Chapter 61 Counting the Chain 2
Zhuo Fei's battle plan for Hiroshima Prefecture was linked one by one, whether it was the 1st Guard Division that was the first to break through Shimonoseki or the two expeditionary force troops that landed from Shimomatsu and Nagato, they were actually just a false move to divert the attention of the Japanese army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn Zhuo Fei's entire battle plan, only the main force of the Dangkou Army that landed strongly from the southern tip of Hiroshima Prefecture and the ** troops waiting for the fighters are the real killer moves, once the Japanese army in Hiroshima makes a mistake, it will give these two attacking forces an opportunity that may subvert the entire battle situation.
However, if the Japanese army in Hiroshima blocked the attack of the Dangkou Army and the ** troops, the expeditionary force that went north to attack Shimane Prefecture would turn from virtual to real and immediately turn south to attack Hiroshima Prefecture. Zhuo Fei believed that under the attack from three sides, the Japanese army in Hiroshima Prefecture would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the three-way army, not to mention that the follow-up troops of the expeditionary force on Kyushu Island were continuously increasing troops to Honshu Island through Shimonoseki.
But in fact, in addition to the Dangkou Army under the umbrella and the servant army units used as cannon fodder, whether it was the expeditionary force jointly formed by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, or the First Guard Division deliberately dispatched by Chiang Kai-shek, among all the officers who were eligible to participate in the pre-war meeting, more than ninety percent of them did not agree with Zhuo Fei's battle plan. But it turned out that Zhuo Fei's decision was correct, the Japanese army in Hiroshima Prefecture had been completely disrupted, and once the follow-up expeditionary force on Kyushu Island arrived, a major battle would begin.
In order to solve the problem of Japan as soon as possible, Zhuo Fei plans to mobilize all the troops at hand to sweep away the leaves in the autumn wind and launch a full-scale offensive on Honshu Island. "Division commander, I can't stand it, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is too strong, and the weapons we are currently equipped with are not their opponents at all." The Japanese army, which was ordered to move south to block the northward movement of the Dangkou army, tried to meet the enemy together, but was repelled from the front by the Dangkou army, which was good at fighting rushing battles and attacking fortified positions, relying on super firepower, and the Japanese 244th Division bore the brunt of the defeat of the local division of the Dangkou army.
The semi-automatic rifle currently equipped by the Dangkou Army is already the second generation of products developed by the umbrella, and the new semi-automatic rifle that uses the magazine to feed the ammunition is far superior to the American Garand rifle in terms of S range and accuracy, and the loading capacity of 12 rounds is more suitable for assault operations. The Japanese local division can only be regarded as a second-line army, and most of them are equipped with bolt-activated Type 38 rifles, and the proportion of veterans in the local division has not exceeded 30%, so the defeat of the 244th Division from the front is not a fluke for the Dangkou army.
The Japanese troops who were repulsed from the front by the Dangkou army retreated continuously, but the sound of gunfire and explosions continued to fall behind the Japanese soldiers, and on the retreat route of the Japanese army, a large number of corpses of Japanese soldiers were ignored. "Comrades, we have only one task, and that is to attack and attack. Most of the other fraternal troops have completed their tasks, and the next thing is up to us, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat r, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat, whether to eat r or eat, but it's up to you. Xu Shiyou, who served as the commander of the forward division of the ** unit of the expeditionary force, shouted loudly, and the artillery unit that had been waiting for a long time also carried out a covering artillery bombardment on time towards the Japanese defense line on the opposite side.
With the deafening artillery fire, the two forward divisions of ** immediately launched an attack, the troops commanded by Xu Shiyou took the lead in contact with the Japanese army and engaged in close combat, while the other division commanded by Chen Geng quietly bypassed to the flank of the Japanese position, and after Xu Shiyou's division was mixed with the Japanese army, it suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Japanese defense line from the flank. The ** troops who came like a tide were boundless, looking at the huge momentum, it was very terrifying, and the Japanese soldiers who were suffering from the enemy on their backs also broke out bloody, and the Japanese soldiers who were desperately shouting waved their rifles in their hands and fought with the enemy troops.
In the collision of crowds, there was constantly a blood mist rising, accompanied by terrible shouts and screams, and people kept falling to the ground on the battlefield full of blood. Taking the lead is Xu Shiyou's envoy hobby, and at this time, Xu Shiyou, who was wielding a big knife, was killing and rising, but he was forced out of the battlefield by the guards who rushed from behind. Xu Shiyou, whose eyes were red, calmed down, but suddenly found that there were more and more Japanese troops on the defensive line, and the casualties of his own troops were also increasing.
"Yongzi, you see, in the direction of my finger, it should be the weak point of the Japanese defense line. I'll give you my guard company, plus your own reserve battalion, and press me with submachine guns and machine guns to tear me a hole in the Japanese line. After carefully looking at the situation on the battlefield, Xu Shiyou transferred his guard company to Cao Dayong, the commander of the reserve battalion.
The collision of bayonets and bayonets was gradually suppressed by the sound of gunfire, and the desperate Xu Shiyou sent reserve troops early, relying on the concentrated fire output of a large number of submachine guns and light machine guns, the reserve battalion that Xu Shiyou had high hopes for took an hour, and at the cost of 200 killed, 300 seriously injured, and the rest were wounded, finally chiseled through the Japanese defense line. "Kill, rush forward." Xu Shiyou, who was slowly gathering his troops, seized the opportunity and personally led his soldiers to pour into the passage opened up by the reserve camp and expand to the two wings.
was the first to cut through the Japanese defense line and seized the opportunity to tear the Japanese defense line apart, but Xu Shiyou, who was full of joy, did not expect to receive a reprimand telegram from the headquarters. "The latest semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns with the best S speed and stability, lethal light and heavy machine light, individual rocket launchers, light mortars and fully formed artillery units, I have given them all. But after you are equipped with weapons and equipment that are superior to those of the Japanese army, you are still fighting with the Japanese army with broadswords and bayonets, why? Why can't you think about making the most of these weapons and equipment? ā
"Our purpose is to kill Japan and completely solve this cancer that has been peeking at China, and I will equip you with a large number of new weapons and equipment, so that you can reduce the casualties of the soldiers as much as possible. But what I see now is just an ordinary assault, and your two divisions have more than 2,000 killed and more than 3,000 wounded. If we continue to fight at this rate of casualties, I think I am afraid that you will not be able to wait for the settlement of Japan, and perhaps your two divisions will completely lose their unit numbers due to the appearance of a large number of combat attrition. ā
Xu Shiyou, who led his troops to kill more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers, showed no concern about the reprimand telegram sent by Zhuo Fei, but Xu Shiyou did not dare not care about the reprimand telegram sent from Chongqing immediately after. There were more than 5,000 casualties in just one battle, and when the *** in Chongqing learned about it, he was also distressed that he didn't eat or drink for a whole day. Unlike the distress of life and death without eating or drinking, Chiang Kai-shek has been in a good mood these days, especially after learning that the 1st Guard Division took Xiaguan.
The country was always paying attention to the war in Japan, and after Zhuo Fei transferred the last mobile troops on Kyushu Island to Honshu Island, Tsushima Island, which had been unable to attack for a long time, changed hands. "Immediately contact the Korean Restoration ** and ask them to increase their offensive against the Japanese-controlled areas in the south, and draw corresponding troops to form a combat unit against Japan." The fall of Tsushima was the first good news Zhuo Fei heard today, and after some contemplation, Zhuo Fei ordered to contact North Korea.
"Boss, as far as the current war is concerned, it shouldn't be difficult to take down the whole of Japan with our existing forces, why do we want North Korea to join the war against Japan?" Huffman has never been interested in the so-called Korean re-a.m., and when he heard that Zhuo Fei came down to ask North Korea to re-establish a combat force against Japan, he asked Zhuo Fei with a puzzled face.
"Of course, we need North Korea to re-establish a combat force to fight in Japan, Japan is an island country, and there are many large and small islands scattered around the Japanese mainland. As soon as we have completed the steps of throwing our existing forces into the islands of Honshu, the British will come to the idea of a temporary fleet, and at that time we will have no time to pay attention to the islands around Japan. The combat effectiveness of the Korean restoration may be unsightly, but it is most appropriate to use them to clear out the Japanese troops on those islands, at least we don't have to pay attention to these trivial matters. ā
The explanation given by Zhuo Fei made Huffman a little confused, but he believed that Zhuo Fei's decision must have been well thought out, at least it would not adversely affect the current advantageous situation of the umbrella. More than 300,000 expeditionary force troops and more than 100,000 South Asian servant troops became the main force of the attack, but the Dangkou army, which had amazing combat effectiveness, was transferred back to Shikoku Island for rest and recuperation by Zhuo Fei.
Zhuo Fei did not tell others the true intention of transferring back to the Kou Army, and in the umbrella system, only Huffman and Zhuo Fei had been with him knew the truth. "Zhuo Fei transferred the Dangkou Army back to Shikoku Island for rest?" Zhuo Fei's move not only confused the officers at all levels in the theater, but even the high-level officials in Chongqing who learned of the incident were shocked, they couldn't figure out why Zhuo Fei would transfer the super powerful Dangkou army out of the battlefield at such a moment.
One after another, officers came to the camp to inquire about the news, but no one could find out the accurate news, because even the combat staff officers around Zhuo Fei did not know the inside story. "Why tell them? The Bandit Army is one of our sharp knives, and the sharpest knives should be used at the most appropriate time. The territory of Hiroshima Prefecture has now become a mess, and most of our troops have already been mixed up with the Japanese army. ā
