Chapter 11 The third most powerful army in the world
When Ouyang Yun arrived at the Yushan front line, it was already past six o'clock in the evening. He immediately held a combat meeting at the frontline headquarters of the Fourth Xuexi Division, and then called Jiang Guangnai to inform him that he would launch the code-named "Dawn Break" on time at three o'clock tomorrow morning. "Counterattack actions,
On the Yushan front line, the Korean corps belonging to the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Army" of Okamura Ningji stationed a total of two divisions and two independent brigades here. They were five together with a division stationed in Pingnan County and Wenzhou. The Korean puppet troops of the independent brigades are collectively called the "Co-Prosperity South China Army Corps". Among them, those stationed on the front line of Jiangshan City are Lee Ming-kai's Co-Prosperity 4th Division and Roh Cheng-tai's Co-Prosperity 9th Independent Brigade.
Li Mingkai and others did not know that a disaster was waiting for them, so when Wang Xize invited them to the banquet that night, the stickmen did not doubt that he was there, and they were all drunk as usual. So there was the next scene,
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, two flares, one red and one green, exploded in the sky above the Bangzi Army's bunkers in the west of Jiangshan City. The next moment, earth-shattering artillery fire sounded, and the artillerymen of the Second Army began to show off their power.
As early as after the sticks had built the bunkers and bunkers, Shi Zhengguo, commander of the heavy artillery brigade, took the staff of the brigade headquarters to calculate the relevant shooting elements. Once the shooting started, it could be said that they were all stunned with their eyes closed. It can control the shelling error within a range of fifty meters, so in the eyes of the rotation guard, the flaming shells seem to have eyes, and the impact points are almost all bunkers and bunkers. At the beginning, almost Each fire ball explodes and can engulf a bunker or bunker,
The explosion of a 150 mm caliber heavy artillery shell was extremely powerful. There was a flash of fire and a loud noise, and a bunker or bunker was completely blown away. The sticks who witnessed this scene were all frightened. He yelled "enemy attack" and ran away, completely forgetting his responsibilities.
All officers above the level of brigade commander participated in last night's banquet. At this time, ten of them were still lying on the bed in the underground fortification like mud. Two of them had women in their arms, so when When the team leader on duty started calling everywhere to inform the news, he couldn't find anyone at all.
And by the time Li Mingkai was awakened by the overwhelming sound of the explosion, rushed down from the bed with bare feet, opened the locked door and shouted to the adjutant to ask what happened, it was already too late.
Li Mingkai and others never expected that the warm and hospitable Wang Xize sent them away, and then began to summon the remaining Chinese soldiers and civilians in the city to get ready to flee. Then, the sound of cannons rang over there, just as the stick was When they were panicking, he took a dozen of his men to cover more than 3,000 people and went to the east gate. He occupied the east gate without much effort and completed the evacuation of the people.
"Bang, bang." A green signal flare rose in the east. Zhang Gongming, who had been watching the night sky closely, saw it and immediately telegraphed to the government: "Mayor Wang and the others have withdrawn, so feel free to shoot boldly. "
"Yes." Shi Zhengguo put down the phone and shouted murderously to the messenger on the side: "Tell all the ministries to let go of the whole thing."
"yes."
Learning from the artillery organization of the Second Army, in addition to the heavy artillery brigade directly under the army, each infantry division has an artillery regiment directly under the army, equipped with twelve 120mm self-propelled howitzers. The 120mm howitzer is not enough It caused fatal damage to the reinforced concrete structure bunkers and bunkers, but with the heavy artillery brigade of the governing country helping them to break the fort in front, and they were responsible for cleaning up the remaining sticks, it was not a problem.
Okamura Neiji established the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Army in order to use the power of traitors and traitors to make up for the lack of Japanese troops in China. The Japanese completely looked away this time, which was different from the past when they did not regard the puppet soldiers as human beings. , this time they gave considerable respect to the puppet army. The thing that made those boneless guys burst into tears the most was that they took back the power to supervise the army. Without the Japanese constraints, for example, in Jiangshan City, it was Li Mingkai who had the final say. ,For this reason, Li Mingkai gradually developed the habit of being arrogant and domineering, and actually used himself as a dish.
Perhaps in Li Mingkai's view, Jiangshan City's current defenses were already impregnable, so in order to sleep well, he simply locked the door from the inside. As a result, his adjutant and his subordinates wanted to notify him when the shelling had just begun. He couldn't either, and when he was awakened, the only way waiting for him was destruction.
He shouted the adjutant's name in a stern voice, and the shrill sound of shells piercing the air was heard on the other side. Then, he felt something was wrong and broke out in a cold sweat. The next moment, he found that he was suddenly flying. A 120mm shell. The caliber shell exploded about two meters away from him, and the air wave generated by the explosion directly tore him in half. "I don't want to die." In mid-air, Li Mingkai only had time to think of this thought in his mind, Then his world fell silent and turned into a dark, lifeless place.
The artillery bombardment that lasted for an hour and a half destroyed almost all the bunkers and bunkers of the Bangzi Army, but in the eyes of Ouyang Yun and Ye Zhao, this was not enough. When a ray of dawn broke through the clouds and mist in the east and illuminated the eastern sky, Ye Zhao said Under the command, amidst the "tick-tick" charge horn, a regiment-organized fire-breathing tank rushed toward the battlefield surrounded by soldiers from the Fourth Division. The last move of the oil-burning tactic made its grand debut.
As for the Bangzi Army, it was the Fourth Division that took turns taking charge of the frontline positions in Jiangshan City during this period. Therefore, Lu Chengtai's Independent Ninth Brigade, which was guarding the city, suffered a lot of losses in the artillery fire just now, but compared to the Fourth Division. But there is too much less. This is both the luck and misfortune of the stickmen of the Independent Ninth Brigade.
The Bangzi also have artillery. The Fourth Division is a mountain artillery brigade, and the Independent Ninth Brigade is under the jurisdiction of a mountain artillery regiment. It was relying on the mountain artillery of these three regiments and the organic tank troops of regiments and battalions that the Koreans once fought. It was so impressive that it put a lot of pressure on Ye Zhao's troops. For this reason, Lu Chengtai was quite confident in his artillery and tank troops. He believed that they were elite troops second only to the German army and the imperial army. In terms of comprehensive combat strength, they were sufficient. Ranked among the top three in the world,
Lu Chengtai was less drunk than Li Mingkai, so he was woken up by his subordinates when there was an explosion outside the city. He ran out of the underground fortifications and saw that the front line positions were covered by artillery fire. Although he was a student soldier He was shocked by the strength of the artillery group displayed by the army's artillery, but he did not think that his troops were powerless to fight back. While he ordered his troops to prepare for battle, he rang the phone to the artillery regiment headquarters and ordered them to fight back: Let China People have tasted the power of the artillery of the world's third strongest army,
