Chapter 904 is different!
When the head of the 108th division of the Licheng war, the head of the division of the Division of the Licheng war, the leader of the division of the division, received the telegram of the division's staff and handed over, and hugged his head at a time.
It was as if a sap from the void hit his forehead directly.
"Baga! Damn it, **** it, **** the Chinese, they are surrounding the spot again for reinforcements!" Commander Xiong Division roared in pain after taking a few breaths.
Why again, no need to ask, this made Xia Xiong Yuan smell a familiar smell.
The 108th Division has suffered a lot in this regard. Since January, in order to open up the entire line of transportation from HD to Changzhi, the 108th Division has frequently clashed with various Chinese armies. The Jinsui Army and the Sichuan Army are both old rivals. They are either being beaten or beaten. On the way to being beaten, the 108th Division was unstoppable.
But as the saying goes: If you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet! The 108th Division also encountered their most troublesome opponent, the 921st Division of the 80th Group Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army.
To use Xiong Yuan's evaluation of them, they are simply a peasant armed force. How can they be worthy of being established as a regular army?
Xiong Yuan's evaluation of them is not unreasonable. As an infantry division, this army has at least over 10,000 troops, let alone the entire 108th Division! Against an infantry brigade, even an infantry regiment, it must be capable of fighting!
But this infantry division never seems to have the courage to confront the Imperial Japanese Army head-on. They are always making sneak attacks, sneak attacks, and sneak attacks!
The size of the troops in each attack is not large. It is either an infantry squad, a baggage team, or an infantry squadron or infantry group? No, people look down upon it.
And the most troublesome thing is that once an attack occurs, someone has to save it! When an infantry squadron is surrounded, at least corresponding troops must be sent to rescue it. But the most annoying thing about these peasant armed groups is that if you send more people, they will just go straight into the mountains and send less people. Okay, okay, maybe his main force is waiting for these guys somewhere!
However, after three months of fighting, the 108th Division finally managed to open up the communication line between Handan and Changchun. Good guy, it did not suffer more than 1,000 casualties in a head-to-head encounter with the main force of the Chinese army, but it was messed up piecemeal by the peasant armed forces. , the battle losses were almost the same as that.
Those are simply a group of cunning poisonous snakes that jump out and bite people when they are not paying attention. Although the dose of venom is not enough to cause death, it still hurts!
Unexpectedly, they had such a big appetite today that they started to attack more than one infantry brigade. Who gave them such courage?
“Order the Nomura Brigade to defend on the spot and wait for support!” Xiong Yuan gave the order without thinking.
Although Xiong Yuan's head was buzzing when the army supporting Licheng was ambushed, Xiong Yuan was still confident in the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army. It was impossible for the Chinese to defeat the 1,500 men under his command in a short period of time. elite soldiers.
The Imperial Army is not inexperienced in this area. The battle of the Battle of Parallel Pass that broke out half a year ago can be used as a reference. Although the battle of more than 1,000 people's large baggage convoy being surrounded and annihilated is shameful, but it was a battle of the Eightyth Army. It was caused by the siege of nearly 10,000 infantry divisions.
Furthermore, they were just a group of second-line heavy troops. They resisted for a whole day despite the complete disadvantages of terrain and military strength.
“Your Excellency, Division Commander, there are less than 2,000 infantrymen in the city now!” The Japanese Army Colonel took a breath.
Because it has to control the long communication line of more than 200 kilometers in Handan, the North China Front Army Headquarters has not dispatched enough security forces to station. The 108th Division had to deploy sufficient troops in various counties and towns along the way. This resulted in the loss of troops at the location of the division headquarters. Just an infantry regiment and a part of the attached troops.
If these main infantry forces are sent out for reinforcements, the strength of the defenders in the city will drop to a terrible number. What should the Chinese do if they besiege Lucheng?
“Asshole! The empire can lose a lieutenant general division commander, but it can never give up 1,500 imperial infantry easily!” Xiong Yuan's reply at that moment was so tall that all the Japanese officers present were in awe.
At that moment, the light of the morning sun that had just risen in the sky fell on the shoulders of the Japanese Army Lieutenant General, and there seemed to be light on his body!
At least in the eyes of this group of Japanese, that is the case!
But after the war, the Japanese Army Base Camp commented on the Japanese Army Lieutenant General who resolutely sent out the second wave of reinforcements regardless of his own safety: This was a decision so stupid that it embarrassed the Imperial Army!
Japanese Navy: No, this is just the most normal choice made by the guy ranked last among a group of fools! There is no need for us to criticize a poor student too much!
The Japanese Army's red-faced response: Idiots never quarrel with idiots!
The Japanese Navy had a profound meaning: Oh! It's rare for a fool to have such a clear understanding of himself!
Japanese Army
Little did Tang Dao and Brigadier Cheng Da know at this moment that the battle they jointly fought, which was not even ranked in the history of the Great Patriotic War, actually caused the Japanese Minister of War and the Minister of Navy to quarrel with each other at the imperial military meeting. Saliva greetings, otherwise, these two people who have already felt a lot of sympathy will definitely issue a joint statement: The Imperial Japanese Navy is welcome to come to the Taihang Mountains to fight. The one who doesn't come is Sun Tzu!
After all, the Japanese Navy not only had aircraft and ships, but also tens of thousands of marines. On the eve of the defeat, it had 260 marine brigades.
As long as they dare to come, given the "motor oil" relationship between the two families, they are eager to swallow each other's oil. The Japanese North China Front Army may be holding back behind, and it may not be possible for them to take the initiative to disclose their information to the Chinese side.
There is a famous saying: The lesson people learn from history is to never learn lessons!
Xia Xiong Yuan demonstrated this characteristic to the fullest. In Lucheng, which had been waiting for a long time, nearly 2,000 troops came out of the city in just 10 minutes, including a total of 6 infantry squadrons, a heavy machine gun squadron, two artillery squadrons, a cavalry squadron, A squadron of tanks.
This elite force, which is similar to the future combined regiment, has 1,200 infantry, 12 heavy machine guns, 6 Type 92 infantry guns, 8 Type 41 mountain guns, ten Type 94 tanks, and 98 cavalry. It is enough to be placed anywhere. Defeat the presence of a Chinese infantry brigade.
But this has drained away the elite troops of the entire 108th Division Regiment Headquarters. There are only less than 600 defenders left in Lucheng, where the 108th Division Regiment Headquarters is located. Most of them are second-line supply troops, and Lucheng is more important than Licheng. , Changzhi is almost a ghost town.
There are radio waves in the already chaotic Lucheng City reaching Shentou Ridge!
Brigadier Cheng, who was commanding the cleaning of the battlefield to harvest the fruits of victory, was first surprised and then overjoyed when he received the telegram.
The rewards gained from today's battle were far beyond my imagination.
If the Japanese defenders of Lucheng were to defend the city, not to mention the 683rd Brigade, even if they gathered the entire main force of the 921st Division and lacked heavy firepower, they would have no way to defeat Lucheng. But the Japanese dared to abandon the city. That would be a waste of the initiative. The power was put into his hands.
If it had been someone else, he might have been satisfied with the results of today's battle.
annihilated 1,500 Japanese troops and captured nothing, while only suffering no more than 200 casualties. The battle loss ratio reached an astonishing 1:8.
Such a great victory has almost established his status as the number one general in the entire Eighty Group Army, and he must even have a place among the entire list of famous generals in the Chinese army.
Yes, the situation of the war was beyond everyone's imagination.
When the 772nd Regiment rushed to the battlefield, the supplementary regiment had already defeated the Japanese army without them taking action.
All over the mountains and plains, there are Chinese soldiers armed with red tassel guns chasing the Japanese invaders!
The Japanese infantry, which has always been tenacious, were not destroyed by the sudden rain of bullets, nor were they blown apart by more than 3,000 grenades, although more than half of them were damaged by the crazy impact of the rain of bullets and flying shrapnel. When the Chinese army's charge echoed in the mountains, almost all the Japanese infantry who could still stand had already picked up their rifles. Hand-to-hand combat was the best way to demonstrate the bravery of the Imperial Japanese Army. They dared to fight with this Soldiers on the planet are fighting!
Unfortunately, what greeted them was not the Chinese-made rifle and bayonet that were ten centimeters shorter than the Type 38 rifle in their impression, but a red-tasseled gun that was more than two meters long!
That was not a hand-to-hand fight, it was a one-sided massacre!
The 683rd Brigade Supplementary Regiment is the most poorly equipped unit among the 921st Division, bar none!
Because most of the guns and ammunition must be supplied to the two main regiments first, some soldiers who have been in the army for nearly two years do not have the opportunity to fire live ammunition until they are replenished into the main regiment.
But this does not mean that their combat effectiveness is low. What is the secret of the Eightyth Army's ability to survive nearly ten years of brutal civil war?
Is the military pay low? Are there many poor people? Or don't even have to eat?
It's faith!
˜Pleasure and satisfaction come from the spirit, which cannot be given by material things!
Those impoverished young people join this army because of some ideal. If you don't have a gun, then make your own!
The most traditional red tassel gun in China is their first choice!
In the more than ten months they have joined the army, many of them may not be very skilled in shooting, and cannot even throw two grenades within the prescribed time, but no one can beat the assassination of the red tassel gun.
This is also the reason why Brigadier Cheng chose them as the main ambush force instead of using two main groups!
The bullet and grenade attack only lasted for one minute before the charge sounded!
Of the 1,800 officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment, at least 1,200 were armed with red tassel guns, and 600 used rifles and shell guns as supplementary firepower, rushing towards the remnants of the Japanese army who were planning to fight to the death.
Then, in the face of this primitive weapon that was more than half a meter longer than the Type 38 rifle, the iron-headed Japanese infantry were powerless to fight back!
It only took two minutes to be completely defeated.
Japanese infantry hand-to-hand combat emphasizes the skills and strength of each move such as thrusting, poking, blocking, and teasing. However, the ancient Chinese spear art advocates that every inch is longer and every inch is stronger!
You prick, I **** too!
It's just that the result is that your bayonet is still half a meter away from me! My red tassel gun has already pricked my spine into candied haws!
You block, I'll stab you back! Moreover, several red tassel spears were stabbed at the same time! A supplementary regiment whose strength far exceeds that of the Japanese army has this qualification!
This is a Gil!
It's not like the Japanese infantry didn't fight to the death and no longer cared about their comrades, they pulled the trigger and fired. But in the face of the menacing red-tasseled guns coming at them, how many of them dared to aim and fire? Or, how many opportunities can the red-tasseled gun give you like a poisonous dragon spitting a message, and then pull the bolt?
The miserable cries of the Japanese infantry who were killed continuously resounded through the mountains and fields, which also contributed to the rout of the Japanese infantry!
If one person escapes, a chain reaction will occur, eventually leading to an overall collapse!
What the Chinese soldiers have to do is to catch up and stab the Japanese infantry who have lost their courage with red tassel spears. It is easier than hunting rabbits!
At least, the hare can run much faster than the Japanese infantry.
In the mountains and fields, the iron-lined cowhide boots that the Japanese infantry were proud of became the biggest obstacle to their escape. The heavy cowhide boots made it impossible for them to compete with the Chinese soldiers wearing light cloth shoes.
The first few Type 94 tanks, which gave the Japanese infantry confidence, did not exert the power they imagined.
In previous battles, the light and flexible 94 was almost unbeatable on mountainous battlefields.
With an average steel plate protection of seven to eight millimeters, the Type 94 armored vehicle is completely immune to light and heavy machine gun fire. It is basically accompanied by an infantry squad for protection. It is also difficult to be blown up by the explosive packs carried by Chinese soldiers alone. The two 7.7mm heavy machine guns have completely become two walking heavy firepower points.
In many battles, the Type 94 light tank opened the way to suppress the Chinese light and heavy machine gun firepower, covering the infantry charge, thereby achieving the final victory.
But on this battlefield, everything is different!
The Chinese did not rush to use any explosive packets and grenades, but all they threw were Molotov cocktails!
At such a close distance, each Type 94 light tank caught off guard was hit by at least five Molotov cocktails on its cold body!
If it's just that the armor is burned by the flowing flames, at most it can be considered as giving some warmth to the tank crews in this still cold early spring.
At least, at the beginning of the attack, almost all the Type 94 light tanks reacted, tried their best to twist the front of the vehicle, pointed the muzzle at the side, and planned to fight back, but when those blue flames flowed into the gaps along the steel plate armor and entered the engine , grilled to the fuel tank!
The nightmare is coming!
Those steel behemoths that couldn't be penetrated by machine guns or exploded by grenades began to emit orange-red flames, the color even more brilliant than the rising sun.
The sharply rising heat, not to mention the inside of the tank, even the hair and eyebrows of the Chinese soldiers who were less than ten meters away from the tank were curled.
Then, there is the explosion. The mixture of fuel and ammunition in the vehicle is enough to turn the Type 94 tank into a large firework!
Not to mention that the surrounding Japanese infantry were burned and bombed by their own tanks and suffered heavy casualties. Even the Chinese soldiers who attacked suffered nearly ten casualties because they were too close!
It can be said that the battlefield where the Type 94 light tank was attacked was the most brutal battlefield in the Shentouling ambush battle. The Japanese paid nearly a hundred casualties for this, and several tanks were burned into empty shells by the terrible flames. However, Even these scrap metals were not left by the Japanese, and were all dismantled and transported away.
Of course, it was all worthwhile. The first few Type 94 tanks not only failed to take advantage of the firepower of walking, but also completely blocked the way forward for the Japanese army, turning it into a dead end.
The cheap and easy-to-use Molotov cocktails made Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang's enthusiasm for Tang Tuanzuo rise again. He even agreed to the "unequal treaty" that Tang Dao needed a thousand labor forces, and asked Tang Dao to provide him with 100 Molotov cocktails! Even if he buys raw materials such as liquor himself.
Don't think that because the principle of the Molotov cocktail is simple, you can make it yourself. If you don't master the ratio of raw materials, you might end up turning yourself into a roasted pig!
There were not many Japanese troops who could escape the battlefield. In order to ensure the annihilation of the main force of the Japanese army, the supplementary regiment gave up attacking the Japanese cavalry at the forefront. When the battle started and prepared to attack these guys, they found that the Japanese cavalry did not turn around to help their colleagues. What he meant was that he just urged the horses to escape from the battlefield, running as fast as they could.
Even if the 772nd Regiment at the foot of the mountain responded quickly and organized machine guns to shoot at it, the Japanese cavalry did not stop at all. They galloped into the mountains and fields, and at least thirty people escaped. The 683rd Brigade had no cavalry and could only Haruka watched the group of fish that escaped the net escape.
However, in order to prevent these Japanese cavalry from returning to Lucheng to report the news, Brigadier Cheng sent at least one infantry company to blockade several nearby hills. There was no possibility for them to return, and the only direction they could go was to Licheng, twelve kilometers away.
Although Xia Xiong Yuan, who was far away in Lucheng, never received any reply from his subordinates, he was confident enough that he thought that the mountains and rivers might have blocked the radio waves, and he also missed the last chance to correct his mistake!
A battle at Shentou Ridge that Tang Dao had originally expected was slightly different from the one in the past time and space, but at this point, it turned out to be just the beginning.
Far beyond the expectations of the little butterfly in the future!
