Chapter 251 Chu Yunfei directs the defensive battle of Yangcun

Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 48th Independent Brigade, personally directed the battle this time, and Fang Ligong, the chief of staff, immediately conveyed the battle order.

The Japanese aviation bombing continued, and aerial bombs fell on the ground one after another.

As the explosion sounded, it seemed as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking at this moment, and dust was flying all over the sky.

The ruthless shock wave quickly spread in all directions, and some positions were instantly blown to the ground.

The 6th Mixed Brigade of the Royal Association Army advanced rapidly under the command of Lieutenant General Huang Daofeng, the brigade commander. Its main force of more than 2,000 people went straight to the 12th Reserve Regiment.

Under the command of the Japanese adviser, six mountain guns and two field guns of the puppet artillery battalion were also constantly attacking the 12th Reserve Regiment position.

"The main force quickly broke through the Shanxi-Sui Army positions facing them, and the troops on both sides carried out diversionary attacks on the Eighth Route Army, cutting off the communication between them."

"I really didn't expect that the Jinsui Army would join forces with the Eighth Route Army for defensive operations, but they are just struggling to their death."

"Chu Yunfei's 48th Independent Brigade has been defeated one after another in Lancheng. Let them know today how powerful our Imperial Alliance Army is."

"If we can capture the position of the 48th Independent Brigade of the Shanxi-Sui Army, Taijun will definitely reward us greatly."

The light and heavy machine guns that had been set up at different locations also began to fire fierce fire.

Yanashita Shigeharu also knew that if the Japanese troops on the north side continued to stand still, Yamamoto's special agent team might be about to gain victory.

Wherever there are people, there will naturally be competition.

Bullets and artillery shells continued to fire, and the black smoke could be clearly seen from a distance.

A puppet soldier's neck was instantly cut by shrapnel, and bright red blood spurted out directly from the wound.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army coordinated the defense and showed amazing defensive capabilities."

Hundreds of light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns fired.

Groups of Imperial Army troops advanced towards the position in batches, keeping a certain distance from their front, rear, left and right.

On the contrary, the four Jin orogenic guns of the 12th Regiment were prepared to carry out shelling from time to time, directly destroying some heavy weapons of the puppet army.

In fact, Qian Bojun also knew that Chu Yunfei would never be a good man or woman.

"Back then, the Jinsui army knelt down and begged for mercy under the swords of our brothers. Today we continue to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind."

At this time, some riflemen saw the puppet soldiers lying on the ground to hide, and they immediately threw grenades.

"Hasn't the brigade headquarters already established contact with the battalions and asked them to take command? In this way, even if the battle is defeated, we will not be responsible."

The heavy machine gun shooter pulled the trigger and fired bullets one after another towards the puppet soldiers.

In a short period of time, the puppet troops suffered more than 300 casualties.

The brigade's Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff came to Yanashita Shigeharu and said softly.

At this time, there is no need to contact the brigade headquarters to contact the 12th regiment headquarters. Chu Yunfei has already learned about the situation on the front line.

"I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to let the Imperial Army troops break through their positions."

A puppet company commander at the front waved a broadsword and kept boosting morale.

"There are three regiments defending here, and they are the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army, so there must be brigade-level officers commanding them here."

For a time, dense bullets came down like raindrops from a heavy rain. There was almost no room for shelter for these hundreds of puppet soldiers.

Qian Bojun said directly with a serious expression on his face.

Yanashita Shigeharu had a serious expression on his face, and he issued the battle order without hesitation.

A large number of bullets were fired at them, and the puppet troops were suppressed and unable to carry out Huang Daofeng's orders.

The remaining seven infantry squadrons launched a flank attack under the cover of twenty heavy machine guns, four infantry cannons, four mountain cannons, and two rapid-fire cannons.

The No. 1 Squadron, which has the strongest combat effectiveness, strengthened four heavy machine guns and two rapid-fire cannons, and quickly moved toward the rear to fight in a roundabout way.

Later, the superior officer lowered their military ranks, and Chu Yunfei also put them in solitary confinement.

Before, they wanted to go to Lancheng to fight because they wanted to increase their price tag.

"The overall casualties of the Royal Association Army are already considerable. If they continue to fight, they may lose their combat effectiveness."

The Jinsui Army, the Northwest Army and other units have fought fierce battles with each other, and they are not strangers to each other.

However, these artillery pieces were concealed and fired in a straight direction. If they wanted to find their location, they would not be able to do so in a short time.

In an instant, the 12th Reserve Regiment reversed the passive combat situation.

However, before the two thousand or so puppet troops had time to carry out a pincer attack, they were attacked by the New Second Regiment, the Independent Regiment.

But a grenade was fired directly, and the grenade landed nearby.

If they are exposed, they will definitely be hit.

Because he had served in the Northwest Army, Huang Daofeng attached great importance to hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, here at the Japanese brigade headquarters, Major General Yanage Shigeharu, commander of the brigade, was always paying attention to the battlefield situation.

As the officers gave the order to fire, the soldiers who had already prepared took aim and pulled the triggers.

This time the Yangcun area was attacked, so they were temporarily released and returned to the army to command operations.

"Commander, these puppet troops are so fierce. All kinds of weapons are constantly firing, and bullets and artillery shells are coming at them in overwhelming numbers."

Zhang Fugui came to Qian Bojun and said with a frown.

"And the Yamamoto special agent team has already launched operations. If they take the opportunity..."

The six infantry guns equipped with three machine gun batteries will also launch artillery bombardments when opportunities arise to attack puppet troops.

Countless artillery shells were fired towards the reserve position of the 12th Regiment one after another, and deafening explosions occurred one after another.

"Boom boom boom!"

When they were in the highlands on the west side, these puppet troops broke through their positions and were still engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese troops attacked from the flanks.

However, Yanashita Shigeharu was not willing to give up his military exploits in the Yangcun area to Yamamoto Kazuki.

In particular, Chu Yunfei currently re-employs Chen Ziyun and actively trains a new batch of officers.

"Recently, the Travel Council has been paying close attention to us. Don't contact us from the little devils, and don't talk about these things."

At the same time, he ordered the puppet troops that were attacking on both sides to immediately carry out a pincer attack on the reserve 12th regiment position.

The communications troops here at the brigade headquarters immediately began to convey combat orders.

After all, the core officers of the 48th Independent Brigade were all Chu Yunfei's old subordinates. If Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui were killed, those people would inevitably die in grief.

The 12th Reserve Regiment is the defensive force deployed at the front of the Pinzi formation. The puppet troops attacking from both sides can naturally attack from the north and south.

The Czech light machine guns equipped by each squad and the Jin-made submachine guns of each squad leader also started shooting.

At 12:40, Huang Daofeng joined the battlefield with the light and heavy machine guns of the supervising team and dozens of security forces equipped with submachine guns.

The sky was full of grenades fired from the position of the 12th Reserve Regiment, and the puppet troops attacking the position were affected one after another.

Huang Daofeng saw that his troops had not achieved any results, but the casualties were increasing, and his face became gloomy.

But even if they were hiding, the 12th Reserve Regiment was still carrying out artillery fire.

However, after the Imperial Alliance Army fought fiercely for more than an hour without any progress, Captain Yamamoto Kazuki of the Yamamoto Special Agent Team could not sit still.

If they weren't all old brothers who had followed Chu Yunfei for many years, I'm afraid their lives would have been lost long ago.

But at this time, no one will come here to rescue them.

"The Yamamoto Special Agent Team entered the war early, and it must be aimed at their command organization. We must destroy their command organization in advance."

Yanashita Shigeharu considered that Yamamoto Kazuki was a popular figure in front of the First Army Commander Yoshio Shinozuka, so he agreed.

The lieutenant general and brigade commander of the Imperial Alliance Army personally led the charge, and the more than 4,000 puppet troops were as if they had been beaten to death.

Hundreds of puppet troops quickly advanced towards the position. They put the shell guns on their waists and drew the swords from their backs.

The ghastly bones were clearly visible from the wounds. The puppet soldier struggled repeatedly, and the expression on his face became distorted.

More than a hundred meters away from the position, three puppet soldiers were still accelerating with rifles in hand.

Zhang Fugui nodded and agreed, and the two of them immediately went to the front line.

Seeing that the Imperial Alliance Army fighting on the front line was still blocked, Yanashita Shigeharu began to issue combat orders.

At this time, the 6th Mixed Brigade of the Royal Association Army was already less than 200 meters away from the nearest unit of the Reserve I2 Regiment.

The puppet troops took control of these artillery pieces and launched a covering artillery bombardment on the reserve 12th Regiment position.

However, in Lancheng, they were attacked by Kojima Shinhsei's troops and fled back in embarrassment.

"You and I will set off to the front immediately. If the battle is defeated, we will not be responsible. If the battle is won, we will have some credit."

The two major captains discussed and they immediately mobilized troops to start the operation.

Chu Yunfei has never dealt with Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui strictly for this reason.

Three machine gun batteries, twelve Type 24 heavy machine guns deployed at different positions, started firing directly.

At 11:40, the Japanese aviation bombing ended and they left the battlefield directly.
