Chapter 210: A Lonely Bet
The most important thing is that this circular offensive is just blocked on the side of the road, which is the place where they must pass, so a real battle can no longer be avoided, although the same new 10th Division also advanced smoothly, but the Japanese army soon relied on mountain defense, and our artillery shells are limited after all, can not strike in all directions, relying on infantry charges is only in the lives of the brothers!
"The order is to go down, the new 10th Division will give up the attack, the main purpose is to contain the Japanese troops on the flank, and at the same time transfer the reserves of the three battalions of the new 10th Division to the new 11th Division to participate in the attack"!
"Yes"!
"Order, leave ten guns to form a pin down on the Japanese troops on the flank, and all the rest of the artillery concentrate their fire on the Japanese troops on the mountain bag"!
"Yes"!
Just when the reserves of the three battalions of the new 10th Division were approaching in the direction of the new 11th Division, all the artillery of our army was frantically covering and bombing the small Japanese positions!
In the same way, the soldiers of all divisions began to move closer to the Japanese position, because the offensive preparations were insufficient, and the Japanese offensive did not have such measures as anti-artillery holes, or the brigade of the 106th Division was originally only repaired here for a short time, and the two armies could be regarded as an encounter!
In the artillery fire, the casualties of the Japanese soldiers became extremely heavy, and just after the shelling lasted for ten minutes, signal flares began to be fired from the front line, and various units began to attack the Japanese troops. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
By the suppression of artillery fire, the soldiers in the front line were only a few dozen meters away from the Japanese position, and at this time, the artillery fire began to extend and shoot at the Japanese positions behind, and at this time, hundreds of grenades began to bombard the Japanese positions in a round!
At this time, the soldiers of various units began to rush into the positions of the Japanese troops, and the sound of gunfire, bayonets, and explosions rang out in a cloud.
The Japanese army did not expect to meet the Dian army here, especially the Adrian steel helmet on the heads of the soldiers of the Dian army almost became a nightmare for the Japanese army!
The Japanese army's front-line positions began to collapse before they could hold out for ten minutes, and the main defensive belt of the same Japanese army was also bombarded by our artillery fire, and the heavy machine gun positions prepared and constructed by the Japanese army were gradually blown up in the fierce artillery bombardment, and their iron barrel defense line soon collapsed, and the Japanese army, which was caught off guard, soon began to retreat!
The retreating units of the Japanese army began to launch a fierce attack, the so-called beating of the water dogs, and the Japanese army was driven out of a few kilometers before stopping, the battle only lasted two hours, and the Japanese army was declared defeated, on the one hand, the accuracy and fierceness of the artillery fire, on the other hand, it was caught off guard, the Japanese army was caught off guard, and besides, the 58th Army attacked a wing of the Japanese army with army-level artillery fire, and the Japanese army soon could not resist.
In this encounter, the 58th Army won a complete victory, and when the Japanese army was retreating frantically, they found that the Dian army, which had beaten them to the ground and bled blood, had no intention of chasing them at all, and soon disappeared into the mountains.
At this time, Lu Hai continued to act as the vanguard of the army, they were 20 kilometers away from the army, and their task was to try to find out the deployment of the Japanese army at the front, and lead the army to avoid these Japanese troops as much as possible and move closer to Changsha!
Similarly, the bitter battle in Changsha continued, the Japanese army could not overcome it for a long time, and began to use poison gas bombs, under the repeated bombardment of poison gas bombs, the position of Donggua Mountain defended by Fang Xianjue's division fell in the form of a battalion of annihilation, but just when the Japanese army just occupied Donggua Mountain, our army used reserves to launch a counterattack and quickly knocked You Chengmin's troops back!
After fighting for half a day, the troops of the two and a half divisions were stunned and did not break through the defense line of the 10th Army in the slightest, the casualties on both sides continued to expand, and the Japanese planes came again.
There are countless aerial bombs again, and there are raging fires that cannot be extinguished, the entire periphery of Changsha is exploding, and the whole Changsha is burning in flames!
This city, which has stood still after two battles, is now almost in ruins, as Long said: "Changsha City has been beaten into powder"!
When the Japanese army began to break through our positions one after another with the help of aircraft and artillery, the heavy artillery stationed on the Yuelu Mountain opened fire on all fronts to suppress it, and the Japanese attack troops had never suffered such a fierce, powerful, and large-scale artillery bombardment, and the Japanese troops with heavy casualties soon began to retreat!
After the retreat, the Japanese army repaired and continued to attack, and fought until dark, this hard battle was declared a ceasefire, the 10th Army paid more than 2,000 heavy casualties in just one day, and the casualties of the same Japanese army also reached more than 1,500 people, and most of them died under the fire of our army!
Knowing that our artillery was fierce, the Japanese army quickly thought of using the air force to try to destroy our army's heavy artillery brigade, but Yuelu Mountain had already become a fortress, and these artillery pieces had fixed anti-artillery holes, and Xue Yue had also thought of this, and that night Xue Yue ordered all the heavy artillery to be put away, and a camouflage net was pulled on the original position to build a fake artillery position!
The Japanese army also made two preparations for this, not only mobilized fighters to prepare for a surprise attack on our artillery positions at dawn, but also dispatched an elite Japanese squad to begin to search for our army's heavy artillery positions, who knew that this search also touched Xue Yue's headquarters!
Of course, this is a later story, to get back to the point, the 58th Army barely walked out of 40 kilometers after a day's forced march, and the reason for all this is that Anan only learned that the Chinese army began to move closer to Changsha, and also understood that everything before was General Xue Yue's strategy to lure the enemy, and the Japanese army attacking Changsha was already a lone army!
But who would be willing to fail? As the commander-in-chief of the Japanese lieutenant general, Anan Weiji will naturally not be willing to fail, and he can also see that if he wants to turn the tide of the war, there is only one way, that is, to capture Changsha, that is, to defeat the hearth, once the hearth is broken, Xue Yue's deployment is equivalent to being torn open from the middle, and the two wings plus the blockade will prevent the large army from approaching Changsha, and make cover for the capture of Changsha!
What made Anan Wei even more desperate was the big parade that made him have no way out, and the Chinese Air Force could not form a substantial threat to it, and the supply of the Japanese army in front could be supplied by airdrop, as long as the Tianlu tactics of capturing Changsha Xue Yue would be declared bankrupt!
So after the 58th Army marched for dozens of kilometers, it once again found the defensive line of a Japanese wing and had to stop!
At this time, Lu Hai and they had already touched the periphery of the Japanese defense line and began to search for the Japanese army's firepower and number, and after a long time, they found that the same 106th Division of this wing could be said to be a narrow road!
However, the position of this division was just on both sides of the road, and the brothers on both sides were dangerous and difficult to defend, and many places were already in the dead end of artillery fire, so in such a situation, if you want to capture this place, you will have to pay heavy casualties!
The terrain of Hunan is complex, mountains and swamps are everywhere, just as Jiang Baili said on national defense, Hunan is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also a place where the Japanese army is broken and the place where the Japanese army is entangled.
Therefore, if you go around, the terrain is complicated, and they also have heavy artillery, so if you go around and encounter Japanese troops, it is impossible to reach the attack line according to the intended target.
"This position is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not conducive to the deployment of large forces, and our troops will suffer a lot from here"!
"Can you get around"? Haijiji frowned.
"We can't get around, there is a river on the left and a heavy mountain on the right, and we still have artillery that can't get around"! Lu Hai said.
"What then? If we start fighting here, without the slightest advantage, we will command the casualties of the troops"! Haijiji frowned.
"Wait, look at the news from Jianying's side"!
"Send a telegram to the division commander to report the situation here"!
"Yes"!
"Try to mark the exposed Japanese firepower points as much as possible, and rely on these firepower points to predict the hidden firepower points of the Japanese army"!
"Yes"!
Half an hour later, Zhao Weiguo came up with a telegram and whispered: "Battalion commander, Zhao Company Commander telegram"!
Lu Hai took it and said, "Let's go!" ”
After everyone carefully withdrew from the position, they followed Lu Hai and kept touching in the mountains and forests, and after half an hour, Lu Hai took out the map and looked at it and said: "Jianying should be near here, send a code"!
Hai Zhizhi whistled a few whistles while learning from the yang sparrow, and sure enough, he heard the sound of the yang finch on the opposite hillside, and everyone hurriedly moved closer to Zhao Jianying's position!
Ten minutes later, everyone finally converged, and Zhao Jianying got straight to the point: "Look here, the defense of the Japanese army is not too tight, only about two squadrons, the most important thing is that from here, we just touched the back of the Japanese army, we suffered from the front, but it was very advantageous to fight from here"!
Lu Hai picked up the binoculars and observed for more than ten minutes, and then said: "Report the actual situation here to the division commander"!
"Good"!
"You all change into Japanese military uniforms and follow me in"! Lu Hai said.
Everyone took out some Japanese military uniforms from their backpacks and put them on, except for Lu Hai, who could barely speak a few words of Japanese, the rest of the team were all natives of Yunnan, where would they say anything about the Japanese army, but these were enough, because it was not once or twice that they used the gap in the battle line to infiltrate the Japanese defense line!
After changing clothes, Lu Hai spoke again: "Jianying, you bring a team, I will bring a team to blend in, emphasize, don't shoot until you have to, and don't talk to avoid exposure, do you understand?"
The soldiers in the field whispered: "Understood"!
Lu Hai beckoned, and everyone carefully touched the hillside...
Similarly, Lu Daoyuan and Sun Du, who received the front-line situation, met again to discuss the battle plan!
"This is the case, we can go around the rear of the Japanese army and attack, in this way, their terrain advantage will be useless, and we can catch them by surprise"! Lu Daoyuan said.
"In order to ensure the suddenness of the attack, the soldiers of the various units must remain quiet and never be exposed, and in the same way, deploy a regiment of troops to carry out a feint attack on their frontal defense, covering the movement of the large army"! Sun Du said.
"Also, Lu Hai and the others have infiltrated the interior of the Japanese army, and their mark is that they have a white towel around their necks, remember not to hurt them by mistake"!
"Yes"! (To be continued.) )
