On the long 160-kilometer front, the Japanese army with high morale is launching a fierce all-out offensive against the Russian army. The five Japanese armies from west to east are the third, first, second, fourth, and fifth.
The Russian Army and the Fifth Army attacked the Russian First Army, while the First Army, the Second Army, and the Fourth Army almost all attacked the right flank of the Russian Second Army and the First Army guarding the Shahe area.
Song Biao, Kuropatkin, and other senior Russian staff officers unanimously judged that the main direction of the Japanese attack must be the Second Army on the Russian right. Song Biao also conclusively judged that if the Japanese launched an offensive on the front and left in advance,
, its real main attack direction must be the Second Army.
Even so, despite the fierce Japanese attack and General Mishuchenko's continuous requests for reinforcements, Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin still sent the Fourth Army as a reserve force to the frontal battlefield to reinforce the Second Army.
Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin has begun to pay a heavy price for his hesitation. Although the defense line of the First Army has been shrunk, the defense lines of the Second Army and the Third Army are still too wide, especially the Second Army, which has benefited
Due to the great victory in the Heigootai battle, the Second Army still controlled the Heigootai area and separated the Japanese right and center wings, but it also suffered attacks from the Japanese left and center wings.
After Kuropatkin deployed the reserve army to the battlefield, Oyamayan immediately turned the attack of the First Army to the Second Army, and at the same time asked Nori Kimonori's Third Army to bypass Heigodai and attack the Second Army.
flank.
The deployment of troops does not represent the real direction of the main attack. The reason why Dashanyan did not change his tactics because of the naval victory was precisely because he concentrated his main machine guns and artillery on the first and third armies in order to defeat them.
The Russian Second Army successfully broke through the Russian right-wing defense line. It detoured and occupied Tieling and other places to achieve an outflank of the entire Russian army. It cut off the railway lines on which the Russian army relied for survival.
By May 30, in just three days, the Russian Second Army suffered successive heavy losses and was forced to abandon the Shendanbao defense line and retreat across the board.
As a compensatory measure, Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin could only push out the fifth army, the last reserve force, and tried to attack the right wing of Shimononori's third army, hoping to force Shimononori to retreat.
…
Song Biao had no way of knowing all this. He stayed away from the frontline battlefield and hid in the enemy's rear line.
Behind him was the 1st Far East Infantry Regiment. In the dark night, more than 3,000 soldiers had already attached their bayonets, and there was a cold light shining in the night.
Song Biao had been preparing for this for too long. Dashanyan's idea of waiting for the decisive battle of the Japanese navy before launching the decisive battle of the army helped him a lot and gave him enough time to train his troops.
Unlike the Japanese army, Song Biao made more changes to the same night bayonet offensive tactics, rationally arranged shotguns and Cossack spears, and conducted a large number of night drills.
In order to eliminate the headquarters of the Japanese Fifth Army as quickly as possible, Song Biao would lead his troops to attack the two Seudinsk infantry regiments at the same time, concentrating a total of more than 10,000 troops from the three infantry regiments to launch a truly largest battle in history.
A large-scale bayonet offensive, a decisive victory, destroying the opponent's first reserve brigade and headquarters.
Kornilov was holding a shotgun and was about twenty steps away from Song Biao.
In this late night, they couldn't see each other at all.
The confirmed time was still an hour away from 1 am. Song Biao raised his hand slightly, and the communication soldiers behind him immediately spread out to deliver the message. The troops began to follow Song Biao and groped forward along the hidden ravine in front of them.
In front were Li Fugui and the others, who were more familiar with the environment in this dense forest.
Everyone continued to divide into four teams and advance in turn, each company being one hundred meters apart. Each company was in a row of three people, advancing in an orderly manner according to the method of many previous drills and training.
Without Song Biao's rigorous and meticulous night training, it is questionable whether such a large force could effectively and silently arrive at Lishugou.
In the darkness, Song Biao held a Zero-3 rifle and secretly groped forward under the protection of Li Dayun and others.
It was not until the front was less than 300 meters away from a Japanese brigade camp that the entire army hid in the mountain forest and waited quietly for the last moment to arrive. Because it was located in the rear defense position, the Japanese army did not set up strict defenses.
A normal security setting is set up with tight barbed wire and fences outside the military camp to prevent others from entering the camp, and there are multiple sentries standing on the surrounding sentry towers.
Song Biao took the lead and led Li Fugui's reconnaissance company forward for more than 200 steps to further observe the enemy camp.
This kind of thing might be smoother if Chen Wu's group was involved, but after this period of training, Song Biao believed that his division-directed reconnaissance company and the 1st Far East Infantry Regiment could also effectively complete this task.
The series of missions still used a secret attack mode. Song Biao stopped in the southwest corner of the camp. The four infantry companies behind him were divided into two teams, facing the west gate and south gate of the camp. This was the final assault point.
This kind of night attack for the camp area is obviously different from the assault on the enemy's trench position. The troops must have a certain heavy firepower arrangement. This is very obvious in the Shendan Fort attack battle.
Song Biao was responsible for capturing this camp, while Esk was responsible for attacking the opponent's headquarters. However, there was a period of time between the two, because the artillery regiment would follow the previous observation data to conduct intensive artillery attacks on the enemy's headquarters. Chen Wu and Siberia
The infantry regiment must attack the Japanese artillery positions at the same time and cannot allow the Japanese artillery to return fire, even if the hit rate of such a return fire is very low.
As time passed by, each unit had completed its deployment and was approaching the local camp less than 200 meters away. Some of the vanguard troops further explored the area close to the barbed wire fence and were responsible for taking the lead in destroying the enemy's barbed wire fence and fence.
At this moment, Song Biao aimed at the sentry closest to him, thinking that this might be the last battle he needed to charge forward. From then on, what he needed to consider would not be victory in a battle, but victory in a battle.
It is the mobilization and adjustment of the entire army.
He stared at the opponent in the scope indifferently, waiting for the time to approach.
Li Dayun was watching the time for him from behind and reporting other news. After waiting for a few minutes, Li Dayun suddenly reminded: "Master, there are still three minutes."
Song Biao asked: "Are you sure?"
Li Dayun said: "I'm sure. Your watch can't be wrong. It has luminous light, so you can see it clearly."
Song Biao snorted and re-observed the sentries in other positions and the situation in the entire camp for the last time. The signal soldiers from each company quickly came back to report that each company was ready and waiting for the final attack order.
When there was only one minute left, Song Biao finally aimed at the sentry again, with a trace of sweat quietly seeping from his hands. Killing a Japanese soldier was nothing. But after his shot, he designed a set of powerful night attacks
It will explode suddenly.
In the entire Russo-Japanese War, this will probably be the most classic night attack because its scale is too large.
Da da da…….
"Thirty seconds left... Master!"
Li Dayun almost didn't finish speaking.
Song Biao had already pulled the trigger, and the bullet flew out at an instantaneous speed, leaving the woods with a soft pop. In just an instant, the Japanese sentry was shot in the chest, and he collapsed in the tower sentry.
.
That's a good feeling.
Song Biao instantly aimed his gun at another point. The time was very short. He locked the target immediately with his experience and intuition. Due to the lack of precise aiming, the shooting distance was relatively long. He fired two shots in succession, one shot hitting the opponent's shoulder, and the other shot.
It only took one shot to hit the opponent's chest.
After another turn, he did not lock on to the sentry on the southeast side in the shortest instant, but fortunately the opponent was in the light of the lights. This was also the reason why Song Biao set the opponent as his final target.
Bang.
A soft, slightly muddy gunshot rang out in the woods, and the third sentry fell to the ground.
This is Song Biao's ultimate shooting level, and it is the best start and help for the troops.
When the time came, more than two companies of soldiers rushed out first. According to the experience and requirements of the exercise, they rushed all the way to the opponent's barbed wire fence. Several assault squads ambush in front destroyed the barbed wire fence and other obstacles at the first time.
Hundreds of soldiers began to rush forward.
The benefit of actual combat exercises is to increase experience, and experience is the most valuable asset for soldiers.
After this month of targeted training, Song Biao had raised all the soldiers in his hands to a higher level in a certain field. What happened to the Russian soldiers? Although they were almost all illiterate like the Chinese at this time, they were all
Even though I am from a peasant background, I can still improve as long as I have proper training.
Aren't the soldiers of the Soviet Red Army all illiterate? They are the same in all four fields and two fields.
After the previous task force approached the enemy camp, they quickly set up dozens of ladders, and the follow-up troops began to scale the outer earth walls of the camp on a large scale. In fact, as long as these low earth walls have undergone rigorous training, they can
You can climb up by turning over without the help of any other tools, but with the ladder, the troops can rush in quickly.
At the gates of the two camps, the two advance platoons set up machine guns and mortars at the same time, and piled up defensive walls with prepared sandbags. The follow-up troops continued to cross and advance under the cover of the advance platoons.
Before the Japanese army could barely react, the 1st Far East Infantry Regiment had already occupied the perimeter of the camp, and two special attack companies followed Li Fugui's reconnaissance company and rushed up the earthen wall. The noisy footsteps only alerted the Japanese patrols.
Bang.
Suddenly in the middle of the night, someone fired a cold shot and sounded the alarm.
At this moment, almost all the infantrymen with guns put their rifles forward, looking for cover, and fired back at the opponent. The machine guns were directly mounted on the earthen walls of the enemy camp, aiming condescendingly at the entire camp.
Only then did Song Biao and Major Kornilov establish their regiment headquarters and let the signal troops go around to check the situation. The subordinate captains and lieutenants each led their troops into battle in person, and continued to seize advantageous locations in accordance with tactical regulations.
The sound of gunshots and mortar bombings rang out from Qianxiaoyu and Houxiaoyu 1.5 kilometers away, one after another. The sound of machine gun fire was even more distinct in this late night.
According to German army standards, the military command post is located at a standard distance of 750 meters in front. Intensive gunfire also rang out in the guard camp to the south of the military command post.
As if overnight, tens of thousands of troops rushed towards the entire rear defense position.
that's the truth.
Time was so short that in the forward camp, the Japanese army had already begun to organize a hasty counterattack. First, they fired machine guns from outside to annihilate groups of Japanese troops. After approaching at close range, they were assassinated by Cossack spears and bombarded by shotguns.
Suddenly there was a sharp sound in the sky, and several artillery shells streaked across the sky, approaching and falling into the enemy's command post in an instant.
Although they were far apart, the explosions and flashes that erupted at the moment when the shells fell were enough for Song Biao to confirm that the artillery fire was extremely accurate, and he was worthy of Andrei Valjerisevich Pakhi.
Lieutenant Colonel Love, although it was at night and lacked sufficient optical aiming assistance, he was still able to accurately hit the Japanese command post by relying on the distance marked on the map.
This is only the first round of test firing. As the frontline commander, Major Baron von Eske will send someone to notify the artillery regiment as soon as possible to confirm the accuracy of the artillery firing so that each artillery company can readjust the coverage and area.
The headquarters of the Fifth Army of the Japanese Manchuria Army and the First Reserve Brigade were completely stunned at this time. They did not expect this to be the case.
War requires luck. Unfortunately, the goddess of luck no longer favors the Japanese army. She rarely favored Song Biao and the Russians once, allowing them to secretly explore the Japanese rear defense positions through hard work and luck.
This was indeed the last time Song Biao led an attack, even half of it. He did not continue to charge at the front like a sergeant or a frontline lieutenant. He was now the commander of the entire Manchurian Infantry Division.
It's not that he isn't brave and good at fighting, it's not that he doesn't want to be at the forefront and kill the enemy with bullets one by one, but it's because his responsibilities as a division commander and infantry colonel are more important.
In this temporary command center, he has a company of scouts and more than 60 correspondents at his disposal. There are also more than a dozen staff officers nearby who are constantly sorting out various intelligence. Most of them are Russian staff officers. The only Chinese staff officers are Jiang Fangzhen and
There are two people in Shufangde, and Major Tuignier serves as the first staff adjutant.
Information from all aspects was quickly fed back, first of all, the information about artillery firing fed back by Major Baron von Eske, which accurately hit the enemy's military command post. He had already surrounded the enemy's military headquarters and built a line around the periphery.
Blockade, before that, they tried to eliminate the infantry brigade at the enemy's outpost with hand-to-hand combat at night. They made some mistakes that caused the opponent to react faster, but they still relied on more shotguns and four machine guns to tear the opponent apart.
counterattack and seized the most advantageous high point.
Since the Japanese reserve 1st Brigade was in a dispersed defense state, the opponent was unable to effectively counterattack, and the protection around the Japanese military command post was obviously insufficient.
As for Chen Wu and the 4th and 5th Siberian Infantry Regiments, they have relied on their numerical advantage and strict night bayonet attack formation to break through the defensive position of the Japanese infantry regiment at once. The vast majority of Japanese soldiers were on the first line
Three of Bo's regiments were killed in a storming attack.
Chen Wu led a battalion to raid the opponent's artillery position first, but it has not yet been captured. However, in terms of follow-up, the 4th Infantry Regiment of Siberia has begun to step forward to provide support. The report concluded that there is not a big problem.
Almost without thinking too much, Song Biao immediately ordered to mobilize Zhang Yahu's 2nd Manchurian Infantry Regiment, first send two companies to assist the Sezhangdinsk Infantry Regiment, give priority to destroying the opponent's infantry brigade in the Mid-Levels Ridge, and then send out the Engineer Regiment.
A battalion helps set up a defense line outside the command post, mainly relying on artillery fire to attack the opponent's command post, while the infantry is responsible for preventing the opponent from coming to rescue.
The two sides were engaged in a fierce battle on a mountain line. To be precise, one side was attacking violently and quickly, while the other side had no idea what was going on.!~!
