Chapter 33: Battle of Linyi (IV)

On March 14, Major General Miura faced the increasingly powerful offensives of the 59th Army and the 36th Brigade, and had to give up the siege and turn around to fight the 59th Army and the 36th Brigade head-on. Tangtou, Fu Jiachi, Caopo, and Santong, the Japanese army defended on the spot and stubbornly resisted the attack of the 26th Team. Xu Zuyi, the chief of staff of the war zone commanded by Linyi, seized the opportunity and ordered the Third Corps Pang Bingxun in Linyi City to attack the Japanese army from the west.

** After the 36th Brigade captured Youjiazhuang, it had sealed the way out of the Japanese army to the south, and the capture of Fujiadun, east-west water lake shores, etc. The 59th Army blocked the retreat route of the Japanese army to the east and north roads. Major General Miura had become a trapped beast. After two days of fighting, his troops had suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

The 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army was surrounded by the Central Army and compressed into more than a dozen villages with Tangtou, Fujiachi, Caopo and Santong as the core, with a radius of only a dozen miles. Caopo, the second brigade of the Japanese 42nd Regiment was defeated and retreated here. Major Araki was full of fire. He did not expect that the Central Army was too powerful, and his weapons were even more equipped than the Central Army, especially the submachine guns, and they were equipped at the first level of the squad. The power of the automatic firearm made Major Araki soberly realize that the Imperial Army was also fleshy, and it was not the will of steel that could withstand the steel bullet rain.

The machine gun company added four infantry cannons this time, and Xiang Fengwu was also very excited. He had heard that the Japanese 92 infantry cannons were very classic, and now he finally had four. Attacking Caopo, Yue Hanping gave the order to ask the machine gun company to practice their hands and practice the infantry cannon joint combat. Company Commander Xiang lined up the twelve mortars and four infantry cannons in a row. Wow, it was very majestic. 6 60 mortars, 6 82 mortars, and 4 70 mortars, measured the ruler, and Xiang Fengwu ordered: "Fire the cannon!" "Bang bang", "Bang bang bang" kept ringing. One 16 cannons fired volley, and one round of test fire, all the shells fell accurately on the Japanese positions.

The Japanese trenches were in a sea of ​​fire. Yue Hanping ordered a battalion not to shoot guns or shouting, and quietly touched the Japanese positions under the cover of shell bombardment. The Japanese fortifications were built quite exquisitely, and all heavy machine guns were placed in the bunker, and steel plates were reinforced outside the bunker, so they had strong anti-aircraft bombardment ability.

When the attacking Chinese team rushed up quietly, they could see clearly in the heavy machine gun bunker. The distance was about two hundred meters, "twist" and the 92 heavy machine gun sign sound suddenly remembered that more than a dozen soldiers in front were hit by machine gun bullets and were all killed. The other soldiers hurriedly lie on the ground, and the bullets "churried" into the soil on the land beside them. Yue Hanping's heart was thrust, and the attacking troops were discovered. The Japanese heavy machine guns pressed them tightly. They wanted to eliminate the heavy machine gun bunker as soon as possible, otherwise the casualties of the attacking troops would be too great.

"Xiang Fengwu!" The brigade commander shouted his name. Xiang Company Commander quickly ran to Yue Hanping, "Company Commander Xiang, is there any way to knock off those heavy machine gun bunkers?" Xiang Fengwu looked at the flames that were almost spitting against the ground, and nodded, "Brig Commander, you have to take some risk and push the infantry artillery to a distance of dozens of meters and fire the cover." Yue Hanping ordered all heavy machine guns and light machine guns to fire together, block the shooting holes of the bunkers, suppress the Japanese firepower, and cover the artillery to push the infantry artillery to a suitable distance.

On the position, the light and heavy machine guns sprayed bullets like water, tightly blocking the shooting hole of the Japanese bunker. Xiang Fengwu personally led an infantry cannon to about 150 meters, straightened the muzzle, measured the ruler, and with a "boom", the shells magically drilled into the shooting hole. With a roar, black smoke and minced meat flew out of the shooting hole. Three bunkers were killed in a row. Yue Hanping calculated that the heavy machine guns of this brigade should have been scrapped. So he signaled Xiang Fengwu to retreat quickly.

The Japanese heavy machine gun bunker was killed, eliminating the biggest threat for the offensive troops. The attacking troops took the opportunity to crawl forward to about 30 meters away from the trenches. The Japanese army in the trenches were blown up by the artillery fire of the Chinese team. Some tenacious soldiers blazed out of the artillery fire and fired outwards, and were blown one by one by one by Chinese snipers.

As the Chinese and Chinese troops were getting closer, the Japanese troops kept throwing grenades to the front of the position. While hiding, the Chinese and Chinese troops also threw grenades at the Japanese troops. A battalion rushed to the Japanese positions, and there was only one company. Yue Hanping urgently dispatched troops to follow up the attack, and the artillery extended artillery fire and intercepted the Japanese troops' follow-up echelons.

The two battalions rushed to the Caopo position and fought with the Japanese army. A Chinese soldier had a very good martial arts skill. He stabbed the bayonet and threw away the bayonet. A Japanese soldier was holding the bayonet. In desperation, he grabbed the muzzle of the rifle, crossed the buttstock, dodged the sword from the Japanese army, and the stock was hit on the Japanese head. The Japanese soldier's neck was smashed to a shorter length and his head was smashed, and the red and white splashed all over him, which was dirty. He took the rifle from the Japanese army and fought with other Japanese soldiers.

The gun was broken, the bayonet was also broken, and soldiers were fighting each other everywhere on the position. You pinched my neck and I grabbed your eyes. There was a Chinese soldier the most funny. He was not tall, but he specialized in the lower body of the Japanese army and held a grenade in his hand. If the Japanese army came to catch him, he seized the opportunity and aimed at his little brother, which made the Japanese soldier jump in his arms. He took the opportunity to aim at the Japanese army's head and hit him with a hammer, which made the Japanese soldiers' brains burst. After fierce battles, the two battalions suffered huge casualties and were defeated by the Japanese army.

Liu Wenye held the front line casualties report and said with distress: "Brig Commander, the casualties are too great. Although we use close combat, the Japanese army is very tenacious. We annihilated more than 1,200 Japanese soldiers, but our casualties are more than 2,000. The battle loss ratio is 1.5:1." Yue Hanping looked at him helplessly, "Brother Liu, the national strength is too weak, there is no way. Our equipment has been supplemented by Nanjing, and the German equipment purchased by Hanxiu has exceeded that of the Central Army. But there are too few artillery, so we use close combat.

The means of fighting were forced, with a 1.5:1 ratio of war loss, which was already very good. Chief Li was even more difficult. The Fifth War Zone formulated a detailed combat plan at the end of last year. The original plan was very feasible, but Han Fuqu gave up and retreated without fighting, which caught Chief Li off guard, and Xuzhou was directly facing the Japanese military commander. Chairman Jiang placed Chief Li in Xuzhou at this time. When he won, he was the honor of someone. If he lost, Chief Li would take responsibility." Liu Wenye also sighed for a while.

At this time, Luo Qi called the brigade headquarters, "Brig Commander, I am Luo Qi. The troops suffered too much casualties. Should we delay the attack?" Yue Hanping said firmly: "Captain Luo, you are an old brother of the Sichuan Army. You have participated in the Battle of Shanghai. When did you see our Sichuan Army beating? We have suffered great losses, but the Japanese army suffered greater casualties. Now it is more tenacity than the two armies. Let's see who is more tenacious. Organize a suicide squad for me and must break through the Japanese army. The 59th Army is about to capture the Japanese position, and General Pang Bingxun also launched a counterattack from Linyi City. The Japanese army was surrounded on three sides. You dare to let the Japanese devils go. I am engaged in military law." After that, he hung up the phone.

Luo Qi put down the phone and gritted his teeth, "Organize the suicide squad and attack me." The suicide squad of a company selected a submachine gun, and the regiment commander led the team personally. Luo Qi looked at more than 100 brothers, "Brothers, we are difficult, and the Japanese are even more difficult! We are like bulls now, whoever relaxes will be unlucky, you are the top picks carefully selected, the steel knife of our entire regiment, and the blade points to the invincible. I, Luo, are here to promote everyone! Come and drink!" A soldier brought a large wine jar, Luo Qi scooped a scoop of wine and handed it to the leading combat chief Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao took the wine scoop, took a sip, passed it down, and each person took a sip of wine. Lin Xiao saluted Luo Qi, "Captain, we are leaving!" Luo Qi waved his hand and said, "Go away!"

Lin Xiao led the commando and approached the Caopo position in secret. You could smell the thick blood floating on the position from afar. He attacked several times in a row and was repelled by the Japanese army. However, the continuous attack of the Chinese team was also unbearable. After all, the Japanese army had limited soldiers, and this tactic of consumption was the least willing to fight. Xiang Fengwu's mortars and infantry artillery bombarded the Japanese positions, and the Japanese positions were bombarded with steel and **, and the Japanese positions were bombed beyond recognition. Lin Xiao waved his hand, "Brothers, get a bayonet and rush forward!" The commando attacked with the rhythm of artillery fire. This time, Luo Qi fought hard. The attacking position was light and heavy, and the hot bullets covered the Japanese positions. The fierce firepower made the Japanese army unable to show their heads.

The commando was getting closer and closer. The Japanese army fought back in the trenches with artillery fire. The soldiers in front were knocked down, but no one stopped. The Japanese soldiers threw out grenades one after another, and Lin Xiao loudly ordered the commando to disperse the formation. Each team member kept a distance of about 5 meters to reduce the grenade killing. 30 meters, and the commando rushed to the position 30 meters. Lin Xiao pulled the trigger in his hand, and the "Tatta" submachine gun fiercely spit out flames and kept licking the position. The Japanese soldiers were hit one after another and fell into the trenches. Under the leadership of Lin Xiao, the commando rushed to the position with one go. Luo Qi hurriedly ordered the whole regiment to attack.

Caopo's position was once again caught in hand-to-hand combat, with soldiers flashing everywhere, one after another, Chinese soldiers rushed to the position, and the Japanese army was at the end of their strength and could not withstand the thunder attack of the China-National Team. Caopo was soon captured by the 71st Regiment of the 36th Brigade, and the Japanese army was completely surrounded. Major General Miura Toshi hurriedly reduced his troops and defended the Japanese Hedgehog Group, which had a tight defense line, could not break out for a while, but also increased the difficulty of the China-National Team's attack.
