Chapter 084 The Fate of the 9th Division of the Guangdong Army 3 (The second update is here!)
(This story is purely fictitious, please do not imitate it!)
At this point in the battle, there was no longer any suspense. Even though the Guangdong Army division headquarters still had some equipment such as submachine guns and heavy machine guns, and even though the Guangdong Army still had at least 6,000 intact soldiers, it could no longer stop the 2nd Battalion from winning.
!
"Click, click... Boom, boom..." After entering the city, the 2nd Battalion organized itself into platoons, opened the way with machine guns and grenades, and rushed towards the streets and alleys quickly, without giving the Cantonese army a chance to react.
"Order all the troops to disperse and break out!" Wu Dingchu finally made up his mind as the security regiment at the headquarters was already engaged with the enemy, but was clearly no match for the enemy.
From the beginning of the city's destruction to the end of the Cantonese army, it only took an hour.
Since the establishment of the independent detachment, Wu Aihua has a requirement for the army, that is, every soldier, every combat team, every squad, from platoon, company, battalion, and regiment, are war machines at different levels. This machine
A machine is not a dead machine, but a living machine. This means that a soldier, even when he loses contact with his combat team, squad, or platoon, must take on the task of independent combat and must complete and creatively execute the combat orders of his superiors.
, the responsibility of soldiers must not be lost at any time.
Because of Wu Aihua's special concept, all members of the independent detachment, as long as they go to the battlefield, are particularly active and independent, and are fully capable of dealing with emergencies on the battlefield.
The 1st Battalion and the 3rd Battalion, which had not received Yang Guiqing's order to enter the city, had to rush outside Jiaoling City. Suddenly, an order was issued: the 1st Battalion went north along the southeast of Jiaoling, and the 3rd Battalion went north along the southwest of Jiaoling, to attack at full speed and capture prisoners.
!
"Could it be that the enemy abandoned the city and fled?" The two battalion commanders happily ordered the troops to attack, but they thought with pleasure that this Cantonese army was too inexperienced.
It’s not that the Cantonese army has not fought, but that the independent detachment is too strong! At this time, the independent detachment’s small-caliber artillery and machine guns and other weapons and equipment are already higher than any domestic army, even compared with the German Army. This kind of strength comparison,
It is very similar to the combat power ratio between the Chinese army and the Japanese army after the Anti-Japanese War. A Japanese army division can span thousands of miles, a Japanese army brigade can chase a Chinese army reorganized division to escape, and the independent detachment can barely reach this level at present!
Wu Dingchu first issued the "disperse and breakout" order, and then sent the telegram to the headquarters. Therefore, when Chen Jitang received the telegram from the 9th Division, Jiaoling had actually fallen under the control of the independent detachment.
"What, what? Look, what on earth is going on?" Chen Jitang looked at Yu Hanmou and Li Yangjing, a deputy commander-in-chief and a former enemy commander-in-chief. Did he not know anything about the enemy's situation beforehand?
"Commander, the Red Bandits' arrival is really weird! We didn't get any information." Li Yangjing said truthfully.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Chen Jitang got angry and felt a little better. According to Wu Dingchu's telegram, the 9th Division lost about 5,000 people in this battle, and only about 4,000 people were able to break through. When did this red bandit appear?
Such a sharp attack power?
"Commander. We have a total of 5 divisions. Judging from the firepower displayed by the Red Bandits, it can only be regarded as a division with better equipment at most. We still have a chance!" Yu Hanmou did not mention specific tactics, but only the strength of both the enemy and ourselves.
Made a rough estimate.
Yu Hanmou was very cunning. His 1st Cantonese Army has always been based in Guangzhou. As for eastern Guangdong, it is Li Jingyang's territory. Therefore, he laid an ambush, and even if he had an idea, he would not do it for the time being.
explain.
"Yang Jing, what do you think?" Chen Jitang looked at the commander of the 3rd Army.
"Although Jiaoling fell, I still agree with the initial judgment that this is just a small group of elite red bandits. However, this small group should be upgraded to a strength of about 10,000 people."
Li Yangjing was also a man who had fought many times in the north and south. He had also heard about the firepower of light infantry such as small steel cannons. They were light, short-range, and could be operated by one or two people. Therefore, although he heard that the Red Bandits had hundreds of these
Artillery, but it does not mean that the Red Bandits are a large force; moreover, apart from small steel cannons, the Red Bandits only have light machine guns, and they have not heard of heavy weapons such as mountain cannons. Based on this, the Guangdong army may not be afraid
.
"It's just that the appearance of this red bandit was too sudden!" Yu Hanmou added. However, this sentence was a bit inexplicable.
The three of them studied the strength of the Red Bandits and the purpose of sending troops to eastern Guangdong for a long time. At 8 o'clock in the morning, Chen Jitang finally issued a series of orders:
"First, order the remaining units of the 9th Division to use the terrain to entangle the red bandits on the spot or move closer to the 7th Division in Kaiyuan; second, order the 2nd Division and the 8th Division to immediately set off from Meizhou to Jiaoling and join forces stationed in Kaiyuan
The 7th Division and the remnants of the 9th Division worked together to annihilate the Red Bandits; third, order the Air Force to immediately dispatch reconnaissance planes to detect the location and size of the Red Bandits, and at the same time dispatch bombers to bomb the Red Bandits! Fourth, immediately send a message to the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government
Report that the main force of the Red Bandits has fled to the eastern Guangdong area, and please ask the Military Commission to urge the East Route Army and the West Route Army to enter the predetermined position as soon as possible to form an encirclement situation against the Red Bandits!"
It was Chen Jitang's order that caused the four divisions of the Cantonese Army to be doomed and Meizhou fell into the hands of the independent detachment.
You must know that the straight-line distance from Meizhou to Jiaoling or Pingyuan is about 35 kilometers, but the actual distance is much longer. According to the march level of this era, and a division-level army, it will take at least 12 hours, which is also
That is to say, even if the two Guangdong military divisions starting from Meizhou were very fast, it was already dark when they arrived near Jiaoling!
At 8:30 a.m., Wu Aihua received the information reported by Chen Jitang to the Military Commission; at 9 a.m., a regiment of the leading troops of the 2nd Division of the Guangdong Army left Meizhou City and headed towards Jiaoling; at 9:30 a.m., the Guangdong Army
Two Air Force reconnaissance planes took off from Chaozhou Airport and headed for the Jiaoling area for reconnaissance; 10 minutes later, a formation of six bombers took off from Chaozhou Airport, preparing to carry out the mission of bombing the Red Bandits!
The situation in eastern Guangdong suddenly became tense.
Watching the 10 Marine Corps soldiers constantly provide intelligence and report the enemy situation to each battalion, it was an eye-opener for the special operations squadron following the commander!
It turns out that being a commander is so exciting! One moment, he tells where the enemy came from, and the next moment, he tells where the enemy has gone. He dispatches his troops and arranges his troops, just like playing chess.
"Order: The 1st Battalion of the 1st Marine Regiment is responsible for luring the Cantonese aircraft. The 1st Marine Battalion and the Marine Corps will gather together to destroy the enemy Cantonese bomber fleet!" About 10 minutes after the Cantonese aircraft took off, Wu Aihua issued the first order of the day.
A command!
At this time, in the holographic map, only the 1st Marine Battalion was relatively far away from the remnants of the 9th Division of the Guangdong Army, with a straight-line distance of at least 5 kilometers. It was up to them to lure the enemy, as long as the bombers could drop to the effective range of the mg42 squad machine guns.
Within the shooting height, these bombers will not want to return to Chaozhou Airport.
In fact, almost 4 hours have passed since the 9th Division of the Guangdong Army decisively withdrew from the city at around 6 o'clock in the morning. During these 4 hours, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 1st Marine Regiment respectively
At least 1,000 enemies were annihilated. Of course, most of them were captured. Only the 9th Division guard regiment led by Wu Dingchu, including the two brigade commanders Cheng Yule and Sun Deyu, were still struggling in the mountains.
As explained earlier, the independent detachment has used jungle warfare as its battlefield since the first few dozen people. Although the terrain in eastern Guangdong is more familiar to the Guangdong army, it only includes villages, towns, and roads. As for the mountains and forests, it is the independent detachment's.
The world is over.
Even though there are a few new soldiers who are not very familiar with jungle warfare, there are many veterans in the 1st Marine Regiment, and almost half of the soldiers in each squad like the feeling of the jungle.
Therefore, encountering such jungle tigers and wolves, the fate of the 9th Division of the Cantonese Army was basically doomed.
"Da da da..." Just after Wu Dingchu ran a few kilometers under the tug and tug of the guards and thought he had escaped the pursuit of the red bandits, another frightening machine gun sound came from the jungle.
"Deputy division commander, brigade commander Sun, you lead people to make a circle in the mountains and forests, and then go to Pingyuan. I will lead a company to stay and entangle the red bandits!" Seeing that they had actually run out, Cheng Yule thought of a way to break out of the encirclement.
idea.
In fact, they were just a group of Cantonese troops who broke out in Jiaoling City. However, almost all the other groups of Cantonese troops were eaten by the 1st Marine Regiment. At present, they are basically the only ones left.
This group of enemies, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 1st Regiment, are encircling them on a large scale.
"Okay, disperse and break out!" Wu Dingchu did not expect that people's fate could be so changeable. Yesterday he was a high-ranking colonel and deputy division commander of the national army, but today he was a bereaved dog.
"Da da da..." Just when Wu Dingchu made a decision, the sound of machine guns and submachine guns rang out from all directions.
"Brothers, hold on -" Sun Deyu roared, with a spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat in his bones.
"Da da da... boom..." He was answered not only by gunshots, but also by grenades flying out of the jungle.
Wu Dingchu and others were walking on a short road explored by hunters in the jungle. At this time, the place they arrived was a small valley. However, the woods in the valley were too lush and large troops could not pass through it. Logically speaking,
, in such a terrain, the red bandits would at most block him and others one by one. Who would have thought that the red bandits could actually walk through the forest. Thinking of this, Wu Dingchu judged the situation and ordered: "Tell the brothers to give up resistance and surrender."
Bar!"
"Hand in your guns and don't kill -" As if in compliance with Wu Dingchu's order, groups of soldiers wearing green floral robes and steel helmets, with faces smeared with pot ashes and holding various weapons, sprang out from around the jungle. At first glance,
Such soldiers would think that the devil had come to the world, and the timid ones would be so frightened that they wet their pants.
However, Wu Dingchu, Cheng Yule, Sun Deyu and others were also well-informed. When these soldiers rushed towards the Guangdong army in groups of three, they were basically sure that they were a group of red bandits, as evidenced by the red stars on their helmets.
.It’s just that this is a group of red bandits with unprecedented fighting power.
