The 170th chapter bloody group strategy mountain (2)
? Colonel Taro Tsutsumi Kawama, who was unprepared for the rapid collapse of the Manchukuo National Army, almost felt regretful at this moment. "Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work" Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work. He originally wanted to use Manchuria
The National Army replaced its 44th Regiment in order to reduce its casualties. But he never expected that his opponent, who had been shrinking his neck and being beaten these days, would actually have the strength to fight back.
It's okay to let these Manchukuo troops fight those guerrillas with weak firepower, but if they fight in such large groups, they really can't afford it. After all, the Japanese army was training thugs for themselves, not training an opponent for themselves.
The purpose of training these puppet Manchukuo troops is not to make them undertake independent operations, but to act as a dog leg for themselves and help suppress resistance throughout the Northeast.
The Japanese are very skilled. What they need is doglegs, not potential opponents for themselves. Colonel Tsutsuki Taro Kawama knows this very well. But he did not expect that these puppet Manchukuo troops would collapse after the fierce bombardment.
so fast.
As soon as these people formally engaged in the battle, they collapsed quickly, exposing their core positions to their opponents. If it weren't for Colonel Kajian's quick reaction, ignoring the Japanese officers among them, he directly ordered the remaining soldiers on the position amid the artillery fire.
The light and heavy machine guns opened fire, driving the defeated troops to both sides of the position. My own position was almost not overwhelmed by these people.
Colonel Hejian's move was very vicious. In order to protect his position from being overrun by the defeated army, he opened fire directly on the puppet Manchukuo army that was retreating towards his position. The puppet Manchukuo army was caught off guard and tried to escape into the Japanese army's position to seek shelter.
They suffered heavy casualties. They also wiped out the leading battalion of Du Kaishan Regiment, which was following closely behind and tried to rush into the Japanese position.
Du Kaishan, who was observing the enemy's situation, saw that the attacking troops were knocked down by indiscriminate shooting by the Japanese army, and the offensive was blocked on the puppet Manchukuo army's position. Feeling distressed, he picked up the phone and cursed Xu Yan, the commander of the regiment's mortar company.
: "What did you do, didn't I ask your artillery to keep following up? Are your mortars just decorations? It's been so long, why haven't you knocked out those machine gun fire points?"
Xu Yan, who was scolded, was also in trouble. He did not expect the speed of the collapse of the puppet Manchukuo army. And the infantry followed too closely. Since breaking into the puppet Manchukuo army's position, they have been suppressing the puppet Manchukuo army to attack his own.
The firing range was tightly blocked by the retreating puppet Manchukuo army and the pursuing infantry, and it was impossible to see how the target would provide fire support.
But before he could explain, Du Kaishan on the other side of the phone followed him: "You don't need to explain to me. I told you again and again before the war, where the infantry is defeated, your artillery will follow. There are enemies there.
Focus your firepower and hit me with your shells there. Don't tell me that the machine gun fortifications of the little Japs are made of steel and concrete, so your mortars won't work."
Looking at the infantry who were suppressed at the front by more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army and could only lie on the ground and shoot at each other, Du Kaishan was extremely anxious. Compared with the Japanese army's long-range shooting accuracy, his own troops were looking for death. Don't look at the equipment.
They are all the same Type 38 rifles, but they are almost perfect within 200 to 300 meters. Half of the people on my side are secretly happy if they can knock down the target within 150 meters.
The only way to avoid casualties in fighting the Japanese army is to enter close combat as quickly as possible. Of course, this close combat does not refer to hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army. The little devil's hand-to-hand combat ability, at least for now, is not comparable to that of his own troops. Not only Liu Changshun knows this, but also Wang
Guangyu and Du Kaishan also knew it very well.
The close combat they are talking about refers to using the large number of submachine guns, speed machines and other automatic firearms equipped in their hands to use the intensity of firepower to defeat the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army in close combat. Try to avoid the situation of shooting with Japanese rifles or even machine guns.
.Especially at this time, Du Kaishan had a large number of submachine guns in his hands, and he would not be an idiot to use his own weaknesses to touch the Japanese army's strengths.
When the Fourth Division was there, the Qunce Mountain secret base was completely surrounded by Japanese troops. But after the Fourth Division withdrew, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops were only enough to sustain a frontal attack and protect their flanks, which was not enough at all.
Forming a complete encirclement.
After discovering that the encirclement of the Japanese and puppet troops had weakened, leaving only frontal troops, and that he could resume direct contact with Qunce Mountain, the commander-in-chief immediately moved the more than 400 submachine guns that had been produced overtime in the past few days as quickly as possible, as well as a large number of modifications
Southern-style pistol ammunition was transported to Qunce Mountain.
After receiving this batch of weapons, Guo Bingxun, who was already preparing to start a counterattack, did not hesitate and distributed all these submachine guns to the hands of the two regiments in the shortest time. His tactics were obvious. He was shooting at us with the little devils.
It's not their personality. Even if they fight with a bayonet, they are no match for them, and they can't afford it. But we can use the large number of automatic weapons on hand that the little devils don't have to fight them in close combat.
The counterattack tactics formulated by Guo Bingxun are also very simple, which is to break through the frontal defense line of the puppet Manchukuo army as quickly as possible and suppress the puppet Manchukuo army. After defeating the frontal puppet Manchukuo army, the entire army will follow behind the puppet Manchurian army.
, to drive the defeated troops of the puppet Manchukuo army towards the Japanese defense line, and strive to overwhelm the Japanese frontal defense line in one fell swoop.
Guo Bingxun's idea was good, but he did not expect that the Japanese army would go on a killing spree at the critical moment to ensure that their positions would not be disrupted by the defeated puppet Manchu army. Not to mention using firepower to stop the defeated puppet Manchu army.
He also raked grass and hunted rabbits, causing serious casualties to his attacking troops.
Seeing the heavy casualties of the attacking troops, more than one Du Kaishan had red eyes. Even Guo Bingxun, who was observing the battle less than 200 meters behind Du Kaishan, also had red eyes. From the telescope, Du Kaishan could clearly see the attack.
The leading battalion suffered casualties from at least half the company under the indiscriminate firepower of the Japanese army.
The distance is too close, less than 200 meters. According to the training level of the Japanese machine gunners and the number of light and heavy machine guns on the Japanese position, this distance is enough to cause casualties to the sharp knife battalion. If it were not for the collapse of the Puppet Manchukuo army in front.
Be careful, this sharp knife battalion may suffer more casualties.
A somewhat red-eyed Guo Bingxun picked up the phone and was about to give an order to the artillery to use artillery fire on the Japs' forward position on the plow. He knew very well that if those light and heavy machine gun firepower points were not knocked out as soon as possible, the generals waiting for the attacking troops would
What could it be? The moment he picked up the phone, he suddenly calmed down again.
At this time, the distance between the two armies on the front line is less than a hundred meters. The distance is too close, and the training of our own artillery is still insufficient. Once artillery fire is used to cover such a close distance, what kind of casualties will the attacking troops bear? I am afraid it is simply impossible.
Imagine.
Perhaps seeing the hesitation on Guo Bingxun's face, a combat staff officer next to him said: "Chief of Staff, would you like to see if the attacking troops should retreat slightly. In this way, we can use artillery fire to suppress the stubborn resistance of the Japanese troops in front of us, or we can wait for the commander
After launching an attack over there, we will attract some of the Japanese troops facing us to reduce the pressure on our front."
Regarding this staff member's suggestion, Guo Bingxun shook his head without thinking and said: "No. These Japanese troops are not troops like the Fourth Division. They are all veterans who have been brainwashed by the Bushido spirit and are not afraid of death. Under the gunfire,
I don’t need to tell you about the survival rate of veterans. Even if it is covered by artillery fire, it may not be possible to destroy these light and heavy machine guns. Once we withdraw and let them catch their breath and try to attack again, we don’t know how much more price we will have to pay.
"
"Besides, the commander's troops are not as strong as ours, but they are actually responsible for the main offensive task. We only need to separate the 44th Regiment from the Lin Fang detachment left by the 4th Division. And the main
The burden of interspersing and dividing the Japanese troops is all on their side. If our side temporarily stops the attack, the pressure on their side will be greater."
Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun felt a little anxious. Seeing that the thirty-minute attack time agreed with the commander was coming soon, but there was no progress here. Once the main force of the Japanese army could not be attracted, Yang Zhen was bound to
Under unimaginable pressure.
Judging from the overall deployment of the Japanese army, although there are only two squadrons of the Japanese army there, there are still two full squadrons of Japanese troops behind them at the joint position between the rear and the main force of the 44th Regiment. Moreover, the cavalry No.
The Third Brigade is not like the 4th Division. Once they discover that the 44th Regiment is in danger, they will definitely send reinforcements as hard as they can.
If there is no progress on our side and we are unable to attract some of the Japanese troops stationed in the north, it will bring unimaginable pressure to Yang Zhen and Liu Changshun of the Second Regiment. They only have one regiment and are facing a flanking attack from two sides.
It will be extremely difficult.
Thinking of this, Guo Bingxun gritted his teeth and picked up the phone to call Wang Guangyu, who was launching a feint attack on Lin Fang's detachment and cutting off the communication between the 44th Regiment and Lin Fang's detachment.
As soon as the phone call came through, Guo Bingxun was not polite at all and said directly: "Old Wang, use part of your force to restrain Lin Fang's detachment. The main force immediately turned around and attacked the right wing of the 44th Regiment as quickly as possible. No matter what the cost,
No matter what the cost, we must attract some of the Japanese troops from the north. Within twenty minutes, I will hear you start."
"Yes, the mission given to you is not a feint attack. Now I don't care whether it is the main attack or the feint attack. Between you and Du Kaishan, whoever opens the Japanese defense first will be the main attack."
Hearing that Wang Guangyu had some doubts about his order and time was urgent, Guo Bingxun did not explain to him any more. He just told Wang Guangyu that your side should attack first and make a breakthrough first, and you will be the main attacker.
After giving the order to Wang Guangyu, Guo Bingxun wanted to get through Du Kaishan again, and said straight to the point: "Du Kaishan, are you okay? I have ordered Wang Guangyu to turn around in the shortest time and attack the flank of the 44th Regiment.
.If you can't do it, just retreat and let Wang Guangyu take over your main attack."
Du Kaishan's eyes turned red when he heard that Guo Bingxun had ordered Wang Guangyu to turn. After putting down the phone, he rushed to the artillery company position in person and said directly to Xu Yanhe, the regimental infantry artillery company commander: "The chief of staff has turned a regiment from
The Japanese right wing launched an attack. I will tell you directly what they came for. They came to steal the position of our main attack group."
"If they are allowed to break through the Japs' defense first, our main attack group will be doomed. How can we still hold our head high at that time? Can you give us a happy word today as to whether we can keep our position as the main attack team?
.Can you use artillery shells to send troops up to me?"
Du Kaishan's words made the two artillery company commanders blush. After a brief silence, Xu Yan gritted his teeth and said: "Commander, don't worry. Even if our two companies are exhausted, we will send the troops up this time.
The position of this main attacking group belongs to our third group, and no one can take it from us."
After saying that, Xu Yan turned to the infantry artillery company commander Qin Yishui and said: "Old Qin, your infantry artillery has a farther range than mine, and its direct-aiming accuracy is higher than that of my mortar. My mortar's movement is better than yours."
It is convenient and has a high shooting angle, which is suitable for such open-air fortifications. In this way, you use firepower to send my mortar company to the front, and I will support the infantry there. Damn it, I will risk everything and bring it down with all my strength."
Hearing this, Qin Yishui pondered for a moment and then said: "Old Xu, I think it's okay. Not only will your mortar company advance, but my infantry artillery will also advance. Look, three hundred meters in front and right of the Japs, they have been
Is there a ridge in the puppet Manchukuo position we captured? It is not high, only about half a meter high. Although we cannot overlook the entire Japanese position, it is facing the Japanese front line. After a while, my infantry artillery moved up.
There, I'll fire and cover you right there."
"But let's not act recklessly. Let's divide the work. Your mortar is relatively flexible, and you can suppress the Japanese grenades and light machine guns. My infantry cannon uses direct firepower to knock out the Japanese heavy machine guns. My infantry cannon
When I'm moving there, you fire to cover me. When I'm in position and the shooting starts, you move forward."
"The Japanese artillery has been knocked out. The biggest threats to us are grenade launchers and light and heavy machine guns. This grenade launcher in particular poses a great threat to our machine guns. As you just saw, several machine guns of the attacking troops were destroyed.
In the hands of these bastards. If we don't kill them, even if our troops rush forward and lose the cover of machine gun fire, it will be difficult to withstand the Japanese counterattack."
Both of them are straightforward and not procrastinating. Now that they have discussed it, there is nothing more to say and they immediately lead their respective troops into action.
Xu Yan led the mortar company to bayonet the infantry artillery, and under the cover of close-range fire regardless of the cost, under the Japanese firepower network, they forcibly moved to less than 200 meters away from the Japanese position. At the cost of Du Kaishan's assistance, Xu Yan
At the expense of the casualties of the regiment's engineer company, several temporary and crude fortifications were built using the few heavy machine gun bunkers on the original puppet Manchukuo army positions.
As soon as he arrived at the predetermined area, Xu Yan commanded the mortar company to fire like crazy. He seemed not to see the grenades fired from the grenades that exploded from time to time around him. As for the light and heavy machine gun bullets that seemed to be splashed out on the Japanese position, it was even more so.
He didn't care. Even at such a close distance, the shells fired by the cannon body at almost 90 degrees could fall on his head at any time, so he didn't care.
Xu Yan and Qin Yishui were so desperate, but the Japanese army couldn't stand it. The two worked together and had a clear division of labor. Except for the grenade, which was extremely simple to launch and difficult to find the launch point, the Japanese army was exposed to all The machine gun fortifications outside were almost knocked out one by one.
The opponent lost the support of machine guns, and the attacking troops suppressed by the Japanese firepower immediately took this opportunity to rush into the Japanese position. Using a large number of submachine guns and speed machines in their hands, they brought the three fierce tactics they usually trained to the extreme. The Japanese soldiers held up their Type 38 rifles with bayonets and wanted to use hand-to-hand combat tactics to drive out the opponents who rushed into their positions. The Japanese soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing the weapons spraying dense tongues of fire in the hands of his opponents knocking down his comrades in pieces, he had almost no room to fight back. Looking at the light and heavy machine gun positions on his side, the infantry artillery and forced assault rifles that had been pushed under his nose by the opponent were almost there. The artillery shells were destroyed one by one. The remaining Japanese troops, always known for their tenacity, finally couldn't withstand it.
After paying a price that was definitely not small, Du Kaishan finally defeated the front-line defense of the 44th Regiment. After breaking through the Japanese front-line position, Du Kaishan immediately transferred a battalion to replace the Jiandao Battalion, which was also almost crippled. , rapidly expanding into the Japanese military positions.
Seeing that the first-line position was broken through, the two squadrons on the front line suffered casualties. In order to stabilize the second-line position, with fierce fighting in the south, Colonel Taro Kawama had no choice but to transfer two squadrons from the northern line where the enemy had not yet been discovered. The infantry squadron and a heavy machine gun squadron filled in. Just when these squadrons rushed to the front position despite the artillery fire from the opposite side from time to time, trying to strengthen the defense of the second line of position, the originally calm northern line suddenly sounded a dense The sound of gunfire.
Hearing the sound of artillery on the northern front, Colonel Tsutsuki Taro Kawama couldn't help but froze. In an instant, he understood that he had been tricked. On the northern front, he was deploying the reinforced brigade of the 43rd Regiment. After sending out two infantry squadrons and one heavy machine gun squadron, there were only two infantry squadrons left in the north that could withstand the opponent's fierce attack? As for the puppet Manchukuo troops deployed in that direction, he no longer had any confidence.
This time the 11th Division dispatched troops to Qunceshan, except for the brigade reinforced by the 43rd Regiment, the main force was the 44th Regiment. The 44th Regiment's own four infantry brigades, in addition to taking over the In addition to the casualties of more than two squadrons paid by the Fourth Division after the attack, as well as the two squadrons deployed to the south and some of the troops that took over from the Eighth Regiment to protect their supply lines, the rest were in order to maintain pressure on the front line of Qunce Mountain. Mainly deployed on the front.
However, due to the constraints of the terrain, the 44th Regiment was deployed as a whole in echelons. There were not many troops in the front. Except for two squadrons on each of the first and second line positions, the rest of the troops were behind the headquarters. .However, although the opponent ended the large-scale artillery bombardment, they used some artillery pieces to form a duty artillery group. As long as they mobilized troops from behind to support forward, they would cover the reinforcement route with intensive firepower.
At the beginning of the crisis in the front-line position, in order to reinforce the front-line position and stabilize the second-line position, Lieutenant General Tsutsuki Taro Kawama had filled more than one squadron under this artillery group. He really did not dare to move troops from behind to fill it in. .If you continue to fill it out, you will not even have a reserve team in your hand.
Although the shelling included only an hour, and the actual contact between the two armies lasted only more than 20 minutes, although Du Kaishan's sharp knife battalion suffered heavy casualties, the two squadrons deployed by Taro Kawajana on the front line were also destroyed.
It was completely exhausted. Even when the opponent tried his best and concentrated all his firepower to hit hard, the second line of defense tended to collapse.
Tsutsutarou Kawama knew very well that once the second-line position also collapsed and the enemy in the south made a breakthrough, then the entire position of the 44th Regiment would be in danger of collapse. Even if Tsutsutarou Kawama was reluctant, he could only dismantle the east line.
The wall made up the west wall. But he never thought that his opponent would also ambush an ambush to the north of him.
Even if Taro Kawajama is slow and the battle has reached this point, he will know that he has fallen into a trap carefully designed by his opponent. Taking advantage of the opportunity to capture Jiamusi is purely a trick they used. They pretended to attack Jiamusi and defeated the Fourth Division.
The main force of the regiment was transferred back. After concentrating the troops to encircle, I was already considered to be alone. My opponent had really good intentions for me.
Taro Kawajama, who was dumbfounded by the intensive sound of gunfire from three sides, could not help but wonder: "How many troops do these Chinese people have? How could they fight more and more? Since they have already attacked Jiamusi with enough troops
Withdrawal, why is there no news from Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru?"
On the other side, Tsutsutarou Kagama, who was already tired of dealing with the frontal battle, was caught off guard by Yang Zhen's sudden attack and was in a panic. On the other side, Liu Changshun, who launched the attack on time, was able to defeat him quite smoothly.
Perhaps because of a tacit understanding, perhaps because of Yang Zhen's daily teachings, Liu Changshun, who launched the attack from the north half an hour later, adopted the same tactics as Du Kaishan. He concentrated a large number of automatic firearms, and under the cover of the approaching artillery,
Next, use close combat tactics as much as possible.
After all, the 75mm mountain cannon equipped by Liu Changshun is much lighter than the field artillery used as the main force of fire support. Although the range is not as good as the field artillery, the weight of the weapon is more important for fire support equipment when fighting in mountainous areas.
, rather than range.
Liu Changshun, who suffered a loss in Jiamusi, seemed much smarter this time. After the artillery completed the fire cover, he immediately blocked a mountain artillery battery from Qiu Jintang. Together with the infantry artillery and mortars, he formed several artillery detachments and used artillery.
The tactic of bayoneting and shooting at close range. Several artillery divisions cooperated to use their respective advantages in range and shooting angle to attack the Japanese firepower points and cover the infantry attack.
Since similar tactics had been used once in Jiamusi, the cooperation this time was quite skillful. Under the cover of artillery fire, the first wave of attacking troops easily defeated the puppet Manchukuo army's defense line and rushed directly into the Japanese army behind.
defensive position.
Unlike the front and the south, where relatively complete defenses have been prepared because of Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru's reminder before leaving and what happened when the main force of the Fourth Division withdrew, here, because the Japanese army had always been
In front of the offensive, there were defensive positions of the puppet Manchukuo army. Apart from a few simple warning positions, the Japanese army here did not even build defensive positions. They were directly exposed to the bare positions and passively suffered a beating.
After the two squadrons at the junction behind him were taken by Colonel Kawama to stabilize the frontal position, the remaining two squadrons were exposed to the bare position and suffered extremely heavy casualties under the firepower during that period. In fact,
He has lost his fighting power. Liu Changshun's fight here is actually very easy.
He did not expect that he could break through the frontal defense of the Japanese and puppet troops so easily, so Liu Changshun, who felt that he had tried his best but was hit with nothing, did not hesitate at all. Apart from leaving a battalion to block possible reinforcements from the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, Liu Changshun did not hesitate at all.
In addition, he did not leave any reserves and devoted all the troops at hand to the attack. He wanted to completely separate the 44th Regiment in the shortest possible time and according to the battle plan to prepare for the next step.
The 44th Regiment has laid a solid foundation for solving this problem.
