Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 431 The Difficult War of Resistance ([-])
On June 6, around nine o'clock in the morning, in Changping, the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army launched an attack on the position of the Mechanized Brigade.Prior to this, a regiment of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army had just conquered Nankou, thus forming a semi-encirclement of Changping and directly threatening Wanping.

After the brand-new Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Wanping has gone through the baptism of war, and now it has become a ruin.Among the civilians, most of them are railway workers have all been evacuated, and now stationed here is a self-defense force of railway workers organized by Li Tieshu when he was there.

Wanping is the west gateway of Beiping. Qin Dechun was worried that the failure of Wanping would have an unpredictable impact on Beiping. After receiving Hu Tong's situation, he immediately dispatched a security brigade to Wanping.

They still set their sights on the outskirts of Changping City. After the suppressive shelling, about one squadron of devils rushed out of the simple fortifications and rushed towards the first line of defense of the mechanized infantry brigade.

The role of artillery in warfare in this era is self-evident.Especially the destructive power produced by large-caliber heavy artillery is enough to make weak-willed soldiers lose their fighting spirit.After the heavy artillery, the machine brigade's position was in a mess.The trenches dug by the 120rd Battalion after two days of hard work were blown to dust. Among them, one or two students from time to time fell in a pool of blood unyieldingly.The Mechanized Brigade has four regiments under its jurisdiction, namely the Mechanized Step One Regiment-Three Regiments, the Tank Regiment, and a self-propelled artillery battalion.The self-propelled artillery battalion is equipped with four [-]mm howitzers and eight [-]mm field guns.Compared with the little devil's heavy artillery brigade, the caliber and quantity of the artillery were not proportional at all, so he was not stupid enough to shoot at the opponent.

After the sound of the cannon, He Zhengsheng stood at the front whistle, picked up the binoculars and looked at the position of the third battalion of the Mechanized Step One Regiment, the muscles on his face spasmed involuntarily.

The role of Ouyang Yun in forming a mobile force is to use its speed advantage to intersperse and serve the execution of tactics such as sabotage and encirclement.In other words, the Mechanized Brigade is good at attacking, but not good at defending.It is really a last resort to use the Mechanized Brigade as an emergency force.

This was the seventh prolonged bombardment since the Japanese camped opposite the Mechanized Brigade.These seven bombardments caused great casualties to the Third Battalion. Just based on the statistics of the battle damage in the previous six times, the third battalion accounted for more than 130 people in the first trench.

The casualties of a company, that is to say, just the shelling of the little devils caused the third battalion to lose one-third of its combat power.At this time, the battalion commander of the third battalion had his eyes red with anger, and blood was seeping from the corners of his eyes.Picking up the walkie-talkie, he shouted, "Traveler! Where's our artillery? Where's our artillery? What's Li Mazi doing?"

Li Mazi was the battalion commander of the self-propelled artillery battalion.

What is Li Mazi doing now?He was sitting on the ground with his head sullen and smoking a cigarette. His body was full of unwilling eyes from the soldiers of the Artillery Battalion—the brothers in front were bleeding and dying, but they couldn't help them.

He Zheng lowered the binoculars and took the walkie-talkie from the deputy brigade commander Lin Deqin.He swallowed two mouthfuls of spit, and said in a hoarse voice, "Wang Dayou, I am He Zhengjiang. I emphasize again, your task is to hold the ground for six hours. During this period, you will not receive any support."

Hearing He Zhengjiang's voice without any emotion - at least Wang Dayou thought so, he scolded angrily: "Grandma, He Zhengjiang, you are letting the brothers die!"

The muscles on He Zhengjiang's face convulsed again, but he just said calmly, "Follow the order!" Then, he pressed the switch of the walkie-talkie.

"He Zhengjiang, you're going to die like a bastard!" Wang Dayou was still cursing.He came from the first regiment of the former Gendarmerie. In the old army, he had always been depressed in front of a private because of his shit temper. Now he is the commander of the third battalion of the first regiment of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade, but his temper has not changed at all.He cursed a few more words, but he didn't hear any reply before he put it down sullenly.

On his right, the battalion instructor Fu Qiangpo reminded: "Old Wang, the little devil is approaching."

Wang Dayou glared at him, straightened his helmet, looked at the eyes of the soldiers around him, pulled out his pistol and waved it, and said, "Brothers, let's fight them!"

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Fight."

Wang Dayou was lying on the edge of the trench, glanced at the devil on the opposite side, and squeaked: "Pull it closer and hit it! Don't save bullets! Beat it hard!"

Fu Qiangpo likes to use Weiqing-style assault rifles, pulls the bolt of the gun, puts all the magazines on his body in front of him, and asks for two grenades from a soldier next to him, and reads: "150 meters, 100 meters, 80 meters—"

Wang Dayou suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Hit!"

At a distance of 80 meters, it has entered the best range of Wei Qing's assault rifle.Following Wang Dayou's yell, dozens of grenades flew out, and at the same time, the shots of various Qubing-style machine guns and Weiqing-style assault rifles rang out.Amidst the gunshots, the devils who rushed to the front fell down like rice grains.

"Lie down! Cover!" The little devil's screams were mixed with the gunshots and could be faintly heard. Eight-style unique gunshots.The sound of grenades breaking through the sky sounded, and that was the launch of the little devil's grenade launcher.

After a few battles with Xue Bingjun, the little devil gradually learned to be good.Facing the firepower of the Weiqing-style assault rifle, which was not inferior to that of the light machine gun, the little devil no longer charged with a sullen head, and knew how to fire and suppress.

The battle began to enter a stalemate. However, thanks to the trench protection, the casualties of the third battalion were much less than those of the little devils.This time the battle lasted for about a quarter of an hour. In the end, a squadron of devils left more than fifty corpses and retreated.

As soon as the devil was out of range, many soldiers immediately sat down on the floating dirt in the trench.Wang Dayou cursed angrily: "Get up, get up, hurry up and strengthen the fortifications, and repair the artillery holes, there must be shelling under the little devil."

Wang Dayou was in charge of commanding the operations, while Fu Qiangpo was in charge of checking the number of casualties and rescuing the wounded.Later, he walked up to Wang Dayou, and said sadly, "Another eleven brothers died, and five were seriously injured. I have let the health workers carry them down."

Wang Dayou stood still holding the shovel, suddenly spit out a mouthful of phlegm, swung the shovel even harder, and shouted: "Grandma, it's a big deal to hang here, He Zhengjiang, Li Mazi, if I don't Hang up, I have to go to the little chief to file a lawsuit with him. The little devil’s cannon is rampant, and he hides such a good cannon, grandma, he thinks he will have a baby if he hides it?!”
