Time was approaching second by second, and it seemed that there were only a few minutes left before the Japanese army could change defenses. When Zhao Tingzhu's first infantry battalion arrived, Song Biao let out the cry of a coward, and the two groups of brothers guarding the outside immediately
He pulled out the grenade, waited for a few seconds, and then threw it directly into the pile, two on each side. Amidst the roaring explosions several times in a row, tragic screams immediately came from the pile. Chen Wu personally led the team and rushed in. Three people
One team fired continuously with shotgun blasts.
It was only then that the Japanese garrison in Xiaobaozi suddenly woke up. Li Fugui's guard team also rushed up quickly. Their responsibility was to fight directly on the ground, achieve cross-fire from above and below, and strive to eliminate the Japanese army in the shortest possible time.
Song Biao had already set up four machine guns on the earth wall. He was just waiting for the Japanese troops to rush out of their dormitories one by one. He immediately fired a burst of fire. The brothers squatted half-crouched on the earth wall and fired inward. There were grenades.
Just throw it directly, and there will be seven or eight handles in a row.
In order to prevent the Japanese troops stationed on the north and south sides of Xiaobaozi from coming to the rescue, Zhao Tingzhu's 1st Infantry Battalion and Kornilov's 3rd Infantry Battalion urgently set up defense lines on the north and south sides to block the attack. More than 400 engineers from the engineering brigade had to
Quickly dig two rows of shallow trenches.
Although the training level of Song Biao's Manchurian infantry regiment was limited, it had practiced this task more than a dozen times and was still considered proficient. However, Song Biao himself was not sure about the level of follow-up combat.
He couldn't control that much. He had to occupy the small fort first. If he really couldn't defeat the Japanese troops who were attacking later, it wouldn't be too late to retreat.
Inside the small fort is the brigade headquarters of the Japanese First Cavalry Brigade and two infantry squadrons. There are about 400 people. Their situation is naturally in a panic. Everything is in chaos. In just a few dozen seconds, the first rush
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers who came out of their dormitories were riddled with machine gun fire.
The small fort is basically a civilian military fortress, with only a dozen dormitories and warehouses. The middle and north sides were originally large open spaces. After the Japanese army occupied these open spaces, they built some snow-proof sheds to store supplies. To the south are the dormitories and command areas.
Place.
Song Biao and the others seized the open space and the surrounding earthen walls, and surrounded the Japanese troops in those dormitories. As Zhao Tingzhu's troops followed them into the small fort, four machine guns were mounted on the wall, and four machine guns were set up in front of the open space in the dormitory area.
A row of sandbag barriers was set up, and the Japanese troops were targeted and fired wildly.
The Japanese army was completely in the most passive situation. The most frightening thing was that Song Biao also brought two hundred shotguns and a sufficient number of grenades. This was a terrible thing and it made up for the low tactical ability and poor shooting level of his brothers.
The problem is that every squad that rushes out to attack carries four or five shotguns. In groups of three or four, they first throw grenades and then rush to explode the shotguns. No matter how strong the Japanese army is in individual combat and tactical execution capabilities,
I can't withstand this kind of attack.
Song Biao prepared for a whole week and was very adequate in all aspects. Each squad was equipped with two spears, four revolvers, four shotguns and six Mosin-Nagant rifles. Each person was equipped with three
Grenades, there are two separate people in each squad holding torches.
Song Biao personally jumped down and led the group of Li Dayun and Li Dahan to rush to the south side, attacking each dormitory one by one. Regardless of how many people were in the room, he directly threw two or three grenades, and then rushed in and fired.
Although the Japanese soldiers were divided into their own dormitories and could not gather with each other, their will to resist was extremely tenacious. They would directly choose bayonet combat when the distance was too close. Song Biao was very afraid of this, and the prior arrangements were always able to
If you shoot, shoot. If shotguns are not suitable, use a revolver. Solve the battle as quickly as possible.
Even though the whole battle had been rehearsed many times in advance, it was actually very chaotic. Even more chaotic than Song Biao's troops were the Japanese troops. They were even more confused and couldn't find a clue at all, especially when Song Biao took the lead and shot the windows and doors with rifle grenades.
, injuring the opponent in a large area from a long distance. Half of these divided Japanese troops were quickly wiped out. More Japanese troops were still trying to rush out of the room and were killed by four machine guns on the earth wall and surrounding shotguns.
Explosive shooting, people were dead at the door of every dormitory.
It was not until Song Biao led his troops to the final brigade command post that the remaining fifty or so Japanese troops chose to surrender.
A row of sandbags were carried by the brothers in front of the Japanese brigade command post. A Maxim heavy machine gun was mounted on it. More than forty brothers were squatting and waiting to fire. A dozen other brothers stood with guns.
There were also those holding Russian-style spears and those holding Nagant-style revolvers in both hands. Everyone was welcoming the Japanese surrender for the first time in their lives.
It wasn't until the people from the Japanese brigade walked out with their heads in their hands, and Song Biao saw the Japanese general in his forties who was walking at the front in the crowd, that he suddenly realized that he had accidentally stabbed a super
Hornet's nest, if he is lucky, the opponent he catches this time is probably the legendary Japanese general "Akiyama Haogu".
Akiyama is so ancient!
The guy who is known as the father of the Japanese cavalry.
Song Biao looked at the rank of the Japanese general in his forties very carefully. He should be a major general. Such a rank must be the highest commander in the first brigade of the Japanese cavalry. Except for Akiyama Haogu, it is basically impossible to be
The second person.
Both sides were surprised.
Akiyama Yoshiko looked up at the troops in front of him, and was very surprised that these people were actually bandit troops from Kanto. They were so well-equipped, but they were wearing the kind of large cotton-padded jackets and leather jackets that were worn by local villagers.
In Song Biao's army, most of them had Qing braids, which is the most direct evidence.
All these discoveries surprised Akiyama Yoshiko, and he also felt a little ashamed. He had always thought it was a surprise attack by the Russian elite troops. He had carefully calculated everything, but he did not expect that there would be troops bypassing the Japanese defense lines and slipping through the cracks.
He rushed over to raid his brigade headquarters, and after all, his brigade headquarters still had two infantry squadrons.
What surprised Song Biao was that Akiyama Haogu seemed very plain. He didn't have too much sense of shame, nor too much annoyance and frustration. Even when he was captured, the Japanese major general showed his appearance.
His attitude was resigned to his fate, and his expression was almost casual.
Since the other party was so free and easy, Song Biao didn't bother to talk to him. He didn't even want to waste time. He called Li Dayun and gave him a few instructions, and asked Li Dayun to lead the team to imprison these Japanese officers and order soldiers, and then took Zhao Tingzhu with him.
Wait for the others to leave and continue to set up positions outside the small fort, preparing for a possible counterattack.
For forty-five minutes, it was still dark.
Song Biao's troops destroyed two Japanese squadrons in Xiaobaozi. This speed was extremely fast. Even the Japanese army at its peak could not do it. The secret to victory was simple: sneak attacks, fierce guns, many people, and many machine guns.
More grenades.
After occupying Xiaobaozi, Song Biao asked each squadron leader to count the casualties. The result was that there were more than 70 casualties, which was not too much, but it was really a lot. Xiaobaozi was the location of the Japanese brigade headquarters, and the amount of supplies prepared was still very small.
A few are considered worthy of this number of casualties.
After counting the specific casualties, Song Biao re-distributed the No. 1 Guard Squadron as a scout to the surrounding areas to collect intelligence. The other squadrons continued to dig trenches and strengthen the defenses of Xiaobaozi.
The Japanese army could not bear the loss of Xiaobaozi. The entire brigade command system was completely torn apart. The northern position was under great pressure and it was impossible to withdraw troops. It was difficult to organize a counterattack without enough troops.
After daybreak, Major von Eske led the Sk Second Infantry Regiment and Xue Changqing's transportation brigade also arrived at Xiaobaozi. They came from Datai Village. They would encounter a one-kilometer-long defense line on the road because of the strength of the Japanese army.
It is already seriously insufficient, and this line of defense itself is relatively scattered.
Shortly after Major von Eske launched the attack, more than 600 Japanese soldiers stationed on the southern defense line suddenly retreated to the Dongtaizi position.
Soldiers usually know the outcome of the war better than the commander-in-chief, but no one always cares about their voices. The trick is that when soldiers think they will lose, 90% of them will lose, and when soldiers think they will win, 70% of the time.
Everyone will win.
This is morale.
Before going to Fushun, Song Biao invited Second Lieutenant Tonokov and other six Russian soldiers to go on the road with him, but they were rejected because they believed that staying in Niujiapu to continue "recuperating" was the safest choice.
They think this way because they believe that the Russian army will only continue to lose the war.
The ancients said that to capture the thief, capture the king first.
This statement is indeed true. The 1st Japanese Cavalry Brigade had suffered several consecutive Russian attacks. The Japanese 8th Division that came to rescue them in an emergency was wiped out. Now even the brigade commander has been captured alive. The brigade
, the grain station and ammunition depot were also taken away, and the morale of the first brigade plummeted to the lowest level.
Aware of this, Song Biao immediately decided to use a regiment to raid the main Japanese positions before the Second Army's main force attacked at Liuhekou.
This move is risky, but the risk is always worth it.
Song Biao immediately invited Major von Eske and Major Kornilov to come over for discussion, because it was too easy to win along the way. Major Baron Eske was also very excited and very passionate about taking risks with Song Biao to attack his opponent.
The main position.
After some discussion, the three of them unanimously decided that Major Kornilov would stay at the small fort. Song Biao would rush out with Zhao Tingzhu's 1st Infantry Battalion and two guard squadrons. The main force for charging into the battle would definitely be von Eske.
Major Baron was in charge of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of Sk. Song Biao and his gang were able to rob homes, raid enemy camps at night, and attack the Japanese positions head-on. They must be extremely weak.
After making some adjustments, Song Biao transferred two squadrons from Xue Changqing's transportation brigade, plus his own two guard squadrons to temporarily form a guard battalion, and personally served as the battalion commander, plus Zhao Tingzhu's first step
The barracks and the 2nd Sk Infantry Regiment, totaling 2,700 people, rushed straight towards the position at the mouth of Liuhe River in a dark force.
The distance from Xiaobaozi to the mouth of Liuhe River is less than 1,500 meters. Song Biao also encountered a group of Japanese troops trying to come to rescue the brigade headquarters on the way. There were about two squadrons of troops, but only more than 350 people.
They were quickly overwhelmed by the 2nd Sk Infantry Regiment in front.
The main source of troops of the Sk Infantry Regiment comes from hunters. Its biggest characteristics are accurate marksmanship, strong fighting and field combat capabilities, which are consistent with most of the main forces of the Japanese army. They defeated two Japanese squadrons as soon as they went into battle.
Song Biao saw very clearly from behind that it was really important for soldiers to have good marksmanship. Even if the average hit rate was 15% higher, the enemy army on the opposite side would not be able to bear it. If dozens of soldiers died in a row, they would be panicked.
The more chaos there is.
When Song Biao led the two thousand seven hundred troops to a place less than 500 meters away from the Japanese defense line at Liuhekou, he was about to organize the defense line to attack the opponent's position one by one. The Russian 3rd Siberian Infantry Division opposite the Japanese army
Suddenly, a general attack was launched at this time, bombarding hundreds of artillery shells continuously.
The Russo-Japanese War is far from comparable to subsequent wars. Being able to fire hundreds of artillery shells in a battle of this scale is already a very luxury.
Industrial productivity is different. Nowadays, the cost of a cannon shell is basically no less than twenty oceans. One cannon shot is the monthly salary of a soldier in the Manchurian Infantry Regiment. How can it not be luxurious?
Before the Russian army could organize a full-scale charge, Song Biao made a decisive decision and charged directly with the Sk Infantry Regiment and Zhao Tingzhu's First Infantry Battalion. He stabbed the Japanese army from behind the defense line with a knife, leaving the Japanese army completely defenseless.
Song Biao's original plan was to have the Sk Infantry Regiment charge at the front, and he would follow behind with his brothers to share the spoils equally. However, when faced with such a mess, he had no choice but to rush in and reap the benefits first.
The Japanese army was attacked from the front and back, and the communication trenches in the rear positions were directly cut off. The worst thing was that the brigade headquarters was occupied by the "Russian army". There was not much morale to continue to resist, but the Sk Infantry Regiment at the front suffered more than a hundred casualties.
He was just a man, so Song Biao seized the Japanese position at Liuhekou ahead of the main force of the Russian Second Army, and then asked Major von Eske to quickly send people to notify the other side to prevent the Russian army from continuing to fire two rounds of artillery.
When Song Biao led his brothers and followed the Sk Infantry Regiment into the defense line at Liuhekou, his sharp eyes glanced over and he immediately knew that he had made the right bet. It was so profitable. A dozen heavy machine guns were in the dark.
Arranged on a one-kilometer-long position, one for every 100 meters, this will be his capital for future revolutions.
