Chapter 790: Clearing the Extension Stronghold (2)
Each regiment received the latest battle order from Commander Yang, and the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Division, Xiao, learned that the newly formed independent 1st Regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, which had played a prestigious role in the Battle of the 100 Regiments, under the leadership of Lei Jian, quickly reinforced the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Division to attack the Battle of Dongtuanbao.
Regiment Leader Xiao secretly made up his mind that he must take the stronghold of Sanjia Village as quickly as possible, otherwise he would lose face.
According to the strength of the troops, Commander Xiao was divided into the first and second echelons, the first echelon looked for the weak firepower position of the stronghold in Sanjia Village and launched the most fierce attack, and the second echelon followed closely behind, ready to reinforce at any time.
Commander Yang considered the advance of the battle and the difficulty of each stronghold, and decided to take the stronghold of Sanjia Village first, which would stimulate the morale of the soldiers in the troops, and immediately ordered the second regiment of Commander Xiao to send a mountain cannon, but only three shells could be distributed.
He said on the phone with Regiment Commander Xiao: "Commander Xiao, there are only three shells, you have to use them carefully, and strive to use three shells, which can hit the most difficult Japanese stronghold, do you understand?" ”
Regiment Commander Xiao replied excitedly: "Please rest assured, commander, our second regiment will definitely destroy the Japanese stronghold in Sanjia Village in the shortest possible time with the support of artillery fire and brother troops." ”
When the soldiers saw that Commander Yang had sent a mountain cannon, they shouted happily one by one: "It's good now, with this mountain cannon, no matter how difficult the pillbox is, it's just too exciting." ”
By order of the regimental commander, the fighters carried this mountain gun to the captured enemy pillbox,
Commander Xiao said to the artillerymen: "My good brother, aim at the enemy's Dongshan pillbox and bombard him for me." ”
The artillery soldiers looked embarrassed, but they didn't say anything, they aimed at the Dongshan Artillery Tower, adjusted the gun position again and again, and finally the artillery captain suddenly shouted: "Open the cannon." ”
'Boom, boom', two shells flew out of the barrel one after another, with a whistling sharpness, bombarded the Dongshan Artillery Tower in Sanjia Village, two explosions, rising into the sky, covering the devil's turret.
The fighters on one side shouted excitedly: "Hit, hit." ”
When the smoke cleared, two shells fell on both sides of the turret, and the Dongshan turret seemed to have only been smoked by the smoke and fire, and had not been hit at all.
The artillery captain said embarrassedly to Commander Xiao, who was standing on the side: "Commander Xiao, this mountain cannon has just been captured, and the artillery soldiers have not fired the cannon yet....... ”
Commander Xiao heard what the artillery captain said, what else could he say? Immediately jump out of the bunker and command the troops to launch an attack on the Dongshan Artillery Tower.
The funny thing is that the Dongshan Turret was not destroyed by the shells, but these two deafening shells exploded, and the little devils in the turret were afraid that they would come with a few more shots, and the turret would be destroyed, and the little life would be gone.
One by one, the Japanese soldiers were like frightened ghosts, rushing out of the turret in a panic, spreading their feet and fleeing towards Laiyuan City.
The commander of the second regiment of the third division, Xiao, saw that the turret was not destroyed, but the little devil escaped from the turret in fright, he ordered the troops to attack the turret, as long as there is still a negative resistance to the enemy, completely eliminated, the troops in the attack, the enemy who counterattacked the maximum firepower hunting, and finally occupied the Dongshan turret in Sanjia Village.
After receiving reinforcements from the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Division to attack the 1st Regiment and 3rd Battalion of the 1st Division of Sanjia Village, under the cover of night, they left the outskirts of Laiyuan City and quickly rushed to Sanjia Village.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the 1st Regiment and 3rd Battalion rushed to the outskirts of Sanjia Village, joined up with the 2nd Regiment, which was attacking the Japanese stronghold in Sanjia Village, and surrounded Sanjia Village.
The Eighth Route Army attacked the troops of Sanjia Village and launched an all-out attack, and the deputy battalion commander of the third battalion of the first regiment led the troops to surround a turret built on the top of the hill, and used cluster grenades to blow up the barbed wire outside the turret, braving the enemy's dense bullets, throwing out grenades like raindrops.
After more than nine hours of field fighting, when the sun rose in the morning, they finally destroyed the Japanese stronghold in Sanjia Village, wiped out more than 130 Japanese troops, captured more than 20 of them, and did not escape a little devil, and also eliminated a company of puppet troops and captured more than 50 people.
Commander Yang, who had been standing on the ancient beacon tower, stayed awake all night, seeing the sun rising in the east, the gunfire in the outer direction of Sanjia Village slowly thinning out, and the gunpowder smoke and beacon flames that had been vacated before were also slowly drifting away.
Commander Yang said to the deputy commander beside him with some excitement: "Deputy Commander Gao, let's go, let's go down this beacon tower and take a look at Sanjia Village." ”
A group of more than 20 warrior horsemen rushed to Sanjia Village with a whip, and the distance of three miles was soon reached.
Commander Yang saw that the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, and their faces were filled with victorious smiles, and he shouted to the soldiers: "The soldiers have worked hard. ”
Commander Xiao of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Division, led the cadres of the regiment to run to Commander Yang, who was standing on a dirt slope, and immediately reported: "Report to Commander Yang, the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Division, with the cooperation of the 1st Regiment and 3rd Battalion, has completed the task of destroying the periphery of the Japanese stronghold in Sanjia Village, please instruct the chief." ”
At this moment, suddenly there was a 'rumbling' roar in the air, and an enemy plane swooped down from a high altitude, seeing that the momentum was about to burrow into the ground, and less than 1,000 meters above the high slope where Commander Yang and his party were standing, the enemy fighter dropped a war bomb and exploded around Commander Yang and several people, and the enemy plane suddenly raised its nose and rushed into the sky.
On the way back, the enemy plane, like cow dung that could not be shaken off, tracked and dropped bombs all the way, and rushed to the Juma River before the enemy plane burrowed into the clouds and disappeared.
Commander Yang returned to the ancient beacon tower, and he said to the senior deputy commander beside him: "The periphery of the stronghold in Sanjia Village has been cleared, and the Japanese commander of Laiyuan City will definitely send reinforcements." ”
It was really guessed correctly by Commander Yang, the Japanese commander stationed in Laiyuan County, got the stronghold of Sanjia Village in an emergency, and immediately sent more than 100 Japanese soldiers to run for reinforcements, approaching the vicinity of Sanjia Village, the second battalion of Song Zhida's Lei Jian One Regiment, which had already ambushed the enemy reinforcements here, suddenly burst into fierce gunfire.
The little devil who was attacked head-on, left a dozen corpses and fled back, and was driven back under the supervision of the devil commander.
Battalion commander Song Zhida ordered the soldiers: "With maximum firepower, destroy this Japanese army of more than 100 people." ”
The devils who were hit by fire again could not stop the fierce fire pressure of the second battalion at all, turned around and fled again, rushed up and turned back several times, like a donkey in the mill, being pinched back and forth, and finally killed more than 50 little devils, and then fled back to the city.
At this time, Lei Jian led the cavalry battalion, reconnaissance company and guard platoon to quickly rush to the battlefield of Dongtuanbao, met with the commander of the third regiment, Qiu, and reformulated the battle of attacking Dongtuanbao.
Commander Qiu led the 2nd and 3rd Battalions to attack the East Regiment Fort from the southwest, and Lei Jian led the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Battalions of the 1st Regiment that caught up to launch a strong attack on the enemy from the southeast.
At this time, Koda Daisa, who had stepped down as the commander of the Japanese army in the Dongtuanbao stronghold, was handing over to Ide Daisa in the central turret, when he suddenly heard a fierce gunfire from the periphery, and Koda Daisa said to the new commander: "Ide-kun, Tsuchibachi has been attacking my Dongtuanbao stronghold for a day and a night, and at this time the gunfire is fierce, and my proposal will continue to be commanded by me, I don't know ...... Ide-kun." ”
"Koda-kun, I am not familiar with the stronghold of the Japanese Imperial Army in Dongtuanbao, and everything is subject to your arrangement." This seniority is still shallow, especially when Koda leaves office, this young Dazuo has to lower his posture to show respect.
Captain Koda ordered all artillery towers, bunkers, bunkers, and forward single bunkers to destroy the attacking Eighth Route Army at all costs, and not to abandon their positions, retreat on their own, and disobey orders without mercy.
Before leaving office, the supreme commander of the North China Front Teaching Brigade must make the last beautiful move, swear to command the troops, and launch the greatest firepower counterattack against the attacking Lei Jian Du Regiment and the 1st Division and 3rd Regiment.
Lei Jian personally led the three main battalions of infantry, braving the enemy's dense bullets, and took the lead in rushing to the front.
Seeing that the strength of the Eighth Route Army had suddenly increased so much, and the firepower was so fierce, especially the Eighth Route Army unit that had been killed from the southeast, with excellent weapons, strong firepower, and brave combat, he shouted: "Launch poison gas bombs." ”
