The entire army of the 40th Division was destroyed, and the division commander Seiichi Aoki was captured alive. The military flag was confiscated, especially the military flag, which shocked the Japanese base camp. [Fly] The Japanese army attaches great importance to the historical honor represented by the military flag. This
Even if the enemy team can defeat them or even achieve complete victory, they rarely capture the military flag. When the battle situation is not going well, it is a tradition of the Japanese army to first burn the military flag. The symbolic meaning of this tradition is to show that the unit does not hesitate to use all its troops.
Determination is shattered. So now that the flag of the 40th Division has been captured by the Chinese, does this mean that the frontline officers and soldiers have lost the bushido spirit and dare not die for their country? This is what the bosses of the Japanese military are most worried about.
So they frequently went to the Army Ministry and the National Dispatch Force Headquarters. Anami Yuki and Sawada Shigeru directly gave orders to the frontline commanders, urging them to carry forward the spirit of bushido and have the consciousness to serve the country with their own lives for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor. This is equivalent to giving the villagers
Rao Xiong and Uchiyama Ying, including the Japanese commanders in Yichun and Jiujiang, were burdened with heavy shackles, which forced them to consider the aftermath before fighting, which invisibly affected their combat deployment.
Before the emergence of the Xuebing Army, in every major war between Japan and Japan, although the Japanese military special high school would collect information about national commanders for their own commanders to refer to, the symbolic significance was far greater than the actual effect. Japanese commanders before the war
Just taking a glance at it was just to figure out which China general he was going to defeat. After the Xuebing Army appeared, especially in the Battle of Tianjin, the Battle of An, and the Second Battle of the Great Wall, the Japanese army was repeatedly defeated, and the Xuebing Army
The opposing Japanese commanders first began to pay serious attention to the intelligence about Ouyang Yun, and then began to pay attention to every officer who appeared in the intelligence with the color of a student army. Gradually, the Japanese military special high school responded to the request of the commander of the troops stationed in China.
Special departments began to be formed to collect and sort out relevant intelligence, so not only the Xuebing Army, but also every general in the country had their own files in the Japanese army's intelligence library. Then every time there was a big war, the Japanese commanders would habitually
Read the opponent's information, hoping to better suppress the opponent by understanding the opponent's combat style and command skills.
Mururao Rao and Uchiyama Hide met with the front-line troops last night to encourage morale. It was at the request of the military bosses. In addition, the most complete preparation they made was to study Rao Guohua's intelligence information, hoping to
Determine what kind of attack method he will adopt so that you can plan your defense accordingly.
Rao Guohua was a former general of the Sichuan Army, and the Sichuan Army was a representative of the country's backward armed forces that relied more on people than weapons. So Mura and Uchiyama quickly reached a consensus on what kind of attack method Rao Guohua would adopt, believing that
Rao Guohua will give full play to his military advantage and will invest saturated troops as soon as the war begins. "If the Chinese want to use the human sea tactic, then our underground fortifications will be effective. If we can crush the Chinese attack tomorrow, then there will be a heavy attack."
If their morale is dampened, maybe the Chinese will give up," Uchiyama Ying said. The two of them thought that Rao Guohua would launch a solid offensive, so they deployed two brigades of troops in the underground fortifications at the forefront of the fortress.
Then, when the heavy artillery troops of the Xuebing Army began to concentrate their firepower to bombard a certain area, the little Japs suffered a tragedy. There were more than 300 Japs stationed in that area. When the bombardment ended, more than 300 people were directly killed.
More than two hundred others were also killed by the shock. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers in nearby bunkers and tunnels were also injured by the shock.
The earth-shattering explosion sounded like muffled thunder through the underground tunnels and reached the ears of the village and the inner mountain. Feeling the vibration of the mountain, the faces of the two Japanese soldiers changed as they were drenched by the falling sand and gravel.
"It's a heavy artillery!" Uchiyama's voice was trembling.
Murasaki's face was covered with sweat, his small eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said in a deep voice: "The area will be bombarded intensively. I'm afraid it will be difficult to preserve the fortifications in the area affected by the bombardment."
Uchiyama immediately thought of a question, his face became very serious, and asked: "What if the Chinese attack from the blasted tunnel?"
The later additions to the fortifications were all built by the village leader. He once told Uchiyama that he could walk back and forth in the fort even if he closed his eyes. Of course, because the underground tunnels are too long and complicated, this time will be
It will be very long. "Don't worry about this problem. In terms of bravery, the imperial army is much stronger than the Chinese. If Rao Guohua really dares to do this, then I will make those Chinese pigs who rushed in regret coming to this world!" Cun Mi
He raised his eyes and said.
"Xinxi, then I'll be relieved."
The sound of explosions continued, and time became longer. I don’t know how much time passed. Just when Mura and Uchiyama thought the bombardment would not stop, suddenly the world became clear. Uchiyama was the first to react. He looked at his watch and said: "
It lasted for half an hour, and then it was time for the Chinese to launch an attack."
Uchiyama picked up the phone and was asking the operator to pick up the Iwashima brigade in front. The dull sound of gunfire came over. He threw the phone away and said to Uchiyama: "Uchiyama-kun, I will go and watch from the front, and I will leave this place to you.
.”
Uchiyama nodded. Murakami picked up the helmet and put it on his head, then walked out of the headquarters with a few officers.
The student army responsible for the first attack was the 11th Battalion of the 412th Regiment of the 11th Xuexi Division. As early as half an hour before the bombardment started, the 11th Battalion students, led by battalion commander Xu Mengzhen, crawled to a place one thousand meters away from the shelling area.
Hiding ready. One thousand meters is the minimum safe distance to avoid accidental bombing. At this distance, although the 11th Battalion cadets were lucky not to be accidentally injured by shelling, several were injured due to improper handling.
, the two most serious cadets were so shocked that they coughed up blood. The long shelling process was so loud that it made people temporarily deaf. The shelling stopped, and Xu Mengzhen was delayed for a minute before he came to the head of the 412th Regiment.
Realizing under the reminder, he immediately stood up and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me! Protect the fire-breathing soldiers!"
In tunnel battles, flamethrowers are an excellent weapon. It is a pity that tanks cannot come up to Madang Fortress. Otherwise, if flamethrowing tanks were deployed, this critical battle would be much simpler.
The cadets of the 11th Battalion on the ground generally suffered from symptoms of temporary deafness. The Japanese soldiers in the underground fortifications were naturally not immune. This was also an opportunity for Xu Mengzhen and the others to quickly open up the situation.
After the shelling lasted for half an hour, hundreds of deep pits were blasted out in the shelling area of about one square kilometer. These deep pits were either hard-exploded by the continuous bombardment of artillery shells, or the roof of the bunker was blown open, and there were many more.
The ones that appeared after the tunnels were blown up. And these blasted tunnels will be the targets that Xu Mengzhen and the others must capture.
Yesterday's bombing has completely destroyed the ground in Madang - the vegetation has been burned, the wet soil has turned into floating soil, and the blasted gravel is everywhere - these have seriously slowed down the progress of the cadets. In order to
Due to the sudden nature of the attack, Rao Guohua did not order the firing of signal bombs and illumination bombs, so Xu Mengzhen and the others could only rely on their memory and use the guidance of the embers of artillery fire in the distance to rush forward. There was no road at all, and gravel was everywhere, so from time to time
Some people fell to the ground, and even suffered bloody injuries. But no one groaned. They just got up silently and continued to rush forward, hoping to break through the one-kilometer death line in one fell swoop and be blasted away.
In the tunnel.
