Pay and reward are always equal. When the Japanese can restrain their instincts and try to treat the Korean stickmen as human beings, the Korean stickmen can repay them with bloody battles. However, the Japanese officers who can reach this spiritual height are really Too few, not even high-ranking officials like Kanda Masane. In their minds, even soldiers of their own nation can be sacrificed at any time, let alone soldiers from the colonies. This creates a vicious cycle, and the Japanese care less about the Koreans. , the Koreans' combat effectiveness became even worse. Then, when the Japanese hoped that the Koreans would use their utmost strength, they discovered that this subordinate army was rotten from the outside to the core, and had become a burden that failed to accomplish anything.
The defeat of the stick soldiers had a huge impact on the morale of the Iwata Battalion. If Totoshi Toyoda hadn't decisively ordered the members of the Toyoda Standing Team to temporarily play the role of military police, the Iwata Battalion might have also been defeated.
The northwest wind was blowing, and the smoke quickly enveloped the Xuebingjun position. A puff of smoke filled the battlefield, directly affecting the sight of the officers and soldiers on both sides of the battle. He Zhengjiang's retreat order was considered timely, but it was still worse than However, due to the speed of the smoke, when the entire position was shrouded in smoke, Feng Chunlan could tell that the smoke did not contain poisonous gas. He decisively ordered to stop retreating, put on a gas mask and fought with the Japanese army.
The Japanese army moved in the direction of the wind and was less affected by the smoke. Moreover, the Japanese soldiers of the Toyota Advance Team and the Zero Tank Destroyer personally commanded by Sanada Keiji were well prepared. The simple respirators they wore were far less expensive. The gas masks were heavy, which allowed them to maintain considerable flexibility. What Feng Chunlan thought was that since they couldn't keep up with the speed of smoke diffusion, instead of selling their backs to the Japanese, it would be better to block them head-on. In this case, at least the troops would not create confusion,
When the smoke just created the smoke screen, the heavy firepower of both sides stopped. The smoke blocked the line of sight, and the sound of gunfire became the easiest target for the shooter. On this point, both Iwata Shusho and Feng Chunlan had a clear understanding of this. know,
He Zhengjiang recognized Feng Chunlan's revision of his order. He realized that the Japanese's use of smoke tactics should be aimed at the 19th Regiment, and reminded Xie Yuchun to strengthen control of the troops and not to cause his own people to fight against their own people. During the Dragon Incident, Xie Yuchun had a strong ability to make decisions on the fly. Thick smoke erupted from the Japanese army's position. He was first worried that it was a poison gas attack by the Japanese army, and immediately ordered everyone to put on gas masks. Then he realized that the command could appear if his vision was unclear. There was confusion on the battlefield, so he ordered the troops to change their formation, changing the previous square formation to a long snake formation, and ordered Mou Xiangyun to lead the team back to the main force. The whole regiment moved northwest. After receiving a call from He Zhengjiang, he asked He Zhengjiang asked for instructions, hoping to change defense into offense, rush directly into the depth of the Japanese army's position, and break through the boundary where the Japanese army used smoke.
Xie Yuchun's suggestion was undoubtedly the most effective way to crack the Japanese army's smoke tactics. However, considering that the Japanese army was accustomed to using special attacks, He Zhengsheng did not agree immediately. He asked Li Qianyong: "Have the Japanese army's follow-up troops come up?"
"I am in contact with Ma Zhenghao." Li Qianyong replied,
Ma Zhenghao is the battlefield commander of the Chongzuo Aviation Corps today. He is responsible for commanding a squadron of baijis participating in battlefield reconnaissance and support missions.
Miyamoto painstakingly came up with the smoke tactic. The main purpose was naturally to cover the actions of the Toyota Advance Team, and at the same time, he also hoped to deceive the eyes of the cadets in the air. Overall, Miyamoto's strategy was successful. Yes, of course, it is impossible for them to completely deceive the eyes of the aviation cadets of the Chongzuo Aviation Corps.
Soon, Ma Zhenghao gave the answer: "The Japanese army has entered the battle with fresh troops. The number of infantry is unknown. There are about forty tanks, which are new types of tanks. In addition, there are about fifty Japanese tanks on the edge of the position. And about two groups of soldiers are on standby." At the same time, he asked for instructions whether to conduct an air strike.
Li Qianyong turned to He Zhengjiang for instructions. He Zhengjiang looked at the sand table and said: "Meilin Bridge does not need their support. Please focus on monitoring the West Village detachment. If necessary, we can make their march more difficult." Then he looked around. The left and right said: "It seems that Miyamoto is really preparing to launch a large-scale counterattack, so what are you waiting for? Let's deal with them first."
The smoke continuously set off by the Japanese army not only provided cover for the Toyota Standing Team, but also facilitated the deployment of troops by the cadet army. The 23rd Regiment of the 8th Guangxi Police Brigade entered the battlefield first, and then the 20th Regiment of the 7th Guangxi Police Brigade entered the battlefield. Regiment, at the same time, He Zhengjiang instructed Feng Chunlan to provide a company of escort infantry for Xie Yuchun's regiment, and approved Xie Yuchun's frontal assault operation, "Beware of the Japanese's suicide bombs. I guess this smoke was set off for you." On the phone, he said to Xie Yuchun,
Xie Yuchun was awe-inspiring,
Since the advent of the Mandrill tank, although the cadet army tank units equipped with this tank have not yet been defeated against the Japanese tank units, they have also suffered heavy losses from the Japanese special attacks. The Japanese army used smoke bombs to deliberately disrupt the battlefield. The situation obviously hopes to provide opportunities for the Japanese to carry out special attacks.
The air superiority south of Changsha, Hunan was completely controlled by the Chongzuo Aviation Corps. This caused Miyamoto to rely on the frontline troops to understand the battlefield situation. The sequelae of smoke tactics came. He Zhengjiang successively sent reinforcements to two regiments to the front line, and Iwata Jushouono, Keiji Sanada and Totoshi Toyoda haven't discovered it yet.
The center of the battlefield, where the Iwata Battalion and the 22nd Regiment met, had the thickest smoke, which naturally increased the difficulty of fighting for both the offensive and defensive sides. Fortunately, the 22nd Regiment had trenches as guides and could easily master the battle. The shooting direction, so the battle line can still maintain unity and integrity, but the Iwata Battalion is in tragedy. The previous defeat of the Bangko Army has scattered their formation, and now they are deep in the thick smoke. Although commanders at all levels use shouting instructions They fought, but many of these Japs officers could not grasp the direction themselves, so when the entire battlefield was completely shrouded in gunfire, fratricide still occurred, and even a small team of Japs was killed by a man named Masuda. Under the command of Ichiro's sergeant, they fought all the way from the south to the east. It was not until they passed through the sea of fog that they realized that their attack direction was wrong.
It didn't matter if they attacked in the wrong direction, but there were no fewer than twenty Japanese, sticks, and Toyota members who died in their hands along the way. After Ichiro Masuda figured this out, he was so shocked that he started sweating coldly, and then slowly He slowly knelt down on the ground, put the barrel of the gun into his mouth and pulled the trigger directly.
