Chapter 600: Retaliation of the Japanese Army
When the shelling stopped, Captain Shaozo did not hesitate, he immediately gave the order to evacuate, he knew very well that if he did not retreat quickly, he would have to explain these troops here.
Seeing that there were only more than 100 cavalry left in a cavalry brigade of more than 300 cavalry, Captain Shaozo would not think that his infantry had the ability to fight tanks.
What's more, the Chinese troops had more than thirty pieces of artillery, and with such artillery strength, the infantry rushed over completely looking for death.
What happened to the transport troops, Captain Shaozo didn't care at all, and now he was more concerned about whether his troops could be evacuated safely.
The Japanese cavalry and infantry chose the same, they desperately retreated to the rear, and the infantry only hated themselves for running too slowly.
In a short time, the infantry reinforced by the Japanese army disappeared without a trace.
The two companies of the infantry battalion immediately went out in trucks to clean up the booty, and some of the surviving horses were gathered together, and even the dead horses were collected, and these killed horses were also collected, and these killed horses were edible, which was good food for the troops who had difficulty eating a full meal.
The ambush force was a clean blow to the Japanese transport troops, it was not a perfect battle of annihilation, but it was a battle with the most gains.
Rifles, machine guns, submachine guns, grenadiers, mortars, bullets, shells, food, all sorts of things are countless.
At one o'clock in the morning, the convoy began to enter Binh Dinh County, and the soldiers who remained in Binh Dinh County immediately responded.
A large number of materials were transported directly to the county seat, and all the people involved in the transportation were rewarded with food and some daily necessities.
Large pieces of horse meat were divided, and the people returned to their homes with their belongings with joy.
Of course, when the people left, Sun Weiguo took out the little ocean left, and he gave each of the people who helped with the transportation a piece of ocean, although it was not much, but Sun Weiguo thanked them, after all, they risked their lives to help the new second brigade.
The county seat of Pingding County began to be full of joy, and the soldiers looked at the mountains of loot, and their faces were happy.
Shen Wei and other brigade leaders are even happier, with these materials, the new second brigade will not have to worry about food in the short term.
After Sun Weiguo returned to Pingding County, he came directly to the regimental headquarters of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, and the cadres above the company level of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment had already begun to assemble at the regimental headquarters.
This was the first battle of the 6th Cavalry Regiment, and although the troops won the battle, many problems were still exposed in the operation.
After the war, this was a way to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, and Sun Weiguo was naturally very tired now, but he still insisted that every company commander sum up the shortcomings of his troops.
The summary meeting of the 6th Cavalry Regiment lasted until about 5 o'clock in the morning, and every officer had dark circles under his eyes, and the diary they carried recorded a lot of words.
At six o'clock in the morning, Sun Weiguo announced the end of the meeting, and Sun Weiguo announced at the same time that there was no training task today, but all units should be ready for battle.
The Japanese troops suffered great losses, and according to their character, they would definitely retaliate.
After a night's time, the Japanese troops, who had suffered heavy losses, naturally would not give up.
Nakamura Shizuo, the commander of the 108th Wing of the 104th Infantry Brigade of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Yangquan County, began to enter Pingding County with his troops, and at the same time, the 105th Wing of the 104th Brigade of the Japanese Army in Xiyang County also launched an operation under the leadership of the commander of the Nakasa Wing, Sutaka Kudo.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the position of the first company of the first battalion of the pre-1st regiment set up in Hujiazhuang Village, Guanshan Town, began to encounter Japanese artillery shelling, and half an hour after the Japanese shelling, a Japanese infantry brigade began to appear in front of the position of the first company, and the Japanese began to attack the first company.
The Japanese troops were swearing to rush towards the position of the first company, and they believed that they would have no problem in capturing a company-level position of the new second brigade with one brigade.
But before the Japanese could approach the position of the 1st Battalion and the 1st Company, the 1st Battalion of the New 2nd Brigade began to carry out long-range artillery bombardment.
LIANG ZERUI, THE ARTILLERY COMMANDER AND COMMANDER OF THE FIRST ARTILLERY BATTALION, PERSONALLY FIRED, FOUR 105MM CANNONS, FOUR 105MM FIELD GUNS, AND FOUR 100MM HOWITZERS BEGAN TO FIRE, AND LARGE-CALIBER ARTILLERY WITH A RANGE OF MORE THAN 10,000 METERS BEGAN TO FIRE A SALVO, AND TWELVE SHELLS FIRED AT THE JAPANESE TROOPS WITHOUT WARNING.
During this period of time, Liang Zerui not only instructed the artillery of the whole brigade to conduct training, but also measured every place in the entire Pingding County, especially the positions garrisoned by various units, and Liang Zerui was able to clearly grasp the shooting of Zhu Yuan.
Twelve shells were fired, and the shells landed accurately into the Japanese infantry attacking line.
Although the Japanese troops opened a long line of skirmishers, the explosion of twelve shells still brought them more than 50 casualties.
The devil soldiers paid for the casualties, and the captain of the Shaozuo brigade who commanded the troops to fight had a heavy expression on his face, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
An infantry squadron began to quickly approach the position, but this infantry squadron was soon hit by a Maxim heavy machine gun, a 60mm mortar, three light machine guns, and three grenadiers, and the Japanese infantry squadron paid more than 20 casualties in an instant.
The twelve heavy guns continued, and ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, during which the Japanese suffered more than a hundred casualties, but they had not yet reached a hundred meters from the position.
The machine gun company of the first battalion has begun to be reinforced by the troops of the second company under the leadership of the battalion commander Huang Gang, and two infantry companies and one machine gun company have strengthened the position.
The Japanese units again launched a group charge with the squadron as an echelon, but their charge did not have any effect.
When the Japanese suffered more than one infantry squadron, Shizuo Nakamura, the commander of the 52nd Wing, called off the attack, and he immediately reported the situation.
At the same time, here in Zhangzhuang Town, the 105th Wing of the Japanese Army, led by Wing Commander Kudo Sutakakasa, also launched an attack.
The situation of the 105th Wing was even worse, their troops had not yet started their operation, they were subjected to a joint artillery bombardment of the 2nd Artillery Battalion and the Mounted Artillery Battalion, and after the shelling of more than 30 artillery pieces had ended, the 105th Wing of the Armored Battalion, the Cavalry Battalion, and the 105th Infantry Battalion entered an infantry brigade in Binh Dinh County and launched a fierce attack.
The tanks of the armored battalion quickly disrupted the Japanese ranks, the cavalry battalion cooperated with the tanks to slaughter the Japanese infantry, and the infantry battalion quickly arrived at the battlefield by truck, and they set up positions nearby to cover the actions of the armored battalion and the cavalry battalion.
The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 105th Wing suffered more than four hundred casualties!
