Chapter 118: Breaking the Cauldron (Asking for Subscription)
To use a Chinese idiom, the battle straight up to Matsubara was a real wreck. He has no way out, and if he fails, even if he can escape from here, Kuroki Weizhen will not let him go, and the Japanese military discipline will not let him go.
Therefore, he can only survive if he lays down the position of the Russians in front of him. At that time, he will no longer be a sinner who disobeys military orders without permission, and the Japanese military department will certainly praise him for his quick decision.
While the Russians were still investigating the specific situation of this Japanese army, Naokami Matsubara was ready to die.
As the brigade commander, he personally handled the rifle and organized a death squad, with which he would personally charge the Russians if necessary! He told his soldiers that the interests of the Great Japanese Empire were at stake in this battle, and that he would personally fight with them with bayonets!
This spirit of taking the lead also quickly infected the Japanese soldiers of this brigade, originally in this battle the Japanese emperor was calling on everyone to fight for the future of the empire, and now they are even more impassioned under the bushido infection, vowing to fight with the Russians to zuihou a bayonet!
The vanguard of both sides was the first to exchange fire, a squadron of more than 100 men in small Japan, and a company against the Russians was also more than 100 people. The battle happened very suddenly, in order to hide his strength, Naokami Matsubara did not send reinforcements to that squadron, and more than 200 people fought in a melee between the dense forests and grasses!
Although the Russians were much better physically than the Japanese, and their weapons and equipment were better than those of the little Japanese, those Japanese regarded death as if they were at home, and they also shouted very loudly in the face of the Russians' voice of Ulla, and they came into contact with each other. Neither side took advantage of anything.
The Russian regiment commander saw that there were no reinforcements from these Japanese, and the artillery fire just now was also sparse. He thought that it was just a small group of Japanese troops who had gone in the wrong direction in front of him, so he did not pay much attention to this battle.
He immediately told his superiors about this judgment, and his superiors did not look at it, but actually believed the judgment of the regimental commander, and reported the regimental commander's report to General Akberlir as it was, asking Akberil not to be distracted by the gunfire in Yingshigou.
Although General Akberil ordered the left flank position to be prepared to prevent emergencies, when his order reached the commander of the 3rd Siberian Regiment, the regiment commander only glanced at it and said very easily: "Please reply to the commander, I will not have any problems here." ”
The eight-kilometer front is long and long. It's short and short. The sound of cannons being fired in the stone ditch could be heard on both sides, and it was impossible for Akberil not to worry about the situation there, and Kuroki Weizhen was even more terrified, because he had no idea what was going on!
"Will there be gunfire in Weishenme?"
He nervously spread out the battle map, his eyes fixed on the blue and red arrows on the map. He marked the arrows with blue for the line of defense of the Russian positions and red for the offensive lines of the various units of the Japanese army.
There is not a single red arrow pointing to the stone ditch, could it be that the Russians themselves set off two cannons to relax? Or are the Russian troops coming in for reinforcements and are outflanking from that direction? He couldn't find the answer!
Kuroki looked at Nishikanjiro standing beside him, Nishikanjiro shook his head and said: "Commander Kurogi, the Russians have transferred a large number of troops to attack the Third Army, if they have extra troops, they will definitely continue to throw themselves into the battlefield of Arthur." Won't come to us. ”
What Nishikuan Jiro said is very reasonable, and Kuroki Weizhen also understands, but in this way, there is no way to explain the cannon sound of Yingshigou, and if you can't find an answer, it means that anything can happen. This made Kuroki even more uneasy. …,
He tapped his hands on the table under the gaze of several Western military observers next to him, his eyes carefully searched for every mark on the map, and suddenly he thought of something, and immediately raised his head: "Has the Songyuan Brigade escorted supplies back?" ”
Nishikanjiro looked at his watch: "If it goes well, it should be almost there." ”
Kuroki Weizhen's hand was raised: "Send someone to answer immediately, I suspect, I just suspect that this guy we don't know very well may not have acted according to our orders this time!" ”
Nishikanjiro was taken aback: "Won't it?" In that case, he would have been severely punished. ”
Kuroki thought for a moment: "This person is different from our other soldiers, he only has victory in his eyes, and for victory, he can do all the things that we can't imagine at all!" Hurry up, hurry up and check! ”
The results of the investigation soon came out, and at 3:40 the troops who went to pick up the supplies met with the reserve infantry brigade, and they told Kuroki that Naokami Matsubara did not escort the supplies, and where he took the troops, the reserve infantry brigade did not know.
"Eight Tooth Road!"
Kuroki Weizhen was very angry, and slammed his fist on the table: "Send him a telegram immediately!" Ask him what he's doing now! ”
The Japanese operator hurriedly began to tap on the telegraph, but four or five people were busy for a while, and the result made Kuroki Weizhen very disappointed, and Naokami Matsubara had no way to contact him, and his radio station was turned off.
Nishikanjiro immediately stood up: "General Kuroki, I think we should immediately bring this guy back and let him know the consequences of violating military discipline!" ”
Kuroki was about to nod his head in agreement, when something was definitely wrong in the middle of his head. This was not some sane analysis, it was all the intuition of a commander on the battlefield, and his intuition told him that perhaps it would be more unwise to stop Naogami Matsubara now.
The words that were already on the edge of his mouth were swallowed by him, and the footsteps walking back and forth came to an abrupt halt, he stopped on the edge of the chair, sat down slowly, and said after thinking for a while: "Keep calling, and if there is no way to contact them after an hour, catch Naogami Matsubara and let him commit suicide!" ”
Without waiting for an hour, at about 4:30, a Japanese radio operator suddenly stood up: "Report to the commander, I received a telegram from the Matsubara Brigade in the sky!" Said the commander of the Naogami Matsubara Brigade. They are now launching a fierce assault on the Russians at Yingshigou, and it is expected that in an hour they will be able to break through the Russian lines. Please send reinforcements to strengthen the position! ”
Kuroki was taken aback when he heard the news, and Nishikanjiro didn't believe it at all: "Impossible, it's impossible to break through the Russian position in an hour!" Commander Kuroki, don't listen to this madman, sending troops over there will affect our battle here! The Russians on the other side are no longer able to support them, and if we launch another charge, we may be able to crush them tonight! ”
Kuroki Weizhen didn't listen to Nishikuan Jiro this time, and slowly stood up from the chair, here is about to break through, it seems to be a little bit close. But he didn't know exactly how much that bit was. And it's been so many days, and that little bit still exists.
At this time, should I believe that I should go straight to Matsubara once?
Kuroki thought for Zhen for a while, and finally made a decision: "Commander of Hikaru Inoue, set off with me immediately with your troops." Let's go to Yingshigou to have a look! ”
The days in July are very long, and the sun is shining at four o'clock. It was at this time that Naogami Matsubara launched an attack on the 3rd Russian Siberian Regiment, and the Japanese troops from various concealed spots emerged from various concealment points and rushed towards the Russian positions, and the shells cut back and forth across the sky. …,
The Japanese had to pay the price of blood for every inch of their advance, and the barbed wire fences of the bunkers and trenches on the opposite side became scythes to harvest the lives of the Japanese soldiers, but this did not deter the already crazy straight to Matsubara. The guy had no way out, and he put pressure on the Russians using a combination of frontal attacks and small troop attacks.
When it was impossible to break through on the frontal battlefield, many small Japanese troops attacked in all directions. There was a Japanese brigade that happened to search the hospital for the wounded soldiers of the Russian! When no one saw Little Japan, the humanity praised by the British and Americans did not know where to go, and they killed all the wounded soldiers and medical staff in this field hospital.
At first, there were a few Russian doctors who came out to surrender under white flags, thinking that the Japanese would treat them humanely. But I didn't expect that those Japanese soldiers didn't talk to them at all, and what they sent directly was bullets.
The medics were killed, and the little Russian nurses were scurrying around. Their panic even stimulated the bestiality of these beasts of the Japanese army, and the entire field hospital was slaughtered by them, and only one wounded soldier was pushed by the nurse into the pile of dead people to escape.
Of course, such an attack could not shake the Russian defense line at all, and on the battlefield of the frontal charge, the Russian machine guns formed a dense network of firepower, and the Japanese rushed in front of the fire net one after another, but their charge had no effect at all except that it looked very tragic.
The biggest mistake made by the Russian regiment commander was to treat his opponent as a fool who only knew how to send him to death! When the gunfire suddenly became intense, Akberil came to inquire about the situation here, and the regimental commander replied: "No problem, you can withstand it!" ”
But the battle was fought until about five o'clock, an explosion sounded more than ten meters below the mountain, and the entire mountain was shaken, and the regiment commander did not react to what was going on, and from the smoke of the explosion, Nyerere and his team came out of the tunnel!
Nyerere's troops are very special, there are many differences from other teams, from the most superficial phenomenon is that other troops are shouting and screaming once they go to the battlefield, including the remaining regiments of the volunteers, which is called wolf. But more than 200 people fought without saying a word!
They wore Japanese military uniforms and did not speak, and at first glance they did not differ from the Japanese army. After the first combat team burst out of the tunnel, two light machine guns immediately fired at the top of the hill, and the grenades flew one after another towards the Russian trench at the top of the hill.
Before Lao Maozi could react, the combat team opened up a relatively safe area, and the brothers in the back came out of the blown hole one by one.
The Russian regiment commander on the top of the mountain didn't even have a chance to arrange a defense, so Nyerere rushed up first, these guys were like a god of killing, and they caught Lao Maozi off guard!
The Russian regiment commander called for help from Akberil at this time, but it was too late. On the battlefield, no tactic will succeed in a while, but if it does, no matter how bad the tactic is, it is enough to win. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
