Chapter five hundred and fifth close-range ambush (1)
When Tao Jingfei heard Yi Liangpin's explanation, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. ['.Street fighting is different from field fighting, especially when the local people have not been evacuated before the war, so they are helpless when fighting. Except for some Belarusian and Japanese people,
In addition to human beings, most of them are our own flesh and blood compatriots. This shell will cause a lot of casualties. The shells will not identify those who are Chinese, those who are Japanese, and those who are Belarusian.
When the headquarters conveyed the Second Column’s battle outside Fangzheng County, Tao Jingfei didn’t take it seriously. But when he encountered it, he realized what a headache is and what a rat-proof weapon is. Looking at the map of Harbin city on the table, Tao Jingfei could only smile bitterly.
. Surrounded by Chinese people, the Japanese army had no scruples, but they themselves could not.
After thinking for a while, Tao Jingfei said: "Old Yi, don't fight anymore, put up a battalion and watch them first. We can't be pinned down by a regiment because of such a small number of Japanese and puppet troops. Watch them first, and wait for the column
When the main force and artillery arrive, I will assign the column's flamethrower company to you. Since these bastards can't get out of their turtle shells, we'll burn them out with fire."
Over there, Yi Liangpin heard Tao Jingfei's order. After thinking for a while, he said: "Commander, I would like to ask your permission to fight for an hour. I just received a report that the troops in front have now cleared out the only remaining Japanese troops."
Two 20mm anti-tank guns eliminated the threat posed by Japanese anti-tank guns to our tanks.
"The tank assigned to me now can shoot close to the firing hole of the Japanese bunker. The 37 cannon on the tank cannot chew through the reinforced concrete outside, but it can penetrate from the firing hole and kill the Japanese and puppet troops inside.
If you give me another hour, I think it should be about the same."
"If it doesn't work, I will use tanks to approach the cover and carry out close-range blasts. Commander, we have captured so many Japanese warehouses this time, I think there should be arms warehouses inside. If you ask people to search for them, there will definitely be artillery.
If we don’t have powerful field artillery, even Type 41 mountain artillery will do. Although the number of these Japanese and puppet troops is not large, they will still be a future trouble if they stay here."
Tao Jingfei pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and finally nodded: "I will give you one hour at the end. You must eliminate the last resistance of these Japanese and puppet troops. If you can't solve it, leave some troops to watch them. But there are two
The first thing you need to remember is not to cause too many casualties. This battle is just the beginning, and we don’t know how cruel the rest will be."
"Secondly, we must not let these Japanese and puppet troops escape. We must cleanly and completely eliminate these little devils and the puppet Manchukuo army who have been working for the tiger and will not look back at this time. There are ordinary people everywhere here. Once the little devils get anxious, they can do anything.
Let’s do it. We can’t do what the Second Column did in Fangzheng, where the Japanese held our compatriots hostage and used them as human shields.”
Over there, Yi Liangpin heard that Tao Jingfei agreed that he would fight for an hour. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "Commander, I promise to complete the mission and completely eliminate this Japanese and puppet army. I will never let the Fang Zheng incident happen again in Harbin."
Stage it and give the little devils a chance to use our compatriots as human shields."
Having said this, Yi Liangpin hesitated for a moment and then said: "Actually, Commander, I don't have to do it all at once. It's just that in my opinion, this opportunity is very rare for us. According to the current development speed of the army and the progress of the war,
, it is very likely that we will face street fighting in the future. This is a rare opportunity for actual combat training, and I want to put several battalions of the 15th Regiment into it in turn to experience it."
Hearing Yi Liangpin's thoughts, Tao Jingfei pondered for a moment and then said: "Old Yi, I understand that opportunities for street fighting are rare. But you have to pay attention to the surrounding residential areas. I guess the Japanese must have known the news of the reinforcements. They are struggling to die.
They may go to any lengths, especially if they have a large stockpile of ammunition."
"I'll have people check the captured Japanese warehouses to see if there are any artillery pieces. I'll send them to you as soon as possible. Lao Yi, follow the order. There are plenty of opportunities, but we can't do this in a place with a population of hundreds of thousands.
Mass killings are going on in big cities. We cannot afford to take this risk. Seize the time to resolve the battle, the Japanese army will not leave us too much time to delay here."
After listening to Tao Jingfei's suggestion, although he thought this was a rare opportunity, in the face of strict discipline, Yi Liangpin had no choice but to give up. At the same time, he gradually transferred the troops of the 15th Regiment back and drove to the designated location according to the order of the column.
Construct fortifications. On the other hand, a reinforced battalion was left behind, coordinated by a company of tanks, to launch a final attack on the headquarters of the Japanese Second Independent Guard Force.
Over there, Yi Liangpin entered the final attack. A main battalion of the 13th Regiment of the 5th Brigade and the 14th Regiment in Shuangcheng, as well as some tanks and cavalry units, were also seizing the time to prepare for the attack. It only took an hour.
It was so hurried that it was too late to even prepare the most rudimentary field fortifications.
Seeing that it was too late to build the fortifications. In desperation, He Zhishan, the deputy commander of the fifth brigade who was commanding the forward operations, remembered the Shentouling ambush battle fought by the Guan Nei troops under the noses of the Shanxi Japs that the brigade commander said. He gritted his teeth, except
On the east and west sides of the railway line, there is a company in each direction of the Sui family shack and Zhang Zheng shack as a security force.
The rest of the troops deployed on the spot, and the two battalions requisitioned the houses on both sides of the freight yard of the railway line as temporary bunkers. The troops were hidden in these Manchu railways, which were less than thirty meters away from the railway line, and only two or three meters away.
In a house that is ten meters or even less than ten meters away, in addition to seizing the time to drill a large number of shooting holes on the side of the house facing the railway, all the windows were covered with sandbags and used as machine gun bunkers.
As for the attached tank troops, they are hidden in several large warehouses in the freight yard of Shuangcheng Railway Station. The artillery and installed large-caliber machine guns on the tanks are aimed at the warehouse doors, and the remaining troops are hidden in two sides of the freight yard.
In the roadside ditch at each entrance and exit, perform the function of pinching the head and removing the tail.
The regiment's mortar company, rapid-fire artillery company, infantry artillery company and anti-aircraft machine gun company were scattered and hidden in the houses on both sides of the railway line. The two artillery staff officers moved the entire freight yard of Shuangcheng Station as quickly as possible.
He divided the shooting areas for each artillery company and strictly defined the shooting targets of several companies. His observation post was set up on the water tower next to the cargo yard.
As for these houses, they are all so-called Manchuria property run by the Japanese, and he will not take them seriously. However, in order to prevent the Japanese army from using railway tracks as bunkers to resist, he placed more than a thousand anti-infantry mines he carried on
With the cooperation of the brigade engineering company, they were all deployed on the platform, between the rails, and on the roadbed on both sides of the rails. An alternative model of all-round fire strike network was formed.
Although it had been decided to use the Manchuria houses on both sides of the railway line as temporary fortifications, thus eliminating the most tedious work. When the long military train carrying the leading troops of the Japanese 25th Division drove in
In the freight yard of Shuangcheng Station, it took less than five minutes to complete the deployment of mines, firepower, and troop deployment.
Looking at the long string of military trains that gradually came into his sight, the high-power steam locomotives made by Manchurian Railway under heavy pressure seemed a bit bulky. As a railway worker, he still had a clear idea of how many people each freight train could carry.
He Zhishan couldn't help but feel shocked.
Judging from the number of wagons pulled by this Japanese military column, the Japanese army is definitely not just an infantry brigade, but at least a reinforced brigade. Although it is not yet clear how many Japanese troops there are, He Zhishan can be sure that the Japanese military column is
The number of Japanese troops shipped must have exceeded the intelligence obtained.
Although it can be seen that the number of Japanese troops on the military column exceeds the size of a brigade, the distance between the enemy and ourselves is now so close that it is too late to adjust the deployment. Gritting his teeth, He Zhishan went down
Determined to fight no matter how many troops the Japanese army came, even if it was a regiment, we would still fight according to the original plan.
Under the threat of gunpoint, the so-called Manchurian who served as the deputy director of the freight yard at Shuangcheng Station had no choice but to turn on the parking light. Seeing the parking light on in the freight yard, this long military column did not know
reasons, but it slowly stopped.
Since the car was carrying a large number of Kwantung Army soldiers and other living ancestors, although the driver didn't know why the stop signal came on in front of him, he still had to stop for safety reasons. Although this place is far away from Shuangcheng, the only parking point on the way north to Harbin.
The station was very close, only a few kilometers away. But for safety reasons, the driver still stopped the train.
This freight yard is a freight yard dedicated to the Kwantung Army. Even if there is an accident at Shuangcheng Station, it is still safe on the territory of the Kwantung Army. So when the driver stopped, even though he had not yet arrived at the scheduled rest and assembly area, he took the
The commander of the 14th Regiment of the 25th Division, Colonel Gatachi Iwaji, didn't care either.
In his opinion, since they are all about taking a break, they are resting there. There is not much difference between Shuangcheng Railway Station and the freight yard which is only one kilometer away from Shuangcheng Station. And in his mind, this place is exclusively for the Kwantung Army.
The goods yard is also much safer than the train station where there are many people coming and going.
It's a good idea to park here. It's also a good opportunity to get in touch with Lieutenant General Suzuki Teichi, the new division commander who succeeded Lieutenant General Shiro Kuwahara, who was dismissed after the defeat of the battle last autumn, and see if the Kwantung Army headquarters is still there.
Are there any new instructions?
In this era, there were no communication tools such as on-board phones on the trains. If you wanted to get information during the operation, there was almost no communication method except stopping at the station. The military's own radio station on the military train could only be used on the train.
It can only be set up when parking.
In view of the increasingly severe situation, the Kwantung Army Headquarters has repeatedly urged the 25th Division to arrive in Harbin in the shortest time. Therefore, after setting off from Xinjing, the stations passed along the way, except for
Apart from stopping for a while to refuel at Taolaizhao Station and preparing to take a short rest at Shuangcheng Station, I have not made or plan to make any stops.
He had not received any news yet, and Colonel Iwatachi Iwaji, who did not know that Harbin had been lost at this time, ordered to get in touch with the division headquarters as soon as he parked the car. It was not that he thought something would happen to Harbin, he was concerned about the front
Is Harbin ready to receive the 25th Division?
