Chapter 49: The Decisive Battle

In the middle of November, at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang, the troops of China and Japan formed a complex formation with Yushan and Jiangshan as two points. Among them, in the Yushan direction, the main force of Suzuki Shimono's 13th Division was surrounded by two divisions of the Xuesan Army and one brigade of the Xuesan Army in Qunli and Xianqun, and in turn, the two divisions of the Xuesanjun Army were also sandwiched by the 13th Division and the 9th Division in the southwest of Jiangshan. After Jiang Guangnai's Fourth Army joined the battlefield, the retreat of the 9th Division back to Qingyuan was blocked, and it was also blocked by the Third Army and the Fourth Army. With the end of the battle in Shangrao and Yingtan, the Xuesan Army freed up its hands and began to support the Xuesan Army Mechanized Infantry Brigade besieging a small group of Japanese troops in Yushan. In this way, from the northwest, the Scholar Army has already occupied an absolute numerical superiority, and the rout of the Japanese army in Yushan is only a matter of time. However, with the 3rd Division of the Kawabe Shozo from Hangzhou to Yushan, it has now arrived in the Kaihua area, and it can join the battlefield in a short time. In this way, the situation on the entire battlefield suddenly became confusing.

At this point, whether Ouyang Yun wanted it or not, this attack, which was originally only launched for the purpose of landing operations on Taiwan, had already formed a decisive battle situation between the Scholar Army and the South China Front Army.

When Ouyang Yun was still in Changsha and Xue Yue were drinking and discussing the situation and discussing the alliance, Yushan, under the command of Li Hansoul, a new round of offensive against the Japanese army in Yushan began.

"Boom!" With the sound of an explosion, a section of the city wall in the northwest of Yushan was finally blasted, and with the tick-tock trumpet, the officers and soldiers of the 11th Regiment of the 13th Brigade, who served as the first attacker, rushed towards the gap under the leadership of the regiment commander Tan Xiaoyong, who was closely following behind a Jiguang tank.

As the battle continued, there were only about 800 devils left in the city's original two brigades, including more than 300 light and serious wounded. The Japanese army was fierce, and it was not until this battle that it was truly remembered by the soldiers of the Cadet Army.

The Jiguang tank successfully broke through the smoke of gunpowder, rushed into the gap, and rushed into the street next to the city wall. The Heavy was trying to find his target, when suddenly, a Molotov cocktail strapped to his body rushed out from the side.

Obviously, the Japanese army in the city is running out of ammunition, and even cluster grenades cannot be made, and these Molotov cocktails must be made of gasoline from the truck's mailbox.

The distance was too close, even if the dozen or so fighters who followed immediately opened fire, this devil still pounced on the tank in the explosion of Molotov cocktails, and immediately, the Jiguang tank was covered by the raging flames.

In a closed situation, the thick armor of the Jiguang tank is not afraid of this level of burning and explosion, but just after the tank was ignited, a battle defense gun was quickly pushed over by several devils, and then, at a distance of more than 30 meters, this group of fierce devils opened fire.

There was a loud "boom", and then a continuous explosion, the tank was penetrated, and then there was a martyrdom, and the four crew members of the tank were killed, along with a dozen cadets who were following nearby.

When the first explosion sounded, Tu Dai instinctively wanted to lie down as the instructor had taught. Tu Dai is a recruit who has just been replenished from the reserves, and according to the instructor who led the team, the young man has very accurate marksmanship and has the potential to become a sniper, but he is a little more delicate.

The instructor said it very tactfully, and Xiuqi actually meant that he was relatively timid.

Tu Dai knew about this shortcoming in his body, and for this reason, he was ridiculed by his comrades-in-arms, saying that he had the body of a man, but he was a woman's courage. Before this battle, Tu Dai secretly vowed that this battle must be particularly heroic and make his comrades-in-arms change their views on themselves.

The idea is very good, but it seems to be a bit of a problem to actually implement it, no, this series of explosions together, he was almost scared to the ground.

The squad leader Wu Dagan has been silently paying attention to him. Tudai is the only recruit in their squad, and as the squad leader, he has the right to bring him into a qualified soldier. At this time, he walked up to him, grabbed him and said, "Don't panic, follow me closely." ”

"Yes, squad leader," Tu Dai nodded repeatedly.

Wu Dagan took him with him and rushed forward with the large army.

The first tank was blown into scrap metal, blocking the gap that had just been blasted, and the passage was sealed. Another demolition team was sent out by the regimental commander, and they began to dig holes under the nearby section of the city wall to plant explosives, while others began to fire at the still burning tank and the imps to cover the demolition team's movements.

The Japanese were apparently aware of the presence of demolition crews outside the city, and from time to time grenades were thrown from the city walls at the right time. With a bang, every explosion made the hearts of the officers and men of the whole regiment tremble involuntarily.

The demolition team is concerned with their hopes of breaking through this line of defense, and at this time, many fighters would rather be bombed themselves than see their comrades killed and injured.

One of the hygienists began to drag his comrades who had just been killed from near the burning tank, and when one of them walked past Tudai with the body of a comrade who had broken one of his legs on his back, he suddenly hissed.

This warrior's name was Sun Jiazhu, and he was in the lower bunk of the reserve. The two of them have a good relationship, and they are usually brothers. Before the war, when the two of them talked about this battle, Sun Jiazhu also described to him the beautiful scene of being commended after his meritorious service, but now, he is actually dead.

"War is cruel, and people will die at any time in war, are you really ready?" He saw this in the pamphlet distributed at the application office, and he was confused at the time, and at this moment, he finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

"Boom!" The work speed of the blasting team was very fast, and with the sound of another blasting, on the left side of the city wall that had been blasted just now, a larger section of the city wall was successfully blasted, and then, the regiment commander Tan Xiaoyong once again ordered to blow the trumpet of the charge.

"Rush!" The fighters rushed forward with shouts, learning the lessons of the last time, and this time there were no tanks to clear the way for them.

Wu Dagan was about to call Tu Dai to act together, but found that his subordinate had already roared and rushed forward, and the flame of his assault rifle flickered, and on the opposite side, two devils with Molotov cocktails had just poked out half of their bodies when they were hit and deflagrated.

……

After returning from Changsha, Ouyang Yun immediately rushed to the front line of Pucheng non-stop, and then took the two regiments of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade that had returned to Wuyi Mountain for recuperation and set off to Shangrao.

In Pucheng, he met Jiang Guangnai, who had returned from the front. Jiang Guangnai came back for the Thunderbolt rocket artillery. This time he took the initiative to attack, and the Fourth Army was the most sloppy, and almost always followed the ass of the 9th Division to eat ashes, which made Jiang Guangnai hold back the fire in his belly. And the timely arrival of the Thunderbolt rocket launcher gave him a glimmer of hope for revenge.

The 9th Division, under the leadership of Okuichiro, immediately retreated to the southeast after a false shot in Pucheng, and then killed Zhongxin Town from Guantianwa and Chuanshan, rested a little in Zhongxin Town, and then pounced out of the mountain, cut off the communication line from Pucheng to Jiangshan City, and then directly crossed the communication line and killed the rear flank of the Xuesan Army. And if Zhang Da hadn't received the information detected by the wolf's tooth team in advance and made precautions in advance, the Third Army and the Eighth Division would have been surrounded by Okuichiro in the Shimen and Tanshi areas.

Okuichiro may not be the most well-known general in the Japanese army, but in this battle, he is by far the best of several Japanese generals at the level of division commander. So far, apart from the loss of one squadron of troops at Pucheng, the 9th Division has not suffered much damage.

The performance of the 9th Division in this battle was similar to that of the Second Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, which made Jiang Guangnai particularly concerned about it, and also attracted Ouyang Yun's enough attention, which was also one of the reasons why he wanted to put rocket artillery into actual combat in advance.

In that time and space, the appearance of rocket artillery made the name "Katyusha".

In this time and space, Ouyang Yun had great hopes for the Thunderbolt Fire in advance of this battle. However, after listening to Jiang Guangnai's narration, he realized that he was too subjective. The firepower density and saturation per unit time of rocket artillery are undoubtedly the most powerful among all types of artillery at present. However, its special shape was not suitable for use in mountainous areas, and because of the particularity of ammunition, the proportion of its baggage convoy was too high, which affected the marching speed of the Fourth Army. If Jiang Guangnai was ecstatic when he first received this kind of big killing weapon, then now he feels very depressed. Because, the Fourth Army, which was originally biting the tail of the 9th Division, has now been pulled away by others for three hours. A three-hour journey may be nothing, but on a battlefield where the situation is changing rapidly, there is too much room for variables, which is not done by a wise man.

With the entry of the 3rd Division into the battlefield, the superiority of the Cadet Corps in strength will be lost. And with the passage of time, the Japanese army will definitely regain its long-lost air supremacy. By that time, the advantages accumulated by the Cadet Corps at the beginning of the campaign will no longer exist.

Jiang Guangnai's point of view is that rocket artillery still needs to be used, but in order to give the Japanese army as many surprise blows as possible, it is necessary to make some adjustments in strategy and tactics. What he meant was that the Fourth Army was divided into three divisions, one division was hidden in the mountains, and two divisions were divided into two parts, one division continued to hang the tail of the 9th Division, and the other division took the Longquan line to Quzhou, creating the illusion that all the Japanese troops would be completely killed.

Jiang Guangnai said: "The 10th Division continued to pursue the 9th Division with rocket artillery, and then the 11th Division disappeared into the mountains, and the 12th Division distanced itself from the 10th Division. In this way, when Okuichiro finds out about this situation, he will definitely want to eat the ten teachers in turn. In order to eat the 10th Division as soon as possible, Okuichiro will definitely concentrate his forces in order to achieve a quick victory, so that the utility of rocket artillery will be used to the greatest extent. Ouyang, what do you think? ”
