Chapter 11: The Night of September 18 (4)

For Zhang Xuewu's previous life, war was just a subject for research, and the only role of war examples was to be used for repeated analysis, and the enemy was always just an imaginary enemy composed of data, and no matter how realistic the drill was, it could only be a drill. Modernization, electronic, scientific and technological, and cutting-edge science and technology have completely changed the situation and mode of warfare, and the surging blood and courage of the old days have become the memory of history.

As a military commander, watching the ruthless war with a cold eye is cold, when the mutual restraint of extreme force reaches a balance point, the war will naturally disappear, but if this balance is out of balance, war will also come, so that the so-called reckless military and mad careerists are just a point in the balance link.

When Zhang Xuewu was really in the middle of the war, Zhang Xuewu suddenly realized that everything was not like that......

Hirata Broken Mountain is the son of Hokkaido fisherman Kitagawa, and when he grew up, he was passed on to the local famous Hirata family, so Kitagawa Broken Mountain also became the later Hirata Broken Mountain, for the stubborn resistance of the Northeast Army of Beidaying, Hirata Broken Mountain has a preliminary judgment, because according to the extension of the opponent's fortifications and the calculation of the firepower, the so-called defenders of the other side are probably less than 1,000 people.

Moreover, on the way to the Beida Battalion, Hirata Duanshan had already received a report from the underground reconnaissance detachment of the wing, and the two main regiments of the 7th Infantry Brigade of the Beida Battalion had withdrawn to the arsenal of the three eastern provinces, and the cavalry and engineers were moving to the Tanglin ammunition depot, and the formed Northeast Army troops appeared in the city, so Hirata Duanshan had every reason to believe that there were only more than 1,000 defenders of the Northeast Army in the Beida Camp at this moment.

The 29th Infantry Wing commanded by Hirata Broken Mountain had three fully equipped infantry brigades, and had previously strengthened a field artillery squadron, plus the Fifth Brigade of the Reading Garrison that came to help in the battle, it did not seem to be a problem for the confident Hirata Broken Mountain to eat the so-called few Chinese defenders in the Northern Battalion.

What made Hirata Broken Mountain a real headache was that the Seventh Brigade of the elite infantry of the Northeast Army stationed in Mukden did not retreat without a fight, as the previous senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army, Itagaki Seishiro, nor did it concentrate its forces to defend the North Camp, but instead divided its troops into many places, so that the Second Brigade of the Reading Garrison, which was trying to blossom everywhere, hit the wall once.

"Let's take a look at the combat effectiveness of the Second Division, which is the core strength of the Kwantung Army!" Hirata Duanshan gently swung his white-gloved right hand, and the twelve **-type 90 field guns began to shell near the barracks of the 620th Regiment of the Beida Battalion, which had the fiercest resistance.

Soon, most of the barracks of the 620th Regiment were destroyed by the artillery fire of the Yue Army, and in the interval between the extension of the artillery fire, the infantry of the Yue Army began to pull a long line of skirmishers from east to west to start a full-scale attack on the Beida Battalion.

For the army that thought it had sufficient troops, it adopted the usual tactics of outflanking and attacking on both flanks, which was expected by Zhang Xuewu as early as possible, and it is always said in history that the army that attacked the Beida camp on the night of the incident was only five or six hundred people, in fact, this is not right, through Zhang Xuewu's analysis of the tactics of the army, the Kawashima squadron that the army first invested in was indeed only more than 300 people after being strengthened, and it only relied on these troops to expel the [***] squadron in the huge Beida battalion, even if the [***] squadron did not resist and automatically evacuated, It was also very difficult, not to mention that Wang Tiehan, the commander of the 620th Regiment, led his troops to fight fiercely with the Yue army at 1 o'clock in the morning, and only retreated after the arrival of the reinforcements of the Yue army.

Therefore, the troops of the Yue army attacking the Beida Battalion should be the first part of the Second Brigade of the Manchurian Reading Garrison, the main force of the 29th Infantry Wing stationed in Fengtian, and the entire Fifth Brigade of the Manchurian Reading Garrison who rushed to Tieling to help in the battle.

It is indeed an objective fact that the strength of the army is overstretched, but the retreat of the 7th Infantry Brigade of the Northeast Frontier Army allowed the army to successfully occupy the city of Shenyang, and on the night of the September 18 incident, the strategic and tactical objectives of the army in the first place were pointed to the Chinese garrison in Beidaying, and only by defeating the Chinese garrison in Beidaying could the army occupy Fengtian City and quickly advance and occupy important cities along the South Manchurian Railway.

In the face of the attack of the Yue army, Zhang Xuewu passed the coordinates and secret positions of the main attack area of the Yue army to Zhang Tianpeng of the artillery battalion by telephone, and calmly commanded the troops to rely on the fortifications to block the Yue army.

Looking at the corpses of the soldiers who braved the defenders' firepower net and bravely advanced to death, Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath, but his brows were wrinkled tighter and tighter, saying that although his country is just a small place, it is a blessing and a misfortune for him to have a group of extremely martial and fanatical soldiers! Lacking strategic depth and lacking in materials, the reckless military force carried out by the Yuben is like a nouveau riche in the business field, the big tycoons and the big compradors can afford to lose, but the seemingly powerful Yuben Empire cannot afford to lose!

In the barrage composed of tracer bullets, the soldiers shouted to each other to encourage the tenacious advance, when entering a distance of 100 meters, as the defenders of Zhang Xuewu's casualties began to increase sharply, if someone said that the small three-inch nail is easy to deal with, Zhang Xuewu can now pull away the person who said this, said that he is indeed very difficult, and their individual soldier quality has exceeded Zhang Xuewu's expectations.

To be precise, there are too many officers and soldiers who surpass the elite Seventh Infantry Brigade of the Northeast Army, even so, Zhang Xuewu has no intention of backing down, this is China's territory, and as a soldier, he retreats without a fight? It's not a pity to die!

Soon, the all-out offensive of the Yue army turned into outflanking and key attacks, this tactic is Hirata Broken Mountain's forte, the key attack breaks a little and shocks the whole line, and the left and right flanks feint to attack the virtual and real, so that the enemy army cares about one and the other.

When the army once again opened the offensive posture, Zhang Xuewu decisively ordered the launch of three red signal flares, seeing the three red signal flares lifted into the air, Hirata Broken Mountain was stunned for a while, you must know that the three red signal flares in the military signal transmission indicate the meaning of the attack, is the Chinese army ready to counterattack?

At the same time, looking at the three red signal flares that had begun to fall, Zhang Tianpeng nodded to the battalion artillery group commander who had been waiting for a long time! The small flag in the hands of the starter fell.

Boom, boom! With the orange-red flame sprayed out of the muzzle, the earth trembled slightly, the 75 mm Italian field gun using German Krupp technology is the most imitated model of the Northeast Army, the Seventh Infantry Brigade adapted from the Guards Brigade of the Marshal of the Northeast Army, and the equipment is naturally imported original goods!

When the first shell fell with the flash of explosion, the wounded soldiers let out a heart-rending howl in the rising gunsmoke, and the shells that continued to fall densely became a group, and the raging shrapnel was rapidly harvesting the lives of the invaders, and the broken internal organs and stumps and severed arms were thrown high into the sky by the shock wave of the explosion, and fell back to the ground in an instant.

"Dazuo be careful!" The moment Hirata was thrown to the ground by his adjutant, he felt a wave of heat rush by, and it seemed that his entire body was also in numbness? The hand doesn't seem to be your own? Is the slimy feeling on your face bleeding? Hirata Broken Mountain, who was ringing in the ears, saw in a trance that the bloody body of Adjutant Kobayashi, who was pulled away from him, seemed to be still twitching?

After the artillery battalion finished firing the last shell, Zhang Tianpeng immediately organized his troops to begin to retreat according to the predetermined plan, and this fierce artillery bombardment can be said to have completely disrupted the offensive rhythm of the 29th Infantry Wing, and the wounding of the wing commander Hirata Broken Mountain Daisa also made the overall offensive of the 29th Wing pause.

The flat position of the Peking University camp is by no means a stubborn place, Zhang Xuewu is also ready to take advantage of the aftermath of the artillery bombardment to organize the troops to quietly withdraw from the position, since he wants the Beida camp, then he might as well give them an empty camp, for Zhang Xuewu, there are more important things waiting for him at this moment!

(At that time, the Chinese side was called Shenyang, and the book was called Fengtian for some specific considerations, so the book considered the way of calling the two sides at that time, so there were different names for Shenyang and Fengtian at the same time, and the equipment of the military headquarters and the Northeast Frontier Army was extracted from the Manchurian Incident and the puppet Manchurian historical materials of the General Staff Headquarters)
