Wang Guangyu was not in a good mood, and gradually eroded the strength of the 43rd Regiment. [.Com text] After the first stage goal of compressing the 43rd Regiment into a group with superior troops and firepower was achieved.
, Wang Guangyu stopped. He used 122 rocket launchers and concentrated all the special artillery shells to cover the entire encircled area of the 43rd Regiment with firepower.
Hundreds of rounds of fuel-air artillery shells plowed the last position of the 43rd Regiment like a plow. The huge high temperature generated and the large-scale oxygen-deficient space created after the explosion directly plowed the 43rd Regiment's final position.
The 3rd Regiment was sent to hell. After the earth-shattering explosion of hundreds of shells, the 43rd Regiment, as a regiment of the Japanese army, had completely disappeared from the face of the earth.
After these nearly a thousand rounds of artillery shells were fired, in addition to the charred corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the 43rd Regiment's position, the only ones left were the Japanese soldiers who died of suffocation due to lack of oxygen. And the man who thought he could hold on until the reinforcements arrived
Colonel Aoyama Kiyoshi did not escape the disaster and was cremated directly along with his regiment by the Dabaishi River.
After the defeat at Jinshagang and the two-day attack on Baoqing County, the one with the largest number of troops and the most complete combat effectiveness among the three regiments of the 11th Division was completely wiped out. It was only the first attack on the 11th Division.
It's just one step. Of course, the remaining 44th Regiment is not considered a major event due to its strength and firepower.
Compared with the 43rd Regiment, which fought hard all night and failed to break through the encirclement, the remnant of the 44th Regiment, which was trying to break out of the encirclement eastward and tried to cross the Naoli River, did not end well. It was originally thought that it could become
The Naoli River, which was its own natural barrier, became a river of life and death for the remaining troops of the 44th Regiment when it broke through.
The remnants of the 44th Regiment, under the command of Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru, who personally took part in the battle, concentrated a large number of troops in an attempt to forcefully cross the Naoli River and open a channel for the follow-up troops. All operations suffered heavy losses. Prior to the 43rd Regiment,
The 44th Regiment that broke through also gained little benefit from the night battle.
No matter whether Ushijima tried to sneak across or attack by force, he was beaten back by his opponents with intensive machine gun and mortar firepower. Ushijima tried all kinds of tricks and fought fiercely all night, but he could not take a single step forward.
Li River. After a night of fierce fighting, Japanese corpses were floating everywhere in the Naoli River.
Mitsuru Ushijima, who had participated in the so-called mainland battles and was considered a battle-hardened veteran, had never seen an opponent with so many light and heavy machine guns and mortars. According to his estimation, the opponent's machine guns deployed in front of the Naoli River
, more than four to five hundred. There are estimated to be hundreds of light and heavy mortars plus rapid-fire artillery and infantry artillery. These machine guns and mortars formed a tight firepower network, devouring all those trying to cross the river.
Japanese soldiers.
Although the opponent's firepower was meticulous, Ushijima Mitsuru, who was eager to make a breakthrough, could no longer take this into consideration. With the enemy in the north having already reached the North Pass and the East Pass close at hand, it was now the most important thing for Ushijima Mitsuru.
The key is not the number of casualties, but crossing the Naoli River and opening an escape route.
Knowing that the Naoli River was the only escape route for the 11th Division, no matter how reluctant Ushijima was, he could only fill it in one squadron after another in order to open up a way out. Although the battle was almost dawn, watching
Both sides of the river and in the river were covered with the corpses of dead Japanese officers and soldiers as well as the wounded. Even Ushijima Mitsuru, who had always regarded soldiers as expendables, felt a little overwhelmed, but in order to survive, he could only bite the bullet and continue to fill it.
Go down.
After a night of fierce fighting, Ushijima Mitsuru was still unable to break through the blocking line set by his opponent at the Naoli River. However, behind him, the opponent's reinforcements had reached the front line of Beiguan, and the opponent on the southern line had at least one regiment of troops, but they had no time to do so.
Now. Just when Ushijima took advantage of the opportunity for the 44th Regiment to take advantage of the Naoli River, the reinforcements from the north and the south, as well as the Peng Shilu Third Army who returned to the sun after receiving reinforcements, had already completed the attack on the Fourth Army.
The remnants of the 14th Regiment were encircled.
At dawn, the remnants of the 44th Regiment, the main search force of the 11th Division, and more than 3,000 people from the Artillery Regiment were surrounded on the west bank of the Naoli River south of Dongguan, less than two kilometers long from north to south and only five kilometers wide from east to west.
A place as big as the palm of a hundred meters. It is so narrow that a bullet can penetrate it.
Faced with this situation, Wang Guangyu, who was ordered to command Baoqing's operations with full authority, naturally did not hesitate at all. He now has a sufficient number of artillery and ammunition. To deal with these situations, there is neither terrain to rely on nor a solid offensive to support.
Japanese army, he would not exchange the flesh and blood of soldiers for victory.
After completing the encirclement of the 44th Regiment, Wang Guangyu directly talked about the artillery. He divided the last Japanese position on the map into several pieces, and his own artillerymen who temporarily formed several artillery groups divided each piece. From the south to
North, blast it directly with rows of artillery shells.
The 107 rocket launchers and the 122 rocket launchers and heavy artillery that had used up all the new artillery shells, leaving only ordinary explosive and anti-personnel bombs and incendiary bombs, covered the Japanese positions with firepower. The light mountain field artillery closed in on all exposed firepower points of the Japanese army.
Precise shooting, 100mm howitzers and mortars of various calibers cooperated with each other to create a blockade between various Japanese positions and cut off the connection between the various units of the 44th Regiment. The infantry followed the artillery fire.
Behind the barrage, there was a steady fight.
The Japanese army is tenacious, but they are not invincible. They are naturally immune to opponents ranging from 150mm heavy howitzers, 100mm howitzers, 75mm mountain guns to mortar shells of various calibers? An hour's shelling
Down, the entire defense line of the 44th Regiment completely collapsed.
By the time the attacking troops following the artillery rushed forward under the cover of thousands of light and heavy machine guns, as well as a large number of horizontally firing anti-aircraft machine guns, there was actually not much real battle left to fight. Even those who survived the artillery fire
, the Japanese troops who were still resisting were fired with rocket launchers, grenades and machine guns, and there were only a few people left.
By the afternoon of the battle, the entire position of the 44th Regiment had completely collapsed. Most of them were killed in the battle, and a small number were defeated. The 11th Division, which had always relied on firepower to bully poor and weak opponents in the pass, was really kicked to the iron plate this time.
I also tasted a feast of firepower.
Looking at the battle report sent by Wang Guangyu, Yang Zhen shook his head. Regarding his request for instructions on the next battle plan, Yang Zhen kept thinking about it on the way back to Baoqing. Now, all the Japanese military units in the entire Northeast Manchu area, except those still in Suiyang,
Except for the 12th Division which is still intact, the remaining 14th and 29th Divisions are already incomplete.
The remaining Japanese 6th, 10th, and 11th divisions that participated in the war have been completely destroyed. How long the remaining 8th division, which has been depleted, can hold on, can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Just attack Honey at Du Kaishan.
At the front line of the mountain, the main force of the armored brigade commanded by Sun San has cut the only half of the 15th Regiment that still has combat effectiveness in the unit into three parts and is in the process of encirclement and annihilation.
On the front line of Hongling Ridge in Mishan, a regiment of Du Kaishan, with the cooperation of one armored brigade and one cavalry brigade, is also besieging the few troops of the Eighth Division there. Comparing the strength and firepower of the enemy and ourselves
It seems that the Eighth Division's days in this world are numbered.
How should we fight next? Should we attack the city or focus on the 12th, 14th, and 29th divisions? Yang Zhen carefully calculated the comparison of forces on each battlefield. After the 11th division was resolved
, the concentration of several brigades of Wang Guangyu and Liu Changshun in the entire Mishan and Baoqing territory is indeed a bit wasteful. But where should Wang Guangyu's next battle direction be directed, it is a matter that requires serious consideration.
.
The war situation in Manchuria has deteriorated to this point. Neither the Japanese base camp in Tokyo nor the Kwantung Army commander General Umezu Yoshijiro will continue to turn a blind eye. The reinforcements may have already set off, but it is still unclear which troops will be deployed now.
Yang Zhen calculated in his mind that in addition to the various Japanese divisions that had appeared on the battlefield, the Kwantung Army had the bargaining chip to reinforce Northeast Manchuria. Should the 24th and 25th Divisions currently resting in South Manchuria be deployed in
The Seventh Division in Qiqihar? Or the 51st Division that has just been formed? Or the First Division in Heihe?
The 7th Division is probably unlikely. As the 23rd Division deployed on the front line from Manzhouli to Hailar, it protects the rear of the 23rd Division. It can reinforce the second-line division on the Manchuria-Mongolia border at any time when necessary. The 7th Division stationed in Qiqihar
The division will not move easily.
One of the 24th and 25th Divisions is currently in Rehe, and the other has been responsible for the garrison duty from Xinjing to Harbin after the 4th Division was transferred. With the transfer of the 25th Division, the Japanese army was removed from the entire depth.
Apart from a few independent garrison units, everything was empty. So could it be the First Division?
The First Division stationed in the Heihe Province of Puppet Manchuria is now the Japanese army closest to the battlefield besides the Twelfth Division. It is also the unit that poses the greatest threat to its rear. The actual distance between the two armies is only one
The width from east to west is no more than a hundred kilometers, and the widest point is only two to three hundred kilometers from the Lesser Khingan Mountains. If the First Division is willing, they can move eastward at any time.
Its own arsenal, the agencies behind the Northeast Bureau, and Luobei, Tangyuan, and Suibin where the school is located are all within its attack range. During the previous bloody battle, the first division had not been dispatched. Now it has become corrupted to the war situation.
The extremely powerful Kwantung Army would not fail to use this so-called flower of the imperial army.
After Yang Zhen thought about it for a while, he said to a combat staff officer next to him: "Turn around and go to Boli County to meet up with the chief of staff. In a moment, you will send a message to Wang Guangyu and Liu Changshun. Order Wang Guangyu's column to immediately gather its troops and withdraw north to Tangyuan.
Stand by. Order Liu Changshun's entire army to go south and cooperate with Du Kaishan's troops remaining in Mishan and Sun San's armored brigade to complete the final solution to the Eighth Division."
"Order the King of the Western Front to follow suit and Chen Hanzhang's Second Column to closely observe the movements of the 14th Division and prepare for a full-line counterattack. Telegraph the Second Department of the Military Region to closely monitor the next movements of the remaining Japanese divisions in the Northeast. Especially those stationed in New Zealand.
The 29th Division from Beijing to Harbin and the 1st Division stationed in Heihe."
