Chapter 115: Ambush of the Fourth Regiment
With the shocking loud noise just now, the Kwantung Army's artillery position consisting of 40 cannons was completely destroyed. The continuous mortar shells detonated the shells in all the ammunition boxes, and the lucky Japanese were stunned.
Then the pig jumped out and the wolf ran away.
At the edge of the fire, these ragged surviving Kwantung Army soldiers quickly fell into the dust. A team of 100 soldiers with enhanced mg34 general machine guns quickly eliminated them. When the friends rushed to the scene, what they saw was a hell.
Such a scene.
Throughout the heavy artillery position, the heavy artillery that the Japanese army was once proud of have been reduced to parts. Did the boss just ask us to fire too many artillery shells?
On the mountains on both sides outside the east gate of Yuguan, Feng Quan suddenly sneezed. Damn it! Who said I pinched him? The heavy artillery of Little Japan was not a decoration. It blew up a large number of birds.
The captain of the Japanese garrison, Shojiro Ochiai, and his entire brigade were all killed by the 626th Regiment of the Northeast Army, which was waiting for them. Under the leadership of the regiment leader Shi Shian, the Kwantung Army's artillery position was destroyed.
In 1932, the puppet Manchukuo established the Kwantung Army headquarters and moved it from Fengtian to Changchun. At this time, the Kwantung Army commander Muto Nobuyoshi was still waiting for good news from the Japanese garrison. The Japanese 8th Division of the Kwantung Army stationed outside the east gate of Yuguan
The 4th Regiment only heard a deafening explosion.
The Fourth Regiment sent many cavalry scouts to the garrison and artillery positions, but they never returned. They were all killed by the 10 centurions who had been ambushing them for a long time.
The 8th Division was the product of the expansion of the Japanese Army after the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War. After the Sino-Japanese War, Japan established six new divisions in order to expand overseas. They were the 7th Division to the 12th Division, and the 8th Division.
The division is one of them. The soldiers come from the four northeastern prefectures of the island nation of Aomori, Iwate, Yamagata and Akita.
Among the sources of troops of the 8th Division's infantry regiment, the Aomori people are relatively closed-minded and passive; the Iwate people are incomprehensible; the Akita people are a bit slow in doing things and have difficulty making decisions; and the Yamagata people are rustic and naive.
Like a big idiot.
But the most striking characteristic of the Japanese: absolute obedience, which is particularly prominent in the 8th Division. Although it has shortcomings of one kind or another, it is absolutely obedient to the orders of the division commander and regiment commander, and never makes any discounts.
. His merits of being conscientious and responsible are highly praised by his colleagues in the island countries.
"Nani? What kind of work? No wait, kill the chicken and give it to me!!"
The Fourth Regiment, which had been waiting for news for a long time, was restless and could no longer hold on to its curiosity. No news came. Could it be that these cavalry scouts were drinking with the garrison in Yuguan City?
More than 00 Kwantung Army troops embarked on a road of death that had been prepared for them long ago.
The weather was beautiful, the sky was dark, the clouds were dense, and there was a strong north wind. The black smoke from the artillery positions was blown along the mountain and filled the entire mountain road.
Why did Feng Quan fight this battle? Before the Kwantung Army marched southward, he wanted to concentrate the elites and adopt a tiger-eating-out-the-heart posture to eliminate part of the Kwantung Army in order to frighten the Japanese army and gain China time for rest and recuperation and negotiation capital.
The ambush position Feng Quan chose was very good. On both sides of the winding defile were cliffs ten to thirty meters high. The cliffs were about several kilometers long and only one to two hundred meters wide. In addition to some Kwantung Army buildings close to the roadside,
The old fortifications no longer had any cover. In such terrain, it was difficult for the troops to hide and deploy, so the Kwantung Army advanced directly without sending any leading troops to search.
The Japanese army did not send advanced troops. On the one hand, after the September 18th Incident, their operations to occupy the Northeast went smoothly, which was indeed arrogant. Another reason was because Feng Quan’s ambush position was behind enemy lines. It was actually early here.
It became the territory of the Kwantung Army. Since everything was calm on the front line, of course there was no need to send out elite troops.
In fact, the mountainous and hilly terrain near Yuguan is extremely complex. The so-called "control" can only be relatively speaking for guest armies like the Kwantung Army, while the local army can completely penetrate through the gaps in the enemy's army. It should be
He said that our friends' decisive tactical actions and rich combat experience are important reasons for being able to sneak into enemy lines and set up ambush quietly.
At the same time, God cooperated, the sky was dark and there was black smoke. It was a miracle that the Kwantung Army was able to discover the whereabouts of the Thousand-Man Team. In fact, the Japanese army's rough fighting style can also be said to be "accustomed" to Zhang Xueliang in the previous stage.
of.
War is about both sides making mistakes constantly, and it is the easiest way to treat one side as a fool, but it is the most useless for actual combat. War is the most complicated project, and the commander has done everything in the code.
The key points may not necessarily lead to victory.
Setting up formations on mountains and setting up ambushes based on dangers. During war, the most important thing is tactics. Some people are proficient in Sun Tzu's art of war, but if they don't apply it in actual battles, it's just talk on paper.
"Suddenly and unprepared" is the key to victory in an ambush war. When organizing a mountain ambush war, not only should we pursue terrain that can be "hidden under nine places" in battlefield selection, but we should also emphasize "anti-pathology" in terms of psychological confrontation.
Use soldiers and dare to be the first."
The stupid Fourth Regiment of the 8th Division all entered the ambush position in neat lines. When he saw the last Kwantung Army member also coming in, Feng Quan said without saying a word, "Bang!" After the gunshot, the Mauser 98k sniper rifle
The bullet fired happily entered the head of a suspected regimental captain riding a horse.
"Bang! Tuk-tuk...tap-tap..." The gunfire sounded one after another suddenly, "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Not to be outdone, the mortar fell into the crowd of the fourth regiment, "Boom! Boom!
!Boom!” There were explosions one after another.
Ten hundred-man troops quickly adopted tactics such as cutting off their heads, cutting off their tails, and attacking the center to ambush them, defeating their opponents with the least casualties. Why was it so easy to control them quickly?
The friends suddenly exerted their strength and attacked from the front and back. The Japanese were stunned and compressed into a small area of the preset battlefield. This is better. Let the rifle rest for a while, and the mg34 general machine gun also rest for a while. This guy 1000
It is indeed very powerful in close combat within meters, but now the living little Japan is already 1000 meters away, and bullets are cheap and plentiful, so we cannot waste birds.
The M2 heavy machine gun and the PM1938 heavy mortar began their official performance. People who have been soldiers and have been on the battlefield, or even novices with some military knowledge often say that recruits are afraid of cannons and veterans are afraid of machine guns. It is impossible for artillery shells to fall on the same cannon.
The magic in the pit is that the cannon is not aimed at it, but it is even more deadly if it is aimed at it.
The mortars kept firing shells, and the 30 heavy machine guns were even more lively. The large-caliber bullets fired were all connected in a line, and they were still red. It was so beautiful!
The 4th Regiment, which had no time to respond effectively, finally stopped moving. The cheap heavy machine guns fired back and forth across the entire ambush position several times. They felt bored and stopped one after another.
"Holy shit! Why don't you pack up your weapons quickly and run away! Are you waiting for planes, aircraft carriers, and Shenma destroyers to bomb us at dawn?"
When analyzing the losses of the Japanese army, one of the more troublesome problems is that in order to maintain morale, the Japanese army falsely reported wartime losses and results, making the actual losses of the Japanese army very inconsistent with its communiques.
I don’t care how your Kwantung Army ends up, we have other things to do, so let’s go!!
Chapter completed!
