The 17th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army was historically organized in Shanghai and was affiliated with the 13th Army. It had participated in several wars and its combat effectiveness was very powerful. Now, due to the appearance of Liu Yimin, this group that should have appeared in Shanghai
The Japanese troops have been guarding Zhangqiu on Jiaoji Road since the day they were organized, and have been repeatedly attacked by the Eighth Route Army.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the main force of the 17th Brigade, composed of Japanese soldiers, arrived one after another.
When Major General Masanori Tanigawa, the brigade commander, saw that his brigade captain was camping a thousand meters away from Beidengzhuang, assuming a posture of being immovable even if the enemy is immovable, he became angry and pulled the man over.
The captain crackled and snarled, and kept cursing cowards and cowards.
After the battle, Major General Masanori Tanigawa deployed on the spot, ordering one brigade to capture East Dengzhuang, one brigade to capture West Dengzhuang, cover North Dengzhuang from the east and west, and one brigade to attack North Dengzhuang head-on, leaving one brigade to prepare.
Team.
Major General Tanigawa Masanori only had five ** infantry brigades, one of which was stationed in Zhangqiu. Regardless of whether the remaining four ** infantry brigades were full or not, they were drawn from all directions and all gathered together.
The Japanese attack was carried out in strict accordance with the requirements of the infantry drill. Tanigawa Masanori set up the infantry artillery of the brigade artillery team and the infantry artillery of the Fourth Brother Brigade. Regardless of the situation, they headed towards North Dengzhuang and East.
Dengzhuang and West Dengzhuang were bombarded.
After a full 20 minutes of shelling, feeling that the three villages had been bombed to the point where walls and houses collapsed, Major General Masanori Tanigawa pointed his sword and ordered an attack.
The size of the Japanese army's brigade attack was very impressive. Three brigade attacks were launched at once, and the attack power can be imagined.
The battle in Dengzhuang has entered a fierce state!
This mixed 17th brigade did not suffer in vain on the battlefield. It made rapid progress. The charge formation had the posture of a Japanese permanent division. In small teams, they dragged light and heavy machine guns and carried grenade launchers.
Go forward quickly. There is still a long way to go to the village.
At 400 meters, the heavy machine gun team began to establish a position, and the sound of the mountain was heard, covering the infantry attack. At 250 meters, the light machine gun team and grenade launchers also established a position, shooting fiercely at the entrance of the village, covering
Infantry attack.
Seeing that the entrance to the village was only 60 meters away, the Japanese soldiers at the front suddenly fell to the ground following a command, raised their hands and shook grenades, and then set up their rifles to search for suspicious targets. ("") The Japanese soldiers behind them followed.
Covered by the dust cloud caused by the grenade explosion, they rushed towards the village with shouts.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army opened fire.
Bai Dagui had also experienced hundreds of battles. When he saw the Japanese army launching such a large-scale attack, he knew that the opportunity had come to use firepower to kill the enemy, and immediately ordered a resolute blockade.
A row of shooting holes was exposed at the base of the Beidengzhuang wall. Machine guns, August 1st automatic rifles, flower machine submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles, and 380 guns all opened fire. The bullets flew towards the Japanese army.
The Japanese team at the forefront fought hard.
A year ago, if they had encountered such fierce firepower from the Eighth Route Army, the soldiers who had been mixed into the 17th Brigade would have immediately scurried away. Now it is no longer possible. After training on the battlefield, the original recruits have become
Veterans, the combat effectiveness of the 17th Brigade of the *** also came up. No, when the Eighth Route Army fired back, the little Japanese did not retreat, but quickly fell to the ground, raised his gun and fired at the Eighth Route Army.
As soon as the Japanese fell down, the soldiers' hit rate dropped. Bai Dagui immediately ordered to stop shooting to save bullets.
As soon as the Eighth Route Army stopped shooting, the Japanese army immediately began to attack again. This time, the Japs no longer just attacked along the road towards the entrance of the village, but began to spread out their formation, forming a skirmish formation, and rushed towards Dengzhuang in the north.
The Eighth Route Army laid anti-tank mines and electrically detonated mines on the road, waiting to deal with Japanese tanks and armored vehicles. The Japanese tanks and armored vehicles have not appeared yet, so Bai Dagui is reluctant to detonate electrically detonated mines!
The Japanese artillery position fired again, and the shells whined and fell towards the village. This time, Major General Tanigawa Masanori ordered concentrated artillery fire to bombard the village wall, open gaps, and open more attack channels to facilitate the troops' attack. He
It was now clear that the Eighth Route Army's small arms firepower was very fierce. If they attacked along the main road, the casualties would be too high.
Dengzhuang is located at the northeastern foothills of Mount Tai. There are many stones. The villagers use stone walls to build their houses, not to mention the walls used to prevent bandits from robbing. They are made of strips of the same color and are quite strong. The infantry
The cannon is not a heavy cannon. Unless it is fired directly, it will not be able to blow through a stone wall under normal circumstances.
Only the Eighth Route Army understood the principle of direct fire from infantry artillery, not the Japanese army.
As soon as the Japanese infantry formed a skirmish formation and attacked Beidengzhuang from the fields, they detonated the iron watermelon and land mines that had been buried there. In an instant, the fields outside Beidengzhuang Village were filled with rumbling mine explosions.
The explosion made the little devil cry for his father and mother, and pee.
The Japanese artillery shells are exploding, the landmines in the fields are exploding, and there are explosions all around Beidengzhuang. The latest chapter of the Holy Church
This is the case for the North Dengzhuang battlefield, and the same is true for the adjacent East Dengzhuang and West Dengzhuang battlefields.
Major General Masanori Tanigawa studied at the Army Infant School, the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and the Army University. He is not a reckless general, and he is not willing to use the bodies of soldiers to block the bullets of the Eighth Route Army. After a while of shelling, it seems that the effect is not great, and the troops are again
Being blocked by the Eighth Route Army's mine array, Major General Masanori Tanigawa ordered the attack to stop, the troops to retreat, and an emergency call for aviation support began.
The Japanese aviation force actually sent a reconnaissance plane over in the morning, but did not carry out the bombing because it did not receive a signal from the ground forces. Jinan is very close to this area, and the plane arrived soon after taking off.
After a while, eight Japanese planes flew over Dengzhuang. Under the signal instructions of the Japanese ground troops, they began to carry out indiscriminate bombing of North Dengzhuang, East Dengzhuang and West Dengzhuang.
After the bombing on the first slope was completed, the Japanese planes did not detect the ground anti-aircraft fire, so they became bolder and began to attack at low altitude.
The power of aerial bombs is much more powerful than the shells of the 92 Infantry Artillery. Once a bomb hits the ground, there will be a big crater. If it falls on the roof, the house will collapse immediately.
After the eight Japanese planes dropped bombs and strafed, they flew away. Immediately afterwards, eight more Japanese planes arrived and bombed three villages indiscriminately again.
After three consecutive waves of indiscriminate bombing by Japanese aircraft, there was basically no complete house visible in North Dengzhuang, East Dengzhuang, and West Dengzhuang. Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army removed the thatched roof of the thatched house in advance, otherwise it would have caused a fire.
No!
After the plane bombing ended, the Japanese army launched another attack. This time, the Japanese army no longer attacked in all directions to be bombed by landmines. Instead, they focused their artillery fire on several exits of Zhuangzi, and the covering troops forced their way into Zhuangzi along the main road.
With such a high-intensity air attack, the Eighth Route Army was almost dead. Major General Masanori Tanigawa was full of confidence. This time he must take down the three connected villages in front of him in one fell swoop.
Major General Tanigawa Masanori's command sword was raised high again, and the Japanese flag soldiers kept waving their arms to signal the troops to attack.
The Japanese artillery bombardment and aircraft bombing just now were indeed fierce enough, basically blowing Zhuangzi into ruins and rubble. Bai Dagui and Lin Xiang could see clearly from the company command post that the Japanese army was about to launch a large-scale attack.
This time we have to let the fire support platoon take action, otherwise we won't be able to stop the little Japs.
The fire support platoon's two mortars and two grenade launchers were set up, with their muzzles all pointed at the north gate. The two heavy machine guns from the heavy machine gun squad also entered the two bunkers behind the wall near the entrance of the village, preparing to
Use crossfire to block the main road at the entrance of the village from left to right.
The Japs rushed up, and the Eighth Route Army's heavy machine guns and light machine guns all opened fire, with flames spraying from the muzzles, and rows of bullets were thrown at the Japs like water.
Major General Masanori Tanigawa discovered at this time that the Eighth Route Army used bunker fire to block the Imperial Army. However, he had no tanks and no direct artillery fire. He could only watch his soldiers being attacked by the Eighth Route Army's machine gun fire and rifle fire within 100 meters of approaching the village.
The firepower knocked them around.
The terrible thing happened again immediately. With the scream of "日", "日", two mortars and two grenades of the Eighth Route Army opened fire. The shells and grenades landed 150 meters away from the entrance of the village.
, exploded above the heads of the lying Japanese soldiers, driving shrapnel into the backs of the Japanese soldiers.
Major General Masanori Tanigawa's eyes turned red, he howled, pointed his command knife at Beidengzhuang, and ordered the artillery to fire to destroy the small artillery of the Eighth Route Army.
The Japanese Type 92 infantry artillery is not effective against a stone wall, but it is more than enough to deal with the Eighth Route Army's two mortars and two grenade launchers. No, the mortars and grenade launchers of the first company in Beidengzhuang
After only three rounds, the Japanese artillery shells fell. They had to move quickly.
Major General Masanori Tanigawa is desperate. This time, he will no longer condone the lives of the soldiers. One brigade cannot capture a village. What a shame!
The Japanese attack force received the order and launched another all-out attack.
A Japanese soldier didn't know which nerve was wrong, but he shouted "Long Live the Emperor" and rolled forward, intending to use his body to detonate a mine and open an attack channel for his companions.
Naturally, this soldier died miserably, but immediately a dozen soldiers followed his example, shouting and rolling forward one after another, and actually rolled out of the three passages alive.
Major General Masanori Tanigawa burst into tears and loudly ordered the troops to launch a fierce attack.
You can't be reckless in this battle. No matter how brave you are, you will still be killed by bullets. The Eighth Route Army has a company of 150 people, and the Japanese army is attacking an infantry brigade. But if the Japanese army hits the muzzle of the gun, every bullet will be fired.
The Japs, a company of 150 men, can also block the attack of an infantry brigade of the Japs.
After fighting for a while, the little Japs also rushed into the village entrance, but had to withdraw under the fierce firepower.
Major General Masanori Tanigawa did not expect the Eighth Route Army's firepower to be so fierce, so he ordered the troops to retreat and began to fire special smoke.
Gas bombs fell one after another into North Dengzhuang, East Dengzhuang and West Dengzhuang.
At this time, the 4th Cavalry Brigade, which cooperated with the 32nd Division and the 36th Division in the mopping up operations, arrived. Immediately afterwards, the Japanese 12th Army's direct-affiliated chariot convoy and supplementary team departing from Jinan also arrived by car.
.Major General Masanori Tanigawa, who was assigned to take command of the former enemy, was completely relieved now and immediately reported to the Twelfth Army Headquarters that the reinforcements were in place and a general offensive was about to be launched.
Then, Major General Masanori Tanigawa adjusted his deployment and asked the fourth cavalry brigade to guard the battlefield. He redeployed the brigade he had left as a reserve and the five infantry brigade sent by the supplementary team directly under the Twelfth Army and assigned them to Beideng
Zhuangzi, East Dengzhuang, and West Dengzhuang ensured that each of the three Zhuangzi would have three infantry brigades to launch an attack. He wanted to use his superior strength to overwhelm the Eighth Route Army's stubborn resistance.
An hour and a half after the gas bombs were fired, Major General Tanigawa Masanori ordered the launch of a general offensive. He wanted to end the battle before dark and withdraw to the Cao-Fan front line to prevent the Eighth Route Army from carrying out night attacks.
This time, the little devil used the twenty-four tanks sent by the chariot convoy directly under the Twelfth Army, and led the infantry to launch a fierce attack.
At this time, Bai Dagui no longer dared to have any reservations. When the Japanese tank led a small group of soldiers to attack the village along the road and the passage where the Japanese soldiers lay in the field, the anti-tank mine on the road exploded.
When the sound went off, Bai Dagui ordered the detonation point to detonate, and there was a loud boom, which suddenly enveloped the little Japanese who were attacking along the road to the north gate, east gate, and west gate into the smoke and dust.
The dust cloud carried the Japanese soldiers and rose into the sky. When it fell, there were piles of broken limbs and a rain of blood, staining the road red.
Immediately afterwards, the bazooka operators of the Eighth Route Army opened fire, targeting the Japanese tanks. Once the rocket was launched, it was a ball of fire, turning the Japanese tanks into a pile of scrap metal.
The Japanese army was already gambling. They didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army's firepower would be so powerful after the special-colored smoke was released. Major General Masanori Tanigawa was not in a hurry for casualties. He waved his command knife and kept giving orders, ordering the artillery to fire and tanks to lead the infantry attack.
The tank gun on the Japanese tank has a much longer range than the rocket launcher. After the tank in front was knocked out, the tank behind immediately began to fight back. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the Eighth Route Army's rocket launcher team position and fired violently at the Eighth Route Army's bunker. In this way, the Eighth Route Army
In order to reduce casualties, the position had to be moved, and Japanese tanks rumbled into the village.
In this battle, there was a huge disparity in power. The Japanese army was like a hammer, and the Eighth Route Army was like an anvil being struck by the hammer. It all depends on whether the anvil can withstand the beating of the Japanese hammer.
As soon as he saw the troops entering Zhuangzi, Major General Tanigawa Masahori excitedly touched his mustache and shouted "Yoshi", with a smile on his face.
Major General Masanori Tanigawa immediately ordered the radio station to send a report to the Twelfth Army Headquarters to report the good news that the troops had invaded the village.
Major General Masanori Tanigawa was happy a little too early.
