The Japanese army is on combat duty at the moment, with a total of 3,000 troops. The main force is Ichiryu Sakamoto's Sakamoto Brigade, and then there are two brigades of the Indonesian National Liberation Army. And because in the past three months, within the 50 kilometers in front of the Pyai Defense Line,
In fact, there were only a few British lookout posts, so neither the Indonesians nor the Japs took combat duty seriously at all. At this time, when they were very sleepy, except for a few
A few people woke up due to urination, while the others were all fast asleep. And the places where they slept were the trenches and bunkers where they were on duty. The reason why this happened was related to the climate in the Southern Peninsula. At this time, the Southern Peninsula
It's still summer, so you don't have to worry about catching cold when sleeping in the open air at night. As for mosquito bites, Indonesian indigenous people have their own magic method to deal with them. They apply some plant juices that have the effect of repelling mosquitoes on their bodies, and then cover their heads and faces with steel helmets to breathe.
Huda slept until dawn.
The Japanese soldiers of the 13th independent mixed brigade of the Marine Corps and the Indonesian monkeys of the 26th division of the Indonesian National Liberation Army have been here for hundreds of nights. How could they have thought that they would be unlucky today?
When the rumble of the cannon sounded, Pu Junsan, who was peeing heartily with his hands on his hands, first said "Hey", then his eyes widened and he exclaimed: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Then he looked back.
Unable to say anything, he fell to the ground. Pu's reaction was quick enough and his response was correct. However, facing the concentrated fire of hundreds of artillery pieces, everything he did was destined to be in vain. One bullet at a time
A 150-millimeter-caliber artillery shell exploded three meters away to his left. The blast hit him and rolled him in. Then, his body was torn apart by shrapnel, like a piece of rag, with his head and feet
He crashed into a bunker and was no longer human. Hundreds of fireballs hit the Japanese army's position, instantly creating a sea of fire. And this was just the beginning. Next, almost every five seconds, one round, in the expedition
Under the command of Wen Mingjian, Chief of Staff of the Third Army, the artillery assembled by the Third Army began to pour artillery shells on the Japanese positions with overwhelming force.
Firing up artillery shells at the beginning of the battle was once a common tactic used by the Japanese army when fighting with troops. Often, after a round of saturation bombardment, the Japanese could sing a song of victory and enter the defending position. But now, this tactic has become
The most common method used by the Xuebing Army to deal with the Japanese army. In terms of the density of artillery fire and the squandering of artillery shells, the Xuebing Army has always been famous for being a spendthrift. However, a non-professional like Wen Mingjian does not know that oil and rice are expensive, or he knows that oil and rice are expensive, but
But he did it deliberately, and it was even more exciting to catch the opportunity.
When Wen Mingjian was first transferred to the Expeditionary Force, he was quite emotional. Without it, in the eyes of die-hard central officers like Wen Mingjian, no matter how he was corrected by the senior officials of the military headquarters (no matter Ouyang Yun and the coalition government),
, whether it is the current coalition government or the headquarters, it is actually a beautiful coat put on by the Xuebing Army to prepare for the Central Committee.) Before the reorganization, he was a commander of the Central Army. According to the practice of the Republic of China, such a change of flag occurred
, as a powerful military officer, he is the target of being attracted. Even if he is not promoted to one level, he will not be demoted. And with Sun Liren's promotion to three levels in front of him, how does he think of himself as a staff officer?
Why is the position of chief not pleasing to the eye? Chief of Staff Wen was not happy, so he naturally wanted to find a place to vent his anger. The Beiyai garrison bore the brunt and became the target of his anger.
"Hit! Hit me hard!" "Don't be stingy with the shells. You have to know that if we fire one more shell, our brothers will have one more chance to survive..." Wen Mingjian shouted like this, just because the shelling took so long
Too short.
After Wen Mingjian was transferred to the Third Expeditionary Army, he was designated by Sun Liren as the commander-in-chief of the artillery. He had already said what kind of officers would produce what kind of soldiers. Naturally, the artillerymen under his command would not care about the loss of artillery shells.
Well, after about five minutes of familiarization, the artillerymen had finished warming up, and the density of shelling immediately increased. As a result, in a quarter of an hour of shelling, the Japanese front-line positions were almost plowed by artillery fire five or six times. Expedition Chapter 2
The artillery equipped by the three armies are all with a caliber of 120-150 mm. In front of such large-caliber artillery shells, any bunker or bunker is just a cloud. So, when Wen Mingjian finally ordered the artillery fire to extend in depth, the Japanese army was fighting on the front line
The more than 3,000 Japs and two Indonesian Japs on duty were already dead and injured, while those who survived had lost their fighting spirit and only wanted to escape from this sea of hell as soon as possible.
When Aida Masao walked to a hill in front of the house and raised his eyes to look at the front line positions, what caught his eyes was a sea of fire and meteorite rain like artillery shells hitting the second and third line positions of his side. If you just heard
At the time of the sound of artillery fire, he could not yet determine who the enemy was, but now, from the density of artillery fire and the caliber of the artillery, he could already conclude that it must be the cadet army (in the country, there are still many troops under the command of the army).
In the eyes of the Japanese, these troops that use the standard weapons and equipment of the Xuebing Army are all called Xuebing Army. As long as the opponent is the Xuebing Army, then they seem to be defeated.
This is understandable. After all, looking at the whole of Japan, there are no famous generals who have suffered defeat at the hands of the Xuebing Army, and there are almost no generals. Since even these famous generals and generals cannot defeat the Xuebing Army, then Aida and his like have suffered defeat.
It doesn't seem to be a big deal if you lose the battle - a very strange concept, but this is what the Japanese really think).
The concentration of the Japanese army was very fast. Just when the artillery fire of the Third Expeditionary Army began to extend, the non-combat duty troops of the Aida Brigade and about one regiment of the Indonesian National Liberation Army had already assembled and were preparing to enter under the leadership of the chief officer.
The position and the response of the troops made Aida Masao very satisfied. However, considering that entering the position at this time would be a heavy bombardment by the Chinese, he ordered to postpone entering the position until the artillery fire stopped.
Aida Masao was an old man in the army, and he thought that even if the cadet army wanted to launch a ground attack, it would have to wait until the artillery fire stopped. But soon, he paid a bloody price for this judgment.
With the roar of cannons, he was trying to figure out whether the Xue Bingjun's attack was a feint or a planned counterattack. If it was the former, then this was the credit that came to his door. He could totally make up some rhetoric to express his credit.
And if it was the latter, he had to report to Mr. Koizumi quickly to prepare Singapore. He was hesitant to make a decision when tanks with camouflage paint appeared under the firelight of the front line. He could no longer care about this.
Thinking carefully, he waved his fist fiercely and said: "Ba Ge! Get into position quickly!"
