Chapter 60: Wang Yaowu called
Some of the fighters landed on the south bank of the bridge, and some of the soldiers were still on the bridge and did not go ashore; The fighters who went ashore immediately looked for cover to find a firing position, and the fighters on the bridge were also approaching the bridge, while aiming their guns at the surroundings of the tank. On and off the bridge, multiple firepower formed a multi-point firing network. As soon as the devil's brave team came out, more firepower on and off the bridge worked together, and the devil's demomen could drill seamlessly!
After the Devil Demoman is killed, the fighters immediately shoot at the Devil's machine-gun position, to share the pressure on the tank! The three light tanks that followed were also put into battle.
When all four armored vehicles appeared on the south bank of the bridge, Jiro Hirano estimated that his position was probably more than auspicious today. Just now he saw with his own eyes how that tank treated the Japanese soldiers who had lost their forts! There was a whole squad of Imperial soldiers in that fortress, and after the fortress collapsed, dozens of Japanese soldiers inside immediately fell victim to machine guns! Listening to the sound of his soldiers crying under the crisp tank machine gun fire, Shaozo's heart was dripping blood! Blew it up! Be sure to blow it up!
Under Shao Zuo's stern order, groups of devil soldiers swooped down on our tanks with explosives bags and grenades!
The fire network formed by the soldiers who followed behind the chariots and under the bridge put down the devil's demoman one by one in the middle of the charge, and none of the devils could get close to our tanks.
Demomen go up batch after batch, go up batch and die batch by batch! There were four chariots in front of him, and Jiro Hirano couldn't see the infantry behind the chariots, and he could only see the Chinese troops on the other side of the river from the telescope constantly going up the bridge! Is there so much space on the bridge? You don't need to look closely to know that there must be Chinese soldiers who have landed in Qiaonan! This can actually be seen from the death of the demoman, and many of the devil's daredevils died at the gunpoint of the Chinese soldiers who had already landed on the land.
With these tanks in front, the fighters of the 504th Regiment crossed the bridge in more and more numbers. The warriors who crossed the river quickly occupied various vantage points and shot at the devils with various weapons in their hands. When the mortars and heavy machine guns had crossed the river, Hirano knew that his machine gun position was completely unkept!
Jiro Hirano is not a dead eye, seeing that the position can't be held at all, he doesn't want to stay here anymore, and staying any longer is a death! Dazuo had already said on the phone that even if this bridge was occupied by the Chinese, as long as the imperial army wanted to take it, it could be taken at any time! Shao Zuo found a series of reasons, and after forgiving all his ineffective combat and desertion, he immediately led the remnants of his troops to retreat, not even those heavy machine guns. Type 92 weighs several guns and weighs more than 100 catties each, and it will take several people to carry them, which will affect the marching speed of the Shaozuo troops!
The devil ran away! Problem solved! There was cheering on and off the bridge! The large force of the 500th Army immediately began to cross the bridge. Because the Japanese high-level had the intention of keeping the bridge, during the passage of our army, the devils only sent a few reconnaissance planes to check on the situation. There were no enemy troops on the other side of the river, and there were no planes bombing in the air, so it can be said that crossing the Miluo River Bridge was the easiest journey that the 500 Army had traveled since the war with the devils.
After crossing the Miluo River and further south, the scouts in front of the troops kept encountering the devil troops.
On 25 September, the 74th Army led by the famous anti-Japanese general Wang Yaowu rushed to Chunhua Mountain on the north bank of the Laodao River. The 57th Division of the vanguard saw that Chunhua Mountain had been occupied by the Japanese Third Division, and immediately crossed the river to occupy Swan Mountain on the opposite bank, and confronted the Japanese army at Chunhua Mountain across the river. When the Japanese found out, they immediately crossed the river and launched an attack on Swan Mountain. General Yu Chengwan, commander of the 57th Division, led his troops to hold on to the mountain, and fought a fierce battle with the Japanese army by virtue of their geographical advantages. In the early morning of the 26th, the Japanese attacked fruitlessly and suffered heavy casualties, and were forced to retreat.
Yu Chengwan took advantage of the situation to counterattack, chased the retreating devils all the way through the Laodao River, and captured Chunhua Mountain with Yu Wei at the beginning of the victory! At this time, the main force of the 74th Army had completed its assembly, and the 57th Division immediately handed over the Chunhua Mountain position to the 58th Division, which had already arrived, and went north out of Malin to continue to meet the Japanese invaders.
On the morning of the 27th, the main force of the Japanese 3rd Division, with the support of the air force, continued to attack the 57th Division head-on, but was stubbornly resisted by the 57th Division. Seeing that the attack was unfavorable, the Japanese immediately threw a part of the 4th Division to attack the left flank of the 57th Division. Our heroic 57th Division was fearless in the face of the siege of two elite Japanese troops, and the whole division suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, but still held on.
At the same time, the 58th Division also engaged in fierce battles with the headquarters of the 6th, 3rd, and 4th Divisions of the Japanese Army on the lines of Chunhuashan, Xiajiatang, and Wujiadu, the 51st Division on the lines of Wujiadu and Yangjiatan, and the 95th Division of the 37th Army, which fought in coordination with the 74th Army, on the lines of Wangjiachong and Yanggongqiao. Wang Yaowu and the four divisions under his command entered into an all-out bitter battle with the three Japanese divisions near Chunhua Mountain.
When Gao Quan received this report, he was guessing which unit was fighting the Japanese army in front. Now that I hear it, it turns out to be this group of fierce generals!
The Japanese army in front of them has the numbers of three divisions, of course, this is certainly not all of the three divisions, and perhaps not even a complete division. When the devils are fighting, they are always in the habit of splitting a division into several detachments to attack separately. Due to its strong combat effectiveness, even a wing-level detachment can often defeat a division or brigade of the Chinese army, so that it can blossom more. In addition, each detachment has a division commander who coordinates and commands in a unified manner, and it is more convenient for each detachment to support and cooperate with each other, so that the attack can be more rapid and achieve greater results.
Which one will Gao Quan choose as his opponent? As an excellent military commander, he must definitely choose his opponent in accordance with the principle of giving priority to the near before the far, and the easy before the difficult. However, this war is different from others, before Gao Quan, his opponent has a distinction between primary and secondary, and the Sixth Division is undoubtedly the main opponent.
Knowing that there was a Sixth Division in front of the enemy, Gao Quan first gave an order to his confidential department, asking to intercept and decipher the Japanese telegram as much as possible, and he wanted to find out the specific location of the Sixth Division of the devil. Find the right target to go under the knife!
The Sixth Division hasn't been found yet, and the Confidential Department sent a telegram first, it turned out that Wang Yaowu had contacted Gao Quan first!
"Tai Jian, the commander of the 500 army: Our 57th division fought fiercely with the superior Japanese in Malin, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. Samin saluted. "Wang Yaowu's character is Zuomin.
The 57th Division has now suffered more than 2,000 casualties, especially Lieutenant General Toyoda Fangtaro feels that he has lost the Chunhua Mountain position, and he has lost face by Yu Chengwan, and he must find this field. Under the order of Lieutenant General Toyoda, the two main wings of the 3rd Division bit the 57th Division from the front and attacked fiercely, and the 4th Division also came up with a wing to launch a flank attack on the 57th Division.
