Chapter 0263 Completely wipe out the village brigade!
By the time the village realized that this was a Chinese trap, it was already too late.
Once Dragon Boat Festival takes action, he will never give the enemy a chance to escape or counterattack.
He is just like an assassin, if he doesn't take action, he will take the opponent's life directly.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Sun Zemin's battalion on the right wing was first sent to lure the Japanese to attack the right wing position. They took the opportunity to eat this part of the Japanese.
At that time, Dragon Boat Festival expected that the Japanese would dispatch a squadron to conduct a tentative attack.
But he didn’t want the kid to buy one get one free, so he actually sent two squadrons.
The Japs in these two squadrons were bound to die, so Duanwu didn't care about them at all. What Duanwu wanted was the lives of the Japs in his village, as well as his remaining two infantry squadrons, including an artillery squadron.
This artillery squadron is not only affiliated to the village brigade, but is temporarily transferred to strengthen the overall strength of the village brigade. Otherwise, the MCC devils would not be so reassured and allow the village to advance so quickly.
Of course, there was some arrogance among the Japanese, who did not take the 44th Division seriously at all. Even the fact that a special commissioner and a battalion of security troops had just arrived in Changshu City did not take him seriously.
Because twelve large-caliber mortars were enough for the village to hold on until his reinforcements arrived. After all, the maximum distance between him and the village's brigade was only ten kilometers.
Once the village brigade is attacked, he can arrive on the battlefield within fifteen minutes and rescue the village brigade.
But who would have thought that Duanwu was so crazy. No one could stop what he was looking for. Not only did he secretly mobilize four 105mm howitzers in the city, but he also aimed at the village's artillery position early.
However, Duanwu never fired his artillery. He was waiting for the defeat of the first and second squadrons of the village and when the village wanted to use artillery to cover the retreating infantry, Duanwu took action. He ordered four large-caliber howitzers to attack the Japanese artillery positions.
A devastating blow.
But this was just the beginning. Because just before that, Duanwu had secretly ordered the troops on the left to dispatch two battalions, and with the two battalions from the right, they outflanked and directly attacked the Japanese in the village.
After the Japanese in the village woke up, it was too late. There were three battalions on the south side, including the one that chased and defeated the Japanese.
Including the two battalions on the north side, the total number is more than 2,300 people.
What is the human sea tactic? This is called the human sea tactic. It uses several times the enemy's strength to completely crush the opponent.
The Japanese soldiers in this village ordered to rely on the favorable terrain on the top of the mountain to block the attack, and ordered the communication troops to quickly seek support.
But at this time, they were completely covered by the 105mm howitzer range in Changshu City.
Four 105mm howitzers continued to bombard the Japanese troops on the top of the mountain, covering the charge of the five battalions of the 44th Division.
The Japs in this village were killed by artillery shells while they were in command. After losing their commander, the remaining Japs were unable to form an effective line of defense. There was even great confusion among some small groups of Japs.
Because they had too many enemies, and there were enemies from all directions. They couldn't hold on at all, and could only watch their comrades being killed one by one by enemy bullets.
Which large-caliber bullet is fatal to a Japanese soldier? As long as he is hit by a 7.92mm rifle bullet, the Japanese soldier will not be able to move even if he is not dead.
Therefore, the Type 79 rifle has both shortcomings and advantages. Its shortcoming is that it has strong recoil and is difficult to control. But its advantage is that it can shoot one enemy at a time. As long as the enemy is shot, it will either die or be injured and will lie on the ground unable to move.
Therefore, facing such a group of tiger and wolf warriors, even if the Japanese are really joined by Amaterasu, they will be so scared that they wet their pants.
At the same time, with the help of artillery fire cover, Sun Zemin's battalion took the lead in climbing to the top from behind the Japanese and fought out from behind.
The remnants of the village's brigade were attacked from both sides and were unable to resist. Some of them surrendered, while others were completely wiped out on the high ground outside Changshu City.
Duanwu and Chen Yong drove up and climbed to the top of the mountain. Looking at the miserable situation of the Japanese army, Chen Yong had to admire: "Commissioner, you are such a wise general! I never thought that this battle could be like this."
beat."
Duan Wu said modestly: "In a battle, the first thing is to fight for men, and the second is to fight for wisdom. Without the bravery of all the soldiers of the 44th Division, this battle would not have been so smooth. I just saw that none of the brothers in the 44th Division are afraid
Damn it, they kept rushing forward, one after another.
And without their bravery, no matter how sophisticated my tactics were, I would not have been able to achieve such a victory.
So the credit this time belongs to all the soldiers. I will report the matter to the Chairman and ask for credit for your 44th Division!"
Dragon Boat Festival deliberately spoke loudly so that all the soldiers could hear it.
Sure enough, when those soldiers of the 44th Division, who were slightly tired after charging into the battle, heard the word "ask for merit", they were as excited as if they had been given blood, and their fighting spirit was high.
They were cleaning the battlefield quickly, and they would not let go of the Japs' weapons and ammunition. There was also a soldier who laughed loudly because he picked up a Japs' mortar.
At the same time, the captain of the 38th Regiment, MCC, also received the final battle report from the village brigade: Your Excellency, our army was in an extremely disadvantageous situation in just an instant, and a large number of enemy troops were rushing towards us like a tide.
.They are not cowards. Their bravery makes the soldiers of the empire lose their confidence in fighting.
I don’t know how long we can hold on, but I think we were deceived by the Chinese. In such a large-scale battle, the opponent is definitely not just one division. And please be careful of that mysterious commissioner
,......
"Baga, why did things go wrong so quickly? Didn't you just say that the Chinese people are all cowards as timid as mice, and they all burrowed into the ground like mice under the empire's artillery fire?"
The MCC Japs roared angrily, and then ordered the 38th Regiment. Except for some infantry who stayed behind to protect the baggage and heavy weapons, the rest of the troops rushed to Changshu for reinforcements.
Because when the MCC Japs saw this battle report, it didn't look like a battle report at all, but more like a final letter before they were killed in battle.
In other words, this village would only issue such a tragic battle report when the battle was quite unfavorable.
When he thought that nearly a thousand imperial soldiers were being besieged by the enemy, MCC became extremely anxious. He led nearly two infantry brigades, a total of 1,800 people, carrying light weapons, and rushed to Changshu for rescue.
However, he fell into Duanwu's plan again because the last telegram was sent by Duanwu.
The soldiers of the 44th Division captured the Japanese communications soldier, and Dragon Boat Festival drafted a message for the Japanese communications soldier to send.
The little devil was very stubborn at first, saying: He would not send such a message.
But when Duanwu Fatty beat him up and put a gun to his head, he was instantly intimidated.
Of course, even so, Duan Wu would not absolutely trust the Japanese communications soldier. He took the code book and compared it one by one, watching the Japanese soldier send out the telegram. Then he destroyed the radio station.
Chen Yong was a little surprised and asked in surprise: "Special Commissioner, what do you mean by this? We have annihilated the village brigade, shouldn't we withdraw to the city?"
Duanwu smiled evilly and said: "This war has just begun. I want the Changshu City to be filled with Japanese corpses!..."
