Chapter 278 The Battle for Yang Temple 5 Seeking Red
Chapter 278 Battle for Yang Temple 5 (Please give me red flowers!)
"As of 9 a.m., about 970 Japanese soldiers were killed and about 490 Japanese soldiers were injured; 129 of our soldiers died, 136 were seriously injured, and 213 were slightly injured. The death ratio was 1:7.5; the casualty ratio was 1:3.
Brother Tingzhen, this battle can continue like this!" Zhang Tongqing said happily.
"Okay, okay, okay! However, we still have to guard against the Japanese jumping over the wall." Huang Tingzhen was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of straw ropes for ten years, but what he said made sense.
"If the Japanese want to bite us back, there are only two moves left: one is to use his 3rd tank regiment; the other is to use the field artillery regiment on Gushan! In addition to these two moves,
The only trick is to use the Thirty-six Stratagems!" Zhang Tongqing said confidently.
"Hahaha, well said!" Huang Tingzhen wiped away his caution.
Susumu Fujita himself also understood that facing the expendable tactics of the National Defense Forces, he only had these two moves left. In addition, he also had a hidden move, but this move was too easy to use, which was to use poison gas bombs against the Defense Forces.
However, the senior management of the base camp clearly stipulated that the use of special ammunition must be reported to the base camp for approval.
Even Wu Aihua's "Fengqing Bureau" didn't know about this regulation of the Japanese army.
The Japanese army in history did not have this rule. China in that time and space was too weak and they could do whatever they wanted. However, the top Japanese officials in parallel time and space had to be much more careful. Because judging from the various advanced weapons possessed by the National Defense Forces, the special capabilities of the National Defense Forces
The ammunition may be more abundant and powerful than that of the Japanese army, so the Japanese army did not dare to take this risk.
Fujita Susumu's remaining two moves, but even he himself didn't know what to do? The field artillery fired, but at most there was only one battalion of the Chinese Army and 4 tanks on the battlefield. For such a small result, the field artillery unit was
Sending it under the shells of the Chinese artillery? It's obviously not cost-effective.
In the end, Susumu Fujita decided to use a tank brigade. However, he decided to use only one tank brigade, that is, 16 tanks. In Fujita Susumu's view, 16 tanks vs. 4 tanks would have an advantage anyway.
Here, Susumu Fujita has already lost his head. The battle report has already stated that the 75mm mountain cannon and the 70mm infantry cannon are of no use against China tanks. Is it possible that a tank equipped with a 37mm tank gun is still useful?
So, in the vigorous contest between the two sides' mountain artillery, infantry artillery, tank artillery, mortars, and grenade launchers, the Japanese army's 16 Type 95 tanks joined the chorus!
"Commander, the Japanese army has dispatched 16 combat vehicles. The rocket launcher battalion requests, should we fight or not?" The staff officer promptly sent a combat request from the front troops.
"Dispatch an anti-aircraft artillery battery and resolutely knock out the Japanese tanks!" Zhang Tongqing had an idea in his mind and came up with this idea. The Japanese only dispatched some tanks, and I only dispatched some artillery. Let's show off.
Move, if the devil doesn’t use a special move, I won’t use a special move either!
"Commander, this is a great move!" Huang Tingzhen also saw the beauty of Zhang Tongzai's arrangement and now placed his position very low.
This is also the advantage of the powerful equipment of the National Defense Force. No matter how we fight, I have the means to restrain it. Yesterday, Huang Tingzhen did not think so comprehensively, thinking that a single blast from the howitzer regiment would be enough to complete the battle.
As soon as the Japanese tanks rushed about a kilometer away from the four tanks of the National Defense Force, they began to "bomb". However, most of the shells flew away and did not hit the target; one of them hit the target.
, the tank of the National Defense Force just shook, and then made some evasive movements, but did not fight back.
The independent armored brigade has long received orders that Japanese tanks are the opponents of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion directly under the 063rd Division!
"What's going on with the China Chariot? Is it because the caliber of our artillery is small?" The Japanese Chariot felt a little confused when seeing this scene.
Just before the Japanese came to their senses, about 800 meters away from the side of the Japanese chariot, more than ten trailers suddenly appeared. Behind each trailer was an artillery piece with a slender barrel.
"That's not an anti-aircraft gun, right? What did the Chinese army do with the anti-aircraft guns?" The commander of the Japanese rear position saw this scene through his telescope, but they did not understand the use of the anti-aircraft guns.
The anti-aircraft gun can shoot flat, but it does not mean that it can shoot flat if you want to shoot flat. It must be modified to a high-level dual-purpose gun.
In addition, anti-aircraft guns level fire was also an invention of German Marshal Rommel in 1940 during World War II. At this time, the Japanese army could not even think of anti-aircraft guns level fire.
"Oh, the Chinese Army won't use anti-aircraft guns to hit the Imperial Army's tanks, right?" The Japanese commander saw the trailer stopped, and the artillerymen were trying hard to roll down the barrel and aim it in the direction of the Japanese tanks, so
Very surprised.
Next, the Japanese commander really saw a scene that surprised him. After those slender-tube artillery pointed their muzzles at the Japanese tanks, the 12 artillery pieces immediately roared "boom boom boom".
The Japanese commander only saw a string of orange-red artillery shells flying towards the imperial tank as if on a string.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Suddenly, dozens of artillery shells hit the imperial army's tank one after another!
"Boom - ah!" The Japanese commander's face suddenly turned pale, because in a series of blows, the imperial tank exploded on the spot and burst into flames.
From the perspective of the Japanese commander, an imperial tank was destroyed after only one shot (many of them), and it only took a few seconds. Oh my god, how could this battle be fought?
This battle cannot be fought! In the first round of anti-aircraft artillery salvoes, 6 of the 16 Japanese tanks were directly hit by bullets, 1 was exploded, 2 were knocked down, and the remaining 3 were damaged by shells.
He was young and could barely move, but the tank crew in the car was almost scared out of his mind and hurriedly made various evasive maneuvers.
The Japanese infantry, who were competing and counter-fighting with the National Defense Forces for positions, became even more excited and fierce when they saw the division finally dispatching the tank troops. In a short period of time, they actually put great pressure on the National Defense Forces. However, the tank troops had just
They were hit head-on upon their appearance, which made the Japanese infantry seem to have fallen from the top to the bottom, and their energy and energy were suddenly gone.
"Boom boom..." The anti-aircraft guns of the National Defense Force had no time to care about the performance of the Japanese infantry and continued to pour shells at the Japanese thin-skinned tanks!
The anti-aircraft gun's ability to continuously fire shells is related to the way the anti-aircraft gun feeds. It is completely different from ordinary howitzers and mountain cannons. The shells of ordinary howitzers and mountain cannons are loaded one by one. After firing, the barrel must be reset before loading.
The second shot; if the anti-aircraft guns were loaded in this way, the planes in the sky would have dropped bombs on their heads long ago. The anti-aircraft guns' ammunition supply method is similar to that of machine guns, with ammunition continuously fed by ammunition chains, but the recoil generated by the shells needs to be offset after all.
, therefore, the weight of anti-aircraft guns is generally larger, and their recoil is offset by the gunfire itself.
This is why the minimum number of personnel for a 60mm mortar is 2, while a 20mm anti-aircraft gun often requires a dozen or more people.
The fate of the Japanese tanks was decided the moment it entered the battlefield. Although the performance of the Japanese tanks was remarkable, they kept driving, evading, and fighting back heroically, and even damaged an anti-aircraft gun of the Wehrmacht.
, killing and wounding more than ten Wehrmacht soldiers, but their bravery only lasted for half an hour at most before they were sent to their death graves by Wehrmacht anti-aircraft guns.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
The failure of the Japanese tank detachment made Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, commander of the 3rd Division, so angry that he smashed a set of Chinese porcelain to pieces! As the exchange of fire between the two sides continued and time passed, Susumu Fujita felt more and more that the Chinese army
With its terrifying strength and sinister intentions, if no good solution can be found, will the 3rd Division be kept in a small Yangmiao?
"Your Excellency General, we should ask His Excellency Yanagawa Heisuke of the 10th Army for tactical guidance!" Chief of Staff Colonel Ohara Kuriji suggested in a low voice.
"Ohara-kun, look at the map. How did Yanagawa-kun's guidance lead to Yangmiao?" Susumu Fujita didn't even look at Ohara Riji. This guy is telling lies with his eyes open. In Jiaxing, between Jiashan and Songjiang, there is already a long way to go.
An isolation line was established by the Chinese Army. If the reinforcements of the 10th Army wanted to reach Yangmiao, they had to break through this line of defense or make a large detour. However, judging from the current situation, the 3rd Division is probably
I can't hold on until that time.
Calling for air support? The front army headquarters has already sent a message. The Third Flying Group has been severely damaged and will not be able to provide effective support to the troops in the short term.
Calling for reinforcements from other directions? It seems feasible, but in fact it is not feasible at all. There is a Chinese saying that it is called a carrot and a pit. Don't look at the East China Front Army, which has 3 armies and 15 divisions, but these divisions have to control their own territory.
, and there has long been a situation of mutual restraint between them and the Chinese army. A single move can affect the whole body!
Thinking of this, Susumu Fujita couldn't help but look to the northeast, wondering if General Matsui Iwane could come up with any clever tricks to save the critical situation at hand!
Just when Lieutenant General Fujita was eager for General Matsui Iwane to come to relieve the difficulties, a message from the East China Front arrived: "The 10th Army and division headquarters, the Empire Headquarters have officially launched the 'Yellow Bird Plan': the 117th Division located on the front line, the 107th
The division and the various units of the 3rd Division can pretend to be exhausted from now on and gradually retreat to the front line of Songjiang and Qingpu; after 12 noon tomorrow, all units of the 10th Army will continue to retreat as a whole until they give up Huzhou, Jiaxing, Wujiang, and Qingpu.
,Songjiang area.”
"The empire headquarters is wise, and the emperor protects the wise!"
The three divisions on the front line who received the telegram breathed a huge sigh of relief. The artillery fire of the National Defense Force was too fierce, and the tactical level of its soldiers was too high. After more than a day of fighting, although the Japanese army also had some partial
Counterattacks or short assaults, but overall the situation is one-sided. Outer strongholds have been removed one by one, and Japanese troops in squads and squadrons have been annihilated. If they continue like this, in just two days, they will have no troops available!
After receiving the "retreat" order, various Japanese military units took quick action. In just half an hour, they abandoned some positions facing the National Defense Forces and gradually retreated.
"What, are there signs of Japanese troops retreating? Continue to observe and report any situation at any time!" Almost at the same time, the forward positions of several divisions of the National Defense Force in contact with the enemy reported to their respective division headquarters that the Japanese troops were about to flee.
