Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 382: Siege of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters 8

At this time, the regiment commander Qin Zhijin was covered in blood. When he saw hundreds of people attacking from behind, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

The firepower of the hundreds of Type 99 light rifles was too strong, and since they took advantage of the Japanese's inattention, it was inevitable that the Japanese suffered heavy casualties.

The main reason was that the Japanese didn't expect that even though they had blocked the enemy, there would be support from the Eighth Route Army in the rear.

"Bagaya Road."

Colonel Suzuki, who led the team, was so angry that his face turned pale. Not only was it because of the sneak attack, but also the violent explosion at the mountain artillery position made him feel uneasy.

"Kill!"

On both sides, the soldiers of the Third Regiment shouted and charged towards the Japanese, and for a moment the Japanese were in chaos.

There are only two battalions of Japanese soldiers here. They have already suffered heavy casualties in the battle with the special forces regiment, and now reinforcements have arrived...

Colonel Suzuki hardly dared to think further. Of course, he didn't need to think too much, because he was greeted by a group of soldiers from the Third Regiment in khaki uniforms.

Da da da!

Sun Shiqi, holding a Type 99 rifle, fired a volley of bullets at the Japanese, knocking down several of them in an instant. It was so cool to charge with a Type 99 rifle, and it was really satisfying to shoot.

Da da da!

The soldiers following Sun Shiqi were equally unwilling to be outdone and crazily harvested the lives of the Japanese devils.

Bang bang bang!

On both sides, other soldiers were also busy, firing Type 38 rifle bullets at the Japanese.

In ten minutes, the Japs collapsed.

Colonel Suzuki originally wanted to lead his team to escape, but the soldiers who surrounded him fired a bullet and sent him back to his homeland in Japan.

"Old Xu, you take one battalion and stay behind to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded. The rest of you, follow me."

On the battlefield, Sun Shiqi didn't think too much about it and directly gave orders to the battalion commander.

At this time, the battalion commander didn't care and just agreed and went.

In Zhouzhuang, the main force of the Fujii Regiment and the 129th Division had been fighting for several days, and both sides had suffered heavy casualties. Overall, the death toll of the Eighth Route Army would be much higher.

The Eighth Route Army relied on courage and a fearless spirit, while the Japanese relied on mountain artillery and weapons and equipment, which inevitably led to greater casualties in the 129th Division.

Another point is that the Japanese fortifications were very sophisticated, and the 129th Division lacked heavy weapons. If they tried to break out from the front, even with another division, they would not be able to do it.

In fact, the Japanese 106th Division still had some strength left and did not send all its troops to the battlefield.

The Japanese division commander wanted to boil the frog in warm water and did not want to suffer too many casualties, so he gave Ji Guangshun the opportunity.

At the temporary command post of the 106th Division, Junrokuro Matsuura heard movement from the direction of the artillery group. His eyes instantly widened, and he hurriedly stood up and walked out of the command post, picked up a telescope and looked in the direction of the artillery group.

After a while, Matsuura Junrokuro said with trembling lips: "Where did the Chinese get the heavy artillery?"

The artillery position in the telescope was ablaze, obviously caused by the artillery bombardment.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, have the Chinese reinforcements arrived?"

Not only was Junrokuro Matsuura shocked, but the Japanese Chief of Staff, Terauchi Saion, was also in disbelief.

It was such a surprise, there were absolutely no signs of this.

The question is why didn’t you use it before you had it?

Such a huge sacrifice is just to destroy their artillery group?

The two were full of doubts, but unfortunately Ji Guangshun would not give them an explanation.

Indeed, the boss had not originally planned to ask the 115th Division for support. It was not until Ji Guangshun was about to arrive that Division Commander Yang sent a telegram to report the matter, which ultimately played a big role.

On Ji Guangshun's side, as the Japanese artillery group was destroyed, they also moved their positions, targeting the Japanese outside Zhouzhuang.

Ji Guangshun was still very cautious, fearing that the Japanese army might have some remaining field artillery, so he changed his position immediately after firing.

He was not the one who charged, so he followed the artillery regiment. Anyway, this time, Commander Yang asked him to make the decision, so he took the responsibility.

"Commander, we got a telegram from Battalion Commander Sun. They've found the Japanese regiment headquarters and are requesting an artillery attack. Here's their exact location."

The communications soldier said this and handed the records in his hand to Ji Guangshun.

"Old Wang, your work is here, hurry up."

"Haha, it's so cool to use this heavy artillery!" Wang Yuan, who ran forward, was so happy that his face was blooming with joy. It was really exciting.

With one shell fired, the Japanese were torn into pieces like tofu dregs, which really made him feel good. Especially after he received the news about the Japanese mountain artillery group, his smile never stopped.

"Don't be so cocky. If you want to use me long-term, then fight me hard and destroy the Japanese regiment headquarters. Then I'll go to the independent regiment and ask for money."

These shells were obtained by Ji Guangshun, more than 300 in total, so he was naturally very confident when he said this.

"It's a deal!" Wang Yuan's eyes were filled with desire. As long as he had enough artillery shells, he could suppress the Japanese so that they couldn't even raise their heads.

On the right side of Zhouzhuang, the Japanese Tanaka Regiment Headquarters was being destroyed by the artillery group. The shocked Tanaka Seidō suddenly felt something was wrong.

This warning sign seemed to be innate in him and had saved him many times on the battlefield.

"Bakayaro, get out of the command center quickly!" Tanaka Seidō's face turned pale, and he ran out of the command center after yelling.

whoosh…

As soon as Tanaka Seimichi ran out of the command center, the sound of artillery shells breaking through the air reached his ears, and he was so scared that his face turned pale on the spot.

"idiot!"

Boom boom boom!

Four large-caliber grenades completely covered Tanaka's command post. The violent explosion instantly killed all the Japanese soldiers who did not have time to get out.

Da da da!

As the bombardment ended, Sun Shiqi, who was lying in ambush on the periphery, rushed out directly.

The Japanese command headquarters was destroyed, and the Japanese soldiers on guard outside were already confused. Now, before they could react, they were caught off guard by the soldiers led by Sun Shiqi.

In just four or five minutes, there was not a single living person left in the Japanese regiment headquarters. The old Japanese soldier Tanaka accepted the fate he deserved and returned to the arms of their Aunt Amaterasu.

"Telegram to the regiment commander: the Japanese regiment headquarters has been destroyed, and half of the Japanese regiment flag has been captured."

Looking at the half-burned Japanese regiment flag in front of him, Sun Shiqi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The news still needs to be spread, after all, it is not easy to capture the Japanese regiment flag.

Another point is that this thing can at least be seen as the Japanese regiment flag. If it is used for publicity later, this thing will be irrefutable evidence.

In the Zhouzhuang basement, the boss looked at the happy faces of the group and couldn't help but laugh. "They must be the 115th Division. We originally told them to guard against the Japanese 6th and 26th Divisions, but I didn't expect them to come here to deliver supplies themselves. They actually helped us out."

The destruction of the Japanese mountain and field artillery group made such a huge noise that they had no choice but to ignore it.

This result certainly made them very happy. Without the suppression of the Japanese mountain and field artillery, their successful breakout was imminent.

"Report, the commander of the 115rd Regiment of the th Division sent a telegram asking us to break out to the right flank. They have destroyed the Japanese regiment headquarters and will soon be able to open a passage."

Well, this news made everyone even more delighted.

They have been suppressed in Zhouzhuang for several days. Their own lives are not a big deal, but the problem is the future of China, which they want to support with their own hands...
