It's not about how anxious the battlefield is!
What greeted Yang Xiaoshan was the smiling face of Qian Dazhu, the infantry company commander who was supposed to be commanding the battle on the front line!
It took less than two minutes for the Japanese defense line to collapse!
Although this was due to a wave of heavy firepower output from the 20mm machine guns and 12.7mm heavy machine guns already loaded on the carriages, the main reason was the insufficient number of troops on the Japanese defensive positions.
The clock goes back fifteen minutes!
After Tang Dao led the convoy to arrive dozens of meters in front of the Japanese defensive position with trenches, barbed wire, horseback, and machine gun fortifications, and after looking at the searchlights from the fortifications and a dozen Japanese infantrymen walking out, Tang Dao already knew that if he still wanted to It is almost impossible to use disguise to enter this position.
This is already the last gate to enter the Japanese artillery position. Everyone must check it carefully!
Therefore, while the Japanese army was still sending personnel to inspect as a routine, and the Japanese army in the fortifications and trenches did not have the opportunity to be more vigilant, Tang Dao quietly issued the order.
You've already reached the little devil's door with a knife, and you still expect them to leave the door open for you, strip off your clothes and lie down on the bed waiting for you?
What are you thinking about? The devil is not the sister-in-law you hooked up with!
Attack!
Nearly ten Japanese soldiers who were striding over with guns on their backs were shot to the ground by submachine guns that fired wildly before they had time to react!
But this is just the prelude to the tragedy of the Japanese army!
Lift the tarpaulin to reveal the sandbag fortifications and four 12.7mm heavy machine guns hidden behind the fortifications and open fire!
The 12.7mm warhead, which can penetrate 10mm steel plates at a distance of 300 meters, simply ignored the two-layer sandbags of the Japanese army and directly smashed the two most threatening heavy machine gun fortifications on the Japanese army's position into slag.
The machine guns, mortars and MG34 machine guns that followed and opened fire became a nightmare for the Japanese infantry!
With a distance of only 50 meters, how can a group of light infantry withstand these heavy firepowers that even the Type 94 tanks cannot withstand?
The Japanese army, which was suppressed in the trench and had not fired a few bullets, ushered in a wave of grenades!
Howling Katano!
By the time a guard platoon crawled forward and reached the front of the trench, there were at most a dozen people alive in the Japanese position guarding the mountain road!
Not to mention the three-fold troop strength gap, the creeping guard platoon was basically equipped with submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles, and the fierce continuous firepower was simply not something that these Japanese troops could withstand.
It took less than 2 minutes to annihilate this infantry team with fortifications, which can be regarded as a record!
Tang Dao was also quite surprised that the Japanese army deployed only one infantry squad in such an important area. You must know that in the report sent back by the scouts two days ago, the Japanese army also deployed no less than 100 infantry units around its artillery positions. A strength of 1,000 infantry.
At first, Tang Dao was still worried, thinking that the Japanese army was playing some trick. Could it be that this was not their main line of defense and there was a second line of defense?
But as nearly 400 people from a company and a platoon poured into this line of defense, and the Japanese army behind them did not see any large numbers of troops invested in counterattack, he was completely relieved.
By this time, no matter what tricks the Japanese army played, the 400 elite soldiers who were already within 500 meters of the Japanese artillery position and the main force of the 200 guard companies that were approaching gradually gave Tang Dao the strength of an ordinary infantry battalion.
But this ordinary infantry battalion is anything but ordinary. They are two companies with extremely strong combat effectiveness under Tang Dao. Together with the various equipment they carry, their combat effectiveness is basically three times that of an ordinary national army infantry battalion. Even if there are two companies here, Tang Dao was not afraid of a Japanese infantry brigade.
In the distant morning light, the somewhat hectic roars and figures scurrying back and forth of the awakened Japanese soldiers also proved that they were far more panicked than they imagined.
As the infantrymen of the Fourth Line Regiment continued to advance forward, the Japanese mountain artillery did not fail to fire. However, as a mountain artillery, its effective range of up to 6,500 meters is its advantage. However, for targets that are close at hand.
how to say! It's just the little widow looking at the sedan chair - so anxious!
Other than the futile explosion of dozens of black smoke more than 800 meters away, it did no damage at all to the two platoons of the Fourth Row Regiment that were advancing in an assault.
Fighting bayonets is obviously not the forte of these modern artillery pieces of the Japanese army.
The reason why there are two infantry platoons is that Tang Dao has already divided the entire army into three directions. He led two groups of the reconnaissance company, a guard platoon and an infantry platoon to break through the Japanese artillery position. Qian Dazhu's men The other two infantry platoons each carried a heavy firepower group to attack the two wings of the Japanese artillery position.
Prior to this, Tang Dao ordered all officers and soldiers disguised as Japanese soldiers to take off their yellow military uniforms and wear only white shirts with red ribbons hanging around their necks.
This is to prevent accidental damage. On such a battlefield with poor visibility, everyone is highly nervous and will shoot subconsciously if they see someone who is not in uniform.
Not to mention the upcoming melee, when they broke through the position just now, some soldiers of the infantry company became nervous and pointed their guns at their comrades in Japanese uniforms who jumped out of the trenches. If it weren't for that soldier's quick reaction, He got back into the trench and shouted a warning, but was almost killed by his own family.
At this time, it is a time of close combat where either you die or I live, so naturally there is no need to hide it anymore.
Qian Dazhu personally led an infantry squad and a heavy firepower group to guard the newly broken position, guard his own retreat and meet the arrival of Yang Xiaoshan and others.
After more than ten minutes of fighting, not only did the two platoons led by Tang Dao have penetrated the core of the Japanese artillery position, but the mortars on both flanks exploded vigorously, and the continuous firing of submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles also suppressed the Japanese army. Sanba Dagai's pitiful counterattack gunfire, and the scream of the Japanese 92 heavy machine gun could hardly be heard on the entire battlefield, which also reminded Qian Dazhu that his two platoons also had the upper hand on the battlefield on both wings. What do you think of Qian Dazhu? Can you not smile when you see Yang Xiaoshan?
The Japanese army's defense against artillery was so weak that it exceeded the imagination of all commanders at all levels of the Fourth Army Regiment!
Speaking of it, this is really a coincidence.
From the moment he heard the gunshots in the distance and received the news that the front position was attacked by the Chinese army, Lieutenant Colonel Awahara Koaki, who was ordered by Nagano Kameichiro to be responsible for the security of his own artillery position, had a big head.
When is it difficult for Chinese people to come, but they choose this time?
If it were before last night, he really wouldn't be that scared. However, at this time, the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel was really scared.
Just as Tang Dao was once surprised, there were really too few Japanese troops defending the outer positions of the 21st Artillery Regiment of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army.
Major General Nagano Kameichiro has attached great importance to the safety of his artillery regiment's position since the beginning of the war. In addition to the original infantry guard squadron of the 21st Artillery Regiment, he also placed his division headquarters there. There were as many as 500 elite infantrymen near the artillery wing. In addition, they felt that this was not enough, so they also mobilized 3 baggage squadrons with more than a thousand baggage soldiers to replace the infantry to protect the entire periphery of the artillery position.
It's just that, in addition to the 36 mountain cannons of the 26th Artillery Regiment, there are also 4 105 howitzers that were begged for nothing from the front army headquarters. They are all big guys.
Moreover, the Japanese artillery abides by artillery regulations. The straight-line distance between each gun is 40 to 50 meters. If all 40 artillery were placed like this, the area would reach hundreds of acres. This would have to be all over the city. It is a plain state.
However, the dozens of kilometers between Jingxing and Niangziguan have nothing to do with Pingyuan. The area where these 40 cannons are placed exceeds 2,000 acres.
In other words, the area where the cannons of the entire 21st Artillery Regiment were placed was very large, no smaller than the campus area of a later comprehensive university.
To defend such a large-area position, let alone an infantry brigade, even an infantry regiment cannot defend the entire position tightly.
Of course, because this is a mountainous area, the Japanese army adapted to local conditions, mainly using points to lead areas. Four points were established in the southeast, northwest, and the rest of the locations were either cliffs, ravines, or dense forests, but they were basically within the range of his firepower. Barbed wire fences, patrols and military dogs can also basically ensure the safety of the defense area.
There are few people, so you might have a chance to sneak in, but it's of no use. Even the elite reconnaissance company of the Si Xing Regiment was unable to face thousands of Japanese troops and quietly blow up the cannon and then leave. They are not Sun Wukong who can resist the fire of Taishang Laojundan. There are too many bullets and they can't dodge.
There are so many people that it is difficult to get through such a fortification layout. If you want to get through, you can only attack the defense line with more than a thousand defensive troops.
The two main infantry regiments on the front line are less than 6 kilometers away from here. It takes one hour for reinforcements of more than two infantry brigades to arrive.
For Kameichiro Nagano, after deploying such troops, he even hoped that the Chinese would come and steal his artillery positions, and he could eat as many as they had. But, those were all deployments before yesterday afternoon.
Nagano Kameichiro had just given an order to Awahara Koaki to strictly guard the artillery position. Over there, Yokoyamazawa sent a telegram to Nagano Kameichiro, requesting the division for further artillery support, and vowed to ensure that two highlands had been conquered. As long as they work harder, It will definitely be able to open a gap from the flank and completely annihilate the Chinese defenders on the defense chain.
Nagano Kameichiro, who had already thought about quitting, rekindled his hope after repeated confirmations. After all, even if he is at the bottom, Nagano Kameichiro still has the carrot of the title of "Division Commander" hanging in front of his donkey, right?
Even if there is a bright spot in the record and the general commander sees it, he can be made to remove the word "agent".
So, in the eyes of Awahara Koaki, Major General Nagano Kameichiro is like a 'slut' who likes to be seduced, and he makes changes overnight!
Order an artillery brigade to move closer to the flank to support the 82nd Infantry Regiment in flank operations.
Good guys, when the artillery brigade advances, does it have to be accompanied by baggage troops and guard infantry? Especially since that area is closer to the front line, does it need to be more vigilant?
But Awahara Xiaoming could only mobilize more than 1,500 soldiers. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. What can he do?
As a result, the miserable Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel could only accompany the artillery brigade with two squadrons of baggage troops and two squadrons of guard infantry.
After all, this was the enemy's rear, but he didn't believe that the Chinese dared to send the main force nearly ten kilometers deep into the battlefield to launch a surprise attack on the artillery positions. Moreover, he had already thought about it. As long as he persisted for a day or two, he persuaded Nagano Kameichiro to deploy some more infantry to strengthen it. The defense of the main artillery position.
This is like a scumbag trying to fool both sides, but the end result is that both sides will capsize.
Just think about the scene of two women serving one husband and having fun together!
No, the pots and pans left behind by the 800 Japanese infantrymen were still hot! The Four Elements Group brought people over to touch it.
What's even worse is that guy Nagano Kameichiro! He talks about all kinds of righteousness and looks like a general who is about to die on the front line, but in his heart he is very afraid of death, especially after the precedent of the commander of a certain division who was burned by artillery fire.
The division headquarters was near the artillery regiment, but because he was close to the front line, three of the four squadrons of the division headquarters' guard squadron were marching closely with him. There was only one guard squad at the empty-shell division headquarters.
To put it bluntly, the main reason why Lieutenant Colonel Awahara Koaki is so scared right now is that the Chinese are coming, but he only has 500 available infantry.
As for the more than 1,600 artillerymen of the 21st Artillery Regiment in this position, forget about it. A regiment only has a few hundred guns, and most of them are Southern Fourteener pistols. Are they useless against the Chinese submachine guns?
Facing the artillery major who hurried over, Lieutenant Colonel Awahara Koaki jumped up from the camp bed and issued three military orders as quickly as possible: "Report to the division and regiment headquarters that our army is under attack, and ask for reinforcements from the two infantry regiments on the front line. Order They must each dispatch an infantry brigade to back up the artillery wing, and order two infantry squads to reinforce the peripheral troops.
All artillery units that are unable to fire are organized into infantry squads to reinforce the periphery. The remaining artillery units are preparing to retreat to the direction of the division headquarters. If the artillery units cannot be towed away and will be blown up immediately when the war is unfavorable, they must not be left behind by the Chinese. The personnel of the division headquarters and the 21st Artillery Regiment Headquarters are ready to evacuate at any time. "
Although his legs were a little weak, as the future chief of staff of the 21st Division, the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel had remained calm enough to ask for help, arrange defenses, and even thought of the worst outcome.
However, he still didn't expect that the Chinese were much stronger than he thought, and they could break through the defensive positions much faster than he did.
Almost as soon as the messengers left, news came that the Chinese in front had broken through the position.
Even without notification from the signal corps, the rapid firing of gunfire had already made the two Japanese military officers look ashen.
Awahara Koaki's command post is 800 meters away from the outer defense line of the artillery position. The sound of gunshots at such a close range means that both defense lines in front of the artillery position have been breached.
Including a guard infantry squad for reinforcements, there were more than 100 imperial warriors. They didn't even have ten minutes before they were rushed in by the Chinese.
Although there were still more than 1,600 people on the artillery position, there were already artillerymen with rifles and pistols, roaring and rushing towards the enemy's direction fearlessly.
But thinking about it with their buttocks, the two Japanese sergeants also knew that letting a group of infantrymen with rifles and machine guns rush into the artillery position was like a group of hungry wolves rushing into a herd of sheep. The artillerymen with only a few hundred guns in total were almost Not much resistance.
If nearly 20 artillery pieces on the artillery position were blown up, the 21st Division no longer had to wait for the results of other fronts, and retreating directly was the wisest choice.
With cannons, they were all beaten like this. If there were no cannons, wouldn't they be pressed to the ground and rubbed by the Chinese who had cannons?
What is the glory of a division? It's just a second-tier scumbag division. It has the glory of having an egg. In front of such an opponent, living itself is glory.
Don't tell me, at this moment, the two Japanese military officers had a clear idea and completely figured out their position.
This is indeed the case. Facing the 400 elite soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment, which had been tested by blood and fire for a year, most of them were heavy troops, the Japanese infantry defense line was like a pile of sand hit by the tide. It collapsed faster than anyone imagined. .
Era, the moment Tang Dao came to the Sixing Warehouse battlefield and established the Sixing Camp through the Battle of Songjiang, things had quietly changed!
The era when a few hundred Japanese infantry could withstand the siege of a Chinese infantry brigade no longer exists!
Chinese soldiers are not only capable of defensive warfare, they are equally powerful in offensive warfare!
Chinese soldiers are the best soldiers on the planet. If they are equipped with high-quality weapons, they can tear through any opponent's defense line!
Just like what they are doing now!
This also means that all the previous deployments of Army Lieutenant Colonel Awahara Koaki were a joke. Now the only thing he can do and do is to break out of the encirclement with the entire army!
In written language, it is called a rout, but in Nadera vernacular, it means that every one who can run away counts.
Unfortunately, the Japanese Army's long-term brainwashing ideology is also extremely stubborn, which also caused the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel, who had some brains, to miss his only chance to survive.
Not only did he not issue an order for the entire army to break out, but he bravely rushed out of his headquarters with his colonel, lay down in the fortifications, and picked up their telescopes to look ahead.
Although it is still dark, the light of machine gun bullets piercing the dawn sky and the light of exploding mortar grenades can be seen!
In the field of view of the telescope, the figures of Chinese people wearing white shirts and yellow trousers were just 300 meters away. They were even besieging a mountain cannon, using rifles and submachine guns that could fire continuously to kill the artillerymen who were hiding around the mountain cannon and resisting desperately. In the mountains, there was no intention of throwing grenades or using light machine guns.
The two Japanese army sergeants, who were already pale-faced, looked at each other with even more pale faces. It seemed that they already knew what the Chinese's purpose was.
The Chinese people's appetite is much greater than they just imagined.
What about exploding cannons? They are here to grab the cannons, okay?
As for the purpose of grabbing the cannon, it's not like selling it for scrap metal!
Really, when thinking about the large 20-kilogram shell of the 105 howitzer, Awahara Xiaoming feels like a frightened porcupine now!
Every hair on my head could not help but stand up.
