Chapter 575: Suppressing the Japanese Rebellion
Four T25 tanks suddenly appeared in Mizu, which immediately disrupted the tactical deployment of the Japanese Kajimoto division. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The tank was an almost invincible war machine for the Japanese army, so when the Japanese saw the tanks of the Chinese Imperial Army appear in front of their eyes, they were instantly frightened.
"Bastard! How did these iron shells end up here? ”
Kajimoto watched the four T25 tanks go on a rampage, crushing the Japanese soldiers into meat sauce one by one, and he gritted his teeth in anger and screamed.
The Japanese tried to destroy these four tanks by various means, but unfortunately even if they blew up the dan with human flesh and died together, they would not be able to get close at all, because next to each T25 tank, there were several combat vehicles to protect it, and there were infantry to cooperate in the battle, killing every Japanese soldier who tried to get close to the tank.
Just as Kajimoto was worried about dealing with four tanks of the Imperial Chinese Army, several shells landed near him and exploded, as powerful as a 155mm medium howitzer, and a huge wave of air blasted up sand and gravel in the air.
Kajimoto was almost swept away by the air waves, and he calmed down and exclaimed, "What's the matter? Did the artillery of the Chinese Empire arrive? ”
If the artillery of the Chinese Imperial Army arrived here, then Kajimoto simply did not fight any more, he knew too well how ferocious the artillery fire of the Chinese Imperial Army was, and when he fought side by side with the Chinese Imperial Army in the past, he witnessed how the artillery division of the Chinese Imperial Army tortured and killed the government troops who knew it, and fired volleys at every turn, throwing shells without money, until the Japanese positions were leveled, the rivers were blown up, the rivers were evaporated, the mountains were flattened, and the trees were all turned into black charcoal.
"Report to the general, it should not be an artillery unit directly under the Chinese Imperial Army, it seems to be a vehicle-mounted self-propelled artillery! You see, there's one at three o'clock. ”
Under the guidance of the adjutant, Kajimoto looked up and saw a scene that surprised him.
I saw a motor vehicle with a similar structure to a combat vehicle, not carrying a heavy machine gun, but a large-caliber gun, which was firing on its own.
What the hell is this Nima?
A group of grass and mud horses galloped past in Kajimoto's heart, and he was shocked not to want it.
This was Kajimoto's first sighting of self-propelled artillery of the Imperial Chinese Army, which had not previously demonstrated such advanced weaponry on the battlefield in Japan. To deal with small Japan, it seems that there is no need for too complex and advanced weapons and equipment.
However, with the end of the World War, there were fewer and fewer opportunities for the Chinese Empire to test weapons in combat, so the Japanese battlefield became a place for actual combat testing of new weapons.
This time, King Shin was anxious to suppress the rebellion of the Japanese army in Sendai Lunma, but the transportation of heavy artillery weapons systems was quite troublesome, and the speed of the trucks could not move as fast as the chariots. It happened that the Beiyang Arsenal sent a batch of the latest models, a total of 36 155-mm self-propelled guns, to the Japanese battlefield for testing, and King Shin directly sent this self-propelled artillery regiment to participate in military operations.
Thirty-six 155-mm self-propelled artillery fighting vehicles maneuvered back and forth on the battlefield, where there were Japanese heavy fire positions, they would be sent to wherever they were, with high mobility, quickly deployed on the battlefield, and before the Japanese army could react, they concentrated fire and fired a salvo to kill the Japanese heavy fire positions one after another.
Boom!
Boom!
After a volley of concentrated fire, another Japanese heavy machine gun company position was razed to the ground.
Kajimoto trembled with anger, he didn't even have time to feel that the Chinese Empire had invented another big killer weapon for war support firepower, he already understood that Mi Hen couldn't hold it, and it was only a matter of time before it was broken by the Chinese Imperial Army.
If you lose it, you will be shot, and no one wants to die by themselves, and Kajimoto is the same.
Originally, he was not optimistic about Lunma's rebellion, he didn't think that with today's Japanese national strength and hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, he could defeat the powerful Chinese Empire, and there was no way to rebel with Lunma before, but now he found that Lunma was afraid of defeat, and even might be surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese Imperial Army, so Lunma's fate would be very tragic.
Not every Japanese is loyal to the emperor, and not every Japanese is so backbone, Kajimoto is exactly the grass on the wall, so he immediately made a choice.
"Surrender!"
"We surrender!"
"We're going to pay for it!"
……
Kajimoto ordered surrender, so the Japanese troops ceased fire and hung white flags on their positions.
The officers and men of the Chinese Empire were having a good time, especially the tank and tank units, which were completely one-sided in slaughtering the Japanese army. At this moment, I suddenly found that the Japanese army had surrendered with a white flag, and there was still some unfinished business.
The surrender of Kajimoto's division also saved the Chinese Imperial Army a lot of trouble, and if Kajimoto's division continued to resist, it was estimated that it would delay the Chinese Imperial Army for at least half an hour to an hour before it could occupy Mizu.
Don't underestimate this half an hour to an hour, which is enough to affect the whole picture.
Kajimoto became a hero, and even Shin Wang directly hung up the phone to the enemy command post in front of Yoshizu, praised Kajimoto, and said that when Kajimoto returned to Edo, he would give him a good errand.
Kajimoto was overjoyed and hurriedly told him what he knew about General Lunma's withdrawal plan and the deployment of other Japanese troops at the foot of Mt. Zao.
Even at the request of the Chinese Imperial Army, Kajimoto volunteered to lead the way.
As a result, the Chinese Imperial Army disguised itself as a Japanese army, and under the leadership of Kajimoto, pretended to be a defeated Japanese army, and quickly approached the Japanese base camp.
Lunma was not at ease with Kajimoto, and when he learned that Kajimoto was about to be unable to hold it, he began to deploy troops behind Mizumi and actively build fortifications, trying to delay the advance of the Chinese Imperial Army and buy time for the main force to withdraw from Mt. Zao.
However, what Lunma never expected was that Kajimoto surrendered directly, and personally led the way, leading the Chinese Imperial Army directly to the Japanese position behind Mizu.
"It turned out to be General Kajimoto, General Lunma ordered you to hold on to the rice and not retreat!"
The Japanese commander in the rear position of the rice soya said to Kajimoto, who had fled in embarrassment, and the contempt on his face was silent.
"Yaga! Hundreds of thousands of Chinese Imperial troops are coming, and I only have the strength of a division, can I hold it? ”
Kajimoto was deceived and intimidated, and immediately frightened the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield.
Just when they were blindfolded, the soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Army, disguised as Japanese soldiers, quickly seized the opportunity, suddenly attacked, and killed the Japanese commander on the position, the Japanese army was in chaos, and the Chinese Imperial Army took the opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop.
Lunma never dreamed that his planned second line of defense could delay the attack of the Chinese Imperial Army for at least a few hours, only to collapse in less than ten minutes.
At this point, the rear of the Japanese army was completely opened, as if it were undefended, and the Chinese Imperial Army drove straight in, and the chariot troops attacked the Japanese troops who were still on the march like a torrent of embankments.
The chariots roared by, the heavy machine guns spewed tongues of fire, and wherever they passed, the Japanese soldiers fell one by one, bleeding like rivers, and countless dead and wounded.
Outside Nanyang City, Lunma, who had just found the path, didn't wait to be happy, but after hearing the news that the Chinese Imperial Army had broken through Mi Fen and was killing all the way in the direction of Nanyang, his face was instantly full of confusion.
It took a long time for Lunma to come back to his senses.
"Kajimoto, you dare to commit treason to the enemy! This bastard! I'm going to kill you! ”
Lunma instantly felt as if the sky was about to fall, because the successive losses of Mi Fen and the second line of defense meant that his rear had been wide open, and the chariot troops of the Chinese Imperial Army drove straight in.
There was an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the rear, and the Japanese army fell into chaos in an instant, which would be the most fatal blow.
But he didn't have time to complain at all, because it was the chariot unit of the Chinese Imperial Army that was killed, and it was extremely fast.
In front of Lunma was the question of how many troops could be saved, and the Japanese troops who were fighting with the Chinese Imperial Army under Nanyang City could not withdraw. The rear troops were slaughtered by the chariot units of the Chinese Imperial Army, and they were bitten, and they could not evacuate, because the more they ran, the faster they died.
The only one who could quickly break away was the Third Division of the descendant line around Lunma, so he did not hesitate to give the order to retreat, and followed the small mountain road he had just found to bypass Nanyang and escape from Zao Mountain.
However, Li Yuanhong, who was in Nanyang City, was unwilling to let the Japanese army escape, and even if he ran away, he would be unhappy.
In the past few days, they have been besieged by the Japanese army, Li Yuanhong and his officers and soldiers in the 16 towns have been holding back the fire in their stomachs, and many brothers have died on Zao Mountain, and this revenge must be avenged.
When Li Yuanhong discovered that a Japanese army was trying to escape from a mountain road next to Mt. Zao trying to bypass Nanyang, he immediately and decisively ordered a unit to be sent to intercept it.
At this time, the other departments of the Sixteen Towns have been transferred from Zao Mountain to Nanyang, the original size of 25,000 people, at this moment the wounded soldiers accounted for half, Li Yuanhong's hands of the capable soldiers are basically pressed on the Nanyang battlefield, can be drawn out to intercept the Japanese army escape almost no troops.
Under these circumstances, Li Yuanhong had no choice but to send out his guard company.
This is a small but capable armed force, and the soldiers are the best of the best, with special operations capabilities.
Li Yuanhong personally led the team, because he wanted to meet the commander of the Japanese army for a while, and if he didn't kill Lunma himself, Li Yuanhong would have a thorn in his heart for the rest of his life.
"Sniper, remember for a while that as long as you find the Japanese commander Lunma, you don't have to wait for my order to kill him directly!"
"Yes!"
Li Yuanhong led the guard company to the northeast of Nanyang at the fastest speed, preempting a dangerous position before the Japanese army.
"Demoman!"
"Here!"
"Go to the opposite cliff to bury bombs*, and once the Japanese army arrives, directly blow up the mountain and close the road!"
"Yes!"
"Machine gunner, immediately seize the high ground, wait for my order, give me a hard shot!"
"Yes!"
"Mortars carefully conceal and prepare fire support!"
"Yes!"
"The others each look for a favorable firing position and prepare for battle!"
A series of orders were given, Li Yuanhong took out his matching gun, hid behind a rock, and stared at the mountain path.
In a short time, the vanguard of the Japanese army had already arrived at a trot.
It can be seen that the Japanese army is very anxious and marches quickly.
However, the Japanese army was not stupid, and the troops in the front were marching rapidly, while shooting at the hills on both sides to conduct fire reconnaissance.
"Watch for secrecy!"
Li Yuanhong gave the order, and all the officers and men of the guard company quickly hid, careful not to be discovered by the enemy, and waited for the battle order.
It was only after the Japanese fire reconnaissance that the group re-entered the combat position.
The Japanese army did not carry heavy equipment, which was consistent with Li Yuanhong's judgment, after all, the mountain path, heavy equipment was inconvenient to carry, and the Japanese army was attacked by the enemy on their backs, and at this moment I am afraid that they only want to flee for their lives.
When the Japanese forward troops arrived at the mountain pass, Li Yuanhong gave the order, and the demoman immediately detonated the blast.
Boom!
A series of loud noises and explosions damaged the structure of the mountain, and a large number of boulders collapsed and fell down from the mountain, causing a large number of Japanese casualties.
"Hit!"
Li Yuanhong took the lead in attacking, and in an instant, gunfire erupted, and dense bullets rained down on the Japanese army.
The sudden change made the already frightened Japanese army like a frightened bird, and for a while they were holding their heads and running into a mess.
When Lunma heard the gunshots, his heart sank, and he knew that what he feared most had happened, that there was an ambush by the Chinese Imperial Army here, which meant that his plan to escape was blocked.
This is the rhythm of killing yourself!
Lunma had already realized that the Chinese Imperial Army was planning to encircle and annihilate him, so he could only make a desperate bet and break through from here with all his might.
"General, the road ahead is blocked, we can't get through!"
"Yaga!"
Lunma slapped the reporter and said angrily: "If the road is blocked, dig it up for me!" Tell the soldiers that if they still want to go home alive, the only way out is ahead! ”
"Hayi!"
Like trapped beasts, the Japanese army burst out with ferocity and immediately launched a fierce attack on the Li Yuanhong guard company on the hills on both sides.
Lunma desperately wanted to rush out, but Li Yuanhong would not give way even if he died, and the battle between the two sides instantly became white-hot.
"Guerrilla gives!"
Boom!
A Japanese officer had just drawn his command knife and shouted to charge, only to be shot in the head by a sniper.
"Guerrilla gives!"
Boom!
Another Japanese adjutant temporarily took over the command, but was killed as soon as he finished shouting.
The snipers of the Chinese Imperial Army were unpredictable, so that the Japanese officers were shot one after another, and for a time or the Japanese officers were terrified, hiding in the horns and commanding the battle.
The impact on the morale of the Japanese army was enormous!
The Japanese army launched a charge on the hills on both sides, and there were heavy machine guns of the Chinese Imperial Army at each commanding height on the top of the mountain, which were condescending, and the bullets were dense like rain, killing the corpses of the Japanese soldiers all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river.
Li Yuanhong has been searching for the location of Lunma, but unfortunately Lunma is very cunning and has been hiding in the shadows to command, not giving Li Yuanhong a chance to shoot his head.
However, the king of Hades let you die on the third watch, so he can keep you until the fifth watch.
Li Yuanhong is determined to kill Lunma, otherwise he will be unhappy for the rest of his life, so Li Yuanhong has been searching for Lunma's location.
And Lenma is commanding in the rear, and it is impossible for him to be honest and immobile all the time, and he can never always be on high alert, and there are always times when he is negligent.
Finally, Lunma watched that the battle of the Japanese army in front of him had not improved, and subconsciously took a step forward, only to reveal half of his head from the dead end.
At this moment, the snipers who had been searching for Lunma opened fire one after another.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three sniper rifles shot Lunma's head from three directions at the same time, instantly knocking his head to pieces.
Poof!
Lunma's corpse falls to the ground!
With Lunma's death, the Japanese army was instantly plunged into great chaos.
At this time, more than a dozen chariots of the Chinese Imperial Army rushed from the rear of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army was attacked by the enemy on their backs, seeing that the resistance was useless and there was no commander-in-chief to command, they knelt down and surrendered.
The Battle of Mt. Zao, which lasted for nearly a week, came to an end, with the final victory of the Chinese Imperial Army and the annihilation of more than 100,000 Japanese troops.
