It must have been someone led by Tang Tuanzuo who stole the 106th Division's family.
In fact, the Japanese focused their main forces on breaking through the defense line and protecting their own artillery units. The more than 2,000 people of the 106th Baggage Regiment were nestled in Liugu Village, 10 miles away from the main infantry force of the 106th Division.
Originally, the Tang Dao was able to hit two shots with dates but without dates. The memory of the past time and space told him that more than 1,500 Japanese troops were beaten to death there. But now that the battle situation has changed, who knows whether the Japanese will deploy this way. .
Who knew that the Japanese would be so stubborn, even if time and space changed.
The Japanese troops located in Liugu Village even exceeded 1,500 people, with nearly 900 pack horses and 2,300 people.
The Japanese heavy infantry have never been scum, but they are quite capable of fighting. Even though the 43rd Army, the guard battalion directly under the military headquarters, is well equipped, including semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns and shell guns. Its light firepower is almost as good as the infantry battalion of the Four Lines Regiment, but its heavy firepower But it is far inferior to the Infantry Battalion of the Four Lines Regiment.
The whole battalion only has 5 heavy machine guns, one for each of the three guard companies, and two directly under the battalion headquarters. There are also grenade launchers, but only 2 for an infantry platoon. All the grenade launchers have only been trained in the past six months. It is estimated that The level is not even as good as the heavy troops of the second-line division, the 106th Division.
It may not be a big problem to use this guard battalion to fight two Japanese infantry squadrons, but if it is to fight against more than 2,300 Japanese heavy troops, I am afraid it will be a complete loss of wives and soldiers!
The Army Major who served as the battalion commander of the guard battalion had been following Comrade Lao Guo in Songjiang. He admired Tang Tuanzuo with all his admiration. However, when he learned that the guard battalion was going to attack more than 2,000 Japanese troops, he still broke out in a cold sweat.
If the Japanese are so easy to fight, not to mention the distant ones, Japan occupies North China and Southeast China, but just the nearby Wanjialing battlefield, then the commanders still need to go to great lengths to mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to fight 20,000 people?
At the moment Tang Dao put away his telescope and was about to issue the attack order, the Army Major's eyes were almost desperate.
More than one-third of the brothers in the guard camp survived the flesh-and-blood mill on the Songhu battlefield. Firstly, they took care of the veterans, and secondly, they were indeed tough and strong enough. Who knew that they could escape the first day of the lunar month but not the fifteenth? They all survived such a harsh battlefield in Shanghai, but in the end, they were about to win a big victory, but they all died here.
Do you think an army major can stop crying?
"Commander Lu, are you feeling unwell?" Tang Dao glanced at the guard battalion commander, who looked as bitter as if he had eaten coptis, and asked knowingly.
"Sir, I don't feel uncomfortable at all. It's just that the Japanese army is powerful. Should we call the military headquarters and send reinforcements to fight again?" Seeing that Tang Dao had already noticed his doubts, the Army Major simply spoke out.
"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, just like the love between a man and a woman. Sometimes if you miss it, you will miss it for a lifetime and never see each other again." Tang Dao shook his head. "If we wait for reinforcements to arrive, I'm afraid the day lilies will be cold."
"And, more importantly, can we wait, can the people in the village wait?" Tang Dao said with a sharp look in his eyes.
Ten minutes ago, Mingxin, who lurked from the forest to the edge of the village, had reported that the Japanese army had imprisoned dozens of men, women and children in Liugu Village into a small courtyard, and many Japanese soldiers were piling firewood outside the courtyard.
Obviously, the surrounded Japanese army was very angry and planned to use the lives of dozens of Chinese civilians to vent their anger.
As soon as Tang Dao said this, the Army Major couldn't say a word.
Not to mention that the Japanese will burn their own people alive in front of more than 500 of them, which will make him live in a nightmare for the rest of his life. The key is that many of the two infantry regiments of the 43rd Army are in Jiujiang If the soldiers recruited from the region knew that the military guards and battalions were such cowards, it would be difficult to stabilize the morale of the military.
"Besides, the Japanese are frightened now. As long as we attack them, they will quickly move closer to the main force of their infantry!" Tang Dao pointed to the mountain road winding in the mountains. "That's where their real bones are buried!"
According to Tang Dao's deployment, the three infantry companies of the guard battalion were divided into three directions to surround this small village surrounded by mountains on three sides.
Moreover, from the moment the battle started, they did not skimp on ammunition. All the light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars carried by Lu Sanjiang's cavalry platoon all focused their fire fiercely.
At the same time, three infantry companies sounded the charge horn, pretending that at least one infantry regiment was surrounding them!
In normal times, the Japanese army's baggage regiment with more than 2,000 people would have to stand still and wait for reinforcements, but now it is different. Now hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops have surrounded this mountainous area. There is only one way to stay here. Maybe, it will attract more Chinese people.
So, within three minutes of the battle, Lieutenant Colonel Hideo Chamura, then captain of the 106th Infantry Regiment of the 106th Division, made a decision that made Rokuro Matsuura want to whip him to death.
Except for less than 300 people who were left behind to block the oncoming Chinese army, the remaining 1,900 people drove their pack horses to break through the only passage.
Then, less than 4 miles away from the village, they entered a minefield!
That was buried an hour ago by a group of scouts from the Fourth Row Regiment and a platoon of infantry.
In order to rush for time, many anti-infantry mines were even thrown into the grass. They could be stepped on or not, so that people could see them, and the pack horses didn't know that the black stuff could blow them up.
When setting out in the early morning, the guard battalion applied for nearly 400 anti-infantry mines from the military headquarters, and the now wealthy Comrade Lao Guo approved the application without much consideration.
For this battle, Commander Xue asked for thousands of anti-infantry mines from that person. Comrade Lao Guo didn't know, so forget it, but Tang Dao knew it, which meant he knew it. He was not a brother or a commander. Shouting, with a shy old face, he forcefully asked for 1,000 anti-infantry mines and 80,000 rounds of machine rifle bullets from Commander Xue. The share of arms he received was not even much less than that of his direct 4th Army.
This prompted Xue Shuda to send a telegram to Tang Dao in his own name, saying that if the 43rd Army did not kill 3,000 Japanese troops, the previous bet between him and Tang Dao would be void, meaning that the two brothers would go their separate ways and pretend that they knew each other. Who is better.
As a result, the 43rd Army killed nearly 7,000 Japanese troops in the Leiming Gorge alone.
Take what Commander Xue said after the war: If I had known that the 43rd Army was so capable of fighting, it would not be a loss to give them all the arms.
This evaluation was extremely high, making all the generals of the armies and divisions participating in the war jealous. But what about the military exploits of the 43rd Army? The 106th Division had a total of 23,000 people, and the 43rd Army alone ate up the small 10,000, and the other 100,000. The army only has a total of 13,000 people, so what else is there to say?
Just these 400 anti-infantry mines sent more than 1,900 Japanese troops who rushed in in a panic into hell!
It's not that all of them stepped on landmines and were blown up. In fact, in this cemetery, the Japanese soldiers who were forced to a dead end also showed their bravery. There were even Japanese soldiers leading their pack horses and running forward without hesitation. When one was killed, he followed the next one, trying to use his own flesh and blood to find a way out for his colleagues.
But they underestimated Tang Tuanzuo's ruthlessness!
It is almost late autumn, the leaves have turned yellow, and dead grass can be seen everywhere. It is the time when wildfires occur frequently.
Tang Dao, who had already arrived here with an infantry company, ordered to use flamethrowers captured from the Japanese army to ignite large areas of mountain forest!
There happened to be a mountain wind blowing, and the fire took advantage of the wind. It took less than half an hour for several consecutive mountains to be ignited.
In such a fire, not to mention people and horses, even tanks were burned.
Tang Tuanzuo, who lit the fire, refused to give up. According to the changes in wind direction and fire conditions, he led Lu Sanjiang and others to the edge of the fire. When he saw someone trying to rush out of the fire, there was a sudden rush!
In the end, the number of 1,900 Japanese troops who could break out of the fire was definitely not in double digits!
And the food and other baggage carried on the packhorses were burned in this man-made mountain fire!
There are more than 10,000 people left in the 106th Division. They have nothing but a day's worth of dry food they carry with them.
If there is still something edible, it is probably the horse meat that has been grilled in the fire until it is fragrant. If the Japanese have a stronger taste, the 1,900 big lumps of meat can last them another week.
According to the outcome, being killed by bullets is more comfortable than being burned to death by fire. The 300 Japanese soldiers responsible for the aftermath were originally going to die more comfortably, but unfortunately, they committed a heinous crime.
Originally there were nearly a hundred people in Liugu Village, but on the day they arrived in the village, the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel, who had been roasted to a crisp in the fire, ordered to shoot and kill more than 20 young men in the villagers' homes. 's pillar.
Almost every villager rescued by the guards expressed mourning. Their only request was to execute the Japanese who could be seen here.
The Army Major granted their wish.
Dozens of surviving Japanese soldiers were beaten to death with poles and stones. The resentful villagers even pried open the mouths of each corpse and pulled out their teeth.
There is no way, who made the Japanese have the hobby of having gold teeth? With the idea of getting a little bit from the Japanese, the villagers, swept by grief, harvested nearly 300 heavy gold teeth. They were pure gold and were also the private property of the Japanese soldiers.
This also found a way for the soldiers of the 43rd Army to make a fortune. When cleaning the battlefield on the third day after the Thunder Gorge, the soldiers of the 74th Army were surprised to find that the guys from the "Beggars" Army were not only They almost stripped off the Japanese's leather boots, military uniforms, and even their teeth. Once discovered, they cheered and smashed and pried them with rifle butts and bayonets, as if they were gold.
Indeed, the 43rd Army finally harvested more than a thousand taels of gold, most of which was dug out from the mouths of the Japanese army. The game logic of killing monsters and earning gold coins in the future actually existed in this era before computers were even invented.
Matsuura Rokuro, who had all his wealth stolen by Tang Tuanzuo, was very sad, but he would never sit still and wait for death!
The Japanese Army Lieutenant General, who had been sitting on the Zhanggushan defense line for a whole night, sent sixteen messages to the Commander of the Eleventh Army, Koji Okamura, but the central idea was just one: requesting support, but land could not come. Then use the air, no matter people or materials, even if it is a piece of toilet paper!
Okamura Koji naturally couldn't sit back and watch the 106th Division being slowly strangled by the Chinese army. He had to do something.
As a result, the first large-scale air support in the history of the Japanese Army appeared.
Instead of gathering bombers to carry out large-scale bombing of the Chinese army on the Wanjialing battlefield, the 15,000 men of the 106th Division were distributed in at least seven or eight places on the Wanjialing battlefield. They did not dare to use too obvious markers to reveal their positions. Otherwise, they will inevitably be bombarded by the Chinese. Blind bombing will only make them die faster.
The Japanese Army has never used its own bombs to make its own people commit suicide!
You cannot use aerial bombardment that damages the enemy by 1,000 and damages 800 by itself, so let's use airdrop support! After all, it replenishes blood!
On the morning of October 24, the Japanese army used more than fifty bombers to airdrop nearly 20 tons of food to the Japanese army in the Wanjialing area!
As a result, due to the change in wind direction, no more than a quarter of the troops could fall into the hands of the Japanese, and most of them fell on the Chinese positions.
"Brother Ge, don't tell me, the Japanese canned meat tastes really good, better than the buffalo meat in our hometown." Brigadier Wang Da, who had both saved his head and won the war, was very happy to pry it with a bayonet. I opened a box of canned Japanese beef and praised it loudly while my mouth was full of oil.
Tang Dao smiled slightly. Japan, which had already begun the industrial revolution, had already started breeding beef cattle. Now that there are no hormones added, the taste is naturally much stronger than the rough-meat buffalo used for plowing in Sichuan Province.
Furthermore, the Japanese, a perverted nation, have always pursued perfection. In the future, a pound of snowflake beef will cost as much as 4,000 yuan per pound, but the taste is really good!
It is quite appropriate to let this race engage in breeding and farming!
“Uncle Wang, don't rush to taste the Japanese beef. Do you want to eat something else?” Tang Dao asked with a smile.
"I definitely want to! Hurry up, if you have any other ideas, don't hide them, tell them together, I will listen to you." Brigadier Wang Da quickly swallowed another piece of meat and stared at it with big eyes. Xiang Tang Dao.
Tang Dao's ideas are scary enough. He can scare away cerebral blood clots for ten years, but the effect is as good as ever. You see, Commander Guo is no longer sick these days. It tastes delicious! Especially when he led the war team to look for him everywhere on the battlefield to shoot him, his legs and feet were strong and strong, just like a young man.
"You deploy two battalions, with infantry squads as units. If you don't attack, just wander around the Japanese position. Believe me, there are still good things falling from the sky." Tang Dao said mysteriously.
"Okay, just listen to your son, I also tell Mr. Zhou that he is not good at picking people, but he helped a lot this time. It's not that he led the death squads to involve the Japanese artillery, my brigade brother If you say less, hundreds of people will die. I have to return this favor to avoid giving him a reason to talk." Brigadier Wang Da decided with a slap on his thigh.
At this time, the battlefield was not just for the 43rd Army. With the ambush and defeat of the 106th Division at Leiming Gorge, their living space was further compressed.
The main force of the 4th Army, which was originally stationed at Dajinshan and Dajinshan, also moved this way. Commander Xue also sent a telegram at noon: Your troops fought bravely. The annihilation of thousands of Japanese invaders in the battle of Leiming Gorge should be the first achievement! However, the loss of strength is huge, so we should take a temporary rest in order to fight again!
To put it bluntly, the implication is that your 43rd Army has achieved enough military exploits, leave some for others!
The defense line was about to be handed over to the 4th Army. How could Brigadier Wang Da be willing to do so? Tang Dao's proposal hit home. No matter what, he had to steal another wave of Japanese troops before becoming a reserve force.
After receiving the notification from Brigadier Wang Da, especially when he heard that it was Tang Dao's suggestion, the Major General Brigadier who was shot in the arm immediately issued the military order.
On the 5,000-meter defense line next to the 106th Division, there were as many as 110 infantry squads looking up at the sky eagerly, waiting for a pie to fall from the sky, and then snatching them away.
Finally, at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the white flowers bloomed in the sky!
The first and largest airdrop in the history of the Japanese Army came as scheduled.
In time and space, because the 106th Division desperately requested help, the Japanese Central China Front airdropped more than 200 lieutenants to supplement the lack of grassroots officers.
This time, nearly 1,000 people were airdropped, all of them elite veterans drawn from the units directly under the Eleventh Army.
In the past, the Japanese made so many mistakes when they launched the first large-scale airdrop of personnel in time and space that many officers either fell to the Chinese positions and were shot dead, fell into ponds and drowned alive, or crashed into tree branches. Became a human meat bun with barbecued pork.
This time, nearly a thousand people were airdropped, which was essentially a mistake to fix the problem.
But for Okamura Koji, no matter what the final fate of these more than a thousand elites, he just did what he, the supreme commander, should do, and did not sit back and watch Matsuura Rokuro and his 106th Division finish.
This is because the sitting position is different and the perspective of looking at the problem is different.
This is also the tragedy of the little people. Their destiny is never in their own hands, and the big people decide it with a word!
As a result, these little Japanese people who had no control over their fate staged a variety of dazzling ways to die in the sky.
Some were shot to death by machine guns raised from the ground; some, because the parachutes did not open properly, they danced and fell to the ground, splashing a pool of blood; and some, banged into trees. Go up, the tree is fine, the man who was stabbed into a skewer has been howling for a long time, and the Sichuan troops who came to search for it made the hair stand on end!
Those who are lucky enough to fall to the ground will face the roundup of the "supply grabbing team" composed of infantry squads. There is an order from above. If you catch one alive, you will be rewarded with 20 oceans. They are all in white.
However, the Japanese were stubborn and resisted arrest by shooting, so they had no choice but to massacre them with fire. Anyway, those who died were rewarded and had their gold teeth extracted, so the soldiers did not feel too much heartache.
In the end, as long as those who jumped from the air floated towards the Chinese position, the mortality rate was as high as 99%!
According to statistics after the war, during this large-scale airdrop of reinforcements by the Japanese army, less than 200 people fell alive on the 106th Division position, and the battle damage rate was as high as 80%!
It's the first time! Don't even ask for success. Okamura Koji, who was criticized by all parties, comforted himself by saying that when he was still young, he didn't even get through the door and it was over.
Later, couldn't he hold on for 30 seconds?
In this life, I will never be able to get on a plane and jump down. The cliff is Gua WaZi's mother opening the door for Gua WaZi. Gua WaZi is home!
This is almost the consensus of the 43 officers and soldiers who have experienced the scene!
Even people like Lu Sanjiang and Long Yan expressed to their parents that the Japanese behavior was too stupid.
Only Tang Dao said leisurely: "The airborne troops will become one of the most elite arms in our Chinese army in the future!"
Long Yan: How can one become an elite simply by being stupid?
Gu Xishui: If you can die at such a high place, you may be able to see Yaomei sooner!
Mingxin: I can definitely open the umbrella a hundred meters above the ground!
Lu Sanjiang: I'd better be a cavalryman!
Xia Dayu: Whatever the officer said is right!
Brigadier Wang Da: Can China also have such a big gray machine? Then my death is worth it.
Comrade Lao Guo: If you keep bragging, I almost believe it!
