Chapter 243: A Toothless Dog
"〞The fastest update, no pop-ups!
The village of Dingli, which he chose as the assembly site, is located nearly nine kilometers deep on the battle line. The 259th Wing is at the front, and there are still quite a lot of troops that cannot be withdrawn, and it can also hold back the enemy forces in a short time. As long as you give yourself two hours, you can gather the withdrawn troops.
In fact, according to military common sense, this guy's decision should not be said to be wrong, but on the whole it is still correct. After all, in the unfamiliar battlefield of North China, it is not a wise move to disperse and break through. With the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, as long as it can be assembled, it may not be that there is no chance at all.
But this Ben Fanjiu Dazuo, who was in a hurry to retreat, didn't know that his face-to-face had been strengthened. Just three kilometers deep in front of the enemy in front of him, the newly reinforced enemy troops were watching him with fierce eyes. Moreover, the four newly transferred 122 rocket artillery companies, which had never appeared on the Leling battlefield before, had already marked the entire Huangjia Town to the possible assembly point he had predetermined, and all of them were marked with firepower.
The strength of a regiment, with the cooperation of its own front-line troops, secretly entered a place three kilometers deep in Huangjia Town and waited for concealment. He was pinching his watch and waiting for his withdrawn troops to assemble in order to deliver the most lethal blow to his 259th Wing. In order to alleviate the pressure that may be borne on another battlefield more than ten kilometers away at this moment.
There is no way to go from Huangjia Town to Leling County, so it is a natural village of Ligang, and it is close to the highway from Huangjia Town to Leling County. The main direction of operations is the 259th Wing north and east of Huangjia Town, and no matter which direction it retreats eastward, this small natural village is the only way to go.
And judging from the previous intelligence, this should be an important supply center for the Japanese army. At the beginning, Ben Fanjiu Dazuo chose the Dingli pole as a hoarding point for ammunition and supplies, thinking that what he was doing was very hidden. But if after such a long period of time, the Anti-United Nations in person still can't find out what kind of place this is, then the anti-United Nations forces, which have always paid attention to tactical reconnaissance, will really waste Yang Zhen's painstaking efforts back then.
It's just that for strategic reasons, this Japanese army's ammunition and material hoarding point has never been started. After all, in the battlefield east of Texas, it is necessary to entangle these two divisions in this direction. That is, they cannot be killed at once, nor can they be driven away, and they can be thrown into other battlefields.
That is to say, in the previous battlefield east of Texas, the Anti-Japanese Union kept these two enemy forces on the bright side, so as to free up their hands to focus the entire strategic focus on the battlefield west of Texas. It's not a face-to-face anti-alliance, and I didn't know that this was a tactical supply point in the western part of Leling and the eastern battlefield of Ningjin. Such an obvious target is not chosen as the main fire blockade area, but in what direction?
Just when Ben Fanjiu Dazuo was cautious and painstakingly calculated, most of the troops who had barely withdrawn arrived at the material hoarding point of the 259th Wing in the west of Dingligang Village, and were busy replenishing ammunition and dry food. And wait for the final retreat, when there are not yet more than two hundred people.
A period of intensive rocket rain covered this small village with no Chinese because it was selected by the Japanese army as a material hoarding point. After the violent explosion subsided, less than a third of the thousands of people who had been withdrawn with great effort by Ben Fanjiu Dazuo had worked so hard to withdraw.
The 122 rocket artillery of the Anti-United Nations cannot do it by firing accurately like a barreled artillery. However, at the time of launching, the dispersion area is somewhat large, and the work of covering and blocking the firepower is a hand-held pinch. More than 400 122 rockets fell in a short period of time, directly covering this small natural village.
Some of the ammunition hoarded by the 259th Wing in the village was detonated by the rockets that came at it, which invisibly enhanced its lethality. The detonated bullets and shells form a killing range that is not much smaller than that of rockets. The explosive ammunition, combined with the dense shells that came in a very short period of time, directly caused heavy casualties to the Japanese troops in the village.
The 122 rocket artillery of the Anti-United Nations is a little worse than that of the barreled artillery. But the directional tube launch mechanism made of seamless steel tubes is compared to the rail-oriented launchers of the Katyusha of the Soviets. The accuracy of some rockets with this more elaborate design is still much better, not to mention such a big target as Ligang Village?
More than 400 rockets fell in just a few minutes, and the smoke of gunpowder fell. Except for the remnants of the two brigades that were still a few hundred meters away from the village and had not yet had time to enter the village, more than 200 people escaped. Of most of the remnants of the 259th Wing in Dingligang Village, less than 100 people survived.
This wing was left by Shinichi Yanagawa for this breakthrough and served as the heavy burden of covering the break. Before he could fire a shot, there was not much left of the shells. From barely having a large group of troops in a patchwork piece, it has plummeted to the number of only one squadron remaining.
You must know that this 259th Wing was before, because the combat scope was at the junction of the two divisions. Although it was not like the 115th Division, it did not receive much from Uchiyama Eitaro from time to time, but it was better to have some reinforcements. However, the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Shinichi Yanagawa still attached great importance to it.
Non-combatants such as sappers and baggage soldiers have not been replenished in this direction. But the importance of the direction of operations also means that responsibility and pressure are equally important. The direction in which the 259th Wing is located has always been the key direction for the Anti-Japanese Federation to carry out tactical counterattacks. Ben Fanjiu Dazuo was speechless for a long time, why did this counterattack come at him.
After more than 20 days of hard fighting, although the 259th Wing was the only one of the three wings of the entire 120th Division to obtain a partial supplementary wing, it was also the one with the highest casualties among the three wings of the 120th Division. These 1,000 people, plus the more than 300 people who stayed on the front line and continued to persevere, are already all the remaining belongings of the 259th Wing after continuous replenishment.
If it weren't for Yanagawa Shinichi's time of time, half of the engineer wing, two baggage squadrons plus two search wings, and the 12th Army's 120th Division, 400 of the 1,000 supplementary soldiers added to this 259th Wing, I am afraid that they would have been exhausted long ago.
However, facts have proved that the Japanese army is not omnipotent from heaven to earth, and it is not majestic on any battlefield. In the absence of superiority in firepower, in the absence of superiority in terrain. On this bare plain, it is also a toothless tiger.
Even because of the important advantage in the direction of operations, thousands of soldiers were replenished one after another. But also because of the important direction of the operation, it has become the 259th Wing that focuses on taking care of the Xiàng in person, and there is only so little left of the thousands of people who were withdrawn in the end.
As a result, these thousands of remnants were defeated, and at the last moment before they ran away, they were wiped out by Tao Jingfei's rocket shells. The last group of evacuees left were more than 200 people who had not yet arrived at Dingli Pole, plus more than 100 people who had escaped by luck.
Before the intensive explosion of hundreds of shells exploded almost simultaneously, the lucky 200 or so men who rushed into the village to rescue were pulled out of a house that had been blown down and escaped. But in the face of the miserable scene in front of him, Ben Fanjiu Dazuo, who wanted to cry without tears, woke up from the nightmarish artillery fire.
The two battalions of the 1st Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which had been killed from the direction of Huangjia Town, had already rushed in front of them. The Ben Fanjiu Dazuo, as well as his only remaining subordinates, were directly surrounded by the ruins of the Dingli pole. Although he was almost beaten as a bare-bones commander, this Ben Shijiu Dazuo still has some courage.
But the problem is that most of the time, courage alone cannot save the endgame, nor can it change the fate of failure. These more than 300 remnants of the army were defeated, facing the anti-United Nations tiger and wolf army that rushed forward. Although they are barely resisting by relying on the ruins of the village, everyone knows that this is just a dying struggle.
The two infantry battalions that Tao Jingfei put in at Dingli Pole were not all infantry. In addition to most of the regiment's support and direct-aim fire, a divisional quadruple anti-aircraft machine gun company, a divisional 76-mm cannon battery, and six flamethrowers from the divisional anti-chemical warfare battalion were reinforced. In terms of firepower comparison, the two sides are not of the same grade.
&nbsbsbsbs were the last to be withdrawn, and the only relatively intact 200 people, who had not yet had time to replenish their ammunition. Most of the ammunition that had been carried with him was reserved for the unlucky ones who were still holding on, except for the small amount of ammunition necessary, according to the retreat order that Ben had long ago with.
The Japanese soldiers who had planned to withdraw to the Dingli pole line for supplies did not bring down a single heavy machine gun. Although they carried two light machine guns, they only had more than 100 rounds of ammunition combined. Although there are more than 100 rifles, the average rifle has only 10 rounds per rifle. Two grenadiers, together there are only six grenades.
Although Li Gong Village is said to be an ammunition hoarding point of the 259th Wing, the ammunition stored here has long been wiped out. That is to say, Ben Fanjiu still has a little strength in his hands, but there is very little ammunition. And this point is the most fatal for Ben Fanjiu Dazuo, who refused to resist the persuasion of the United Nations.
Even if the 259th Wing can fight again without ammunition, it will be a vicious dog without teeth at best. In the face of the anti-aircraft machine guns fired from the United Nations, plus the 76-mm cannon that was close to the horizontal, plus the flamethrower and the tactical coordination of various direct-aim firepower, the tactics of multi-attack were adopted, and there was no way to resist at all.
Ben Shigejiu and his empty-handed subordinates want to use the spirit of the Imperial Army's bushido to fight a white-knuckle battle with the enemy. But in the face of all automatic firepower, his idea is obviously not a good choice. It could almost be said that it was like sending people to death.
Before waiting for the three bullet boxes on their bodies, the Japanese soldiers raised their three-zero rifles with bayonets in their hands and came into contact with the pair rushing in front of them to the distance where they could fight white-knuckle combat. The dense bullets that came from the front directly knocked these senseless imperial warriors of the Japanese army into a hornet's nest.
The anti-coalition troops who rushed into Dingli Pole Village, in accordance with the orders of their superiors to fight quickly and decisively, did not entangle themselves too much with these Japanese troops at all. For these Japanese soldiers who are hiding in the ruins and still trying to resist. Under the open circuit of the flamethrower, a skilled tactical group cooperates with multiple attacks.
The Japanese who encountered resistance either used grenades to drive them out of the ruins and ruins of their support, and used their automatic fire to destroy them. Or use the automatic rifles in their hands to cross-cooperate and beat the Japanese army into a hornet's nest. He even mobilized 60 artillery to carry out a targeted killing, and wiped out the Japanese army that dared to resist cleanly......
The final ground battle on the battlefield of Ningli pole lasted only an hour before it came to a complete end. The remaining remnants of the 259th Wing's more than 300 remnants were defeated, and the so-called stubborn resistance did not even set off a single wave. At the end of the hour-long ground battle, all the remaining 300 people were killed, except for more than 20 people who were captured.
