Chapter 142: Be prepared
Chapter 142 is on guard
War has its iron laws, and Xu Guoren was caught off guard by attacking it by surprise before. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But when the sudden effect of this tactic wears off, the two sides are fighting for military strength, national strength and endurance.
Military strength includes the quality of weapons and equipment of both sides, the level of training, and so on.
Therefore, when the devil came to his senses and stabilized his position, Xu Guoren and Huang Xiansheng could only choose to retreat, which was still the case of preserving Gao Zhihang's flight team.
Otherwise, the situation will be even worse, Xu Guoren and Huang Xiansheng want to transfer so many people and materials from Shenyang, it is impossible.
In this battle, the devils came in a big way with hundreds of thousands of people, with the absolute equipment and firepower superiority of the air force and heavy artillery.
Even if Xu Guoren seized the opportunity and succeeded in attacking the Japanese sappers with artillery, the devils would not be without the power to counteract.
Even if Jiro Tamon didn't have high-level Japanese military talents like Seishiro Itagaki around him, there would be others who would come up with this countermeasure.
Because the Japanese army had too many advantages, they did not need to think hard to come up with tactical countermeasures to suppress their opponents.
Itagaki Seishiro's suggestion was adopted, and the Japanese combat staff officers showed great efficiency.
It didn't take long to speculate and judge the approximate location of the Anti-Union Artillery Regiment.
More than 20 Japanese fighters and bombers, which had already been ready to go at Changchun Airport, immediately took off one after another and flew straight to the Jiangcheng battlefield.
And in the past half hour, a battalion of the artillery regiment has been ordered to rush to Erdaogouzi and make it clear what he wants.
Yang Jingyu, who was suffering from the minefield being cleared by devils little by little, and the front-line position was precarious and helpless, couldn't help but slap his thigh: "This Comrade Xu Guoren is really resourceful!" Being good at using artillery is really a blessing for our army! ”
Immediately, he ordered this artillery battalion to immediately enter the position, cooperate with the front-line troops of the 2nd Division, and open artillery fire on the engineering units of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, which were clearing mines and clearing mines.
In less than fifteen minutes, the artillery battalion was ready.
Shelling began on the minefield in front of their positions.
Seishiro Itagaki and Jiro Tamon patronized their ideas to deal with the anti-union artillery on Xuejiayuan's side, which caused them heavy casualties, but they forgot to remind the 14th Division and the 7th Division to pay attention to protecting their engineer wings.
As the saying goes, there must be a mistake in a hundred secrets, and that's it.
Of course, maybe it's because there are prejudices among the divisions and regiments of the Japanese army, and they deliberately didn't notify them, after all, they are all division commanders, and no one is convinced by each other, it's normal,
In terms of big strategy, they can still work together, but in private, some small intrigues and rivalries are inevitable.
In particular, Jiro Tamen, who was also the commander of the division, served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, which made several division commanders of the 14th Division, the 7th Division, and even the 20th Division quite complaining.
Therefore, the sappers of the 14th Division could not be evacuated in time, and they were also killed.
Under the bombardment of the anti-coalition artillery, the minesweepers and deminers of the 14th Division were either killed or maimed, and the loss rate was as high as 90 percent.
The heavy losses of the engineer wing made the commanders of the 14th Division and the 7th Division very annoyed, and they used the artillery wings of their two divisions to bombard the positions of the 2nd Division in retaliation for the artillery fire just now.
But the minefield has not yet been completely cleared, and no one knows how deep and wide it is.
The devil had no choice but to send the demining unit of the 7th Division again to carry out mine clearance.
The artillery battalion, which had not suffered any losses at all, was left behind by Yang Jingyu, and when he saw that the devil had dispatched sappers again, he immediately ordered them to fire again.
Three rounds of rapid fire and dozens of shells hit them, and the mine-sweeping troops of the 7th Division were bombed again crying and crying for their mothers, and they were defeated and retreated.
Although they had been prepared, they were killed by the raging blast of the blast, destroying more than half of them, and almost losing and destroying the minesweepers.
Demining capacity has been largely lost.
At this time, the Japanese air attack aircraft group that took off from Changchun finally rushed to the airspace near Xuejiayuan, and under the guidance of the Japanese troops on the ground, they flew towards the target position.
Xu Guoren, as a traverser, commanded the flying brigade that had used Gao Zhihang in the Battle of Shenyang and the previous battles.
After the loss of Gao Zhihang's fighters, how could he be defenseless against the Japanese air raids.
Each infantry division had its own defensive position, the trench bunkers could be evaded, and it was impossible to move to resist the Japanese attack.
Moreover, it is unlikely that it will specifically attract the focus of the Japanese Air Force bombing.
Then for his own side, Wei Yong's artillery regiment, as the only artillery unit under his command that is formed and can pose a threat to the devils, is extremely important.
The devil is also bound to lock it down, so as to launch a devastating blow. Therefore, when Xu Guoren arranged the position of the artillery regiment, he took this factor into account.
Therefore, the artillery regiment had only carried out three rounds of artillery bombardment just now, and Xu Guoren ordered them to move to another position in case the Japanese army locked on.
Moreover, considering the fast speed of the air force and the wide range of attacks, the artillery positions that Xu Guoren had preset for the artillery regiment before were very far apart, so far away that they were not in the same place at all.
When the devil's plane attacked, Wei Yong and the main force of the artillery regiment had already left the frontal defense area of Xuejiayuan and came to the area of Mujiagou.
The two places are separated by several miles, and they are not within the scope of their air force at all, so the devil's air raid is doomed to failure.
The flexible use of artillery, although its firepower continuity is greatly reduced, is better than being left in a nest by devils, and there is no artillery from now on.
Especially at night, they are no longer afraid of the devil's air attack, and once the artillery regiment is concentrated and put into battle, it will pose a great threat to the attacking devils, thus giving great help to the defending troops.
Xu Guoren was having dinner at the headquarters of the 1st Division at that time, the devil's attack and mine clearance had been suspended, and the time had reached noon, the situation was quite stable, and of course the meal should be eaten.
The devil's bombers and fighters roared over the division headquarters one after another, and the commander of the guard battalion, Niu Dagen, was a little worried: "Chief, the devil's plane is coming, why don't you hide first!" ”
Xu Guoren put down the dishes and chopsticks and the steamed bun in his hand, grabbed a green onion on the table and took a bite, stood up, chewed in his mouth, and said: "What are you hiding, you heard that the devil's plane has already passed, and it is not coming to our division headquarters at all, our division headquarters is half embedded in the ground, unless they are accurately positioned, otherwise it is so easy to be bombed!" ”
After speaking, Xu Guoren had already come to the back of the division headquarters and held a telescope to observe.
Niu Dagen and Guo Hu followed, Guo Hu saw that the devil plane was really flying towards the rear of the division headquarters, and couldn't help asking: "Is the devil plane going to bomb Jiangcheng City?" ”
Xu Guoren looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Not necessarily, eighty percent came to our artillery regiment, the little devil just suffered the loss of the artillery regiment, and when he turned around, he dispatched the air force, and the reaction was really fast enough." ”
