Chapter 221 I Thought I Could Be a Brigade Commander Today

"Hey, I thought I could have a taste of being a brigade commander today, but how come there are not even a thousand people? The 43rd Army's ability to counterattack is quite impressive, and they can run so fast with their families."

Captain Li took the list from Wang Dahai and smacked his lips with a slightly dissatisfied look.

"Just you? Still a brigade commander? I'd like some comrades to have some self-knowledge."

"You have been learning under the brigade commander for so many years, and your fighting skills have not improved much, but your joke-telling skills have improved."

After being ridiculed by his own political commissar, Lao Li scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.

After a while, he gathered all the cadres above the battalion level.

"Between the northern defense line of Zhongtiao Mountain and the county seat of Yuanqu, there is a narrow valley with dangerous terrain. It is very suitable for ambushes, and the location I chose is in the middle."

······

After half an hour of waiting, an infantry battalion and a tank squadron appeared in everyone's sight.

From the number of infantry and tanks, neither is full. Obviously, these devils must have contributed when attacking the 43rd Army's position.

At this time, the Japanese army was marching very fast, and there were even signs of a disconnect between the infantry and the armored forces.

There was no way, the pressure from the First Air Division was too great.

No matter which country's troops, conventional light infantry and light tanks would only die if they encountered air strikes in the valley.

However, the enemy's encounter with these things was definitely good news for the First Marine Regiment. At this time, Li Yunlong was looking at the tank squadron approaching from a distance with shining eyes.

Two Type 97 military tricycles were in front, eleven military trucks were in the back, and five "huge" Type 95 light tanks were in the middle.

Such a configuration of troops was absolutely luxurious in the North China battlefield.

Facing the enemy's thoughtful feast, Li Yunlong licked his lips excitedly, and his hands kept rubbing the butt of the submachine gun.

"Hehe, it seems that the Japanese are in a hurry. But it's just what I want. The troops have at least two minutes to focus their fire on the salient. Pass my order, everyone get ready for battle."

"Tell Wang Xikui that I have only one request for them, the first shot must not miss!"

"Everyone locks on a target, and all snipers must knock down an equal number of enemies in the first round of attack! Go to the Japanese above the rank of sergeant!

The soldiers were also very excited. Whether it was the 1st Marine Regiment or the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, they couldn't wait for the battle to start.

The former was because the final They were not able to have a decent battle, after all, the airborne troops of the North China Front were too weak, and many comrades didn't even have a sip of soup.

The latter was because they were bullied by the Japanese tanks in the positional battles, and they had been frustrated for too long. Now they finally had a chance to take revenge.

Now that they were occupying a favorable terrain, they could naturally vent their anger!

The convoy was moving forward quickly and gradually arrived at the foot of the hill where the soldiers were ambushed.

All the Japanese were concentrating on marching. Except for the military motorcycles in reconnaissance and shooting, the rest of the people were not on guard.

"Now! Commando, charge!"

"Fire the mortars and machine guns! Don't save ammunition for the time being! Try to cripple the enemy in the first round of attack! "

At the moment when his own regiment commander gave the order, Wang Xikui pulled the trigger calmly, and his target was the Japanese officer sitting on the truck.

Bang!

The gunshot was still so crisp, and a 7.62x54mm bullet directly hit the enemy's head.

This shot was extremely brutal. The bullet entered from the forehead and went out from the back of the head, directly blowing off the enemy's skull. Suddenly, red blood plasma and brain juice sprayed everywhere.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the driver didn't even react.

When he turned his head to check, his own major's The appearance was still intact, except for a hole in the head. The skull that was blown off fell on his thigh.

Bang!

Another shot, the bullet went through the driver's neck!

The little devil stretched out his arm and held his throat tightly. A lot of blood gushed out of his mouth and wounds, and he was about to die.

Following the order of Captain Li, dozens of soldiers of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army covered the assaulters of the 1st Marine Regiment and approached the battlefield.

On the battlefield, a light machine gun pulled the bolt. Combined with a variety of rifles, the overwhelming metal storm rushed towards The Japanese were shrouded by the enemy.

More than a dozen mortars of various calibers fired at the enemy at full speed according to the artillery parameters given before the war.

The only shortcoming was that the army of nearly 2,000 people did not even have a heavy machine gun. The caliber of the mortars was also a bit small, with only one 82mm to support the scene.

There was nothing that could be done about it, after all, the 1st Marine Regiment was lightly equipped, and most of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army were defeated soldiers. If they wanted heavy weapons, they could only seize them from the enemy.

The soldiers fought with intent, and most of the Japanese in the tank squadron died in the valley without even having the chance to open fire. .

Boom boom boom...

Half a minute after the battle started, the Japanese Type 95 light tank opened fire.

The commander of the tank squadron arranged three tank squads into a wedge. Five 37mm tank guns fell, raising a burst of sand and stone debris, stirring up dust all over the sky.

The Japanese counterattack not only killed several machine gunners, but also injured many soldiers with flying stones.

When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous. Seeing the tanks of Xiao Rizi showing off their power, the soldiers of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army immediately became anxious. Under the command of Wang Dahai, they took explosive packs from multiple positions and prepared to carry out the blast.

Just as the soldiers were preparing to set off, members of the Marine Corps' 1st Commando Group lifted up the green tube they carried.

"Everyone spread out! Rocket launcher! Fire!"

Those who can serve as assaulters are the best among the best, and they are very familiar with the use of 40 fire. Comrades mingled with the ranks of the Jinsui Army just to get close to the enemy tanks.

After entering the effective shooting range, they used the raised mechanical sights to aim at the Type 95 light tank in the valley and pulled the trigger.

More than a dozen rounds of 82mm super-caliber armor-piercing rounds flew out of the rocket launcher, directly hitting the tank in the astonished eyes of the Jinsui Army and the Japanese, and none of them missed the target.

Armor-breaking bullets use the principle of shaped charges to form a metal jet when they explode to break armor.

The five remaining tanks in the tank squadron were immediately scrapped, and the driver, machine gunner and commander naturally all died in iron coffins.

It's a pity that he didn't die in the explosion, otherwise he could have taken away the nearby infantry.

Under the ambush of the 1st Marine Regiment and the Jinsui Army, a tank squadron only lasted five minutes.

All the vehicles and more than a hundred Japanese soldiers made little resistance and died on the way to Yuanqu County.

······

After learning that there was a battle in the valley ahead, Major Shoji Yamano was so angry that he almost cursed his mother.

He had previously proposed that the chariot squadron operate together with his infantry, for fear of being ambushed by the enemy on the road.

Facts have proved that people are really afraid of whatever comes their way.

Although Yamano Shoji was very angry at the indifference of his colleagues, he still led his infantry to rush to support. Who makes every tank extremely precious?

On the position of the 21st Regiment of the Jinsui Army, a battalion commander held a pistol and stared at the Japanese running in the distance.

"Don't be impatient! Wait until the Japanese get closer. We have lost supplies now, and every time we use one bullet, we lose one bullet. Try to fire as few blanks as possible! Aim and shoot!"

Following the battalion commander's order, a series of sounds of pulling bolts were heard in the simple trench.

The trenches could be dug in just half an hour thanks to the engineer shovels carried by the 1st Marine Regiment. With trenches and bomb-proof holes, the casualties of soldiers will be much smaller.

Due to terrain restrictions, the Japanese infantry brigade lost its artillery advantage.

Before the enemy could find out the details, the Jinsui Army and the 1st Marine Regiment, which were ambushed on the hills on both sides, began to attack.

Da da da!

In an instant, fierce fire swept towards the Japanese brigade that came for support.

Such a brutal attack shocked Yamano Shoji. He never thought that the 43rd Army, which had been defeated, would still have such a high level of organization.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, as the captain, he drew his katana and controlled the situation with his majesty and heart-rending roar!

"Everyone! Don't retreat! Attack! Kill those enemies!"

"Grenade, suppress the opponent's machine gun firepower! Infantry! Charge for me!"

Snapped!

One bullet hit Yamano Shoji in the abdomen, and then another bullet hit him in the shoulder.

Watching the Japanese captain slowly fall to the ground, Sun Ergou, whose body was covered with branches and leaves, nodded with satisfaction. Although his marksmanship is still a bit lacking, his camouflage ability has improved a lot.

After Yamano Shoji was killed, the Japs fought back hard under the leadership of their respective squadron leaders.

Bang bang bang!

More than ten grenade grenades roared towards the Jinsui Army's position.

However, these soldiers all survived the cruel battlefield. After all, they could only escape if they had their lives. They were very familiar with the Japanese's fighting style, and the moment they saw the grenade, they took their weapons and moved their positions.

After a round of shelling, all fire points were safe and sound. Only one deputy shooter was injured because he failed to dodge in time and was hit in the leg by shrapnel.

After more than ten minutes of fighting, the two sides fought back and forth, but the casualties of the Japanese brigade were more obvious.

Considering the lack of ammunition, the soldiers of the Jinsui Army and the 1st Marine Regiment swooped into the enemy's formation under the cover of artillery fire. The crowd cut the Japanese in half, and then divided up to surround them, dividing the entire group into three sections.

I have to save my manuscripts in the future, so I can ask you for monthly passes or something like that.
