Chapter 597: The Third Army's Attack Suffers a Setback
The 108th Armored Division Infantry Regiment immediately arranged their cars into a tight fan shape, facing the direction of the enemy cavalry charge, turned off all the headlights, and mounted a general-purpose machine gun on the roof of each car.
Behind this row of cars was the division's artillery regiment, which was urgently adjusting its direction. After adjusting the firing parameters, it immediately opened fire, bombing him first.
Finally, the rest of the infantry squatted on the ground, with machine guns in front and rifles in the back, forming the other half of the fan to prevent the enemy cavalry from bypassing.
The pseudo-Mongolian cavalry, under the fire, finally rushed to a hundred meters in front of the Cainaobao position. For the cavalry, this distance could be reached in the blink of an eye.
Wu Yunlong laughed and soon he would see the heads of the independent column soldiers flying all over the sky.
A bright flare was launched into the sky, and more than a hundred cars turned on their headlights at the same time, blinding the cavalry and war horses in the first row. They slowed down, and some of the horses even raised their front hooves, causing the horses behind to rear-end them.
At this time, the general-purpose machine guns on hundreds of cars were constantly spitting out flames.
The bullet with tracer bullet was like a red whip, ruthlessly lashing the black fog.
Under the ruthless whipping, the first regiment of the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry division was forced to disperse to both wings and prepare to go around.
But they never expected that behind the "weakness" there were also a large number of machine guns and rifles.
But, these lying or crouching infantrymen are easier to deal with than the machine guns on cars, right?
Hundreds of war horses rushed towards the infantry's position, but the infantry were easy to deal with only for ordinary infantry.
Each squad has an average of one machine gun, seven or eight semi-automatic rifles, and two submachine guns. How can your cavalry defeat them?
The pseudo-Mongolian cavalry division stopped at a distance of fifty meters, and then there was the neighing of countless war horses.
"Fire another flare to clear the battlefield!"
Another flare was launched into the air, and the infantry began to search forward, only to find that there were no other survivors except the puppet soldiers lying on the ground groaning.
Therefore, the final cleanup of the battlefield became a boring activity like picking mushrooms in the mountains.
Wu Yunlong looked at the horse team that only had one or two hundred horses returning, and his face was as dark as his name.
"If I don't take revenge for this, I swear I won't be a human being!"
At this moment, Monk Wei, who was deep in Yanshan Mountain, arrived at the meeting place. After a short rest, he heard a rustling sound.
"Gada! Gada!"
Monk Wei nodded to the soldier beside him, then he took out his little Gada and hummed twice, "Gada! Gada!"
The rustling sound was getting closer and closer, and finally came to the front. It turned out to be the soldiers who had just sent the squad leader back.
"Commander, the squad leader has been sent to a fellow villager's home. He is very reliable!"
"Okay, give the location to the radio operator, report it to the chief of staff, and ask them to send someone to pick it up!"
"Yes!"
After Monk Wei finished his work, he ordered the soldiers to rest for a while and make plans at two or three o'clock in the morning!
The roosters crowed in the middle of the night and the paratroopers got up!
Monk Wei set out again with eleven soldiers, rushing towards the cave where the Japanese secret weapon was first discovered.
Wang Meng, who was far away in Hohhot, was particularly annoyed when he learned that the attack of the Second Army of the First Army Group had been blocked. He ordered Wei Heshang to first find out the distribution of the devil's caves, and then wait for the arrival of the 109th Infantry Brigade and the Second Battalion of the 201st Airborne Brigade and then destroy them directly!
"Damn it! I usually use this method to deal with the Japanese, but now they have caught me. Dream on!"
After two hours of forced march, Monk Wei successfully reached the entrance of the cave.
"Brigade Commander, why are there no Japanese sentries this time?"
"The fighting in Zhangbei is going on fast. Our planes killed a whole battalion in Heishan. I guess the Japanese don't have time to care about our small group of escaped remnants, right?"
"Hey, we are not remnants of the army. Didn't you say we are Zhang Zilong who went in and out seven times?"
"Hey, that's right, get to work!"
Monk Wei took out a map, marked the location on it, and sent the direction and coordinates to Wang Meng.
"Let's go, next!"
After saying this, Monk Wei continued searching in all directions. He found that the closer he got to Zhangbei, the denser the enemy caves were, and there were also Japanese soldiers constantly coming in and out.
Monk Wei was frightened by what he saw.
"Brigade Commander, what exactly is the Japs' secret weapon?"
Monk Wei put down the telescope, turned around and lay on the grass.
"The chief of staff said that it is a secret weapon that can destroy our tanks. It seems to be some kind of Emperor's Joy Stick. As long as we poke it into the tank, our tanks and the Japanese will go up in smoke!"
"No wonder these little devils have sanitary napkins tied on their heads, dressed like a death squad. It looks like they don't plan to come back alive?"
Monk Wei was worried. If these Japanese soldiers got angry, they would even cut their own stomachs. How could they use this stick to poke the tank?
Even if he could exchange a hundred damn Japanese devils for one Tiger tank of the independent column, he would still feel that he had lost a lot!
Therefore, the most urgent task is to blow up all the Japanese's secret weapons!
“How many caves have been marked now?”
The deputy monitor looked at the map in his hand and counted:
"Commander, including this one in front of us, there are seven in total!"
Monk Wei looked up at his watch. It was already four o'clock in the morning. The transport plane of the independent column had probably taken off, and the 201st Airborne Brigade would soon send its troops over. The 109th Infantry Brigade was also expected to gradually infiltrate into Yanshan Mountain at dawn.
But can they wait now? If they wait until dawn, the Japanese weapons will have been transported to the Zhangbei battlefield, which will be a disaster for the tanks of the independent column!
Of course, we can use the coordination between infantry and tanks to prevent most attacks, but if there is a mistake and a few Japanese soldiers rush over, it only takes one sting mine to destroy the tank.
Don't take this risk!
"Comrades, in order to relieve the pressure on the front line and prevent our tanks from being blown up by the Japanese, I suggest that we take the initiative now and blow up this cave closest to the Zhangbei battlefield!
This was an unplanned battle, so I want to hear everyone's opinions!"
"Commander, you've already said it, haven't you? We are Zhao Zilong, who has been in and out seven times. What is there to be afraid of? Damn it!"
Monk Wei nodded, looked at the other dozen or so warriors with determined expressions, and made up his mind:
"Send a message to the Chief of Staff. The 201st Airborne Brigade has decided to launch an attack on the Japanese Cave No. to relieve the pressure on the front line. Please give instructions!"
After a while, Wang Meng at the Hohhot headquarters sent back a brief telegram:
Agreed! Take care!
Monk Wei passed the telegram around:
"Comrades, action!"
