Chapter 159 Return to Report
The wheeled wild guns are large, heavy and cannot be disassembled, and are not suitable for mountain warfare. When the artillery team went up the mountain, the artillery spent a whole day to carry these five wild cannons up the mountain. Fortunately, the time is calm. If you meet the enemy in a hurry, it is impossible to carry the wild cannon up the mountain in a short time.
However, after such a great effort, these wild cannons didn't speak until this time!
Zhang Xun stared at the Japanese artillery position at the foot of the mountain with hatred. The Japanese were too domineering. Their artillery position was completely exposed to the enemy's eyes. They did not pay attention to Zhang Jun at all.
7.5cm wild artillery shell, although it came late, once it hit the Japanese mountain artillery position, it was enough for Japan to drink a pot.
However, to Zhang Xun's surprise, the Japanese artillery position was calm.
The shell of the wild cannon landed at the foot of the mountain in the southwest, where there was no battle at all!
"Luo Mingfang, fuck your eight generations of ancestors!" Zhang Xun cursed.
Just as Zhang Xun cursed Luo Mingfang, at the foot of the peak mountain, in the southwest direction, Colonel Aoki Yuan, the commander of the brigade, looked at the arc drawn by the wild cannon shells in the sky and made an angry curse: "Eight grids!"
Aokigen felt that he had been fooled! Shame and despair surged into his mind at the same time, which made him furious.
According to Aokiyuan's expectation, the defenders on the peak of the fetus are a partial division used by Zhou Charter to contain the river crossing troops. Zhou Charter's plan should be to use this partial division to delay the main force of the mixed brigade, so as to reduce the pressure of the river defense force.
Aokiyuan did the opposite, leaving the second regiment to besiege the peak of the tire, and personally led the elite and first regiment of the mixed brigade to the Qiaochuan River.
The second team has only 2,000 troops, which is weaker than the first team.
However, the combat effectiveness of the second Wing is still much higher than that of the defenders on the peak of the fetus.
The first team is the former Aoki team, and the former team leader is Aoki Gen himself.
The first regiment is the elite of the mixed brigade, consisting of three brigades, with a total strength of 3,500 people. Today, due to combat and injuries and illness, the total strength of the regiment is still 2,600. In addition, for the needs of the river crossing, it is also equipped with two mountain artillery squadrons and a boat bridge detachment.
Aokiyuan's combat goal is not the tire peak or the Qiaochuan River, but the Yalu River! The Zhouqiao troops are not prepared for the Qiaochuan River, but for the Yalu River!
As for the second team, its task is not to conquer the fetal peak, but to besiege the fetal peak. He forced the soldiers to draw a prison, unable to play a role in the river crossing troops led by him.
Aokiyuan believes that once his troops break through the bridge and Sichuan River defense line, the lonely army on the tire peak will surrender without fighting.
However, Aokigen still ordered the Second Wing to launch a resolute and fierce attack on the tire peak!
There are two purposes for this.
First, Zhou Charter tried to attract the main force of the Japanese army with a partial division. Aokiyuan made a plan to lure the defenders of the Qiaochuan River to believe that the main force of the Japanese army was stagnant under the peak of the fetus, and it was a partial division that attacked the Qiaochuan River.
Second, and most importantly, Aokiyuan should find out where the artillery position of the defenders on the peak of the tire is and whether it poses a threat to the official road.
Days of rain have turned North Korea into a big mud pit. Except for official Tao, there is almost no way. The first Wing carried huge boat bridges, which could only be transported along the official road and left the official road, which was difficult to walk.
And the official road leading to Yizhou passes through the foot of the mountain southwest of the tire peak. If the Qing army's artillery positions are properly arranged, the road can be blocked with artillery fire.
If this is the case, Aokiyuan will have to change his combat plan, leaving the elite first division to conquer the peak of the fetus and hand over the task of forcibly crossing the bridge and river to the second regiment. In this way, the strength of the enemy and us in the attack and defense of the Qiaochuan River is 2-1, and Zhouqiao is blocked under the peak of the tire, and the second squad can only cross.
Before the war, the reconnaissance troops conducted an all-round investigation of Taili Peak. From below Donglin Waterfall, no trace of Qing army artillery positions were found in all places where artillery positions could be set up. There is no dead corner under Donglin Waterfall, and there should be no cannon in that area.
If the Qing army had artillery, it should have set the artillery position above Donglin Waterfall. However, through telescope observation, no traces of artillery were found in the area above Donglin Waterfall.
Of course, visual observation is not reliable, and what is reliable is seeing is believing!
The enemy will not take the initiative to expose it, then force the enemy to expose it!
Aokigen ordered that the first team was ready to go, and the second team launched a resolute and fierce siege to the peak of the tire from three directions.
There is no tack, and the attack in every direction is the main attack!
The Japanese mountain cannons flared their power and shelled at the highlands of the defenders. The infantry rushed to the highlands in front of them at all costs.
The fierce battle lasted from morning to afternoon, and many highlands competed repeatedly and changed hands several times.
However, the roar of the garrison cannons was never heard.
It is the common sense of tactics to delay the enemy's attack with artillery. The defenders violated this common sense. There was only one explanation. They didn't have cannons at all.
Aokiyuan was still worried. He ordered the mountain artillery position of the Second Brigade to withdraw its camouflage and expose it to the enemy.
The Qing army was equipped with wild artillery. Even if their artillery positions were set above Donglin Waterfall, they could completely cover the Japanese artillery positions at the foot of the mountain. Destroying the enemy's artillery as much as possible is also a tactical common sense, and it is the most important common sense!
However, the defenders still did not fire.
Aokiyuan has no doubt that there is no cannon on the peak of the tire. Whether it is mountain cannon or wild cannon, the Qing army has nothing!
At 3 p.m., under the order of Aokiyuan, the first squad, which was already ready to go, dragged the heavy boat bridge and cannon, and headed north along the official road under the peak of the tire.
However, when the brigade of the First Wing crowded and trekked to the southwest on the muddy official road, Aokiyuan heard the unique and sharp roar of the shells fired by the 7.5cm Krper wild cannon!
The first shell seemed to have long eyes and fell into the Zhouqiao troops.
The two boat bridges were blown into twists, and the huge bridge was thrown into the air and smashed down heavily. More than 20 soldiers, soldiers, soldiers and mules and horses could not dodge, and their plasma was splashed.
Then, a series of shells fell into the march of the First Wing.
The official road is not only muddy and difficult to walk, but also extremely narrow. Thousands of officers and soldiers are crowded on the road, with great density. Every shell falls, people turn over and fly flesh and blood.
The officers and soldiers struggled to hide on both sides of the official road, but their feet were stuck in the mud and could not be pulled out. The Japanese soldiers who were sensitive were dragged by the mudflats of North Korea.
Death has become the subject of that official Tao!
Aokiyuan was dragged off the horse by the guards. As soon as he ran under a mountain stone, a shell fell on the side of the war horse. His jujube-red war horse, the shrapnel cut off the horse's head, and blood sprayed from the horse's neck.
The mud-yellow road was stained red by blood.
Aoki Yuan stared at the official road in the explosion, and Hu Feiling appeared in his mind. There, the shells of the mixed brigade mercilessly landed on the heads of the North Korean civilians, and the green cliffs were stained red by the blood of the Dongxue believers.
He seemed to hear the mutter of the commander of the Oshima Yichang Brigade: "It turns out that blood can also paint!"
At the peak of the fetus, what is used to paint is the blood of Japanese soldiers!
One report, one report!
