1083. Attack Fengxincheng
The suicide of Harada, the commander of the Japanese army, caused the total annihilation of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 34th Wing of the 216th Division, and a few of the remaining scattered enemies may escape.
The Japanese army has always had a convention, that is, when most of the troops are killed in battle and its commander is also killed, it can be declared that all the troops are broken, as long as the commander is not dead, it is not counted, even if it is the last person of the commander.
If there is a unit with a number, it may be revoked due to all the jade fragments, but at present, the Harada Brigade, which does not have its own exclusive number, will generally not be revoked.
In the early morning, the morning light shines through the mist of the winter morning and the smoke that slowly dissipates, revealing the remains of soldiers in the valley.
Luo Zhicheng, the commander of the third battalion, called several infantry companies to go up the ridge at this moment, and while hiding in the mountains and forests, they rested and made up for sleep, and each company only sent one squad of people to take turns to be on guard.
The battlefield in the valley was cleaned by the battalion guard platoon, which had not participated in the battle last night, and the guards were mainly holding shell guns to replenish the guns of the Japanese corpses or the wounded soldiers who might have fallen on the ground.
After making up for it, I started to clean it, in fact, there are not many weapons of the devils, and some bulky ones were destroyed and discarded along the way, such as the ninety-two heavy machine, which was disassembled by the devils, and the parts were thrown everywhere, and the most important bolt could not be found, and it was estimated that it was thrown into some pond.
As for those mortars, crooked light machine guns and 38 rifles, they were also smashed and smashed, disassembled and disassembled, and thrown all over the mountain, and there was no time and effort to find parts to assemble.
But mortar shells and rifle machine gun bullets can be picked up, mortar shells can be used compatible, and many of the mortars in the first class are imitations of the Japanese style.
Most of the rifle machine gun bullets belong to the Tomosaka bullet, and the caliber does not match the medium ** weapon, but many of the medium ** have Japanese-style weapons inside, and there are 38 rifles and crooked light machine guns in the third battalion.
Those excellent shooters prefer the 38 rifle, which has a long barrel, long range, high accuracy, good stability, good rifling quality, and high use rate.
The previous 38 rifle had the disadvantage that the bullet penetrated the body and was not very destructive, but now the Japanese army has corrected the bullet warhead of the 38 rifle and changed the previous pointed bullet to a little round head.
Such a bullet will produce irregular turning after being fired into **, and the effective release of kinetic energy will bring greater damage, but it will affect the accuracy of long distances.
The Japanese army is still equipped with dummy bullets, that is, double-shot cannon bullets, and the warhead will explode again after hitting the **, this kind of bullet is internationally prohibited, but the Japanese army is even using poison gas, and does not pay attention to any international conventions at all.
The dummy bullet is a little different from ordinary bullets, the warhead will be a little rounder and fatter, and the Japanese army also painted red paint on its shells, commonly known as red bullets.
However, the Japanese army's poison gas bombs were painted with various colors, but fortunately, the machine gun company mastered these rules, knew what color and what kind of shells, and if there were, they would also use them to fight devils.
As for the two 92 infantry guns, the divisional artillery battalion has been notified to come and pull them, and the artillery battalion is equipped with mule and horse transport teams, and they have special tools and men and horses for pulling artillery.
Although this area of Fengxin is said to be a mountainous area in northern Jiangxi, it cannot be compared with the De'an area of Jiujiang, the mountains are very short, they are some hilly hills, and occasionally there are some mountains and forests where soldiers can be hidden.
However, if the enemy planes come and the mountains and forests are the targets of the enemy planes' bombing, it is better to hide directly in the ditches outside, and according to the usual practice and the psychology of the Japanese pilots, they are bombing the mountains, forests and houses, so these places are the places where the Tibetans go.
Battalion Commander Luo was worried that the Japanese planes would bomb during the day, and there would be no bunkers to hide in these places, so he urged the troops to sleep and move to places where there were no traces of war.
However, the Japanese planes never dropped bombs on Ganshulong, and occasionally flew over Ganshulong, heading towards Fengxincheng, where the fighting was now in full swing.
Today is already 13 December, and the general offensive of the winter offensive has been launched in an all-round way, and in the northwest of Jiangxi, several group armies in the Ninth Theater have repeatedly dispatched troops to besiege the enemy's strongholds.
The Japanese troops in the Jing'an and Anyi areas were attacked and could not spare themselves to fight Mantou Mountain, and the 3rd Infantry Brigade sent by the 216th Wing of the Fengxin Japanese Army was also wiped out by the 3rd Battalion in Ganshulong.
Therefore, there was no need to hold on to Mantou Mountain for the time being, and Liu Guangyu, the commander of the 152nd Regiment, ordered the third battalion to arrive at Fengxin as soon as possible and assault the empty east of Fengxin.
Fengxin is on the defensive line west of Nanchang, and the east is the enemy-occupied area connected with Nanchang, and the 152nd Regiment can only deploy such a large force in the west of Fengxin.
After fighting for half a night last night, the enemy's position outside the West Gate of Fengxin was basically swept away, and the West Gate Tower had already begun, so most of the main forces of the Japanese army defending the city were attracted to the past.
Liu Guangyu, the commander of the 152nd Regiment, ordered Ganshulong, which was located in the north of Fengxin, to immediately set off to attack the position in the east of Fengxin, and took advantage of the situation by surprise.
After receiving this order, Luo Zhicheng, the commander of the third battalion, was so remorseful that he wanted to die, and handed over the 92 nd infantry artillery to the divisional artillery battalion one step earlier.
But there are two problems in this, one is that it is not possible to walk fast with the infantry artillery, and the distance on the map from Ganshulong to the east of Fengxin City is about four kilometers, and it is estimated that it will take an hour to walk.
If the infantry artillery is dragged and the speed is even slower, according to the current bad road conditions, it will not be able to be transported in two hours, and it will take two hours to arrive, wouldn't it be so angry that Regiment Commander Liu will kill him?
Secondly, there is a more difficult problem to solve, that is, how can the Japanese planes above their heads be spared by pulling infantry artillery so openly and quickly?
A few bombs were dropped, not only were the infantry guns gone, but it was very likely that a group of people would have to be hit, and it was really not cost-effective to fight such a chicken-and-egg fight.
But now, even if they don't drag the infantry artillery, how can the hundreds of people in the third battalion survive the enemy's planes from Ganshulong to Fengxin?
Luo Zhicheng looked at the hundreds of people under his command, still sleeping in the mountains and forests like dead pigs, and his heart was inevitably tightened, just after coming down from the war, he was going to take them across the line of fire and go to death.
But the war is like this, it's not that the daughter's family is playing at home, death is inevitable, knowing that there is a fire pit in front of you, you have to jump down if you don't jump, and you can't die.
Thinking that when he was the commander of the Seventh Company before, it is estimated that Liu Guangyu, the battalion commander above, also thought so, who likes to pull his subordinates to jump into the fire pit, but for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of victory, and in order to kill the enemy, it doesn't matter what fire pit or knife mountain he has.
It is estimated that the first and second battalions of the 152nd Regiment have been fighting very hard, so they will let the third battalion run long distances to attack the other side of Fengxin.
