Only he knows the answer. This executioner who believes that violence against civilians of the occupying country outside the battlefield is a necessary means to boost morale. He also believes that the large-scale casualties of one's own troops will arouse the hostility of the troops. If guided properly, it can Let soldiers turn into killing machines and move forward indomitably,
A little-known thing is that before the war, he once said to several of his confidants: "As long as we can capture Fuding, it's worth fighting not a single division."
Fuding is the southeastern gateway of Fujian. Once Fuding is lost, there will be no danger to defend the southeastern coast of Fujian. If the Japanese army takes this as a breakthrough, they will be able to march straight in, and even go all the way to kill Guangzhou.
Waves of soldiers surrounded one chariot after another and rolled westward. Hisao Tani came down from the haystack and said to a few confidants around him: "This temptation is big enough, enough to make the Chinese people use all the hidden soldiers and equipment." Take it out."
Several confidants are only Weiwei, but no one dares to respond.
More than 14,000 officers and soldiers were actually used as bait. Who could do such a thing, I'm afraid they wouldn't even dare to think about it.
On the front line of Guanmei Town, a bomber group of the 11th Aviation Regiment hovered over the battlefield for more than ten minutes. After finally identifying the enemy and our camps, they immediately began to dive and drop bombs.
All heavy bombs, each one exploded, shaking the front line of Guanmei Town. Even the "Mandrill" heavy tank could not withstand such an explosion, let alone being thrown directly. If hit, as long as the tank is within three meters of the explosion, even if the tank is not damaged, the cadets inside will not be able to withstand the violent vibrations. A dozen cadets were shocked to death in this way.
Twelve enemy planes swooped over the battlefield. Two of them crashed into the low mountain peaks on both sides of the battlefield before they could drop their bombs. One exploded and rolled down and fell into the Japanese attack group. The bomb it was carrying was killed. The bomb exploded, killing all the more than a hundred Japanese soldiers near the falling point. Another one dived too far, and then the grenadier failed to control the inertia of his body and dropped bombs over the Japanese array, killing and wounding more than 300 Japanese soldiers. people,
The explosion was so earth-shattering that hiding in air-raid shelters and gun-proof caves was a risk of being stunned. Seeing this, Fan Neng and Wang Hai simply ordered the entire army to attack. The cadets from the two regiments gathered in the first trench through the traffic trenches, regardless of The whistling artillery shells and screaming falling bombs were just firing desperately at the Japanese. At the same time, the searchlights on the fortresses on both sides were turned on, and the four rapid-fire machine guns were bombarding the Japanese army under the guidance of the two searchlights. With the help of this wave of Japanese planes, they once reached a distance of less than 50 meters from the first trench. However, as the nine fighter planes completed dropping bombs, after another one fell, they climbed high and flew away from the battlefield, and their attack momentum He was restrained, and then retreated again and again until he was pushed back to a relatively safe area 300 meters away.
After the air raid, 39 of the 85 tanks of the 407th Regiment were destroyed, and another four tanks lost their combat capabilities due to the sacrifice of their crews. Among the 39 destroyed tanks, a dozen were taken advantage of the situation. The Japanese Type 99 tanks were recently destroyed. The Japanese base camp in Tokyo has been preparing for this war for a long time. Except for the 11th Army, which has been fighting the Changsha Battle, the tanks of the 5th Army and the South China Front have all replaced them with hollow tanks imported from Germany. This type of armor-piercing bullet relies on the metal jet produced by hollow charge technology to break armor. It has low requirements on muzzle velocity and firing range, so it is suitable for use by the Japanese army.
The loss of the Fan Neng Regiment was higher than that of the 407th Regiment. The regiment lost more than a hundred people during the artillery battle. Now it was within the bombing range of Japanese planes. More than 300 people were directly killed. Later and The Japanese army launched a fierce battle and lost more than two hundred people. The establishment was already broken.
As soon as the fighting came to a halt, Fu Xiangfu ordered the 401st Regiment to withdraw. However, just as Fan Neng conveyed this order, the Japanese army began to attack again.
In the battle that lasted less than ten minutes, the Japanese army lost one and a half tank brigade, and the armored brigade also lost several armored vehicles. As for the infantry, the loss was more than 2,000 people. This level of attrition is unbelievable for the 6th Division. Although they are not afraid of death, they can't help but be afraid of it. Colonel Tsuboshima Fumio, commander of the 13th Infantry Regiment, and Colonel Taro Endo, commander of the 41st Tank Regiment, are discussing how to adjust the attack sequence to maintain the density of firepower output. Fortunately, a breakthrough was achieved in the second round of attack. Hisao Tani arrived in an armored vehicle. Under the snowy headlights, he jumped out of the car and walked to Tsuboda. He raised his hand and slapped Tsuboda, causing the latter to fall down. Falling into the arms of several lieutenants, Hisao Tani glared at him coldly, turned around and shouted to the car: "Major General Imamura Katsuji, I leave this place to you. Attack it in one go. Do you understand?"
Imamura Katsuji stood at attention, bowed, and responded loudly: "Hai."
Hisao Tani: "His Majesty the Emperor's warriors, the brave soldiers of the Imperial Army, I will watch you from behind, move forward indomitably, and work hard. This is what I ask of you, understand."
"Hai."
Only three minutes later, the Japanese army launched another attack. Seeing this, Fan Neng immediately canceled the retreat order, and then called Fu Xiangfu: "Brigade, the Japs have started attacking again, we'd better stay."
Fu Xiangfu, who was standing on a hill, had already seen it. Although he wanted to help the 401st regiment retain some seeds, he could only cruelly let them stay on the position.
The Second Guard Division is stationed at the forward position by Dai Rao's Fourth Guard Brigade. The Fujian Guard Force was established by Jiang Guangnai. Although it is not yet officially part of the student army, its combat effectiveness is as good as that of the regular student army, and , because they are all composed of local Fujian people, and this battle is to defend Fujian, so the military morale of this division is still better than that of the 10th Xue Division.
Dai Rao had a total of three regiments, one battalion and one company under his command. Among them, he personally led a regiment and a machine gun company to guard the hilly area on the left. He saw the Japanese army launching another attack, and his own forward positions were already insufficient in strength. Without hesitation, he sent the machine gun company down to provide support. He called Zhang Zhengxi, the commander of the machine gun company, to give him instructions: Hide on the mountain in front and judge the situation yourself to join the battlefield...
The machine gun company is called a company. It actually only has about 60 people, but it has more than 30 ZB-26 light machine guns. Dai Rao used to serve in the 29th Route Army, and he has a passion for the ZB-26 light machine guns produced in the Czech Republic. Duzhong, and under his training, the Fujian boys in the machine gun company are not only superb in marksmanship, but also very skilled in other combat skills. The soldiers have already faintly revealed the charm of special forces like Langya.
After the machine gun company was trained, this was the first time they were put into the battlefield. Dai Rao not only hoped that they could shine, but also worried that their losses would be too heavy to bear, so he took care of them again and again.
Zhang Zhengxi nodded repeatedly, and finally said to Dai Rao: "Sir, please don't worry, we will give our Fujian people a good face."
