Chapter 443: Approaching Tangshan

As soon as the soldiers of the mechanized infantry regiment rushed to the positions of these puppet armies, many soldiers found a large number of little devils not far away.

"Comrades! Attention, there are little devils ahead. ”

Many soldiers were reminding each other, and it didn't take long for everyone to see the little devils a few hundred meters ahead.

So, except for a few fighters who were dealing with these surrendered puppet troops, most of the fighters got on the car one after another, ready to fight again.

The soldiers were ready, and on the other side, thousands of little devils began to shoot at themselves.

It seems that the little devils are really bold, an infantry brigade dares to take the initiative to attack one of their mechanized infantry regiments, and the little devils are purely looking for death.

"Comrades! Rush over and kill all these little devils. ”

Quite a few warriors shouted.

Immediately, the soldiers of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment drove off-road vehicles and Type 39 armored personnel carriers straight towards the little devils, the terrain here was flat, which was very suitable for the charge of mechanized infantry.

Not only is the terrain flat here, but the terrain is flat within a range of several tens of kilometers around Tangshan, so Comrade Wu Youqing, commander of the 9th Column, divided two mechanized infantry regiments and two tank regiments into four routes to attack Tangshan.

These 4 teams, on such a flat terrain, are like 4 sharp swords, straight into Tangshan, the little devils should be difficult to resist, behind these 4 teams, there are also a large number of infantry soldiers.

The off-road vehicles and Type 39 armored personnel carriers of the mechanized infantry regiment slowly approached the little devils, and the bullets fired by the little devils hit these combat vehicles with a "bang, bang".

"Comrades! Fire! ”

With the order of the commander of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment, almost all off-road vehicles and Type 39 armored personnel carriers began to fire.

"Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly......"

There were still two or three hundred meters away from the little devils, almost all the 30mm cannons were fired, and many soldiers also used their AK-47 assault rifles to aim at the little devils.

As the soldiers fired back, the little devils immediately suffered, and many of them went directly to see their Aunt Amaterasu.

First of all, the machine guns of the little devils were mainly cleared by the 30mm machine guns, and the little devil machine guns were dumb fired, including several Type 92 heavy machine guns of the little devils.

Many little devil crooked machine guns were also blown up into the sky, and the seriously deformed crooked machine guns, the stumps and broken arms of the little devils, flew high with the air waves generated by the explosion.

The little devils who were still fighting happily, as almost all the machine guns were knocked out, the firepower of the little devils suddenly became much weaker, and many little devils saw this, and immediately picked up their grenades, which seemed to be ready to throw grenades at the off-road vehicles and armored vehicles that were getting closer and closer.

Some of the little devil grenadiers were also preparing to fire grenades at the vehicles of the mechanized infantry regiment at a distance of only one or two hundred meters, and it seemed that the little devils were still not afraid of death and had no intention of retreating.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Several explosions sounded in the chariot group of the first mechanized infantry regiment, the grenade caliber of the little devil is too small, this 50 mm caliber grenade, whether in front of off-road vehicles or in front of Type 39 armored personnel carriers, appears to be insufficient in power and limited in lethality.

When the soldiers saw that the little devil still dared to fire a grenade, they immediately increased their horsepower and rushed to the position of the little devil, a short distance of two or three hundred meters, that is, a blink of an eye.

After a while, before the little devils could fire a few grenades, a lot of off-road vehicles and Type 39 armored personnel carriers rushed up, and as more and more combat vehicles rushed up, even if the little devils resisted stubbornly, they could only be slaughtered.

The captain of the little devil's brigade, seeing that the tanks of the 36th Group Army were so strong, the grenades of his own troops basically could not blow up the armor of these tanks, and the Type 38 rifles of his own troops could not threaten these tanks.

At this time, the little devil captain remembered that his resistance was completely useless and he had to retreat, but the little devil looked around, and it was all the chariots of the 36th Group Army.

If you want to retreat now, it's obviously too late.

At this time, there were two off-road vehicles rushing towards the little devil captain, and obviously, the two off-road fighters found the little devil captain.

These twenty or thirty little devils gathered next to the captain of the little devil brigade, although the captain of the little devil brigade was protected, but with so many little devils together, the goal was also very obvious.

"Comrades! There seemed to be a few little devil officers over there, and everyone rushed over. ”

The soldiers on these two off-road vehicles, seeing the captain of the little devil brigade, everyone increased their horsepower and rushed over quickly, during which many little devils tried to resist these two off-road vehicles, but they were all killed by the soldiers with AK-47 assault rifles.

After a while, the soldiers approached this group of little devils, these twenty or thirty little devils, in a battle formation, carefully paying attention to the two off-road vehicles that were getting closer and closer, many little devils, seeing the off-road vehicles getting closer and closer, couldn't wait to raise their guns and shoot.

Immediately, the fighters also opened fire.

"Da, da, da..."

A burst of gunfire rang out, at least a dozen AK-47 assault rifles opened fire at the same time, and the little devils fell in large numbers, not only for half a minute, but the soldiers ran out of magazines, and none of these little devils were left, and all of them were killed, including the captain of the little devils.

The little devil officer uniform worn by the captain of the little devil brigade was hit by the soldiers, and the captain of the little devil brigade was at least hit by dozens of bullets and was completely beaten into a sieve.

In the distance, Wu Youqing, commander of the 9th Column, had already stepped out of his armored command vehicle and was watching the battle ahead with great interest in the presence of dozens of fighters, holding binoculars.

Seeing that the soldiers rushed to the position of the little devils and killed the little devils one after another, Wu Youqing was so happy that he applauded again and again, and beside him, many soldiers saw the highlights and kept cheering loudly.

Those puppet troops who surrendered, seeing that the little devils were constantly being killed, while the soldiers of the 36th Army suffered very few casualties, and the battle situation was completely one-sided.

These puppet soldiers, looking at it, secretly called it a fluke in their hearts, and thought in their hearts, fortunately, they were wise, and now they have surrendered, if they continue to resist, they will definitely be slaughtered like these little devils.

The battle between the first mechanized infantry regiment and the little devils lasted for half an hour, and most of the little devils were killed and wounded, and at this time, a cavalry regiment that followed behind also rushed over.

With more than 2,000 cavalry soldiers rushing forward, the cavalry regiment and the mechanized infantry regiment, a total of two regiments to clean up the remnants of the hundreds of little devils, no matter how stubborn the little devils are, it is useless.

After another ten minutes, the little devil infantry brigade was completely annihilated, and none of the little devils could escape, and the little devils who wanted to run were all chased and killed by the soldiers.

When the mechanized infantry regiment finished cleaning up these little devils, the troops attacking from several other sides also began to engage the little devils.

By one o'clock in the afternoon, battles were taking place in several directions outside Tangshan City, and many infantry regiments of the 9th Column also rushed over one after another and began to engage in continuous battles.

Inside the city of Tangshan.

The headquarters of the 39th Division of the Little Devils, the battle situation of the little devils on the front line, has been continuously summarized here, and the commander of the Little Devil Division still has a good understanding of the battle situation on the front line.

Now, the two sides have been fighting for two or three hours, and the first line of defense in the outermost part of Tangshan City has been broken through by the 9th column, and with the breakthrough of the first line of defense, the little devils have also lost two or three infantry brigades, nearly 3,000 little devils.

The first line of defense of the little devils is mainly based on the puppet army, a division of the puppet army has a total of seven or eight thousand people, plus three or four thousand little devils who supervise the battle, and these tens of thousands of people together build the first line of defense in the outermost part of Tangshan City.

However, the first line of defense of the little devils is really not very good, and the combat effectiveness of these seven or eight thousand puppet troops is extremely low, in the face of the fierce fire of the 9th column, in addition to more than 1,000 puppet troops were killed, the remaining five or six thousand puppet troops all surrendered and became prisoners.

However, the little devils who were supervising the battle in the back still resisted stubbornly, but the little devils couldn't resist for long, most of the little devils were killed, and only a few ran back.

At this point, the first line of defense of the little devils was broken through by the 9th column, five or six thousand people of the puppet army were captured, and nearly three thousand people were annihilated by the little devils.

Nearly 3,000 little devils died in just two or three hours, and this result not only made some little devil officers in the regimental headquarters of the little devil division unacceptable for a while, but also the commander of the little devil division, but he didn't expect it.

Before the battle, the commander of the 39th Division of the Little Devil Kawada Suesaburo had already attached great importance to the 36th Group Army and set up three lines of defense outside Tangshan City, but the current result greatly exceeded Kawada Suesaburo's expectations.

The Thirty-Sixth Army was too strong, Suesaburo Kawada thought to himself.

Suesaburo Kawada walked around the command hall and thought for a long time before he said with a fierce face: "Order the warriors who hold the second line of defense to fire special shells at the attacking troops of the 36th Army to block the attack of the 36th Army." ”

"Hey!" The little devil's chief of staff looked excited.

Next to them, many little devil commanders were also excited, and the little devils fantasized that the 36th Group Army suffered heavy casualties under the blow of large poison gas bombs.

"In addition, hurry up and send a report to Tianjin to ask for reinforcements."

Finally, the head of the Little Devil Division, Suesaburo Kawada, added.

Suesaburo Kawada knows the important surname of Tangshan's strategic location, and Tangshan is in the eyes of the little devils, which cannot be missed, but if he wants to hold on, it will be difficult to resist the powerful 36th Group Army with his own division.

Therefore, if the little devils want to hold on to Tangshan, they can only ask for reinforcements.
