Chapter 178: The Fall of the Two Master Regiments of the Battle of Wuhan (4)

The Japanese army moved quickly, 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, which were very conducive to defense, and the Japanese army must occupy these places if they wanted to arrange their troops safely.

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, far worse than the Great Japanese Empire, and even the map of his own country is not well formulated." ”

After the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression began, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party fought a tenacious battle with the Japanese army through hardships, and during this period, 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 organized by the Nationalist Government.

In the five theaters subdivided by the Nationalist Government, there were captured military maps drawn by the Japanese army, and that level of detail directly sent chills down the backs of the senior leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and even the mountain had a few paths, a few villages, a few rivers, how deep the river was, and whether people could 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 Japanese 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...... They are all clearly drawn on the map, and it is thrilling and creepy to see.

With the map, the Japanese army knew the terrain of our country well, and drove straight into their own yard. 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, had to admit that the map of China drawn by the Japanese army was indeed very detailed, although it was 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 was much better than the batch of maps drawn by the Nationalist Government, and it was no wonder that Junrokuro Matsuura did not look down on the maps drawn by the Nationalist Government.

Han Yunhua once did a certain amount of research on China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and also discussed with his Japanese classmates at the Amazon International Military Academy, and made a detailed discussion on the reasons why Japan was so strong in the war of aggression against China, and the result was that the Japanese army had five treasures during the war of aggression against China: 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 Japanese soldiers in many memorial halls to draw maps of China, the most detailed has reached 1/30,000, that is to say, a centimeter on the map represents the actual distance of more than 3,000 meters, later generations can still borrow the latest satellite reconnaissance means to draw maps, but now the Japanese army can draw such an accurate map with manpower, I have to say that the Japanese army's wolf ambition is indeed deliberate.

After coming to this era, Han Yunhua has seen as many as 100 maps of the Japanese 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 Kuomintang's restrictions on the provision of maps by the Eighth Route Army and other troops, and the maps drawn in China were far less sophisticated than the maps of the Japanese army, therefore, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, most of the operational maps used by the army led by the first were captured from the Japanese invaders. Every time the Japanese devils were defeated in battle, the first thing was to seize their radio station, then to search their map, and the second thing was 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 Japanese army in Guisui City, which kept a large number of maps. The captured Japanese military map was so extensive that it could 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 Japanese army is still not as convenient as us, for example, in some remote mountainous areas in the hinterland of the mainland, during the Anti-Japanese War, reconnaissance satellites had not yet been invented, and the high-altitude photography technology of aircraft was also very naΓ―ve. Although the Japanese army sent a large number of spies to China, and at the same time bribed a large number of traitors, spied all over the land of China, collected information, and stole intelligence, year after year, in order to "accomplish great things." 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 limited human and financial resources, as well as China's hostility to Japan in modern times, the Japanese army had to use the Nationalist government to draw maps of some areas. This is also the fact that although Junrokuro Matsuura himself holds the military map issued by the Japanese Army Headquarters, he also refers 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 left in Duchang County, the other troops have all crossed the Poyang Lake, and there are more than 100,000 people in the second corps under the Wuhan Garrison Command of the National Government 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 the reinforcements arrive. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to entrust you with the glorious task of the Imperial Empire of Japan and the construction of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, long live the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor."

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor"

After a burst of excited and frenzied shouts, Matsuura Junrokuro said loudly again: "It has been ascertained that the enemy I face is the 66th Army of the National Government of China, and this branch of the National Government is no stranger to everyone, and this 66th Army of China is composed of two divisions, the 159th and 16th O Divisions, and the army 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 Chinese 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 two-thirds of the elite of our Imperial Japanese Army, and it escaped from Nanjing by luck. 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. ”

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. ”

The Japanese attack was 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 as the Japanese army launched the 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 inferiority, 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 promised on behalf of the Nationalist Government that all the consumption of Han Yunhua's troops during the Battle of Wuhan would be reimbursed by the Nationalist Government, and the spoils obtained would also belong to Han Yunhua's troops.

Han Yunhua's department, which has a long-term meal ticket, is of course not welcome, and Han Yunhua has equipped a total of more than 1,500 light and heavy machine guns for a troop of more than 16,000 people, not including an antiaircraft machine gun regiment equipped with 109 anti-aircraft machine guns removed from Japanese warships. You must know that even a first-class division of the Japanese 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 Japanese army.

Although this brought huge pressure to logistics, the amount of weapons and ammunition that Han Yunhua captured from the Japanese warship was huge, and he didn't want to hand over this batch of ammunition to the national government, so he could only vent these things on the Japanese 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 Japanese army suffered a small loss, and after ten minutes of shooting, dozens of light and heavy machine guns were a group of opponents, and 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 they opened fire, the Japanese light machine guns were dumbed down by more than a dozen pieces, and several heavy machine guns were also damaged. What frightened the Japanese most was that their troops were originally out of the range of machine guns, but when a gunshot rang out, a group of soldiers 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.
