Chapter 713 There is no door to hell, you break in
At the same time as Jinjiurō Ochiai was retreating, the defenders on the south bank could no longer withstand the pressure from the 201st Airborne Brigade and the 202nd Airborne Brigade and began to retreat towards the Yellow River Bridge.
Chu Yunfei saw through the telescope that the Japanese were beginning to rush towards this side in large numbers, so he picked up the walkie-talkie.
"There's a road to heaven but you don't take it, there's no door to hell but you break in! All battalions, pay attention, wait until the Japs get closer before you attack!"
When the Japanese approached the first machine gun position within 20 meters, they began to shout:
"Baga, move the barbed wire and the chevaux de frise away, quickly!"
Standing on the top floor of the bridgehead, Chu Yunfei sneered, leisurely picked up the rocket launcher, and gently pulled the trigger.
"boom!"
The Japanese were horrified to find that they were blown up by their own people?
"Baga! Are you blind?"
At this time, the heavy machine guns, rifles, and grenades on the front line began to attack the Japanese, and the Type 92 heavy machine guns and anti-tank guns in the bridgehead also opened fire.
When Jinjiurō Ochiai looked at the bridgehead, his heart sank. This bridgehead was most likely already occupied!
There were only two choices before him: either rush forward head-on or jump into the Yellow River.
"Kill them! Charge!"
Since he would die anyway, Ochiai Jinjiurō chose to fight to the death.
The Japanese also knew that there were blockades in front and pursuers behind, and that they could only fight to the death and perhaps have a chance to survive.
So the fearless Japanese soldiers rushed to the bridgehead in a swarm, and under the dense barrage of bullets, they kept pushing forward, gradually breaking into the front-line positions and engaging in hand-to-hand combat.
The Japanese once again mixed in with the mountain division's infantry, and the heavy machine guns and anti-tank guns became decorations.
Chu Yunfei picked up his pistol and rushed forward, shooting them one by one.
"Keep your distance and use the pistol!"
As soon as Chu Yunfei reminded them, these soldiers who were blood-thirsty immediately came to their senses, and they all distanced themselves from the Japanese soldiers, and then called out their names with the firearms in their hands.
The battle lasted until dusk, and by attacking from both sides, they finally wiped out this wave of Japanese devils.
Chu Yunfei leaned on the railing of the iron bridge and breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the corpses of the Japanese devils all over the ground, he was in a very good mood.
"Clear up the battlefield. I will lead the third battalion to reinforce the southern bridgehead of the Yellow River Iron Bridge!"
After Chu Yunfei finished speaking, he picked up an anti-tank rocket launcher, trotted over, gathered the third battalion on the bridge, and marched towards the southern bridgehead.
Listening to the continuous gunfire from the bridge, Chu Yunfei knew that the battle for the South bridgehead was much harder than that for the North bridgehead. After all, there were a large number of tanks at the South bridgehead.
The Japanese infantry followed the tanks and advanced step by step.
Chu Yunfei walked quickly into the bridgehead and saw the commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Mountain Division who was observing through a telescope.
"How about it?"
"Commander, the Japanese are relying on their tanks to charge recklessly, causing us a lot of trouble!"
"Well, it's pretty much what I imagined. The northern bridgehead is clearing obstacles. We estimate that our armored division will arrive to support us in half an hour."
The team leader put down the telescope and frowned.
"What? The Armored Division will be here in half an hour?"
"What? This is already the fastest speed. The Japs have dug anti-tank trenches beside the bridge, and there are also many anti-tank cones. It's not that easy to clear them out!"
"Oh, that's not what I meant. Our First Infantry Regiment finally got this opportunity to teach the Japs a lesson, so how can we let the Armored Division intervene?
Even if our mountain infantry division doesn't have tanks, we can still defeat the Japanese tanks!"
"Hahaha, good job! I brought you more than a hundred anti-tank rockets. I'll give you half an hour. If you can't destroy the Japanese tanks, you can only hand over the task of destroying the tanks to the armored division!"
Chu Yunfei also had his own considerations. The Japanese soldiers attacking the southern bridgehead of the Yellow River Bridge might not have realized that the north had been breached, otherwise they would probably cover the bridge with firepower and blow it up.
Therefore, be sure to eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible.
After a day of fighting, under the pincer attack from the Second Battalion and the 201st and 203rd Airborne Brigades, two-thirds of the 6000 remaining Japanese troops had been wiped out.
The remaining two thousand Japanese devils were following the remaining eighty or so tanks of the 3rd Tank Division in a final desperate charge.
Chu Yunfei distributed the anti-tank rocket launchers to the soldiers, then jumped out of the trench on his own initiative and moved to both sides along the Yellow River embankment, trying to get around the flank of the Japanese attack and attack the enemy tanks.
Although the thin-skinned tanks of my sister-in-law are just younger brothers compared to the Tiger tanks and the Panzer V tanks, they are still very lethal to infantry.
The Japanese tanks continued to fire at the bridgehead, suppressing the fire, and the anti-tank guns were unable to launch an effective attack.
Finally, the tank came within the effective range of the anti-tank rocket launcher.
Chu Yunfei picked up a rocket launcher, crouched down and ran to a small hill on the side, and pulled the trigger at the Japanese tank.
The high-speed flying rocket instantly penetrated the Japanese's thin-skinned tank, turning the tank into a burning gas tank.
The soldiers of the Mountain Division also took action. For a moment, the Japanese tank clusters were on fire everywhere, and the Japanese soldiers next to the tanks were torn to pieces by the exploding shells.
In just ten minutes, at least thirty tanks caught fire and exploded.
"Hey, Commander, I think the Japanese now know how powerful we are!"
"Don't take it lightly. See what the Japs will do next!"
Chu Yunfei lay on a small hill, holding a telescope, and through the smoke, he seemed to see the Japanese tanks turning around and retreating towards Zheng County.
"Oh no! The Japanese are trying to escape! Immediately contact the 201st Airborne Brigade and the 202nd Airborne Brigade and tell Monk Wei to join forces to annihilate the Japanese!"
At this time, Monk Wei was blocked by the Japanese in Wangpingzhuang, one kilometer away from the Yellow River Bridge.
"Brigade Commander, telegram!"
Monk Wei took the telegram and took a look at it.
"Damn it, the Japs are getting ready to run away! Brothers, follow me!"
Monk Wei picked up an anti-tank rocket launcher, rolled out of the bunker, and nimbly rushed to a distance of less than 200 meters from the Japanese tank.
Monk Wei leaned his back against a big tree, adjusted his posture, leaned out suddenly, pulled the trigger, and directly penetrated the Japanese tank that served as a fixed gun position.
With the demonstration set by Monk Wei, the morale of the soldiers of the airborne brigade was high and they attacked as if assisted by God, clearing out the Japanese devils in Wang Pingzhuang.
"The 201st Airborne Brigade will follow me to chase the retreating Japanese. The 202nd Airborne Brigade will continue to advance towards the Yellow River Bridge and clear the roadblocks!"
Wei Heshang and Chu Yunfei joined forces and chased the Japanese tanks. They destroyed more than 20 tanks of the Japanese before they gave up.
At this time, the 119th and 120th Armored Divisions of the th Army of the rd Army of the Independent Column began to cross the bridge and assembled and waited for orders east of Zheng County.
Chu Yunfei's mountain division was tasked with defending the Yellow River Bridge to prevent the Japanese from launching a sneak attack and blowing up the bridge.
When night fell, Xingyang, Xinmi and Xuedian around Zheng County had been occupied, and the remaining enemy troops retreated towards Zheng County.
