Chapter 105: Bloodstained Mountains and Rivers (7)
The army's double-artillery fire and compound advance suppression tactics caused huge casualties to the new 3rd Regiment of the Majiagou Side Ridge that was responsible for the defensive mission! The surviving officers and soldiers were crying along the mountain of trenches with broken bones, and subsequent reinforcements were joined to find the wounded and restore the fortifications.
Zhao Xinyu, who looked numb, walked in the trenches, calling out to those subordinates who had been sleeping here for a long time with trembling hands, hoping to find one or two living people, and the surviving officers and soldiers were numb in the mechanical rebuilding fortifications, and because the heavy artillery of the position was repeatedly destroyed, the remains of those fallen comrades became materials again.
The blood on Zhao Xinyu's hands had already condensed under the low temperature, and those scattered subordinates were obviously unable to stand up and call him a group!
I'm his grandmother and little girl, this bunch of dogs! Zhao Xinyu turned around and said loudly: "Let the rabbit cubs of the reconnaissance company be ruthless when they grab their tongues in the past, and be careful when they act, many of the Chinese wildcards that the army transferred from the second division before this operation belong to other divisions and regiments participating in the war, and the Chinese words are so smooth, and Xiao Yue is good at that!" Order them to cooperate with the engineer company to leave some souvenirs for Xiao Yuben after completing the task! ”
The commemoration that Zhao Xinyu refers to is actually that he found twenty mines with a diameter of one meter in one of Tang Yulin's arsenals, these things are all things left by Beiyang back then, there are German-made, British-made, French-made, Dutch-made, there are not many mines but they are Wanguo brands, these things are things that Tang Yulin seized in Tianjin with Zhang Zuolin into Beiping, and at that time it was fresh and let people pull it away, maybe in the end Tang Yulin didn't know what he was pulling away?
After this batch of things fell into the hands of Zhao Xinyu, Zhao Xinyu was very smart and shut his mouth, he still knew the old rule that he couldn't show his wealth, Zhao Xinyu heard that Zhang Xuewu had used mine grenades and iron sand steel balls to fill a large bucket when he was in Beidaying, and connected these explosive points into a row to detonate, and knocked down three or four hundred people in one time!
This big guy with a diameter of one meter is adding more than a ton of thumb-sized fried steel balls that he got to him, how much can he put down? However, Zhao Xinyu also knew that his plan could be described as extremely risky, first of all, he had to send people to excavate, transport, and bury three hundred meters in front of the position! It was only more than 200 meters away from the starting point of the army's attack, and it could be said that it was closer to the army himself than to his own people, but only at that distance could it be guaranteed that these mines would be detonated and cleared by the army's artillery fire.
Maybe I'll be very lax before attacking? Besides, after realizing that our army has suffered heavy losses, can it take the risk of planting bombing points in front of its positions? It would also be a good idea to make effective use of the numerous craters!
Soon, after the reconnaissance company of the new third regiment attacked, the engineer company also went out and began to carefully lay mines in front of the formation.
Soon, the reconnaissance company captured several prisoners, one of whom was still a captain officer? However, the captives were captured, and the company commander of the reconnaissance company in charge of interrogation quickly found Zhao Xinyu and told Zhao Xinyu helplessly: "Tuanza!" Xiao Yu is really fucking tough! Don't say it, three of the five live mouths were beaten to death, and the remaining two are still grunting and not gnawing to tell the truth, what should I do? ”
Zhao Xinyu frowned and said, "Has the translator from the division gone?" ”
The reconnaissance company commander was slightly stunned and said, "What do you want to translate?" Didn't you say that Xiao Yue's Chinese language is smooth? As a result, they are fooling us with their mouths, and the brothers can spare them? I'm afraid they're going to be dehaired! ”
Zhao Xinyu glared at the reconnaissance company commander fiercely and said, "Don't make any excuses for me, your little trick is still playing in front of Lao Tzu?" Fight the trick that Lao Tzu didn't like to play when he was a company commander ten years ago, and you dare to take it out to fool Lao Tzu? Do you dare to have something fresh? You kid have made it clear to me, the master wants to be alive, and if you want to be killed, you will take your people to touch your own position. ”
Yes! The face of the commander of the reconnaissance company changed, and he hurriedly saluted and turned around and ran! The officers and soldiers of the newly formed 3rd Regiment were covered with heavy casualties by a cannon fire, and the officers and soldiers who were holding back a bad breath in their hearts made their own strange moves, and as a result, four of the five prisoners were killed, and the last one was left.
When Zhang Xuewu learned that the right flank of the Majiagou side ridge position turned out to be the Sixth Division of the Army? When it came to the Sixth Division, the pencil in Zhang Xuewu's hand, who was lying on the map, clicked and broke after piercing the map? Zhang Xuewu redrew a large circle on the right flank of the Majiagou side ridge, marking the Sixth Division of the Army!
This is the main culprit force that participated in the Nanjing Massacre, which humiliated hundreds of millions of Chinese people in later generations! In later generations, the six divisions of the army said that all kinds of evil deeds of exterminating people's surnames seem to be vivid! The 45 th Infantry Wing under this division and regiment killed the corpses of the Chinese [***] people in Xiaguan alone in a belt of corpses 2,000 meters long and 50 meters wide, and the blood stained the Yangtze River red, and there were countless cases of forcible annihilation, torture, and so on.
For this reason, Zhang Xuewu overturned all the plans he had made before, pointed to the position on the side ridge of Majiagou and said: "I order Zhao Xinyu to resolutely give a comprehensive counterattack if the left flank is attacked by the Yue army, I will use the fire of the two artillery guns of the artillery regiment to support him, and the right flank will be fiercely pushed first, and then directly let the Yue army in, and let all the streets leading to Laojiekou on the right flank out!" ”
Li Xinkai was surprised: "Shizuo, that is the preset battlefield that you have carefully prepared, and if you let go of the main position of the right flank and the left flank, you may be attacked on your back!" Moreover, it is said that the army is only 400 meters away from the command post of the division headquarters when it penetrates into Lao Cai, which is the effective range of his own direct-fire artillery! It's too dangerous! ”
Zhang Xuewu said with a solemn face: "In order to severely damage the Sixth Division of the Yue Army, even if my newly formed First Division is martyred in a bloody battle, it is worth it!" I must let Yu Kou know that he knows how good [***] of us are! ”
Zhang Xuewu slammed his fist on the table, Li Xinkai and Huang Tao looked at each other, they didn't know what the sixth division of the army had to do with the division? So much so that the division seat was like an enemy meeting and his eyes were red, and as soon as he came up, he gave up the battle plan that was almost completed, and he had to fight to the death against the sixth division?
Li Xinkai and Huang Tao both knew very well that once the military commander made up his mind to fight at such a critical moment, he would often be unshakable, and Li Songtao, who had assumed the post of chief of staff of the newly formed First Division, seemed to have read something from Zhang Xuewu's move of changing his tactical arrangements.
Walking out of the command headquarters, Li Xinkai handed Li Songtao a cigarette, took a deep breath and said: "The division has always been unpredictable in the use of soldiers, and I am really incapable of grasping the tactics and strategic intentions of the division, and this chief of staff is really unqualified!" Director Li might as well say it bluntly, you have also seen our new First Division, they are all people with straight surnames, and they are not used to hiding them. ”
Li Songtao smiled and said: "Since the senzu asked, I have the courage to speculate on the intention of the division, and since the Meiji Restoration, the empire has set out to establish a unified army for the emperor, and issued a conscription order to divide the country into six military districts, responsible for conscription and local garrisons. In 1888, the Sixth Division of the Army conscripted by Kumamoto was established, and the first division commander, Lieutenant General Yamachi Motoji, had more than 10,000 soldiers. From the First Sino-Japanese War to the invasion of the three northeastern provinces to attack Rehe, the iron hooves of the Sixth Division have set foot on our Chinese soil five times! The Sixth Division can be called the most tenacious spirit of the army! ”
Li Songtao took a puff of smoke and said: "The intention of the division's move is probably to fight its strongest, the enemy's sixth division is the only unit in the army that has not yet fought with our army this time, except for the 16th division, it is bound to be arrogant for a while, and our army's purpose is to shock the enemy's courage, use street fighting to consume a large number of the army's vital forces, let the army enter the city, their heavy artillery will lose its role, and our light weapons firepower superiority will be brought into play, this is a move to make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses." ”
Li Xinkai glanced at Huang Tao beside him and nodded, patted Li Songtao on the shoulder and said, "It's really your kid, I scrape the wall and have a can in my bag, you can eat it when you stay up late and are hungry when you stay up on duty at night!" ”
After Li Xinkai left, Li Songtao was slightly stunned, and then exhaled a long breath, he knew that he was finally officially recognized by this collective!
