Chapter 250 Bloody Battle in Teng County 5 Today's Red
Chapter 250 Bloody Battle in Teng County 5 (Three updates today, please collect the red flowers!)
Therefore, the National Defense Forces Air Force uses night bombing, the Japanese aircraft cannot take off to intercept, and the accuracy of ground anti-aircraft artillery fire is also much worse. It should be the best tactical choice in this era.
"By the way, Colonel Xu, did General Wu say anything else?" Finally, Wang Mingzhang woke up from the silence. If Wu Aihua really has any ideas, being a coward will not solve the problem.
"General Wang, Commander-in-Chief Wu didn't say anything else. He just told us that the 122nd Division should send more weapons." Xu Jingye told the truth. Indeed, Wu Aihua made this request in the telegram.
"Oh, your Commander Wu knows about me?" Wang Mingzhang was a little surprised. Before that, Wang Mingzhang had no contact with the National Defense Forces at all.
"Our Commander Wu said that General Wang of the 122nd Division is a patriotic soldier!" Xu Jingye said.
"Thank you, Commander Wu. I, Wang Mingzhang, am worthy of the title of patriotic soldier!" Wang Mingzhang said with some emotion. Perhaps, this general who may have died on the battlefield remembered the days of the Sichuan Army's previous civil war.
"By the way, General Wang, there is something I don't know whether to say or not?" Xu Jingye thought for a few times, but finally thought it would be good to "point out" Wang Mingzhang.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Wang Mingzhang thought in his heart, "What was supposed to come has finally come!" The good impression he had for the National Defense Force suddenly disappeared.
"General Wang, we arrived at Teng County City at dusk and watched your battle from a distance. I think the 122nd Division can fight better with the current equipment!"
"Haha, tell me, how do you think this battle should be fought?" Wang Mingzhang felt relieved. Others had sent so many hard blows, even if the other party was two ranks lower than his own, let him "give guidance"
That's what it should be.
"General Wang, these are some of my thoughts on the defense of Teng County. You can refer to it." Xu Jingye didn't say anything, but directly took out a piece of paper.
…
The 2nd and 3rd Brigades of the Lightning Force were ordered to go deep into the Xuzhou Theater to collect Japanese intelligence. The 2nd Brigade was specially assigned to Deng Xihou's 22nd Group Army, while the 3rd Brigade was distributed in the vast area around Taierzhuang.
In terms of supplies, only certain assistance was provided to the 22nd Army. As for other units, Wu Aihua did not consider that much. It is not that Wu Aihua is stingy, but that the national army is too powerful and does not conform to the overall interests of the National Defense Forces.
It is not in the interest of the Chinese nation.
You can imagine: If the Nationalist Army finally wins the Battle of Xuzhou, Chiang Kai-shek's already shaky position will be re-consolidated. However, history has proven that Chiang Kai-shek or the Kuomintang will not be able to make the Chinese nation more powerful in the next ten or twenty years.
Nirvana and rebirth.
Xu Jingye did not stay in the 122nd Division for long. After handing over the weapons and equipment, he led his team members out of Tengxian County. A brigade of nearly 200 people was divided into four and entered the vast night.
That night, the commander of the 122nd Division Wang Mingzhang slept very late, because after Xu Jingye said goodbye, he carefully studied the piece of paper Xu Jingye gave him. Xu Jingye wrote not much on the piece of paper, only three items,
But it is the essence of modern warfare.
The first article is about heavy firepower in the front and light in the rear, and the strength of troops is light in the front and heavy at the back; the second article is the use and matching of light and heavy artillery; the third article is how to use combat anti-artillery to destroy Japanese tanks. Some thoughts are written after each article
Instructions, as well as usage and training methods.
After looking at it, Wang Mingzhang felt that these contents were very profound. He immediately asked his adjutant to find the brigade commanders and regimental commanders to study together. In the middle of the study, someone suggested that the company commanders who were going to play tomorrow should also be called together.
Research and discuss.
In the history of the Chinese military, this may be the first tactical seminar where division commanders and company commanders sit together.
At about 2 or 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, Wang Mingzhang was just about to get on the camp bed and sleep for a while, when he suddenly heard an earth-shattering sound erupting from the direction of the Japanese army's position.
"What's going on?" Wang Mingzhang opened the door and asked the guard at the door.
"Master, we just heard a buzzing sound in the sky, and then we heard an explosion coming from the direction of the Japanese army. We don't know the specific situation," the guard explained.
"Buzzing noise?" Wang Mingzhang thought to himself, "Could it be the National Army's air force dispatched?" But he immediately denied this conclusion, "Maybe it was the National Defense Force's aircraft conducting night air strikes against the Japanese army."
Regarding the necessary support that the National Defense Forces Air Force will give to the Xuzhou Battle, the theater commander has communicated this to officers above the division level, but has not communicated it further. Firstly, due to the need for confidentiality, and secondly, it is not known how big the National Defense Forces Air Force can be.
function.
"Let's go out and have a look." Wang Mingzhang thought for a while and led a few guards towards a pagoda in Teng County. The pagoda is about twenty meters high. Standing on it, you can see a lot of things.
Far away.
The sound of explosions continued. Wang Mingzhang, who was walking on the road, heard the hum of aircraft engines and the screams of bombers as they dived because they were in an open field.
"You have to endure this little devil!" Wang Mingzhang, who climbed up the pagoda, muttered in his heart when he saw the flashes of fire from time to time more than ten kilometers away and the sound that came only dozens of seconds later.
The bombing lasted for at least half an hour. Wang Mingzhang kept looking in the direction of the Japanese army and watching the firelight. Until there were no more flashes of light and the buzzing seemed to be fading away, he silently walked down the pagoda and went back to his room to sleep.
Went.
This time to bomb the Japanese troops in southern Shandong, almost all the air force from the northern base of the National Defense Forces was dispatched. A total of 96 "Screaming Dragon 1" dive bombers from two groups, 48 "Yinglong 1" fighters from one group and 48 "Yinglong 1" fighters from one group were dispatched.
Among the "Fire Dragon 1" ground attack aircraft, there is only one fighter brigade and one reconnaissance squadron left on duty at the northern base Caijiayu Airport.
During this bombing, the Air Force of the National Defense Force did not engage in egalitarianism, but used all its power to bomb the baggage, artillery and tank units of the 20th Division. However, because the commander of the Japanese 20th Division Fumiyamaro Kawagishi decided to carry out the bombing the next day
In order to carry out a comprehensive attack on the national army positions in the morning, he dispersed the 20th tank regiment in several directions after darkness fell, thus greatly reducing the effect of bombing the tank regiment and only bombing a dozen defective tanks.
car.
This was also the first time that the Lightning Force made an intelligence error during frontline reconnaissance.
However, the Japanese Army's Baggage Regiment and the 26th Field Artillery Regiment suffered heavy losses. The former's supplies were completely destroyed, while the latter's basically lost the ability to fight again. They had to wait for Commander Kozuki Kiyoshi of the 1st Army to replenish them.
.
However, the Japanese army has not lost its offensive capabilities! Because each regiment of the Japanese army has a direct artillery brigade, and at the same time, each regiment also received 8 new Japanese-produced Type 95 light tanks; while each regiment is in combat
China had to carry three days of rations as a rule. The bombing by the Wehrmacht Air Force only caused Japan to lose one field artillery unit.
Moreover, the First Army Headquarters and the 108th Division have arrived in the Yanzhou and Zoucheng areas, only one day's journey from Teng County.
February 18, 1938, 6 a.m. outside Teng County.
Several soldiers on the night shift of the National Army were holding their guns and leaning against the trench, almost falling asleep.
"Rumble, rumble..." At this moment, a strange motor sound suddenly came from the front of the position.
A soldier opened his eyes, rubbed them with his hands, and looked in the direction of the sound. What caught his eye were several big dark vehicles, quietly driving towards the position, and those few people
Behind the soldier were hundreds of Japs holding guns. The soldier was startled and immediately shouted: "The Japs are coming -"
"Boom -" A ball of fire suddenly erupted from a chariot! There was no need for him to shout to the police. The enemy was in full swing at this time and did not even bother to make a sneak attack.
"Quick, take cover!" the platoon leader who stayed behind on the position shouted immediately.
"Quick, prepare combat artillery and mortars!" Another group of artillerymen knew their mission was coming.
"Inform the mountain artillery battalion that the Japanese have arrived!" the position commander shouted to a correspondent.
The performance of the 122nd Division today is much better than yesterday, because the artillery finally went to the front line. The brothers of the Sichuan Army will never use Hanyang to fight tanks again.
In addition to the machine guns of the original company, this platoon on the position also has 6 submachine guns. These 6 submachine guns are more effective than machine guns at a distance of less than 100 meters.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The Japanese tanks rushed towards Teng County while ###. Although Colonel Suzuki Kenji's 80th Regiment was assigned 8 Type 95 tanks, in this attack, he
Only 4 tanks were allowed to charge forward.
Tanks are still afraid of artillery. Although the Chinese army did not use artillery when the Imperial Japanese Army attacked yesterday, it is said that there is a division of Chinese troops guarding Tengxian City. How can a division not have artillery!
In fact, by using tanks to attack, Suzuki Kenji also ran the risk of the tanks being destroyed by artillery; however, if tanks were not used, the sacrifices of the imperial soldiers would remain high. This was a dilemma!
In the trenches of the National Army, there were already several pairs of eyes staring at the Japanese tanks. They were the 37th anti-tank artillery gunners who were temporarily selected last night. They just waited for the Japanese tanks to get closer, and even closer, they would use anti-tank guns without hesitation.
Boom the devils.
"Rumble, rumble..."
"Boom...boom..."
The Japanese chariot looks a bit showy and majestic.
"Fire! Boom..." Just when the Japanese tank entered about 300 meters in front of the National Army position, four anti-tank guns on the National Army battlefield fired at the Japanese tank at the same time.
Ahead, a Japanese chariot suddenly stopped and burst into flames.
"Hit, hit!" the artilleryman shouted happily.
However, the faces of the other gunners were dark because they were not firing.
"Prepare -" The officer commanding the battle defense artillery was relatively experienced. He knew that it was remarkable that one of the four cannons could hit the Japanese. This was because the artillerymen under him had never undergone formal training. Before this,
They had only touched cannons or occasionally fired cannonballs. As for the accuracy of cannonballs or artillery tactics, they didn't even think about it.
Just when the National Army artillery soldiers were either happy or frustrated, and the National Army artillery commander ordered the artillerymen to prepare to fire the second shot, the remaining three tanks of the Japanese began to counterattack against the positions of the four anti-tank guns!
"Boom, boom, boom--" Three artillery blasts rang out, and the two national army anti-tank guns were suddenly shrouded in smoke. Obviously, the Japanese also had a tank whose artillery fire level was no more than this.
