Chapter 277: Wind Fluttering Fight, Quiet Star Shift (1)
Longgang Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of miles, the mountain is not high, but it is like a barrier between Huinan County and Hailong County and Mengjiang County.
Kasawara Yukio was stationed less than ten kilometers away from the Longgang Mountains with four divisions, it was not that he didn't want to cross the Longgang Mountain, but he didn't want to be immediately exposed to Lin Junxiong's new army, even if he knew that Lin Junxiong was likely to control the movements of his four divisions, but he had his own plans, he was waiting, waiting for the two reinforcement divisions in Rehe Province, when the time came, the strength of the six divisions would be gathered, and the new First Army in Tonghua Province would be swept away like a storm in one fell swoop, and all the plans had been completed, just waiting for the news over there.
On the evening of October 22, Yukio Kasawara walked restlessly around the command post, according to the normal pace of movement, the two divisions led by Masashi Okada in Rehe Province should have reached the vicinity of Dongfeng County, but there was no news for a whole day, what happened?
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, two reconnaissance units have lost contact with each other when they enter the Longgang Mountains, and there must be guerrillas of the New First Army operating in the Longgang Mountains." Tateyama Harami came from Jiaohe County, and due to a lot of delay on the road, he was punished by Yukio Kasahara to open the way, but the Longgang Mountains seemed to be only calm on the surface, and they didn't know what danger existed inside, and both reconnaissance teams disappeared mysteriously, and there was not even any news before they disappeared.
Yukio Kasawara's eyes widened, his mood was terrible, Jingyuetan Airport was blown up last night, this battle of Tonghua lost air superiority, Tojo Iwa actually suppressed the news of the bombing of the airport privately, probably trying to stab himself in the back at a critical moment, fortunately he felt that the situation was serious in Suzuki Taro, and he didn't dare to hide it, Tojo Iwa's account can only wait for himself to go back and settle with him.
Even if he loses air superiority, Kasawara Yukio is still confident that he will take seven divisions and the original three divisions of Tonghua Province to eliminate Lin Junxiong's troops in Tonghua Province in one fell swoop, but Yoshioka Tatsuno has been harassed by the new First Army, and when he arrived, it would be good if the three divisions did not have any major losses, and now the two divisions in Rehe Province that were secretly transferred by themselves suddenly have no news, if there is any accident, then his plan to annihilate Lin Junxiong's new First Army will be greatly discounted.
He suddenly realized that he had made a great mistake, he originally wanted to use the Longgang Mountain Range to confuse Lin Junxiong, so that he could focus his attention here, so that Okada Masashi could appear as a surprise soldier at that time. But if he has been moving slowly with unknown intentions, it will definitely arouse Lin Junxiong's suspicions, could it be that the two divisions on the other side of Rehe have also been under Lin Junxiong's surveillance?
Thinking that everything might be in Lin Junxiong's control, Kasahara Yukio couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he immediately realized that he couldn't march slowly like this anymore, and he had to rush to the battlefield in Tonghua Province as soon as possible, otherwise, Yoshioka Tatsuno and Okada Masashi's troops were very likely to be annihilated by Lin Junxiong using superior forces.
"Tateyama-kun, your division will be divided into three teams tomorrow morning to advance from the three roads of Longgang Mountain, and the situation of the three roads must be explored before noon, so that the large army can advance."
In the Big Dipper, Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, and Tianquan are the four stars that form the "bucket" of the Big Dipper, and the three stalks are: Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shake Light. Depending on the season, the position of the Big Dipper in the night sky in the first half of the night is also different. Therefore, the ancient people of our country determined the seasons according to the change of its position. "Ganshi Star Sutra": "The Big Dipper is called the seven politics, the princes of the sky, and the emperor car." "The emperor sat on the Big Dipper to inspect the four directions, set four hours, and divided the cold and summer. The ancient book "Crane Guanzi" records: "The bucket ladle refers to the east, and the world is spring; Dipper south refers to the fact that the world is summer; Dipper refers to the west, the world is autumn; The north of the dipper refers to the winter in the world. ”
Shangguan Yingwei secretly withdrew to Longgang Mountain with the 102nd Division after the first battle of Laobald Zishan, and commanded Lin Junxiong's "Douzhuan Star Shifting Array" set up two years ago, that is, the Longgang Mountain Beidou defense system. Seven reinforced concrete fortresses in the Longgang Mountains are arranged in the Big Dipper and named after the Big Dipper, and there is a passage under the fort, and the upper part is exposed to the ground 3m, which can clearly observe the surrounding situation and give a blow to the surrounding enemies.
Shangguan Yingwei divided the 103rd and 104th regiments into six, guarding the six places of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, and Kaiyang, and he himself led the reserve regiment to guard the Shaoguang Fortress.
On October 23, after the two reconnaissance units of the Japanese army were eliminated yesterday, Shangguan Yingwei realized that there would be a big battle today, and seven fortresses were located in various dangerous positions, and if the Japanese army wanted to pass through the Longgang Mountains, it had to break through from one fortress, and the mobile troops near the fortress were named Xing by him according to the corresponding position.
Sensing that the situation in Tonghua Province could deteriorate sharply, Yukio Kasahara ordered that it was necessary to pass through the Longgang Mountains and enter Hailong County today. Early in the morning, Kasawara Yukio came to the front of the troops, while Tateyama Harami led the troops to the Longgang Mountains, and the route traveled was the location of the three fortresses of Yuheng, Tianquan, and Tianji.
A staff officer hurried over and handed a telegram to Yukio Kasahara, and he was stunned when he saw it, what he feared had finally happened, and Masashi Okada's two divisions were ambushed, and only more than 5,000 people escaped to Siping alive. Although I don't know what the situation is on Yoshioka Tatsuno in Tonghua Province, if there are any more accidents, even if these four divisions rush to Tonghua Province, they will be able to defeat the new army there?
No, you must not give up, as long as you can pass Longgang Mountain today, everything still has a chance, Kasahara Yukio calmed himself down and looked at the direction of Longgang Mountain with a telescope, Tateyama's original division should have entered Longgang Mountain.
Among the seven stars of the Big Dipper, Yuheng is the brightest, Tianquan is the darkest, and the two stars are close to each other. The first two wings of the Tateyama Origin Division Regiment arrived were the two forts of Yuheng and Tianquan, and it was only when the two wings discovered the fortress on the hill and approached the past that they discovered the terrible fortress.
The fortress is a circle with a diameter of 6 m, divided into three levels, with several snipers at the top, bazookas in the middle, and machine guns and rifles at the bottom. Upon detecting the approaching enemy, machine guns, rifles, and bazookas fire at the same time, while snipers kill enemy officers, grenadiers, and machine gunners.
Tateyama Harami, located right in front of the Yuheng Fortress, faced a surprise attack, and in just a few breaths, the soldiers suffered nearly 100 casualties, and he immediately ordered his troops to retreat to a safe distance, and then reported what had happened to Yukio Kasawara.
The casualties of the wing led by Tateyama Harami were the lightest, and the wing in front of Tianquan and Kaiyang Fortress did not retreat in time because they wanted to conquer the fortress, and the two wings each lost nearly 1,000 people.
Yukio Kasawara looked at Tateyama Harami and gritted his teeth in anger, he didn't believe that any fortress could be so impregnable, this was just Tateyama Harami making excuses for his incompetence.
"Tateyama-kun, one last chance to give you another chance, bypass the fortress that has just been attacked or organize a death squad to blow it up, no matter which way you choose, three hours later, I will see the road that has been opened, just a few fortresses, and I haven't encountered a large number of opposing troops, your troops have suffered such heavy losses, it is really a shame for the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, if you can't complete the mission, you won't have to see me!"
The cold sweat on his back had just dried, and the cold sweat on Tateyama's head couldn't help but pop up again. He and the rest of the entire division chose to attack a fortress with all their might, and this fortress was the Kaiyang Fortress. Due to the fierce fire in the fortress, the soldiers could not get closer, and the shells fired by the grenadiers had no effect on the fortress at all, and the two death squads of fifty people sent out were all annihilated, and there was a death squad covering two people to approach the fortress, and put the explosives bag at the fortress, when he happily looked forward to the fortress being blown up, but after the explosion, he was disappointed to see that the fortress was still standing there.
He decided to abandon his fearless assault on the impregnable fortress, which was far better off than wasting his time and soldiers on both sides, even though there were roadless mountains on either side. He ordered the troops to split into two and bypass from the left and right sides of the fortress
Shangguan Yingwei couldn't help but laugh when he couldn't break through the Kaiyang fortress after being attacked by the devils, and he had already marched between Kaiyang and Yuheng, Kaiyang and Shaoguang in two ways, trying to bypass the strong fortress. The fortress is a static bucket, but the stars near the fortress are moving, and the stars are moving, and this Tateyama original division is looking for death by itself.
Seven troops as a mobile seven stars, in the seven fortresses are based on the terrain to arrange three ambush areas, if a certain place is attacked by a large number of devils, the nearby troops can rush to support in time, of course, if the devils scatter to attack, it will be better, the arrangement of the three ambush areas, can completely let the devils not see the shadow of the warriors to disappear most of them, and the rest will also become frightened birds, and the soldiers will wait for work and defeat them in one fell swoop.
When Shangguan Yingwei found that the leading officer of the devils who was walking along the hillside with only a few footprints was actually a major general, he guessed that this officer was most likely Tateyama Harami, so he waved his hand to let them go through the first ambush area and block them in the second ambush area.
What is hidden under the extreme calm is likely to be extremely dangerous, Tateyama Harami walked all the way, did not encounter any resistance, but did not let his nervous heart relax, but became extremely uneasy, looking at a flat area of nearly 100 square meters in front of him, he ordered the troops to rest there, but he stood on the hillside to observe the surrounding situation.
The signal corps sent the news that the troops on the other side had been ambushed half an hour earlier, and that the troops of several thousand men had less than 1,000 men left, and had withdrawn to their positions. Tateyama looked at the steep mountains around him, and then at the strange flat land, and immediately ordered everyone to withdraw from the flat land, but before the order could be delivered, a deafening explosion and the wails of the soldiers were heard in the flat land.
Where did the attack come from? Tateyama Yuanwei didn't bother to think about this problem, the explosion on the flat ground just now, at least nearly two thousand soldiers were killed, the top priority was to leave here immediately, first exit the mountain and then make plans, thinking that in less than half a day, his 15,000-strong division had less than 5,000 people left, and he didn't even see the shadow of the opponent, the helplessness in his heart was far greater than the humiliation, and he felt like a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger, being wantonly ravaged by the other party.
