691 Mobility Advantage
The first brigade of the Japanese army was completely annihilated, and the brigade commander Yamaki Shinnan committed suicide, and before committing suicide, he led his subordinates to burn the military flag of the first brigade and regiment, and did not let this sacred relic of the Japanese army fall into the hands of the Huaxia army.
The First Brigade, the entire brigade of more than 5,000 people, except for a few dozen people who fled, the rest were all turned into corpses by the plundered artillery vehicles.
These dozens of people fled to Changli in embarrassment, and Changli at this time was the station of the first division of the Japanese army, and the troops who assisted the Qing army in breaking through Changli were the first division.
In the subsequent Russo-Japanese War, the First Division, as the elite of the Japanese army, should have been regarded by the General Headquarters as the vanguard of the war against Russia, but the Japanese High Command had some other considerations, that is, Japan was worried that China would take advantage of the war between Japan and Russia to directly attack Shengjing and eat Japan and Russia together, so the Japanese High Command ordered the First Division to stand still and guard against the attack of China.
During the entire Russo-Japanese War, the 1st Division did not participate in the battle, which already made the Japanese soldiers of the 1st Division hungry and thirsty, so they immediately launched a massacre after the capture of Changli.
The reason why the Japanese soldiers repeatedly slaughtered the city was not unrelated to the concept of the Japanese commanders, who believed that only killing, robbery and rape could inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers, so after they broke through the cities of Huaxia, they began to rape and plunder, and did all kinds of evil, of course, this also laid the groundwork for Lin Fei's future revenge.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers fled to Changli and told the news of the disastrous defeat of the 1st Brigade to the commander of the 1st Division, Mountain Genji.
Mountain Genji is a famous Japanese general in the era of Lin Fei, advocating martial arts since childhood, violent temperament, because he was blind in one eye when he was a child, so he is called "one-eyed evil dragon", during the Sino-Japanese War, it was he who broke through Lushun and connived at his subordinates to launch the world-shocking "Lushun Massacre", resulting in more than 20,000 people being killed, and countless women were gang raped.
From Changli to the assembly place of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army, there was no telephone line connection, because Yamachi Genji was a relatively old-fashioned officer, and compared with the unstable telephone line (the Japanese telephone line was not supported by a steel core, and it was easy to be damaged due to external forces, and the telephone line of the Huaxia Army did not have this problem), he believed in the cavalry who sent the message on horseback.
Seeing that dozens of Japanese soldiers had returned, Genji Yamachi hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”
Among these dozens of Japanese soldiers, the highest rank was a captain, and the Japanese captain said sadly: "Report to the division commander, our first brigade and regiment, the whole army has been wiped out. ”
There were only two brigades in the first division, the first brigade and the second brigade, and overnight, one brigade was completely wiped out, and half of the entire strength of the first division was knocked out, which made Yamachi Motoji shocked and angry, and shouted: "Are the guys in the first brigade all rice buckets, why were they all wiped out overnight?" ”
The Japanese captain replied helplessly: "The Chinese pig uses a strange thing, it can fire shells, it can also shoot, and it is not afraid of bullets." "The Japanese captain did not say that kind of thing is not afraid of grenades.
Yamachi Motoji frowned, "There is something called an armored truck in the Chinese pig, what you encountered, is it an armored truck?" ”
"No, armored trucks have wheels, that strange thing has no wheels, no, it can't be said that there are no wheels, it should be said that the wheels are wrapped with a layer of steel bands, hard, pressed on people, and the intestines pop out in the blink of an eye......"
As the Japanese captain was talking, Yamachi Motoji raised his hand slightly, "Don't say it yet, come, sit down, and tell me what happened as it is." ”
Yamachi Genji instructed his subordinates to bring tea to the Japanese captain and let him sit down, Yamachi Genji's room is a Japanese-style room, there are no chairs, the ground is tatami mats, there are cushions on the tatami mats, if people sit down, they kneel directly on the cushion, in fact, this kind of kneeling is still learned from Huaxia.
The Japanese captain began to tell what had happened: "Last night, we launched an attack on the position of the Chinese pigs, and the positions of the Chinese pigs were very quiet, and we were very happy, and we thought that the Chinese pigs were defenseless, so we quickly approached their positions, but when we were about to reach the positions of the Chinese pigs, suddenly, a group of strange things jumped out from behind the positions. ”
"Those things first shot out flares, which lit up the night, and then they shot out cannonballs, and those shells were so powerful that every time they exploded, a whole number of people fell, and the appearance of those people was ...... It's so miserable, it's all over the body, it's like a broken sieve......"
"We shoot at them, but they're not afraid of bullets, and our bullets can't hurt them at all...... Oh my God, it's terrible, those things, it's like a devil leaning over, it's a demon......" The Japanese captain recalled the tragic scene of last night, and his spirit suddenly collapsed, and he was like a demon muttering about the horror of the plundering artillery chariots.
Yamachi Genji's heart trembled suddenly, how could my soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire, all brave and fearless, be scared like this by that kind of thing? Is that really that scary?
Motoji Yamachi waved his hand and asked the Japanese captain who had a nervous breakdown to take him down, and then ordered one of his subordinates to go to the other soldiers who had escaped and ask about the mysterious weapon.
The subordinates walked out, and soon returned to the front of the mountain Genji, and said helplessly: "Your Excellency, the division commander, our soldiers are frightened by that mysterious weapon, and they don't want to remember it. ”
Yamachi Genji was so angry that he almost fainted, and I was a dignified samurai of the Japanese Empire, and I was scared like this by the China pig, which was simply unreasonable, and Yamachi Motoji then ordered all the soldiers who fled back to commit suicide by disembowelment to thank the emperor.
Yamachi Motoji thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the China Pig has used a brand new weapon, this weapon is not afraid of bullets, and it is not an armored truck, it seems that it should be an improved model of an armored truck, there is nothing to be afraid of, order the Second Brigade and the Kamikaze Commando, immediately prepare for battle, set off tonight, and launch a retaliatory attack on the Shina Pig." ”
The kamikaze commandos, a formidable unit carefully assembled by Genji of the Mountains, were equipped with fifty American-made cars, the canopies of which were removed, and the personnel were free to shoot inside, and they could also use grenadiers to bombard enemy troops.
The wishful thinking of the mountain Genji was like this, using grenadiers to throw grenades at the invading artillery chariots one after another, and blowing up the invading artillery chariots with grenades, because the deserters were panicked, they did not tell the mountain Motoji that the invading artillery chariots were not afraid of grenades, and the mountain Motoji naturally thought that the grenades could kill the invading artillery chariots.
When Japan saw that the Qing Dynasty had formed an automobile army, it immediately purchased a car from the United States and formed its own automobile army, and the United States was worried that the backlog of a large number of cars because of Lin Fei's trade war could not be sold.
The Japanese kamikaze commando and the 2nd Brigade set off for Luanzhou, and on the way, they happened to bump into the scouts sent by Lei Guang, who immediately came back and reported to Lei Guang: "A large number of Japanese troops are coming from the direction of Changli. ”
Lei Guang was very happy, his next combat target was Changli, and he was worried that the Japanese army would dig trenches and play stubbornly, but he didn't expect the Japanese army to come out.
Lei Guang looked at the map and found that his troops were about 20 kilometers away from the Japanese troops at this time, Lei Guang thought about it and decided to give full play to the characteristics of the strong mobility of the armored forces and directly annihilate the Japanese army.
Lei Guang then formulated a battle plan, three regiments of artillery chariots, one regiment to the right flank of the Japanese army, two regiments to the left flank of the Japanese army, three regiments frontal assault, completely encircled the Japanese army, and then launched a war of annihilation, completely defeated the Japanese army, and then directly took Changli.
Lei Guang did not use the five-color sacred cow truck to carry the plundering artillery chariot this time, the reason is very simple, the speed of the truck is very slow, only twenty kilometers per hour, and it takes more than forty minutes for the predatory artillery chariot to get off the truck (the five-colored sacred ox truck carries two plundering artillery chariots at a time, and can only come down one by one, and before coming down, the stop must be released, the inclined plane is erected, and the inclined plane also needs special tools to reinforce, etc.).
It takes so much time for the Plundering Artillery Chariot to get off the Five-Colored Sacred Cow Truck, and if this type of Truck is used again, it will undoubtedly delay the fighter, so Lei Guang decided to directly let the Plundering Artillery Chariot launch an assault.
If the plundering artillery chariot launched a surprise attack alone, then even if it was discovered by the Japanese sentries, it would still be able to complete the encirclement, because the speed of the invading artillery chariot was 40 kilometers per hour, far exceeding the speed of the infantry running, and the Japanese army could not escape if they wanted to, and the only hope of escaping was probably the kamikaze commando.
As for the kamikaze commandos, Lei Guang is not worried, a group of cars are just a group of cars, and they couldn't help Huaxia's armored trucks back then, but now what can they do with the invading artillery combat vehicles.
At ten o'clock in the evening of the same day, night fell, the Japanese army sent cavalry, set up an observation post five kilometers away, and began to camp.
One hundred and eighty predatory artillery chariots rushed towards the Japanese troops who were camping like tigers, and the Japanese cavalry observation posts soon spotted the predatory artillery chariots, and they immediately returned to report.
However, the speed of the horse was not at all comparable to the invasion of artillery chariots, the Japanese cavalry was actually left behind by the invasion of artillery chariots, at half past ten o'clock in the evening, three regiments of the invasion of artillery chariots arrived at the encirclement position according to the predetermined plan, and at this time the mountain Yuanzhi received the "report that the Chinese army came to attack", seeing that a massacre was about to start again.
