Chapter 131: The Japanese Army Defeated
Just after a round of artillery bombardment, Qiu Bingchang's entire regiment also sounded the charge horn and took the initiative to charge at the Japanese army, many soldiers pulled grenades and threw them out, and the mortars of Qiu Bingchang's regiment also concentrated their fire on the Japanese frontal defense line to cooperate with the troops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In just four or five minutes, the Japanese defense line was forcibly torn apart by the fierce offensive of the 60th Army, and the infantry rushed up and rushed violently.
The soldiers of Qiu Bingchang's regiment are more tenacious and desperate in battle, not only bloody, they are trying to prove that they are also very capable of fighting, and they are also very brave, because Qiu Bingchang's regiment stuck to Taierzhuang in the previous battle of Xuzhou, and the Japanese army took the initiative to retreat from the 60th Army before occupying Taierzhuang, strictly speaking, the 60th Army lost more than half, and many regiments of soldiers were changed one after another, but the soldiers of Qiu Bingchang's regiment were intact, in this high-morale army, not luck, but shame!
In this battle, the reason why Qiu Bingchang's regiment went all out to attack the Japanese army at any cost was nothing more than to prove that their regiment's combat effectiveness was also very strong in this battle.
After Qiu Bingchang's regiment broke through the Japanese defense line, they mixed with the Japanese army, and a melee and white-knuckle battle was being fought in various positions in the mountains.
The hillsides, fields, riverbeds, and highways had all become battlefields at this time, and most of the soldiers fought directly with the Japanese with bayonets.
The Japanese army soon found that the combat effectiveness of this regiment, which had never been fought before, was equally strong, whether it was the soldiers' ability to fight tactics and coordination, or the soldiers' bloodiness was almost the same as that of the 1085 and 1086 regiments that had fought before, or in other words, the soldiers of the 184th Division were compressed after the heavy losses of the 60th Army, although the number was not large, but the combat effectiveness was second to none at that time.
The Japanese army finally showed its cowardice under these brutal violent blows, and began to retreat, and the strength of more than 2,000 people of Qiu Bingchang's regiment pressed towards the front, especially the two battalions in front, which was almost a crazy situation directly interspersed with the depth of the Japanese army.
Similarly, the soldiers of Zeng Zesheng and Yang Hongyuan also broke through the forward defense line of the Japanese army, and the soldiers of the two regiments merged into one and fought the Japanese army from the front straight to the frontal position.
After fighting overnight, the two wings of the Japanese army have also lost about two brigades so far, and the soldiers of Zeng Zesheng's two regiments add up to more than 2,000 people, plus Qiu Bingchang's two regiments, it can be said that it is now 4,000 against 4,000, which is the so-called one-on-one fight.
This was almost unthinkable on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, because the ratio at that time was seven to one, which meant that the casualties of seven soldiers of the Chinese army could be exchanged for the casualties of one Japanese army.
Of course, on the whole, it was the development of the superior strength of the Japanese army, our army lacked heavy weapons, and the tactical concept was relatively old-fashioned, blindly defending positions and cities, and the Japanese army used aircraft, artillery, tanks and other advanced weapons to kill and injure a large number of our troops with only one rifle, which could indeed cause large casualties, especially many of the brothers in the Sichuan army rushed up barefoot with spears and short sticks, and the casualties were naturally very large.
However, the current Japanese army has lost its artillery superiority, and the two armies are fighting for blood and tactics when the difference in weapons and firepower is not large.
The Yunnan army is good at fighting mountain warfare, and the character of Yunnan people is straightforward, and advocating force, in the war is always used to fight with the Japanese army gun to gun, knife to knife in the way of fierce fighting, in order to prove their courage. However, under the absolute superiority of firepower, this style of play is indeed very backward, which is also the reason why the 60th Army suffered heavy casualties in 182 and 183 in the Battle of Xuzhou.
The current situation is basically the same firepower of the two armies, and the fierce attack of the Dian army has finally come in handy, and the bloodiness has to be fully confirmed here.
A Japanese defensive line consisting of two heavy machine guns and three light machine guns was blown up by a group of soldiers with grenades strapped to suicide, and the division of the Japanese troops was a large-scale bayonet battle.
In the bayonet battle, the Japanese army's stabbing and the Yunnan army's stabbing also did not occupy an advantage, a tactical strong blow, the Japanese army's forward defense line has collapsed, Qiu Bingchang was worried that the Japanese army would kill and wound our army again with firepower after the distance was opened, and directly ordered the whole regiment of soldiers to pursue closely and the Japanese army was entangled, forming a kind of dog-tooth situation.
Originally, Qiu Bingchang was also worried about the price of such a thing, but what he didn't know was that such an order saved his regiment and his brothers in Paoze.
Artillery positions, the war has also reached a fever pitch, at this time Lu Hai Zhao Jianying and they destroyed three more Japanese artillery positions, but they were also besieged by the Japanese squad who heard the movement and returned, plus these artillery, the Japanese army was three times as large as them.
"Change the barrel"! A machine gunner shouted as he nestled up on the dirt slope. The co-shooter hurriedly handed over the spare barrel, and the heavy twisted off the reddened barrel, then replaced the barrel and removed a magazine, and then leaned out of the slope and bombarded the Japanese troops on the opposite side.
At this moment, the four or five artillerymen who had been chased and escaped by the Japanese army actually followed on their own, and when they saw the front-line battle, they urgently opened fire on the edge of the woods to cover up.
"Boom"!
A heavy machine-gun position that had been bothering everyone for a long time was blown up in a roar, and Lu Hai shouted: "Machine gun cover, retreat"!
Zhao Jianying saw that Lu Hai's side began to cover the retreat, and immediately ordered: "Cover the retreat"!
Nearly 70 people in two platoons frantically suppressed the Japanese army with the help of the fierce fire of the machine guns, and the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who had just rushed out were blurred by the dense bullets and rain of the two machine guns, and the rest were also suppressed to the death.
Just after Lu Hai and they withdrew within a range of a few tens of meters, Lu Hai ordered: "Open fire to cover, retreat"!
Before the words fell, everyone opened fire in unison, and there was also a tacit understanding that two mortars and grenadiers were violently bombarding the Japanese pursuing troops at this time, and in the roar, three Japanese soldiers were directly blown up, and a Japanese firepower point was blown up, and the two machine gunners hurriedly retreated when they saw this.
It wasn't until everyone got into the dense forest that Lu Hai categorically ordered: "All retreat"!
Immediately, everyone rushed towards the dense forest without entanglement with the Japanese army...
On the frontal battlefield, the Japanese defense line was suppressed in all directions on two gentle slopes in a narrow and narrow way, and after a fierce battle of ten minutes, the Japanese side paid casualties that had never been seen before and other armies.
Just when the two armies were fighting on all fronts, the Japanese planes had finally arrived on the battlefield, the pilots on the fighters had even put their hands on the cannon buttons, and the bomber pilots had already opened the hatches.
The Japanese troops who were flanked from both sides also cheered, but these Japanese planes pulled up again after a dive without firing a single shot, and the bombers also circled and flew directly into the distance.
"Yaga! Why don't these damn Air Forcers open fire"? Saburo Inamino jumped like thunder.
"Brigade commander, we are entangled with the Chinese army, and the Air Force is afraid of accidental injury and has to pull up, and does not dare to fire"! A Japanese soldier said.
"Inform the division commander to order them to bombard, I need air support"!
"Brigade commander, the front is already unstoppable, Miki Shaoza asks to retreat"!
"Retreat, you tell him if there is still the honor of an imperial soldier, that is, to knock these barbaric Chinese troops back with bayonets"!
"Brigade commander, our army's heavy artillery suffered a sneak attack by the Chinese army and suffered heavy losses"!
"Yaga"!
"Brigade commander, division commander telegram"!
When Saburo Inano took the telegram and looked at it, he suddenly jumped like thunder, and his face swelled into a pig's liver and scolded: "Could it be that the division commander is also afraid of the enemy, so he ordered a retreat at this time"!
"Brigade commander, please pay attention to your words, the division commander must have their reasons for giving such an order, we are in a critical situation now, if we do not retreat, we will lose the lives of the imperial soldiers"! Na Dazuo said.
"But now retreat, the loss is the honor of the imperial soldiers, and the loss is the morale"! Saburo Inamino said-for-tat.
"Brigade commander, division commander telegram"! The Signal Soldier said again.
Saburo Inamino took the telegram and saw that it read: "Your unit will immediately break through from the southeast, and you must not fall in love with war, and engage in military law in violation of orders"!
Saburo Inano blushed with a blue face, his body shook, it seemed that some kind of power that supported him was quietly withdrawn, or that everything that supported him had collapsed, and he had been preparing for a long time to fight, and now when it came to this kind of decisive battle between the two armies, he was going to retreat, and he who had always regarded the honor of soldiers as his life suddenly had a feeling of collapse, which was a sense of shame that he had never had.
"Brigade commander, the forward position has been broken through, and the forces of the two battalions of the Chinese Army are rushing straight towards us, and the rear positions are almost unable to resist"! The communications soldier ran over and said.
Saburo Inamino smiled weakly and ordered: "Pass the order, the whole army will shrink and break through to the east!"
The Japanese officers in the field all felt a little relieved and hurriedly began to clean up, while Saburo Inamino raised his head and looked at the battlefield where fierce fighting was taking place in the distance.
After a while, he suddenly smiled bitterly, took out a Wang Ba box from his body, aimed it at his head, and was about to pull the trigger, but fortunately, an officer next to him found out in time and hurriedly lifted Saburo Inano's hand violently, and the bullet hit the tent overhead.
Several Japanese officers who reacted hurriedly went to grab Saburo Inano's pistol, but the Saburo Inano was holding it so tightly that everyone couldn't grab it at once.
snatched away the pistol, and it seemed that it also took away his soul, Saburo Inamino was unconscious, and the highest officer in the field, who was still awake, that is, this Osa, hurriedly ordered: "Take the brigade commander and retreat with the whole army"!
"Yes"!
Just when the whole Japanese army began to retreat, Zhang Chong resolutely ordered: "Do your best to pursue and strive to expand the results of the battle"! (To be continued.) )
