c_t; Unless like today, the attacking troops first penetrate into the Japanese fortifications inside the mountain and attack from the inside out. Visit:. Otherwise, the attacking troops will face the danger of the entire army being destroyed if they are not careful. The breach will be opened
, will also be cut off because of the backup, and then be closed all at once.
However, Su Yingqi's command now has a great advantage. Although the remaining Japanese troops in the mountain are still resisting, most of the Japanese fortification groups have been captured. Most of the machine guns deployed by the Japanese troops here have been completely captured. Only the ammunition
Several hundred thousand rounds of ammunition were seized, enough to last for a while. There were also two rapid-fire cannons, a twenty-five-pound field cannon, and more than a hundred rounds of artillery shells.
These firepower points built by the Japanese army with the firing direction directed inward, and most of the firepower deployed, have now become ready-made fortifications for Su Yingqi to block the Japanese counterattack. But having ready-made fortifications to rely on is just the reason why Su Yingqi changed his plan.
one.
After arriving at the top of the hill and inspecting the deep terrain of the Japanese army, the reason that made Su Yingqi change his determination was not limited to this. The altitude of this hill is not high, and the mountain is not very steep, but it is within a radius of more than ten kilometers.
The commanding heights. After losing this place, it is strange that the Japanese army fought desperately to recapture it in order to ensure the safety of the depth.
And if you voluntarily give up such a favorable position, when the total force does not have an advantage and the Japanese army must concentrate its forces to recapture it, to fight a "melee" battle with the Japanese army, it is just because you are full.
Once the superior Japanese army disrupts the organization of the troops, the unlucky one will be himself.
During the battle, the troops should be deployed randomly and change according to the situation. During the battle, according to the changes of the situation, they should be dispersed, combined and retracted freely to find the enemy's most lethal point. When it is time to adjust the battle plan,
Absolutely no ambiguity, no hesitation, and adjustment according to the actual situation is his commanding style.
And this is also the most classic place for the Eighteenth Group Army in Guan Nei to develop in the few years of guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. When it comes, it is like mercury falling on the ground, and when it comes back, it goes with the flow. However, this command style has a strict organization of the troops.
The requirements are very high. Because once the troops are scattered and cannot be gathered when needed, the development of the entire war situation will be delayed.
Just kidding, the troops are herding sheep while fighting, and when they need to shrink, they are scattered everywhere. How can the battle be fought? Therefore, this kind of combat requires more sensitivity and judgment on the part of the commander.
High. Because of activities and operations, once there is a slight failure in adjusting tactics and analyzing the battle situation, there is a risk of the entire army being destroyed.
Yang Jicai went deep alone this time, and it was precisely because of this that he asked his troops to come over. For Yang Jicai, the three main regiments of the 17th Division have enough combat power. [Full Episode Download] But the key is this
It is the person who leads the team, not the combat effectiveness of the troops. Yang Jicai, who knows his own weaknesses in this battle, wants a commander who is not rigid and flexible.
Su Yingqi's calculation was quite accurate. His troops had just gained a foothold on this hill with three hills. The Japanese troops in depth had already launched a counterattack quickly under the cover of artillery fire behind them. Even when his troops had just stood up,
As soon as we climbed the mountain, the Japanese army's deep counterattack fire had already hit us.
Faced with the surprisingly fast reaction speed of the Japanese army, Su Yingqi did not hesitate and immediately mobilized two platoons to quickly enter the mountain along the external passage that had been found. The reconnaissance company that had already penetrated in immediately moved to the spot.
Open fire to block the Japanese counterattack.
As for the large number of machine guns and bullets stored in the Japanese army's fortifications in this hilly area with three hills, except for some of them, the rest were transferred on the spot, and the Japanese machine gun firepower points were used to deploy the "deal"
The cross-shooting situation, combined with the troops that had already rushed down the mountain, blocked the Japanese army.
At the same time that the deep Japanese counterattack artillery fire fell on Su Yingqi's position, the Japanese troops on the front line of Mandetang also mobilized their entire army to quickly reinforce here. The distance of two kilometers did not take long for the Japanese and puppet troops.
The time will come. It is obvious that the Japanese army in front of them is going to adopt the tactics of attacking from the front and back to directly surround and annihilate Su Yingqi's troops here.
Su Yingqi, who had long expected this move, deployed all three strengthened 14mm high-altitude machine guns to the front to meet the Japanese counterattack across the board. However, he placed the reconnaissance company inside the three fortifications and captured ten
All the British Vickers heavy machine guns among the remaining heavy machine guns were carried out and placed in advance on the anti-slope positions on both sides of the road.
Although he has never used this British heavy machine gun, Su Yingqi, who has used the Maxim machine gun from the same family as it, knows that this kind of machine gun that uses a bullet belt to feed ammunition is superior in terms of firepower sustainability and rate of fire.
It is much better than the Japanese 92 heavy machine gun. It can be used by two people on a fixed position.
Su Yingqi deployed this machine gun on the terraces on both sides of the road in order to use the high firepower and sustained firepower of this machine gun, as well as the extremely high rate of fire, to kill the front-line reinforcements of Mandetang in the shortest possible time.
The Japanese army was repulsed. Of course, Su Yingqi also knew very well that with the technical and tactical level of the Japanese army, it would be difficult to annihilate them all even with insufficient troops.
What he wants is not total annihilation, because he does not have that many troops to deal with the Japanese army, whose main force is only a squadron. What he wants is to kill the Japanese army as much as possible and defeat the Japanese army's willpower.
Just make it unable to pose a threat to yourself.
During the deployment, Su Yingqi's rich experience accumulated from fighting guerrillas in the pass played a great role at this time. He knew that the long-term dispersed garrison force of the Japanese army in Mandetang had a long-term combat effectiveness as a field division, especially
Because there was a huge gap between his will to fight and his tenacity on the battlefield, he didn't even think about coming into contact with the Japanese army.
There was only one way he could use his superior firepower to directly beat the Japanese troops until they had a psychological collapse, and then retreat voluntarily. Of course, in order to reduce future troubles, he still had to do his best to inflict maximum damage on them, so as not to endanger himself and the front.
When the Japanese army was fighting, they were faced with some unnecessary threats behind them.
The two platoons sent out for reinforcements received only one order, which was to shoot out all the bullets as quickly as possible. If the Japanese army was defeated, they were not allowed to attack or pursue. In a word, they were to scare these guys away.
At the same time, just inflict maximum damage on them.
When the entire Japanese army in Mandetang was dispatched, with the cooperation of a squadron of puppet troops, rapid reinforcements were sent here. The reinforcements followed Su Yingqi's instructions and let go of the leading scouts. They concentrated all their firepower on the Japanese army.
The follow-up brigade was mainly composed of Japanese troops.
As the two flares rose at the same time, all the machine gun bullets that were like splashing water were fired at the reinforcements of one squadron of the Japanese and puppet troops. In addition to the two 120mm mortars, two
The artillery group consisting of one 82 mortar and four 60 mortar fired six rapid shots. After only one round, the Japanese and puppet troops from Mandetang came to reinforce
Among them, the Japanese troops who were the key targets suffered more than half of their casualties.
This Japanese army has been transferred to Chanan many times to participate in the mopping up of base areas behind enemy lines. Perhaps because they have more experience in being beaten, they act much more cautiously than the average Japanese army. During reinforcements, the puppet troops were even released
They were in the front, and the marching formation was spread out. When they were hit by fire, more casualties were caused by the puppet troops.
But they did not expect that the anti-alliance troops were different from the internal troops they encountered before. They let go of the puppet troops walking in front and focused their firepower directly on them. As for the puppet army squadron walking in front
, only one squad was sent to deal with it.
The six machine guns fired with crossfire without hesitation of bullets, so that the Japanese troops behind them spent these few minutes in a hail of bullets. It was a pity that the Anti-Japanese Alliance reinforcements were limited.
It was impossible to encircle this Japanese army. Although the reinforcement firepower deployed by the Anti-Japanese Alliance was quite fierce, the shortcomings of insufficient troops were irreparable. Fortunately, this Japanese army, which was already quite experienced in being beaten, and the Japanese army of the Japanese field division, indeed
There were some differences, too, in terms of willpower. Facing the fierce firepower, the resistance of this Japanese army was very weak. Basically, they did not launch a desperate charge, but chose to lie on the ground and shoot at them.
After barely holding on for a few more minutes, the few remaining puppet troops collapsed on the spot, and the Japanese army itself plummeted to a small group. This group of Japanese puppet troops did not dare to fight at all, and immediately retreated as quickly as possible.
Not even the dead bodies and wounded were taken away.
After the Japanese and puppet reinforcements in the direction of Mandetang were defeated, Su Yingqi left one of the two platoons behind and strengthened two Vickers machine guns to continue monitoring the southwest direction. The other platoon, with all machine guns, immediately reinforced
Go to the frontal front and cooperate with the main force to block the Japanese army's desperate counterattack.
After inexplicably losing the commanding heights in the northeast, Major General Kenkichi Ikegami, the leader of the Japanese 9th Mixed Brigade in Kangbao City, was obviously unable to sit still. He was making every effort to deal with the offensive launched by the Anti-Japanese Alliance from the southeast.
, and he continued to penetrate from the front and laid many nails in his depth with penetration attacks.
He never thought that the enemy would rush out from behind him and join the 110th Division. He never thought that the underground fortifications he had painstakingly built in the southeast of Mandetang by taking advantage of the favorable terrain there would be so short.
time is lost.
What's more serious is that what is lost there is not just a fortification group. After being transferred to two brigades and forced to shrink due to helplessness, I can overlook my entire defense zone, the commanding heights in the northeast, and the entire Kangxi area.
The barrier to the north of the city.
If the enemy puts artillery there, its artillery shells can not only hit Kangbao City directly, but its artillery group can even block all movements of Japanese troops in the entire defense area. At the same time, the movement of troops throughout the depth of the defense cannot be concealed at all.
The eyes of the enemy. In other words, if it is lost there, its overall defense system will be unsecured.
The most fatal thing is that if this place is lost, the entire northern defense line is not just as simple as losing the barrier and the commanding heights. The entire defense line is equivalent to a big gap being opened. Once the Anti-Japanese Alliance invests a large amount of troops and launches a counterattack from there, the entire defense line will be destroyed.
There is a possibility that the northern defense line will completely collapse.
In order to regain this crucial commanding heights and the northern barrier, Major General Kenkichi Ikegami immediately adjusted his deployment. He changed his previous tactics of fighting against the anti-alliance attack forces and immediately reduced his troops in the southeast direction, giving up the front and southern lines.
Some unnecessary strongholds diverted the main energy from the south to Su Yingqi's troops in the north.
In order to recapture this strategic point, Major General Ikegami Kenkichi committed an entire brigade of the 38th Infantry Battalion and concentrated 70% of all artillery fire in his hands. Commanded by the brigade captain Kiyono Saburo, he launched an all-out counterattack at Su Yingqi's location.
.
Two infantry squadrons were mobilized to launch attacks from the Fourth Section and Zhangyoufang respectively, and besiege Su Yingqi's headquarters on three sides. Major General Kenji Ikegami's idea was very simple, which was to take advantage of the small number of anti-alliance troops that had penetrated.
In the shortest possible time, we must destroy this resistance alliance in one go and regain this strategically important place.
