Madang is so important that the senior officials of the relevant parties all stared at the progress of the war with their eyes wide open. [Flying] The 3rd Division was attacked by an air attack in the mountainous area in the southeast of Tonggu County. The Hankou Flying Group was severely defeated. Anan
The only carefully planned counterattack failed. The 11th Army could not be counted on. Tojo Hideki could only strictly order Sawada Shigeru's 13th Army to reinforce Madang at all costs. At the same time, he began to organize a new Santai Offensive and decided to kill the chicken.
Using the power of three divisions to remove the cancer in the belly of the imperial army, the Santai guerrilla column. The Japanese were anxious, but the central government in Chongqing saw an opportunity for counterattack. The Japanese army's strategic focus was on Hunan, Jiangxi and Jiangsu.
, Anhui, and Shanghai were transferred, which gave the Central Army the opportunity to launch a counterattack in northern Hubei and southwest Henan. The main reason why Chiang Kai-shek was eager to let the Central Army launch a counterattack this time was to contain the Xuebing Army. He saw that the Central Army was eager to launch a counterattack.
It is very clear that once the Xuebing Army captures Madang, Jiangxi and even Hunan may be recovered by them. If Hunan and Jiangxi are recovered, then the Xuebing Army will not only own the vast area south of the Yangtze River, but also lay a solid foundation for marching into Jiangbei.
He dared not imagine that if Jiangsu, Hubei and Anhui were recaptured and occupied by the Xuebing Army, would the central government still be called the central government?
As for the Xuebing Army, Ouyang Yun, who was far away in Karachi, began to pay close attention to the Madang war after finishing some urgent matters at hand. In his plan, he will set off to return to Guangzhou in three days. Li Tieshu confirmed the news
After that, he immediately informed Rao Guohua and reiterated the order that Madang must be recovered within three days - "When the Commander-in-Chief returns to Guangzhou, I hope that Madang can send back good news. I think the Commander-in-Chief will like this gift."
Madang was so important that it even aroused great attention from the commander-in-chief, which put a lot of pressure on Rao Guohua. It also forced him to seriously consider Zhang Lingfu's proposal and whether he should take advantage of his military strength and adopt a multi-pronged strategy.
Although the Xuebing Army suffered more than a battalion of casualties in occupying the collapsed tunnel, it was generally smooth. In view of Li Tieshu's strict order, Rao Guohua was even mentally prepared to trade three for one, but this still cannot be changed.
The reality that the situation has been unable to be opened up for a long time. He originally thought that with the advanced base of the collapsed tunnel, he could use his own advantages in weapons and equipment to gradually suppress the Japanese army's living space. In the end, it would be like an ant colony.
The battle is the same, annihilate all the little devils in the mountain fortifications or drive them out. In fact, this is not the case. The Xuebing Army's good luck seems to have run out, and the next battle is surprisingly unsatisfactory. Wansen Regiment attacks
In one afternoon, all methods were exhausted, but in the end they only captured two lanes and five bunkers. The price they paid was that the entire regiment suffered more than 60% casualties and was disabled.
The Japanese army defended every tunnel entrance, every lane, every bunker, and even every hiding place for soldiers. At first, the Wansen Regiment could easily open up the situation with flamethrowers, but soon
The Japanese army found a corresponding method. Speaking of which, it was Rao Guohua who reminded them. The little devils began to use soaked quilts as curtains at the entrance of the tunnel as a shield against the flamethrower. This actually reduced the effectiveness of the flamethrower.
It was so compromised that from two o'clock in the afternoon, Wansen had to use people to fight for control of the tunnels, hidden soldier caves, and even bunkers. The Japanese army waited and waited, and the Wansen Regiment's casualties immediately doubled.
They were more familiar with the structure of the mountain dug by the little Japs than the cadets. Often, the cadets of the Wansen Regiment had just captured a tunnel, and suddenly a Jaap appeared from behind them. The gunshots rang out, and the cadets were caught off guard.
Suddenly, they fell to the ground. More often, a Japs holding explosive packs or cluster grenades suddenly rushed in from the tunnel next to them. Even if the trainees could react quickly and shoot immediately, they would still inevitably be killed.
The explosion killed.
By nightfall, the Wansen Regiment could no longer attack, so Rao Guohua had to replace another regiment. However, it only lasted until midnight, and this regiment suffered more than half of its casualties, so it had to be replaced again. However, their fighting results in the middle of the night were only a few.
Just captured two tunnels and a few bunkers.
"This won't work. If we continue fighting like this, let alone three days, we won't be able to win it in a week." Rao Guohua became anxious and kept pacing around the headquarters.
No one in the headquarters said anything - if we don't fight like this, what else can we do?
Suddenly, a staff officer hurriedly came in to report that the scouts lurking on the other side reported that the Japanese reinforcements were preparing to cross the river, and that the crossing point was at Section 3.
Sawada Shigeru had already dispatched reinforcements. At this time, in the vast area across the Madang Fortress, the Japanese army had gathered a division and an independent brigade. In Jiujiang, the Japanese army also had new numbers, which were subordinate to
An independent brigade of the 11th Army. The Xuebing Army Air Force completely controlled the air superiority over Hunan and Jiangxi, so the Japanese reinforcements did not dare to cross the river during the day. For the same reason, the Air Force provided intelligence, and Rao Guohua had a clear view of the deployment of the surrounding Japanese troops. Rao Guohua knew
If he wanted to capture Madang in a short time, the key point was not to allow the Madang defenders to receive reinforcements, so in order to prevent the little devils from crossing the river at night to reinforce the south bank, he had a countermeasure early on.
Rao Guohua was furious because of the unsatisfactory fighting on the front line. The Japanese troops in the north of the Yangtze River chose to cross the river at this time, which was a direct hit. He immediately turned around and walked to the telecommunications room, took the microphone from a communications staff officer, and began to communicate with the reconnaissance team on the other side.
After learning about the situation of the Japanese troops in the No. 3 River Section from the scouts, he picked up another message and called the Artillery Joint Command Headquarters, and ordered Tu Bo, the commander of the heavy artillery brigade directly under the army there, to have the artillery units do a good job.
Design preparation, shooting Zhuyuan temporary school is No. 3 river section.
A quarter of an hour later, the scouts reported that the first wave of Japanese troops crossing the river had begun to board the boats. They looked like a large group, and the main force was still three thousand meters away from the ferry.
"The little devil is testing us," Rao Guohua said coldly, ordering the scouts to continue the reconnaissance, and then called Tu Bo and told him to set the shooting parameters for Zhu Yuan based on the No. 3 river section.
After finishing the arrangement, he cursed fiercely: "Damn it, this time I'm going to make the little devil walk away without food."
Jiangbei was ordered to reinforce Madang by the 13th Independent Infantry Brigade under the 13th Ground Army. The commander of this brigade, Major General Haruo Yamamura, was very cunning. The troops he sent to cross the river first were not regular troops under his command, but his own.
A security group from the local Peace Corps.
After the security group boarded the boat to cross the river, he proudly said to his officers: "Our enemy Rao Guohua is a powerful China general with rich combat experience. He should have thought that we would use the cover of night to cross the river. If this is the case.
If so, then let them fight like dogs."
