It is said that after suffering a loss, Komatsu Jiro will remain highly vigilant and will not make the same mistake again. However, there was no reflection in the mines used by Xiang Xiaotian when he first ambushed the Xiaoshan detachment. Tank mines are a type of mine, so in the face of what seemed like an easy victory, Komatsu got carried away and the result was tragic.
As a type of plastic bomb, the Hanwei-type radio-detonated explosive bomb is small in size, but extremely powerful. According to experimental data provided by Xuebing R&D, a Hanwei-type radio-detonated explosive bomb that implements directional blasting has an armor-piercing thickness of It is about 30 millimeters, and if two or even three bombs are bundled together, the armor-piercing thickness can reach 50 millimeters. The size of a Hanwei radio-detonated bomb is about the same as a box of cigarettes. The distance of the signal is about five thousand meters, which ensures the "suddenness" of this type of bomb being used in actual combat. The power of this type of bomb itself is huge enough, plus Xiang Xiaotian and other paratroopers who were born in Langya are quite capable. With strong explosive knowledge, they modified it, such as equipping it with a grenade or something, which further enhanced its power. Not to mention the Japanese Type 95 armored vehicles and the New Type 99 tanks, they could also deal with their latest models. The Zero heavy tank can also produce considerable lethality.
In addition to the Hanwei type radio-detonated bomb, it is supplemented by the latest anti-material sniper rifle, the Cloud Type 1943. Based on the Type 1941, this type of rifle has developed a new gunpowder formula with the Xuebing R&D Institute. With the armor-piercing technology, the power has been increased, and the two armor-piercing weapons, which are not heavy weapons, have joined forces, and it is inevitable that the Komatsu Brigade will suffer a bloody blow.
When he was just attacked by the Hanwei type bomb, Komatsu Jiro was still determined to win a big victory. He ordered in a sharp voice to continue charging, saying that he would crush the current Chinese people into pieces. After he finished shouting, he At the end of his field of vision, a meter-long tongue of flames spurted out from the grass. Then, as gunfire sounded like the sound of cannons, the body of the Type 95 armored vehicle that Komatsu was riding on shuddered violently. Komatsu only had time to peek out. Kong looked away, and his vision was obscured by a fiery red. The bone-piercing pain instantly confused his consciousness, and his world fell into darkness.
The counterattack ambush organized by Xiang Xiaotian in Area 3 was very short, lasting no more than five minutes. However, it brought disaster to the Komatsu Brigade. More than half of the tanks of the Komatsu Brigade were aggravated by their plastic bombs. A joint attack by snipers destroyed the enemy, and Komatsu Jiro himself was killed. Immediately, Komatsu's brigade was in a state of collapse, and the unit's pursuit momentum, which had been like a rainbow shooting through the sun, suddenly fell to the bottom.
When there was a fierce explosion from the earth bun, Ikeda Shinosho changed his previous calmness and ordered the whole army to rush forward. His reaction was not unpleasant, but it was still a step too late. When he led his troops to board the earth bun, When he reached the top, what appeared in front of him was a messy scene. The once arrogant Komatsu Brigade was like a bereaved dog. The surviving officers of the unit were beaten to a bloody pulp around the chest and abdomen. The body of Komatsu Jiro was charred and black, and many people The liver and gallbladder were depressed, and he knelt down on the ground in a very unmanly manner and cried bitterly.
If when Ikeda first gave the order not to advance rashly, his officers had many complaints and felt that he was too timid. Now, they all admired Ikeda for his foresight. The way they looked at Ikeda was full of awe. There are also three more points,
Ikeda raised his head and looked forward. On the pale yellow grassland, the figures of some trainees were swaying. It seemed that they could catch up with them with a single charge. However, after looking down to check the losses of Komatsu Brigade, Ikeda shook his head and quickly gave up. Got this idea,
The tank unit of the Oyama detachment was ambushed by the Chinese army again, and the news that the Komatsu detachment was directly crippled reached the ears of Hyakutake Seikichi. The old Japanese's first reaction was that he could not believe his ears, but after talking to Oyama Nagao on the phone After that, the old Japanese frowned and looked ahead, feeling shaken in his heart. The encounter of Komatsu's brigade showed at least two problems. First, this Chinese paratrooper did not lack "heavy weapons" such as pin-made tanks; Both of them, the Chinese paratroopers are extremely powerful in combat and are good at fighting against the wind. This makes Hyakutake Haruyoshi wonder. Although the strength ratio between the enemy and us is one to five, are they sure to win? Even if they can win, but If the loss of troops is too great, can they still complete the mission of the base camp as scheduled? Perhaps, they should ask the main force of the headquarters to provide tactical guidance. However, in this case, his official career will definitely stagnate, and the time will also be delayed. Quite a few, the consequences...
Hyakutake Harukichi did not dare to think deeply, because this result was really something he did not want to see.
"Telegram to Koyama Nagao and ask him to maintain a steady march and wait to meet up with the headquarters. If the Chinese attack, he can launch a limited counterattack."
The Japanese army changed their tactics and no longer pursued them but turned to other routes. When Xiang Xiaotian received the report, he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. "It seems that the counterattack just now was too strong and scared the Japanese." He said to his subordinates, and then began Thinking hard about countermeasures,
The relevant battle report was sent to Ding Yi. Ding Yi obviously did not expect such a thing to happen. He couldn't help but sigh that the Japanese army was not what it used to be, and at the same time he considered changing the location of the siege.
A staff officer asked whether the First Brigade should be allowed to carry out harassment and lure the Japanese to the bait. Ding Yi directly rejected it, "The First Brigade beat the Japanese in too much pain. Do they still have the guts? I have a feeling that Hyakutake Haruyoshi should have realized this." What, like this, the original plan remains unchanged, but the time is delayed by two hours, and the location is changed to Area 10. Unless the little devils make a detour, Area 9 will be their only way."
The change of time and location does not hinder the implementation of the original plan, because for the second sequence of paratroopers led by Chief of Staff Zhang Quansi, they only need to take off a certain amount of time later. Of course, the difficulty will definitely increase. After all, at night Parachuting is much more difficult than during the day. The later the time goes, the greater the difficulty will be for the second sequence of paratroopers.
While a new type of "air-land war" was being staged on the Xilingol grassland, Hu Li's Northwest Group Army and Zhang Zizhong's 29th Group Army had already entered the Puyinsanda area of Outer Mongolia. Here, they encountered the Outer Mongolia National Defense Forces a division, and there was almost no misunderstanding between the two sides.
Forced by the tense situation at home, the Soviet Russians no longer care about the feelings of their little brother, Outer Mongolia. The people of Outer Mongolia are actually not opposed to returning to China, but their leadership is not willing to give in out of self-interest. Meng's impression of China was still in the late Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China. Therefore, although his Soviet masters were quite polite to the Chinese government, they did not take it seriously. Some die-hards even wanted to resist China for days. To maintain the independence of Outer Mongolia,
