Four hundred and twentieth chapters chaotic situation
Suppressing the excitement in his heart for the sudden arrival of the fighter plane, Ichiki Kiyoshi immediately ordered the mobilization of all the troops that could be mobilized to outflank the troops led by Wang Deyao. For Ichiki Kiyoshi, he would try his best to eat the troops in front of him. A guy who is so bold that he thinks he is a fat guy.
It will create a first prize for the entire Aruhorqin Banner battlefield, and also reverse the situation of the entire 7th Division, which has been passively beaten at least until now. Of course, it will also add a lot of merit to his promotion to the rank of general. As long as If you can kill the enemy in front of you, at least one medal is indispensable.
In fact, there was no need for him to give orders, and his subordinates had already started to act spontaneously. Otherwise, in this unfamiliar environment, at night with extremely low visibility, and among the Japanese army, during the war, the radio was only used when necessary. Equipped to the brigade level, by the time his messengers find each squadron, the day lilies may have already gone cold.
It's just that the night march was in unfamiliar terrain, and his previous troops were too scattered. Even if his subordinates were well-trained, there was no way there would be no problems at all. The entire 28th Regiment appeared. A large number of people were left behind, and all he could muster was three-quarters of the troops on hand.
As for the remaining quarter, I don’t know where they went during this night that was destined to be unquiet. After all, dispersed marches at night still have certain requirements for the command ability of squadron-level commanders. Although The raging fire in the south and the intensive gunfire pointed the direction for these guys, but there were still several squadrons that got separated from the main group.
There was even a squadron that inexplicably appeared in the East Ujimqin Banner three days later, causing a lot of trouble for the Anti-Japanese Alliance's transportation lines. There was also a squadron that achieved the goal that their captain had always wanted to do, but ultimately failed to do so. The goal was achieved, bypassing the Alukorqin Banner battlefield that night and the continuous melee for several days, and went deep into the territory of Bahrain Left Banner.
Of course, this lost lamb that has entered the tiger's den will not have any good results. The separation of several squadrons has allowed Colonel Ichiki Kiyonao to concentrate only three-quarters of the troops on hand, but in In his opinion, having three-quarters of the troops in hand is enough.
Except for the disappearance of a communication team and an artillery squadron, who did not know where they went, which affected the situation of the battle, he did not care about the other losses, because in his opinion, as long as the gunfire here, his few A missing squadron will naturally come over to join the battle.
Although there is still a quarter of the troops that have not been contacted, so the troops on hand may be a little tight for a while, but the squadron that comes later can be used as the straw that finally breaks the camel's back. As for the loss, He was innocent and didn't care about a squadron. As long as he was entangled in the resistance alliance in front of him and lost a whole squadron, it would not be a serious injury to him.
Although Colonel Ichiki Kiyonao is a little too arrogant, after many years of military career, his tactical command ability is still quite good, and the Japanese army's tactical coordination ability on the battlefield is indeed quite impressive. Although the squadron is The formations marched separately, and the distance between them was a bit far, but the Japanese army's judgment of the battlefield situation and its ability to quickly assemble were indeed quite outstanding.
As soon as the gunfire rang out here, the surrounding Japanese troops were like flies that had smelled the smell of blood. They didn't even need Ichiki Kiyo to give a direct order and immediately rushed towards the place where the gunfire rang out. Although not many troops were invested at the beginning. , but it also completely disrupted Wang Deyao's plan. The commanders of the three battalions, who were attacked from both sides, could only detach part of the few troops at hand to face the unknown drill from which direction. The Japanese troops came out.
Although under Yang Zhen's painstaking training, almost sparing no expense, the basic quality of the main forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance is no less than that of the Japanese army, but after all, the time from the re-training of the Anti-Japanese Alliance to the present is still too short, and at some key nodes Above all, there is still a certain gap with the Japanese army.
For example, the Japanese army's reaction speed and ability to quickly assemble on the battlefield are still incomparable to the current Anti-Union forces. Especially under such a dispersed situation, the rapid ability and rapid ability of the Anti-Union troops are still inferior to them. Although these gaps have been narrowed after being equipped with a series of modern tools such as walkie-talkies, narrowing does not mean completely catching up.
Coupled with the fact that there are too many recruits who lack combat experience in the army, this gap has actually widened. Compared with each other, the marching distance between the two armies is much larger than that of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. When the battle actually started, most of the troops did not The 28th Regiment on the main battlefield actually gathered more troops in several directions an hour after the gunshots were fired, than did Wang Deyao's men who were currently on the battlefield.
In the attack direction of the three battalions, as long as the surrounded Japanese troops were dragged away for an hour, the surrounding Japanese troops would quickly rush in for reinforcements. The combined strength of the internal and external forces would actually be redundant to surround the Japanese troops, and the encirclement and annihilation were ongoing. The communication between the fighting troops and the troops that continued to launch the attack was cut off by the advancing Japanese troops. It was also quite common for the leading troops to fight independently. There were no exceptions in any of the three attack directions.
The marching distance between the various squadrons of the Japanese army did allow Wang Deyao to pass through quite a lot of gaps, but this situation also meant that when he was eating meat, the distance between the leading troops and the main force behind him could only be extended. It is quite open, and the distance between the three battalions, as the distance between their respective targets is different, the distance can only become wider and wider when attacking.
Although the Japanese army itself was difficult to assemble, Wang Deyao's men also found it difficult to cope with each other. After the battle started, his troops disrupted the entire marching order of the 28th Regiment and surrounded several squadrons of the Japanese army. , but its own attack sequence was also dispersed by the Japanese troops who arrived one after another.
Wang Deyao made a well-known mistake here. He should not have dispersed the troops. If he had always clenched the strength of the regiment and all the firepower in his hands into a fist, and charged hard at the Japanese army in one direction. , even if he encountered the Japanese army in advance, the Japanese troops that came in succession were easily defeated by him one by one.
At least if he bites the Japanese troops in one direction and attacks them fiercely, he will not be short of troops. At the same time, even if the surrounding Japanese troops bite him in turn, he will be helpless with the concentration of troops. When the time comes, he will have enough troops in his hands to be able to encircle any point. Still playing for reinforcements, it can be said that he can fight however he wants, it can be said that he is very comfortable.
Because the Japanese troops were scattered, their reaction speed could not be faster than that of his troops who were already on the battlefield. The scattered Japanese troops were in different locations, and the time they arrived for reinforcements could not be consistent. In this way, Come, he can only hope for more fighter planes.
It's just that he didn't concentrate his troops, but dispersed the three battalions, trying to take advantage of the gaps in the Japanese army's marching sequence to completely disrupt the marching formation of the 28th Regiment, so that he could fish in troubled waters, and at the same time overestimated himself. He believed that the current situation of the 28th Regiment was too dispersed. As long as he surrounded some Japanese troops, even if Japanese troops from other directions came to reinforce them, the distance of ten kilometers would still be enough for him to annihilate the encircled targets.
In his opinion, there is no problem at all for his two companies, with the cooperation of artillery, to encircle and annihilate a Japanese squadron. However, his idea is good, but the three battalions are in combat, but because of the different situations they face, The tasks assigned to him also spread out the troops.
Because when the commander of the second regiment asked him for specific plans again, he only said one sentence: Where there are gunshots and Japanese troops are there, attack there. As long as the number of Japanese troops encountered is about a squadron, no matter what else, they will be taken first. Let’s talk about it after it’s dropped, but there is a premise, that is, the attack speed is not allowed to stop.
Originally, he believed that with a battalion equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns and mortars, and behind it with other artillery fire support, it was not easy to encircle and annihilate a Japanese squadron in a short period of time, and the distance between the Japanese marching sequences was too large. , no matter how fast the reinforcements are, in night operations, the reinforcements cannot be faster even if they want to be.
With two companies equipped with considerable firepower and supported by artillery, they surrounded and annihilated the encircled Japanese army. The remaining one company continued to attack forward, find the next target and stick to it first, leaving behind them to strengthen the firepower. Once the main force comes up, we can encircle again, and the planning time for annihilation is enough.
He believes that with each company equipped with walkie-talkies, the most important mutual contact and communication on the battlefield is no longer an obstacle in front of him. With convenient communication conditions, even if the troops are dispersed, they can Gather together in the shortest possible time.
Especially when three battalions of troops formed three lines, the speed of mutual coordination and support would never be too slow. However, he did not expect that under his order, his three lines of troops would fight. I hit it, but it spread out on its own.
Moreover, during the execution, he and the regiment-level cadres he assigned to each battalion generally ignored the Japanese army's reaction speed on the battlefield, ignored the Japanese army's aggressiveness and determination to resist desperately once they were surrounded. He even ignored the weakness of the recruits, who accounted for a large part of his army, and whether they would be able to assemble smoothly during a night battle. He easily won the first battle, and he was dazzled by the victory.
The result was that there were insufficient troops in that direction. Even if the Japanese troops were encircled, they would not have enough troops to encircle and annihilate them in a short period of time. Once the surrounding Japanese troops heard the news and rushed over to reinforce, it would actually cause their own passivity. , coupled with the fact that there are too many inexperienced recruits in our own troops, there is also a certain gap in battlefield response speed compared with the Japanese army.
What was originally a sneak attack plan turned into a chaotic battle, and the Anti-Alliance even surrounded a Japanese squadron. However, his own perimeter was faced with a siege by Japanese reinforcements. Under this situation, Qiu The several 155 howitzers assigned to Wang Deyao by Jintang could not remain silent in the face of this situation.
Wang Deyao's own troops were also used in this way, causing chaos. The attack sequences of the three battalions were all out of sync. When the Japanese troops invaded in reverse, they were unable to coordinate with each other, and even fell into disarray in some local areas. A company appears and has to face the siege of two or three Japanese squadrons. It becomes a chaotic situation where you are surrounded by me and you are surrounded by me.
As the sound of gunfire became more and more intense, the number of Japanese troops rushing over continued to increase. At this time, Wang Deyao's plan had been completely disrupted. The entire battlefield was in chaos, and sounds were heard almost everywhere. Intensive gunfire came from all directions, and even the Japanese troops appearing from behind caught Wang Deyao by surprise.
