Volume 1: The Battle of Songhu Chapter 81 Deterrence

Shi Xianggong Temple, 58th Division Headquarters.

Feng Shengfa went outside to smoke, and as soon as he left, Zhang Jingming, He Lingxiao and Wu Jiguang no longer had any scruples, and their words became more and more ugly.

"A newly replenished brigade dares to hit Luodian, it's arrogant!"

"Hubris? I just don't know whether to live or die, and I really think that he can fight in the 19th Brigade? ”

"Can you fight? This time, let's see how he ends, hmph, he praised Haikou in front of the master. ”

"Master? I don't know what Junzao thinks, he has been promoted, why did he get an outsider......"

"Okay, okay, you two pay attention to me, don't talk about the commander behind your mother's back, the division seat is a famous general from the 88th Division, what kind of unit is the 88th Division? That's the Second Division of the Central Guard, if this is in ancient times, the 88th Division is the Imperial Forest Army in front of the emperor, can we compare? ”

Zhang Jingming asked others not to talk about the chief behind his back, but he was full of strange words.

Feng Shengfa actually didn't go too far, he could hear it clearly when he stood outside the headquarters, and he also knew that Zhang Jingming and the three of them actually deliberately said it to him, and the word faction has never been inseparable from the national army.

Although Feng Shengfa has Yu Jishi's support, it is not easy for him to subdue Zhang Jingming, He Lingxiao, Wu Jiguang and the four regiment leaders, everyone is carrying a head on two shoulders, why do people have to bow down to you? Of course, this little problem is definitely not difficult for Feng Shengfa, otherwise Yu Jishi would not have pushed him to the position of division commander.

The only thing Feng Shengfa needed now was a victory, a hearty victory.

Throwing the cigarette butt on the ground and stepping on it hard, Feng Shengfa took a deep breath of the fresh air after the rain, and then strode back to the war room, this time, Feng Shengfa did not wait too long, after about ten minutes, a communicator rushed into the war room sweating profusely, and gasped: "Shishi, Luo Luoluodian, take the ......"

There was a moment of stagnation in the war room, and then He Lingxiao and Wu Jiguang opened their eyes.

Zhang Jingming subconsciously took out his pocket watch, the hour hand was worth walking through four o'clock in the morning, and the 19th Brigade really took Luodian? How is this possible? How is this possible?! A newly replenished brigade can barely be regarded as a reinforced brigade, but it is facing two entire squadrons of the Japanese army, as well as infantry artillery and tanks, how did this battle be fought?

In the early hours of yesterday morning, a full regiment of the 344th Regiment fought so hard against an infantry squadron of small Japan, and small Japan did not have infantry guns and tanks, and as a result, in the early hours of this morning, the 19th Brigade only relied on a temporarily supplemented reinforced brigade and two mortar companies to defeat two infantry squadrons of small Japan with artillery squads and tank squads to assist in the battle?

The 344th Regiment is the main regiment of the 58th Division, and the combat effectiveness of the 19th Brigade is stronger than that of the main regiment?

Feng Shengfa's clenched fist quietly loosened, only he knew that his palms were already full of cold sweat.

Turning his head, Feng Shengfa's gaze swept over Zhang Jingming, He Lingxiao and Wu Jiguang's faces, Zhang Jingming looked embarrassed, He Lingxiao and Wu Jiguang simply avoided their gaze, Feng Shengfa smiled, and directly ordered the communication staff officers around him: "Staff Officer Liu, pass on my order, the 343rd Regiment immediately seize the Western Line Bridge, and the 347th Regiment will change its defense to Luodian." ”

"Yes!" Staff Officer Liu snapped to the ground, turned around and walked into the telecommunications room.

This time, Zhang Jingming did not express any objections, and He Lingxiao and Wu Jiguang also selectively ignored the fact that Feng Shengfa bypassed them and directly issued combat orders to the regiment commanders below.

Feng Shengfa picked up the telephone on the table again: "Pick me up Jiading." ”

After a while, Feng Shengfa's hearty laughter sounded in the war room: "Junzao, I'm Feng Shengfa, hehe, Luodian has taken it back, yes, but our division has suffered a lot of casualties, and the two security regiments you promised yesterday must be cashed in, yes, please rest assured, the people are in the position, and the Japanese army don't want to cross the defense line of our division." ”

##########

More than two hours later, it was dawn.

What is surprising is that today, the naval artillery and heavy artillery of Little Japan did not carry out large-scale artillery bombardment of the positions of the 58th and 51st Divisions, but turned their guns to Baoshan County, which was more than 10 kilometers away, and dumped tons and tons of shells into Baoshan, a place of projectiles, and the little Japanese air force also launched a wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of Baoshan County.

Obviously, after controlling the two landing fields from Liuhe to Shishilin Fort and Zhanghuabin to Wusong Fort, Baoshan County, which was in the middle, became a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the Japanese army.

From this day on, the 3rd Battalion of the 583rd Regiment of the 98th Division stationed in Baoshan became the primary target of the Japanese army.

While the Japanese army stormed Baoshan County, it did not give up the attack on Liuhe, Liuhang, Yanghang and Luodian in all directions, especially Luodian, which was attacked by the 44th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army.

After a fierce battle until noon, the Hezhi United team recaptured the Western Front Bridge again, and the troops approached Luodian.

When the armored car of the second car of Zhiying went up to the forward position, the 11th Wing of the Mountain Artillery of the 11th Division was preparing for artillery fire at Luodian, but the artillery preparation of this scale was absolutely different from yesterday in terms of intensity and density, and the officers and men of the 347th Regiment guarding the position were even in the mood to talk and laugh.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi stood behind Kazuchi Takaji with a face full of shame.

He Zhiyingji put down the binoculars and said with a smile: "Kinoshita-san, are you still angry about the defeat in the early hours of this morning?" ”

In the early hours of this morning, Kinoshita Hideyoshi guarded Luodian with two infantry squadrons, an artillery squad and a chariot squad, but the result was that the national army recaptured Luodian, and lost more than 200 soldiers, which can be said to be a very embarrassing loss.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi kept silent with a dark face, and said again with Zhiyingji: "Before, we underestimated the Chinese army, even I didn't expect that the artillery of the Chinese army was so powerful, and their infantry and artillery coordination, the artillery was able to keep up with the infantry, I really don't know how they did it, losing to such an opponent, in fact, it is not wrong." ”

Regarding the battle in the early hours of this morning, Kazuchi Takaji had already learned the details from Kinoshita Hideyoshi and the defeated soldiers, and the artillery of the national army played a vital role in it, whether it was the bridgehead position in the west of Luodian Town, the steel plate machine gun nest on the periphery, or the four Type 95 light tanks of the tank squad, all of which were killed by the Chinese artillery.

And Zhiying II is just a little curious, the Chinese army's infantry artillery coordination weishenme will be so sharp?

Judging by the exchange of fire in the early hours of this morning, the infantry support artillery of the Chinese army can even keep up with the assault team, how is this possible?

Kinoshita Hideyoshi was also very confused, and said in a deep voice: "Judging from the sound of the shells firing, it should be a small-caliber curved artillery, but the trajectory of its shells is a typical flat-fire gun. ”

He Zhiying asked rhetorically: "Do you think the government of China can have such scientific research strength?" ”

Kinoshita Hideyoshi also felt that the Chinese government could not have the ability to develop new artillery, and immediately said: "If it wasn't developed by the Shina people themselves, could it be that the new artillery was imported from Germany?" ”

He Zhiying Er shook his head and said: "Germany does not have such a new artillery. ”

"That's weird." Kinoshita Hideyoshi said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

He Zhiyinger waved his hand and said indifferently: "Kinoshita-san, instead of guessing there, it is better to send a few reconnaissance teams to reconnoiter on the spot." ”

Kinoshita Hideyoshi said: "Send a reconnaissance team? ”

He Zhiyingji bowed his head slightly, and then said: "In the past three days, the imperial army has suffered consecutive defeats at night, of course, there is the factor that the imperial army is not good at night fighting, but it is undeniable that the scouts sent by the Shina army have played a vital role, doesn't Kinoshita-san feel that the Shina army knows the deployment and firepower of the imperial army well?" ”

Kinoshita Hideyoshi said suddenly: "When the captain of the Wing said this, I really remembered that the attack of the Chinese army in the early hours of this morning was very targeted, and even a few hidden side-firing fire points were cleared by them at fixed points, and the artillery position was quickly captured by the Chinese army, and the two infantry guns almost did not play any role. ”

"That's what Scouts do." He Zhiying nodded and said, "Long before the attack, the scouts of the Chinese army had already infiltrated and figured out the deployment of the imperial army's forces and firepower. ”

Kinoshita Hideyoshi said: "It seems that the commanders of the Shina Army are not all stupid. ”

He Zhiying said: "The commander of the branch on the opposite side is indeed a powerful character, but it is not unusual to use scouts on the battlefield, and the imperial army can also use scouts. ”

"Anti-reconnaissance? Yo West. Kinoshita Hideyoshi smiled and nodded.

As he spoke, the artillery preparations of the 11th Wing of the Mountain Artillery had ended, and the Japanese squad on standby in the attack position had pulled out a skirmish line of nearly 100 meters and launched an attack on the opposite position of the Nationalist Army, and in today's attack, the 44th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army did not put tanks or armored vehicles to cover the infantry attack, and before figuring out the details of the "new artillery" of the Nationalist Army, He Zhiying II did not dare to risk his precious tanks again.

On the opposite side of the national army's position, sparse gunfire rang out, and on the bombed position, more than a dozen Chinese soldiers could be faintly seen, and on the front line that was nearly 100 meters wide, only Liao Liao had more than a dozen Chinese soldiers, and Zhiying II and Kinoshita Hideyoshi raised their binoculars at the same time.

In less than two minutes, the Japanese stragglers broke into the position of the national army, and the dozen or so Chinese soldiers not only did not retreat, but also fiercely rushed out of the trenches to launch a decisive charge to the Japanese army, after a short white-knuckle battle, the dozen Chinese soldiers were all killed, but the Japanese also paid almost the same number of casualties, or even more.

At this point, a small group of Japanese troops was already scattered, and they could not bear the next wave of attacks.

On the opposite side, however, almost a dozen Chinese soldiers on the first line of defense were killed, and about fifty meters away, Chinese soldiers had reappeared, still a dozen, haunting foxholes, moving in the communication trenches, and firing while evading the covering fire of the Japanese infantry.
