Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Jedi Strikes Back (7)
It is indeed strange, even the attacking 36th Division is very strange, the signal flare is not a civilian thing, as long as it is the army, it will understand that it will not fire signal flares for no reason. Doesn't attack, but fires signal flares, isn't this a notification to the devils?
It's really puzzling, but only those who know understand that even this kind of trivial matter has an eye for the heart, so that those who know this plan can't help but admire, Xue Ru is worthy of the title of Snow Fox, it's too ghostly.
In fact, this signal is for Tian Jiasheng, who is lurking forward, and their guard squadron has always been used in parallel with Dai Zong's special operations squadron as special forces. At this time, the two squadrons with the smallest number of men all dispersed, taking advantage of the darkness and street buildings, to sneak in the direction of the Japanese army.
When the signal flare is raised, it is naturally the first to attract the attention of the Japanese army's secret posts, mobile sentinels and search soldiers in front, and they want to send signals to the rear to convey the message, which is the easiest time to be exposed.
Many Japanese soldiers lurking in the building house were exposed, and they wanted to find out what this flare meant. Before they could figure it out, they were spotted by the snow fox guards and special operations teams armed with bayonets and pounced.
Two squadrons, more than 300 people, scattered along the whole line and cleared in this direction. This is the principle of infiltration operations, not letting go of a shot, solving it with a bayonet, and the sentries who are in ambush are killed. Another unit that acts on the basis of flares is the unit that has been hidden and never used.
The only anti-aircraft artillery company in the city of Nanjing had only six German 20-caliber anti-aircraft guns. Because Xiao Shanling is the commander of Nanjing's air defense, this unit is also in his hands. When Xue Ru came into contact with Xiao Shanling, no matter how rampant the Japanese planes were, Xue Ru just didn't let them be used, and the anti-aircraft guns of this company were hidden.
So that everyone didn't understand why, sometimes, the Japanese reconnaissance planes were hovering overhead, and it was easy to shoot down, but Xue Ru's order was not to let it, and the anti-aircraft artillery company was always hiding.
Today is the time to break through the decisive battle, and the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery company, Ouyang Sari, was found by Xue Ru, and it turned out that he asked his anti-aircraft artillery company to participate in the battle. This makes him very strange, anti-aircraft guns are used to fight planes and are used for air defense, how can anti-aircraft guns be used in breakthrough warfare?
When Wu Yuzhao and Lan Xun Zhou told him about the tactics, Ouyang Sari couldn't close his mouth, admired, admired, and even thought of this. This anti-aircraft gun is only more than 400 kilograms, which can be considered a light anti-aircraft gun, and they are of the type towed by a motor vehicle.
According to Xue Ru's order, six cars were brought in, and the soldiers, with great effort, put the anti-aircraft gun on the car, and a mobile anti-aircraft gun appeared.
This made Ouyang Sari very excited, in this way, their anti-aircraft guns can run and fight, there is this way, why not use it all the time? Ouyang Sari didn't figure it out. In fact, you can move, you are not afraid of planes, and you can change positions at any time.
The only drawback is that there are no protective positions, which are easy to attack. Xue Ru did not use an anti-aircraft artillery battery to fight against the aircraft, because it was too small and the ammunition was limited, and the six guns, once discovered by the Japanese planes, even if he could move, he would not be able to resist the hordes of planes.
Nanjing has no place to add to this little bit of family background. Good steel is used on the blade, and then used at critical moments, and it is Xue Ru's principle to exert his greatest power.
Today is a battle, Xue Ru used everything he could use, and then mobilized anti-aircraft guns to participate in the battle. After Wu Yuzhao and their explanation, Ouyang Sari understood that Xue Ru was not using them against aircraft, but against Japanese tanks.
This is also what Xue Ru racked his brains to come up with, the Japanese army's bean chariot, that is, the Type 95 tank, has very thin armor, but the machine gun can't penetrate him, but it can't resist the bullets of this kind of anti-aircraft gun.
According to Xue Ru's understanding, this kind of anti-aircraft gun with a caliber of 20mm can only be regarded as an anti-aircraft machine gun, but it is still no problem to hit Japanese tanks at close range. The main thing is that it has a long range, which is why the anti-aircraft artillery battery is being attacked today.
Six cars hidden in the house drove out, and as the red signal flares rose, Ouyang Sari shouted, "Forward." ”
Six cars drove down the street in the direction of the Japanese positions. It was night, and the range of such anti-aircraft guns was one and a half hundred meters. This is the effective range, his ruler range is 2,800 meters, the dark post in front was cleared by Xue Ru's special combat team, and the six cars were parked more than a thousand meters away. At this distance, the human eye could not see anything at night, and it was not within the range of the Japanese mortars.
The four cars turned around with their tails pointed in the direction of the Japanese troops. This is a twin-mounted anti-aircraft gun, that is, two barrels, five shells at a time, which is not much, which is equal to twelve muzzles aimed at the direction of the Japanese army.
"Bang, bang" Two slight sounds, two green signal flares rose into the sky, and Ouyang Sari shouted: "Hit." ”
The car trembled, the anti-aircraft guns with flat barrels fired a burst of tongues, and the Japanese troops a thousand meters away all got up and entered the position because of the signal flares, the machine guns were mounted, and the mortars and grenadiers were also ready, waiting for the attacking troops to appear.
With the green signal flare, Liu Yuanshan's attack squadron jumped up and rushed towards the Japanese position, which was a kilometer away, and after a few minutes, the Japanese army could see the attacking troops, but the Japanese army was attacked in advance.
This anti-aircraft artillery projectile is not dense, six guns, only ten shells in one shot, a total of sixty rounds at a time. However, at such a distance, the temporary fortifications of the Japanese army could not resist at all, and besides, hitting people could also string sugar gourds. On the frontal position, the machine-gun bunkers did nothing and were directly destroyed.
The six artillery trucks did not fire indiscriminately, but stared at the fire in the distance, and machine gun fire could not hide the muzzle flame, as long as the gun was fired, the target was immediately exposed. It's a handjob weapon, and it's too easy to wreck a machine gun.
When the first squadron of Snow Fox rushed up, the Japanese machine-gun position did nothing, they were destroyed as soon as they fired, not only people died, but the machine guns could not resist such shells, only the rifle could not stop the rapid attack of Liu Yuanshan's squadron.
Within one or two hundred meters, the power of light machine guns was brought into play, and dozens of light machine guns against rifles had too obvious advantages. The frantic rain of bullets couldn't stop the Snow Fox's attack at all. In this way, in ten minutes, the tightly defended Japanese position was killed by Liu Yuanshan, and the first sharp knife troops were disruptive and rushed to both sides.
In close combat, the Japanese 38 rifle was not the opponent of * and pistol, and for the first time, the night sky sounded the horn of the charge, and the second wave of attack, Xiao Yong, Qiao Han, and Lai Changwen rushed towards the Japanese position.
With the charge, Zhong Bin gave the order for a general attack, which was a dense attack of tens of thousands of people, and the Japanese army was also tens of thousands of people.
There were 10,000 people, boundless, the Japanese tanks started, but they were not afraid of the infantry, and began to counterattack, wanting to crush the attacking Snow Fox Brigade. But who knows, the anti-aircraft guns that provide long-range fire support are here to deal with them.
In terms of shooting accuracy, the Japanese tank's artillery is not as fast as the anti-aircraft gun on the car, the combat vehicle is a chain rail, and they do not move as fast as Ouyang Sari, the most annoying thing is that this kind of anti-aircraft artillery can move, and it will leave the place after a few shots. Besides, there was no ballistic trajectory to look for in the flat fire of the anti-aircraft artillery, and the infantry guns and mountain artillery behind the Japanese could not fire at such a close distance.
Ouyang Sari excitedly stood on the pedal of the car and shouted: "Aim and hit, hurry, there is another one over there." ”
Five shells were fired at a time, and the driver and gunner inside the vehicle were either killed or wounded. In order to avoid this kind of shooting, it soon became their dodge, and they were forced to move around by only six anti-aircraft artillery vehicles, unable to stop the attacking troops.
Besides, Liu Yuanshan and Xiao Yong, who came in later, the cluster* in their hands is not an ornament, there is no cover of infantry, and this kind of chariot has no advantage at all, after all, they are being forced close to their side.
Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu, who was sleeping, woke up, he was not panicked, and he calculated that the Snow Fox Corps, which had always sneak attacked, would not let go of the opportunity, he had tens of thousands of troops, which could be eliminated at once. Do they abandon all other directions and attack themselves all? Immediately give the order, don't panic, stabilize your position, and block the attacking Snow Fox Corps.
Not counting the strength of the snow fox was Gu Shoufu's biggest mistake, how did he know that the attacking force was more than 10,000 people, and it was the 36th Division of the German Armor Division with quite good combat effectiveness.
What was most unbearable for him was that the eight squadrons of the Snow Fox Corps, which rushed into the defensive circle of the Japanese army, were rampage in four groups, and there was no law at all. This is not in line with the principle of a sneak attack at night, and it is impossible to fight like this, whether it is a rout or an encirclement battle.
Gu Shoufu, who received the report, was completely angry, he really didn't have the Great Japanese Imperial Army in his eyes, and two or three thousand troops dared to enter the center, isn't this looking for death? Immediately the order was given, and the wings surrounded and annihilated these attacking Chinese troops.
The two squadrons were a group, and gradually became a squadron and a group, rushing and killing indiscriminately. This kind of irregular combat made it impossible for the Japanese army to command the encirclement and annihilation, and it turned into a snow fox running and the Japanese army chasing.
This is in the urban area, although the area is large enough, but there are many buildings, it is not easy to catch. Besides, the few squadrons that entered the central area also had no goals, and where there were devils rushing to them.
As far as the Japanese army was concerned, they had never seen this kind of fighting, and some squadron leaders and group commanders did not know how to deal with it, and they blocked and pursued everywhere. Without the snow fox stirring, the Japanese army itself will be in chaos. Another point is that more than 20,000 troops, concentrated in an area of more than 10 square kilometers, are somewhat too concentrated, and it is impossible to say that they are in an open field.
In this kind of encounter, who reacts quickly and who takes advantage, the snow fox looks chaotic, but there is also a little rule, each squadron has a direction, and the Japanese army does not know. Besides, there are many of them, and there are few snow foxes, so snow foxes have to have a lot less scruples.
Besides, in addition to the red silk scarf around the neck, the snow fox also has a white towel on the arm to distinguish its own people. But the Japanese army didn't, it was a night battle, and when the Japanese army judged that it was not their own people, the Snow Fox squadron had already started fighting.
Melee combat, street fighting, pistols, and * were more powerful than rifles, so that although the Japanese were three or four times as strong as the Snow Fox Brigade that came in, they could not trap them, but instead disrupted their own ranks.
The battle was raging, and although the Japanese suffered much more casualties, after all, there were many people and a well-trained army, and their combat effectiveness was still very strong. After a long time, Snow Fox is definitely not an opponent. The longer the time, the more relieved Gu Shoufu became, he had the idea of eliminating the Snow Fox Corps, which was a battle achievement.
He gave an order to stabilize the troops, tried his best to press the snow fox to the middle, and surrounded them in the center, and a soldier outside ran in: "Report, the Chinese army is attacking in a big way, and we are surrounded. ”
Gu Shoufu was stunned for a moment, and Sasaki Yoshiyoshi said in surprise: "Division commander, Xiao Shanling wants to destroy us?" ”
Gu Shoufu also understood, surrounded the 6th Division, and attacked in an all-out way, that is, the defenders of Nanjing wanted to abandon Nanjing. Thinking of the United States, he said: "Report to the headquarters, ask for reinforcements, encircle the Chinese army, let other troops attack, and occupy Nanjing in one fell swoop." ”
"Hi" Ryasaki Yoshirichi Tachimasa, report to King Hatohiko of the Asabamiya. As soon as he entered the city, Commander Asaka was woken up by the chief of staff, understood the situation and said: "Order the 114th Division and the 9th Division to reinforce the 6th Division and encircle and annihilate the Chinese army." The 16th and 3rd Divisions were ordered to attack overnight, and I wanted to wipe them all out in Nanjing. ”
Xue Ru's plan was also based on this, the 6th Division was encircled and annihilated, and it was impossible for King Hatohiko of the Asamiya to ignore him, with the 114th Division on one side and the 9th Division on the other, he must use two divisions to encircle his own troops and order the Japanese troops in other directions to attack the center, so as to not only destroy himself, but also fully occupy Nanjing, which is the most basic idea.
The key is that the Japanese army did not know that Xue Ru had more than 20,000 troops, and he thought that there were only more than 10,000. Then, once you know that there are more than 10,000 people who encircled and annihilated the 6th Division, you will think that it is the entire force, which is a psychological calculation of the play.
Sure enough, when King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya knew that the 6th Division was surrounded and defeated, he thought of this tactic and ordered the 9th Division on the left and the 114th Division on the right to reinforce the 6th Division and encircle them to eliminate them. The 16th Division was used to attack the center and occupy Nanjing in one fell swoop. All this was calculated by Xue Ru, and it was also doomed to the defeat of the Japanese army.
Another reason is that King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace learned that the attack was more than 10,000 troops, and the 6th Division was also more than 10,000 people, which could not be eliminated in a short time. The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army still made them very confident.
It was this self-confidence that made King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace fail. How did he know that this was Xue Ru's Jedi counterattack, and in the end, he fought to the death, using the most powerful force, and even the Japanese tank wing did not play a role.
There was another accident that even Xue Ru didn't expect, that is, Xiao Yong and Qiao Han, as well as Lai Changwen, in order to fight for merit, left part of their squadron to fight against the Japanese army, and drew out two squads to kill the Japanese division headquarters behind.
This team didn't care about it, and even avoided the Japanese army, taking advantage of the dark night, and directly killed the Min family's house, which was Gu Shoufu's division headquarters.
