Regarding Han Renhe's persuasion, Du Kaishan, knowing that he was reminding himself that these people are very important and should pay attention to the safety of these people, nodded and said: "Old Han, just go and do whatever you need to do. Those on the 1st
Why don't you worry about leaving your precious pimple here with me? I am a person who sticks to my words and promises you, even if the sky falls, I will find a way to do it."
Du Kaishan made a promise, and Han Renhe didn't say anything more. He just smiled bitterly and turned around to leave. After all, the war was going on here, and it was not good for him to waste too much time here. His own affairs had been completed, so he should
Returned to headquarters to report. As for whether No. 1 will get angry or not, that is beyond his control.
Looking at Han Renhe's back, Du Kaishan also shook his head slightly. He felt that this man was thinking too much. If there is time to guess what is in No. 1's mind, it is better to use more energy on the battlefield. This is
A soldier should do more during wartime.
However, although he was very dissatisfied with some of Han Renhe's actions, Du Kaishan did not forget Han Renhe's reminder. He called the security staff of his headquarters over and repeatedly told him to protect the technical staff and rush to the stable entrance.
On the front line, Han Ren and the two squadrons from the squadron left behind him were directly used as security personnel for these people.
He also urged the troops who were clearing out the remaining enemies in Qikou to speed up their progress and make room for others who were cleaning up the maritime battlefield. At the same time, he also personally called the Bohai Navy Region and made some arrangements with the commander of the Bohai Navy Region to cooperate with these people's actions.
Communication. After all, our troops are all a bunch of landlubbers. To really go to sea, we have to rely on those who were born and grew up by the sea.
What kind of army would it be like if he had never seen the sea before? If they went into the sea without a certain period of training, it would be good if at least half of them could go into the sea without seasickness. So Du Kaishan still discussed this matter personally with
The commander of the Bohai Navy Region made some communications.
But this matter is over for him. He will continue to pay attention to it, but at least now he will not invest too much energy in this aspect. For Du Kaishan, more energy needs to be devoted
He focused on the war in front of him. Putting down the phone in his hand, he turned his mind to the battlefield again.
While Du Kaishan was talking to Han Renhe, the entire Qikou battlefield situation was constantly changing as time went on. The front line of Sanhuzhuang had been disrupted and had completely lost its resistance.
The First Division of the 44th Division of the Will. After most of the officers who maintained combat effectiveness were killed, the remaining troops could not withstand the attacks of the tanks of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
When the battle reached daybreak on the Sanhuzhuang battlefield, the final defenses of the 92nd Regiment of the 44th Division and the First Division of the 9th Division had completely collapsed. The remaining 200 to 300 Japanese troops were like headless flies.
The chaotic organization desperately tried to break out of the Qikou battlefield in the east. They tried their best to find a way to escape from the encirclement of the anti-alliance forces in front of them.
However, in the face of the intensive firepower of the surrounding anti-alliance forces, its attempt to find a gap to break out failed. This made the already low morale even lower to the extreme. The remaining hundreds of defeated soldiers of the 92nd Regiment could no longer hold on.
The opponent's offensive completely lost the courage to resist.
After a night of fierce fighting, the tank offensive of the Anti-Japanese Alliance had completely defeated their will. With most of the officers above the rank of majors killed in the battle and a few missing, except for a few scattered scattered personnel, they had actually been
The 92nd Regiment, which lost its command, eventually became a remnant of the establishment. Under the leadership of a captain, they finally chose to lay down their weapons and surrender.
These divisions were not as strong-willed to fight as other divisions. After the organized resistance completely collapsed and most of the officers above the rank of major were killed in the battle, they had completely lost the courage to resist. Surrendering to save their lives actually made these Osaka
The first choice of soldiers, but the difference is that no one took the lead before, and they are somewhat reserved.
After all, for these Osaka soldiers, the honor of the Imperial Army is still somewhat important, and it is always a bit embarrassing to be the first to surrender. Of course, this so-called honor of the Imperial Army is nothing to them. In fact, it is
What I was more worried about was whether my life would be in danger if I surrendered.
Although veterans who have returned from the army have said that the Chinese treat the captured Japanese soldiers very well compared to the Japanese army's treatment of the captured Chinese. However, these Japanese soldiers still have some concerns in their hearts. But they are the first to eat
Once the Crab appears and the last fig leaf is pulled away, other problems will naturally no longer be a problem.
As the first person to lay down his weapons appeared, the remaining members of the 92nd Regiment seemed to have contracted an infectious disease. These survivors who survived a night of fierce fighting will naturally not be able to fight again after having a leader.
Anyone who hesitated raised the white flag and surrendered.
On the battlefield east of Sanhuzhuang, the remnants of the 93rd Regiment, which were divided and surrounded in several small villages, were also under continuous storming attacks by the Bohai Navy Region 1, supported by anti-alliance tanks and artillery.
, although it is still struggling. But the strength of resistance is getting weaker and weaker.
The troops of the Bohai Sea Region who participated in the war took advantage of the characteristics of the North China troops that were good at close combat and night fighting. They adopted the method of attacking in multiple directions, enveloping them on all sides, dividing and encircling them, and then eating the meat first before chewing the bones. The 93rd Regiment was solved by the Anti-Alliance Tank Troops.
To defeat most of the remaining troops.
Although in terms of firepower, the troops of the Bohai Sea Region are not as good as the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but a considerable number of soldiers from the military region who are miners are very good at using explosives. Before, there were not many standard explosives, and the power of black powder was not enough, so these cadres and soldiers were
There's no place for this skill.
This time, the Anti-Japanese Alliance replenished a large amount of high explosives at once, so these troops had nothing to worry about. The participating troops adopted the method of continuous blasting assaults under the cover of fire. Without the use of tanks for cover,
, it only took an hour and a half to open the Shili River, which was the largest force among the remaining members of the 93rd Regiment.
After opening the hastily constructed defense line of the Shili River, a regiment from the Bohai Sea District that participated in the battle concentrated a reinforced battalion with bayonets, with submachine gunners and an assault team equipped with a large number of grenades as the first assault team, while the main force pressed behind the entire line.
Above. Under the cover of the reinforced recoilless rifles and light and heavy machine guns behind them, they all broke into Shilihe Village and started street and close combat with the remaining Japanese troops.
After a fierce battle in the middle of the night, although the assault battalion suffered 80% casualties, it also completely defeated the enemy of Shilihe, which accounted for nearly two-thirds of the remaining members of the 93rd Regiment. The entire enemy force of Shilihe was defeated.
At the same time as they were destroyed, more than a hundred remaining enemies in Dengjiazhuang, which were divided northwest of Shili River, were basically eliminated.
Following the Shili River, the remnant enemies on the front line of Dengjiazhuang were finally eliminated, and the remaining defeated soldiers of more than a squadron trapped on the front line of Xiaoxinzhuang were completely isolated. The Japanese army was trapped in Xiaoxinzhuang, a village as big as a palm, with no reinforcements from outside.
There is no food and ammunition inside, and we are in a state of internal and external embarrassment.
Du Kaishan, who did not want to continue to waste materials and energy on these people, after receiving a report on the battle situation in the Bohai Navy Region, in order to reduce the casualties in the Bohai Navy Region and speed up the progress of the battle, he mobilized troops from the troops who completed the Sanhuzhuang operation.
He gathered three artillery battalions and one tank battalion and rushed to the front line of Xiaoxinzhuang.
After the transferred troops arrived, Du Kaishan took advantage of the characteristics of the 44th Division that he had learned in previous battles and the weakness of his weak will to fight. He issued an ultimatum to the Japanese troops who were trapped in Xiaoxinzhuang. He asked the division with bluffs and threats.
Surrender within ten minutes, otherwise Xiaoxinzhuang will be razed to the ground.
In fact, Du Kaishan was a little shaken in the battle against the Bohai Navy District at Shili River. He indeed only mobilized one 105 howitzer company and two 76mm cannon companies to support. But these firepower was not enough for the 93rd Regiment.
For the team, together with the newly formed mortar battalion and mountain artillery battalion directly under the Bohai Navy Region, the fire support provided is sufficient.
In addition to the light and heavy machine guns provided by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, as well as sufficient ammunition, with so much fire support, there is no need to fight this battle at all. An entire battalion suffered two-thirds casualties, which is a bit too high a price.
.These are all veterans, and they are definitely treasures. The casualties here are really a waste, and they can be solved with firepower.
However, it is difficult for Du Kaishan to interfere with how the Bohai Navy Region decides to fight and how to command the tactics. After all, it is a brother army. Although it is assigned to him to command, it is only a subordinate. He has already received the number one because of his unfavorable cooperation with the brother army.
Criticism, he didn't want to stumble again on this issue.
Afraid that the Bohai Navy District would stage a show in a showy way, and knowing that Du Kaishan would still criticize him on the 1st if all his brothers' troops were wiped out, he simply mobilized a large amount of firepower and adopted persecution methods to force the troops trapped in Xiaoxinzhuang.
The Japanese army surrenders. If they refuse, just use artillery shells to completely eliminate them. Anyway, the few remaining people will not be too many in the prisoner group, but they will not be too few.
Facing the black and overwhelming artillery group composed of dozens of large-caliber artillery, as well as dozens of tanks in front of him, the last strength of the 93rd Regiment no longer had the will to fight. After the Anti-Union ultimatum was issued,
After that, they finally did not choose to resist. Instead, under the leadership of a lieutenant officer, they chose to lay down all their weapons.
The Japanese troops on the Xiaoxinzhuang front line chose to surrender, which meant that the 44th Division of the two divisions that the Japanese army invested in the Qikou front line battlefield was completely destroyed. As the resistance of the Japanese army in Xiaoxinzhuang ceased,
Du Kaishan also successfully completed the first combat goal of defeating the enemy in Qikou, the two crab claws.
In the battle against the 44th Division, Du Kaishan could be said to have broken two records in a row. One was to complete the annihilation of a Japanese division in the shortest time. This Qikou battle started with the ground battle.
When it really started, it took less than fifty hours until the two regiments of the 44th Division participating in the battle and the remnants of one regiment were completely wiped out.
The second thing is probably that the number of prisoners in this battle was so high that it also set a record. In this battle against the 44th Division, nearly 2,000 Japanese soldiers were captured. It also created a new era for the Anti-Japanese Alliance in single
In this battle, they captured the largest number of Japanese soldiers. This result was not even thought of by Du Kaishan before the battle.
In addition to the more than 600 Japanese troops who surrendered in the two battlefields of Xiaoxinzhuang and Sanhuzhuang, after Du Kaishan's tank troops overwhelmed the main force of the 93rd Regiment, only between Shilihe and Sanhuzhuang,
They captured more than 300 Japanese soldiers who were fleeing in all directions. At the same time, during the first day of daytime and subsequent night battles, more than 300 Japanese soldiers were captured one after another.
When cleaning the battlefield after the war, more than 500 people who had been scattered were captured one after another. Capturing so many prisoners in one battle was not only unexpected by the troops participating in the battle, but even Du Kaishan was a little surprised. He
I can't even believe it. Is this because the Japanese army is still famous for its tenacity?
