Chapter 178: The Fall of the Two Master Regiments of the Battle of Wuhan (4)
The action of the army was very fast, when Han Yunhua's phone call was just over, the landing battle of the 106th Division began, Jiang Yunshan knew that a regiment of less than 3,000 people could not defend all the shores of the lake, but Jiang Yunshan knew that there were several places that were more dangerous and very conducive to defense, and the army must occupy these places if it wanted to arrange troops in a stable formation.
It didn't take much effort to land, which made Matsuura Junrokuro very strange, but when Matsuura Junrokuro took a little look at the terrain of Ximiao Village, he was relieved that this place was not conducive to blocking at all, and the Chinese army could only make futile efforts to stop his division here. However, as soon as they came ashore, the Chinese army could use a few mountain beams not far away to contain the advance of the 106th Division, which was a thorny problem.
However, the furious Matsuura Junrokuro still decided to break through with all his might, he spread out the military map of 1/50,000 and looked at it, and muttered: "The map made by the Shina army is really poor, compared to the Great Empire, and even the map of his own country is not well formulated." β
After the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression began, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party fought a stubborn battle with the Japanese army, during which both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party discovered an extremely serious situation, that is, the military map in the hands of the Japanese army was far more detailed than the national map drawn up by the National Political Axe Organization.
In these five theaters subdivided by the national political axe, there are captured military maps drawn by the army, and that level of detail directly makes the high-level leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party chill their backs, and even the mountain has a few paths, a few villages, a few rivers, how deep the river is, and whether people can wade through it.
Take a military map of the Ninth War Zone that Han Yunhua's department has just captured, and even a little-known sheep intestine trail in Hunan can be found in the map, "The map of China drawn by the army is so precise, detailed, accurate, and clear, with a hill, a stream, a village, a paddy field, a path, a temple, and a forest...... It's all clearly drawn on the picture, and it's thrilling and creepy to see!
With the map, the army knew the terrain of our country well, and drove straight into the courtyard of his house. These maps were drawn before the Sino-Japanese War and were not completed until the thirties. Even Han Yunhua, a military talent from later generations, has to admit that the map of China drawn by the Yue Army is indeed very detailed, although it is much worse than the new version of the map made by later generations by borrowing the latest satellite reconnaissance means to conform to the current situation of our country, but it is much better than the batch of maps drawn by the national political axe, and it is no wonder that Matsuura Junrokuro does not look down on the map drawn by the national political axe.
Han Yunhua once did a certain amount of research on China's War of Resistance against China, and also discussed with his classmates at the Amazon International Military Academy, and made a detailed discussion on the reasons why he was able to show such a strong position in the war of aggression against China, and the result was that during the war of aggression against China, there were five treasures: excellent equipment, excellent soldiers, detailed maps, a large number of spies, and fanatical people.
After returning to China, Han Yunhua has also seen many captured maps of China drawn by the army in many memorial halls, and the most detailed has reached one in 30,000, that is to say, one centimeter on the map represents the actual distance of more than 3,000 meters.
After coming to this era, Han Yunhua has seen hundreds of maps of the army, including not only land maps, but also sea maps, and even maps of China's inland provinces.
During the Anti-Japanese War, due to the restrictions on the provision of maps by the Kuomintang to the Eighth Route Army and other troops, and the maps drawn in China were far less sophisticated than the maps of the Yue Army, therefore, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, most of the operational maps used by the army led by [***] were captured from the hands of the Yue Kou. Every time you defeat the devils in battle, the first thing is to seize their radio station, then to search their map, and then to seize weapons and ammunition. During the Battle of Saibei, Han Yunhua did not occupy the provincial capital city of Suiyuan, Guisui, which is now Hohhot, and Han Yunhua's department found a map library of the Yue Army in Guisui City, which preserved a large number of maps. The captured military map is very extensive and can cover the entire territory of China; The number is also very large, and almost every regiment can be accompanied by a complete map of China.
However, in some places, the military is still not as convenient as ours, for example, in some remote mountainous areas in the hinterland of the mainland, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, reconnaissance satellites had not yet been invented, and the high-altitude photography technology of airplanes was also very naΓ―ve. Although the army sent a large number of spies to China, and at the same time bribed a large number of Han anniversaries, spied into all corners of the world, traveled all over China, collected information, and stole intelligence. Of course, there were many unknown things that happened during this period, such as Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji, who is now the commander of the 11th Army, stealing the military map of the warlord Sun Chuanfang and disguising himself as an old farmer to escape.
However, due to the limited human and financial resources, as well as China's hostility to Yueben in modern times, the maps of some areas had to be drawn by the national political axe. This is also the fact that although Matsuura Junrokuro himself held the military map issued by the army headquarters in his hand, he also referred to the map captured from [***].
Junrokuro Matsuura pointed to the inferior map of China in his eyes and said: "You see, this is where we are now, although the terrain is not flat, but there are not too many strategic points, so after we defeat the opposing Shina army, we must occupy this place (Dean) in the shortest possible time, and then we will use this place as a springboard to attack this place (Jiujiang), and then Your Excellency Okamura will have troops support us by land and water." Now we still have four infantry wings in our hands, except for the first brigade of the 147th Wing that stayed in Duchang County, the other troops have all crossed Poyang Lake, and there are more than 100,000 people in the Second Corps under the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters of the National Axe of China opposite us, but there are not many people who really have combat effectiveness, so our main task now is to cut off the Nanxun line, occupy the three counties of De'an, Yongxiu, and Xingzi, and hold here before reinforcements arrive. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to entrust you with the glorious task of building a greater East Asia co-prosperity sphere for the imperial hegemony of this empire and the great emperor! β
"Long live the Empire"
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor"
After a burst of excited and fanatical shouts, Junrokuro Matsuura said loudly again: "It has been ascertained that the enemy in front of me is the 66th Army of the National Axe of China, and everyone is familiar with this branch of the 66th Army, which is composed of two divisions, the 159th and 16th O Divisions, which participated in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing. Chen Ji, commander of the 159th Division; Hua Zhenzhong, commander of the 160th Division. Originally, the combat effectiveness of this army was not bad, and there were few deserters, but after the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, this army suffered heavy losses, and was wiped out by the elite of the Imperial Army by two-thirds, and it was lucky to escape from Nanjing. At present, the combat effectiveness of the 66th Army is not as good as that of an infantry wing of our division, and although it occupies a certain favorable position, I believe that you will be able to defeat this army within two hours. β
The chief of staff of the 106th Division, Yoshiro Akiyama, stood up and said: "Now I give you the operational order for this battle: the 111th Infantry Brigade will attack north from here, and after taking Tuantouling, counterattack De'an County. The 136th Infantry Brigade attacked south from here, and was sure to take Yongxiu County within a week. The troops directly under the division were led by His Excellency the division commander to attack De'an and besiege De'an City together with the 111 Brigade. β
The attack of the Japanese army was very sharp, and the beachhead built by dozens of heavy machine guns was very powerful. Fortunately, Jiang Spruce's department had already prepared, otherwise these dozens of Type 92 heavy machine guns alone would be enough to drink a pot. At the same time, the artillery wing of the 106th Division also began to launch the first round of test firing at the positions of the first regiment, and more than a dozen shells fell on the positions of the first regiment, blowing up huge fire clusters.
At the same time that the army launched an attack, a regiment of 300 light and heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, and in order to make up for the numerical disadvantage, Han Yunhua added a large number of weapons and equipment to the troops, mainly light and heavy machine guns that were easy to carry and had strong firepower, as well as a small number of submachine guns. Anyway, Chen Cheng had already promised on behalf of the Nationalist Axe that all the consumption of Han Yunhua's department during the Battle of Wuhan would be reimbursed by the Nationalist Axe, and the spoils obtained would also belong to Han Yunhua's department.
Han Yunhua's department, which has a long-term meal ticket, is of course not welcome, and Han Yunhua has equipped more than 1,500 light and heavy machine guns with a total of more than 16,000 troops, not including an antiaircraft machine gun regiment equipped with 109 antiaircraft machine guns removed from the warships. You must know that even a first-class division of the Chinese army is equipped with only about 400 machine guns, 359 to be exact, and a special division like the 106th Division is only about 280. At present, a regiment under Han Yunhua's command is equipped with more than 300 units, and this kind of firepower is almost equivalent to a division of the army.
Although this has brought huge pressure to logistics, the amount of weapons and ammunition that Han Yunhua seized from the warships of the Yue Army is huge, and he doesn't want to hand over this batch of ammunition to the national political axe, so he can only vent these things on the Yue Army.
In Jiang Spruce's words, I am excited when I think about it, a regiment is equipped with more than 300 machine guns, and what about the Central Army of the Kuomintang, if you don't believe it, let's compare and see.
As soon as the fire was exchanged, the army suffered a big loss, and after 10 minutes of firing, dozens of light and heavy machine guns were a group of opponents; because the positions of the two sides were not far apart, they were not out of the range of the machine guns, and as soon as the fire was fired, the light machine guns of the Yue army were dumbed down by more than a dozen of them, and several of the heavy machine guns were also damaged. What frightened the Yue army the most was that their troops were originally out of the range of machine guns, but when a gunshot rang out, a group of soldiers who were hiding more than 500 meters behind the position suddenly fell to the ground and were killed without even screaming. The number of soldiers with a poor sense of prevention is small, less than 50, but none of them are alive, and the wounds are all terrifying big blood holes. Things like arms and legs were directly knocked off, and such a terrible wound didn't even have a chance to be rescued.
