Chapter 686: Night Battle of Juancheng (3)

"Up!"

A black shadow flashed in front of the Japanese sentry, and the attention of the Japanese soldier was naturally diverted, and another soldier suddenly rushed behind him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A mistake in both hands!

Gaba made a crisp sound, clean and clean.

The little devil sentry stepped down softly, this action was natural, and it was obviously not the first time he had done it.

"Squad leader!" The man who twisted his neck was the squad leader of the action team.

"Alright, follow me!"

The three red flares are clearly telling the little devil that I am going to sneak attack, but it is too late for the little devil to react, because this is the order to attack!

For a time, the gunfire of the Japanese forward positions was loud!

This was a premeditated and prepared attack, and it also managed to silently touch the Japanese army's nose and nose for a surprise attack, and the night gave the officers and men of the new 37th Brigade of the 1st Division the best cover.

Although the Japanese army was staring at the boss and used searchlights and other equipment, they did not realize that the enemy was already under their eyes and nose.

"Kill!"

Xie Chengrui also adopted the tactic of breaking through the surface with points, that is, whoever broke through the surprise squad broke through first, and the follow-up troops swarmed in, punched and rushed, and when they encountered resistance, they immediately withdrew, never fell in love with the battle, and then looked for the next breakthrough point.

This tactic is not primarily aimed at capturing enemy positions, but mainly on the destruction of enemy personnel and materials, as well as on demoralizing the opponent.

This kind of play, the Japanese army is very unsuitable, because the opponent is always slippery, not giving you a chance at all, but at the same time it brings you a huge cost of damage, you don't dare to chase, if you have a hot brain, chase over, then the unlucky one is definitely yourself.

This is where people are home.

What's more, the strength of others is not less than yours, and the combat effectiveness is not worse than yours.

Although it was said that the 372nd Regiment and the 373rd Regiment were the main attackers in the night battle, they did not use all the troops, only half of the troops.

The Japanese army crossed the river with only one wing, which had been partially eaten before, and its strength was roughly the same as the two infantry regiments of the new 37th Brigade.

So, this is also a relatively reciprocal contest.

Obviously, without the fire support of heavy artillery, the new 37th Brigade, which had good tactics, was able to outwit the Japanese infantry wing in the night battle, and in just a few minutes, the Japanese front was dashed.

The defensive positions they had worked so hard to build fell into the hands of the new 37 Brigade.

The brigade commander Takashi Sakai, who received the report, did not want to believe that this was true, and the heroic and invincible warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army were actually broken by the Chinese in the frontal defense!

It's simply impossible.

It's not impossible, but it's a fact, and it's still broken on the whole front, and the strong combat effectiveness of the 1st Division of Honor made Major General Takashi Sakai feel on fire in his cheeks for the first time. Spicy.

The telegram from the commander of the Tuhihara Division reminding him was still in his ears, telling him to be careful and vigilant, he didn't care, he knew his own troops, and they would arrange sentries and guards at night in accordance with the requirements of the operation.

He believes that this is enough, and it is by no means so easy for the Chinese to sneak up on themselves.

But now, the Chinese not only sneak attacked, but also counterattacked so sharply that they suddenly toppled the defensive front they had worked so hard to build.

The worst thing is that they are the attacking side, and it is impossible to set up multiple defensive positions, and once the forward positions are breached, there are no ready-made fortifications behind them.

There is only one way, retreat!

"Tuanza, the little devil has retreated!"

"Oh!"

Wu Jing picked up the binoculars and looked through the firelight on the battlefield, the Japanese army was really retreating, and the speed of retreat was not slow, it was a complete rout.

"Telephone!"

"Deputy Brigade Xie, the Japanese army is retreating, I ask for pursuit, this is a good opportunity, I will definitely be able to re-feed the Japanese army to the Yellow River to Wang Ba." Wu Jing said excitedly.

"Commander Wu, I also saw it, it's okay to pursue, but it's not allowed to cross the line of Gezhuang and Tongtang, understand?" Xie Chengrui's serious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, deputy brigade seat, Wu Jing understands!"

The artillery fire of the Japanese retaliation soon arrived, and the heavy artillery on the other side of the Yellow River launched a fierce artillery bombardment of Juancheng.

The front line collapsed, and an infantry wing could not hold a position, which simply disgraced the face of the 14th Division. Is this still the most elite infantry wing of the First Division in the Great Japanese Empire?

Kenji Dohihara was woken up from his sleep by his adjutant, and when he heard the news, he angrily tore up the telegram in his hand and scolded "Takashi Sakai" for being an incompetent stupid pig.

He has reminded him, how can he still be attacked by the Chinese?

That's not an ordinary Chinese GJ team, it can't be measured by ordinary standards, why doesn't he stop, and he's so careless, does it make people drive people down the river again?

The lessons of the distant mountains have been climbed, why didn't this Takashi Sakai learn a lesson?

"Order Takashi Sakai to hold the position on the south bank of the Yellow River, otherwise he will be like Yuanshan Deng, and he will cut himself!" If people are blocked on the edge of the Yellow River, they can't get through, and they can't retreat, then his reputation will be ruined.

Keep the pontoon bridge, wait until tomorrow morning after passing the load test, and the heavy equipment will cross the river, and at that time, no matter how powerful the 1st Honor Division is, it will be difficult to withstand the blows of its own tanks and heavy artillery!

The only armored unit in the hands of the 1st Division of Honor is now in Taierzhuang, although there is news that it has withdrawn from the battlefield, but it will take time to come from Taierzhuang, and this armored unit has also suffered a lot of losses.

Kenji Dohihara paid far more attention to the intelligence of the Honor First Division than any other general in the Japanese army, and it was for this reason that he was so cautious.

Never despise any opponent, even if the opponent is a straw bag, you must do your best.

Yuncheng, the temporary station of Leng Feng.

"Division, the new 37th Brigade called, the night attack was very successful, although the number of Japanese casualties was not large, however, they discarded a large number of weapons, equipment and materials in the process of retreating."

"Really? This is cheaper for us, doesn't the Japanese army always implement the strategy of feeding the war with war, and we are also poor, so we can only rob it from them, haha......"

"Deputy Brigade Xie did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but ended up on the line of Tongtang and Gezhuang, and quickly withdrew after breaking through the Japanese defense line."

"Jiang is still old and spicy, the Japanese army occupied the fortifications on the south bank of the Yellow River in our country, in a short period of time, it is difficult for us to break through, not to mention that the Japanese army's weapons and equipment are superior to ours. Entangled, we are out of disadvantage, see good and take it, good! Leng Feng said.

"How do I call back?"

"The two battles commanded by the old regiment commander have hurt the Japanese army, and the Japanese army is also roughly clear about our strength, so the next battle is not so easy to fight, and the Japanese army's heavy equipment is estimated to be able to cross the river tomorrow, so that we are completely at a disadvantage, and it is not easy to hold on for three days!" Leng Feng said.

"Master, what strategy should we take?"

"There are many rivers in the Juancheng area, although there are no high mountains, but the Japanese army's mechanized equipment is difficult to deploy quickly, we can only rely on the river network, layer by layer, to achieve the purpose of delaying the enemy's attack."

"By the way, where is the 17th Artillery Regiment going?"

"I'm coming here day and night, and I expect it to be there tomorrow." Long Yingqin said.

"Tell Regiment Commander Zhang Yingqi to pay attention to secrecy, we must not let the Japanese army gain insight into our movements, if the heavy artillery regiment can arrive tomorrow, then our grasp will be much greater." Leng Feng nodded.

"Yes!"

"Master, you can sleep for a while, there are only two hours left until dawn."

"I'm not sleepy yet." Leng Feng waved his hand.

Commanding so many troops to fight is very brain-consuming, especially the subordination of the troops is complicated, and it is not possible to think about it a little, and Luxi's battle is really not easy to fight.

Hankow Garrison Command.

I don't know what's going on, Sun Zhongren jumped on the coal truck arranged with him when he woke up, and his bones were bumped and scattered along the way, and he didn't stop on the road, and he arrived in Hankou at two o'clock in the second half of the night.

"General Sun, you've finally arrived!"

"Adjutant Liu, why are you here?" They were greeted by Ju Youlin's adjutant, who had been waiting on the platform for more than an hour.

"Deputy Division Commander Ju is waiting for you at the garrison headquarters."

"What's wrong?" Sun Zhongren did not doubt him, and got into the car directly with Adjutant Liu.

"You'll know when you get there, it's a good thing anyway." Adjutant Liu smiled, got into the car, and ordered the driver to start the car and return to the garrison headquarters.

Ju Youlin was indeed waiting for him at the garrison headquarters, in addition to him, there were also Wu Xiaoyun and Zhang Fengxiang.

"Brother Zhongren, you're finally here!" Ju Youlin personally greeted him at the door.

"Deputy Division Commander Ju, Director Wu, and Director Zhang, how do you ......" Seeing the three people who walked down the steps together, Sun Zhongren was a little surprised, is there something big wrong?

Although Sun Zhongren has the permission to read the battle report, the news will always lag behind, and this is specially approved by Leng Feng, otherwise, the confidential battle report is not something that anyone can read casually, even if Sun Zhongren is a major general personally issued by the government.

"Let's go, let's talk in the conference room."

in the conference room.

Ju Youlin took out a document of the Military Commission, opened it, and said loudly: "Sun Zhongren is hereby appointed as the commander of the newly formed 36th Brigade of the Honorary First Division, with the rank of major general. This order: Jiang Zhongzheng, May 11, 27th year of the Republic of China. ”

Sun Zhongren was stunned for a moment.

"Brigadier Sun, this is an appointment signed by the chairman himself, and from now on, you will become a member of my honorary first division." Ju Youlin smiled slightly and pushed the appointment letter in front of Sun Zhongren.

"Deputy Division Commander Ju, what's going on?" The Ren order that suddenly fell Sun Zhongren was a little caught off guard, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to lead the troops so soon.

"Brigade Commander Sun, you also know the situation in the fifth theater, the current battle situation has reached the most critical and dangerous time, last night, it should be said that the night before yesterday, the Japanese Tufeiyuan Division smuggled across the Yellow River in Dongkou, trying to cut off the Longhai railway line in the south, and counter-encircled nearly 500,000 troops in our fifth theater, the situation is already very grim, the division has been appointed as the front-line commander of the Tufeiyuan Division this time, commanding the Luxi Corps to block the Japanese army south, but we are not enough troops in the Luxi area, The First Theater also drew a lot of troops to rush to the aid of the Fifth Theater, so the situation was now very critical, and the troops could only be temporarily withdrawn from the rear to reinforce it, and the division seat personally sent a telegram to the chairman of the committee, suggesting that the left-behind corps of the Honorary First Division form a brigade to quickly rush to the aid of Luxi. Ju Youlin explained seriously.

Sun Zhongren understood, no wonder the hat of the major general and brigade commander suddenly fell off, it turned out that the battle situation ahead was urgent, plus Leng Feng's recommendation, otherwise, he would never have been able to lead the troops into battle so soon.

"Brigade Commander Sun, the Military Commission only gave us three days, and after three days, the troops must march towards Luxi." Wu Xiaoyun said seriously.

"Three days?"

"Three days is a bit tense, but this time it should not be difficult to set up a group based on the wounded soldiers of the original tax police corps and add some soldiers." Ju Youlin said.

Sun Zhongren nodded, if the wounded soldiers of the tax police regiment are reorganized into a brigade on the basis of this, this is indeed the fastest and most effective method, and it can also ensure combat effectiveness.

At least the wounded soldiers of the Tax Police Corps are all veterans who came down from the Songhu battlefield, not to mention the combat experience, they are all their old subordinates, and it is easier to command.

Far better than rushing to take over a force.

"Brigade Commander Sun, you can find me for the problem of troop equipment, I will try my best to meet it, in addition, since it is the main brigade, we will equip you with the weapons and equipment of the main brigade, if you have any requirements, just say it." Zhang Fengxiang is now in charge of the logistics support and liaison work of the First Honorary Division, and all the foreign affairs work of the First Honorary Division is basically through him.

When Sun Zhongren heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, the configuration of the main brigade of the Honor First Division was not much worse than that of the original Tax Police Corps, and the combat effectiveness of such a unit can be imagined.
