Ye Zhao's orders were passed down step by step. Fortunately for the officers, they were used to complete obedience, but the reaction of the soldiers was great. Especially the group headed by Wang Jinyu had higher technical and tactical levels and annihilated more Japanese.
There are so many top soldiers who simply cannot understand why the division headquarters would issue such an order to show weakness to the enemy.
Wang Jinyu said to the squad leader who gave him the order at that time: "Who gave this bullshit order? The little devils are about to be destroyed, and they want to stop the attack. Isn't this an opportunity to escape from the enemy? No, I can't accept it."
"This is an order." The squad leader could only reply,
Wang Jinyu sat down, holding the machine gun in his arms. Thinking of Wang Jinfeng, tears filled his eyes. He roared: "No, I want to avenge my second brother. Squad leader, my second brother is dead, you know
Well, my second brother is dead."
Wang Jinfeng, who used to be a top soldier under the squad leader, also felt sad. He came closer and patted Wang Jinyu on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "I am also sad about Jin Feng's sacrifice, but this is war. Today is Jin Feng. Next
It will be your turn once and for all. Just because Jin Feng has sacrificed his life, you have to take more care, because you have to help Jin Feng complete his mission of killing enemies. Why, are you timid? Are you afraid that you will not be able to complete both tasks?
.”
"Ha, I'm not even afraid of death, but I'm afraid of this," Wang Jinyu shouted loudly. Suddenly, he realized the squad leader's painstaking efforts, his face immediately turned red, he shook his head and said softly: "Squad leader, I will resolutely execute the order.
"
The soldiers of the 123rd Regiment finally faithfully carried out the division's orders. On the other side, after Nakajima Qingcun saw this change, his face became ugly. The combat power of the student army was beyond his expectation.
As expected, let’s not talk about mortars. What we can consider is a repeating rifle per man. As a special division, the 106th Division has a lot of strength and equipment compared with the standing A division.
There is a big gap, the most obvious one is the number of heavy artillery. During the Second Great Wall War of Resistance, the Japanese army was deeply impressed by the heavy artillery of the Xuebing Army during the battle with the Xuebing Army. From then on, the Japanese Army's Class A Division Brigade
Level artillery has all become heavy artillery. Japan's own resources are limited, and North Korea is equally poor. Northeast China is rich in production, but because it has not been in business for a long time, and the Northeast
With the existence of anti-Japanese armed forces such as the Volunteer Army, the Japanese cannot yet exploit it unscrupulously, so they must still focus on some heavy weapons and equipment, and cannot basically be on an equal footing with the Xuebing Army. This is also the case with the 106th Division.
The reason why the regiment only has one regiment of heavy artillery is that Nakajima Qingcun has carefully analyzed the tactics of the Xuebing Army and knows that Ouyang Yun likes to engage in artillery tactics. If he wants to fight against
There are currently only two ways to deal with artillery tactics, either relying on aviation or using artillery to make artillery. Anqing Airport was destroyed, leaving the Japanese air superiority gone. In this case, Nakajima had to treasure the heavy artillery in his hands.
, when he found that the Xuebing Army on the opposite side suddenly took measures to prevent an artillery attack, he was worried that the other side had heavy artillery in ambush waiting for his own heavy artillery to show its position first, so he hesitated.
Another reason is that after all, there are more than 1,500 imperial troops on the other side. Although from Nakajima's point of view, it would be cost-effective for these people to become trainees of a regiment, but at this moment, with the possibility of adding a heavy artillery regiment,
, but he felt that it was not cost-effective. There was no doubt that launching an artillery attack at this time would definitely completely wipe out the Shizhongshan defenders.
He could even wipe out most of the students from Yanlie Mountain. However, once the heavy artillery regiment was determined and destroyed by the artillery of the students, he would really want to cry without tears. However, no
If they carry out shelling, Shanchigaki and the others will be exiled. Under the superior firepower of the Xuebing Army, Nakajima cannot believe that they can still make a comeback.
The annihilation war started as scheduled. What made Nakajima extremely regretful was that the 123rd Regiment actually used mortar tactics again. The mortars of the Xuebing Army were at least 85 mm in diameter, and dozens of large-caliber mortars were unleashed at the same time. , even though Shanchiyuan was already on guard, and took various defensive measures as much as possible, but it still could not avoid the collapse of the entire army under the bombardment of this short-range artillery.
Ling's forward landing force led by Shan Chiyuan finally launched a desperate reunion. More than 800 Japanese soldiers braved artillery fire and launched a charge towards the 123rd Regiment. Their fate was unquestionable. Although these Japanese soldiers finally showed their fearless side, But in the end, it is impossible to escape the result of the total annihilation of the entire army.
Shanchiyuan's vanguard troops did not carry many heavy weapons, at least not a single mortar. This put them in a dilemma when they were attacked by mortars, and could only be beaten passively. During this period, Shanchiyuan Yuan organized several attacks. If he wanted to rush out, he would at least break through the blockade of the Xuebing Army. However, facing the firepower that was far superior to his own, his several efforts only accelerated the demise of the army. Their ammunition seems to be endless. No matter which direction they attack (actually, there are only three directions), they will be greeted by a downpour of bullets. In this case, even if the little devil is not afraid of death, But still can't get rid of the end of the whole army being exhausted,
A total of 3,000 Japanese troops, except for the more than 200 people who were withdrawn with the ship, were all buried on the front line of Shizhongshan. During this period, Nakajima Qingcun could not help but order the heavy artillery regiment to provide support several times. However, when he thought of the enemy on the other side, There were still artillerymen from the Xuebing Army. He could only put down his half-raised hand and sighed in vain.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the gunfire on the Shizhongshan position finally stopped. After paying the casualties of more than 300 cadets, the 123rd Regiment completely annihilated the vanguard landing force led by Shan Chiyuan. Shan Chiyuan led the troops at the last moment. More than two hundred military police launched a desperate fight, but what greeted them was not the swords of the cadet army, but dense bullets. Shanchiyuan was finally hit by six bullets, and fell like a mangy dog on a beach stained red with blood. superior,
Since then, the Hukou offensive and defensive battle has entered a delicate stage. Zhongdao Qingcun no longer dared to attack a single soldier lightly. However, after sizing up the situation, Ye Zhao deployed an additional regiment to the Shizhongshan position. Subsequently, the 106th Division and The 34th Xuexue Brigade launched a reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance battle that lasted three days and two nights. The leading soldiers of both sides fought hand-to-hand in Jiujiang and Hukou. After each lost about a hundred people, they immediately entered a state of confrontation.
Capturing Hukou in a short period of time became an illusion, so Okamura Neiji had to turn his attention to Madang again. After convening a military meeting, he finally decided to concentrate his forces and launch an offensive against Madang, in an attempt to directly capture Madang, thereby completely to change the situation in Jiangnan,
The Japanese army began to gather in Yangwan Town opposite Madang Fort. Okamura Neji seemed to have made a desperate move. Not only did the 112th Division head to Yangwan, but the Botian detachment, which had been missing for a while, finally appeared. They appeared in Wang The battalion immediately launched a fierce offensive against the cotton ships across the river.
The Cotton Ship is located in the Yangtze River channel between Pengze and Wangjiang. It is a typical river center island. Compared with the Madang Fortress, the Cotton Ship is a bridgehead. Therefore, He Zhengjiang attached great importance to it when arranging defense, especially on the island. Two regiments were arranged to defend Zhoutou and Mianzhou villages respectively. Among them, the 301st regiment defended Zhoutou and the 304th regiment defended Mianzhou.
Ouyang Yun has always paid close attention to the Botian detachment, and the reason why he pays special attention to this brigade is because 90% of its soldiers are Taiwanese. After the Taiwanese Corps of the Self-Study Army on the island of Taiwan entered, Many local people who had been tamed by the Japanese began to rebel again, which has become a worry for the Japanese. For the same reason, Ouyang Yun had to take relatively mild measures to deal with the Botian detachment. What he was worried about was because of the Botian detachment. The introduction of excessive casualties to Taiwan Island will bring about an emotional backlash among the local people. Some Taiwanese who originally sympathized with the Xuebing Army will change their stance because their relatives were killed by the Xuebing Army.
Huang Hua was responsible for monitoring the information of the Botian Detachment. On the afternoon of the 106th Division launched the Hukou Offensive, he reported the movements of the Botian Detachment to Ouyang Yun.
"Commander-in-Chief, we have found the Botian detachment. They are now in Changling. Commander-in-Chief, Lin Haifeng, is asking for instructions whether we should act in accordance with the 'Double Cao Plan'."
Lin Haifeng is the person in charge of Wangjiang County of Hutong Foreign Affairs Department, and the so-called "Double Cao Plan" is an action strategy against the Botian detachment that Ouyang Yun personally participated in formulating.
In the past, in the Battle of Hankou, the Botian Detachment played a role that cannot be ignored and committed numerous crimes against the Chinese people. Originally, if there was no such thing as the Taiwan Corps, Ouyang Yun would have been able to cut through the mess quickly and treat it as a crime. To be treated as traitors, in fact, the crimes committed by the Botian detachment against the Chinese people during their stay in China were no weaker than those of any Japanese army. Although not all of its officers and soldiers were guilty of numerous crimes, even if they were all shot, it would not be enough. However, now, considering other factors, Ouyang Yun cannot deal with the Botian detachment at will.
Ouyang Yun is not afraid of the large number of Japanese troops attacking Madang. In his design, the more Japanese troops attack Madang, the better, because only in this way can the role of the Madang Fortress be fully utilized and more Japanese soldiers can be created for the Jiangbei army. Many opportunities to annihilate enemies,
To put it bluntly, in Ouyang Yun's mind, the Madang Fortress is a bait, and the troops defending Madang are the preservatives that make the bait effective for a long time. Then, the troops who raid Anqing are the ones who eliminate the Japanese army and change the Battle of Hankou The main force of the situation,
The name "Double Cao Plan" was given by Chen Shichang. Its meaning comes from the conflict between the two Cao brothers at the end of the Three Kingdoms period. The focus of the plan is to persuade the Taiwanese backbone figures in the Botian detachment to let them turn against each other in case the brothers Xiang Jian, it was Chen Shichang who proposed this plan, and although Ouyang Yun participated in the formulation of this plan, in fact he was quite disapproving of it in his heart.
In addition to collecting relevant intelligence, the work of the Fox Tong Foreign Affairs Department is also responsible for recording the crimes committed by the Japanese troops and traitor troops in the area. The records of the Fox Tong Foreign Affairs Department about the Botian detachment are full of crimes committed against the Chinese people. Therefore, Ouyang Yun really had no hope of persuading these fake devils to return to the embrace of the people. Of course, for the sake of the Taiwan Corps, it was still necessary to try, so he approved Lin Haifeng's request.
