Chapter Ninety-Three: The First Battle of the Two Armies

In late October, the 14th Division continued north through Mukden City, and when the Japanese approached Faku, they finally encountered resistance, and the search party that was walking in front was raided by the anti-Japanese army from the north, suffering heavy casualties.

Lieutenant General Naoliang Matsuki, the commander of the division who received the report, not only did not get angry, but said happily: "Yanxi, after walking for so long, I finally found the volunteers, see where you are fleeing?" The ministries quickly followed up and prepared for the attack. ”

"Hey, prepare to attack."

The infantry moved faster, and the artillery of the 14th Japanese Division had not yet kept up, and the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Naoaki Matsuki, was anxious to prepare for battle, and his heart was too impatient.

In the eyes of Lieutenant General Naoaki Matsuki, the resistance force is a straggler, and it may be good to fight a sneak attack, but a head-on battle will not be an opponent of the Imperial Japanese army at all. So, now there is no need to wait for the artillery to come up, let's make a tentative attack first.

The 14th Division tentatively sent a squadron to attack, what role can a squadron play?

The army blocking the Japanese position in front was the 7th Brigade of the Northern Anti-Japanese Army, which was the brigade where Feng Zhanhai was.

The Japanese army in Jilin was too strong, Feng Zhanhai fought with a wing of the vanguard of the Japanese army, and the army suffered heavy casualties after the first battle, and finally knew that in the face of the attack of the Japanese army, it was not something that his own army could resist.

Feng Zhanhai finally decided to return to the Northern Anti-Japanese Army, and Feng Tian had long known that Feng Zhanhai was invincible to the Japanese army, and he would return to the camp of the Northern Anti-Japanese Army sooner or later, and leave him a brigade formation.

Just because Feng Zhanhai's brigade was reorganized too late, there were too many new recruits in the army, coupled with insufficient training of soldiers, and there was also a lack of running-in, so Feng Tian handed over the relatively easy battle of the first battle to Feng Zhanhai's Seventh Brigade.

"Da Da Da--"

"Pap-pa--pap--"

Feng Zhanhai's Seventh Brigade has been reorganized, and its weapons and equipment are no longer as shabby as before, and the strength of a regiment is arranged on the position, and the firepower is fierce.

The attack formation of a Japanese squadron was hit by the heavy fire of the resistance forces, and more than half of them were killed and wounded, so they had to retreat.

After the reorganization of the Northern Anti-Japanese Army, each brigade was reorganized according to the original Seventh Brigade, mainly to cope with the super-large establishment of the Japanese army. Under this formation, the strength of the two brigades was almost close to that of a Japanese division.

Brigade Command:

1. There shall be 1 brigade commander, 1 brigade attachment and 1 chief of staff

2. The establishment of the brigade headquarters: there are 7 departments including staff officers, adjutants, ordnance, quartermasters, military doctors, military lawyers, and veterinarians, and 1 third-level secretary (there are not so many professionals now, and some personnel are temporarily missing)

3. The units directly under the brigade are:

(1) Special Service Company, which is the brigade headquarters guard, is fully equipped with the latest hand-held machine guns (i.e. submachine guns).

(2) Cavalry company, each company has 4 platoons, with 1 captain company commander and 4 lieutenant platoon commanders. There are 2 lieutenants attached to the company, 1 warrant officer chief and 182 officers and men of the company. Equipped with seventy-nine cavalry guns (there are some vacancies for the time being).

(3) Heavy mortar company, armed with 6 heavy mortars of 150 mm caliber.

(4) Communication connection, with a full set of wired and wireless communication equipment.

The brigade consists of troops:

The infantry brigade has three infantry regiments, each of which has three battalions and one heavy machine gun company, one mortar company, one anti-aircraft artillery company and one communications platoon

The main equipment of the regiment directly under the regiment: 1. Heavy machine gun company, equipped with 12 Makqin heavy machine guns.

2. Mortar company, armed with 82 medium mortars 6 pieces.

3. Flat-firing artillery company, equipped with 4 Liao 14-year 37-mm flat-firing guns.

4. Communication platoon

Each battalion has 4 infantry companies, each company has 1 company commander, 3 platoon commanders, 1 secretary general, and 2 company members.

1. The company headquarters has 1 clerk sergeant, 1 general sergeant, 1 senior sergeant, 3 first class privates, 1 sermon sergeant, 7 miscellaneous soldiers (1 for each officer, including the company), 9 men, 1 groom, and 1 coachman.

2. The company has 3 platoons, 4 squads per platoon, a total of 12 squads, and the number of each squad is: 1 squad leader, 1 deputy squad leader, 2 senior soldiers, 4 first class soldiers, 8 second class soldiers, a total of 16 people. Armament: 79 Czech rifles per squad, 10 Czech light machine guns, 1 grenadier. Grenades are usually carried by 4 per pawn.

Each company has a total of 227 officers and men, and during the recruitment period, individual companies actually have about 150-160 men, equipped with 120 79 Czech rifles, 12 Czech light machine guns, 12 grenadiers, and 7 self-obtained pistols (used by officers). Each company is also equipped with 3 mules and horses and an iron cart to transport supplies.

According to the establishment of the whole brigade, there should be about 10,800 people, and because the number of soldiers is not completely in place for the time being, the number of individual brigades is about 8,000 to 10,000 people, and the number of combat soldiers is about 6,000 to 7,000.

Feng Zhanhai's Seventh Brigade belonged to an army that was not full, and the whole brigade was less than 8,000 men, which was slightly weaker than other brigades.

It was originally a tentative attack, and a Japanese squadron was quickly defeated and retreated, suffering nearly half of the casualties. In this regard, the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Naoliang Matsuki, did not care about this loss, and was even a little excited.

"Yanxi, judging from the intensity of firepower, this must be the main force of the resistance, and this army must be bitten and no more allowed to escape."

The official offensive began, and a large group of devils formed a thousand-man attack formation and launched an attack on the position.

"Pap--pa-pa--pap-"

The forces of a brigade of the 14th Division were at first cautiously advancing, firing at the opposite positions as they advanced.

However, the opposite position did not return fire, and the position was quiet.

Despite the lack of gunfire from the opposing resistance positions, the Japanese were cautious, fearing to be deceived.

However, the Japanese troops had already entered within 200 meters of the position, and there was still silence on the front position.

Nani, is this a god situation?

The Japanese army can't understand why the other side's resistance forces are making trouble.

One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, getting closer and closer to the position, the opposite position still did not move, and the Japanese soldiers still cautiously advanced.

The distance of fifty meters from the position was a good time for the Japanese army to launch a group attack, and the Japanese commander no longer thought about other things, no matter what conspiracy you had, first capture the position.

The Japanese commander shouted: "Onboard!" ”

"Onboard!"

The Japanese soldiers also shouted together, and with one shout, almost a thousand people rushed frantically towards the position.

At this moment, a dense burst of gunfire rang out from the defensive positions.

"Sudden Sudden Sudden Sudden T

This firepower is fierce!

There was no shortage of weapons in the Northern Anti-Japanese Army, and all the reorganized armies were armed to the teeth, well-equipped, and each regiment had a heavy machine-gun company equipped with 12 Maxim heavy machine guns.

"Da Da Da--"

That's not all, each combat unit is equipped with a Czech light machine gun per squad, how fierce the fire is.

At a distance of 50 meters, the dense firepower hit the formation of the Japanese attack, and it fell one by one like cutting wheat.

In a few minutes, a third of the devil soldiers fell, the Japanese soldiers who were quick to dodge survived, and the soldiers who reacted slower died on the spot.

Under the blow of this kind of firepower, how can the Japanese army withstand it.

A brigade of devils came and went quickly, and retreated in an uproar.

The attack failed, and the commander of the 14th Division, Lieutenant General Matsuki Naoryō, did not blame his subordinates for the unfavorable battle, and the results may have been expected by him.

Lieutenant General Matsuki Naoliang's eyes showed a fierce light, and he shouted: "Yexi, the firepower is really fierce, this must be the seventh brigade of the Beida battalion."

Hehe, you can't run away.

Send a report to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, saying that the 14th Division of the Japanese Empire has bitten the 7th Brigade, the main force of the resistance, and this division must tear them apart and avenge the 20th Division. ”

The Japanese army had a clear understanding of the establishment and weaponry of the 7th Brigade of the Beidaying, and from this offensive and defensive battle, the division commander, Lieutenant General Naoliang Matsuki, roughly estimated the defensive strength and equipment of the position.

Therefore, he concluded that this must be a regimental strength of the 7th Brigade.

It is true that the position is the strength of a regiment of the 7th Brigade of the Northern Anti-Japanese Army, but this 7th Brigade is not the 7th Brigade of the other side, and it is impossible for the entire brigade to be pressed on it.

Feng Zhanhai's brigade's combat method was to block in echelons, and it had no intention of fighting to the death with the Japanese army at all.

The Japanese attack team had just retreated, and the regiment commander gave an order: "Retreat, all retreat." ”

With an uproar, the forces of a regiment were quickly withdrawn from the position, leaving only an empty position.

It can be said that the current Feng Zhanhai has definitely learned the lesson of the beginning, has changed his blind self-confidence at the beginning, and resolutely implemented the operational strategy of sealing the sky.

In the battle of Jilin, Feng Zhanhai believed that the Seventh Brigade could eliminate the main force of the Japanese Second Division, everyone was the Northeast Army, and the combat effectiveness was not much different.

The result was rather bad, and the losses of the army were very serious. The Northern Anti-Japanese Army is dead, and what he can do may not be able to do it himself. Feng Zhanhai woke up to the fact that he couldn't be more dead than Feng Tian.

This is still after he made a quick decision and evacuated in time, otherwise, he would not know how much of the original army could be left.

The Japanese army did have a higher technical and tactical level than the soldiers of the Northeast Army, and after a head-to-head confrontation with the Japanese army, Feng Zhanhai did admit that his army training was obviously inadequate.

If we want to change this situation in a short period of time, I am afraid that it will not be possible to achieve it in a short time.

This time, the first battle to block the enemy was handed over to Feng Zhanhai, and he must fight this battle well, at least the results should not be worse than other troops, and he must complete the purpose of luring the enemy into depth.

Comparatively speaking, Feng Zhanhai has an advantage over others, at least he has fought the Japanese army to the death, and is relatively familiar with the Japanese army's offensive strategy.
