In fact, Yasuhiro Takada had no way to deal with these simple fortifications made of stone. As Yang Zhen expected, in this long-distance attack and restricted by the roundabout route terrain, although the Japanese and puppet troops did not carry mountain artillery, they still found a way.
It carried two Type 92 infantry guns and two mortars.
These Type 92 infantry guns and mortars were dismantled into parts and carried over by Japanese soldiers. It must be said that the hard-working spirit of the Japanese soldiers is no less than that of the Chinese army. The terrain on the circuitous route is so complicated that in many places it is almost
There was no road, so the infantry guns and mortars were carried over on their shoulders.
Of course, this is also related to the relatively light weight of these two types of artillery. The heaviest 92 infantry gun weighs only 200 kilograms, and the heaviest parts when disassembled are only a few dozen kilograms. If a three-gun is given to the Japanese
Even if the Type 8 field artillery is disassembled, the hundreds of kilometers from Chifeng to here are all covered by mountain roads, and there are even no mountain roads in some places. They can only march along the ridges. No matter how tough the character of the Japanese artillerymen is, they may have to
Tired and vomiting blood.
Although the number of artillery shells carried is not too many, the number is still enough to destroy these walls. This kind of upward firing can be used as a howitzer, and the flat firing can be used as a light artillery cannon. Although the caliber is only 70 mm, it is still effective against real reinforced concrete fortifications.
It's a bit difficult. But for these walls made of stone and soil, the power is still enough.
I just didn’t know that Major Yasuhiro Takada’s nerves were miswired. Even though they were hiding on the ridge of the mountain where he was, the two infantry cannons that could completely destroy the defenders’ fortifications were not allowed to be used. They were only allowed to use it.
During the battle, use light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers to provide fire support.
How can a crooked light machine gun, a Type 92 heavy machine gun and a grenade penetrate a stone wall? With this relatively strong fortification and Yasuhiro Takada's weapons, I don't know what to do.
His crazy behavior of secretly causing trouble, coupled with the proper use of tactics, the attacking Japanese and puppet troops suffered a bloody blow, so it is understandable.
Major Yasuhiro Takada is quite dissatisfied with the current war. Naturally, he will not admit that the fighting power of the defenders is very strong. Because for him, who is arrogant, there is no army in the world that can compete with the fighting power of the army.
Compared with the Imperial Japanese Army where he belonged.
As for the weapons and equipment of the defenders, he paid no attention to those dilapidated old-fashioned rifles that had been produced since the last century. Of course, the defenders had to cleverly use the limited equipment on hand under the condition of inferior weapons.
He formed an effective tactical combination and brought a lot of casualties to himself, which he appreciated very much.
As for other problems, they are not major problems in his opinion. In his opinion, the reason for the failure of these three raids is naturally on Cui Sihu's plainclothes team. In Takada Yasuhiro's view, it was the cowardice of the plainclothes team who led the attack.
Only three attacks failed before.
Although for a person like him who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals, he doesn't care about the casualties of the Japanese army, not to mention the casualties of the plainclothes team. But for him now, what he needs most now is time. In the third assault
After the defeat, Yasuhiro Takada turned to Cui Sihu with great dissatisfaction and said: "Cui Jun, your plainclothes team is ineffective in the battle. This cannot continue."
"If your plainclothes team continues to cower and delay the progress of the war, I will take all necessary means to allow you and your men to regain the confidence to fight. Remember the battle we are here at this time, Commander
Your Excellency, and even the Kwantung Army Headquarters are paying close attention. If the battle that determines the entire battle in Rehe is lost due to your subordinates, you will face the stern measures of the independent garrison and even the Kwantung Army Headquarters.
punish."
Cui Sihu was deeply distressed by the heavy casualties suffered by his close confidants. Yasuhiro Takada's threatening words made the corners of his mouth twitch. Especially Yasuhiro Takada's way of putting all the blame on himself made him even more worried.
Angry. It just made him and Takada Yasuhiro publicly fall out. He didn't have the courage anyway.
But he doesn't dare to fall out, and he has to fight for what he should fight for. Cui Sihu thinks that his biggest advantage is that in addition to being aware of current affairs, he also knows how to fight for favorable conditions for himself. Although he is a horse bandit
He was born in China and did not receive formal military education, but after all, he also fought in the regular army for a period of time.
Although the Northeastern Army stationed in Rehe was not a direct descendant of that young marshal. Under the rule of the original King of Rehe who only focused on making money and did not care about anything else, the Northeast Army had long since served as an elite army.
They were reduced to a semi-bandit force with almost no fighting capacity other than to scare the common people. But they were still regular troops after all, and there were many officers who graduated from the Northeastern Martial Arts Hall. He still knew some basic tactics.
To say that these three attacks failed, apart from some reasons, he believed that the most important point was the stone wall outside the north of the village which was used as the main defense by the defenders. He was a native of Rehe and a robber.
As a horse bandit, he is certainly familiar with the typical mountain village dwellings in the Northeast.
In today's Northeast, including Rehe, which is already outside the mouth, ordinary people in mountain villages rely on the mountains to use stones when building their houses, and build a wall outside their houses to surround their residences to prevent the invasion of wild beasts.
Anyway, there are plenty of rocks to support the mountain. As long as you put in some labor, it costs almost nothing to build a wall using local materials.
These walls are made of granite or river pebbles. Both in terms of strength and thickness, they are definitely no less than ordinary reinforced concrete fortifications. The defenders are currently connecting the courtyards around the entire village.
Apart from leaving a few passages in and out of the village, he did not spend much effort to build himself a defensive position that could be said to be quite strong.
In addition, the front of the attack is too narrow. In this case, even if the defenders' firepower is not strong, it will be difficult to attack in a short time. Of course, if there are artillery, that is a different matter. Machine guns and grenades
Although the cannon can't penetrate these stone walls, the artillery has absolutely no problem.
Thinking of this, Cui Sihu looked back and saw two Type 92 infantry cannons that were deployed behind him behind the ridge of the mountaintop, but had remained silent since the battle started. He said with a charming smile: "Major Takada, fight
Going into the village is actually not too difficult."
"Although these Tubal roads have strong walls that can be used as defensive positions, I still know how strong these walls made of stones and soil are. Although they can prevent our machine gun fire, they are not protective for our artillery.
It's very limited. If you use artillery and launch continuous attacks, I think it won't be a problem to penetrate."
Regarding Cui Sihu's suggestion to use artillery now, Takada Yasuhiro refused without thinking: "Cui Jun, our long-distance attack this time, although we relied on the unnecessary and fearless spirit of the imperial warriors, we carried
There were several infantry guns and mortars, but our army did not carry many artillery shells this time."
"You are a native of Rehe, and you should be very familiar with the terrain of the imperial army's march route. It is already a great feat to be able to carry these 92 infantry guns and mortars on such a rugged mountain road.
An amazing thing. But the number of artillery shells is not too many. Therefore, these artillery can only be used at the most critical time. And now it is still far away from the most critical time."
"And the failure of the first three attacks was not due to how tough the opponent was or how solid the fortifications were. It was mainly due to the failure of your subordinates to fight well. Cui Jun, I hope you can show the spirit of a warrior and don't let down
Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, has placed your trust in you. You can go down from the mountain to personally supervise the battle and urge your subordinates to launch an attack."
At this point, Yasuhiro Takada no longer looked at Cui Sihu, but waved his hand casually. The two Japanese soldiers behind him stood directly behind Cui Sihu with bayonets fixed on their Type 38 rifles. The meaning is very clear, if you don't go down the mountain by yourself
, we will send you down the mountain with bayonets.
Looking at the two sharp bayonets behind him, Cui Sihu wanted to give himself a few big mouths at this time. According to his previous plan, he created some chaos behind these Tubal Road, so that the Japanese could take advantage of it. Isn't it very good?
Okay? Why is it that when I am so full and full, I have to report my discovery of an important target, only to attract this murderer?
Cui Sihu is very clear about his current status in the hearts of the Japanese. Don't look at the fact that he has not provided information to the Japanese independent garrison in Jehol and the senior Japanese police officers in the police department, and has not sacrificed his life for them. But that is based on his respect for the Japanese army.
On the basis that the Japanese listen to their words and serve them.
Once I fall out with this major, let’s not talk about whether this guy can let me go. Even if he can, he will definitely be the one who will be unlucky when he goes back. In their hearts, the Japanese still don’t believe in themselves. Since the Japanese occupied the country in 1933,
Since the river, how many people like me have died at the hands of the Japanese just because the Japanese became suspicious? How many have even died inexplicably?
If nothing else, wasn't it because the Japanese lost trust in his predecessor in the detective team that he was arrested by the Japanese and sent to the military police station and never came out? The family members of the deceased only had a handful of the ashes of someone who didn't know who they were.
, nothing was gained. For people like me, the basis of survival is the trust of the Japanese. If you lose the trust of the Japanese, it would be good to have a good death.
Even if the Japanese want to spare themselves a life because they have worked hard for many years and cracked down a large number of anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese organizations for them, but the Communist Party, which has killed so many people, can the Kuomintang let them go?
His hands were not only stained with the blood of the Communist Party, but also many Kuomintang agents and intelligence officers died on his hands.
The intelligence station of the Kuomintang Central Commander and Military Commander in Rehe was cracked by himself the year before last. From the station commander to ordinary spies, hundreds of people died at his hands. If he did not have the trust of the Japanese, he would not be able to do anything.
If they are armed, how can the Kuomintang and the Communist Party eat themselves alive? For Cui Sihu, preserving his own strength means preserving his lifeblood.
But when it came to the multiple-choice question of preserving his own strength or preserving his own life, Cui Sihuxue finally chose to protect his own life. For a person like him, as long as he saves his life, he has everything. If his life is gone, then...
There is nothing left. For them, everything is valuable, but the price of life is higher. For people like them, where life comes first, followed by glory and wealth, every step is carefully calculated.
