The former enemy headquarters of the Sixth Division.
At the strong request of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, Huang Yu was directly deprived of the right to lead troops in the war and stayed here to command.
"Report to the Deputy Chief of Staff..."
The correspondent hurried in to report.
"The artillery unit accurately hit the target. The Japanese tank squadron was plunged into a sea of flames and almost lost its combat effectiveness."
"Order..." Huang Yu, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, said directly.
"The central offensive troops will attack immediately and go straight to the Japanese army's garrison."
"Move quickly, with artillery cover, and the infantry only follow the tanks to launch an assault. The battle must be quick and decisive. Penetrate the Japanese garrison as quickly as possible. You must not fight a stalemate with the Japanese, let alone be dragged on the battlefield by the Japanese."
"When you encounter a difficult bone, call for artillery support directly, or ask the armored battalion to rush over for reinforcements."
"There is only one artillery brigade left in the Japs station that can pose a threat to our army."
"As planned, the middle commando team will first attack the Japanese artillery positions, and then launch an assault on their headquarters."
"After capturing their artillery positions, the captured equipment and ammunition can be taken away as long as they can without affecting the assault speed and combat effectiveness of the troops."
"Especially the shells."
"In order to kill the Japanese chariot squadron and blow up the Japanese garrison, the military division prepared a total of two thousand artillery shells for the little Japanese."
"Although our family has a big business, we can't just consume it without replenishing it."
"Otherwise, no matter how strong your family fortune is, it will be completely ruined."
…………
"Rumble..."
Twelve tanks and armored vehicles soon roared, and with more than a thousand reinforcements, they rushed towards the Japanese army station.
In order to be able to take away the equipment and ammunition captured by the troops on the battlefield at any time, Huang Yu specially arranged for two baggage companies to follow them with mules and horses.
The entire team was like a torrent of steel, rushing towards the Japanese military station.
Under the cover of artillery fire, they rushed to a position five to six hundred meters outside the enemy's garrison before being exposed.
Then the little Japs who let go of the station panicked, and the Japs team leader was no exception.
It was completely unexpected that the Yizhong Eighth Route Army would even dispatch tanks to deal with him.
Pulling out his command knife, he pointed at the approaching tanks in front of the formation and shouted loudly: "The artillery brigade will fire immediately to block the Eighth Route Army tanks. Hurry up..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The sound of explosions soon rang in the ears of the captain, but it was not the Eighth Route Army tank unit that was under attack, but the artillery brigade on which he had high hopes.
Dozens of flames shot into the sky at the artillery position. Two mountain cannons were blown over on the spot, and more gunners were blown away.
"Boom boom boom..."
A series of closer explosions reached his ears again, and the captain was thrown to the ground by the guards at the same time.
"No, we are being targeted by the Eighth Route Army artillery..." the guard captain cried out.
Regardless of whether the commander agreed or not, he waved his hand to the surrounding guards and shouted an order: "Why are you still hanging around here?"
"Protect the captain and move immediately. It's too dangerous here..."
"Da da da……"
Twelve tanks began to join the battle, and dozens of vehicle-mounted machine guns sprayed flames at the defense line. Bullets intertwined with each other to form an airtight bullet net.
A guard less than three meters away from the captain was beaten into a sieve as soon as he got up from the ground.
The captain originally wanted to continue to guard here, but when faced with the bloody corpse in front of him, he became afraid, shut his mouth decisively, and was surrounded by guards and evacuated the defense line.
"Kill me..."
In sharp contrast to the captain is the death squad composed of dozens of Japanese.
Holding the explosive pack, he rushed out of the defense line with agility.
It was scurrying around the battlefield like a monkey, trying to get close to the tank and destroy it with the explosive pack in its arms.
The artillery brigade was attacked and could not use artillery fire to help them destroy the dozen tanks in front of them.
The Japanese troops defending their positions could only rely on their own flesh and blood.
"Da da da……"
But the Eighth Route Army discovered these Japs as soon as they appeared, and immediately sent out several truck-mounted heavy machine guns to stare at them.
The infantry following the chariot were not idle either.
He stared at the front of the tank very vigilantly, with the rifle in his hand and the bullets loaded, ready to pull the trigger at any time to kill those who escaped the vehicle-mounted machine gun.
Even if it was the corpse of a little Japanese that fell to the ground, they would fire two more shots to kill it completely.
Prevent any kid from pretending to be dead to get close to the tank.
"Rumble..."
An explosive package held in the arms of the Japanese was detonated by a bullet and exploded more than thirty meters away from the tank.
The fire splashed, and the little devil holding him was instantly blown to pieces, not even the stumps of his limbs and arms were left behind.
After a while, more than fifty Japanese from the death squad were killed.
The Japanese squadron leader defending here was very unwilling, but his strength was inferior to others. He could only smash the sandbags with anger to vent his inner dissatisfaction.
Then he drew out his command knife with a swipe and ordered loudly: "Everyone, fix your bayonets and prepare to fight hand-to-hand with the Eighth Route Army."
"Block the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops at all costs."
"Kill me..."
After saying that, he was the first to rush out of the trench.
As a result, the tank that had rushed thirty meters away stopped unexpectedly.
The vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun fired wildly at the Japs. More than a thousand additional troops accompanying the attacking team also joined the battle. Using the tank as a cover, they set up their machine guns and fired at the Japs.
The squadron leader was shot several times and fell to the ground, dying on the spot.
His eyes were round and full of unwillingness.
I thought that after I launched a counterattack, the Eighth Route Army would fight with them with bayonets as before. After all, the Eighth Route Army did not have much ammunition in their hands, so they would save what they could.
As a result, the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong did not follow common sense and gave up fighting with bayonets and used machine guns to shoot at them from a long distance.
The hand-to-hand combat turned directly into a one-sided massacre...
More than a hundred Japs may seem like a lot, but the total number of light and heavy machine guns used to shoot at them exceeds fifty. On average, each machine gun can be divided into three Japs. In the blink of an eye, a full squadron was killed.
"Rumble..."
The stopped tank company moved again and headed straight for the Japanese artillery position that had just been blown up by artillery fire.
As soon as the Captain of the Japanese Army moved to a safe area, he received the bad news that the defense line had been breached and the Eighth Route Army had entered the garrison.
His eyes were red with anger and his mind was in a mess.
He suddenly discovered that the situation the troops were facing was completely inconsistent with the battle scenes he had imagined in his battle plan.
In the battle plan discussed during the day, although there was only one infantry brigade left in the station, relying on the favorable terrain and the cover of artillery and explosive vehicles, it would be no problem to block the attack of two or three main regiments of the Eighth Route Army.
As a result, the opponent used mountain artillery several times more than their own to destroy the tank squadron and take away one of their trump cards.
Then use artillery to kill the artillery brigade and take away another one of your trump cards.
Finally, chariots were dispatched to attack.
In just a few minutes, he broke through the defense line that he thought he could hold for half an hour.
Now that the Eighth Route Army has entered the garrison under the cover of tanks, the remaining garrison alone cannot change the situation of the battle. The commander of the regiment can only pin his hopes on the returning troops.
