"Although the 10th Division has been consumed by our army, the main force is still there. If it wants to run away, we can't stop it even if we want to, especially when its reinforcements are about to arrive!" Tang Dao's eyes Gradually moving from the simple map of the Zhaojiazhuang battlefield to the map of the entire southern Hebei province, I whispered to myself.
Several infantry company commanders did not speak this time, quietly waiting for Tang Tuanzuo's decision.
Tang Dao has been leading them for nearly two years, and his prestige is growing day by day. When he looks calm, even in military meetings, he never forbids anyone from making harmless jokes. But when he concentrates his thoughts, no one does. He dared to interrupt him easily, and his commanding temperament gradually became more prominent.
"I understand. Yoshio Shinozuka is afraid that the main force of the Southern Hebei Division will gather in Handan and Xingtai before I appear on the Zhaojiazhuang battlefield and discredit the new commander of the North China Front, Duo Tianjun, so he would rather give up the siege. This is a great opportunity for our troops to leave the battlefield." Tang Dao finally figured out the reason why Shinozuka Yoshio wanted to leave, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"That old devil, Yoshio Shinozuka, really thinks too much. Both cities, Handan and Xingtai, have strong fortifications. Without heavy artillery, even if there is a 20,000-strong army gathered in the southern Hebei division, it will be difficult to conquer such a city, unless we are added to it." Four Elements Group." Cai Yongguan said carelessly.
"Hey, if we hadn't conquered Shimen in the Jindong counterattack last year, Yoshio Shinozuka would not have thought this way, but as the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years. With the lessons learned from Shimen, the 772nd Regiment will follow How could Yoshio Shinozuka not be afraid when troops were sent from the southeast of Shanxi 400 miles away?" Wei Donglai said with a chuckle.
"Haha, it's a good thing to say from the East. This is the psychological impact that the two warring parties have on the victor and the loser after a battle that both parties are determined to win. Every time the victorious party thinks about it, it will gain more courage, while the losing party will start to be timid. , I am always afraid of making the same mistake again." Tang Dao smiled.
“Especially when one side loses consecutively, it can even form a kind of psychological inertia and think that it will lose before the fight starts. Although no one will admit this wonderful psychological factor, it actually exists.
Just like one of the reasons why I agreed to the Japanese to let Fujiwara go. In the contest with me, he never won. No matter how hard he trained, as long as he dared to appear in front of me again, I would have 100% victory. Kill him with 95% certainty.
No, I probably still won't kill him. With such a good exchange, I can exchange him for hundreds or even thousands of our captured personnel.
This guy has learned his lesson and never comes to the front line again, which makes me wait for him for a year. Calculating the time, no matter how many bones are broken, they should still grow back! "
Fujiwara Sentio, who was training rifle shooting hard at the Badaling training ground in Pingbeicheng, felt a chill in his chest for no reason. He looked around in confusion, and his mind couldn't help but think of Tang Dao's eyes looking at him full of sarcasm. .
Clenched his teeth, without even wiping the sweat from his forehead, he turned his eyes again to an antelope running wildly in the grass 500 meters away.
Fujiwara Senzuo, who returned to Pingbei City, was fully aware of a problem. The empire's martial arts originated from China. Tang Dao had the foundation of Chinese martial arts and the fighting skills learned on the battlefield. If he expected to defeat him with the advancement of martial arts alone, I don't know how long it will take for a man who has hundreds of armed guards around him at any time and whose skills are almost the same as or even stronger than his own.
Fortunately, this is an era with the advent of hot weapons. As a martial arts master, he possesses nerve reactions and super muscle control that are difficult to match for ordinary people, allowing him to understand the use of firearms far better than ordinary people.
So, after Fujiwara Senyuo, who had the dream of killing Tang Dao, continued to work on his body and will after recovering from his injury, he devoted more time to archery.
Using the power of the family, he hired an archery instructor from the Military Academy to guide him. He spent up to 6 hours practicing archery every day, accounting for half of his training time.
All the efforts are not in vain. After more than half a year of practice, without using a fixed magnification scope, Fujiwara Sentio's shooting range has exceeded the effective range of the 38 rifle, reaching more than 450 meters. If Japan's most advanced The advanced 4x sight can extend the effective range to 600 meters.
According to the evaluation of the shooting instructor, on the Chinese battlefield, Fujiwara Senzuo has firmly entered the top five among the millions of infantrymen in China and Japan.
Although this evaluation is a bit exaggerated, it is certain that Fujiwara Senio has entered the ranks of top shooters.
Just like today, Fujiwara Senzuo once again challenged his limits. Shooting an antelope running at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour from 500 meters away was even more difficult than shooting a well-trained soldier.
The antelope is too fast, and the color of its hair can easily be confused with the dead grass in the bush.
This is already the fifth time that Fujiwara Senzuo has tried to challenge his own limits. But inexplicably, he once again remembered Tang Dao's sarcastic eyes after defeating him, and Fujiwara Senzuo's small universe suddenly exploded.
After holding his breath for five or six seconds, Fujiwara Sentio pulled the trigger. The antelope that was frightened and ran wildly 500 meters away fell down.
Sentio Fujiwara's eyes showed joy, and he began to look forward to seeing him and Tang Dao again.
But this time, I am afraid that Tang Dao will never have a chance to face him face to face, and will only appear in his scope a mile away.
Then, he shot out those annoying eyes with one shot.
When he thought of this, Fujiwara Senzuo felt his blood surge all over his body, and then he felt a faint pain in the bones of his arms, which were all scars left by Tang Dao.
If Tang Tuanzuo, who is hundreds of kilometers away, knows that someone who is just the best exchange item in his place is training hard to be a sniper, Jubi will laugh up at the sky.
In World War II, not to mention the powerful combat power of the Japanese Army, which defeated China steadily, even the American infantry, whose equipment was far superior to theirs, was shocked by it. It was because the marksmanship of the Japanese infantry was too accurate. Bolt-fire rifle performance is maximized.
But the Japanese infantry's marksmanship was so accurate. In the history of World War II, super snipers from all participating countries around the world had left their names, but the Japanese army did not.
It's not that the Japanese army doesn't have snipers, but that in the Japanese infantry tactics, precious snipers are just disposable consumables.
The biggest characteristic of Japanese snipers is that their position is completely exposed as soon as they fire. There are only two options, one is to use the tree crown as a shooting platform, and the other is to wear camouflage clothes and hide in dug holes. inside.
It's okay to hide in a tree, but Japanese snipers not only want to prevent themselves from falling, but also want to show their determination to fight to the death. They also like to tie themselves to trees with ropes. They are not American cowboys with continuous firepower. All kinds of machine guns are pointed at the canopy of the tree, whether you want to die or not.
This also led to the fact that the Japanese snipers were very good at shooting, but they often died before they could accumulate enough kills.
That is to say, the equipment of the Chinese army is really poor, but anyone who is on par with them can be beaten into pieces by just using various tactics.
Sentio Fujiwara gave up his own strengths and went to learn sniping from some sergeant school instructor who didn't even know the basics of sniper tactics. Isn't that just a dead end?
As for the top five Chinese and Japanese millions of troops, it is a joke. There are at least two people in the Four Lines Group who can reach 500 meters to kill an antelope with the naked eye, and there are many crouching tigers, hidden dragons among the millions of people. Go, even Tang Dao, who has increased the range of the scope to 700 meters, dare not say that he is NO. 1. Who gave the instructor the courage to say this.
There is nothing better than sitting in a well and looking at the sky!
Of course, the shooting instructor and Fujiwara Senzuo didn't even know that there was another sniper rifle in the world called an anti-material sniper rifle. As the originator of the anti-material sniper rifle, Mao Xiong's anti-tank rifle and 20 customized testable The temperature and humidity 6x scope will be shipped to Taihang Mountain in a few months.
By then, Tang Dao will let the Japanese North China Front know what a super sniper is. With a 14.7 mm caliber bullet, anyone within 1,000 meters may become a prey!
To put it bluntly, Fujiwara Senzuo, who was trying to find another way after being severely beaten in martial arts, is going further and further down the road of becoming a joke.
This is somewhat similar to Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka who was frightened by the four-pronged group's tactics of attacking east and west and planned to run away.
"Since Yoshio Shinozuka has this reason, we can definitely use this to make a fuss and send a telex to Deputy Brigadier Chen to ask his people to wander around the nearest county town with a strength of no less than 1,000 people." Tang Dao Click lightly on the map. "In addition, send a telegram to Yang Xiaoshan and ask him to take the First Guard Company and the local militia to hit the 4th Division that is wandering around. But don't actually fight, just let the Japanese know how many troops they have!"
As Tang Dao issued military orders one after another, Jinan, which had originally focused all its attention on the Zhaojiazhuang battlefield and the rest of the area was relatively calm, suddenly started to stir up trouble.
Regular troops and militiamen in each county began to assemble, moving in groups to the surrounding counties. The **** company located in Zishan also quickly gathered more than 2,000 militia troops from the surrounding areas who had been trained for half a year, and rushed to the 4th Division position more than 20 kilometers away. go.
“Emergency, the Chinese army is massing towards the county seat of Guangping County, with thousands of troops!”
“Urgent.”
More than 15 emergency telegrams similar to this were placed on the desk of Yoshio Shinozuka who was making arrangements for the evacuation before dark.
"The enemy army appeared from the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, with nearly 10,000 troops. Our troops are withdrawing to Handan City at night. We are determined to hold on to the city. We hope that Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio will return to the army as soon as possible to defeat the enemy!" The call from Konosuke Ohma was even more disturbing. Yoshio Shinozuka broke into a cold sweat.
So much so that I didn't bother to criticize the obvious exaggeration in Daxiong Yukinosuke's telegram. Starry Night is a bastard. He obviously just wiped it out tomorrow, okay?
Of course, after the fertilization, Yoshio Shinozuka was more of a fluke. Fortunately, he made the decision to withdraw the troops in the afternoon, and he did not hesitate to empty out 80% of the stored artillery shells to force the Chinese back and give the division It gained more room for maneuver, and also let the Chinese know that their own powerful firepower shocked them.
At least this night, the Chinese will not make any move, giving the main force of the division a chance to retreat quietly.
"Order all ministries to evacuate according to the original plan. Each infantry brigade will allocate an infantry squadron to stay to block the enemy. After the main force of our army reaches the safe area, we will immediately evacuate in batches. Order the entire army to discard all except necessary equipment and supplies. Light the fire, and the pack horses must be **** so that no sound can be made." Shinozuka Yoshio finally gave the order to withdraw the troops with a bitter look on his face.
Taking the initiative to evacuate the battlefield is undoubtedly painful for a proud army lieutenant general.
In a sense, his 10th Division was defeated in this battle. Both in terms of human losses and material losses, it was the first time that the 10th Division had suffered since it arrived on the Chinese battlefield.
The loss was one of them, and more importantly, the "lure the snake out of its hole" tactical plan he made a few days ago became a big joke.
The Chinese came out, but it was not a snake, but a python, and he almost hanged him, a proud hunter who was ready to drink the snake soup.
But no matter how unwilling he was, Yoshio Shinozuka had to withdraw his troops compared to the battlefield situation in southern Hebei and the political risks he had to bear.
The 10th Division began to gradually evacuate at 12 o'clock in the morning. The infantry threw away their uniforms and all supplies; the cavalry tied towels on the mouths of their beloved horses; even the horses' hooves were tied with cotton cloth, and the heavy baggage soldiers lost their carts and carts. Some of the supplies only held pack horses that were also arranged to prevent horses from neighing; the artillery discarded all the damaged mountain cannons that could be repaired, and only dismantled 13 mountain cannons that were still usable.
Since then, the 10th Division has been an out-and-out light infantry division. The heavy firepower of the entire division is similar to that of an ordinary Chinese infantry division. Even if the 17th Division encounters them, it can defeat them.
However, the 10th Division, which still has more than 13,000 people, should not be underestimated. Once they fight for their lives, even with two elite regiments like the Si Xing Regiment and the 772 Regiment, it will be a bit overwhelming.
Tang Tuanzuo had no intention of using his elite troops to fight against the 10th Division, which had lost its will to fight.
His primary strategic purpose in coming to southern Hebei was not to annihilate a Japanese division, but to smash the Japanese army's raids on the base area, consolidate the strength of the people in the base area, and gradually develop and strengthen the Fourth Army Regiment and the Eighty Group Army.
And gradually extended this model to the entire territory of North China, gradually increasing the strength of the base areas behind enemy lines in North China, and completely restraining the entire Japanese North China Front from advancing westward to support the national battlefield.
Therefore, the Chinese army on the entire battlefield selectively became deaf and blind, allowing the main force of the 10th Division to leave from the left. A full two hours later, Tang Tuanzuo, who arrived at the front line of the battlefield in person, coldly ordered: " Flares!"
A total of 40 illumination bombs were fired from the trench front more than 2,000 meters away, illuminating the entire battlefield as if it were daytime.
The faces of the Japanese troops who were left in the trenches to block the enemy were all pale, whiter than the light of the slowly falling illumination bombs from the sky.
Of course, the nearly 1,500 Japanese infantrymen who stayed behind were not here to die, but to make contingency preparations. If the Chinese were to attack at night and there was no one on the position, wouldn't it mean that the entire army would come after them?
The 10th Division, which had lost a lot of heavy weapons and had no trenches, didn't know how many casualties it would have to pay to stop the Chinese. It might as well use ready-made positions as blocking positions.
And after the main force is 5 to 8 kilometers away from the battlefield, the Japanese infantry remaining in the position will quickly evacuate. According to estimates, all will be evacuated by dawn.
It's just that the Japanese army never expected that the Chinese didn't give them a chance at all. At 3 o'clock in the morning, they fired overwhelming flares.
Think with your butt, do you know what the Chinese want to do?
"All artillery, fire coverage for 20 minutes, order the entire army to attack across the board. In one hour, I will join forces with Commander Wang at the frontline headquarters of Yoshio Shinozuka! And forward this message to the 772nd Regiment and the Jinan Division Independence Camp!" Tang Dao ordered coldly.
“Yes!” The trench roared like thunder.
“咻~~~咻~~~” The sharp whistle of artillery shells pierced the night sky.
Shinozuka Yoshio, who was 6 kilometers away, suddenly looked back and saw the flames rising into the sky in the distance. It was by no means the effect of a few cannons, but dozens or even more!
After leaving the 1,500 imperial officers and soldiers who acted as a blocker, Shinozuka Yoshio's face became stiff. He knew that his intention to withdraw troops had already been seen through, otherwise the Chinese would not have launched a full-line attack at this time.
They couldn't take down the entire 10th Division, so they put their target on the 1,500 infantrymen at the rear, which was ten times the enemy's strength. In addition, they had an absolute advantage in heavy firepower. Taking down 1,500 infantrymen was just a snap!
"Order the entire army to continue advancing at full speed! Anyone who disobeys military orders will die!" Yoshio Shinozuka was also a ruthless man. He no longer dwelled on his mistakes and left no supporting troops behind, but ran away.
There is no problem with this decision. As long as any Japanese army dares to turn around to save their colleagues, the 3,000 regular troops of the 80th Army who have outflanked the Japanese army in the direction of withdrawal an hour ago will make dumplings for them on the spot.
Just as Yoshio Shinozuka predicted, the Chinese army, which had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength and heavy firepower, completely crushed the 1,500 Japanese troops everywhere on the battlefield. From Tang Dao's order to Tang Dao and Wang Xiaoqiang's hands clenched together, That moment was only 55 minutes apart!
The gunshots on the battlefield were already sparse, as Chinese soldiers were still chasing scattered Japanese troops who were fleeing.
Under the starry sky, the Battle of Zhaojiazhuang, which involved nearly 40,000 troops, ended with the jaw-dropping outcome of the top generals of China and Japan!
The 10th Division, that's it?
The man in the mountain city far away was also full of disbelief when he received the information personally sent by the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows.
What the hell, does Tang Dao have the physique to passively reduce Japan's combat power?
