Chapter 147 Jiedian
In order to avoid exposing the target before the battle begins, the soldiers of the Tax Police Corps enter the predetermined position by crawling, put the bullets and grenades on their bodies next to them in their hands. From here, the Japanese were constantly flowing down, and they bit the wooden stick in their mouths. The soldiers used gestures to remind themselves that they were ready.
Sun Liren was in the artillery position, and when he saw that most of the troops in front had entered the combat position, he immediately ordered: "Fight."
Hundreds of light and heavy mortars roared out of the shells and the light and heavy machine gun bullets on the front line fell into the Japanese team almost at the same time. The loess was overturned by the shock wave of the shells and the high temperature turned the earth and rocks into black. The shells mixed with black earth and rock shrapnel exploded in the Japanese team.
Suddenly being attacked, the Japanese showed good training level again, and three people looked for cover in groups, and then used their weapons (38 large-cap crooked grenade type 92 grenade) to fight back to the high ground in the northeast.
After the gunfire sounded, the soldiers of the Tax Police Corps spit out sticks on the positions in the Northeast Highlands. An old soldier officer shouted: "Get grenades. Give the bastards a grenade."
Condescendingly, every time a mortar fires, it needs to be adjusted through the data of the front-line reconnaissance artillery. Soldiers prefer direct-sight weapons such as light and heavy machine guns and grenades. In everyone's words, it is even more satisfying to watch the Japanese be beaten to death.
All the dangerous goods that can kill people are shuttled through the air, and the battle entered a white-hot state from the beginning. The Japanese believed that this was a holy war called by the emperor, and the officers and soldiers of the Tax Police Corps believed that this was a defense of the country. On the battlefield, only you kill me or I kill you, no one thought that they were the wrong side, and perhaps only the victorious side was qualified to accuse the other side of the wrong side.
Gusuo Tani was passing through this valley entrance in the first echelon. Hearing that the troops behind were attacked, he also entered a dilemma for a while. Now there are about two regiments and half a Class A division coming. Gusuo Tani was sure to take down Shuozhou City, which was defended by the Jinsui Army, but the passage behind seemed very important and could not be left alone.
Gusuo finally made a decision that Shuozhou City must be taken down and must be opened - this is the legendary fact that both hands must be grasped and both hands must be strong. Gusuo ordered that a front corps continue to attack Shuozhou City. The back team that just came from behind became the front team and opened the passage of Pinglu District. The troops behind were divided into three units, one attacking the northeastern highlands, one rescued thousands of imperial troops in the valley road, and the last unit occupied the northwest highlands and cooperated with the first group to attack the enemy in the northeastern highlands - it seems that this side is still safe for the time being.
The dense explosion of shells in the valley made the Japanese unable to tell where the enemy was. Often, the bombs were knocked out by the shells just organized. Until some people were seen running towards the highlands in the northwest, the remaining Japanese followed according to the herd effect.
The gang sent by Gu Shoufu to rescue the siege was not very easy to fight. This was the first time this Japanese were beaten by fire when they entered Shanxi to fight - they used to be beaten by the Jinsui Army. This was also a headache for the Japanese commanders at all levels. Some of the enemies they encountered had broken weapons but were very capable of fighting - such as the 29th Army, some of which seemed powerful but were defeated at once, such as the Yang Hucheng unit of the Little Northwest Army, and of course there were also teams with strict discipline and neat dress and high combat effectiveness - such as the direct divisions of the Central Army.
This makes it difficult for the Japanese commanders to do. When facing troops with weak combat effectiveness and poor discipline, a brave man is often a savage to charge and a intensive artillery bombardment or an air bombing to cause them to disperse. However, when facing troops with strong combat effectiveness, this trick is often proved to be limited. However, it is not known how powerful the enemy is before the battle. This is undoubtedly a waste of soldiers' lives for reconnaissance for a commander.
After the battle started for dozens of minutes, it gradually evolved into a tax police group fighting against the three-sided Japanese. Sun Liren asked the staff officer in charge of statistics: "How is it? How many Japanese killed?"
The staff officer said: "Because the enemy quickly occupied the opposite high ground and had no time to clean the battlefield. It was estimated that there were more than one thousand Japanese soldiers who were killed in ambush, and there were probably two thousand Japanese soldiers. There were about this number of people who fled to the opposite high ground, and the injured were unclear. In addition, Japanese soldiers lost more than 100 mules, carriages and most of the supplies on the carriage."
Sun Liren continued to ask, "Where are us?"
"We have few casualties. So far, only more than 100 people have died in battle or were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness. The people in the supplementary regiment have been replenished. In three hours, our machine rifle bullets will be exhausted, and in five hours, various types of mortar shells will be completed."
Sun Liren said: "It's okay, it takes less than three hours to arrive. Let the light machine gun rifle rest for a while, and wait until the Japanese get close to attack, except for the sharpshooter."
The ammunition brought by the Tax Police Corps this time was only enough to fight two or three high-intensity battles, and the logistics battalion behind them also carried about the same amount of ammunition.
In some ways, the battle was to fight logistics supplies, because the suddenness of this battle was very serious, and the supply battalion that was responsible for transporting supplies did not keep up. But Sun Liren knew that even if it was to keep up, the supply battalion brought mostly bullets and small-caliber mortar shells, grenades and some food tents. A supply battalion could not provide the consumption of high-intensity combat such as two main groups. If the above orders to nail them here, how long it can be nailed depends on whether the Japanese can keep up with the logistics.
As for the tax police regiment, in Shanxi, I can only expect Yan Laoxi’s Jinsui Army to be the leader of the Transportation Brigade (the principal was caught in the shooting). Thinking of this, Sun Liren said: "Create power to Nanjing, Beiping and Taiyuan. I reorganized one hundred divisions and ambushed the Japanese on the Pinglu line of Shuozhou, annihilated more than a thousand Japanese people, and cut off the passage of the Japanese to Shuozhou. In the fierce battle, the northeast-facing highlands are in my hands. Please quickly replenish ammunition consumption. Sun."
For Sun Liren, it was just killing more than a thousand invaders, adding an honor to the newly-elected 100 division. But it was different for Tani Suo. An infantry corps of nearly 4,000 people were killed and lost their combat effectiveness, and the remaining people could barely exert the combat effectiveness of a squadron. Tani Suo brought only three divisions, ten infantry corps, three cavalry corps, three transport corps, two engineer corps and two field artillery corps. Not counting the destroyed supplies, Tani Suo found that he had lost one-thirty of his combat power in less than an hour of battle, and the materials could only be more.
Taiyuan, Shanxi Provincial Government.
Qingshuihe County, Pinglu County and Shuozhou were continuously lost. A group of Jin Army General Staff members who were still worried just now were immediately given to Yan Laoxi after receiving the telegram: "Commander, good news. Good news. A great victory in the front line."
Yan Xishan, who was frowning, raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Oh, could it be that the victory of Shuozhou won the battle?"
