Chapter 428: Attack from both sides
On the east bank of the Tang River, the little devils saw that the soldiers were getting closer and closer.
The little devils found that their sparse shooting could not stop the soldiers of the 36th Group Army from approaching, and many of the little devils were panicked in their hearts.
Some of the little devils may have been too anxious or too flustered, but they straightened up, held a Type 38 rifle, stood up and aimed at the soldiers in the river.
The little devils who shot were killed immediately because they stood up and the target was too big, and many of them were killed by the fighters on the small wooden boats in the river with AK-47 assault rifles.
Seeing that the little devils began to panic, many little devil officers raised their command knives, commanded the little devils, and ordered the little devils to calm down, and some little devil commanders also had an idea and began to direct the little devils to use grenadiers to shoot.
At first, it was just a few grenadiers of the little devils who fired grenades into the river, but it didn't take long for almost all the grenadiers of the little devils to start shooting grenades into the river, and the explosion of "boom, boom" sounded in the river, blowing up a column of water several meters high, some small wooden boats were blown up and swayed from side to side, and some small wooden boats were hit by grenades, and the soldiers began to suffer casualties again.
The grenadier canister of the little devil belongs to the ultra-light mortar, which is a curve shooting, and the little devils who fire grenades are basically hiding in the trenches or behind sandbags, and the bullets of the fighters basically can't hit these little devils.
Each infantry squad is armed with 1 or 2 grenadiers, and now, at least a dozen grenadiers are firing grenades into the river.
Fortunately, the little devils are now firing grenades under the fire of the soldiers, and they seem to be a little timid, and their accuracy is greatly reduced.
The grenadier canister of the little devil, with a caliber of 50 mm and a firing range of 200 meters, is just enough to make up for the gap between the mortar and the grenade, and now this situation is just convenient to use.
The soldiers who crossed the river saw that the little devils were firing grenades, but everyone was still relatively calm, and while suppressing the fire on the little devils on the shore, they rowed faster, and as long as they landed on the opposite bank, the situation was much better.
On the west bank of the Tang River, the commander of the 5th Column saw that the little devil was still so rampant, and immediately ordered loudly: "All mortars, give me a hard shot, don't care about the shells." ”
Just now, the mortars had stopped firing, and the firing lasted for nearly half an hour, and dozens of mortars fired a lot of shells at the positions of the little devils, and the shells of the two infantry regiments consumed nearly two-thirds.
Moreover, under the blows of so many 30-mm machine guns, machine guns and snipers, the firepower of the little devils gradually weakened, and the comrades who crossed the river were only a few dozen meters away from landing on the shore, so the mortar fire had stopped for several minutes.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the mortars stopped, the grenadiers of the little devils became rampant, so as soon as everyone got the order, they immediately began to fire again, and dozens of mortars began to roar again.
A direct-fire 30mm cannon may be powerless against these grenadiers who are hiding in trenches and behind sandbags and firing grenades, but mortars are different, and mortars are also curved guns, which can hit these little imp grenadiers.
Moreover, the shooting of the little devil grenadier just now had already revealed his position, and immediately, the little devil's grenadier was hit with precision by a large number of mortars.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Bursts of dense explosions sounded on the positions of the little devils, and many of the little devils were killed again, and many of the little devil grenadiers were also killed, and all of a sudden, the number of grenades fired into the river was greatly reduced, and the soldiers crossing the river were much less threatened.
The co-captain of the little devil, just now saw his more than a dozen grenadiers wielding, and he was still happy in his heart, and even a long-lost smile appeared on his face, but he didn't expect that the situation on the battlefield would change in an instant.
With the firing of a large number of mortars of the 36th Group Army, the situation was immediately reversed, not only killing a large number of little devils, but also basically losing the grenadiers of his own wing.
The captain of the little devil group looked around the battlefield, and saw that many small wooden boats in the river were very close to the shore, and the casualties of his own troops were nearly half.
Seeing this situation, the captain of the little devil wing was miserable.
Contrary to the mood of the little devil wing-leader, the soldiers saw that their mortars were showing their might again, and many soldiers immediately cheered.
Xie Zhendong, the commander of the 5th Column, saw through the telescope that the little devil on the other side was basically unable to raise his head due to the fierce artillery fire, and it seemed that the casualties of the little devil were not small, and Xie Zhendong's face showed a hint of joy.
When Xie Zhendong just put down the binoculars, a messenger trotted over all the way and happily reported: "Chief, our two tank regiments and mechanized infantry regiments have gone around the back of the little devils, and now they have occupied a favorable position, basically surround the little devils behind the little devils, and these three regiments have all asked for instructions, waiting for your order, chief." ”
Hearing this, Xie Zhendong was in a good mood and thought, these three groups are really timely.
"Pass my orders and attack the little devil immediately."
Xie Zhendong was full of energy, with joy and excitement, Xie Zhendong thought in his heart, this time I will attack the little devils on both sides and wipe out all these little devils.
On the surface of the Tang River.
The soldiers who crossed the river, many of them were only a dozen meters away from the east bank of the Tang River, and when they saw that the river bank was in front of them, the soldiers jumped off the wooden boats one after another, jumped into the waist-deep water, and shot while advancing towards the river bank.
Some of the little devils showed their heads and returned fire, and were immediately killed by the intensive fire of the AK-47, and under the blow of so many AK-47 assault rifles, the gunfire of the little devils was even more sparse.
Many little devil officers suddenly felt a half chill in their hearts when they saw that the soldiers had successfully crossed the river, and the little devils knew that as more and more soldiers of the 36th Group Army rushed over, they were afraid that it would be difficult for them to resist.
The soldiers, not rushing forward for long, finally stepped on the solid ground on the riverbank, dozens of meters ahead, or one or two hundred meters, there were a large number of little devil fortifications, and the little devils were shooting sparsely.
Many soldiers, seeing that they were getting closer to the little devil, immediately took out their grenades and threw them at the little devil's fortifications.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
An explosion sounded on the position of the little devils, blowing up a lot of little devils.
Some of the little devils saw the soldiers of the 36th Army getting closer and closer, and they were also ready to throw grenades at the soldiers, but many of the little devils were killed by the dense bullets as soon as they straightened up, and there were very few grenades that could be successfully thrown.
On the west bank of the Tang River, the soldiers saw that nearly 1,000 soldiers from the infantry regiment had landed on the other side of the river, and the second group of soldiers were also preparing to cross the river, in order not to accidentally injure the soldiers who were getting closer and closer to the little devils, the mortars, 30mm machine guns and machine guns on this side gradually stopped shooting, and only those snipers were still there to shoot at the little devils.
As soon as the soldiers here stopped shooting, the little devils suddenly felt a light pressure, and many little devil officers wanted to command their soldiers to fight back, and many of the little devil officers had already raised their command knives high, and they only had to shout slogans.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Several explosions sounded in succession on the little devil's position, and a group of little devil officers were obviously stunned by these cannon sounds, and they stubbornly poured into their mouths with a "Kill it!" Swallowed back.
Many little devil officers saw that not far behind them, a large number of Type 39 tanks appeared hideously, and the thick barrels of the black holes were facing them.
"Bell, bell, bell"
The command knives in the hands of many little devil officers fell to the ground.
Many little devils thought frantically in their hearts, where did these tanks come from, my God, there are so many tanks, how can this battle be fought.
With the appearance of these tanks, there were also quite a few armored personnel carriers and off-road vehicles, and the combat vehicles of the three regiments blocked all the back roads of the little devils, and the little devils were surrounded.
The captain of the little devil also saw these chariots, and the captain of the little devil also opened his mouth wide, his face was pale, and the captain of the little devil thought in his heart, his troops were attacked by the 36th Army on both sides, and it was still such tanks and armored vehicles that attacked him.
My God, this is just a knife to kill chickens, I am only an infantry wing, and at this time there are more than half of the casualties, can I use so many chariots?
These tanks, armored vehicles, and off-road vehicles that rushed over ignored the expressions of the little devils, and fired at the little devils behind one after another, but the little devils were attacked by the enemy in the back, and the death toll immediately surged.
In less than an hour, that is, before six o'clock in the afternoon, the little devils were completely annihilated, and the little devils were wiped out in a field unit, and more than 3,000 people were all wiped out.
Seeing that the little devils had all been wiped out, and now there was still more than an hour before it got dark, the commander of the 5th Column ordered the soldiers to hurry up and build a bridge, while the happy Zhang Yunfei sent a good news.
At the same time as the fierce battle between the 5th column and the little devils, a group of men and horses of the Kwantung Army of the little devils had already passed through Jinzhou, and the vanguard had reached Huludao.
If you see the scale of these little devils' reinforcements, everyone will definitely be surprised, the little devils seem to have made a lot of money and sent so many troops to reinforce them.
It seems that tomorrow, the 5th Column will have another fierce battle, and the 5th Column is a column, and I don't know if it can hold Qinhuangdao.
