Chapter 165 Anti-Japanese War Heroes PK Japanese Steel Army
(This story is purely fictional, please do not imitate it!)
Finally, the national army battalion commander felt that it was unethical to just leave without even saying hello, so he turned around and came back with a squad of soldiers.
What caught the eye of the battalion commander of the Chinese army was the warriors of the 9th Cavalry Division who were replenishing the rifles of the Japanese cavalry. What's more, they took out their sabers and cut off the heads of the Japanese soldiers one by one, leaving them in a small open space. Stacked up "Jingguan".
"Too cruel!" Seeing this scene, the national army battalion commander began to doubt the meaning of his greeting back.
"Brothers, retreat quickly. The Japanese will arrive here in half an hour!" Mu Lianqiang, the commander of the cavalry company, greeted him when he saw a national army battalion commander standing dozens of meters away, unable to advance or retreat.
"Brother, which part do you belong to?" The national army battalion commander finally chose to ask. Now that he is here, it is really unreasonable to not even know who the other party belongs to. Besides, there is another question for Shangfeng to answer. .
"We are the 1st Company, 1st Battalion, 9th Cavalry Division, my name is Mu Lianqiang."
"The 9th Cavalry Division turns out to be brothers of the 29th Army!" the battalion commander said with emotion. Who said that local miscellaneous troops can't fight well? In his opinion, the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the 9th Cavalry Division are at least better than many national army troops. sharp.
"Haha, brother, you misunderstood. We are not from the 29th Army. We are the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the 9th Cavalry Division directly under the National Defense Forces." Mu Lianqiang puffed up his chest as he spoke.
Mu Lianqiang was a platoon commander of the former 9th Cavalry Division who was rescued by the 3rd and 4th Regiments of the National Defense Forces Instruction Division. Now he was naturally promoted to company commander, and unknowingly annihilated the Japanese. A cavalry regiment.
"Mother company commander, I found the Japanese regiment flag!" A cavalryman rode over.
"Okay. The teacher said that finding the Japs' flag is at least equivalent to killing 20 Japs. Boy, here you go!"
"Company commander, this is the joint contribution of you and all the soldiers in the company. I don't dare to take credit!" The soldier consciously handed over the Japanese regiment flag to the company commander, then rode his horse to replenish the Japanese guns.
This scene also fell into the eyes of the national army battalion commander. He shook his head, sighed in his heart, and left with the soldiers with some unfinished feelings.
The loss of Xuanhua was a non-war crime. The national army battalion commander was not worried about being punished by the army commander or division commander, because in Commander Tang's established strategy, Xuanhua was just an outpost. When the Japanese came up, his battalion was ruthlessly attacked. They hit the Japanese hard several times and killed at least twenty of them. It was not until the Japanese shells fell on the position that they decided to retreat.
However, what the national army battalion commander did not expect was that the Japanese had left behind a cavalry regiment. If it were not for the company of the 9th Cavalry Division of the National Defense Force, all the soldiers in the battalion might have been killed in the Japanese cavalry attack. under the saber.
The achievements of this cavalry must be reported to their superiors, and they should express their gratitude to the National Defense Forces through certain connections. The battalion commander of the National Army thought as he walked.
……#……
In a dense forest near Xinzhuangzi, Chen Shihao, commander of the 9th Cavalry Division of the National Defense Force, and his party were staring closely at the railway in the distance.
When the Japanese army attacked Xuanhua, they used armored vehicles to clear the way and transported the troops by train, so they advanced very quickly. Chen Shihao's mission was not to wait here to annihilate the enemy troops, but the mission given to him by Commander Wu: to monitor the enemy police. The movements of Hal's dispatched corps will be reported to the advance detachment of the National Defense Forces at any time.
At this time, two hours had passed since the enemy's 2nd Cavalry Regiment was annihilated. Three trains of military vehicles had already passed by on the railway line. Based on the number of Japanese troops per carriage and one squadron, almost two Japanese brigades had passed by.
For each military train, Wu Aihua asked Chen Shihao to report: How many carriages are there in the train and what items are serially carried, especially artillery and the like, they must be counted clearly.
Of course, Chen Shihao would complete the task seriously. He was thinking about what big move Commander Wu might take to deal with the Japanese, but Chen Shihao had no idea what Wu Aihua was going to do.
"Commander, how about we go lay a few mines on the railway and blow up the Japanese troops!" Xie Jingquan, commander of the 1st Battalion, felt a little bored and added.
"Exploded? If the general's column exploded and affected the commander's plan, would you be responsible?" Chen Shihao also developed a bad habit not long after joining the National Defense Forces, that is, he was particularly superstitious about Wu Aihua.
It’s impossible not to be superstitious! Wu Aihua is simply a dragon and a phoenix among people, the idol of soldiers. Chen Shihao thinks he speaks Japanese well, but in front of Commander Wu, he is like a primary school student talking in front of a professor. Primary school students are so naive, and
Every word the professor said was so profound.
"Since it's the commander's arrangement, let's forget it." Xie Jingquan was also very conscious. In fact, he just felt bored staying in the woods and wanted to find something to do. The annihilation battle a few hours ago made him
The boy from Mu Lianqiang has been in the limelight enough, but nothing happened to the battalion commander.
When the Japanese army was rumbling toward Huailai on a train, the battle at Chongwenmen in Peiping had already entered a fever pitch.
Defending the city in Peiping are the Zhao Dengyu Department of the 132nd Division of the 29th Army, the Feng Public Security Department of the 27th Division, and four security regiments. As for the Zhang Zizhong Department of the 38th Division, because the battle in Tianjin was too bitter, its remnants have retreated to the Cangzhou area for repairs;
Liu Ruming's 143rd Division also withdrew to Datong, Shanxi due to its defeat in Zhangjiakou, and formed a strong force with the Sun Chu Department of the 33rd Army and the Yang Aiyuan Department of the 34th Army.
In the battle for Chongwenmen, the Chinese were responsible for the defense of more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the 277th Brigade and the 568th Regiment of the 132nd Division Zhao Dengyu, in addition to the mountain artillery regiment directly under the 29th Army; the Japanese were responsible for the attack, but the 9th Brigade of the 5th Division of Seishiro Sakagaki
Tetsujiro Yamada of the 41st Regiment, and Kaoru Takeda of the 5th Artillery Regiment.
The Japanese field artillery wing was equipped with 36 field guns and 12 120mm howitzers, which was no different from that in history; but his army wing turned the original artillery squadron and rapid-fire gun squadron into an artillery brigade, with 4
Field artillery, 4 70mm infantry guns and 4 37mm rapid-fire guns.
Judging from the heavy firepower of both China and Japan, the entire possessions of the defenders are only one artillery regiment and one artillery battalion, with a maximum caliber of 75mm mountain artillery (field artillery), while the Japanese army has 12 120mm howitzers and other artillery of various calibers
It can be said that the Japanese army's artillery is equipped with various calibers, with long and short ranges, and a very reasonable combination of ballistic curves. In addition to the 75 mountain cannon, the Chinese army is equipped with some 20mm caliber rapid-fire cannons.
The heavy firepower of the National Army was over once it was launched, and supplies were not easy. However, due to the long strategic preparation time, the Japanese Army had a large amount of equipment, including tanks, in Tianjin. As long as there was battle damage, it could be replenished.
The divisions of the Japanese army cooperated well and supported each other effectively; while the various departments of the national army were not under each other's control, making it difficult to form a joint force.
In addition, the Chinese air force was basically deployed in the south and was unable to support the Peiping operations; while the Japanese aircraft could take off at any time to support forward operations.
The 132nd Division was the heroic unit of the Great Wall War, and Seishiro Sakagaki's 5th Division was the so-called "Steel Army" of the Japanese army in history. When these two troops with the same tough style met, there were fierce sparks from the beginning.
At the beginning of the battle, the Japanese army carried out artillery strikes as usual! However, the Chinese army's tactics were still the old-fashioned arrangement of heavy troops in the front and light in the back, and heavy firepower in the front and heavy in the rear. Therefore, the Japanese artillery fired five consecutive rounds, and a company on the Chongwenmen position was destroyed.
More than half were lost, and the ability to fight again was basically lost!
However, as long as the Chinese soldiers who could still shoot were unwilling to go down the city wall, Xiang Huiwu, the leader of the 568th Regiment, had to quickly add a platoon to the city wall as soon as the Japanese artillery fire ended.
After the artillery bombardment, the Japanese army began to launch an infantry charge! A squadron of Japanese soldiers rushed towards Chongwen Gate with guns in hand, roaring, and the only three heavy machine guns on the national army wall began to shoot at the Japanese army. But at this time,
It showed that the training of the Japanese army was very effective. As soon as the heavy machine gun fired, the Japanese army quickly found cover and lay down, and at the same time fired back at the city wall.
"Boom -" The cunning Japanese grenadier suddenly fired a grenade at the Chinese machine gun position on the city wall, and accurately hit one of the machine guns.
Then, the two sides came and went, and the sound of gunfire continued. The Japanese army took the opportunity to move the rapid-fire artillery position forward, and unknowingly the Japanese army had the ability to directly attack the city gate.
"Bang bang bang bang..." Seeing the Japanese artillery position built under his nose, the Chinese army's small-caliber artillery opened fire quickly from a high position. The first round of attack was effective, and a 37-mm rapid-fire gun was blown into the air.
And rise.
However, the Chinese artillery seemed to have forgotten the grenade combat team that the Japanese army assigned to each squad (two units per squad). As soon as the small artillery of the National Army established its merits, it was immediately bombarded by the grenade.
"Boom, boom, boom--" With the explosion of grenades, the only small artillery unit of the national army lasted only more than ten minutes before being destroyed by the Japanese army.
"Top, machine guns, top!" The leader of the 568th Regiment ordered the heavy machine gun company directly under the regiment to Huiwu to immediately enter the city wall position. Strictly speaking, since Wu Aihua crossed over, the equipment of the national army has been greatly improved, not only
Only the division-level troops have added 75mm mountain guns, and the firepower configuration of ordinary soldiers has also been greatly improved. At least, in no-name troops like the 29th Army, each platoon has 1-2 light machine guns.
, each company also has 3-4 heavy machine guns. In terms of light firepower, it is only slightly weaker than the Japanese army.
However, although the national army commanders are full of enthusiasm, their tactical thinking and command ability are lackluster. If they can bring the Japanese army closer, such as entering the range of the light machine gun, or even within the throwing distance of grenades and then fighting back, the Japanese army's
The advantage will no longer exist, because no matter what, the defending side always has the advantage of favorable terrain.
As a result, the Japanese army began to fight back as soon as they entered the range of the heavy machine guns, which left most of the firepower of the Chinese army idle. Once the Japanese army launched an artillery attack, these anxious soldiers on the battlefield would become the target of artillery bombardment.
The addition of a heavy machine gun company with 12 heavy machine guns immediately suppressed the power of the Japanese grenade launchers. At the same time, the Japanese soldiers hiding in the wild could no longer hide and were beaten back by the heavy machine guns and fled.
