Chapter 406: Catch and Kill
This time the Japanese army made full preparations for the attack, and transported a large number of heavy equipment, heavy machine guns, mortars, as well as infantry guns, mountain guns, rapid-fire guns, and so on from barges.
The clearing on the bank of the river was piled up all over the place.
The defense position of the Tomb Mountain and River is one kilometer away from the shore, and even a heavy machine gun can only reach it, and it cannot hurt anyone at all.
"Brigade, when will the cannon be fired?" Jin Yulai, the commander of the artillery battalion, hurriedly called the brigade headquarters first.
"Jin Cannon, what are you anxious about, wait for my order!" Luo Yufeng grabbed the phone and reprimanded him fiercely, firing artillery at this time can certainly destroy the heavy equipment that the Japanese army has transported ashore, but his artillery position will also be completely exposed.
As soon as the position was exposed, the Japanese destroyers on the Najiang River and the large-caliber artillery on the river gunboats would lock onto his artillery positions.
As long as there is one salvo, the artillery battalion that he has worked so hard to save will have to be finished.
The battle of a small group of troops is enough by virtue of blood and bravery, and the battlefield fight of a large army is a competition of the wisdom of the commander.
Especially if you don't know your opponent, take into account the killer moves that your opponent may use as much as possible, and sometimes, it depends on who can't hold your breath first.
Ushijima had already come down from the "River Breeze" and got on a gunboat, and it was getting bright, so it was not so troublesome to command, just use the flag.
The flag language is like a code book, it is a military secret, there are general, there are specialized, if your opponent has your communication flag, the result can be imagined.
Therefore, the flag language and the flag language soldiers are the key protection objects of a force, because only they know the meaning of the small flag waving around in their hands.
In the days when there were no walkie-talkies, the flag was undoubtedly the fastest way to convey orders, especially on the battlefield, if communication was interrupted and each other could see each other, the flag could play a decisive role, and even determine the outcome of a battle.
For the third landing operation, Ushijima Mitsuru decided to personally arrive close to command.
Ushijima is a pretty serious one. But a very conceited person, although the defeat of Yuxikou gave him a blow to the head and was regarded as a great shame in life, he did not clearly realize his mistakes. There is also a kind of contempt for the squadron in his bones, which cannot be changed by short-term hiccups.
However, Ushijima is indeed a qualified commander, but he has an opponent who does not lose to him, and this opponent has a more clever commander behind him.
Luo Yufeng was just a battalion commander before. At best, he can only command hundreds of people in battle, and the reputation of "Luo Maniac" makes people think that he is just a brave general who lacks any resourcefulness.
But in fact, his mind is not bad, and even compared to many high-ranking generals, what he lacks is experience.
Ushijima really wanted to use the heavy "equipment" brought ashore to lure out the opponent's artillery position, preferably the heavy artillery position of the 1st Honor Division.
Ushijima was authorized to open all information about the 1st Division of Honor to him, and he knew that the 1st Division of Honor had captured a wing of 24 heavy guns of a field heavy artillery unit. These heavy artillery pieces were only short-lived in the Battle of Nanjing, and then disappeared and never appeared.
These heavy artillery pieces are enough to equip a heavy artillery regiment, so this heavy artillery regiment is the most threatening unit of the Japanese army!
The fact that the aviation forces did not issue a trace of this heavy artillery regiment after several reconnaissance shows that the people of China attached great importance to it and knew that it was hidden.
Ushijima was keen to lure this heavy artillery regiment to light, and as soon as it appeared, the large-caliber naval guns on the two destroyers would take it out.
However, the opponent also seems to be patient. With such a good opportunity to attack, they actually did nothing, and watched them continue to transport soldiers and equipment ashore.
Luo Yufeng is not stupid, if there are not those two destroyers on the river. He had already ordered the artillery to open fire, but the two destroyers cruising in the middle of the river made him suppress the temptation in his heart. As soon as he gave the order for the artillery to open fire, his artillery battalion would be wiped out immediately.
The range of the naval guns was long and powerful, and the artillery battalion would withdraw even after the battle. I couldn't keep up with the reaction of other people's naval guns, so I could only hold back, ninja, and just watch the Japanese army go ashore.
Luo Yufeng's tactics against the enemy were to fight close combat and attrition with the Japanese army, and it was best to mix with the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army's advantage in firepower would be limited and could not be brought into play.
This is also a way to play, who makes their weapons inferior to others?
The Japanese army began to move, and there were five or six hundred Japanese troops ashore, and the first batch was probably a squadron, led by a Japanese second lieutenant, and began to come towards Tomb Mountain.
It's said to be flat, but it's still a little sloping, just not too obvious.
The Japanese artillery bombardment did not stop, and it continued to smash down on the shore, but it continued to face the depth, and all the targets that the Japanese saw and thought were valuable were within the range of their artillery.
The temple was also attacked by the Japanese army, and was set up as a headquarters for the fortifications of the river, and there were facilities in the air-raid shelter in the temple.
Regardless of whether the squadron has set up its headquarters in the Shifo Temple, it will be blown up first.
Luo Yufeng chose the Stone Buddha Temple as the headquarters, he had expected it a long time ago, there was no way, there was really no better location nearby, even if the headquarters was moved outside the Stone Buddha Temple, would it be possible to ensure that the Japanese army would not bomb it?
There are strong air-raid shelters and underground headquarters in the Shifo Temple, which can completely block the shelling and bombardment of the Japanese army, and the facilities are complete, and you can also observe the entire Tomb Mountain.
As for the Japanese bombardment, the Stone Buddha Temple is a commanding height on this section of the shore, as long as the Japanese army lands, the first thing to seize is the Stone Buddha Temple, which Luo Yufeng, who has fought for so many years, will not understand?
On the south-facing slope of the Stone Buddha Temple, there was the defensive position of the reconnaissance battalion, and Luo Yufeng made the worst plan, if he could not stop the landing of the Japanese army, he would defend the Stone Buddha Temple.
As long as the Stone Buddha Temple is held, it can hold back the advance of the Japanese army, at least a considerable part of their troops.
"The shells of the little devils are not as dense as just now, brothers, get ready to fight!" The commander of the second battalion, who was in charge of the frontal battlefield of Grave Mountain, roared.
"Yes!"
"Listen to my orders, prepare!" Shi Guigui, the commander of the second battalion, stared at the Japanese soldiers rushing up with red eyes, "Rush!" ”
With the order of the commander of the second battalion, hundreds of officers and men of the second battalion, which had already been prepared, rushed out of the anti-artillery hole, jumped out of the trench, quickly dispersed, and met the Japanese army in a straggler attack formation.
"The Chinese army, kill it!" The Japanese commander, who rushed to the front, saw gray-blue Chinese soldiers hundreds of meters away. With his head down, the cat bent his waist, rushing down like a tanuki, the command knife in the dancer's hand. Shout!
"Kill!"
"The people of China actually rushed out of the fortifications, stupid!" One of the Japanese soldiers in charge of the landing attack sneered contemptuously, how they were the opponents of the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire.
Even Ushijima was surprised, how could his opponent be a smart person, and he would drive out such a stupid thing. At this time, they should rely on strong fortifications to fight back, instead of rushing out of the fortifications and making such senseless sacrifices.
It seems that he has a high opinion of this commander of the Chinese army.
But is that really the case?
Obviously not, the second battalion that rushed down, the team became more and more sparse from the beginning of the dense, and even when it was almost time to meet in close quarters, there were more than one-third of the number left.
Gunfire amid. The Japanese troops who were attacking did not seem to notice this, they thought that the squadron was vulnerable, and they suffered heavy losses before they could touch the opponent in a charge.
Shi Guigui, the commander of the second battalion, rushed to the front, seeing that he was only forty or fifty meters away from the Japanese army, and when he looked back, there seemed to be a lot fewer brothers around him, and he immediately showed a shocked expression.
"Withdraw!" Shi Guigui gave an order, and the remaining officers and soldiers of the second battalion immediately retreated!
At this time, the Japanese army had already come up, and all of them were red-eyed. Rushing up with bayonets, losing a squadron in two landings, the Japanese commander was furious.
The Japanese Marine Corps, in particular, is considered the largest. Before they got ashore, they reimbursed a third of their troops, and they had to take revenge, so they chased after them fiercely!
Run?
Battalion Commander Shi ran back a hundred meters with the remaining officers, and they didn't stop running, lying on the ground and firing back.
"Kill!"
The Japanese advance lieutenant rushed up. It was only a dozen meters away from the position where Battalion Commander Shi and them had evacuated.
Suddenly, the Japanese second lieutenant seemed to have discovered something, and showed a frightened expression, he saw one bullet crater after another, and the blue-gray soldiers were lying inside, and the guns in their hands were aimed at the charging Japanese soldiers!
Bang!
The Japanese second lieutenant glanced at his chest with incredible eyes, fell on the way to charge, slammed his face on the ground, and stared at the boss with his eyes, he couldn't look at him.
There was a lot of gunfire on the grave hill, and the charging Japanese troops were hit like gourds on the ground by the sudden blow, and suffered heavy casualties.
The Japanese soldiers on the shore watched in horror as their troops were defeated and defeated, and they were defeated all the way, and they didn't understand what happened?
Ushijima stood on top of the gunboat, and through the binoculars, he saw this scene clearly, and his face was pale.
The people of China were so cunning that they quietly ambushed their soldiers in the bunkers formed by those craters by charging, feigning defeat and attracting the imperial warriors to charge.
When the warriors of the Empire rushed over, they suddenly jumped out of the crater and attacked violently.
Insidious and cunning, this reminded Ushijima of his three days in Yuxikou, and the style of the new 38th Brigade of the Chinese Army he encountered was almost the same.
"Yaga!" Ushijima scolded and almost broke his back molars, and there was a sweet taste in his mouth, and he actually bit off a piece of meat.
Spit out the blood in one gulp, Ushijima couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheeks in pain.
"Sir, you're injured." The adjutant wondered, how could Ushijima be suddenly injured?
"Xiu Dao is such a waste, order him to send a force along the river bank to make a detour and occupy the commanding heights of that temple." Ushijima ordered angrily.
"Hay!"
"Tell Yoshikawa, keep bombarding me, don't stop!"
"Sir, there are our soldiers ...... above"
"I can't care so much, I must take this position in the fastest time." Ushijima's eyes were full of gloomy eyes, and the longer the time dragged on, the more it showed his incompetence.
He wants to prove himself to General Shunroku Hata, to prove that he has the ability to defeat the Shina Army and defeat the Honorary First Division!
