Chapter 144: Raid on Supply Points
Click-
"How's it going, did you find anything?" The return of the scout made the rain spirit come to the spirit immediately.
"Found a supply point for the Japanese, a place they had temporarily carved out to park their ships." After a brief discussion, the scout squad pointed out an approximate location on the map.
Yu Ling used his bandaged right hand to assist on the map, and although it was impossible to determine the draft of that place, it was certain that the Japanese supply ships or the supply ships of the Beiyang Army could temporarily dock there.
Although the terrain of the whole place is not very typical, it is also a concave area that is conducive to defense, and the commanding heights can be easily defended.
However, this terrain will not help if it is raided by a large army.
“…… It's a pity. "The map predicts that there will be two days and eleven hours for the troops to enter the position, and it is not possible to be caught off guard now.
But Nogi Noshinori should not have put his rear in such a dangerous position, just thinking that the Seventh Division had already completed their task, and at the same time, this question had been answered.
The originally dark plot to the east of the Japanese army on the map suddenly lit up, and a dazzling yellow badge stood in that place.
"It's a big deal to have two supply lines delivered at the same time."
The cost of crossing the river to supply is quite amazing in the absence of a railway, and it is not that it can be solved by ordering a supply organization and supply transportation on the technology tree.
But it's a pity that the supply line happened to pass through the defense area of the 13th Division, and the commander of the 13th Division would not let go of this supply point as long as he was not a fool.
"Let's go see that place."
……
Although the commanding heights were in the hands of the Japanese army, they apparently neglected the fact that there was a reed swing in the west that was connected to the mountains.
More than 3,000 gray-black figures leading horses were hidden in the reeds.
"Is that what this is?" Yu Ling picked up the binoculars, just in time to see a fully loaded steamboat carrying ammunition to the temporary dock, at a glance, the beachhead was full of unloading Japanese troops, roughly estimated, there must be more than 500 people.
Looking at the commanding heights of the mountain again, Yu Ling estimated that it would be defended by four hundred people at most.
Is it less than a thousand at most? ”
Although I don't know if Japan's military system has changed in advance due to her butterfly effect, it is obvious that these people in front of them are not the establishment of the brigade - it is far more than 400 this establishment, so it can only be the establishment of the B Wing, that is, a total of more than 800 people.
Saying that, the corners of Yu Ling's mouth couldn't help but hang a sneer, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in later generations, the Eighth Route Army fighting behind enemy lines needed at least two divisions to compete with more than 800 people in the Japanese army's B Wing, and it would be even worse if it was a volunteer guerrilla force from all over the country, so General Yong Health would only rely on one division to annihilate more than 1,000 people in Pingxingguan to be called a great victory.
And now, although only more than 3,000 people were brought, it was only a tactical problem to annihilate this Type B wing before the Japanese army found out, which could be regarded as washing away the shame across time and space with blood.
Although Yu Ling knew that Meiji and Showa were not a group of people, and the two were at odds with each other, this did not prevent her from extending her anger to the people in front of her.
A considerable number of them participated in the Lushun massacre! The victors can certainly do whatever they want against the vanquished, but they should also bear the reprisals that come with it.
"Fifteen minutes later, launch a surprise attack on the docks! After capturing the docks, they immediately dismounted and switched to foot combat. ”
The more than 600 Japanese soldiers 300 meters away were unaware of the murderous motive hiding in the grass, and for them, it was only right for them to quickly load the supplies onto mules and horses, and if they were not delivered on time, the anger of the superiors would be quite unbearable.
"The artillery company under his command is ready."
Four 75-mm rapid-fire guns have been unloaded, and in order to ensure that these four masters keep up with the troops, each of them has three horses to pull, but everything is worth it.
"Five minutes before the assault, a round of shelling." She gave the order without raising her head, and the map in front of her was almost unrecognizable.
Suddenly, putting down the pencil in her hand, Yu Ling smiled self-deprecatingly, she had been laughing at the Japanese for mostly using Napoleon's tactics, but now even she had started to use them.
However, there is no such thing as a lag behind in tactics, only an inappropriate one, and it is just right to deal with this group of unwary Japanese.
"Put!" In just five minutes, more than 150 shells from four guns landed on the beach, and the barrels were so hot that they could no longer fire, and surprisingly, the enemy did not return fire on any scale.
The shelling caused a small-scale detonation of the enemy's ammunition, and for a time the smoke and dust covered the entire beachhead, and the Japanese troops on the pier seemed to have no movement, and the Japanese troops on the commanding heights were also surprisingly quiet.
"Kill!" Taking advantage of this opportunity, the commander of the first battalion rushed out first with a saber, and the soldiers of the 2,000 1st and 2nd battalions behind him also immediately began to charge.
Whatever the reason why the Japanese did not open fire, by the time they wanted to organize a counterattack, the cavalry had already rushed in front of them, and by this time the smoke and dust caused by the shelling had not yet dissipated, and in the confusion, both sides were decisively engaged in a white-knuckle battle.
Yu Ling never expected that the Japanese Army's Class B Wing, which could confront tens of thousands of Eight Routes, would fight like this.
That's right, for those Eighth Route Army, dozens of mortar shells are already a luxury, and these more than 150 shells with barreled artillery are probably the same as what the Jin Sui Army will treasure...... If you don't have these, you can only fill them with human lives.
"The third battalion, turn to foot combat, approach the camp on the mountain."
Due to the influence of smoke and dust, even if there were Japanese troops on the commanding heights, it was impossible to support the wharf below the mountain now, and Yu Ling did not expect that the shelling would actually cause the effect of smoke bombs.
Unlike in front of Yuan Mingzhang's position, the Japanese army did not have time to effectively clear the obstacles, and one result was that the third battalion jumped to less than 150 meters in just over 20 minutes at a distance of more than 500 meters.
The most intense exchange of fire between the two sides also began.
Yu Ling stared at this battle with the strongest intensity since the engagement without blinking - the current combat system, all the victories and defeats are in the last 100 meters, whether the mobile division can be here, defeat, no, contend with the Japanese army, it has become the necessary proof of the existence of the mobile division.
After more than twenty minutes of stalemate, Yu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, the third battalion did not disappoint her, although the casualties were constantly increasing, but now the distance between the two sides has been pulled into twenty meters.
Next, it's the most characteristic battle of trench warfare, white-knuckle combat!
Perhaps the mobile division chose soldiers who could not survive at home, and the men of the third battalion rushed into the Japanese positions with bayonets in their hands with a kind of madness that was not inferior to that of the Japanese army.
Yu Ling put down the binoculars, there was no need to continue looking, victory was only a matter of time.
This battle made her more determined to continue to optimize the military merit system, if there are not enough benefits, including but not limited to honor, material, dignity and other interests, how can anyone be willing to squander their youth on the battlefield.
"Huh? The 12th Division was also at war with the Japanese? ”
Suddenly, the two armies were at war on the map, and the victory rate was already at 91.
That is, the cage has been formed.
"Prepare to rely on the mountain range in the south to hold on, and telegraph the reinforcements to send a division to this side as quickly as possible, fully equipped."
