Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 380 Song Kai
The 62nd Division was equipped with two infantry guns to attack, and more than 10 surprise attack squads drawn from the whole division attacked the Japanese defense line from all directions, and mortars, grenades, rifles, and firecrackers lit in gasoline barrels rang out intensively, resulting in a much larger momentum than the previous 45th and 63rd Divisions, which overwhelmed the Japanese army.
From the forward position to the rear barracks, the Japanese officers and soldiers were buzzing with their heads from the deafening explosions and the dense gunfire, and Yu Shi's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth at the sneak attack of the Chinese army.
Major General Noboru Kunisaki, commander of the Japanese Kunisaki detachment, gritted his teeth and sent several waves of soldiers to pursue, but he did not want to step on the mines planted by the Chinese army in a row, which caused people to turn over on their backs, and lost more than 40 lives one after another, and he no longer dared to send troops to attack.
As a shell came out of the last shell at half past four in the morning, the harassing troops of the 62nd Division began to retreat, the gunfire gradually stopped, and the night returned to tranquility.
It was the darkest time before dawn, the heavy morning dew watered the plants all over the field, and Lei Biao, dressed in a Japanese military uniform, lurked quietly in a dry thatch, chewing on the grass roots with a hint of sweetness in his mouth, and his eyes staring at the movement ahead.
Suddenly, a vague figure appeared in the night, stretched his neck and whispered: "Company commander"
"Over here"
Lei Biao raised his hand to signal.
The visitor's eyes were excellent, and he accurately identified the direction at once, bowed his waist and trotted to Lei Biao's side, and said with a smile: "Company commander, the Japanese sentries at the front of the position, whether they are open or covert, have been solved by us cleanly In addition, through these Japanese sentries, we have found out the location of the Japanese headquarters."
"What are you happy about completing such a simple task...... Little Japan has been harassed for a night, and now it has been quiet for more than half an hour, and those guys must have dreamed of Zhou Gong......" Lei Biao disdainfully: "You have a platoon, if you can't even solve a few tired sentinels, what does Lao Tzu want you to do?" By the way, have you confessed? Don't be fooled."
"Hey, hey"
Lieutenant Sun Yang, the platoon leader who was also dressed in Japanese military uniform, scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "The confession is correct, two of the five people said differently, and the other three were completely the same, almost the same...... After all, this is the first time we have carried out a mission after breaking away from the main force, and it is inevitable that we will be a little excited...... Company commander, when do you think we can go back? ”
"Where do I know the way?"
Lei Biao said angrily: "Leaving the teacher's side, Lao Tzu always feels that something is missing." Thinking that we will all have to be dominated by others for some time to come, I don't feel good in my heart."
Since Lei Biao was sent by the battalion commander Lu Kuiyuan to follow the action of the temporary third division, Lei Biao has been very unhappy. In fact, not only was Lei Biao unhappy, but the second spy was unhappy up and down, but the military orders were like a mountain, and they had to obey the orders. Lei Biao complained, and his face became solemn: "Old Sun, you go to the front line of the Japanese army again to ensure that after the attack is launched, the officers and soldiers of the third regiment and the first supplementary regiment can approach the Japanese position without obstacles."
"I know the way"
Platoon Commander Sun pouted: "Company commander, you have said it several times, my ears are almost out of the cocoon"
Lei Biao reprimanded with a dark face: "If you know the truth, why don't you go back to your position quickly?" Let the brothers under him protect the people sent by the special company to support us, they are all the treasures of the division, if there is any mistake, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless."
Sun Yang saluted Lei Biao and turned to leave.
The former enemy headquarters of the Third Division in Yegang Village, east of Qidu Town, looked at the eastern sky showing a trace of fish belly white, Yang Sixian said calmly: "It's about to dawn."
"Yes, we are going to attack as soon as it is dawn" When he said this, the deputy brigade commander, Colonel Wei Yuanjing, had some expectation on his face. Now the third regiment and the first supplementary regiment are already in the offensive positions on the left and right flanks, waiting for the dawn to appear from the eastern horizon.
Wei Yuanjing turned his head and glanced at Luo Yuming: "Brigade seat, why do you have to wait until dawn to attack?" Just like the one time in Jiaxing City, wouldn't it be better for us to attack in the middle of the night? ”
"This needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis...... The division has said that soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent, so it is necessary to analyze the specific situation of the generals and formulate targeted tactics. ”
Wu Ming is the spiritual pillar of the new Second Division, and people like Luo Yuming, Yang Sixian and others especially like to quote Wu Ming's words. This time Yang Sixian was no exception:
"First of all, when they were in Jiaxing City, Chen Yanhua and they had locals as guides, and there were many houses in the city, which was suitable for a chaotic battle with a surprise and all-out attack. Now it is different here, the Japanese army is in the Miaogang to the north of the Taipu River, all of which are newly dug trenches, plus the rivers and lakes are vertical and horizontal, the terrain is extremely complex and changeable, we attack at night, we can not take advantage of the geographical advantage, but will cause unnecessary losses, the dawn is different.
"Moreover, the Japanese soldiers, who had been harassed all night, now have an hour's rest, and most of the Japanese soldiers have fallen into a deep sleep at this time, which means that they are at their weakest...... We launched an attack at this time, which had the effect of taking the enemy by surprise."
Wei Yuanjing suddenly realized, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I still have to study hard with the teacher."
At this time, the first red light appeared in the eastern sky, and the sky and the earth suddenly became brighter, Yang Si turned around first and commanded loudly: "When the time comes, start attacking"
"Yes"
The first ray of light that appeared on the horizon was like a brilliant signal flare lit up in the dark night, and the officers and men of the Third Division of the Provisional Division quickly took action.
On the front line of Huangjiadang in the south of Miaogang Town, Lei Biao, the commander of the second company of the special agent, got up from the grass, and just wanted to lead people to attack forward, when he heard a burst of dense footsteps from behind, Lei Biao turned his head curiously and saw that it was the soldiers of the three regiments led by Zhou Juncheng.
"Lao Zhou, this guy is really fast"
Lei Biao muttered, waved his hand at his subordinates, and slammed forward, rushing towards the front-line position of the Japanese army not far away, and the officers and men of the special service company charged behind the company commander like swift leopards.
Zhou Juncheng, who was about 200 meters away from the Second Company of Special Agents, was about to say hello to Lei Biao, and when he saw that the Special Service Company disguised as a Japanese soldier had been deployed, he shook his head and smiled, saying that Lei Biao must be afraid that he would steal the credit, so he slipped away so fast, and immediately led people to closely follow the footsteps of the officers and soldiers of the Second Company of Special Agents.
On the side near Taihu Lake, the supplementary regiment, under the leadership of Chen Yanhua, bent over the waist and quietly touched the Japanese position.
More than 80 meters in front of the front-line position of the Japanese army in Laowandou, several officers and soldiers of the Japanese Special Company of the Guard Battalion directly under the New Second Division, who had just finished solving the problem of the Japanese sentries who had come to change the guard, turned their heads and looked at Lei Biao and his people coming. Like the officers and men of Lei Biao's spy company, they were wearing Japanese military uniforms and white cloth strips wrapped around their right arms.
Seeing Lei Biao following, Chen Sigui, deputy commander of the Japanese Special Company, waved his hand to his opponent, and more than 20 special forces quickly took out cluster grenades from their backpacks, and they scattered and crept closer to the Japanese position
When they were only five or six meters away from the Japanese defense line, more than 20 special forces quickly lit cluster grenades and threw them at the Japanese trenches.
"Boom-"
The flames from the explosion burst into the sky, and the bursting shrapnel engulfed the sleeping Japanese soldiers lying on the trenches, and the violent shock wave and gunpowder smoke filled everywhere.
The ghost soldiers who were still sleeping soundly in the trenches behind were quickly woken up by the sound of explosions, and due to serious lack of sleep, their heads were still a little dizzy, and then a violent explosion came, which immediately made them wake up, and quickly rubbed their red eyes and looked around, and immediately saw a large number of national officers and soldiers who had broken through the front-line positions and rushed to the vicinity, armed with submachine guns, light machine guns and other melee weapons, and swept wildly.
Before the Japanese soldiers could react, they were swept away by a dense barrage of bullets, and they fell to the ground one by one, and soon the Japanese second-line positions were lost again.
At this time, the regimental machine gun company of Zhou Juncheng's regiment concentrated eight 81 mortars and 16 60 mortars to shoot at the Japanese army's deep position, and the grenadier soldiers who followed the front-line officers and soldiers charged forward found that the Japanese army was relying on fortifications or bunkers to resist stubbornly, so they squatted down and used grenadiers to eliminate the Japanese army's firepower points.
After destroying several waves of Japanese troops who had organized to resist in succession, the entire Third Regiment was like a sharp dagger, advancing deep into the Japanese defense line.
During the engagement, when encountering those devil soldiers who were barely breathing under artillery fire, the officers and men first waited for grenades, and the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, like rain of submachine guns and light machine gun bullets, and greeted the Japanese troops in a mess without money.
The attack of Zhou Juncheng's regiment was so fast, in the face of the dense firepower like a storm, the Japanese defense line fell one after another, and the blood of the devils in the trenches was the best praise for the Chinese soldiers.
Although at the beginning, many recruits of Zhou Juncheng's regiment were still a little hesitant and sluggish, but under the leadership of grassroots officers, non-commissioned officers and veterans, the recruits gradually adapted to the killing on the battlefield.
On the left flank of the battlefield, a supplementary regiment, under the leadership of Chen Yanhua, carried out a sickle-like harvest of the Japanese army, and they harvested the lives of the Japanese army one by one.
Relatively speaking, Chen Yanhua's regiment has more veterans, coupled with the gains from the British and the Japanese army, the equipment is better, the attack is fast and decisive, and the speed of interspersing is even faster than that of Zhou Juncheng's regiment.
The two main regiments were like two sharp scalpels, cutting through the huge Japanese position, and the four regiments and the second supplementary regiment followed by them slashed towards the Japanese army like axes.
In the chaotic Japanese army, the officers and men of the Japanese Special Company, who took advantage of the chaos to go deep behind the enemy lines, shouted at the Japanese soldiers who had just woken up and rushed out of the camp: "Run, the Devil Division is here, Wu Ming has sent someone to kill us."
Since the commander did not allow them to listen to the Phoenix radio program, the Japanese soldiers, who lacked leisure and entertainment, switched to another mysterious Japanese-language radio station, which would broadcast some letters from Japan, as well as current events from the battlefields in North and Central China, as well as some Japanese songs and radio dramas based on Japanese novels
Through this radio, the Japanese soldiers systematically heard about the situation of the new 2nd Division fighting against Japan, and the announcer swore that the new 2nd Division was an army from hell, and as long as it opposed them, it would be cursed terriblely, and it would not even be able to exert its strength in normal times during the battle, so the Japanese army suffered shameful defeats one after another.
Slowly, under the influence of the announcer, the Japanese soldiers began to call the new second division the devil's division and Wu Ming the big devil.
At this time, when they suddenly heard the names of the Devil Master and Wu Ming, the Japanese soldiers immediately thought of the vicious curse on the radio, and many people shuddered a little.
Just when the Japanese army was at a loss, the officers and men of the special service company with submachine guns and grenades on their waists, with the cooperation of the Japanese special forces, went straight to the Japanese headquarters of Laotaimiao in the west of Miaogang Town.
In the detachment headquarters set up in the compound of the Liu family, a large landlord in Miaogang, the sound of explosions and the earth-shattering shouts of many soldiers of the national army were heard outside, as well as the huge wails of the Japanese soldiers who followed.
Thinking of the attack and harassment all night before, Kunisaki Noboru quickly made a judgment - the attack of the Chinese army must have been premeditated, and judging from the intensity of the gunfire, the enemy is extremely strong, and there should be no less than two divisions engaged in front-line combat.
As the gunshots got closer and closer, the well-dressed Kunisaki Noboru felt that something was wrong, he rushed out of the room, came to the courtyard outside, and gave an order to his staff officers: "Quickly assemble the team, prepare to move in, let's look in the direction of Pingwang......"
Before the words fell, a round thing suddenly fell from the sky, Kunizaki was stunned, looked down, and his heartbeat accelerated instantly, it was more than a dozen smoking grenades.
"Boom-"
After a violent explosion, Noboru Kunisaki, who was about to dodge, had turned into a pile of minced meat.
Lei Biao led people into the courtyard, armed with submachine guns, and fired wildly at all the targets he stood, and the "da-da" bullets knocked out rows of holes in the pasted paper windows and wooden doors.
After clearing the various rooms of the Japanese headquarters, Lei Biao wiped the sweat beads on his face with his hands, feeling too cool in his heart, with a special forces who speak fluent Japanese to lead the way, he deceived the Japanese soldiers who were on guard along the way, and easily broke into the Japanese headquarters, not only killing a major general, but also dropping a big Zuo, two middle Zuo and four Shaozuo, which can be described as a bumper harvest.
Tearing off the epaulettes and logos of the devil officer, and then sweeping away all the documents and maps, Lei Biao turned around, waved his hand to the officers and soldiers behind him, and said loudly: "Let's go, let's fight back"
