Chapter 203 The Elegy of the Chahar Dispatch Corps (5)
Chapter 203: Elegy from Chahar’s dispatched corps (V)
After issuing the order, Liu Yimin calculated the strength of the Independent Mixed 15th Brigade.
This mixed brigade was composed of part of the Kanto Army's Second Division, and it is under the jurisdiction of Colonel Juro Goto, Colonel Tetsuro Huokakura's 30th Infantry Regiment, and the Second Cavalry Regiment of Takenan Nakasa Honta's Takenan
Team, Colonel Takahashi's Second Field Artillery Regiment, Colonel Ito Sei's Third Engineer Regiment, and also has a light and heavy army squadron. It has much stronger troop strength than the Independent First Mixed Brigade stationed in Taiyuan City. However,
Today, one of its brigades has been eliminated in Yangquan. Although the attack on Niangziguan is short, the losses must be huge.
I know how powerful my troops are. This is different from the field battle between Chen Dayong's 7th Brigade and Dike, but based on Xiongguan, and the fortifications that the Jinsui Army had been operating for many years, and Zhang Hongtao suffered as many casualties.
The enemy's casualties must be much greater, at least three to one. Of course, Zhang Hongtao's casualties mainly come from the strong attack of the frontal enemy. The 15th Independent Brigade arrived late, and only attacked twice, but no matter what,
It's no problem to consume one of his squads.
In this way, even if Pingxingguan and the independent 15th Brigade were fully replenished after the Xinkou Battle, there were four infantry brigades, one cavalry gang, one engineer gang, and one field artillery gang. I will follow the direction of Niangziguan.
It is okay to win the strength of the army, the key is not to underestimate the enemy.
Liu Yimin thought about it again and again, and sent another telegram to Zeng Zhongsheng, explaining the 15th Brigade's forces, and once again emphasized that he used feint attack to attract enemy artillery to open fire, and then concentrated artillery fire to destroy enemy artillery. Then he attacked the enemy
The entrenched positions must implement firepower saturation strikes. Force the enemy to break through automatically, and give full play to our advantages of more automatic weapons, more 60 mortars, and more rocket launchers, so as to completely defeat the enemy.
After receiving the telegram, Zeng Zhongsheng knew that the division commander had not gone to the battlefield in person for the first time, so he couldn't rest assured, so he sent a telegram to Liu Yimin, asking him to rest assured and ensure that the task was completed resolutely. Then he made the final arrangement and started to close the network.
The battlefield, which arrived at 5 pm, was launched on the attack after arriving. The troops were located, artillery positions, etc., and Zhang Hongtao's Sixth Education Brigade had clearly observed the 6th Brigade and had already reported it to Zeng Zhongsheng and then arrived.
Li Chang, the commander of the artillery brigade, can be said that Liu Yimin's worries were unnecessary. If the artillery brigade was at Niangzi Pass, it would have beaten the enemy to run away with his head.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Zeng Zhongsheng ordered the group of gunfire to open fire.
Li Chang had been waiting for the firing order. As soon as he received the order, he immediately ordered the field artillery regiment and the mountain artillery regiment to cover and shoot at the enemy field artillery gang positions according to the calibrated area.
Poor Major General Seiichiro Shinohara only found himself trapped in the encirclement, and did not find that two artillery regiments came under the cover of night. He had thought that the Chinese army's artillery was not as good as his guns, and the range was not as far away as his guns, and the rifles were all old-fashioned rifles.
, if you hit it close, there will be few bullets. Organize artillery to bombard it with all your strength. If the infantry charges, you can tear a hole and retreat while the night is dark. If the Chinese army dares to pursue it, then ambush it or counterattack it, and then retreat calmly.
Such an elite independent 15th Brigade, not to mention the ordinary Chinese army, even if it encounters the most elite Chinese Central Army, there is no problem with a brigade attacking two or three divisions. Now, I see groups of shells flying by.
The night sky hit his field artillery gang position, and Seiichiro Shinohara's heart fell slowly and fell into the ice cave. He finally understood how Taiyuan Jiancheng was broken in such a short time.
.It turns out that the Chinese army also has such powerful artillery!
Before Shinohara Seiichiro woke up from shock, he completed five volleys of fire at the enemy's artillery position. After seeing the fireworks of the enemy's artillery position, Li Chang directed the artillery group to turn quickly and began to fire at the enemy's attack and assembly site.
Attacked quickly.
This hit the critical point of the Japanese. Because Major General Seiichiro Shinohara was determined to withdraw from Hebei after receiving the telegram from Seishiro Itagaki, he had sent a reconnaissance team to find a way, and all the Japanese troops had completed the assembly, except for serving as a warning to the attack positions of Niangziguan.
Outside an infantry squadron and a cavalry brigade that was guarding the railway and highway, the old Japanese from the Kwantung Army were on standby in the whole team, ready to retreat. The groups of shells fell down and bombed the old Japanese.
There were so many people, especially those cavalrymen, who couldn't even control their war horses. They were so lively.
The discipline of the Japanese soldiers is really not a good thing. The order to break through was not coming down. Although they climbed on the ground or ran to avoid shelling, they did not leave the gathering place. This was like exposing themselves to being reflected by the shells.
The night sky is under.
The soldiers of the 8th Brigade Reconnaissance Company looked at the power of the artillery group and shouted wildly that the Japanese were the Japanese. While using signal flares to indicate the artillery's bombing location, letting the gun group chase the Japanese troops running around.
At this time, there is no need to teach the signal of the reconnaissance company of the Sixth Brigade. In this chaos, the target of the Japanese army was clear, and the artillery brigade's own observer could accurately guide the artillery bombardment. Wherever there was a Japanese brigade assembled, they would fight wherever the Japanese became
The established troops flee wherever they flee. Without the threat of airplanes bombing, the artillery brigade's shells exploded on the heads and feet of the old Japanese.
The cannon group was singing, the cannonballs were singing, and the artillery was singing. These old Japanese soldiers from Northeast China kept shouting birds, wailing, and crying, and were pulled and pushed by the black and white impermanence of China.
, rushed into the arms of the great god Amaterasu.
The Japanese cavalry brigade, who served as the guard of railways and highways in the direction of pacifying the direction, saw that the large army was struggling under the artillery fire of the Chinese army, was determined to attack the Chinese army's artillery positions and gain a glimmer of hope for the large army.
The brave Japanese cavalry no longer considered the hidden formation. They turned out from the hidden mountain, got on a horse and lit it with flashlights, bent down, and rushed towards the Chinese army's artillery positions.
Of course, the Japanese cavalry knew that the consequences of such an impact were probably the whole body to be broken, but at this time the Japanese soldiers were basically freaks from the spirit of the Bushido, and they were extremely indifferent to life. They were not afraid of the infantry firepower of the opposite Chinese army, so they had to use speed.
Decisive victory.
How could these Japanese know how to teach the first brigade? What is the concept of the firepower of the third brigade? How could they know what the plateau, Li Qing and Hong Chaoyuan do? How could they know how anxious the infantry were when they were stolen by artillery? The Japanese Cavalry Brigade
As soon as the formation charge was launched, the troops of the First Brigade, the Third Brigade and the Fifth Brigade were immediately discovered by the troops of the 1st Brigade, the 3rd Brigade and the 5th Brigade. They were all greeted by mortars, light and heavy machine guns, and the Bayi automatic rifle. At most, it was 10 minutes.
In time, a large group of more than 500 Japanese cavalrymen, all of whom were turned into corpses, including men and horses.
Zeng Zhongsheng really understood this time. It turned out that during the Xinkou Battle, a regiment of the Chinese army went up and quickly wiped out. It seemed that he was not killed in battle with the enemy for bayonets, grenades, and rifles.
He was killed by the enemy's plane cannons. Since there were so many shells left by the Japanese and Yan Xishan in Taiyuan, the division commander repeatedly emphasized that he would not need to save money by using shells to talk to the enemy. He would follow the requirements of the division commander's saturation strike.
Send the Japanese back to their hometown!
The artillery attack continued. The field artillery and mountain artillery groups of the artillery brigades continued to roar, and the artillery soldiers of the brigades that were constantly compressing the encirclement also began to join the battle group and conduct second artillery attacks. In the words of the plateau, it was to take every inch of the possible gathering place of the Japanese army.
Give all the land to pears.
Major General Seiichiro Shinohara finally woke up. The scene in front of him made him feel like he was in a nightmare. The two infantry corps that he was preparing to break through, one of the engineers and the other cavalry corps had just gathered their troops and was about to break through in the night.
This immediately hit the gun under the gun. Especially the suicide attack of the cavalry brigade who was serving as a guard just now made Major General Seiichiro Shinohara feel that he had completely subverted his impression of the Chinese army. Such powerful firepower was completely a
The burning fire of hell must turn the imperial soldiers who can fight to ashes. What a cruel Chinese!
Listening to the rumbling sound of cannons, looking at the flying shells, and then looking at the soldiers who were constantly shaking up by the shells. Shinohara Seiichiro burst into tears of regret. If the attack was not smooth, he would lead the troops to escape.
How good it would be to go? How could there be such a situation where the entire army would be wiped out soon? These are all elite veterans of the Kwantung Army, and they were unexpectedly destroyed by the Niangzi Pass.
Seiichiro Shinohara finally lowered his proud head and sent the last telegram to General Suichi Teraunuchi, with only ten words on it: "My soldiers dance in the artillery fire!"
After sending the telegram and looking at the battlefield situation, Seiichiro Shinohara had to admit that it was impossible to organize a system of breakthrough, which would make the Chinese army's firepower more powerful and the troops would be destroyed faster. Strong independence mixed with 15
The entire brigade army is broken in front of you!
The situation on the battlefield was no longer allowed Seiichiro Shinohara to sigh again. He pulled out his command knife and ordered the military flag to be burned, confidential documents were destroyed, the entire army broke through in dispersion, and returned to Shijiazhuang to concentrate.
This order is equivalent to declaring the collapse of the 15th Brigade of Independence. Whoever can escape will be his life. Unfortunately, Major General Seiichiro Shinohara did not know that he came to the burning land of China and met the Japanese invaders.
They have always been teachers who have eliminated evil and are destined to be wiped out.
Seiichiro Shinohara knelt on the ground, facing east, pulled away his military uniform, tears in his eyes, muttering to himself, and stabbed the sword into his stomach amid the guards' screams.
With the death of Seiichiro Shinohara, the defeated Japanese soldiers who received the order to break through were scattered and broke out like sparrows entering the net, trying to get out of the net. The Sixth Corps of the Education Pressed from the Madam and surrounded from three sides.
The first brigade of the teaching, the second brigade of the teaching, the third brigade, and more than 40,000 elite troops spread out the net toward the middle net. The Japanese's resistance changed from small brigades to scattered, and in the end they could only occasionally hear a few angry birds and crisp sounds.
The crisp sound of the 38th large cover, and in the end, the remaining Japanese were red-eyed, holding the 38th large cover with bayonets, holding the grenade, holding the explosive pack, trying to die with the soldiers, without exception,
The beatings were all over the place. The cheers of the soldiers after they met echoed at the foot of the mountain behind Niangzi Pass for a long time.
On the night of November 20, 1937, the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade, composed of part of the arrogant Kanto Army Second Division, was finally over under the ninth Xiongguan Pass of the World, Shanxi, China, under the siege of the main force of the instructor.
The evil history of invading China, traversing the Northeast, and North China, thousands of soldiers turned into thousands of fragmented and unrecognizable corpses.
While encircling and annihilation of the 15th Independent Brigade, the battle between the Second Independent Brigade, the Fourth Institutional Brigade, the Fourth Institutional Brigade, and the heavy firepower troops were also opened.
.
Chashang Village is in the north of Yangqu County, in the middle of Yangqu County to Xinkou. The Tongpu Railway turns a big turn here. Therefore, it is only a few kilometers away from Chashang Village to Tongpu Railway.
To the north of Chashang Village is Dongzhuang and to the south is Nangou. The three villages are almost in a straight line, blocking the way to escape to the Longhai Line by the Second Independent Mixed Brigade.
Liu Yimin initially issued an order to Chen Dayong to lead the troops of the dike to the mountains of western Jinxi until the dike did not intercept the Gui and the Jinsui army in western Jinxi. Because the conquering time of Taiyuan was too fast, the dike did not intercept the Gui.
It is impossible to go west anymore. Chen Dayong's mission became to monitor and consume the dike and not to block your troops. Later, it became to threaten the dike detachment, attracting the Independent Second Brigade to assist and join the dike detachment. Although the specific task is one
The daily changes are three times, but the goal has always been to eliminate the embankment and not to block your troops and the independent Second Brigade.
Since leaving Taiyuan on the afternoon of the 19th, Chen Dayong's troops have been leading by the nose. Both sides kept fighting fire, and the casualties were roughly equal. However, the 7th Brigade of the Teaching Brigade's troops were three times that of the Dike, and the troops were at any time.
You can surrounded the dike without placing your troops. It was not until you received the news that Taiyuan fell, and the dike without placing your troops to realize that you were fooled by your opponent. They were holding your nose and making fun of it!
Immediately afterwards, Thibubuki received an order from Soichi Tetanuchi, who asked him to lead his troops to merge with the Independent Second Brigade and return to Xinkou.
Japanese officers of this level of Tsubukuro are different from Seishiro Itagaki. They are intermediate officers who are very active, serious and loyal in carrying out orders. They are now going to break off contact with the 7th Brigade of the Church and return to the east quickly. Unfortunately, the Teaching is at this time
The 7th Brigade quit. Chen Dayong gave the order and the troops chased after him, and it meant a faint surround. Why didn't you know that the Chinese army was preparing to encircle and destroy him after conquering Taiyuan, and commanded the troops.
He stepped up his retreat to Xinkou, and asked Major General Honda, the Second Independent Brigade, to seek help from the Major General of the Government and Finance of Honda, and asked him to quickly reinforce and retreat to Xinkou together.
I think that as long as the two armies join forces, the Chinese army chasing behind will stop chasing and can retreat to Xinkou in a calm manner, because since the Manchuria Incident, as long as the emperor has been the only one who has been chasing.
Once the army took the initiative to attack, the Chinese army always threw away their armor and fled in a panic. Even if they did not escape and resist on the spot, they would end in failure. Although Taiyuan is lost now, it was just the Chinese army attacked by the main force of the imperial army leaving Taiyuan.
As long as the army returns to the rescue, the Chinese will obediently hand over Taiyuan.
What made Honda Masato and Hitoku not expect was that the Chinese army chasing behind did not mean to stop chasing, but was hanging behind him. This army had small cavalry troops with very accurate marksmanship and were fighting immediately.
Mortars and machine guns are very accurate. As long as the Imperial Army soldiers walk a little slower and enter their range, the result will be only one word: "Die!"
The troubled man was chasing, and the Masato of Honda was furious and prepared the troops to stop advancing and eliminate the Chinese troops who were chasing. However, when the troops stopped and built their positions, the Chinese troops stopped advancing and asked them to fight.
No, it’s not right. In this way, the two sides fought and stopped, and the marching speed naturally slowed down.
Itagaki sent a report saying that he would lead his army south and let them retreat to Xinkou or retreat back to Hebei. Honda Masato and the dike were not intertwined with Guicai as if he had just woken up from his dream. The old bastard sold them, and they became
If the army is alone, if it delays further, the Chinese army that captured Taiyuan will catch up and he will go to see Amaterasu with Commander Yukio Kasahara. The reason why the Chinese army behind him is to keep the imperial army
, buy time for their main force to come to join forces.
After judging the situation in front of him, he did not hesitate and ignored the pursuit of the Chinese army behind him. He kept leaving small troops to block the enemy. The main force forced his troops to march north and headed towards Chashang Village.
Come.
The Japanese are rushing to the night, and the lights on the armored vehicles are the best targets. In addition, Chen Dayong kept informing the enemy's marching direction and speed. Liu Jian, who was born as the chief of staff, quickly determined the enemy's marching route and arranged it in Chashang Village.
Well, the position. This is not because of how high Liu Jian's level is, but because the traffic conditions were too poor at that time. The Japanese not only had infantry, cavalry, but also light tanks, light armored vehicles and cars, and they must go on the main road. As soon as the road situation is familiar
, it will naturally be able to determine where the Japanese were going to Xinkou.
At 10:50 pm, Honda Masato and Dibugu led their troops to the vicinity of Chashang Village.
From yesterday afternoon to now, the troops are in motion, and the soldiers are sleepy and tired. Seeing that there is a village in front of them, Honda Masato planned to rest here for half an hour, so that the soldiers can eat and recover their strength.
Unexpectedly, the vanguard of the search mission was silent after entering the village. Honda Masato and Dibuku feel something is wrong, so he ordered two light tank squadrons of the Second Brigade and Dibuku to independently form the second brigade and Dibuku in an attacking manner.
When he entered the village, the Daquan Detachment followed up, and the Fourth Battalion of the First Field Artillery Regiment commanded by the Independent Mixed Second Brigade immediately established a position to prepare for combat.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two tank squadrons arrived at the entrance of the village, they shot strange shells one after another, smashing the tanks into pieces. Honda Masato knew that there was trouble, and a large Chinese army arrived.
Just as the whole army was about to open on the spot, he heard the rumbling sound of cannons. Honda Masato looked up and saw that the sky was extremely brilliant. Groups of shells crossed the night sky and smashed down at his troops. The team was immediately
There was a sound of ghosts and wolves crying.
Masato Honda knew that half of his feet had stepped into the gates of hell at this time, so he could not hesitate at all. He immediately ordered the Fourth Field Artillery Brigade to fire quickly and bombard the Chinese army's artillery positions. The Hidden Detachment seized the mountain on the left, and Colonel Jiro Ishikawa's first alliance
The team seized the mountain on the right, and Colonel Yuasa Masao's third infantry revoltage covered the brigade unit and cavalry, engineers, and the back team turned into a front team to break through.
It should be said that the deployment of Major General Honda's political talents is relatively appropriate. Unfortunately, no matter how appropriate the deployment is, it is useless, because he and his troops fell into their pockets and wanting to run out again was a delusion.
Just as Major General Honda Masahito had just given the order and the troops were about to unfold, dense torches were lit on both ridges, illuminating the Japanese marching teams that had lasted for miles without any escape.
A torch lit up behind the team. The Chinese army that had been hanging behind its own marching team cut off its retreat. The bright torch told the Japanese army that the road was no longer open.
Torches are not scary, what is scary is the mortars raised under the torch, the muzzles of mountain cannons and long rows of light and heavy machine guns.
On the hillside on the side of Chashang Village, a field artillery regiment commanded by Wang Shanzhu, the political commissar of the Artillery Brigade, was constantly bombarding the Japanese field artillery brigade. The Japanese field artillery brigade was destroyed without even erecting the artillery. The gun group was in the Japanese
The head was raging, ravaging the nerves of Honda Masato and the dike.
The disaster continued, and the mortars and heavy machine guns on the ridges on both sides joined the chorus, smashing the attempt of Honda Masato to launch its troops and seize the ridges on both sides to pieces. Honda Masato's heart was bleeding, and he shouted to the sky:
"God Amaterasu, show your spirit quickly and save your brave and loyal Yamato people!"
Amaterasu was probably lazy, and she didn't know where to sleep at this time. It seemed that she hadn't heard the call for help from Masato Honda.
The shells continued to fall like hail, but the hail was a little big, and each drop could bring about a piece of broken limbs. On the road and on the hillside were covered with dirty blood, flesh, arms, and legs.
Some tenacious Japanese devils set up a Type 92 heavy machine gun and grenade launcher to attack the bright area of the torch. Unfortunately, they often get a grenade or a chain that has not been fired, and they are still shot and cannoned by shells and people.
Flipped with a gun.
Masato Honda originally thought that as long as he survived this shelling, when the Chinese army infantry surrounded him, he would use the Imperial Army's precise shooting and stabbing ability to severely damage a part of the enemy and concentrate his troops to break through the siege. What he could not have imagined was that
Yes, the command art of this Chinese army is very low, and can do nothing, and will waste shells and machine gun bullets. Even rifles are too lazy to use, but just use shells and light machine gun bullets to torture the imperial army despicablely and massacre the emperor.
military.
The Chinese army used cannons and light and heavy machine guns to compete with the Imperial Army, which made the accurate shooting of the Imperial Army soldiers useless because it exceeded the effective range of the rifle.
Despicable Chinese! Abominable Chinese! A Chinese without samurai spirit!
