In the middle of the night, the bombardment effect of heavy artillery was very frightening. Seeing huge fireballs rising up one after another, followed by deafening explosions, many Japanese soldiers turned pale with fear, and their eyes were full of panic. Under the bombardment of such heavy artillery, no matter you No matter what your identity is, no matter how strong your personal martial arts skills are, there is only one end: death.
Before starting the attack, the Japs of the 10th Regiment were not afraid of death. It is actually wrong to say that. It was not that they were not afraid of death, but that they firmly believed that their opponents would be the ones who died. This confidence was based on rich Based on their experience against the enemy and long-term victory, however, when they found that the enemy on the opposite side was not as vulnerable as they were under mortar fire, and when they found that the number of comrades around them decreased sharply, their eyes Their eyes began to shrink, their hearts began to beat violently, their legs became heavy, and their thoughts returned to normal. They finally remembered that they were human beings and they would also die.
The shelling did not last long. The Japanese mortar units had already moved. This round of shelling was destined to have no substantial effect. Of course, if the artillery fire extended another five hundred meters to the northwest, then there would be It’s a good show. The main force of the 10th Division is lurking there.
The two warring parties were fighting each other on the river beach. The shelling would definitely cause accidental injuries. After Ye Zhao observed the effect of the shelling through the telescope, he ordered to stop the shelling and quickly move the position.
He did this to prevent retaliation from the Japanese artillery on the other side. The number of Japanese troops on the other side was clear and there was already a regiment. According to common sense, the Japanese army had never had the habit of using a regiment as a separate combat unit. So, if it was If there is a detachment, then there should be at least one regiment and a considerable number of artillery, Ye Zhao instinctively thought, and when the word "detachment" came to his mind, he suddenly thought of the word "Botian Detachment". As the name suggests, the only remaining Japanese 11th Army that has not yet entered the battlefield is the Botian Detachment. Ye Zhao did not know that the General Command had successfully adopted the "Double Cao Plan" against it. The Botian Detachment has actually been abolished now. He continued to think along this line of thought, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt. This Japanese army that suddenly appeared should be the Botian detachment. According to the information provided by the headquarters earlier, the Botian detachment had three artillery brigades.
The artillery units of the three brigades can already determine the success or failure of a battle. If Chi Guanxing hadn't suddenly presented these cannons, Ye Zhao couldn't imagine that he would still have the capital to challenge the Japs. But now, as long as he will With these heavy artillery from the 106th Division firmly in hand, the Japanese artillery would not dare to act rashly. Only in this way can the 36th Brigade have the capital to fight against the Botian Detachment.
Although the artillery shells fired from the other side did not cause any damage to the Japanese army, they did damage the morale of the Japanese soldiers of the 10th Regiment. As for the lurking Japanese soldiers who were thousands of meters away from the battlefield, they suddenly felt... An unknown feeling arose,
Before Maehara Shengmin led the troops to launch the attack, he was full of belief in victory. He even felt that he was toying with the Jiangbei Xuebing Army. However, the attack was not as smooth as he imagined. No, it was not at all It can't be said to be smooth. The battle has only been going on for a long time, but already more than two squadrons of soldiers have been killed. What makes him uneasy is that just when he thinks victory is in sight, he takes a look and plays cat and mouse. During the game, there were actually more than two brigades of heavy artillery units on the other side, the king of artillery in a hundred-step battle. What’s even more serious is that our own side does not have an artillery unit accompanying it. In other words, if an artillery battle occurs, our side will only Being able to take a beating without being able to fight back,
"The strength of the Chinese troops was misjudged. There are two artillery brigades, so the student army should be about one division. However, when our army hit the mortar salvo just now, the Chinese Why not fire artillery in retaliation?" Maehara Shengmin thought so, and suddenly felt scared: The Chinese artillery on the other side should be waiting for the appearance of our artillery. It is absolutely true, they are waiting for the opportunity to pre-emptively strike. Of course , there is another possibility that the trainees on the north bank are simply decoys, they are luring the imperial army to show up,
"The commander of the Chinese people is also a ruthless character. He can actually sit back and watch his subordinates encounter mortar salvoes and hold back. At this moment, it depends on which side of the two sides can withstand the pressure and force the other side to show their trump card first. Trump's trump card Once the opponent sees through it, the opponent can calmly plan the layout, and the outcome of this battle will no longer be in suspense. Perhaps, they may also hide a large number of troops nearby," Maehara followed this line of thinking. Continuing to think deeply, he suddenly smiled bitterly as he thought about it. It was obvious that Commander Nishio stood still because he saw this. However, in doing so, he pushed our 10th Regiment to the top of the volcano.
Although the 10th Regiment occupies a strength advantage, its weapons, equipment and fighting will are not as good as those of the Cadet Army. Moreover, the 10th Regiment is the one that is under siege. With enemies on both sides, the Japanese from the two brigades in the middle of the queue cannot Knowing how many enemies were attacking them, they began to become confused and uneasy, and began to unconsciously move closer to the northwest. They wanted to move closer to the main force when the battle was unfavorable. On the battlefield, the emotions of soldiers can be contagious to each other. Not to mention the last brigade, they only resisted for five minutes before they could no longer withstand it and retreated like a tide. The two main attacking brigade had already suffered heavy casualties, but now under the influence of the Japanese in the central area, they began to He shrank his hands and feet, and it took him a few minutes to advance a few meters.
A sneak attack and encirclement and annihilation battle ended like this. Maehara Shengmin was very unwilling, but he had no countermeasures. The Wei Qing-style firearms' close-range penetration capabilities were too strong. Hundreds of assault rifles and submachine guns fired at the same time, and the rain of bullets was dense. , it was not something that the Japanese soldiers without any protective measures could withstand. Gao Yongxiang led 800 people into the enemy formation in a skirmish formation. At first, the soldiers on the front and left fired collectively, and then they opened fire in a fan shape. The Japanese army was originally thick. A wide hole was immediately opened in the rear formation,
The skirmish formation organized by Maehara Sungtoshi is very interesting. Although there are more troops in the forward and middle sections, they are two brigades, but the formation is the loosest, while the one behind is the most tightly formed. The Japanese army The most concentrated rear formation was unable to withstand the impact of the student army, and the relatively weak central part was even more ineffective. Although many officers of the rank of captain and major commanded their men to lie on the ground and snipe desperately, their meager firepower was not enough for more than 800 students. The soldiers really couldn't put any pressure on them, but when Qian Shuanglin and others rushed up, a charge tore a big hole in the front of the Japanese army. The 10th Regiment, which was attacked on both sides, finally couldn't stand it any longer and broke out like a tide to the northwest. rushing in the direction,
