Chapter 290: Defeating the 22nd Japanese Brigade
290 Defeated the 22nd Japanese Brigade
On the front line, in the headquarters of the 108th Brigade of the National Army, Brigade Commander Yang Guangyu was looking at the telegram in his hand, extremely excited.
"Quick, notify the two commanders at the front.
Let them withdraw their troops and downsize on the spot.
We will wait for the rocket launchers in our city to cover the Japanese blocking positions with firepower.
Just charge at me.
Behind us, we have friendly forces on Zijin Mountain to cooperate with us.
Attack the Japs from the front and back."
As Brigade Commander Yang spoke, his expression became ferocious.
“Tell the brothers that the time for revenge has come.
Kill him ruthlessly for me."
Soon, after receiving the order, the two regiments of soldiers from the 108th Brigade that were still attacking on the front line withdrew one after another.
Behind the Japanese blocking position, in the headquarters of the 22nd Brigade, Major General Yoshikatsu Kuroiwa watched the retreating soldiers of the 36th Army through a telescope.
Show a proud expression.
"Yo, Yamaguchi-kun fought very well in this battle.
After annihilating the Chinese 36th Division and capturing Purple Mountain.
Our brigade must be the one that deserves the most credit.
When the time comes, I will certainly ask the Commander-in-Chief for credit for Yamaguchi-kun and his regiment."
The leader of the Japanese brigade, Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu, smiled triumphantly.
He was already imagining that after the victory of this battle, their 22nd Brigade would be the biggest contributor to the battle.
How should I accept the commendation from the old devil Matsui Iwane?
"Hey, His Excellency the Brigade Commander.
This time, the battle situation in Zijin Mountain is so stalemate.
We were able to seize this great opportunity thanks to your wise decision-making, General."
The Japanese chief of staff next to him did not forget to flatter him at this time.
However, these two old Japanese guys didn't even laugh.
"Nani?"
Suddenly, they saw countless spots of light appearing in the western sky.
When the Japanese brigade commander saw it with his own eyes, he was surprised because it was too far away to see clearly.
Then he raised the telescope and looked towards the west.
Unfortunately, I still can’t see clearly.
But it doesn’t matter. After a while, the rockets falling from the sky hit the Japanese blocking position in front.
There was a deafening explosion, and the light shot up into the sky, covering the entire Japanese blocking position.
The commander of the Japanese 22nd Brigade, Major General Yoshikatsu Kuroiwa, knew what those light spots he saw were.
"Baga, it's the Chinese's heavy artillery."
The Japanese brigade commander was also shocked and angry when he saw this scene.
Boom boom boom!
At this time, rockets with a caliber of more than 100 mm hit the Japanese positions hard.
Explosion!
There are more than 120 such heavy rockets.
All of their energy was poured onto the blocking position of the Yamaguchi Regiment of the 22nd Brigade of the Japanese.
Rumble!
At this time, on the blocking position of the Japanese Yamaguchi Regiment in front, all the Japanese soldiers were there.
They could not hear any other sounds in their ears.
All I could hear was a huge explosion. My ears were buzzing and I couldn't even hear my companions' screams.
All they saw was their companions being blown up and their flesh and blood flying all around them.
The broken limbs of Japanese soldiers were everywhere.
“Great job!”
On the side of the 36th Division, countless soldiers watched as the Japanese blocking positions were bombarded by rocket launchers.
Also extremely exciting.
The previous attack caused them considerable losses.
At this time, all the soldiers of the 36th Division were gnashing their teeth in hatred towards the Japanese devils from the 22nd Brigade who were blocking the front.
"Check your ammunition.
When the shelling stops, follow me and charge forward.
Kill all the Japanese devils up there.
Revenge for the brothers who died in battle!"
On the side of the 108th Regiment of the 205th Brigade, after each company withdrew, they took advantage of this short period of time to quickly downsize.
The several companies that were originally crippled were quickly reduced to form a new company.
This will improve combat effectiveness.
At this time, the commander of the 205th Regiment gave pre-war encouragement to the rows of soldiers.
"Revenge, revenge!"
The soldiers of the 205th Regiment shouted in unison.
Morale is high!
These soldiers looked at the bodies of their comrades lying on the battlefield ahead.
At this time, my heart was already filled with anger.
They wanted to continue the attack and fight the Japanese desperately.
Not long after, when the last rocket fell from the sky, the entire Japanese Yamaguchi Regiment's blocking position was destroyed.
It had been blown to pieces.
In the end, no one knows how many Japanese were killed in this wave of bombing.
However, at this time, the Japanese soldiers who were still alive on the blocking position were all dizzy and in a miserable state.
"charge!
kill! "
Then, the three main regiments of the 36th Division launched another strong charge at this time.
This time, the soldiers of the 36th Division who were charging were much weaker due to the Japanese firepower.
Not long after, the first group of National Army soldiers attacked the Yamaguchi Regiment's blocking position.
Da da da!
The commandos at the front were madly holding fire,
The bullets fired from each submachine gun carried the will for revenge of these national army soldiers.
The Japanese defense line, which was as solid as a rock before, was now as weak as paper.
"Baga, quickly get the Yamaguchi regiment to organize a counterattack and drive the Chinese off their positions."
In the headquarters of the Japanese 22nd Brigade, Major General Yoshikatsu Kuroiwa watched the soldiers of the 36th Army charging into the battlefield.
I realized that the situation was not good.
However, the Japanese brigade commander was not panicked.
Because the blocking position of the Japanese Yamaguchi Regiment stretched for more than two miles in front.
Even so, at this time, the soldiers of the 36th Division attacked the position.
As long as the Japanese behind react in time and hold several important commanding heights.
It would be enough to defeat the 36th Division's attack and then organize troops to launch a counterattack.
It would not be a problem to drive back the attacking soldiers of the 36th Division.
After all, the Yamaguchi Regiment of the Japanese 22nd Brigade has at least more than people.
Even if they were hit by rocket launcher fire, they would not be completely powerless to fight back.
Beep!
As a result, at this moment, a Kuomintang army unit suddenly appeared behind the side of the Japanese Yamaguchi Regiment's blocking position.
The charge was sounded.
They attacked directly from the rear of the Yamaguchi Regiment of the Japanese, and together with the three regiments of the 36th Division, they attacked the Yamaguchi Regiment of the Japanese from the front and back.
"idiot!
How come there is a Chinese army behind us?"
The commander of the 22nd Brigade of the Japanese army felt a chill down his spine after seeing this scene.
He didn't expect that there was such a national army unit hiding behind him.
At this time, this regiment of the 1st Militia Division broke out from behind the Japanese Yamaguchi Regiment.
It became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Japanese Yamaguchi Regiment.
If it weren't for this regiment of the 1st Militia Division, it would have launched a sudden attack from the rear.
The Japanese Yamaguchi Regiment does still have a chance to hold its ground.
But now, everything is over.
"kill!"
On the battlefield, the shouts of the national army soldiers were everywhere.
They rushed all the way with unstoppable force. The Japanese soldiers of the Yamaguchi Regiment were also frightened by the formation of the National Army soldiers.
Finally there was a rout.
No matter how fierce these Japanese soldiers are or how strong their fighting will is.
In this situation, the only option is to flee.
