Chapter 91: Battle of Mukden 12
"It's going to be a fart, the artillery battalion is important, let's go!" Liao Lei was furious and had no time to argue with Xu Sande, so he commanded heavy machine guns to suppress some of the Japanese troops who had turned back. At this time, the battle formation was relatively favorable to the Baitabao side, but fortunately, there was still a multi-company of soldiers left on the artillery battalion side, hoping to withstand the Japanese army for a while. The Japanese army in Baitabao Town had been caught in a two-sided attack, but the Japanese army fought extremely tenaciously, and under the inferior firepower and troops, relying on the instinct and will to fight, they actually carried the attack on both sides in a short period of time.
While the 7th Brigade had the upper hand in Baitabao Town, the Grand Official's House was already in an extreme predicament. At this time, the Japanese attack was almost fatal.
Boom Boom Boom .......
Six or seven Japanese soldiers crawling on the ground were wiped out by artillery, and hot machine gun shells swept over the heads of these Japanese soldiers from time to time, and the dust splashed reminded them that death was imminent, but these dangers did not stop the Japanese advance in the slightest, and soon more Japanese troops climbed from the ground.
Bang bang... A barrage of bullets hit, and the soldiers holding the grips of the heavy machine guns fell to the sky, and the Japanese soldiers who hit the enemy shouted even more frantically. Regardless of the burning of the cannon on the ground, the two grenadiers held the grenadiers in their hands, stepped on one foot, loaded and fired.
Rumble! The radius of the grenade fired by the Type 89 grenadier reached about eight meters, and the defenders centered on the explosion point were killed and wounded, and the two mortar gunners were also affected, and the shells that fell in the barrel brought a second kill, and the explosion was even more powerful than the grenadier canister.
"If you fight with the little devils, you must not let the artillery fall into the hands of the Japanese army." The soldiers present were like crazy demons, screaming wave after wave and fighting with the Japanese army in this small area. However, the Kwantung Army is the Kwantung Army after all, even if the Fengtian defenders have an advantage in firepower and are the defenders, but the night has narrowed the imbalance in the firepower of the two armies. When the artillery position was connected with 200 troops, and the more than 100 artillery pieces were sharply reduced to less than 50 people, the less than 200 soldiers brought by Shichiro Ishida still had nearly 100 people.
"Little devil, go die!" A soldier who had lost his legs in a pool of blood was hugged by a Japanese soldier as he pulled the grenade and grabbed the calf of a Japanese soldier abruptly as he pulled the grenade.
The Japanese soldier screamed and picked up the butt of his rifle and smashed the soldier's head, and a slight cracking sound of the skull was heard in an instant. After two or three smashes in a row, the soldier died no longer and the skull cover collapsed into a small piece. Blood flowed everywhere from the nose, eyes, ears. But the soldier's two hands still held his calf stubbornly, so that he couldn't struggle, and several Japanese soldiers who saw the danger planned to come to help, but when they saw this situation, they jumped to the side in a little panic and fell to the ground.
Rumble! The explosion behind him suddenly sounded, and when he turned around, the Japanese soldier was already dressed in tatters, covered in blood and looked at the dark night sky unwillingly, he would never have imagined that he came with the establishment of meritorious service and honor, but in the end he ended up like this, that is, several other Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were also apprehensive at this time, if every Chinese soldier was so determined to resist, where would the empire still have a chance?
"Kill all the Chinese army and destroy the artillery!" At the critical moment, the roar of the other soldiers and the strict orders of Shichiro Ishida brought these soldiers back to their senses.
"Let's go, let's go, tomorrow we will meet the main force to avenge us! Let's go! Liu Yuchun, who was in charge of the guard, yelled at the only forty or fifty remaining artillerymen behind him, and then rushed towards the Japanese army without hesitation.
IN THE BATTLE OF THE BIG GUANFANG, THE SEVENTH BRIGADE IN THE BIG GUANFANG ARTILLERY BATTALION 6 75MM FIELD GUNS, 7 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS, 2 37MM FLAT-FIRE GUNS, WERE ALL DESTROYED BY THE JAPANESE ARMY, KILLING 257 SOLDIERS INCLUDING ARTILLERY, KILLING 107 JAPANESE SOLDIERS, THE BATTLE OF THE WHITE FORT TOWER, 419 CASUALTIES, AND 303 JAPANESE TROOPS.
The next day, Jiang Li slammed this battle report on the table, if it is put in the eyes of the Guannei, this is already a good record, but now in the case of the absolute superiority of the 7th Brigade, 15 artillery pieces were destroyed by the Japanese army, it can be said unceremoniously, when the all-out war of resistance broke out, there were 13 75MM guns, which was also an extremely elite unit in the national army.
As for the relatively close wounds in the battle of Baitabao, this is also the reason why the Japanese army is attacking from east to west, and most of the machine gun grenadiers have been transferred to the big official's room, and the Japanese army in Baitabao has been regarded as an outcast at all, and it can still play this kind of record in the case of being attacked on both sides, it can be imagined that if it is a one-to-one situation, those mixed battalions with the 2nd Brigade of the Provincial Defense are so vulnerable in front of the elite of the Japanese army.
"If the command is ineffective, please punish the brigade!" Xiao Weiguo was ashamed, no matter whether he fell for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, after all, almost an artillery battalion was destroyed by the Japanese army.
"Pay attention to one thing later, the combat power of the Japanese army is very strong, is the artillery in place?" Jiang Li rubbed his forehead, whether it is a dozen artillery pieces, or those dozens of artillery pieces are very valuable, although there are hundreds of cannons piled up in the arsenal, but it is not good to be such a loser, it can be said politely that such a successful raid by the Japanese army may mean devastating consequences for an army of the national army, fortunately, Jiang Li still has the Fengtian Arsenal at this time, which is only a river away from the battlefield, and this hole can be filled, if there is no arsenal, or the battlefield is too far, the loss of more than a dozen artillery pieces, It can even lead to the rout of a divisional and brigade war.
"It's already being put in place." Xiao Weiguo nodded and said, this fork has something to do with Jiang Li's transfer. However, relatively speaking, the Japanese army's tactics were successful, and they successfully destroyed more than a dozen artillery pieces of the Mukden defenders. But in the general direction, 400 elite troops were lost, which was even worse for the Kwantung Army, which was already insufficient in strength.
From early morning to now, Jiang Li has broken through the history of the Northeast Army, and has thrown most of the heavy firepower and elite forces of the division into the front of Sujiatun. IN ONE FELL SWOOP, 27 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS, 26 75MM FIELD GUNS, AND 36 150MM MORTARS, 60,82MM MORTARS WERE ALSO AS MANY AS NEARLY 100 SCATTERED AMONG THE INFANTRY IN THE SMALL SUJIATUN AREA.
"The power and deterrence of artillery lies in the concentrated use, and after seeing the effect, you will feel that it is worth the money to make such a big battle." Jiang Li sighed, after this battle of Mukden, I don't know if there will be a chance to put on such a luxurious lineup on a narrow regional battlefield in the future, even if there is, it will not have enough shells to wield like this war, and more than 20,000 shells will be destroyed in a few days, even the current Japan will never be ashamed to such a point.
