Section 3 Battle X
Eight squares! Bastard! Fine" and annoyance make sense. \\。 Qb(5).cOM\\The capture of Tangji Mountain and Ding Mubu decided the success or failure of Lashio's roundabout, and the jungle road was difficult. The division gave up heavy artillery, and the food and ammunition could only be carried by the soldiers, and there were also pack horses that were temporarily recruited, which could only meet the needs of peacetime operations.
Under the leadership of the Deqin party. The Japanese army bypassed the checkpoints and blocking positions set up by the New 28th Division along the way, and secretly and suddenly launched an attack on Tangji and Taunggyisan, and the attack began with surprisingly smooth results. The squadron is like a frightened bird. Many positions were won without a fight, and Hosokawa even thought that it would not be long before he could take Tangyoshi.
But as time went on, the resistance of the squadron became more and more tenacious, and most of the positions in Taunggyisan were occupied by the Japanese army, but the most critical main peak was repeatedly attacked, and the attack on the city by the Yagi brigade was also repulsed.
Hosokawa knew that time was not on his side. After the Chinese reacted, it was bound to be more difficult to conquer Tangji. Hosokawa lost his temper and decided to go on the offensive. It can only continue to attack.
"Yagi-kun, I'll add a squadron, you must attack Tangji." Yagi held his chest up and was ordered, and Hosokawa turned to Aramoto again: "Aramoto-kun, Dongzhishan will ask you." ”
Hosokawa was about to give orders to the next when an officer ran to report, "Report, there is a fire in the city." ”
Hosokawa was overjoyed in his heart, and then his face changed greatly, and he grabbed a few steps to a high place, grabbed a telescope and observed the city. The officers followed him, and after watching the meeting, Yagi hesitated and said, "It seems to be in the direction of the warehouse." The facilities in Tangji Castle have long been memorized in the minds of every Japanese soldier, Hosokawa has long seen that the place where the fire started is a warehouse, his face is gloomy, and he turned to the officers and said sharply: "The people of China are burning the warehouse, our action must be accelerated, and tell the soldiers that the holy war has reached a critical moment." His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for news of our victory! The Imperial Japanese Army is invincible! ”
"Hello!" The officers replied immediately, and at this moment, there was a violent explosion in the city, and the explosion continued continuously, Hosokawa hurriedly turned around, grabbed the binoculars and looked, and saw a huge dark cloud rising in the city, and this dark cloud was still expanding.
Hosokawa's face turned snow-white, he knew that this was the squadron destroying the weapons and ammunition in the warehouse, if he didn't care about the things that were burned, now his heart was filled with anger, the main purpose of conquering Tangji was to obtain these weapons, ammunition and food, and now that the squadron had destroyed these materials, even if Tangji was conquered, the purpose of this battle would be defeated.
"Slightly!" Fine" cut the small tree next to him in two, and roared: "Attack immediately!" Take down Zhuoji! ”
As soon as Tang Ji discovered the Japanese army, He Wei understood that the original inference was at least eighty percent true. Seeing that it was difficult to repel the Japanese attack, he ordered to destroy all the materials in the warehouse immediately, Liu Bolong was still unwilling, and when they were arguing, Zhuang Jihua's telegram arrived, with only one content, immediately destroy all the materials.
Liu Bolong had to order all the warehouses to be opened, and send troops to take as many weapons and ammunition as possible from them, and if they couldn't take them, they would all be destroyed. There are nearly 100 cannons alone. Liu Bolong looked at these cannons and his heart jumped in pain, and he called the artillery commander and asked him to pull as much as possible, and let the transporters pull grenades, bullets, and carbines to the front and rear, and almost all the troops in the city were reequipped, but fortunately, the operation of this carbine was not complicated; Regimental mortars almost doubled.
But even so, only one of the three large warehouses was emptied.
After destroying a warehouse, He Wei stopped him again and asked people to set up cannons outside the warehouse. Then they began to bombard the Japanese positions with "wounded howitzers" and "cannons" force mortars, and shells rained down. Without a break, Yagi's attack failed just now. Under such heavy artillery fire, the Japanese troops were forced to retreat.
The fierce artillery bombardment bought time for the squadron, and the squadron gradually woke up from the initial chaos, and the fleeing soldiers, led by the officer, returned to their positions, but when Dongzhi Mountain had been lost, all the officers and soldiers below Bao Guodong were killed.
He Wei ordered all the officers and soldiers of the artillery regiment to be gathered, and hundreds of black-pressed soldiers stood in the square. His face was gloomy: "You are the shame of Bao Tuan".
As soon as he opened his mouth, all the officers and men of the Bao regiment were frightened, and many of them secretly looked around, and the surroundings were firmly controlled by the guard company, and there were machine guns on the commanding heights, exuding a cold air.
"Commander Bao Guodong and hundreds of soldiers died in Taunggyi Mountain, they are the glory of my new 28th Division! It is the pride of my new 28th Division! And you, you are not worthy to be his brothers! Not worthy of his robes! You, do you have the face to go back to China to see your fathers and fellow villagers in your hometown! ”
The faces of all the officers and soldiers showed a look of shame, and He Wei tried to suppress the killing intent in his heart, and according to his habit, these deserters would all be shot.
He was furious: "The new 28th Division has no retreat order!" According to military discipline, you should all have two, and second, you should think that the law does not blame the public. There is no law on the battlefield that does not hold the public accountable"...... muscle
The officers and soldiers below suddenly turned earthy, and their legs trembled. More people were looking at the muzzles of the black holes around them, sweating like rain in the smoke of gunpowder.
"I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins!" He Wei shouted: "Immediately counterattack Dongzhi Mountain!" Take your ground back! I've taken it back, and I'll award it to you! If you can't get it back, you will be punished for two crimes! The divisional artillery regiment will support you".
"Kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" Shi Shaoxian stood up and raised the concave in his hand and roared.
"Kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!"
"Kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!"
As soon as the deserters saw that they could still live, they immediately came to their senses and shouted one after another, and the roar in the square was like thunder, and their morale rose at once.
The shelling was still going on, but from the Japanese positions outside the city to Taunggyi, the green hill had now disappeared and turned into a flaming torch.
This group of deserters ran away, and He Wei rectified it on the spot and formed a reinforced battalion, with more than 1,000 people in the Bao regiment, and there were more than 600 here, half of whom abandoned their positions and fled.
However, He Wei's request was not carried out immediately, and after the troops were put in order, night had fallen. The counteroffensive was postponed until dawn. Liu Bolong sent the commander of the guard company, Jin Mingjun, to command this reinforced battalion.
To He Wei's surprise, in the early morning, a fierce gunfire suddenly sounded on Taunggyi Mountain. Immediately received a telegram from Zhuang Jihua that the special forces attacked Dongzhi Mountain and got in the way. He was ordered to immediately send troops to take over the defense.
As the head of the operations department, He Wei knew that there was such a special force, which was directly under Zhuang Jihua's orders, known as the army within the army, fighting alone and not having contact with any other troops. At this time, it suddenly popped up here. He suddenly captured the all-important Taunggyi Mountain, and he was overjoyed.
The sneak attack on Dongzhi Mountain was not Song Yunfei's plan, and after discovering the whereabouts of the Japanese army, he wanted to follow the Japanese army. looked for an opportunity to sneak attack the division headquarters of the 56th Division, but he received an order from Zhuang Jihua that Zhangji was in danger and asked him to poison Tangji immediately.
So he led his troops to the foot of Taunggyi Mountain overnight, and then decided to sneak attack Taunggyi Mountain, the Japanese army did not expect it at all, the attack came from behind, Song Yunfei personally led an assault team to climb from the cliff to the top, and Zhao Hanjie led the main force to touch up from the rear of the Japanese army. To say that the Japanese defense is still in place, Hosokawa expects the squadron to attack at night. So it was arranged both on the front and on the hill. But he never expected the attack to come from the rear. Song Yunfei and the others were discovered by the Japanese army after they touched the position, but at this time everything was already under Song Yunfei's control.
Hosokawa didn't know that he had lost the opportunity to conquer Tangji, this night was crucial for the new 28th Division, the chaos was stopped, the fleeing soldiers returned, the fleeing officers were executed by military law, and the morale of the army was lifted.
The war was like this, both sides were studying the tactics of their opponents, and the attack on Tangji caused different interpretations among the allied commanders, and Stilwell and Alexander, after studying the situation on the battlefield, came up with a new combat strategy.
"Zhuang" Stilwell was very satisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's authorization to command all the expeditionary forces in Lashio, and his voice returned to his original tone: "You see, the Japanese army is now divided into three routes, the eastern front, the western front, and the central route, and their commander has made a big mistake and given us a chance to break through. ”
Zhuang Jihua sneered, as if listening with interest, Alexander stood up and walked to the map: "Look. If we concentrate our forces on the Western Front to launch a counterattack. Annihilating the 55th Division and the 35th Division of the Japanese Army would turn the tide of the war. ”
Zhuang Jihua still didn't speak, he immediately read out the purpose of the British in his heart, and sure enough, Stilwell then said: "We use the New Eighth Army to block the Japanese army in the middle, let the new 28th Division block the Japanese army in Tangji, and the main force of the Kou Army Lixuan advances westward." Together with the British, annihilated the Japanese army on the Western Route between Ringanqiang and Chok Padang. ”
Annihilation of the Japanese army on the Western Road, it is very well said, I am afraid that the real purpose is to let our army cover the transfer of you British to India, Zhuang Jihua scolded in his heart.
"No, my opinion is the opposite" Zhuang Jihua did not want to entangle with them anymore: "I think that our army should not only not advance westward, but on the contrary, should immediately retreat to Lashio, according to the information I have received." The Japanese army attacking Tangji had at most one wing, and the 56th Division of the Japanese Army had already been inserted into Lashio. The correct arrangement was to block the main force of the Japanese army in the middle and the British to block the Japanese army on the west route, and the main force of our expeditionary force to quickly retreat to Lashio and annihilate the 56th Division, and then the British army held the Indo-Burmese border and our army held the Sino-Burmese border, so as to clamp down the Japanese army from both sides in the northwest and create conditions for a future counteroffensive. ”
As soon as Zhuang Jihua's words were finished, Stilwell's face changed, he slapped the table and stood up: "Zhuang, don't think about running away, as a soldier, what you should think about is to fight for victory."
