Chapter 930: Running wildly? (Please ask for monthly tickets at the end of the month!)
Goto Koshiminami arrived 15 minutes later just as his subordinate who had already died in Taihang Mountain, China, imagined.
This then-Colonel Captain of the 108th Infantry Regiment had actually done the best he could do under the combat conditions at that time.
After the sudden display of heavy artillery by the Chinese army left no officer alive in its frontline headquarters and led to the complete rout of the frontline infantry, the Japanese army colonel, faced with a certain defeat and even an impending desperation for the entire army, displayed the qualities of an army colonel. Some courage.
He quickly used the last **** team beside him as the supervising team, and two light machine guns began to fire 200 meters in front of the defeated troops arriving at his headquarters.
The crazy bullets hit one of our own people. This was the first time in the history of the 108th Division!
With such decisiveness, the supervising team of more than 60 people was able to stop hundreds of soldiers whose morale had dropped to the bottom.
The price was just to kill a dozen more defeated soldiers who were at the front.
The brain is flexible and the legs are strong. These are the advantages of falling into the abyss of death, but they never expected that they had escaped the enemy's artillery shells, but they still did not avoid the dead **** sickle waving.
If used by troops from other countries, this move might have provoked a mutiny, but this group of Japanese soldiers are really Japanese.
This group of Japanese infantrymen, who were basically composed of poor children, did not dare to resist too much under the strict hierarchical system that had penetrated their bones even when faced with life and death.
Facing the strict hierarchy, their humility transcends life and death!
Goto Koshiminami first used killings to decisively deal with the defeated group of soldiers. Then, with strict military orders, he selected three infantry squads and strictly ordered them to return to the front line.
Of course, this time has nothing to do with breaking through the Chinese defense line. The total number of these three incomplete infantry squads is less than a hundred. They will become the first group of people to be abandoned in this Japanese army.
Their purpose of returning to the front line despite the gradually extending artillery fire of the Chinese army was to block the main force of the Japanese army that would rush out of their positions and approach at any time.
To put it bluntly, geckos cut off their tails to survive. They are the ones who cut off their tails on their own initiative.
Hundred Japanese soldiers had despair in their eyes, but they still chose to carry out the military order!
It's not that they are brave enough, but that execution will definitely mean death, but if they don't execute, they will die now, and their names will be included in the rebel list, and even their family members on the island will be implicated.
As Japanese, they know very well that the empire treats the Chinese people in the occupied lands as pigs and sheep, and its methods are ruthless, but it may be even more terrifying for its own people who disobey.
But these Japanese people may never have dreamed that the Japanese government, which has become increasingly crazy in the future, will not matter whether you obey or not, as long as the army needs it, lower-class people like them will be at risk.
You can imagine that as soldiers, they work hard under artillery fire on the front line, but on the remote main island, their wives, daughters and sisters are forced to become comfort tools and provide enough tenderness to their colleagues.
What's terrible is that this is not even forced with knives or guns, but a paper proposal, and most people are voluntary.
What a crazy nation this is! Crazy enough to make my head spin.
There is no need for a nation suffering from madness to continue to exist.
Nearly a hundred Japanese infantrymen marched retrogradely toward the front line under strict orders and under artillery fire.
After that, Goto Koshiminami organized all the remaining Japanese troops, including the civilian personnel in his headquarters, to mix them into a small team of fifty and a squadron of two hundred, creating a total of three squadrons with a total of 600 people. The core of a Type 89 tank, with five Type 94 tanks as the arrowhead of the entire army, and then with the last four infantry guns, marched toward the rear in a mighty manner.
This process is simple to say, but not so easy to do, especially when surrounded by heavy troops, and you may face a full-strength attack from an opponent surrounded on three sides at any time.
But Goto Koshiminami did all this in less than 10 minutes, rushing to the rear position with hundreds of Japanese infantry, armored troops, and artillery who stood firmly under his command in order to survive.
After the Japanese Army Colonel finished rectifying the defeated troops under his command, the gunfire on the rear position 1,000 meters away stopped. He knew clearly that the rear infantry and artillery position he had carefully designed was finished, and the only way to survive was also destroyed. The Chinese were blocked.
However, the Chinese arrangement is not without flaws.
It seems to be surrounded on all sides, but its communications are backward, resulting in the front, rear, left and right armies not being coordinated.
Just like now, the enemy on the front is still trying to attack the enemy with artillery fire, and has not launched an immediate charge, while the two wings are still waiting, seemingly waiting for his entire army to leave the field position that has been established, but from the rear, they have already launched an attack .
The seemingly completed pocket formation of the Chinese army, which failed to reach an agreement, is actually not as strong as they imagined.
"Our troops will launch a final attack on the enemy blocking our retreat. Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Imperial Army!" After Goto Koshiminami sent the last message to the division headquarters, he began the last chapter of his twenty-year military career. A charge.
If you ignore the heinous crimes he committed against the people in China, the Japanese Army Colonel at this time can definitely be regarded as a model among soldiers.
The troops were reorganized decisively, facing the predicament without hesitation, issuing military orders with lightning speed, and quickly finding the only way to break the deadlock.
The rear position will indeed become the last door that blocks the escape of his main force, but the infantry position was constructed by his own hands. He knows that there is no problem in blocking the infantry in that circular position, but because it is in an open area and the terrain is flat, they cannot block it. Live tanks.
Since the Chinese army attacking from the rear was detouring through the mountains, it was absolutely impossible for them to carry anti-tank guns like those used on the frontal battlefield. If they had mortars, they would have the strongest firepower.
But he still had a total of six tanks, one large and five small. As long as he ignored casualties and under the cover of the tanks, he would be able to break through the chain and escape before the Chinese on both wings could react.
If several Chinese regiment-level commanders could be on the scene and know all of his decisions, they might have to applaud him, but they would subconsciously frown hard!
As a soldier, all the arrangements of the Japanese Army Colonel are wonderful enough, proving his ability to become a general of an army; but as an opponent, seeing such an enemy is a huge headache!
At least, on the surface, the Japanese Army Colonel's idea is correct.
At the beginning of the war, the 771st and 772nd regiments on both wings did not dare to rush down the mountain rashly. The Japanese heavy machine gun positions were still staring at them. The rain of bullets spewed out by several heavy machine guns would cause tragic blows.
They are still waiting, waiting for the brigade headquarters to issue military orders, and charge the entire army at the right time to kill these Japanese troops at the minimum cost.
This time the 769th Regiment has suffered heavy losses, and the two main infantry regiments suffered heavy losses again, which is contrary to the strategy of "preserving strength and destroying the enemy on the move" required by the entire army group headquarters.
The slow mobilization of the main forces on both wings indeed gave the main force of the Japanese army the last glimmer of hope.
As long as they attack the rear positions with all their strength, even if the main forces on the two wings react, it will be too late.
However, Tang Dao saw through the telescope that the Japanese tanks were rumbling towards him in the distance, and a large number of shit-yellow men were quickly following the tanks, but there was a hint of coldness in the corner of his mouth.
The main force of the Japanese army was looking for a way out after seeing the slow movement of the two wings. Looking at their resolute look, on a battlefield less than 800 meters wide, there were actually 6 tanks leading the way, followed by hundreds of infantry, and no follow-up troops at all.
This plan is to take away the rhythm in a wave!
It's a pity that this time they are destined to fight for their heads.
Because, from the beginning, this simple circular position, which seemed to only be able to defend against infantry, was a trap.
Including the lack of infantry charges in the frontal position and the slow mobilization of the main forces on both wings, in fact, these were all intentional actions by the 683 Brigade Headquarters at the request of Tang Dao.
With the mind of the brigade commander who had arrived at the front line to observe the Japanese formation for more than an hour, how could he be so slow to respond?
Yes, it is said that the 80th Army has preserved its strength. It has always rarely supported the three infantry divisions under its command to use their few troops to "fight big battles" and "fight to the death" with the Japanese army. However, this does not mean that the 80th Group Army has preserved its strength. The group army would not dare to sacrifice or bear losses.
Any strategies and tactics must be adjusted based on reality, rather than just applying rigidly the so-called guidelines.
Judging from the current battle to encircle and annihilate the main force of the 108th Division in Licheng-Lucheng, not to mention the 921st Division Headquarters, even the 80th Group Army Headquarters, which is a hundred kilometers away, have all made the "not afraid of sacrifice, annihilation with all their strength" The besieged bandits will lay the foundation for our army in eastern Shanxi to gain greater strategic maneuvering space!"
Even after several big bosses estimated the troop concentration of the 108th Division in various places through various intelligence analyses, they also set their sights on Lucheng, which was empty of defenses.
Since a battle has been fought, they don't mind taking Lucheng, which is larger than Licheng. Even if they can't hold it for a long time, it will send a signal to the whole country that the 80th Army has the ability to regain the occupied territory.
Tang Dao and Si Xing Tuan hoped to show their ability to be united in front of the 80th Army, while the 80th Army also wanted to prove to the military and civilians across the country that they had the ability to be united and that they were an indispensable part of the Anti-Japanese Front.
Under such guidance, how could the officers and soldiers of the 683rd Brigade be stingy in making sacrifices? If Tang Dao had not called Brigadier Cheng and told him his tactical arrangements before he personally led the commando to conquer the position of Captain Inoue Xiaoshu, not to mention that the 771 and 772 regiments on both wings would have already descended from the mountain and started to attack the Japanese army. The main force launched an attack. The main force of the 769th Regiment and the Sixth Regiment on the frontal position there sounded the charge horn as early as when the Japanese infantry began to retreat.
While you are sick, I will fight for your life! The younger generations of China have always believed in the golden sayings casually spoken by their ancestors.
To put it more bluntly, there is a 99% chance that Xia Jiba was talking nonsense when he was drunk; to use a more literary explanation, it is the refinement of life experience!
However, this time, whether it was Brigadier Cheng, the young commander of the 769th Regiment, or Gong Shaoxun, who was worried about Tang Dao, they all resisted the desire to attack the Japanese army wildly, and just sat back and watched the main force of the Japanese army rush towards With a ground ring position as the core and hills on both sides as auxiliary blocking positions.
There are more than 470 Chinese soldiers on the entire position, including cavalry and artillery!
The Japanese army has more than 600 infantry, more than 100 artillery, more than 100 heavy machine gunners, and nearly 20 armor. In terms of strength alone, it is definitely nearly double the number of Chinese soldiers on the position.
Moreover, they also have 6 heavy machine guns, four infantry cannons and 6 tanks. With this lineup, even if the 769th Regiment, which has a geographical advantage, can block it, it will probably have to pay a huge price as before, let alone It is said that there is only one trench and two infantry companies of the Four Lines Regiment that are not even high mountainous areas and do not even have trenches.
If nothing else happens, there may not be a need to wait for the Japanese infantry to launch a board-mounted charge. Six tanks have already crushed the simple trench that is only one and a half meters wide and one meter deep.
But there is a new saying among Chinese people in the future: If there are no accidents, there will be accidents.
Under the strict orders of His Majesty Colonel Koshiminami Goto, the entire Japanese army has made a desperate move. The tank took the lead, and 300 people in 6 patchwork teams bent down and followed the tank. From a distant peak, it looked like Six toads each brought their own children - a group of tadpoles!
This of course requires using 6 tanks as shields. If any enemy dares to shoot at them, the 57MM tank gun and 10 7.7mm machine guns will become a nightmare for the enemy!
The air in the mountains was originally very fresh, but now it was so nervous that it was almost frozen!
Even Brigadier Cheng, who knew Tang Dao's tactics, stood motionless on a mountain peak 1,000 meters away with a telescope, his not-so-tall body frozen like a statue!
Subordinates who are used to him still chatting and laughing during battles all know that he is very nervous at this moment!
All Chinese soldiers who could see this scene were as nervous as their top commander.
Because this battle is not only about whether the Japanese army can be completely annihilated, but also because there are more than 400 elite and brave Chinese soldiers there, as well as a bold army colonel.
That is a wise and brave young soldier!
Because of his wisdom, he prepared a life-threatening trap for the Japanese who wanted to fight with their lives. And because of his bravery, he chose to enter the trap first, putting himself, a commander-level soldier, in danger.
The Chinese position was quiet, no one fired or fired, as if there was no blocking position here at all, just watching six big toads and their tadpoles, rushing towards the position.
400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters, always!
"Send a signal and order the front-line troops to charge on board! The second-line troops will be in position immediately. In one minute, charge on board!" A sharp look flashed in the eyes of Koshinan Goto, who was 400 meters behind, and he issued the military order.
The instinct of a soldier made him feel the undercurrent surging beneath the calm. Perhaps the next moment, the position in front of him would erupt like a volcano, spewing deadly flames.
But at this time, he had no way out. He almost didn't need to look at the two wings to know that the Chinese who discovered his intention had already begun to move. In less than ten minutes, his two wings would have troops that far exceeded his current strength. Chinese people came in waves.
He only had one chance to break through the position in front of him, and the whole army left here as fast as possible. Even if they ran out of breath, they had to run until they were 1,000 meters away.
There, he remembered that there was a mountainous area. As long as he could reach it and two infantry squads could stay to stop the attack, he could lead everyone who had passed through this position to escape back to Lucheng.
The poor Japanese Army Colonel doesn't know yet that he can abandon his subordinates at will, and the same can be said for his Lieutenant General, the division commander.
After knowing that he and more than 1,500 Imperial Army troops were surrounded, Lieutenant General Xiong Yuan pulled his short legs very quickly.
At this moment, we are probably almost out of Lucheng and will soon arrive in Changzhi.
The so-called main force assembly of the division has been destined to only become an assembly and will never march again.
The nearest one is fifty kilometers away, and the far one is a hundred kilometers away. When they come over after sleeping in the open air, the day lily will be cold.
“Onboard!”
“Long live the emperor!”
“The empire's military fortunes are prosperous!”
As black smoke billowed out from the rear of the tank, deafening shouts broke out from the Japanese infantry!
The long queue of tadpoles turned from vertical to horizontal and began to run wildly. The 10 tank machine guns also began to shoot forward. The 57MM tank gun also began to show its power. A shell hit a raised sandbag fortification on the position.
The fortifications were blown up and the sand was flying all over the sky!
Whether there is a machine gun or not, let's show the domineering power of the King of Land first.
That scene really made everyone who saw it feel numb!
Let alone the Chinese soldiers who are among them.
