Chapter 85 Persimmon to pick up the soft pinch
Hsinchu County, the general headquarters of Taiwan's anti-Japanese volunteers.
"All stand up!"
"Smack!"
"Sit down!" Wang Guorui said.
After Wang Guorui sat down, he didn't go around in circles much, and said directly: "Yesterday, the Japanese Third Division took the initiative to attack the position of our division commander Chen Liyan, but we beat it back. And now, since the Japanese army wants to attack us, we can't help but pay tribute to them, after all, it is not rude to come. I have already made a preliminary idea, that is, to draw up an operational plan, and this combat plan is to strive for the annihilation of a division of the Japanese army. It is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers, and we will directly annihilate a Japanese division, which will be a great blow to our morale, and the morale of the Japanese army will definitely plummet! ”
As the chief of staff, Hu Wei immediately asked: "Lord Wang, how many troops are we going to send this time to annihilate a Japanese division?" And the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is not weak, once they are attacked by a division, then there will be people to support them soon, so if we do not rule out troops to contain them, then we will not be able to conquer it. ”
Wang Guorui stretched out a finger and said, "Just one division, that is, the fourth division, let Zhu Yuan of the fourth division fight!" ”
This Zhu Yuan is also the commander of the Fourth Division, and he has just been appointed by Wang Guorui as the commander of the Fourth Division. The first division is personally managed by Wang Guorui, and the second and third divisions are the earliest and first batch of regiment commanders, so he is the least qualified, so this time let him go out to annihilate a division and regiment, that is also the best way.
"Just one division, how can it be possible to annihilate a Japanese division. A Japanese division, but more than 20,000 people, even if our firepower is fierce. It's impossible! Hu Wei asked.
And Wang Guorui said with certainty: "Don't worry, this time we are going to pinch soft persimmons!" ”
Soon, the 4th Division began to prepare, and then began to adjust the theater of operations according to the previously arranged Japanese army defense map. And Wang Guoruitongguò lurked in the Japanese army, the Ming Yuan Shi Erlang obtained the full set of battle plans and troop deployment maps of the Japanese army, so Wang Guorui easily chose an attack target, and then began to prepare as a breakthrough. And the Fourth Division led by Zhu Yuan began to exchange defense areas with the First Division directly under Wang Guorui, and then prepared for the Fourth Division to start this attack on the enemy. And everyone doesn't understand. Why just let one division be responsible for the total annihilation of one division of the Japanese army, this is simply an impossible task. The Japanese army in one division has 28,000 people, while Wang Guorui's division here is only 15,000 people. Even if Wang Guorui's firepower is more intensive, it will be useless! In this trench warfare, your firepower is fierce, but can you have an advantage over the defenders? So this one is very puzzling. But the order from above has already come down. Everyone had to comply. And the next thing is to attack in the face of the enemy.
"Opposite us is the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army, and our goal this time is to completely annihilate the Fourth Division, are you ready?" Zhu Yuan asked.
"Yes!" The officers of the Fourth Division said together, although everyone didn't know why Wang Guorui asked the Fourth Division to hit the stone with an egg, but this was an order, but it had to be carried out.
Soon, the soldiers of the Fourth Division also began to follow the methods taught by Wang Guorui. The method of geotechnical excavation was adopted. They began to dig through their trenches, and then they kept looking forward. And this tactic is to constantly extend their trenches into no man's land. Then you can let your own forces rush along the trenches. And this hand, the Japanese army did not learn, just now the Japanese army stupidly started from the ground to attack the no-man's land, isn't this looking for death? I have to say that the Japanese army was pressed and fought all the way by Wang Guorui, and it was not without reason. Because the Japanese army only learned new tactics from Wang Guorui after suffering a loss every time, but Wang Guorui was able to figure out a way to crack it immediately. Who made Wang Guorui a later generation, he has a certain understanding of this kind of trench warfare during World War I. Don't look at the fighting methods of trench warfare in later generations, but these are the lessons learned from the countless battles between the Allies and the Central Powers in World War I, and then the sacrifice of countless soldiers. But now it is directly used by Wang Guorui to deal with the Japanese army who "study" with them, and the Japanese army will inevitably pay a lot of "tuition" for this.
And the 4th Division of the Japanese Army was not without soldiers who found that Wang Guorui's 4th Division began to excavate towards them, but the soldiers on the front line were also talking about it.
"Matsushita-kun, should we report to the authorities that the enemy has dug trenches towards us?" Someone asked.
And that Panasonic immediately said, "You are stupid! If we report it then, won't it just be for our superiors to let us beat them? Are these Chinese armies so easy to fight? Two days ago, the 3rd Division dispatched two wings to attack, but the battle started in less than half an hour, that is, it lost more than 3,000 people! And those people have no losses at all, and we can't beat these people. Therefore, we should not be smart and take the initiative to report. If we report, then we will definitely attack as the first echelon. ”
"I sue you, you are a recruit, but for the sake of us all from Osaka, I sue you for a rule of our Fourth Division. Then our 4th Division has three 'don'ts'. Do not pay for unnecessary sacrifices, do not participate in unreasonable battles, and do not pursue the enemy who is desperate. Think about it, if we are allowed to charge on the front line, then we will not have to pay a lot of unnecessary sacrifices? And when we came to Taiwan this time, we obviously kicked the iron plate, and this is not participating in an unreasonable battle. Not only is the battle unreasonable, but even this war is unreasonable. So these battles, we can not participate in it or not. And this war is already two of the three don'ts, so we must not fight against these people head-on, otherwise we won't have good fruit to eat! ”
And after listening to the words of the Panasonic veteran, the recruits of the Fourth Division also began to show a deep expression. And he obviously agreed with this statement, thinking that this time he came to Taiwan to fight, An was completely a huge mistake, and he came here not to look for death? Originally, if it was like those soldiers in the Manchu Dynasty, it was not impossible to try to fight. But now it is obvious that the Chinese army in Taiwan is a huge iron plate, even an iron wall, so they will not be stupid to take the initiative to attack!
"Report to the division commander, we are less than five hundred meters away from the trench of the fourth division of the Japanese army!" Immediately a soldier reported.
"Okay, order the submachine gunners, charge at the front, and then suppress the Japanese with fire. Mortars rushed to suppress enemy fire and could not make them raise their heads. Zhu Yuan said.
"Da! Da! Da! Da! ……”
Mortars began to fire, and began to explode near the Japanese trenches. And these Japanese troops of the Fourth Division were not able to raise their heads at all, and they all hid in the trenches and shrunk their heads.
"Fourth Division, rush!" Wang Guorui's Fourth Division immediately rushed to charge after an order was given.
"Rush!"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
A series of explosions began to explode in the direction of the Japanese army, and Wang Guorui's soldiers began to charge, but they still insisted on charging according to the battle formation, and they were not too fast.
"What's going on? Why is the firepower of the Japanese army so poor? ”
Many people began to feel that something was wrong, why was the firepower of these Japanese troops in front of them so poor. You must know that this is a position defended by a division of the Japanese army, but the firepower of the Japanese army seems to be less than a brigade on the whole. Such sparse firepower is dispersed throughout the division, and it is nothing.
"Anyway, everyone charge me faster! Submachine gun cover! ”
"Dada......"
The soldier with the Stern submachine gun charges at the front, and the submachine gun in his hand can be used as cover for the soldier when charging. In the absence of a light machine gun, this kind of submachine gun, although it has a relatively short range, can also be used as a cover for a certain range.
"We are less than 200 meters from the trench, why don't the Japanese shoot? Are they a division or not, why do I only have about one and a half brigades of firepower? Zhu Yuan, the commander of the Fourth Division, was also surprised.
The soldiers of the Fourth Division soon charged within the range of the Japanese army, but the firepower of those Japanese troops was surprisingly sparse, and the damage to the Fourth Division was not great, and the casualties paid by the Fourth Division were also very low. Many veterans of the Fourth Division felt that these Japanese troops were different, and their marksmanship was so stinky. The firepower is sparse, and the marksmanship is so stinky, this is simply unimaginable. The Fourth Division paid less than 100 men, and it actually charged in front of the Japanese trenches, and the process went smoothly for everyone to believe.
"Throw a grenade!"
Although it felt that these Japanese soldiers were different, according to the principle of carefully sailing the 10,000-year-old ship, Wang Guorui's troops still began to throw grenades into the Japanese trenches in accordance with the tactics of the battle.
"Boom!" A grenade exploded, and several Japanese soldiers were blown away.
"Run!" The Japanese soldiers began to chant one after another.
Soon, the 4th Division occupied the first trench of the Japanese army, and the process was very smooth, and they paid less than 150 casualties. This is very small compared to the Japanese army's attack on their own side, and this also makes the officers and men of the Fourth Division realize the difference of these Japanese Fourth Divisions.
"Hahahaha, I really didn't expect that this Fourth Division is actually a soft persimmon, it is really a war feat sent by God, give me a hard pursuit!" Zhu Yuan shouted. (To be continued......)
