Chapter 4 Breakout??
Almost every squad leader and squadron leader who was killed was shot in the forehead. The whole battlefield was full of gunfire, and in the dense gunfire, no one knew where this shot came from, but suddenly, the commander next to him fell-this scene was very strange, so that the devil soldiers of the 9th Division who rushed to the front immediately fell into a huge panic.
The melee of nearly 100,000 people is a mess. The dozen or so squad leaders and squadron commanders who rushed to the front died suddenly, and the captains, wing commanders, and brigade commanders who were guarded by many subordinates had no idea what was happening on the front line, but just waved the command knives in their hands and ordered the troops to advance and charge.
Xiao Yi has rich combat experience and has a very accurate grasp of the battlefield situation. They knew that there would be a big scuffle next, and after sniping the devil officer in their field of vision, they did not shift their positions, but continued to lie there, waiting for the next opportunity to appear.
Soon, the officers and soldiers of the 1st Division, the 3rd Division, and the 26th Division of Jiangsu Security rushed up. According to Ouyang Yun's arrangement, all the 3rd Division and the 26th Division were equipped with Wei Qing and the two regiments with guns rushed to the front, and the single male led the Jiangsu Security Division to follow.
In this kind of positional warfare between the two sides, the intensity of firepower is very important, especially when one side intends to squeeze in the middle, the intensity of firepower of the other side will directly determine whether they can tear apart the opponent's defense, so as to resolve the strength of the opponent's thick formation. When the garrison on the left rushed up, the forward troops of the 9th Division were in chaos - they had lost their immediate superiors, the little devils were fighting on their own, and the scene was very chaotic. Although the soldiers below the squad leader tried their best to maintain the array, they could not have enough time to organize in such a rapidly changing battlefield.
"Click!" Hundreds, thousands of Weiqing-style assault infantry, firing at the same time, nearly 10,000 rounds of bullets hit in an instant, as if a strong wind swept through a wheat field, and acres of wheat were cut down - within the range of the assault, the Japanese army's originally dense formation was suddenly like a mouth that had been beaten by someone and had broken many teeth, and it was instantly opened.
"This-" Xiao Yi, who had been left behind by the officers and soldiers of the brigade and faced all this, suddenly felt a toothache. "It's horrible! Is this the true power of the Weiqing-style assault step? Why didn't I see it before? He thought to himself and looked at the Wei Qing-style sniper step in his hand.
He was a little distracted when he was kicked in the ass. "Which bastard? "......The people on the battlefield are angry, Xiao Yi is not a good bird, and now he is like a cat that has stepped on its tail." Turning his head, he saw a square and dark face, he suddenly grinned "hehe", and said flatteringly: "It's a group seat, ah, I said it wrong, it's time to call you a teacher." Master, there is no suspense in this battle-"
The single male glared at him and shouted: "You kid is less poor than me, I warn you, if you go back to Guangdong, if there is one less person, Lao Tzu will drip your hair!" ”
"Master, don't worry, according to this way of playing, it is estimated that we don't need to infiltrate......"
"Humph!" The lone male snorted coldly and ran over the ditch surrounded by many of his men.
Fighting in the rice fields was a big impact on the infantry. Most of the officers and soldiers on both sides, who were rich in combat experience, took off their shoes and rushed to each other barefoot. Walking barefoot in a rice paddy field has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage has become neat, and even if it is trapped, it can be pulled out quickly; The disadvantage is that it is easy to slip, and if you step on something sharp, you will get hurt immediately. In general, fighting in the rice fields was beneficial to the garrison, not only because they had tanks that completely ignored this level of mud, but more importantly, because of the presence of a large number of Weiqing assault infantry, the garrison had too much advantage in firepower.
On the middle line, when the tank division attacked only 300 meters away from the temporary command post of Ushijima Mitsuru, from the ditches, rice fields, vegetable fields, and reeds next to it, a large group of devils crawled up with all kinds of explosives and pounced on them with a roar.
The devils who rushed out of the rice fields, like mud monkeys, had an explosive object all over their bodies, and most of them were even barefoot. Gu Shoufu was really ready to fight hard this time - after having to carry out Yoshiju Ryosuke's battle plan, he knew that the threat of tank troops was regarded as his top priority, so even though the shelling was so fierce just now, he still managed to organize a large group of death squads, and successfully concealed in the middle of the battle formations of the two sides.
The officers and men of the 10th Division and the 145th Division closely followed the tank troops, and among them, the officers and men of the 10th Division, who had received the coordination of infantry combat, climbed onto the tanks early, either lying on their stomachs or squatting, and were ready for battle.
The Sichuan soldiers of the 145th Division had no experience in this area, but it didn't matter, they were used to marching and fighting in straw sandals, and there was nothing uncomfortable when walking in the rice fields. Moreover, the mud in the rice fields that had been crushed by the Jiguang tank was squeezed to the side, and there was basically no trouble for them.
Before the war, Liu Yuqing and Ye Zhao lectured their subordinates and emphasized: "Our mission is to protect the safety of the tanks and blow them up before the human bombs of the little devils approach!" ”
Only then did more than a thousand devils stand up, "Bang! "Click!" Gunfire of various types of guns immediately rang out one after another, including vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns. As soon as the gunfire rang out, explosions rang out on the high ground around the tank division, in the rice fields, and along the ditches. A personal flesh bomb was exploded, and with a loud "boom", it turned into a pile of flesh.
There are also cunning devils, who are buried in the rice fields, and when the tank drives in front of them, they suddenly pull the lead, pounce on the tank with a cruel smile, and then, with the same "boom", cause huge casualties to the garrison.
The battle line was spread too large, which made it impossible for the officers and men of the 5th and 145th Divisions, who were moving with the tank division, to take care of all aspects. And the greatest casualties inflicted on the tank division were a death squad of the 9th Division that had been killed from the left front.
This death squad was personally selected by Yoshizu Ryosuke, with a total of more than 300 people. I don't know if Lu Dao had a similar experience in North China, so this part of the devils was well disguised, they followed the small river that flowed through Da'annan, avoided the invasion of the previous artillery fire, and lurked silently in the middle of the support of a cowpea field, and when the first tank division passed here, they suddenly killed, and at the cost of more than 300 people, they blew up 17 tanks of the tank division, and also lost a company of officers and soldiers of the 145th Division that followed this part of the tank attack.
The battle on the left front was a different story. The 18th Division, which had been ambushed in Bailinpu, was out of danger with the help of the 6th and 9th Divisions and changed roles, but the long battle consumed the physical strength of the soldiers, and everyone, including Ushijima Sadao, was exhausted.
The main force of the enemy suddenly came to the rescue, which seriously damaged the morale of the 18th Division. Therefore, although Ushijima Sadao had the intention to follow Yoshiju Ryosuke's arrangement, he had more than enough heart but not enough strength, and in the end, except for the death squad that was pieced together and immediately put into the battlefield, the other divisions only slowly approached the 6th Division, which seriously delayed the adjustment speed of the entire battlefield battle sequence.
In terms of the garrison, the 10th Division and the 114th Division have not fought a vicious battle, and they are the most well-preserved units so far. Compared with the devils of the 18th Division, the students of the 10th Division and the Northeast Army of the 114th Division have a very strong desire to fight. From the very beginning of the battle, the huge difference in morale between the two sides determined the nature of the battle - one side sang wildly; One side was passive in attack, and gradually turned into a slack defense. The two sides soon became entangled in each other, and there were local white-knuckle battles of thousands of people.
In fact, as the distance between the two sides closes, you have me, I have you, and white-knuckle combat will be inevitable.
Ouyang Yun actually didn't want to engage in white-knuckle combat - let go of the Wei Qing-style assault step with super coherent firepower, and instead fight with the little devil with a bayonet, that is something that an idiot can do. Of course, if this can better save the troops, it is a different matter.
White-knuckle combat can completely entangle the soldiers of both sides, and it is worth it when the Japanese fighters have not left the battlefield.
Ouyang Yun had another idea.
With the deepening of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Fujian and Guangdong will sooner or later usher in a crazy attack by the Japanese army. Then, the expansion of the cadet army will be an imminent thing. At that time, the army that has fought on the battlefield in Nanjing today will become the core force of the newly built troops. Today's soldiers will become qualified squad and platoon commanders, and even company and battalion commanders; Today's squad and platoon commanders will become qualified company commanders and even regimental and brigade commanders.
The Nanjing garrison is now composed of four components, and the rate belongs to the student army, not to mention, among which the Sichuan army and the Jiangsu security force are also key training objects. Liu Xiang, the boss of the Sichuan Army, is dead, and there is evidence that Jiang killed someone, as long as Ouyang Yun makes proper use of this, then it will not be a problem to collect the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the 26th Division and the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army; As for the Jiangsu First Security Division, because most of the officers at the level of division commander have been disposed of, and the single male has already established his prestige, it is only natural to bring it back to Fujian and Guangdong.
These people can be cultivated as seeds. Then, this battle will be a test - as long as those who have passed this test are pulled back and trained, then at least they are a qualified team leader.
It was precisely because of this consideration that twenty minutes after taking the initiative to launch the attack, Ouyang Yun shouted through the walkie-talkie: "Attention of all departments, now start to start a white-knuckle battle with the company as a unit." The little devil's plane has already freed up his hands, and below, only by pulling the little devil to the bottom can these turtle sons be bogeyed. Didn't the little devil keep shouting that we were the sick man of East Asia? We're going to beat them like the sick men of East Asia today! Qian Guangming informed all the chariots that all but the driver got out of the car and implemented crushing tactics. Ye Zhao and Rao Guohua, let your people keep a good distance from the tank, and remember not to get too close. ”
