For the villagers of Guantang Village, New Year's Eve in 1939 was an unforgettable day. The old Jiangxi cousins who flew to Laoshangbajiao were first frightened to death by the sound of gunfire close at hand, and then woke up huddled together in a panic and unsafe house.
Later, they discovered that a group of soldiers who called themselves the Xuebing Army guerrillas were selling military coats and canned food from house to house. The old cousins were flattered, and when they learned that the Xuebing Army had just won a great victory, thousands of soldiers were annihilated.
After the Japanese were killed, they were overjoyed, and many families set off firecrackers in front of their homes to celebrate.
Whether it was military coats or cans, they were naturally captured from the self-consolidated Fourth Brigade. The battle that took place around the Zhangyang Iron Cable Bridge ruined the fields of the villagers in Guantang Village. In order to detonate the explosives buried in the east and west of the village,
The mines at the north end of the village naturally destroyed some houses and haystacks. The corpses of the Japanese also had to be buried. The military coats and cans were used to compensate the old cousins for their losses and as wages for burying the corpses of the Japanese.
It was indeed a great victory. In the ambush at Tietou Peak, more than 11,000 people of the Fourth Brigade were mixed. More than 3,000 people were drowned, and more than 3,000 people were poisoned by mustard gas. In the end, only 2,000 people were killed.
The rest of the people fled like bereaved dogs; more than 700 people of a puppet army regiment, including the company commander, were shot dead, and about 300 people were captured alive.
On the Third Guerrilla Division's side, about 4,500 people were killed, and its Eighth Brigade lost about 2,600 people.
After spending five hours cleaning the battlefield, Jiang Tiezhang left the Eighth Brigade responsible for collecting and cremating the fallen comrades, and then headed straight for Wannian County with the large amount of loot captured.
New Year's Eve in 2039 was a harvest night for the Xuebing Army.
The ambush at Tietou Peak was an unexpected surprise. The victory at Fuding was a great gift from Hisao Tani. The victory at Yushan was due to the "Thunderbolt".
In the Yushan defense battle, Xue Er's army resisted very hard at first. Miura Saburo completely tore the soldier's face away - once the Japanese infantry were unable to attack, they would use poison gas bombs, and the drug-trafficking masks had limited protective effect against mustard gas. Xue Fifteen
The two infantry regiments of the brigade, plus the independent regiment directly under the brigade and the guard battalion were continuously filled in. The battle lasted until 1:30 in the morning, and only about 300 of the 3,500 trainees were left. Two of the three regiment commanders were killed in the battle.
The battle has now entered a stalemate. On the side of the 2nd Xue Army, the Bian Strategy Department of the 18th Xue Brigade replaced Du Linzi's 15th Xue Brigade. The artillery regiment of the 15th Xue Brigade had suffered heavy losses in the Japanese bombings before, and now it can be said that the entire brigade is completely exhausted.
, their opponent the 65th Infantry Regiment also failed to take advantage. One group was almost wiped out, and the other three groups lost their combat effectiveness. Of course, from the perspective of Saburo Miura and Shunroku Hata, they thought they had already gained.
, because the Japanese army not only advanced the front several hundred meters, but most importantly, occupied the fourth and fifth trenches.
Both sides were mobilizing troops and generals to rearrange their front lines, and news came from the Tietou Peak battlefield.
In the headquarters of the Hufeng Frontline Cadet Army, the communications staff officer stood up and shouted to Ye Zhao, Du Linzi, Bian Mulu and others in surprise: "Good news, good news, the 3rd Guerrilla Division successfully ambushed the 4th Huncheng Brigade at Tietou Peak.
Regiment, annihilate more than ten thousand enemies!"
Ye Zhao and others had always looked solemn before, and they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news. There was no need to worry about the northwest, so there was no need to hide the Special Artillery Brigade in the snow as the last weapon. On the Shangying battlefield, the Japanese army had the upper hand.
The military equipment also had an absolute numerical advantage, which made Ye Zhao even dare not expose the artillery in his hands prematurely for fear of being plotted by the Japanese army. Now, it was time to compete with the Japs.
The artillery of the Second Xue Army originally had seven regiments.
Organization: learn from the Sixth Division as a chariot division, learn from the Sixteenth Brigade and the Seventeenth Brigade as a chariot brigade, two vehicles and one step, learn from the Eighteenth Brigade as an infantry brigade, the organization situation is the same as above (two steps and one artillery) and another brigade
(directly under the army), after these days of fighting, two regiments were blown up by the Japanese aviation. Currently, the artillery of each division is deployed on the front lines of Leping and Dexing. On the Yushan side, there is only one heavy artillery brigade directly under the army.
Enraged by the Japanese gas bomb tactics, Ye Zhao slapped the table in front of him hard, and Gu Zuo said: "It's time for the Second Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade to attack. The Fourth Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment is the first to attack, and the Fifth and Sixth Regiments are on standby.
——Even if we lose the Second Heavy Artillery Brigade, all the Japanese artillery must be destroyed!"
Du Linzi's 15th Brigade suffered heavy losses from the Japs' poison gas bombs. Half of the soldiers who died in the battle were injured by poison gas bombs. He said: "Anyway, we still have a special artillery brigade. Even if all the artillery is destroyed, we are not afraid."
.I just don’t know if the Japanese will launch an attack overnight?”
The air supremacy of the Shangying battlefield is completely controlled by the Japanese army. This is where Xue Erjun is currently most passive. Otherwise, with the sharpness of Xue Er Army's military uniforms, there would be no room for the Japanese artillery to wreak havoc everywhere.
Ye Zhao: "These are not within the scope of our consideration. The water will come to cover the ground, and the soldiers will come to block it. It doesn't matter how the Japanese attack them! Xiao Du, over there at the 1st Special Artillery Brigade, go and pick it up. You must do a good job of concealment! Now
The Hufeng area is too chaotic!”
After the Xuebing Army captured Shangrao and Yingtan, they spent a lot of effort to build two mountain roads connecting northeastern Fujian and southeastern Jiangxi. One of them goes from Pucheng County through Guangfeng County to Shangrao City; the other starts from Wuyi Mountain and passes through Qianshan
The county then goes from Guixi City to Yingtan City. The construction of these two mountain roads has greatly facilitated the dispatch of the troops of the cadet army. When Ye Zhao asked Du Linzi to pick up the 1st Special Warfare Brigade, the 1st Special Warfare Brigade was no longer close to Guangfeng.
Thirty kilometers away.
In the Japanese Army Command Headquarters in Chengzhen, Yushan County, Fujie Keisuke and Miura Saburo received a call from Hata Shunroku and were told that the fourth mixed brigade was almost completely destroyed at Tietou Peak. The two looked at each other in shock, almost unable to believe what they heard.
Everything that comes.
When Shunroku Hata suddenly received the battle report, his reaction was almost the same as theirs. The 5th Army's New Year strategy, although almost one-half of the troops were assembled in the direction of Yushan, because the Hufeng front line was the focus of the Xuebing Army
line of defense, so he is actually not optimistic about the open line of Yushan. He can't understand how the fourth mixed brigade encountered an ambush, and which army of the student army set up the ambush. Of course, this is not important now. The New Year's strategy is definitely
We have to continue, otherwise His Majesty the Emperor and the Tokyo base camp will be unable to explain. Since the hidden line of the sneak attack on Yingtan cannot be carried out, the only way is to go all out to operate the open line of Yushan.
Shunroku Hata was really angry. He called Arikura Kazuno worthless on the phone and threatened to send him to a military court. He cursed Arikura Kazuno severely and then changed his mind.
Said: "The sneak attack on Yingtan has failed, now it's up to you. There are no battle reports from Fuding yet, but I guess the South China Front Army can't get it. Jiang Guangnai is a famous Chinese general, and he has been operating in Fuding for two years.
If there are more, Fuding will definitely be impregnable. Iwane Matsui is timid and will definitely not dare to give up a fight, but Hisao Tani will definitely advance rashly. The coach at the rear and the general at the front have different opinions. Hehe, there will be more defeats in Fuding than victory. Fujie-kun, Miura-kun,
Commander Guzhuang and I are eagerly awaiting your return of good news in Quzhou, and I hope you will not disappoint us!"
