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

For two days in a row, the 6th Column and the 2nd Independent Division's attacks on Dehui were not successful. Although they were equipped with about 80 mountain and field artillery, they did not concentrate their efforts on one point.

Although the defending 50th Division of the New First Army had only two regiments, their fortifications were very solid, with various bunkers, trenches and barbed wire covering every corner of Dehui City.

After suffering huge casualties, the 6th Column's offensive temporarily stopped as they waited for support from headquarters!

Donglatun,

Changchun direction,

Finally, a long line appeared on the road.

There were more than 20 tanks leading the way.

The enemy troops reinforcing Dehui finally appeared!

Guo Qiang had a serious look on his face.

Because today,

The other two regiments of the 18th Division were also taken away by the division commander!

Today, the 6th Column will launch a full-scale attack on Dehui!

What made him even more worried was that the enemy did not give up Dehui and began to send reinforcements in large numbers.

Facing the reinforcements of the New 1st Army with American weapons, Guo Qiang was now feeling uneasy.

Not only was he outnumbered, but the only four infantry guns he had were also withdrawn by the division commander to participate in the siege of Dehui!

The telegram from the division headquarters finally arrived.

The division commander gave a death order that no matter what, the enemy must be stopped in Donglatun for at least one day to ensure that the main force of the column could attack the city smoothly!

Behind a ridge on the west side of the road, there were 11 soldiers from the third battalion lying down. Their battalion was the first line of defense. Squad leader Ma Jinbiao looked at the approaching tanks and suddenly waved his arms.

Two soldiers rushed out with Iron Fist rocket launchers on their shoulders. They stopped about 50 meters away from the road and knelt in the snow.

Soldier Wang Xu's hands were shaking with nervousness. He gasped for breath and tried hard to calm his nervous mood.

On the road, an enemy tank was driving aggressively, its tracks rolling over the ground, raising clouds of dust. Wang Xu took a deep breath, steadied himself, shouldered the Iron Fist rocket launcher, and aimed at the steel behemoth.

He opened the safety, and with a roar, he pressed the launch lever hard, and the rocket shot out, whistling towards the tank with anger and determination. In an instant, a dazzling flame burst out, accompanied by a huge explosion, and a hole was instantly torn in the tank's armor, emitting billowing black smoke.

There were loud explosions and more than a dozen thick black smoke billowed on the road. The reinforcements came from the 22nd Division of the New First Army, and in the front was the division's direct tank battalion!

In this instant, less than 5 minutes, the tank battalion had lost more than half of its tanks. The remaining 8 tanks were so scared that they quickly reversed!

Wang Xu threw away the launch tube and quickly turned around and ran back. On the battlefield, squad leader Ma Jinbiao was directing a Type 96 light machine gun in the squad to fiercely fire at the enemy behind the tank!

After being ambushed, the Kuomintang troops were in chaos, firing blindly in all directions.

Wang Xu picked up his automatic rifle and kept pulling the trigger. After firing a burst of bullets, he heard the squad leader's roar.

"Stop shooting! Stop shooting!"

The enemy has withdrawn.

Wang Xu quickly took out a can of food and started eating it during the break in the fight!

After breakfast this morning, everyone was given two cans of food. Although it was not yet lunch time, Wang Xu was exhausted. This was the first time he destroyed a tank alone! This made him quite excited!

Ma Jinbiao lay in the snow, took out a cigarette and smoked it silently. He knew that the brutal battle had just begun.

The sound of artillery shells piercing the sky suddenly rang out.

"Be careful to hide!" Ma Jinbiao covered his ears with his hands and closed his eyes tightly. They had no way to dig anti-artillery holes, so when the artillery bombardment came, they could only leave it to fate!

Whether you can survive depends entirely on luck!

Shells exploded one after another on the Third Battalion's position, and from time to time, the bodies of soldiers could be seen flying into the air. Wang Xu's body was tense, and his eyes were filled with fear and helplessness. His hands trembled involuntarily. The sound of artillery fire in his ears was deafening, and every explosion made his heart clench.

Wang Xu is not a rookie recruit, he has been in the army for three years, but every artillery bombardment on the battlefield still scares him, just like going through the gates of hell!

The bombardment finally stopped.

Wang Xu shook off the dust and snow foam on his body.

He placed his automatic rifle on the ridge of the field and stared straight ahead.

The dark mass of enemy troops, led by four tanks, rushed forward madly!

Wang Xu's finger was on the trigger, waiting for the signal to fire.

As the Maxim heavy machine gun in the platoon started to rattle, Wang Xu also pulled the trigger.

After five bursts of fire, he had used up all the bullets in his magazine. He had just replaced a magazine. Now their entire squad was equipped with a light machine gun and three automatic rifles. Their firepower was unprecedentedly strong and they were not afraid of the enemy's human wave charge at all!

Less than half an hour later, the enemy retreated, leaving behind two destroyed tanks and more than a hundred bodies!

in the afternoon,

Donglatun,

In a cellar,

There is a table against the wall.

There is a radio on it.

The telegraphist was wearing headphones and writing something down with a pen.

"The division headquarters is calling!"

Guo Qiang paced back and forth, anxiously asking,

"What did the telegram say?"

"There is no reinforcement! The attack on Dehui has reached a critical moment. You must hold on for at least another three hours until six o'clock in the evening!"

Chief of Staff Lin Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Captain, three hours should be no problem. The Second Battalion hasn't moved yet! Should we let the Second Battalion take over from the Third Battalion?"

Guo Qiang waved his hand.

"No, the reserve team cannot move. The battle of Dehui is more important. We must not let anything go wrong here!"

Today, the enemy launched at least six attacks on the 54th Regiment from the front and flanks, and in addition to the loss of nearly tanks, more than bodies were left behind.

Political Commissar Ji Yuan said,

"Firepower is still king. Although our infantry artillery has been taken away, with the rocket launchers and automatic rifles in our hands, our squad-level firepower still overwhelms the enemy, and the casualty rate has been greatly reduced!"

Lin Tao said,

"In the past, when we fought tanks, the soldiers carried explosive packs and risked their lives. Now we have rocket launchers, and the third battalion destroyed fourteen tanks in one ambush! It's a pity that it was a one-time operation. We have to ask the old company commander for a batch next time!"

While the 54th Regiment was fighting bloody battles,

Dehui here,

The battle was fierce.

After the arrival of the 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment of the headquarters, the 6th Column immediately gained a clear advantage.

This time, the 16st Heavy Artillery Regiment brought in 150 mm cannons. After an hour of bombardment, they fired more than rounds in total, directly clearing all the outer firing points and obstacles!

In the afternoon attack, five regiments, the 16th Division from the east, the 17th Division from the south, and the 18th Division from the west, launched continuous attacks and eventually broke through the enemy's layers of defense. The fierce fighting lasted until 8 o'clock in the evening. The commander of the 50th Division, Pan Yukun, led a guard company and disguised themselves as East Alliance soldiers and fled in panic under the cover of night!

Dehui finally fell into the hands of the Northeast Democratic Alliance!
