Chapter 217: Prepare for battle
In fact, it is not to blame Major General Yoshii Takuya for being furious, he this time he accepted the order of the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, Yan Junliu, to reinforce Nanchang, and before he got off the train, he heard that Nagai Yusaku Daisaku, who arrived first, had discovered a heavy artillery group in Huaxia, and was now leading his troops to attack that artillery group.
It stands to reason that once an artillery group is approached by the infantry, it is a matter of minutes for the artillery to be wiped out, but I never thought that things would turn around today, and Yusaku Nagai was beaten to the ground by the other party, this contrast is not small, and it almost made Yoshii Takumi angry.
But now it's useless to regenerate, Yoshii Takuya finally didn't lose his mind, he quickly ordered the soldiers to get off the train, and began to set up a defensive line around the train station, and some artillerymen were busy unloading the artillery coming with the train from the car, and the train station was busy at a glance.
After about ten minutes, Takumi Yoshii, who was standing on the train car and watching, saw through the telescope a group of Japanese soldiers in dark blue military uniforms in front of him who were retreating from the west to this side.
Angry, he immediately pulled out his command knife and shouted: "Come on, stop this group of cowards for me immediately, and we must not let them attack our position!" ”
"Hay!"
Although the combat experience of the Marines is not as good as that of those armies, they still know the most basic common sense, and those officers know very well that once those defeated soldiers rush over, the enemy will definitely take the opportunity to follow and rush behind, and the defense line that they have managed to lay will be dangerous, and if the opponent's large forces take the opportunity to attack their own defense line, the entire railway station will be in danger of falling.
"Da Da Di Di...... Click-and-drip......"
Soon there was a rush of military trumpets from the position of the railway station, which was used by the Japanese army to warn the rout soldiers who were falling towards the station. Let them stop and not storm their own defenses. But whether it is Takuya Yoshii or those grassroots officers, they all think too highly of the quality of these marines. As a unit with little combat experience, when their lives are threatened, the first reaction they make is no different from that of ordinary people. In the face of the shrill trumpets sounding in front of them, the retreating soldiers still rushed towards their positions as if they hadn't heard them.
Seeing such a situation, a staff officer asked Takumi Yoshii with some panic: "Your Excellency, the soldiers in front have lost their minds, should we give the order to shoot?" ”
Looking at the swarming rout in front of him, the muscles on Yoshii Takumi's face trembled, and then he said in a deep voice: "Give the order to fire immediately." Push them aside! ”
"Hai ......" the staff officer responded, and then immediately shouted to the front: "Hurry up and fire...... Fire! ”
"発砲する"
"Dada......"
As the order came down, the dense gunfire immediately rang out, and the routs who were originally running desperately towards the train station immediately fell in large pieces, and it was only then that the routs who had lost their minds in panic came to their senses a little, and some officers hurriedly shouted: "Run to both sides...... Everyone run in both directions, don't storm our positions! ”
Perhaps it was the bloody facts that quickly educated them, and they learned to be obedient, and in the face of the threat of death, they consciously dispersed to both sides. Running towards both sides of the defensive line, it didn't take long for the originally dense crowd to gradually thin out, but before the rout had completely retreated. Figures in dark green soldiers appeared one after another in front of them. When they saw the Japanese troops who were waiting for them, they did not immediately attack, but began to hide and fired rhythmically at the Japanese positions with their weapons.
Looking at the faint figure, Takumi Yoshii whispered in his mouth: "Yo Xi." This is the famous Jingguan unit, which is indeed worthy of its name, and it can spontaneously carry out fire reconnaissance on our army without an order from its superiors. The quality of this kind of tactic is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary Shina troops, so it's no wonder that Yusaku Nagai will be defeated by them. ”
It's just that although Takuya Yoshii let out a voice of admiration in his mouth, his face became more and more serious, and in the intuition of a soldier, he had a hunch that the task of reinforcing Nanchang this time might be very difficult.
As a regiment of soldiers arrived one after another, the two sides began to form a confrontation again, but unlike just now, this time it was the Japanese side on the defensive, and the independent brigade became the attacking side.
Huang Weiguo, surrounded by several guards, came to a temporary hiding point, took out his binoculars and began to observe. From the telescope, you can see that the Japanese army is relying on the railway station to arrange a temporary defense line, the scale of this railway station is not large, a main station building about 40 meters long, there are several low buildings next to it, the Japanese army is relying on these buildings to form a temporary defense line, it does not look very solid, as if it is pierced.
Seeing this, Huang Weiguo called the three battalion commanders under his command and pointed to the front and asked, "If the whole regiment attacks now, how long can you take this railway station?" ”
The commander of the first battalion pondered for a while and replied: "Sir, now our artillery has not kept up, if you rely on the infantry of the whole regiment and those dozens of mortars, I estimate that it is a bit hanging, after all, the Japanese army occupies a favorable position, and I also noticed just now that the Japanese army has also successively unloaded some artillery from the train, although they are all infantry guns and field artillery, but the power is not comparable to our mortars." ”
"The first battalion commander is right, and I mean the same thing." The commander of the second battalion is a tall and strong black man, don't look at him like Zhang Fei, but he is thick and fine, and he is very valued by Huang Weiguo.
"Tuanza, Chief Su told us to occupy the railway station as soon as possible, if we don't defeat this Japanese army, how can we occupy the railway station." The third battalion commander on the side asked helplessly.
Oh, yes...... Everyone was also a little worried when they heard it, Su Jin's order to the team was very clear, that is, to occupy the railway station and cut off the passage for reinforcements and escape of the Japanese army in Nanchang City, now that victory is in sight, they can't just watch it still.
In fact, it can be seen from here the difference between several regiment commanders under Su Jin, Li Wei and Zhang Danian are more brave and tenacious in battle, and the second and third regiments are also civilized with fierce attacks. Huang Weiguo is relatively conservative, and he rarely takes risks when he fights, but this must not be said that Huang Weiguo is afraid of war and death, otherwise a regiment would not become the most important fist unit in Su Jin. On the contrary, a battle is very tricky and spicy.
Huang Weiguo pondered for a while before saying, "The first battalion commander, the second battalion commander!" ”
"Here!"
"You take your troops to the left and right flanks of the Japanese army, and when our artillery starts shelling, you will immediately attack the Japanese army, and you must leave this Japanese army here."
When the second battalion commander and the third battalion commander heard this, they couldn't help but hesitate a little, and the two looked at each other and asked, "Tuanzao, so that there are only three battalions on the front, can you rely on the three battalions alone?" ”
"If it doesn't work, it has to work!" Huang Weiguo gritted his teeth and said: "Now the second and third regiments are on the way to come, once they arrive, seeing that we haven't taken the station yet, what do you let the people of the brigade and the second and third regiments think of us?" On weekdays, the brigade gives them the best equipment and the most veterans, but they can't even do such a thing, what do you think of the people of the second and third regiments? ”
As the military commander of the first regiment, since Huang Weiguo gave the order, as subordinates, they naturally had to obey unconditionally, and soon the soldiers of the first regiment began to be arranged, and it was rare to have a short period of peace on the battlefield.
"Smack......
A heavy slap was thrown on Yusaku Nagai's face, and the right side of his face became red and swollen.
At this time, Yusaku Nagai has long lost the graceful demeanor of a few hours ago, and the military uniform on his body has been torn a few times by something, and his face is also black and white, looking very embarrassed.
"Nagai-kun, I handed over to you the 3,000 warriors of the Third Wing, is this how you repay the expectations of His Majesty the Emperor and me?" Takumi Yoshii's voice sounded in his ears,
Nagai Yu couldn't help but shudder, after the rout of the Third Wing just now, he was carried back here by the rout, but he was quickly brought to Yoshii Takumi by two guards with a straight face.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Major General, the defeat just now is indeed my fault, I underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Jingguan Brigade of Zhina, and was too careless to think that I could fight on both sides and achieve victory, so that I suffered a crushing defeat, but I still plead with me to make meritorious service, even if I die, I will die on the road of charging!" ”
"Dead in the way of the charge?" Yoshii Takuya sneered: "At this time, you still want to charge, and now that the people of Shina have rushed in front of us, do you want to take the remaining people of the Third Wing to send them to death?" ”
"This ...... So what should we do? Yusaku Nagai asked respectfully.
"What else can I do?" Yoshii Takumi took a deep breath: "Now we can only wait, as long as we can hold out until tonight, we can launch an attack at night and rush into Nanchang City to meet with the 101st and 107th Divisions, so that most of our tasks can be regarded as completed." ”
"Huh......"
Hearing this, Yusaku Nagai was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood Takumi Yoshii's thoughts. According to the normal situation, they will definitely be stabbed to the front army headquarters after they suffer defeat today, but if it can enter Nanchang City at night to make peace with the 101st and 107th Divisions, then today's loss is naturally nothing, after all, their main task is to reinforce Nanchang, as long as the main task is completed, that little thing will naturally not be pursued, it is really worthy of their own boss, the reaction is fast!
