Chapter 541 Seven Days and Seven Nights 5

At Acheng Station, a military train entered the station. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After the info train came to a standstill, a large number of Japanese soldiers got off the train. Originally, the railway line reached Harbin all the way, but the Japanese army could not continue to move forward. If the military column is close to the Harbin area, it will be attacked at any time. In a carriage in the middle of the military column, Yuichi Hayina, commander of the 61st Division of the Japanese Army, was appointed commander of the Eastern Front by Okamura Ninji. At this time, Yuichi Wasedi stood in the train headquarters, looking at the military map and was silent. Yuichi Waseda is not a lot of old people, neither a conservative nor a young Zhuang faction, and this gentleman has always been known for his stability

"Report to the general, the commander of Gangcun has called, and I need our department to report the progress!" An operational staff officer reports. Yuichi Waseda looked away from the map and asked, "Where has Ohira Masagata arrived?" The chief of staff of the Japanese army pointed to the map and said: "General, the commander of the Daping Zhengfang Division, led the 231 Brigade and Logistics Wing to arrive here, and has already entered the attack position." The 291 Brigade has already followed. At present, the 2nd Border Garrison Brigade and the main force of the Mudanjiang Garrison Brigade are still on the way. ”

"Immediately send a report to the commander of Gangcun that our department has arrived at the attack position and request an attack!" Yuichi Waseda seemed to be impatient and full of desire to fight. Yuichi Waseda is 52 years old and has led his troops to guard the eastern border for three years. This gentleman is a tall man among the Japanese, about 175 cm tall, and has an elegant appearance. Not only is he fluent in Chinese, but he also has a good knowledge of Chinese history. However, the development of the war situation has reached the most dangerous juncture for the survival of the empire, and it is his bounden duty to be loyal to the empire as a soldier and to stain the battlefield with blood.

Okamura Ninji admired him very much, so by handing over the power of the supreme commander of the Eastern Front to him, he was full of confidence in him. "Report, Commander Gangcun is calling!" Yuichi Hayina glanced at the telegram and said: "Commander Gangcun has called to inform me that 10 enemy bombers entered Harbin Majiagou Airport this morning, and then a large number of transport planes arrived. Judging the strength of at least two brigades was reached. Commander Gangcun ordered our troops to put the main force into the attack position as soon as possible. ”

"Order, the 291st Brigade, the 293rd Brigade, and the Heavy Artillery Wing to speed up the pace and enter the attack position before dark. Ordered General Dahei Masafang to prevent enemy air attacks, especially artillery units to do a good job of concealment and protection! Yuichi Wasai took a few steps on the ground and said: "Order the train to continue westward, I will personally go to the front line to command!" He knew in his heart that if he could not break through the enemy's defense line tonight, the enemy's reinforcements would continue to support him during the day tomorrow.

After dark, the Japanese army launched an attack on three routes, centered on the railway line and spread out on both flanks. The 291st Brigade of the 61st Division of the Japanese Army was in the center, the 293rd Division of the Japanese Army was the right flank, and the 231st Brigade of the 68th Division was the left flank. The Japanese heavy artillery wing mainly supported the middle attack operation, and we avoided air raids, and the Japanese artillery fire was dispersed, but it could concentrate on a certain point. At first, the Japanese attack was not sharp, but tentative.

Yuichi Wasina was well versed in the strategy of not getting tired of deceit, so he strictly ordered all attacking troops not to invest too many troops at one time, and not to launch a group charge. It is required to discover the weaknesses of the enemy's defense during the offensive. When the enemy's weakness is exposed, launch a fierce attack, and strive to strike a must. The Japanese attack area was 15 kilometers long, which was extremely difficult for the defending side. Especially the offensive tactics of the Japanese army, you don't know where his main direction of attack is.

An hour after the battle broke out, in the headquarters of the Eastern Front, the chief of staff of the 1st Army was a little confused: "Commander, the Japanese attack is not sharp, it seems that there is no hurry, it seems that the Japanese army is playing tricks." Zhao Liang said: "Obviously, the Japanese commander is a veteran, and he is testing our weak points. Positions 12, 31, 35 and 47 are the heart of our central defence. Right wing. The Japanese army launched an attack on all fronts, and the number of troops invested was very limited, and it was indeed difficult to judge where the direction of the Japanese army's main attack was. ”“

"Last night, the Japanese army launched a tidal attack on the front line of Cao's shack, and it was wave after wave, it seems that the Japanese army has learned wisely." "Tell the 2nd, 4th, and 12th Brigades to reserve sufficient counterattack troops and to have the idea of active defense. Report the situation of the Japanese attack to the headquarters! "The Japanese suddenly changed their style of play, and the stormy attack was gone, which made the defending troops extremely uncomfortable."

A small station on the Eastern Railway Line, where Yuichi Wased's headquarters is located. Two hours passed, and the Japanese offensive did not pick up in the slightest. "General, the enemy's defense line is very strong, and it seems that it is difficult to find a flaw." "If we can find a flaw quickly, we don't deserve to be our opponent. The Chinese have a unique military ideology and advocate surprise and unpreparedness, and we must do the opposite. The left flank was ordered to intensify the attack to attract the attention of the enemy, and the special commando team was ordered to attack, outflanked by the right flank. ”

No matter how strong the defensive line was, there were holes, and Wasiichi found a gap in the junction between the northern front and the eastern front, so he asked the 293rd Brigade of the Northern Front to form a special commando team. The strength of the army is 500 people. In order to quickly assault into the enemy's defense line, these 500-man assault team, all lightly armed without heavy weapons, their task is to disrupt the right flank defense line and take advantage of the chaos to break through the right flank defense line in one fell swoop. The so-called special commando is a point of no return, and Yuichi Waseda has no intention of letting them come back alive.

In the headquarters of the city, since the Japanese army launched an attack, Su Yuyi was silent and seemed to be thinking about something. "Commander Su, Zhao Liang reported that the Japanese army suddenly launched a strong attack on the right flank, and it was difficult for the Japanese army to discover our flaws on the right flank?" "I don't think so, it seems that this Japanese commander is not simple, I am sure that this is a tactic of attacking the east and the west. The sudden intensification of the Japanese attack on the right flank was to attract our attention. ”

"Chief of Staff, what would happen if the Japanese army had a suicide attack force that infiltrated from the junction of the left flank and the northern front?" "If a Japanese army infiltrates the left flank, the Japanese attacking force will take the opportunity to launch a strong attack, and the left flank defense line is in danger. You judge that the Japanese will infiltrate from Area 52, where there is only a 2-kilometer gap and ravines, which are not at all suitable for the movement of large forces. “

"The purpose of the Japanese commander is to disrupt our defensive line and cause chaos to cooperate with a frontal breakthrough, so the number of troops dispatched will not be too many. If the Japanese choose to infiltrate from the junction of Area 52 and not expose the target, the number of troops will not exceed 500, which is a complete suicide attack. "Commander Su, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you should immediately notify Zhao Liang and the 3rd Airborne Brigade on the Northern Front to strengthen precautions."

"At present, Zhao Liang's defensive system is very perfect, try not to move. If the Japanese army really dispatches a commando, I am ready to let the Japanese army in and annihilate it in one fell swoop, and I will create the illusion that the Japanese attack was successful. Immediately ordered the commander of the 3rd Airborne Brigade, Meng Fei, to come to the headquarters quickly. When Chief of Staff Peng Xuelan called, Su Yu picked up another phone: "Is it Commander Mu?" I need a sniper detachment, 20 people. ”

Soon, Meng Fei hurried to the headquarters. "Commander Su, have a mission?" As soon as they met, Meng Fei asked excitedly. "Your sense of smell is sensitive, and I need you on an envoy mission. We analyzed the possibility that the Japanese army might infiltrate in the area of No. 52 on the left flank, so we should take special precautions. How many troops can you draw at your maximum? "6 companies!" "Very good, you lead your troops to set up an ambush in Area 49, and a sniper detachment assists your department." "Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

At about 9:30 p.m., dozens of trucks appeared in the Northeast 49 area. There is a small river running east-west, and the ambush site is on the south bank of the small river. When the soldiers got out of the car one after another, a sniper detachment leader in the dark reported: "Report to Brigade Commander Meng, the 8th sniper squad is coming to report, please instruct." "You choose the high ground, and the mission is to hunt down the Japanese machine gunners and officers!" "Understood!" The sniper squad leader was given the order to go.

At about 10:30, the Japanese commander Hayanaio ordered the central part to intensify the offensive, and at the same time ordered the 293rd Brigade on the right flank to prepare for a group attack. "General, it seems that the enemy forces are not aware of anything, and in another half an hour, the special commando team will attack." "Order the border garrison brigade to move closer to the 293 brigade, once the 293 brigade breaks through the enemy's defensive line, then follow up and expand the results!" Yuichi Wasina was full of confidence, who would have thought that he would meet an even more formidable opponent.

The frozen creek is covered with snow and is about 50 meters wide. Meng Fei had a submachine gun in front of him and looked at the other side of the river vigilantly. At this time, the sound of explosions in the southeast direction was incessant, and the firelight reflected half of the sky. "Brigade commander, there is a situation!" A subordinate reported. The Japanese army really sent a sneak attack force, and the commander really expected it like a god. Meng Fei secretly thought and signaled to hide and not let the Japanese army notice.

Several Japanese soldiers, dressed in white cloths, observed for a while on the other side of the river. Then the signal was given, and soon a large number of Japanese troops appeared on the other side of the river. The Japanese soldiers cautiously descended to the riverbed and stepped on the snow to meet them. Entering the 10-meter range and being close at hand, Meng Fei's submachine gun was the first to roar, and suddenly a dense rain of bullets swept towards the unprepared Japanese soldiers, and they saw the Japanese soldiers falling on the snow-covered ice in pieces.

At this time, the soldiers of the 293rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, who were preparing to charge, were already ready to fly. Gunshots and explosions were heard from behind the enemy lines, and the Japanese soldiers immediately felt like they had been beaten with blood. At the sound of an order, the Japanese began to bombard fiercely, and the charging soldiers entered a state of readiness.
