Section VII Retreating the National Defense Line II
Commander, there was information from the Mei organ that there was another group army of the 24th Group Army that had been driven to T|Sichuan, and the commander was called Yang Sen. Full // Ben \ Small // Said \ Net "Just when Matsui was irritable, Chief of Staff Harada Yukichi added fuel to his fire.
"Yo Xi, that's great." Matsui Shigen was full of indifference on his face, but he was very bitter in his heart, there were so many Chinese troops, at the beginning of the war, the military department judged that the local powerful factions would not really contribute to Chiang Kai-shek, so they only mentioned Chiang Kai-shek and the Nanjing government in their external propaganda, that is, to tell those local powerful factions that as long as they did not interfere, the imperial army would not target them, but in the past two months, the armies of Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, and Guizhou have appeared, and now even the troops of Sichuan have arrived, I am afraid that the armies of Yunnan will also arrive in a few days. It's just that the army is nothing, but now his troops have suffered heavy losses, the 3rd Division and the 101st Division that were invested in advance have lost more than half, and the number of marines fighting in the urban area is still only half of the original number after three replenishments.
"Commander, at present, the four divisions of our army are divided in three places: the urban area, Chuanshakou, and Wusong, although the artillery fire of the China Army is small, but due to the narrow area of the landing ground, it still causes us a lot of casualties, and our naval artillery fire has caused great casualties to China, but our troops also suffer heavy casualties," Harada Yuyoshi was a little worried: "At present, if our army wants to attract the China Army and make Commander Yanagawa successfully land at Jinshanwei, we must increase the strength of one more division, otherwise we will not be able to complete the task. ”
The increase in troops, it has already been increased once, Matsui Ishine is very angry in his heart, and he is also a little ashamed, since the beginning of the war, he has increased his troops twice, in addition to the four divisions, there are also three independent troops, the Taiwan Infantry Brigade, the Chongteng Detachment, and the First Reserve Infantry Regiment; He did not count the two puppet army units from the northeast, which, in his opinion, could not guarantee combat effectiveness; There are so many troops to be added? Matsui was a little unwilling.
Not at all. Matsui said with determination: "I believe that the Shanghai Dispatch Army will be able to complete the mission entrusted by the Empire." ”
Matsui's self-confidence was shaken after two days, and the newly arrived 24th Group Army launched a counteroffensive from Yang's house west of Luodian, and the offensive was more fierce than any previous one, and the artillery fire was also more fierce than any previous one, and it conquered Hejia Village and Lujiazhai in half a day, and the Japanese defense line was three kilometers away. The commander of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army, Yaheita Saito, was forced to ask Matsui for help.
"Eight squares! Didn't you say it was the Sichuan Army? How can it be more violent than the central army of the Nanjing government? What exactly is the intelligence service doing? They should be seppuku! "Matsui was furious when he received a telegram from the front for help, and it was clear that the artillery fire was by no means from other troops, but only from the 24th Army, so it was so.
If Shi Yi, who was far away in Chongqing, knew that the weapons and equipment of the Chongqing Army he had obtained at the risk of his life had been reprimanded as hearsay by the generals of the military department, and then thrown into the filing cabinet without care, I am afraid that he would really have to protest.
Sort of! Tell Yang Hanyu to beat Lao Tzu fiercely and show Lao Tzu's majesty. Matsui was furious, Yang Sen was happy, he heard the battle report at the command post, and he was so happy that he got carried away: "Turtle son Chen Cixiu still has two hits, the ghost idea is good!" ”
It is true that Yang Sen had a reason to be happy, because along the way from Nanjing to Shanghai, he met many wounded and refugees who had withdrawn, and from their mouths he knew that the Japanese artillery was fierce, and these words could not have no effect on the morale of the soldiers, and today's victory could break the shadow in the hearts of the soldiers.
This counteroffensive is unlike anything that has been done before. Chen Cheng realized that every time in the past, it was a counterattack on all fronts. It was hoped that the Japanese army would be driven down the Yangtze River in one fell swoop. The results are often too quick to achieve. In the end, the follow-up is weak. Driven back by the Japanese army. This time, he formulated a counterattack strategy, and only used the 20th Army of Yang Sen, and the local division was Yang Sen's descendant. Commanded by his nephew Yang Hanyu. Also the first modifications. Perform modern training for the longest time. Sure enough, Yang Hanyu didn't disgrace him. It took half a day to break in. And these two points are firmly controlled.
Chen Chengdi's plan is to take it step by step. After attacking it. Let's not rush to the depth. Rather, they prepared to resist the Japanese counteroffensive. If the Japanese army does not come to fight.
After the squadron captured two villages. The attack was stopped. This change made Matsui a little unpredictable. However, he still sent a brigade to Saito. He was then ordered to recapture the lost ground.
After receiving support, Saito immediately launched a counterattack on Yang Hanyu. Yang Sen also immediately saw the power of the legendary Japanese naval guns. Indeed, the earth is very powerful and fierce. The explosion of that large-caliber artillery shell was like a landslide cracking the ground. The whole land was covered with fog and firelight.
"Turtle son." Janssen sees this in the telescope at the command post. I couldn't help but scold. Yang Hanyu put a whole regiment in the two villages in the newly captured land. Such shelling. I'm afraid that regiment will lose half of it.
Janssen had an impulse in his heart. Wanted the ground guns of the army group to fire at the Japanese warships. Let's have a fight. Let's see if you're good or I'm good. But in the end, I suppressed this impulse. The entire army group had only twelve guns. It was originally equipped with six agricultural cannons. It was replaced with six cannons. These 12 heavy artillery pieces are the treasures of the 24th Group Army.
After two hours of shelling, the Japanese artillery fire moved back, and through the smoke, hundreds of Japanese troops poured towards the position, and the regimental artillery began to shoot artillery shells that fell in the Japanese crowd, and then
Zero mortars, battalion 82 mortars also opened fire one after another, the Japanese attack T) under the blow became scattered, the tenacity of the Japanese army was also reflected at this time, even if only one soldier was left to rush forward.
To Yang Sen's surprise, how the mortars were preserved, you must know that the Japanese artillery fire just now covered the entire position, not to mention the mortars, even if people can save it, it is not easy.
"Turtle son, come down and ask." Yang Sen muttered in his heart, this is not easy, if it is extended to the entire group army, the casualties will be much smaller.
At this time, five tanks appeared in the telescope, seeing this thing, Yang Sen didn't care, but the liaison officer of the left theater next to him was a little nervous, every time he hit the tank, he had to pay a lot of casualties, the first army took the approach of sending three or five soldiers to pounce on the tank with grenades, and it would cost the lives of more than a dozen soldiers to blow up a tank.
The liaison officer saw two clouds of white smoke flying from the position, and when it hit the tank, the tank exploded, followed by the second tank, the third tank, and the ......five tanks were easily destroyed, but he did not see the soldier with the grenade rushing out of the trench.
"Commander Yang, what do you use to hit tanks?" The liaison officer asked, surprised.
"Fighting tanks is nothing, we have practiced in Sichuan." Yang Sen looked indifferent, looked at the liaison officer, and felt very proud: "That thing is called a bazooka, take a bazooka and show it to the liaison officer." ”
Soon a bazooka was brought in, and the liaison officer took the bazooka and looked at it carefully, it was very bright and clean, and it was quite heavy in his hand, and the liaison officer didn't understand it for a while. Yang Sen squinted at him, and the happier he became. You central old people look down on people, Kangze's special forces just entered Sichuan, their eyes were in the sky, and they thought that our Sichuan army was poor and poorly equipped, but it became jealous within two years. All these changes are thanks to Zhuang Jihua.
"Someone, show it to the liaison officer."
Yang Sen led the way out of the shelter, two soldiers with bazookas, one on his shoulders and kneeling on one leg, the other beside him, a little back, and the third behind them.
"The first soldier is the shooter, the one next to him is the observer and the commander, and the one behind him is the loader." Yang Sen explained to the liaison officer as he watched.
The liaison officer saw the loader open the rear compartment and put a cannonball inside, and then saw the cannonball sped out of the muzzle and exploded on a wall in the distance.
"This thing can hit armor plates within 300 meters, and steel plates can be pierced within 500 meters. The tanks of the little Japanese are said to be only a dozen millimeters thick, which is a piece of cake. Janssen's tone became more relaxed.
The liaison officer couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, so he just asked: "This is produced in Chongqing?" ”
Yang Sen nodded, and the liaison officer cursed in his heart, why don't you equip the Central Army with such a weapon, if the Central Army has such a thing, how many fewer brothers will die in these two months.
"Brother," Yang Sen seemed to see through his thoughts, and patted him on the shoulder: "We only equipped it last year, I estimate that after this battle, you should equip it." ”
The five tanks were destroyed in this way, and the momentum of the Japanese attack was lowered at once, and the Chinese soldiers took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and the six Czechs formed an overwhelming fire net that overwhelmed the crooked handles, and the 60 mortars destroyed the grenadier and the flames from the front guns made the 38 cover that had to be re-bolted after firing a shot became clumsy and ridiculous, and was torn to pieces in front of the fire net.
"If there were no Japanese naval guns, Lao Tzu could have hit the Yangtze River." After the Japanese troops were driven away, Yang Sen scolded and left, completely forgetting to ask the forward company how the 60 mortars had hidden the Japanese artillery fire.
But Yang Sen did not go to the front, he did not know, the casualties on the front line were amazing, the casualties caused by the Japanese artillery fire were extremely large, in just one day, the front company lost more than half, and the second regiment stationed in two villages lost as much as one-third, most of which were caused by Japanese artillery fire.
For the next three days, the two sides engaged in a fierce tug-of-war around these two villages, just like two children, what they lost must be snatched back, and they will never lose this breath.
The combat effectiveness of the Sichuan army was also recognized by all the generals of the Left Wing Army, and simply put, a company of the Sichuan Army could hold the position for a day, which was two hours longer than that of the Central Army. In other local troops, a company fought for a maximum of half a day. The Sichuan army was able to prevent the Japanese army from stepping on the position once in a day, so that the Japanese army left more corpses than them in front of the position.
Three days later, on the night, Chen Cheng planned another counterattack, this time in the east of Luodian, using the troops of the 24th Group, this night attack successfully captured the small high ground of the Japanese army on the left flank, Wudouyuan, and then again attracted the Japanese army to counterattack, killing and wounding a large number of Japanese living forces.
