Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 61: Fierce fighting in the village, everyone shows off their skills

"Order the artillery squad to bombard the enemy positions immediately~!"

"Hai!"

The only shortcoming of the Third Battalion was the lack of supporting weapons.

This is their weak point.

As an excellent commander.

Less than fifteen minutes into the fight, Kamimura discovered this.

This group of Shanxi-Suiyuan troops did not seem to be the main force.

As the battle continues.

Three minutes later, the soldiers opened the heavy machine gun position hidden behind the sandbags.

"Hit me hard!"

"Yes!"

The heavy machine gunner, who had been impatient for a long time, quickly pulled the trigger.

"Da da da da! Da da da da da~!"

Being a heavy machine gun shooter requires very high combat qualities from the soldiers.

Those who can become a heavy machine gun shooter are basically elite veterans.

When an expert makes a move, the sound of the gunshot feels different.

Just judging from the sound of gunfire.

All of them were accurate long bursts.

With one bullet chain, he knocked down four or five Japanese soldiers who were charging forward.

The heavy machine gun positions were difficult to move.

According to the combat habits of the 358th Regiment, it won't be until the critical moment.

The goal is to avoid exposing the position of our own heavy machine guns as much as possible.

Shooters can easily become mortal while providing sustained suppressive fire.

"Don't bother changing your ammunition yet. Wait until the Japs have finished bombing before you attack!"

"Yes!"

The heavy machine guns remained in place and the soldiers evacuated directly.

Weapons such as grenade launchers are difficult to destroy unless they hit directly.

But at the same time, the probability of heavy machine gunners being sacrificed is also the highest.

The soldiers who were on high ground took advantage of the terrain.

Naturally, they also had to face the bombardment of Japanese heavy weapons.

About the battle for the commanding heights of this unnamed high ground.

The fighting between the two sides was extremely fierce.

When launching an attack.

Some of their soldiers had their sides exposed inside the village.

This led to the Japanese soldiers fighting for positions upwards.

We also have to be wary of bullets fired from the village.

Under such circumstances, how can we make corresponding progress?
Kamimura frowned at this time.

The ammunition and troops that were originally supplied to them had lost contact.

There is a high probability that they will be annihilated by the enemy on the way.

Add to that the battle that took place a few days ago before the detour, and the harassment that lasted a day and a night.

This led to the Japanese troops he led.

In fact, the team was in a situation of being understaffed and with insufficient ammunition.

The 90mm mortar showed its power in front of the Third Battalion, which lacked heavy weapons.

The soldiers stationed on high ground really had no idea what to do with this thing for a while.

There is nothing we can do except to be bombed.

Relatively speaking, for the Japanese devils.

Artillery fire alone could not eliminate the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army troops on the hilltop.

Ten kilometers away.

386 Brigade, temporary headquarters.

The forward observation posts continued to report on the battlefield situation.

The original plan of taking the initiative to attack turned into positional defense by Luo Weiguo.

Although it did not follow the battle plan of Brigade Commander Chen.

But judging from the current battle situation.

The soldiers from the 358rd Battalion of the th Regiment fought unexpectedly well.

In the temporary command center at this time.

Commander Xu of the 771st Regiment, Commander Cheng of the 772nd Regiment, and Li Yunlong, commander of the New st Regiment as the reserve force, gathered together.

Several people could not reach a consensus on whether to take the initiative.

Both the commander of the 772nd Regiment, Cheng, and the commander of the New st Regiment, Li Yunlong, advocated taking advantage of this opportunity to quickly cut off the retreat route and surround and attack this group of Japanese devils.

Commander Xu said that he needed to observe the changes in the battlefield situation before making a decision.

After all, it was the Third Battalion that secretly changed the battle plan, and a mobile encirclement and annihilation battle turned into a blocking positional battle.

This made Captain Xu somewhat dissatisfied.

But he was also inclined to take the initiative to help the 358rd Battalion of the th Regiment break out of the siege.

After all, this troop fought really well.

During this period, the main force battalions of the regimental-level units were mostly first battalions.

The combat effectiveness of the third battalion is relatively weak.

The 358th Regiment, with only one battalion, was able to withstand the fierce attack of the Kwantung Army's elite troops.

Brigade Commander Chen expressed his opinion: "This kind of troops are completely different from the warlord troops we have encountered in the past. Our 386th Brigade must not sit idly by and watch them be wiped out by the Japanese!"

While several people were in a meeting, an investigator rushed in quickly.

His chest rose and fell rapidly, and he was even breathing heavily.

He saluted them quickly: "Report, Brigade Commander, the latest battle situation."

"The Japanese invaders have now all rushed into the village!"

Commander Cheng was horrified: "Oh no, Brigade Commander, I remember the headquarters of the Third Battalion is located in the village primary school of Zhuanshui Village!"

Captain Xu nodded: "If anything goes wrong, it will be difficult for us to report to our superiors, and Chu Yunfei may also become enemies. It seems that these damn Japanese devils want to eat them all. They have such a big appetite, aren't they afraid of being stuffed to death?"

Li Yunlong snorted coldly and said, "Brigade Commander, give the order to kill these sons of bitches!"

Brigade Commander Chen nodded and said, "According to the original battle plan, the 771st Regiment will immediately attack the eastern flank of the Japanese invaders. All units of the 772nd Regiment, except for the first battalion, will move to Zhangjiayuan and Guojiadu. We will not let a single Japanese escape!"

"Yes!"

Seeing his two old comrades taking orders to attack, Li Yunlong became anxious: "Brigade Commander, what about me?"

"you?"

Brigade Commander Chen raised his eyebrows and said: "Chenjiaba area is the last retreat of the Japanese invaders. If they are not desperate, they will never break out from there."

Li Yunlong nodded, quite apprehensive: "These little devils are just poor. What's the point of being poor?"

"no way no money!"

Li Yunlong nodded: "Yes, Brigade Commander, these damned little Japs are very difficult to deal with when they are at the end of their rope."

Brigade Commander Chen repeatedly emphasized: "You, the New 1st Regiment, must defend Chenjiaba for me. If you let a little Japanese soldier go..."

"If you let any of the Japanese escape, I'll tear off his head and use it as your chamber pot!"

Upon hearing this, Brigade Commander Chen laughed and scolded: "What do I need such a big head of yours for? Okay, go and get ready early!"

In Zhuanshui Village at this time.

After I heard that the Japanese invaders finally entered the village and engaged in street fighting.

Luo Weiguo suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

This kind of battle is the home ground of their Third Battalion!
"Boom~!"

The soldiers took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain.

The use of grenades and ubiquitous shooting holes caused heavy casualties to the Japanese invaders.

At the same time, the well-trained Japanese troops.

They also rely on their judgment of gunshots and use weapons such as grenades to counterattack.

The two sides fought back and forth, each showing off their skills.

The battle situation is tense.

The soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army seemed to be everywhere.

The attacking Japanese soldiers could only fight house by house.

While searching some rooms.

The inner room often has no door, only a curtain.

The Japanese soldiers entered the inner room to search.

And the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army soldiers hiding among them.

They would take this opportunity, step forward quickly, and thrust their bayonets directly into the chests of the Japanese invaders.

This tactic is simple and efficient.

It's called the Curtain War.

(This picture shows the guerrillas' curtain-raising battle in the Jizhong area)

The tactics are slightly different from those of the guerrillas.

Because of the walls between the houses, it was impossible to move quickly.

The solution Chu Yunfei gave was naturally to tear down the wall.

This style of fighting is a great test of the tacit cooperation between the fighters, and requires higher combat qualities.

If a team retreats secretly, the soldiers who are still holding their ground will be attacked from both sides.

Compared to the tunnel warfare used by the Ji-Zhong guerrillas.

This method is very convenient to use when fighting in villages in Shanxi Province, and it is more suitable for the 358th Regiment.

After being discovered by the Japanese invaders.

You can rely on the windows of the inner room (such as the bedroom or living room of a self-built house) to set up shooting.

If necessary, you can also take the initiative to abandon your position to avoid being hit by artillery fire and grenades.

For a time, this rogue style of fighting caused great pain to the Japanese invaders.
