Section 196 Counterattack on Gao'an Ninety-two

Stone's analysis of the current battlefield situation dispelled the idea that the 339th Regiment was eager to make meritorious contributions, and for Stone, the task of the 302nd Regiment in the counteroffensive Gao'an operation had been completed, and the best combat effect could be achieved as long as the city was held at present. In this way, he was naturally no longer willing to take risks to attack, and on the other hand, the losses of the 302nd Regiment after the continuous battle also made him somewhat unconfident. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the first battalion and the second company are almost all exhausted is enough for a headache, not to mention that the losses of the second battalion in the Gulouling area are also very large, and the only three battalions with relatively good troop preservation are still mainly cavalry, and the effect in positional warfare is average. In this way, let him rely on the position to defend, he still has a little confidence, if he pulls out and then attacks the devil's position, he will not be happy.

The brothers of the 57th Division commanded by Yu Chengwan are of course extremely brave, but neither the individual combat ability of the soldiers nor the weapons and equipment can be compared with the Japanese army, even if they are already a middle-to-upper unit in the national army, they are still controlled everywhere in the face of the Japanese army. Let them garrison Dacheng alone, not to mention that the Japanese troops on the front line of Fengxin may be killed at any time, even the Japanese army in Guangguang Xishan, so that they have no bottom in their hearts.

Despite this, the officers of the 339th Regiment after the meeting were still quite complaining about the stone in private. They are different from the 302nd Regiment, the 302nd Regiment has already completed the combat mission and made great contributions, and their ambush battle on the front line of Shuinan Village and the devil fought a defeat and defeat, such a record is naturally not very good for them to give to their superiors, and the initiative to attack Xiangfuguan is also the idea of making more achievements. However, after this proposal was rejected by the stone, seeing that their battle was about to end so awkwardly, that kind of loss naturally made them point the finger at the stone.

The next day, the sky just brightened, and the people of the 339th regiment, who had just woken up from their sleep, were startled by a "buzzing" roar, and rushed out of the house to look up, only to see a dense black spot flying in the sky. The roar became louder and louder, and the enemy aircraft group became more and more clear, and they were suddenly stunned when they saw the overwhelming and amazing momentum of the enemy bombers.

The officers and men of the 57th Division had not been bombed by the Japanese army, and when they were in Tianjia Town, they had already learned the power of the Japanese planes, and the repeated bombing for several days had already familiarized them with the combat routines of the Japanese army. But this time, the number of planes dispatched by the Japanese army and the magnitude of the momentum still stunned them, and it was only at this time that they knew that the words of the commander of the 302nd regiment Shi last night were not alarmist, and the Japanese army's imperative for the big city was far beyond their imagination.

"Uh......h Rumble... Boom..."The Japanese bombers flew over the city in a very short time, and these Japanese troops did not give the officers below any time to think and react, and the overwhelming* poured down from the sky, and as many as dozens of planes bombed indiscriminately, * even denser than raindrops.

In the blink of an eye, the entire city was completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke and dust, and the flames that continued to rise into the air showed that the surface of the earth was suffering unbearable damage.

At this time, the war between China and Japan has been fought for nearly a year, at the beginning, the air units of the national army and the volunteers of the Soviet Union also drove fighter planes to fight fiercely with the Japanese invaders in the air, but with the heavy losses of both sides, the fighters of the national army have been consumed, the decline of national strength has appeared in this case, and the heavy losses of the fighters have not been remedied. The national army's own fighters are basically invisible in the airspace over the country.

However, in the units of the national army with backward firepower and equipment, antiaircraft guns and antiaircraft machine guns are really few and far between, and can even be ignored. In this way, the bomber forces of the Japanese army were naturally unscrupulous in this situation.

This is a completely unequal state of warfare, and it is no wonder that the units of the Nationalist Army have fallen into disadvantage everywhere when fighting the Japanese army, and ordinary people, even trained soldiers, are extremely prone to collapse in this overwhelming bombardment. And even if he persevered, after being dizzy by the bombing, when the positions were all destroyed and the Paozawa brothers were killed and wounded, it was not easy to withstand the next attack of the Japanese army.

It is no wonder that the officers of the 339th Regiment clearly underestimated the determination of the 106th Division to take the big city. When the 74th Army participated in the bloody battle of Wanjialing, the 57th Division was still under the establishment of the 2nd Army at that time, and they had no idea how tenacious the willpower of the Japanese army was in the encirclement, and how terrible the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army in a desperate situation was.

Now that the 106th Division has been encircled again, in the case of the retreat being cut off, even if there are 49th Army and other troops in the periphery of Fengxin are constantly pressuring, even if the first increase in troops was ambushed and suffered heavy losses, Matsuura Junrokuro did not hesitate to continue to send additional troops, vowing to open up the connection with Nanchang.

After the bombardment, the defense line of the 339th Regiment was attacked by the Japanese 106th Division, especially the forward defense line of Songjiazhuang, where an infantry battalion of the 339th Regiment was routed as soon as it engaged. According to Yu Chengwan and Zhou Yizhong's original assumptions, not to mention that the enemy's attack could be blocked here, at least it would give the Japanese army great attrition, so that they would be weak in their follow-up, but in the overwhelming bombardment, Songjiazhuang, which had been destroyed in the war, even if some positions were temporarily constructed, were all destroyed in the artillery bombardment, and most of the officers and men of the 339th Regiment who lacked cover were killed in the bombing. After the Japanese infantry broke through to the village, sporadic resistance could not stop the Japanese advance.

However, the officers and men of the 339th Regiment, who are known for their bravery, also showed their tenacious fighting spirit, in the case of this kind of defense line being broken through everywhere, no one retreated, and the soldiers fought to the death under the leadership of their respective officers relying on the ruins and broken walls, and fought with the Japanese army in such a small place, and finally the whole battalion was martyred.

Although the role of the Songjiazhuang defense line was less than one-twelfth, the bloody nature of the soldiers of this battalion inspired others, and the main defense line of the city, which was originally in a very bad situation, burst out with amazing combat effectiveness behind it, and stubbornly blocked the army of the 106th Division outside the town under extremely inferior circumstances.

Compared with the difficulty of the 339th Regiment, the 302nd Regiment fought quite easily in the northeast. Compared with the 339th Regiment, these people of the 302nd Regiment are extremely experienced in the face of the Japanese bombardment, and it can even be said that among all the troops, there is no one more experienced than them. Think about how many battles Shishi, Liu Wenfeng, Gao Da Hammer and others have fought since the beginning of Luodian? They participated in almost every major battle, and they didn't know how many times the Japanese bombed several times a day, and those who survived this kind of intensive bombardment also had their own experiences when dealing with this cruel situation.

When they dig trenches, they will dig some special bunkers to prevent artillery shells, although many people have been buried alive by collapsed bunkers, but it has to be said that this method is very effective in the face of air raids and artillery attacks. There are also some soldiers who are keen on skirmishers, and there are all kinds of them, each with their own tricks.

Therefore, they are all facing air raids, and their casualties and losses are very different. Of course, this is also the experience and lesson that the soldiers of the 302nd Regiment have gained with blood and tears, which is the method that they have found out after escaping death again and again. When the troops of the 101st Wing, which had withdrawn yesterday, came up again today, they were also blocked in front of the battle again. However, the situation today is still a little different from yesterday.

The 2nd Battalion was changed to guard this position, and the attacking Japanese troops encountered the situation encountered by the 3rd and 4th Brigades of the 149th Wing the day before. Although the officers and men of the second battalion were uniformly unified in defense, and the kind of offensive round after wave, although it did not seem to be special or abnormal, the actions of the hundreds of people like one person, the whole army as one, and the rather close combat method of cohesion caused great casualties to the Japanese army.

When facing the Japanese troops, the other units were always afraid of the Japanese army's sharp hand-to-hand combat, and fired from a long distance, and even used machine guns to block the wide area in front of the position to prevent the enemy from approaching. However, the second battalion was different, when the tall sledgehammer commanded the battle, it always aimed to kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent, and when the enemy was at a distance of 50 paces away, it was strictly forbidden to shoot, and only when the enemy reached a distance of 40 to 50 paces, would it concentrate its firepower to strike. At this distance, even a soldier with poor archery skills can shoot the enemy, especially when firing in unison, after the bullet is fired, almost all the space in front of him is blocked, and he can't dodge if he wants to.

Under this blow, the enemy could only retreat and accelerate the charge, but rushed forward, a * flew in, there was no way to dodge, and then there was machine gun fire. The number of enemy troops who could storm the position under such a series of blows was already very small, and it was almost impossible for them to fight their positions with bayonets.

The Japanese troops who launched the first wave of attacks did not know the doorway, and by the time they reacted, they had no chance to retreat, and seven or eight out of ten of the assault troops were shot in front of the enemy's position, and there was no power to counterattack at all.

This situation made the Japanese commander furious, and in the midst of his roar, he personally led his troops to launch a second wave of attacks. As a result, the Japanese squadron leader, who thought he had mastered the enemy's attack, was mercilessly shot at a position about 100 paces away from the position of the second battalion. He was killed along with several other officers wielding sabers, who fell forever at the beginning of the charge.

[Today I was resting at home with my daughter, but I was much more tired than going to work, and I even forgot about the update! ] In addition, back to yinsw book friends, the regiment commander of the national army is generally a colonel, but many regiment commanders who have made military merits will be promoted to the rank of general, but it is difficult to live again, generally the army commander only hangs the rank of lieutenant general, and other major generals hang until death! 】
