Chapter 386: Offensive and Defensive Special Service Group (1)
There were only 800 people in the special service group, and even if the Yaksha battalion was added, it would be only 1,000 people when it was full, but it was these 1,000 people who blocked the attack of the main force of a wing of the Japanese army for two days and two nights.
The name of the secret service group has become more prosperous.
The commander of the Japanese army, the commander of the 23rd Wing, Okamoto Osa, was very depressed, how could he stop his squadron from fighting so well?
This squadron is not only skilled in tactics, but also has super willpower, especially the individual combat power of the soldiers, which is almost no longer below the Japanese soldiers.
Especially in marksmanship, in the past two days, more than 200 soldiers died under the opponent's sharpshooters.
Okamoto didn't know that the marksmanship of the soldiers of the Special Service Corps was actually not as good as that of the Japanese army, but with the Yaksha battalion, it was different.
The Yaksha battalion selected all the elite veterans who survived the enemy in Guanghuamen at that time, and Leng Feng picked people, so he naturally left the best, among which marksmanship is a very important criterion!
Therefore, although it is impossible for everyone in the Yaksha battalion to be a sniper, if any one is taken out and put in other units, it is all first-class and sought-after.
Therefore, Leng Feng was relieved to let the special service group and the Yaksha battalion join forces to block the Japanese army that landed from Wujiang Town.
The Yaksha battalion also lived up to his expectations, and in the course of two days of fighting, wounded and killed almost as many Japanese soldiers as the secret service regiment.
The two troops joined hands against the enemy on the battlefield, and they also secretly had a desire to compare.
As a result, only the Japanese army suffered.
Okamoto Zhenchen Dazuo is very angry, if it goes on like this, it won't be long before he can't hold on to himself, don't look at him now that he occupies Wujiang Town, but he hasn't got anything, he wants to be supplied without supplies, and he has no ammunition for ammunition.
They brought three days' worth of ammunition, and when they were done, they were gone.
Just when he was thinking about whether to slow down the offensive and consolidate some of the offensive positions in Wujiang Town, lest he not be able to hold it first, in two days, he asked Ushijima Man for support several times. If you don't have a soldier, why don't you get him some ammunition?
But Ushijima didn't say a word of except for him to insist.
Okamoto Town scolded angrily, how did he know that Ushijima was also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river. A sitting duck.
Until the news came that Ushijima was trapped and almost lost his life, the moment he received the news, Okamoto almost ordered to retreat.
If you continue to fight, there will be no support. He's running out of ammunition and food.
At this time, Shiro Inaba, the commander of the 6th Division, did not give up their lone army, and sent someone to transport a batch of ammunition supplies to them, but they were intercepted by the squadron on the way, and the two sides launched a fierce artillery battle on the river.
The Japanese gunboats, with their large tonnage and great power, repelled several gunboats of the squadron and successfully sent supplies ashore, but inevitably suffered some losses.
The addition of a squadron of soldiers finally made Okamoto's restless heart finally fall.
Once again, there is capital. Okamoto naturally did not slow down the attack, and early on the morning of the third day of his arrival in Wujiang Town, he launched a fierce attack on the position of the special service regiment almost at the same time as the 1st Division of Honor launched a siege on the 65th Wing of the Japanese Army.
The frontal pressure increased instantly, Xie Jiyuan could only go to the front line to command, fortunately, the Japanese army had no heavy artillery, no planes to help the battle, not even combat vehicles, but there were not many field artillery and infantry artillery, almost on par with the special service regiment.
Especially after receiving ammunition support, the Japanese army's attack power has increased by one cup compared to before.
A wave. Another wave of wave charges, if it weren't for the ample ammunition on the position, it would have been really difficult to stop such a fierce charge of the Japanese army.
"Tuanza, it can't go on like this. Our strength is inferior to that of the Japanese, and the first battalion has now suffered more than half of its casualties. Lieutenant Staff Officer Tang Pingzi said worriedly.
"Regiment seat, division headquarters telegram!"
"The Japanese army has reinforcements again?" Seeing the contents of the telegram, Xie Jiyuan's face became even colder, but the division headquarters did not consider their difficulties and sent them a supplementary battalion over.
The number of people is not much, though. There are only 400 people, but it is better than nothing.
The replenishment battalion came very quickly, in addition to the arrival of people, it also brought a large number of supplies to the special service group, again ammunition, and forty boxes of grenades, and a total of twenty light and heavy machine guns!
This is timely rain, the Japanese artillery shells hit very accurately, as long as the light and heavy machine gun fire point of the special mission group shows its head, it will be discovered by the Japanese army and hit by the opponent's artillery!
After two days and nights of fighting, the heavy machine guns of the special service regiment lost four, needless to say light machine guns, of course, the losses of the Japanese army were not less than that of the special service group, and with the reinforcements of the Japanese army, the firepower on the positions of the special service group was somewhat unable to suppress the Japanese army.
Although the new weapons were of Japanese type, the heavy machine guns were Type 92 and the light machine guns were crooked, and they were notoriously difficult to use, and their performance and maneuverability were inferior to those of the Maxim and Czech types.
But something is better than nothing, and the Japanese army on the opposite side also uses these weapons, at least it can be considered balanced.
Boxes of ammunition were transported to the position, and the morale of the officers and men of the special task force was suddenly high, and with ammunition, they had the courage to support it.
No matter how powerful the special mission is, without weapons and ammunition in its hands, it will not be able to defeat the Japanese army.
"The reinforcements of the Shina people are tired...... In the telescope, Okamoto Osa saw that the gray heads were moving in the trenches on the opposite position, and there were ammunition boxes loaded with ammunition.
"Have you figured out the number of the opposing branch army?"
"This ......"
"I gave you two days, can't you even figure out the number of the Zhina army, and you can't pretend to be a prisoner and ask?" Okamoto Osa was very angry, he couldn't complete such a simple task, was he still an elite soldier of the Japanese Empire?
"Hai, Your Excellency Dazuo, we tried to capture the other party's soldiers, but they all failed."
"Fail, can you fail to capture a soldier of the Chinese Army?"
The second lieutenant brutally drooped his head, and it seemed like an easy task to catch a soldier, but this time they had several unsuccessful attempts.
The other party was too vigilant, and they wanted to touch the sentry overnight, but the other party actually had a latent sentry, and before they could touch it, they were discovered, and two soldiers died for it.
After that, many sneak attacks failed to achieve this goal, and even rushed to the front of the position again, trying to catch a wounded soldier back, but the wounded soldier pulled the grenade in his arms.
Three soldiers were lost at once.
The many losses made the second lieutenant who carried out this task almost give up the operation, knowing what about the number of the Chinese army, it was still not possible to break through the opponent's position?
"Your Excellency, since we already know that the other side is the honorary first division of the Zhina Army, why bother to do this?"
"Baga, I want to know, who is the commander of the opposing team, and the commander of the Chinese army who guards the position so impermeable must not be an unknown person!" Okamoto was furious and glared at the lieutenant viciously.
"Hai, my subordinates will find a way." When Okamoto Osa was in Nanjing, he went from Shuiximen to Xinjiekou, which can be said to be murderous and ruthless.
Okamoto's luck was good, just arrived with a batch of ammunition and material aid, and another batch of reinforcements arrived, this batch of reinforcements came from Nanjing, not from the 6th Division.
Obviously, the front army command in Nanking saw that his landing on the Wujiang River was an excellent opportunity, an opportunity to insert a knife from the heart of the honorary 1st Division.
If they had not gained a firm foothold in Wujiang Town, it is estimated that the Japanese top brass would not have made up their minds to send reinforcements, and after two days and two nights, they would still be able to firmly hold the position.
This gave the Japanese army a glimmer of hope.
At this time, what the Japanese army on the Nanjing side wanted most was the honor of the 1st Division and the life of Leng Feng, and how much influence this team had on Japan's next strategy in China, forcing the base camp to change the previous strategy, and even His Majesty the Emperor began to doubt the combat effectiveness of the army.
It is necessary to wash away this humiliation with the blood of the enemy, and this is the consensus of the Japanese army in Central China.
The arrival of reinforcements made Okamoto ecstatic, and the number of troops in his hands exceeded 3,000 at once, and he also received orders from the upper peak, if there was a breakthrough, reinforcements would continue to come.
In addition to reinforcements, there are also four Type 92 infantry chariots, that is, bean chariots, with the wharf of Wujiang Town, can only transport bean chariots ashore, and other heavier chariots cannot go ashore at all, lacking landing equipment, which is also the reason why the Japanese army has not been able to transport heavy equipment for a long time, in this regard, the honorary first division does have an advantage.
Supported by priority heavy equipment, Okamoto commanded a squadron of Japanese troops, and a squadron launched a fierce charge against the positions of the Special Service Corps.
Under the cover of four infantry chariots, they rushed to a stop about a hundred meters from the position, and then the infantry behind them began to charge, which provided fire cover.
This style of play caused huge casualties to the secret service.
Okamoto was a cunning commander, he had participated in the siege of the city of Nanjing, and knew that the squadron had a weapon against the chariots, ******.
This thing they studied later, the raw material is simple, very cheeky, but it is very lethal to the Japanese-made 'thin skin' chariot, once it is close, it is waiting to deliver food to the other party.
At a distance of 100 meters, the thrown incendiary bombs could not be thrown at all, even if someone rushed out of the trench and threw it, the Japanese infantry behind him could calmly shoot and kill, not to mention that there were also self-defense machine guns on the chariots, and the soldiers who rushed out of the trenches were equivalent to live targets.
With the cover of the chariots, the Japanese could easily rush to the front of the trenches, and in less than ten minutes, a company would be beaten by less than half of them.
If it weren't for Sun Guangsheng, the acting battalion commander of the 1st Battalion, who saw the opportunity and ordered the company to withdraw from the forward position, otherwise the company would have been defeated.
"The little devil of ****, too cunning, ...... with a grenadier"
East and West Ge Town, the two corners of the industry have already understood their situation at this moment, surrounded on all sides, a squadron on the other side of the Qingliu River in the east is eyeing the enemy, and can cross the river at any time to attack, and there is a cavalry unit cruising in the west, as long as he has signs of retreat or movement to the west, he will bite it immediately.
Needless to say, in the south, the two armies fought inseparably, and the artillery fire was continuous.
To the north, Wuyi Town, although there was no movement, he knew that the north was the most dangerous.
He was surrounded, and the walls were closed!
The appetite of the Honorary First Division is too great, and he actually wants to eat his wing in one bite!
In the headquarters of the 65th Wing, the two horns of the industry squatted on the ground, and a pair of eyes were as red as a bull in heat.
