Chapter 80: Attack! (Ask for a subscription!) )
Nishikanjiro and Kuroki didn't care when they received a telegram from Akiyama Yoshiko, because they were in a bit of trouble here. The 12th Infantry Reserve Brigade, which was responsible for escorting supplies, had never been able to get rid of the harassment of the other side, and the first batch of troops sent to relieve them were also blocked, and the progress was not smooth, at this time both of them thought that the first thing to take care of was their own baggage, as for Akiyama Haogu, Chinese? It shouldn't be a big deal.
There is a price to pay for despising the enemy! The contempt of the Japanese for the Volunteers directly determined the fate of five or six thousand Japanese soldiers in the brigade of Akiyama Yoshiko!
In the volunteers, whether it is the regular army or those militia, the ability of civil engineering work is very strong, they are originally a team composed of laborers and local farmers, digging and digging soil is their business, and when it is more than nine o'clock in the evening, all the trenches on the periphery have been pulled, and it is not so easy for Akiyama to come up with it!
It seems that this guy doesn't seem to have any intention of coming out, and Yang Xiaolin is a lot relieved. Baishan County is a trap that he has dug haode, and there are not only tunnels in it that can be directly entered from the outside, but the city wall that looks very strong has actually been done by the volunteers.
In other words, all the defenses that Akiyama Yoshiko did for the city walls were useless! He didn't know that. In the county seat, Yang Xiaolin has planted mines in many places, this kind of mine he has just made, it is the kind of stone mine that can only explode after pulling the fuse, the last time he fought Houma Town with Akeberil, he didn't have time to use it, and this time it was just used to give the Japanese a fresh taste.
Yang Xiaolin was not afraid of exposing this new weapon of his own, because what he was thinking about now was how to kill all these people in Akiyama, and he didn't think about letting these Japanese get out of Baishan County alive!
"Everybody's listening. The attack will begin at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will bombard the east and north gates with artillery fire, and we have done our tricks and feet on the walls of these two gates, and it is estimated that a dozen bags will collapse, and it will be visible. How about leading a big head? ”
Liu Xianhe was obviously a little excited, and he was really looking forward to this fight. First of all, he wanted to take revenge, the thirty-three brothers on Juzi Street were all members of their fifth regiment, and this revenge had to be avenged by their own hands before it was called happy.
And he really wants to have a chance to make the five groups shine. From the previous Fifth Company to the current Fifth Regiment, Liu Xianhe has always felt that his low position in the army is like a green leaf with saffron. Although it is said that safflower depends on green leaves. But no one is willing to be just that green leaf.
This time Yang Xiaolin asked him to take the lead, and Liu Xianhe had a mind that he must be better than Sui Bing.
Yang Xiaolin looked at Sui Bing again: "It is impossible for the little devils to hold on to the city gate, so they will definitely retreat into the city, the only place in the city that can be defended by them is the county government, there is a tunnel in the back garden of the county government, and when the battle is fierce, take the brothers to kill through the tunnel!" ”
Sui Bingying said: "Big brother, don't worry. Brother promises that Akiyama good ancient will be caught back! ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled and nodded: "It's best to let me kill those who can be caught alive, but if I die, I will save a bullet." If they can't catch him, I guess they'll choose to break through at that time. ”
This is not an impossible situation, the Japanese have five or six thousand people. Yang Xiaolin didn't dare to guarantee that he could trap them all in the county office.
"Sixth brother, your men and horses are ambushed at the south city gate, I estimate that if the little devils can't stand it, they should run away from here, remember to block them!"
Before Lu Lao Liu could speak, Feng Delin, the current deputy commander of the Volunteer Army, spoke: "Old Six, let the brothers raise their spirits." This is our first battle, don't be ashamed. ”…,
Lu Lao Liu patted his chest: "Don't worry, if the little devil comes out of the south gate." I can't let him get over any of them! ”
Yang Xiaolin said: "The south gate is just the point, it is possible for the devil to come out from any direction, the militia will help us stop the footsteps of the Japanese, but Ling's troops are the main force to intercept!" There's a signal there, so you have to move fast! ”
Lu Lao Liu nodded: "Understood." ”
Sui Bing suddenly asked at this time: "Mr. Zong, don't we fight at night?" ”
This is a question that other people really want to ask. It stands to reason that attacking at night should be a more suitable combat method for the volunteers, but Yang Xiaolin has to wait until tomorrow during the day. It really made them feel a little uncomfortable.
Yang Xiaolin straightened up, the brothers knew that they had asked Weishenme, this was a haode phenomenon, and he planned to start attacking at night at the beginning, which would not only save time, but also be suitable for the combat habits of the volunteers. But after figuring out the equipment of the Japanese army, Akiyama Yoshiko, he changed his mind.
Akiyama Yoshigu only had a total of 40 artillery pieces, all of which were small-caliber, while Yang Xiaolin concentrated 130 Russian artillery pieces and 70 unconscionable guns of his own production this time, and the volunteers had an absolute advantage in artillery fire.
There were also machine guns, the three regiments of volunteers had a total of more than 160 heavy machine guns, and the Japanese only had seven or eight, and in terms of close combat, their own firepower was much superior to the Japanese, and they had pistols and shotguns and grenades, while the Japanese had nothing but bayonets.
In terms of numbers, he is also twice as many as the Japanese army, and Baishan County was originally a trap dug by himself for Akiyama Haogu, so if he enters, there is no need to play anything yin with him, just fall into him and kill him.
The night attack has a certain suddenness, but when the Japanese already know that they are coming, this suddenness does not exist, and the night melee may also cause unnecessary damage to their own team, after all, the run-in period of the team is not too long.
So he chose to wait until the morning to fight. Yang Xiaolin looked at Sui Bing: "Our purpose of this battle is different from before, this is the first time we surround an enemy to eat him, and it is also the first time we practice attacking tough battles, and we can play insurance during the day, and we can also see clearly and make up for some mistakes in the battle." ”
Sui Bing seems to understand something, but he doesn't seem to understand it yet. But he didn't say anything anymore, he trusted Yang Xiaolin very much, and he absolutely believed that what Yang Xiaolin said was correct, so he began to arrange his team next. Prepare for an attack on the White Mountain.
Of course, Akiyama was not idle that night. Although he despised his opponents, as a military-educated Japanese general, he valued every battle. When Yang Xiaolin arranged an attack position outside the city, he also arranged his own defense system in Baishan County, not only the defense on the city wall. He also built some fortifications in the county, and when necessary, he could engage in street battles with the bandits.
Yoshiko Akiyama thought that he might never come if necessary, but he prepared anyway. One night, the Japanese troops in the city were busy arranging defenses, and from time to time some small troops came out to harass Yang Xiaolin, and Yang Xiaolin also asked those militiamen to repel them. The main combat regiment did not expose its firepower.
At seven o'clock the next morning, after the volunteers and soldiers had breakfast with the Japanese, the battle between the two sides officially began.
The first thing that began, of course, was the artillery battle. Akiyama opened fire first, and the artillery position of the volunteers three kilometers away was very well hidden, and he had no way to find it with a telescope, and he thought that the Chinese on the opposite side had no artillery fire, so he ordered all the artillery of the Japanese army to bombard the positions of the volunteers outside the city at the beginning. …,
When the Japanese artillery smashed on the positions of the volunteers outside the city. Our artillery immediately judged the position of the opponent's artillery position, because they knew the entire Baishan County well, and they knew how far away that position was from them when they looked at the trajectory of the shell!
More than 130 Russian-made artillery pieces roared in unison, which really shocked Akiyama Yoshiko! The shells rained down on the heads of the Japanese artillerymen! Not even a chance to transfer was left for the Japanese artillery!
By the time the first round of bombardment by the Volunteers was over, more than forty Japanese guns had all been turned into scrap metal. Akiyama Yokoku only reacted at this time: "Quick! Hurry up and send a telegram to the commander saying that we are under Russian fire! Tell him it's Russian artillery fire! Very violent! Request tactical guidance! ”
In the Japanese military, the so-called tactical guidance means to request for support. Akiyama Yoshiko only remembered to ask for tactical guidance now, a little late. The Japanese staff officer had just gone to send a telegram, and the second round of artillery bombardment by the Volunteers smashed into the Japanese outer defense line outside the city!
More than 70 conscienceless cannons also began to wield, and the bags flew out of the gasoline barrels. First it flew high, then it landed in a parabola over the heads of the Japanese soldiers, and looked up. It's like a big pie falling from the sky!
"Bang! Bang! ”
The continuous explosion shook the ground, and the little Japanese built a fortification for a night without being able to resist the bombardment of the bag, and the Japanese put a precious heavy machine gun outside, but a huge machine gun position, a bag flew over and killed it!
Then the charge of the Volunteers began, and the various combat units pounced on the Japanese fortifications outside the city according to the pre-battle deployment!
The three battalions of the fifth regiment served as the vanguard of the entire unit. According to the division of labor that had been planned in advance, the commander of the first company, Neru, and his brothers charged at a position garrisoned by more than 30 Japanese troops.
The fight is not very good. Even if the Japanese troops outside the city who were now arranged outside the city by Akiyama Yoshiko did not have any ability to turn the tables due to the lack of anticipation of the combat effectiveness of the volunteers before the war, they were much more tenacious than the Russians, and the Russians would immediately retreat into the city when they saw such a battle situation, but the Japanese were different, and there was no order to withdraw their troops, even if there was only one person left on the position, they would fight to the death.
At the risk of being killed by heavy machine gun fire, the more than 30 Japanese soldiers poked out their guns from the dilapidated bunker that had been blown up and shot at the volunteers.
Hand-to-hand combat brought almost no casualties to the Volunteers, and it should be said that the Japanese simply did not find the opportunity for real hand-to-hand combat. As soon as they stepped forward, the Minutemen's grenades flew at them, and the pistol bullets kept coming at them.
Almost before the two sides could meet each other, these little Japan were all killed. However, little Japan's spirit of charging even though he knew that he would die really made Neru feel very surprised.
After capturing this position of the Japanese, he immediately found that there was a Japanese army shooting in his direction behind him, Neru was busy letting the brothers hide first, where was his next target, he was not in a hurry to attack, let the brothers stabilize first, two minutes was enough.
He wanted to get a closer look at the terrain around the Japanese position, and he had to lift the heavy machine gun here a little, so that the brothers had all the pistol bullets replaced and the grenades ready.
