Chapter 120: Gathering and Annihilation under the City

Gathering under the city (1)

In a small county town not far from Nanjing, Wang Yaowu stood at the head of the city in a daze, the soldiers snuggled together, even when the war was the hardest, Liu Yuan did not allow the soldiers to live in the homes of the common people, no matter when military discipline was always the most serious thing.

Even Wang Yaowu didn't know when he started to like smoking, probably because the weather was cold, the quartermaster specially gave him a pack of cigarettes, Wang Yaowu thought it was a special offering, but when he saw that most soldiers had it in their pockets, Wang Yaowu was relieved.

Just after the New Year, the little devils don't stop at all, the weather outside is so cold, and they have to fight, to be honest, these days are definitely the most painful days for Wang Yaowu in these years.

Unlike Hu Lian, he was born with a masochistic factor, he likes the feeling of being surrounded by others, and he leads his soldiers, fights with the enemy, and then successfully breaks through, but Wang Yaowu is different, he likes to attack, attack wantonly, and crush the enemy with steel and blood.

But this battle was too poor, the commander's order had never been so weak, Wang Yaowu knew very well that if he received another order to retreat, he would definitely rush up and fight the enemy.

Finally, the commander's order was finally changed, just an hour ago, Senior Brother Zuo Quan came to his small county town as a guest, and brought the chocolate that the commander himself was reluctant to eat, held his hand, and explained the commander's strategy in detail.

"Yaowu, the commander knows your temperament, I have really wronged you these days, but wait until the counteroffensive begins, don't hesitate, it's just a word, you are attacking the Yamada detachment from the flank, Fan Hanjie's troops have secretly gathered in Wangcun behind the Yamada detachment, they will make a rapid march and detour, completely cut off the enemy's retreat, remember that all you have to do is to do it, don't let the enemy easily mobilize the forces on the flanks."

Zuo Quan preached to Wang Yaowu word by word the operational thinking of the Nanjing camp, which made Wang Yaowu rub his hands excitedly, and the staff officers also looked at the map excitedly, finally going to play hard? Men should do with the enemy, what kind of man is to cower like this.

There are many hills in the south, there are many places to hide soldiers, Fan Hanjie skillfully hid part of his troops in Fengxia Mountain, and now Liu Yuan finally gave the order, this is the rhythm of fighting with the enemy.

The sun had just risen, and the Japanese cooks were making breakfast in the marching pot, when a correction balloon suddenly rose in the sky. All the Japanese felt that the situation could be worse.

Hundreds of artillery pieces hidden along the mountain were the first to fire, and the 150 howitzer was definitely the best of the many artillery, and the enemy's potato tank, as soon as it was hit, flew into the sky and became a pile of fragments. Although the Japanese soldiers were well-trained, when the shells fell on the position, they were defenseless, and they could not even find the position, so they could only lie on the ground and look for comfort.

After the artillery brigade shells were fired, the divisional artillery regiments of the ambush units also began to fire, although the caliber was different, and there were even many mortars, but the power of hundreds of artillery pieces was absolutely against the sky, and the national army carried out a full hour of covering artillery bombardment on the Japanese army they hated.

The artillery fire has not stopped, the Chinese soldiers have begun to rush to the Japanese positions in accordance with the infantry drills, when there are still three or four hundred meters away from the Japanese positions, the artillery stopped attacking, and in a few minutes they rushed to the positions, many Japanese soldiers' internal organs were shattered, and they could not get up at all, and the Chinese soldiers easily took the first two lines of positions, and they didn't even need to fire their guns, just put a few shots.

Since the Yamada detachment participated in the Battle of Songhu, it has long forgotten what the resistance of the Chinese army was? In their eyes, even the smartest generals in Zhina had to retreat from them, and a 38 big cover could scare off a squad of the national army, so in front of Liu Yuan's show of weakness, they were really arrogant.

It was really Liu Yuan who asked his soldiers to be too ruthless, mortars over 60 mm were not allowed to be used, and each company used at most one Czech machine gun, so that the Japanese army once thought that China had no heavy weapons at all, and the weapons that appeared on the Songhu battlefield were also short-lived, so many Japanese troops were light and simple, and when 150 howitzers appeared in the sky, all the Japanese troops were stupid.

One of the regiment commanders under Wang Yaowu was like crazy, a colonel with a death squad broke through the Japanese position, blocking the advance that could not resist him at all, and in a short time, the regiment commander had already crossed the enemy's depth, so that the Japanese troops could not complete the assembly at all.

The commander of the Yamada detachment was completely unaware that his position had been broken through by the Nationalist army so quickly, and he hurriedly asked the commander of the 13th Division for tactical guidance, and in addition, he gathered all the reserve troops, civilian personnel and men of the detachment to support the broken position.

It has to be said that the battle of Songhu did not break the vitality of the Japanese army at all, the Japanese soldiers are still very strong in terms of combat strength and consciousness, although they are in a state of surroundment, but they are not panicked at all, the two wing commanders personally command the soldiers to organize resistance, they rely on the hilly area, to resist, a machine gun on the small hill, a moment of effort will gather hundreds of Japanese soldiers, in the scolding of the military Cao, the resistance of the Japanese soldiers is becoming more and more powerful, Wang Yaowu's regiment commander wants to continue to break through is impossible.

When the 13th Division received the distress telegram, the entire Shangshanda detachment was completely encircled, and there was no possibility of breaking through the encirclement.

Fan Hanjie faced the Japanese cavalry brigade and an infantry wing, and he didn't think that there would be a branch of troops from their rear when he killed the Japanese army, and the positions were all temporarily arranged, which was too good for Fan Hanjie.

Fan Hanjie scattered his two divisions, marched in unison, and carried out a crazy assault on the enemy's position, without any other idea, that is, to get tangled with the enemy, not to give the enemy's long-range artillery and aircraft support, when the planes flew to the battlefield, the battlefield has become a sea of soldiers fighting.

"Your Excellency Matsushima, please be sure to block your front-line Shina soldiers and buy time for the division, our reinforcements will arrive in five hours at most" The detachment commander's voice on the phone was full of anxiety.

"Matsushima didn't think that his cavalry could play any role in positional warfare, but now he must sacrifice himself to buy time for the detachment, otherwise more than 10,000 people will die on the battlefield."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the soldiers of China have surrounded us, but it is impossible for them to defeat us, warriors of the Empire, charge with me." The captain personally drew his saber and led the troops to charge.

When the cavalry charged, the ground shook, Fan Hanjie looked at the cavalry troops charging towards him and smiled, boom, more than a dozen trucks were driven to the front, relying on the truck machine gunners to build machine gun positions.

It was impossible for the Japanese to stop, because the sound of machine guns was already sounding.
