Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Chapter 363: Encirclement and Annihilation of Nozoe Masato (1)

Antu County, Shirengou,

On the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces' blocking position,

Puffs of smoke rose up,

There were loud explosions everywhere.

It almost deafens one's ears.

Pan Hu, commander of the 3nd Battalion of the 2rd Brigade of the First Army, was lying in the trench!

Don't dare to move!

They had just spent two hours digging this makeshift trench.

The enemy caught up!

In order to cover the continued transfer of the main force of the regiment, Pan Hu led his troops to repel four attacks by the Japanese and puppet troops!

After a long time, the artillery fire finally stopped!

A voice cried out,

"The devils are coming again!"

Pan Hu quickly stretched out his head.

He shook the dust off his head.

Front line,

More than a hundred puppet soldiers and dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed over frantically again!

"Grenade!"

"Battalion Commander, we have run out of grenades in the grenade launcher!" shouted a grenadier not far away!

Pan Hu was so angry that he slapped his thigh!

Suffocated!

What kind of battle is this?

Being beaten passively every day,

Being chased around by the Japanese!

There is also a severe shortage of ammunition!

In the past month, since Nozoe Masato assembled more than 20,000 Japanese puppet troops to launch another major campaign in South Manchuria,

The main force of the army moved to the North Korean border.

The 3rd Brigade was tasked with pretending to be the main force and gradually led the enemy northward.

We fought hard almost every day, and consumed a huge amount of food and ammunition. Since we could not get effective replenishment, we became more and more passive in the battle!

When the enemy rushed to fifty meters, Pan Hu gave the order to open fire!

Fierce gunfire soon echoed throughout the valley.

No one knew where this group of puppet soldiers came from, but their combat effectiveness was extremely strong. Seeing that the Anti-Japanese United Army lacked heavy firepower, these puppet soldiers charged forward with great force!

"Grenade! Grenade!" Pan Hu roared!

A round of grenades was thrown out,

More than thirty Japanese and puppet soldiers fell again!

He retreated in embarrassment again!

Pan Hu sat down tiredly and touched his pocket.

Took out a cigarette box!

It’s a pity that there is no cigarette left in it!

Pan Hu sighed, crumpled the cigarette box into a ball and threw it aside!

He couldn't help but miss the days when he was in the fourth squad under Yan Wang. It seemed that they never lacked supplies.

Later, the ammunition was transported by trucks. Not only did the troops not lack ammunition, but they also captured a lot of it every time!

A tall and thin man trotted out of the trench and came to Pan Hu. This was the company commander Chen Jiarui, who also had a worried look on his face.

"Captain, I just checked and found that we still have more than 40 people left! Half of them are wounded. We have less than 10 bullets per person and less than 1 grenade. It will be very difficult to continue fighting!"

Pan Hu looked at his watch. They had been blocking the pursuing enemy for more than ten hours, covering the main force's retreat to the south, and the brigade commander Wang Yaohui asked him to hold on for at least eight hours!

"Okay, the sniping time assigned by the brigade commander has come, let's retreat!"

***

Suddenly, heavy rain began to fall from the sky.

In a small forest,

The commander of the 3rd Brigade, Wang Yaohui, was wearing a raincoat.

Standing under a tree,

He looked at the cloudy sky.

His eyes were filled with anxiety.

I feel extremely depressed inside.

around,

Chief of Staff Sun Guangcai said,

"Brigade Commander, I don't know if the first battalion can hold on! Should we send someone over to check?"

Wang Yaohui waved his hand.

"If we can attract the main force of the Japanese army, it will be a victory, as long as Commander Yang and the other troops are safe!"

In Wang Yaohui’s mind, the most important thing must be the safety of the army headquarters. Their brigade is nothing!

Another reason why their brigade moved northward was to get in touch with the Jingpo Lake base. Unfortunately, this place was still too far away, 150 kilometers away from the base!

Starting from today, Wang Yaohui has instructed the radio operator to make a call every hour to see if he can get in touch with the friendly forces in Dunhua!

In the tent, the communicator was wearing headphones and nervously adjusting the radio. He suddenly shouted in surprise,

"Finally got the signal!"

He quickly took out a pen and began to record nervously!

After recording and quick translation,

The communicator ran out in a hurry!

"Brigade Commander, Chief of Staff, there's a telegram from the King of Hell!"

"Read!"

The two's voices trembled with excitement!

"Our troops have arrived at the Yaocha Mountain area in the northern part of the Da Puchai River. Please reply immediately! Liu Aiwu, the 5th Squadron of the Yanwang Squadron!"

Wang Yaohui and Sun Guangcai looked at each other and started laughing.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

The two of them went into the tent together!

He lay down in front of the map and studied it carefully!

Wang Yaohui said decisively,

"Notify the troops to head north and meet up with Liu Aiwu and his men, waiting for an opportunity to attack Da Puchaihe Town!"

Sun Guangcai nodded.

"Attacking Da Puchaihe Town can help us obtain the supplies we desperately need, and it can also attract the attention of the Japanese expeditionary force. It's a good idea! Brigade Commander, should we wait until the rain stops before we leave?"

"Okay! Then we can rest for another hour, just in time to wait for the first battalion!"

A few days passed in a flash.

Yin Xinjun finally tasted the chocolate and milk candy produced by the system!

The system's product, the taste is absolutely first-rate!

He immediately gave Sai Mulan a few packets to try, because his wife is a typical foodie!

These days, Yin Xinjun stayed at the base cautiously to look after the house!

This time, the commander of the Japanese army's expeditionary front, Iimura Tsuyoshi, was killed, and he was also worried about the Japanese's revenge!

Deeply afraid that the Japanese army will once again mobilize heavy troops to besiege the base!

In fact, it has been calm all the time!

From the 2nd, 4th, 11th, 12th plus the 38th and 39th divisions, including the independent 2nd and 4th garrisons!

Three and a half of the six main elite divisions of the Kwantung Army have been basically wiped out! Not only that, some troops have even been replaced twice!

Now all those who are on the top are conscripted reservists! Their combat effectiveness is far inferior to the first batch of Japanese soldiers!

There was another reason why the Kwantung Army was hesitant to launch an attack: the reinforcements from the country were too slow to arrive! They were short of manpower!

Yin Xinjun looked at the map.

The First Army on the Southern Front has no idea what the situation is now. Although there are several radio stations there, unfortunately they are all low-power radios and the communication distance does not exceed 100 kilometers!

I only knew a little about the situation of one of the armies from the enemy's battle reports, and it didn't seem too optimistic!

A few days ago, Ding Shan was asked to lead two more teams southward, and he also brought a high-power radio of the division, hoping to contact the comrades of the First Army as soon as possible!

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Chen Chao walked in.

"Report to the commander, Ding Shan has sent a telegram and has contacted Wang Yaohui's unit of the 3rd Brigade of the First Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. They are now in the Da Puchaihe Town area!"

"Da Puchai River?"

Yin Xinjun walked to the map. Of course he remembered this place. It was an important transportation route and he had fought there once!

"What else did you say specifically?"

"Wang Yaohui's brigade is approaching the Da Puchai River. Behind their brigade, closely following is the main force of the Japanese army's Nozoe Changde expeditionary force, about 10,000 people!" Chen Chao pointed to the map.

"And Deputy Commander Ding is currently leading three teams here, here and here!"

Chen Chao was gesturing on the map!
