When he served as a squadron leader, as a member of the Setani detachment, he participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang. When he saw this scene in front of him, he suddenly remembered that it was the same when he was in Taierzhuang. He could not attack for a long time in the face of a solid defense. In the end, Outflanked from behind by the opponent's main force, the 10th Division suffered its biggest defeat since the China Incident.
Today, the opponent's firepower, skills and tactics are obviously twice that of the Chinese defenders in Taierzhuang. After several attacks, he lost two squads. If the fight continues, he will only have one and a half squadrons of troops on hand. You can still fill it out a few times.
Just thinking about the vicious tone of Colonel Sanjutsubo, the commander of the regiment, before the battle, and his clear attitude that he would rather destroy his entire army than capture the opponent's headquarters, Major Tezuka Nakaichi knew that if he retreated at this time , even if he could escape from the depths of this anti-Manchu armed force, he would never let himself be spared by the captain when he returned.
The Eighth Division suddenly withdrew from the battle without any explanation. After the previous hard battle, there were only two regiment commanders left with a large number of troops. This time, they almost used all their troops to cover their infiltration and raid. How can we accept failure easily when taking action?
Listening to the intensive gunfire ringing from the front line, Major Tezuka Nakaichi knew that he had no way out. If he delayed any longer, once the opponent's suppression troops surrounded him, he would have no chance. More than one team below all devoted themselves to the attack.
It's a pity that the opponent obviously didn't give him the opportunity to attack with all his strength. When Major Tezuka Nakaichi had just assembled the final attacking troops, a mortar shell with a caliber of more than 80 mm exploded next to him. , the roar of intensive French light and heavy machine guns sounded behind him, and his men who had just finished gathering were knocked down in droves.
Listening to the intensive sound of machine gunfire behind him, Major Nakaichi Tezuka, who was blasted into the sky by a mortar shell, before landing, the only thought in his mind was: "It's all over. The opponent's main force is encircling. Captain. My plan has failed, and I will never have another chance."
Can Tezuka Nakaichi, who was blasted into the sky by a 90mm mortar shell that exploded next to him, close his eyes? Wasn't it because he was eating a small team sent out by Tezuka Nakaichi to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and urgently returned for reinforcements? Lin Feng from the headquarters had to consider it. For Lin Feng, he was more concerned about whether something happened to the leaders currently in the headquarters.
As the fastest-promoted among the first batch of student soldiers who joined the army in Weihe, and the only one who has been promoted to a full-time regimental position, Lin Feng has a sharp mind, courage, a careful and steady mind, and many clever ideas. Since joining the staff, After joining the teaching team, he was trained by Guo Bingxun. He can be said to be one of Guo Bingxun's most proud disciples in the entire staff training team.
After being transferred to the first division, because of his hard work and hard work, he also won the respect of Liu Changshun and Tao Jingfei, the two top military and political leaders of the division. He was very conceited. However, he did not expect this time that he, who has always been conceited, would not I thought about being tricked around by this small group of Japanese troops in front of me.
It didn't take much effort for him to come out of the headquarters. He discovered that the Japanese sneak attack troops were concealing themselves in depth. Without hesitation, he commanded the troops to chase them. Who knew that the Japanese troops did not fight with them, but only used The tactics of fighting and walking are different from those of roaming.
When he finally surrounded them in a mountain col, Lin Feng discovered to his chagrin that he had fallen into the trap of this group of Japanese soldiers. The Japanese troops he surrounded were no more than two squads, and they were different from the infiltrating Japanese troops reported from the front. Quantities vary greatly.
When intensive gunfire sounded from the headquarters, he figured out the true intentions of these Japanese troops. Lin Feng, furious, left the reconnaissance company behind, while he led the guard company to forcefully get rid of the Japanese troops and immediately turned back. aid.
When he returned to the headquarters and saw that all the leaders were safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and directed all his anger at the small group of Japanese soldiers who had tricked him around.
In fact, he and even Major Tezuka Nakaichi, who had become a god, did not know at all that several people in the headquarters did not take the battle outside at all, at least two of them did not take it seriously at all. This small situation outside is treated as the same thing.
For Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun, what they were thinking more about was seizing this rare opportunity, concentrating the troops that Tao Jingfei could still muster, and eating up the 63rd Regiment in front of them, especially On the premise that the frontline position has been stabilized, whether to launch a tactical counterattack is a matter worth considering for Yang Zhen and others.
After all, for the 63rd Regiment, the two squadrons that had infiltrated were completely wiped out, plus the number of casualties caused by the feint attack on the front-line positions. Although it is far from being broken, the damage was huge after all. If you take this opportunity to eat it in one bite, it will reduce a lot of the burden on subsequent battles.
From the report of Ma Fengqi, the front-line commander, we learned that due to the quick response of the front-line troops, the 63rd Regiment took advantage of this sneak attack to some extent, but its own casualties were not small, and Tao Jingfei suffered some casualties here. , but there are still two more regiments in strength. The most important thing is that reinforcements from two regiments are about to arrive.
The discussion between Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun aroused opposition from Tao Jingfei. The reason for Tao Jingfei's opposition was very clear: "The troops on the left and right wings are not yet in place, and it is still unclear whether the main force of the 11th Division has been dispatched. If now Launching a counterattack against the 63rd Regiment in advance can easily alert the enemy."
Now I have only two regiments on hand. I want to outflank a reinforced Japanese regiment. With some troops left to guard the position, it is obvious that the strength is somewhat insufficient. Not to mention that the newly added troops have not yet arrived. , even when they arrived, they were unable to fully take over the defense for a while, because these troops were all new recruits and had no combat experience.
Tao Jingfei's intention is very obvious, which is to use the favorable terrain from Lao Hei back to Jinsha River to grind with the 63rd Regiment. These two new regiments will not be directly used in front-line battles. They will use the veterans of the two regiments as the backbone to defeat them. Disperse and reorganize the troops, taking advantage of the rare opportunity that the 11th Division has not yet dispatched, so that the new troops, especially the recruits, can be trained.
For a unit with too many new recruits, it is definitely not a good thing to resort to large-scale detours and strong attacks. If the enemy was the puppet Manchukuo army, Tao Jingfei would not give up this rare opportunity to train the unit. Opportunity, but this is a standing division of the Japanese army with a very strong fighting capacity. It is really unwise to let the new troops fight such a battle.
The most critical thing is that as one of the four theaters in the whole, the artillery firepower of the troops commanded by Tao Jingfei is the weakest among the four aspects. In addition to the mountain artillery battalion of the Independent Second Brigade, there is only one hundred reinforced from the second division. Fifty-mm heavy mortar battalion and the field artillery battalion of the third brigade.
With the artillery firepower obviously weaker than that of the Japanese army, it was a head-to-head battle with the 63rd Regiment. Although Tao Jingfei was confident that he could take down the 63rd Regiment, the casualties would definitely not be light, and at the moment , no matter whether the supplementary troops can arrive on time or not, to capture the 63rd Regiment, we will have to use the veterans who can barely make up two regiments to fight.
If the casualties of the old troops are too large, the combat effectiveness of the troops will inevitably decline significantly in a short period of time. When facing a new force like the 11th Division in the next step, this is definitely not a good thing. Losing the 63rd Regiment will certainly gain a certain local advantage, but it will actually do a lot of damage to the overall war situation. A unit with too many new recruits will have a significant decline in combat effectiveness compared to the old unit.
In Tao Jingfei's opinion, it is best not to confront the 63rd Regiment head-on, but to adopt milling tactics and wear him down bit by bit, firstly to allow the recruits to gain training on the battlefield, and secondly, to hide the next step of the headquarters. The tactical intention was to show that the enemy was weak, so that the Japanese army felt that after several days of hard fighting, the blocking force had been weakened to a certain extent.
No matter how favorable the situation is, they can only defend passively and are unable to launch a counterattack, which makes the Japanese army feel that they are just a little bit behind. As long as they invest one unit, they can successfully open up the opponent's entire flank and turn the whole thing into what seems to be a The deadlocked battle situation came to life again.
At the same time, the most important thing is to buy time for Du Kaishan and Yizong. Otherwise, before the roundabout troops on the left and right wings have reached the designated position, once the enemy is alerted and the 11th Division is dispatched, it will definitely not be a good situation for the current battle situation. What a good thing.
It should make the Japanese army feel that there is still room for relaxation. Although the Sixty-third Regiment was unable to break through the blockade, the number of enemies it faced was not large. The Eleventh Division could act step by step without having to rush to the war zone at night and starry. As I told you before the attack, the attack should be relaxed and relaxed. It should not only attract the attention of the Japanese army in the entire theater, but also not alert the enemy.
Tao Jingfei's words made Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun fall into deep thought. After pondering for a long time, Guo Bingxun took the lead and said: "Old Tao, you also know the speed of the Japanese army's movements. If within this time, the main force of the Japanese 11th Division, plus the situation in front of you, The troops of the 63rd Regiment suddenly appeared, can you hold on for more than three days with your current strength?"
"Do you know that your current situation is different from the battles of the past few days? At that time, your troops were all troops that had completed full training, and the backbone of the battle were all veterans who had experienced the flames of war. The time for each unit to adjust was also short. Long enough, these two regiments are new troops that have just been formed less than a month ago."
"Even if you have completed full training, but have very little experience in facing enemies, even if you combine these two regiments with the existing regiment you have on hand, it will still take time to get used to it. In this case , can you withstand a group charge of the main force of a Japanese division, plus some Japanese troops from the 63rd Regiment?"
At this point, Guo Bingxun stopped Tao Jingfei from standing up and came back and said: "There is no joke in the army. You have to think carefully before answering. After all, before the new Japanese troops arrive, it will still be useful to you to weaken part of their strength." Advantageous."
"If the main force of the 11th Division has arrived before you weaken the 63rd Regiment to a certain extent, you can imagine the pressure you will bear. Now that you have the opportunity to reduce some pressure in advance, it is still beneficial. of."
