Of course Pang Dahai was not afraid of laboring to transport the heavy 150-caliber mortars and infantry artillery across the Bihe River. The infantrymen of the Fourth Line Regiment made almost the same choice to cross the river as the Japanese army. They stripped off their clothes, carried their clothes and equipment across the river, and then clicked
Get warm by the fire.
Artillery is equipped with pack horses. You can divide the gun frame into several parts and put them on the pack horses to transport them. The trouble is that not only do you have to dress warmly after landing, but you also have to dry the water on the horses, otherwise the pack horses will catch colds and get sick.
A troublesome thing.
But these troubles are nothing compared to wasting hundreds of artillery shells. When I think about the fact that all the artillery shells that I have worked so hard to carry along the way will hit the heads of the Japanese who are still stubbornly resisting without running away,
Pang Panghai's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip with water.
In order to ensure that the excited artillerymen would not be so wasteful, Pang Dahai personally arrived with 4 150mm mortars and 4 infantry guns to observe the battlefield and personally set the coordinates for the artillery attack.
While the artillerymen were busy, the 3rd Battalion, 1st Battalion, and 2nd Battalion arrived and completely surrounded the remnants of Tanaka Takumi's troops.
It was really a 360-degree blind spot, just five hundred meters away from the position that the remaining Japanese troops had desperately built. A total of 9 infantry companies and 3 fire support companies formed a huge ring.
The cavalry company and the engineer platoon led by Yang Xiaoshan had already withdrawn from the battlefield, and together with the supply company and more than 200 recruits, they began to clean the battlefield.
All the bloody battles ahead are just for the sweetness of this moment!
On the battlefield, in addition to the bloody corpses of the Japanese soldiers, there were rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, and of course, the artillery pieces that made Tang Dao, the supreme commander, couldn't help but smile.
The Japanese rapid-fire artillery squadron was completely wiped out by the fire of 150 mortars. Two of the six 37mm rapid-fire cannons were blown into parts, and the other four were also overturned by the air waves. Some of them needed to be repaired, but
However, the artillery pieces of the mountain artillery squadron and the infantry artillery squadron were intact due to the cavalry raid, and they also had a considerable reserve of artillery shells.
This is equivalent to the firepower of 8 75-caliber howitzers at a distance of 6,000 meters. At a range of 3,000 meters, the Fourth Row Regiment has the strength to cover more than 20 artillery pieces, large and small.
2000 meters, there are no less than 50 artillery pieces in total. Although the total range is not as good as that of an artillery regiment of the Japanese army, the firepower intensity is not inferior to them at all.
In other words, if the Japanese want to use another bayonet to see the red, Tang Dao will have the confidence to make them see the bayonet before they see the edge.
The work of cleaning up the other two battlefields was left to Master Zhuang. Tang Dao, along with Gong Shaoxun and the three infantry battalion commanders, witnessed the final destruction of the 2nd Infantry Regiment.
This time, the infantry did not become the main force.
The main reason is that the excellent civil engineering work of the Imperial Japanese Army that Tanaka Takumi expected did not go as he imagined. Not only were the remaining personnel under his command not very good at digging with engineering shovels, but it was also the result of constant harassment by the Chinese.
As the encirclement continued to form, the infantrymen were naturally not idle. Whether it was grenades or precision shooters, they were constantly launching attacks on the Japanese positions.
He couldn't even straighten his back while working, and the efficiency of his work was obvious. Finally, when the trenches could hide people, the artillery of the Fourth Line Regiment was already in place.
It was an artillery unit that assembled 4 150 mortars, 18 82 mortars and 8 infantry cannons. Pang Panghai, who heard the news of the capture of 4 intact infantry cannons, did not ask Tang Dao for instructions. He just said "military emergency"
Received the four infantry guns that the engineers were pulling.
Following Tang Dao's order, all artillery fired at the unfinished Japanese positions. The 10 minutes of fire coverage originally requested by Pang Dahai was turned into 20 minutes by Tang Dao.
More than a thousand infantrymen witnessed a feast of firepower. Even if they were hiding 500 meters away, they could still feel the heat wave hitting their faces and the tremors of the ground. You can imagine how the Japanese army at the center of the firepower coverage felt.
Lieutenant Colonel Tanaka Takumi died within the first five minutes of the artillery fire. A 21 kilogram shell fell five meters away from him. Even though he had huddled into the trench, the huge kinetic energy still destroyed the trench and killed him.
Buried in the soil with several wing headquarters staff officers.
The Japanese army lieutenant colonel who was buried alive will definitely regret his decision to wait for help at the last moment of his life. Not only did he become a dead bastard buried in the soil, but he also lost none of the hundreds of defeated soldiers and was killed by the Four Elements Group.
One pot is served.
Without the protection of perfect fortifications, almost no one could survive such intense artillery fire.
When the three infantry companies approached the battlefield where the shelling had stopped from three directions, the sporadic gunshots on the battlefield were like a man with a prostate problem peeing, and there was no answer.
But obviously, these resistances were in vain. The infantry of the Fourth Line Regiment, which was dominated by the 33 system, simply and rudely suppressed it with firepower, and then the soldiers who followed up threw grenades wildly. The remaining few dozen Japanese soldiers were killed one after another.
.
Until, there is no more sound on the battlefield!
On the battlefield, the remains of Japanese soldiers can be seen everywhere, like Shura Hell. The strong smell of blood made the infantrymen of the Fourth Line Regiment who had just experienced a bloody battle unbearable, and they took out towels to cover their mouths and noses!
"Asshole! The battlefield hasn't been cleaned yet. Who can be sure that no Japanese will survive? If you can't stand the smell, what kind of soldier are you?" Lei Xiong, who followed Tang Dao onto the battlefield, glanced at his soldiers.
They, especially Li Jijin, even put on a gas mask and looked extremely ugly.
"This battle is a great victory. I order that all the personal belongings of the Japanese soldiers captured in this battle, except weapons and equipment, shall be 10% to the individual, 20% to the company, 20% to the battalion headquarters, and 50% to the regiment headquarters!" Tang Dao!
But he smiled slightly and ordered loudly.
"Long live the regiment!" The surrounding soldiers cheered.
This was great, Lei Xiong didn't need to scold him, the soldiers didn't care about the stench, and searched for useful things on the wreckage of the Japanese army.
Most of the military uniforms were in tatters. The soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment, who already had new military uniforms, certainly looked down upon them. The only thing that was of any use was the cowhide boots equipped by the Japanese infantry. They were strong and warm, but they were too heavy.
It’s not suitable for long-distance travel, but it still needs to be pulled down, right?
Of course, what attracts the soldiers of the Sixth Regiment even more is the property carried by the Japanese army. This is also a major characteristic of the Japanese army. They like to carry around the gold and silver objects they robbed along the way. They rob Chinese people. This
Being snatched back again next time is not in line with the old Chinese saying: There is reincarnation in the way of heaven!
"These bastards, as soon as they heard that there was money to be made, their stinky corpses became fragrant." Lei Xiong looked helpless as he watched the soldiers rummaging through the remains of the Japanese army like a pack of wolves.
"Haha! Brother Lei, sometimes don't be too harsh. After a big war, it's not a good thing if the brothers' nerves are too tense. It's not a bad thing to use search and seizure to divert their attention!" Tang Dao!
Laughed.
"We killed Ishiguro Sadazou and the 2nd Infantry Regiment this time. I don't know what that old devil, Madoka Doi, is going to look like! I wonder if he dares to send another infantry regiment to chase us."
"Haha, Tuanzuo, if this old devil Tufeiyuan still dares to send only one infantry regiment, then it would be a good idea for our Fourth Army Regiment to compete with him. I'm afraid he won't have the courage." Gong Shaoxun couldn't help it.
Laugh loudly.
Gong Shaoxun was a cautious soldier, and he had always been opposed to Tang Dao's leadership in the early stages of the battle, but this did not mean that he was timid. In the battle where the cavalry attacked two Japanese artillery squadrons, even if Tang Dao did not personally suppress the battle, he would have
As soon as the military order was issued, the entire cavalry company rushed forward, regardless of how many Japanese infantrymen were on the opposite side.
Fortunately, Tang Dao used force mobilization and hid most of the mortars to paralyze Ishiguro Sadzo. As a result, the Japanese artillery lost its infantry wing protection. The cavalry company wiped out two Japanese artillery units at the cost of only twelve cavalrymen.
squadron.
Compared with the results of the battle, the losses were almost negligible.
At this moment, standing on the last battlefield covered with Japanese corpses, the cautious deputy commander of the lieutenant colonel also became a little wild, and he actually had the urge to fight the Japanese army again.
This is what victory brings.
This is confidence.
The psychological state that soldiers need most on the battlefield.
More than ten years later, on that ice field, the equipment of Chinese soldiers was at least an era different from that of the so-called United Nations army. However, the courage to sacrifice and the self-confidence gradually cultivated after fighting the Patriotic War for eight years made up for the lack of equipment.
"Haha! I don't know what Doi Yuan's face is like now, but I know that he will not send another infantry regiment to deliver food to us. I have ordered the whole army, and I will only give the whole army one hour to clean the battlefield.
, an hour later, the entire army will immediately retreat to the south bank of Bihe River. Before dark, our regiment will all reach the position near the Iron Bridge of the Yellow River." Tang Dao looked into the distance with a bigger smile on his face.
"Tuanzuo, what do you mean..." Lei Xiong was slightly startled. "Shouldn't we block the main force of the 14th Division on the south bank of Bihe River for a few more days to buy more time for the brothers of the First Group Army?
"
"No need, we killed the 2nd Infantry Regiment in this battle. That old devil Doi Madoka has a background in intelligence, and he needs military merit to help him advance. Before he understands the situation, he will never set foot on the battlefield easily again.
We will scare him for at least two days. By the time he has assembled the main force of his 14th Division and comes here, we will have already finished blowing up the bridge and told him that he is done with it!" Tang Dao shook his head.
This is Tang Dao's judgment based on Kenji Doihara's personal habits and style. This is of course not a blind judgment, but is based on several battles led by Kenji Doihara himself.
An intelligence chief who has been engaged in intelligence work for decades is suspicious by nature and considers every battle extremely carefully. This is naturally the potential of a wise general, but once a person becomes too wise, he will lose some of his bravery, and in this world
, how many people can be called wise and brave?
In Tang Dao's mind, there are many famous generals in the world, and those with such qualifications cannot exceed the number of one palm. Of course, this does not include Dofei Yuan, a second-rate army general.
In fact, even his so-called wisdom is just because he is cunning enough. He may have some small cleverness, but he has no great wisdom at all. Otherwise, he would not have become a Class A war criminal after the defeat, and eventually became the first group to be hanged.
Dead unlucky guy.
.........
In Xinxiang City, the 14th Division Division Headquarters!
"The 2nd Infantry Regiment, from Colonel Ishiguro Sadazou down, is all in pieces! This is impossible, this is impossible. The main force of the Chinese has fled in all directions. Which troops do they have that has such strength?" The originally fair and clean man looked like a scholar.
Kenji Doihara's face turned pale, and he slumped down on a Chinese-style grand master's chair as if he was stunned, muttering to himself.
The Wing Headquarters of the 2nd Infantry Regiment had sent several telegrams to the Division Headquarters before this, all requesting reinforcements. It was not until 10 minutes ago that a major staff officer sent a farewell message to the Division Headquarters.
The reason why the signer is a mere Army Major is because he is already the highest-ranking person remaining in the 2nd Infantry Regiment.
Before he sent his farewell message, the 2nd Infantry Regiment's Colonel Ishiguro Sadzo was killed in action, the Lieutenant Colonel Takumi Tanaka was killed in action, and all three major-level infantry battalion captains were also killed in action.
In the room that was temporarily used as the conference room of the 14th Division Regiment Headquarters in the living room of a wealthy Chinese family, in addition to Kenji Doihara who was slumped in a chair, there were two colonel-level officers, but neither of them dared to speak.
They have followed Kenji Doihara, the new division commander, for a short time, but they are very aware of the evil deeds of his Excellency, the division commander. If anyone provokes him, whether it is a colonel or a major general, he will not curse you and go on a mission.
But it is always the most difficult.
This may be one of the characteristics of the division commander, a lieutenant general with a background in intelligence, who will soon have the power of the 14th Division!
"Sano-kun, tell me, is there any Chinese army in this war zone that has such strength?" Kenji Doihara, who came back to his senses, glanced at his chief of staff.
"The 2nd Infantry Regiment's previous telegram stated that they had discovered traces of the Fourth Line Regiment, but the Fourth Line Regiment was only an infantry regiment after all. With their strength, it was extremely difficult for them to cause such heavy damage to our 1st Infantry Regiment. Intelligence showed that the Fourth Line Regiment was
The regiment had contact with the enemy's First Group Army a week ago, and my subordinates thought..." Sano Tadayoshi, chief of staff of the 14th Division, replied quickly.
"First Army? They have been defeated by our division and are now fleeing in several directions. They do not have the strength." Kenji Doihara shook his head. "Intelligence said that the New Eighth Division of the First Theater Division stationed in Zhengzhou has a
The infantry division left Zhengzhou the night before, do you know where they are going?"
"Information shows that the division is stationed along the south bank of the Yellow River!" Sano Tadayoshi replied quickly.
"Is there any specific information on the garrison area and troop deployment?"
"No, you, Division Commander, also know that the assassination on New Year's Day caused heavy losses to our front army intelligence personnel..."
"Asshole, how can you be sure that this division must be stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River, and they will not appear around Bihe River?" Kenji Doihara was furious, his eyes were extremely gloomy. "That's it, the Chinese use the Four Elements Regiment to do it
He used the bait to lure our 2nd Infantry Regiment to take the bait, and then surrounded the 2nd Infantry Regiment with an infantry division and an infantry regiment, which ultimately led to this tragedy!
The failure of this battle was entirely due to Ishiguro Sadazou's greed for power and rashness! This man deserves to die for harming 3,000 warriors of the empire because of his own selfishness!"
The two Japanese commanders looked at each other and took a deep breath. Their division commander was really good at blaming a dead man.
"Pass my military order and order the 59th Regiment to stop marching immediately and find a suitable area to garrison on the spot. After the main force of our division has assembled to judge the enemy's situation, we can then march towards the enemy Zhengzhou!" Doihara Kenji stood up and gave the order with a gloomy face.
"Inform the 27th Brigade, Major Generals Wan Yu and Sakai of the 28th Brigade to come to the division headquarters to discuss strategies to attack Zhengzhou!"
"Hi!" The two Japanese commanders nodded heavily.
Watching his two subordinates leave, Kenji Doihara, who had already stood up, slumped back into his chair again.
There was a fierce light in his eyes, but more of it was pain.
He has received a secret message from the base camp. After he has achieved great success in defeating the enemy, he will be transferred back to the country to use his understanding of China to prepare the "Special Committee on China", responsible for the preparation of the political power and intelligence agencies in the occupied areas. Although his military rank
He was not promoted, but his status was not the same as that of a division commander.
Unexpectedly, before the good news came, reality dealt him a heavy blow. Although the loss of an infantry regiment was not enough to make him, a lieutenant general and division commander, pack up and leave, the stain was already doomed.
If he wants to restore his reputation in front of those big guys, he must capture Zhengzhou, which means that he must be very cautious next time and not make any mistakes again.
For the sake of his own future, the hated Four Elements Group can only be let go temporarily, and Ishiguro Sadozou, who is his confidant, must also take the blame.
Although Tang Dao's understanding of this man was not 100%, it was not too far off. A person with complicated thoughts and extremely greedy was destined not to become a famous general.
It was not until two days after all four regiments withdrew from the battlefield that an infantry squad timidly approached the battlefield and saw the remains of Japanese troops neatly arranged on the ground.
This time, the Four Lines Regiment did not plucking all their uniforms cleanly. Except for the junior officers' woolen military coats, which were worth picking up, those shit-yellow military uniforms stained with blood were still in good condition.
Putting it on the corpse means that all the shoes have been stripped off, leaving only pairs of feet that have been frozen to bluish white and exposed in the cold wind of winter.
As for all kinds of equipment, apart from being blown to pieces and useless, not even a barrel or a piece of wood from the stock was left.
To put it bluntly, what was left to the Japanese was a pile of corpses, more than 3,000 of them.
It's not that hundreds of people escaped, but some people were hit by 150 mortars and were blown into pieces. How do we count them?
In an infantry regiment, no more than 50 people could finally escape, 40 of whom were wounded soldiers and medical soldiers. They were ordered to stop 30 kilometers away to wait for the end of the battle.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for two days, no one came to inform them. It was only later that the main force of the 14th Division, which had regrouped and marched, passed by and informed them of the bad news.
It is said that the major general commander of the 27th Infantry Brigade shed tears when he saw the 40 or so people left in the 2nd Infantry Regiment.
Shouldn't the 2nd Infantry Regiment be rebuilt with this small number of troops until the end of the entire war?
The captain of the 59th Infantry Regiment also wants to cry. He is the only infantry regiment under the brigade commander. Is it necessary for him to exist as the captain of the infantry regiment?
