After tearing through the outermost defense line of the Japanese army, Li He's two sharp knife companies did not stop at the periphery of the Japanese army. Instead, they took advantage of the brief moment before the Japanese army woke up and used the company as a company to develop in depth towards the Japanese army.
As for the remaining firepower of the Japanese army, it was handed over to the second echelon to deal with it. Their task was to penetrate deeply into the Japanese army at all costs.
The remaining troops of the first echelon were organized in ranks and quickly entered the exposed Japanese communication trenches. Along the communication trenches, they followed the clues to penetrate deeply into the Japanese army. Their task was to cooperate with the attacking troops on the ground.
Completely disrupting the Japanese army's overall defense deployment.
Li He's requirements for these troops were very simple. They were organized into platoons or even squads, and they followed the communication trenches toward the Japanese army. Unlike the ground offensive troops, they did not need to worry about which direction these communication trenches led to when they moved forward.
The task is to follow the communication trenches and attack the enemy in depth. Completely disrupt the enemy's depth and disrupt the enemy's organization.
Along the communication trenches built by the Japanese army, look for the enemy's firepower points in depth and deal with them one by one. Find the enemy's headquarters and destroy them completely. If the communication trench is blocked by the enemy, it will be impossible to pass. Then
Organize a blockade on the spot to delay the enemy's counterattack toward the eastern breakthrough.
Considering that these units may fight on their own when necessary, all members of these units, from platoon leaders to squad leaders, have been carefully selected. All squad leaders and combat backbones are veterans with at least one year of actual combat experience.
It can be said to be quite rich, and the ability to fight independently is also quite strong.
Behind them, the second echelon is also moving forward quickly. Li He's order to the second echelon is that while the first echelon develops in depth, the second echelon adopts the tactic of peeling off cocoons layer by layer to eliminate the Japanese army.
In the outer fortification group, in addition to part of the force cooperating with the first echelon to attack in depth, one force is used to control both wings of the breach.
At the same time, according to the deployment, in the last five minutes before the explosion, the artillery behind them fired all the incendiary bombs on hand into the town of Qingfengdian in the shortest possible time, setting almost the entire Qingfengdian on fire. The fire continued.
The fire that started completely ignited the Qingfeng Store, which had turned into a pile of rubble.
Nearly two hundred rounds of incendiary bombs of various calibers were fired, covering the entire town of Qingfengdian tightly. No firepower points, plum blossom-shaped fortifications, or bunkers could be used. The houses used by the Japanese army to reinforce the fortifications
Wood such as beams has become the best combustion-supporting tool.
Under the barbecue of the fire, the Japanese troops deployed in the town, as the second line of in-depth defense forces, were forced out by the fire. Although some ammunition storage locations were hidden underground, under the high temperature of the barbecue, they were also forced out.
There was a violent explosion.
And when the Japanese troops were on the outer positions, they were lucky enough not to be killed by the violent explosions or buried alive by the collapsed fortifications. But the Japanese soldiers, who were also stunned by the shock, woke up and found that the Japanese soldiers in front of them were
The wave of enemy troops rushing over did not even stop in front of their own position, and rushed straight into their depth.
The second echelon of the enemy army has also rushed in front of them. Although the Japanese troops on the front line tried to intercept the second echelon of the Anti-Alliance Army, facing the second echelon of the Anti-Alliance Army that had already reached in front of them, any of them at this time could
It was too late to move. The grenades inserted through the firing port, the recoilless artillery shells and rocket launchers fired in, sent the remaining Japanese fortifications to the west one by one.
When Colonel Nakahata Mamoru realized that something was not going well, the first echelon of the Anti-Japanese Alliance had already passed through his second line of defense and was advancing in depth. And some of the troops attacking along the communication trenches had already penetrated in depth.
Zone. One of the troops has already reached Qingfengdian Railway Station.
It was only when Nakahata Mamoru realized that he had made an irreparable error in his judgment of the enemy's main attack direction, and wanted to use the communication trenches to send reinforcements. However, his reinforcements were killed by the Anti-Japanese Alliance troops who used the communication trenches to infiltrate.
There's a traffic jam halfway through and there's no way to get through it.
The Anti-Japanese Alliance has automatic firepower from top to bottom. It is possible to block a traffic trench without two more cross-firing automatic rifles. In this kind of close combat, the Japanese army suffered a great loss. Nakahata Mamoru learned that the Anti-Japanese War
After the Anti-Japanese Federation used communication trenches to infiltrate and attack, they organized multiple counterattacks in an attempt to drive out the infiltrated Anti-Japanese Federation, but they still failed to do so.
Faced with the situation of being breached on the east side, although Colonel Nakahata Mamoru knew that continuing to invest troops in the breach opened on the east side would only cause him to continue to lose blood. However, the current changes in the battle situation forced him to bite the bullet.
At the breakthrough point to the east, we desperately invested our troops to counterattack.
Because he knew very well that once the enemy broke through the outer position on the east and allowed the enemy to rush into the depth. Under the enemy's incendiary bomb offensive, the depth defense zone could no longer be defended. Then his entire
The line of defense will completely collapse.
However, the Nakahata Guard is a ruthless character. Although a breakthrough has been opened to the east, and the enemy's assault is progressing very quickly, he should block this breakthrough at all costs. He even defeated all the guards on the west.
The army was engaged in an empty city strategy in the entire west, but he still did not mobilize the garrison in the south and north directions.
It's just that although he did not mobilize the defenders in the south and north directions, after the enemy set fire to the entire town, the tanks that were originally used as mobile firepower points could no longer fight according to the original plan. Wouldn't it be better to defend the original position?
Was it directly cremated by a fire ignited by enemy incendiary bombs?
He didn't expect that his opponent would suddenly fire hundreds of incendiary bombs before launching his attack, igniting his position into a sea of flames. This kind of tactics might accidentally injure his own people. He simply gritted his teeth and fired all the fire bombs.
All the tanks that could still be driven were moved to the east to cooperate with the infantry to counterattack the enemy troops.
At the same time, they continued to invest troops in several communication trenches used by the Anti-Japanese League, and at all costs contained the opponent's tactics of using the communication trenches to penetrate deeply into themselves. In Nakahata Mamoruichi's view, the Anti-Japanese Alliance used the communication trenches built by themselves to extend in all directions to penetrate deeply into themselves.
Penetration tactics are too dangerous for one's overall defense.
This is just like in the Chinese mythology, the Sun Wukong got into the belly of Princess Iron Fan, and they did whatever they wanted. This tactic was even more dangerous than the enemy's breakthrough of their entire defense in depth. The enemy used the communication trenches to attack
This tactic of deep penetration must be curbed.
Compared to Nakahata Mamoru's actions of reinforcement and counterattack at all costs, Li He gritted his teeth and put all the power at hand into it. At the same time, he ordered the troops who were pretending to move in the north and south directions to immediately attack the enemy's base, regardless of the enemy's fire blockade.
Attack under the cover of tanks, turning a bluff into a direct attack.
He has opened a breakthrough in the east, and the enemy's active forces have been attracted to the east battlefield by him. Even if the enemy has not mobilized the defenders in the north and south directions, they have no follow-up reinforcements at this moment. They will not launch an attack at this time.
, how long are you waiting for?
Do we still have to wait until the Japanese army calmly completes the deployment adjustment before hitting the rocks? At present, the fire ignited by hundreds of incendiary bombs in the entire Qingfeng store has begun to weaken. And the Japanese army's deep deployment has not yet had time to readjust.
This time is the most favorable time.
Li He did not hesitate to turn the feint attack on both wings into a strong attack. Even though the Japanese army blocked the ditch three times and failed to open a passage for the armored troops, he assigned his self-propelled artillery battalion to the east.
The battle lines were lined up and direct-aiming shooting was adopted to support the battle ahead.
However, despite investing a considerable amount of troops, he still had half a battalion of reserves in his hands at this time. This half of the battalion's reserves was what he had left to prepare for emergencies.
At the critical moment, he would not use it easily. His reconnaissance troops did not invest in the Qingfengdian battlefield. Instead, they spread out to the north and monitored the area north of Qingfengdian.
As the Japanese reinforcements desperately braved artillery fire to intercept them, the reinforcements arrived near the breakthrough east of Qingfengdian. The main forces of both sides collided fiercely on the east battlefield. The intensive sound of gunfire resounded throughout the surrounding area of Qingfengdian.
.And Li He used hundreds of incendiary bombs to ignite the entire town of Qingfengdian, and the black smoke caused by the fire was clearly visible for dozens of kilometers.
When the county seat of Dingxian County had been captured, the vanguard troops had already captured Mingyue Store. Lin Feng and Du Zifu, who were commanding the troops to spread their wings towards Dingxian County, stood at the head of Dingxian City, looking at the black smoke rising over Qingfengdian, and the
There was a faint sound of gunfire.
Although Li He had been delegated power and promised not to interfere with the war at Qingfeng Store, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly: "What is Li He doing? He won't set the entire Qingfeng store on fire with this attitude, right?"
.How did this guy make such a big fuss?"
Lin Feng, who had been worried about the situation in the Qingfengdian battle, wanted to turn on the radio and ask what Li He was doing in the Qingfengdian battlefield. However, his move was stopped by Du Zifu: "Old Lin, I think we should not interfere.
Okay. Although this guy Li He looks big and rough, this kid is actually very thoughtful and knows what he does."
"The common people in the Qingfeng store have been forcibly moved out by the Japanese army a long time ago. Apart from the Japs and puppet troops, there are basically no common people inside and outside the town. He can fight as much as he wants. At most, the Jizhong brothers' troops are here
I'm afraid it will take some trouble to deal with the aftermath. After all, after demolishing other people's houses, the local government must give them some compensation."
Having said this, Du Zifu smiled slightly and said: "People have pledged their heads, so those of us who are superiors should not interfere too much. After they capture Qingfeng Store, they still have to prepare to block the Japanese reinforcements. Compared to now
, his next step will be even heavier. Our troops are limited, and we cannot give him too many reinforcements."
"For him now, how to reduce casualties as much as possible in order to deal with the worst possible situation that may arise next is more important than asking what he did. What I mean, Lao Lin, is that we are still
Just wait and see if it turns out well. Should your superiors also keep their promises?"
"Don't forget, Lao Lin, he is the best regiment commander in our division. If we, the superiors, can't trust this kind of cadre, then how can we lead this army? Since we have chosen him to be in charge of the Qingfengdian battlefield, then we
These superiors still need to be given enough trust."
Du Zifu's persuasion made Lin Feng hesitate for a moment, but finally nodded. The political commissar was right. Since he had decided to let go, he should let that guy go through hard work. I only hope that he can really fulfill his promise.
, before the Japanese army in Baoding retreats, completely capture Qingfengdian, so as not to really affect the development of the war situation.
