146 Snake Beats Seven Cun
Before the battle began, Li Guosheng seemed to have seen Shengli begin to wave to him. With an excited expression, he asked directly to the correspondent of the secret service camp beside him.
"Is this the same thing in the other two positions of the Japanese?"
"Yes, division seat! In addition to the machine gunners on guard, the remaining infantry were all made into baggage transport soldiers. In addition, on the way from the Japanese baggage positions to the two artillery positions, there were about 500 Japanese baggage units without weapons, responsible for transporting artillery shells to the two artillery positions. "The correspondent replied.
"Five hundred baggage troops, and they are still on the plain without any obstacles. We don't have to worry at all, a cavalry battalion is enough to destroy it..." Li Guosheng did not take the words of the correspondent to heart, and said with a confident look on his face.
For a moment, everyone's eyes gathered on Li Guosheng alone. He stared at his pair of hot gazes, waiting for Li Guosheng's orders.
After a brief contemplation, the division commander Li Guosheng directly drew out the positions of the three Japanese positions on the sand with wooden sticks, and asked Wang Guoli beside him.
"Old Wang, when you first set off, how many mortars did you bring in total?"
"Teacher, in order to facilitate the army's march, I directly replaced all the infantry artillery with mortars. Together, there are three artillery platoons under the three battalions, and a mortar company under the regiment headquarters has a total of 18." The regiment commander Wang Guoli replied without thinking and affirmatively.
"18 mortars are divided into three, that is, six..." Li Guosheng said to himself. Then he set his eyes on the commander of the cannon company and asked.
"Company Commander Wang, after the infantry launched an attack, can you use six mortars to destroy these three machine gun positions before the Japanese infantry responded. At the same time, blow up all the rifles piled up by the Japanese devils here. Let a small Japanese infantry squadron on the position have no chance to get weapons."
Without any hesitation, the artillery company commander who had full confidence in himself spoke directly and promised.
"There is no problem with the creator seat. According to the rate of fire of the mortar, six mortars can fire more than thirty shells in half a minute. It is certain that as long as the distance between the enemy and us is not more than one thousand meters, all shelling targets can be destroyed within half a minute."
"Okay..." The excited smile on Li Guosheng's face became even stronger. He couldn't help but sigh.
"As long as the artillery can destroy these targets in a short period of time, the three positions of the Japanese army will belong to my guard division..."
After saying that, the division commander Li Guosheng ordered the battalion commanders in front of him with expectations. "Zhao Xinting, your mission is to divide the entire cavalry battalion into two, launch an assault on the two Japanese baggage units exposed to the surface of the position, and let me destroy them in the shortest time... After completing the task, if there is still time, directly divide it into three, launch an attack from the inside of the three Japanese positions, and give the Japanese a center to bloom."
"Please rest assured. The cavalry battalion ensures the completion of the mission." The cavalry battalion commander Zhao Xinting assured with a confident look on his face.
"Old Wang, your entire regiment of three immediately divided into three, each equipped with six mortars, and launched an attack on the three positions of the Japanese army."
"I will give you each forty-five minutes of preparation time. After forty-five minutes, all attacking troops must be in place. At that time, based on my signal flare, immediately launch an attack on three Japanese positions and take it down. After the attack mission is completed, the three signal flares will also be based on them. Report to me as soon as possible."
"Yes, the master..." The battalion commanders replied with excitement.
"Well, time is limited, go and prepare immediately..."
Looking at his subordinates who were leaving quickly, Li Guosheng looked at the radio operator beside him and continued to order: "Xiao Wang, immediately send a board to Captain Zhou of the front line: order all troops on the front line, including artillery, to be prepared for counterattack. Once I receive my order, I will immediately launch a counterattack against all the Japanese troops in front of the position and defeat them in one fell swoop."
After all combat orders were issued, what Commander Li Guosheng had to wait for was the arrival of the real battle.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the three main battalions, due to the terrain, could only reach a maximum of 500 meters away from the Japanese artillery position, and they had to stop. They made full preparations for the final decisive battle.
As for the cavalry battalion, because of the war horses, in order to avoid exposing the target in advance, they could only secretly lurk behind a ridge one kilometer away from the battlefield, waiting for the arrival of the last attack moment...
Wang Zhicai, the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment, was lying on the position without saying a word, holding a telescope, observing every move on the Japanese howitzer position five hundred meters away. At this moment, Deputy Battalion Commander Jin Shiwen touched over quietly and reported in a low voice: "Battery Commander, the six artillery mortars of the artillery are ready. I just asked, the artillery brothers promised to kill all the artillery targets in front of them within twenty seconds..."
"I believe in the combat effectiveness of the artillery brothers. Are everyone else ready?" Wang Zhicai, who put down the telescope, nodded very satisfied, and continued to ask with a serious look at Deputy Battalion Commander Jin Shiwen...
"The three infantry companies have all ambushed to the attack positions according to the orders and are ready for assault... The heavy machine gun platoon directly under the battalion has also selected the machine gun positions. Once the battle starts, ensure that the machine gun positions are deployed within twenty seconds, and provide strong fire support to the three commandos..." Deputy Battalion Commander Jin Shiwen replied.
"Okay, let me tell you brothers that the Japanese heavy artillery troops on the opposite side are the Japanese who are struggling to death. The Japanese who are struggling may detonate the heavy artillery and die together with us. Therefore, in order to prevent accidents, no one should show mercy to me during the battle. All Japanese soldiers who resist will be shot and killed... At the same time, during the battle, all officers and soldiers are prohibited from using grenades on the Japanese artillery positions..." Battalion Commander Wang Zhicai ordered.
On the huge battlefield, under the anxious waiting of everyone, three signal flares with white light finally slowly took off.
"Bang bang bang..." Three crisp explosions sounded in the air. It was still a quiet battlefield just now. It became lively in an instant.
"Architecture...Fire artillery..." There were loud roars on the three artillery positions, and almost at the same time.
At the same time, the Second Battalion ambushed the position. Wang Zhicai, the battalion commander who had already put away his telescope, directly picked up a submachine gun that had been prepared, loaded the bullets, and jumped up from the hidden point. He held the submachine gun that had loaded the bullets, and while charging, he shouted at his subordinates behind him.
"Brothers of the Second Battalion. For victory and to avenge the sacrificed soldiers, kill me..."
The cavalry camp position one kilometer away from the battlefield. The sound of cannons sounded, and the cavalry camp led by Zhao Xinting directly pulled out the sabre that emitted a cold light from its waist. The blade stepped forward, waved it suddenly, and shouted loudly at the subordinates behind him.
"Cathedral Battalion, for victory, attack... and kill..."
"Boom boom boom... rumble... kill... kill..." For a moment, the sound of mortar shells exploded, the sound of horse hooves shaking in the cavalry camp, and the shouts of the officers and soldiers of the infantry camp... As the signal flare just rose, it sounded as if it had been agreed. At the same time, it rang on the battlefield.
Balls of orange-red fireballs rose into the air on the periphery of the Japanese howitzer positions several hundred meters away. Faced with the sudden attack, the Japanese devils who had never thought that the enemy would attack him had not yet reacted from the sudden attack. The three machine gun bunkers piled up from sandbags were directly shrouded by the strong smoke produced by artillery fire and shell explosions.
At the same time, sandbags filled with sand were directly blown up like flowers in the sky, and turned into a pile of ruins, driven by huge air waves.
As for the two light machine guns behind the sandbags and the few Japanese machine gunmen hiding behind the sandbags, they exploded while facing several mortar shells, and the baptism of flying shells, they were directly blown to the ground and turned into corpses. As for the two light machine guns, they were thrown high into the sky. After landing, they were smashed into a bunch of parts.
The Japanese army piled more than 100 rifles around the artillery positions. They were directly under the focus of three mortars. With the explosion of more than ten shells, they were instantly blown away. Some were directly blown into a pile of the most primitive parts, while others were blown up by shells...
The artillery bombardment in less than half a minute not only destroyed the only enemy standing in front of the Second Battalion, six light machine guns. More importantly, more than one hundred Japanese infantry on the artillery position directly lost the weapons to counterattack.
Without the intercepting strafing of six light machine guns, and without the fierce counterattack of Japanese infantry... The three infantry companies of the Second Battalion were directly under the cover of heavy machine guns behind them, like three sharp swords unscathed from different directions, quickly penetrated into the Japanese howitzer artillery position that was getting closer and closer to them...
Without infantry weapons, just a small amount of **** in the hands of the officers will basically not play any role in the entire battle situation.
More than 100 Japanese infantrymen and five or six hundred Japanese artillerymen. Although they were very anxious, facing the Zhongzhang team that was getting closer and closer, some people had a look of panic on their faces. However, facing the Zhongzhang team that was still a few hundred meters away, they had no choice but to watch them, and rush towards them with a weapon that could shoot at any time.
"Dadada..." A distance of one or two hundred meters, the dense machine gun strafing and rifle shooting sounds sounded on the battlefield in a very timely manner. A bullet with hatred roared directly and shot into the Japanese body...
One by one, the Japanese in their hands, faced with the flying rain of bullets, besides hiding, they were all left to stand in place and wait for death...
The three infantry companies were like three invincible swords, penetrated into the Japanese artillery positions. The more than a dozen submachine gunmen who charged in front of each company were like the god of death who specialized in harvesting the lives of the Japanese. With the rapid firing rate of the submachine gun in their hands and the reorganized ammunition, they kept firing bullets full of hatred out of the gun chamber and shot into the Japanese chest...
"Brothers, don't be polite, beat me hard and kill all the Japanese..." Wang Zhicai, the battalion commander of the second battalion, stared at his bloodthirsty gaze. While constantly pulling the trigger at the Japanese army blocking him and shooting him on the battlefield, he shouted loudly at his equally excited subordinates.
The completely one-sided battle, coupled with the very timely roar of battalion commander Wang Zhicai, directly caused the morale of both the enemy and us on the battlefield to undergo earth-shaking changes.
Facing the Japanese artillery personnel who were almost at a loss and had almost no resistance, hundreds of soldiers from the Second Battalion showed no mercy. In the roar of the battalion commander, the ones far away from him were greeted with rifles. If they were closer, they would greet them with submachine guns... Of course, if they were close, they would directly stab the bayonets with cold light into the other party's chest without mercy... In short, eliminate all the Japanese who saw them, of course, facing the fierce attack of the Second Battalion, the huge artillery position was not the Japanese who did not resist...
However, it is a pity that the scarce weapons in their hands cannot form any scale under the sweeping of hundreds of rifles, dozens of light machine guns and dozens of submachine guns of the Second Battalion.
The Japanese soldiers just aimed at the target and pulled the trigger of the **** in their hands. Before he could react, a few, even dozens of bullets, were shot into his chest by the officers and soldiers of the guard division because of his own fire...
With absolute firepower advantage, since the Second Battalion rushed into the Japanese artillery position, the entire battle turned into a unilateral massacre... in the flying rain of bullets, like wheat being cut, fell on his own position with a desperate expression.
As for the security division officers and soldiers who acted as "executioners", they were looking for shooting targets and shooting bullets at the opponent without worrying about the opponent's counterattack.
Ten minutes... In less than ten minutes, the massacre that occurred on the Japanese howitzer position was approaching. All six or seven hundred Japanese devils, except those who escaped the artillery position by chance, were wiped out by the second battalion...
"Battleman. According to the report of the three company commanders, all the Japanese in the entire artillery position, except those who escape, must not be left on the artillery position. All of them will become corpses..."
"The Japanese artillery position has a total of 12 large-caliber howitzers. None of them were lost, and all of them were seized intact by us... In addition, we also seized more than 200 shells on the position..." Looking at the corpses of Japanese devils everywhere, seeing a large-caliber howitzers with black muzzles around us, Deputy Battalion Commander Jin Shiwen reported with excitement.
"Damn it, this battle is so easy to fight, it's no different from killing a pig..." After hearing Jin Shiwen's report, Wang Zhicai, the battalion commander who also saw the corpses of Japanese devils everywhere, couldn't help but sigh.
However, after hearing the sound of gunfires that were still ringing in other directions, he recovered from his shock as soon as possible. He said with a smile to Deputy Battalion Commander Jin Shiwen in front of him: "Lao Jin, immediately order the Fourth Company to scatter around the artillery positions in units of platoons to guard against possible counterattacks by the Japanese. The fifth and sixth companies immediately transfer the shells on the positions to prevent accidents... The guard platoon of the battalion department is responsible for treating the wounded and counting the damage to war, and hurry up."
"In addition, we ordered the communication squad leader Wang to immediately fire three signal flares into the sky, telling the division seat that our second battalion successfully completed the task and took down the Japanese large-caliber howitzer position..."
"Yes, battalion commander..." Deputy battalion commander Jin Shiwen answered decisively.
The battle of the Second Battalion went very smoothly. The first and third battalions did not encounter much obstacles when facing the unarmed Japanese army. After all, the Japanese defenders had only a handful of more than 100 people, and they did not have any effective weapons and equipment. As for the battle of the cavalry battalion, even hundreds of Japanese infantry equipped with light weapons could not be their opponents in the endless fields, let alone hundreds of Japanese baggage soldiers who were not equipped with any weapons...
The battle on the Japanese howitzer position ended less than two minutes ago. The gunshots on the field cannon positions gradually stopped. As for the Japanese supplies that were distributed between the positions, none of them were spared, and they all became ghosts under the swords of the cavalry battalion.
Fortunately, the Japanese army was not as rich as in World War II at this moment, and they would not destroy the equipment and supplies they had in their hands before they received orders from their superiors. After the battle, the large number of baggage and heavy weapons brought by the 11th Brigade of the Japanese army from North Korea were preserved intact and all fell into the hands of Li Guosheng.
While the battle started, Li Guosheng, as the division commander, paid attention to every move on the battlefield through the telescope, while waiting for the signal flares that the three main battalions could fire at any time.
The three infantry battalions did not disappoint themselves. Less than fifteen minutes into the battle, they emitted signal flares and flew into the sky with a sharp whistling sound...
"The report division seat is a signal flare of the Second Battalion... The Japanese howitzer position has been successfully occupied by our army..." As soon as the explosion of the signal flare fell, the guard's excitement sounded...
"Bang bang bang..." At the same time, three consecutive explosions sounded in the air. The guard's voice sounded again.
"Reporting the division seat, the third battalion signal flare... The Japanese field artillery position has been occupied by our security division..."
"Bang bang bang... Report to the division seat, the Japanese baggage position fell into our hands..."
"Report the latest news from the division seat, the cavalry battalion, has wiped out all the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield..."
"Finally won..." Hearing this, Li Guosheng finally showed a comfortable smile on his face, sighed and spoke.
Under the gaze of the radio operator in front of him, he directly spoke up and said, "Immediately Issuing an order to Commander Zhou of the Frontier Position, all combat troops of the security division will start a counterattack..."
"Yes, the teacher..."!~!
