Chapter 271(1/2)
A series of explosive flames suddenly appeared on the road, and countless artillery fires were blown into the air. The crazy little Japanese even detonated the shells in suicide.
The terrifying shock waves and various shrapnels killed and injured everyone indiscriminately. The Japanese army was the first to be hit, with broken limbs and broken arms flying all over the sky, and the captain of the Kikuta United was also exploding by the explosion.
The warriors of the Second Regiment who rushed the front were also killed and injured by the bomb. The entire battlefield was dusty, as if they were covered by artillery fire.
Xing Fuquan asked the soldiers to avoid the explosion range and encircle the two wings. After the Japanese army's death strike, they could no longer make any effective resistance and were quickly surrounded by soldiers of the Second Corps.
In addition, Long Wen and his team kept firing cold guns on the top of the mountain, the artillery corps had lost their ability to resist, and the remaining Japanese soldiers became dead souls under the gun. In the end, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers knelt on the ground and surrendered to the soldiers.
"We surrender, we surrender!"
Faced with the bitter begging of more than a dozen Japanese people, they answered their cold bayonets, because Liao Mingyu said that he would not accept the surrender of anyone from the 18th Division.
"Kill them, no one will be left!"
Xing Fuquan had a cold face like a judge in the underworld, and sentenced these Japanese to death. He had always implemented Liao Mingyu's orders to the end.
"Puff!Puff!"
"Yamilo!"
"ah……"
The remains of artillery on the road were still filled with black smoke, and dilapidated bodies were everywhere, with craters smashed by shells everywhere.
This scene made Xing Fuquan feel a headache. He didn't expect that Japan was so strong that he would explode with a disagreement... Although he almost wiped out the artillery corps, he was blocked.
There was no choice but to find a way to clear the road. Chen Jize and the others came over immediately, and they just blocked the convoy behind them and couldn't get through.
"Clear the rags on both sides, fill the craters on the road with stones, and move quickly!"
Xing Fuquan immediately directed the soldiers to clear the battlefield and check if there were any equipment left to be used.
"Fuck, what a good shot, what a pity..."
Long Weng also brought people down from the mountain, and said with great regret when he looked at the field cannons that had been blown up.
"Deputy Commander? Fortunately, you are here to stop the enemy, otherwise this group of Japanese devils would have escaped."
At this time, Xing Fuquan saw him and ran over with a smile and greeted him.
"What's good? You kid are also a tiger, why do you have to use cannons? How many shells and artillery are affected by the explosion?"
"Uh...Isn't that used to it?"
Xing Fuquan scratched his head and said embarrassedly that this is true. Except for the Japanese who played the self-destruction themselves, a large part of the cause of the explosion was caused by the mortars of the Second Regiment.
Those were thirty-six 75-caliber field guns, and twelve 105 guns. If they could be seized, they could form another artillery regiment. This made Deputy Commander Long, who had tasted the sweetness of artilleryism, feel heartbroken.
Long Weng walked towards the cannon racks that were blown into rags, trying to see if there were any survivors. He was not careful and was tripped by the corpse of the Japanese on the ground, and almost fell to eat shit.
"Haha... the Turtle Son is like a landlord and old money fan...Ouch!"
Yaoma laughed apart, but as expected, Long Wen flew over and cursed in his mouth:
"Smile, just laugh! Get out of here and play with the mines you buried. If you break your own people, I will kill you! Damn..."
At around 7 o'clock in the evening, Chen Jize's brought the third regiment here, and a convoy of more than 100 trucks and jeeps drove on the road in a mighty manner.
In addition to the soldiers, there were also various ammunition and food on the car, and a large number of infantry were followed by. Every other section, there was a cluster of light, like a long dragon, as if it could not be seen at all.
The Second Regiment cleared the wreckage and obstacles at the fastest speed, and the pits on the road were also filled with stones and soil, which fully demonstrated the importance of the troops' coordination and cooperation at this moment.
Time is life. Chen Jize and the others did not stop at all and quickly drove to Longling through this section of the road.
Long Weng took the Falcon Team to provide supplies, and naturally took the ride. If it was such a big deal to attack Longling, how could he not be there?
Now the entire West Bank has begun to take full action. In addition to the third main group, Meng Fanle's first group has embarked on the journey after a short rest and supply.
Liao Mingyu personally led the guard battalion and the Second Regiment to follow, and the artillery regiment also loaded a heavy artillery onto the truck and headed towards the designated location.
All the remaining combat troops of the Third Honor Division were moving towards Longling. Liao Mingyu used more than 300 cars of various types and countless mules and horses to continuously send troops and material resources to the front line.
At this time, Yu Xiaoqing became the "Logistics Captain" to unconditionally support the actions of the Honorary Third Division, except.
He had seen through it. He couldn't count on teammates like Zhong Bin. If he wanted to win, he had to rely on Liao Mingyu to lead him to fly.
...
The failure of the battle outside the Nantianmen made the top Japanese army furious. In addition to the 146th Regiment that retreated to Gaoligong Mountain, he could also maintain contact. The 114th Regiment and the artillery corps directly under the 56th Division were both lost.
The 56th Division Commander Masao Watanabe was crossing the stairs back and forth in the Tengchong Command Center. He really couldn't believe that his side actually lost this battle.
Although they could not directly contact the 114th Regiment, the information sent back from all aspects was enough to prove that they were defeated and they were defeated quite miserably.
"Watanabe, there are currently only more than 2,000 defenders in Longling. We need to send reinforcements to assist in the defense, otherwise it will be a bad thing when the Chinese people reorganize the re-attack... Longling will be."
Chief of staff of the division, Chiba, put the information in his hand on the table and said, looking at a short and fat back.
"Didn't you contact Sato and the others?" Watanabe turned around and looked at him and asked.
Qianye shook his head, revealing some concerns in his eyes. It is logical that each brigade is equipped with a military radio station, but there has been no news for so long that only one situation can be explained...
"The troops in Tengchong are already pale in comparison. The Chinese people opposite us are still eyeing each other. Let's transfer the brigade from Mangshi to Longling first."
Watanabe made arrangements immediately. Mangshi is located west of Longling and is along the Yunnan-Burma Highway. Reinforcements from that direction are the fastest.
He believes that even if the Chinese defeated the 114th Regiment, they would definitely be seriously injured, and it would be impossible to take too much action in a short period of time.
"Send a search team and be sure to find out the situation of Sato and the Artillery Corps!"
“Wowa Masida.”
Watanabe was a little irritated. Not to mention the 114th Regiment, there was a whole artillery corps, which was the elite of their 56th Division. Dozens of artillery were not a joke.
You should know that since the empire opened up the battlefield in Southeast Asia, there has not been a single artillery force that was destroyed in an established manner. If this happened to him, I don’t know how Commander Iida would deal with it.
"Mr. Qianye, you'd better go to Longling tomorrow. I'll be relieved if you're there in person."
Watanabe thought about it and still felt that Longling needed a capable commander to take charge.
"Okay, then I..."
"Report to the general, Longling urgently! The Chinese attacked Na Hong and Huilongwan and other peripheral defense lines at night. They were now heading towards Longling County and requesting support from the division and regiment headquarters."
At this moment, a soldier from the telegraph team suddenly ran over and reported that this information instantly made Watanabe and the others sweat in a cold sweat.
"Nani!? How could the Chinese call him so quickly?"
"Are you sure the authenticity of the telegram?"
Chief of Staff Chiba grabbed the telegraph soldier's collar and asked anxiously.
"The Chief of Staff... was indeed sent by the Longling Garrison. They also reported the results of the Nantianmen battle today. The 114th Regiment was defeated. At present, less than 500 people fled back to the station. Colonel Kikuta's artillery corps... are all broken."
Watanabe and Chiba looked at each other and saw shock and fear in each other's eyes. The situation was far worse than they thought.
"Immediately order the 113th Regiment to assist Longling. Forget it, let me lead the team myself, Watanabe Jun?"
Qianye realized that he was a little overwhelming, and he didn't care about the rules when it was urgent, so he looked at their division commander with an inquiring look.
"Okay, please Mr. Chiba!"
Watanabe didn't say much, but just solemnly instructed that it was already burning now. If the Chinese took Longling down by the Chinese, they would be cut off in western Yunnan.
...
At the same time, Chen Jize led the third regiment to break through the two lines of defense established by the Japanese army on the periphery of Longling. The Japanese did not realize that the enemy would launch an attack so quickly, and there was no setting up front-line reconnaissance posts that they should have. It was too late to find that there was a situation.
The soldiers of the Third Regiment used armed trucks as assault vanguards and rushed into the Japanese defense zone at a very fast speed. After arriving at the designated location, the infantry on the vehicle immediately got off with their equipment and used the night to cover the attack on the strongholds along the way. The Japanese army's loose outer defense line was almost collapsed at once.
When they realized that they had begun to gather their troops to fight back, the large troops following behind them also put in a big rush, divided and surrounded them, and wiped them out one by one.
The Japanese could not resist and retreated one after another, reorganized their defenses at the outskirts of Longling City, and launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle with the enemy.
Of course, Chen Jize would not do anything stubbornly. After joining the large troops in the rear, he immediately set up a formation and bombarded the defense line outside the Japanese city.
Although there were no heavy artillery, this time Liao Mingyu gave him two regiments of mortars, using their flexibility and concealment to deploy them 3 kilometers in front of the Japanese position.
Nearly 200 60mm and 81mm mortars fired at the same time. You can imagine what kind of scene it was. The Japanese position instantly turned into an ocean of explosion, and the terrifying fire speed suppressed the Japanese.
Chen Jize demonstrated excellent tactical cultivation. He asked the troops to use the communication ability of walkie-talkies to cooperate with the attack from multiple positions outside the position in platoons under the cover of night and artillery fire.
The dark night is the best cover. The Japanese don’t know how many enemies they came in in a panic. Just judging from the firepower alone, at least one division is there.
Little did Chen Jize know that the full battle in his hands was just a little more than one group, with less than three thousand people.
There is no way, the firepower of the third regiment is too strong, and I can't see clearly at night, so the firepower of the semi-automatic and fully automatic weapons made the Japanese think that they were besieged by tens of thousands of people.
This wrong understanding directly led to even more wrong results. The Japanese commander ordered the troops to give up their peripheral positions to avoid being surrounded by the enemy, gathered their troops to lean into the city, and tried to rely on the houses in Longling City as cover to continue to stick to it.
This retreat gave Chen Jize the initiative on the battlefield. He asked the main force to continue to attack feint, and the artillery shells kept bombing the Japanese army. At the same time, he arranged more than a dozen trucks to transport infantry to the west gate of Longling City, and launched a surprise attack from the diagonal rear and directly rushed into the city.
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
"boom!"
"boom!"
The explosion and fire were accompanied by screams, and the Japanese army actually found a team of Chinese people appearing behind them.
"The Chinese have flew in from behind!"
"Baga! Block the gap and drive them out!"
To be continued...
