Chapter 107 Sadness and Tears
The right wing of the position along the side ridge of Majiagou is now filled with rolling gunpowder smoke at this moment. More than twenty large pits directly nearly five meters are almost connected to a line. The corpses and rocks that were destroyed by violent explosions are constantly falling within a few kilometers. Under the light of the tragic failure of the illumination bomb, the right wing position is as silent as death.
Many Chinese soldiers in the front line of the army's front-line positions have shed blood in their ears at this moment, and some people are even confused and confused. The second and third-line positions are better. Zhao Xinyu in the former enemy command post was also blown up hundreds of meters away along the observation mouth and overturned to the ground.
The log of the observation mouth was cracked and collapsed by the flying iron ball. The scattered logs knocked down the artillery mirrors to the ground, and the chaos in the headquarters became a piece
Is this the power of the mine explosion? Zhao Xinyu shuddered a little, and a lingering combat staff officer beside him sighed, "Tuanzuo! This thing blows up those tens of thousands of tons of warships. Can it not be very powerful? What's more, we have added so many explosives and iron balls at each blasting point!"
With the smoke dissipated, the Japanese army in the left-wing position suffered heavy casualties under the fierce fire shooting of the defenders. The violent explosion also affected the Japanese army in the left-wing position. If it was hit by a splashing iron ball, it was almost like amputation. The two infantry squadrons of the Japanese army attacking on the left wing disappeared in the smoke. The silent and strange right-wing position made the two infantry brigades of the 10th Division, which were responsible for the main attack, quickly withdraw.
Banben Zhengyouweimen, the commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, is standing in front of the artillery mirror at this moment, staring at the position where the violent explosion has just occurred through the pale light of the illumination. All the two brigades of the 13th Infantry Regiment belonging to the 11th Brigade were shrouded in, as the offensive battle of Banbenzheng Right. As soon as the Sixth Division of Weimen took action, it used its main infantry Eleventh Brigade, while Matsuda Guosan, the brigade commander of the 11th Brigade, put two infantry brigades of the 13th Infantry Regiment, the most elite under it as the main attack force.
After the smoke dissipated, the subsequent Japanese attack troops walked on the potholed ground with one foot high and one foot low. From time to time, someone fell down and fell with a sticky face?
With the illumination bomb in the air, the officers and soldiers of the second echelon of the Japanese army were stunned and even trembled. More than 2,100 officers and soldiers of the whole two strengthened brigades have turned into bloody corpses at this moment. To be precise, they are corpses, broken weapons, internal organs, pulled out intestines, and broken limbs and broken arms. ** The scorched black corpse was smoky, and the broken head flowed out of the blood-scorching brain, which was soon frozen in the cold.
The attacking Japanese army began to move forward in fear at the urging of the officers. The huge explosion in the direction of Majiagou also made Xiyi, who commanded the attack on Monk Guanfeng, look sideways.
When he learned the teacher's phone number, Zhao Xinyu hurried back, picked up the phone and said, "Hey! Is it the teacher's seat? I'm Zhao Xinyu! I originally had a big dinner for Xiao Yu, and twenty-eight big explosions made twenty-six! The little one should cover at least three or four thousand people at once!"
After waiting for a long time, Zhang Xuewu heard Zhao Xinyu's report, and then put his heart back into his stomach. Zhang Xuewu did not care about where Zhao Xinyu came from and the way of blasting operations. What he was concerned about was who was bombed. Now that he has figured it out, he was relieved. Zhang Xuewu was very clear about the side of Majiagou. Calculated from the capacity of the front position, it can spread the strength of the two strengthening brigades of the Japanese army at a time. Zhao Xinyu bombed the right wing position of the sixth division of the Japanese army. So with the habit of attacking and deploying troops of the Japanese army and the calculation of the depth distance, it should be able to reimburse the strength of a team of the Japanese army, but Zhang Xuewu did not break it. At this moment The war is approaching, and morale should not be vented.
However, Zhang Xuewu did not know that Zhao Xinyu also added a lot of small iron balls. These small iron balls shot by the explosion shock wave are like the principle of steel ball grenades. The biggest killing to the Japanese army is not the explosion itself and the shock wave, but these small iron balls, the most Later, Zhang Xuewu reminded Zhao Xinyu to make another big move next time and report to the division in advance. The division was different from Peiping, and there was no spy.
The Japanese army in the front-line position on the side of Majiagou did not organize a new round of attack until half an hour after it was bombed. Compared with the head-on blow suffered by the Sixth Division, Hirose Shousuke, as a friendly army, did not see any sadness on his face. Instead, he claimed that he drank a glass of soju to warm up in cold weather.
In fact, Hirose Shousuke's heart can't be expressed in words. Before, he was arrogant in front of him like his boss, but he also tasted the power of [***]? The so-called elite Kumamoto Division didn't even find anything buried in front of its position? At least two or three brigades were taken by someone. Although he also lost two squadrons, compared with the loss of the Sixth Division, the loss of the 10th Division was simply insignificant. At the same time, Hirose Shousuke was also glad that he did not secretly bury explosives before his position, but let Hirose Shousuke What is confusing is what has so much power and lethality? This is really pu'sprehensible.
This huge explosion made the morale of the Japanese army lose its edge and lost the opportunity to attack. The side ridge of Majiagou was under the fierce attack of the Japanese army. The 14th Division of the Japanese army in the direction of the tiger ditch can be said to have a great loss of vitality, but seven reinforced infantry brigades have been dispatched to take turns to contain the attack, and the tiger ditch has become the 14th division. The sad ditch and the tearful ridge.
The 14th Division of the Japanese Army has left a total of 5,600 corpses along the tiger ditch. Among them, more than 3,000 people were killed in the attack on the Chinese garrison's position. More than 2,000 people were killed in the [***] counterattack before the battle, plus more than 400 people who were killed in the previous attack on the monk's crown peak in the previous strategy, because of the air attack, because More than 1,000 non-combat troops generated by the cold naturally reduced the number of people. Counting more than 3,000 minor and seriously injured soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the 14th Division was sharply reduced, and the combat soldiers of the whole division were less than 10,000!
So when attacking the tiger ditch to contain it, Matsuki Zhiliang seemed to be very conservative. After all, he was the protagonists of the Eighth Division and the 6th Division. Even if Chengde was captured, there was nothing wrong with Matsuki Zhiliang. Moreover, Matsuki Zhiliang was as resent as Hirose Shousuke. They have attacked several times in a row. There were heavy casualties, but the Chinese defenders defending Chengde were not heavy casualties. The 6th and 8th divisions are assigned to the heavy artillery brigades and chariot troops to bear the main attack as soon as they come up? This is clearly the protection and bias of the headquarters.
If the 6th Division and the 8th Division really hit Chengde, Songmu Zhiliang estimated that his career, which was recognized as incompetent by the Army Province, would be the end. Maintaining strength and letting the 8th Division hit the wall, the troops with huge losses in the end could only do it calmly and share the credit of occupying Chengde. After all, Chengde is an important gateway for Rehe to contact Pingjin! The capture of Chengde means the end of the first stage of the Battle of Rehe. In this cold ice and snow, it seems that it is time to have a good rest!
