Chapter 140: Retreat to the Decisive Battle, Victory
During the Anti-Japanese War, both the generals of the National × Army and the generals of the GC×D were racking their brains, exerting their creativity, and conceiving some novel strategic and tactical plans. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Under the brainstorming, when the thinking has not yet formed a fixed discipline, it is inevitable to conduct experiments on various battlefields, and even be inspired by blood lessons. Some of these examples are strange and impractical, but the idea of change has also produced many glorious examples.
For example, the Battle of Nanchang, although it was a failure, the Nationalist × Army also discovered a characteristic of the Japanese army's operations, gave birth to the idea of retreating to a decisive battle, and boldly implemented it in the later Battle of Changsha and won the victory.
At the beginning of the Battle of Nanchang, after the Japanese broke through the Xiushui defensive line, the troops of the Nationalist × Army withdrawn from the first line were in a state of isolation, and Okamura Ninji's convoy and vehicle-mounted infantry could easily surround the 49th, 79th, and 70th armies and even the 32nd Army, which was planned to be transferred. However, the Japanese army only blindly attacked terrain targets, and as long as the troops of the × Army did not stand in the way, they were not regarded as a strategic target at all. Therefore, although the Japanese army reached Nanchang at an astonishing speed, it never failed to cause a decisive battle of annihilation.
In the strategy of retreating and decisive battle formed in the future, the first line of corps will turn to the flank after depleting the enemy's combat strength, allowing the Japanese to break in freely.
Because, after the Battle of Nanchang and several battles in the future, the commander of the Kuomintang × Army already understood that the various armies of the Japanese army would definitely take the famous city of Dayi in the theater as the strategic goal. As long as heavy troops are deployed to defend this strategic objective, the Japanese army will inevitably abandon its mobile superiority, abandon the field army of the Nationalist × Army, and besiege the famous city in a daze. The slow-moving Nationalist × Army was able to accurately surround the main Japanese force on foot on the side of the besieged Oshiro.
However, before the Battle of Changsha, the commander of the Nationalist × Army had never thought of using these geographical targets to lure the Japanese army into a group, and he did not dare to take this risk.
If someone suggested before the Battle of Nanchang that the top level of the Kuomintang × Army did not need to stick to the water repair defense line, the water repair front could give up with a little resistance, and let go of the main road to defend both sides, so as to achieve the goal of indulging the enemy deep and allowing the Japanese army to run freely in northern Jiangxi. He also claimed that in this case× the Kuomintang army must be capable of encircling and annihilating the Japanese army in motion, and this person must be regarded as insane or trying to save the country.
But Yang Tianfeng didn't dare to say it, but he dared to do it, or to verify in practice whether the Japanese army was so dull. That is, there was already an ambush behind the Japanese brigade.
Attacking and delaying, the enemy encountered many times on the dozens of miles from Luyi to Shibali Town. Thirty or fifty people did not wait for each time, and they ran away after the battle, and the Japanese army did not care about these small-scale armed forces after opening the road, but went straight to the strategic target of Haoxian.
But when the enemy had passed, these small forces had gathered together again and regrouped around the road, and their number had reached three or four hundred, and with the weapons they had concealed beforehand, they were able to ambush or block them.
Three cars sped along the highway with their headlights on, and Kuranaga Kashiichi in the car had a gloomy face, painfully thinking about the whole battle, hoping to find the reason for the defeat.
Divide your forces and strike together? The secrecy of the three-vertical operation? Caught in street fighting attrition? Unprepared for the rapid artillery fire...... Thoughts were flipping, and finally they converged into one reason: pride and contempt for the enemy.
That's right, that's why. As soon as Cang Yongjia thought about it, he also felt remorse. The capture of Luyi at the cost of only twenty or thirty casualties, more than 2,000 troops, trust in the combat strength of the imperial army, and overestimation of weapons and equipment all these factors ultimately led to failure. Of course, there is also the lack of understanding of the Three Columns, the unfamiliarity with their combat methods, the contempt for their combat capabilities, and the lack of intelligence.
Unfortunately, all this is irreparable. Kuranaga rubbed his temples in pain, listening to the sound of gunfire getting farther and farther away. He didn't know how many officers and soldiers would be able to withdraw, and he didn't know if the Mutani squadron would go well. The enemy's main force seems to be there at this moment, so the Kitani squadron probably won't be in any trouble, right?
"Boom!" The front wheel of the devil's head car suddenly fell into the pit, although the car was not driving very fast, and the sudden impact also made the devil on the car all sorts of things. Immediately afterwards, two large mines exploded, overturning the car at once, and the devils in the car were either killed or injured, screaming again and again.
Quack, quack! With the screech of brakes, the three cars came to a halt, and Kuranaga bounced out of his seat and nearly hit the windshield.
Da Da Da ...... Several machine guns spewed tongues of fire from the side of the road, pouring bullets on the devils in the carriage, and the devils in the carriage shook and trembled like dancing, and the corpses sprayed with blood fell one by one.
Boom, boom, boom...... The grenades hit the car in succession, and the flames of the explosion illuminated the battlefield.
Before the devils of a squad could get out of the car, most of them had already suffered casualties, and only a dozen intact devils were able to meet the battle in a hurry.
A dozen devils rescued the unconscious Kuranaga, and three or four more fell in the rain of bullets on both sides of the road. The car caught fire, shining a light on these stubborn devils. The devils had no choice but to crawl towards the nearby ravine, hoping to find a hidden place.
But they were wrong, and it turned out to be just how cunning and ruthless the enemy they were facing. "Boom, boom, boom!" The devils who rolled into the ditch sounded the mines, and the flesh flew sideways, and screams and wails rang out.
What kind of generals there are, what kind of officers there are, and what kind of soldiers there are.
Zhao Liansheng sneered and gave the order to attack, the devil only had single digits left, and there was no suspense in the battle, maybe there would be zero casualties.
Since Yang Tianfeng came out of the Yellow Flood Area, this guy took the initiative to serve in the battle of Huangkou Town, and he was very determined, and he was gradually trusted by Yang Tianfeng, and he was already the captain of the special combat team. You must know that the special combat team has been repeatedly expanded and trained strictly, and now it is the dagger that Yang Tianfeng relies on the most, and there are only four squads.
Yang Tianfeng not only compiled a manual for special operations, often gave instructions on the training and operations of special combat units, but also taught his own thinking methods to the officers.
It's not complicated to say, it's just to try to put yourself in the real world. Think of yourself as an enemy and ask a few ifs when making plans. For example: What would I do if I were a devil and faced with a strong resistance? If I were an enemy, how would I react if I was suddenly attacked on the highway?
And this way of thinking has been unconsciously recognized and used by most officers, such as shooting to lure the enemy into stepping on mines, and wearing a Japanese leather fox fake tiger to scare the puppet army......
When he carried out guerrilla infiltration in Xiayi County, he deliberately buried the mines on the side of the road, and then attacked the enemy on the main road, letting the enemy run around to find concealment, and then stepped on the mine himself. This time, the devil suffered a big loss in his hands again.
The short battle ended quickly, and the wounded soldiers of the devils were all turned into corpses. On the battlefield, the Three Columns did not give preferential treatment to prisoners. Except for the puppet army who raised their hands and surrendered, the devil will never let go.
"Immediately to the second ambush point." Zhao Liansheng glanced at Cangyong's corpse, snorted, took Shaozuo's epaulettes and command knife, left a small number of men and horses to clean up the battlefield, and led the troops to leave quickly.
……………
The shouts of killing are getting closer and closer!
In the whitening twilight, by the flash of the explosion, the figure of the enemy loomed and was approaching. At four o'clock in the morning, the remaining dozens of Japanese devils, including Fujisawa, had been compressed in a depression outside the town, and could only survive and die.
The puppet army had already collapsed, and while giving up resistance, it did not forget to strike back and deal with the Japanese advisers who were mixed in the ranks.
Covered in dust and with a bandage on his head, Fujisawa silently watched the enemy looming in the distance in a daze, fate had been decided, and his cover provided the commander with a chance to escape, but the enemy cut off the way to retreat.
In front of the majestic commander, the wounded Japanese soldiers hid on the ground, gritted their teeth and endured the pain, holding grenades and waiting for their last moments. Soldiers capable of fighting are packed up and ready for the final onslaught of the enemy.
"We underestimated the enemy." Fujisawa suddenly said in a low tone: "Gentlemen, let's use our flesh and blood to serve His Majesty the Emperor and provide lessons for future expeditions......
Boom, boom, boom...... Explosions came one after another, and the Third Column did not rush to attack with infantry, but used mortars to bombard the devils who did not have complete fortifications to rely on.
Vile! Fujisawa gritted his teeth as he watched the soldiers continue to suffer casualties under artillery fire. He seemed to have forgotten how the Japanese relied on the might of artillery fire to attack the anti-Japanese forces and even the peaceful residents.
Finally, he couldn't bear this way of sitting and waiting for destruction, drew his command knife, pointed forward, and shouted: "Samurai, the time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor, shake up the spirit of bushido, and follow me to fight a bloody path." With that, take the lead and rush forward.
…………
The sound of gunfire fell silent, the puppet prisoners were escorted to a clearing, the corpses of the Japanese devils and puppet soldiers were cleaned and thrown into the roaring fire, and the mixed smell of gunsmoke and barbecue meat filled the air.
"The four detachments are responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and taking care of the prisoners, immediately reorganize the men and horses, one will go to the Longwang Temple to listen to the command of the chief of staff, and the other troops will follow me to Luyi and attack the county seat."
"Send a telegram to the Chief of Staff that our troops have been completely annihilated."
"Send a telegram to Zhao Liansheng and ask them to cooperate with the action." Yang Tianfeng dispatched one order after another, striking while the iron was hot, so that the enemy did not have time to adjust his deployment, so that he could achieve greater results.
Although the losses of the combat troops are not small and they are quite tired, the time lost now will have to be compensated for with more blood later. Moreover, Luyi defended the enemy with no more than a company of puppet troops, and only a few hundred troops could easily take it down.
At this time, Yang Tianfeng was very grateful for the support and help of the military commanders, and the 2.5-watt small radio station made the three verticals like a tiger with wings, and the command was like an arm and a finger, and it was extremely fast. (To be continued.) )
