Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 453 Japanese Roasted Pig!

"Open your eyes wide."

"If we're not careful, the devils will die with us."

In Heyuan County, amidst the ruins, the New 1st Regiment was in formation cleaning up the battlefield. The platoon leaders in charge of the frontline command kept shouting, "The New 1st Regiment is cleaning up the battlefield!"
"Work as a squad, cover each other, pay attention to your surroundings, don't save ammunition, and if you find anything suspicious, fire immediately."

"Throw a grenade first, where you can't see it."

"The civilians are all in the tunnels. Our weapons can't hurt them."

The first-line company and platoon leaders of the new regiment not only have rich actual combat experience, but also rich command experience. As Zhao Gang's officer and cadre training class continues to expand, every officer has the opportunity to learn and grow rapidly.

A company of the New 200st Regiment had more than 13 people, and a squad had about 20 to people. Each squad advanced in battle formation, searching all ruins and suspicious locations. When they saw the bodies of Japanese soldiers, they would directly fire a volley of bullets. After the submachine gunners finished shooting, the new recruits would come up and stab them with bayonets.

Not far away, in a bunker on the edge of the division headquarters, Jingguan Changlong saw this scene and shouted, "The Eighth Route Army didn't even spare the wounded."

The tone was filled with anger and deep helplessness.

Once upon a time, the Japanese army treated the Chinese army in the same way on the battlefield.

The Japanese army was even more excessive, not even sparing prisoners.

But now the Eighth Route Army is using the same method against them, and Jingguan Changlong can't stand it anymore.

Just now, the Eighth Route Army launched what the Japanese army thought was a chemical bomb.

Jingguan Changlong was also incapacitated by the Eighth Route Army's pepper bomb.

But as time went by, Jingguan Changlong and others were still in pain, but they had barely regained their ability to move.

At this time, the Japanese realized that the Eighth Route Army was not using chemical bombs, but pepper bombs, but the effect was not much worse than that of the Japanese chemical bombs.

At least several thousand wounded Japanese soldiers were smoked to the point of losing their ability to move, and were then killed by the Eighth Route Army like fallen leaves swept away by autumn wind.

If these thousands of wounded Japanese soldiers were still able to move, they would surely perish together with the Eighth Route Army and kill hundreds of them.

Jingguan Changlong wanted to report this situation to the First Army Headquarters, but the backup antenna was destroyed as soon as it was set up. Without the antenna, the radio signal was very weak and it was impossible to contact the First Army Headquarters.

"Fire."

Seeing the Eighth Route Army approaching to clean up the battlefield, Jingguan Changlong gave an order.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese rushed out of the air-raid shelters one after another, and several bunkers around the division headquarters opened fire. Caught off guard, more than a dozen soldiers of the New 1st Regiment fell in a pool of blood.

This sudden situation scared the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment, especially the new recruits, who seemed a little at a loss.

This battle went so smoothly. It was basically all artillery performing, with the infantry just doing some overtaking shooting. Then the infantry rushed in to harvest the corn, and didn't even encounter any decent resistance from the Japanese.

The sudden opening fire from the Japanese made the new recruits a little uncomfortable. Because they reacted a few beats too late, they were knocked to the ground by the subsequent hail of bullets.

However, the company and platoon leaders and veteran elite soldiers of the new regiment could not help but become furious when they saw the new recruits lying in a pool of blood.

Among the first wave of soldiers who were shot, there were several good candidates with excellent marksmanship, and they had the opportunity to join the special forces in the future.

"Not only did the damn Japs refuse to surrender, they even dared to shoot at us."

"Covering fire!"

"Flammers, come on! I'm going to turn the little Japs into Japanese roasted pigs today."

Upon seeing this, the nearest company commander immediately summoned his soldiers and surrounded the Japanese soldiers.

The nearby companies of the New 1st Regiment heard the gunfire and swarmed over like sharks smelling blood. Inside the Japanese division headquarters, the Japanese looked down as they watched the increasing number of Eighth Route Army soldiers surrounding them and the powerful firepower they possessed, suppressing the Japanese to the point of being unable to raise their heads.

Not far away, two 60mm mortar teams from the New 60st Regiment quickly set up two mm mortars and fired pepper bombs at the Japanese division headquarters.

The Japanese soldiers who had just calmed down put on the mask of pain again, and all of them burst into tears, even Jingguan Changlong was no exception.

"It's over..."

Jingguan Changlong knew that he was completely finished, so he threw away the Lieutenant General's sword bestowed by the Emperor Tianhuang, took out the Type 14 Nambu pistol, opened the safety, pointed it at his temple and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The bastard box did not jam, and the bullet went through Jingguan Changlong's head and hit the inner wall of the concrete bunker.

……

More than an hour later.

New regiment headquarters.

Zhang Dabiao reported to Li Yunlong and handed him a lieutenant general's command knife. "Report to the regiment commander, the battle is over. According to preliminary statistics, this battle wiped out more than 27 Japanese soldiers from the th Infantry Regiment, the Field Artillery Regiment, and the Quartermaster Regiment. The old devil Jingguan Changlong shot himself. This is his command knife."

At the last moment, the Japanese had lost their ability to resist. The company commander who was commanding the attack on the Japanese division headquarters stopped the flamethrowers from spraying fire into the bunker. This action allowed them to seize the Japanese lieutenant general's command sword. The company commander was also awarded second-class merit and was promoted to battalion commander after the battle.

His words, "The damn Japs not only refused to surrender, but also dared to shoot at us," will also be widely circulated throughout northwest Shanxi.

But these are all things for later.

Li Yunlong drew out the Japanese lieutenant general's sword with a swish, and half of the sharp blade was exposed, and the temperature in the entire regiment headquarters dropped a few degrees.

"good."

Li Yunlong nodded, and then put it back into the sheath:
"How are the people in the city doing?"

Zhang Dabiao reported: "Almost all the civilians have come out of the tunnel. There are some casualties, but fortunately there are not many civilians in the city, so the casualties are not great."

Li Yunlong nodded. There was nothing he could do about it.

After all, the tunnels dug by the common people themselves were not reinforced with steel bars or concrete, and could easily collapse under bombardment.

The new group has been very restrained.

No cannons with a caliber of 105 mm or above were used to fire into the city, otherwise the casualties among the civilians would have been even greater.

"Da Biao, you stay here to clean up the mess and make proper arrangements for the civilians. If it weren't for the tunnels they dug, our New 1st Regiment would probably have suffered nearly 10,000 more casualties in this battle." Li Yunlong said as he put on his military cap.

"Captain, what about you?" Zhang Dabiao asked.

Li Yunlong's eyes were sharp as knives: "I will lead the troops to Anhua County to deal with the Japanese 28th Brigade."

The rich results of this battle and the smoothness of the fighting were beyond Li Yunlong's expectations.

Logically speaking, the strategic goal had been achieved and the 14th Division had been severely damaged.

But to be on the safe side, it would be better to eat up the 14th Brigade of the 28th Division and then equip the new regiment with semi-automatic rifles.

"Yes."

Zhang Dabiao straightened his body and analyzed to Li Yunlong:
"Now that the battle is over here, the Japanese from the 28th Brigade will definitely not dare to send reinforcements. It all depends on whether the Japanese from the 28th Brigade dare to defend Anhua County."
