Chapter 482: Japanese Warehouse
The tanks of the First Armored Division were in the front and the armored vehicles were in the back, like a machete several hundred meters long, splitting the Japanese assault team in half.
Seeing that one of his regiments had lost almost half of its troops, Sasa Shinnosuke immediately roared and gave the artillery regiment an order to attack.
Shells from mountain artillery and infantry guns fell one after another into the high-speed armored torrent.
The Tiger tank and the Panzer V tank were not seriously damaged, at most they were just shaken.
But the half-track armored vehicles were not so lucky and several were lost in succession.
"Order the tank regiment to speed up the charge. After rushing to the south, go back to Zhoushizhuang and rest!"
In ten minutes, the tank regiment and the armored infantry regiment broke through the Japanese offensive formation and completely disrupted Sasaki Shinnosuke's attack.
However, the armored infantry regiment also paid the price of twelve armored vehicles being destroyed.
Wang Meng's heart bled as he looked at the battle losses reported by the armored divisions.
Although from the perspective of annihilating the enemy, the assault of the tank regiment and the armored infantry regiment was absolutely effective and successfully resolved the first wave of attacks by the Japanese.
However, for their isolated army, every time an armored vehicle was destroyed, it meant one less.
"The Japanese infantry guns and mountain guns are really abominable! Where is Monk Wei now!"
"Report, after they blew up the railroad tracks and buried explosives in the Mongolian steppes, they went to the war zones east and south of Datong, saying they wanted to see if they could surprise the Japanese!"
Li Yunlong took a quick look at the map and gave an order directly: Let Wei Heshang take his men to find the Japanese's front-line ammunition depot and destroy it immediately!
"Humph, don't the Japs want to bombard us with artillery shells? I don't think they can do anything without artillery shells!"
At this time, Monk Wei, who was hiding in the woods chewing compressed biscuits, was looking around boredly when he suddenly saw a figure carrying a sniper rifle.
"Wang Xikui, Wang Xikui, where have you been?"
Wang Xikui's mouth corners were stretched to the back of his head, and he stopped reluctantly.
"Hey, Captain, we found something good. Go get busy and be right back!"
When Monk Wei heard that there was something good, he swallowed hard, then took a sip of water and swallowed the compressed biscuit in his mouth.
He clapped his hands as he stuffed the tin foil packaging of the compressed biscuits into his pocket.
"Hmm? Good stuff? What good stuff? We have been hiding here for most of the day, and those who pass by are just small fry, not worth exposing our identities!
By the way, what are those guys from the 202nd Airborne Regiment doing? Are they still stuck in the airport? We are the real airborne troops! "
Wang Xikui pursed his lips. Ever since the 202nd Airborne Regiment was established, their Captain Wei had been at odds with Duan Peng, and they were determined to see who was better.
The competition is between two regimental commanders, and the ones who suffer are the officers and soldiers.
"Captain, I heard that the 202nd Airborne Regiment has also joined the battle, but is now hiding in some mountain, waiting for orders!"
Monk Wei frowned. He didn't expect that the 202nd Airborne Regiment would be able to join the battle so early. He thought they were still stuck in Pingshun Airport!
A sense of crisis surged into Monk Wei's heart. In the past, they had only played small games on the training ground, but now on the battlefield, they were competing on the same stage!
Although they destroyed the Japanese railway and blew up their tank division this time, Duan Peng from the 202nd Division is no pushover. He still has to do more and cannot rest on his laurels!
"Captain Wang Xikui, let me ask you, what good stuff did you find?"
"Hey, we found a Japanese warehouse! In just this hour, dozens of trucks were pulling things out, and they were all heading to the battlefield!"
Monk Wei touched his chin. There was actually a Japanese warehouse in this desolate mountain area?
"How many defenders?"
"No, there's probably only one squadron of Japanese soldiers. It doesn't look like an important warehouse, and those Japanese soldiers look very relaxed!"
When Monk Wei heard this, he immediately shook his head. Their unit was a surprise attack force, so how could they expose their position just because of an inconspicuous warehouse?
"No, we must not be exposed because of such a small target!"
Wang Xikui slapped his mouth and hated himself for passing by Captain Wei and hated himself for talking too much.
"Captain, it shouldn't be a problem to just run away after the fight, right? How about asking your family for instructions?"
"What instructions are you asking for? Even if the commander agrees, I won't agree! It's useless no matter what anyone says!"
Monk Wei is now trying to compete with Duan Peng! How could he give up the big fish behind him just for this small goal?
Just as Wang Xikui was sighing, the communicator ran over quickly.
"Captain, urgent message from headquarters!"
Monk Wei took the telegram and began to frown, but then his brows relaxed and he pondered for a moment.
"Well, Captain Wang, I order you to gather the troops immediately and find out what is hidden in this warehouse first!"
Wang Xikui looked at Monk Wei, whose expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book, and glanced at the telegram to see what was written on it.
Monk Wei picked up the telegram and put his hands behind his back.
"Hurry, hurry, take action!"
Wang Xikui turned his head back and immediately trotted over. He sent out three soldiers to investigate while he began to gather his troops.
Half an hour later, Wang Xikui ran to Monk Wei with a serious expression.
"Captain, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Monk Wei sighed. He didn't expect Wang Xikui to be so gossipy. He said unhappily:
"bad news!"
"The Japanese's warehouse is loose on the outside but tight on the inside. There are complete fortifications inside, and at least ten heavy machine gun positions on all four sides! And there are at least two reinforced squadrons and more than 300 Japanese inside and outside!"
Monk Wei was very nervous. Fortunately, he had just stopped Wang Xikui, otherwise, if a small force attacked, it might really be a waste of effort!
Their 201st Airborne Regiment was scattered over a large area, operating in company and platoon units. Even around him, the regiment commander, there were only three combat platoons.
No matter how important the things inside were, it was indeed a bit risky for these one hundred people to fight more than three hundred Japanese devils with complete fortifications.
Moreover, as soon as the gunshots were heard, the surrounding Japanese soldiers would definitely fight to support, after all, this was the Japanese rear.
"What's the good news?"
"It's not good news actually. This warehouse is full of shells and bullets!"
When Monk Wei heard this, the ugly expression on his face disappeared completely, leaving only excitement and determination.
"How many shells are in there?"
"All of them. I estimate that this is the front-line ammunition depot of the entire 30th Army of the Kwantung Army!"
