Chapter 275: Disrupting the Japanese Army
"Army commander, there is only one regiment of troops in the Fourth Army that have not crossed the river, and it has launched an all-out offensive to storm Changde!" Xiao Benyuan said. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Their position is better than ours to attack, once they take the lead in capturing Changde, we will lose face as the main attacking force, order to go down, speed up the attack, we must take the lead in capturing Changde, and win glory for the country and the elders of Yunnan!" Lu Daoyuan said.
"Yes!"
Soon, the order had been issued, and the battle situation in the preface was still fierce, but the 58th Army concentrated most of its firepower on the head of the main attacking wing, two mountain artillery battalions, two heavy artillery battalions, and hundreds of mortars launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the position where this wing was stationed, and the 33rd Regiment was responsible for blocking the Japanese flank reinforcements.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The artillery is still bombarding round after round, whenever it encounters the Japanese position, the first thing is the bombardment of a large-caliber grenade, showing a kind of horizontal push trend, in this case, it effectively avoids the casualties caused by the soldiers' charge, in fact, the 58th Army can not afford to suffer casualties, if the casualties go down, it has to stop the offensive, how to talk about capturing Changde City?
The battle situation on the front line is smooth, and the Japanese army here in Luhai has also repelled the Japanese army again and again to form a kind of encirclement and annihilation, and the casualties of the Japanese wing on the front line have exceeded 1,000, and it is possible that this wing will be annihilated without until dawn if the battle continues like this, and in this case, the Japanese troops have begun to retreat.
The first to withdraw were the two squadrons of the Japanese army, and under the effective counterattack of Lu Hai, this wing of the Japanese army was eaten up in half, and the rest shrank again.
"Commander, the Japanese army has begun to retreat, but it is blocked by Lu Hai, and there is a high probability that a big battle will break out between the two sides!" Xiao Benyuan picked up the phone and said.
"Our goal is to capture Changde, and Lu Hai's position is surrounded by enemies on three sides, once two wings of Japanese troops rush over, they will suffer a devastating blow, you tell him, selectively let go of a group of enemies, the goal is this wing that we encircle and annihilate!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Benyuan picked up the phone again and shook his mouth and said, "I'm Xiao Benyuan, please answer the phone from your head of the regiment!" ”
"Regiment commander, division commander call!" The communications soldier ran to Lu Hai's side with a mobile radio and said.
"Division Commander, I'm Lu Hai!"
"The commander ordered, the Japanese army has adjusted its deployment and began to retreat, the division commander means that there is no need to defend to the death, selectively release most of the Japanese army, and cooperate with the 31st Regiment and the 33rd Regiment to attack this wing attacked by us!"
"Yes!" Lu Hai said.
"Order, the third battalion withdraws and holds here, let go of the Japanese army in the north, and the first battalion and the second battalion are interspersed with the front line to cooperate with the brother troops to fight an encirclement and annihilation battle!"
"Yes!"
"Commander, what about our four battalions? You can't help but be a little close, why don't we have a mission in the fourth battalion? Sun Dongjian said dissatisfied.
"Your task is even more arduous than theirs, your four battalions and I will attack in a roundabout way and go straight to Changde!"
"What? The strength of one of our battalions to attack Changde? Sun Dongjian couldn't believe his ears.
"yes, you're scared?" Lu Hai said with a smile.
"What am I afraid of, it's a big deal to die, what is there to be afraid of, I listen to what you say, you say that we will fight Changde!" Sun Dongjian said with a smile.
"Pick me up the commander, I'm going to talk to him directly!" Lu Hai said.
The communication soldier on the side hurriedly shook his mouth and said, "Regiment commander, it's okay!" ”
"Commander, I'm Lu Hai!"
"I'm Lu Daoyuan, you say!"
"At present, the trend of the Japanese army's retreat has been formed, and I want to lead a small force to feint Changde, continue to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, and create opportunities for the attack of a large army!" Lu Hai said.
"How many troops are you going to bring?" Lu Daoyuan said.
"One battalion is enough!" Lu Hai said.
"Okay, I approved it, but you have to remember, fast in and out, don't be surrounded by the Japanese army!" Lu Daoyuan said.
"Yes!"
"Jianying, after we leave, the three battalions will be under your unified command, once the forward attack mission is completed, you will lead the three battalions to quickly move closer to us, gather strength and inflict heavy damage on them!" Lu Hai said.
"Yes!"
"Bring our mountain artillery and battle defense artillery and set off!"
After the order was issued, Lu Hai once again took the four battalions to continue to intersperse the detour target and march directly towards Changde, at the same time, the strength of the two battalions suddenly began to detour from the side and directly interspersed with the Japanese troops in front, and the remaining three battalions were only the troops responsible for blocking, and the Japanese troops who retreated on the side chose to ignore and hide and let them escape, after all, if you want to annihilate, you have to look at your own strength, and it is impossible for a division to annihilate the three wings of the Japanese army, so you can only divide them and eat them little by little.
With this round of heavy shelling, the villages in front were almost in ruins, and there were raging fires everywhere, and the flames were burning the charred corpses, emitting a strong smell of gunpowder smoke and burning.
The fighting between the two sides on the front line continued, the gunfire never stopped, the Japanese defense line has obviously become a collapse, in another round of explosions, the Japanese heavy machine guns that were still resisting were blown up, at this time, the attacking troops on the front line launched a fierce charge, in the sound of gunfire explosions, some Japanese soldiers were killed one after another, and the rest were fleeing in a hurry!
At this time, their depth was also subjected to fierce shelling, and the troops behind were also chasing fiercely, and finally broke out of the hell of artillery fire, and fierce gunfire sounded on the ridges in front of them, and dense bullets whistled and flew, forming dense points of light in the night sky, and the Japanese army exposed on the great plain was regarded as wheat, and the guns of the soldiers of each department were the sickles of harvesting wheat, knocking the Japanese soldiers to the ground row by row, and the rest had to crawl to shoot to avoid being killed. However, just as these Japanese soldiers crawled down, mortars and grenades flew in densely at their location again. The explosion sounded violently, and a large number of Japanese troops were blown up.
Just when these Japanese soldiers wanted to escape from the side, the pursuing troops behind had also attacked, and finally some Japanese troops ran to the side of the road, and a battalion of ambush troops appeared again on the side hill, and the Japanese troops who fled suddenly felt that they had become prey in the hunting ground, and danger seemed to be everywhere.
In the previous few years, the attack has always been where they fought, the Chinese army was defeated and retreated, and even a small squad dared to attack the position of a company, and a brigade dared to attack a regiment or even a brigade, and even now they still have an absolute advantage over the Chinese army, although the cost is greater than before, but they can still cause powerful damage to the Chinese army, but the combat effectiveness and tactics of this unit encountered here are so powerful, In particular, these short and dark-skinned soldiers charged out as if they were not dying, once they attacked, they were attacked, either they were bombarded or charged, and all positions would be attacked by superior forces, which was a situation that many Japanese troops had not encountered, this unit was different from the previous Chinese army, not to mention others, just said that morale and bloodiness were like primitive people, such an attack could first suppress the Japanese army in morale, not to mention the advantage of excellent equipment?
It is impossible for the Japanese army to still have so many troops encircled or annihilated, but because of the desperate resistance of the 33rd Regiment and the on-call artillery support, although the Japanese army has repeatedly attacked the defense line of the 33rd Regiment, it still cannot rush out of half a step, let alone support!
"The order continues, the departments continue to speed up the offensive, and they must answer questions in two hours to complete the attack plan!" Lu Daoyuan picked up the phone and said.
In the sky, a signal flare sounded again, a shell fell to the earth like a hot meteorite falling from the sky, each shot fell into dense shrapnel, every shot fell was a terrible shock wave and the high temperature that burned everything, well, not to mention that the Japanese army did not have the slightest concealment measures here, completely exposed to artillery fire, and this round of bombardment turned the combat effectiveness of hundreds of Japanese soldiers into corpses and burdens!
"Shrink the encirclement and concentrate mortars to accurately suppress them!" Li Jian ordered.
With the order issued, the departments also moved closer to the middle to gradually shrink the Japanese position, with the narrowing of the encirclement, the artillery bombardment came more violently, even the mortars of the two regiments also fired fiercely at the Japanese troops in the field, the whole Great Plains was like a pockmarked face at this time, there were deep pits of the size of more than a zhang everywhere, the Japanese army suffered extremely heavy casualties after a round of bombing, and many soldiers were blown off their hands and feet and blood rushed on the land of our country, this is the fate that the aggressor should have, when the same shelling slowed down a little, Mortars continued to bombard these Japanese troops in corrected directions.
A round of artillery bombardment sounded again together with the previous fierce artillery bombardment of the Japanese army only left more than 600 people, and a large number of wounded, at this time, the various units launched a charge, the guns mixed with the shouting and killing roared throughout the plain, the battle unfolded violently, a large number of soldiers with guns in their hands shot, assassination, a big melee unfolded, the Japanese army was extremely crazy in the follow-up, but the hands could not withstand the siege of four hands, in the face of the superior strength of the two regiments of the encirclement, one by one the Japanese soldiers were spurted with bayonet blood.
Under the city of Changde, the city wall at this time has been tattered and mottled everywhere, and the withdrawn Japanese troops are constantly converging towards the city, putting down the binoculars, Lu Hai said: "There are a lot of Japanese troops here, and we will bring more effects as soon as we start fighting, notify the artillery to concentrate firepower to hit these retreating troops!" ”
"Yes"!
"As soon as the shelling begins, a feint attack will be launched at the city gate, and the momentum must be done to prevent them from discovering that we are under-manned!"
"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
