In fact, both Japan and Russia are not ready to continue the main battle in Heigootai. The Japanese Fifth Army has not yet been formed, the Third Army has not been transferred from Lushun, and the Russian army’s new reinforcements are still there.
Omsk, Moscow and other places are actively preparing.
No matter how various theories of modern warfare develop, the most basic principles of warfare remain unchanged for thousands of years.
The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. When the main forces of the two sides are no more than a thousand meters apart, an early decisive battle is inevitable because there is no messenger between Dashanyan and Kuropatkin who can communicate with each other. They do not know their opponents at all.
How do you think about the problem?
Out of special concern for the Jiangjiayao Battle, both sides were constantly deploying their main forces for reinforcements. The Japanese army continued to increase the number of machine guns and artillery. The Japanese Second Army of the Manchuria Army, led by General Obo Gon, spared no effort in its tough attack.
Lieutenant General Korbas did not dare to retreat, and the two sides fought fiercely here.
In just six days, on the defense line less than two kilometers long, the cumulative troops invested by both sides exceeded 40,000, and the total number of machine guns exceeded 100. The number of machine guns of the Japanese army was also increasing rapidly. Every day, the Japanese army suppressed the enemy.
The firepower will be stronger.
Because a senior officer like Brigadier General Madnidorf was personally in charge of the command, Song Biao did not have to think too much. He could suddenly fight as a soldier on the battlefield, but his fighting method was more special.
After nearly a year apart, he finally picked up the SVD precision rifle he was most accustomed to. In order to prevent others, especially the Russian army, from having too much special interest in his rifle, he and his Type 03
Like the rifle, he was wrapped in a layer of burlap.
He hid alone in a pre-designed highland bunker, aimed at the non-commissioned officers and machine gunners of all levels in the Japanese army who appeared on the battlefield, and sniped them one after another.
He actually prefers this method of fighting, and it is more in line with his preferences.
He could silently crawl in the bunker, coldly aim at every suitable target of the Japanese army, and continuously eliminate the opponent with a probability of 1/2. In six days, he killed a total of 247 people, most of them were sergeants.
Characters such as squad leader, squadron leader and machine gunner also have higher levels. In short, as long as the military uniforms are special, they are within his sniper range. If he cannot find such a target, he will target the machine gunner and those who are forced to attack.
Gunners, or even ordinary soldiers.
He had to stop this one-sided massacre after almost all the R-type bullets in his hand were used up.
Although the Japanese army knew that the Russian army on the battlefield had very accurate sharpshooters, they could not find the location of the snipers on the noisy battlefield. There were so many places for Song Biao to hide, and he would change two of them almost every day.
three positions.
This feeling was exciting, but Song Biao had a hunch that this was his first time on the battlefield as a sniper, and it might be his last time. His responsibility was no longer a precision shooter in the army, he was a regiment commander.
He felt that he might have killed a major general of the Japanese army, but he was not sure because the distance was more than 700 meters. In fact, he was not very sure that he had really killed a major general.
The fifth division of the Japanese army is indeed the steel army of Japan. Their offensive momentum on the front line is extremely powerful and their combat level is indeed very high. However, in the face of the solid and complex fortification system built by Song Biao, the Russian army is doing its best to hold on.
In front of us, the casualties of the Fifth Division were extremely serious.
One of the main advantages of the Japanese army is that its soldiers are well-trained. All soldiers have undergone rigorous training, while the Russian soldiers are basically improvised. The gap between the two sides in terms of combat level and shooting ability is obvious, especially in the first battle.
When the Fifth Division advanced the front line to less than 300 meters away from the first position of Jiangjiayao, the Japanese army's shooting advantage gradually came into play, and the Russian army's damage also began to increase sharply.
When the follow-up reserve team failed to reach the front line, Zhao Tingzhu's First Infantry Battalion finally pushed to the front line and fought the Japanese army head-on. In order to reduce casualties as much as possible, Song Biao's countermeasure was to break up the entire battalion and replenish it according to the squad's organization.
Go to the various regiments of the Second Infantry Regiment in Seudinsk and make full use of the Russian army's own combat effectiveness to compete with the Japanese army.
February 21, 1905, the eighteenth day of the first lunar month in the Chinese lunar calendar, last night was a rare full moon night, but we encountered a very rare total lunar eclipse. The short red moon made people feel heart palpitating.
In the early hours of the morning, the Japanese army organized two regiments to carry out their tried-and-tested night offensive. Faced with two strong attacks by more than 6,000 people, Song Biao decisively defended his reputation as a "butcher" and used his Manchurian rifle to
The spears of the corps and engineering brigade counterattacked, killing the Japanese soldiers into rivers of blood, and leaving no one left at the front of the position.
When he and Madnidorf explained the Japanese night offensive, they classicly used the term "pig attack tactics," and Madnidorf immediately gave him the nickname "The Butcher."
Although this nickname is not elegant and does not fit the image and temperament of Song Biao, a special literary young man, it is truly worthy of the name. Almost all the Russian army's countermeasures against this tactic were created by him.
Booby traps, machine guns, shotguns, Cossack spears and flares were Song Biao's complete set of methods.
At dawn, when the sun shines on the front of the position, the one-kilometer-long and three-hundred-meter-wide position is strewn with corpses of Japanese soldiers. The bright red blood has long solidified and frozen, dyeing patches of red frost crystals on the white snowfield.
It was rare for Song Biao to lie down on the trench in person, wearing the black felt cloak given to him by Brigadier General Mardenidoff. Li Dayun squatted next to him and dozed off. This guy didn't sleep last night, and he still held Song Biao in his arms.
The two rifles were packed in sheepskin bags.
Song Biao held his Type 03 rifle, aimed at the Japanese position, and continued to look for targets to shoot.
This extremely bloody and cruel Battle of Jiangjiayao has been going on for eleven days. The Japanese army has advanced its position to a place less than 300 meters away from the positions of the Russian army and the Manchurian Infantry Regiment. From then on, it was spent here and never again.
Unable to advance even half a step, the Russian army and Song Biao's Manchurian infantry regiment also suffered 7,400 casualties.
These days, Xue Changqing and Lao Jintou, who were in the rear, recruited some new soldiers, but they were only engaged in engineering and transportation brigade work, and were not rushed to the front line. More than half of Song Biao's two combat battalions suffered casualties.
Two days ago, the Japanese army tried to advance their position to a hundred meters at night. Song Biao was forced to organize a large-scale counterattack. Even though the Russian army rushed in front, his men suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, they were finally defeated.
The Japanese troops were repulsed.
This battle is already a real fierce battle. Observers from Britain, France, Germany and other countries are watching the battle in the nearby area. There is an American spectator group in Yujiayao. Fourteen American military officers are here to check the situation. Regarding this fierce battle,
Countries around the world are also paying close attention.
People also generally regard this battle as the outpost of the final decisive battle between Japan and Russia.
After eleven days of fierce fighting, the combat troops and reserves of the Japanese Fifth Division were completely damaged. The 11th Infantry Brigade and the 70th Infantry Regiment that were subsequently supplemented also lost more than half, especially the 11th Infantry Brigade.
, they were about to launch a night advance battle, but they were attacked head-on by Song Biao and Major Eske. In the early hours of this morning, a regiment of troops was mobilized to cooperate with the remnants of the Fifth Division to organize the final offensive, and as a result, everyone died.
The total casualties of the Japanese army are estimated to have exceeded 18,000. The Russian 1st and 2nd Seudinsk Infantry Regiments, the newly formed 3rd Far East Infantry Regiment and the subsequent 42 infantry companies, plus Song Biao's Manchurian Infantry
The regiment suffered a total of 9,400 casualties.
Generally speaking, even if the Russian army finally won, this was the most tragic victory.
Li Fugui brought a bowl of hot porridge from the logistics team in advance, along with a small bowl of pickled meat bean paste and two pickled steamed buns. He hurriedly brought them over and happily gave them to Song Biao.
Song Biao was concentrating on observing the movements of the Japanese army, and asked Li Fugui to wait first. The situation seemed a little different. What Song Biao saw in the scope was some very strange and abnormal actions. He felt that the Japanese army seemed to be retreating.
.
Sure enough, while retaining some of their forces in the rear, the large Japanese troops quietly moved to the rear positions. The Russian soldiers on the Jiangjiayao position seemed to be aware of this abnormal move.
Soon, Major Baron von Eske, with a bandage on his shoulder, hurriedly ran along the trench and asked Song Biao: "Are they going to run away?"
Song Biao was half-convinced and said, "That may be the case. Send someone to inform the brigadier general."
Major Baron von Eske reluctantly persuaded: "Shall we organize an attack directly? The combined strength of your troops and mine can completely make a surprise attack."
Song Biao refused without hesitation and said: "No, the Japanese army has kept many machine guns on the rear line. It will be very difficult to charge hard. You go to the brigadier general and ask the brigadier general to immediately notify the artillery regiment to attack the forward positions in an all-round way. They will fire three rounds. Let's
Then follow up and seize the Japanese position."
Major Baron von Eske now basically obeyed Song Biao's command. He immediately agreed, grabbed the messenger soldiers who came with him, and sent them out after giving a few instructions.
Although they still had to wait for Brigadier General Madnidorf's artillery regiment to fire a few rounds first, Song Biao started organizing first, and his losses were also severe. Fortunately, the Japanese rifles were not powerful enough, so the brothers were injured more and died less.
, the most important deaths were actually caused by Japanese machine guns and artillery.
The troops that Song Biao was able to organize were mainly Zhang Yahu's Second Infantry Battalion. In addition, he used two guard squadrons, plus the third infantry battalion that he reorganized by transferring brothers from the engineering battalion, and Zhao Tingzhu's first infantry battalion.
He is basically disabled and can no longer move for the time being.
