Du Kaishan stayed behind reluctantly, while Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun led the headquarters towards Pangjiadian in the north of Tangyuan. But it was already broad daylight. [.Com text] Under the harassment of Japanese aircraft,
Even in mountainous areas, Yang Zhen, who always had to be on guard against air attacks, was not marching very fast.
As for Masao Iwabe, who was captured and now completely freed, Colonel Kahei Nochi, who was currently focused on replacing two-thirds of the casualties and losing combat effectiveness of the 89th Regiment, was attacking General Ishiyama's front line.
It's a lot of trouble for me.
The opponent not only resists extremely tenaciously, but its artillery tactics are too powerful. Although under the threat of aviation, group shooting is rarely adopted. But from time to time, it is cool to give yourself a try, but this time it can be done at any time.
Want your own life.
In the battle on the south bank of the Songhua River, the 24th Division almost lost its main artillery force. However, the two field artillery brigades of the Kwantung Army's direct artillery force that replaced them have yet to be seen. The field detachment that lost its artillery fire support was in Manchuria.
On a road that is filled with mines, one can only stumble forward cautiously and brave the enemy's cold shots.
When they finally arrived at the front line of Jiangjun Shishan after paying a heavy price, they found that the opponent had already been waiting for them. The successive attacks launched by the field detachment without heavy fire cover were like a big bomb hitting the seawall in the face of the opponent's intensive firepower.
It's the same as lang, except for bursts of lang flowers, nothing is gained.
The opponent often took the trouble to launch small-scale tactical counterattacks under the cover of artillery, but often hit the field. Jiaping was miserable. Many times, under the cover of aviation during the day, he finally captured a mountain leg. But his butt was not there yet.
After waiting for him to sit down, at night, the opponent took it back under the cover of fierce artillery fire.
The opponent's artillery has almost become a nightmare for all the officers and soldiers of the field detachment. Especially the strange artillery with long fireworks on its tail, which will cause casualties as soon as it appears. In the end, the field detachment did not dare to attack any of the front lines.
We dare not easily concentrate more than one squadron of troops in any location.
Although the aviation force, under the supervision of Lieutenant General Nemoto Hiroshi, even stopped bombing the Luobei area and dispatched a large number of aircraft many times to search for these cunning artillery, it had no effect at all.
When your plane is in the sky, they don't show up at all. They just use single artillery to fire a burst of cold artillery from time to time to provide necessary fire support for their positions.
But the aviation force cannot hover in the sky 24 hours a day. He needs to refuel and reload. When night falls, the aviation force has to fly back to rest. Once the aviation force leaves, you don't know when these weird artillery will appear again.
. From time to time, they would assemble and fire on all targets such as field detachment positions and assembly areas.
These anti-Manchurian armed forces cleverly dismantled the artillery and adopted dispersed guerrilla tactics. They also arranged many false targets to lure the aviation forces into being fooled. After the aviation aircraft discovered these false targets and dived, the surroundings were already covered with anti-aircraft firepower.
Open fire caused the aviation force to lose a lot of aircraft, and seven Type 97 light bombers were turned into fireballs.
In a situation where aviation losses were heavy but the results were few. In order to eliminate these nasty, parasite-like artillery, Colonel Kaheira Nochi even did not hesitate to weaken the strength of the frontal attack. He organized a large number of small troops with the structure of reinforced squads.
, carry air navigation equipment and penetrate behind the opponent's position to find and eliminate these nasty bugs. Even if it can indicate the target for the aviation forces in the sky.
It's just that Nochi Kahei's painstaking efforts obviously didn't have much effect. Many of these small troops were sent out, but few came back. Most of them disappeared into the vast mountains of General Stone Mountain, and even more completed the mission.
It was a no. After several defeats, Nochi Kahei no longer dared to continue this kind of action that was not worth the gain.
Faced with the current situation, Colonel Kahei Nochi was helpless. He could only urge the artillery behind him to catch up as soon as possible, and at the same time, he bravely launched a frontal attack. Fortunately, the aviation force provided hard cover and tried its best to attack the general Shixian Mountain.
The bombing gave him some comfort in his heart.
Behind, on the south bank of the Songhua River, Lieutenant General Nemoto Hiroshi, who was personally waiting for General Umezu to strengthen the two independent field artillery brigades of the 24th Division, did not wait long. Just as the light headquarters led by Yang Zhen had already
On the same day when the turn was completed, Nemoto Hiro and two field artillery brigades reinforced by the Kwantung Army Headquarters hurriedly arrived at General Shi's front line to join the battle.
With the fire support of the artillery, Colonel Kahei Nochi, who had been half-dead in the attack before, immediately returned the favor. Under the personal supervision of Lieutenant General Nemoto Hiroshi, the troops of the two brigades were concentrated along both sides of the Jiamusi-Heli railway line, regardless of
The firepower was depleted, and they took turns launching a pig-like charge.
Nochi Kahei went crazy, and Wang Guangyu, who was guarding the front, felt the pressure doubled. The Japanese ground and air firepower that served as cover almost ignored the cost. The average number of bombs dropped on the General Stone front line was only aerial bombs, more than 200 and 75 bombs every day.
There were more than 1,000 millimeter mountain artillery shells. The surface positions of Jiangjunshi were bombed into ruins by the almost crazy firepower of the Japanese army.
Coupled with the early strategic bombing of the entire Luobei, Tangyuan, Binsui and other places, the Japanese army's bomb reserves at Jiamusi Airport were rapidly declining. Since the replenishment quantity that needed to be transported from the Shenyang Arsenal to Jiamusi was far less than the consumption,
On the third day of the battle at Shogun Shi, Lieutenant General Kumaichi Teramoto, commander of the Second Flying Group of the Japanese Air Force stationed in Jiamusi, had to limit the number of bombs dropped per day.
Change the original horizontal bombing that casts a net in the sky into a high-precision fixed-point dive bombing. Although this will cause a certain amount of battle damage under the opponent's ground fire, it is still much better than completely interrupting air support. Although from
On the third day of the battle, the number of bombs dropped by the Japanese aviation forces was strictly controlled, but Wang Guangyu was still under fire pressure that he had never endured before.
Under the Japanese army's investment of firepower regardless of cost, and under the desperate attack of Noji Kahei who was supported by artillery fire regardless of losses, the original blockade that was easy to fight suddenly became tense. General Shi Xianxian was given by Yang Zhen
Behind the final blocking line drawn by Wang Guangyu was the Xingshan Fortress area and Luobei, the base camp that Yang Zhen regarded as the fundamental location.
In order to prevent the Japanese army from entering Luobei and Heli North, Wang Guangyu changed his previous tactics of using the terrain to fight against each other and stubbornly resisted the heavy siege of the Japanese army with the preset position of Jiangjun Shixian.
Fortunately, after Yang Zhen took over the Fuxingshan Fortress, he knew that the General's Stone Line was the choke point for Luobei to prevent the Japanese troops from moving north from Jiamusi. He had already made a lot of preparations, not only building a large number of field battles along this line.
The fortifications also concentrated on two engineering companies formed based on the technical labor liberated from the fortress, and used the large amounts of steel bars and cement captured in the Xingshan Fortress to build a large number of permanent firepower points and support points.
Wang Guangyu used these completed fortifications and firepower points to launch a battle for every inch of land with the Japanese field detachment. Almost every inch of land had to be fought over repeatedly by both sides before they could finally determine its ownership. After only three days of fighting,
Although the two infantry brigades attacked by the field detachment suffered more than half of their casualties, Wang Guangyu's main regiment was also beaten to a semi-disabled state.
The most intense place where the battle broke out was not the main peak position of Jiangjun Stone, but a small highland on the right wing of the main peak, which was not large in area and not high in height, but was located at the center of the entire defense line and formed an angle with the main peak position.
.
A company stuck on this high ground was attacked by an infantry brigade, two field artillery squadrons, and five aircraft from the Japanese army. Although there were preset positions to rely on, it still suffered casualties in just one day.
ember.
In order to recapture this high ground that was crucial to the entire defense line, Wang Guangyu used the reserve battalion of the two battalions on hand, which had the strongest offensive ability. After a whole night and half a day of fierce fighting, the two sides repeatedly changed hands many times.
Only when the Japanese army's offensive capabilities were exhausted did they stabilize the once critical situation in this extremely important highland.
Although the high ground was finally recaptured and finally controlled, the battalion that was the first to enter the battle among the only two battalions of Wang Guangyu's reserves also suffered two-thirds casualties. When it went up, a complete infantry battalion waited for the withdrawal.
At that time, there was less than one company left. Except for the deputy battalion commander who was slightly injured, all the cadres above the company, including the battalion commander and instructor, were killed in action.
Huge casualties, and the hard battle to finally determine the ownership of even a small position, not only put the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line under unimaginable pressure, but also Wang Guangyu, who set up the command post on the main peak position.
Also under great pressure.
Seeing the companies at hand being thrown into a battle that was almost like a bottomless pit one by one, the huge number of casualties made Wang Guangyu, who had been fighting smoothly since the formation of the unit, shed tears of distress.
Since the Japanese army launched an all-out attack, in less than two days, one of his absolute main regiments holding on to the front line suffered casualties, and almost all of the company and platoon commanders at the grassroots level were replaced.
Wang Guangyu's tenacious resistance allowed the field detachment to make slow progress even though it had strong ground and air fire cover. Wang Guangyu's main regiment suffered more than half of its casualties, and the attacking field detachment suffered even greater casualties. The 32nd Regiment
The field detachment composed of the two brigades that survived the bombardment and the temporarily transferred 22nd Regiment and a completed infantry brigade were also disabled after two days of fierce fighting.
After three days of fierce fighting, the two main attacking brigades completely lost their offensive capabilities. Not only did the 22nd Regiment's brigade that attacked the right-wing high ground of the main peak, after a day of fierce fighting, the number of people who could be taken out alive was less than three points during the attack.
1. In other words, in just one day, Wang Guangyu defeated a battalion. Yeji Jiaping also defeated a brigade.
To use the words of a veteran of the 22nd Regiment who participated in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Xuzhou in the 11th Division, the 22nd Regiment, which fought against many Chinese troops on the battlefield inside the China Pass, is still
It was the first time I encountered a squadron with such strong fighting spirit and determination to fight to the death. The key was that it was so well-trained. Almost all of them were based on the combat characteristics of the Japanese army.
Unexpectedly, in just three days, Lieutenant General Nemoto Hiro, who had the absolute advantage of air and ground fire cover, lost the ability to attack the field detachment. Under the constant supervision of General Umezu Yoshijiro, he could only use the reserves to protect his flanks.
The field detachment was replaced by the 40th Regiment attached to the 24th Division.
Lieutenant General Nemoto Hiroshi, who was eager to break through the blockade of General Shi's first-line defenders, replaced the semi-invalid field detachment with the 40th Regiment. However, he did not expect that an elite team of his opponent had been hiding day and night, secretly detouring back to his own territory.
flank.
Not only did Genbo not realize that his opponent had circled back to his flank, but Wang Guangyu, who was commanding the troops in General Shi Zhufeng's own command post and tenaciously blocked the Japanese army, did not know that his friendly troops had already arrived close to him and were waiting.
The 25th Division gradually consumed its own blood during the attack.
When the 40th Regiment, which had been recuperating before, was replaced, Wang Guangyu, who was already feeling a little overwhelmed, felt the pressure increase greatly. This 40th Regiment, which was drawn from the elite 10th Division of the Japanese Army, was different from the previous one.
Compared with the 22nd Regiment and the 32nd Regiment, not only the tactical level is not inferior, but its fierce fighting will is even better. This can be seen from the code name of the 11th Division to which it originally belonged.
You can see it on the iron.
When the offensive launched by them was repelled, these Japanese troops did not retreat to their starting positions, but stayed there like nails, shooting at their opponents on the spot. Their accurate shooting and skillful combination of infantry tactics gave
The front line brings much greater pressure than the field detachment.
Even when Wang Guangyu was observing the battle situation, the telescope in his hand was shattered by a Japanese soldier with a shot from 400 meters away just because it was shaken by the sun.
It was too far, and with the telescope blocking it, this shot would definitely kill Wang Guangyu.
Looking at the German-made Zeiss telescope that Yang Zhen gave to him after he became the regiment leader. There were only a few of them in the entire army with full Japanese equipment, but now it was beaten to pieces, Wang Guangyu felt so distressed that he ignored the presence of himself.
The subordinates yelled in a very dishonorable manner: "You guys, these bastards, are going to die badly. This is the telescope that the commander personally gave to me, and it was destroyed in your hands like this."
I feel sorry for the fact that this telescope has a long observation range and is much better in resolution than the captured Japanese telescopes currently widely used in the army. However, due to the limited number, except for the reconnaissance battalion and some artillery units, only the three main forces were issued.
Wang Guangyu, who is a cadre of cadres and above, jumped at the German-made Zeiss telescope.
He knew that Brigadier Wang treasured this telescope so much that none of the operational staff members who hugged him even when he was sleeping dared to give words to persuade him. They also knew that this was not the only reason that made the brigade commander lose his temper.
A telescope he loved dearly, as well as the increasing pressure from the front.
Just as Wang Guangyu was cursing, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Why have you become so out of touch? Isn't it just a telescope? I'll give you another one. Is it worth this? You
Where has his maturity and stability gone?”
