Chapter 1206, Night battle
late at night.
Fengtai.
The outskirts of the Japanese aggressor camp.
Zhang Yong looked at the second hand of his watch silently.
57…
58…
59…
zero point.
Time's up.
"attack!"
"attack!"
Orders were issued quickly.
In an instant, a large number of figures emerged from the darkness.
They crouched, guns in hand, and gradually approached the Japanese invaders' position.
"Snap hook!"
"Snap hook!"
Soon, the Japanese invaders discovered the movement.
Gunshots rang out quickly.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
The Japanese invaders hurriedly issued an alarm.
At the same time, the searchlights were turned on. Want to light up the darkness.
result…
"Ttta..."
"Ttta..."
After the dull gunshot, the searchlight was smashed.
This is the contribution of the M2 heavy machine gun. Long range. Powerful. The searchlight shattered directly.
The Japanese invaders next to the searchlight were also beaten to pieces.
The power of a 12.7mm bullet hitting a human body can be imagined. It certainly can't be intact.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Heavy mortar bombardment.
All 81mm mortars were mobilized.
Those participating in the attack tonight are mainly the Temporary First Brigade. It was the main force in the original establishment. A total of four thousand people.
The Japanese invaders had heavy artillery. There are planes. There are tanks. If you act during the day, you will be crushed. You can only come at night.
Must fight at night.
We can only fight at night. Definitely can't beat it during the day.
"superior!"
"superior!"
Commanders at all levels roared with all their might.
The soldiers rushed forward one after another. Until he falls.
Zhang Yong had no expression on his face.
Now is not the time to be soft-hearted.
Since the battle plan has been approved, casualties must be suffered.
Strictly speaking, tonight's battle was not planned by Zhang Yong. But Cheng Yaojin and Xia Yikui.
They want a big vote.
He wanted to take advantage of the Japanese invaders' lack of troops and directly threaten the Fengtai camp.
Xia Yikui estimated that the Japanese invaders had lost a lot of troops after many attacks, and there might only be about a thousand people at the moment.
Other Japanese troops are also some distance away from the Fengtai camp. It is impossible for reinforcements to be in place in a short period of time. Even if you rush here non-stop, you still have to arrive during the day. Therefore, tonight, there should be about a thousand people in the Japanese army's Fengtai camp.
In this case, a temporary brigade of more than 4,000 people was concentrated to launch a fierce attack. With enough weapons and ammunition, there should be a 70% chance of winning.
So he asked Zhang Yong for instructions.
Zhang Yong pondered for a moment. Then it was approved.
He actually wanted to see the true combat effectiveness of the First Brigade.
We can't just keep the troops and don't use them!
He must be dragged out to fight. Only by fighting often can you make progress.
It is miserably hidden away like a treasure and reluctant to take it out, and the final result is that it will become useless.
Such is the case with Yamato Ryokan.
The Japanese invaders were always reluctant to let it go to the front line. So I don't have much combat experience.
It was only when I had to go to the front line that I realized that the situation was very bad. Many areas that needed improvement were not improved in time. So he was fatally struck.
On the contrary, the Yukikaze, which fought almost the entire game and had rich experience, survived in the end.
The same goes for Hu Zongnan. He was kept in the rear by Lao Jiang. The end result is that it is useless. No fighting ability. A complete failure.
Zhang Yong did not want the troops under his "supervision" to imitate Hu Zongnan.
Must be beaten frequently. Fight often.
I'll replenish the weapons and ammunition for you.
Soldier, let me add it to you.
Just keep your head down and beat me! Hit him hard!
then…
"boom!"
"boom!"
The explosions continued.
Fighting broke out around the entire Fengtai camp.
Because the First Brigade has strong troops and sufficient ammunition, it almost attacks in company units.
Each company chooses an attack route. Autonomous attack.
Each company is equipped with three 81mm mortars. There are plenty of shells. It can be said that he is armed to the teeth.
The purpose was to prevent the Japanese invaders from caring about him. Can't tell the main direction of attack.
Before the war began, each company was specially equipped with three M2 large-caliber heavy machine guns. There is plenty of ammunition. Those searchlights were shattered by M2 heavy machine guns.
But after the battle began, Zhang Yong discovered that it was not going so smoothly.
Domineering?
Easily crushed?
Doesn't exist. The two sides soon fell into a fierce battle.
"Snap hook!"
"Snap hook!"
The Japanese invaders' counterattack was still very fierce. He is also brave and not afraid of death.
This is the Fengtai camp of the Japanese invaders. It was the headquarters of the Japanese infantry regiment. Mutaguchi Ren is also here.
For the Japanese invaders, this was something they could not afford to lose. So, of course, we will fight back hard.
Some Japanese invaders even launched counterattacks in the dark.
The temporary brigade was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses and casualties.
Fortunately, there is a reserve team behind us.
The reserve team came up and used submachine guns to suppress the Japanese invaders.
All the Japanese invaders who launched the counterattack were killed.
The battle is heating up.
"Baga!"
"Fight back!"
"Fight back!"
Mutaguchi Lian was also very angry.
He did not expect that the Chinese army would dare to attack at night. Or attack the Fengtai camp.
Is it the 29th Army?
Or Zhang Yong's troops?
Even with your knees you can think of it as the latter.
Besides Zhang Yong, who else dares to take the initiative to attack?
"What's going on?"
Sugita Kimiyama appeared holding a pistol.
He was supposed to go back to the garrison headquarters. But took a leave of absence.
Mainly because he and Mutaguchi Lian were also classmates at Lu University. Now that we have arrived in Peiping. The two of them talked about old times. Drink sake.
Unexpectedly, I finished drinking the sake. Just lie down. The sound of gunfire came.
"It's Zhang Yong's army."
"Is he the clown?"
"He's not a clown."
Mutaguchi Lian also gritted his teeth.
He hates being called Zhang Yong a clown. real.
Because Zhang Yong has caused him a lot of losses. Make him lose face.
The military losses were heavy.
Back and forth, almost two brigades were lost.
Now, of his alliance, only one brigade is basically intact, and the rest are defeated.
Six tanks were also lost.
Four of them were taken back to Peking by Zhang Yong and displayed as trophies.
This is definitely a great shame for Mutaguchi Renya. If he hadn't been thick-skinned enough, he might have committed seppuku.
Of course, it is impossible to commit seppuku. The only reason is to order others to commit seppuku.
As scapegoats, two squadron commanders who had returned from the rout were ordered to commit seppuku. Mutaguchi Lian also personally chopped off their heads. Serve as a warning to others.
Fortunately, this evening, an infantry brigade rushed from Tianjin Wei arrived. Only then did he regain the strength of two brigades.
But it's no use.
Zhang Yong is here again.
Just after the press conference during the day, Zhang Yong, who was ridiculed and injured, led his troops and came over in the dark.
This bastard. He really knows how to find opportunities!
Right now, the Japanese army is at its weakest. Reinforcements mobilized from the rear have not yet arrived.
In fact, the forwards of the 14th Division have already reached the Shanhaiguan and Qinhuangdao lines. But it was stopped. The military ordered them to wait on the railway.
Why?
Because we still have to create the illusion of peace talks.
The 29th Army needs to continue to believe that the Japanese army is sincere in negotiating.
If the 14th Division comes over, no matter how stupid the 29th Army is, they will wake up. A full-scale counterattack would then be possible.
By then, other Japanese reinforcements have not yet arrived, and the situation may get out of control.
As a result, Mutaguchi Lian also suffered. It took a long time to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
However, it was precisely because of this that he was not dismissed. The task given to him by the garrison army was to guard Fengtai Camp.
Originally this task was very simple. The problem is, that Zhang Yong is not simple either!
Mutaguchi Ren also believed in his own judgment.
That Zhang Yong, clown look was definitely disguised on purpose.
Fortunately, he temporarily received a large group of reinforcements, otherwise, I'm afraid he would really be broken into pieces tonight.
"Report! Enemies found in the direction of Dahegou!"
"Report! Enemies found in front of Fangjiapu!"
"Report…"
The communications troops arrived anxiously.
The wing headquarters has only two staff officers. I was so busy that I was sweating all over my head.
Maps hanging on the walls were marked in various colors. The Fengtai camp is surrounded by enemies.
"Baga!"
"Where did that clown get all those troops?"
"It must be fake!"
"It must be fake!"
Sugita Kimiyama frowned. I feel that Zhang Yong is using a cover-up trick.
This is a common practice among Chinese soldiers. Their ancestor wrote a book called "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. All Japanese and mainland students studied it.
With so many enemies, some must be feints. There is only one direction of true attack.
The question is, where is Zhang Yong's true direction of attack?
"Ring ring ring..."
"Ring ring ring..."
The phone at Wing Headquarters kept ringing.
The two poor staff officers were too busy.
Sugita Kimiyama had no choice but to end the game himself. Help answer the phone. Help mark map information.
All the men he brought with him also went into battle to help.
"Nani? Ito Squadron Commander Tamaki?" Sugita Kimiyama suddenly felt something was wrong.
Ito Squadron is over there at Fangjia Pu.
Isn't that the direction of Zhang Yong's feint attack?
Why is the battle so fierce?
The battle just started and the squadron leader died in battle?
Baga!
Is this Zhang Yong's main attack direction?
"Fangjiapu?"
"Yes. Captain Ito's squadron was shattered. More than half of the squadron was lost. The enemy's artillery fire was very fierce. Unprecedented. They were all large-caliber mortars."
"Ito..."
Mutaguchi Lian also frowned.
He also felt that Fangjiapu might be Zhang Yong's main direction of attack.
Only a main attack could cause such heavy losses to the defenders. The squadron leader Yu Shai. Heavy artillery fire...
"Report! Your Excellency, Captain, Yujiapu has been captured..."
"Nani?"
Mutaguchi Lian also reacted quickly.
He turned around quickly to look at the map.
Yujiapu…
That's the front of Fengtai Camp!
There is a small team stationed there. Still a very elite team.
Why was it lost?
Baga!
"Order Kamikawa to counterattack immediately..."
"Your Excellency, Captain, I just received the news that Captain Puchuan is broken..." "Nani?"
Mutaguchi Lian's expression also changed.
Another squadron leader is broken? What's going on?
Look at the map. Yujiapu and Fangjiapu are far apart! More than five kilometers!
It was impossible for Zhang Yong to invest so many troops in two directions at the same time. It is impossible to attack in two directions at the same time. There must be some focus.
So, here comes the question...
Is it Yujiapu or Fangjiapu?
Headache…
"Moxi, Moxi..."
Over there, the staff officer continued to be busy answering the phone.
After a while, a staff officer quickly came to Mutaguchi Renye.
Mutaguchi Ren also raised his hand. Tell the other person to stop talking.
He needed time to assess the situation.
Yujiapu?
Fangjiapu?
Which direction is Zhang Yong's main attack?
Baga!
No clue!
Hands down. Let the staff report.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the heavy artillery brigade is asking for instructions on which direction they should bombard..."
"artillery…"
Mutaguchi Lian also frowned.
Yujiapu? Fangjiapu? It's impossible to judge!
"Ring ring ring..."
"Ring ring ring..."
The phone continued to ring.
Too busy...
Totally overwhelmed...
Sugita Kimiyama went over and picked up the phone.
"Report! Enemy found! Enemy found! The enemy is behind our position!"
"Baga! Where are you?"
"Artillery! Heavy artillery brigade! Heavy artillery..."
"boom…"
There was an explosion.
Then there was no sound from the phone. There was dead silence.
Sugita Kimiyama's heart trembled.
There was a rush of cold air behind me. Then I understood Zhang Yong's purpose.
Baga!
The opponent's real attack direction is the heavy artillery position!
Zhang Yong's real purpose tonight is to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery! Yujiapu and Fangjiapu are all fronts!
Baga!
This cunning clown!
Put down the phone hastily. Came to Mutaguchi Renye's side.
"The heavy artillery position was attacked. Contact is currently lost. It is estimated that this is Zhang Yong's real purpose."
"Baga!"
Mutaguchi Lian suddenly became furious.
Subconsciously, I want to slap people. But just as he raised his hand, he took it back again.
The other party is also a colonel. He is also the chief of staff of the garrison. In terms of rank, he is above his captain.
However, within the Japanese army, only the chief officer leading the troops is supreme. Others who do not lead troops will basically be reduced by half a level.
"Send the order! Retreat immediately! Everyone, retreat to the heavy artillery position!"
"yes!"
The staff hurriedly issued orders.
Sugita Kimiyama picked up the helmet next to him. Ready to go.
He believed that Mutaguchi Renya's deployment was correct. Wing Headquarters can give up. But the heavy artillery positions cannot.
If those heavy artillery were lost, the Japanese army would really have no power to fight back.
Right now, we rely on those heavy artillery to stay alive.
"withdraw!"
"withdraw!"
The Japanese invaders moved quickly.
The Japanese invaders were also very flexible when the situation was unfavorable.
Quickly retreat to the heavy artillery position, and then gather together. Resist stubbornly. Also request urgent tactical guidance.
In fact, it's a cry for help.
The distress telegram was drafted by Sugita Kimiyama himself.
Of course he didn't want his life to end here. Tonight can be said to be the most dangerous night.
Fortunately, a large group of reinforcements came in the evening...
otherwise…
"What? The Japanese invaders have reinforcements?"
"Did you arrive in the evening?"
At this time, Zhang Yong also received the latest information.
It turned out that the Japanese invaders were not one brigade, but two brigade.
"yes…"
Xia Yikui lowered his head. Very ashamed.
Failure to grasp this information will have a huge impact on the battle.
It may even lead to failure.
The previous battle plans were for about a thousand people. As a result, the enemy numbered 2,000...
"sit."
Zhang Yong waved his hand. Let Xia Yikui sit down.
On the battlefield, no one is omnipotent. No one can have all the information at all times.
The Japanese reinforcements arrived just by chance.
The battlefield intelligence here is very bad. Don't even know about this.
In fact, the First Brigade has not yet formed its own intelligence network. The reconnaissance company, search company, etc. are not yet complete.
Alas, it's so confusing...
Who would have thought that the Japanese invaders had already arrived with reinforcements?
If one thousand people become two thousand, it will be difficult to fight.
After all, the Japanese invaders were the defenders. There are fortifications. There is also heavy artillery cover.
Just thinking about those heavy cannons gives me a headache...
Sneak attacks are actually not that easy.
Multiple warnings were also set up around the Japanese invaders' artillery positions.
It is unrealistic for the troops to attack and capture it in a short period of time. Only mortars can be used for long-distance bombing. Inflict as many casualties as possible.
However, it was impossible to destroy the Japanese invaders' 105mm heavy cannon.
In other words, something terrible is coming.
really…
"boom…"
"boom…"
The Japanese heavy artillery began to bombard.
Yujiapu and Fangjiapu are all within the bombardment range.
This is a crushing heavy weapon. There is simply no way to resist it. Even in the dark, it can cause huge casualties.
"Withdraw!"
Zhang Yong decisively ordered the troops to retreat.
There is no point in continuing the fierce battle. It will only increase troop casualties.
In front of the 105mm heavy artillery, you must be calm.
Otherwise, one shell could kill several people. It's not worth the effort.
In addition, the 81mm mortar shells carried by various units are estimated to have been exhausted.
"withdraw!"
"withdraw!"
Orders conveyed.
All participating troops were withdrawn.
Statistical loss.
Fortunately, there were less than 500 casualties.
Take the enemy by surprise and attack them when they are not prepared. The ground was washed away by artillery fire.
The Japanese invaders were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Seven of the teams were wiped out alone.
In other words, the number of Japanese invaders killed was at least 350. If other losses are included, the casualties of the Japanese invaders should be six to seven hundred.
That's almost it.
Just accept it as soon as you see fit.
The fierce battle is yet to come!
It is not cost-effective to fight the Japanese invaders in plain areas.
"Replenish ammunition!"
"yes."
Zhang Yong had already arranged for ammunition supplies.
81mm mortar shells are enough. Each unit can take as much as they can.
12.7mm large-caliber machine gun bullets are enough.
It turns out that this large-caliber machine gun is really useful. It has a long range, great power, and can penetrate walls.
The general defenses of the Japanese invaders can be easily penetrated. In many fortifications, the bodies of Japanese invaders were found, killed by bullets that penetrated the walls.
Therefore, Zhang Yong added the equipment of M2 heavy machine gun. Increase it by fifty in one breath.
Then summarize the combat experience.
The biggest flaw is poor intelligence.
A large group of Japanese reinforcements arrived, but the first brigade did not know it.
This shows the lack of mass base.
well…
This is a common problem in the national army!
Shake his head.
There was nothing he could do to fix this problem.
Only the Red Party has the solution.
"Ring ring ring..."
"Ring ring ring..."
Suddenly the phone rang.
Zhang Yong picked up the microphone. I found out that the call was from Tong Linge.
"Commander Tong..."
"Commissioner Zhang, well done!"
"Um?"
"Didn't you just launch an attack and defeat the Japanese invaders?"
"Not completely defeated."
"That's pretty awesome. The Japanese invaders were forced to retreat to their heavy artillery positions, and they even lost their own regiment headquarters."
"actually…"
Zhang Yong stopped talking.
He wanted to say, in fact, you can take advantage of the opportunity to expand your victory.
Your 29th Army can take over and continue to attack the Japanese heavy artillery positions. You have a 75mm mountain gun in your hands!
This can be used against the Japanese heavy artillery. Can be threatened remotely.
You still have a hundred thousand people.
At present, the Japanese invaders are empty of troops in North China.
If you can decisively seize the opportunity and attack vigorously, you may be able to reverse the current disadvantage.
However, it was not said in the end.
Why? It's useless to talk too much. Some things don't need to be said.
If the 29th Army really had such a consciousness, it would have taken action long ago. What does he need to say?
What a pity…
Slowly hang up the phone.
Sleepy. Go to sleep.
wake up. It's already three poles a day.
Wash up.
Go out.
I found that the atmosphere in the tour was a bit tense.
Probably not satisfied with the battle last night. Officers at all levels were called by Cheng Yaojin for lectures.
Last night's battle performance was indeed not good.
Barely average.
Of course Cheng Yaojin was not satisfied. He also wanted to show off his skills. It didn't work out.
Zhang Yong felt it was normal.
The First Brigade is a new unit. It is the first night battle, and it is already quite good to be able to fight like this.
From now on, if you fight often and hit again and again, you will naturally become elite.
Come to the headquarters.
I found that my desk was piled with newspapers.
Pick one up at random.
Yes, they are all sarcastic. Not a single good word.
They all say that Zhang Yong looks like a clown.
Needless to say, behind these newspapers were the Japanese traitors.
sit down.
Closing glance.
Thinking about what to do today.
Suddenly, the communications staff hurried over.
"Commissioner, there's an urgent call from the attendant's office."
"oh."
Zhang Yong brought it over.
The four words above:
Return to Jinling quickly!
