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 the soldiers become killing machines and move forward indomitably. Fly
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 definitely be able to march straight in, and even go all the way to kill Guangzhou.
Tides of soldiers rolled westward one after another, surrounded by chariots. Hisao Tani came down from the haystack and said to a few of his confidants: "This temptation is big enough! It's enough for the Chinese to use all the hidden soldiers and equipment." Have you taken it out?!"
Several confidants were reluctant, but no one dared to respond.
More than 14,000 officers and soldiers were actually used as bait. Who could do such a thing? They dare not even 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 Well, as long as the tank is within three meters of the explosion, even if the tank is not damaged, the trainees inside will not be able to withstand the violent vibrations. A dozen trainees were actually shocked to death in this way.
Twelve enemy planes swooped over the battlefield, and 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. It exploded, killing all the more than a hundred Japanese soldiers near the point of fall. 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 the air-raid shelters and gun-proof caves was a risk of being stunned. Upon 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 desperately shooting at the Japanese. At the same time, the searchlights on both sides of the fortress were turned on, and the four machine guns were bombarding the Japanese army under the guidance of the two searchlights. The Japanese army was 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, climbed high and flew away from the battlefield after another one fell, their offensive momentum increased. They were restrained and then retreated again and again until they were 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 because all their crews were sacrificed. Of the 39 destroyed tanks, more than a dozen were taken advantage of by surprise attacks. The recent Japanese Type 99 tank was 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 switched to hollow charges imported from Germany. Armor-breaking bullets. This kind of armor-breaking bullet relies on the metal jet produced by hollow charge technology to break armor. It has low requirements on the initial release and shooting range, and 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, and the organization was already in ruins.
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, the armored brigade also lost several armored vehicles, and as for the infantry, the loss was more than 2,000 people. This level of consumption is unbelievable for the 6th Division.
They are not afraid of death, but they can't help but be afraid of it. Colonel Tsuboshima Yu, 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.
In the second round of the attack, a breakthrough was achieved. Hisao Tani arrived in an armored vehicle. Under the snowy car lights, he jumped out of the car and walked to Tsuboda. He raised his hand and slapped Tsuboda, causing the latter to fall directly to the ground.
In 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's warriors! Brave soldiers of the Imperial Army! I will watch you from behind! Keep moving forward! Work hard! This is what I ask of you! Understand?!"
"Hai!"
Only three minutes passed before and after, the Japanese army launched another attack. Seeing this, Fan Neng immediately canceled the retreat order, and then called Fu Xiangfu: "Brigade! The little Japanese have started attacking again! Let's stay!"
Fu Xiangfu, who was standing on a hill, had already seen it. Although he wanted to help the 401st Regiment save 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. Moreover,
, because they are all composed of local Fujianese, and this battle is to defend Fujian, so the military morale of this division is even better than that of the 10th Xue Division.
Dai Rao had a total of three regiments, one battalion and one company, and 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 asked the machine gun company to go down to support. He called Zhang Zhengxi, the commander of the machine gun company, to give him instructions: You hide in the mountains ahead 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 gun produced in the Czech Republic.
Duzhong. Under his training, all the young Fujianese men in the machine gun company not only have superb marksmanship, but are also very proficient 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 and unbearable, so he took care of them again and again.
Zhang Zhengxi nodded repeatedly, and finally said to Dai Rao: "Master, please don't worry! We will give our Fujian people a good face!"
