Chapter 360 Assault
(Thanks to the book friend "Tianyahaijiafeng" for the 8 recommendation votes.)
At ten o'clock in the morning, the sky was slightly bright.
The weather was very cold and completely silent. A soldier covered Xie Yu with a piece of oilcloth.
Xie Yu first turned on the flashlight and checked the time, then compared it with the captured Japanese map and looked at the compass.
Then, Xie Yu asked the soldiers to put away the oilcloth, and then whispered: "This is the location, comrades, wait for fifteen minutes before we take action."
Sure enough, fifteen minutes later, a mortar shell suddenly hit a location.
Then there were not too many mortar shells, but three more mortar shells knocked down three positions of the Japanese army camp.
The Japs were severely beaten by several mortar shells. According to the data sent by Xie Yu, one of them even penetrated a Japs military tent, causing considerable casualties.
The Japs began to take action one after another, but the Japs with rich combat experience knew that the range of the mortars on Tubal Road was at least two kilometers, and they could not reach it with the grenades in their hands.
At this time, many ghost officers sent out orderlies one after another to notify the artillery team of the two Type 92 infantry guns. When encountering the artillery team, they immediately returned fire.
Xie Yu had been observing the Japs' actions with his six-fold mirror, and he probably had some data in his mind.
Sure enough, the mortar shell arranged by Xie Yu was moved to another position, and after another mortar shell was fired, the Japanese Type 92 infantry cannon calculated the data and immediately began to counterattack.
Xie Yu was extremely surprised when he saw the speed of the Japanese artillery counterattack. He really didn't expect the Japanese to move so quickly.
Thinking about the majority of revolutionary comrades who are illiterate, Xie Yu didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Xie Yu had explained in advance that after firing the second artillery shell, he immediately moved his position and supported the infantry in preparation for the attack.
Otherwise, Xie Yu's mortar artillery squad would have been killed by the Japanese Type 92 artillery.
But thank you, now that the Japanese 92 Infantry Cannon has appeared, Xie Yu will take action.
Soon Xie Yufa led the soldiers to advance in one direction for a while.
After finding a suitable position, Xie Yu took out the grenade and began to adjust the grenade's shooting data.
Then, some comrades threw the special grenade prepared in advance. After Xie Yu gave the signal, the soldier threw the special grenade and stuffed it into the muzzle of the grenade barrel.
Xie Yu made a slight adjustment, then pulled the tape under the grenade barrel, and heard a "bang" sound before the special grenade was fired.
The soldiers immediately followed Xie Yuzhi's previous instructions and immediately inserted a special grenade without looking at the shooting effect.
After Xie Yu fired two grenades, the Japanese artillery position finally began to roar, and the soldiers were distracted.
Xie Yu immediately shouted loudly: "What the hell are you thinking? Hurry up and reload, reload."
The soldier was kicked by the comrade behind him, but he reacted and immediately reloaded Xie Yu's ammunition.
He also specializes in throwing grenades to stay alive. With the blessing of the gourd mark, Xie Yu is not afraid of anything.
Xie Yu only used eight special grenades to eliminate the threat from the Japanese artillery position.
Then Xie Yu frantically shot at other threatening Japanese positions. After shooting another twenty special Japanese grenades, Xie Yu felt a great threat.
Under such circumstances, Xie Yu immediately asked his comrades to move.
After kicking two more stunned comrades, Xie Yu's team finally left the place.
They had not gone far when they saw the grenade position arranged by Xie Yugang, which was covered by the Japanese grenade hand.
The soldiers, who had just been in high spirits and were still complaining about Xie Yu's sudden retreat, immediately showed happy expressions.
Sure enough, Xie Yu then fired a few rounds of grenades at the grenade position, and then suddenly retreated and changed positions. No comrades said anything strange.
After all, who is not afraid of death? No matter how strong a soldier is, he still wants to kill as many Japanese as possible.
After Xie Yu's "wreaking havoc in heaven" for a while, he saw that the Japanese troops had become scattered and weak.
Suddenly, the sound of a charge was heard from the west. After the charge ended, there was the roar of soldiers charging.
This shocked Xie Yu and thought to himself: "No, I didn't deploy troops in the west direction. Who blew the charge horn? And judging from the sound, there are definitely a lot of people."
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly became excited. Xie Yu understood.
"This can only be the main force of the independent regiment. It protruded from the Southern Hebei Military Region. It happened to encounter the chaos of the Japanese reinforcements and took the opportunity to launch an assault."
Xie Yu was greatly refreshed, and quickly took out all the grenades and Japanese Type 91 grenades in his hand. After shooting them, he grabbed a Czech light machine gun.
Launch an assault from behind the Japanese to support the assault of the main force of the independent regiment.
And as Xie Yu expected, after hearing the charge horn of the main force of the Independent Regiment from the west.
The special commissioner led the Fourth Battalion of the Independent Regiment and sneaked up under the noses of the Japanese and knocked out the Japanese sentries.
The fourth battalion also blew the charge horn and launched an assault, joining forces with the main force of the independent regiment to form a pincer-shaped offensive from east to west.
In addition to Xie Yu's "havoc in heaven", he occasionally bombarded the Japanese with Type 91 grenades seized from the Japanese.
Within about three hours, the two armies joined forces. Except for a few Japs who were "lucky" to escape from certain trails, the Japs officers and soldiers of these Japs squadrons were all comrades of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and were killed.
Of course, because it was close combat and the combat quality of the soldiers was not as good as that of the Japanese, the Independent Regiment also suffered casualties of more than a hundred comrades.
But when Xie Yu saw the soldiers with murderous eyes, Xie Yu felt that it was worth it. The soldiers who could survive such a brutal fight at close range were psychologically stronger than other soldiers.
Soon, Xie Yu saw Captain Gu holding a half-parted Japs saber, and Political Commissar Yuan with a bandage on his left arm and hanging around his neck.
After Xie Yu saw the strong posture of these two leaders and realized that it was not easy for them, Xie Yu immediately went up to them.
Xie Yu first gave a military salute and then said: "Commander, political commissar Xie Yu is here to support me, I'm late."
Captain Gu did not speak, but Political Commissar Yuan said: "Why is it too late? The timing is just right. Although we have not discussed it, we have reached a tacit understanding to cooperate."
"If it hadn't been for your sudden attack, our soldiers might have suffered double the casualties."
Before Xie Yu could speak, Captain Gu said: "Old Yuan had his face polished, and Xie Yu is not an outsider."
Commander Gu added: "Xie Yu, if it weren't for you, our independent regiment would be in big trouble. During this period, the main force of our independent regiment will be dispatched by the headquarters."
"We fought continuously outside the Japanese's mopping up circle. Although we destroyed several Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, coal mines and other things, our military strength was greatly supplemented."
"But the main force's casualties were so great that they were so distressed that they could not speak. Many of them were my old comrades-in-arms."
Political Commissar Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't listen to Lao Gu's nonsense. There are no undead people in a war. Not only did we replenish a large number of firearms in this attack, but the number of soldiers in the independent regiment also exceeded 3,000. Lao Gu
You are going to be a brigade commander."
Captain Gu waved his hand and said: "What's the use of brigade commander, having more people? Besides, these are all temporary additions to our independent regiment. Our troops will definitely have to be reorganized when they reach the base area."
Political Commissar Yuan: "That's true. Now the base areas, military divisions, special committees, everyone and everywhere are short of troops."
