Rebirth of the National Marshal

Chapter 80: Encirclement and Annihilation of the Yamazaki Battalion

The Japanese North China Garrison Army has been renamed the China Expeditionary Army. The overall strength has increased to 10 people, and another division is being transported on the way.

The Chinese government has dispatched three divisions of reinforcements to the north by train, but when Mao Yuanshan saw the numbers of these three divisions, he immediately realized that these were ragtag troops who would only be used to serve as a gun point at people.

Although there are three divisions, their total number is only about 25 people, and they are combined into the th Army.

Commander Yang Liqing was from the sixth class of the third term of the Whampoa Military Academy.

It was a historic event to let a Whampoa graduate serve as the commander of a ragtag army.

The Japanese devils had already learned about this support force, but they laughed when they saw the number of this support force. They thought that such a group of people did not require a large-scale army. An infantry regiment was enough to kill them.

But soon they could no longer laugh. According to the reconnaissance report from aircraft, the troops in the areas around the capital seemed to have changed their formation. The three divisions of the Central Army completed the encirclement, and the Security Corps actually entered the encirclement. They came in to fight a tough battle with the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments of the Japanese Army.

They were surprised by such a large-scale change in the security team.

Are all the people in the security group fools? Do they think they are so great just because they besieged our infantry battalion? Do they think they are gods of war? Then let our first and second infantry companies teach them a lesson.

"My God, this security corps has no fear at all. They even dare to take the initiative to attack. Let us teach these Chinese how to fight." Takeshita Shun was very happy after receiving the aircraft reconnaissance report. If the security corps did not come out according to the original formation and hid in defense, he really didn't know what to do. The casualties were increasing every day, and they would be exhausted to death sooner or later.

Now these stupid guys have actually given up such a good tactic and come out on their own initiative. Do you think you can be their opponent in a field battle?

"Report, the security regiment's advance company is only two kilometers away from us." The combat staff received the latest battle report.

"These bastards simply look down on our Second Infantry Company. Order the Yamazaki Battalion to attack and destroy them." Nakamura, commander of the Second Infantry Regiment, ordered.

"Hey." The combat staff also felt that these Chinese troops really didn't know how to live or die.

The Yamazaki Battalion is the most powerful among the several infantry battalions of the Second Infantry Company.

After receiving the order, Captain Yamazaki immediately ordered his troops to set off. In his opinion, no matter how powerful the Chinese army was, it was still the Chinese army, and when they encountered the soldiers of the Empire of Japan, they would only flee in panic.

"Order the artillery to suppress them with three base artillery pieces, and then send the entire army forward to kill them directly." Captain Yamazaki was too lazy to even study the strategy of advancing. In his opinion, a head-on confrontation could solve the problem of a Chinese company, in fact, a regiment would not be a problem either.

The advance company of the security regiment was on the march, and their sounding balloon also discovered that there were Japanese devils 1 km ahead.

"The entire company is on alert. The artillery platoon will cover our artillery fire. We request support from the regiment's artillery company." Company commander Zhou Huaqiang was a student of the fifth class of the Whampoa Military Academy.

Zhou Huaqiang had been to Japan and had a deep understanding of the Japanese combat effectiveness. In his opinion, although the Japanese combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the European and American armies, it was much stronger than the Chinese army.

When the higher-ups sent him to join the security team, he was still reluctant. Why were they letting him lead a security team? Even if the team leader was a relative of the principal, it would not work.

After coming here, miracles happened one after another. The first thing that attracted me was the Suomi submachine gun.

Even European armies rarely come across this kind of thing, but I didn't expect to find so much of it here.

Later, they had jeeps and large-caliber heavy machine guns. The only flaw was that the soldiers here were not well trained. If they were given a year, it would be a piece of cake for their own company to defeat a regiment of the Japanese devils.

The advance company established a defensive position based on 12 jeeps.

The advance company has a total of 11 Type 100 mortars, two Type infantry guns, and two mm mortars that have just been issued.

The first to open fire were the 100mm mortars, with two guns rapidly firing shells at the Japanese at a rate of 18 rounds per minute.

Then the infantry guns and 60mm mortars joined the bombardment.

Zhou Huaqiang dared to guarantee that the armies of European and American countries would also be dumbfounded here, because their countries' armies did not have such a high artillery density.

The Yamazaki Battalion was stunned as soon as they arrived, especially by the 100mm mortar shells.

When one shot is fired, people within a radius of 15 meters will definitely be killed, and people within a radius of 30 meters will definitely be injured.

"Get out of the way, everyone get out of the way. Where is our artillery? Fight back." Captain Yamazaki shouted loudly, but his battalion was already in hell at this time.

"Brothers, the Japs are coming, shoot them." The Japanese devils were already in disarray at this moment. They swarmed towards the positions of the Chinese army. The first to open fire was the large-caliber heavy machine gun on the jeep.

The 12.7mm bullet was fired and directly cut the man in half. The Japanese army never thought that the firepower of the Chinese army was so fierce.

About two squadrons of more than 300 people were wiped out in just five minutes.

The remaining people in the Yamazaki Battalion were really scared at this moment. There were more than a thousand soldiers in the battalion, but now less than 1/3 of them were alive, and many of them were injured.

"Bastards, you are the glorious soldiers of the Empire of Japan, you are not cowards, pick up your guns, rush up and kill them all." No matter how Captain Yamazaki shouted, these people really had lost their fighting spirit, and they would not dare to rush up even if they were beaten to death.

Just now, his comrade-in-arms died in front of him. He was hit by a machine gun and there was not even a complete body left.

Also, the Chinese artillery was so powerful that with just one artillery shell, more than a dozen people were killed.

"Captain, let's retreat. There are only more than 100 people left. If we continue to charge, our battalion will be destroyed." The person who spoke was split in half by Captain Yamazaki's sword. In Captain Yamazaki's view, such a person was simply a disgrace to the Imperial Japanese Army.

However, even if Captain Yamazaki wanted to retreat now, it would not be so easy. The support of the artillery company had arrived, and 12 -mm mortars began firing at this side at full speed.

The remaining 100-odd people were quickly killed by dozens of artillery shells, and not even a single intact body was left.

The advance company suffered only five deaths and ten injuries.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the rows of Japanese corpses in front of them. Are we really the security team? Are these people in front of us really Japanese soldiers? When did we kill them as easily as cutting melons and vegetables? Even Mao Yuanshan didn't believe it when he received the report from the advance company.

"What? The Yamazaki Battalion was wiped out in less than half an hour. Do you know what you are saying? Lying about military intelligence will result in execution." Upon hearing the report from his combat staff officer, Lieutenant Nakamura slapped him. In the Japanese army, it was very common for superiors to beat subordinates, and the beaten subordinates could not even beg for mercy.

"Your Excellency the Captain, the report sent back by our scouts is true." The operations staff said helplessly. There were no cameras at that time. If there were cameras, they would really take pictures for you. At the beginning, the operations staff couldn't believe the news. He sent out two scouts in succession, and the results were all the same. It was because of his delay that the advance company was less than 2000 meters away from them.

"Order the artillery squadron to hit them hard. Let the first and third battalions charge from the left and right wings. The fourth battalion attacks from the center. We must wipe out this advance company." This matter must not be known to Takeshita Shun. If Takeshita Shun knew, he would definitely laugh at his own Second Infantry Company being useless. So Nakamura made the decision to send in the entire army. He did not believe that an infantry regiment could not deal with a company of the Huaxia Security Corps.

Zhou Huaqiang had just won a great victory, but she was still rational. She knew that in front of her was the Japanese 3500nd Infantry Regiment, a behemoth with a total strength of more than people.

Zhou Huaqiang knew that his company now had about 900 people capable of fighting. The reason they had just won the victory was because the Japanese devils underestimated the enemy. It was obvious that the Japanese devils were not so aggressive this time, as could be seen from the fact that they had divided their troops into three groups.

"Company commander, we are running out of 100mm mortar shells. We only have 68 shells left." The artillery platoon leader came over to report.

"It's okay. I've asked someone to transport it. After you place your artillery platoon, continue to fight as you did before. Bomb them as hard as you can." Zhou Huaqiang already understood that artillery shells were the most important thing at this moment.

"But Captain, after the high-intensity combat just now, although our artillery can still hold on, the gun barrel has suffered heavy damage." The gun barrel needs a certain amount of time to cool down.

"Haven't you heard what our commander said? Don't be afraid of these things. You can buy more if you're gone, but you'll have nothing if you're gone. Listen to me, push all the artillery up and directly give the Japs a blow. If these things are gone, I will naturally explain to the commander." Zhou Huaqiang had basically figured out Mao Yuanshan's thoughts. Mao Yuanshan never cared about how much you lost. What he cared about was how many people you lost. If you won, but there was no one left in your army, then you would be dismissed soon. If you won but you had no weapons left, then you would be greatly praised.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Since the company commander has said so, let's let the Japanese have another good taste of this artillery shell.

Unexpectedly, the first to speak this time was the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun, which was also a precursor to the Japanese army's attack.
