Chapter 528: Those are all foreshadowing
"Military, you should think twice before you kill me! A lot of the wine you drink is sold by my old man!" Tang Dao said with a wink.
“This” Feng Chu couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth slightly.
This Guawazi, are you afraid that others won't know that your father gave me a gift?
“Haha!” Lieutenant General Wu, who was also in a great mood, laughed loudly.
After a while, he stopped laughing and waved his hand to chase Tang Dao away: "Okay, I and the 67th Army have accepted your baby's favor. Stop talking nonsense here and go back to rest. If you don't get well tomorrow, the Japanese will come. How can we give this old boy Ushijima Sadao a few more blows so that he doesn't dare to chase us so closely when we leave?”
"Sir, I came today because I actually have an idea." Tang Dao took advantage of the moment when the sleeping dragon and the phoenix chick were happy and reported quickly.
“You say it!” Lieutenant General Wu agreed subconsciously.
Soon, he regretted it.
When did Tang Dao's bad behavior change?
“That's right, I hope the headquarters will send me a heavy mortar battalion!” Tang Dao said with a frown.
“Get out of here!” Wolong's eyes nearly popped out of his sockets. He punched Tang Dao so hard that he didn't even recognize it.
No wonder the one who brings porridge and chickens and offers advice at night is so brave and kind that he wants to poach people. Moreover, this lion's mouth is so wide that when he digs, he is like a heavy mortar battalion. Although this does not mean poaching people's hearts and livers. But it is certain.
“Sir, it's not what you think. I only need them to cooperate with me for one night, just one night, I promise.” Tang Dao quickly comforted Lieutenant General Wu, whose eyes were about to pop out and hit someone.
That look, really, is particularly inviting. Especially when Tang Dao said it was just for one night, those who didn't know thought he was a pervert.
“Give you 30 seconds!” Wolong felt a toothache, but he couldn't really beat Tang out after he had been preparing for it for a long time.
Lieutenant General Guo's face turned red.
He is an independent battalion commander, and he is really talented. He is really patient enough in the foreplay before poaching people, and he can tease his colleagues who are always bold.
"That's what I think." Tang Dao quickly reported his thoughts as quickly as possible.
The two lieutenant generals were lost in thought.
Tang Dao's idea was far less earth-shattering than his previous foreshadowing, but it still felt unconstrained.
The 18th Division on the opposite side does not have the heavy artillery brigade, but it still has more than 20,000 troops, and it also has a 36th Infantry Brigade. If they did not have the fortifications of the Jiashan Defense Line, they would have used them long ago. If the army attacks wildly, will it remain dormant for two or three days?
In the past, the 128th Division did continuously attack and harass them at night, but the number of troops dispatched each time was not large, and they mainly focused on harassment. How could it be like what Tang Dao said, stabbing them hard before leaving, which would hurt them to the bone. Sayazi ran away.
“Then let's kill the Japanese as you wish!” Lieutenant General Wu finally made his decision.
There is a saying on the battlefield that strikes first to gain strength, but to strike later will suffer disaster. What's more, Tang Dao has the rough coordinates of the Japanese artillery regiment in his hand. What if it succeeds?
Even if it doesn't work, with Tang Dao's ability, it won't be a big problem to withdraw, and there will be a heavy mortar battalion following them! It was late at night, and the Japanese artillery and aircraft were useless.
When Tang Dao returned to the independent camp with satisfaction, he immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for battle.
Yes, the first battle of the independent battalion will not be in fortifications or trenches, but in the wilderness.
He was going to sneak attack the Japanese artillery regiment. Even if he couldn't really achieve the same great results as he did when he attacked the unsuspecting 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, he would scare the artillery regiment into hiding away, and he would not be prepared for the upcoming general retreat in the next two days. It's helpful, isn't it?
Others didn't know the location of the artillery wing of the 18th Japanese Division, but Tang Dao, who had studied war history in military school, knew that the 18th Japanese Division divided its artillery wing into three groups. They are located in the left, center and right directions of the Jiashan defense line. Because they are located behind the entire infantry front, the only one responsible for its defense is an infantry squadron.
As for whether the 18th Division's artillery defense will be strengthened in this time and space because it suffered a major blow, that is not something Tang Dao can know.
So, this is a military adventure.
However, the soldiers are also "deceitful"! The Japanese may have thought that they would be attacked at night, but they never thought that the Chinese would be so bold as to bypass the infantry line and attack the artillery behind them. Moreover, Tang Daoke was also prepared to run away in case of failure.
All soldiers participating in the night attack will not carry any rations or personal belongings except necessary equipment, and try to reduce their load as much as possible.
Furthermore, a heavy mortar battalion borrowed by Lieutenant General Wu, the special agent company, the 4th Infantry Company, and the artillery company were all at a connection point two kilometers away from the Jiashan defense line.
Even if the Japanese army sends an infantry regiment to pursue them, Tang Dao is still capable of blocking them for half an hour.
As for whether the Japanese army will grit their teeth and send more troops to pursue it, they really think that the other Chinese troops on the Jiashan defense line are dead! When Tang Dao ordered the entire independent battalion to prepare for battle, at least four infantry regiments should have quietly entered the frontline trenches in Jiashan.
The risk is extremely high, but the results are extremely attractive.
The Japanese army's attack power will be reduced by at least one-third if it loses its artillery.
The three infantry companies of the Independent Battalion were the main force in this battle. The first company was led by the company commander Leng Feng. The entire company owned 70 Liao-made Type 13 rifles, 25 submachine guns, 25 shell guns, and 20 Southern Type 14 pistols. 10 grenades, 10 light machine guns, 2 mortars, and one heavy machine gun.
40 rounds of ammunition for the rifle, 60 rounds for the submachine gun, 60 rounds for the shell gun, 5 rounds of grenade ammunition, 300 rounds of ammunition for the light machine gun, and 500 rounds of ammunition for the heavy machine gun. In addition, each soldier carries 4 grenades on his back.
The average weight carried by each soldier is about 7 kilograms, which is four kilograms lighter than during the war.
This kind of ammunition reserve is to ensure consumption in battle, and also to ensure that it can be regarded as lightly equipped during marching and retreat, and it can run faster.
The equipment of the second and third companies was similar to that of the first company, and they were advancing in an area about 500 meters away from the two wings of the first company. However, Tang Dao followed the second company, Lei Xiong followed the third company, and Guo Shouzhi was responsible for the special agent company and artillery company to assemble in the designated area. Behind the palace, Cheng Tietsou's fire support company advanced 800 meters behind the three infantry companies.
Zhuang Shisan, the chief of staff, led the baggage company to the station, and all personnel entered the trenches to maintain the defensive strength of the defense line.
It can be said that for this night attack, Tang Dao's independent battalion has already deployed all its elite troops. He and Lei Xiong have all joined the three major infantry companies to direct the operation nearby.
And the baggage company, the company with the weakest combat effectiveness, did not feel abandoned because it did not participate in the battle. Tang Dao entrusted them with the task of staying at the garrison. How much trust was that? The highest commander of the remaining station was also Zhuang Shisan, the former commander of the first battalion of the security regiment.
Although they were very nervous, all the personnel of the baggage company were loaded with bullets and retreated into the trenches. If the Japanese army took advantage of the chaos to attack, they would be the only defenders of this 1,000-meter-high defense line.
It is a night with bright moon and few stars.
The moon looked very bright, but it was covered by dark clouds from time to time, and the night was extremely dark. Except for the guides that Tang Dao had found half a day in advance to lead the way, the villagers turned on their flashlights from time to time to observe the environment. The whole army was silent and no one was allowed to speak. There is light, and even smoking is strictly prohibited.
From the left defense line, we marched continuously for four kilometers, and then to the front, the entire march distance even exceeded 10 kilometers, and just running took two hours.
This is a rare hillock in the wilderness. Looking at the sweaty soldiers trotting along carrying equipment weighing more than ten kilograms, Tang Dao stretched out his palm and waved at the hillock, followed closely behind him. Veteran Youzi already understood what he meant.
That's five minutes for the whole company to repair.
The soldiers sat down in the grass on the side of the hill with relief, and their rapid breathing gradually subsided.
The 'Hammer' who had been lying beside Tang Dao was also sticking out his tongue desperately. The four-kilometer rapid march was really exhausting.
Then the hammer suddenly pricked up its ears.
Apparently, it heard a sound that alerted it.
And, it's just on the other side of the hill.
Tang Dao sensed the change of the hammer, his eyes turned slightly cold!
