Artillery is a branch of arms that requires high professionalism. Without a period of training and a certain amount of ammunition consumption, it is impossible to form combat effectiveness. However, a few wild artillerymen from the Second Regiment came up with this plan as a temporary emergency response. It's no problem,
The Matsushita Regiment has been frightened, and its loose formation at both ends and tight in the middle has greatly improved the utilization rate of artillery to a certain extent. Due to range restrictions, the artillery cannot reach far or near. If the Japanese army has maintained a relatively even attack formation, then even if the Yeluzi artillery under Lin Xiaoyu can use the artillery reliably, the number of shots will be limited. Now this situation is their opportunity. There are relatively few Japanese in front, so they cannot attack the Second Regiment. The sniper position formed an effective threat, and the Yeluzi artillerymen had time to fire a few more shots, so that they could give the Japanese in the middle a good beating. Their dense formation equaled to improve the level of these Yeluzi artillerymen.
The firing time needs to be precisely controlled. Considering the level of these wild artillerymen, only firing at the most appropriate time can cause the greatest damage to the Japanese. In order to severely defeat the Japanese in the first round of artillery fire, it was necessary to determine the Two trainees were ambushed at the position where Zhu Yuan was shooting, and they would send signals to the artillery by detonating the buried mines.
The retreat of the Japanese army was in no order. After a long pursuit, except for the Japs in the middle, they still maintained their order. In the front and back sections, the organization of the Japs was completely disrupted. Especially in the back, there were students who were chased by the Japs from time to time. When the soldiers were knocked down, Koichiro Suki was worried that the larger army would be bitten, so he had to leave a squadron or a small group of Japanese soldiers from the center to block the speed of the Xuebing Army's pursuit. This made the Japanese army's formation look even more complicated. There was chaos. Matsushita took advantage of the armored vehicle and escaped in the first formation. Sumiko Ichiro had no choice but to take over the baton and start coordinating the retreat sequence of the various units. Because Matsushita took the lead in running away, the Matsushita regiment's The Japs don't know how many enemies there are, so they have no fighting spirit. All they want now is to have two more legs so they can run faster. As for their previous ambitions, they are now almost a joke and no one mentions them. ,
Xu Mingtai and Xiao Yu were lying in the bushes on a hillside. They stared closely at the mountain road a few hundred meters away. There were lights there, and the roar of the motor was also heard. Xu Mingtai used his right hand to He touched Xiao Yu lightly and said softly: "It should be the Japanese." Xiao Yu nodded, and he touched the rope in front of him with his hand, feeling a little nervous.
That armored vehicle was the command vehicle of Matsushita Muhide. After it appeared, sparse Japanese deserters appeared one after another. When the armored vehicle drove up the mines laid by Xu Mingtai and Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu asked: "Do you want to Ring it now."
Xu Mingtai said: "No, wait and see what happens."
Xu Mingtai's choice was correct. A quarter of an hour later, after about a thousand Japanese soldiers passed by in twos and threes, a large Japanese army appeared. Three teams of Japanese soldiers drove over under the supervision of several trucks and armored vehicles. The front was orderly. , he looked a little flustered at the back,
Xu Mingtai said softly: "This is the moment." Then he pulled the rope, and Xiao Yu followed closely. In a moment, a fire suddenly appeared on the mountain road more than a hundred meters away from them, and then, a rumbling explosion sounded into their eyes. Amidst the screams, the Japs walking near the two explosion points were blown up into the sky. More people were shot by shrapnel and fell to the ground in pain.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, lie down." The little devil was already frightened by the snake shadow. That night, the ambush of the Xuebing army never stopped. Therefore, even if these were just two isolated explosions, they would still be The little Japs seemed shocked, and many people shouted, and then a large number of Japs fell to the ground and began to shoot aimlessly at both sides of the mountain road.
Naturally, no one responded to the gunfire. Xu Mingtai and Xiao Yu had already evacuated at this time, and almost at the same time as they walked down the hillside, the rumbling sound of gunfire came from the southeast, and those lying on the ground When the Japanese soldiers heard this terrifying sound that symbolized the arrival of the god of death, their faces turned ashen.
More than a dozen shells flew into the crowd of Japanese soldiers like they had eyes. One of them hit the carriage of a truck. Immediately, the truck and the thirty or so Japanese soldiers on it were all taken to the sky by plane. The Japanese did not open their doors at all. Several trucks came back, so each truck was obviously overcrowded. Originally it could only carry a dozen to twenty people, but now it contains more than thirty people. As a result, if it is directly hit by an artillery shell, the loss can be huge. That’s big,
This round of artillery attack came very strangely. What puzzled Koichiro Suki was that its accuracy was so high. This made him begin to suspect that what happened to the Matsushita Regiment today was indeed part of the Chinese plan. , the Chinese set up an ambush step by step, not only to break through the imperial army's encirclement and suppression, but what they wanted was to capture the Panasonic Regiment,
The shells continued to fall. After three rounds of shelling, what worried Koichiro Sumaki the most happened. The sound of gunfire came from the front, and the last Chinese troops appeared. No, this may be that they captured our cannon. troops, Sumaki Xiangichiro suddenly thought of this, the regret in his heart, and the desire to commit seppuku. If he had thought of this earlier, he would definitely not choose the current retreat route. Now, since he has embarked on this route, then it’s too late to say anything,
"Chief of Staff, this is our cannon." A captain came over with a dumb bomb in his arms. The text printed on the shell clearly showed that it was indeed their own cannon.
Sumiko Ichiro had a gloomy face. He looked behind him. There, the most advanced Chinese army had already come over. Although the Chinese army that was chasing the fastest did not have many people, the frightened imperial army had There is simply no courage to fight with them. Often, the opponent can break through the blocking line by organizing two charges. The enemies in front should be higher in quantity and quality than the enemies behind. If you don't think of a way to change. If so, then all the more than 5,000 people of the Panasonic Regiment may be assigned here. Subaki Xiangichiro struggled in his heart, and finally waved his hand to the captain and said: "Pass my order, and each brigade is free to break out."
"Chief of Staff, what about the commander?" This captain is very loyal to Matsushita Kihide. Of course, considering that the Japanese army likes to engage in gangs, once the commander is killed or captured, everyone below will be held accountable. He may have done this out of necessity,
"Ignore him, he is running at the front, he should have broken through." Koichiro Sumaki said this, but there was a look of contempt on his face. Matsushita Kihide never thought that his escape route had been blocked. He was dead, so he took advantage of the fact that there was an armored vehicle and ran at the front. The Chinese people are not fools. They didn’t rush forward when they saw someone in an armored vehicle. Your Excellency, our captain, must have gone to see Amaterasu at this moment.
It was really bad for Koichiro Sumiki to have such an idea at this time. And just as the captain started to convey his intention to break out of the encirclement on his own, as if to prove it to him, there was a sound coming from the sniper position of the cadet army ahead. There were cheers: "Matsushita Muhide has been captured by us." "You little devil, if you don't kill him without surrendering your gun, your captain has been captured by us."...
Sumaki Koichiro's expression changed. He thought it was the same thing, but when it really happened, he still couldn't bear the consequences of such an accident. The commander's arrest had a great impact on the morale of the troops. He could clearly feel that the dense gunfire from his headquarters suddenly paused, and then when the gunfire rang out again, the effect was much worse.
"If you want your commander to live, put down your gun quickly. I'm talking about you. Why, do you want to kill your commander?" Several cadet soldiers pressed down Matsushita Kihide and shined the headlights of a truck on him. He shouted at the Japanese who were still resisting not far away,
Koichiro Suki, who originally wanted to say it was a rumor, obediently shut his mouth.
Officers and soldiers from the Third Regiment, the Fourth Regiment and the First Regiment appeared on the battlefield one after another. Zhang Yishu and Xie Changan were about to lead their men to block positions on the left and right sides, but Zhang Zhengyong stopped them: "Don't block them. We must give them a way to escape, otherwise, our people will suffer heavy casualties." Afraid that his two subordinates would not understand, he explained: "The combat power of this group of devils is not weak. The reason for this situation is that Their momentum has been defeated by us. Once they find that their retreat is completely cut off, they will fight to the death. Brothers, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, our people are not as good as the little devils. Therefore, in order to avoid excessive casualties, we must also fight to the death. Our future battles should be settled as soon as possible. If this battle can be fought like this, we have already made a fortune."
Facts have proved that Zhang Zhengyong's decision was correct. After less than 3,000 Japanese soldiers successfully broke through, the remaining 500-odd Japanese soldiers were made into dumplings. It was these 500-odd Japanese soldiers who gave the officers and soldiers of the 101st Division a painful blow. lesson,
The little Japs who went crazy were very scary. The 101st Division had limited automatic weapons. They could not form a one-sided firepower advantage in the face of the Japs who launched a desperate charge. As a result, more than 400 soldiers fell on the way to snipe these Japs. ,Among them, many soldiers were killed by the bombs detonated on their bodies by the Japanese who seemed to be dying.
The final encirclement and annihilation battle was heroic and tragic. Many local Taiwanese cadets shed tears after this battle. The cruelty of the war was far beyond their expectations, and what would a qualified soldier do in the war? Only at this moment did they understand that when many Japanese soldiers burned the fuses of their explosive packs and rushed toward them crazily, it was the veterans who stepped forward, hugged the Japanese soldiers and pinned them down. , and ended up being wiped out with a loud "bang" sound...
The battle of "Xiaowokan" allowed the 101st Division to grow rapidly. After this battle, the Japanese no longer dared to underestimate the Taiwan Army. They began to gather more superior forces and march to Taiwan Island. Under this situation, The battle for the Taiwan Corps became increasingly difficult.
