In the early morning of October 19, the Chinese troops on the periphery of Naiman began to advance in the direction of Naiman, while the artillery continued to shell the Japanese positions, giving the Japanese troops no time to breathe. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This time, Soichi Tsumura really saw the combat effectiveness of Ma Zheng's department, and with such fierce artillery fire, it was not comparable to any division of the Imperial Japanese Army.
At 8 o'clock, the two infantry divisions commanded by Ma Desheng arrived directly at the outer fortifications of Naiman, and another division was used as a reserve.
Subsequently, Ma Desheng gave the order to attack, and at the same time as the artillery attack, the tank troops opened the way, followed by the infantry that followed the tank troops, and the infantry and tanks coordinated to launch an attack on the outlying positions of the Japanese army.
Due to the small area of Naiman City and the weak fortifications of the city, Soichi Tomura put the main battlefield to block Ma Zheng's department outside Naiman City, especially the west gate and the north gate, and the three vertical and horizontal defense lines protected the entire Naiman City in the center.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
Looking at the fortifications and soldiers in the outer positions that were constantly being blown up, Tsumura Zong's face turned pale.
He really couldn't figure out why, in just a few years, the Chinese army not only had a formed artillery, but also such a large-scale tank unit, and its overall strength had increased several times, while the combat effectiveness of the Great Japanese Imperial Army was constantly declining.
"Report to Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the first line of defense at the West Gate was destroyed by the Shina army, Yamada Shaosa was killed in battle, and the Shina army is approaching the second line of defense!"
"Yaga, order Sasaki to go up in person, if there is another mistake in the second line of defense, let him apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Hay!"
This is definitely not good news for Soichi Tsumura, although the first line of defense of the West Gate is only arranged with an infantry squadron, but there are a large number of heavy weapons, I didn't expect to be broken by the army in less than half an hour, and the three lines of defense outside the city may not be able to stop it for even a day.
In addition, just now Tsumura Soichi saw it in the telescope, the Shina army only carried out two non-violent attacks, and defeated the imperial army on the first square line of the West Gate, shame, it is simply a great shame for the Japanese Imperial Army!
At noon, 120 fighters of the Japanese Second Flying Group covered more than 100 bombers to fly to the battlefield and attacked the Chinese outside Naiman City. The army carried out heavy bombardment.
After the troops on the front line were bombed by the Japanese army, Ma Zheng did not immediately order the two army aviation regiments in Chengde to take off for reinforcements, but asked the army to establish air defense positions on the ground to counterattack.
Ma Zheng is not a saint, and the big victories one after another in the past few years have transformed this major of the former republic into a real iron-blooded soldier. There is no tolerance for enemies in his world, only unforgettable hatred. If you give me a slap in the face, I will definitely pay you back, and I will repay you, and I will never be in arrears.
This time, the fighter brigade of the Army Aviation Brigade was almost wiped out, in addition to making Ma Zheng extremely shocked, but more angry, he wanted to avenge those pilots who died in battle, tooth for tooth and blood for blood!
But the strength of the Japanese air force is there, and it can't be fought hard, so Ma Zheng plans to let the army act as a bait, let these Japanese air forces fire on the ground troops, and wait for their fuel consumption and ammunition consumption to be about the same, and then let the army aviation regiment attack, and then it will definitely be shameful.
Although the reinforcement of the Japanese air force posed a certain threat to the troops on the Naiman front to a certain extent, the offensive of Ma Zheng's department still did not stop at all.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the first line of defense and the second line of defense at the north gate were destroyed one after another, forcing Soichi Tomura to transfer half of the reserve of the only infantry wing in his hand to reinforce the north gate.
At the same time, Soichi Tomura sent a report to the headquarters of the Ninth Division of Tongliao, requesting more troops.
After reading the detailed telegram sent by Soichi Tomura, Lieutenant General Kiichiro Higuchi was also quite surprised, although he knew that Ma Zheng's combat effectiveness was not bad, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.
You must know that there are more than 20,000 Japanese puppet troops on the Naiman front, and there are two infantry wings alone, plus an artillery wing and a tank brigade, and its strength should not be underestimated. Although the imperial army was passively beaten every day today, it was indeed humiliating enough to lose two lines of defense in one day.
Higuchi Kiichiro thought about it again and again and decided to mobilize another 2,000 reinforcements in the direction of Naiman. In Higuchi Jiichiro's opinion, although the situation on the Naiman front line is not very good, it is not impossible to hold on, after all, the combat effectiveness of more than 20,000 imperial troops should not be underestimated, even if it is 20,000 pigs, they have to kill for a few days.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the fighting on the Naiman front continued. Compared with the morning, the attack of Ma Zheng's department after three o'clock in the afternoon was more fierce, in addition to the north gate and the west gate, the east gate and the south gate were also attacked by Ma Zheng's department.
Soichi Tomura knew that it was not a way to remain passive like this, and after discussing it with his staff officers, Soichi Tomura decided to combine the tank brigade, the armored vehicle squadron and the motorized infantry brigade on the front line into a mechanized assault wing. Then, together with the cavalry division of the Imperial Allied Army, a major counterattack was carried out against the Chinese army outside the east gate.
If all goes well, the chariot unit will return to the city immediately after the battle, while the cavalry unit will be roaming outside the city, ready to be dispatched by the command.
The reason why Soichi Tomura used the East Gate as a breakthrough point was entirely because of the intelligence that had just been sent from the front line, although there were quite a few troops in the East Gate. However, no tank units were found, and there were not many artillery units, and the chances of winning a counterattack from the east gate were higher.
In order to increase his chances of victory, Soichi Tomura asked the air troops, who had already made two round-trips from the sky, to hold out for another half an hour, and then return to Tongliao Airport after they had completed the assault.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Soichi Tomura personally went to the east gate to watch the battle. Seeing that an attack by Ma Desheng's department was defeated by the Japanese Imperial Army, Soichi Tomura nodded with satisfaction, and secretly said that this was the real Imperial Army.
However, the performance of Ma Desheng's department also surprised this arrogant little devil, who had just been defeated, and Ma Desheng's department organized an attack again in less than ten minutes, which was astonishing in speed and efficiency.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Soichi Tomura ordered the Japanese chariot troops in the city to immediately go out of the city to meet the battle.
With the order of Soichi Tsumura, the east gate of Naiman suddenly opened, and hundreds of tanks quickly rushed out. Followed by a large number of cavalry and motorized infantry, this "rapid reaction force" rushed towards Ma Desheng's headquarters as soon as it left the city, like a tiger descending from the mountain.
However, to the surprise of Soichi Tsumura, the opposing Shina army did not withdraw the infantry at the first time, but continued to send dozens of infantry reinforcements.
The most important were the new Chinese infantry, each with a mortar-like weapon on their shoulders. It seems that the plan is to use these more than 1,000 infantry to deal with the more than 140 chariots and motorcycles of the imperial army and more than 3,000 cavalry.
Soichi Tomura was secretly happy, the people of Shina were too stupid, and the infantry faced the chariot troops and the cavalry moving at high speed, and it was no different from sending them to death.
Although the mortar is convenient, its power is very limited, and even if it hits the Type 97 tank head-on, it will not cause any irreparable damage to the vehicle. It seems that the commanders of China are not all as good as Ma Zheng, and there are also fools.
But what happened next made Du Mura Zongichi almost vomit blood in anger, only to see Ma Zheng's infantry start firing back on the spot, dozens of soldiers with that strange weapon on their shoulders half-squatted on the ground, and they didn't see how those soldiers moved, but they saw one after another cannonballs dragging a long tail flame towards the imperial army's chariot.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
Soichi Tomura saw with his own eyes that an Imperial Type 97 chariot was blown into scrap metal by a single cannon, and even the turret was blown away, even if it was taken back after the war, there was no repair value, which means that the soldier of the Shina destroyed an Imperial chariot with one shot.
A similar phenomenon continued on the battlefield, and in just a few minutes, most of the 145 tanks and motorcycles of the Imperial Japanese Army were destroyed, and the rest hurriedly retreated with their tails between their legs. The cavalry units of the Imperial Concord also withdrew to the city with the large force, and the first counterattack was declared a failure.
