709. The Devil Is Going to Break Out
Taking advantage of the dense number of devils, the troops of the 51st Division used mortars to rain mortar shells on the three lines of defense in the central position.
After these bombings, the devils were blown up to cry wolf, and the bunkers dug before were not enough for so many people to hide, and many people were exposed on the surface of the position.
Rather than being killed by the Chinese army in turns, it is better to rush out, even if you can't rush out, it is better to kill some people than to wait for death, in case you rush out, you will have to live.
Now the surrounded devils are completely desperate, they had fought for a day yesterday, escaped for a day, and almost ran out of food, so they fled to Maogu Village, wanting to take a breath.
As a result, the Chinese army still pursued closely, not giving them a chance to breathe, and this time it was surrounded again, and the soldiers fought less and less, the wounded soldiers more and more, and the ammunition became less and less.
The key is not to see the arrival of reinforcements, this is the most desperate, I heard that the large army is also gradually retreating, is fighting Lanfeng, to open their own retreat, in order to have the time and mood to take care of their lonely army.
Now either defend to the death and wait for the large army to come to the rescue, but if you can't wait for the arrival of the large army, it is estimated that everyone will die here.
Either break through the encirclement, but now that the ammunition is exhausted, there are still a large number of wounded soldiers, and it is difficult to break out of the Chinese army surrounded by this layer.
The 59th Wing Headquarters of the Japanese Army was now shrouded in an atmosphere of despair, and Nasu Yuo Daisa had to call for someone to start burning documents, and even gave the order to shoot his own wounded soldiers.
Then he ordered the troops, divided into several groups of men and horses, and broke through to the surrounding area, and he took the largest group of troops to break through to Lanfeng in the northwest direction.
On the side of the Seventh Company, it had temporarily stopped, and it was impossible to defeat the core position of the devils at once, waiting for the rear to replenish ammunition and a short rest to eat.
In the telescope, looking at the devil's dilapidated position and house, the people inside were moving around frequently, which gave Sangou an ominous premonition, and the devil was estimated to start a big breakthrough.
However, the Chinese army has gradually slowed down the pressure of the attack, and the ammunition on the side of the 7th Company is almost exhausted, and it is especially necessary to transport some explosives packs in the back, ready to use the demoman to blow up those strong bunkers and firing points.
Sangou took advantage of the meal time and immediately asked the correspondent Da Kui to hurry up to contact Camp Commander Liu, the devil had signs of breaking through, and hoped to report to the top as soon as possible and take corresponding measures.
As soon as Da Kui walked on the front foot, the devils began to act, first of all, a strong counter-charge, and in all directions, the Chinese army was suddenly rushed through several openings due to fatigue and lack of ammunition.
Then the devils divided into several large groups and continued to attack the encirclement, and in the central position of the devil's nest, Maogu Village, there were still devils holding on.
This is the old way of the Japanese army, although it is in a comprehensive breakout, so that you can't figure out the real direction of the breakthrough, and there are still personnel guarding the lair.
makes you unclear about the true intentions of the devil, and also leaves a way back for yourself, in case you can't get out, you can retreat to the lair.
The key is the execution of this tactic, that is, a crazy army like a devil can resolutely carry out such a task, especially the troops who stick to the old nest.
In case everyone breaks through and goes out, the troops who stick to the old nest are equivalent to a dead end, and according to the Chinese troops, not many people will be willing and desperate to carry out this dead end order.
But the Japanese army can, their bushido spirit and the idea of loyalty to the emperor who have been brainwashed by ****, feel that dying on the battlefield is a supreme honor.
Fighting against such a madman is really a headache, not to mention that these madmen are more powerful than you, and their weapons and equipment are better than yours, which is uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the 51st Division took up three main infantry regiments in a row this time, relying on the large number of people, no matter whether the Japanese army attacked in confusion or really broke through, whether it broke through at multiple points or stubbornly waited for reinforcements, anyway, it was covered by water.
The 51st Division was constantly deploying troops, and the Japanese army was entangled in all directions to break through, and it was not so easy to get rid of the entanglement of so many troops at once.
The Japanese army actually lacked soldiers and major generals and ammunition, and there used to be long-range firepower support, but now there is no more, and if you really take these tired soldiers out to fight, you really can't fight the strong 51st Division.
Several regiments of the 51st Division, especially the 305th Regiment, although they also fought vicious battles in succession, they were replenished in a timely manner, and both physical strength and ammunition were relatively sufficient.
The division headquarters of the 51st Division has always had a field supplementary regiment, although it is called field warfare, but this regiment is generally not on the battlefield, and is mainly responsible for recruiting and training, and constantly replenishing new recruits to various main regiments with battle damage.
Although this kind of operation is very unfair to the officers of the supplementary regiment, who have almost no chance of meritorious service, in fact, they can also take new recruits or fill the vacancy of the position of the main regiment by themselves, and they will have the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
However, in the supplementary regiment, the main focus is on recruiting and training, and in units like the recruit company of a modern army, all the recruits are recruited and first concentrated in the supplementary regiment for training.
After passing the training, they will immediately be assigned to the posts of various combat units, and this practice has ensured that there will always be no large vacancies in the soldiers of the two brigades and the four main regiments, and the phenomenon of a serious decline in combat effectiveness has occurred.
Many troops, in history, through bravery and good fighting, have won prestige, but then because of the overuse of the huge losses, the whole army collapsed, and can no longer recover its former glory.
There are many reasons for this, and many local troops are unable to achieve such a strong logistical and troop source, and it is normal for the strength of the troops to decline, and the Central Army has such convenience, and the Ministry of Military Affairs generally gives priority to the replenishment of these troops.
However, as I said before, the Ministry of Military Affairs has a set of criteria for scoring various units, and if the troops are brave and meritorious and make many meritorious contributions, the higher the scores, and the units with high scores will be given priority to be supplemented.
The 51st and 58th Divisions of the 74th Army became famous in the Battle of Songhu, followed by the Battle of Nanjing, all of which were fought very hard, and the troops suffered a lot of sacrifices.
Although Yu Jishi, commander of the 74th Army, was a close confidant of the chairman of the NPC National Committee, the 74th Army was a newly formed new army, and if it did not have excellent combat exploits, even if it was taken care of by the Ministry of Military Affairs, it would arouse the opinions of other troops.
It seems that until now, no troops have been blushing at the 74th Army, and people really rely on their own achievements, and they have given priority to replenishment in exchange for their lives, nothing to say.
With the right of priority replenishment, the 51st Division, like many other troops, has set up a special unit such as a supplementary regiment, the 58th Division also has one, and the military headquarters of the 74th Army also has a military subordinate supplementary regiment.
With these supplementary regiments, a company-level unit like the Seventh Company of the Three Dogs, even if it is a continuous bloody battle, will be replenished in time to maintain strong combat effectiveness.
