Liu Yimin said that when large units fight, they must grasp the rhythm.
Liu Yimin said that the most important thing when attacking is stability, accuracy and ruthlessness.
At this moment, Sun Manxi, the leader of the new regiment, and Wang Xinru, the political commissar, were chewing on these words of the teacher.
The New Regiment of the 1st Teaching Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is the first of the eight new infantry regiments with the prefix "Instructor". Although its weapons and equipment are not as good as those of the three main regiments of the 1st Teaching Brigade, it is better than the elite troops of the National Army and other units of the Eighth Route Army.
Come, it is obviously much higher. If they belong to the same brigade as the First Teaching Regiment, Second Teaching Regiment, and Third Teaching Regiment, the morale of the cadres and soldiers will be high. They want to be on par with the First Teaching Regiment, and they will pay close attention to training and study.
This time, when they were responsible for blocking the Eighth Division head-on in the last Battle of Central Shandong, they almost allowed the Japs to break through the defense line. The regiment leader Sun Manxi was injured, which made the whole regiment depressed for a long time. They wanted to give the Japs a cruel blow.
Yes, the name of the new regiment can be defended and attacked.
At this time, Sun Man was delighted to see the Japs pouring into the airport, and his eyes shone with great excitement. He wanted to strike first and defeat the Japs. Otherwise, the Japs from these two brigades would have tanks and armored vehicles.
To assist in the battle, if they really get angry, the pressure on the Second Battalion will be too great.
From the 18th Red Regiment to the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, although this heroic unit has written countless legends, it is mainly due to its superb command, powerful firepower and excellent training.
not much.
During the great victory in Yangping Town, Chen Dayong once led the Third Regiment of the Central Guard Division to block the Ou earthquake department head-on. It was the first time Liu Yimin's troops faced off against the enemy head-on. Next came the great victory in Hanyang Town, when Zhou Yi led the newly formed Red Thirty
The 9th Regiment blocked Hu Zongnan's 1st Brigade from breaking through. Although it blocked the enemy's offensive with reinforcements, the 39th Red Regiment was also crippled. Then Sun Manxi led a new regiment to directly block the 1st Brigade under the command of Chief of Staff Zeng Zhongsheng.
The Eighth Division attacked. The Eighth Route Army deployed in advance in this battle, and the new regiment's equipment was very sophisticated. As a result, Sun Manxi was injured. In the end, during the bloody battle in Zhoucun, Cao Jin and Wu Jiasheng commanded the 21st Regiment to rely on Zhoucun's city defense.
Resisting the attack of the Fifth Division, although in the end they killed a large number of enemies and successfully broke through, they also used poison gas bombs to kill the Artillery Regiment of the Fifth Division and a regiment of the Guards Brigade, but the casualties of the 21st Regiment were still high.
It was so big that Liu Yimin directly named the 21st Teaching Regiment the "Zhoucun Heroes Group" and appointed Cao Jin, the leader of the 21st Teaching Regiment, as the deputy commander of the 7th Teaching Brigade.
Sun Manxi knew that when fighting this little Japs, they couldn't let them form battle formations and attack step by step. As long as they formed combat formations and coordinated their firepower, the Japs' comprehensive advantages would be brought out. By then, they would have the same bullets and the same level of training.
Well, the Eighth Route Army can kill the Japanese, and the Japanese can also kill the Eighth Route Army. Especially the machine gunners and grenade launchers of the Japanese are very accurate, but they are difficult to deal with.
Sun Manxi originally wanted to ask the artillery group to fire, but considering that there were still two brigades of Japs who had not arrived at the battlefield, the artillery group might scare them away. Cars and rubber-tired carts moved very quickly.
Once the little devils are allowed to occupy a village and town that is easy to defend, then it will cost a lot to eliminate them.
Sun Manxi thought about it and decided that he must kill the Japanese before he could react. Moreover, this had the advantage of paralyzing the Japanese and making them think that there was no large-scale artillery force of the Eighth Route Army here.
Sun Manxi ordered the regiment's fire support battalion to immediately fire artillery to bombard the Japanese troops on the airport.
The fire support battalion of the new regiment has three companies, one heavy machine gun company and two infantry artillery companies. After receiving the order to fire, the soldiers of the two infantry artillery companies quickly removed their camouflage, and all eighteen infantry cannons were raised.
He picked up the muzzle and pointed at the airport.
The Japanese infantry artillery is very good. The total height is only 62 centimeters. If the protective shield is removed, it is only 50 centimeters. It is similar to a heavy machine gun and is very easy to conceal.
The fire support battalion of the New Regiment opened fire, and the eighteen cannons roared. Eighteen shells passed by the position of the New Second Battalion, arced in the sky, and hit the Japanese on the airport.
When Major General Tommidi on the fourth floor came to the intact corpses of Japanese soldiers in the middle of the airport, his nose twitched involuntarily and he frowned.
He actually did not know the staff officers and guards at the Twelfth Army Headquarters, and could only judge each person's military rank from the badges that had not been torn off by the Eighth Route Army.
In fact, it is easy to identify. The corpses are all in Army uniforms, and the badges and epaulettes are intact. The other corpses at the airport are all in aviation uniforms. You can immediately identify who is the entourage of Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo and who is the aviation unit.
Killed personnel.
After counting, there were two major staff officers, two privates, one lieutenant, and two pilots, a total of seven relatively complete bodies. There was no Commander Odaka Kamezo, indicating that he was indeed captured by Tubal Road.
He bent down and carefully examined the corpses one by one, and found that they were all dead from gunshot wounds, indicating that those who attacked them were definitely small units of the Eighth Route Army, all with light weapons. He straightened up and looked at the blood-stained bird carcasses all over the ground at the airport.
Along with a small number of Japanese aircraft wreckage and aviation corpses mixed in during the period, Maj. Gen. Ma Midi on the fourth floor immediately understood that the Eighth Route Army's report of the Eighth Route Army using a flock of birds to defeat the Imperial Army's fighter planes reported by Colonel Kudo Jintaka was not a legend or a fiction. It was absolute.
The facts and the results were completely placed in front of him.
The major general on the fourth floor of Tomamichi no longer sighed, and ordered the chief of staff in a deep voice: "Send a report to the chief of staff of the 12th Army Kobayashi Asasaburo and the commander of the Shimomoto Kumaya Division. First, our unit has occupied the airport and found Otaka Kame Hidden.
The five remains of the commander's entourage and the remains of the captain and navigator of the special plane were not found. The whereabouts of Commander Otaka Kamezo himself was not found. It was judged that he might have been hijacked by Tubal Road. Second, the airport was full of dead birds and aviation personnel.
and a small amount of aircraft wreckage, proving that Tubalu successfully attacked the Imperial Army aircraft fleet with a flock of birds. Please report to all flying squadrons to beware of Tubalu's tricks. Third, our department will launch a large-scale search operation, and we must catch up with Tubalu who hijacked the Commander.
Rescue the Commander."
After issuing the order and sending the order, the major general on the fourth floor of Tamami felt that something was wrong. He glanced at the officers around him and then remembered that Colonel Kudo Jintaka, the captain of the 105th Regiment stationed in Fangzi, was not here.
.He reported that he had started attacking the airport, but why was he not seen? Could it be that he was also captured by Tubal Road?
After thinking about it, I thought it was impossible. When he was at Daweihe Station, Colonel Kudo Jintaka sent him a message urging reinforcements. It had only been an hour. Judging from the degree of coagulation of the blood on the corpses at the airport, Tubal Road had already been withdrawn. He didn't
He might be captured. Could it be that he was worried that his troops were too few and didn't dare to attack the airport? What a coward!
The Twenty Mile Fort is right next to Fangzi, and the Fangzi defenders should be able to see the movement at the airport. It seems like they have to send messengers to bring that guy Kudo Jintaka to him.
Just as he was about to order a messenger to be sent to inform Colonel Kudo Jintaka, a voice that he was very familiar with but never wanted to hear came to his ears. He looked up and said, Oh my god, what is that?
The fourth-floor Major General of Tommidi is a veteran soldier. He is extremely familiar with the Type 92 Infantry Cannon manufactured by the Empire of Japan. When he heard the whistling sound of the shells about to hit the ground, he immediately identified it as the Type 92 Infantry Cannon.
As he was shelling himself, he jumped forward and crawled to the ground, not forgetting to shout loudly: "Artillery attack, lie down!"
The reaction of the major general on the fourth floor of Tommidi was very quick, but no matter how quick it was, the artillery shells, a group of eighteen artillery shells fell in the middle of the airport. After the explosion, there were puffs of dust and smoke, covering the limbs and wails of the Japanese soldiers.
The soldiers of the 08th Division are all well-trained veterans, and the officers are veterans among veterans. They have very rich combat experience. After entering the airport, they did not just stand in a group waiting to be bombarded, but
They were dispersed, vigilant, and searching. Therefore, although the fire support battalion of the New Regiment fired a salvo accurately and hard, and the results were not small, after all, it only had 18 rounds of artillery shells, covering a wide range.
Limited, and the Type 92 infantry gun has limited power and relies mainly on shrapnel to kill the enemy. Most of the little devils were not bombarded. Some even crawled on the ground and looked up at the arc drawn by the shells in the sky.
I don't know what it feels like.
If it were a heavy artillery, it would be very powerful. Once fired, it would create a large crater several meters square, shocking the surrounding soldiers until they bled to death.
However, although the power of the Type 92 infantry artillery is limited, the little devil is on an empty airport without any cover, let alone solid fortifications, and has no way to escape. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army artillery fired a salvo immediately after
It was just a five-shot volley, which quickly blew up the little devil and made him cry for his father and mother.
At this time, the fourth-floor Major General of Hemidi who was crawling on the ground calmed down. He had so much combat experience. He soon heard that the Eighth Route Army only had eighteen infantry artillery pieces and no mountain artillery or field artillery. This showed that the Tubal Army troops who launched the artillery bombardment were powerful.
Limited, at most six or two regiments, definitely not Liu Yimin's main force. If his entire main force was here, it would definitely be several artillery regiment-sized artillery groups. After a single shelling, his own
The two brigades disappeared into thin air.
The fourth-floor Major General of Tamamidi, who had stabilized his mind, was not afraid of the revolt, thinking that he had finally caught the tail of Tubal Road and found the direction of attack. As long as he defeated this group of Eighth Route Army, he would probably be able to complete the task of rescuing Commander Ougao Kamezo.
After careful consideration, the fourth-floor Major General of Tommidi crawled on the ground to avoid the artillery shells but did not forget to perform his duties. He kept ordering the artillery brigade to open fire and destroy the Tubal Road artillery position; he ordered the infantry in the airport to retreat backward and out of the attack range of the Tubal Road artillery.
, preparing to launch an attack under cover of artillery fire.
After issuing the order, Major General Tamamidi remembered that the field artillery brigade under his command had not arrived yet. They were all pulled by pack horses, and their marching speed was much slower than that of cars.
With no other option available for the time being, Major General Tammidi on the fourth floor chose to exit the airport and leave the Eighth Route Army's shelling range.
As soon as the Japanese troops withdrew, the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire became more intense, chasing the Japanese's butts like they had eyes, beating them until the little Japanese only hated their parents for having two legs, and crawled and rolled back.
After withdrawing from the airport, the Eighth Route Army's artillery also stopped shelling. As soon as the major general on the fourth floor of Tammidi counted the troops, he discovered that more than 400 people had been killed or injured in a short time. Some of the wounded soldiers who were seriously injured and could not get out of the airport simply left themselves.
It's over.
The fourth-floor major general of Tammidi now has the desire to eat people. He can't wait to set up the cannon immediately, immediately bombard the Tubal Road position, attack forward with all his strength, and make everyone on Tubal Road die.
Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long. Colonel Nakamura Kiyokoro, commander of the 52nd Regiment, came up with the two infantry brigades and the field artillery battalion as reinforcements. Now Major General Tomomichi 4th Floor had the confidence to immediately help Kobayashi Asasaburo
He Xia Yuan Xiong Mi sent a report, saying that the main force of the 104th Brigade was in place and was about to launch an attack. The Tubal Road blocking the opposite side did not have mountain artillery or field artillery, only infantry artillery. It was judged that it was one or two regiments of Liu Yimin's instructor.
The 104th Brigade is confident of defeating the enemy in front of them, and urges the roundabout troops led by the division commander to launch an attack quickly, encircle Tubal Road, and annihilate them all in one fell swoop.
After sending the telegram, Major General Mamidi on the fourth floor ordered the troops to rest for 15 minutes, eat some dry food, and replenish their strength. The field artillery brigade set up a position and prepared to destroy the Tubal Road artillery position. Then two teams were sent, each equipped with an armored vehicle to provide fire cover.
Search and investigate both wings of the airport.
The call back from Major General Asaburo Kobayashi, Chief of Staff of the Twelfth Army, did not include even a word of praise. He just urged Major General Tomidi on the fourth floor to launch an attack quickly. At the same time, he told him that due to the total losses of the flying teams at several major airports in Shandong, he had been sent to
Lieutenant General Toshi Kinoshita, commander of the North China Front Army Aviation Group, asked for help. It is expected that aviation troops will arrive on the battlefield in two hours to provide support.
Major General Asaburo Kobayashi told Major General Tomamichi No. 4 to attack with confidence. The 25th Brigade was advancing towards Fangzi, and the 33rd Division was also speeding up its march. It won't be long before both reinforcements can arrive on the battlefield to support the army.
0The fourth division fought.
Lieutenant General Xia Yuan Xiong Mi called back and said that he had led a roundabout force composed of troops directly under the division to cut off the retreat route of Tubal Road and was preparing to set up an ambush circle in the south. When the 104th Brigade defeated Tubal Road, they would definitely go to Tubal Road.
They retreated from the southwest mountainous area and fell into an ambush circle. This time, not only did they have to rescue Commander Odaka Kamezo, but they also had to annihilate Liu Yimin's troops who attacked the airport, setting a record for the Imperial Army's total annihilation of Liu Yimin's troops since the beginning of the war.
The two telegrams were like pumps to pump up the ball. They immediately made Major General Tamedi's heart burn with excitement.
The hot air balloon used by the field artillery brigade to observe local positions has been raised, and the cannons have been fixed. Please ask for permission to fire.
This Major General of the fourth floor of Himidi is worthy of being an old devil. He does have a good way of commanding operations. No matter how anxious he is, the necessary search reports will still have to wait. It was not until he saw that the search teams on both wings kept sending back safety flags that the Major General of the fourth floor of Himidi
I called Colonel Kiyoko Nakamura and the four captains of the 52nd Regiment, and said with a sullen face: "Gentlemen, just a few hours ago, His Excellency Odaka Kamezo Chu, Commander-in-Chief of the Twelfth Army of the Japanese Army, came here
Weicheng commanded the operation. After the special plane landed at Ershilibao Airport in front of Zhujun, it was attacked by Tubal Road. According to the situation reported by the Twelfth Army Headquarters and the Division Headquarters, the Chinese government has announced to the world that Wei Gao
Your Excellency, Commander Kamezo, has fallen into the hands of Tubal Road. The rampant China government even announced that it would hold a public trial for Commander Otaka Kamezo and invited other countries to observe. There is a saying in China, which is tolerable, you gentlemen
, can we watch the dignified Imperial Lieutenant General and our direct commander being insulted by the Chinese?"
Several old devils made a lot of noise.
The fourth-floor major general of Tommidi then made a specific deployment, which was to leave a squadron to protect the artillery position. After the twelve cannons of the field artillery brigade fired, a squadron under the cover of three tanks quickly attacked in the direction of Tianjia Xiaozhuang east of the airport. Nakamura
Colonel Kiyoko commanded a brigade to follow up, and he led the rest of the troops to follow Nakamura's troops. This formed a three-wave offensive, just like the three waves that hit the coast when the sea is at high tide. Each wave is stronger than the last, completely
Submerged Tubal Road on the opposite side.
The old devil on the fourth floor of the field could not have imagined that in his hurry, there was someone more anxious than him. Before his triple wave could rush forward, the God of Death would arrive.
Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin did not expect that the new regiment would bombard the Japs, and were afraid that Sun Manxi's violent beating would scare the Japs away.
Chief of Staff Zhou Yi said regretfully: "If I had known this, I might as well have ordered the artillery group to fire. After all, it would be two brigades of Japanese soldiers, at least two thousand people!"
Several people were in a hurry. Li Chang, commander of the artillery headquarters and commander of the artillery brigade, called and said, "Commander Gao Da, what did you do? You can't trust me, old Li, do you? You just hit me, and you just squeaked."
The artillery soldiers almost fell asleep waiting for the order!"
Gao Yuan said bitterly on the microphone: "This Sun Manxi and Wang Xinru may have remembered the past of the Daxu River Blockade, and were afraid that the New Second Battalion would not be able to stop the Japanese offensive, so they struck first. His fight is also beneficial.
It’s easy for the little devil to misjudge the situation and think that our army is a regiment-level force. Just wait, I believe the little devil will not stop here."
Cheng Cuilin said with a smile: "Weren't you still worried that the little Japanese would escape just now? Why did your tone of voice change when you talked to Li Chang?"
Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Is that just a worry? Don't worry, the little Japs won't run away. They will definitely see Ougao Kamezo alive or dead, and they won't leave Ogao Kamezo. They won't
Withdrawing troops."
As soon as he finished speaking, the observation post reported that the Japanese reinforcements were coming, including cars, rubber-tired carts, and cannons pulled by packhorses, and they were assembled about 500 meters away from the airport gate.
As soon as Gao Yuan heard this, he knew that the time was ripe. Just as he was about to pick up the phone to report to Liu Yimin and request an attack, the phone rang again.
Gao Yuan picked up the phone, and Liu Yimin's voice came over: "Gao Yuan, listen to me, the two reinforcement brigades of the 52nd Infantry Regiment have arrived and will launch an attack immediately. I order you to launch an attack immediately, using
The artillery group completely defeated and crippled the Japs, quickly ended the battle, and prepared to fight and chase down the 33rd Division. I was worried that over time, the Japs would get wind of it and the 33rd Division would stop advancing westward.
Run away.”
Gao Yuan immediately stood at attention with a snap: "Commander, please rest assured, we will launch an attack immediately and end the battle quickly!"
Putting down the phone, Gao Yuan immediately called Li Chang: "Commander Li, I am conveying the division commander's order to you to launch an attack immediately. I will give you three minutes to prepare. After three minutes, I fired the signal flare and the artillery group began to attack. Five minutes
Afterwards, all the troops launched an attack and completely wiped out the Japanese 104th Brigade."
Li Chang jumped up and down on the phone: "It won't take five minutes. Just shoot the little devil. I'll give him a salvo of five or ten at most and the problem will be solved. As soon as the cannon fires, you order the entire line."
attack!"
After putting down the phone, Gao Yuan, Cheng Cunlin, and Zhou Yi all looked at their watches in unison. Outside the door, the communicator responsible for setting off the signal bomb was already on standby with a gun.
After the hands on the watch had passed three minutes while several people were waiting anxiously, Gao Yuan yelled: "Set a flare!"
Three red flares soared into the sky.
The ground began to tremble. Three artillery groups consisting of the 1st Artillery Brigade Field Artillery Regiment, the 2nd Field Artillery Regiment, the Mountain Artillery Regiment, the Medium Mortar Regiment, the 1st Teaching Brigade Artillery Regiment, and the Cavalry Brigade Artillery Regiment roared. From the east,
From the south and north, artillery fire was carried out to cover the gathering place of the Japs.
Cheng Cuilin looked at the swarms of artillery shells flying in the sky, his eyes a little moist, and said to himself: "Back then, there was a fierce battle on the Xiangjiang River. If our army had such firepower, not so many comrades would have died."
Gao Yuan had already adapted to the instructor's firepower superiority. He simply ignored the political commissar's lament and ordered all units to attack across the board.
Suddenly, just outside the east gate of Fangzi Town, where the 1st Teaching Brigade Headquarters is located, more than thirty neatly organized Eighth Route Army buglers blew the charge horn amidst the rumble of artillery. The loud sound of the bugle pierced the
The clouds aroused the hidden Eighth Route Army athletes around Shilibao, and they rushed towards Shilibao Airport following the rhythm of the Charge.
The fourth-floor major general of Tammidi had just finished his deployment and was about to order the field artillery brigade to fire when he heard several sharp sounds in the air. When he looked up, he saw three red flares. The fourth-floor major general of Tammidi was shocked, knowing that this was a large force.
A signal to launch an attack. He hurriedly ordered the troops to disperse on the spot.
Unfortunately, his order could not be carried out. Groups of artillery shells flew from three directions and hit his 104th Brigade assembly area hard. These were field artillery shells and mountain artillery shells, which were much better than the Type 92 just now.
The shells of the infantry artillery were much more powerful, and there were so many shells covering the sky. Judging from the posture, there were at least 200 cannons firing.
The heart of the major general on the fourth floor of Tammidi sank further, sinking bit by bit, until he sank into the ice cellar. He even forgot to lie down and hide. Until a piece of shrapnel was inserted into his heart, he was still mumbling to himself.
: "Amaterasu, why am I so stupid? I should have thought that this was a huge trap. I should have thought that Kudo Jintaka's telegram was fake, and Shimomoto Kumaya's statement about going around behind Tubal Road to cut off their retreat was also fake.
Yes, if he could go back behind Tubal Road, he should have launched a direct attack long ago. Why bother with so much trouble! I'm so stupid. At the very least, I should have waited until the 25th Brigade arrived and launched an attack together. Amaterasu
Ah, how stupid I am!"
In fact, the fourth-floor Major General of Tammidi does not need to blame himself so much. The 25th Brigade is not much better than him at this time, and they are also struggling in purgatory!
