NCCnovel Chapter 168 Total Annihilation
Chapter 168 Total Annihilation
The artillery company of the first battalion was not suppressed by the Japanese Type 75 infantry guns, so it immediately pulled out eight mm infantry guns. Facing the overwhelming enemy, it fired directly without any calibration.
In addition, the heavy machine gun company and the infantry companies also leaned out and fired back at the two enemy squadrons.
"Battalion Commander, the Japanese only brought two infantry squadrons to fight us, and the majority of the troops are rushing to Yuncheng like they are going to a funeral!"
"The damn Japanese are determined to support Yuncheng! Contact Wang Dalong of the tank battalion immediately. The Japanese infantry guns and mountain guns have been destroyed at full speed. Request them to bombard the enemy's marching team from the side!"
Wang Dalong, who had been waiting on the mountain until the flowers had withered, immediately became arrogant when he heard that the threat from infantry guns and mountain guns was no longer there.
"Damn it, drag out all the anti-tank guns. The Japs don't have any tanks or combat vehicles, load them all with high-explosive shells, attack the cars first, then the infantry!"
36 anti-tank guns were pushed out of the bunkers and, after being set up, they fired from high to low, just like a game of whack-a-mole, continuously bombarding the Japanese troops on the road below the mountain.
When they encountered the ignorant Japanese, they wanted to fight back with mortars, but were directly beaten into pieces by the "large-caliber sniper anti-aircraft guns".
The armored reconnaissance battalion used the Japanese's own Type 94 mountain gun to cut off the Japanese's tail bit by bit.
Kensuke Okazaki felt disappointed when he saw the dozens of firing points on the hillside less than one kilometer away from the team.
"Baga, where does the Eighth Route Army get such strong firepower!"
"Your Excellency, this is the First Armored Division of the Independent Column of Pingshun County!"
"Armored division? Humph, where are the tanks? I think they are just a bunch of boastful politicians who are just trying to embolden themselves! Order the troops to abandon unnecessary baggage and rush to Yuncheng at full speed to provide support!"
Although Kensuke Okazaki's 226th Regiment lost artillerymen, it was a team of more than people. Even if they were pigs, it was impossible for them to be killed by anti-tank guns and mountain artillery.
A battalion commander was sweating as he watched the 226th Regiment passing by quickly. If the road here was not flat, he would definitely choose a pass as a blocking position.
"Notify everyone to prepare for the charge and hold back the Japanese!"
There is no other way but to fight it head-on.
However, even if a battalion had semi-automatic rifles, it could not compete with a regiment, so the battalion commander was determined to die.
The communications soldier walked over quickly again.
"Battalion Commander, Commander Dai is calling!"
Dai Anlan began to formally issue combat orders in the command tank.
Five minutes later, the 105 howitzers of the 30st Battalion of the mm howitzer artillery regiment will bombard the Japanese troops and complete a base attack.
After the shelling ended, the 1st Battalion of the Armored Regiment and the Tank Regiment formed a cluster to push back the Japanese marching troops.
The armored reconnaissance battalion was responsible for blocking the enemy's retreat and strangling any enemy who attempted to escape back to Yongji County.
The anti-tank battalion will fight when the opportunity arises.
Five minutes later, 30 105mm howitzers roared and plowed through the Japanese marching troops like plowing the land.
Within ten minutes, 2400 high-explosive shells were fired, causing great losses to the Japanese who were caught off guard and knocking down nearly half of their soldiers.
The 36 anti-tank guns of the anti-tank battalion were also not idle, and they fired all their shells.
Wang Dalong looked at the sea of fire below the mountain and couldn't help feeling happy. He was happier than when he was eating barbecue, except that the taste was a bit weird.
The 30 Tiger tanks led by Dai Anlan have joined the armored vehicles of the first battalion and began to push back the Japanese troops.
"All units stop shelling, and the armored group charges!"
The tank regiment commander, Sun Desheng, was sitting in a tank with his upper body naked, commanding 30 tanks to spread out in a line and run over the Japanese.
The Japanese soldiers were stunned by the overwhelming artillery shells, and when they saw the Tiger tanks weighing dozens of tons, they were already frightened and fled to Yongji County with their heads in their hands.
Okazaki Kensuke took out his command knife and half-knelt on the ground.
"Baga, fight back! Fight back! Kill them!"
But Kensuke Okazaki did not seem to realize that their artillery had been completely lost and they had no anti-tank weapons at hand.
"Organize a death squad! The courage of the imperial soldiers can overcome everything!"
The Japanese quickly organized a suicide squad of more than one hundred people and launched a suicide attack on the armored cluster.
However, most of the "human bombs" were beaten into pieces when they were more than ten meters away from the tanks.
Only two Japanese soldiers lying on the ground pretending to be dead threw cluster grenades onto the tracks of the tanks, breaking the tracks of the two tanks.
Sun Desheng, who is known for his aggressiveness, has never suffered such a loss.
"Fuck it, use the main guns to fire at long-range targets, and use the machine guns to sweep all the bodies on the ground."
After Sun Desheng finished speaking, he ordered the tanks to run over the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, like a tractor driving into a melon field, crushing the Japanese soldiers' heads until their brains burst out.
The armored vehicles were also scared when they saw the paralyzed Tiger tanks. Cluster grenades could only bomb the tracks of Tiger tanks, but they could blow up half-track armored vehicles!
"Damn it! Everybody, cheer up! Shoot every Japanese at least twice!"
When Kensuke Okazaki saw that the suicide attack was ineffective, he gave up the idea and began to consider retiring.
"Baga, save your strength, return to Yongji County, and then plan your great cause!"
Okazaki Kensuke, with the remaining one thousand or so Japanese soldiers, began to flee towards Yongji.
Wang Xikui snorted coldly. Isn't this treating him like a soft persimmon? This is intolerable!
"Brothers, this little Japanese is insulting us! Are you picking on the weak? Damn it, come after me!"
More than thirty armored vehicles were divided into two rows and began to counterattack the Japanese troops.
Wang Dawei's honest voice came from the walkie-talkie again.
"Xizi, your brother Wei is here to help out!"
"Wang Dawei, why are you trying to get involved? You are from the anti-tank battalion! Go fire your guns! Don't get involved!"
"How can you be so ungrateful? The anti-tank guns have already used up their shells. Besides, my armored vehicles also have machine guns!"
Wang Xikui had nothing to say! Although most of the troops in their anti-tank artillery battalion were equipped with self-defense pistols, there were indeed two 12.9mm machine guns on the armored vehicles.
Kensuke Okazaki never expected that he was now surrounded on three sides, with a tank cluster in the east and armored vehicle clusters in the west and south.
"Breakout to the north!"
Okazaki Kensuke fled to the plains to the north with the remaining thousand or so devils.
In his panic, Kensuke Okazaki forgot that their infantry had two legs, while the Eighth Route Army chasing them had four wheels. How could they escape in the plains?
No matter what choice you make, you have to run up the mountain! Although you have to face the armored vehicles of the anti-tank battalion, at least there is still a glimmer of hope.
The 226th Regiment was destroyed in an instant. Hundreds of armored vehicles and 28 Tiger tanks were chasing them. They could crush these pigs to death!
Okazaki Kensuke was also killed by a 12.9mm machine gun bullet.
Compared with blocking the 226th Regiment, blocking the mechanized infantry regiment of the 227th Regiment is not so easy.
