A succession of commands rang out from the Anjiajun position.
The rocket launchers currently used on the battlefield are the ones that An Yi brought to Peiping. When An Yi returned to Nanjing, two guard groups stayed in Peiping to take care of these rocket launchers. After An Yi's accident, although the iron guards were all They were anxious, but they did not dare to leave without receiving specific orders. Later, after receiving an order from Shen Fengdao to leave a guard team to strengthen the firepower of the Fifth Army and the rest of the personnel to go south, the Third Team of the Iron Guard together with sixteen an The -37 rocket launcher was temporarily assigned to the Fifth Army Corps. At that time, Hu Jialin's army headquarters was already heading towards Jixian, so this temporary rocket launcher strike team joined the 170th Division, which was responsible for the rear and building fortifications.
The guards carefully guarded these weapons. Most of the soldiers of the 170th Division knew that this weapon called "bazooka" was a powerful weapon against Japanese tanks and strongholds. It was the core secret of the Anjia Army. They also learned from the guards. This weapon has a fatal flaw, that is, the range is too short, and its lethality to infantry is not as good as the homemade homemade weapons of the 170th Division. Therefore, in previous operations, Suikang did not ask to fight, but It was assigned to Zheng Congjian's brigade, which was guarding the rear wing of the main force. I didn't expect that it would come in handy now.
More than a dozen Japanese medium-sized tanks formed a formation and began to attack, breathing thick smoke. The four tanks at the front rushed towards the position crazily, followed by dense Japanese soldiers.
"chug--"
At a distance of 500 meters, the 7.7mm truck-mounted machine gun of the Japanese Army's *** tank began to spit out tongues of fire fiercely. Bullets swept across the trench like a violent rain, throwing up a cloud of dust half a man's height.
"Get down-"
A platoon leader roared and pushed down the soldiers who were a little dumbfounded after seeing the tank next to them. The bullets hit the trench and exploded mud, which fell on the helmets, making a "squeak" sound.
This type of Japanese tank is bulky and not very fast, but its armor is much thicker than that of the Type 94 light tank. It is not afraid of the strikes of the 37 anti-aircraft guns being installed by the Chinese *** team, and its firepower is also satisfactory. Just like now, although the tank was as slow as a tortoise, the dense rain of bullets suppressed the defenders so much that they could hardly raise their heads. The Japanese soldiers following the tanks were so happy to see that they walked around the slow tanks one after another. Tanks launched a fierce charge towards the Anjiajun position.
The "explosive pack ejector" arranged along the entire defense line once again exerted great power. The huge explosive pack presented a perfect parabola, fell into the dense charging formation of the Japanese army, and exploded suddenly, arousing raging fire and shock waves. The Japs were thrown into the sky in groups, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Compared with the long front, the number of "explosive projectiles" equipped by Zheng Congjian's brigade was too small to prevent the Japanese army from attacking like a tide. Thousands of Japanese soldiers roared and more than 300 Japanese soldiers rushed to the front of the position in one breath. meters.
Soon, the light and heavy machine guns and Zhongzheng Type III semi-automatic rifles distributed in various machine gun bunkers roared intensively, forming a tight line of fire and sweeping towards the Japanese army.
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front were the first to bear the brunt, and were knocked to the ground by the dense rain of bullets in the blink of an eye. The bullets fired by the Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun on the Anjiajun position swept past like splashing water, knocking down the Japanese soldiers in pieces. He fell to the ground. In less than a minute, the Japanese troops who launched the charge were choked. Although the Japanese troops behind them rushed towards the Anjiajun position with crazy shouts, how could manpower compete with the destructive power of steel? To compete with each other? In this battle between iron and fire, the flesh and blood of the Japanese filled the open space in front of the position.
Just as the Japanese offensive troops were suppressed, six Japanese medium-sized tanks finally reached 300 meters in front of the position. The machine guns began to fire again. A dozen defensive officers and soldiers raised their heads slightly higher and were immediately hit by bullets.
Hit, he fell to the ground.
The tank then began to use the Type 90 57mm tank gun to fire at the machine gun fire points of the Anjia Army. Amidst the sound of gunfire, the machine gun bunkers of the Anjia Army were blown up to the sky. The Japanese infantry gradually rescued themselves from the suppression of the machine guns.
At this time, the two Japanese tanks charged forward again. Suddenly, after two violent explosions, the tracks broke and stopped in front of the position. Because napalm was added to the mines, the surface of the tanks was quickly surrounded by fire. The Japanese tank soldiers were horrified.
They quickly pushed open the lid and got out, but before they landed, they were already beaten into a sieve.
Seeing this, the other tanks knew that anti-tank mines were buried underground, so they simply stopped moving forward and stopped three hundred meters in front of the position. They were used as mobile forts. The shells they fired exploded on the position one after another, causing extreme damage to the Anjia officers and soldiers.
Heavy casualties.
With strong support from tanks, thousands of Japanese soldiers crawled out from the ground, raised their Type 38 rifles, fired, and continued to charge forward while howling.
Fortunately, everything was under control. When the Japanese *** tanks were firing at the machine gun positions, the four guards quickly stepped forward, aimed at the Japanese tanks with their bazookas and fired, accurately hitting the target.
Amidst the violent explosions, smoke evaporated, and all four tanks were hit directly. The rockets penetrated into the tanks and exploded. The tanks crackled and exploded like fireworks, and were immediately surrounded by flames.
Warm cheers from the defenders came from the position. Under the fierce and precise blows of the four guards, the Japanese tank soldiers couldn't figure out what weapons the Chinese used to destroy the thick armor of the Japanese medium tanks. They panicked.
The tank crews backed up one after another.
Seeing this, the Japanese infantry lost all morale and quickly retreated.
The Anjia army did not pursue it, and the entire front quickly fell silent.
"Well done!"
Hu Jialin put down his telescope and came to Zheng Congjian, who was constantly in contact with the front line through a walkie-talkie: "This defensive battle was wonderful. Being able to defeat the opponent under the Japanese army's determined and layered attack shows that you have studied the Japanese army's tactics thoroughly.
, and the preparations are very complete. It seems that there should be no problem if you hold on until noon."
Zheng Congjian nodded: "These are practiced in daily training, and now they are just step by step. Commander, chief of staff, the front line is too dangerous, you should withdraw first. It is almost eleven o'clock now, and the main force of the legion is expected to have passed.
The river is mostly halfway across the river. Once you all have crossed the river, we will retreat."
Hu Jialin looked at his watch: "Okay, let's go first and have a good fight! Brigadier Zheng, I am very optimistic about your troops!" After saying that, Hu Jialin patted Zheng Congjian's slightly thin shoulder with appreciation and called the chief of staff.
Huang Zhi, walked out of the underground headquarters together.
When they came to the trench outside, several guards quickly followed, but Huang Zhi suddenly stopped, pulled Hu Jialin, and pointed to the sky in the distance: "Listen, what is the sound?"
Hu Jialin listened carefully and his face changed: "They are planes, there are quite a lot of them... I don't know if they are our planes or the Japanese..."
At this time, the distinctive screams of the air defense warning vehicles deployed by the Anjia Army throughout the town rang. Hu Jialin and Huang Zhi looked at each other, their expressions changed immediately, and they quickly returned to the underground headquarters.
Hu Jialin no longer cared about his image. He grabbed the walkie-talkie and asked the correspondent to connect to the frequency of the legion headquarters. He quickly contacted Zhang Chengzhu, Lu Yixuan and others, requesting immediate evacuation and concealment to minimize the losses of the troops.
Zhang Chengzhu's voice sounded very anxious. He said that the field hospital's convoy was just crossing the Chaobai River. A large number of vehicles were crowded in the narrow area between the Jiangan River and the Chaobai River. There were no woods around to hide. Hu Jialin suddenly became anxious and said that at all costs,
Can grab
We must rescue as many wounded and sick people as possible, and we must not let the soldiers bleed or shed tears. Lu Yixuan's voice quickly came from the microphone. He said that he would immediately lead people to evacuate, and then he actively cut off the call. Even Hu Jialin wanted to say a word
"Take care" has no chance.
The guards standing outside the underground bunker saw the densely packed fleet of aircraft flying from Yanjiao to Beiwu Town, and then the overwhelming aerial bombs fell to the ground. They hurriedly rushed into the bunker and shouted: "Get down, I'm here."
We saw several aerial bombs falling towards our heads!"
Everyone did not dare to neglect, and quickly squatted down to the ground with their heads in their hands, trying to reduce the exposed area of the body. Unexpectedly, there was a "bang bang bang" sound above their heads. It was obvious that the bomb was colliding with the ceiling paved with rails.
An explosion occurred immediately.
"It's strange, there are so many aerial bombs, why don't the ground even tremble? The sound is not loud enough, these aerial bombs are not powerful..."
Hu Jialin stood up, patted the dust on his body, and then listened, but there were still bursts of "bang bang bang" sounds coming from his ears, and he couldn't help but frowned in confusion.
Most of the people in the bunker stood upright. Zheng Congjian listened carefully, shook his head, and strode to the lookout entrance with some confusion.
Huang Zhi was confused and murmured to himself: "Is it a dumb bomb? No, so many aerial bombs fell, they can't all be dumb bombs..."
Speaking of this, what did Huang Zhi think of? His expression changed. He turned around and saw Zheng Cong, who was standing in front of the lookout, pointing outside and stammering: "It's...poison...
.poison......"
Huang Zhi's heart sank, and he and Hu Jialin rushed to the lookout. After a closer look, their eyes were instantly filled with horror, and they shouted together:
"Poison gas bombs! The Japanese planes dropped poison gas bombs!"
I saw that the Anjiajun position outside was shrouded in thick smoke. For a while, no one could be seen clearly, and a strong smell of garlic hit my face.
Just after smelling it, Huang Zhi felt a sting in his eyes. He quickly turned his head and ordered loudly: "Quick, block all the vents, wet the towel with water, cover your nose and mouth, and move quickly, otherwise you will inhale it."
Too much gas can be dangerous..."
At this time, Zheng Congjian had broken free from the terrifying legend of poison gas bombs, and quickly led his staff, as well as Hu Jialin and Huang Zhi's bodyguards, to start taking action. However, it was too late. A large amount of smoke poured in from the lookout and the tunnel behind.
The entire underground headquarters was filled with poisonous gas in an instant.
Several staff officers and guards rushed forward, dragged Hu Jialin and Huang Zhi to the corner, stuffed two wet handkerchiefs over their noses and mouths, and then covered them with several thick marching quilts.
.
Hu Jialin and Huang Zhi were already tired, hungry, and extremely weak. Now they inhaled a large amount of poisonous gas and fell into a coma.
