Beat the devil with a system

Page 260

He looked down at the map and pondered for a few minutes, and soon he thought of a way to "lead the snake out of the hole".

At this time, Hu Tudan, commander of the first battalion, Zhou Wenxun, commander of the fifth battalion, and Xiong Erdan, commander of the artillery company, strode into the headquarters.

"Report to the regiment, the first battalion has been ordered to arrive at the assembly point!"

"Report to the regiment, the fifth battalion has been ordered to arrive at the assembly point!"

"Report to the regiment, the artillery company is establishing artillery positions!"

The three of them raised their hands in salute and reported to Li Hong one by one.

Zhou Wenxun was originally the lieutenant and deputy company commander of the 94th Regiment of the 187th Division of the Central Army.

In the Battle of Xinkou, Zhou Wenxun was wounded in the battle. He met Li Hong while he was in the hospital. Li Hongting appreciated his courage and resourcefulness, and spent three 187-style mountain artillery and five boxes of shells to exchange him from the [-]th regiment. .

Xiong Erdan was originally the artillery squad leader of the Artillery Company of the 8th Independent Brigade of the Shanxi-Sui Army. The troops in the Xinkou Battle broke up and later joined the security regiment.

Li Hong was a little absorbed in staring at the map on the table. After a while, he raised his head to look at the three people beside him, and suddenly laughed.

"The three of you came just in time, and there is a new combat mission for you!"

"Tuan Zuo, please instruct!"

The three stood up straight, and then, under Li Hong's gesture, they surrounded the map.

Li Hong pointed to several villages on the map and said: "Bald, immediately take your troops to several villages in Malinggang, ten kilometers away from Nanji Town, and set up an ambush. Zhou Wenxun, you immediately take over the defensive position of the Fourth Armored Battalion! "

"There is also Xiong Erdan, your artillery company, dispatch one out, and bring five large-caliber field guns to Malinggang to support the ambush of the first battalion!"

"Yes, group seats!!!"

They saluted and left the headquarters.

Subsequently, Chen Lin's fourth battalion handed over the defensive position to the fifth battalion, and the troops of the fourth battalion withdrew from the position.

Just as Chen Lin withdrew his troops, he also marched towards Malinggang after receiving Li Hong's order.

Half an hour later, the fourth armored battalion and the first infantry battalion marched quickly along the mountain road towards Malinggang...

Chapter 244

Linfen City, 6 kilometers away, is the station of the [-]th Brigade of the Japanese Army.

Last night, under the order of Wei Boru, the National Army's 3 infantry brigades, 1 artillery brigade, and 13 combat regiments, all combat troops traveled starry night and night, and marched [-] kilometers to the Linfen area on foot.

At this time, tens of thousands of troops of the national army have arrived at the assembly line according to the order, ready to encircle and suppress the 6th Brigade of the Devils at any time.

In order to fight this battle well, Chen Tingxiao personally rushed from Gucheng County to the front line to command the battle.

The sky had just dawned, when suddenly, three red flares flew into the sky.

"Shh, shh, shh!"

As the signal flares took off, all combat troops in the Linfen area saw the dazzling signal flares in the sky.

The general offensive of the national army to encircle and wipe out the 6th Brigade has begun!

"Tom, tom, tom!"

At the beginning of the general offensive, all the mountain artillery and field artillery of the artillery brigade of the national army smashed at the position of the Devil's 6th Brigade a few kilometers away at the same time.

The artillery fired continuously, the ammunition hand loaded one after another, and the artillery brigade's artillery of various calibers exploded one after another.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

The artillerymen of the Artillery Brigade didn't care about saving ammunition at all. It was completely carpet bombing. The devil's position several kilometers away was covered with hundreds of shell craters, and every position was bombarded.

The artillery fired continuously, and several tons of shells poured out in a short while.

The shelling lasted for more than ten minutes, and the position of the Devil's 6th Brigade turned into a sea of ​​gunpowder, rows of field tents, and all kinds of field fortifications were destroyed by the shells, and the devils killed by the shells fell to the ground in twos and threes.

Because the shelling was too sudden, the Devil's 6th Brigade had no defenses. Under such an onslaught of artillery fire, the little devil could not organize an effective counterattack at all.

In the bombardment just now, the 22st Brigade of the 51nd Division defending the city of Linfen concentrated more than a dozen large-caliber artillery and bombarded the Devil's 6th Brigade at the same time.

Chen Changjie's division is a strengthened reorganization division, and its number structure is different from other divisions. The combat effectiveness of a division is comparable to that of a regular army.

The 22nd Division has three brigades, the 37th, 43rd, and 51st brigades. The front-line combat troops alone have about 18000 people, and the total number of logistics troops is nearly 20000.

There are more than 51 people in the 6000st Brigade, and the artillery equipment is basically equal to a Japanese regiment.

The artillery of a brigade of the national army can be equal to the artillery of a devil's regiment, and the number of artillery of a general combat brigade may be equal to that of the devil's brigade. This is the firepower gap between the enemy and ourselves.

The Artillery Battalion and Artillery Brigade of the 51st Brigade shelled on both sides, and bombed the 6th Brigade of the Devils in turn, causing many casualties to the enemy.

After fierce shelling and bombing, at least more than 1000 little devils were killed, and countless devils were wounded.

"Da da da!"

"Sudden, sudden, sudden!"

As soon as the shelling stopped, several combat regiments of the national army launched attacks from the enemy's front, left and right sides simultaneously.

Thousands of soldiers took up their weapons and swarmed towards the position of the Devil's 6th Brigade.

While firing, the soldiers used cover to hide and charged quickly.

The bunkers and camps of the devils were in a mess, with scorched earth everywhere, and even the brigade headquarters were bombed.

"Report to the head of the brigade, our artillery position was hit by artillery fire from Chinese soldiers, and the artillery suffered heavy casualties!"

"Report to the head of the brigade, our logistics brigade was hit by artillery fire from Chinese soldiers, and all supplies were blown up!"

"Report to the head of the brigade, our armored unit was hit by artillery fire from the Chinese soldiers, and more than half of the tanks were destroyed!"

"Report to the head of the brigade, we are surrounded, and the Chinese army has launched a general offensive!"

A group of devil officers ran into the brigade headquarters in embarrassment, and they reported to the head of the 6th brigade.

"Ba Ga Lu, don't panic, immediately order all ministries to launch a counterattack!"

"Communication soldier, hurry up, call for air support, then send power to General Itagaki, request reinforcements, force reinforcements!"

The head of the devil brigade was a little panicked, and hastily issued a series of orders.

Afterwards, the head of the Devils Brigade ran out of the headquarters with several officers. He held a telescope in his hand to observe the attacking Chinese troops in all directions, looking for a weak point to break through.
