Chapter 13: Changing Guards (15)

Li Shigui's defeat has not yet been reported, and Wang Zhanlin's offensive on the Eastern Front has begun.

The Japanese puppet coalition army had already known about Li Benyi's formation, so they strutted their troops to a distance of 500 meters from Li Benyi's ambush formation and stopped. Wang Zhanlin accompanied the Japanese infantry brigade Yantian Dazuo to the high slope on the right, and in the ninety-eight seven-fold telescope, Li Benyi's formation was clear at a glance.

"Wang Jun, do you know what a local chicken tile dog is?" Pointing to Li Benyi's battle formation, Shiota Daisa said lightly: "The infantry of a regiment, distributed in the straggler trenches, has no depth, no artillery fire, and with these more than 1,000 rifles, it is delusional to want to block the pace of our march!" ”

Wang Zhanlin bowed slightly, his face was full of smiles, and said, "Taijun is wise, Taijun is wise." ”

Yantian Dazuo was not excited by Wang Zhanlin's flattery, and said with a hideous face: "I thought that if I attacked my Shengqiao base camp and secretly killed my special forces, I would honestly withdraw from the army." They were wrong, I wouldn't retreat, I would just move forward, I lost the special forces, I still have a killer move, and I can easily take down any garbage that stands in my way. ”

"Of course, of course, Taijun is mighty." Wang Zhanlin's expression was more like his father-in-law in front of Lafayette.

"Hahahaha!" The Japanese are small, but their laughter is not small, like a scream, and they can even make echoes in the valley.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Wang Zhanlin smiled and asked, "How is Taijun going to tear through the front line of defense?" ”

"It's very simple." Shiota Daisa's left foot took a step outward, and suddenly the lap leg was not so obvious, and his left hand pressed the command knife down, and the blade of the knife was cocked in, looking at it from the side, like a cat's tail. The right hand is stretched out, and there is a great tendency to point the country. He said: "The opponent has set up a long snake formation, and the trenches on both sides extend uphill, and the meaning is obvious, I will attack his middle, and he will hit me with both sides." I don't understand, how can this Li Benyi judge that I will definitely hit his middle lane? ”

"Isn't Taijun preparing to attack the central part?" Wang Zhanlin didn't understand, according to his understanding of the Japanese, they were just a tendon, and if they had a mid-lane target, they would definitely attack the middle. This Japanese actually has a mid-lane non-attack, which is quite unusual.

"Hehehehehe!" Shiota Osa smiled proudly and said, "I have artillery and infantry artillery, and the accuracy of using infantry artillery at a distance of one thousand meters is not ordinarily high. I ignored the opponent's center and left flank, and only hit his right flank, and hit him with infantry until his right flank was honestly withdrawn. ”

"Tricks!" Wang Zhanlin praised it and said: "When the time comes, we will send people to occupy the opponent's right-wing position, and then fight along the position like cutting bamboo branches. ”

"Wrong!" Shiota Daisa stretched out a finger, waved it in front of him, and said, "When the time comes, your department will occupy the right flank." I had the artillery turn to the left flank of the opposing side, and after beating the left flank back, I let the machine gun squadron occupy it. At this time, it is the time for us to attack in a big way, you fight from the right flank to the center, the machine gun squadron from the left flank to the center, and the infantry squadron under the cover of artillery to the middle. ”

"What if the opponent's wings don't retreat?" Wang Zhanlin is very anxious.

"Hehehehe, Wangjun, you don't have to worry." Shiota Osa said with a smile: "I didn't bring much other things with me on this expedition, but there was only one thing that I brought a lot, and that was shells and spare barrels. The division and regiment headquarters assigned me an additional artillery squad and increased the number of infantry guns from two to four, with the aim of giving full play to the role of artillery. Wang Jun, let you see today whether the opponent's body is hard or our shells are hard. ”

Wang Zhanlin moved his gaze from Li Benyi's position in the distance back to his camp, and then set his eyes on the artillery position about 300 meters away from the central camp, and then extended to the baggage camp about 200 meters away from the artillery position. There, mules and horses neighed, carts gathered, shell boxes on the carts were being unpacked, and in the sun, the shells that tore the oilskin paper to wipe off the protective oil shone with blue light, and there were quite a few of them.

Not only Wang Zhanlin's eyes were focused on the shells, but Shi Chong's eyes had long been fixed on the shells and there was no way to take them back, and he swallowed the saliva in his mouth I don't know how many times, and he couldn't wait to stretch out a long hand and get all those shells into his arms.

"Obediently, if all these shells are returned, the Liao cannon will become a generous unit of our field supplement regiment, and in the future, if you want to get artillery support, it is a matter of words." Liu Wukui said.

"It's not just shells, you look at the spare barrel of that car, fuck, it's not just the spare barrel, but also the spare machine gun barrel, Liu Wukui, that's what you and I need." The machine-gun squadron of this devil infantry brigade is all equipped with crutches. This is Zhao Sheng'an's voice.

Anqing Qingye Lian was loaded with a crooked handle, and against them, Liu Wukui didn't even have the heart to capture it, but as soon as he saw the crutches, Liu Wukui's eyes lit up.

The crutch is not just a simple upgrade of the crooked handle, it is not much better than the average in comparison. The crooked handle is the old product of the stereotyped production in 1922 in the eleventh year of Taisho, and the crutch handle is a new product in 1936, the crooked handle not only continues the advantages of the crooked handle, but also incorporates the characteristics of the Czech style, some people say that the crooked handle and the advantages of the Czech style are added together, that is, the crutch handle. If you compare these two types of machine guns, the management says that if the crooked handle is an ordinary waist knife, the crutch handle is a hundred refined steel knife. The biggest advantage over a crooked handle using the same bullet is that the overheated barrel can be quickly replaced, ensuring that the machine gun can continue to work. Crutches are also a good commodity in the Japanese army, and ordinary troops cannot be equipped at all, but those who can be equipped with crutches are not the main force of the main force, or they are quasi-main divisions with a certain background or want to fight on the front line. Mo Di has an almost obsessive preference for this machine gun, with the influence of Japanese instructors when he was in the military academy, and his understanding of weapons after participating in the war. Therefore, his field supplement regiment tried every means to constantly get crutches and eliminate crooked ones, so that the machine guns of the guard battalion could all be crutches. In the past few years of fighting in Anqing, Mo Di and his subordinates have never seen the Japanese army using crutches, and this time they saw it for the first time, how could they not be ecstatic.

"Battalion commander, the artillery shell is a small matter, but the crutch is a big matter." Liu Wukui said with a salivating face.

Shi nodded his head, he was also looking at the barrel of the small half car, with a golden light in his eyes.

The Japanese offensive, as they had previously designed, unfolded as intended.

In the face of the Japanese attack, Li Benyi smiled bitterly after a moment's pause, how could he meet a Japanese commander who did not play his cards according to common sense! Just when Li Benyi decided to let the reserves reinforce the right flank, the confidential staff officer sent a telegram, and after glancing at the telegram, Li Ben smiled.

After a night's struggle, Liu Qinglong's remnants returned to the northern foot of Yefu Mountain, carrying the seriously wounded and the lightly wounded, walking well and not embarrassed. According to Liu Qinglong's telegram, there was a battalion of people he could fight, and all the ammunition was gathered together, which was enough to fight an attack, and Li Benyi was asked in the telegram for instructions on whether to quickly return to the camp and enter the ambush sequence, or to attack the Japanese base camp from behind.

With Liu Qinglong's miraculous army, Li Benyi had a big bargaining chip, and he asked the troops on the right flank to withdraw from their positions, not to dance in the enemy's artillery fire and make senseless sacrifices. Li Benyi's consideration was very simple, since the Japanese army focused on his right flank, he might as well let the other side, if the other side attacked but did not occupy it, just let people go up after the artillery shells were transferred. After all, the other side only has four guns, and it is impossible to take care of the others and take care of the right flank. If the Japanese army sends people to occupy the right flank and engage in a melee with the other side, the advantage of the melee is that the enemy and the enemy are mixed together, and the opponent's artillery fire will not be bombed indiscriminately.

Seeing that Wang Zhanlin's puppet 3rd battalion occupied the right flank and the artillery fire shifted to the left, Li Benyi ordered the defenders on the left side to quietly withdraw from the position, get some rags and throw them on the position to let the Japanese artillery fire enjoy it.

Just as the Japanese artillery fire turned to the center, and only one infantry squadron rushed to Li Benyi's position, Liu Qinglong's stormtrooper appeared in the flank and rear of the Japanese camp. At this time, the Japanese camp was empty, with only an infantry brigade headquarters of about 30 people and two artillery squads. Under Liu Qinglong's ferocious onslaught, the guards of the brigade headquarters carried Yantian Dazuo, who shouted "hold on, hold on", and ran into the mountains on the left in a panic, and more than 100 soldiers of the artillery squad also threw away the hot infantry guns and fled in all directions. At the same time, Zhao Shengan led the assault company to go all out into the Japanese army's baggage brigade, and the deputy company commander Zhang Chongshan took the lead, holding a crutch in his arms, shooting while running, and the barrel of the crutch was also loaded with a bright bayonet.

Liu Wukui did not pounce on the baggage company, but rushed to the Japanese camp at the fastest speed and joined Liu Qinglong, because the Japanese puppet army that had occupied the left and right flanks before saw that the situation was not good, and quickly returned to help, and the infantry squadron that rushed to half of the middle of the attack also turned back.

Faced with the Japanese army who were killed in three ways, Liu Qinglong's initial idea was to shoot the horse and leave. When he saw Liu Wukui's men rushing in front of him, tearing down the camp and setting up a temporary position in front of the Japanese camp, Liu Qinglong was happy. He knew Liu Wukui, the 12 crutches in Liu Wukui's first platoon, the 18 grenadiers in the second platoon, and the six Jinling Minmin Type 24 water-cooled heavy machine guns in the third platoon. Just when Liu Qinglong shouted and entered the position, the crutch made a joyful roar as soon as possible, Liu Wukui's idea was very clear, no matter whether the Japanese puppet army that returned to the aid entered the effective firing range, first scare the other party from the momentum, as for the bullets, there is no shortage of buddies.

When the sound of six Jinling producer Type 24 Makqin water-cooled heavy machine guns appeared, Li Benyi was also stunned, who was copying the back road of the Japanese army, the Japanese did not have the Makqin water-cooled heavy machine gun, and Liu Qinglong did not have the Makqin water-cooled heavy machine gun. No matter who it was, the opportunity was rare, Li Benyi took out Browning and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me." ”

Wei Jiebo realized that this was an excellent opportunity, and also shouted loudly and rushed out after Li Benyi, and the division and regiment charged forward, and the brothers were greatly encouraged, and their spirit rose greatly, and all of them killed, shouting like thunder. Only the deputy division commander Cui Jian was left standing alone in the trenches.

What a scuffle!

The first to solve the battle was Zhao Sheng'an and his assault battalion, the unarmed baggage team in front of Zhang Chongshan's assault company, how powerless, after a magazine was fired, the baggage transport squadron could no longer find a living person. Zhao Shengan let the second and third platoons stay, and Zhang Chongshan led a platoon of crutches, each of whom picked up a box of Arizaka bullets in the baggage of the Japanese army, carried them on their shoulders, and ran to reinforce Liu Wukui.

The twelve crutches in a row of Zhang Chongshan's assault company became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, and the sudden increase in the density and intensity of firepower suddenly increased the casualties of the Japanese puppet army who returned to help.

The difference is that Wang Zhanlin chose the northern foot of Yefu Mountain, while the Japanese army chose the direction of Yantian Dazuo's retreat, the southern mountainous area.

Li Benyi is a ruthless man, and it is his hobby to fight water dogs, the first battalion goes north, the second battalion goes south, and he chases after him!
