The battle in Yushan was finally over. Tu Dai was holding on to a broken wall and was vomiting uncontrollably. He didn't feel anything when he shot to kill. The sacrifice of his comrades filled his heart with hatred. However, when victory came, The cheers rang out. When cleaning the battlefield, Tudai saw the mutilated corpses and the bright red and brown blood. Only then did Tudai realize the cruelty of war. So, he was unstoppable, nauseated, vomited, and even vomited out his overnight meal. , there is really nothing to vomit, and I feel a little relieved.
One soldier in Wu Dagan's class was killed and two were slightly injured. The fallen soldiers have been buried and the injured have been properly treated. Wu Dagan took the surviving brothers to guard Tu Dai's side. All of them were very good. Looking at him with concern,
This is an unprecedented sight for Tu Dai. If he behaves like this normally, everyone will definitely laugh and ridicule. But today, the reason why everyone's behavior seems weird is because Tu Dai's performance today is really like a gentleman. ,
In this battle, Tu Dai's performance was so outstanding. Just based on the figures compiled by the statistician in charge of recording, the number of Japanese he killed reached thirteen. This was originally nothing. After all, this number of enemy annihilations was Although it is not common among the student army, it is by no means rare. The key to the problem is that the Japs he killed were all the kind with Molotov cocktails wrapped around their bodies, and they suddenly came out of any nook and cranny, and according to the constant guard Wu Da Ganyun beside him: This guy is amazing. He almost doesn’t have to aim. When the gun is turned around, a Jaap will be blown up. Brothers, they all shoot in bursts.
In this battle, the greatest damage caused by the Japanese army to the 11th Regiment came from this incendiary human flesh bomb. It was precisely because of Tudai's extraordinary performance that the 11th Regiment lost many soldiers. Killing people and saving people, saving people contributed more. This is why as soon as the battle ended, Tan Xiaoyong, who had an injured arm, asked the guards to bring Tudai a bottle of Xuebing beer.
It is Tan Xiaoyong's exclusive method to give drinks to soldiers who have performed outstandingly in battle as a reward. Xuebing brand beer is extremely precious in this time and space, and can be compared to Maotai. After this incident, Tu Dai became popular among the officers and soldiers of the 11th Regiment. His image has completely changed. In the words of Wu Dagang: Another pure man is born.
War can make men grow and mature quickly, and this is especially true for Tudai. After he vomited, he was surprised to find that he was much more experienced in talking and communicating with others, and his face no longer turned red at every turn. ,
Yushan was finally taken, and the significance of daring to attack Linggang before the 3rd Division lay not only in how many Japanese were annihilated, but also in that the previous victories in Yingtan and Shangrao were firmly preserved.
However, although the process went smoothly, Li Hanhun was not satisfied. The casualties were too great. With a force ten times larger than the opponent's, the battle damage actually reached 80% of the Japanese army, which made him feel very bad for a time. , in the short summary meeting that followed, he questioned his subordinates as follows: "Why can't our troops fight in such tough battles? Is it because they rely too much on advanced weapons? If that's the case, then We will suffer big losses sooner or later. Everyone, please remember that people are the foundation, and weapons are just tools. Do you understand?"
So far, among the three armies, the Second Xue Army is the most outstanding. In the eyes of Zhang Da and Jiang Guangnai, perhaps the victory achieved by the Second Xue Army made them feel ashamed and blushing. However, Li Hanhun was suffering. Know,
In the two battles of Yingtan and Shangrao, Xue Er Army fought with superior strength, but they fought very hard. If it were not for the puppet troops anyway, the losses in the Yingtan battle would have been much higher. This He had to reflect on the problems existing in the army,
The 3rd Division rushed to Yushan all night long, but it was still a step too late. When they felt the white clouds only ten kilometers away from Yushan, the battle in Yushan was already over.
The radio station of the Yushan garrison was blown up by a tank shell during the battle. For this reason, Kawabe Masami did not receive the information that Yushan was lost. He thought that Yushan was still in the hands of the 13th Division, so he immediately launched an attack on Linggang. During the fierce attack, Lin Gang was guarded by two regiments from the Xue San Army Motorized Infantry Brigade. Zhang Laishun commanded these two regiments to resist for more than two hours. Just as he was about to ask for support from the Xue Er Army, which had been resting for some time, Hebian Zhengzo finally learned that After receiving the news that Yushan had been captured, he was worried that the forwards would break in too deep and be ambushed. He changed his strategy and asked an infantry regiment to continue the offensive against Linggang. At the same time, he asked the 25th Cavalry Regiment that originally attacked Linggang to move toward Yanrui. ,
The changes in the strength of the Japanese army quickly attracted Zhang Laishun's attention. Because the only one who was holding Yanrui was a dissatisfied regiment under his command, he immediately asked Li Hanhun for support.
At around seven o'clock in the morning on November 17, the Japanese vanguard, the 4th Cavalry Brigade, which failed to attack Linggang, launched a surprise attack on Yanrui with the 25th Cavalry Regiment as the vanguard, led by brigade commander Bu Qichunshu. ,
In Yanrui, the 3rd Infantry Regiment, under the command of regiment commander Fu Changjiang, built a solid defense around the township office early on. Only then did the Japanese cavalry reconnaissance troops appear in Yiniu Village, about three kilometers away from the township office. Fu Changjiang After receiving the report from the outpost, we immediately made preparations for the battle.
The 3rd Regiment withdrew from the front line of the attack on Yushan just two days ago. Because the entire regiment lost more than 30% of its troops in the attack on Yushan, in order to allow the regiment to rest and recuperate on the spot, the regiment followed the example of the commander of the Army's Machinery Infantry Brigade. Zhang Laishun then assigned them to defend Yanrui, which is located between Linggang and Litang. Litang was a depression that was not suitable for traffic at this time. Therefore, Zhang Laishun placed a company there to monitor the surrounding enemy situation. Precisely because Litang was not suitable for traffic. It is very likely that the enemy will appear. Compared with Linggang, Yanrui is safer. Of course, because Yanrui now blocks the road where the 3rd Division and the 13th Division meet, this place will become a Japanese enemy. The main target in the second round,
Although the Xuebing Army was the main attacker in this battle, as a local battle, they still controlled the favorable location and people. When the Chinese faced the invasion of foreign enemies, especially when the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, they always They can hug each other tightly. It was with these in mind that Zhang Laishun arranged it like this. Now, he finally discovered the mistake in this move.
The follow-up troops of the 3rd Division continued to press forward to the Linggang front line. The main force of the mechanized infantry brigade did not dare to divide its troops to reinforce Yanrui. Therefore, although they were only about five kilometers apart, Zhang Laishun was determined to face the entanglement of the superior enemy forces. Wuxin, but unable to send troops for reinforcements, had no choice but to turn to Li Hanhun for help.
The mountainous area at the junction of Zhejiang and Jiangxi is said to be unfavorable for cavalry troops. However, coincidentally, there is a smooth road between Linggang and Yanrui. This road is now controlled by the Japanese army. Instead, the 3rd regiment was occupied by the Japanese army and the main force. The troops were cut off and had to face the superior cavalry alone.
When dealing with cavalry, they must not be allowed to get close to them. Fortunately, the 3rd Regiment was well prepared and the fortifications they built were relatively strong. In addition, the advantages of the density and continuity of automatic weapon firepower also allowed them to firmly attack the cavalry. Control the frontier and prevent the Japanese troops from breaking through.
The mission of the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the 3rd Division is to quickly break through Yanrui, so that the main force can bypass Linggang and Yushan from here, and then take the southeast route to join the 13th Division. The 25th Cavalry Regiment has three A cavalry brigade, with more than 3,000 troops, gave them a firm advantage in terms of strength. The captain of the regiment, Colonel Izumo, originally planned to break through the Iwazui defense line in one go, and then use the rest of the troops to rush straight to the outer tent. As long as the outer tent was captured, shed, then they can join up with the Japanese troops of the two brigades of the 13th Division that were blocked in the southeast of Qunli Township. At that time, they will fight back to Yanrui and pick up the large troops. At that time, they will continue to move to the southeast to rescue the main force of the 13th Division. , or directly besiege and surround the main force of the three armies with the 13th Division, there are many choices.
When Kawabe Shozo was laying out the tactics, he particularly emphasized: "The key is to capture Yanzui quickly, so as to disrupt the Chinese people's arrangements. The sudden fall of Yushan did invalidate our original combat plan. However, the Chinese army Li Hanhun just captured Yushan not long ago, they must be very tired now, and this is an advantageous factor we can take advantage of, Mr. Buqi, please."
Buqichunshu resolutely carried out the order of Hebian Zhengzo. The 25th Cavalry Regiment began to charge about a kilometer away from the township office position. More than 3,000 Japanese horses galloped hard. Their momentum was indeed very scary. Dust was rising all over the sky, which also blocked the sight of the defenders to a certain extent. Fortunately, Fu Changjiang was prepared. Otherwise, it was really possible for the Japanese army to break through in one sprint.
As the cavalry array got closer and closer, the pressure on the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Regiment also increased. Fu Changjiang looked at the Japanese cavalry array that was disappearing, and for a time he doubted his decision: should he keep a reserve force?
Horses are extremely capable of sprinting over short distances. As soon as he hesitated, the more than 300 horses rushing at the front of the Japanese army were already within shooting range. Fu Changjiang had no time to think about it and immediately shouted: "Hit." Then he took the lead in firing. one shot,
"Click, click, click." The gunshots of the general-purpose machine gun sounded crisply, followed by the shots of various Weiqing-style automatic weapons. "Kong Kong." The mortars also began to show their power, "Boom." The Japanese cavalry stepped on a landmine. In the violent explosion, the horse that stepped on the mine and its rider were lifted up by the air waves. The horses that rushed up behind it had no time to dodge and were directly blown up. Some fell down, some were knocked down, and there was a sound of horses neighing and people howling on the position within three to four hundred meters in front of the township office...
"Charge, keep charging, no one is allowed to stop." Colonel Izumo was located in the middle of the cavalry formation. He shouted crazily, commanding his men to rush forward one after another without fear of death.
The fortifications built by the 3rd Regiment around the township office were originally designed to fight against ordinary infantry, so in order to obtain a good view, all debris and trees in the shooting surface in front of the fortifications were eradicated and dug out. The arrangement gave Izumo hope that the first stop would work. If the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Regiment still used ordinary rifles such as medium and formal rifles to fight, he did have a very high hope of forming a breakthrough in one round, but now it seems that the arrangement of the 3rd Regiment is more Like a trap, the cross-continuous firepower network formed by the general-purpose machine guns and Wei Qing-style automatic firearms was too abnormal. The Japanese army's fearless charge now seemed more like rushing to death.
