Just when the battlefield situation was out of control of both sides, the "new force" led by Zhou Weihan finally arrived.
"Captain of the detachment, the situation on the battlefield ahead is too chaotic. We met the cavalry of the cavalry regiment responsible for reconnaissance!" The scout who was sent to investigate the battlefield situation came back confused. Fortunately, he brought back the message that Zhu Dashan specially left behind.
Cavalry platoon.
"How did the battlefield situation become like this?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"Detachment leader, I don't know exactly why this happened. After our cavalry regiment arrived, the Japs were about to retreat. The regiment leader ordered other companies to look for fighters. Our cavalry platoon was responsible for detecting the Japs' retreating movements, location and supporting the main force.
Troops, not long after that, I heard the sound of gunfire, and then, gunfire came from all directions!" reported the cavalry platoon leader Hui.
To be honest, the situation on the battlefield is beyond Zhou Weihan's expectation. Anyone with eyes can see it, but he can't tell what the specific situation is.
"Have you found out the location of the Japanese military headquarters?" Xing Zhiguo asked.
"I saw the Japanese artillery entering a village in the northeast. It is most likely the Japanese army's headquarters, but it is currently blocked by the battlefield and has to go around from the east!"
"Old Zhou, in this situation, we cannot allow a regiment to join the battle rashly, otherwise it will only make the situation more chaotic. As long as the Japanese infantry can be eliminated, the artillery in the village will not be able to do anything!" Xing Zhiguo suggested.
Zhou Weihan looked at the sky. The weather was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain. Fortunately, the battle took place during the day. If it were a night battle, as in the current situation, accidental injuries would be inevitable.
The situation was urgent and Zhou Weihan could not tolerate any further hesitation, so he immediately ordered: "One regiment and one battalion, the second battalion advances from the southeast and southwest of the battlefield, the third battalion and others detour to the east of the battlefield, and then the third battalion advances westward!"
"The three battalions of the first regiment are each equipped with a heavy machine gun company and gradually advance along their respective attack directions."
Zhou Weihan's arrangement was also based on comprehensive considerations.
Looking at the battlefield situation, Weizi Town is located on the west side, and the new regiment must be chasing the Japanese troops retreating eastward from the west side.
Therefore, Zhou Weihan ordered the third battalion to advance from east to west, trying to hit the Japanese in the fierce battle from behind.
The real situation is also the same. The first battalion of the new regiment joined the battle from the west, and then Luo Benzhong arrived with the second and third battalions, so the west was the area with the most intense fighting.
As Zhou Weihan's order was issued, the regiment quickly attacked, with three infantry companies in each battalion leading the way, followed by the heavy machine gun company, adopting a swift and steady advance.
After that, first the first battalion and the second battalion fought in two directions, and soon there was gunfire from the third battalion.
Each battalion is fully staffed with 540 men, plus the heavy machine gun company and the 82nd mortar platoon split into each battalion. There are nearly 700 men in each direction. Each infantry squad is equipped with a light machine gun.
A 50mm mortar, plus a large number of short guns and submachine guns.
With this kind of firepower, all the small groups of Japanese troops encountered along the way were eliminated one by one, and the soldiers of the new regiment and the cavalry regiment who were left alone quickly moved closer together.
Under this situation of being surrounded on three sides, many Japanese troops who did not know the truth were driven to the west side of the battlefield where the fighting was the fiercest.
Li Yunlong was the first to notice the change in the battlefield situation, and then said: "Why are these little devils running here? No, this is the sound of Czech light machine guns, and Maxim heavy machine guns. Damn it, Zhou Weihan finally
coming!"
Luo Benzhong also breathed a sigh of relief. Previously, Li Yunlong led the first battalion to rush towards the Japanese army, but the infantry did not have the mobility of the cavalry. If he had not led the second and third battalions to fight to the death, today next year would be the anniversary of Li Yunlong's death.
.
"It came on time. If it were a little later, we would have to give up!" Luo Benzhong said angrily.
"Look at what you said, you are so arrogant. Without me, all the little devils have gathered together. Now it's not a loss no matter how you look at it!" Li Yunlong retorted directly.
On the other side, Zhu Dashan also led two companies to break out of the siege again. However, this time as the Japanese troops gathered westward, the density of personnel on the battlefield increased. The cavalry regiment obviously encountered resistance when fighting. Many soldiers were covered in blood.
Fucked.
Zhu Dashan, who had been killing everyone just now, stood in front of Zhou Weihan with his head shrinking.
"How did I give the battle order to the cavalry regiment before?" Zhou Weihan said coldly.
"The cavalry regiment is responsible for destroying small groups of Japanese troops and is not allowed to fight with the main force. But at that time, the Japs were trying to escape, and Captain Li led his men up. The brothers' troops were fighting against the Japs. We, the Cavalry Regiment, couldn't stand aside and just stare!"
Zhu Dashan argued with a bitter face.
"Okay, hurry up and gather the troops, and then your cavalry regiment will go to the village in the northeast. Once there are fighting Japanese troops, you will retreat there. At the same time, you must always pay attention to the movements of the Japanese troops in the village. Do you understand?" Zhou Weihan said loudly.
"Understood!" When Zhu Dashan heard that there was still a fight, he immediately changed his smile.
After Zhu Dashan left, Xing Zhiguo said with a smile: "This is really a random attack. The random attack actually brought out the fighter plane. The Japanese artillery has not taken action yet, because they are afraid of accidentally injuring their own soldiers!"
"I know that the cavalry regiment is a treasure in your hands. The cavalry is different from the infantry and is not easy to set up. However, no army must be baptized by the fire of war. Let me tell you, if you keep protecting the cavalry regiment, it will be a treasure.
It may not be a good thing for the cavalry regiment!"
Zhou Weihan agrees with what Xing Zhiguo said, but...
The words were divided into two parts. Just when the Japanese army was surrounded on three sides, Tian Daoshengwu, who was at the division headquarters, also noticed that the situation was not good.
Tian Daoshengwu's idea was to defend the village until reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army arrived, but the current situation broke his plan.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please forgive me. As soon as we left the village, we encountered the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army. I did not contact Captain Songgu!" A wounded kid stood miserably in front of Tian Daoshengwu.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Since the surrounded Japanese army did not carry a radio, Tanichi Moritake was eager to get the Japanese army to withdraw to the village, so he could only send out a dozen signal soldiers to contact Shinya Matsutani.
.
As a result, only one signal soldier returned, and it is unknown whether the others successfully contacted Matsutani Shin, who was commanding the operation.
I saw Tian Michio Shengwu saying: "You are very brave, this is not your responsibility, go to the health team to bandage it, and then it is time to fight for the emperor!"
"Hi!" the soldier responded excitedly.
After the soldiers left, Tadō Moritake's face turned livid. The change in the battle situation was something he had not expected. Shinya Matsutani led his troops to the village, but turned back to support the Japanese army that was entangled by the new regiment and cavalry regiment. Now even Shinya Matsutani
They were all surrounded by the Eighth Route Army.
The communication between the division headquarters and the front line was interrupted. There was only one mountain artillery battalion, one heavy machine gun squadron, one baggage squadron, division headquarters, regiment headquarters and other Japanese troops in the village. It was too late to protect themselves. How to send troops to support them.
"Baga, this idiot, Shinya Matsutani, could clearly cut off a warrior's wrist and retreat in time. It was clearly a rescue, but now he is surrounded, and the future of the 41st Division is ruined in his hands!" Tian Daoshengwu roared.
Seeing this, the adjutant on the side quickly persuaded: "Your Excellency, division commander, perhaps Captain Songgu will concentrate his troops to break out towards the village where the division headquarters is located when he sees something is wrong. When I see it, I can ask the artillery to stop responding!"
"I hope so, I will do as you say, and at the same time let the soldiers in the village build fortifications!"
At this time, the troops of Shinya Matsutani, who were surrounded, were at their last moment.
At that time, Matsutani Shinya also realized that reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army had arrived, but the First Regiment's movements were too fast. After Matsutani Shinya noticed it, he gathered his troops again, and the First Regiment had completed the encirclement.
Shinya Matsutani organized troops to break through the encirclement several times, but were repelled all times. Even the heavy machine gun squadron and the infantry artillery squadron were separated without knowing when. In the end, the remaining troops were trapped on a hill.
Shinya Matsutani looked around and saw that there were only more than 200 soldiers left in his unit, and most of the soldiers were injured.
During the attack on Weizi Town, there were more than 600 casualties, consisting of about three squadrons. During the retreat, two more unsatisfied squadrons were eaten by the Eighth Route Army.
When he came to lead his troops to support him, he was attacked by cavalry from the Eighth Route Army and his troops were scattered.
Now that he was trapped in a place again, with no hope of breaking out, Matsutani couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of this.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The explosion of the artillery shells awakened Shinya Matsutani from his regret.
The fireball soared into the sky, turning the earth into scorched earth, and the bursting air waves flew the Japanese corpses into the sky.
Accompanied by deafening shouts of killing, new regiments of soldiers rushed from all directions towards the hilltop where the Japanese army was located.
The remnants of the Japanese army seemed to have lost their fighting spirit and did not form any decent resistance at all, and were subsequently submerged in the sea of people.
With most of the infantry annihilated, the Japanese army of the 41st Division also came to an end.
