Shuangmiaozi has become a defensive position of the Japanese army at this moment, and trenches, barbed wire, and machine-gun fire points have blocked the entire official road. Legions of Japanese dwarfs were entrenched in these fortifications. Even on the official road, there were a few Japanese soldiers guarding there with great fanfare.
"Chief of Staff, what are we going to do? Do you want to do it directly? Shi Tianchuan asked.
"How many people will it take to break through here?" Wu Haoxuan said coldly.
"According to the information we have received, there are only about 700 Japanese troops here. If an attack were to be launched, the battle would be resolved in half an hour at most with the attack power of the 41st Regiment alone. "Shi Tianchuan will hit. The 41st Regiment has a total of more than 4,500 people, dealing with more than 700 Japanese troops, isn't that still hand-to-hand?
"In that case, let's get ready to do it. Order a battalion to go around the back and block the back of these little devils. Once the fight starts, none of these little devils can be spared. A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Wu Haoxuan's eyes.
Since the Japanese have chosen to be the enemy of Jilin, this war will break out sooner or later. Rather than wait until the Japanese are ready to go to war, it is better to deal with several of the Japanese railway garrison brigades now. After all, Japan now has only six railway garrison brigades in Tohoku. The discontented division in Kanto Prefecture was only about 10,000 people. It will take time for the two disembodied divisions of the North Korean Army to advance into the northeast. If the Japanese were to mobilize and then attack, the Jilin Army would have more time to prepare.
"Chief of Staff, do you really want to do it? If we take the initiative to attack, we will completely tear our faces with the Japanese. Shi Tianchuan hesitated. These generals all know how powerful the Japanese are. I was afraid that if I started a war with the Japanese, I would eventually lose.
"Now it's ready to go, and I have to send it. Rest assured, we will definitely win this battle. Wu Haoxuan looked confident.
"Well, Chief of Staff!" Shi Tianchuan nodded, naturally Wu Haoxuan had made up his mind, so he was worth not persuading anymore.
"Come, send a telegram to the 1st, 2nd, and 5th Divisions, and if the Japanese dare to stop them again, they will attack immediately. In addition, when attacking, it is best not to let go of a little devil. Wu Haoxuan ordered.
"Yes, Chief of Staff!" The signal corps immediately sent a telegram and contacted the 1st, 2nd, and 5th divisions. The radio station has now been invented, and Wu Haoxuan has purchased a lot, and it has now been equipped with troops at the regimental level, which has made the command of the Jilin Army very smooth. With the further simplification of the radio station, after the weight is reduced, Wu Haoxuan also plans to distribute the radio station to the battalion and company level.
The 4th Division of the Jilin Army immediately began to move, and the 41st Infantry ** of the vanguard sent the 2nd Battalion to bypass Shuangmiaozi and prepare to encircle here. Nine 75-mm field guns of the regimental artillery battery also pulled closer to the artillery positions, and the muzzles of the guns were raised high, ready to open fire on the Japanese positions. The thousands of men of the 1st Battalion, which was the main attacker, also arrived at the forward position less than a kilometer away from Shuangmiaozi. Heavy machine guns and mortars had been erected, and in the event of an attack, they could immediately open fire on the Japanese positions.
The preparations before the attack of the 41st Infantry Regiment were still very fast, which made Wu Haoxuan more satisfied. It seems that the training in the past few months has not been in vain!
"Send a telegram to the instructor immediately, and ask them to send troops to take Gongzhuling and Changchun Railway Station." Wu Haoxuan then gave the order. Since they have already torn their faces with the Japanese, the Japanese troops stationed at the Changchun Railway Station and the headquarters of the Japanese Railway Garrison Brigade in Gongzhuling can't let them go. After these nails were removed, the Jilin Army was able to truly control the entire South Manchuria.
"Yes, Chief of Staff!"
With Wu Haoxuan's orders issued one after another, the entire Jilin Army took action. Although, the commanders of the various infantry divisions were somewhat panicked about fighting the Japanese. However, they had long expected such a day, but they didn't expect it to come so soon.
The Japanese troops stationed in Shuangmiaozi also seem to have discovered the anomaly of the Jilin army. The captain of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Railway Garrison, Tamura Chuichi Nakasa, came to the Japanese defensive position and observed the situation on the opposite side with a telescope.
"Yaga, is it true that this and that person really dare to attack the Imperial Japanese Army? I don't know what to do. Tamura Nakachi scolded.
"Your Excellency, there are tens of thousands of people on the other side, and we only have seven hundred, can we resist their attacks?" A lieutenant officer asked in a whisper.
"Smack!" Tamura Nakasa slapped the lieutenant officer in the face with a backhand, and he fell to the ground at once.
The lieutenant officer immediately got up and stood respectfully in front of Tamura Nakadai Osa, bowing his head and not saying a word.
"Yaga, you coward, how can those people compare to the Imperial Army of Japan? The Imperial Japanese Army was enough to take one as a hundred. Tamura Nakasa shouted arrogantly.
"Hey! His Excellency Nakasa was right when he said that the Imperial Japanese Army was invincible. The lieutenant officer who was beaten hurriedly said.
After the Russo-Japanese War, the self-confidence of the Japanese was obviously bursting, especially the Japanese soldiers, who were even more arrogant. They believed that even the Russian Army was no match for them, and that the strength of the Japanese Army was at least world-class.
"Koizumi, you go and warn those Shina people and ask them to evacuate Mukden. Otherwise, it would be a provocation against the Imperial Japanese Empire, and the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire would wipe them all out. Tamura Nakasa ordered.
"Hey! Your Excellency Nakasa. Lieutenant Koizumi immediately understood.
A few minutes later, Lieutenant Koizumi appeared on the position of the Jilin Army with two devil soldiers. Although, the heavy machine guns and mortars erected on the positions of the Jilin Army made Lieutenant Koizumi very nervous. However, he still had an unstoppable expression on his face.
Soon, Lieutenant Koizumi was brought in front of Wu Haoxuan.
"Shuangmiaozi is an exercise area of the Imperial Japanese Army, and the Chinese* army is not allowed to enter here. His Excellency Nakasa orders you to retreat immediately, otherwise it will be a provocation to the Japanese Empire, and you will be completely wiped out by the Imperial Japanese Army. After seeing Wu Haoxuan, Lieutenant Koizumi shouted directly.
"Heh, when did Shuangmiaozi become the territory of you Japanese? This is the land of our Chinese. On the contrary, you occupy the land of the Chinese and do nothing on our land. I warn you to evacuate the twin temples immediately. Otherwise, don't blame us for the attack. Wu Haoxuan laughed angrily. These little devils obviously only have a few hundred people, but they dare to resist the tens of thousands of people in the Jilin Army.
Against the rest of the Chinese Army, it might have been possible for these Japanese to defeat an enemy ten times their size. In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, wasn't a Japanese brigade able to easily defeat a division of the Nationalist Army? Of course, the combat effectiveness of the current Japanese Army cannot be compared with that of the Anti-Japanese War. Their opponent is not the poorly equipped national * army, but the well-equipped Jilin army.
Lieutenant Koizumi was furious and was about to scold. However, looking at the murderous intent in Wu Haoxuan's eyes, as well as the ill-intentioned eyes of the tall Chinese around him, he finally didn't say anything. After bowing slightly, Lieutenant Koizumi returned to Shuangmiaozi with two devil soldiers.
Tamura was furious when he learned that the Jilin Army not only did not retreat, but threatened them. He ordered the Japanese troops to be put into combat readiness, and at the same time sent a telegram to the command of the railway garrison brigade to report the news to them.
Tamura believes that the Chinese are just bluffing. They simply didn't have the courage to attack the Japanese army. Having experienced the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, he had long recognized these Chinese. The Chinese are all timid people, and in the face of foreigners, the Chinese can only bow their knees, let alone take the initiative to attack.
However, this time Tamura Nakasa was obviously wrong, and what he was facing was not an ordinary army.
Wu Haoxuan saw that the Japanese not only did not retreat, but also entered the position, looking like they were going to resist stubbornly. At this time, of course, he will not give the Japanese any more time.
"Let's attack!" Wu Haoxuan said coldly, and this order directly led to the killing of hundreds of Japanese troops stationed in Shuangmiaozi.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The 41st regimental artillery of the 9 artillery batteries of the 75-mm regiment opened fire. Orange-red flames flashed in the muzzles, and shells whistled towards the Japanese positions.
"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”
There was a sharp whistling sound in the sky, and the Japanese soldiers on the position looked at the sky a little blankly. They also did not believe at all that the Chinese* army would dare to attack them. In addition, they do not think that the Chinese* army will have artillery.
You must know that during this period, not every brigade of the elite Japanese army was equipped with artillery. Only elite field divisions were armed with artillery. The only heavy weapon of the railway garrison was a machine gun squadron armed with four heavy machine guns. How can those backward and poor Chinese be equipped with artillery? It's a fantasy.
"Shelling, hide!"
The junior officers and officers of the Japanese army shouted loudly at the top of their voices, and took the lead in lying down in the trenches to avoid the shelling of the Jilin Army. The rest of the soldiers reacted. It's just that it seems to be a little late.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The shells exploded on the Japanese positions, and one by one the fireballs exploded and swept in all directions. The violent shock wave directly lifted those unsuspecting Japanese soldiers into the sky, and the shrapnel fired in all directions wantonly harvested the lives of these little devils.
