Just when Yang Zhen and Liu Changshun were puzzled by the sudden outbreak of the Third Battalion of the Eighth Regiment of the Fourth Division, in fact, at this time, the commander of the Japanese army, Major Kitano Takatsu, was also suffering.
.【.Com text】It’s not that he doesn’t want to run, but he really doesn’t dare to run.
Kitano Gaojin is actually in trouble now. Originally, according to the garrison designated by the Kwantung Army for the Fourth Division, the Eighth Regiment was not stationed in Jiamusi. But after being crippled in the battle north of Dunhua, the Third Battalion has been relying on
Renovation in Jiamusi. No matter how fast the division and regiment headquarters rush, they just won't move the place.
In fact, Kitano Takatsu's Third Battalion fought in the northern part of Dunhua, and the battle casualties were not very large. When his Third Battalion collapsed, even the organization remained intact, and most of the people were not killed or injured in the battle. In addition, after the battle, because
Due to the situation, Yang Zhen did not clear out the stragglers. Therefore, except for a few unlucky ones who got lost and died trapped in the deep mountains and forests of Zhangguangcai Ridge, at least 60% of the people ran out.
Judging from the consistently high efficiency of the Japanese army, although the replenishment of troops must give priority to the losses in the battlefield within China's Guan territory, as the heavy troop group that the Japanese army attaches most importance to, the Kwantung Army is not slow to replenish itself. In fact, the losses of the Third Battalion before May were
The replenishment has been completed. The reason why I still stay in Jiamusi is because it is really a good place to do business.
Jiamusi's railways and shipping are extremely developed. To the north is the fertile Xiaoxinganling Mountains, which is rich in coal, timber and various high-end furs. As the provincial capital, Jiamusi is full of entertainment and nightlife. For Kitano Takatsu and the various members of the Third Brigade
For senior officers and soldiers, it is much more attractive than the original station.
After receiving the order from Ueda Kenkichi, Sawada Shigeru transferred all the mobilizable troops of the Fourth Division to the front line of Qunce Mountain to participate in the clearing. However, Jiamusi, as an important town in northern Manchuria, could not resort to the empty city strategy. In desperation, Sawada Shigeru
We can only leave the Third Brigade, which always makes various excuses not to return to its original station, to stay in Jiamusi on guard duty.
In Sawada Shigeru's view, the anti-Japanese armed forces on the front line of Qunce Mountain would not have the strength to divide their forces to attack Jiamusi in the face of massive pressure from the imperial army. At this time, there were not many anti-Japanese armed forces in the North Manchuria area.
Combat strength. Either they were forced to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, or they had already crossed the Xiaoxing'an Mountains and retreated to the west.
As the seat of the Fourth Division's headquarters, Jiamusi, which has a large amount of reserve supplies for the Fourth Division, will not pose any threat in the short term. However, the necessary left-behind troops must still be left behind. Not to mention Sawada Shigeru's immediate boss
, the commander of the Kwantung Army’s Fifth Army, Doihara Kenji, is still in the city supervising the battle. If the army commander’s guard troops are not even left, it is really unjustifiable, isn’t it?
Since your third brigade cannot fight in the field, but without any threat, it should be able to serve as a garrison, temporarily serve as a military policeman, policeman, and look after the army commander and everyone else. It should be okay to serve as a sentinel. In order to show that
Paying attention to the Third Brigade, Sawada Shigeru also appointed Kitano Takatsu as acting Jiamusi Security Commander before leaving.
Sawada Shigeru's wishful thinking was good, and Kitano Takatsu, the acting security commander, was also leisurely and contented. Every day and night, dogs and horses danced and danced. Sawada Shigeru had only been gone for a few days, and this guy had already destroyed all the big and small brothels in Jiamusi City, no matter if they were opened by the Japanese.
They were all driven by Chinese and North Koreans, with the determination to kill the wrongdoer rather than let go, so I walked around all over.
Although the commander of the army is in the city, this guy who thinks he has a tough background doesn't care. What to do, what to do, what to do, how to play. Jiamusi is very safe now, as long as no anti-Japanese elements come to attack.
, even the army commander can't do anything to him. But now those anti-Japanese elements simply don't have the strength to attack Jiamusi, and it is impossible.
However, this extremely enterprising guy did not relax his business while playing. He dealt with businessmen from China, Japan and North Korea in Jiamusi City every day, thinking about how to sell his private goods at a good price.
As for whether the powerful bandits on the front line of Qunce Mountain would take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack on Jiamusi, this guy never thought about it. The division commander in front concentrated three infantry regiments, plus a reinforcement assigned by the 11th Division
The regiment, with more than 10,000 elite troops of the imperial army supported by planes, not to mention a small group of bandits, even a few regular troops of the National Government would come. Those bandits will not be able to take care of themselves.
Any chance of a sneak attack on Jiamusi?
But he didn't expect that Yang Zhen would really dare to split his troops and attack when the Japanese troops were pressing heavily. He ignored the Japanese troops on the front line of Qunce Mountain and instead launched a long-distance attack to really kill Jiamusi. When the first wave of artillery shells
When it hit the military camp and blew up the troops who were gathering for morning exercises, flying blood and flesh everywhere, Kitano Takatsu, who had just returned from the brothel, could hardly believe what he saw with his eyes.
After Liu Changshun launched an attack on the Japanese military camp, Kitano Takatsu, who thought he was at the rear and should be the safest place, discovered that Jiamusi, which was originally at the rear, suddenly became the front line.
However, although he has always been a little unprofessional and focused more on how to make extra money. Kitano Takatsu is still a graduate of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and his military level is still at a certain level. Although he likes to spend time and wine, the basic quality of a soldier is somewhat poor.
, does not mean that his reaction ability is also poor.
He immediately reacted from the density of shells hitting his head. The opponent's sneak attack on Jiamusi was definitely the main force. When the intensive gunshots rang out everywhere in the city, Kitano Takatsu, who knew how many troops there were in Jiamusi City, immediately became alert.
He discovered that he could now be said to be fighting alone, and unfortunately fell into the encirclement of that cunning opponent.
After discovering that they were surrounded and knowing that their way out was dead, it was extremely rare that Kitano Takatsu and his men aroused the military spirit that had been missing for a long time or had never existed before. Although the Fourth Division was somewhat fond of bargaining and had poor willpower in combat,
The rest of the Japanese army generally lacked the determination to fight to the death, but when forced into a desperate situation, it did not mean that they would not fight to the death. However, the strength of their determination was related to the battle situation.
It's just that although Liu Changshun went through a half-day of fierce fighting, his several attacks continued to make progress, and the casualties were not small. He only captured half of the camp. But even this half-day of fierce fighting completely wiped out the bloody spirit that the third brigade had barely inspired.
Liu Changshun's casualties were not small, but Kitano Takatsu's casualties were not much better either.
After the third brigade has been reorganized, in addition to the brigade artillery that still needs to be allocated by the Kwantung Army, the four infantry squadrons and the heavy machine gun squadron have been fully replenished. However, one of the four squadrons is still outside the military camp for the division headquarters and now
Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, who is staying in one of the most luxurious hotels in Jiamusi, serves as a guard. There are only three squadrons in the camp, as well as some baggage, engineering, artillery and cavalry units directly under the division.
In a fierce battle that lasted only half a day, apart from nearly one of the three infantry squadrons that was lost in the shelling, the remaining two squadrons also suffered nearly 30% casualties. As for Kitano Takatsu, who was extremely unethical and pulled him into the eye-catching position, he didn't even have many guns.
The engineers and baggage squadron of the third brigade had already suffered more than half of their casualties. The half-day fierce battle and such high casualties had long since made the officers and soldiers of the third brigade lose their determination to continue the fight.
The reason why they are still resisting, not breaking out, and just running away is because the commander of the Fifth Army, Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, is now in Jiamusi. Even if Kitano Takatsu and his men cherish their lives, they still know that
, if you leave a lieutenant general and commander in the city and run away by yourself, no matter how tough your backstage is or how rich your family is, your superiors will not forgive you.
Secondly, neither Kitano Takatsu nor his troops had serious confidence in breaking through. The intensity of the artillery fire that had just fallen on their heads made them, who were very calculating, already know that the anti-Japanese armed forces that entered Jiamusi would definitely not be in the enemy's territory.
There are only a few, and the firepower is extremely powerful.
The gunfire that had gradually subsided in other areas of the city, especially the gunfire from the Third Cavalry Brigade station, was also telling them that they were probably the only Japanese army left in Jiamusi City. There was no reliable cover for a breakout.
, I’m afraid it’s simply impossible. The memory of the battle in northern Dunhua is still fresh in their minds at this moment.
These Japanese troops knew that when they suffered heavy casualties, their opponents were extremely cunning, and they were trapped in a city with walls on all sides, the possibility of a successful breakout was almost zero. Unless a force was left to provide full cover, it would be almost impossible.
Impossible. Although at this moment they are not far away from the west city wall where the gate has been dismantled.
But that unit was left to cover the breakout, and several squadron leaders were pushing the blame with each other. No one was willing to take on this task that they thought would definitely lead to death. After a long time, they still hadn't decided who would stay. They were getting anxious.
They clamored to leave together and to stay together. They all stayed. Relying on the large inventory of ammunition in the garrison, they might be able to hold on until the division commander returned for reinforcements.
In view of the statements of several squadron leaders, Kitano Takatsu, who did not want to offend his subordinates too much, could only make a decision that almost everyone except him was happy with. Everyone would not leave, but would stay and hold on together.
The most critical reason for all the officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion to persist in the fight is that they have been in Jiamusi for several months, and the money and goods they collected are now in the camp. For these Osaka soldiers, life is precious, but the charm of money cannot be tolerated.
Xiaoshi. Throwing away these money and belongings is as uncomfortable for them as killing them.
For all the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion, the safety of military commander Kenji Doihara is no more valuable than the money and belongings he has that can make him rich. If the military commander is
If he was killed in battle, the responsibility would naturally be borne by the superior officers, and he would have almost no losses.
If all these valuable things are lost, then I want to make up for the loss, but I don’t know that I have to wait until the year of the monkey. It can be said that among the three reasons, this reason is what motivates all the officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion except Kitano Takatsu.
The most fundamental reason to resist.
The officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division had a good idea, but when they changed their previous tactics of advancing layer by layer, using cannons with bayonets, advancing mountain cannons under their noses and firing flatly, and knocking out the barracks where they were hiding one by one, these Japanese soldiers
The officers and soldiers were dumbfounded. If you use the power of a grenade to compete with a mountain cannon, isn't that asking for death?
When Hu Zhaoshan commanded the four mountain cannons to brave Japanese machine gun fire and enter the Japanese camp under the cover of the main artillery force, Liu Changshun saw that the commander had transferred all the precious artillery here, and knew that this was Yang Zhen's actual return.
He issued the final general attack order and gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money.
In order to ensure the success of the attack, Liu Changshun concentrated all the 60 submachine guns that had just been produced by the arsenal and temporarily distributed to a regiment before setting off, plus all the speed machines in his existing troops, into one company, and
The regiment's new grenades, which were not in large numbers, were all allocated to this company. The regiment's mortars and infantry artillery, which had been providing fire support outside the camp, were also transferred to the battlefield by him to provide fire support nearby. He launched
total attack.
The mass production of submachine guns has just begun. Due to the lack of technical personnel and lack of experience, even if it was a surprise production, even if they worked overtime before this roundabout operation, they could only produce more than a thousand units. Except for the headquarters security force and the arsenal security force, some were left.
In addition, the main equipment was given to the reconnaissance battalion first. Each of the remaining regiments is temporarily equipped with an average of 120 units. Because the troops have to be divided into battles, Liu Changshun only has 60 units in hand at this time.
Hand grenades are also due to insufficient production capacity. Although there are many Type 97 hand grenades in stock seized, the number of modified pull-type fuse grenades is not large. And they are mainly distributed to the reconnaissance battalion. On average, the three regiments also do not have much equipment.
.At this moment, the most used type of grenade by the troops is the unmodified one, which is the Type 97 grenade with impact fuze.
Liu Changshun gave this company all the submachine guns, new grenades, and even all the speed machines that could be concentrated on hand, which can be regarded as a huge investment. You must know that the troops he has on hand now are only more than one battalion. These types of street fighting,
The number of sharp weapons and equipment for melee combat is really not that large.
Before the general offensive was launched, Liu Changshun approached the commanders of the last main attack company and the three companies of mortars and infantry artillery, and carefully explained the mission: "You three companies should not attack from the front. You should attack from the three company positions on the right.
Because the terrain is relatively narrow, it has always been used as an auxiliary attack direction. This time I chose that place as the breakthrough point."
"As for the front, I will deploy troops to cover you with a feint attack. Your attack will be launched fifteen minutes after the feint attack is launched. This is where the Japanese barracks are most densely populated, and it was also a blind spot when covered by previous artillery fire. There are more buildings preserved.
.You must adopt close-combat tactics, using grenades, submachine guns and speed machines to inflict intensive firepower at close range."
"Remember, artillery must keep up with the advance of the infantry and don't be stingy with artillery shells. Infantry artillery must break down all fortifications for the infantry. Wherever the infantry hits, your fire support must go there and tear apart all the Japanese troops.
The blocking fortifications. The mortars must suppress the Japanese grenade launchers, and their grenade launchers must fire one round, but they must not be allowed to fire a second round."
After explaining the task, Liu Changshun did not say anything to boost morale. He just pointed his finger in the direction of Yang Zhen's headquarters and said: "The commander is watching us over there. Whether we can raise our heads in front of our brother troops in the future depends on you this time."
Can the attack be successful?"
Although Liu Changshun didn't say much, his effect was obvious. Especially the sentence about the commander looking at us, obviously arousing the emotions of the three company commanders. The company commander who was finally transferred by Liu Changshun was a Japanese bacteria.
The old brothers who broke out from the battle base didn't say anything when they heard this. They picked up the submachine guns beside them and turned around to leave. The two artillery company commanders nodded and led their troops towards the planned attack location.
Liu Changshun's desperate move soon bore fruit. The feinting troops on the front attracted most of the Japanese army's attention, especially the four attached mountain cannons that were less than a hundred meters away from the Japanese position, which provided shelter for the Japanese troops on the front.
The broken walls and ruins were completely blown into ruins, driving the Japanese troops out of their established positions. In order to stabilize the remaining territory, Kitano Takatsu had to devote most of his troops to frontal defense.
Just as Kitano Takatsu had just completed the deployment of troops, the flanks that had been silent before because of the narrow terrain, which was not conducive to the attackers, suddenly heard the sound of intensive gunfire. A troop armed with a large number of submachine guns used intensive firepower on infantry cannons and mortars.
With his cooperation, after tearing his flank full of holes, it pierced his remaining territory like a sharp knife.
In places like Japanese military camps where there are a large number of buildings, and the combat distance between the enemy and ourselves is mostly tens of meters or even a few meters, the large range and high-precision shooting of rifles have no effect at all. What is needed more is speed.
And intensive firepower.
I didn't expect that my opponent was equipped with a large number of charges.
