Yang Zhen has never concealed his admiration for Dong Ping, a young man who once served as the political commissar of the Anti-Japanese Second Route Army. [.Com text] Although this so-called young man is still two years older than him in this world, even if he is not related to future generations
Compared to him, he was only one year younger. But Yang Zhen quite liked the tenacity emanating from his bones.
Dong Ping is a steady but astute person, and he has good skills in both military and political aspects. Although he is a political cadre, he is also very good in the military. Not only does he work with his head, but he is also willing to work hard on his own shortcomings.
Go and learn. No matter how tired you are in training, you have never missed any class of the teaching team.
He listened attentively to every class and memorized it carefully. He observed every sand table simulation in class very carefully. He was the first among all the cadres in the army to learn map surveying. Now he works on the map with one hand.
Even Guo Bingxun, who had a professional background, admired his skills very much.
As for other subjects such as military topography, various tactical commands, recognition of semaphore and bugle tones, and even radio transmission and reception, as well as the study of the reconnaissance subjects taught by Yang Zhen, no matter which subject, his performance was outstanding.
He is extremely outstanding. In Guo Bingxun's words, given time, he can at least be the chief of staff of an army group.
He was the first commander in the entire reconnaissance battalion to learn how to calculate artillery density. The speed and accuracy of his calculations were even worse than those of Ma Qichang, who graduated from the artillery department of the Northeast Jiangwu Hall. Now he is a complete all-rounder. If it were not for the current reconnaissance
The battalion still couldn't do without him, Yang Zhen had already transferred him to his side as a combat adviser or transferred him to other places to stand alone.
Seeing Dong Ping disappearing into the night with one company of reconnaissance and combat troops, and the communications squad behind them seizing the time to follow their footsteps to set up field telephone lines, Yang Zhen knew that with Dong Ping, this battle would be successful.
The certainty is at least about 60%.
After Dong Ping left, Yang Zhen did not hesitate at all. He immediately commanded the artillery to follow up and quietly deployed to a high ground 1,500 meters south of Taipingchuan. This position was 1,000 meters away from the Japanese cordon in Taipingchuan.
About meters. Here, the best power of various artillery including mortars can be exerted, and the maximum suddenness of firepower can be achieved.
After the layout was completed, Yang Zhen issued an order to Ma Qichang. As soon as the news came from Dong Ping, he concentrated all the wild mountain artillery and immediately launched fire coverage on Taipingchuan Village. Yang Zhen, for this small one, only had two Japanese squadrons.
The village prepared a feast.
Yang Zhen's meaning is very clear. I don't care what tricks there are in Taipingchuan. If the three to four hundred shells of my thirty or so wild mountain cannons hit me, no matter what you hide there, it will explode to pieces. Even if you have any tricks, you can't do it.
Can't play it.
According to Yang Zhen's request, the wild mountain artillery directly under the artillery regiment must fire out all the remaining shells of each gun except ten shells in the shortest possible time. However, in order not to affect subsequent combat capabilities, Yang
Zhen hesitated for a while but still did not allow the mortars of each regiment and battalion that had obtained the best shooting range to participate in the bombardment.
All of my artillery shells are stored along the Liangzi River. Only when I return there can I replenish my artillery shells. If I shoot out all the mortar shells belonging to the regiment and battalion here, before the follow-up shells are sent up, I will lose almost everything.
of supporting firepower.
After the battle on the southern front, not only the shells carried by the wild mountain artillery were consumed more than half, but also the mortar shells were consumed extremely much. Once Wang Guangyu or Guo Bingxun were in urgent need of reinforcements, and the supply was unfavorable and the shells were consumed too much, then for
Subsequent operations will be extremely disadvantageous.
So despite some hesitation, Yang Zhen still canceled the decision to participate in the war with mortars. He believed that there were more than thirty wild cannons from the direct artillery regiment and three to four hundred rounds of shells against the two Japanese troops gathered in the small Taipingchuan Village.
The squadron is enough.
Dong Ping moved quickly. Two hours after leaving Yang Zhen, he had already used the cover of night to eliminate several Japanese security positions. After cutting off all the phone lines in the village to the outside world, he quickly penetrated into Taipingchuan Village.
In an extremely hidden corner on the edge of the village. Here, every move of the Japanese soldiers in the village fell clearly into his eyes.
Although Taipingchuan Village has an important geographical location, less than fifteen kilometers away from Tangyuan County, and on the main route from Jiamusi to the west and into the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, the whole village is not large and cannot accommodate two squadrons of Japanese troops.
Therefore, in addition to Sasaki's headquarters, some Japanese troops occupied the magpie nest and occupied the houses of the people in the village. Many Japanese troops could only live in temporary tents or even camp around the campfire.
Although May is about to enter, the weather in Beiman at night is still a bit chilly. In order to keep warm, many Japanese soldiers in the village lit bonfires.
After raising his telescope and observing the movements of the Japanese troops who were gathering in piles around the campfire to keep warm in the village, Dong Ping picked up the communications team that had been following him, set up a field phone as quickly as possible, and quietly reported the first call
Batch of shooting Zhu Yuan.
After receiving the report from Dong Ping about shooting Zhu Yuan, Ma Qichang did not hesitate at all. After quickly adjusting the firing range of his artillery, he fired the first batch of shells in the shortest time. Then he followed Dong Ping's instructions.
After correcting a very small error in the reported data, the shells were fired as quickly as possible according to Yang Zhen's order.
In fact, the first batch of artillery shells fired by Ma Qichang accurately landed on the heads of the Japanese soldiers in the Taiping River. Dong Ping's calculation of shooting density was learned later, but it was extremely accurate. As for the subsequent corrections,
It was Dong Ping who wanted to concentrate more artillery shells around the two houses with obvious radio antennas.
Smashing the brains of the Japanese army as soon as the battle starts is Dong Ping's most urgent idea now. Therefore, the correction of the ballistics is more focused on the Japanese command.
When the first artillery shell fell in the village of Taipingchuan, Sasaki had just finished talking to Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, the commander of the 4th Division stationed in Jiamusi, and was about to ask for Tangyuan County seat again, but found that the call could not be reached. Sasaki was furious.
Chong Chong ordered the adjutant to immediately send troops to check the line.
After discovering that all the phone lines were disconnected, he may have realized that something was wrong. Toichi Sasaki gave his adjutant a death order, asking him to find out the cause of the disconnection of the phone lines as soon as possible, and at the same time ordered the Japanese troops in the village to prepare for the battle.
Prepare.
But it was a pity that Sasaki could not wait for the Kwantung Army headquarters to respond to his request to check whether there were any abnormalities in the secret ammunition storage depot in the Northern Manchuria area. Nor could he wait for the adjutant to report to him the reason for the interruption of the telephone line. He waited
All that came was a barrage of cannonballs hitting his head.
I don’t know if Sasaki Toichi has read the almanac today or checked whether he is destined to commit a crime today. Otherwise, why would he fail everywhere? First, the two brigades of the South Road as a surprise soldier were completely wiped out in the Yuntou Lizi area, and then the Middle Road
, the Japanese troops on the two northern routes also had trouble advancing.
In particular, the 24th Regiment in the middle, as the main force, suffered heavy losses under the attack of the opponent's cold guns and mine formations. Finally, under the full cover of the aviation force, it barely reached the Jianshanzi line. The north road was used as a bait.
An infantry brigade was also besieged by the opponent and could not even cross the Fasi River.
The three-pronged attack on the troops led to the complete destruction of the entire army, heavy losses along the way, and poor progress along the way. It can almost be said to be a complete setback. Especially for the two Japanese brigades on the southern front, not even one of them came back to report the news. If the aviation force had not discovered
, I am afraid that I am about to die and I still don’t know the outcome of the two brigades on the southern front.
Coupled with the large-scale damage suffered by the Kwantung Army in order to better plunder the resources of the Lesser Khingan Mountains and the Jiasui Railway built from Haolianghe to Chenming for future wars against the Soviet Union. This series of losses has almost brought Sasaki to a halt.
I felt mentally and physically exhausted, and the prospect of this campaign was cast into a thick shadow.
He personally talked on the phone with Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, the commander of the Fourth Division garrisoned in Jiamusi, hoping to get reinforcements from the Fourth Division when necessary. It was not that Sasaki lost confidence in a pair of troops participating in the suppression;
After a series of things happened, he discovered that his rather tough opponent's body was no longer that of Wu Xia Amon's. It could even be described as strong.
Sasaki, who was mentally and physically exhausted from the successive blows and in a restless mood, rarely got angry at his adjutant who had been with him for many years because of such a trivial matter as the phone line being blocked.
But before the adjutant who took the order could walk out of the courtyard that was requisitioned as the headquarters, he suddenly saw two artillery shells falling from the sky, accurately hitting the house where Sasaki Yuichi was. Before he could be hit by the sudden attack,
The stunned adjutant shouted out. Almost at the same time as the two shells exploded, the entire Taipingchuan Village was covered by artillery fire.
It's not that Dong Ping knew that Sasaki Chuichi was in this room, it was just that the house chosen by Sasaki Chuichi as the headquarters was the best building in the entire Taiping River. It was the original location of the Taiping River Police Department. It was also the entire Taiping River.
The most obvious target in Kawamura. Because this is the only brick house in the entire village.
Dong Ping only used this place as the reference point for artillery fire because the target was obvious and the radio antenna was set up in this yard. He just didn't expect that the first two artillery shells fired by Ma Qichang to rest the trajectory would be so unpredictable.
It landed directly on the house where Sasaki Yuichi was.
Even if the house Sasaki visited was a brick house, it was only built with ordinary bricks and tiles, not a reinforced concrete structure. Such a house could withstand the bombardment of a 75mm field artillery shell. What's more, it was almost destroyed by
Two shells hit at the same time?
Under the intensive artillery fire, the adjutant could only lie on the ground, not even daring to raise his head. He watched sadly as his commander and the headquarters house were blown up to the sky. For Sasaki to No. 1 Middle School
The adjutant knew the fate of the general without even looking. No one could escape from the house that was hit by two consecutive shells.
As soon as Sasaki arrived, he got on the earthen plane that Yang Zhen gave him for free and flew to the west to meet their Amaterasu. The outcome of the Japanese army in the village was not any better than that of their supreme commander. Suddenly
It was in chaos under the attack of the incoming artillery fire.
Although these Japanese troops were all elite troops, Yang Zhen's firing range was too close. With a shooting range of more than a thousand meters, the Japanese soldiers had just heard the sound of the shells breaking through the air, and the shells had already hit their heads.
No matter how well-trained the army is, its performance will not be that good when faced with a sudden and intensive artillery attack. What's more, the brains of the Japanese army in the entire Taipingchuan area have been smashed in the first place.
When the Japanese soldiers who were bombed and turned around wanted to escape from the village that had become a hell along the north and south exits of the village, they found that these two paths of survival for the Japanese soldiers in the village had been crossed at some point.
Two heavy machine guns.
The two Imperial Army-standard Type 92 heavy machine guns, in cooperation with several Army-standard crooked machine guns, used intensive firepower to harvest the lives of all those who wanted to escape the village that was trembling under the artillery fire.
The Japanese soldiers who wanted to break out and escape from the village that had now become a bloody hell were defeated in large numbers on the way to the breakout. The dense 77-caliber bullets and 65-caliber bullets almost didn't need to be aimed, and all the Japanese soldiers who tried to break out were killed.
The escaping Japanese soldiers were shot to death at the gate of the group tribe they had painstakingly built.
As a group tribe planned by the Japanese army in Tangyuan County, Taipingchuan Village, regarded by the Japanese army as the anti-Manchu anti-Japanese base in Tangyuan, is not big, but the walls are very high and strong, and there is a barbed wire fence on top. The entire village is small.
The village only has two exits in the north and south directions, which are not large and can only pass through one truck.
If the two radio antennas of the Japanese army were not too obvious, Dong Ping, who had no choice but to climb a tree to observe the entire village, discovered that the tall wall that could block all sight would have made Dong Ping give up.
All fantasy.
When Dong Ping sneaked into Taipingchuan Village, it would not have been so smooth if he hadn't found a hidden dog hole under the leadership of the former Taipingchuan Police Station Puppet Manchukuo policeman who was eager to save his life and atone for his crimes.
The infiltration of this Japanese army in Tangyuan and even the Jiamusi area was registered as a key prevention and control area. At this time, due to the arrival of Sasaki, the group tribe was even more heavily guarded.
Of course, the reason why this Puppet Manchukuo policeman is so cooperative is not only because he cherishes life and understands that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, but also has a huge relationship with the speed machine behind him that never leaves his back.
Relationship. As long as he makes the slightest move, the speed machine behind him won't mind beating him into a hornet's nest in a short period of time.
The high wall built by the Japanese army around Taipingchuan Village, although it usually cut off the contact between the people and the Anti-Japanese Alliance, now it has also cut off the hope of the Japanese army in the village to find a way out. This sentence is undoubtedly suitable to describe the current Taiping River.
Japanese troops in Sichuan.
Taipingchuan Village is not big, and three to four hundred artillery shells are enough to roll the place back and forth five or six times. After commanding the last few artillery shells to blow open the village wall, and with artillery fire fully covering Taipingchuan Village, I thought that I no longer had to serve as an artillery soldier.
After correcting the ballistic trajectory, Dong Ping, who had quickly retreated from the village, commanded a reconnaissance company in his hands to spread out a battle formation and rush towards the village through the breach created by the shell.
Behind them, the regular field company, under the instructions of the flares fired by the two mortars that had moved over, still used intensive firepower to block all escape routes for the Japanese troops in Taipingchuan Village.
In fact, by the time Dong Ping rushed into Taipingchuan Village, two entire Japanese squadrons in a narrow range had been bombarded by intensive artillery shells, leaving less than two squadrons, and almost none of them were uninjured.
Almost all the buildings in the village have been razed to the ground by this intensive shelling, and no intact house can be found. On the ground, the broken walls of the houses are littered with the broken limbs and arms of the Japanese soldiers.
Although the few remaining Japanese troops have become more powerful, they are still resisting. But in the face of close combat weapons such as speed machines equipped with a large number of reconnaissance companies, they have almost no power to fight back. The only remaining one is a crooked light machine gun.
, just after it was set up, before it had time to fire, it was blown into the sky by a large number of grenade launchers equipped by the reconnaissance company.
Dong Ping's mopping up battle lasted less than half an hour. Except for the captured adjutant of Sasaki Juiichi, there was no longer a single living Japanese soldier in the entire Taipingchuan village. After Yang Zhen led the main force to approach, the Japanese soldiers here were
The gunfire has completely subsided.
Seeing Yang Zhen coming over, Dong Ping, who had already cleaned the battlefield, handed him a Japanese general-level officer's sword, stood at attention and saluted: "Commander, the battle of Taipingchuan has ended successfully. With the cooperation of artillery fire, our army died in battle."
Six people, 21 were slightly injured, and two Japanese squadrons were wiped out. Japanese Lieutenant General Sasaki Toichi was killed."
"Except for the captured Japanese major officer, all the other Japanese troops were wiped out, and no one escaped. In addition, in a courtyard outside the village, a Japanese ammunition depot was seized. The specific number is not yet known.
