Although he was a turtle man in the mountains, he could still keep his composure after hearing this unexpected gunshot. [. Being experienced in the battlefield, he understood that if the other party found him, it would not be sporadic, but more like a misfired gunshot.
.As a captain of the Colonel Corps who has been serving as an army officer since graduating from the non-commissioned officer school, he could still tell whether the gunshot was a misfire or a test shot.
He can keep his composure, but there are very few artillerymen around him who have participated in such a close combat, let alone experienced such a situation. Hearing this gunshot, because the artillery regiment captain followed the division headquarters, the acting ten
Major Fuji Kawada, the first battalion commander of the Fourth Division Artillery Regiment, thought he had been seen through by his opponent.
This man has been working as a teacher at the artillery school since graduation. This time, after the 14th Division was transferred to Northeast China, he was assigned to the front-line combat brigade. Major Fujiya Kawada was extremely lacking in actual combat experience and was somewhat panicked when faced with the situation in front of him.
Regardless of the agreement reached by several military units to strictly obey the orders of Takayama Turtle before the breakout. Without receiving the order from Takayama Turtle to fight back, in order to avoid being passive, he did not hesitate to order his troops to fight back.
.
Although his counterattack was extremely fast, the consequences were very serious. The firepower of his counterattack made the Japanese soldiers who still had a sense of luck, especially in the hope of muddle through, hoping that the opponent would not launch a full-scale attack, no matter how they tried,
Ignoring him and continuing his journey, the traces that Takayama Turtle Man had painstakingly covered up were undoubtedly revealed. However, it was such an inadvertent accident that caused Major Kawada to act recklessly, but it changed the fate of a group of people.
After Kawada Fuji's counterattack, both Kai Jingqing, who led the team, and several battalion and company commanders immediately felt that something was wrong. The reason is very simple. The Fourteenth Division is currently under the jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army.
In addition to the first division, which was given priority, the second main division was equipped with the latest Japanese Type 99 rifle machine gun. This type of Japanese Type 38 rifle has low lethality due to the low lethality of the 65mm bullet.
Rifles and light machine guns developed.
The gunshots of these two new weapons are quite different from the 38-type rifles and Taisho 11-year-old machine guns currently commonly equipped by the Japanese army because of the different ammunition used. In the entire Kwantung Army, except for the First Division,
In addition, only the 14th Division has now been completely equipped with this type of rifle machine gun that started mass production at the beginning of this year.
Except for the 1st and 14th divisions, the other divisions of the Kwantung Army, including the 8th, 11th, and 12th divisions, are all equipped with the Type 38
Rifle. Although the light machine gun has also been replaced, it is still the Type 96 light machine gun that fires 65 bullets, instead of the Type 99 light machine gun that fires 77 bullets.
Since Yang Zhen came out, although he has captured a very large military warehouse of the Japanese army and wiped out a large number of Japanese troops, among the captured Japanese rifle machine guns, in addition to those used against the Second and Fourth Divisions,
In addition to a large number of Type 96 light machine guns, the rest are all Type 38 rifles and Type 11 light machine guns. Although Yang Zhen's troops are equipped with a large number of weapons, they are not equipped with these two
The latest rifle machine gun of the Japanese army.
However, Hai Jingqing, as the deputy commander of the main regiment of the Second Column, is no stranger to these two new Japanese equipment. In the first phase of the battle, the Second Column captured many of these two latest Japanese rifle machine guns.
After Wang Xiaoming discovered that the Japanese army had begun to install new rifles and machine guns, he specially organized cadres above the company to experiment with these two new Japanese weapons when the war slowed down a bit. Hai Jingqing expressed his concern for this rifle that uses 77 bullets.
The sound of gunfire, completely different from that of a 38-meter rifle, was very familiar.
Hai Jingqing, who was originally annoyed because the soldiers made such a low-level mistake as firing while marching, and the friendly troops around him actually fired back, heard this special gunshot, immediately reacted to the silent troops around him, and
Not friendly forces, but Japanese troops.
Although he was a little paralyzed before, he was not mediocre after all. After judging from the sound of gunfire that the somewhat strange troop around him was the Japanese army, Hai Jingqing did not passively lie down and fight back, nor did he fall into panic.
Without any hesitation, they immediately deployed their troops and charged head-on. Even the heavy machine guns, mortars and anti-aircraft machine guns on the pack horses had no time to unload. The distance between the two sides was too close.
In fact, since it was already close to its target, Deshan, the reinforced battalion led by Hai Jingqing had already formed a combat formation when marching. Moreover, when an accident occurred, the large forces of both sides had already passed by each other. Any accident occurred.
It is the finishing touch for both sides, the breaking up of the troops.
Although they were caught off guard due to the sudden situation, the 18th Regiment is an old-bones unit, the main force among the main forces. Its speed of reaction and strong psychological quality are far beyond the reach of newly formed units. Its desire to fight*
The strength of the army is unmatched by new troops or even ordinary troops.
Although there were a lot of casualties under the sudden fire attack from the opponent, they did not fall into panic. After the gunshot, without even waiting for orders from their superiors, the commanders of each company immediately followed the daily training requirements and came to
They made a ten-degree U-turn and divided the troops into two groups according to their respective marching forces as quickly as possible, outflanking the two wings of the Japanese army that they originally thought were friendly forces but now looked like enemy forces.
The company behind them, regardless of how many opponents there were, spread out and launched a full-company assault in the direction of the gunshots. Just now, there were only the sounds of hurried footsteps from both sides, and intensive gunfire and gunshots came from the eastern area of Deshan.
Grenade explosion.
Seeing that his opponent was alarmed, even though the strength of the two sides was almost the same, Alpine Turtle Man originally did not intend to fight. Because he knew that once the delay here continued and the opponent's main force came up, he would really be in trouble every day.
Yes, the ground is not working properly, and there is nowhere to run even if you want to.
After discovering that the artillerymen at the rear were bitten by the chasing opponents and unable to escape, Gao Shanguifu had no intention of saving him at all. He even held the artillerymen at the rear, entangled by the opponents who had reacted, to delay the opponent's pursuit, in order to
Give yourself the idea of leaving the battlefield quickly with the main force.
It's just that his plan was good, but he didn't expect that his opponent didn't fight back on the spot, didn't show any panic, and didn't give him time to retreat. When he discovered that what he thought was a friendly force turned out to be an enemy force, the enemy
The army did not even make any tactical adjustments at all. They simply divided their troops into two groups and quickly outflanked their two wings. The opponents in front of them were of such high quality and eager to fight that even the tortoises on the mountain were frightened.
A big jump.
At the same time, several rounds of illumination bombs also flew into the air along with the sound of gunfire, illuminating the small plain east of Deshan, which was originally dark.
The Japanese troops, relying on the cover of night, could no longer hide.
Looking at the more than a thousand Japanese troops exposed by the flares, Hai Jingqing almost regretted it. If it hadn't been for the accidental fire incident, such a large group of Japanese troops would have slipped away from under his nose. Fortunately, now
It's not too late, there is still room for recovery.
Facing the brigade commander's constant urging from the walkie-talkie, Hai Jingqing didn't care about being polite. He quickly found his current location on the map, grabbed the walkie-talkie and reported the coordinates, and said: "I'm with you.
I encountered a large group of Japanese troops. Let me say it again. I encountered a large group of Japanese troops.
"There are about a thousand Japanese troops in front of me now. Judging from their marching route and movements, they should be Japanese troops that broke out from the direction of Deshan. Now they have entered the battle and are entangled with their opponents. They cannot reach Deshan on time.
Shan. Let me say it again, I have already entered the battle and cannot get to Deshan on time. Please ask the superior commander to mobilize other troops to reinforce Deshan. We can't get out at all now."
After that, he dropped the walkie-talkie and told the correspondent to keep in touch with the brigade. He pulled the submachine gun from the guard and pulled the bolt. He turned to the battalion commander beside him and said: "Tell the troops to cheer up."
"We will attack without leaving any one behind. Even if we all fall here today, we will never let this group of devils stand out."
"Let's also show those people in the first column what ace is and what a fist force is. ***, these bastards almost deceived me. If we can't keep these devils here today, the news will spread to a thousand
The Japanese actually sneaked away openly under our noses, which makes us lose face."
The Sixth Brigade and the Eighteenth Regiment are the fist troops of the Sixth Brigade, and the Sixth Brigade is the main force of the Second Column. This is also why when Yang Zhen mobilized his troops to advance eastward, why the Sixth Brigade was the first choice. This Sixth Brigade was formed from the original Second Brigade and Three Regiments.
, coupled with the old foundation of a regiment and a battalion, the whole army has the unique arrogance of an ace army.
Except for a tough battle in the first phase of the battle and a few head-to-head battles with the 14th Division. After the eastward transfer, I have been playing a soy sauce role in other people's organizations. Basically, I either guarantee the flanks or do it.
All the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Brigade, who had basically nothing to do in the battle such as covering, breaking up the rear, and cleaning the battlefield, were filled with anger. Seeing the Japanese troops in front of them, they looked like hungry wolves seeing fresh meat.
generally?
Ordinary soldiers are like this, let alone mid-level commanders like Hai Jingqing. Especially when he found out that he had been deceived and almost let such an enemy slip away from his nose, Hai Jingqing felt very shameless.
He said that even his lungs almost exploded.
Realizing that he had almost escaped being fooled, he was suffocating in his heart. He had already made up his mind to leave the reinforced battalion he brought here, but he would still do it anyway. He was so audacious that he actually dared to show up under his own nose.
The little devils who are plotting and scheming underneath me stay here.
As for whether the troops are sufficient, he believes that the brigade will not ignore him after knowing his current situation. After receiving the report, the brigade commander and the political commissar will find ways to mobilize troops to support him.
In fact, there was no need for him to give the order for the entire army to attack. When each company launched a counterattack on its own without waiting for orders from its superiors, the 1st Battalion of the 18th Regiment had almost sent out the entire army. Not to mention ordinary cadres and soldiers, even the company
The cooks all threw down the iron pots on their backs, raised their kitchen knives or grabbed a few grenades from the infantry and rushed out, leaving no one behind.
