Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 461 The Decisive Battle at Changping (Seventeen)
On this day, fierce battles broke out in many places in Jicha, among which Wangjiawei fought the most.

The strength of the Xuebing Army in Wangjiawei is only Zhang Yantian's special police second column and the third brigade of Xueyi Division.At first Ouyang Yun wanted to keep the guard group, but was opposed by all the generals including Zhang Yantian.But what they faced was nearly five Japanese divisions.

According to Ouyang Yun's arrangement, the battle at Wangjiaxu took place first in front of the small river in front of the hill.The first battalion of the third regiment of the second column of the special police was responsible for the first round of blocking and luring tasks.As for the Japanese army, it was the crippled Mixed First Brigade that took charge of the first round of attack.The reason why Sakai Koji wanted to fight for this seemingly unfavorable first attack task was to wash away the setbacks he encountered at the iron gate.

The Japanese army attached great importance to honor. Therefore, although no one showed it, the generals of the [-]st Mixed Brigade, such as Sakai Koji, who had low self-esteem, still saw the mockery and sneer in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of other troops.

Devils who have never had direct contact with Xuebingjun will not regard Xuebingjun as a real opponent. The concept of "the second strongest army in the world" not only exists in the minds of little devils and generals, but ordinary soldiers also think so.Undoubtedly, the first Great Wall War encouraged this mentality of the little devil.With 35 against [-], and finally achieved a "brilliant" victory, this is indeed a remarkable martial arts.From this point of view, they do have the capital to be proud of.

The air battle that just ended caused a certain amount of psychological pressure on the little devil.That's right, the little devils are not used to their fighter planes being shot down and running away in despair.However, more devils believed that this was just a mistake of the aviation unit, and that His Majesty's samurai were still invincible in a ground duel.

Is this really the case?

First of all, without artillery fire to clear the way, the fortifications in that place will completely require them to use their bodies and blood to level them.Xiangyue Qingsi made a big mistake. In any case, the artillery units of the various divisions should not be combined for use.Of course, now, he has no energy to regret.After receiving the war report jointly sent by Jizhu Liangfu and Xiayuan Xiongmi, and knowing that they are marching towards Wangjiawei with all their strength, the old devil realized that this is the best time to take Wangjiawei in one fell swoop.Then what?To encircle Changping and annihilate the main force of the student army... It's a bit far-fetched, and it's a bit too good.However, if Wangjiawei can be conquered in one fell swoop, the dream may come true.

In front of the small river, Koji Sakai personally led the battle. At that time, he was waving his command sword to boost morale: "As the warriors of His Majesty the Emperor? Warriors of the Yamato nation with excellent bloodlines, we will wash us with the blood of the Chinese people." The shame of defeat. Now, this opportunity is before us, for His Majesty the Emperor, for the empire, let's fight!"

About 30 meters to the south of the small river, officers and soldiers from the First Battalion of the Second Column, Third Regiment, and First Battalion of the special police built simple fortifications.Seeing the little devil's engineers running close to the river carrying wooden boards, Battalion Commander Lin Keqing swung his pistol with his right hand and shouted, "Hit!" He flipped his wrist and pulled the trigger.

On the other side of the river, the Japanese artillery shells, grenades, and machine gun positions had already been set up.In fact, when the fighter planes of the two sides in the sky were still fighting, the opposing sides on the ground had already pointed their guns at each other.As soon as the gunshot rang out here, the guns on the other side of the river also rang out immediately.

The width of the creek here is only about five meters, which is also the narrowest part of the creek.If the Japanese army wanted to attack Wangjiaxu, this was undoubtedly the best place to cross the river.As for the other two places, one needs to travel more than ten kilometers.The other place is on the front line of Huangzhuang and Lijiatunzi.

The Japanese army was strong, and at this time, one brigade each was marching towards the above two locations.Of course, without exception, they were blocked and harassed by the small troops of the Xuebing Army.

The battle around this small river is destined to become the most eye-catching of all the battles today.Neither side has heavy weapons, and squad-level support firepower (mortars and grenades) can also be counted.Relying on the guns and grenades in their hands, in this case, the third regiment and the first battalion once firmly grasped the direction of the battlefield.Soon, an engineering squadron of the Japanese army fell on the river beach.After losing this part of the engineers, Sakai Ko made a heartbreak, and simply drove a dozen large trucks directly into the river. The river was not deep, so, next to these trucks, the Japanese army began to have soldiers cross the river. Come.Once the Japanese army successfully crossed the river, with the establishment of its numerical advantage, it became more and more difficult for the first battalion to stop it.

According to the previously formulated strategy, after sacrificing a platoon of soldiers, Lin Keqing decisively issued an order to retreat, and slowly led the Japanese army to the ambush location after a company delay.

After all the troops of the 16st Mixed Brigade had crossed the river, Kiyoshi Kazuki began to order the No. [-] Division's engineering unit to erect a pontoon bridge.And just as the devil's engineers were laying down the first bridge pile, there was suddenly a continuous violent explosion on the hillside.After the explosion, intensive gunshots rang out, and under the watchful eyes of Xiangyue Qingji, they became the first brigade of the First Brigade, which rushed to the front, and immediately fell down nearly one-third of its troops.

The 11th Regiment of the Third Brigade was responsible for the ambush mission of the Xuebing Army.In order to fight this ambush, last night, Gu Mingchang and Deng Zige went to the front line in person and instructed the soldiers to plant a large number of string mines. The violent explosion just now was caused by the sound of these mines.

"Rush!" Once the mine was detonated, the soldiers of the 11th regiment jumped out of the ambush site and launched a counter-charge under the leadership of the regiment leader Fang Youwei.Soon, the mixed first brigade was driven back to the river.

In this kind of short-distance contact warfare, the firepower advantages of the Weiqing-style assault rifles and submachine guns were brought into full play. Under the attack of the 11th regiment and the soldiers of the third battalion who were not stingy with bullets, the Japanese army could not even organize an effective block. The defeated brigade retreated to the river, and was quickly compressed to the riverside.Some devils, because there is no place to hide, now jump into the river starting with you.

Koji Sakai retreated under the pressure of his subordinates, and at this moment he finally came to his senses.Facing the cowardice of his subordinates, the old devil was furious, and cursed: "Ba Ge, hold it up!" He swung his command knife repeatedly, and knocked over two devils who happened to escape to him.

As soon as he killed someone, the little devil's defeat was immediately contained.Fang Youwei and Lin Keqing led the team to charge again, and found that they could not disrupt the formation of the devils. Instead, many soldiers were killed and injured by mortars and grenades across the river in vain, so they withdrew back in an orderly manner.
