On the Nanbin Highway, a chase was going on, with a regiment and a brigade of Chinese army forwards at the center of the road, and the 1st Brigade of the 21st Wing of the Japanese Army, the Takeda Brigade, and the 2nd Brigade led by the 21st Wing Commander Miki Yoshinosuke.
If you look down from the sky, you can clearly see that on the road near the Kunlun Pass, the two infantry regiments of the New 22nd Division are building fortifications, defending the 64th and 66th regiments, and are building a defense line near the pass, Zhang Wei's teaching brigade and Zhou Pu's battalion, more than 1,000 people are guarding the fortifications, and Deng Jun's forest department is running wildly on the road.
This was followed by the Takeda Brigade and the Second Brigade led by Miki Yoshinosuke, each with its own plans and duties.
While Zhang Wei, Deng Junlin and others were deployed for tactical planning, the two supplementary regiments of the Fifth Army were also closely following the Japanese along the road.
In the rear of the Takeda Brigade, the 21st Wing Wing Commander Miki Yoshinosuke led the 21st Wing 2nd Brigade of carriages and horses advancing simultaneously, compared with the Takeda Fighting 1st Brigade, this unit is really strong and strong, its main backbone is the 21st Wing 2nd Brigade, on the basis of this brigade, more than a dozen automobiles, a mountain artillery squadron, a combat defense artillery squadron, vigorously behind the Takeda Brigade.
Their appearance was discovered by the troops of the Fifth Army's Supplementary Regiment and reported to the Teaching Brigade and Deng Junlin.
Zhang Wei, Deng Junlin, and Zhou Pu and others knew about the Japanese army behind the Takeda Brigade, but they only knew it, Zhang Wei's battle plan did not pay too much attention to this army, all he could do was to outflank the Takeda Brigade as much as possible.
Zhang Wei believed that with the marching speed of the Japanese army, the Japanese troops behind might not be able to arrive before the siege of the Takeda brigade.
Unfortunately, it backfired, and the commander of the 21st Wing, Miki Yoshinosuke, was eager to reinforce and gathered the only dozen or so vehicles to form a rapid mobile force, loaded infantry, broke away from the brigade, and quickly advanced along the road.
The main force attacking Kunlun Pass was the Honorary First Division composed of veterans, coupled with the almost terrifying mountain artillery fire of the Fifth Army, no matter how fierce the Japanese troops on the garrison were, they could not withstand the repeated bombardment of the 150 heavy artillery and the 75 mountain artillery.
The tightness of Kunlun Pass made the Japanese reinforcements quickly reinforced, the anxious Takeda Brigade was, and the anxious Miki Yoshinosuke Brigade was also.
And the car striker sent by Miki Yoshinosuke is now on the Nanbin Highway and is engaged with the Chinese army The object of the battle was none other than the troops of the Fifth Army, mainly the two supplementary regiments of the Fifth Army, which were the first to discover their Fifth Army Supplementary First Regiment in the direction of Nanning, and after discovering the personnel of the Second Brigade of the 21st Wing, the supplementary regiment informed the Japanese troops of the movements of the new 22nd Division, and only then did Zhang Wei and Deng Junlin learn the news.
The original plan was that the first supplementary regiment of the Japanese army was not intended to have large-scale contact with the Japanese army, after all, the equipment and quality were not as good as the main regiment of the Fifth Army, and the result of fighting with the elite of the Japanese army could be imagined.
However, the subsequent order dispelled the idea of replenishing the officers and soldiers of the regiment, and the order given to them by the commander of the Fifth Army, Commander Du, was brief and strong to block the attack, and not to retreat The meaning of these eight words of Commander Du is very simple: "It is not necessary to conduct a large-scale blocking war, but it is necessary to carry out attack and harassment operations within the scope of our capabilities." ” "Bang Bang" "Bang Bang" The officers and men of the Fifth Army's Supplementary First Regiment carried out Commander Du's order to harass the Japanese army, and the first object of the attack happened to be the Japanese car advancing to the troops, and the gun shot the first bird, and the ambush target of the supplementary regiment was also this "leading bird" who was in the forefront. ” The battlefield on both sides has expanded from the road to the field, these Japanese soldiers were originally driving fast, and when they came to this place, a dense number of bullets suddenly flew out on both wings, and the Japanese soldiers were also people, and they must have been caught off guard by a surprise attack at the beginning, and the first car in front was almost beaten into a sieve.
The Japanese infantry on the car quickly got out of the car to respond to the battle, and the ambush officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment began an offensive and defensive battle, and after the serious offensive and defensive battle began, the "first-hand" advantage of the supplementary regiment was no longer there, and the balance of the battle gradually tilted towards the Japanese army.
Ambushing the Japanese army was an infantry company that supplemented the first regiment, and with the Japanese army getting off the car to fight, they were the first to deploy ambush troops on both flanks, and now they are all concentrated on one side, resisting the Japanese army that is gradually strengthening the attack, and the combat situation has long become the Japanese army's best field offensive and defense.
After the explosion of the grenade, the three soldiers of the supplementary regiment who were hiding in the field were killed, and the tattered military uniforms and gray cloth caps were blown into the sky by the shrapnel of the grenade and the minced meat.
The supplementary regiment is different from the main regiment of the Fifth Army, the equipment is poor, and the military uniform is not as good as the main regiment, the soldiers of the main regiment all have steel helmets, the supplementary regiment only has officers and some sergeants, and the vast majority of soldiers still wear old cloth military caps.
"Resist, resist for me" A company commander, the supreme commander of the officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment here, held a shell gun, commanded, and roared to urge the soldiers to resist the attack, and at this time of the battle, the casualties under his own men were getting bigger and bigger, and the field was full of his own soldiers, to say that he was fighting to the death with these Japanese soldiers.
They really don't have anything else to do but their lives.
The supplementary regiment was poorly equipped, and most of its rifles were obsolete Hanyang-made rifles, and one company had two new Czech-style heavy machine guns, with more than 100 people in the company, and less than 30 bayonets in total The company commander raised the shell gun, breathed steadily, pulled the trigger, and with a snap, knocked down a Japanese soldier in the distance, and responded with a concentrated shot of a grenadier canister.
"Boom boom" grenades were again raging among the soldiers of the replenishment regiment, and the company commander could not see clearly at all, not knowing how many people were taken away in this round of bombardment, and two Czech heavy machine guns were also reimbursed.
The company commander wiped the cannon fodder from his face and turned around and asked.
"Damn, how long have we been here" Next to him was a second lieutenant officer with a Hanyang-made shot, and the officer glanced at his half-broken watch.
"Company commander, it's been half an hour."
The company commander looked at the tired corpses in the field, his own people accounted for more than half, and the order given to him by the top was to attack and harass and drag the devil, but the price paid for this drag was really not small.
The company commander turned his heart sideways: "Half an hour, that's enough, don't fight, all withdraw" In the confusion, the supplementary regimental company that ambushed the Japanese army, in the bullets, broke away and withdrew from the battle, reinforcing the eager Japanese army, and did not chase after it :。
