoto special team here has a lot of weapons and equipment.

Especially the Type 13 sniper rifle, MG60 general-purpose machine gun, and [-]MM mortar.
