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

Chapter 271 Commanded by Chen Ziyun, blocking the attack of the 27th Division
The 27th Division was originally the infantry brigade stationed by the little devils. After the war started in 37, it was strengthened by artillery and other arms.

Then it was directly reorganized into the Garrison Mixed Brigade, and by February 38, it was strengthened again and reorganized into the Garrison Corps.

In July of 38, the little devil reorganized it into the 27th division, which became the field division organized by the triple alliance.

Soon after the reorganization was completed, the 27th Division followed the 11th Army to participate in the Battle of Hankou.

Among the divisions under the North China Front Army, the 27th Division is the only division that has participated in the battle of millions of troops.

After the Battle of Hankou, they returned to the North China Front Army to take charge of the defense of the occupied area.

In recent years, they have rarely participated in large-scale battles, but they have often carried out sweeping operations.

In the sweeping operation, they did not have any defeats, after all, their overall strength lies here.

Now the 27th Division is attacking the reserve 11th regiment's position, and the gap between the two sides is visible to the naked eye.

The three garrison infantry regiments set up various heavy weapons in different areas, and they fired fiercely at the position of the reserve I1 regiment one after another.

The firepower of the 11th regiment was almost completely suppressed, and it was difficult to organize effective defensive firepower interception.

Because it was the first division of the field triple division, the 27th Division received a series of reinforcements.

For example, some main field brigades will get extra rapid-fire guns.

The first regiment of the garrison infantry, the regiment is directly under a mountain artillery brigade, which has twelve [-]-style mountain artillery.

The 11th Reserve Regiment only had four mountain artillery pieces, six infantry artillery pieces, and twelve heavy machine guns. These were all their heavy weapons.

However, the 27st Garrison Infantry Regiment under the 75th Division has twelve [-]mm mountain cannons directly under the mountain artillery brigade.

There are three brigades, six infantry guns, four rapid-fire guns, and 36 heavy machine guns.

More importantly, the firepower of the 11th regiment was suppressed, and heavy weapons such as the little devils could be deployed calmly.

After the deployment of these weapons and equipment, a large number of heavy machine guns concentrated fire to suppress the shooting.

A mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and rapid-fire artillery will quickly start shelling as long as they find the target.

After Chen Ziyun was discovered, he was first hit by bullets and then howitzers.

This is the strength shown by the little devil, that is, Chen Ziyun is lucky and has rich experience.

Otherwise, even if he didn't die here, he would have to be carried down for treatment.

"Head-to-head fights are not like this. Firepower confrontation is launched at more than 300 meters."

"This is not a beggar and the Dragon King. This kind of tactics is not bad against troops such as independent mixed brigades."

"But to deal with the little devil's field division, it's going to show your cowardice, it's not at the same level at all."

Chen Ziyun squatted in the trench, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself.

It has to be said that in the Jinsui Army, most of the officers are well-behaved, commanding operations according to orders, and completely ignorant of flexibility.

Wu Ziqiang is typical, and his ability is considered the limit when he is the head of the regiment.

In terms of learning ability, Wu Ziqiang can't catch up with Liang Guoping!
The weapons and equipment of the independent 48th brigade are not too bad. Facing some small devils, they have an advantage.

They can also have an advantage in the firepower competition over 300 meters.

The little devils were independently mixed into brigades and regiments. Each brigade did not have any artillery, only four heavy machine guns.

But each battalion under the Independent 48th Brigade has four heavy machine guns and two mortars.

And they still have a certain number of submachine guns, so they have an advantage in combat.

But now the situation is completely different, the three field regiments of the little devil are overwhelmed at the same time.

It is no longer easy for the 11th Reserve Regiment to be able to defend until now, which is thanks to Chen Ziyun who led this army.

Otherwise, if it were the 12th reserve regiment, it would have collapsed long ago.

After Chen Ziyun learned about the situation on the front line, he didn't bother to return directly to the regiment headquarters.

After calling several fighters, he immediately conveyed the order.

The troops should not adopt the previous defensive routines at this time, they need to change.

Put the little devil's troops closer to start the attack, concentrate the light machine gun, and the submachine gun to focus on killing the little devil's rifleman.

The sharpshooters of the whole regiment can focus on attacking little devils, grenade shooters, light machine gun shooters, and Japanese officers.

The other fighters were assisting with shooting to disperse the little devil's strike firepower.

Mountain artillery company, using mobility to attack little devils with heavy machine guns.

The machine gun companies of each battalion suppressed the devil troops and prevented them from continuing to follow up.

As for the heavy machine gun, it is to look for opportunities to start shooting.

It has to be said that if conditions permit, Chen Ziyun will definitely replace all the heavy machine guns currently equipped.

Jin Zao imitated the Japanese-style three-year heavy machine gun, the Japanese-style ninety-two heavy machine gun, and the domestic two-four heavy machine gun.

These three heavy machine guns are either about one hundred catties or more than one hundred catties.

Especially the Japanese Type 100 heavy machine gun, which weighs more than [-] kilograms, and this is still an air-cooled heavy machine gun!
When these heavy machine guns are in combat, they need to rely on solid bunkers for cover.

Otherwise, they are easily knocked out by artillery, after all, it is very difficult for them to move.

Some field brigades of the little devils have specially strengthened two 37-type rapid-fire guns. The armor-piercing shells fired by these [-]MM rapid-fire guns are simply the nemesis of heavy machine guns.

"Go back to the regiment headquarters immediately and find the regiment leader Wu Ziqiang, or the regiment attache Shi Yuframe."

"Let them quickly get in touch with Li Yuanchun, the commander of the 24th Artillery Regiment, the first, third, and third artillery positions, and fully support the battle here."

"Tell Commander Li Yuanchun to let them focus on shelling the heavy weapons deployed by the little devil in front of the position and destroy these heavy weapons."

"Then shelling was carried out in batches to intercept the cooperation between their various wings."

With a serious expression on Chen Ziyun's face, he specially found a company commander and directly issued an order.

"Yes, Commander Chen." The captain and company commander quickly agreed, and hurried back to the regiment headquarters along the traffic trench.

The battalions under the reserve I1 regiment have already received orders, and they began to change their combat tactics.

The officers and soldiers were completely concealed, and some weapons began to change positions.

In the face of the little devil's attack, they no longer intercepted it.

After the little devils discovered this scene, after a brief surprise, the Japanese officer quickly brandished his saber.

The first regiment of infantry stationed at the forefront quickly launched operations, and the captain of the Dazuo regiment ordered the troops to advance at full speed.

Twelve mountain cannons fired concentrated fire at different positions, and a large number of shells continued to bombard one point of the position.

Being bombarded here, there are hundreds of little devil infantry advancing here quickly.

As for the other firepower, they started shooting one after another to suppress the positions of the 11th regiment.

A Type [-] heavy machine gun sprayed flames one after another, and dense bullets hit the position one after another.

Chen Ziyun squatted in the trench to hide, but he could feel a terrible sense of oppression.

A large number of bullets hit the bunker in front of the position, and layers of dust were stirred up.

A grenade landed at different positions in the position, and with the sound of an explosion, the shrapnel quickly spread around.

The pungent gunpowder smoke appeared, and after a while, severed arms began to fall from the trenches.

The bloody smell permeated the air, and the little devil's shouts of killing could be clearly heard.

Chen Ziyun took out the shell gun with his right hand and was ready to shoot.

After a while, 11 regiments were ready to shoot with various weapons.

Chen Ziyun got up quickly, and he saw the little devil more than 100 meters away.

He tilted the shell gun and pulled the trigger straight away.

An 11.43mm bullet was fired, and a little devil corporal fell to the ground in response.

"Clap clap clap."

The Jin-made Czech-style light machine gun started firing, and the 6.5MM bullets were fired one after another.

"Suddenly."

Jinzao submachine guns continued to fire, and a large number of 11.43MM bullets were shot out like raindrops in a rainstorm.

The little devils close to the position paid casualties, but soon they fired violently with various weapons.

Type [-] heavy machine guns, crooked light machine guns, grenades, infantry guns, and rapid-fire guns.

Intensive firepower hit, and some soldiers who were shooting began to fall in a pool of blood.

Some soldiers were hit critically and died on the spot.

Painful expressions appeared on the faces of the wounded soldiers, and they looked around for help.

Some of the lightly wounded simply ignored their wounds and continued to fight.

"Boom boom boom."

The first, second, and third artillery positions began to shell under the personal command of Li Yuanchun, the commander of the 24th Artillery Regiment.

Sixteen Jin-made 17-type mountain cannons and sixteen field cannons of different calibers.

A total of 32 artillery pieces fired fierce shelling on the 27th Division troops one after another.

The third artillery position is the field artillery position. There are Liao-made 77MM field artillery, Japanese-made 88-type field artillery, and Jin-made [-]MM field artillery.

Both Liao-made and Jin-made field guns have a range of tens of thousands of meters, while the Japanese-made 300-type field gun has a range of [-] meters.

Under the guidance of the frontier observation post, they were able to launch support shelling on the positions of the 358th regiment and the reserve 11th regiment.

With these artillery aids, the 27th Division set up in front of the position, and the heavy weapons that were still firing violently began to be hit.

A [-]-type infantry gun, under the control of the little devil, continuously aimed and fired.

A grenade was fired one after another, and the captain of the Little Devil Sergeant Cao who commanded the battle had a serious expression on his face.

He kept locking on the target through the telescope, and directed the infantry artillery to attack one after another.

But while they were shooting, a grenade hit without any warning.

This grenade landed directly near the little devil's infantry gun. Although it was more than a meter away, after the grenade exploded, countless shrapnel quickly spread around.

Some little devils began to be hit by shrapnel, and the painful wailing continued to sound.

The captain of the Sergeant Cao Branch realized that he had been completely exposed here, and he was about to quickly issue a transfer order.

But a grenade continued to hit, and this time, the grenade landed precisely on the infantry gun.

The little devil's Type [-] infantry artillery was blown up on the spot.

"Kill it!"

"Shoot, suppress their rifle fire, cover infantry charge."

"Baga, yalu, replace the spring board quickly and keep the firepower going."

A heavy machine gun Here, the captain of the little devil brandished a saber, commanding the Type [-] heavy machine gun to shoot continuously.

The machine gunners fired one after another, and the bullets shot towards the position.

These machine guns are firing in bursts, shooting two or three bullets, with high accuracy.

But as they kept firing, a grenade fell.

With the sound of the explosion, the heavy machine gun was overturned in an instant, and the bodies of the few little devils were not left behind.

The artillery units began to shoot, and the Japanese troops were beaten into a panic.

Many of their heavy weapons are mountain artillery, which hit key targets.

Of the 36 heavy machine guns, seven or eight were destroyed one after another.

Four or five of the mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and rapid-fire artillery were destroyed.

And the little devil who rushed to the front of the position and was less than 200 meters away from the position was hit by various firepower.

The company commander, deputy company commander, platoon leader, and deputy platoon leader continued to shoot with submachine guns.

Jin-made submachine guns fired one after another, and many little devils were beaten into meat sieves.

The little devil's 27th Division headquarters here saw that their troops were frustrated, and hurriedly began to issue orders.

The 36 75MM Type [-] mountain artillery of the Mountain Artillery Regiment launched artillery support, and shells came over one after another.

The position of the 11th reserve regiment was suppressed by artillery, and the soldiers quickly concealed themselves.

The little devil's troops quickly launched an attack, trying to quickly break through to the position.

But the heavy machine guns and grenades of the whole regiment quickly started shooting.

Dense bullets and grenades hit the little devils, and many advancing little devils were knocked down one after another.

The sky became dark unknowingly, and at around 27:[-] pm, the [-]th Division headquarters issued an order to withdraw.

The attacking imps quickly retreated, followed by the infantry.

The 27th Division's Tuanshan Artillery Wing launched a covering bombardment, and a large number of shells continued to hit the reserve 11th regiment's position.

After seven o'clock in the evening, the battlefield became silent.

However, at this time, there were relatively large casualties in all ministries.

The first detachment of the first guerrilla column, which is responsible for the defense of the north and south sides of the independent 48th brigade, currently has more than 2000 casualties with a force of 600 troops.

Its second detachment, 2000 troops, also suffered about [-] casualties.

As for the 27th Reserve Regiment, which was directly facing a field division from the 11th Little Devils Division, their overall casualties were naturally high.

There are more than 2000 troops in the regiment, and they have already paid more than 700 casualties. They currently have only 500 combat troops.

Moreover, many of their heavy weapons were also destroyed in this battle.

After the little devil troops stopped fighting, the 11th reserve regiment quickly took a rest.

Chu Yunfei also immediately held a combat meeting with the officers of the various ministries to learn more about the current combat situation.

As for the minister's department, it also sent a telegram to make a special inquiry.

"Ziyun, do you want to replace the 11th regiment here?"

"I have already greeted the reserve 12th regiment here, and they can quickly replace the reserve 11th regiment at any time."

"The meaning of the Minister's Ministry is obvious. They are asking us to continue to stick to it."

"As for when we will be able to evacuate, we still need to wait for the order from the Minister's Ministry."

At nine o'clock in the evening, in the brigade headquarters of the Independent 48th Brigade, Chu Yunfei looked at Chen Ziyun and asked directly.

"Brigade, the 11th regiment can continue to fight!"

"This army can hold its position and block the attack of the little devil's army."

"However, the first guerrilla column deployed on the flanks may need to be adjusted."

Chen Ziyun looked at Chu Yunfei and replied directly.
