Dear friends, thank you!
At this time, it was already evening, and fire clouds rose in the sky, burning from the west to the east. They were red, as if the sky was on fire. After a while, the red fire clouds began to appear golden, and then turned into
Silver gray, lily color, ever-changing. Gradually, many images appeared in the clouds, some like galloping war horses, and some like fighting warriors. In an instant, the flaming clouds in the sky coincided with the battlefield scenes on the ground.
There are thousands of troops and horses, and there are many things to look forward to!
Seeing his troops swarming into the village, he was overjoyed. Major General Masanori Tanigawa, commander of the 17th Brigade, was a little carried away. He looked up at the flaming clouds in the sky and couldn't help but murmured to himself: "China is really awesome."
It’s a magical country, even the clouds in the sky are so beautiful, it’s so beautiful that it makes people enchanted!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tanigawa Masanori heard a sharp "sun" sound and quickly fell to the ground.
He was a veteran who had been on the Japanese-Russian battlefield and knew what the sound meant. But he was a little strange, how could there be a 105 heavy howitzer produced by the Japanese Empire here? After fighting for an afternoon, the Eighth Route Army in Beidengzhuang could only force
As for artillery and grenades, even Xidengzhuang, which has the strongest firepower, only has infantry artillery. Moreover, the artillery position on Tubal Road should have been destroyed, and it has not been fired for a long time!
Tanigawa Masanori was really smart. What he heard was indeed the sharp sound made by the 105 howitzer when the shell flew across the sky and was about to land when it was tested.
After Tanikawa Masahori, who was crawling on the ground, heard an explosion, he raised his head in surprise and looked around. He saw that the heavy artillery shell exploded only fifty meters away from him, forming a hole about ten meters in diameter underground.
There were three or four broken legs left in the pit. There were several soldiers lying on the ground around the pit, bleeding from their orifices, and they looked like they had been shocked to death.
Only the heavy artillery brigade of the entire Twelfth Army has this kind of 105 howitzer, and none of the other divisions have it. The heavy artillery brigade is cooperating with the 32nd Division and the 36th Division in mopping up operations, so it is impossible to arrive
Came here.
When Tanigawa Masanori thought about it, he felt that there was only one possibility, that is, the main force of Liu Yimin of the Eighth Route Army was here, and now he had to pack up his troops and mix them into the 17th Brigade, the 4th Cavalry Brigade and the 12th Army directly under
Replenished the team.
When he thought of this, Masahori Tanigawa couldn't help but raised his telescope and started observing. (《》7*
It's okay not to observe. This observation made Masanori Tanigawa jump up from the ground in fright. Amaterasu, why is there a green wave coming from the south of North Dengzhuang, East Dengzhuang, and West Dengzhuang?
Could it be that the Yellow Sea tsunami poured seawater here?
Of course, it was not a wave caused by the intrusion of the Yellow Sea, but the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army wearing green grass hats on their heads and green grass raincoats on their bodies, and they were encircling us!
Before Tanigawa Masanori could see clearly what it was, the Eighth Route Army artillery group fired test shells one after another. The surrounding area of Dengzhuang immediately heard the explosions of field artillery, mountain artillery, howitzers, cannons and heavy mortar shells.
Voice.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army artillery commander Li Chang was holding a telescope at the Wakouling artillery position four miles away from Dengzhuang to observe the effect of a test firing!
After the first test firing was completed, commands were heard one after another on the artillery position, and each gun was quickly correcting the bombardment parameters and coordinates. Soon, Li Chang loudly ordered: "Fire the artillery, five-round salvo!"
Li Chang's roar sounded the death knell for Tanigawa Masanori and his troops to form the 17th Brigade, the 4th Cavalry Brigade, and the supplementary team directly under the 12th Army.
105 howitzer shells, 105 cannon shells, 75 mountain artillery shells, 75 field artillery shells, and heavy mortar shells fell like raindrops. The first unlucky ones were of course the Japanese troops rushing towards Dengzhuang Village. A single shell would kill a few little Japs.
, what fell was the cannonball, what stirred up was the rain of blood.
Tanigawa Masanori seemed to be petrified. He stood there and forgot to even dodge the shells. His jaw dropped in shock. He had completely understood that this was a trap, a standard trap! I hate myself for being so stupid that I only figured it out now.
. What should have been thought of from the beginning is that in the small Dengzhuang, mines and ammunition bags specially designed to deal with tanks were buried on the road in advance. Mines were buried in the fields and bunkers were built under the walls. The Eighth Route Army was already there.
I was prepared and used Dengzhuang specifically to fish. And the fish was none other than me.
Tanigawa Masanori had no time to regret, and repeatedly ordered to retreat, retreat quickly!
The Japanese army has strict military discipline. If Masanori Tanikawa does not issue a retreat order, the troops will not dare to retreat at will. Of course, this is the performance of the 17th mixed brigade of the Japanese Army after being tempered on the battlefield. If it had been left a year ago, regardless of Tanikawa
Without Major General Zhengxian's order, the new recruits who formed the 17th Brigade would have been the first to escape.
Masanori Tanigawa is considered capable. After several attacks by the Eighth Route Army, he was able to lead the remnants to escape from the battlefield and survive. This is definitely a skill. The latest chapter of the Holy Church. No, even though he was retreating, Masanori Tanigawa did not forget to order the radio station.
Report to the headquarters of the Twelfth Army, and do not forget to order the 4th Cavalry Brigade to retreat first, establish a position, and cover the infantry retreat.
It's too late, it's too late. I only remembered to report to the 12th Army Headquarters and ask the 4th Cavalry Brigade to retreat at this time. Doesn't that look down on the wisdom of Liu Yimin, the invincible Chinese anti-Japanese general?
Tanigawa Masanori's order to retreat was not conveyed, and the telegram reporting to the Twelfth Army was not sent because the Eighth Route Army artillery group did not agree. No, Tanigawa Masanori, who was standing there roaring and giving orders, was cut by shrapnel from the Eighth Route Army.
The carotid artery was crawling on the ground like a dead dog. His flag carriers and radio operators were also blown to nowhere.
To be honest, the biggest gain in the Dengzhuang Fishing Battle was not the 17th Brigade formed by the Japanese, nor the supplementary team of the 12th Army, but the Fourth Cavalry Brigade that spanned the North China battlefield.
In fact, the Japanese army has realized that cavalry troops will inevitably be eliminated in the process of modernization, and they have experienced it firsthand. In April 1575, after Takeda Shingen passed away, his son Takeda Shingen led 15,000 cavalrymen to fight against Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga.
In Nagashino Castle. In this battle, the armored cavalry operated by the Takeda family for generations were severely defeated by the muskets of the Oda army, and almost the entire army was wiped out. This was the first battle in the history of Japanese warfare in which muskets played a decisive role. Japanese cavalry has since
Towards decline.
However, little Japan has been plotting to expand abroad, and the cavalry unit has the advantages of fast maneuverability and strong adaptability to roads. The Japanese did not give up this declining unit, but did everything possible to strengthen the cavalry.
For an island country with limited resources and a land area of only 372,000 square kilometers, war horses are much more valuable than soldiers, and cavalry is much more valuable than infantry.
There are eight types of horses native to Japan, including Togarama, Misaki horse, Kiso horse, Noma horse, Hokkaido horse, Tsuishu horse, Yonaguni horse, and Miyako horse. They are short in stature and lack load-bearing capacity and endurance. The Japanese are active
Promote the improvement of fine war horse breeds and cross-breed Japanese war horses with Arabian horses and European horses to breed war horses suitable for cavalry combat.
The improved domestic horses in Japan mainly include Arabian horses, Anglo-Norman horses, etc. Among them, Arabian horses have beautiful shapes, brisk movements, strong heat resistance and durability. They are used by the emperor's mounts, cavalry guards and carriages.
.
The cavalry basically uses Anglo-Norman horses. The horses used by the cavalry are basically Anglo-Norman horses. The stipulated height of the horse (the vertical distance between the horse's shoulder blade and the front hoof) is 153 cm, and the weight is about 460 kg. There is no encumbrance.
of meat. The infantry division's artillery draft horses and baggage draft horses are not as strict as the cavalry's use of horses. Especially after three years of the all-out war of aggression against China, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and the consumption of war horses was also high. Like the artillery draft horses and baggage draft horses of various units,
, that is, as long as there are horses, Mongolian horses are also included in the army's combat order.
The cultivation of war horses is so difficult, so the training is even more stringent.
The Japanese army has a total of eight military horse replenishment departments in Japan and Korea. Young horses will be raised in the military horse replenishment department for four years. In the autumn when the horse is five years old, the pony will be sent to the army.
After the pony leaves the army, the veterinary officer is responsible for a one-year recruit training, which is to train the new horse. The training is divided into two stages. The first stage lasts for seven months, and is based on various exercise methods and troop marching training.
Main; the second phase lasts for five months and focuses on training the horses' endurance. Horses that have been trained by new horses will have a review ceremony. After the team leader completes the review, the horses will be distributed to various grassroots units. After the training is completed, the horses will be distributed to each unit.
The horse's service period is ten years.
The management of war horses is stricter in daily life. The first task of the cavalry troops after getting up every day is to complete the stable work. The horses must be taken out of the stables, washed, cleaned, and provided with fodder. When the weather is fine, the horses must be let out of the stables.
The hay used for sleeping and resting is moved to the sun to dry in the sun. The entire stable operation takes about an hour. According to the relevant regulations of the battalion, each unit must complete all stable operations and feed all the horses before the troops are allowed to have breakfast.
.
War horses are fed three times a day. In normal times, the four ingredients include barley, hay, salt, etc. During wartime, the rations for military horses include other wheat, beans, oats, etc. Since horses need more water than humans, insufficient water will cause horses
Abdominal pain and hernia are the main causes of illness and death of military horses. Therefore, the relevant regulations on battlefield service and the first task of the army when marching and camping are to provide sufficient drinking water for the horses. Drinking water for the soldiers must be provided after the horses have finished drinking. For the safety of the horses and
Healthy, stables must send guards around the clock.
The Japanese cavalry unit used to be organized within the Kwantung Army. During the Huanggutun Incident, the Kwantung Army had a cavalry group with two cavalry brigades under its jurisdiction. Before the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, there were already two cavalry groups.
At this time, the Japanese army had two cavalry groups and 25 cavalry regiments.
During the Battle of Jilu Border City, where the main force of the Japanese 10th Division was eliminated, the main force of the Japanese 3rd Cavalry Brigade, which went south with the Second Division of the Kwantung Army, was eliminated by the cavalry brigade led by Hu Laohu using tactics of luring the enemy into an ambush.
It became a war horse for each infantry brigade and cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army.
The Fourth Cavalry Brigade, formerly the First Cavalry Group of the Japanese Kwantung Army, was stationed in Hailar before the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the First Cavalry Group and the Fourth Cavalry Brigade of the Kwantung Army were incorporated into the North China Front and entered the customs operations.
The Japanese's horse hooves trampled across the land of North China, and they owed blood debts one after another.
Major General Fujita Shigeichi, commander of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, has two regiments, the 25th and 26th, as well as the 4th Cavalry Artillery Regiment and the Baggage Brigade, with a total strength of about 5,200 people.
After the 4th Cavalry Brigade arrived on the battlefield, Masanori Tanigawa asked Major General Shigeichi Fujita to command the 4th Cavalry Brigade to serve as battlefield security out of love for the precious cavalry and war horses. The meaning was obvious, that is, to let the 4th Cavalry Brigade serve as battlefield security.
Watch the battle as a group.
No large Eighth Route Army troops were found around. The Eighth Route Army in the three villages of Dengzhuang was at most a main regiment of more than 1,000 people. Under such intense bombing by the aviation force and such fierce artillery fire, the Eighth Route Army probably suffered heavy casualties.
How can Major General Fujita Shigeichi be willing to accept the fact that all his military exploits have been transferred to the 17th Brigade? You can't let the 4th Cavalry Brigade come to the battlefield in vain, right?
As a result, the alert battlefield turned into a cavalry search. The arrogant Major General Fujita Shigeichi pointed his sword, and the 25th and 26th Cavalry Regiments of the 4th Japanese Cavalry Brigade roared towards the east and west directions of Dengzhuang.
, that means looting in the name of cavalry search, taking credit for the people's heads.
Major General Fujita Shigeichi had forgotten what happened to the main force of the Third Cavalry Brigade. He didn't even bother to think about it. The three villages of Dengzhuang have been attacked since early in the morning. The sound of gunfire scared the birds away.
, let alone the surrounding people? Moreover, the Eighth Route Army troops guarding Dengzhuang had many chances to evacuate, but they refused to retreat. Isn't there a mystery in this?
In this way, when the artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army's artillery group fell, the two main regiments of the Fourth Cavalry Group of the Japanese Army ran head-on into the main force of the Eighth Route Army's outflank assault.
Major General Masanori Tanigawa, commander of the 16th mixed Japanese Army Brigade, returned to the Yasukuni Shrine to report for duty, and Major General Shigeichi Fujita, commander of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, was not much better. However, he died in a different way. The Eighth Route Army was in swarms
When the artillery shells fell, the artillery positions of the 4th Cavalry Artillery Regiment and the 17th Infantry Brigade became key targets. Major General Fujita Shigeichi was hit by the frightened packhorse of the artillery truck and was trampled to pieces.
A ball of mud.
The Japanese troops on the front line in Dengzhuang and the soldiers of the Fourth Cavalry Regiment who were searching on both sides were completely awakened by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army. The gunfire roared on the battlefield, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army pressed forward from south to north. The little Japanese knew that it was over without being arrogant anymore.
, defeated and unable to contact the brigade commander, we had no choice but to seize the road and flee north. There is also Cao Fan's stronghold there, so we can rely on fortifications to hold on.
To the north? You have to ask the Eighth Route Army if they agree.
A column of armored groups quickly detoured from the east of Dengzhuang. The tanks, armored vehicles, and cars were all covered with green camouflage nets. The tanks, armored vehicles, and the heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun brigade and heavy machine gun regiment riding on the cars ruthlessly poured ammunition at them.
The cavalry on the Japanese war horses fought fiercely.
Hu Laohu's cavalry brigade came over from the west of Dengzhuang. The three cavalry regiments, plus the troops directly under the brigade and the first column of the teaching cavalry battalion of the first brigade and the new first brigade cavalry battalion, opened the floodgates and released water, and headed towards the little Japanese.
Coming.
