Chapter 547: Bloody Battle of Poyang Lake (1)
When Qi Rui learned that there were still devils in the Ninth Division, he immediately asked Liang Qing to beat them hard, and immediately telegraphed Zhang Lingfu and Huang Wei to ask them to rush to Douli Mountain and make the most suitable way to attack according to the battle situation at that time.
The most suitable thing for Qi Rui is to formulate the most effective offensive method according to the number of devils, formation, offensive mode and location and other conditions.
Because he was not there, he could not assign combat missions to the Guo army in advance, which depended on their battlefield situation and analysis ability.
This time, the Guo army came to Zhang Lingfu and Huang Wei, two famous anti-Japanese generals, and they still have a certain ability to control the battlefield, so Qi Rui believes that they can make the right choice according to the battle situation.
The 74th Army and the 18th Army, which had not yet reached Dagaoling, received Qi Rui's telegram and immediately went straight to Pocket Mountain, and Zhang Lingfu and Huang Weiquan both sent scouts to reconnoiter in advance.
These two are definitely fierce generals in the fruit army, which is why Xue Yue and Luo Zhuoying sent them to assist Qi Rui.
Zhang Lingfu and Huang Wei didn't dare to be careless, let alone be compared to Qi Rui's Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade, because the 74th Army and the 18th Army were both ace armies in the Guo Army.
In order to prevent the Sixth Division in the lake from forcibly landing again, Qi Rui and his people could not leave for the time being, and Qi Rui's retreat was also temporarily out of the range of naval guns.
Qi Rui is not afraid that the devils will land from other places, because then they will not be able to pose a threat to Douli Mountain, and if they land from other places, Qi Rui and his people can quickly rush over to intercept them.
If the 6th Division landed on the north bank of Oshan, it would be at peace with the 9th Division, and then Qi Rui would leave here, but Qi Rui concluded that the 6th Division would not land on the north bank, because then they would not be able to achieve their combat mission.
Before Liang Qing went to Douli Mountain, Qi Rui had already told him several tactics, and they were carefully explained according to the terrain, the purpose was to let Liang Qing respond to the enemy according to the formation and number of devils.
Liang Qing personally did the reconnaissance and came back and immediately made arrangements according to Qi Rui's No. 3 plan, this time the main attack was the White Russian cavalry, and their task was to drag the devil army until the arrival of reinforcements from the Guo army.
The task of the lone wolf brigade and Jiulongzhai is to protect the two wings of the White Russian cavalry, and the purpose of this operation is to drag and weaken the devils, not to annihilate them all, because the devils are a first-class infantry brigade.
If it was another fruit army, Liang Qing and Qi Rui would not be so relieved, but it was the 74th Army and the 18th Army that came, it was different.
Major General Yoshiyoshi Akiyama, commander of the 9th Division, is also a fierce general on the devil's side, and this person is calmer and calmer than Ushijima Man.
When he received the battle order, he immediately rushed to the north of Mt. Douli with his brigade, where he carefully studied the map and gave combat orders to the commander of the 7th Wing, Kazuo Isa, and the commander of the 35th Wing, Fuji Suekiyoshi.
"Captain Izzo! There are four small lakes around Douli Mountain, and if I were Qi Rui, I would definitely use the terrain here to ambush! So your task is to spare this small lake in the easternmost part and advance in the direction of Poyang Lake! It's best not to let Qi Rui find out! Akiyama Yoshiyoshi ordered,
"Hey!" Kazuo Iza commanded,
"Fujii Daisa! I'll join you and we'll go straight between the two small lakes! It's best to have a firefight with Qi Rui first! That way, you will be able to form a flanking attack with the Iza United's Qi Rui's troops! ”
"Hey!"
"Brigade commander! I see that our reconnaissance plane is reconnoitring, didn't we find the exact location of Qi Rui's army? Kazuo Iza asked,
"There is no news, this is not surprising, because the military uniforms of the wolf-headed army are very strange, as long as they do not move on the ground, the reconnaissance planes in the air will not be able to distinguish them!" The devil also made a detailed investigation of the wolf-headed army, and also analyzed their military uniforms.
"Then I'm leaving!" Kazuo Iza finished speaking and left.
Fujii Sueyoshi also immediately conveyed the order, and the 35th Wing began to advance towards Mt. Douri.
Dubov and the White Russian cavalry had already built fortifications between the two small lakes, which were still some distance away from Poyang Lake, so they did not have to worry about an attack from the surface of Poyang Lake.
In addition, Liang Qing asked the lone wolf brigade to guard between the small lake and Poyang Lake on the left to prevent the devils from bypassing, and the Jiulong Village was on the small lake on the right, so the White Russian cavalry could fight the devils with peace of mind.
Dubov divided his team into three teams, digging three trenches every 100 meters in front and back as a defensive buffer.
Liang Qing, as the commander-in-chief of the Douli Mountain, was behind them, and the task of the Dubov White Russian cavalry was to hold on until the reinforcements arrived, which was a tough battle, because the Ninth Division on the opposite side was also a division of the devil, and its combat effectiveness was also very strong.
The 35th Wing of the 6th Division finally appeared in the sight of the White Russian cavalry, and there was probably a brigade in front, and they were not moving fast, and they all moved forward very carefully.
At this moment, the first squad of the White Russians at the forefront is all squatting in the trenches, and they will attack immediately when the devils enter the firing range.
Because the White Russian cavalry made some camouflage to the trenches. The trenches are not visible from the direction from which the devils are coming.
When the devil entered the firing range, the first team of the White Russian team got up very neatly and showed its head and began to shoot the devil.
Qi Rui was fair to any team, and the White Russian cavalry had the same number of machine guns, grenades and mortars as the other teams.
Qi Rui's team is still relatively wealthy, especially this time Long Lan brought back a batch of weapons, among which the Czech light machine gun is the most.
In addition, the light and heavy machine guns of the devils captured before and after can basically ensure at least one light machine gun for every ten-person squad combat unit, and one heavy machine gun for a fifty-person combat unit.
Therefore, in the first squad of the White Russian cavalry, there are two heavy machine guns on both sides of the trench to form crossfire, and there will be a light machine gun for every ten people in the middle, and the other White Russian cavalry are also equipped with submachine guns, so don't look at the first squad There are only more than 100 people, but the firepower is very fierce.
Both Akiyama Yoshiyoshi and Fujii Sueyoshi were very cautious, because they knew who their opponent was, so the team that was walking in the front was very careful, and suddenly opened fire on the opposite side, and the firepower was very fierce, and the devils of this brigade had already prepared to immediately lie down and start to counterattack, so the curtain of a bloody battle on the east side of Poyang Lake was opened.
Although a group of devils were killed as soon as they came up, they immediately organized a counterattack, and Fujii Suekishi, who was followed by this devil brigade, immediately ordered mortar bombardment to cover the brigade in front.
Yoshiyoya Akiyama immediately telegraphed Okamura Ninji to request air support, and he quickly received a reply that the 4th Flying Group, which had been on standby for a long time, had taken off.
