Chapter 698: Fruits of Victory (Part 1)
From spring to autumn, from sowing seeds to hard work, for farmers, the happiest moment is the harvest.
For the battlefield at the end, reaping the fruits of victory is both joy and anxiety.
No one wants to sacrifice at such a time, but if you are careful enough, you will need enough time.
The independent battalion has completed the tasks assigned before the war beyond perfection. It took less than two hours to completely defeat nearly 2,000 Japanese troops in the valley, and then entered the mopping up phase more than an hour before dark.
But a few kilometers away, there is a main force of the Japanese army with more than 2,000 troops watching. If they make any changes, Tang Dao will be forced to give up the final search and move the troops, and even have to abandon the river valley for this reason. Large quantities were seized both internally and externally.
Two completely different tactical options are actually no longer controlled by Tang Dao, but the right to choose is handed over to Kunizaki Zheng.
And Kunizaki, who was several kilometers away, had felt something unusual as early as an hour ago. No matter how rugged and difficult the mountainous area was, the guy from Takeuchi Yunshan had been walking for almost 6 hours, even climbing.
Besides, even if there were some problems that caused the march to be slow and the field radio signal to be poor, wouldn't he still have communications troops under his command? If you can't run fast on two legs, you still can't ride a horse?
It will never last for a few hours, as if it has completely disappeared.
Kunizaki relied on his military intuition to feel that something must have happened to the infantry regiment of Takeuchi Yunshan. The most likely reason was that it was at war with the Chinese army.
"The **** Chinese must be trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain to rescue the besieged group of Chinese!" Kunizaki thought for a moment and then confidently made a judgment that was judged to be the most stupid after the war.
But given Kunizaki's situation at the time, this may also be the most reasonable judgment.
Because, no one could believe that more than 2,000 Japanese troops would be defeated and wiped out by a Chinese army that was not that big.
The 'Steel Army' known as the Empire of Japan is not a heavy artillery brigade without much combat effectiveness. The combat effectiveness of two infantry brigades is enough to compete with one Chinese infantry brigade without falling behind. There are only 3,000 Chinese at most in this mountainous area. There are still nearly a thousand people surrounded by Kunizaki on the lonely ridge of Qinglongling Village.
Therefore, the most that Takeuchi Yunshan's troops could do was to be blocked by the Chinese by destroying the road and unable to move forward. Moreover, due to the mountain's signal blind spot, the two armies were unable to communicate normally, which ultimately caused an illusion and forced him to mobilize troops. rescue, thus giving the besieged Chinese a chance to escape.
This is the reason for Kunizaki's final judgment.
Irrefutable and sufficient.
Kunizaki's main army did not send any more soldiers except for sending three small detachments to act as liaison troops to approach the Laojinkeng area.
Then, Guozaki issued a military order for a comprehensive general attack on Qinglongling Village.
The sky is getting dark. Although he has more than 2,000 troops who have surrounded Qinglongling Village tightly from front to back, mountains are mountains after all, with a circumference of nearly 2,000 meters. The Japanese encirclement on the periphery is even larger. It is inevitable that there will be omissions. place.
If the Chinese were allowed to use the darkness of night to sneak down the mountains and sneak away, even if they were just a few or dozens, it would be hard for Kunizaki, who was eager for revenge, to accept.
More importantly, through the obstacles encountered by Takeuchi Yunshan's troops, Kunizaki felt the "anxiety" of the other Chinese people.
The enemy's arsenic is my nectar! In order to avoid a long night and many dreams, Kunisaki completely lost his patience in waiting for Takeuchi Yunshanbe. Twenty minutes after shelling the mountain again, he committed three infantry squadrons to launch an attack from the east, south and west.
At the rear, there are three infantry squadrons on standby.
The number of Japanese infantrymen who have already gone into battle and are about to go into battle has reached more than a thousand. It cannot be said that they attacked with all their strength, but it can be regarded as using most of their efforts.
In other words, when the battle in the river valley of Laojinkeng was coming to an end, Qinglongling Village entered a fierce moment of decisive battle.
China and Japan have completely exchanged roles.
However, the situation of Leng Feng and Tong Yi's two elite infantry companies and a group of heavy troops was much better than that of Takeuchi Yunshan.
Although they were trapped alone, they had prepared early and had sufficient ammunition. Not to mention that the 145th Division headquarters armed almost all the ammunition it could get with the guard company responsible for protecting the transportation supplies. What more did Leng Feng's company need? What does Tang Dao give? Fully half of the submachine guns and shell guns obtained from the two big guys of the 67th Army and the 43rd Army were taken away by the First Company. The submachine guns alone are useless, and the bullets are sufficient. As long as you have the strength to carry them, you can carry them as much as you want. How much do you carry?
The most exaggerated example was a sergeant squad leader who carried 400 rounds of submachine gun bullets and 8 grenades in one go.
In his words: Even if I am going to die this time, I will have a good fight before I die. I have never had such a luxury.
Actually, the officers at all levels also understood what he really meant. He was preparing it for his brothers in the infantry squad. The person holding the gun dies, but as long as the gun is not broken, there will be a successor. He is leaving enough bullets for the successor.
It was with this belief that this thin man, who was only 1.6 meters tall, actually carried a load of more than 15 kilograms over mountains and ridges, far exceeding the limit of a single soldier's load in this era.
And there are not a few squad leaders or squad vice-presidents who choose like him. Veterans like them know one thing very well. If there is insufficient ammunition in a defensive battle, they can only use human lives to fill it.
They would rather die from exhaustion than be killed by Japanese bullets.
Sufficient ammunition reserves and a large number of continuous firepower configurations gave the Japanese army determined to attack the mountain a taste of pain.
The threat posed by mountain artillery and infantry artillery to Chinese soldiers with stone walls and trenches was smaller than they expected, but the Chinese's way of putting them into a 100-meter area and then firing them made them suffer. .
Even if the target is not exposed and only the muzzle of the gun is pointed at the general area below, several people will often scream and fall into the bushes and stone crevices.
To put it bluntly, in this combat mode, the more than 20 heavy machine guns mounted in the rear looked lively, but in fact their suppressive power was limited. And the precise shooting they were once proud of was no match for those who kept their heads buried under the trenches. The Chinese soldiers are even more useless.
If you want to attack the mountain, you have to wait until the Chinese ammunition is used up. This is not a false proposition. Logically speaking, the Chinese are determined not to be able to maintain such firepower for a long time.
But the key is, how many lives do they have that they can spend playing with the Chinese? The commanders at all levels at the front of the Japanese army were so painful that they just wanted to shout "Mama!"
But being unable to retreat, Kunizaki bypassed the infantry battalion captain and directly gave orders to the three infantry squadron captains. In the absence of him issuing a withdrawal order, those who retreated were subject to military law.
Without having to see the livid face of Mr. Kunisaki, a few Japanese captains knew that the so-called military law practice basically meant throwing a knife into your belly.
With Takeuchi Yunshan's encounter with obstacles, His Excellency Kunizaki's patience has been exhausted. At this time, he is irritable and irritable, a typical menopausal old man.
The battlefields in the three directions were in a stalemate. The Chinese soldiers were consuming a large number of bullets and the Japanese were consuming their lives.
This point is somewhat similar to the Battle of the River Valley.
However, on the other side of the river valley, it was because of Kunisaki's "confident" choice that he was able to continue the search and kill the remaining Japanese troops smoothly.
The ambush and rout battle lasted nearly two hours, and the search and kill operation also lasted almost a similar time.
The winter sun sets in the west, and with the last gunshot, there is no other sound in the valley except the laughter and laughter of soldiers and old comrades meeting each other and greeting each other.
Nearly 2,000 people worked together to search the river valley and the mountains on both sides of the river valley twice, but nothing was found.
There was no wailing sound to disturb the joy of the officers and soldiers of the Independence Battalion. All the Japanese soldiers became dead!
Corpse after corpse was taken out from behind the stones in the barley and dumped on the rocky beach of the river valley. Master Zhuang and an infantry platoon of soldiers were busy counting the number of people.
The Japanese army was in a miserable condition. Those whose uniforms were still intact were stripped naked, and only the **** corpses could retain their final dignity.
Most of the Sichuan troops were still wearing summer military uniforms. The relatively thick uniforms of the Japanese army were a good material to keep out the cold, especially the pair of cowhide boots. They were not flexible enough for mountaineering, but they were strong and warm. They did not need to be afraid of bushes and sharp stones. After wearing them, they felt My whole body felt warm.
This battle is nothing else. The military uniforms alone can satisfy thousands of Sichuan troops to keep out the cold in winter. Based on this alone, the Sichuan troops, who usually have runny noses from the cold at night, think it's worth it.
