Chapter 400 The Battle of Changzhi (1) Please subscribe
On the battlefield, after a sudden bombardment and strafing, the Japanese headquarters suffered heavy casualties, and the puppet troops in front and behind the marching column were even more defeated.
The charge horn sounded, and a group of soldiers rushed down the mountain in groups.
After the flight team completed a wave of attacks, they did not return to Changzhi Airport, but kept hovering over the battlefield.
At this time, not only the Japanese and puppet troops who were ambushed were stunned, but also the soldiers of the Second Regiment who were ambushed on both wings took a long time to recover.
"Chase, don't let the puppet troops escape!" The commander of the first battalion of the Second Regiment, who was leading the ambush on the west side, saw the second half of the puppet troops Sayazi running towards Changzhi City who had not entered the ambush circle, and quickly ordered the soldiers to pursue them.
At this time, it seemed that the competition was about whose feet were faster, but the puppet soldiers had traveled a long distance and spent a lot of energy. It didn't take long before they were bitten by the soldiers of the first battalion.
Many puppet troops couldn't run anymore, and there were three planes following them in the sky. Thinking of the tragic situation on the battlefield, they couldn't help but shudder, threw away their weapons, and simply slumped to the ground, surrendering.
The first battalion commander saw that there were still No. 100 puppet troops fleeing ahead, and what seemed to be a big fish being protected in the middle, he quickly called on the soldiers to outflank them from both sides.
At first, he still had the idea of capturing prisoners, but he gave up the thought at this time, so he grabbed the light machine gun from the soldier on the side, pulled the trigger, and bullets sprayed out.
The puppet soldiers running behind were knocked to the ground by bullets. The fleeing puppet soldiers were suddenly frightened and stopped, and the soldiers swarmed forward.
"Run, if you keep running I'll make you a bunch of cowards!" a battalion commander yelled angrily.
"Sir, don't run anymore, I can't run anymore!" The leader of the puppet army put his head in his hands and said tremblingly.
"Young, you're still a group leader, take them all away!"
At the same time, the remaining little devils in the ambush circle were quickly strangled by a group of more than 2,000 soldiers who rushed over. The soldiers of the second battalion of the second regiment also completed the sealing task on the east side. Not a single puppet soldier in the vanguard escaped.
.
At this time, Zhou Weihan and Xing Zhiguo had rushed over from Wujiagou, and Jing Dagang reported the battle.
"Detachment leader, chief of staff, this ambush was fought. None of our regiments were of any use. After the flying team launched a wave of attacks, I lay on the top of the mountain and took a look. The puppet army was directly defeated. The heavily bombarded
There is not even one kid out of ten!" Jing Dagang reported.
"I see you are a little dissatisfied with your expression?" Zhou Weihan glared at Jing Dagang and said.
"How dare I? I can seize a large number of weapons, equipment and prisoners without sacrificing a few soldiers. I would prefer this kind of good thing to happen more often, but the power of aerial bombs is too great. The weapons and equipment of the little devil are not enough."
It's a pity that Shaodu was blown to pieces!" Jing Dagang said with regret.
"I am very satisfied with the current results. Except for Takema Yamada, the pilots of the flying team have not touched an airplane for more than two years. They can achieve such results in the first actual combat, which shows that their technical level has not fallen behind.
!" Zhou Weihan said happily.
"Yes, but I think the cooperation between ground troops and aircraft in the sky needs to be strengthened. This is also a headache!" Xing Zhiguo suggested on the side.
Zhou Weihan nodded after hearing this. There was no communication equipment on the Japanese aircraft. After the flight team took off, they could not lose contact with the ground. As several people were talking, a soldier who was cleaning the battlefield suddenly shouted. "Captain, what's going on?
A little devil is left of center and still alive!"
Zhou Weihan and others rushed over and saw the Japanese commander Kamesaburo Kawamura leaning against the truck. His right leg was obviously broken from the thigh by a bullet from an aircraft machine gun. His hands were pinching the thigh tightly, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.
.
Several soldiers surrounded him with rifles, but even so, Kawamura Kamesaburo was still cursing.
Li Ziwen, the political commissar of the First Regiment, was still thinking of calling the health worker to bandage Kawamura Kamesaburo, but Zhou Weihan waved his hand to stop him: "He has lost too much blood. He cannot perform surgery now and he will not survive. There is no need to waste styptic powder and bandages on him.
Give him a good time and kill him directly!"
"Yes!" The surrounding soldiers responded neatly, and then directly stabbed Kawamura Kamesaburo to death with their rifles.
Seeing the little Jaap in front of him take his last breath, Zhou Weihan immediately said: "You haven't had enough of fighting, haven't you? The regiment dispatched a battalion with the Type 92 infantry artillery to continue westward along the highway, and removed the strongholds passing through Changzhi Road in advance.
The rest of the troops hurry up and clean up the battlefield!"
"Yes!" Jing Dagang grinned.
After the order was issued, the regiments and battalions quickly assembled and then rushed westward.
Shortly after the battle ended, the headquarters messenger galloped towards the battlefield on horseback.
"Detachment leader, urgent call from headquarters!"
After Zhou Weihan read the telegram, he couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Damn it, you've gone too far to bully others. I know the national army can't keep its good intentions at bay!"
"What happened?" Xing Zhiguo asked.
"Our comrades in the counties south of Changzhi reported that Sun Dianying's New Fifth Army and Pang Bingxun's Forty Army have not launched an attack yet!" Zhou Weihan said with a gloomy face.
"Delaying the fighter plane is a big deal, but there is no response from the First Theater Command?" Xing Zhiguo asked again.
"These two miscellaneous troops have their own system. They are stationed alone in Tainan and have close contact with the Japanese army. It is normal to ignore the orders from the top. It is considered good that they did not inform the Japanese army!" Zhou Weihan said coldly.
"If this is the case, there is already movement on our side, and the first battalion has been sent to attack the strongholds along the line. Then our intention to attack Changzhi City will soon be known to the Japanese army, and the surrounding Japanese troops will soon swarm in.
Should we postpone the attack?" Xing Zhiguo said worriedly.
Zhou Weihan asked the monk to spread the map on the ground, and after thinking for a while, he said directly: "We should carry out the original plan. I had no intention of relying on the national army. Even if the little devils in the surrounding area are reinforcements, they will not arrive before noon. Besides, the Japanese army
How many troops can be distributed in various counties?"
"Old Xing, you see, the Japanese army in Gaoping can go directly north to Changzhi, and the closest to Changzhi is Huguan. The Japanese army in Lingchuan will pass through Huguan to reach Changzhi, and from Huguan, they will pass through Changzhi Airport. Hey,
We still have room for maneuver!"
"Then let the Cavalry Regiment and the Fourth Regiment take action!" Xing Zhiguo said.
"Yes, let's do it. Correspondent, go tell Zhu Dashan and let the cavalry regiment move towards Gaoping, south of Changzhi. Monitor the movements of the Japanese army at all times. If the Japanese army wants to go north, it must be intercepted!"
"The Fourth Regiment sent out scouts to always pay attention to the movements of Japanese troops in the direction of Huguan. If the Japanese troops dare to reinforce, kill them for me!"
"In addition, contact the Taiyue Military Region immediately and ask the eldest son about the war situation in the two counties of Tunliu!" Zhou Weihan ordered one after another.
"Yes" the correspondent responded and rushed towards the headquarters.
"Damn it, it was a good fight, but in the end it was a mess, just look at it, someone has to pick the peaches!"
