Wang Guangyu chose the time to start the counterattack at midnight. For him, the decided counterattack time left him less than an hour to prepare. [.Com text] He must be there
Within an extremely limited time, we repeatedly thought and refined this counterattack plan in order to minimize casualties.
Yang Zhen already had the idea of moving the headquarters from Qunce Mountain to Xingshan Fortress. When Wang Guangyu received the order to take over the defense of Xingshan Fortress, he had already personally rushed to the north bank of the Nada River to convey the order to Li Yanping.
He got the news from his mouth. He knew that Yang Zhen attached great importance to Xingshan Fortress. Therefore, he was still a little hesitant about Wang Xiaoming's counterattack proposal.
But after knowing that the main force of Liu Changshun's second regiment was rushing back at night and night, and knowing that even if his troops would suffer heavy casualties during the counterattack, there would be follow-up troops to take over the defense of Xingshan Fortress, he made this decision.
Determined to fight a beautiful counterattack.
Although he had made up his mind, Wang Guangyu still did not dare to take risks. Wang Guangyu did not want to pay a high price because he knew that the chance of an accident was still very high when marching in the mountains at night. He did not know whether Liu Changshun could make it on time or not.
Rush back. He must be prepared that Liu Changshun will not be able to rush back on time.
Wang Guangyu did not distribute his troops evenly and adopted the tactics of combining frontal assault and flanking detours just mentioned by Wang Xiaoming. Instead, he adopted a frontal feint attack to attract the attention of the Japanese army, and at the same time used the two most complete battalions on hand to attack the Japanese army.
A tactic of attacking fiercely on the flanks to separate the Japanese army in the shortest possible time.
Through previous careful observation of the Japanese army's positions, Wang Guangyu found that although the Japanese army deployed defensive forces on two flanks, the number of troops was not large, with an average of only one infantry squadron. If he invested the main force on the Japanese flanks, he should be able to
Relatively large progress has been made in the shortest possible time.
At midnight, after half a day of rapid march, they attacked for most of the day without any rest and launched more than ten consecutive charges. Even though the Japanese army has always been known for its tenacity, at this time, they were exhausted both mentally and physically.
pole.
By the time Wang Guangyu was ready to counterattack, most of the people on the Japanese position, except for the sentries, had already fallen asleep. For these veterans who were recruited again, they knew how to fall asleep as soon as possible. Although maybe
Half a year or even a few months ago, they might have been playing geisha in Ginza, Tokyo.
Not long after most of the Japanese troops fell asleep, the front line of Guanmenzuizi Mountain, which had just calmed down, suddenly heard intensive artillery fire again. When the first wave of shells hit their heads, the Japanese troops who were still sleeping were bombed.
It was a mess.
During the artillery bombardment, those who bore the brunt of the attack were the artillerymen who had never moved their position since the offensive began in the afternoon because the opponent had never fired a single counterattack shell. The artillery had already been firmly locked in the afternoon and evening battles.
The four mountain cannons of the 108th Regiment Artillery Squadron, which was showing off its majestic power, were blown up into the sky as soon as the cannon sounded.
Not only did the Japanese mountain artillery squadron suffer heavy losses, but the shells that exploded on its position also implicated the mortar squadron connected to it. Before Li Rui could turn his muzzle to the position of this independent mortar squadron, the Japanese mountain artillery position
The exploding shells dragged most of the squadron of Japanese mortars onto the road.
Although only one-third of several mortars were lost in the violent explosion, with two-thirds of the artillerymen blown into the sky, this mortar squadron, like the mountain artillery, was able to survive in the shortest time.
Within a short period of time, they lost their right to speak. In other words, as soon as Wang Guangyu's counterattack began, the Japanese army lost most of its fire support.
Including Wang Guangyu, no one on either side would have thought that Wang Xiaoming would achieve maximum damage from artillery fire in order to ensure that he would counterattack this time. In the previous battles, no matter how great the pressure was, no matter how critical the situation was, even he himself
Several times during the front-line charge, no artillery was used.
Whether it was the mountain artillery battery that Liu Changshun left for him, or the regiment-affiliated mortars and infantry guns, in the previous battles, silence was golden, not even a single shell was fired. Until this time
He fought back and took out all his wealth. His tenacity is evident. No wonder Yang Zhen once thought of using him to replace Liu Changshun.
Seeing that the artillery strikes had played the greatest role these artillery pieces could play, Wang Guangyu, who had already learned the details of the previous battle from Meng Ziming, could not help but lament the tenacity of his old comrade and his long-term thinking.
Under the almost crazy fire cover of the artillery that had been suppressed for most of the day, Wang Guangyu broke through the flank defense line of the 108th Regiment that was blinded at the first time, and advanced toward the core position of the 108th Regiment.
They forced their way through and tore the Japanese positions into pieces with a fierce offensive.
Meng Ziming, who was commanding the frontal attack, saw that Wang Guangyu had torn through the Japanese defense line and penetrated into the depth of the Japanese position. He commanded the patchwork troops he had originally used to feign an attack and changed his original plan and used the feint attack.
It became the main attack.
When the beaten and dazed Colonel Katsaki Matsuno came to his senses, he found that his position had been thrown into chaos by his opponent's sudden counterattack. And most of the artillery he was once proud of had been restored together with the artillery.
Component.
Although he lost almost all artillery support and his position was torn into pieces by the opponent's fierce offensive, Colonel Katsuaki Matsuno showed no fear and commanded all the Japanese troops around him who could gather to attack without hesitation.
At the foot of Guanmenzuizi Mountain, on the open land where the Japanese Third Cavalry Brigade was once buried, a large group and a half of Japanese troops and two battalions of anti-Japanese armed forces were illuminated by the smoke of flares fired almost costlessly by both sides.
On the snow-white battlefield, a hand-to-hand combat of unprecedented scale broke out.
In the melee, all the artillery fire was useless. Both sides used bayonets, gun handles, shovels, wooden clubs, and even fists and teeth to try every means to end the other side's life. If the bayonet was broken, it was just a matter of gun handles.
After breaking the handle of the gun, use your fists and teeth to greet the opponent.
The submachine gunner even used up all the bullets in the gun chamber, and before he had time to change the magazine, he simply swung the submachine gun in his hand as a brick. From time to time, some of the wounded soldiers on both sides were knocked down, and the wounded soldiers who were stabbed fired the grenades on their bodies.
Take one or several opponents with you on the road.
At this time, the two armies who were fighting in a chaotic group had thrown aside all tactics and had only one purpose, which was to knock down and kill the opponent. Compared with the Japanese army who strictly followed the instructions and fired the bullets from their guns before the melee, the battle was
They fired from time to time and were equipped with a large number of submachine guns and speed machines. Wang Guangyu's men took advantage of the melee.
In addition to these two close-combat weapons, Wang Guangyu, who had planned to fight like this for a long time, gave each soldier twenty rounds of specially modified bullets that had worn away the armor on the warheads, revealing the lead core inside.
Compared with the original 38-type rifle bullets, although the penetrating power of this kind of bullet is greatly weakened, the lethality is greatly increased. When it hits a person, it is no longer one shot in two eyes, but one shot.
When it comes out, there is a big hole.
If you are lucky enough not to have your internal organs turned into a mess by this kind of bullet, congratulations, even if you are still alive, you will have lost at least half a kilogram of meat.
Wang Guangyu's move was taught to him by Wang Xiaoming, and Wang Xiaoming learned this move from an old brother who broke out from the Japanese germ warfare base with Yang Zhen, that is, the battalion commander who died. It was also used.
With only two light machine guns left, Wang Xiaoming was able to repel the Japanese army's last skirmishing attack, which even reached five lines.
Using every possible means, the Japanese soldiers were the ones who fell the most in this hand-to-hand battle. Not only were more than half of the corpses and wounded on the ground were Japanese soldiers, but it was the Japanese soldiers who were the first to be unable to withstand it.
These Japanese troops, who were recruited again after recovery and are now special divisions formed by veterans with their families, are not as tough as those veteran Japanese divisions. In the nearly hour-long hand-to-hand battle, Wang Guangyu almost lost his temper.
After wiping out most of the Japanese troops in a brigade at the cost of two companies, the resistance of the 108th Regiment could no longer hold up and finally collapsed.
After a bloody hand-to-hand battle two hours after Wang Guangyu launched the attack, the 108th Regiment, which could not resist Wang Guangyu's seemingly life-threatening attack, was divided into two unrelated areas of different sizes.
.And Meng Ziming, who pressed down from the front, also drove a big wedge into one of the only two remaining territories of the Japanese army.
Although most of the troops of a Japanese brigade were wiped out and the first combat goal was accomplished, although one of the two companies lost was a miscellaneous company composed of rescued prisoners of war, Wang Guangyu still felt distressed.
I almost didn't shed a tear.
He only had two battalions of troops. Even if he added the troops left by Wang Xiaoming, he could only fight back to the original size of his troops. Although he thought of many ways to annihilate the enemy at the minimum cost, this
In one fell swoop, most of the camp was wiped out.
Wang Guangyu, who did not want to suffer further casualties, moved forward all the artillery that Wang Xiaoming had left for him. He adopted the tactic of attaching bayonets to the cannons, approaching the Japanese firepower points one by one. At the same time, he used all the captured gasoline.
, adopted what Du Kaishan did on the front line of Qunce Mountain and attacked with fire.
When a large number of logs poured with gasoline and oil barrels filled with gasoline were ignited from high places and pushed to the Japanese position under the cover of artillery fire, and rolled away the lives of many Japanese soldiers along the way.
, Matsuno Oakikatsu realized how important the hillock that he had thrown away at the beginning of the war, which was originally a warning position, was to him now.
Seeing his subordinates being burned to death, the light and heavy machine guns used as cover fire were almost knocked out by the opponent's direct-aimed artillery. He broke through several times but was beaten back by the opponent's intensive firepower. He knew that if he didn't break through, there would be only death waiting for him.
Colonel Matsuno Akatsuki of Ichijo lost his always proud calmness.
To this day, he still can't understand why he defeated an entire regiment of his opponent's division in the Kansai battlefield. Why did he end up like this in less than a day? Colonel Matsuno looked at the troops around him.
The opponent's fire attacks mixed with precise artillery fire were getting fewer and fewer. He gritted his teeth and led the last relatively complete squadron to launch a desperate attack on the opponent's position.
The direction of his attack was not Xingshan Street behind him, but Guanmenzuizi Mountain in front of him, which cost him heavy losses. In his opinion, even if an imperial man fell, he could only fall in the direction of the attack.
.As a soldier of the Japanese Empire, you must never allow yourself to be killed by a bullet fired from behind.
Seeing Matsuno Oakisho coming to his door, how could Wang Guangyu be polite to him? He concentrated a large number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars on the front line, creating a real fire net at a distance of 200 meters in front of his position.
.Every Japanese soldier who tried to break through this fire net was beaten into a hornet's nest by the dense rain of bullets.
Seeing the desperate struggle of the Japanese army in front of him, Wang Guangyu put down the telescope in his hand and looked at the morning star that was gradually rising on the horizon. He shook his head slightly and said nothing. Even his subordinates proposed to suspend the attack, which meant to persuade them to surrender.
, which can be regarded as a request to deal with the commander-in-chief's request, but he did not receive an answer.
Because he has been dealing with the Japanese army for several years, he knows that these Japanese soldiers who have been brainwashed by the so-called Bushido spirit will never put down their weapons. Persuading them to surrender is almost an impossible task for them. Since these people
They all have granite heads, so let them take their granite heads to meet their Amaterasu.
After the last Japanese soldier in the largest encirclement circle fell, Wang Guangyu came to the dead body of Colonel Matsuno, which had been blown into two pieces by a mortar shell, and looked at the corpse that could not close his eyes even after death.
The guy with wide eyes still said nothing.
After Wang Guangyu moved his eyes away from Matsuno Colonel's body, he turned his attention to the subordinates who he had managed to put together a company led by Meng Ziming, as well as the five hundred miscellaneous soldiers who were less than 700 meters away from here.
The two to three hundred were mainly wounded and were the last remaining Japanese troops of the 108th Regiment.
Regarding the last two to three hundred wounded Japanese soldiers, Wang Guangyu hesitated for a moment, but still firmly issued an attack order to Meng Ziming. Wang Guangyu gave Meng Ziming half an hour to deal with the last remnants of the Japanese army. Because
He had already heard the faint sound of gunfire coming from the direction of the mountain pass. He knew that Wang Xiaoming would fight hard over there and would not leave him much time.
