When the Japanese grenadier who had just prepared to launch according to the order of Takayama Turtle, only had time to fire one grenade. [.Com text: The sound of mortars that had just subsided sounded again, knocking out the remaining forty
Many mortar shells were all thrown on the heads of the Japanese soldiers.
After all, it is a veteran division of the Japanese army. The soldiers of the 14th Division are indeed well-trained. Although it was at night and under the suppression of the opponent's firepower, they aimed in a hurry. Although they only had time to fire one grenade,
The accuracy of this grenade was quite astonishing. A heavy machine gun deployed by Hai Jingqing on the east side was destroyed by this single grenade.
If all seven grenades were fired, it would probably not be a matter of losing a heavy machine gun. However, even though one heavy machine gun was destroyed, it would not help the situation of the entire battle.
One heavy machine gun was lost, which partially weakened the firepower. But it had little impact on the overall firepower deployment. One heavy machine gun was lost, and there were five other heavy machine guns. Compared with the heavy machine guns, it had little effect on the Japanese army.
The two anti-aircraft machine guns that were more threatening were still unscathed. The only thing the Japanese army had time to fire was this grenade.
Those Japanese grenadiers who tried to squat down only fired one grenade, and either the mortar shells and their weapons were reduced to parts. Or they were shot by large-caliber machine gun bullets that penetrated the simple human bunkers.
Easily smashed. The plan of the Alpine Turtle Man was easily suppressed as soon as it came to light.
Having lost his last resort, Takayama Turtle was in complete despair this time. Being unable to shoot down the opponent's machine gun meant that he could not open a hole in front of the opponent's fire net. And being unable to open the hole would be a dead end for him.
Ichichi. Knowing that there was no chance of survival today, the turtle man in the mountains gritted his teeth and led the remaining 200 Japanese troops to launch a final futile attack.
Looking at the Japanese soldiers who refused to bow their heads, Hai Jingqing showed a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth and said to the staff officer beside him: "Damn, after all, this is a veteran division, this skill is really needed. Killed with one grenade.
I have a heavy machine gun, but if we let them shoot out all the grenades on their hands, we might really be self-defeating."
"This time I was a little careless and allowed them to succeed in the sneak attack. But I must not give them a second chance. Give an order to have all the troops charge. In the shortest time, the remaining less than 200 Japanese will be eliminated.
If we solve it as soon as possible, we can take a rest early."
After receiving his order, the combat staff did not hesitate. He pulled out his signal gun and fired a red signal flare into the sky, signaling an all-out attack. When this red and somewhat dazzling signal flare slowly rose, it had just fallen silent.
The cry to kill rang out again.
When the dying Alpine Turtle Man took the remaining less than 200 people, he once again braved the opponent's intensive machine gun fire and launched a charge. Once again, he paid a heavy price, and finally rushed to the distance where the opponent had killed 100% of himself.
When Jiushi's machine gun position was less than thirty meters away, he sadly found that even if he rushed forward, he would no longer have the strength to break through his opponent's position, which in his opinion did not have many troops.
There are only seventy or eighty troops left around him. Facing the opponent's reinforcements of a whole company, he is like a moth flying into a flame. Although his ferocity has not diminished, facing the absolute strength that has formed at this moment,
The superior opponent, Alpine Turtle Man's final blow did not even raise a small splash of water.
After a dense rain of grenades and a wild sweep of submachine guns, and only ten minutes of fighting with bayonets, the entire battlefield returned to calm. Takayama Turtle and his last remaining seventy or eighty subordinates
, all were shot to death within a distance of less than thirty meters from their last way of survival.
When Hai Jingqing's superiors, the commander of the 18th Regiment, and the political commissar rushed to the battlefield with reinforcements at the speed of a rapid march, Hai Jingqing's side had completely ended the battle. They had already begun to clean the battlefield and collect Japanese weapons.
The seriously wounded Japanese soldiers who were unable to move were left aside to wait for treatment.
Takayama Turtle tried his best to create an opportunity for himself to break through, but he did not expect to attract the opponent's attention to himself, making himself the target of encirclement and annihilation. If he failed to break through, the entire army would be destroyed. But his actions were
However, it created an opportunity for the division and regiment headquarters to carefully break out from the west along the west bank of the Ant River.
After dropping part of the artillery, heavy equipment, and search regiments on the Deshan front line to attract the opponent's attention, Kita Seiichi took his division headquarters and guard troops and turned around to the southwest, under the cover of night.
Get down, throw away all items that hinder your movement, and retreat quickly and covertly.
Taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield and before the opponent could completely seal the encirclement, Kita Seiichi relied on his keen sense of smell developed over many years as an agent to arrive at the bank of the Ant River without any danger. When he arrived at the river, he was not in a hurry.
Crossing the river to join up with the Second Regiment, they took advantage of the opportunity to fight their way out of Fangzheng County. Even in the most dangerous moment, they did not drop any door panels, and the makeshift raft went straight down the river.
While Gaoshan Turtle was fighting hard east of Deshan and making his final struggle, his immediate boss either used a makeshift raft to go down the river, or crossed the river and sneaked close to the west bank, carefully avoiding
Go straight south wherever there may be opponents.
Thanks to being overly cautious, the road there was not good and we had to go there. Compared to the high mountain turtles who were blocked everywhere, the 14th Division Headquarters led by Kita Seiichi had a smooth journey. It can be described as a near miss.
Under the cover of night, no one has ever discovered it. Although almost all the heavy equipment was lost, and even the radio station was stuck in the swamp beside the Ant River. But before dawn, the opponent's encirclement was finally highlighted.
After a night of fierce fighting until dawn, the entire 14th Division, except for the division headquarters that broke out of the encirclement, only lost contact with the division headquarters and saw that the situation was not going well. Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent's reinforcements had not yet arrived, they hurriedly led the troops with them.
The troops that were still able to escape rushed out of the 2nd Regiment, which was rapidly retreating along the east bank of the Ant River.
This guy Onimoto Takeichi, his parents really gave him the right name, and he is a very good ghost. After losing one-third of his life force in the daytime battle, he had already begun to think about retreating. Just let him
He didn't have the courage to abandon the division headquarters and retreat on his own.
However, after hearing the intensive gunfire in the east of Hedong and the sky-high fire in Fangzheng County at night, he knew that the division headquarters had either deserted or had encountered something unexpected, and he immediately retreated southward along the Ant River. Although in Fangzheng
He left behind a large group that was engaged in a fierce battle with his opponents in the western mountainous area, but he was able to escape from the battlefield with the remaining squadrons before the troops of the Sixth Brigade who crossed the river upstream arrived before him.
The 59th Regiment, which was flanked by Ma Chunshan and Chai Shirong, was not so lucky. The retreat route had been blocked by the opponent, and the front had to resist the opponent's fierce attack. The 59th Regiment, which had suffered heavy blood loss in the previous stage, was not so lucky.
After a day of fighting in the middle of the night, the Ninth Regiment still failed to break through the siege. At dawn, they were surrounded by a swarm of opponents on the front line of Zhao Pao Tun.
If a reinforced regiment commanded by Chai Shirong had not been distracted by the reinforcements of the 29th Division, would the 59th Regiment be able to persist in this night battle that almost involved the entire 14th Division?
By daybreak, I am afraid that their commander, Colonel Yumi Nasu, would not even know about it.
When Guo Bingxun, who was in command at Tonghe, received a report that with the full support of the aviation force, the 14th Division in Fangzheng territory had been severely damaged and lost its combat effectiveness after two nights and one day of fighting, he should have rushed to Tonghe to take over and prepare for a roundabout route.
Guo Bingxun from Harbin, who was still in Jiamusi with Major General Grigorenko, Chief of Staff of the Soviet Far East Military Region, and Yang Zhen, the American representative, breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Guo Bingxun's request for instructions on hand, given that the detour ministries were currently in place, whether to attack with the entire army, Yang Zhen, who had just finished negotiating with Major General Grigorenko, did not hesitate at all and approved Guo Bingxun's request for instructions immediately. In
From Yang Zhen's point of view, the fighter opportunity was fleeting. Although it was not 100% sure to attack at this time, it was the best time.
While agreeing with Guo Bingxun to lead the first column and the entire fourth column out of Lingxi, in order to ensure the safety of Guo Bingxun's flanks, Yang Zhen ordered Wang Xiaoming and Chen Hanzhang's troops who had completed the battle against the 14th Division to seize the time to clear out the remaining enemies and rest on the spot.
, replenish the troops, and on the other hand, suppress the 29th Division so that it cannot reinforce Harbin.
At the same time, Yang Zhen gave orders to Liu Changshun and Du Kaishan on the eastern front to form the Eastern Front Corps. Du Kaishan commanded the three columns and the last troops in Liu Changshun's hands continued to suppress the Hulin Fortress and the Japanese troops in Suiyang.
Capture Hulin Fortress in the shortest time.
After issuing orders in succession, Yang Zhen rubbed his bloodshot eyes after two more nights of no rest. These past few days were the most tiring for him since he returned to this era. During the day, he had to negotiate with Soviet representatives.
The Americans were engaged in verbal quarrels, thinking about fighting at night, and constantly paying attention to the war on the east and west fronts. Even he, who always thought he was energetic, felt unusually tired.
In fact, for Yang Zhen, at this stage of the battle, a big victory is already firmly in his hands. He defeated four Japanese divisions in one battle and severely damaged the record of two divisions. No matter where it comes from,
It was enough to go. At the same time, as the war situation became brighter and brighter, Jiangbei's original attitude was gradually changing.
After completing the encirclement and annihilation of the 6th and 12th Divisions, the Soviet army's resolute attitude has changed. Although it has not yet succeeded in the end, it has softened a lot compared to the original attitude where there was no room for negotiation.
At least in terms of selling weapons and equipment, although Yang Zhen's goal was not completely achieved, it was still partially agreed to Yang Zhen's request.
Their delay was just to determine how much victory Yang Zhen could achieve in order to determine how much leverage they could gain in the future international situation. Otherwise, after receiving Yang Zhen's invitation telegram, the man who arrived in the name of watching the battle
After Luobei, you can't take a step out.
In addition to listening to Kovalev's report, how could Major General Grigorenko, who had never set foot on the front line, be easily invited to Jiamusi by Yang Zhen with just a telegram? This time he came to Jiamusi to meet Yang Zhen in person
The meeting may not necessarily imply that a decision has been made.
