This bombardment continued. Later, not only the forty-eight 105-caliber artillery pieces led by Huang Zhentao were bombing, but also the 75mm field guns of the other four infantry regiments joined the bombardment.
The field artillery regiment of the Japanese Ninth Division was simply at a loss when faced with the shells coming from all directions. I don¡¯t even know which direction to hit. In the end, it could only be destroyed by the explosion of a 105-caliber howitzer.
And the Ninth Division had to die here because of the shelling.
It was under such circumstances that Liao Yaoxiang's fifth regiment was ordered to start heading south, and encountered the Japanese when they arrived at the outskirts of Luqiao Town.
Immediately, Liao Yaoxiang ordered the troops to attack the Japanese with all their strength.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Seventh Regiment in Qilitang, led by Dai Anlan, successfully rushed to the back of Luqiao Town and blocked the retreat of the Japanese Ninth Division.
At the same time, Zhou Weiguo personally led the Ninth Regiment to the south of Luqiao Town and blocked the road to the south for the Japanese Ninth Division.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander! Our scouts have sent news that large-scale branches have appeared in our east, north, and south. We have been surrounded by that army!"
At this time, a soldier in black military uniform ran over, lying on the ground and said to Yoshizumi Yoshio.
"Nani? Are we surrounded?"
Yoshizumi Ryosuke asked in shock. He really couldn't believe the news.
"Yes, we were surrounded by that army!"
"Ba~ga~Major General Jingshu Xuanshi!"
"Ha~yi~Your Excellency, division commander!"
"I will immediately order you to lead your brigade to break through to the south. You must take advantage of it. Then, the human blockade has not yet been fully formed. Do you understand?"
Yoshizumi Yoshio was very angry. As the division commander of a standing division, Yoshizumi Yoshio was proud and arrogant at the same time.
Although today¡¯s attack failed, he did not think that these enemy troops could stop him. But now he suddenly heard that he was being defended. One can imagine how bad his mood was.
Being surrounded on all sides like this is completely a sign of confidence.
Now that he is being protected by Zhou Weiguo, it shows that Zhou Weiguo is telling him: Grandson, don¡¯t even think about running away, I will eat you today!
Someone threatened to eat his ninth division, which made Yoshizumi Yoshio feel extremely insulted
Southern part of Luqiao Town
"Quick! The first battalion is setting up defenses in front and setting up temporary positions. The second and third battalions are digging trenches in the back! The speed must be fast!"
After Zhou Weiguo led Long Wenwen's Ninth Regiment to kill the Japs' scouts, they immediately chose a place with a more favorable terrain and began to set up a defensive position.
Zhou Weiguo thought about it, the Little Devil¡¯s Ninth Division had not suffered any heavy casualties yet. Their main force still exists, and the Ninth Division is the elite division of the Japanese.
Yoshizumi Yoshio is an arrogant person. He will never be surrounded by himself like this. He will definitely choose to break out.
After considering various factors, Zhou Weiguo believed that even if Yoshizumi Yoshio broke through, he would break out from the south. After breaking through from the south, he could go to Changfeng County to rescue the 101st Division. Therefore, Zhou Weiguo's task for the Ninth Regiment was to block the Japanese Ninth Division's counterattack.
This is also the reason why he is in the Ninth Regiment. At that time, the little devils will definitely make a crazy counterattack and open up a way for them to break out.
While Zhou Weiguo was commanding his troops to set up temporary positions, Long Wenwen ran over panting.
"Bridge, the Japanese are coming."
"Coming up? How many people are there?"
Zhou Weiguo secretly thought that it was so fast. The troops of the Japanese elite division were really fast enough.
"There are about two regiments of troops!"
"The strength of two regiments? This is half the strength of the little devils infantry regiment. Let the first battalion be ready for battle! We must stop these little devils!"
"yes!"
Now that the war situation is urgent, Long Wenwen himself took an MP40 submachine gun and ran to the first battalion to personally direct the battle.
When the Japanese Eighteenth Brigade was attacking the ninth regiment's position, Chu Yunfei's sixth regiment, Liao Yaoxiang's fifth regiment, and Dai Anlan's seventh regiment were attacking the Japanese from three directions: east, west, north and west.
Yoshizumi Yoshio has already dispatched a brigade to open a way to break through. Now he only has two infantry regiments left in his hands, facing three infantry regiments and more than 10,000 people.Attacking, he seemed very powerless.
With no other option, he converted all non-combat regiments such as the engineer regiment and baggage regiment into combat troops and sent them to the front line to resist the attack of the Independent First Brigade.
But many times, the battle situation is not centered on his will.
When the five, six, and seven infantry regiments approached the Japs and engaged in close combat with the Japs, the battle that really frightened the Japs occurred.
Yoshizumi Yoshio watched his soldiers being slaughtered like pigs by the First Independent Brigade.
Their proud stabbing skills are simply vulnerable to automatic firepower.
The Type 38 rifle is a good weapon for stabbing. Zhou Weiguo also admitted that the Type 38 rifle is indeed very useful for stabbing.
But what if it¡¯s not a fight?
When the soldiers of the 1st Independent Brigade approached them with G43 semi-automatic rifles, they ejected the bullets from the barrels and imagined defeating the Chinese army with hand-to-hand combat as in the past. The soldiers of the 1st Independent Brigade used their actual actions to teach the Japanese what to do. Be a human being.
Mauser rifle bullets continued to fly out of the barrel, and the Japanese fell helplessly. [G43 is the Mauser rifle bullet used. You can check the information on this, I won¡¯t talk nonsense about it]
The Japs really shouldn¡¯t engage in close combat with the soldiers of the First Independent Brigade, because they will be exhausted faster and die faster in close combat.
If it is a long-distance shooting, the soldiers of the Independent First Brigade will still have bullets miss and waste, but in close combat.
Whether it¡¯s a semi-automatic rifle, a submachine gun, or a pistol, their accuracy can be said to be enough to kill a Japs with one bullet.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander! Let's leave quickly! If we don't leave, it will be too late!"
Hirosaki Nakagawa, chief of staff of the Ninth Division, took Yoshizumi Yoshio¡¯s arm and loudly persuaded him.
"No! I won't leave! My division is still here. I want to fight to the death with that army!"
The situation on the battlefield happened too fast, and the speed of the Japanese defeat was beyond everyone's expectations. Many Japanese fell to the ground before they could even realize what was going on.
Seeing their soldiers being killed by soldiers of the 1st Independent Brigade, and them getting closer and closer to the division headquarters, Nakagawa Hiroshi had to persuade Yoshizumi Yoshio to retreat.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, let's go! If we don't leave, it will be too late!"
"No! Give me the order to attack! Defeat that army!"
Yoshizumi Yoshio has gone crazy. He really doesn¡¯t want to believe that his elite division could fail like this!
"Come here! Take the division commander away!"
Nakagawa Hiroshi was cruel and ordered the soldiers to drive Yoshizumi Yoshio to evacuate.
Yoshizumi Yoshio was being driven, shouting, and at the same time turned to look at his soldiers. He was seeing his soldiers being slaughtered like pigs by the soldiers of the 1st Independent Brigade using automatic fire. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
