Chapter 319: The Chahar Detachment Driven Crazy
It’s over.
After reading the telegram sent by Miyamoto Shigeru in his office, Takeshita Shun smiled bitterly: "In the short term, there will be no possibility of the northern battlefield moving south again."
"Captain, there is a lot of buzz in Tokyo about the killing of the royal envoy on the northern front. Could it be related to the war situation on the northern front?"
How can it not be related?
Takeshita Shun put down the telegram; "The 14th Division has no combat effectiveness, but there is still a Chahar Detachment that has combat effectiveness. This force is also very strong. If we don't defeat them, how can the several corps in the Henan direction have a chance to move south? They will be delayed in Henan forever."
"Captain, what you mean is that what happened in Tokyo this time was actually a plot by Wuhan. But how can they stop the Chahar Detachment?"
Takeshita Shun shook his head again; "No, it's not Wuhan's plan. Wuhan's current focus is on dealing with the Tenth Army. This plan is the plan of the First Theater, and even the plan of my old classmate."
It's him again.
Miyamoto Shigeru frowned; "The captain is right, but his independent regiment is not at the Chahar detachment, it is 30 to 40 kilometers away. Once they move, it will be..."
"Do you think he will still be at the original station?" Takeshita Shun laughed; "I'm afraid his independent regiment has already changed into Sichuan Army uniforms and is ready for battle in front of the Chahar Detachment."
"But their tanks..." Shigeru Miyamoto still didn't quite believe it. The Independent Regiment was capable of fighting, but it mainly relied on tanks for attacking. The Japanese army was already prepared, and their tanks probably couldn't move at all.
"If the tanks can't move, then their anti-aircraft machine guns can't move either." Takeshita Shun interrupted Miyamoto Shigeru.
Boom boom... boom boom boom...
The Sichuan Army's position was under fierce attack and artillery bombardment from more than a thousand people of the enemy's Chahar Detachment. The bombers in the air returned again, targeting the Sichuan Army's second line of defense.
"The bombers are coming. It seems that the Sichuan Army can't stop them." Fang Shengli glanced at the small black dot coming from the sky and said to Zhou Weiguo in front of the bunker.
Zhou Weiguo handed the telescope to Zhao Shouweitian, then returned to his seat next to him and said with a smile, "We didn't intend to let them hold out for too long, we just wanted them to attract the Japanese troops here.
At this point, he turned his head and looked at Gao Yun next to him; "Is the armored convoy ready?"
Since the tanks could not get through, Zhou Weiguo could only use the excuse of transporting supplies to the Sichuan Army to transport anti-aircraft machine guns, and the armored vehicles were left in their original locations. This time, trucks were mainly used for the attack.
"Everything is ready. Ten trucks without anti-aircraft machine guns are equipped with heavy machine guns." Gao Yun's answer made Zhou Weiguo pinch his hands; "Go down and prepare. When the Japanese troops come up, we will launch an attack."
The troops have changed into the uniforms of the Sichuan Army. They don't have a lot of soldiers, just three battalions and a machine gun company. The artillery is hiding in the back, intending to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
Chaoxiang Xiuling also came. It was the first time for her to experience such a scene. She was a little at a loss in the sound of artillery fire, not knowing whether to cover her ears or run away.
"Cover your ears with your hands, open your mouth, and don't crawl on the ground," Zhou Weiguo said, and came to Xiao Ya.
When the regiment headquarters has nothing to do, they will help collect the magazines that have been used up and then reload them here. If there are extra magazines, they will be filled with bullets here and placed in the magazine box next to them.
Machine guns consume a lot of energy quickly, and light machine guns are operated by two people in a group, one ammunition handler and one shooting officer.
Zhao Xiang Xiu Ling saw that no one covered their ears, and saw Xiao Ya and the others calmly loading bullets there. She felt a little embarrassed, so she squatted down next to Xiao Ya, picked up the magazine, and loaded the ammunition in a professional manner. Then she asked in confusion, "Sister Xiao Ya, aren't you afraid?"
Xiao Ya put the loaded magazine aside, glanced at her and said with a smile, "Once you get used to it, you won't be afraid anymore."
Accustomed to it? Zhao Xiang Xiuling blinked and suppressed a bullet and hummed; "Sister Xiao Ya, you used to be a teacher."
"Yes, the teacher at Nanjing Girls' Middle School, Shen Xin too, but later on, we all joined the army and lost our families. Even if we educated people, what was the point?"
Xiao Ya's bitter smile made Chao Xiang Xiuling stunned for a moment and sighed, "I am also homeless."
"Don't be sad here, cover your ears quickly, the bombers are coming." Zhou Weiguo saw that she was still sad, took out two cotton balls and stuffed them into her ears, and added: "Don't run around, and don't lie down, you can't get up if you lie down."
"Why?" Chao Xiang Xiuling looked up at Zhou Weiguo and asked.
"The shock wave from an aerial bomb will shatter all your internal organs. How can you survive?"
Boom boom boom...
As soon as the words fell, the Japanese air force's shells fell. The explosion made the bunkers tremble. It seemed that if they were not careful, everyone here would be buried.
Chaoxiang Xiuling was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed. No one present laughed at all this. At least she was the only one who was lucky. There were several radio soldiers who had just been assigned here and they wet their pants.
There was really no one who didn't cry or make a fuss the first time he went to the battlefield, but after listening to it, he got used to it.
"Commander, the first battalion called and said they suffered heavy losses. We are requesting the anti-aircraft machine guns to fire into the air."
The soldier on the phone was reporting the situation.
"Reinforcements? We are the Sichuan Army, not the Central Army. What is Liu Jun thinking?" Zhou Weiguo turned his head and shouted.
Sano Tadayoshi looked at the observation port and turned his head; "Lao Zhou, their air force is strafing at low altitude, which will increase our casualties. Let the light machine guns fire into the air to intercept them."
The Sichuan Army was not fully equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns, and even light machine guns were not even very well equipped.
Zhou Weiguo lowered his head, thought for a while and nodded; "Let the machine guns stop them for a while, tell them not to go too far, or he won't be fooled if we expose our firepower equipment."
Not long after the bombers left, the Sichuan Army came back in small groups in the distance.
Zhou Weiguo quickly sent someone to help them retreat to the rear. Not long after, Sano Tadayoshi at the observation post turned around and said to him, "Come up."
Kuroki was so angry after being beaten up by the Sichuan Army a few days ago.
He came to the front line in person, but he didn't expect that Terauchi Juichi told him not to do anything. He was holding his breath. Now that he got the news of the attack, he rushed to the front line with a cry.
He is the one commanding the current attack, and it took less than half an hour to break through the defense line of the brigade in front. They are determined to wipe out this Sichuan Army division to vent their anger for being provoked.
Asaka Hidei's instigation plan was correct, and it directly broke Kuroki's defense. This was a life-and-death game.
Well, a madman who has lost his mind will attack madly and will not know how to stop, especially when they have the upper hand.
"Come on, come on, they...are these people fucking crazy?" Zhou Weiguo originally planned to not leave now that they were here, but looking at the other party's situation, he felt that these people were really crazy.
