Chapter 157: Annihilation of the 4th Japanese Brigade
The temporary command post of the Japanese Fourth Brigade in Xiaoli Village.
Fumio Kawamura was anxiously arranging the deployment of various troops.
At this moment, all the members of the Fourth Brigade were surrounded in Xiaoli Village.
Fumio Kawamura was very anxious and the current situation made him feel helpless.
At this time, the chief of staff walked into the command center.
"Reporting to His Excellency the Brigade Commander, the casualties have been counted."
"The 3242th Brigade lost nearly 3000 people in today's battle, including a large number of wounded. Now we have less than soldiers who can continue to fight."
When Kaoru Kawamura heard about the casualties, he couldn't believe it.
"Nani?"
"How is that possible? The 4th Brigade lost so many soldiers in just one day."
"Bagaya road!"
Kaoru Kawamura said angrily in the command center that he could not accept this result.
The Fourth Brigade was actually defeated by the Eighth Route Army, which was a great shame in his military career.
"Your Excellency, the Brigade Commander, we have been surrounded by the Ping'an County Battalion. The facts are already here."
"Please ask your Excellency the Brigade Commander to urge reinforcements as soon as possible," the Chief of Staff said worriedly.
"Chief of Staff, I have received a call back from the headquarters."
"All the armies in the northwest of Shanxi have come to support us. As long as we hold our position and delay the Ping'an County Brigade, the reinforcements will surround the county brigade..." Kawamura Fumio said confidently.
at the same time.
The Ping'an County Brigade deployed heavy troops on the outskirts of Xiaoli Village.
Gundam arranges combat missions in the temporary command center.
"Everyone, the Japanese Fourth Brigade has been surrounded by us in Xiaoli Village. Now they can't escape even if they have wings."
"Next, we will launch a general attack on Xiaoli Village."
Gundam looked at the artillery company commander, Li Dazhu.
"Li Dazhu, before launching the general attack, your artillery must fire all shells to Xiaoli Village as soon as possible,............."
"Yes, Captain."
"The artillery company will go all out to blow all the little devils up into the sky."
Li Dazhu answered loudly.
"Very good, this is the kind of momentum we need, Li Dazhu, now it's time to watch your artillery performance."
After saying that, Gaoda looked at Li Dakang and Kong Jie.
"You two, it is now 4:30 p.m. I have decided to launch a general attack on Xiaoli Village at 6 p.m. to wipe out the fourth brigade of the Japanese in one fell swoop."
"In the next period of time, the soldiers of each company must quickly replenish their status and prepare to launch a general attack."
"Yes, Captain." The two responded in unison.
At this time, the communicator came in.
"Reporting to the captain, intelligence personnel from various places have sent back news."
"read."
"All the Japanese troops in the northwest of Shanxi are being urgently mobilized and rushed to Ping'an County. The Japanese troops in the Taiyuan area are also dispatched."
Gundam smiled and said after hearing this.
"It seems that the Japanese are determined to rescue the 4th Brigade this time. They have even dispatched the Japanese in the Taiyuan area."
"The Japanese want to rescue the Fourth Brigade, but I will make sure their efforts are in vain."
Kong Jie said with a smile.
"Captain, it's wishful thinking for the little devils to save us."
Gundam urged, "Alright, go down and make arrangements. We must completely wipe out the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese this time."
With the order for the general attack issued.
The soldiers of the county brigade quickly replenished their weapons and ammunition and took a break.
Li Dazhui led the artillery to establish artillery positions outside Xiaoli Village.
40 infantry guns and 50 81mm mortars were placed in the artillery positions in sequence, with their muzzles aimed at Xiaoli Village.
Anyway, the entire Xiaoli Village is full of Japanese soldiers, so there is no need to worry about accidentally bombing civilians.
Not far from the artillery position, 30 rocket launchers are ready.
The soldiers worked desperately to carry ammunition into the position. This time they wanted to use up all the shells.
The artillery soldiers were very excited. They had never fought such a rich battle before and did not have to worry about the consumption of artillery shells at all.
The time came to 5: in the afternoon.
All the guns on the artillery positions were ready.
Li Dazhu stood next to the position and shouted loudly with a big loudspeaker.
"Comrades, I now require you to use up all your shells within half an hour."
"Now all gunners, please pay attention, target Xiaoli Village."
"fire!"
When the gunners heard Li Dazhu's order to fire, they pulled the gun ropes without hesitation.
The mortar gunner quickly put the shells into the barrel.
“Boom boom boom…”
“Knock, knock, knock…”
For a moment, the entire artillery position was filled with smoke and the sound of artillery was deafening.
Hundreds of artillery shells drew an arc in the sky and flew towards Xiaoli Village.
"Comrades, reload quickly and fire."
The soldiers on the position fired quickly and calmly.
At this time, the rocket launcher position not far away also opened fire.
360 rockets were activated in an instant and all fired within just a few seconds.
“Swish, swish, swish….”
Countless rockets flew towards Xiaoli Village with long tails of flames.
When the Japanese soldiers in Xiaoli Village heard the violent whistling sound coming from the sky, their faces changed drastically and they ran into the anti-artillery holes or looked for shelter.
Under the watchful eyes of the soldiers of the county brigade.
Countless artillery shells and rockets fell into Xiaoli Village, instantly causing a violent explosion.
“Boom, boom….”
The sound of the explosion resounded through the sky, and the soldiers were filled with excitement.
A large number of Japanese soldiers were killed by artillery shells, and many Japanese soldiers hiding in bunkers were also killed by rockets.
The power of each rocket is equivalent to that of a 155mm heavy artillery shell. 360 rockets are equivalent to 360 large-caliber artillery shells falling on the Japanese positions at the same time, instantly creating countless large pits.
The shelling lasted for more than half an hour.
The entire Xiaoli Village has become a ruin, and there is not a single intact house to be seen.
The Japanese soldiers of the 4th Brigade were mentally broken by the bombing.
This wave of large-scale bombing killed nearly 2000 Japanese devils in total.
The temporary command post of the 4th Brigade was hit by a rocket on the spot, and all the Japanese officers including Kawamura Fumio were killed.
After the smoke cleared, Gaoda led the soldiers of the county brigade to launch a general attack.
The remaining Japanese soldiers fought desperately under the organization of the officers and vowed not to surrender until death.
Half an hour later.
The soldiers of the county brigade easily killed all the remaining Japanese devils.
The once invincible Fourth Brigade of the Japanese was completely wiped out by the county battalion.
The entire battle took less than an hour. The main reason for this was that the 4th Brigade was surrounded, and coupled with the county brigade's crazy bombing at all costs, it achieved such a brilliant result.
