Hongo Yoshio mobilized a large number of artillery to participate in the battle, and Du Kaishan was not inferior. Du Kaishan mobilized the artillery belonging to the backer, and also responded tooth for tooth, eye for eye, against the desperate charging Japanese army and its deep artillery group.
.From rapid fire from a single gun to barrage fire.
From rockets, high-explosive grenades to incendiary bombs, from 75mm mountain field guns to large-caliber howitzers, cannons, and mortars of various calibers. Artillery shells of various calibers from both sides covered the entire northern Lujiatun and south to Li
Both sides of the Chai River along the Jiagou line were covered by dense artillery shells.
The artillery shells fired by both sides were so dense that they collided head-on in the air more than once, erupting into a gorgeous flower of death. This time, Yoshio Hongo could be said to have used his old skills and brought out all the artillery he could.
.
On the ground, the anti-alliance troops and the Japanese 107th Division fought desperately, using various light and heavy firepower to turn the opponent's position into a sea of flames.
In order to open a retreat channel for the 44th Army, the 107th Division, under the command of its division commander, Lieutenant General Abe Koichi, tried their best. Regardless of the narrow terrain of the mountainous combat terrain, its skirmishing line was
He exhaled more than a dozen words. The first was the pig attack tactic under the cover of fire, concentrating the troops to attack the anti-alliance positions in turn.
Under the cover of aviation and artillery, the two anti-alliance regiments guarding the front lines of Lujiatun, Kaoshantun and Lijiagou were tenaciously holding on to their positions. At the same time, they continued to launch attacks on the flanks of the 107th Division with one force.
Counterattack. The aviation force also continuously dispatched fighter jets and attack aircraft groups to carry out bombing and strafing against the Japanese troops in several ravines to cover the ground troops.
Although the three regiments of the 107th Division repeatedly charged and killed regardless of the number of casualties and the intensive firepower of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, after several hours of fierce fighting, the three regiments participating in the battle had reached one-third, but they were still unable to
Breaking through the Anti-League defense system on the front line from Lujiatun to Lijiagou. On the contrary, it was quite unsustainable for its own flanks to face the increasingly fierce Anti-League offensive.
The anti-alliance attack fleet participating in the war used napalm bombs, igniting raging fires in several ravines behind the 107th Division, cutting off the connection between the 107th Division and the following Japanese troops. At the same time, white phosphorus was specially used
The bombs were used to deal with the Japanese artillery that participated in the war. It posed a considerable threat to the Japanese artillery that participated in the war.
Despite the orders of Lieutenant General Yoshio Hongo, artillery units drawn from various frontline divisions and independent mixed brigades, as well as all direct artillery units of the 44th Army, continued to fire with all their strength to cover the 107th Division.
Attack. Within half an hour of the Japanese army's breakout battle, the artillery deployed fired tens of thousands of artillery shells.
However, after the Anti-Japanese Alliance aviation forces participated in the war in large numbers, the fire support intensity of the Japanese artillery began to decline immediately in order to cope with the firepower attacks of the aviation forces. Although the Japanese artillerymen were not afraid of death, they persisted in covering fire despite the counter-attacks of the Anti-Japanese Alliance artillery fire and the continuous attacks of the aviation forces.
The 107th Division.
But the Japanese artillery was not made of iron after all. Except for the Japanese artillery around Kaoshantun, in order to support the breakout operation to the maximum extent, the rest of the artillery was pulled out of the fortifications. Without the fortifications to cover these artillery and artillery, it was impossible to protect them.
It cannot withstand the bombing of an aerial bomb.
In particular, the aviation forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance used a large number of white phosphorus bombs when cooperating with ground artillery to suppress the Japanese artillery participating in the war. This new type of aviation bomb had a psychological shadow on the Japanese army that was even greater than the actual combat effect. Not only
Lower-level Japanese officers and soldiers, including Yoshio Hongo, cursed loudly after seeing the effects of white phosphorus bombs, saying that such weapons were not man-made.
It’s just that this native Yoshio has completely forgotten that when they attacked China, they used a large number of poison gas bombs to deal with the Chinese army and even unarmed peaceful residents. They established a large number of research and development bacterial weapons and conducted live experiments on Chinese people.
.Looking forward to the day when these bacterial weapons can be used to help them massacre the unyielding Chinese people.
The current Lieutenant General Yoshio Hongo strongly condemns the use of white phosphorus bombs equipped with radio proximity fuzes by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which are much more humane weapons than their chemical weapons and bacteriological weapons. Really
What's worse is that when a crow alights on a pig, you only see others' blackness, but you don't see how black you are.
After investing a large amount of white phosphorus bombs, the firepower of the Japanese supporting artillery dropped immediately. The artillery was not much better, and the artillery casualties were too heavy. Not to mention the artillery that was pulled out from other directions and turned around. They were the original ones on the front line of Shantun.
The Japanese artillery hidden in semi-underground fortifications also suffered heavy losses from such aerial bombs.
At the same time, as a large number of aviation forces participated in the war, Hongo Yoshio's breakout operation became more and more difficult. The napalm bombs dropped by the anti-Union aviation forces set the entire ravine on fire, making Hongo Yoshio's
It can be said that the reserve team has nowhere to hide. In addition, there are a large number of high-explosive bombs and high-explosive artillery shells, as well as the overwhelming guns and rockets shot down by the swooping aircraft.
In Yoshio Hongo's breakout operation, the number of casualties was doubling almost every hour. But despite the increasing pressure behind him, Yoshio Hongo, who was obviously unwilling to give up, mobilized all the resources he could get on hand.
The last remaining mobile troops were sent out to strengthen the offensive.
He also sent a force to the southeast, via Nangou, to the direction of Guta Temple, in an attempt to bypass the blocking line of the frontal resistance alliance. He then detoured behind the blocking troops to open a passage for the entire army to break through. It was a pity that he was cunning.
, his opponent in front of him, Du Kaishan, can be described as cunning.
As soon as his roundabout troops rushed through Taiping Village, they were stopped by a reinforced battalion of the Anti-Japanese Alliance who came out from the middle. The two armies fought against each other in the narrow mountains, and the area east of Taiping Village became a new battlefield. In other areas,
In the direction of the enemy, the anti-alliance attack forces took advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army to mobilize and break through, and also continued to launch attacks.
In a ravine southwest of Majiazhai, Lin Qungao, commander of the 11th Battalion of the 3rd Armored Brigade, was smoking a cigarette. Looking at the mountain in front of him, he turned around and asked the correspondent around him impatiently if they had found the guide.
?The little devil's position is like a fire hedgehog. If he rushes directly towards it, he and his brothers will have to surrender.
The mountains in this area are not high, compared with the mountainous areas that pass through the mountainous areas of Liaodong. The mountains here are hilly at best, but the fortifications built by the little devils are too dense. All the commanding heights in the entire mountainous area of Majiazhai
, are all controlled by the Japanese army. All the ravines around Majiazhai are under the control of Japanese artillery fire.
In fact, Lin Qungao believed that although this altitude was not high, the undulating terrain and even the lack of a dirt road of sufficient width were not suitable for his tank operations. Although the enemy had abandoned some small hills with low undulations and would
The troops are mainly concentrated at the commanding heights. But it is precisely this commanding heights that it is difficult for them to seize in a short time.
I can get in and out quickly, but if the infantry can't keep up, if the tank goes deep alone, it will only seek death. In front of such a dense fortification group in the mountains, without enough infantry, my tank will be exposed all around.
exposed to enemy fire.
The infantry cannot quickly keep up with the actions of its own tanks. If the infantry is carried by a tank, in the face of the enemy's crossfire, the infantry can only be beaten passively and has no power to fight back. How will this battle be fought? Can the infantry keep up with the tanks?
Movement, this is the key issue.
But when the superior ordered his tank battalion to cooperate with the infantry to seize the basswood ridge in the southwest, he played a trick. He only used the tanks to rush in quickly, fire quickly and then withdraw. Or he rotated the turret ninety degrees.
Speed, only a tank turret-mounted machine gun, a combination of rapid advancement and reversing.
Although the Japanese army at Bassaki Ridge was finally defeated, it was severely criticized by superiors for causing heavy casualties to the infantry and delaying the completion of the combat plan. This time, although they were very dissatisfied with this style of play,
I don't take it seriously, but the orders are like a mountain, and I can't do it unless I execute them.
But Lin Qungao, who obviously didn't want to fight head-on, decided to have a small-scale tank battle after carefully looking at the terrain. He bypassed Majiazhai and faced Jinjiazhai, Maze, and Huashan.
, the enemy's fortification group in the front, took out one of his guys from the flank.
But he still had to figure out how to make a detour. Several commanding heights around Majiazhai were all controlled by the enemy. The depth of his position was all under the observation of the Japanese. If he couldn't find a good way, I'm afraid the operation would have just begun.
, everything will be exposed. So after arriving here, his first thought was to send someone to find a guide.
It was just a platoon from the reconnaissance company directly under the brigade that was cooperating with their actions. It had been more than two hours since they left and they still hadn't come back. This undoubtedly made him very anxious. Whether he could find someone who was familiar with the surrounding geographical environment was directly related to his situation.
Can this detour be successful?
The people around these people naturally don't know what map signs such as contour lines are. But where the mountain pass here leads and the trend of the small river can just make up for the shortcomings of the map in their hands. Is it a local snake?
, who is familiar with the terrain in this area?
Looking at Lin Qun who was a little impatient, the instructor on the side said with a smile: "Old Lin, don't worry. This area is a mountainous area, and the population itself is not large. In addition, it is now a war zone, I'm afraid we can find
There are even fewer people. The reconnaissance platoon took into consideration that it had run a little far, so the speed was slower."
"There is still enough time now. I think you should wait patiently for a while. Let the troops have a good rest. These days of continuous fighting and fighting have made the troops quite tired. The infantry who cooperate with us are also very tired. You have to
Let the brothers get some tips, drink some water, and replenish their physical strength."
In response to his instructor's persuasion, Lin Qungao shook his head. After telling the troops to disguise themselves, he put out the cigarette butts in his hands. He walked to a hilltop on the edge of the ravine, raised his binoculars and looked carefully at the distance not far away.
Majiazhai is looming among the mountains.
As well as the layers of Japanese fortifications surrounding Majiazhai, which were fighting fiercely with the attacking infantry. The impatience in my heart was getting stronger and stronger. Although the radio said that the brigade commander did not say much after learning about his plan.
What. But also tell him that no matter what he thinks, he must complete the interleaved task within the designated time.
If he cannot cooperate with the infantry to open the gap within the specified time, he, the brigade commander, will go to a military court, but before that, he will kill the troublemaker. Lin Qungao knows that the brigade commander is tacitly approving his actions.
and shared the risk for themselves.
But he also knew that if he failed to appear in Majiazhai in time, the brigade commander would really take the blame for him. He was afraid that his old leader would take the blame for his actions. This was the reason why he was really anxious.
Gritting his teeth, Lin Qungao had already made up his mind. If he couldn't find a guide in half an hour, he would follow the original plan and go to the fire net array.
