As for how the division guard brigade and the division search team of the 14th Division appeared here, I am afraid that no one can give Wang Weizhou an accurate answer, but Wang Weizhou knows that the division guard unit and the division search team are generally the most elite troops of the Japanese divisional and regimental military units, so Wang Weizhou instructed the 3rd Brigade and 3rd Regiment to be sure to completely annihilate this *** Sakatian Brigade. ()

However, the wish is good, but the reality is very cruel, although the Japanese division search team is now less than 300 people, but it occupies a favorable terrain, and the fortifications are relatively intact, if it were not for the bombing of the aviation unit, I am afraid that the 3rd Regiment would not have been able to strengthen this area with a brigade. Although the squadron now has the upper hand in the first battle, the Japanese search team is also extremely tenacious.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the offensive and defensive battle of Aldu had been fought for five and a half hours, and the troops used by the 2nd Division for the attack had also been replaced by 3 brigades and 3 regiments to 3 brigades and 2 regiments, and the gunfire on the Japanese positions had become sparse.

At this time, Sakata Jiro was still very calm, there were less than 80 people left in the entire brigade, and even the deputy captain was broken, but Sakata Jiro did not regret it at all, he just regretted that he did not complete the task assigned to him and the guard brigade by His Excellency the division commander. As a true samurai, Jiro Sakata has no fear of death, but he still has his own emotions. Jiro Sakata did not hate the squadron that killed more than a thousand of his comrades, because in this battle they showed courage and combat effectiveness worthy of his admiration. Jiro Sakata now hates the Army Aviation Regiment directly under the Kwantung Army Command, and there has always been a saying in the Army that the Army Aviation Regiment is unreliable.

Originally, Jiro Sakata didn't believe it, but Jiro Sakata, who had participated in the Battle of Songhu, now really felt the huge gap between the Army Aviation Regiment and the Navy Aviation Regiment. During the Battle of Songhu, the government of China transferred almost all the main forces of the air force to the Shanghai area to fight, and flew around the heads of the army and surface ships of the Empire of Japan every day, but no matter when the air force of China arrived, the naval air force of the Empire of Japan would certainly take to the air as soon as possible to provide strong support to the army. However, because the squadron was unusual, they all transferred their only dozens of fighters to the Shuangliao line, and the aviation unit of the Kwantung Army was due to the suddenness of the incident, and the air force did not provide strong support to the defenders in time, so it led to the destruction of his brigade. What made Sakata Jiro even more entangled was that the reinforcements had already arrived less than 15 kilometers away from the battlefield, but due to the harassment and sneak attack by the Shina cavalry troops, coupled with the tracking and bombing of the Shina Air Force, the half-hour journey turned into an hour and a half, and it has not yet come.

Sakata Jiro knew the situation of the troops, and perhaps in the next moment, with a charge of the Shina people and a few minutes of hand-to-hand combat, his reinforced brigade would be completely annihilated, and there was no longer the name of the Sakata Brigade of the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army in the army of the Great Japanese Empire, and the name of Sakata Jiro would also be inscribed in the name of a defeated man in the big wall of the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock" has been fighting with the squadron for so many years, and the meaning of this melody is still very clear to Jiro Sakata.

"Hey! Ladies and gentlemen, the trumpet of the people of China has sounded, the time has come for us to sacrifice our lives for the empire, and on this day next year, hundreds of thousands of people of the Great Japanese Empire will come to the Yasukuni Shrine to worship us. Jiro Sakata still said coldly. …,

The soldiers of the Sakata Brigade also know what kind of person their captain is, in their minds, their captain has never taken his life seriously, and the idea of serving the country and being loyal to His Majesty the Emperor seems to have been engraved in the heart of the captain, so they don't expect Captain Sakata to cherish their lives, after all, how can a person who doesn't take his own life seriously can take other people's lives seriously.

Hearing Sakata's order, the remaining 7th and 80th Japanese soldiers all drew their bayonets pinned to their waists, and then loaded the bayonets as quickly as possible, and then waited for Captain Sakata's order.

However, at this time, there was a rumbling chariot behind them, and Sakata and the others turned to look back, and dozens of Empire-made Type 97 chariots suddenly appeared in their sight, and the imperial flag printed on the body indicated that this chariot unit must be reinforcements sent by the Empire.

"Yamamoto, look, it's the troops of the Empire, we have been saved"

"Yaga, why did these stupid guys arrive so late, if they had come ten minutes earlier, the mountain would not have died"

"Sato, you hold on, our reinforcements have arrived, we are saved"

There was a burst of excitement on the Japanese position, and even Sakata Jiro was relieved, and at the same time he was glad that he had just hesitated for a few seconds, which caused the order to be issued a little late, and the number of the Sakata Brigade was saved, according to the imperial decree, as long as the basic structure of the army and the commander and the military flag of the unit are still there, then this army is still eligible to be rebuilt, and they did perform very well in this battle, even His Excellency the division commander will not say anything, as long as he is alive The Sakata Brigade can still exist, Even if he died, the search party of the 14th Division would still exist, but perhaps it would become the Yamada Brigade, the latter the Sato Brigade, and so on.

The Japanese position was full of excitement, and the squadron on the opposite side, which had already sounded the trumpet of the charge, had to stop as soon as it launched a charge.

"Report: A large number of Japanese combat vehicles were found one thousand meters ahead, the model is the latest Type 97 combat vehicle produced by the Japanese army, and there is no infantry."

"How many?"

"30-35 cars"

"Immediately order the Second Regiment to stop the charge and prepare for a big battle!"

"Yes!"

After the operator went out, Wang Weizhou frowned and said: "Lao Jiang, the little devil's reinforcements have arrived, Xu Si's cavalry regiment still failed to hold them back, our intelligence officers are confused this time, the Japanese army has so many tanks, and such important information has not been reported to the command, dereliction of duty." ”

"Yes, letting the cavalry troops drag the chariot troops is purely blind, Xu Si's cavalry regiment is afraid that the losses this time will be not small, otherwise with that kid's character, he would have reported to the command headquarters a long time ago." Jiang Feng also responded.

"Xiao Zhang, go check with me, has Xu Si's cavalry regiment returned, what are the losses, let him quickly send a battle summary to the command headquarters." Wang Weizhou said.

"Yes, Commander, I'll go now!"

"Division commander, it's a pity, I didn't completely annihilate the *** reinforced brigade for so long a day, I'm not reconciled!" Jiang Feng said a little depressed.

"Lao Jiang, the Japanese army has deployed a total of nearly 50,000 people in the Shuangliao area, and the vanguard of our army is also 50,000 people, it is difficult for us to completely annihilate the Kwantung Army with the same number of troops, and we must not regard the Kwantung Army as the Japanese army in the Guan, let alone the puppet army in the northeast as the puppet army in the Guannai, the two cannot be compared. As for the guard brigade and the divisional search team of the 14th Division, it is not important, the important thing is that through this battle we have attracted more Japanese troops to come, and do not forget the strategic purpose of our eastward advance operation. Besides, I dare to guarantee that there are no more than 100 little devils on the opposite side now, even if you count those who are injured, there will be no more than 300 people, and a reinforced brigade of more than 1,500 people will be less than 300 people left, so it can be said that we have been wiped out, Lao Jiang, you should also be content. Wang Weizhou said. …,

"What the division commander said is also that this time it is the 14th Brigade of the Japanese Infantry that came to support the Bantian Brigade, so far, our army has mobilized all the Japanese puppet troops in Shuangliao City in one day, the 4th Division and the 6th Division have each attracted more than 15,000 Japanese puppet troops, we have attracted more than 10,000 here, and the remaining thousands are now shrinking in several banner counties near Shuangliao, Sumu (Township), Gacha (village) level stronghold The Japanese army has all given up, it can be said that the old thing of Jingguan Longchang has sent out all the troops that can be sent in his hands, As long as we continue to send troops, the little devils will have to continue to increase troops in the Shuangliao region, and the commander's strategic goal will be easily achieved at that time. However, I think that since we have invested so much manpower and material resources, and it is not difficult to achieve the strategic objectives assigned by the commander to our military divisions, can we implement our tactical objectives on the basis of strategic objectives? "Jiang Feng is Wang Weizhou's old partner and subordinate, Jiang Feng has always been Wang Weizhou's right and left hand when he was in Luxi, so Jiang Feng still knows Wang Weizhou very well and knows that he is not a rigid person.

"Tell me what kind of tactical goal you want to achieve!"

"Annihilate the 14th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, capture Shuangliao City, and if possible, push the forces of our army division into the West Liaoning Plain." Jiang Feng said.

"Very good, in fact, our military sub-division also has this plan, although Commander Shen is not very good at commanding operations, especially not very good at commanding large corps operations, but Commander Shen's is indeed first-class. He knew that the most taboo thing in marching and fighting was to command the layman and the insider, so he delegated the command of the front line to the commanders of each division, and I and Lao Li (Li Shuangjiang) and Lao Wang (Wang Jian) as the commanders of the 3rd Route Army on the front line have the right to formulate their own combat plans, and we basically do not need to cooperate in the operation here, each fights its own, as long as the main force of the Japanese army is attracted to this side, the military subdivision has organized more than 200,000 troops this time, more than half of them are cavalry troops, and their mobility is far stronger than that of the Japanese army. Therefore, according to Commander Shen's prediction, at least more than 300,000 Japanese puppet troops should be attracted to come. Your proposal is very good, we have more than 30,000 people in the second division, plus more than 20,000 people in the 23rd division, there are more than 50,000 infantry alone, plus 3 divisions of cavalry troops, if Jingguan Longchang only sends an infantry brigade, then he will really bring us food. If there is a chance, it is not impossible to completely annihilate this *** 14th Infantry Brigade. Okay, I think the 3rd Brigade and 2nd Regiment may not be able to deal with that tank wing, so let Lin Yongxiang's 3rd Brigade all go up. Wang Weizhou was very satisfied with Jiang Feng's momentum, although sometimes he felt that his partner was actually quite like a military commander, not at all like a political worker, but somewhat similar to himself, a military cadre of his own, was appointed as a political commissar.

To tell the truth, Wang Weizhou has a lot of opinions on the appointment of military and political cadres in the military region, because in many cases, the commander of the military region does not look at what the cadres are good at. Although Wang Weizhou was sometimes vaguely aware of Han Yunhua's intentions, as soon as he entered the battlefield, he couldn't help but have some opinions in his heart.

Under Wang Weizhou's order, the Second Division did not give the Japanese army any time to breathe, just when the large force of the Japanese army had just entered the line of sight, the air force of the squadron appeared on the battlefield again, this time the intention of the squadron was obvious, they were eyeing the dozens of tanks of the Japanese army, and with the continuous dropping of aerial bombs, the Japanese tank units had to scatter in all directions to prevent being attacked by aerial bombs.

The battle lasted from the evening until the next morning, and due to the hasty entry of the Japanese into the battle, although dozens of tanks and combat vehicles took part in the battle, the night of fighting also caused heavy losses to the Japanese army. …,

Major General Taro Inoue, the commander of the 14th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Front Command and Regiment, had bloodshot eyes and asked in a hoarse voice: "Yoshimura, have you counted it, and what is the data on the bacteria lost by the Iwata Wing?" ”

"Report to Your Excellency Brigade Commander, it has been counted that in the battles last night and early this morning, our brigade lost a total of 1,433 people, of which 698 were killed in battle, 404 were lightly wounded, and 431 were seriously wounded and dying soldiers. In addition, 9 combat vehicles were lost, 7 of which were destroyed by the Chinese Air Force, and the rest were destroyed by their heavy artillery head-on hits. Chief of Staff Yoshimura Nakasa hurriedly replied.

"Yaga, do you mean to say that the Iwata Wing lost more than 40% of its troops in yesterday's battle, how is this possible, has the number of the opposite Shina unit been found out, who is their commander, and how big are the casualties of the Shina people?" Major General Taro Inoue roared angrily.

"Hai, report to Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, the opposite side of the Imperial Army is the Second Infantry Division of the Main Infantry of the Northeast Army Division of the Inner Mongolia Military Region of China, and the division commander is the deputy commander of the Northeast Army Division. According to the reports of Captain Sakata and Captain Iwata, the Shina have lost at least a thousand or more people since yesterday morning, and even more, but it is certain that their casualties are definitely much lower than those of the Empire. Yoshimura said carefully.

"Yaga, immediately replace the Iwata Wing, and if we continue to fight, the Iwata Wing will be removed from our 14th Infantry Brigade, let the Uemura Wing go up, and push out the few large-caliber guns we have in our hands, and I will have a real showdown with the Shina." Major General Taro Inoue roared.

Although Yoshimura Nakasa was well aware that it was an extremely unwise choice to provoke His Excellency the Major General now, as a chief of staff, he was well aware of his duties. Despite the apprehension in his heart, Yoshimura Nakasa still stubbornly said: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the purpose of our reinforcement of Aldu this time is to prevent the Sakata Brigade from being completely annihilated by the Shina people, and this tactical goal has been accomplished. On the other hand, of course, it is to prevent the Chinese from occupying the bridgehead of the Shuangliao city of Aldu, so he thinks that the most urgent thing for us to do now is to overhaul the fortifications and build air defense positions, and more importantly, we should immediately send a report to His Excellency the division commander, asking for help, yes, asking for help, the Chinese troops in front of us have tens of thousands of people, and we have only less than 10,000 people, and any wrong step may cause immeasurable losses, or even the total annihilation. ”

"Yaga, are you doubting my command skills? Yoshimura, you're in charge, that's good, but you have to remember that you only have the right to suggest and not to decide, now you can go out, and in half an hour I'm going to hear the roar of the 105mm gun, do you hear that? Taro Inoue said in a cold voice.

"Hay!" Yoshimura shouted helplessly.

This is Aldu on March 30, 1942, a place that was only a harsh sandy area in later generations, unlike a small but still important town like today. This was the second day of the Inner Mongolia Military Region's campaign against the Kwantung Army, and from about 5 a.m. on March 29, 1942, Wang Weizhou's 2nd and 23rd Divisions and the 5th, 6th, and 7th Cavalry Divisions had been attacking continuously for 26 hours, and the 2nd Division, which was the fastest on the march, and the front-line headquarters had now advanced 50 kilometers, 20 kilometers faster than expected.

At dawn and after a night of fighting, the soldiers and officers on both sides were already very tired, but the supreme commanders of both sides still did not want to retreat. So after a series of emergency changes of guards, the battle continued. This time, the 2nd Division and the 2nd Brigade were responsible for the attack, while the defending side was the 14th Infantry Brigade Uemura Wing, the artillery team directly under the brigade, the tank wing, etc.

Today's battle is not easy to fight, it is much more difficult than yesterday, because today's Japanese aviation unit reacted, and 12 Japanese fighters came to the position of the second division just after dawn, perhaps by luck, it happened to meet the second brigade and the third brigade to change guards, and the troops have not all entered the position, plus the sky is still only cloudy, and the line of sight is not good, so the bombing of the Japanese fighters only caused more than a dozen casualties to the second brigade, and the losses were very small.
