Battle of Shatouling
"Hehe, my new 22nd Division is really powerful, and it deserves to be the Chinese tiger praised by the chairman!" Liao Yaoxiang was very happy to know that his ace division had broken through the Shanhaiguan defense in one day. "Division Commander Liu is really a hero, the artillery fought very well, and the reserves of the communist army were all killed in the trenches by you before they moved, and the name of the artillery god is well deserved!" Liao Yaoxiang praised the bangs! "In fact, the fighting ability of the communist army at this level is simply not worth mentioning, and the weapons are even more vulnerable, this battle is actually a firepower exhibition, not much fun!" Bangs said. "Hey, that's a bad word!" Liao Yaoxiang said excitedly, "This is our first battle into the Northeast, it is related to the morale of the army, it can be fought well but not broken, it is very important!" Liao Yaoxiang said. Junzuo has a point! Bangs said.
"Next, I will issue a new combat order, the new 22nd Division will attack Tai'an, the 14th Division will attack Xinmin, and the 27th Division will attack Faku! Flat push and advance quickly, and the troops marched to Shenyang in three ways! Liao Yaoxiang said energetically. Be! Several division commanders immediately responded to the road. Okay, let's go and prepare, Master Liu stays! "Liao Yaoxiang waved his hand, and several division commanders went out!" Master Liu, do you know why I didn't assign you a task? Liao Yaoxiang asked. I don't know, Jun Zuo naturally has something to consider! Liu Hai said, "I was ordered to be under your command, and naturally obeyed the order!" "Division Commander Liu's morale is not high, this is not right, * is like a prairie fire, the harm to the party-state is even worse than the Japanese, as a party-state soldier should take the initiative to complete the great cause of suppressing bandits, not passive!" Liao Yaoxiang said as he looked at his bangs. "I'm just doing what a soldier should do, and as for what you just said about politicians and strategists, I'm just an artilleryman! In addition, to be honest, I really don't want to fight a civil war, it's really boring for my own people to fight my own people! Bangs said. You're right, in fact, no one wants to fight, but as a soldier, more often than not, you can't help yourself, okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the next battle plan! Liao Yaoxiang walked to the large map.
"You see, the first stage of our plane direct push operation is to be on the front line of Tai'an, Xinmin and Faku, and we need to replenish and recuperate at this point, you also know that although we are a US armed force, with fierce firepower and fast assault speed, the demand for logistics consumption is also very huge, this problem is not a problem for the Americans, but the pressure on us is still very great, so we are limited by this, and the speed of advance cannot be too fast, and we need to stop and replenish. However, there is a place called Shatouling in this battle, this place is a fatal place, it can be attacked and retreated, it is a key position, if we occupy Shatouling, we will gain the initiative in the next stage of offensive operations, but without here, our next offensive plan will fall into passivity, so I decided to let your fourth division seize Shatouling, and defend for two to three days, to buy time for our corps to rest and replenish. It's a little embarrassing to say, this place is more prominent, and it is easy to be besieged, I am in view of the super firepower of your fourth division, and your direct brigade is even more tenacious and brave, in addition to your troops, even if the other three divisions complete the task, the losses will be not small, so. . Liao Yaoxiang said his thoughts in one breath. Rest assured, we will get the job done! Bangs said.
After accepting this task, Liu Hai immediately led his troops to begin to bypass the attack routes of the other three divisions, rapidly advanced to Shatouling, and organized a defense! During this period, the three divisions of the New Sixth Army did not disappoint Liao Yaoxiang, and gave full play to the true colors of the ace army in the offensive operation, and the blocking position of the communist army could not stop the attack of these troops at all, and in less than four days, the whole line was defeated, and the front line of Tai'an, Xinmin and Faku was all occupied by the New Sixth Army, as Liao Yaoxiang said, after four days of fierce fighting, the ammunition consumption of the New Sixth Army was very amazing, and for the second phase of the operation, stop to rest and replenish ammunition! At this time, the role of Shatouling is shown, once Shatouling is lost, Liao Yaoxiang's three divisions will be cut off by someone and divided into two sections! After Liu Hai occupied Shatouling, he knew the importance of this place, and he had to admire Liao Yaoxiang's vision and foresight, which was worthy of being the head of the New Sixth Army, the first-class ace of the National Revolutionary Army!
However, at this time, Commander-in-Chief Lin, the No. 1 commander of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, also keenly discovered the value of Shatouling, and what made him most happy was that there was only a division under the command of the New Sixth Army stationed in Shatouling, and this division was still an artillery division that was good at artillery! Under normal circumstances, the arrangement of troops is to put the artillery behind, at least there must be two wings of guards, but this time Liao Yaoxiang must have been dizzy, and put his artillery division at such a point that is still isolated, the most important thing is that Commander Lin also knows the weakness of the US armament troops, this time three important towns were lost at once, but the other party must stop to replenish, and with these two days, it is completely possible to concentrate forces to destroy the enemy's prominent and isolated Shatouling Artillery Division! Commander-in-Chief Lin's idea was tactically right, but in fact it was wrong, and after the battle of Shatouling, Commander-in-Chief Lin realized that things were not as easy as he thought, and at the same time, he also strengthened his determination to rebel against one person, that is, Liu Hai, the commander of the Fourth Division! In order to eliminate Liuhai, an isolated artillery division, Commander-in-Chief Lin mobilized three divisions and twelve regiments to storm Shatouling! In addition to these three divisions, two other brigades were arranged to block the attack, intending to completely destroy this artillery division in two days!
In fact, Liu Hai had already learned the reconnaissance information in the air, saying that a large number of communist troops were surrounding him, but Liu Hai was not panicking, because he was ready, the two artillery regiments had been placed in the northeast and southwest corners, and Liu Xiaoshan's independent brigade had built strong fortifications around them, and the independent artillery brigade was mobile launching, and other directly subordinate battalions, training battalions, reconnaissance companies, etc. were mobile operations, some were responsible for small-scale counterattacks, and some were responsible for guiding firepower. The idea of bangs is not to wait, but to wait for me! The Northeast Coalition Army of three divisions quickly entered the attack position, intending to launch an attack at Foxiao the next day! However, according to the situation, the ghost artillery also judged that the other party was going to launch an attack in Foxiao, and the ghost artillery was not yet bright in the morning, and when it was estimated that the opponent's attacking troops had entered the attack position, dozens of flares were fired, illuminating the attack position of the Democratic Alliance Army, and then it was covered by fierce and accurate artillery fire, and the Democratic Alliance Army preparing to attack suffered huge losses and had to give up the attack in this direction! And Wu Fatzi is not bad, he arranged his defensive area in advance with multi-layer heavy artillery fire interception, and Liu Xiaoshan also actively cooperated with the battle! When the party-democratic coalition army launched an offensive, it fell short in both directions, and by noon it had already lost thousands of people! For this result, which has long been planned, bangs are not surprised!
"How did you get this battle? It doesn't matter if a few charges didn't take down, you lost so many people, are you all eating? The commander in charge of the attack shouted. Division commander, it's not that we can't beat it, it's that we can't rely on it at all, the artillery is finished with mortars, and the mortars are finished with machine guns*, and the other side's counter-assault, all Thomson, light and heavy machine guns are more than ten times ours, and the brothers of a battalion rushed up, and more than half of them were killed before they passed through the fire net, and the other party's artillery was blown up with us, which is really not good! A seriously wounded regimental commander said. Concentrate all the artillery, concentrate on attacking the southeast, send a main regiment to focus on the attack, and press up from other directions for feints and cover, I don't believe that I can't break through! The division commander said ruthlessly. However, in the end, it can only be said that the ideal is very beautiful, the reality is very skinny, the artillery of the Democratic Alliance Army is the artillery of the captured Japanese army, and the shells are not many and are not very useful, but before the second shell is fired, the position was discovered, and several salvos of the independent heavy artillery brigade of Liu Hai blew up most of the artillery, and then a battalion of counterattack troops beat an attacking regiment all over the field, which was miserable, but the attack was not over!
"Report, Shatouling, where Division Commander Liu Hai is besieged," the herald said. "Don't worry, let the bangs teach those guys a good lesson!" Liao Yaoxiang knows the strength of the Fourth Division very well and is not worried about it! "I suggest that it is better to organize troops to go north to support as soon as possible, because Miss Song is also there, if we lose her, it is possible to destroy the Nine Clans!" Liao Yaoxiang's chief of staff said. "Yes, yes, why did you forget about this, and quickly asked Li Dongguo to go north to support Division Commander Liu's battle!" Liao Yaoxiang's brain suddenly stirred, and he hurriedly said. The new 22nd Division was very fast, but when it came soon, it was blocked by two brigades, Li Dongguo was alert and tenacious at first, and launched attacks wave after wave, and the new 22nd Division broke through the communist defense line in one fell swoop with its powerful assault force. And at this time, the siege could not be fought, because the casualties were too heavy, and it was simply beaten to the curl! And at this time, the new 22nd Army is approaching Shatouling! In view of the strength of the other side, the encirclement and suppression of the Democratic Alliance finally made up their minds and began to retreat! The battle of Shatouling actually lasted one day, and in this day, Liu Hai and his men blocked twelve attacks, killed and wounded more than 3,000 people of the Democratic Alliance Army, and lost hundreds of people themselves!
