Chapter 913: General Attack
Almost at the same time as the Feixi Independent Regiment started an ambush battle, the main force of the Dameishan Military Division also launched a general attack on the Kumamoto Division on the battlefield of Badou Town. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In yesterday's battle, the positions on the left and right flanks of the Kumamoto Division were all lost, and the 13th Infantry Wing and the 45th Infantry Wing stationed on the two flanks were all disabled.
So far, the 47th Infantry Wing of the Kumamoto Division has been completely annihilated, the 13th Infantry Wing and the 45th Infantry Wing have suffered heavy losses, and the losses of the 23rd Infantry Wing are relatively small, but they are also more than half of the casualties, so there are not many infantry that the Kumamoto Division can really fight.
The strength of the Kumamoto Division is still nearly 20,000, but there are less than 10,000 infantry left, and the remaining 10,000 or so are all engineers, artillery, baggage troops, and other technical arms, which cannot be compared with the infantry of the infantry wing in terms of fighting will and training.
Therefore, purely in terms of infantry, the Kumamoto division no longer has any advantage, and is even at a disadvantage.
This is not the worst, the worst thing is that the ammunition reserves of the Kumamoto division have been exhausted, the ammunition is gone, this is the real death, there are no shells, all the artillery has become an ornament, there are no bullets, all the machine guns are scrapped, there are no rifle bullets, the infantry can only fight the enemy with bayonets.
In terms of the will to fight, the Kumamoto Division is not lost to the veterans of the Dameishan Military Division, if it is judged by the quality of individual soldiers, the veterans of the Dameishan Military Division may be slightly better, but it is also stronger, in terms of command attainments, Okabe Naosaburo is of course not as powerful as Xu Rui, but this is not irreparable, in the positional warfare, the command attainments are a little worse, in fact, the impact is not too great, but without ammunition, this is really deadly.
Plus it was night again, and the Kumamoto division could not get fire support from aviation.
Therefore, the result was very bad, and the fortifications that the Kumamoto Division hastily built were like ice and snow doused with boiling water in the face of the attacks of the various units of the Dameishan Military Division, and they quickly melted.

Ji Cheng, commander of the third battalion, led a combat group and personally took charge of the main attack.
"Xiao Wang!" Ji Cheng roared, and Xiao Wang, the soldier in charge of fire support, immediately straightened up from the crater where he was hiding, and held a machine gun to shoot a long point in front of him, and the fierce gunfire immediately attracted the devil's idea, and the next moment, the devil's machine gun immediately swept over, and Xiao Wang quickly retracted into the crater.
Taking advantage of the short gap when the devil machine gun was attracted by Xiao Wang, Ji Cheng and his guard Xiao Zhao jumped up at the same time, and detoured from the left and right sides respectively, the devil machine gunner quickly found out, and fired fiercely at Ji Cheng, Ji Cheng jumped into a trench and hidden, but Xiao Zhao continued to rush forward quickly.
By the time the devil machine gunner turned the muzzle of the gun and fired fiercely at Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao had already taken more than a dozen steps forward, and was less than fifty meters away from the hiding position of the devil machine gunner.
"Boom!" After the explosion, the Devil Heavy was killed on the spot, and the machine gun was dumb.
As soon as the devil machine gun went out, Xiao Wang, the machine gunner who had just been suppressed in the crater, immediately turned over and sat up, put the machine gun on the edge of the crater, and fired violently at the front.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Cheng quickly rushed forward.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Cheng also came to the devil's position.
At the beginning, Ji Cheng was worried that the little devil would throw out the grenade, but until Ji Cheng threw out two grenades, he never saw the devil on the opposite side throw out the grenade to retaliate, so Ji Cheng judged that the little devil on the opposite side had no grenades, and immediately took off all the remaining six grenades hanging on his waist and threw them out one by one.
After the continuous explosions, more than a dozen devils on the opposite position were either killed or injured.
Then, Ji Cheng's guard Xiao Zhao was the first to rush into the devil's position with a bayonet, only to see that at this time, more than a dozen devils on the position had all fallen in a pool of blood, only one devil had not swallowed his breath, struggling to sit up, trying to fight with Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao almost didn't think about it, he stabbed into the devil's heart with a knife in his hand, the devil whimpered softly, and his head immediately drooped down, Xiao Zhao put away the knife and retreated, and the devil immediately fell to the ground.
Almost at the same time that Ji Cheng's group broke through the devil's defense, the other two groups on both sides also broke through.
The same scene was played out at the same time on multiple fronts in different directions and several kilometers long throughout the battlefield.
Xu Rui brought over the three-three system tactics from another time and space, that is the strongest infantry assault tactics that have been repeatedly proven by the Liberation War and the Korean War, in the face of the three-three system tactics of the Chinese People's Volunteers, even the US troops armed to the teeth seem to have few methods, and in many cases, hitting the barrel of the machine gun to scrap may not be able to kill a volunteer soldier, which is of course inseparable from the superb tactical quality of the volunteer soldiers, but the three-three system tactics are also indispensable.
In the face of the veterans of the Dameishan Military Division, who were armed with the tactics of the three-three system, the little devils really did not have much to do, except to be beaten or beaten, and less than two hours after the general offensive began, the periphery of the core position of the Kumamoto Division was continuously lost, and the battle line had advanced to the outside of Okabe Naosaburo's division and regimental headquarters.

In the headquarters of the Kumamoto Division, it was almost a pot of porridge.
The telephone soldiers were frantically shouting at the microphones, the signal soldiers were nervously sending and receiving telegrams wearing headphones, and the operational staff officers of the General Staff Department were busy carrying out their operations on the map according to the latest battle reports reported by various wings.
Shigeta Shigetoku, chief of staff of the Kumamoto Division, was holding a phone and yelling, and several captains of the engineer wing, the baggage wing, the cavalry wing, and the artillery wing were all nervously gathered around the map, pointing and saying something to the latest enemy situation on the map.
Naosaburo Okabe stood outside the tent with a blank expression with a saber in hand.
"Boom!" A cannonball landed outside the square-roofed tent of the headquarters, exploding violently, splashing sand and rustling on the tent, and a lot of sand particles also fell on Okabe Naosaburo's face, and these hot sand grains fell on his body, but Okabe Naosaburo didn't even furrow his eyebrows, as if it wasn't his body.
Okabe Naosaburo really doesn't care much about this little bit of physical pain, compared to the pain and hesitation in his heart, what is this little pain in the flesh?
After Shigeta Shigetoku made the call, he came out of the tent and said to Naosaburo Okabe: "Division Commander, you better go to the underground shelter and take shelter, it's no longer safe here." ”
As if he hadn't heard, Naosaburo Okabe said, "Shigeta-san, do you regret it?" ”
"Regrets?" Shigeta Shigetoku was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he reacted, Okabe Naosaburo was asking him if he regretted his decision to stay in Hachito Town, Shigeta Shigetoku pondered for a moment and said, "Division Commander, I don't regret my humble position, if you can do it all over again, I will still recommend that you stay." ”
Okabe Naosaburo said faintly, "Why? ”
Shigeta Shigetoku said solemnly: "Because we are the Kumamoto Division with fine traditions, and our Kumamoto Division is one of the two most capable divisions among the seventeen permanent divisions of the Great Japanese Emperor, we can be defeated, or even completely annihilated, but we must not be intimidated by the enemy!" ”
"You're right, we can be defeated, even annihilated, but we must not be intimidated." Naosaburo Okabe nodded, then looked up at the starry sky, and said quietly, "Shigeta-san, take a good look at the night sky, because soon we will fall into the endless darkness and never see the light of day." ”
Shigeta Shigetoku's expression was miserable, and he said in a low voice: "Division commander, the situation is not so bad......"
"Shigeta-san, you don't have to comfort me anymore." Okabe Naosaburo shook his head and said indifferently, "No matter what, I am the division commander of the Kumamoto Division, what is the current situation of the Kumamoto Division, you know, don't I know?" In fact, as early as when Daping Town was fighting with the Dameishan Independent Regiment, we were already at the end of the crossbow. ”
Shigetoku Shigeta was speechless, because what Naosaburo Okabe said was indeed telling the truth.
If it weren't for the end of the crossbow, how could the Kumamoto Division retreat from Oping Town?
After that, the reason why they decided to stay in Badou Town was not because the Kumamoto Division still had the strength to fight, but because they were unwilling, on the one hand, they were unwilling to fall into the prestige of the Kumamoto Division, and on the other hand, they were actually lucky, they originally thought that even if they reached the end of the strong crossbow, they could insist on the arrival of reinforcements!
However, the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny.
In the end, it turned out that they still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, and they still couldn't hold out until the reinforcements arrived, because Nakamura Jun's independent mixed 13th Brigade was still at least thirty miles away, and it would take at least more than three hours to reach Badou Town, and they couldn't hold out for even half an hour.
"Boom!" Another shell landed not far away and exploded with a bang.
Shigeta Shigetoku hurriedly took his body in front of Okabe Naosaburo and said, "Division commander be careful. ”
Okabe Naosaburo gently pushed Shigeta away, looked up at the night sky, and said faintly: "The night tonight is really beautiful, more beautiful than the night in my hometown of Hiroshima." (To be continued.) )
