Chapter 204: Bloody Battle in Taierzhuang
Saying.
After Ryosuke Tsuya led his troops to Taierzhuang in the morning, he received a telegram from Beiping from Toshiichi Terauchi, commander of the front army, and Naosaburo Okabe, chief of staff.
I learned that the 114th Division would attack Lianyungang by sea and copy the rear route of the Chinese defenders in the Xuzhou area.
At the same time, Terauchi also ordered his 10th Division, Kenji Dohihara's 14th Division, and Itagaki Seishiro's 5th Division to immediately launch the most fierce attack.
to attract more China. Army, reinforcing Taierzhuang and Linyi.
In this way, the 114th Division attacked Lianyungang.
Therefore, after a simple deployment, Ryosuke Isoya gave the order to attack with all his might.
Not only did they use dozens of field guns from two field artillery wings, but they also threw in thousands of elite infantry to form a powerful attack group.
Rounds of onslaught were launched on the field defensive positions of the 31st Division.
In addition, before the attack, this old devil once again called for fire support from the aviation unit.
At this time, the onslaught had already begun, and the entire northern area of Taierzhuang City was suddenly filled with earth-shattering dense gunfire and explosions.
Yang Jing had just arrived at the regiment headquarters, and he hadn't had time to talk to Ma Haifeng and Wang Dali.
Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou, Rake Ear and others also rushed to the regiment headquarters.
Like Yang Jing, they were all awakened by the sudden sound of gunfire.
In addition to them, some of the officers and men of the battalions and companies who were still taking turns to rest also woke up from their sleep.
Although they have not received orders for the time being, these soldiers have been fully armed and ready to go to the front line at any time.
I have to say that after the First Battle of Tengxian County, most of the recruits of the Tiger Ben Regiment basically overcame the battlefield syndrome.
Transformed into a qualified battlefield veteran, he also has a deeper understanding of war.
After Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou, and Rake Ear and others entered the regiment headquarters, they all stood up and saluted: "Tuanzuo, Tuanzuo!" ”
Yang Jing waved his hand and signaled: "You don't have to be polite, judging from the intensity of the gunfire, the little devil launched a large-scale cluster attack as soon as he came up."
I estimate that with the combat effectiveness of the 31st Division, it may not be able to withstand it.
Rake the ears! ”
"Yes!" Rake Ears immediately stepped forward and responded with a bang.
"You take the artillery battalion and immediately go to the defense area of the 31st Division to provide them with artillery support!" Yang Jing instructed: "However, we must pay attention to air raids, the devil's attack method is the same three-plate axe.
Ryosuke Isoya, the old devil, will definitely call for the Air Force to cooperate in the operation, so the little devil's plane may appear at any time!
Set up anti-aircraft machine guns for Lao Tzu! ”
"Yes! Tuanza! The rake ear replied with a bang, and after another salute, he turned and took the order.
After seeing the rake ears leave, Yang Jing said to Ma Haifeng and Wang Dali again: "Chief of staff, deputy regiment commander, you two have also stayed up for a day and a night, hurry up and rest for a while."
The troops are under my command, so don't worry! ”
"Yes!"
Although Ma Haifeng and Wang Dali didn't want to leave at this time, they were indeed very tired.
Moreover, with Yang Jing personally in command, they will not have the slightest worry at all.
In addition, considering that the devil has not yet launched an attack on the Tiger Ben Group, and there must be a tough battle to fight next, the two of them also need to rest and recover their strength as soon as possible, so they didn't insist anymore.
After saluting Yang Jing and saying goodbye, he turned around and left the headquarters.
Sure enough, Yang Jing's worries were not unreasonable at all.
As soon as Ma Haifeng and Wang Dali walked on their front feet, the devil's plane appeared in the sky above Taierzhuang.
About 10 bombers, at an altitude of thousands of meters, began to drop bombs.
Heavy aerial bombs were dropped on the Taierzhuang urban area and the field defense positions of the defenders outside.
"Hurricane!"
"Hurricane, hurricane, hurricane! ——”
Aerial bombs fell from the sky with a sharp and piercing sound of breaking wind, and smashed down like meteors falling to the ground.
The next moment, clouds of smoke and dust and sky-high flames were suddenly set off on the ground.
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom, boom! ——”
The incessant sound of explosions almost deafened people's ears.
More than a kilometer, this altitude, not to mention anti-aircraft machine guns, even ordinary anti-aircraft guns cannot pose a threat to the devil's bombers.
Therefore, the devil air force appeared infinitely arrogant, constantly hovering and dropping bombs over Taierzhuang.
Yang Jing and the others stood in the command headquarters, and dust kept falling down from their heads.
I could clearly feel that the ground under my feet was shaking with the bombing of the Japanese army.
There were also a few electric lights overhead, which were also swaying back and forth with the bombardment.
It's like an earthquake.
The artillery battalion with rake ears had not yet had time to deploy at this time, and the devil's aerial bombs had already turned the urban area of Taierzhuang and the field positions outside the city into a sea of fire one after another.
"Brothers, don't panic, the bombardment of the little devils, looking at the big movement, is not dense. The distance between the landing points of the aerial bombs is hundreds of meters, or even hundreds of meters!
As long as everyone doesn't run around and hides honestly, they won't die! "Rake Ears saw that there were some recruits in the artillery battalion, and they were frightened by the big bombardment of the devils.
Someone was in a panic, running around, trying to find a suitable cover to hide, and hurriedly pulled his neck to make a reminder.
What the rake ear said is not right, running around is indeed more dangerous, increasing the probability of being killed by the shock wave of the aerial bomb and fragments.
Moreover, the Japanese army could not compare with the US army, nor could it compare with the German army, and its air power bullied and bullied China and other Asian countries that had not completed the modernization process of the industrial revolution at that time.
In addition, its domestic materials are extremely scarce, and all strategic materials such as oil, rubber, and minerals rely on imports.
The vast majority of resources are invested in the Navy.
So that his air force, and even the supply resources of weapons and ammunition for the army, etc., are not worth mentioning at all compared with the United States, Germany, Britain and other Western powers.
This is the real reason why the little devils revere the spirit of bushido and encourage their soldiers to fight against enemy soldiers.
Guts?
It is undeniable that the fighting will shown by the Japanese army during World War II really made Britain and even the United States feel terrified.
But the reason why its soldiers are really encouraged to fight with each other is because of the lack of domestic materials and the inability to keep up with productivity.
Compared to the United States, Germany, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union, it is not worth mentioning at all.
Like the American calves and Germans, hundreds or even thousands of fighters and bombers are often dispatched to carry out the same combat mission at the same time.
For the Japanese army, it was almost nonexistent.
Of course, when the Japanese army dealt with the Tiger Regiment, it was one of the few exceptions.
Under normal circumstances, in a battle, the Japanese army dispatched twenty or thirty fighters and bombers, which is actually too much.
It is very rare for dozens, or even nearly 100 fighters, to carry out a bombing mission at the same time.
The reason for this is that Yang Jing and his Tiger Ben Regiment have made the invading Japanese army, and even the entire Japanese army base camp, feel panic and uneasy.
That's why it will be annihilated at all costs!
There are only about 10 bombers, and each bomber carries about 5 aerial bombs on average, dropping bombs in flight at an altitude of 1,000 meters.
The intensity and precision are predictable.
The number of aerial bombs is only about 50, plus the entire Taierzhuang and its surrounding areas.
On average, the density is almost negligible.
So, the rake ears are right, as long as they don't run around.
It's not that it's unlucky to the extreme, it's just near the landing point of the bomb, and generally speaking, it will basically not be killed or injured by the bombing of the devil's air force.
On the side of the Tiger Bun Regiment, the soldiers are well hidden, and the battle area is in Beicheng.
Therefore, the bombing of the Japanese air force was basically concentrated in the field positions outside the northern city and in the northern urban area of Taierzhuang City.
Therefore, the bombardment of the devils seems to be fierce, but in fact, the casualties caused to the Tiger Ben Regiment are not large.
The ones that really need to be vigilant and on guard are those devil fighters that fly extremely fast and dive and strafe at ultra-low altitudes.
They are slightly more numerous than bombers, and they can fly at ultra-low altitudes, and once they are spotted by ground forces, they will inevitably attract dense aerial fire.
At this time, there was no time to build an anti-aircraft fire point near the artillery barracks. Therefore, while reminding his subordinates, the rake ear commanded the veterans to hide dozens of field guns in the artillery battalion in the vacant houses around them.
Then, the entire artillery battalion began to disperse and hide from the Japanese air raids and strafing fire.
The devil's air raid this time did not last long.
When the 10 bombers dumped all the bombs they carried, the devil pilots drove the fighters to cover the bombers and began to return home.
…………
At that time, the 31st Division of Chifeng Castle was engaged in a fierce confrontation with the Japanese attacking force, and the Devil Aviation Unit tacitly recognized it as the Tiger Regiment.
Therefore, the defensive positions of the 31st Division became the focus of Japanese bombardment.
I have to say that this time, his 31st Division gave Yang Jing's Tiger Ben Regiment a backdrop.
At this time, the vanguard of Kenji Dohihara's 14th Division also rushed to Taierzhuang and joined the battle.
And the 14th Division, as 17 standing divisions, is also equipped with a tank and combat vehicle brigade under its command.
Therefore, the Japanese army not only bombarded the 31st Division from the air, but the tanks and field artillery of the devils also continued to pour shells one after another.
The defending units of the 31st Division suffered extremely heavy casualties.
Under the cover of tank fighting vehicle units, the infantry of the 10th and 14th divisions of the Japanese army were also constantly attacking in turn.
By the time the air raid was over, the field defensive positions of the 31st Division were already in jeopardy.
When the rake heard the news, he immediately ordered: "The artillery battalion immediately assembles, builds an artillery position, and prepares artillery support!" ”
At this time, Yang Jing also received a call for help from General Chi Fengcheng: "Commander Yang, the devils have used all their firepower and troops on the head of our 31st Division, and the casualties of our department are too great to resist."
Please send troops to help! ”
Yang Jing said awe-inspiring on the other end of the phone: "Chief Chi, please rest assured, I have already sent an artillery battalion to support you, this meeting should have arrived!"
I'll send two more main battalions over to help you resist the Japanese attack!" ”
The scale of each main infantry battalion of the Tiger Regiment exceeds 1,000 people, coupled with sophisticated and advanced weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness of a battalion can be completely comparable to that of a country. Infantry brigade of the Central Army of the Army.
The combat effectiveness of the two main infantry battalions has already exceeded that of one division.
General Chi Fengcheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with great emotion: "It's really good, Commander Yang, thank you for your kindness, when this battle is over, if Chi is still alive, I will definitely repay you!" ”
"It's all about fighting devils and defending the country, why thank you?" After Yang Jing hung up the phone, he immediately turned his head and said, "Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou, you two will immediately take the first and second battalions to the north of the city to support the 31st Division!" ”
"Yes!"
Bi Yuntao and Fan Tietou stood tall and agreed.
Yang Jing said again: "Monkey, you bring the spear company over!" ”
"Yes!"
The spear company commander monkey who had turned positive was also upright, and he suddenly agreed.
After the three of them turned around and left the headquarters, Long Yun, the deputy captain of the Dragon Soul Special Operations Brigade, couldn't help but ask: "Tuanza, when will our Special Operations Brigade be able to go to the battlefield to fight devils?"
In the previous battle of Tengxian, except for the time when the support first came, the brothers were not able to participate in the war.
These guys have been itching for a long time, you see, are they also going up to kill a few devils? ”
Yang Jing didn't answer and asked: "I think it's your kid who is itching, right?" ”
"Hey, hey!"
Long Yun smiled.
Yang Jing said with a straight face: "This is a conventional operation, you are an elite special combat team that I have cultivated by spending a lot of financial, material and energy, of course you can't participate in this kind of battle!"
Isn't the war situation critical, so you have to join?
What's the hurry, when necessary, there will definitely be a place for the special operations brigade! ”
"Oh! That humble position is waiting, don't kill a few little devils, this hand is itchy! Long Yun smiled and nodded.
…………
PS! Gentlemen, the gap with the 5th place is getting bigger and bigger.
Can I give more than one monthly pass?
Thank you!
