Chapter 583: Tiger Mountain Blocking Battle (1)
It's cool to look at it without ads!
Around the city of Jinzhou, fierce battles have been going on, and a large number of strongholds and fortifications of the little devils outside the city have been uprooted by the soldiers one by one.
At this time, not only the high ground of the water distribution pool in the north of the city was occupied by the soldiers, but in the afternoon, the Liangma Mountain in the north of the city was also occupied by the soldiers.
The South Group composed of the 9th Column has already captured strongholds such as Fort Hill and Nanshan of Hanwangdian, and is now attacking strongholds such as Dongshan of Lao Yemiao; The Eastern Group, composed of the 10th Column, has captured Xiaobauhinia Mountain, Guantun, Beidaying and other places.
It was the third day of fierce fighting between the two sides.
Outside Jinzhou City, a large number of strong strongholds of the little devils have been occupied by the soldiers, and the little devils outside the city are resisting stubbornly while gradually retreating into the city.
In the face of the fierce fire of the warriors and the large number of bazookas, even if the little devils had strong fortifications, they could not hold on, and they were defeated and retreated into the city.
Shenyang, headquarters of the Kwantung Army.
The battle situation in Jinzhou has been sent back here through the situation of telegrams, and the little devils are still relatively clear about the battle situation in Jinzhou.
The battle situation on the front line is unfavorable, and the little devils are in a bad mood, and their faces are relatively ugly.
The commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro, walked around the command hall with a black face, and in the past few days, Umezu Mijiro has not been in a good mood, and he has not thought about tea and dinner.
In particular, on the first day of the war, the Jinzhou airfield was destroyed by the 36th Army, the 2nd Brigade of Heavy Artillery, which was one of the strategic forces. It was also blown up by the 36th Army.
A series of blows almost made Umezu Mijiro breathless.
Although, at the beginning of the battle, Umezu Miji thought that he was mentally prepared that the strength of the 36th Army might lead to some defeats, but. After three days of fighting, his own troops suffered heavy losses, and basically all of them were defeated.
"Your Excellency, Commander! A telegram has just been sent from Jinzhou. All the strongholds outside Jinzhou have been lost, the troops defending the city have been retreating into the city, and the three divisions defending the city have jointly sent telegrams. Again request for reinforcements. ”
The chief of staff of the little devil, holding a telegram, walked in quickly with a serious face, stood up in front of Umezu Mijiro, and reported the latest battle situation in Jinzhou.
Hearing this, Umezu Miji was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "How about the casualties of our troops?" ”
The chief of staff of the little devil nodded, and said sadly: "Your Excellency, commander, our troops and the 36th Group Army have been fighting fiercely for three days. The casualties have already exceeded 30,000, and the casualties of the 36th Army may be only one-tenth of ours. ”
Ten to one casualty ratio!
A group of little devil officers in the command headquarters also looked miserable when they heard the words of the chief of staff of the little devil. I am worried about my future.
I didn't expect the combat effectiveness of the 36th Group Army to be so powerful, and with its solid fortifications, it actually played a casualty ratio of ten to one.
The atmosphere in the little devil command was very solemn, and all the little devils were silent with their heads down.
Long. Umezu Miji said slowly: "Send a report to the troops defending the city of Jinzhou, order them to hold Jinzhou, and order our reinforcements to speed up the march and reinforce Jinzhou." ”
"Yes! Your Excellency, Commander, I will send a report to all units at once! ”
The chief of staff of the little devil stood upright, bent down and saluted, and walked out of the headquarters quickly, obviously hurriedly sending a report to the various units of the little devil.
Tiger Mountain.
The fierce fighting around Jinzhou City has been going on for almost three days, but Tiger Mountain, which is more than 20 kilometers northwest of Jinzhou City, is quiet, and there is no gunfire here.
There are several hills here, and a large number of fortifications have been built on the hills, and the 6th and 8th columns, each with one infantry division, have reached here two days ago, and this little devil must reinforce Jinzhou.
Under the mountain, not only there is a railway through, not far away, not far from the railway, a kilometer also winds from the bottom of the mountain, straight to Jinzhou, if the little devil reinforces Jinzhou from Shenyang, Tiger Mountain is the only way.
Two days ago, the fighters arrived here and began to build a large number of fortifications, layers of trenches on the hill are clearly visible, a large number of fortifications, the fighters have already repaired.
On the position, quite a few machine guns have been erected one by one, forming a fire blockade in front, and quite a few 60-mm mortars are also ready.
Now, the warriors are waiting patiently, waiting for the little devils to pass by, and the task of the warriors is to block the enemy reinforcements.
On a hill close to the road, the mountain is densely fortified, with trenches, bunkers, machine-gun positions, etc., everywhere, and on the hill, several commanders of the 36th Group Army are watching the situation.
Although today is the third day, and there is no shadow of the little devil's reinforcements, the soldiers are not taking it lightly at all.
"Captain! We've been waiting for so long, and we haven't seen the shadow of the little devils, are the little devils taking a detour and not passing through here. ”
A major battalion commander asked his regiment commander a little worriedly, and the colonel commander was holding a telescope and looking carefully ahead.
This is the position of the 3rd Infantry Division and the 1st Regiment of the 6th Column, the 3rd Infantry Division has a total of six infantry regiments, and at present there are 4 corps in the blocking positions on the front line, and the remaining two infantry regiments are serving as reserves.
The colonel, holding the binoculars, looked at it for a long time, and then said with certainty: "The little devil will not make a detour, the little devil will definitely pass by here." ”
Hearing this, several commanders around him also nodded secretly, what his regiment commander said was completely correct, as long as the little devils reinforced Jinzhou, this is the place where they must pass, and the kilometers and railways from Shenyang to Jinzhou all pass through here, and it is impossible for the little devils not to go here.
However, the railway under the mountain has been destroyed by the soldiers, and the road has also been planted by the fighters with a lot of anti-infantry mines. Not only are there mines planted on the kilometers, but there are also many mines on both sides of the highway and the railway.
A large area under the mountain, including the railways and highways where the little devils must pass, has now become a minefield, a huge minefield, in which thousands of anti-infantry mines were planted by the soldiers two days ago.
The soldiers were waiting patiently, and in the distance, in the direction of Jinzhou City, there was a faint sound of cannonballs.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun has gradually set in the west, and it may only take two or three hours, and the sky will gradually get dark.
Just when many fighters thought that the little devil would not come.
A lot of observation posts have found anomalies, and the figure of the little devil faintly appeared in the distance, although the distance is relatively far, and the vision is not very clear, but the yellow military uniform of the little devil is more conspicuous, and it looks like a large piece of yellow.
"The little devil is here! Get ready for battle! ”
Many commanders, when they saw the appearance of little devils, immediately shouted loudly, and suddenly, the soldiers were in high spirits, and they entered their combat posts one after another, looking carefully ahead.
Some fighters, whose magazines had long been filled with bullets, checked them again, checked their AK-47 assault rifles again, and even took out two or three grenades on their bodies, unscrewed the caps, and put them within reach of their own reach.
Some machine gunners also carefully inspected their machine guns, and the ammunition drivers of machine guns also took out the chains of 200 rounds and prepared for firing.
On the positions on several hills, the warriors made their final preparations.
Now, the 36th Army, each infantry squad, is one machine gun, 8 AK-47 assault rifles, one sniper rifle, each infantry squad, a total of 12 people.
Each infantry company, in addition to the nine such infantry squads, also had an 18-man artillery squad armed with six 60-mm mortars.
Together with the rest of the transport squads, guard squads, communications squads, and other arms, the number of people in each infantry company has also reached nearly two.
This time, the number of reinforcements from the little devil is quite large, reaching two divisions, namely the 123rd Division and the 136th Division in Shenyang, two second-class divisions, and more divisions, which are still assembled in Shenyang and will reinforce Jinzhou according to the situation.
The strong combat effectiveness of the 36th Group Army made the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro, not dare to take it lightly at all, and sent reinforcements from two divisions at a time to reinforce Jinzhou along the railway and road.
It's just that the railway has been damaged, and the little devils who have been reinforced along the railway have gotten off at a small station several kilometers away from Tiger Mountain and are walking here.
The little devils who are moving along the highway are also mighty, and under the leadership of more than a dozen big trucks, a large number of little devils are running forward and following these trucks closely.
The vanguard of the little devils, an infantry wing has reached here, what the soldiers saw just now is this vanguard of the little devils, more little devils, it won't be long before they rush over.
Distance.
The 3rd Infantry Wing of the 123rd Division has reached less than a thousand meters in front of the soldiers' defensive line, a large number of little devils, a large yellow area, the little devils have slowly slowed down, and the little devils have discovered that on the hill in the distance, there are a large number of fortifications built by the 36th Group Army.
The commander of the 3rd Infantry Wing, Kiyoichi Miyamoto, had already jumped out of the truck he was riding, stood next to the truck, held a telescope, and carefully looked at the hills on both sides of the railway and the highway in front of him.
Through the telescope, Miyamoto Seiichi saw the situation on several hills nearly a kilometer apart more clearly, and the large number of fortifications on the mountains and the figures of a large number of soldiers of the 36th Group Army on the mountains were imprinted into Miyamoto Kiyoichi's eyes.
