"According to the report, the drone found that the movements of the Japanese army came out of the Zhengjiatun position and moved in three directions. ”

"The body is there, and it is immediately marked on the sand table. ”

The staff officers immediately took out a model of a puppet representing the Japanese army from the table next to the sand table and put it on the sand table, and Wang Jianping immediately said: "This is the army sent to support the forward position. ”

Qiu Yahui also nodded, after the puppet model was placed on the sand table, the goal was not clear, and he pointed directly at the forward position, so he said: "It seems that our offensive is going to speed up, inform the 2nd, 8th, and 9th divisions that the enemy has sent reinforcements to the forward position, and we must occupy the forward position of the Japanese army before the enemy arrives." ”

Wang Jun said: "The Zhengjiatun position was not bombarded by our heavy artillery at the beginning, and now it is less than an hour, and we have been able to reorganize the army and send three support armies, which is really well-trained." ”

Qiu Yahui said: "So strategically, you can despise the enemy, but tactically, you must pay attention to the enemy." The drone closely followed the enemy's reinforcements, immediately passing the location of the enemy's reinforcements to armored trains and self-propelled guns, and immediately shelling the enemy's reinforcements. ”

After receiving the parameters provided by the drone, the armored train unit and self-propelled artillery unit, which had been resting for a while, immediately started again, and since the enemy troops were still on the march, all the preparations had to be completed within 3 minutes. So the rangefinder opened the map and calculated the distance, angle, wind speed and other data between his position and the enemy, and converted it into the firing angle, elevation angle, amount of ammunition and other parameters of the artillery. And the operator of the gun immediately adjusts the gun, reloading, charge, and so on according to these parameters!

After 2 minutes and 40 seconds, the two armored trains had completed all the preparations. Then the two train cannons roared furiously, spewing out scorching tongues of fire, bringing death to the world once again.

At this time, the Japanese troops on the march did not think that they would be bombarded at all, because in this era, unless it was a coincidence, it was almost impossible for artillery to hit a column of moving targets at a long distance, and in the middle of the night, even if the speed of moving targets was not fast. Because this requires not only complete intelligence support, but also good long-range communication capabilities, and these two points are almost unsolvable problems in this era. Therefore, when the shells fell, the Japanese were not prepared for this at all. Of course, even if you are mentally prepared, it is useless, after all, the lethality of 240-mm shells is not something that ordinary preparations can defend, and after the shells land and explode, the range affected is as many as hundreds of people, as few as dozens of people, and they are suddenly blown up or injured or killed, flesh and blood flying, and limbs are broken.

And the shells still fell one after another, although the Japanese army was well-trained and extremely obedient, but at this time they could not bear it, they were blown up and ran around, scattered and fled, and the whole team suddenly collapsed.

On the other hand, after receiving the order from the headquarters, the three attacking troops also immediately accelerated the speed of the march, and at this time the 2nd Division also showed the quality of the ace division, and was the first to rush to the Houzheng Tubao position, but the 2nd Division's divisional artillery had already taken the lead, first carried out a round of artillery bombardment on the Houzheng Tubao position of the Yue Army, and dumped more than 400 shells on the position.

The Japanese troops guarding the position were dazed by this round of artillery bombardment, and before they could breathe, the attacking troops of the 2nd Division had already been killed, and by this time, the Japanese troops guarding the position could still resist, and the KPA routed the Japanese troops and captured the position with only one charge.

Just when the 2nd Division attacked the Houzheng Fort position, the 9th Division had also launched an attack on the Japanese army's Majiafang Village position, and the Japanese troops supporting the Majiafang Village position were attacked by the People's Army's self-propelled artillery on the way and were also scattered, so the 9th Division also captured the Majiafang Village position very smoothly.

Only the 8th Division encountered trouble when attacking the Japanese army's Taojiacun position, because the 2nd Army of the People's Army only had one drone, and the monitoring of the ground troops could only come one by one, so although the guide artillery knocked out two Japanese reinforcements, it also delayed a lot of time, and the Japanese army supporting the Taojiacun position received the Taojiacun position on the way and was attacked by the People's Army, so it accelerated the speed of the march, and when the drone wanted to guide the artillery to attack this Japanese reinforcement, it was too late, and the reinforcements had already arrived at the Taojiacun position。 As a result, the artillery had to abandon the shelling, and the heavy task of capturing the position fell entirely on the head of the 8th Division.

The reinforcements of the Japanese army came at the right time, at this time the Japanese troops guarding the position could not resist, if the reinforcements were one step later, then the position would be lost, and the reinforcements did not choose to shoot long-range firepower, but raised the rifle with a bayonet and killed into the battle group, but this also caught the People's Army off guard, and was immediately beaten back and retreated, and it didn't take long for the Japanese army to recapture most of the position. However, at this time, the People's Army also stabilized its position, and the soldiers on both sides were intertwined, with swords and guns, and the sound of killing was shocking, and it was difficult to solve the killing for a while. It's just that it looks more like a battle in the era of cold weapons.

"The positions of Sanjiafen, Kabei Village, Houzheng Tubao, Majiafang Village, and Daju Village have all been conquered by our army, and now only the Taojiacun position remains, and we have entered the position, and Division Commander Zhou reported that the situation is favorable to us, and we are sure to take the position within 1 hour. ”

Wang Jianping shook his head and said: "This Zhou Shubin, why don't you have any brains at all, this clearly means that the Japanese have given him a set, and the melee combat makes us unable to give full play to the advantages of long-range artillery, but is more beneficial to the Japanese, because the level of the Japanese bayonets is obviously above our army, do you want to remind Zhou Shubin, first withdraw the army, use artillery for a while and then attack." ”

Liu Jun said: "I don't think so, compared to the navy, our army has a limited advantage in technology, so we can't always rely on technical superiority to fight, when it's time to fight hard, we still have to work hard, and the powerful army is fought on the battlefield, it's useless to train at home, it's better to take this opportunity to let the 8th Division and the Japanese face each other, anyway, this local battlefield will not affect the overall situation of the entire battle, to see how much gap we have with the Japanese army, and where is our limit now?" ”

Qiu Yahui listened, nodded as well, and said, "That makes sense." ”

Wang Jianping said: "Test our strength with the Taojiacun position, I have no objection, but the current Guanjian is the Zhengjiatun position of the Japanese army, which is not only the second line of defense of the Japanese army, but also the core of the Japanese army's reinforcements, so we must take the Zhengjiatun position as soon as possible, only in this way can we hold the current victory." ”

Qiu Yahui nodded, and immediately instructed the adjutant: "Immediately send a telegram to the 8th Division, at all costs, and also take the Taojiacun position, the command headquarters must see the performance of the 8th Division; the 2nd and 9th Divisions of the Power Generation, do not rest, immediately attack the Zhengjiatun position, before dawn, the Zhengjiatun position must be taken; order the armored train troops, and then artillery bombardment the Zhengjiatun position." ”

After receiving the instructions from the headquarters, Zhou Shubin, the commander of the 8th Division, also knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and if he could not capture the Taojiacun position, he would probably have no fun, so he also gave a death order to the two regiments participating in the battle, which could only advance, not retreat, and must take the Taojiacun position.

The 8th Division is just an ordinary division, and the quality of the soldiers is not as good as that of the 2nd Division, but the morale of the whole division is extremely high, and the results of the people's army's ideological education on the grassroots soldiers in peacetime are also reflected at this moment; although the soldiers' combat experience and combat effectiveness are inferior to the Japanese soldiers, their brave spirit and fighting courage are not bad at all.

The morale of the two sides was basically equal, and the Japanese army had a slight victory in terms of quality, but the KPA also had a certain advantage in tactics and weapons, and it was able to win back a lot, especially after a fierce battle, the KPA gradually became proficient in the use of tactics and weapons, so the Japanese army's superiority was not great, and after it withstood the first three axes of the Japanese army, the Japanese army's superiority was very limited; while the KPA's superiority in numbers began to be gradually manifested.

Even with the reinforcements, the Japanese army participated in the battle only more than 2,000 people, while the People's Army almost reached 5,000 troops, so after more than 30 minutes of fierce fighting, the Japanese army's degassing was frustrated, and the casualties were huge.

At the beginning, the Japanese army still retreated step by step, but after more than 10 minutes, the speed of the Japanese army's retreat also increased significantly, and it soon evolved into a complete rout, until it was completely driven out of the Taojiacun position.

Zhou Shubin looked at his watch, and there were still 10 minutes before the 1 hour he promised, so he was also relieved, and he finally had an explanation.

At the same time, the 2nd and 9th Divisions also immediately mobilized troops to attack the Zhengjiatun position, and the train artillery also bombarded the Zhengjiatun position again. As a result, the army that had just been assembled in the Zhengjiatun position was immediately dispersed, and by the time the attacking troops of the 2nd and 9th divisions arrived, the defense of the Zhengjiatun position had been greatly weakened, so the 2nd and 9th divisions did not waste much energy and successfully captured the Zhengjiatun position.
