Chapter 226: The Bloody Battle (4)
Use the special operation to decapitate the lone Uemura detachment!
The primary target, naturally, was the command organ of the Uemura detachment. Once successful, the Japanese army, which had just broken through the defense line of the national army and had not yet gained a firm foothold, would definitely fall into great confusion. But to achieve this combat goal, the difficulty is too great.
Because it is necessary to quickly intersperse, fight quickly and rush quickly, and large group operations will definitely not work. Due to the weakness of the Chinese Air Force, air supremacy over Mount Yuelu has completely fallen into the hands of the Japanese Army Air Force and the Naval Air Force. Although the Yuelu Mountains are high and densely forested, which is conducive to the concealment and maneuvering of the troops, the rivers and mountains still dare not take this risk. If there is a slight mistake and a trace of clues is revealed, the Japanese intelligence agencies will definitely chase after them like hunting dogs. Once the grass is startled, the Uemura detachment is given time to prepare and adjust the defensive line, and then it is difficult to find out the old fox Uemura Keio, in the midst of thousands of troops.
In addition, although the Uemura detachment is alone, so far, it has only fought head-on with the 210th and 211th regiments near the Laodao River and the Xinqiang River. Although the offensive momentum of the entire detachment was temporarily blocked, the troop structure was basically preserved, and the combat effectiveness did not decline much. Once the Falcon Special Operations Team cannot successfully complete the decapitation operation of the Kamimura Detachment, the special operation will inevitably be transformed into a defensive battle or a tough battle, and that is when the three main regiments of the entire Falcon Special Operations Brigade will play a role. Playing all the hole cards in your hand at one time is not the style of the country.
At ten o'clock in the evening, a sudden drizzle suddenly fell in the sky, and the whole valley was shrouded in mist. This made Jiangshan overjoyed, it was like falling asleep and sending a pillow! The moon in the middle of the moon is big and round, and the original bright moonlight will become a big obstacle for the falcon team to hide their tracks.
After tidying up the equipment on his body and carefully checking the weapons and ammunition, Jiang Shan looked at several members of the Falcon squad who were ready to go in front of him, waved his hand, and whispered: "Let's go!" Soon, the group disappeared into the night and rain.
Due to the lack of effective reconnaissance methods, Jiang Shan could be said to have no idea about the deployment of the Kamimura detachment, and could only grope his way forward step by step according to the vague battlefield situation.
Lying in the grass on the side of the road, watching the Japanese patrol group passing in front of him. Jiang Shan secretly spat at the foam, and couldn't help but feel a little bad in his heart. I only walked for a long time before I ran into a Japanese patrol group, and I really didn't know how many difficulties and dangers were waiting for me and the whole team along the way.
For this patrol team, Jiang Shan chose to hide his tracks and did not make a rash move. For the entire battle situation, a dozen or so ordinary devils cannot play a decisive role. And killing these dozen devils may warn the Japanese army that their own defense line has loosened. You can't do stupid things that startle snakes, this is common sense.
More than a dozen devils swaggered past the side of the highway with guns in their hands, unaware that they had turned around at the gate of the ghost gate.
After the gang of devils walked away, Jiang Shan did not rashly order the team to act, but just waved his hand to let the hound fall far away. There must be more than one patrol of devils, and it is just this opportunity to feel the rules of action of the Japanese patrol.
Twenty minutes later, the second Japanese patrol passed by, and after another ten minutes, the first patrol returned the same way. After a rough estimate, Jiang Shan had a preliminary judgment in his heart. Judging from the time interval, the interval between the Japanese patrols was about 20-30 minutes, and the strength was a squad. Judging by the foot patrols of the Japanese army, it was not too far from its command structure. At the same time, according to the round-trip time of the first patrol team, its patrol distance is roughly between 3-5 kilometers, according to the Japanese infantry tactical discipline, the patrol team is generally sent in four directions at the same time, and this is only one of the directions. A patrol passed by every twenty minutes, which made the country big for a while. That is to say, the Uemura detachment is now almost shrunk into a hedgehog!
Fortunately, the hound that fell from the first patrol did not disappoint him - a few minutes later, he quietly returned to Jiangshan and brought back the password of the Japanese army tonight - "Showa" and "Changjiu".
In fact, it is too simple to get the password, the first patrol arrives at the turnaround point and returns, and the second patrol will inevitably be encountered on the way. While the two teams asked and answered the correct commands, the hounds hiding in the grass on the side of the road naturally heard them clearly.
After conveying the Japanese army's password, Jiang Shan cautiously instructed that when answering the password, he must bring a little Kumamoto accent. The Uemura detachment came from the 6th Division, and the 6th Division's recruiting place was Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. Kumamoto's soldiers have a characteristic that the people are fierce and have a strong sense of locality, and many officers and soldiers have a very strong Kumamoto accent. If you don't pay attention to this detail, there is a good chance that something will go wrong. Jiang Shan didn't want to delay a big deal because of a small mistake.
After everything was arranged, the Falcon team continued to set off, shuttling back and forth in the dense gap between the Japanese army, looking for all the gaps that could be used, and moving forward step by step towards the command center of the Uemura detachment.
It's just that what annoys Jiangshan is that this road is really frightening step by step. The farther inward, the denser the Japanese army became, and the less space there was for the Falcon squad to move around. In the end, it was simply difficult to walk on thin ice.
At the same time, in the temporary headquarters of the Japanese Uemura detachment, Uemura Keio was also struggling with the combat map.
After successfully opening the defense line of the Chinese army, the Shangcun detachment finally opened a gap in the entire defense line of the Xinqianghe-Laodaohe-Jinjing-Miluo River. This made the newly appointed commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, General Shunroku Hata, overjoyed. The line of defense formed by the Chinese army has always been a steel wall between Wuhan and Changsha. The Chinese army successfully took advantage of natural hazards and geographical advantages to block the 11th Army's advance in the occupation of Changsha. Now, a hole has finally been opened in this line of defense, and Shunroku Hata immediately personally ordered the Uemura detachment to stand on the breakthrough while striving to spread out to both flanks and expand the results of the battle. At the same time, the Nara Detachment and the headquarters of the 6th Division were in the center, the 106th Division was on the left flank, and the 33rd Division was on the right flank, quickly approaching the breakthrough to find the main force of the Chinese army and annihilate it.
The operational concept was perfect, the order was resolute, and there were absolutely no problems with the execution of the Uemura detachment. But what makes Uemura Keio nerve-wracking is that what seems to be a matter of course has gone wrong. If the headquarters of the detachment is fixed, the Chinese army will also hold the defensive line and will not try to regain its position, as it did the other day; However, once the Uemura detachment wanted to attack the flanks and expand the results of the battle, the resistance of the Chinese army became as fierce as chicken blood, and many soldiers were simply crazy, and did not hesitate to use their bodies and lives to block the attack of the Japanese soldiers.
Seeing that the day had passed, in the evening, another piece of unsettling news came to Uemura Keio - the headquarters of the 6th Division was stubbornly blocked by the Chinese army near Gao'an, and it was impossible to meet the detachment before dawn tomorrow according to the order of the headquarters of the 11th Army. It is conservatively estimated that it will take two days to break through the resistance of the Chinese army at the earliest. At the same time, the attack of the 106th Division and the 33rd Division did not go smoothly, and it was simply impossible to accomplish the set operational objectives. In other words, for at least two days, the Uemura detachment will be fighting alone.
Looking at the gloomy weather outside the tent, Yoshio Uemura let out a long sigh. For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
"I hope I'm worried about nothing!" Uemura comforted himself in his heart, and then put his mind elsewhere. It's just that he didn't expect that in the night, a sharp sword was stabbing at him.
