Chapter 576: The wise Fu Rong Zhenping
Zhanshan position.←
The reconnaissance battalion directly under the brigade led by Cao Xingyang had already fought with the Japanese army face to face. After the fight, it was discovered that the Japanese army not only had infantry, but also cavalry and a tank squadron.
It is a tactical unit composed of a mixed gang of steps, cannons, cavalry and tanks.
A tactical unit of the Japanese army is usually an infantry brigade. Generally speaking, such a tactical brigade can be worth an elite reorganization division of GJ.
How many elite reorganizers are there? About 12,000 people.
According to this calculation, the mixed-organized detachment sent by the Seya Detachment is almost equivalent to a tactical unit of the Japanese army, but its firepower is far greater than that of the one they are.
With such powerful firepower and combat power, it is not a piece of cake to capture a small town with a large projectile and the so-called elite GJ guarding place of a brigade.
At least, Furong Zhenping, the captain of the 10th Regiment, thinks so. Taierzhuang can take one step and may receive good news from his subordinates tomorrow morning!
Therefore, even though he received a report from his subordinates that he had "exposed operations", he still didn't care and ordered the troops to continue to advance. Even if he attacked for a strong attack, he could still successfully take down Taierzhuang. It took only more time.
"Old Cao, the Japanese also have cavalry, with at least one squadron and tanks, and more people than us. How can we fight?" Ma Hongyang led two guards and bent over to touch the temporary command post set up by Cao Xingyang in Zhanshan.
"Old Ma, well, the strength of the enemy is definitely not good. The terrain of Zhanshan is not high, and you see that the slope is very small, the Japanese tanks can rush up directly, which is very unfavorable for us, but we can at least block the Japanese army for a period of time and give the brigade commander and others some time to arrange it." Cao Xingyang said.
"Well, I'll fight whatever you say?"
"Old Ma, the tactics of the Japanese army are those three axes, especially in the darkness. They are not familiar with the environment and will definitely be very cautious, so I arranged this way..."
"The camp, the brigade is urgently powered!"
“…”
"I called back and said I knew, and I guaranteed to complete the task."
"yes!"
"Old Cao, what do you mean by the traveler?"
"The brigade wants to eat this Japanese army, order us to block and lure the Japanese army into the preset position, and fight him with a beautiful annihilation battle!" Cao Xingyang said in his eyes. If he was beaten passively, it would not be what he wanted.
"That's great, what about our cavalry company?"
"Continue to reconnaissance. The brigade commands your cavalry company to continue to expand reconnaissance in the direction of Yicheng. If you find the movements of the Japanese army, report it immediately!" Cao Xingyang said.
"Completely, this battle has nothing to do with me?"
"Old Ma, you are the first person in our brigade to eat meat. In the future, you are afraid that there will be no Japanese to let you fight. Your mission is also very important. We must eat this Japanese army before the reinforcements sent by the Japanese army. Therefore, your intelligence reconnaissance is very important. Do you understand?"
"I understand, my old horse knows the importance!" Ma Hongyang nodded and led the team to detour to the east of Zhanshan.
The Japanese army reselected the search team. This time, it was not as listless as before. They were very energetic and carefully advanced along the highway.
This is not the first time Cao Xingyang has faced the Japanese army. Although he brought two companies of the reconnaissance battalion out today, they are all good soldiers who are top-notch and veterans.
He has rich combat experience, no one is on stage fright.
"Battle, will you fight?"
"Let the Japanese vanguards go first, we will fight the brigade behind us. Remember, we will only fight for thirty minutes, and retreat after thirty minutes. Do you understand!" Cao Xingyang ordered.
"withdraw?"
"Stop talking nonsense, this is the order of the voyage." Cao Xingyang was too lazy to explain. Anyway, these veterans knew the rules and would not ignore the orders.
The Japanese vanguards did not find the reconnaissance battalion ambushed on the hillsides on both sides. After passing carefully, they sent a safe signal to the brigade behind.
The Japanese brigade slowly pressed towards Zhanshan along the road.
"Shoot me within 150 meters!" Cao Xingyang pushed the pistol's safety and ordered him to go left and right.
"Battleman, do you want to lure the enemy?"
"You are smart. Don't fight too accurately later, and scare the Japanese back." Cao Xingyang smiled. These guys have already made their smart moves in war.
The reconnaissance battalion fought with the Japanese and always put the Japanese within fifty meters before firing fire. However, 150 meters was obviously to lure the enemy, not to expose their own strength, and let the Japanese army misjudged their combat effectiveness.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. As the clouds thicken, the night becomes more hazy. However, the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion have long been used to fighting in the darkness. This is not the first time.
"Prepare for the fight!"
In addition to tanks, nearly twenty trucks followed behind the Japanese army, and the sound of the engine's motor could be heard for miles.
Three sideboard motorcycles lead the way, and the road ahead is more than ten meters away from the light. It is not fast, but it is faster than walking.
"The Japanese are so generous, even more generous than us. There are so many cars and cannons..."
"All these will belong to us sooner or later!"
"Clerk!"
"have!"
"Record what you observed, how many tanks, cars, how many cannons, the number of light and heavy machine guns, the distribution of troops, etc., and immediately send them to the brigade department!"
"yes!"
"beat!"
As Cao Xingyang pulled the trigger, the battle outside Taierzhuang began.
Da da...
Several flames suddenly spurted out from the hills, and several unprepared Japanese soldiers were beaten and screamed and killed in battle.
Enemy attack! Enemy attack!...
The Japanese army reacted very quickly. They jumped out of the car and launched a counterattack and charge against Zhanshan positions under the command of their respective officers.
At the same time, their tanks also turned their guns and bombarded the reconnaissance camp positions.
The infantry began to charge in an orderly manner, and the organization and coordination were very close. Cao Xingyang knew at a glance that the quality of this group of Japanese troops was definitely very high, and even better than the Japanese army of the Sixth Division he had encountered before.
It is worthy of being one of the permanent field divisions of the Japanese army!
It is arrogant and arrogant, and it is not without capital.
"Grenade, grenade!"
Dozens of grenades were thrown from high places and thrown into the Japanese scattered formation, exploding one after another, causing the Japanese sprinter to attack formation to suddenly stumble.
Because the Japanese army did not use the tactic of intensive charge, the first wave of grenade attack did not achieve the expected effect, and the Japanese army was not very casualties.
"Battleman, the Japanese tank is coming!"
When Cao Xingyang looked up, he saw two Type 92 light tanks deviating to both sides of the position and rushing up along a winding "S" line, with great momentum.
This is also the slope close to the highway is relatively flat, otherwise these two Japanese Type 92 tanks would have fallen apart. The Type 92 Bean Warrior is the lightest and thinnest tank in the world and the worst performance, no doubt about it.
However, compared to China, which cannot even make tanks, this weapon is already very advanced.
"Wang Shun!"
"have!"
"Take two people to kill the bean bag on the left!" Cao Xingyang roared.
"Yes!" Squad leader Wang Shun carried his rifle behind him, greeted his two men, grabbed two bundles of grenades and rushed over. In the absence of anti-tank weapons, the best way is to approach it and blow off its tracks with cluster zd.
Also, they use rsp, but this thing is quite dangerous and inconvenient to carry and store. They are all made and used on time, so they did not carry it.
"Xizi, take someone to blow up the one on the right!"
"yes!"
Cao Xingyang met his opponent, but he did not feel afraid. Instead, he felt excited that he would be strong when he met the strong. This was not only a blocking battle, but also a trump card for testing each other and finding out the strength of his opponent.
Each unit has a different fighting style. Only by understanding its opponent can one defeat the opponent, whether it is his commander, tactics, or the qualities of his soldiers.
This is what a commander must do, and in the future, an instinct must be formed.
"There are Japanese cavalrymen who detour to our flank, and there are about forty or fifty people." The scout suddenly ran over and reported with sweat.
"The Japanese are indeed cunning and cunning. I ordered the company commander to take the third platoon to the flank to block the attack. I must not let the Japanese cavalry rush up!"
"clear!"
Ten minutes passed, and even a small hillside could not be captured. Major Shimayama's face looked very bad. If the troops were blocked here, how could he complete the task assigned to him by the corps leader?
"Kun Shimayama, it seems that the combat effectiveness of these Chinese armies is not weak, and they cooperate with each other very well. I really want them to be the Chinese armies we met in Yai County?" A Japanese lieutenant came over. He was the captain of the artillery team of this mixed detachment.
"It should be, it seems that they should have returned to Fangtaierzhuang!"
"The importance of Taierzhuang is self-evident, communications officer!"
"Hayi!"
"Send a telegram to Colonel Furong, saying that we were faced with the Chinese army in Yicheng yesterday, and they were very likely to turn to Taierzhuang." Major Shimayama ordered.
As soon as Furong Zhenping received this telegram, he became even more excited. He fought with this "Chinese" unit in Yi County for several hours. This unit impressed him very deeply, acted decisively, fought fiercely, and did not drag on the slumber when retreating.
This must be what the division commander personally told me, and the elite Chinese Central Army soldiers, Tang Army must be found!
As an officer who defeated the elite of the Chinese army and wanted to expand territory for the Great Japanese Empire, Fukuei Masahei seemed to have seen the scene of being promoted to major general.
How could this not make him excited?
Originally, he planned to stay in Yi County for a day and then lead his troops to the south to Taierzhuang. Now he is impatient to go south to defeat the "Tang" army and occupy Taierzhuang. His unparalleled achievements are right in front of him.
This time Fukuei Mahei was smart and pushed the Seya Detachment hard on the road to death.
