Chapter 209: The counterattack begins

readx;? It was also easy to find where the Japanese radio station was, and if you found the antenna, you could find it by following the wire. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This kind of work is very familiar to the reconnaissance company, and it only took a while for the soldiers to discover where the radio station was, one combat group touched the radio station, and the other combat group touched the main house, and it is estimated that the supreme commander of the Japanese army Huayang Town was in the main house. The last group was on guard duty to prevent blockades and blockades in the event that the Japanese discovered it.

The group that approached the radio station went smoothly, and without much movement, they killed the Japanese troops in the telegraph room and occupied the telegraph room. But the group that reached the main house was in trouble. After reporting to Kawauchi Masumi Osa, a Japanese soldier left Kawauchi Masumi Osa's room, but ran into a reconnaissance company soldier who was touching the sentry. The young man shouted while pulling out his gun: "Enemy attack!"

The fighters of the reconnaissance company could only strike first, and the submachine gun fired a point, killing the young man. The gunfire stabbed the hornet's nest, and the Japanese soldiers stationed in the headquarters rushed out of the room with their weapons in a panic. The battle group guarding outside had already prepared, several submachine guns and a light machine gun opened fire at the same time, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed out of the room screamed and fell to the ground with sudden bullets.

Touching the combat team in the main house, he quickened his pace and rushed into the main house, and after rushing to the room, several bullets were fired out of the room, these fighters in the combat group were extremely experienced, how could they be hit by these few bullets without a target, after a few shots, there was no movement in the house, and the soldiers rushed into the house. Inside the room, a short and fat officer in a military uniform, holding a command knife, stared fiercely at the soldiers who rushed into the room.

These fighters in the combat group didn't talk anything nonsense with Kawauchi Masumi at all, and a shuttle of submachine gun bullets directly ended his surname. After a search, he left the room with everything he could take with him. After the three groups met in the courtyard of the headquarters, they worked together to eliminate the Japanese troops stationed in the headquarters, and the remaining dozen or so Japanese soldiers withdrew from the gate of the headquarters, apparently asking for help.

At this time, the town was also in chaos, dozens of combat groups of the guard company used various means to attack the Japanese army in the town, and the Japanese army was suddenly attacked by these elite combat groups when they were lax, and they lost their commanders, so it is strange that they did not become a mess, and several combat groups took advantage of the chaos to take down the two gates of the south and north of the town, and the soldiers of the 544th Regiment and the 2nd Regiment of the 545th Regiment and the 2nd Regiment of the 545th Regiment, who had been waiting outside the city, rushed up and went straight to the town.

Only part of the Japanese army in the town put up stubborn resistance under the command of various commanders, but in the face of the strength of the two regiments, these stubborn resistances were quickly broken down, and the Japanese army was basically wiped out. By 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the battle in Huayang Town was basically over, and less than 100 Japanese troops in the town had escaped, the rest were killed, and the attacking soldiers only sacrificed more than 20 people and wounded more than 30 people.

After occupying Huayang Town, the 545th Regiment defended in the town, and the 544th Regiment built fortifications on the two main roads outside the town to block the retreat of the Japanese army. Outside the east gate, the commanders of the two Japanese brigades, Major General Yamada and Major General Kamefu Ueno, received the report of the Japanese troops who had escaped from Huayang Town until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. When the two of them heard this, they were taken aback, Huayang Town is the logistics base of the two brigades, and a large amount of logistics materials, guns and ammunition are stored, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

The two brigade commanders couldn't help but regret that they were too big at this time, and they did not garrison heavy troops in Huayang Town, and the two discussed it and decided that all the 23rd brigades of the 18th Division would return to Huayang Town, and if Huayang Town fell into the hands of the Zhina, they would storm Huayang Town, and Huayang Town must be recaptured. After the agreement, Major General Ueno Kamefu led the rest of the 23rd Brigade and 12 75th Infantry guns to Huayang Town, and the 103rd Brigade also temporarily stopped the attack on Songjiang County.

On the afternoon of the 17th, the prepared heavy artillery regiment deployed 30 75 infantry guns and 12 150 cannons in the direction of the east gate. Fourteen 75 infantry guns and 24 150 cannons were deployed in the direction of the south gate, and all the 120 heavy mortars were also reinforced in the direction of the south gate. As a strategic striking force, the 12 240 heavy howitzers are also ready to fire at any time.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Yishi, the commander of the heavy artillery regiment, received Wang Haitao's order to start, and at the same time gave his subordinates an order to open artillery. At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shanghai was already in full swing, and the Japanese army had stopped attacking. Suddenly, a red light reflected the sky above Songjiang County, and then the earth-shattering cannon sound sounded in Songjiang County.

The huge sound of artillery even changed the faces of the defending soldiers on the position, let alone the unprepared Japanese soldiers. The Japanese 13th Division met the 5th Division in the same way. Countless large and small caliber shells rained down in the Japanese position, and a large number of Japanese officers and soldiers were blown into the air by the shells, and then they were ** in the air, sprinkling a rain of blood.

Under the sudden artillery fire, the commander of the 13th Division, Lieutenant General Ogisu Tatsu, was already stunned, and it had always been his own troops who launched a large-scale artillery bombardment of the Chinese people, and there had never been a large-scale artillery bombardment of the Imperial Japanese Army by the Chinese people. He had probably forgotten the shelling of the Japanese Ninth Division on the battlefield of Luodian, but it was not his division, so he didn't feel it deeply.

While Lieutenant General Ogisu was in a daze, Major General Numata Tokushige, the commander of the 26th Brigade, and the chief of staff of the division, Yusaburo Yan, rushed into the headquarters at the same time. Major General Numata Tokushige didn't care about etiquette anymore, and shouted at Lieutenant General Ogisu Libing: "Your Excellency Division Commander, our army was suddenly bombarded by a large-scale heavy artillery bombardment by the Shina people, and the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties. ”

In the loud shouting of Numata Tokushige, Lieutenant General Ogisu Tatsubei woke up in shock, looked at the fire when the bomb exploded outside the headquarters, his gloomy face and eyes showed a fierce light, and shouted: "The warriors of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan will not retreat, and the people of China will not have many heavy artillery shells, hold on." The chief of staff, Yan Yongzaburo Osa, shouted at this time: "Your Excellency, the division commander, the heavy artillery of the people of China is too fierce, so it is better for the warriors to break the jade in the shelling, it is better to turn in temporarily, and only come back after the shelling." ”

Ogishu Libing looked at the two people in front of him, sighed and said, "Order the whole division to turn back." With this order, the personal guard squadron outside the headquarters stepped forward and set up Lieutenant General Ogisu Libei and withdrew to the rear, while the officers and men on the Japanese positions had begun to retreat in the confusion. Ten minutes later, the artillery in the city began to extend the fire, and the 327th Brigade of the 109th Division, under the leadership of the brigade commander Zhao Zhenfan, left Songjiang City and prepared for a counterattack on the Japanese army.

The situation outside the east gate was not too much, as soon as the Japanese 103rd Brigade stopped attacking for half an hour, the artillery in the city began to shell, the Japanese troops of the 103rd Brigade were unprepared, and they were blown up by the overwhelming shells that flew into the sky, and the brigade commander, Major General Yamada Toji, saw that his position was on fire, and the officers and men suffered heavy casualties, and those who were not dead were also scurrying around, and hurriedly ordered to retreat.

It's just that in the positions where shells are flying and explosions are everywhere, it is not known to what extent this order can be conveyed. After conveying the order to retreat, Major General Yamada withdrew in the direction of Huayang Town under the escort of the guards. During the shelling of the Japanese army, Lieutenant General Shen Ke, commander of the 106th Division, was not only surprised by the strength of the artillery of the new 90th Division, but also very envious of these artillery, but the battle plan still had to be completed.

Shen Ke immediately ordered that the divisional guard battalion and the 613th Regiment of the division should go out to the front-line positions at the same time, ready to attack at any time. After the Japanese army began to retreat, the artillery fire in the city continued to extend forward, always catching up with the Japanese bombing, Shen Ke was also born in the artillery department, and he was also very knowledgeable about artillery. At this time, the guard battalion of the 106th Division rushed out of the position first, and 200 "flower machine guns" rushed to the front, followed by more than 100 20-round barge guns with enlarged blades.

The officers and men of the other three regiments, none of them were far behind, except for the wounded soldiers who remained on the position, the other officers and men rushed forward to the Japanese army with a big blade shouting. As soon as the observers commanding the artillery bombardment at the head of the city saw that the shelling had not yet ended, the officers and men of the 106th Division outside the east gate had already begun to charge, and hurriedly used walkie-talkies to inform the heavy artillery regiment that the artillery fire in the direction of the east gate was extending forward again.

This time, the artillery fire that originally caught the Japanese army turned into an explosion in the front of the Japanese army, which divided the retreating Japanese army into two, and the Japanese army in the middle was wiped out, the Japanese army in front ran faster, and the Japanese army in the back stopped because of the interception of artillery fire. This just gave the officers and men of the 106th Division who rushed forward a place to use.

There were 2,000 Japanese troops intercepted by artillery fire, and these Japanese troops saw that the road ahead was impassable, and the Japanese troops in the rear chased after them, and the Japanese troops who had no way out were aroused to be ferocious, and a small number of Japanese troops set up light and heavy machine guns on the spot to counterattack, and most of the Japanese troops raised their bayonet Type 38 rifles and launched a counter-charge against the Chinese army that had caught up.

As soon as the Japanese troops rushed up like a tide within 100 meters, they were attacked head-on by 200 "flower machine guns" of the 106th Division; at such a close distance, the power of one "flower machine gun" was no less than that of a light machine gun, and 200 light machine guns fired at the same time, and no matter how many Japanese troops rushed up. After paying a large number of casualties, the Japanese army finally approached the soldiers of the guard battalion while the "flower machine gun" bullets were running out, and at this time, the soldiers of the guard battalion, who used the part of the "flower machine gun", quickly retreated, and on top of it were more than 100 20-round barge guns and more than 100 large blades.

After the more than 100 soldiers ran out of bullets in the shell guns to the Japanese soldiers who rushed up, they put away the shell guns, held the big blades, and rushed forward with shouts, and the two troops collided together, and then the broadswords of the Northwest Army began to show their power, and more than 100 broadswords, carrying up the "Eight Swords of Breaking Blades" in one photo, they let go of dozens of Japanese soldiers, and only more than ten people fell on their side.
