Chapter 305: Robbery while the fire is on
readx;? The armor-piercing shells of the 82 recoilless gun can penetrate 120 mm thick frontal armor, which is a piece of cake against the 10 mm armor on the front of the "bean chariot". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This armor-piercing bullet effortlessly penetrated the armor of the combat vehicle and exploded directly inside the combat vehicle. The explosion of the armor-piercing shell caused the shell in the vehicle to detonate, and the turret of the vehicle flew directly into the air, and the vehicle became a fireball.
As soon as the chariot exploded, the infantry following the chariot also fell. The light and heavy weapons on the position were just right at the Japanese infantry who had not recovered their senses. The platoon commander of the fire platoon was loaded with another armor-piercing shell, and the second tank of the Japanese army had the same fate as the first. The other two chariots didn't look good, and hurriedly turned their heads to run, but how could they have shells that flew fast, and He Kuai was also destroyed in front of the position.
Four tanks were destroyed, the Japanese attack failed again, and for the rest of the morning, the Japanese did not attack again, except for sporadic shelling. The commander of the first battalion also took the opportunity to send the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers and the wounded soldiers back to Jing County. Lunch was brought by the baggage battalion, and everyone sat down in the anti-artillery hole and ate.
In the morning battle, the first battalion was reduced by nearly 100 people, and for a new battalion, it was acceptable for the first battle to be like this, and thanks to the veterans of the second company, the soldiers of the first battalion are now much calmer. By the afternoon, the Japanese launched several more attacks, but they were all stubbornly repulsed by the defenders.
In the evening, the lights were bright in the Jing County command headquarters, and Wang Haitao was holding a meeting in the command room with several brigade and regiment-level cadres of the 93 rd Division and responsible persons of relevant departments. For this battle, Wang Haitao was not worried about the old man of the original independent brigade, and not only did he not care about whether he would win, but he was most worried that the two brigades of the newly joined Sichuan Army would suffer heavy casualties.
After listening to the reports of the two brigade commanders on the course of the day's battles, it was determined that the Japanese army would only make a diversionary attack on the county seat of Nanling, while the county seat of Jing County would be a key attack. Wang Haitao said: "It seems that the 279th Brigade is preparing to undergo the most severe test in this battle. Now that the Japanese army has used heavy artillery and chariot troops, and soon the Japanese army will send planes to help in the battle, Brigade Commander Huang, you have to be prepared. ”
Huang Gang replied: "Commander, our brigade has never had the experience of fighting with aircraft, so how should we prepare for this?" Wang Haitao thought for a while and replied: "Actually, the little Japanese planes are not so terrible, aren't there still these veterans of the 277th Brigade on the position, you just need to learn more about how those veterans deal with the little Japanese planes on the position." However, the county seat of Jing County should also be prepared to prevent air raids.
Starting tomorrow, the two companies of the antiaircraft artillery battalion will all be stationed in the east and north directions of the county seat of Jingxian County, and machine gun positions will also be arranged on the city wall. We must strive to prevent the little Japanese planes from dropping bombs into the county seat of Jingxian County. However, in order to prevent accidents, it is also necessary for people from the prefectural government to educate the people about air defense. ”
At this time, Wang Haitao found that he seemed to have neglected the air defense work in Jingxian County, and it was a little too late to do it again. In any case, it is necessary to minimize the losses of the county seat of Jing County, and this can only strengthen the county's ability to defend against the air. As for the chariots of Little Japan, there is no need to worry too much, whether it is the 82 recoilless gun or the 40 rocket launcher in the hands of the guard regiment, these chariots can be kept coming and going.
After Wang Haitao asked Wei Changhai, director of the logistics department, about the situation of logistics support and ammunition reserves, the meeting was dismissed. After the meeting, Wang Haitao found Wang Daoyuan, the county magistrate, and Liu Yuan, director of the security department, and explained to them about air defense and special defense. Wang Daoyuan now manages the police department, which now also has a police brigade of 300 people.
This police brigade was specially trained by the 1st Battalion of the former Independent Regiment, and selected 300 guns from the Sichuan army and gave them them, and added four Czech light machine guns and 20 Baige Gate assault planes.
The Security Service has also set up a security team, which is not very large in number, only 100 people, but this 100 people are drawn from the first battalion of the reconnaissance regiment as the head of the detachment, and they are trained according to the standards of the reconnaissance regiment. The preparation was also incomparable to that of the police brigade, half of them were armed with 54-type submachine guns, as well as 10 sniper rifles, eight Type 56 light machine guns, and one Type 67 heavy machine gun. The barge gun is even more handy.
In order to strengthen the mobility of the security forces, Wang Haitao not only gave them six three-wheeled motorcycles and four trucks that had captured the Japanese army, but also gave Liu Yong the power to mobilize light armored vehicles and armored trucks if necessary. The captain of the security team is also Wei Changxing's right-hand man, named Lin Yuxi. This Lin Yuxi or Wang Haitao came forward, and Wei Changxing reluctantly agreed to release him.
Wang Haitao is still very confident in the two teams of the police brigade and the security team, with these two forces, Wang Haitao has not been bothered about the matter of Ye'an in Jing County, it turns out that there are several bandits in the mountains around Jing County, and now they have either left Jing County, or they have gone down the mountain to stop working. Jing County is also a lot more peaceful now.
The next morning, as Wang Haitao expected, the Japanese army really sent planes to bomb the defenders' positions in Yangliu Town. It's just that Yangliu Town was originally a ruin, and the fortifications built later were not much intact under the bombardment of the Japanese army's heavy artillery for a day, so there are really not many targets worth bombing in Yangliu Town.
The Japanese planes could only blindly drop all the bombs and then began to return home. The power of the explosions of these bombs was not under the heavy artillery shells, and the officers and men of the first battalion in the anti-artillery bunks were also numb to the bombing of the planes after yesterday's heavy artillery bombardment.
The soldiers of the first battalion only followed the movements of the soldiers of the second company, and with these veterans of the second company, the soldiers of the first battalion were no longer nervous; after the battle was fought one day yesterday, these veterans of the second company have become an example for the officers and men of the first battalion. Their abilities in all aspects convinced the officers and men of the first battalion.
After the bombardment, it was still the infantry that charged under the cover of light and heavy weapons, and today the Japanese army was able to benefit the Japanese in that the walls of Yangliu Town had basically collapsed, and the defenders had lost more than half of their heavy machine guns. Now there are only ten heavy machine guns that can be used on the position, but the loss of light machine guns is not large, plus the dozens of submachine guns in the hands of the second company, this firepower still makes it difficult for the Japanese army to attack the front of the position.
However, the commander of the second company asked the commander of the fire platoon and the commander of the first battalion of the fire company to command all the mortars together, and from time to time they would strike at the Japanese attacking infantry, and this kind of blow was based on the fast firing of the mortars and the fast transfer.
This move was really effective, and it quickly resolved the Japanese attack several times. In the face of the stubborn resistance of the defenders, almost all the tricks that the Japanese army could use were used, but it had no effect, and in the Japanese army headquarters located in Xuancheng, the two division commanders Ito Masaki and Washizu Matsudaira were frowning and had nothing to do.
Ito Masashi said angrily: "I have two divisions of the Japanese Empire, and nearly 30,000 horses can't take a small Jing County, which is really a shame for my Japanese Emperor." Washizu Matsudaira sighed and said, "Ito-kun, it seems that this General Wang Haitao of China is by no means a wasted name, he and his army are really the fierce enemies of our Great Japanese Empire." ”
At this time, the chief of staff of the 101st Division, Nishiyama Fukutaro Osa, took over and said: "Your Excellency, the two division commanders, your subordinates have a way to deal with this Wang Haitao. Ito Masaki's eyes lit up and said, "Nishiyama-kun, if there is any good way, please say." Nishiyama Fukutaro said: "From the perspective of his subordinates, the resistance of the people of China is so tenacious, or because there is Wang Haitao, the main general in the county seat of Jing County, the people of China have a saying called 'capture the thief first capture the king', as long as Wang Haitao is removed, then it will be easy to deal with these Chinese army." ”
Ito Masaki said: "I naturally know that as long as I get rid of this Wang Haitao, things will be easy, but how can I get rid of Wang Haitao?" Nishiyama Fukutaro smiled and said: "Your Excellency the division commander has heard of the thirty-six plans of the Shina people?" Ito Masaki replied: "I naturally know the thirty-six plans. ”
Nishiyama Fukutaro continued: "I just want to use one of the thirty-six tactics to 'rob while the fire is hot' to deal with this Wang Haitao. Ito Masaki was stunned for a moment, and said in his mouth: "Take advantage of the fire to rob, what does Nishiyama-kun mean by this? Fukutaro Nishiyama explained his plan to Masakaki Ito and Washzu Matsudaira.
After listening to Nishiyama Fukutaro's plan, the two division commanders said in a loud voice: "Yo Xi, Nishiyama-kun's strategy is very clever, if you can get rid of this Wang Haitao this time, Nishiyama-kun will have made a great contribution to our Japanese Empire, I will immediately call Commander Yan Junliu and ask His Excellency the Commander to give tactical guidance." ”
For several days, the Japanese army attacked Yangliu Town step by step. Except that the number of plane bombings became more frequent and the scale was larger, there was no change, except that several times the Japanese planes flew over the county seat of Jingxian County to bomb the county seat of Jingxian County, but several times they encountered the obstruction of air defense weapons outside the county seat of Jingxian County, and they damaged each other under fierce battles.
During the Japanese army's several air raids on Jing County, Wang Haitao came to the streets of Jing County and worked with the police brigade and security team to help the people evacuate. Tangshan Leopard was very worried about Wang Haitao's safety, and persuaded Wang Haitao twice, but after seeing that Wang Haitao couldn't listen at all, he could only secretly strengthen the protection of Wang Haitao.
After several air raids, the people of Jing County have also adapted to the air raids, and when they hear the air raid siren, they are not as flustered as they were at the beginning. Wang Haitao did not rest enough during this period of time because of the war, and both his energy and physical strength were constantly being consumed, and it was in this situation that a conspiracy against Wang Haitao began.
