Chapter 248: The End of the 108th Division (1)
In late October, three well-armored Mongolian cavalry divisions reinforced from Hulunbuir broke through from Daqing into Da'an in Baicheng and took the place with lightning speed. The Yan and Huang Army had few cavalry divisions, only five, but each cavalry division was absolutely well armored, each cavalry division had two cavalry regiments, one motorized regiment, two artillery battalions, two armored battalions, equipped with about 400 military motorcycles, forty 80-mm cannons and twenty 120-mm howitzers, as well as sixty Dragon King C light tanks and twenty Dragon King B medium tanks.
The combat characteristics of the cavalry division are fast and fierce, and this is the most effective guarantee of blitzkrieg, with a sudden attack with lightning speed, and then with a powerful attack force to crush the enemy's confidence and defense. A cavalry division has such firepower, and the combination of three cavalry divisions is simply a rushing torrent, and along the way, the army actually found that with the same strength, it is impossible to defeat at all. The three cavalry divisions penetrated the hinterland of Songyuan in three directions with the force of sharp knives, and went straight to Qian'an.
That said that Major General Song led the 2nd Cavalry Division, at the beginning, he was just a small grassland hunter, it was Wei Chendong's wisdom and wisdom, so that he grew up in the big family of the Yanhuang Army, and finally became a general who led 10,000 people, in recent years, he saw the cavalry division grow under the leadership of the Yanhuang Army, at first the number was not enough, and the good horses were not enough, but Wei Chendong himself took the lead, through breeding or importing, etc., and finally got together all the horses of the cavalry, and then within a few years, Wei Chendong had to change his clothes again, and the first thing to change was the horse, With a more sophisticated breed of horses catalyzed and cultivated with a magic mobile phone, so many horses can be changed when they say it, this is not a general determination, but Wei Chendong didn't blink his eyes, a word, change. And after the outbreak of the 77 Incident, Wei Chendong once again gave an order, changed his outfit again, and changed it to the way it is now, in terms of firepower, the cavalry division can be said to not enter any division in the Yanhuang Army, and even many army-level units are not comparable, it can be seen that Wei Chendong attaches great importance to the cavalry troops, and several division commanders such as Yue Song know that Wei Chendong attaches great importance to the cavalry division, and his investment in this can be seen by everyone, so several division commanders feel proud at the same time, but also feel a great responsibility.
Along the way, the people of the places where the cavalry division passed, they finally saw the powerful army of their country, and this torrent of steel is the guarantee of strength.
On the morning of 25 October, Na Yuesong first used artillery to carry out a fierce bombardment of the positions of the Qian'an army, and after 40 minutes, 20 Longwang B medium tanks were the vanguard, followed by 20 Longwang C light tanks, and carried out a frantic assault on the positions of the Yue'an army. The Dragon King B tank with a maximum armor thickness of 110 mm actually made the general anti-tank guns of the Yue Army have no achievements, so that they can bombard a few guns are fine, the Dragon King tank rampage all the way, directly and savagely broke into the forward position of the Yue Army, and the combined light tank quickly wiped out the few remaining Type 89 medium tanks, the Type 89 of the Yue Army is known as a medium tank, in fact, according to its tonnage, it can only be regarded as a light tank, and the firepower and armor thickness are not even comparable to the Dragon King light tank, and it is naturally not the opponent of the Yan and Huang Army, which is more numerous.
Immediately, Na Song again ordered the motorcycle regiment to launch a fierce attack on the enemy's position, the pressure of the army was quite great, only one multi-brigade defender had to transfer the troops to this side, in order to reinforce the precarious defensive line, just when the two sides were inseparable, Na Song and urgently ordered the two cavalry regiments to quickly detour, straight to the right flank of the army, to give it a fatal blow, only two brigades of the army quickly collapsed, the Yan and Huang army broke into the city of Qian'an, and quickly attacked, in order to reinforce the direction of the motorcycle regiment's attack, the abdomen and back of the enemy, The main force of the Yue army was immediately dragged again, and finally under the attack of the Yan and Huang armies, most of the defenders of more than 8,000 people were annihilated, and the rest fled to Changchun and other places in a panic, and Qian'an was occupied by the Yan and Huang armies.
Although the city was destroyed a lot by the war, the people still cheered, and they followed the direction of the Yanhuang army's troops, and sent them far away, watching the soldiers recover the lost territory one by one. Almost at the same time, Buyeo's 30,000 Yan and Huang troops attacked Matsubara City, so that the enemy of Matsubara was threatened by the Yan and Huang armies of Buyeo, Da'an, and Qian'an in a triangular pattern, and the enemy was attacked on three sides, attacking two cavalry divisions of the Yan and Huang Army, and 30,000 infantry regiments of the Yan and Huang Army, and the army guarding Matsubara Castle was the newly formed 108th Division in August this year, but Shimoto Xiongya felt that it was a shame to retreat in front of the Chinese, and only the Great Imperial Army that died in battle, and the Great Imperial Army who was not frightened away, said that it would rather be broken than live and die with Matsubara City.
At the end of October, more than 50,000 Yan and Huang troops finally surrounded Songyuan, and now the 108th Division has no way to retreat.
Na Yuesong was appointed by the General Staff of the Yanhuang Army as the commander-in-chief of this battle. But before the Yan and Huang army attacked the city, somewhere outside the city, a long tunnel came out of the city, and hundreds of ragged people rushed out of it, although their spirits were tired, but their faces were full of excitement, wiped their dirty faces, and after gnawing a few mouthfuls of dry food, they went to the station of the Yan and Huang army. These people were immediately settled down by the soldiers of the Yanhuang Army, and Na Yue Song also personally met with Zhang Debiao, the leader of this group, who was a capable middle-aged man.
"Brother Zhang, thank you, I can't repay it", Na Yue held his hand tightly and said gratefully.
"Hehe, that general, my own brother can speak two words, I am the person in charge of the Songyuan region of the Anti-Allied Army, among the hundreds of brothers just now, there are also some brothers of the Anti-Japanese Federation, they all took the initiative to join in, in the past few months, the brothers have really suffered a lot, but it is worth it. Since the beginning of the 77 Incident, we knew that our army would fight back, so from then on, we began to dig tunnels, and we have been living in the tunnels with hundreds of us, and only sent a few people out every day to inquire about the news.
"The brothers have done a very good job this time, I must personally report to the General Staff, I can't let everyone forget the merits of the brothers, the reason why the Yanhuang Army can achieve the current results is inseparable from the people and the brothers who silently support behind the enemy," said Na Song, with a solemn face. Zhang Debiao's heart warmed when he heard this, and he felt that the hardships of the past few months were completely worth it.
"Then the general, our hundreds of people will be temporarily incorporated into the general's army, after all, we are familiar with the Songyuan area, and the general can take us with him when he attacks the city", Zhang Debiao looked solemn. Na Yue Song nodded seriously, now is not the time to be polite, with these acquaintances leading the way, this battle will be much easier to fight, and the casualties paid will definitely be much smaller.
On October 28, Na Yue Song issued an order to siege the city, first of all, eight 80 mm cannons and forty 120 mm heavy howitzers of two cavalry divisions carried out a fierce bombardment of the position of the Yue army, suddenly, the sound of artillery was like thunder, the sound shook the sky, the army invaded China for so long, and the army had never invested so many artillery at one time, Xia Yuan Xiong Mi heard it was also half cold, and his face was shocked, which was completely different from the information he learned about the [***] team, is this still called backward equipment? It's better than the armor division of the Imperial Army, yes, the equipment of the cavalry division of the Yanhuang Army is one of the best in the whole of Asia, and now, he is still facing two such cavalry divisions, so it's no wonder if he's unlucky.
After the sound of artillery, as a Mongol, Na Yuesong knew the attack power of large-scale cavalry charges, and the armored soldiers were almost not related to the surname of the cavalry, one was cavalry, and the other was open armor, and Wei Chendong had always emphasized the effective surname of the armored concentrated attack, so Na Yuesong did not hesitate to concentrate the armor of the two cavalry divisions together, and then chose a point on the flat terrain for a violent impact.
The steel torrent composed of more than 100 tanks was like a thunder beast, roaring and impacting the position of the army, and the poor dozens of Type 89 tanks of the 108th Division did not dare to respond to the battle for a while, and they came out from afar, but they wanted to advance and retreat, but the dragon king tanks of the Yanhuang Army ignored them, and rushed up to the target with all their might.
Now that the has been released, Xia Yuan Xiongmi naturally does not want to be beaten passively, and immediately organizes troops to defend to the death, and almost half of the troops are invested in this frontal defense.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Na Yue Song successfully attracted the attention of the Yue army, so he immediately ordered a division in the direction of Buyeo to enter a part of the tunnel first, wait for the attack order, and strive to break through the enemy at once and gain a firm foothold.
As of November 1, Na Yue Song had ordered the troops on three sides to attack the Yue army at the same time for three days, so that Xia Yuan Xiong Mi could not figure out where was the main direction of attack of the Yan and Huang army, so he could only reluctantly assign the troops to the three sides.
That night, Na Yuesong finally ordered a division of the Yellow Army that occupied the tunnel to enter the interior of Songyuan, and under the leadership of Zhang Debiao, the soldiers successfully entered one favorable position after another like old horses. With the entry of all this division, a great news also came to the ears of the Yan and Huang Army, and the intelligence officers in the city actually found out the direction of the command of the army.
Immediately, without saying a word, two regiments were divided to attack the headquarters of Xia Yuan Xiongmi, while the other regiments made a detour to attack the belly and back of the Yue army on the front line.
I don't know which side of the battle started first, and suddenly, the quiet night immediately became noisy, and many people were a little frightened when they heard the violent gunfire in their beds, but they were more excited, because they knew that it was their own troops that were going to come in. In the command headquarters, he couldn't sleep, and he kept studying the battle of Matsubara, when he was startled by a sudden burst of gunfire, and before he could figure out what was going on, the frightened guards rushed in to inform the headquarters that they had been attacked by countless Yan and Huang troops.
