Shunroku Hata's judgment on Matsui Iwane and Hisao Tani was incisive and accurate, but he did not expect that his premature judgment on the Battle of Fuding would increase the psychological burden on Fujie Keisuke and Miura Saburo. Hang up.
After the phone call, Fujie and Miura discussed a few words about the current war situation. They believed that if Tamayama could not make a breakthrough, then this New Year's strategy would become a joke. They felt more and more that they had a heavy responsibility on their shoulders. The psychological implication of only allowing victory but not defeat was in
The two people's hearts took root, which gave them the determination to make a desperate move. They merged the headquarters together, deployed their troops with Fujie as the main one and Miura as the auxiliary, and quickly reached the following troop adjustment.
The offensive direction is divided into two parts. One part still has the 127th Brigade of the 114th Division as the main force. The frontline commander is personally served by the brigade commander Major General Akimitsu Saburo. On the basis of the 65th Infantry Regiment,
The 102nd Infantry Regiment and the 20th Infantry Regiment of the 16th Division were additionally deployed to remain in charge of the Hufeng Front. The other unit set out from Liudu Township in Yushan County, detoured to Huacun Township and then attacked Wucun Town in Guangfeng County.
The official is Major General Naoji Sakai, commander of the 19th Brigade of the 16th Division, which has jurisdiction over the Quzhou Security Brigade, the 9th Tank Regiment of the 16th Division, the 9th Infantry Regiment and the infantry of the 114th Division.
The 115th Regiment. In order to support both the Hufeng Front and the Wucun Front, the 22nd Heavy Artillery Regiment of the 16th Division and the heavy artillery brigade directly under the army will be deployed ten kilometers away from Wucun Town and ten kilometers away from Yushan.
One kilometer away and five kilometers away from Hufeng is Xujia Village and Longtouba area. The escort force is led by Major General Obaofu, commander of the 128th Brigade of the 114th Division, personally leading the 150th Infantry Regiment.
The Japanese army's force adjustment was not small, which brought a rare calm on the Hufeng front line. While the Japanese army was adjusting its force, General Ye Zhao transferred the 17th Xue Brigade to the Hufeng front line and made preparations for a counterattack. At the same time, he
The Shangrao Self-Defense Corps was dispatched to Guangfeng County to prepare for Japanese attacks from the southern front.
At about 2:10 in the morning, the battle started again. The Japanese army's offensive steps were still the same. First, they prepared conventional artillery fire, and then the infantry launched an attack. After the infantry was repulsed, the gas bombs came again. Learning from the past, this time Ye Zhaohao
He gave the order to retreat without hesitation.
So far in the fierce fighting, at least 2,000 Xue Er Army soldiers have died at the hands of the Japanese Field Artillery 120th Regiment. Therefore, everyone in the Xue Er Army hates this Japanese artillery unit and will eat them alive.
He had everything on his mind. Otsuka Noboru must have felt this. He tried his best to fight for a while and then changed positions. So far, he has changed four positions with more than 2,000 soldiers under his command, protected by a large group of infantry.
A position. And while he was counting the number of poison gas bombs fired and considering where to move next, under the embankment on the north bank of the Xinjiang River about five or six hundred meters away from them, two trainees, Zhang Xiaohua and Xue Defeng, slowly
After the two people looked at each other, the latter turned on the switch of the walkie-talkie on his body, adjusted the channel, put the microphone to his mouth and shouted softly: "Dashan, Dashan, I am Xiaoxi, please reply if you receive it"
!”
"Dashan received it, Xiaoxi please tell me!"
"Sign - Tanxi, 800 meters north, over!"
"receive!"
The frozen Xinjiang River is where the scouts from both sides compete. This is another battlefield. The battle often ends in one encounter, and the result is either your death or my death. The Shangying battlefield does not have the Wolf Fang special feature.
However, judging from the current situation, the scouts from the Second Army have gained an absolute upper hand in this contest.
Near Zhang Xiaohua and Xue Defeng lay the corpses of three Japs. Two of the three Japs had their necks wiped directly from behind, and the other one suffocated to death because his head was pressed into the snow on the bank of the Xinjiang River. Xue Defeng
The position of the 120th Field Artillery Regiment was just reported to Cai Dayong, the commander of the Fourth Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment. A few dozen meters away, a group of Japs walked over in the darkness. The leader of the Japs waved his flashlight to look around and said in Japanese.
"Where are Kameda and the others? Why can't you see them?" Just after he finished speaking, a Japs next to him grabbed him by the corner of his clothes. The Japs pointed to the front left and exclaimed: "What is that?" The Japs followed him.
Looking in the direction of the finger, the more alert person immediately shouted: "No, China's artillery attack!" and then fell to the ground.
All the Japs fell to the ground one after another, holding their heads and looking up - under their gaze, two fireballs flew from a distance, and with the sound of "hu" shells breaking through the air, they exploded in the position of the 120th Field Artillery Regiment in the blink of an eye.
Come on. Two fireballs rose up. A 75mm field gun was overturned by the air wave of the explosion. Several Japanese artillerymen next to it flew into the air. The wailing sound stopped suddenly before landing.
The sudden shelling shocked the group of Japanese soldiers. They were discussing something when the Japanese soldier holding a flashlight suddenly shouted: "Chinese people?!" and then swept the flashlight towards the river embankment where Zhang Xiaohua and Xue Defeng were hiding.
There was a brief silence after the explosion, so Cai Dayong's voice coming out of Xue Defeng's microphone was particularly abrupt. Cai Dayong was asking about the results of the test firing, but they were exposed.
"Xiaoxi, report the test results!"
Now that you've been exposed, let's fight! Xue Defeng shouted to Zhang Xiaohua: "Cover me!" Then he looked towards the place where the explosion came from. The explosion ignited several fires, and it could be distinguished by the faint light of the fire.
After testing the target, he retracted his head, pressed the send button amidst the gunshots of the Wei Qing assault rifle and shouted loudly: "Dashan, target, over!" Then, he said goodbye to the microphone towards his waist, and from
He took out a grenade from his waist, twisted the cap, pulled the fuse, and threw it after counting three seconds.
"Boom!" The grenade exploded. Amidst the explosion, the sky in the southwest suddenly flashed with red light. The next moment, a dozen fireballs rose into the sky, and then a dozen more... In just five minutes, hundreds of fireballs shot up.
It flew over here with lightning speed. Amidst the sound of "duh-duh-uh-uh-" shells piercing the air, the Japanese artillery position five hundred meters away suddenly flashed with flames, and then continuous explosions sounded.
, Zhang Xiaohua and Xue Defeng felt the trembling of the embankment under their feet, with relieved smiles on their faces - the mission was completed, they had nothing to regret, and next, let's kill the Japanese happily!
The counterattack by the artillery of the Xuebing Army was swift and accurate, far exceeding Noboru Otsuka's expectations. He did not know that this was because enemy scouts were lurking nearby to provide the artillery with shooting targets.
Bingjun's artillery visual inspection level has reached an incredible level, and he has indescribable emotions in his heart. Although he is unwilling to accept it, he feels that this is the inevitable result.
