The Japanese 219th Regiment is the main force of the 35th Division and has always acted as a vanguard. However, at the end of the day, the 219th Regiment had suffered more than half of its casualties. After replenishment, its combat effectiveness was basically restored, and as a result, it encountered the Eighth Route Army again.
The attack by the artillery group caused heavy casualties to the troops, which have long since ceased to be organized. The reason why Maeda Osamu chose the 219th Regiment to be responsible for the rear blocking and cover mission was because they suffered too many casualties. He wanted to use the method of cutting off the wrists of a strong man to exchange a broken regiment for a division.
The main force of the regiment successfully retreated.
After receiving the order to assume the rear blocking mission, the 219th Regiment was unambiguous and immediately turned around to organize resistance on the spot. However, all this seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the group assault of the Eighth Route Army's armored forces, and it was said that it was dead.
, the living little devils watched helplessly as the rumbling tanks, armored vehicles, and cars of the Eighth Route Army ran over the 219th Regiment and chased the retreating main force of the 35th Division.
Yuan Guoguang was from Tai'an and originally served as a low-level officer in Han Fuqu's Ministry. After Han Fuqu gave up Shandong and retreated, Yuan Guoguang led dozens of his brothers to stay in Shandong to fight guerrillas. After the main force of the Eighth Route Army moved eastward, Yuan Guoguang led the guerrillas to join the Eighth Route Army.
.
Yuan Guoguang can be regarded as a wizard. He can disassemble and assemble any weapon in his hands in just a few clicks. Seeing that the Eighth Route Army has motorcycles, cars, armored vehicles, and tanks, he wants to be a tank soldier. After he taught the Second Regiment,
After simple training, he was able to drive a tank in combat, which made the cadres and soldiers of the Second Regiment regard him as a monster. He participated in the Battle of Central Shandong, the destruction of the Japanese 10th Division on the Hebei-Shandong border, and the Battle of Jiaoji Road, and
He was also awarded for meritorious service due to his skillful skills, brave attacks, and ability to wipe out numerous enemies. Now, he has become the platoon commander of the 1st Armored Battalion and 1st Company of the Eighth Route Army Armored Regiment, commanding three tanks.
After breaking through the Japanese blocking defense line, Yuan Guoguang led his tank platoon to increase power and chased the 35th Division's retreat.
The 35th Division was now in chaos. People in cars, on horseback, and on the run were running hastily along the main roads and small roads towards the location of the 14th Division in the Feizhong Mountains.
When Yuan Guoguang stopped strafing and shelling, he stretched out his body from the turret and glanced at the battlefield. He saw that the Eighth Route Army artillery group was still shelling. The shells were divided into several groups and hit in different directions. Yuan Guoguang knew that this was already hidden in the tunnel.
, the result of the guidance of the village artillery observer. No matter where the little devils fled, they would be targeted by the artillery group, which would blow them to pieces and prevent them from forming a collective force.
Yuan Guoguang had a sudden thought, this kid is really the fucking captain of the transportation brigade. Look at the equipment of the Eighth Route Army instructors. The Eighth Route Army has whatever the kid has. Moreover, the Japs’ equipment is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, which is better than that of the Japanese army.
They can exert more combat effectiveness in their hands, just like the instructors and cadres of the Eighth Route Army are more familiar with the equipment of the Japs. Like their own tanks, the Japanese army calls them tanks and the Eighth Route Army calls them tanks. The Japanese tanks originally did not have communication equipment.
Communication relies on semaphore, agreement, and tacit understanding. In the hands of the Eighth Route Army, a vehicle-mounted radio station was actually installed. Not only can real-time communication between vehicles occur, but tanks can also communicate with artillery units and infantry units. The entire army
They are all connected as a whole, and the command is satisfactory. From this perspective, I am afraid that military theorists around the world have never imagined that the Eighth Route Army is so advanced. It is ridiculous that the little devil is stupid enough to call such an advanced army Tubal Road.
It’s just that he didn’t even know how he died!
Looking at the fleeing formation of the Japanese from a distance, Yuan Guoguang felt funny in his heart, what a day for such stupid little Japanese! Back then, they frightened Han Fuqu's 100,000-strong army and fled in panic. Things have changed, and now it's their turn to run away.
.Who would have thought that a majestic division with nearly 20,000 troops, attacking for a day, with cannons firing loudly, would be so unbearable when they arrived. It's a bit like a street gangster, acting like a bachelor when something happens, showing his teeth and claws, jumping around and yelling, and boasting.
Zhentianxiang, once he meets someone who can deal with them, he will immediately grease his feet, get out of the cracks in the person, and run away with his head in his arms.
The division commanders, brigade commanders, and regiment commanders of the Japanese army must not have studied hard since childhood, so they went to military academies out of desperation, right?
No one could have imagined that on this battlefield of flames and blood, a small Eighth Route Army armored vehicle platoon leader would have such fantastic ideas!
After retracting his body and closing the turret, Yuan Guoguang ordered his three tanks to change formation through the radio and form a column to pass through the middle of the Japanese retreating column, dividing the enemy and making it easier for the following troops to surround and annihilate the Japanese.
The time from the Eighth Route Army artillery group launching the attack to the Eighth Route Army assault group launching the assault, to Maeda Haru ordering the retreat, to the Eighth Route Army assault group crushing the 219th Regiment blocking line, was very short. In fact, the main force of the 35th Division did not exist at all.
No matter how far they ran, not to mention they were intercepted by the Eighth Route Army artillery group and couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
The commander of the 35th Division, Maeda Haru, didn't even sit in his car. He and the chief of staff, Morita Masanori, commander of the 13th Japanese Brigade, were sitting in an armored vehicle, carrying a radio, and following
Retreating westward behind the two tanks. At first, it went smoothly. But it didn't work anymore. The Eighth Route Army artillery group discovered the retreating remnants of the 35th Division and began to intercept and bombard them.
Maeda Haru's retreating team broke up. Seeing that if they continued like this, the entire division might collapse and repeat the defeat at the Jilu border, Maeda Haru didn't dare to run like this anymore. He knew that the troops
Once defeated, the soldiers were turned into sheep and allowed to be slaughtered by the Eighth Route Army. Even if he could run to the 14th Division without being captured or killed by the Eighth Route Army, he would not be able to escape the Japanese military's court-martial. You know, he had offended Shan.
If an important minister and general like Sugimoto continues to sit back and watch his troops collapse, not to mention others, even Sugimoto and Iida Sadugu will not let him go.
Maeda simply stopped running and asked the chief of staff and Morita Masanori to continue retreating in armored vehicles with military flags. They went to the 14th Division to urge Lieutenant General Seki Takamasa to quickly send a combat convoy to meet the 35th Division, and invited the heavy artillery brigade.
The regiment quickly fired artillery to destroy the Eighth Route Army artillery group and the Eighth Route Army assault group, covering the retreat of the 35th Division and the 13th Japanese Mixed Brigade. They also asked Lieutenant General Sekii Takamasa to pay attention to the Eighth Route Army's attacking force and quickly ordered the troops to build strong fortifications.
Preparing for a protracted battle, he himself got out of the car and asked the signal corps to send orders to the troops to gather the troops, hold on to the spot, and use the darkness to resolutely repel the Eighth Route Army's assault.
Looking at Maeda Haru's determined look, Morita Masanori knew that he was determined to die. If the Eighth Route Army had such powerful firepower and such powerful troops, would they have ordered a retreat just now if they could hold on?
Morita Masanori was a little ashamed and stopped running. He followed Maeda Haru out of the car. The two crawled on the ground, muttering for a long time, and decided to order the troops to seize the surrounding villages and rely on the villages to hold on. As long as the heavy artillery brigade launched
Artillery bombardment can temporarily disrupt the Eighth Route Army's pursuit of troops and give them time to organize their troops.
The two old devils, Maeda Osamu and Morita Masanori, are confused. They haven't thought clearly yet. If the heavy artillery brigade could still carry out operations, they would have fired artillery long ago. Do they still need to push them again and again? Fourteenth
If the division could still deploy calmly, they would have come to support them long ago. Why would he need to send the chief of staff to supervise them?
In fact, the 14th Division is also on the fire right now.
Guan Jing Takanchang commanded the 14th Division to launch an all-out attack on the Eighth Route Army's positions in the Feizhong Mountains, preparing to break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line in one fell swoop and move north along the highway to Jinan. As soon as the troops started to attack, they were violently bombarded by the Eighth Route Army's artillery group.
Considering that the 14th Division has been mechanized, with many guns, tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles, the artillery group organized by Li Chang is really a field artillery regiment against the 14th Division, and the artillery brigade's flying mines
The artillery regiment was strengthened to Zhao Shan's Eighth Jiao Brigade and was under the command of Zhao Shan. There were six field artillery regiments, each with forty-eight field artillery pieces, a total of 288 field artillery pieces. Five salvos equaled 1,440 artillery shells. In view of the 14th Division's
They are already mechanized and have powerful combat capabilities. Once they break through the blocking group's defense line, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even if they turn around and go south, the consequences will be very terrible. Li Chang's strict order to each artillery regiment is to continue shelling and don't worry about the problem of the shells being fired. Anyway, the Eighth Route Army Arsenal
You can continuously reload artillery shells and replenish as many as you need without saving shells for the division commander. Hit hard until the 14th Division is defeated.
As a result, the 14th Division, which was in the midst of a full-line offensive, also fell into a nightmare. Not only did Haru Maeda and Masanori Morita hope that the heavy artillery brigade would fire quickly, Takamasa Seki was also constantly urging the heavy artillery group to fire.
!
The attempts of Maeda Haru and Morita Masanori were destined to fail, because not only the Eighth Route Army artillery group was targeting him, but the Eighth Route Army assault group was also targeting him.
Just when Yuan Guoguang ordered his three tanks to form a column to quickly attack and separate the Japanese participating troops, Zhao Dahe, the commander of the armored regiment, also ordered the entire regiment to use one battalion and one company as arrows to form a sharp triangle, wedged fiercely into the small
Among the Japanese, the Japanese retreating formation was broken in half.
At this time, it no longer makes much sense to let the artillery group bombard the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade from a long distance. Assaulting the plateau of the group, Li Qing and Lei Ming of the East Group invariably asked Li Chang
The shelling stopped, and the artillery group quickly followed up, preparing to cooperate in the battle to eliminate the 14th Division.
As for the 13th Brigade formed by the 35th Division and the Japanese Army, it seems to Gao Yuan, Li Qing, Hu Laohu and Lei Ming that it no longer exists.
This is not a plateau. Li Qing and the others are arrogant. The facts are there. A powerful assault group pounced on them. With so many machine guns, tank guns, vehicle-mounted infantry guns, and small steel cannons, the 35th Division should also go through them.
The army was defeated. If they could still escape, the world would really be in chaos.
Maeda Haru and Morita Masanori had just discussed it and were about to give orders to the soldiers crawling around them when the tanks of the Eighth Route Army Armored Regiment rushed up. The tank formation was like an iron plow, plowing through the broken formation of the Japanese from north to south.
, the tongues of flame spewed from the machine guns on the car turned the little Japs into the dirt on both sides. There were some little Jaap soldiers who were unconvinced and turned around to throw grenades or raise their machine guns to sweep wildly, but the grenades had no effect on the tracks.
None. The machine gun bullets hit the protective armor of the tanks with a clanging sound and dropped warheads. There were also some tanks trapped in the enemy's dispersing formation. The armored vehicles stopped escaping and turned around to fight with the Eighth Route Army tanks in an attempt.
Destroy the Eighth Route Army tanks and halt the momentum of the Eighth Route Army's armored assault.
The Eighth Route Army Armored Regiment almost turned a blind eye to these useless resistances. Only when they encountered the remaining Japanese tanks, the armored vehicles would swarm forward. Several tanks would hit each other, and a few shots would destroy the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles that were trying to resist. The remaining Japanese infantrymen would
It was not in the eyes of the armored regiment at all. What dealt with them were the machine guns on the tanks and the machine guns on the armored vehicles and cars that followed.
The three tanks led by Yuan Guoguang were the arrows of the entire Eighth Route Army assault group. Now, the orders of the regiment commander, battalion commander, and company commander were all transmitted to his ears through the vehicle radio: "Forward, forward, forward, speed
First, breakthrough first."
Yuan Guoguang carried out the orders of the regiment commander, battalion commander, and company commander to the letter. He asked the machine gunner to control the front-mounted truck-mounted machine gun to fire continuously, he controlled the tank gun himself, and ordered the driver to drive at full speed.
Crush the little devil under the tracks.
When the battle has developed to this level, the technical content is relatively low. Because the little Japanese were blown into a rout by the artillery group, the defeated soldiers of each unit lost their organization and fled in chaos. The Eighth Route Army assault group was like herding sheep, pressing on them.
Behind them, they chased the little Japs and fled to the southwest. Now, the armored regiment changed its tactics, and sharp attack arrows were shot from the middle of the Japanese troops. The fleeing little Japs naturally ran to both sides in order to avoid the armored regiment's firepower.
On both sides, the firepower network of the Eighth Route Army's follow-up troops was waiting, and the entire battlefield became a slaughterhouse, a bloody place.
Seeing this scene, Maeda was so heartbroken that he couldn't help but stand up, pulled out his command knife, and shouted in Japanese: "Go to the village, go to the village quickly! Occupy the village, Tubal Road will not destroy the village!"
Seeing Maedaji standing and shouting at the top of his lungs, Morita Masanori hurriedly stood up and pulled him, and the two of them rolled in a pile of piss into an abandoned trench.
Unwilling to be reconciled, Maeda stood up again, waved his command sword, intercepted a small group of retreating soldiers, and ordered them to organize shooting immediately.
The dignified Army Lieutenant General became a squad leader, waving his command knife, pointing at the tanks of the Eighth Route Army Armored Regiment, and kept shouting in Japanese: "Shoot! Shoot!"
Maeda Haru is seeking death!
The tanks commanded by Yuan Guoguang rolled in all the way, and the tracks of the tanks were stained with blood. I don’t know how many dead souls were added to the tanks. Through the periscope of the tank commander, I saw that there was still a Jaap position ahead, with machine guns and rifles everywhere.
After stopping to shoot, Yuan Guoguang loudly ordered the driver to adjust the direction, rush forward, and crush the little devil to death!
