This is also the reason why he urgently revised the original rough plan after taking over the temporary command of the heavy artillery force from Qiu Jintang. This is also why there was no response to the calls from Yi Jianping and Qiu Jintang behind him, even in disguise.
The reason why Qiu Jintang was deprived of the right to command his troops.
Of course, it has something to do with his previous plan, which was not mature at all and was not even a draft. He came up with the current plan only after careful consideration. But Yang Jicai himself knew very well that this plan was easy to
Jianping would not agree at all.
Because the reason is very simple, Yang Jicai used himself as a bait to induce the Japanese army to invest more troops here. Yi Jianping would never accept his approach, especially as a relatively important individual combatant.
The military commander in charge of the direction should take such a risk. Not to mention Yi Jianping, even if he were replaced by any other superior, he would not agree easily.
Once the two leaders at the back lose their composure and go beyond themselves to issue orders and start the battle in advance, won't all their hard work be in vain? Although they will be safe that way, all their hard work will be in vain.
, let alone inflict heavy damage on the Seventh Division.
Because the Japanese army is not an idiot. They knew you had set up a trap with artillery shells, but they still had the guts to get into it. If the direction of Shizhui was breached before, even if Yi Jianping had already proposed the possible deployment and plan of his superiors, Yang Jicai still planned to
After Su Yingqi withdrew to Bayannuoer, he spent a day fighting to see the situation.
But in the current situation, whether he is willing or not, this plan must be advanced. Although the direction of Shizuishi is not as important as Bala Qirude and Aohan Yingzi in terms of the overall defense line, every element of each line of defense cannot be compared.
A position has a front and flanks.
The direction of the stone table is exactly containing the flanks of Bala Qirud's front line. When the Japanese army broke through here, it was not only Bala Qirud's flanks, but also Sumoyantara and the people who controlled Bala Qirud in his depth.
Sararutala in Germany's rear. If we still fight according to the original plan, then I am afraid that the entire direction will collapse in less than half a day.
Because without depth and lack of mobile troops, Yang Jicai simply could not re-seal the breakthrough opened by the Japanese army. If he relied solely on firepower, the consumption of artillery shells would be extremely staggering. Rather than consuming artillery shells in vain,
It's better to have a happy one all at once.
Yang Jicai held a telescope at the observation port of the command headquarters and carefully observed the battle situation ahead with a calm expression. Several people around him, after issuing their respective combat orders to the various units, looked at Yang Jicai in silence.
.In the entire headquarters, except for the intensive sound of gunfire outside and the slight clicking sound of the watch hands on everyone's wrists, there was an eerie silence.
Just when the sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer, everyone's heart was in their throats. Gou Zaihe's urgent voice came from the walkie-talkie that had been silent just now. Yang Jicai, who was observing the entrance, heard
Gou Zaihe's voice came as he rushed over in two steps, grabbed the microphone and listened to Gou Zaihe's intelligence report.
Although Gou Zaihe seemed a little nervous on the walkie-talkie, he still reported the situation very clearly. The Japanese troops between Shizuishi, Zhangjiayingzi, and Sumoyintala had increased to a multiple regiment. At the same time, in Bala Qiru,
Germany's Japanese offensive also increased its troop input based on the previous one.
After receiving Gou Zaihe's report, Yang Jicai immediately understood that the time he had been waiting for had really arrived. According to the current situation, the Seventh Division had already invested all its available forces. If his plan succeeded, the Seventh Division would
At least one should be left half disabled.
Thinking of this, Yang Jicai put down the walkie-talkie headset in his hand without any hesitation, and said in a very relaxed tone to the guards and communications staff around him: "Send the signal and order a general attack. I will at least take the seventh division today."
, completely crippled him."
Of course, the general attack he was talking about did not mean a full-scale counterattack. He had only one regiment of troops at hand before, and coupled with the casualties in last night's night battle, the remaining troops now were less than two battalions. Even so.
Including the artillery and security troops he brought over, the piecemeal total was only two and a half battalions.
As for the total attack force, even if all the troops are put in, I am afraid that it will not be able to defeat the enemy. He is not that stupid to put all the troops in hand. When the bloody battle ends,
The Seventh Division has a strong foundation, but it doesn't have many troops.
The general attack he was talking about was the artillery that he had painstakingly prepared for several hours and was on standby at the moment. At this time, for Yang Jicai, his relatively hastily formulated so-called sea of fire tactics had reached the optimal stage of implementation.
Moment. With so many cannons, why would he need people to fill them?
As three signal flares took off, the various artillery units that received orders from Yang Jicai concentrated their firepower on the predetermined target to implement all-round fire coverage in accordance with Yang Jicai's previous deployment. In an instant, from Sumuyintala to Zhangjiayingzi,
, there was a dense sound of artillery.
Although the encounter between the first batch of Japanese troops who rushed into the breach and approached Sumoyintala made all the Japanese troops mentally prepared before the artillery opened fire. However, the sudden shells still hit the enemy from Sumoyantala to
The Japanese troops on the Shizuishi front line suffered heavy casualties.
The attack had previously reached less than 70 meters from Yang Jicai's headquarters. A Japanese reinforced squadron replaced the two lurking Japanese squadrons that had suffered heavy losses in the shelling. Just when they were about to succeed, their attack formation was blocked one by one.
Zero-Seven Rocket Launcher Company's volleys completely covered the area.
In fact, this Japanese army was a little careless. In order to defeat the follow-up Japanese troops who passed through the Shizui breach, Yang Jicai tried to detour the Aohan camp and changed the direction of the 100mm howitzer battery to blockade the route from Sumuyintala to Shizhuizi.
The direction of the table is towards Aohan Yingzi Passage.
And the firepower of the field artillery company was suspended due to the bombing incident. The Japanese reinforcement squadrons that took over from the two squadrons that had suffered heavy casualties under intensive artillery fire and had been basically wiped out were obviously a little careless. I thought that in Sumoyintala
The anti-alliance artillerymen on the front line were already thinking about their heads and tails at this time.
As for the Anti-Alliance heavy artillery, which had brought unforgettable nightmares to me the day before and last night, the entire line of anti-Japanese heavy artillery was silent at dawn. All firepower was temporarily suspended in order to implement Yang Jicai's latest plan. In the view of the Japanese commander, it was probably because the artillery shells were exhausted.
It was almost unsustainable.
In their view, yesterday's day and night battles, the heavy artillery and aviation of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, indeed caused great losses to the Japanese army. However, given that its artillery shell production capacity is still quite limited, the scale of its artillery shell replenishment is probably far away.
Far too far to keep up with consumption.
Because according to the standards of the Japanese army, the Anti-Japanese Alliance's consumption of artillery shells during yesterday's day and night battles was absolutely staggering. Even those who thought they had industrial capabilities behind them far exceeded the mainland of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Kanto region supported by Southern Manchuria.
The army is also unable to afford it. Especially for the large-caliber artillery, the manufacturing of artillery shells requires quite strict processes.
Although they had lost troops and generals in the Anti-Japanese Alliance before, in the minds of senior Japanese military figures, while they had a certain fear of the current Anti-Japanese Alliance, they still maintained contempt for the Anti-Japanese Alliance and even China as a whole. They always believed that the Anti-Japanese Alliance was productive
Their capabilities are limited, and most of their artillery shells should have been given by the Soviets, or semi-finished products provided by the Soviets and assembled by them.
At least without a sound industrial system, they would not be able to produce enough artillery shells, especially large-caliber artillery shells. From the perspective of the Japanese army, which never used shell casings to reload artillery shells, the manufacturing process of large-caliber artillery shell casings was inferior.
Due to the complexity, Anti-Union may be difficult to produce on its own.
At present, the Soviets are too busy to take care of themselves and cannot provide them with artillery shells. Their artillery shells are definitely numerous. Because the industrial base of the Anti-Japanese Alliance cannot bear the consumption of so many artillery shells. Not to mention the battlefield in Western Manchuria.
, all the required supplies need to be transported from hundreds of kilometers away.
According to the Japanese army's battlefield supply standards, in the absence of railways and the need to ensure the use of Linxi's frontal battlefield, the Anti-Union Alliance could not maintain yesterday's fire density conditions for a long time. The Anti-Union Heavy Artillery, which was extremely active during the day and night yesterday, was
But he remained silent after that, which is proof. At least in the view of the senior combat staff of the 7th Division, this possibility is inevitable.
And now, when the Japanese troops who had been crippled before were replaced and reinforced again launched an attack, their artillery could only barely block the westward movement, preventing the Japanese troops from advancing westward and outflanking the retreat of Aohan Camp, and was unable to take care of it.
Going to the front and giving up the original fire blockade in the direction of Shizuo proved that their artillery shells were seriously insufficient.
For the Japanese troops on the front line of Sumoyintala, and even the entire Seventh Division, since the enemy has lost the advantage of artillery fire, there is no need for them to have too many worries and hesitations. Their plans must be accelerated, and they must be supplemented
Before the artillery shells arrived, they broke through the Anti-Japanese Alliance's front line on the Aruhorqin Banner battlefield.
Without the suppression of artillery fire, the Japanese army faced the garrison with far fewer troops than itself. They had no scruples at all. In order to break through the garrison's defense as quickly as possible, they even adopted a group offensive. To put it bluntly, they took the approach that they had always looked down upon.
Yes, but it is a human wave tactic commonly used by the Chinese army with poor firepower.
However, they did not expect that the anti-alliance heavy artillery force, which they had thought had run out of artillery shells, roared again. As a result, under the salvo of a 107 rocket launcher company, a full squadron and a half of the Japanese army was completely destroyed.
Only a dozen people were left standing.
Don’t count on precise shooting of a weapon like a rocket launcher. However, its greatest advantage is the execution of this kind of fire coverage. The most critical thing is its high rate of fire. A twelve-tube 107 rocket launcher can fire in twelve seconds.
A volley can be fired within such a short period of time. Even if the Japanese army is prepared, it will be difficult to escape.
Moreover, the 107 rocket powered by high-quality, high-purity smokeless gunpowder made in the United States has a slightly greater range than the previous ones that used smokeless gunpowder made by the Anti-Japanese Alliance or the Soviet Union. And after improvements,
The explosive department has switched to using RDX explosives imported from the United States, which have higher lethality than the original Japanese explosives. In order to increase the lethality, some shells are even mixed with steel balls.
After such modification, the killing radius of a 107 rocket shell was almost increased by more than half. Forty-eight 107 rocket shells hit the heads of a group of people in a small space in more than a minute.
No one would be able to bear it. What's more, at such a close range and with such a fast rate of fire, even if the little Japs were prepared, it would be too late.
