Chapter 1379 The Battle of Changsha (2)
Author: South China Sea Eagle
"But have you ever thought about it, if Huangsha falls during the day and these Japanese troops take advantage of the remnant power of the victory to rush straight towards the Huangsha River, don't be afraid. Wait until night, and we will cut off their retreat together."
Li Yinglun said.
Yes, in order to fight this battle well, this trio has come together again.
"Cut off the retreat?" Zhang Tianhai frowned slightly.
"Yes, it is to cut off the retreat. In other words, when the time comes, our Huangsha River defenders will counterattack, and the troops on both sides of Huangsha Town will carry out roundabouts and outflank, cutting off the retreat of the advancing Japanese army. This should be able to annihilate the enemy.
This is part of the goal." Li Yinglun talked eloquently. In his opinion, this is feasible.
"Brother Ying Lun, this plan is feasible and the proposal is very good. But if we do this at this stage, we will alert the enemy. Huangsha Town is the retreat route for the Japanese army and will also be their logistics supply point. This can certainly rape
They have one or two squadrons, but considering the situation on the front line and our expenditure in fighting this battle, the gains outweigh the losses." Zhang Tianhai analyzed.
"Then it's up to you to decide!" Li Yinglun smiled and didn't really mind. In theory, he also supported Zhang Tianhai and Zhou Fangjie's approach - after all, fighting a war is like doing business.
There is nothing better than annihilating the enemy and getting back to your roots.
"Then this is the preliminary plan! I will give the order immediately." Zhang Tianhai finally made his decision.
"Agree." Zhou Fangjie said.
"I agree too." Li Yinglun nodded.
…
Soon, under Zhang Tianhai's order, the 5th and 6th Battalions of the First Guard Regiment quickly arrived at the rear of the Huangsha River position, ready to cross the Huangsha River at any time to support or counterattack Huangsha Town.
At the same time, the Japanese troops in the direction of Yueyang finally received the departure order from their commanders.
"First unit!! Let's go!!"
"Second Unit!! Let's go!!"
"Third Unit!! Let's go!!"
…
Under the solemn orders of these Japanese officers, these Japanese troops began to advance rapidly. Their steps were neat and uniform. The bayonets on the 38 caps on their shoulders were extremely cold and murderous under the moonlight, as if they were full of murderous intent.
Every road is filled with murderous intent.
The murderous spirit fills the sky, very fierce!
…
The first flash of fish belly white of the day slowly lit up, and the Japanese troops began to get busy. They were busy preparing to attack.
Different from yesterday's recklessness, this time the Japanese army was smarter. They directly pulled the artillery regiment to the outskirts of Huangsha Town. They would first bombard the outer positions of Huangsha Town, and then attack Huangsha Town.
Headquarters conducts artillery bombardment.
Hey, they are all lessons learned in blood and tears. Just last night, they were counterattacked by the national army. It was not an ordinary ruthless attack. They rushed directly into the position and were killed indiscriminately.
Of course, these sneak attack troops were not the defenders in Huangsha Town, but Zhang Tianhai directly mobilized the troops from the security battalion of the General Headquarters to attack the Japanese troops who came forward - you know, this battalion is one of the three major
The troops of one of the demonstration reinforcement battalions are extremely high in terms of firepower, soldier quality, and combat tacit understanding. They have also done research on fighting night battles, and they almost beat the Japanese troops on the front line to the point where they cried for their fathers and mothers, and there were casualties and casualties.
countless.
Unlike other troops who beat people, Zhang Tianhai's order to the guard battalion was: run away after beating them, and don't even think about occupying the position. We are just venting our anger. Why should they beat us, and we won't beat them?
It is precisely because of this that the guard battalion's attack was very fierce, and it completely followed the excellent tradition of "being good at sneak attacks", catching the Japanese army by surprise and making them retreat steadily.
According to normal circumstances, after a sneak attack, the national army will build positions on the recaptured positions, especially after taking advantage of them.
As a result, these Japanese troops followed the "old methods" and "old experience" and launched a bombardment on the outer positions of the national army. For a while, smoke and dust were everywhere, and it was very lively.
"Brother Ying Lun, these little Japanese are really willing to spend a lot of money... they use so many artillery shells to hit an open field. If these artillery shells hit Huangsha Town, wouldn't it be useless?" Zhang Tianhai shook his head and said, he really felt that
These little devils are so brave.
"You have to look at things from both sides. Look, these little devils, they actually have artillery..." As he spoke, Zhou Fangjie almost drooled. He was thinking about assigning this artillery battalion to the Second Guard Regiment.
However, it is almost impossible to achieve due to various factors. Now the Japanese 33rd Division is using artillery with such great fanfare and using cannons to blast open areas. It is really unbearable...
"How about...we find a way to capture their artillery camp?" Zhang Tianhai's eyes were filled with light, like a miser who saw a golden mountain. He didn't like it...
I saw Zhou Fangjie reluctantly looking at the artillery position in the distance that was constantly firing hot artillery fire, and said with regret: "I also want to take it down... It's a pity... It's a pity that it's not the time... to do it again
, then you have to wait a while..."
"Then just wait. If these little devils really cross Huangsha Town, it will be their time to die. We must make them shed two layers of skin before they die." As he said that, Zhang Tianhai laughed silently,
That smile was extremely sinister.
…
As time passed by, the Japanese army was finally about to launch a full-scale attack.
Perhaps because they had already suffered a big loss yesterday, the Japanese army directly adopted the tactic of "encircling three buildings and one", and launched fierce attacks around the west, north, and south of Huangsha Town, leaving only one area in the east.
noodle.
In order to quickly seize control of Huangsha Town and reduce troop casualties, Amakasu Jutaro directly ordered the artillery troops to launch an artillery bombardment at Huangsha Town, and their elite troops were basically concentrated in the west.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
…
Hot shells hit Huangsha Town hard, immediately destroying two or three houses. While causing air waves, the entire Huangsha Town trembled slightly.
"You stupid little Japan, attack directly if you have the ability! Damn it!" Huang Erfan, the defense commander of Huangsha Town and the commander of the second battalion of the 3rd Guard Regiment, couldn't help but cursed. After all, in his opinion, these Japanese troops were completely capable of a frontal attack.
I can't play it anymore. Now I have to directly bombard with cannons. This is absolutely disrespectful to martial ethics.
"Sir, these little Japanese are much weaker than the Japanese troops of the Fifth and Sixth Divisions before. If they can compare with those Japanese troops, I'm afraid we will be very sad." Huang Xiangsan reported, after all, he was there
A little while ago, he was an ordinary soldier, but now he is a company-level officer, so that's normal.
"What you said makes sense. Just wait. These little devils want to take over our Huangsha Town easily. I'm afraid they don't have such good teeth! I want to see if these little Japanese have better teeth than we do.
It's as hard as a rock!" Huang Erfan was indeed very unhappy. After all, no one likes the feeling of being bombarded.
"Sir, you are wise." Huang Xiangsan flattered him.
"Stop talking, it's estimated that we will fight until noon, and we will have to ask for reinforcements from the regiment headquarters, otherwise it will be really difficult to hold on, damn it." Huang Erfan cursed.
