Chapter 421: 2nd Regiment Attacking the Reinforcements
Next, Yan Jing selected five college students from his college classmates who had joined the army to assist him. He also selected five more from the thirty soldiers and officers who had smelting experience to form a smelting plant preparation team with Wen Lang. Wen Lang was the team leader and Yan Jing was the deputy team leader.
Since the smelter was located within the jurisdiction of Wulang’s Second Brigade, the Second Brigade sent troops to assist in the construction of the smelter.
The construction of the smelter was officially put on the agenda. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. However, Leng Feng was still worried about the Wangjia Dagou Gold Mine.
Leng Feng ordered two companies of the mobile force and the artillery unit withdrawn from the Chaoyang battlefield to take five 150mm howitzers to go to Wangjiadagou Gold Mine to reinforce the Third Brigade.
Liu Yaohua was of course very happy about the arrival of the mobile force and artillery unit. This gave him more confidence to stop the Fengtian devils.
But Liu Yaohua did not relax and continued to dig and consolidate the fortifications.
Not long after the major was defeated and retreated, the Japanese squadron in Paolou Village also retreated to Fengtian with their remaining troops.
The Second Regiment of the Eighth Brigade also took over the defense of the last section of the road from Fengtian to Wangjiadagou Gold Mine.
After Commander Ling Qilong's troops were ready, he ordered them to go to Wangjiadagou Gold Mine.
In order to recapture this important mine, Commander Ling Qilong also sent a special force that had just arrived and had been stationed outside Fengtian City to join the battle.
Liu Yaohua transferred the Third Regiment that was fighting against the Japanese brigade, and sent the Second Regiment to the front line to take over the defense of the Third Regiment.
So this time it was the Second Regiment's turn to fight against the Fengtian devils.
When the Japanese arrived near the Second Regiment's fortifications, they immediately began shelling.
The fortifications of the Second Regiment were suddenly filled with smoke and flying dirt.
The second regiment commander stared at the fortifications and cursed angrily, "Damn it, you're the only one who has it? Order the artillery to prepare, and bomb the devils as soon as the Japanese infantry charges."
The messenger received the order and left the command center.
After the Japanese bombarded for a while, the infantry began to charge. What surprised the second regiment commander was that the Japanese charge was assisted by two tanks.
"It seems that the Japanese tanks have not been scared by the 40 rockets." Thinking of this, the second regiment commander immediately ordered the rocket soldiers to prepare.
But the two Japanese tanks were hiding behind the infantry, and the 40 rocket soldiers in front of them could do nothing about it.
The Japanese infantry was still advancing cautiously. Suddenly, the whistling sound of mortar shells came over.
"Scatter and hide from the artillery." The Japanese commander shouted loudly.
The shells landed among the charging Japanese soldiers and explosions rang out one after another.
When the Japanese fired artillery, the soldiers of the Second Regiment hid in the anti-artillery trenches. When the Second Regiment fired artillery, the Japanese were exposed on the open road, and their casualties must have been much greater than those of the Second Regiment.
The infantry in front of the Japanese tanks were blown away, and the two Japanese tanks ran at full speed towards the position of the Second Regiment, firing as they rushed.
But before the two Japanese tanks could fire a few shots, two 40mm rockets flew directly towards the two Japanese tanks with flames.
"Boom, boom," two explosions sounded one after another, and the roar of the engines of the two Japanese tanks stopped abruptly.
The Second Regiment continued to bombard the charging Japanese. The Japanese were exhausted and finally left a field of corpses and retreated while supporting the wounded.
The leader of the two regiments was Colonel Yamashima, who learned from intelligence that the Devil's Army had a small flying machine that was a powerful weapon for attacking their planes and tanks. So as soon as his two tanks went into battle, he sent scouts to keep an eye on the sky above the battlefield.
But there was nothing unusual in the sky above the battlefield, and his tank was still inexplicably destroyed.
They must find out the mysterious weapon that the Devil Forces used to destroy their tanks, otherwise they will not be able to break through the Devil Forces' defense line so quickly.
Commander Ling Kulong was also extremely short of intelligence on the Devil's Army. All the intelligence officers sent there to gather intelligence were arrested except for Sister Juan.
Commander Ling Qilong had no choice but to instruct Sister Juan again: quickly find out the mysterious weapon that the devil troops used to destroy their tanks.
The information was quickly transferred to Leng Feng's operations room, and Leng Feng instructed Juan to reply to Commander Ling Kulong that she had only detected the Devil's troops' small aerial vehicles that destroyed tanks. She also saw with her own eyes the drill of such small aerial vehicles destroying tanks.
Soon, the colonel received a reply from Commander Ling Qilong: The small aircraft is the mysterious weapon used by the Devil's Army to destroy tanks. But the Devil's Army should have other weapons to destroy their tanks. There is no information about this at present.
The colonel was speechless. Saying this doesn't mean not saying it.
There was no other way, he could only rely on himself to obtain intelligence. He now had three tanks left, and he ordered the reconnaissance unit to wait next to the tanks. When the tanks attacked, they followed around the tanks and watched for weapons that could attack their tanks.
The subordinates suggested to the colonel that special forces should be used to quickly break through the front line of the Devil Forces.
The colonel thought about it and refused. Because he knew that the Devil's Army had a strong counterattack capability. Once their special forces appeared, the Devil's Army would quickly find a counterattack method. This special force should not be used unless it was absolutely necessary.
