Chapter 127: The Battle of Qinglong Village (1)
Qinglong Mountain is a peak in the Zhangbaling Mountain Range, why it is called this name, no one knows the reason, the age is too long. Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, there has been Qinglong Village here, which has been constantly occupied by bandits, the official army has been encircled and suppressed again and again, the cottage has been burned down, and it has been rebuilt again and again.
From resisting the government to resisting foreign enemies, Qinglongzhai has always been a den of thieves in the eyes of the government, everyone is unwilling to get involved here, and there is no arable land in the mountains, so it can't feed the people, so it has always been deserted.
After the opening of Jinpu Road, the mountains are not as good as before, after all, Zhang Baling is not a deep mountain, and the train passes through the mountains, which naturally drives the economy on both sides and gathers a lot of popularity.
In order to ensure the safety of the railway, the government intensified its efforts to suppress it, and once let the bandits here be wiped out. With the beginning of the civil war, the warlords were fighting, the people were struggling to make a living, and those who fled from the war and rebellion against the warlords, plus some people who committed crimes and escaped, bandits and bandits began to appear in the Zhangbaling Mountains again.
After Guo Shicai and the others occupied this place, after all, there was still a difference between them and the real bandits, which made the surroundings popular. However, with the burning and looting of the Japanese attack, the small number of villagers in the surrounding area fled.
The surrounding villages have decreased, and the roads into the mountains have become even more depressed, and there is not a single person in sight. To the east from Qinglongzhai is the railway occupied by the Japanese army. Wangjia Village, which is close to Qinglong Village, also has more than 20 miles. Originally, there was no road to Qinglong Village, but there have always been people in Qinglong Village, whether it is bandits or mountain people, and there will be a road out after a long time.
The road is not wide, but it is smooth, and it is still no problem to pass through the carriage. Qinglongzhai is built on the hillside, there is a large wasteland in front of the cottage, and a road leads to Wangjia Village in the distance.
Nakamura Akiki attacked Qinglong Village, and the first to suffer was Wangjia Village, a small village that was killed by devils and burned down many houses.
Now that the devils are attacking again, the villagers who know the news have already run away, so when the 6th Wing of the Japanese Army, Kuronaga Tatsuji Osa, led a wing here, the small village was already empty, quiet and dilapidated.
Kuraga Chenzhi Dazuo stationed the wing headquarters here, and there are less than twenty miles ahead of Qinglong Village. He didn't dare to stay at the foot of the mountain, and in the face of the famous Snow Fox Brigade, Kuraga Tatsuji couldn't be careless.
Although the information I got said that the cunning female captain of the Snow Fox Brigade didn't know what to do, and the captain was the squadron leader under her, but Snow Fox had the same lineage and treacherous tactics, and Kuraga Chenji couldn't be careless.
The Japanese army may not be able to dispatch a wing against a national integrated division, and if that were the case, the strength of the Imperial Japanese Army might not be enough at all. When attacking in one direction, most of them are based on wings, and the actual attacks are based on brigades, and one squadron is enough to attack fortified positions.
But this attack on the snow fox, which was less than 1,000 people, the division commander actually ordered a wing, which shows the importance attached to the snow fox. Kuraga Chenzhi didn't dare to be careless, so it was better to be cautious. In the words of the Chinese, that is, you can't capsize in the gutter.
In this way, Kuraga Chenzhi placed the wing headquarters in Wangjia Village and sent people to inquire about the news and understand the surrounding situation. The result made him both relieved and worried, relieved that there were no Chinese troops around, and there was only such a snow fox brigade here.
What worries is that Snow Fox knew that the imperial army was coming with so many people, and they actually put on a firm posture in Qinglong Village, and did not make any other moves. Could it be that Liu Yuanshan thought that they could resist the attack of a wing of the Imperial Japanese Army with only eight or nine hundred people?
Kuronaga Tatsuharu Daisa, who was very careful in battle, did not rush to attack, but stayed overnight. Early the next morning, a brigade was sent forward to Qinglong Village for a tentative attack. The artillery brigade of the wing did not follow up, but the artillery squadron of the 1st brigade had two 92 infantry guns, and these forces had already surpassed the strength of Snow Fox.
The artillery was building a position in front of the mountain, and a brigade of devils was gathering. Standing on a somewhat raised earthen hill, the captain of the brigade, Toshio Miki, held a telescope to look at the Qinglong Village in the distance.
The cottage is not high, it is not dangerous, and there is no position outside, that is, the Snow Fox Brigade is all inside the cottage. The walled wall turned out to be made of wood, how could such a walled wall block the shells of the Imperial Japanese Army?
There are no people in the whole cottage, it is quiet inside, and there is no human figure, only the Chinese military flag fluttering on the wall and in the village, which proves that this is the place guarded by the Chinese army, and the whole cottage exudes a strange atmosphere.
Toshio Miki can't look at it like this, so what is he here for? Wave your hand and let the first squadron attack and see how it goes. Conducting a tentative attack with a squadron is already a very extravagant operation for Toshio Miki, and it is enough to pay attention to the Snow Fox Brigade.
He didn't carry out artillery bombardment, and he didn't even know what was going on inside, and he opened fire without knowing what was going on, and the Great Japanese Imperial Army was too wasteful. Every commander of the army understood that Japan was not rich, and besides, they had a brigade with only two 92 infantry guns and limited ammunition.
Toshio Miki held a telescope to observe the other party's firepower, it seems that the cottage is intended to hold on, the outside of the wall is very smooth, there are no rocks and trees, obviously this open area is deliberately cleared shooting boundary. It was not much of a favor for the attacking Japanese army.
The squadron leader of the attack, Ichiro Miyamoto, also understood that they were trying to attack, looking for firing points and defensive arrangements for the artillery. With regard to such a cottage, the reconnaissance plane has no effect and cannot provide reconnaissance photos, because after all, the dense trees in the mountains are not conducive to reconnaissance, so they can only attack by such methods.
Ichiro Miyamoto spread his forces very widely, and on a plane more than 100 meters wide, he scattered less than 200 soldiers and attacked in a straggler formation. In this way, it was difficult for the opponent's artillery fire and machine guns to play a role, and the Japanese grenadiers and machine guns, coupled with the accurate shooting of the soldiers, had a certain power.
Ichiro Miyamoto, who was holding a pistol, was also very careful, and had entered within 300 meters of the cottage, but the cottage still did not move at all.
Miyamoto Ichiro thought, didn't the Snow Fox Brigade escape? It's an empty cottage. However, the front is the only way to leave Qinglong Mountain, and without getting the news, it is impossible, but why? Whether he wanted to understand it or not, the devil soldiers did not pause, and they were still approaching the wall step by step.
It is clear that the front wall is made of logs with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters, which is very tight, and there are no gaps, and he can't see the situation inside, so he can only get closer to it a little bit.
Toshio Miki Nakasa, who was in the distance behind, was very strange and a little nervous, he didn't know what to be nervous about, after all, the Imperial Japanese Army had several times more troops than Snow Fox.
Two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, there was still no movement in the cottage, this distance could not be hesitated any longer, he drew his command knife and pointed forward, and the Japanese army accelerated its pace.
The devil can't look from above, and he doesn't know what's inside. This was set up by the Snow Fox Brigade over several days, with a lot of effort and everyone believing that they could win. Miss Captain said that victory is reserved for those who are prepared, and they are prepared.
The big pit that took more than ten days to prepare in Qinglong Village would definitely bury the devil, but the devil did not come. When the reconnaissance team reported that a Japanese wing had set off from Chuxian County and entered Wangjia Village to prepare to attack Qinglongzhai, the whole brigade cheered. No one who doesn't know will not believe that in the face of the attack of a wing, anyone who hears it will be afraid and worried, and even if they are not worried and afraid, there is no reason to be so elated.
Kurayong Chenzhi Dazuo couldn't imagine how much the Snow Fox Brigade of Qinglong Village was looking forward to the devil to attack. If they don't come, wouldn't the ten days of preparation be in vain? The hard work that Snow Fox has paid for this is completely blind.
Therefore, there is a strange phenomenon, when I hear that the devil is coming, I am as happy as if a guest has come, and it is more like a hunter who sees his prey in the trap, and is looking forward to the attack of the devil.
When the news came back through the secret sentry outside that the 6th Wing was stationed in Wangjia Village, and Cangyong Chenzhi sent a brigade to attack, Liu Yuanshan and Dai Zong actually high-fived each other in celebration, as if they had gained some benefits, and Xue Ru shook his head.
I heard that the devil is so excited to attack, I'm afraid that only the Snow Fox Brigade can do such a strange behavior.
At this time, the soldiers inside the wall began to remove the wooden wedges on them, which were moving, and each place was taken down as a shooting hole, but it was not very clear from a distance. Besides, the devil does not enter within 200 meters and does not open it, and what he sees in the distance is a log wall.
The devils who entered within 200 meters did not notice that there were many shooting holes on the wall of the log wall, and the muzzle of the rifle was aimed at the devils outside.
Very good, there are more than 100 people shooting outside. This is the direction and position of the design, and the direction in which more than a hundred guns are fired is just enough to cover the entire width in front of the cottage, because not all the firing ports are facing one direction.
The Snow Fox soldiers began to take aim, and this was exactly when Ichiro Miyamoto picked up the speed of his attack. The guard soldiers of a squadron, with such a small shooting hole, can only see the devils in front, and they can't do it if they want to hit in other directions, so it's still very easy to aim.
"Hit" with a soft shout, more than 100 shots were fired at the same time. The Japanese army's way of dispersing was right in the design inside, and dozens of people fell at that time, and the rest hurriedly lay down and raised their guns to shoot. But how can you shoot so accurately in a hurry, let alone how small each shooting hole is. The soldiers inside joked, unless the devils are all snipers, if they can be hit, it can only be their own bad luck.
With this kind of thinking, no one is afraid, and they can rest assured that they aim and shoot, and the hit rate reaches 50 percent; this kind of walled wall is a method that has been developed by hundreds of people, and then there are commanders who understand military operations to study it, of course, it is very sharp, and the devils will suffer a big loss when they come up. What is even more infuriating is that when the soldiers who shot this shot finished this shot and pushed the bullets to load, the second batch of bullets came out, which were other shooting holes.
This is the premise that Xue Ru gave to officers and soldiers, "rhythm and division of labor". If it is a normal positional battle, if the officer gives the order to fight, the soldier will shoot as many people as possible, but the rifle will be loaded again, and it will take two or three seconds at the earliest, and the opponent will return fire at this time, which will inevitably cause the shooting to be interrupted. What's more, there are fast and slow hands, accurate and inaccurate shooting, and coupled with panic, the bullet may not know where to shoot. Therefore, the heavy firepower of machine guns such continuous fire is needed.
But the snow foxes are all prescribed, and only half of the soldiers shoot them, and after they shoot them, they load the bullets. While they were pushing the bullets, another group of shots was fired, and after five shots, two teams stepped back and pressed the bullets into the guns, while the other team of soldiers stepped forward and began to shoot. More than 400 people formed four teams, firing continuously, and the bullets did not stop.
The cottage is above, and the Japanese army is below, condescending, and it is flat land, there is no shelter, and it is useless for the devil to lie down, and it is impossible to escape the fate of being shot.
Miyamoto Ichiro Shaoza, who was hit in the thigh by a bullet, just doesn't understand, it's all rifles, how did Snow Fox shoot continuously? When his squadron, more than 170 people, was still 70 or 80 meters away from the wall, he had to run back with a rolling belt.
When they withdrew from range, there were only more than fifty people left with them, and more than a hundred corpses remained on the hillside. Toshio Miki, who was holding a telescope, opened his mouth wide, the gunfire on the mountain was not intense, there was no sound of machine guns, not even the sound of * explosions, and one of his squadrons killed and wounded more than a hundred people.
Ichiro Miyamoto was already wounded, and he couldn't blame him, after all, he had never seen this kind of tactic. After calming down, he ordered the infantry artillery to fire, but the shells could not reach the level of accuracy of dozens of square meters, this kind of log wall was only 20 centimeters thick, and it was impossible for the shells to destroy it at once when they hit the roots, so the damage to the wooden wall was not great, and the machine gun bullets could only hit the sawdust together.
The soldiers inside had already dodged, leaving only the observing soldiers to stare at the devils outside. It took more than 20 minutes, half an hour of shelling.
Looking at the blackened by gunsmoke, it is not too strong, but it is a wooden wall that does not fall, and Toshio Miki has no rut. I had to order two squadrons to attack in echelons, bring in heavy machine guns to shoot, suppress fire, cover the grenadiers in front, attack with *, and also send soldiers to follow up and prepare to blow up the wooden wall with *.
This time, Toshio Miki is no longer retreating, he wants to attack it in one go. This kind of wooden walled wall also has a weakness, that is, it is not strong and cannot resist continuous attacks. Regardless of ammunition to carry out firepower, even if you hit, you can also break the wooden wall.
Sure enough, the return fire inside began to thin out, the grenadier was too easy to use, and the wall connected with wood began to crumble, unable to resist the continuous bombing and vibration, and the Japanese army also approached the wall little by little. As long as his soldiers lean on it, they can blow the wall away.
Toshio Miki had a smug smile on his face, although the attack on him had lost almost two squadrons, but as long as this wall was destroyed, the Snow Fox Brigade would be waiting to be destroyed. He also threw the last squadron into battle. I saw that the soldiers in front of me were approaching the wall.
There was not much firing in it, and he had to order the machine guns to stop firing, and the grenadiers to stop. The Japanese soldiers all stood up and howled and rushed towards the wall, even if they pushed it with people, they could also knock it down.
Toshio Miki couldn't help but want to laugh, this kind of fortification can also block the attack of the Imperial Japanese Army? Joke. The order for a general offensive was given.
If the snow fox has only prepared this ability in the past ten days, can the soldiers look forward to the devil's attack so much?
Inside, Xiao Yong shouted: "Quick, are you done?" Retreat to the second line of defense, retreat. ”
