Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

After some discussion, it was finally decided that the 1st and 4th Battalions would be responsible for the frontal attack in this battle, while the artillery battalion would be responsible for providing fire cover.

The other two battalions attacked from the sides to disperse the Japanese defensive forces.

The regiment's cavalry company went around the back of the Japanese defenders, and once the Japanese could no longer resist and fled, the cavalry company made full use of its superior speed to pursue and kill them.

The troops directly under the other regiments exist as reserve forces. Once problems arise in any direction, they can rush forward directly and make sure to defeat the enemy in front of them as quickly as possible.

This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later. As soon as the meeting ended, the entire 358th Regiment took action.

In order to boost morale, Chu Yunfei took out a large amount of canned food and compressed biscuits so that all the soldiers in the regiment could have a good meal, so that the soldiers would have enough strength when chasing the enemy.

After hearing this, the soldiers were all extremely excited. It was finally their turn to launch a counterattack. In this situation where they were sure to win, they had to perform well so that they could get huge rewards after the war.

To be honest, although their commander Yan is stingy with others, he is quite generous to his own troops. It's a pity that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has never had many outstanding achievements.

In the Battle of Xinkou that year, more than 100,000 Shanxi-Suiyuan troops were defeated by the Sakahara Division. Although most of the generals fought bravely and even died heroically, the final outcome was that they kept losing cities and territories, and finally even Taiyuan was lost. It makes people sad to mention it.

Now, if they could wipe out a field regiment of the Japanese with the strength of a regiment, then the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would be able to hold their heads high and brag about it.

Once people have a goal that they are sure to win, they will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Just half an hour later, the 358st Battalion of the th Tian of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army switched from a defensive state to an offensive formation, and the mountain artillery battalion was also ready for shelling.

Following Chu Yunfei's order, the twelve artillery pieces of the mountain artillery battalion began to bombard the temporary positions built by the Japanese.

The forward positions built by the Noda Regiment were originally designed to facilitate the troops' offensive, and they didn't pay much attention to defense. After all, with their arrogant character, they didn't need defense at all, they just had to keep attacking.

A half-crippled battalion of troops left behind by Noda Kumaji, led by their captain, were trying to reinforce their positions for better defense when a large number of mountain artillery shells fell from the sky, killing and injuring many Japanese soldiers.

With no other options, the remaining Japanese soldiers could only lie on the ground to avoid the artillery fire from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Unlike the previous bombing of the 358th Regiment, Hexian County had built a complete defensive fortification with a large number of anti-artillery holes, so ordinary mountain artillery could not cause much damage.

On the other hand, the situation on the Japanese side is completely different. They are always arrogant and think that they have powerful artillery and can attack anyone they want. There is no need to be on guard against other people's artillery fire. This is a joke.

So, when groups of artillery shells fell on their heads, everything became tragic, and many Japanese soldiers were directly blown to pieces by the high-explosive bombs.

Moreover, because the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had more artillery pieces, the coordination between infantry and artillery was quite good.

After the artillery battalion stopped firing, the infantry rushed towards the Japanese positions, led by submachine guns and light machine guns, catching the Japanese off guard.

The enemy captain had no choice but to order everyone to withdraw from the front line and come to the previous location of the regiment headquarters, intending to hold the position here.

However, the 358th Regiment's attack speed was too fast this time. After rushing into the position, they were entangled with the Japanese. In the end, the battalion commander only led two hundred soldiers to retreat to the regiment headquarters.

The other three hundred people died in the previous shelling and the subsequent melee. This was mainly because the Type 38 rifles and Type 38 pistols were not as effective as the Mauser pistols, submachine guns and light machine guns in close combat.

At the same time, the Japanese were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and could not organize much resistance, so they were overwhelmed by the human wave advantage of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

However, when they attacked the Japanese core position, they encountered great difficulties.

The Japs were still Japs after all, even if they were in a poor state, they were not something that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army could easily control.

After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and even the down-and-out Japanese devils are not easy to mess with. The remnants of the Noda Regiment, relying on the veterans' accurate marksmanship, suppressed the attacking Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

The 358st Battalion of the th Regiment organized several attacks, but was beaten back every time and suffered many casualties.

With no other options, several battalion commanders chose to surround the Japanese and continuously consume the enemy's ammunition.

At this time, Chu Yunfei also rushed over with the people from the regiment headquarters and commanded the final attack.

"Chief of Staff Fang, take the Second, Third, and Fourth Battalions to go around and chase the retreating Japanese troops, but remember one thing, don't chase too closely, and drive the enemy into the encirclement of the other three regiments."

"Oh, right, have each battalion leave their mortar platoons behind. After the battle here is resolved, we will lead the troops to catch up."

After arranging all this, Chu Yunfei concentrated the artillery of the entire regiment and bombed the last position of the Japanese devils.

Although the mountain artillery made in Shanxi could not catch up with the Japanese artillery of the same type in terms of accuracy and range, the explosive power of the shells was still quite good.

An artillery battalion had twelve mountain cannons, plus about thirty mortars of various types, which continuously bombarded the Japanese's simple positions. After a few shells, the fortifications were blown to pieces.

The Japanese were also bombed to the point of suffering heavy casualties. Most importantly, all the enemy's positions on which they relied for resistance were destroyed, and they could no longer stop the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's attack.

After all, they now have absolute firepower advantage, and this is an action of hitting a drowning dog. The soldiers of the 358st Battalion of the th Regiment all fought bravely and rushed forward directly after the shelling stopped.

The mountain artillery group then extended its firing, and the mortars followed the troops in the charge, providing fire support at any time, while also being responsible for destroying the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns.

After another hour of bloody fighting, the last Japanese soldier was killed and the battle was completely over.

In order to wipe out these 358 Japanese devils cleanly and efficiently, the 200th Regiment also suffered more than outstanding soldiers killed or wounded. However, everyone felt that it was worth it. This could be regarded as an unprecedented victory, which was worth celebrating at any time.

But Chu Yunfei was not satisfied with this. His target was the entire Noda Regiment. Only by defeating this Japanese field regiment could he and his 358th Regiment become famous in China. Even leaving their names in history was not impossible.

Chu Yunfei is a very self-disciplined person and he doesn't have many hobbies in his life, but the desire to leave a name in history is something that no Chinese person can refuse.
