Guo Bingxun's words shocked Wang Guangyu greatly. When the sound of artillery fired by Liu Changshun's all-out general offensive resounded through General Shi's front line, Wang Guangyu was still immersed in the impact of these words. [

Looking at Wang Guangyu who was still in a daze, Guo Bingxun knew that he still needed to digest his words for a while. He smiled and did not disturb him, but turned his attention to the progress of the war. For Wang Guangyu, a rare person in the entire military region
Yang Zhen is not the only one who is optimistic about talents with both military and political capabilities. Guo Bingxun also has high hopes for this person.
It's true that opportunities are very important in a person's development, whether he can achieve certain achievements, but the key lies in himself. If you are a Liu Adou who can't afford it, then no matter how good the opportunity you give him, it will be a failure.
There is no doubt that Wang Guangyu has a future, but how far he can go in the future ultimately depends on him.
Guo Bingxun, who turned his main attention to the progress of the war, did not interfere with the command of Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming. He only paid attention to grasping the rhythm on some key points. In addition to coordinating the fire support of the direct artillery, as for other
All of them were left to the commanders of the second brigade to take charge of themselves.
In Yang Zhen's words, they are all senior commanders at the brigade level and should have experience in independent command operations. Wang Guangyu performed very well in previous battles and proved his strength with his results. And Du Kaishan had previously
In the battle against Yilan, he also performed well. Now it depends on whether Liu Changshun can hand over an answer that satisfies the commander and himself.
Although Guo Bingxun did not confess anything, in fact, it was his failure to confess anything that brought great psychological pressure to Liu Changshun. Although he appeared to be careless, in fact Liu Changshun was not as thoughtful as he appeared.
I know that this battle is a test by the headquarters to determine whether I am qualified for the position of brigade commander.
However, although he was under a lot of pressure, fortunately, Wang Xiaoming and Ma Chunsheng beside him were not freeloaders. With the help of the two of them, Liu Changshun was somewhat restrained in fighting, but he did not restrain his hands, and his performance should still be qualified.
.
After accepting the general offensive mission, Liu Changshun reduced the original three regiments that had been transferred by Yang Zhen to one battalion and strengthened it to Wang Guangyu's battalion. More than one battalion had been injured in the previous battle, and in fact all of them were not full. They were reduced to two.
regiment, and selected the two battalions with the strongest combat effectiveness to be used as sharp knives.
In Liu Changshun's private words to Wang Xiaoming and Ma Chunsheng: "The Japanese's 40th Regiment was almost worn out by the First Brigade before. Now our Second Brigade has made it clear that we are here to pick peaches. If the fight is too ugly, we will also
I have absolutely no shame in messing around anymore.”
"Little devil, don't say that we rely on the strong to bully the weak. I have already given them a lot of face by deploying two battalions to deal with their two squadrons. If the headquarters hadn't stipulated that the battle must be ended before dawn, I would have deployed two battalions to deal with their two squadrons.
The two companies have a good time with them. Let’s see which one is more powerful, his 40th Regiment, or our second brigade.”
"I don't believe in evil anymore. Without air support and artillery cover, we have become a group of toothless tigers. How can these little devils still be so flamboyant? Let's be fair this time. One battalion will deal with one of their squadrons. Otherwise,
The little devil went to the Lord of Hell and said that we should use the more to bully the less."
Seeing Liu Changshun who was so bold in talking about fairness, Wang Xiaoming and Ma Chunsheng couldn't help but secretly despise them. Who the hell do you call this person? A battalion of 800 people is going to deal with a squadron of more than 200 people. Is this called fairness? This is not fair.
Not counting the infantry artillery and mortar companies belonging to the regiment, as well as the artillery support provided by the headquarters.
It was just a heart-to-heart discussion, but neither of them argued with Liu Changshun, a very shameless guy. How can there be so many fair things on the battlefield? This is a life-and-death battlefield, and it is not the kind of full-fledged thing in the past.
A one-on-one duel with nothing to do.
Liu Changshun had made enough capital from the beginning. Before the clods of earth raised by the covering artillery fire had completely fallen, the two battalions that launched the attack in the first wave were firing their anti-aircraft machine guns and a large number of light and heavy machine guns.
Under the cover of close-range infantry artillery and rapid-fire artillery, attacks were launched from both wings of the Japanese position.
In order to ensure that the Forty Regiment was completely wiped out before dawn in accordance with the orders of the headquarters, Liu Changshun's offensive was extremely fierce. His level-firing anti-aircraft machine guns and a large number of light and heavy machine guns suppressed the firepower of the Japanese army.
, the approaching infantry artillery lifted various temporary field fortifications built by the Japanese army into the sky one by one. The dense mortar shells knocked down the Japanese troops who tried to launch a counterattack and fought against the attacking troops.
In order to ensure the success of this attack, especially the coordination of infantry and artillery tactics, Liu Changshun also retained the cadres of the first brigade when taking over the position of the first brigade.
After hearing the report of the staff officer who was sent to the first brigade to coordinate the operations of the two armies on the first day's combat method, Liu Changshun was very envious of the first brigade's infantry and artillery coordination tactics. So when he took over the first brigade position, he asked for instructions
Guo Bingxun agreed, and Liu Changshun took over all the remaining cadres of the first brigade to help him coordinate the infantry and artillery coordination tactics of his own troops. The artillery directly under the regiments of the first brigade was temporarily transferred to the second brigade.
command.
With the assistance of the cadres of the first brigade, and the direct participation of the artillery of the first brigade, the infantry and artillery coordination tactics of the attack on the second brigade have made great progress compared with the previous night. Although it is not as painful as the previous night,
It is like a trained artillery brigade, but the artillery firepower is basically able to follow the footsteps of the attacking troops and clear the way for them under the guidance of flares or signal flares.
With the strong support of artillery, the two battalions launched by Liu Changshun made relatively smooth progress. Under the cover of artillery fire, the attacking troops fought at a slow pace, but they fought extremely steadily. The Japanese troops were defeated layer by layer.
The fortifications were peeled off layer by layer.
In fact, Colonel Matsuzaki Rikio sensed something was wrong as soon as the opponent's general attack guns sounded. The opponent did not brave the aviation bombing during the day as he expected, trying to completely defeat the 40th Regiment in one go, but only
Using a small force to launch a penetrating attack, let him understand that this is just a tentative attack by the opponent under the full cover of one's own aviation force. They are accumulating strength and waiting for their own aviation force to retreat, looking for opportunities to give themselves the most lethal blow.
One blow.
So when night fell and the aviation force retreated, Komatsuzaki Rikio nervously adjusted the strength and deployment of his troops, while anxiously looking forward to the night passing by and the aviation force appearing over him again.
It's just that he has limited troops at hand, with only two complete squadrons left, and a patchwork squadron that can even count the slightly wounded. He has limited adjustments to the troops and deployment. In desperation, Matsuzaki Rikio can only
Focus mainly on your own front.
Komatsuzaki Rikio did not expect that his opponent did not hit him the most nails as usual, especially when there were about two companies of troops firmly nailed to his front with a straight line distance of less than 30 meters. Instead, he chose to attack from the flanks.
breakthrough, and put the limited strength on hand more on the front.
He never expected that under the cover of night, his opponent would secretly detour the main force back to his relatively thin flank. When Liu Changshun's general attack was launched in full force, Rikio Komatsuzaki, who immediately felt that his deployment had been wrong, was suddenly beaten.
Confused.
Only then did he realize that the main force he had deployed on the front could not be withdrawn even if he wanted to. The opponent had been clinging to his front since last night. The two companies that were so close to each other could be described as close at hand. During the opponent's general attack,
After launching a full-scale attack, he launched non-stop attacks that were not violent but stalking, dragging his main force in the front and unable to return reinforcements at all.
Matsuzaki Rikio, who was unable to mobilize frontal troops, knew better that he had only deployed a squadron that was struggling to make up the number even with the lightly wounded, as well as all the grooms, cooks and all non-combatants in the wing headquarters.
The flanks cannot hold out for long under such a strong attack from the opponent. Once the flanks are breached, the 40th Regiment will be doomed without flank cover.
Now he has covered his head and exposed his feet. After covering his chest and exposing his butt, Matsuzaki Rikio is filled with regret. Why did he work so hard last night? If he had contracted his troops earlier, it would not have happened.
He almost lost all his capital in the 40th Regiment in one night. Why was he so passive now?
The development of the battle was just as Rikio Komatsuzaki expected. Under the fierce attack of his opponent, his flank collapsed in a short time. It was not that the Japanese troops lacked the spirit of a decisive battle, but the opponent simply did not give him a fight.
A chance for them to fight to the death.
As soon as the light and heavy machine guns defending the Japanese army started firing, the opponent's artillery shells would come to the door. Less than half an hour after the attack was launched, the light and heavy machine guns of the flanking Japanese army were lost to embers under the opponent's unremitting artillery fire, most of them together with the machine gunners.
Together they were reduced to piles of parts under enemy fire.
As soon as the war started, they lost only basic fire support. They were already short of troops. Now they could only rely on rifles and the Japanese army's traditional hand-to-hand combat capabilities. The stubbornly resisting flanking Japanese army made one last attempt to defeat the opponent with hand-to-hand combat. Before the opponent's attacking troops
Less than ten minutes after collapsing under intensive submachine gun fire, the entire flank of the Forty Regiment was shaken, and then the entire line collapsed.
And Rikio Komatsuzaki tried every means to mobilize the troops of the two squads from the front. Before they could reach the combat area, they were covered halfway by the dense rain of mortar shells fired by the opponent.
Almost none of the soldiers in the two squads survived, and they were all beaten on the way to reinforcements.
Seeing the unobstructed view of the flares fired by the opponent and his own troops struggling in the hail of bullets caused by dense mortar shells, Komatsuzaki Rikio, who was closely observing the progress of the war, not only shook his head and sighed. This scene had a profound impact on the troops who participated in the battle against the Chinese troops in the customs.
It was not unfamiliar to him, let alone something he had never seen before.
It's just that this kind of attack usually only happens to the Chinese army. But I didn't expect that today, the situation has changed, and it will happen to me almost unchanged. The situation is similar, but the person who suffers has changed. Before me.
The scene reminded Komatsuzaki Rikio suddenly of an old Chinese saying: Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river.
It's just that Liu Changshun didn't give Komatsuzaki Rikio much time to sigh. After tearing the Japanese flank, the two battalions quickly adjusted the direction of the attack and attacked the 40th Regiment, which was fighting hard with the two companies of the 1st Brigade that were still holding out on the front.
The remaining two squadrons pounced from behind.
Behind them, after seeing the success of his tactics of attacking in the east and attacking in the west, Liu Changshun did not hesitate at all, except leaving a battalion of reserve troops, and threw all the rest of his troops onto the battlefield to find and annihilate the remaining Japanese troops that were defeated.
, to ensure the safety of the attack force's rear route.
The first phase of the war went smoothly, and the combat objectives were completed ahead of schedule, which made Guo Bingxun completely relieved. However, he was a rigorous person and did not give up his attention to the war. As long as the battle did not end for one minute, he would not give up his attention.
Compared with Guo Bingxun, who is now much more relaxed, Komatsuzaki Rikio, who was attacked from both sides and knew that the time he could hold out could be calculated in minutes, had already prepared for the worst. After the flank collapsed, he immediately ordered the formation of the unit.
The flag and all military flags were burned. In his opinion, these battle flags personally awarded by His Majesty the Emperor must not fall into the hands of opponents.
After burning the military flag, Rikio Komatsuzaki, who knew that he had reached the last moment, used the radio to send a last farewell message to Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara who was far away in Jiamusi. After that, he blew up all the radio stations and completely destroyed the code book.
Burn it down and organize all the communication troops into front-line combat squadrons.
At the same time, Komatsuzaki Rikio distributed a grenade to each of the medical staff who had no combat capability. As for the seriously wounded who had lost their combat capability and could not even move freely, they were all placed on the shelves together with all the excess weapons that had lost their owners.
Together, pour gasoline on it and burn it on fire.
Little Matsuzaki Rikio is crazy at this moment. In his opinion, weapons are given by the emperor and must not fall into the hands of his enemies. And the emperor's samurai cannot become prisoners of war that can be humiliated by opponents at will. Compared with the lives of those wounded soldiers
, the tradition of the imperial army is more important.
After doing all this, Komatsuzaki Rikio concentrated all the remaining forces and started an offensive battle with the only two remaining companies of the brigade that launched the frontal attack that still had combat effectiveness. His intention was very clear. If he could defeat
With these two opposing companies, I may be able to take advantage of the opponent's main force being concentrated on my flanks and gain a chance to break through from the front.
If the frontal enemy cannot be defeated and cannot break through, then the 40th Regiment will bite off a piece of the opponent's flesh even to death. Not wanting to become a prisoner of war, he, like his subordinates, holds a bayonet.
38-type rifle, standing at the front of the charging queue.
