Under the order of the North China Front Army Headquarters.
The Japanese puppet troops in Gaoyang County and the 11th Independent Infantry Regiment of the 6th Division of the Mongolian Army Garrisoned in Datong quickly dispatched reinforcements towards Miaoergou.
At this time, the battle in Miaoergou was in full swing.
The terrain of Miaoer Valley is a long curve with undulating valleys on both sides, and the railway passes through the bottom of the ditch.
The two Japanese army columns were separated by a long curve. The troops of the 3rd Heavy Artillery Regiment were at that end, and the troops of the 3rd Infantry Regiment were at this end.
At the commanding heights of the curve, the Eighth Route Army placed several heavy machine guns. The Japanese infantry tried to rush over to reinforce the artillery, but they were all shot dead at the curve.
Boom boom boom...
At this moment, 8mm mortars and 60mm mortars from two battalions of the New Regiment opened fire.
Four 8mm mortars and 36 60mm mortars began firing at full speed.
The rate of fire of the 60mm mortar can reach 30 rounds per minute, while the rate of fire of the 8mm mortar can also reach 0 rounds per minute.
The artillerymen had measured and marked the shooting elements in advance. Not only did they fire quickly, but they also fired very accurately.
Among them, 8 8mm mortars and 1 60mm mortar provide artillery support to the soldiers of the 4th independent brigade regiment and the regiment.
Boom boom boom...
Intensive explosions fell on the railway, and the explosions continued to rise. Coupled with the intensive grenade explosions, almost the entire bottom of the ditch was completely enveloped in gunpowder smoke.
The 60mm mortar shell is much more powerful than the hand grenade, and the 8mm mortar shell is even more lethal.阑
Coupled with the constant throwing of grenades, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties for a while.
Although the Japanese soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Regiment are the elite among the elite, they are not made of iron after all. They are also made of flesh and blood, and they will die if they are hit by bombs and bullets.
The Browning M1917 heavy machine gun and 0mm machine gun were firing continuously.
The Japanese who were hit by machine shells were directly beaten into pieces of minced meat, and some 0mm shells even shot through three Japanese in a row.
In the Chasing Wind, Mitsuru Takahashi and Sei Yamashita, who were in command of the carriage, were a little confused when they saw this scene.
"Is this the firepower of the Eighth Route Army?"
"How is that possible?" Lan
Watching the Locust Army warriors of the 3rd Infantry Regiment fall one by one under the fierce firepower of the ambushed Eighth Route Army, the smoke from the explosion of artillery shells and grenades almost filled the ravine.
This firepower alone is stronger than the infantry regiment.
In addition, the Eighth Route Army occupied the advantage of the terrain on both sides and was stronger than the infantry regiment, so it could only be passively beaten.
"Request tactical guidance from General Okamura immediately!"
"Suppress the enemy's firepower on the hills on both sides and provide fire support for the infantry!"
Seeing the Locust Army warriors of the 1st Infantry Regiment suffering heavy casualties under the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army, Yamashita Seiichi became angry.
On the side, Takahashi Mitsuru looked nervous. It was unclear from here the situation of his heavy artillery regiment, but judging from the sound of gunfire, the battle there was also extremely fierce.
"Baga, the North China Front Army is a bunch of trash!"
"You actually let Tubalu ambush the locust army here!"
Mitsuru Takahashi, who had always been calm, couldn't help but curse.
Before the cannon of the armored train Chasing the Wind could fire, Yamashita Seiichi looked through the observation hole and saw something flying toward the command car from the top of the hill on the left.
"Takahashi-kun, be careful!"
Yamashita Makoto subconsciously pinned Takahashi Mitsuru under him.
But it's too late.
A rocket hit the command car, and with a loud bang, Takahashi Mitsuru and the Japanese who were operating the heavy machine gun were still in a daze. At that time, they only felt the flash of fire in front of their eyes, and then they didn't react to anything.
, and his soul returned to Japan in the violent explosion.
Although the Eighth Route Army engineers buried explosives on the railway tracks specifically to deal with the Japanese's last armored train.
However, because the Japanese armored train was far away from the previous train, it stopped before it could reach the explosive point.
This allowed Yamashita Makoto and Takahashi Mitsuru to live a little longer.
However, Battalion Commander Wang had already received a telegram from the regiment headquarters and knew in advance that the Japanese had added a heavy armored train to the heavy artillery regiment.
Therefore, we arranged to form rocket launchers and 0mm machine guns specifically to deal with the Japanese heavy armored trains.
The deputy company commander in charge of leading the team conducted in-depth research and analysis on how to defeat Japanese heavy armored trains based on intelligence before the war.
To hit a snake within seven inches, to hit a Japanese heavy-armored train, you must first hit its command car.
At first, the fire platoon and the bazooka soldiers were in the wrong ambush position, and the battle started for a while before the soldiers came to the flank of the Japanese armored train carrying 0mm machine guns and bazookas.
At this time, the heavy machine gun firepower and artillery firepower of the Japanese heavy armored train were supporting the 3rd Regiment in front, firing towards the tops of hills 3 and 4.
The defense of the Japanese armored train is as brittle as paper in front of the Super Bazooka.
Immediately afterwards, several more rockets streaked through the air and hit the Japanese armored train carriage.
Boom boom boom...
Another rocket missed, and three more rockets hit the Japanese carriage. Smoke and fireballs burst out.
One of the rockets hit the ammunition compartment in the armor of the armored train's gun carriage. More than 100 shells inside exploded instantly, shaking the whole earth with a blast. The entire Japanese heavy armored train was blown away.
For two.
Immediately afterwards, more shells were detonated, causing a series of explosions, and the entire armored train burst into flames.
The explosion was so violent and sudden that the Japanese in the armored train had no time to escape and were blown to pieces in the explosion.
This movement instantly attracted the attention of the Eighth Route Army and Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, and they all looked this way.
The faces of the Japs who saw this scene changed drastically. The Japs all knew that the two captains were on that armored train.
"Avenge the captain!"
"Kill me!" Lan
The Japs of the 3rd Infantry Regiment looked very lustful and once again organized their forces to launch a counterattack towards the Eighth Route Army's commanding heights.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because the enemy's position is at the bottom of the ditch, there is no way to avoid it. There are no blind spots in 360 degrees, and they are completely suppressed by the firepower of the two battalions of the New Regiment.
As for the two battalions of the New Regiment, the firepower of each infantry squad was very strong and even, and the Japanese could not even find the weak point, let alone break through.
Among them, a small group of Japanese soldiers rushed to a commanding height on Hill 3 under the cover of machine guns and grenade launchers.
Once the Japanese take over this high ground, they can set up light and heavy machine guns on this high ground to cover the Japanese who are still alive at the bottom of the ditch to break out.
It seemed that the Japanese were about to take over this high ground.
At the critical moment, two fire-breathing soldiers, carrying flamethrowers on their backs, suddenly appeared at the commanding heights, and pulled the trigger of the flamethrower towards the Japanese who were rushing up the steep slope.
The flames were like two fire dragons, sweeping towards the Japanese in an instant.
"Ahh..."
Immediately afterwards, the devil's body was wrapped in flames, screaming like a slaughtered pig, and rolled down the steep slope to the bottom of the ditch.
However, the tumbling of the devils did not extinguish the flames on their bodies. Instead, the flames burned more and more fiercely.
A nearby platoon came for reinforcements and stabilized the hilltop, preventing the Japanese from escaping.
The battle lasted for nearly 30 minutes, and most of the casualties were already suffered by both the Japanese infantry and the Japanese artillery.
The two battalions of the New Second Regiment have enough ammunition and can fight for a few more hours. The 4th Regiment and the soldiers of the lone brigade took out all the ammunition from the bottom of the box.
Plenty of ammunition and powerful firepower.
In the condescending terrain, even though the Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment were troops of the Japanese 1st Division, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong, there was no possibility of a comeback.
The Japs once again organized a small team to launch a counterattack on the hilltop, but dozens of grenades were thrown down, and the Japs were immediately knocked upside down by the violent explosion and smoke.
In the headquarters.
Battalion Commander Wang looked at the valley filled with Japanese corpses and felt that it was almost time to go down to harvest corn.
The Japanese reinforcements must be heading here at this time.
"Give me the order, blow the charge horn!" Lan
