Chapter 99: Total Annihilation of Kunisaki Detachment (II)
On the Japanese attack position, Yuichi Nagano was firing at a captain's subordinates, because the captain of his 1st Brigade had died heroically in the roundabout battle just now, and he died very miserably, first by a heavy machine gun bullet through the chest, and after falling, he unfortunately stepped on a mine, and was blown apart, like a corpse of five horses.
roared angrily, until the captain squadron leader in front of him was swollen like a pig's head, and Yuichi Nagano could vent his aggrieved anger, and he forced himself to calm down under the persuasion of Tetsujiro Yamada.
"Nagano-kun, now is not the time to hold accountable, the Shina people are obviously more difficult to deal with than we expected, not only have they set up minefields in the east of the city, both in the north and south of the city, but according to the report of the roundabout troops, the firepower of the defenders in the south and north of the city is quite strong, at least no less than dozens of light and heavy machine guns, so the failure of the roundabout attack is understandable!" Tetsujiro Yamada patiently persuaded.
Yu Nagano's face turned blue with anger, since the 3rd Infantry Brigade was ambushed by the Dragon's Tooth Task Force in Dangtu and wiped out all the troops, his 11th Infantry Wing has been deflated, not only has it lost another cavalry squadron, but now the captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade has also been killed.
But he didn't even hurt a single hair of the enemy, Rao is Nagano Yuichi, an old devil with quite good military literacy, is also a little difficult to self-control, if it weren't for Yamada Tetsujiro on the side of the patient persuasion, he might have ordered the whole army to assault and fight to the death with the Wuhu Zhina army.
After all, Noboru Kunisaki was captured and the headquarters of the Kunisaki detachment was completely wiped out, and he, as one of the two main wing captains, had an unshirkable responsibility!
Fortunately, the 41st Infantry Wing has not suffered much losses except for one cavalry, the main force still exists, and they still have a chance to win.
Taking a few deep breaths of cold air, Yuichi Nagano finally calmed down.
said to Tetsujiro Yamada: "Yamada-kun, it's me who lost my temper!" Please forgive me! ”
Tetsujiro Yamada waved his hand and said, "None of this matters, Nagano-kun, you have always been resourceful, where should we go next?" ”
Yuichi Nagano glanced at Wuhu City from afar and said, "Keep attacking!" ”
"Still going to attack? There are less than 5,000 people left in the two main wings of you and me, and Wuhu has fallen into the hands of the Chinese people, this is our forward base, and all the supplies in it have become the trophies of the Chinese army, and the ammunition and supplies we carry cannot fight for a long time!
What's more, the Chinese people have set up an astonishing number of minefields on the periphery, this battle is extremely dangerous, the most important thing is that we still don't know the number of the enemy in front of us, the strength of the troops, in my opinion, or change to besiege, send a telegram to the Central China Front Headquarters and the 10th Army Headquarters for help! ”
"This is indeed the safest way, but have you thought about it, Yamada-kun, even if you wait for reinforcements, you and I can't escape the blame? When the time comes, it will become a stepping stone for others to build up their military exploits!
As you said, we still have nearly 5,000 troops, and you must know that our division commander, General Seishiro Itagaki, can sweep away hundreds of thousands of such armies in North China with only half a division! As long as you and I work together, we will definitely be able to turn the situation around, win this battle, and recapture Wuhu City! Yuichi Nagano said Top Gun.
"Then Nagano-kun, do you have any good solutions? Should we attack from that side? Tetsujiro Yamada was a little moved by what Yuichi Nagano said, and he was not willing to give up lightly unless he had to, which would mean that they would have to wait for a military court.
"Attacking from the east of the city again, the Shina people deployed so much light and heavy firepower in the other two directions, and there was no movement outside the east gate, I originally set a trap for the imperial army to drill in, but they laid a minefield.
Hung General Kunisaki on the head of the city again, now think about it carefully, it should be just a bluff, after we were hit by a minefield, we mistakenly thought that they had already prepared at the east gate, so we went to detour to the south and north of the city, but I don't know, where is the heavy defense zone of the defenders of China, so my 1st captain will die,
The two roundabout troops will return with a fiasco, and the Chinese people's art of war is cloudy, and the truth is real, and the truth is false, which is the truth.
Moreover, the Chinese have laid minefields in three directions, so it is absolutely impossible to lay out this minefield too large, so how many mines do you need? So we only need to pass through the minefield at the east gate of Guò, and we should be able to directly attack the county seat! And I now have a good way to sweep away the minefields of the Shina people quickly and easily! Yuichi Nagano said with a smug smile.
"Oh? What's the best way to do it? Tetsujiro Yamada asked in surprise.
"Order our two artillery squadrons to aim their guns at the minefield of the people of China and bombard it fiercely, so that the mines planted by the people of China can be detonated and the minefield can be cleared! Then, send our main infantry to take advantage of the situation to launch an attack and seize the east gate in one fell swoop! As long as the imperial army enters the city, the victory in this battle will be ours! Yuichi Nagano said proudly.
"Yo Xi! This method is very good, Nagano-kun is really resourceful! I admire! Tetsujiro Yamada's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded happily in praise.
"Haha! Yamada-kun has won the prize. Yuichi Nagano said modestly on the surface, but he was quite complacent in his heart, and he was very proud of his plan.
Soon, the two Japanese artillery squadrons, which had just formed artillery positions, received orders and began shelling.
At the head of the East City Gate, Qiao Youhua and Ma Biao went and returned with some soldiers, only to see that the minefield area had been shrouded in artillery fire, thick smoke, fires were everywhere, and violent explosions came out one after another from time to time.
Ma Biao was a little surprised and said: "Boss, the little devil is really smart enough, I want to use this trick to clear mines!" If we hadn't been prepared, they would have calculated it! ”
Qiao Youhua's face was as cold as ever: "Hmph, the little devil is killing himself, notify the artillery unit, and immediately measure the specific position of the devil's artillery position according to the daily average artillery fire trajectory, and then all the 75mm mountain guns will fire together, and smash his son of a bitch for me!" ”
"Okay!" Ma Biao was about to turn around and go down to the city in response, when Qiao Youhua suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute, add one, after killing the little devil's artillery position, the artillery turned the muzzle and launched the most fierce artillery attack on the Japanese army's sortie position."
In addition, Haidong and Wu Ming were informed that after the second round of artillery bombardment by our army, they would immediately return to the rear of the Japanese army from the south of the city, and cooperate with the main force to launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese army!
Bring in all the defenders in the direction of the other three city gates, and attack them all! ”
"All sorts?" Ma Biao couldn't keep up with Qiao Youhua's train of thought.
"The fighter plane is fleeting, don't ink and go quickly!" Qiao Youhua urged coldly.
"Yes!" Ma Biao no longer hesitated, and immediately rushed towards the city.
After Qiao Youhua sensed the Japanese army's offensive intentions, he immediately keenly captured one of these rare fighters.
First of all, the Japanese army destroyed the minefield at the east gate with artillery, obviously to continue the strong attack from here, once the Japanese artillery bombardment stopped, the main force of a large group of devils would immediately attack and launch the most rapid attack towards the east gate.
And Liu Jianhua and other 600 veterans who have been lurking in the trench fortifications under the city will definitely be able to give the devil's attacking troops a head-on blow.
At the same time, the own artillery in the city should also launch a surprise attack on the Japanese artillery position, these two changes are enough to surprise the commander of the little devil and catch him off guard.
The Japanese attacking force was bound to be defeated, at this time, the enemy's artillery positions were killed by their own artillery and then bombarded the main force of the Japanese infantry, at this time, Qiao Youhua led all the officers and men to take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, Jiang Haidong and Wu Ming led the cavalry to launch a surprise attack from the rear of the Japanese army.
The Japanese army, which was attacked by the enemy at the beginning and the end and was shelled, would inevitably fall into chaos, and it would not be a fool's dream to take advantage of the chaos to defeat the remaining main wing of the Kunisaki detachment and even completely annihilate it!
Once this kind of fighter cannot be grasped, it will be fleeting, which shows Qiao Youhua's keen insight and excellent command ability.
