However, although the remnants of the 28th Regiment retreated to the Shaogen line, and he had a serious lack of troops on hand and could not launch a pursuit, it did not mean that Wang Deyao really let go of the last remnants of the 28th Regiment.
He also has a one-two-two rocket launcher battery on hand that has not been used.
The maximum range of the 122 rocket launcher is 20 kilometers. And Shaogen is only 18 kilometers away from here, which is within the optimal range of the 122 rocket launcher. Two salvos are enough to destroy the entire Shaogen, this Xilamu
It is covered by a small Mongolian market town on the north bank of the Lun River.
At this time, the 122 rocket launcher batteries were used to fire. First, it could kill the 28th Regiment to the maximum extent and completely give them the possibility to continue participating in the war. Not investing infantry does not mean that Wang Deyao completely gave up and left the remaining soldiers.
In his opinion, it was more cost-effective to use artillery shells to replace the few troops on hand and to deal with the remaining defeated soldiers of the 28th Regiment.
Another reason is that Wang Deyao obviously does not want his operation to encircle and annihilate the two squadrons of the Japanese army to be disturbed. The battlefield has not completely calmed down now. Once the remaining strength of the 28th Regiment is known, the number of combat troops on hand will be known.
There are not too many. No one is sure whether they will struggle to the death and be dispatched to rescue after reorganization.
Wang Deyao, who has been dealing with the Japanese army for many years, has never seen the Japanese army refuse to save them. He used the rocket launcher with the longest range to inflict heavy damage on them and completely eliminated the hope of rescuing the encircled troops.
This is the best solution once and for all.
Although the 122 rocket launcher has a long range, its accuracy is slightly worse. When the Japanese army retreated before, they not only retreated in scattered areas, but also retreated very quickly. At that time, firing would not only waste the shells but also not destroy many Japanese troops. Now since the 2nd rocket launcher
The remnants of the 18th Regiment have already assembled, and there are basically no fortifications on the Shaogen front line for them to hide.
Even if the remnants of the 28th Regiment that retreated there immediately rushed to repair the fortifications regardless of fatigue, they were too late. The speed of human movement is still far behind that of artillery shells. As for Shaogen, unfortunately, except for
There are almost no buildings except for a few adobe houses, so it is difficult to find a concealed fortification.
However, the 28th Regiment was afraid of being beaten and wanted to find a market town to defend, thinking that it would be safer to retreat to Shaogen, which was at least a market town on the map. However, they did not expect at all that there were so many people in this area.
Except for a few lamaseries and mansions of princes and nobles, most of the towns in the Western Manchuria Banner area, which is dominated by nomadic Mongolians, are temporary.
That is to say, when necessary, people trade here. But in normal times, there are no people here at all. Even here in Shaogen and in the entire Puppet Manchukuo Xing'anxi Province, Linxi and Kailu, where there are relatively large numbers of Han people living together.
Although there are few Han Chinese in the whole area.
This so-called Shaogen is just a small settlement composed of more than a dozen warehouses opened by Han people. But these dozen families were relocated as early as the Anti-Japanese Alliance captured the Aruhorqin Banner.
Gone. In other words, even if the remnants of the 28th Regiment retreat to Shaogen, except for a small number of adobe houses that cannot even withstand a 60-shell, there will be nothing that can be called a bunker for them to use.
.
If you don't take this opportunity to provide fire coverage, you will be sorry for yourself. While you are sick and will kill you, and there are not enough manpower, I can find something to help. Besides, he asked the rocket launcher company to fire another salvo after firing a salvo of anti-personnel explosive shells.
Fire bombs. In addition to using anti-personnel explosive bombs, set them on fire.
Although he still has two companies that he has not contacted, in Wang Deyao's view, even if they run to the wrong place again, they will not run to Shaogen, which is more than ten kilometers away from the battlefield. So he has nothing to worry about the slightly poor accuracy.
The rocket launcher will accidentally damage your own troops under the coverage of fire.
Since the two-pronged approach, this is what happened to the remnants of the 28th Regiment. Presumably, the remnants of the 28th Regiment, which retreated to Shaogen, will be unable to save themselves even if they see that their troops are weak. Not to mention rescuing those who were surrounded.
It is already very difficult for two squadrons to keep their own losses small.
After giving the order to carry out fire pursuit to the advancing 122 rocket launcher company, Wang Deyao turned his head and looked at the raging fires ignited by dozens of incendiary bombs on both sides of the Aomulun River.
Chen Zhiping, political commissar of the Second Regiment, who was leading the troops to join him, said: "Tell your regiment commander to resolve the battle as soon as possible. We can't delay any longer here."
"The artillery that has been gathered in should be used. Those artillery shells of yours are all left behind? If all the soldiers are destroyed by me, what is the use of only the artillery shells? If you surround them, you should call for artillery support from behind.
For artillery support from behind, use your regiment's artillery support when it's time to use it. In a word, do whatever it takes to reduce our own casualties and save our own time."
"There are people who are telling you to continue to contact the two infantry companies and a machine gun company that have not yet been concentrated. We must find them before we evacuate. No matter if there is only one platoon left, even if there is only one squad left
, you have to find them for me. I have never been in the habit of leaving my troops alone and walking away. If you are alive, I want to see people. If you are dead, you can find the body for me."
"How long has it been since the battle started, and your troops are so scattered? The gunfire has been ringing here for a long time. Have they not found a place yet, or have they been eaten by others? It has been more than two hours, and no one has been able to
When we are all assembled, how do you train the troops? Are the walkie-talkies provided to each company just a decoration?"
"Whether they have a platoon or a squad left, they will be found by me within half an hour. It's such a big battlefield. Li Mingqing attracted the main force of the Japanese army to fight there for a long time. Your troops are not fully equipped yet."
Gather it up. There are still troops that are herding sheep like this. Is this how you and your regimental commander, the two military and political officers, lead the troops?"
"And what's the matter with your regiment's chief of staff? He, the chief of staff, can't be found together with the troops he commanded. It's okay to say that the company and platoon cadres below came to a battlefield and disappeared. A dignified regiment's chief of staff
I can’t even find a place, what’s the point? Are you kidding me, or am I kidding myself?”
"I will give you another half hour to gather all the troops. If you can't gather them again, then there is no need for your regiment to continue to exist. I will report it to my superiors and cancel you directly.
The number of the regiment. The Anti-Japanese Alliance does not need an army like you that will become a mess if you give up. If this were in my old army, you, the regimental commander and political commissar, would stop doing this and go home and take care of your children."
Looking at Chen Zhiping, whose face was flushed with excitement from his own words. Wang Deyao snorted heavily and said nothing more. He raised his telescope and looked at the sky-high fire on the battlefield. Encirclement and annihilation were underway on the east bank of Zagastanol.
Went to observe the Japanese battlefield.
He was really dissatisfied with the performance of the Second Regiment today. If he was responsible for the previous chaos in the army, then after the all-out counterattack started, the Second Regiment has not yet been able to complete its entire assembly, and there are still several companies whose whereabouts are unknown.
, this is really unreasonable. Could it be that these companies were all eaten by the Japanese army?
I hope that the political commissar in front of me and the regiment leader they commanded at the front can understand their shame and be brave. They can find ways to find the troops that have not yet been gathered together as soon as possible. In previous battles, Wang Deyao, no matter how difficult the conditions, he
He has never left his subordinates alone. I hope he won't be damaged in this battle where he already has the upper hand.
If Chen Zhiping could bear it before, then Wang Deyao's last sentence of canceling the establishment of the regiment made Chen Zhiping lose his composure and his face turned red. If their troops were not led well, Chen Zhiping could still accept it. But to say
He couldn't accept the cancellation of the establishment no matter what.
Their regiment has recently completed its reorganization. Even among the newly established reserve units of the entire army, it was ranked last in the order of completion of reorganization. Before being transferred to the Linxi battlefield, this regiment had been fully reorganized for less than half a month.
He, the political commissar, and the regimental commander who was directing the battle at the front were both newly appointed.
It took longer for the regiment commander and chief of staff to take office, and he served as regimental commander from the time when the planned troops were assembled. As a political commissar, he was the last one among the five regiment-level cadres in the regiment to take office. The troops were airlifted to Lin
Xidu was about to get on the plane when he took office. It has only been less than five days since he took office today. It would be an exaggeration to say that he has not even gotten to know several company commanders.
Although the army has been reorganized and all the soldiers have completed training, the entire regiment has been organized for less than a month. Up to now, even a formal designation has not been determined, and there is only a temporary designation for the second regiment. Although it is a large
Some of the cadres and backbones are veterans. But most of the soldiers are new soldiers and have not participated in any battles.
In today's battle, the performance of some cadres and troops was indeed somewhat unsatisfactory. But overall, it was pretty good after all. At least the part commanded by Li Mingqing was no worse than some old troops.
Where to go? The performance of most of the remaining troops is at least average.
The combat experience of the army is accumulated bit by bit, and it does not mature all at once. If the designation is revoked, the designation will be revoked. Isn't this a bit unfair to this army? To everyone in this army
Cadres and soldiers, are they all too unfair?
No matter what kind of army it is, no matter what its designation is. Even if it is just a temporary designation, it will be revoked after only one month of formation. It is a great shame not only for this army, but also for the military and political officials.
That said, it is a stain that can never be erased in a lifetime.
If the designation of your unit was not revoked due to reorganization or organizational change, but was revoked in the name of disadvantage in combat. Then he, the political commissar, the regiment commander, and even all the cadres and soldiers of the regiment, have a
Even if you count, you will never think of raising your head in front of others in this life.
Looking at the back of the commander who obviously didn't want to hear his explanation, Chen Zhiping opened his mouth to explain something, but in the end he said nothing. The commander didn't want to hear the explanation, and it would be useless even if his mouth was worn out. If he couldn't do it in a short time
There is no use in changing the commander's view within the time limit, even if he temporarily changes his decision.
In fact, Chen Zhiping's beating was quite unjust. As soon as the battle started, he and a battalion were placed on the right flank of the battlefield by Wang Deyao. As soon as the battle started, he encountered two Japanese squadrons approaching one after another.
And he was the first of Wang Deyao's three battalions to encounter the Japanese army after he encountered them and divided his troops.
