After Xu Shiyou gave the order to attack Lanfeng, Shen Yong and Liu Kun did not immediately order the troops to launch a feint attack. Instead, they ordered the fourth battalion, fifth battalion, sixth battalion, supplementary battalion, and fire support battalion to quietly attack by the Zhang River east of Longwang Station.
, set up positions, and then ordered the reconnaissance platoon and guard company to pretend to be national army reconnaissance troops, and conduct feints towards Xiaoding Village, Dashi Village, and Sun Village by the Zhang River, with the intention of bringing out the Japanese and annihilating them.
Shen Yong's method was mainly based on the fact that the Japanese army had been stationed here for a while, and there must be landmines buried in front of the position. It would be difficult for the troops to touch it rashly in the middle of the night if they encountered the Japanese mines. Once the mines sounded, the Japanese soldiers
They must be alert. Although Shen Yong and others knew that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese 27th Division was average, the 27th Division was basically a regiment of the independent brigade of the North China Army. The old Japanese of one regiment led two regiments.
New recruits, the 27th Division's fighting will should be relatively tenacious. Exposing the troops to the enemy's firepower to carry out a strong attack is simply sick!
Gao Genbao, commander of the Guard Company of the Fifth Regiment, was a soldier of the 18th Red Regiment. After being rescued at Gulingtou, he was incorporated into the Second Battalion. Later, he was expanded with the Second Battalion into the Second Guard Regiment and the 12th Red Division. When the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, he
He was the platoon leader, and after a few battles, he served as the guard company commander of the Fifth Regiment.
During the military training competition in Xi'an, Gao Genbao's shooting skills were very outstanding. Wang Tongsheng originally wanted to select him into the sniper team. Unfortunately, his educational level was a bit low and he was the platoon leader of the main force, so he had to give up in the end. However, the sniper team was
During the training in Xi'an, a group of outstanding shooters were selected from various units for training, and these people were sent back to the units to be used as special shooters. Gao Genbao participated in the training, and his shooting skills were improved, and he was basically incompetent in combat.
When he failed, the soldiers gave him the nickname "One Shot".
After Gao Genbao accepted the mission, he separated the three platoons of the company and asked the reconnaissance platoon to lead the team and rush towards Xiaoding Village, Dashi Village and Sun Village. He and his instructor Liu Xi took the fire support platoon's two heavy machine guns and
Two 60mm mortars and four grenade launchers followed a row and pounced directly on Dashi Village.
At this time, Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma had just received an order from General Juichi Terauchi. He knew that early tomorrow morning, the heavy military group on the front line in Xuzhou would launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression in southwestern Shandong, and the 38th Division would also be transferred to southwestern Shandong.
, responsible for the security mission in southwest Shandong.
Although Masaharu Honma is a lustful ghost, even though he is a figure like Zhao Kuo or Ma Di, but where is his military theoretical literacy? He knows that he should be more vigilant before large forces move, and strictly orders all lines of defense to strengthen defenses to guard against China.
The army made a sneak attack. Therefore, all the Japanese strongholds on the front line of Sanyi Village turned on their searchlights, illuminating the front of the position.
As soon as Gao Genbao saw this formation, he knew that the Japs were very vigilant, so he hurriedly stopped the platoon leader and asked him to lead the soldiers to make some feint movements to attract the Japs' attention.
Sure enough, as soon as the Eighth Route Army soldiers made any movement here, the sentries on the Japs' position noticed it, and heard the sounds of commands and the sound of rifle bolts being pulled.
Gao Genbao smiled, asked for the August 1st automatic rifle from the correspondent, aimed at the Japs opposite who was looking around furtively with a gun in hand, and shot the Japs straight into the air.
Now the excitement was getting louder, and the Japanese troops on the battlefield began to scream, and the bullets made the dust in front of the soldiers rustle.
Gao Genbao ordered in a low voice: "Free fire, two rounds for each person!"
What is the main force? That means well-trained, tenacious in style, able to fight well, invincible, and invincible. The Second Teaching Brigade and the Fifth Teaching Regiment are well-deserved main forces, and their combat effectiveness is naturally indescribable. Gao Genbao said
Following the order, the soldiers hiding on the ground calmly looked for targets and began to fight back.
The officers of the Little Devils at all levels are all military academy graduates, and they are all tactically savvy. They know that at this time, their large forces are encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei, southern Hebei, and the border of Hebei and Shandong. The situation in eastern Henan is very delicate. No one can say
It was unclear whether the main force of the first theater of the Chinese army on the opposite side would launch a counterattack while their troops were empty. Therefore, Gao Genbao's shot woke up all the little Japs on the Lanfeng front line, and the officers naturally reported hurriedly.
The soldiers even fired in a panic.
The ensuing battle made the little devil even more frightened, because the Chinese army did not seem to have many people and did not have heavy firepower, but the sparse gunfire caused the imperial soldiers on the position to fall down one after another.
That marksmanship is so accurate!
Seeing that the soldiers had fired two rounds of bullets, Gao Genbao whispered, "Retreat!" The first platoon and the fire support platoon followed the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon and retreated to a distance of about 300 meters before Gao Genbao gave the order
Stop retreating and monitor the enemy's movements on the spot.
It made sense for Gao Genbao to order a retreat, because the Japs had been enraged. The infantry artillery, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns all rang out, covering the place where the platoon had just been hiding. If the platoon did not withdraw,
If so, the casualties would be huge.
The little Japs fought for a while, and when they saw no movement from the Chinese army on the opposite side, they stopped shooting and were busy carrying corpses, rescuing the wounded, and reporting the battle situation to their superiors.
At this time, Gao Genbao waved his hand and led the platoon and the fire support platoon up again. This time, Gao Genbao was not polite and ordered the fire support platoon's heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers to establish positions and target them.
The little devil did it.
The little Japs thought it was a small reconnaissance force of the Chinese army that had been harassed. They had been beaten away and were busy rescuing the wounded and carrying corpses. Little did they expect that the Chinese army had come up again, with heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers.
Along the way, he was knocked down at once. The angry Japanese officer yelled "Baga, Baga" while ordering infantry artillery, grenade launchers and light and heavy machine guns to fire to eliminate the Chinese army's fire position.
Gao Genbao only let the mortars and grenade launchers fire two shells each, and the heavy machine gun fired a belt. Then he ordered the fire support group to move. He led a platoon and each of them fired another shot, and retreated hurriedly.
Now the Japanese army used the moonlight and searchlights to observe clearly that the Chinese army was indeed a small force, and the infantry seemed to be used to protect heavy firepower.
The Japanese, who had observed clearly, immediately dispatched two armored vehicles to cover a squadron of infantry out of their position, and chased this extremely cunning Chinese army.
The second platoon attacked Xiaoding Village and the third platoon attacked Sun Village. The situation was the same as that of the first platoon. They did not have heavy firepower. The moonlight was so good and the little devils’ searchlights were extremely bright. They would naturally find that the Chinese army was just a small army.
A reconnaissance force, and it was an extremely cunning Chinese force. At this time, the little Japs were enraged by the casualties this small force had brought to them. They forgot Juichi Terauchi's combat prohibition and pursued them with murderous intent.
In fact, the number of troops that the Japs caught up with was not many, only three or four hundred. This already made Shen Yong and Liu Kun overjoyed. You have to know how long it has been since the Fifth Regiment regained Luzhong and it has not suffered from Japs.
Meat, are you drinking the blood of Japanese soldiers? The cadres and soldiers were screaming anxiously. Some cadres have even reported to Liu Kun and asked to be transferred to teach the first brigade. If that doesn't work, they can be transferred to the third brigade, the fourth brigade, and the fifth brigade.
Okay, you can't just teach the second brigade and train all the time!
The little devils came up, and the armored vehicle in the lead turned on its headlights brightly, and fired machine guns from time to time.
The twenty-seventh division was originally an independent brigade of the North China Resident Army, with a total of two infantry regiments, and was the culprit behind the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the North China Resident Army's independent brigade was stationed in the Pingjin area. One of the regiments
The infantry regiment was stationed in Fengtai, and a regiment was stationed in Tianjin. The regiment stationed in Tianjin was completely wiped out by the instructors, leaving only the infantry regiment living in Fengtai. However, the Japs strengthened their troops before launching the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, and only this was left.
An infantry regiment also had a large number of troops. The Japanese army added troops from home and expanded them into the 27th Division with a three-unit system, under the jurisdiction of the 27th Infantry Regiment, the 27th Search Regiment, and the Mountain Artillery Division.
The 27th Regiment, the 27th Engineer Regiment, the 27th Transport Regiment, the Communications Corps, the Ordnance Service Corps, the Health Corps, the Sick Horse Factory and the 1st to 4th Field Hospitals, with a total strength of 18,000
More than a thousand people.
Although the 27th Division has more recruits, the junior officers are all originally from the independent brigade of the Tun Army. These guys are a group of war madmen who have never seen the Chinese army. The instructors destroyed the troops stationed in Tianjin.
After the Japanese Infantry Regiment, although the officers of the independent brigade of the Tun Army knew that the Eighth Route Army instructor divisions were powerful in combat, they always believed that the Eighth Route Army adopted sneak attack tactics and that all the Imperial Army soldiers died in their sleep.
, not to mention anything else, just the stabbing skills of the imperial soldiers can drive Tubal Road into chaos.
After transferring to the east of Henan, these Japanese soldiers thought that the Chinese army in front of them was easy to fight. They were not Liu Yimin's instructors, they did not have such strong combat effectiveness, and their tactics were much more rigid. With the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, they could take the initiative to attack and completely defeat the first theater.
Troops. However, General Touichi Terauchi and Lieutenant General Masaharu Homma did not see it that way. They believed that the 27th Division had many recruits and limited combat effectiveness, so it could only take a defensive position in eastern Henan, and they also gave up the hard work of the 14th Division.
Many positions were gained through hard work.
The junior officers of the 27th Division had long been dissatisfied with the decision of the Earl of Temple and the Division Commander, thinking it was a humiliation to them. However, due to military discipline, they had to obey the order. However, due to the successful launch of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident,
The commander of the garrison army, Xiang Yue Qingsi, the chief of staff Hashimoto Gun, the brigade commander Kawabe Shozo, and the first regiment captain Mutaguchi Renya were all promoted one after another. Except for Xiang Yue Qingsi's rank, the others were basically the same.
Majors became lieutenants, lieutenants became colonels, majors became major generals, and major generals became lieutenant generals, which made the officers jealous and eager to get a general's epaulettes as soon as possible. The orders of Juichi Terauchi and Masaharu Honma were undoubtedly
It is blocking the way of promotion and wealth for these fanatical officers. How can they be willing to do so!
The attack by the Fifth Regiment provided these grassroots officers with an excuse to attack and retaliate, and they immediately sent troops to pursue them.
As the guard company and reconnaissance platoon of the Fifth Regiment gradually converged, the chasing Japs gradually gathered together and plunged into the ambush circle of the Fifth Regiment.
Shen Yong's eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, staring excitedly at the rapidly pursuing Japanese.
Seeing that the little Japanese arrived at the Zhang River and entered the ambush circle, Shen Yong waved his hand and gave the order to attack.
The Eighth Route Army opened fire, and a few rockets directly tore up the Japanese armored vehicles. Immediately afterwards, the shells from infantry guns, mortars, and grenade launchers fell on the Japanese pursuit queue, and the light and heavy machine guns fired happily.
The bullets were sprayed like water on the chasing kid.
The Fifth Regiment is the main force, with more than 3,000 people in the group. There are too few Japs. Basically, ten Eighth Route Army soldiers fight one Jaap. Many soldiers don't even have a chance to fire a shot, and the Japs have already been beaten to the ground. Only.
The dozens of Japanese soldiers at the back saw the opportunity early, and seeing that the momentum was not right, they rolled and crawled back, trying to run back to their position to ask for help. Unfortunately, the Eighth Route Army did not give them a chance, and the loud bugles pierced the night sky, and the soldiers
They shouted and rushed forward, chasing the little Japs until they reached the Japanese positions in the three villages of Xiaoding Village, Dashi Village and Sun Village. They killed all the little Japs who escaped and then stopped the attack.
The Japanese commander stationed at Sanyi Village got up when he heard the gunfire, and then received reports from the positions in Xiaoding Village, Dashi Village, and Sun Village, saying that they were being harassed by a small group of Chinese reconnaissance troops. Then they received reports.
There have been reports of attacks from other directions.
The Japanese commander did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly reported to Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma that many positions were attacked and harassed by the Chinese army. He judged that it was a reconnaissance attack before the Chinese army launched a large-scale attack, and asked the division commander to make early preparations.
That night, Masaharu Honma slept with her adjutant in her arms. This adjutant was brought from Japan by Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma. He has long, thin skin and tender flesh. He can also play a good shakuhachi. If he wears makeup, he will be better than
Most women are pretty.
After Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma received the telegram from the North China Front Command to adjust the operational deployment in the evening, he reviewed it from a theoretical perspective and felt that General Terauchi Juichi's deployment was extremely brilliant. He hurriedly sent a report to Terauchi Juichi, saying that he would resolutely implement it.
His Excellency the Commander ordered to ensure the safety of eastern Henan. Then the defense lines of the 38th Division and the 39th Division were adjusted, and the 38th Division was asked to prepare overnight. Early tomorrow morning, in cooperation with the command of His Excellency Jun Tada
The Southern Front Group completely wiped out southwest Shandong and handed over the remaining defense to the 39th Division.
After arranging all this, Lieutenant General Honma Masaharu felt that the burden on his shoulders had increased, and he felt a little complacent. Feeling proud, he called his adjutant, drank two glasses of sake, listened to a shakuhachi, and then took off his clothes.
He put on the adjutant's clothes, hugged him and went to bed and began to taste the flowers in the backyard.
While he was having fun, the phone on the table rang. Lieutenant General Honma Masaharu understood the importance and wanted to get up to answer the phone, but the young adjutant resorted to coquettish tactics and pestered Lieutenant General Honma Masaharu not to leave.
Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma had no choice but to stop answering the phone and crawled on the back of the young adjutant, trembling non-stop.
It wasn't until the staff officer on duty shouted a report outside the door that there was an urgent military situation in the direction of Sanyi Village, and the captain of the third regiment wanted to report directly to the division commander, then Masaharu Honma reluctantly climbed up from the body of the junior adjutant.
After listening to the report of the captain of the third regiment, Masaharu Honma's thoughts of having fun were all gone, and he was busy looking at the map. Unexpectedly, not long after, the captain of the third regiment reported that the Chinese army launched a large-scale attack.
Fierce fighting broke out at every position. Among them, the infantry brigade stationed in Xiaoding Village, Dashi Village, and Sun Village died in more than 400 battles. They requested urgent tactical guidance from the division commander.
Masaharu Honma judged that this must be a small move by Chiang Kai-shek's First Theater Troops. They wanted to use Liu Yimin's instructor to eliminate the Dongfeng of the Imperial Army's 10th Division and pick up some small advantages on the battlefield in eastern Henan. If they succeeded, wouldn't it be a big deal?
Have you failed to live up to your full strategy?
Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma strictly ordered the 3rd Regiment to hold its position and repulse the Chinese army's attack. Feeling uneasy, he ordered the 1st Regiment stationed in Dengfeng to dispatch two brigades to coordinate with the 27th Mountain Artillery Regiment.
The two brigades and the tank squadron rushed to the front line of Sanyi Village to resolutely smash the Chinese army's offensive and stabilize the defense line.
When the Japanese reinforcements arrived at the front line of Sanyi Village, the Third Regiment was exchanging fire with the Chinese army. The Guizishan Artillery Regiment hurriedly set up artillery and soon began the artillery bombardment.
As soon as the Japanese artillery spoke, the firepower of the Chinese army on the opposite side weakened, and slowly there was no sound of gunfire. The captain of the Third Japanese Regiment in charge of frontline command was puzzled and hurriedly sent a cavalry search team to the Chinese army position.
After investigation, we found out that the Chinese army was just retreating and building fortifications near Longwang Station!
The captain of the Third Regiment, who had received reinforcements of troops and firepower, felt that the Chinese army must not be allowed to gain a foothold and must defeat them completely in one go. Otherwise, they are likely to continuously mobilize troops and restart the battle in the Lanfeng area. In that case, it will be
Disrupting the strategic deployment of the front army headquarters.
So, under the cover of tanks and mountain artillery, the little Japanese split their routes and launched an attack in the direction of Longwang Station.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army's plan to lure the Japs had initially taken effect. Xu Shiyou and Chen Shiqu had also met. After discussion, the two decided to retreat quickly and let the Fifth Regiment send a company to lead the Japs by the nose and lead the little Japs all the way.
In front of the national army position. As long as they exchange fire, our army's mission will be completely completed.
This task naturally fell on Gao Gencheng.
Cadres from the old Red Army are best at fighting guerrilla warfare, harassment warfare, and mobile warfare. Gao Gencheng's troops are limited, and it goes without saying that mobile warfare is impossible, but luring the enemy deep is not a problem. He spread the guard company across the entire line and stretched the battle line.
It's long, fight for a while and then leave, regardless of whether the bullets can stop the enemy. Because what is needed now is just the sound of gunfire. The purpose is to hang the enemy from a distance and tease them to attack step by step. This kind of battle is very difficult.
Will fight!
The defense line of the troops in the first theater in the direction of Kaifeng was very close to Longwang Station, and the sound of guns and artillery here had already reached their ears. Gao Gencheng only made two interceptions before leading his troops to escape under the cover of night. Because
The Japanese artillery shells have already landed on the national army's position. If they don't escape, they will become a fish grilled by two lines of fire!
