Chapter 75 Chengde Protruding Part 2
Zhang Xuewu, standing under the mirror of the artillery, looked at the Japanese soldiers who were struggling to dig individual bunkers and felt a little funny. Can a short engineer spade dig hard rock-like frozen soil? It's just a white dot. The fortifications on the side ridge of Majiagou have used tens of thousands of migrant workers, and it took more than ten days to complete the three defense lines, so that the last defense line has only been completed half so far. The Japanese soldiers want to dig a single bunker with an engineer's shovel, and then connect the bunker into a conversation. I'm afraid that the plan to extend the trench to become the starting position of the attack can only be an extravagant hope, and there is no doubt that my name is good at whimsicalness!
The distance of 300 meters is the best effective range of Maxin's heavy machine gun, but in order to save ammunition, Zhao Xinyu only selected a group of veterans with excellent shooting techniques to kill the Japanese soldiers with cold guns.
With each other's ups and downs of cold guns, Japanese soldiers lying on the ground were hit from time to time. In the severe cold of more than 30 degrees below zero, the blood flowing out will soon take away the heat of the body. The struggle and screams finally groaned helplessly. These Japanese soldiers who were still burning and looting around a few days ago began to know. What is fear!
When they ** women and kill them, they are just to cover up their crimes. In order to get women to vent their long-accumulated animal desire, they often surround the whole village in the name of helping the anti-Manchu army. Especially in the cold weather, many people are frostbitten. I don't know when it became popular in the army. The secret recipe for breast milk and stir-frying people's hearts and human liver anti-freezing is only quietly tried by some people at the beginning.
With the collapse of the anti-Manchu army in Rehe, the arrogant officers and soldiers lost their final control. Before attacking Rehe, the Kwantung Army Command issued a relevant guidance document, requiring the troops to eliminate the adverse factors that will affect public security in the future after the battle. This disadvantage refers to those with a middle school degree or above. Chinese people, in order to cooperate with the foolish people's policy of Manchuria, the Kwantung Army has long felt the great threat brought by the recovery of Chinese national consciousness. In order to minimize this threat, it is imperative to take the opportunity of the war to carry out a thorough clean-up of the Rehe. Therefore, the heart of female students has become the only supply for a while. The tight supplies enjoyed by the officers.
Now these two-legged beasts finally realized what fear is. They almost inserted their heads into the pit, put their bodies to the ground, and turned a deaf ear to the screams of their comrades-in-arms, because the Japanese army found that they often had to take a few more lives to save a wounded man.
Enbe and Ichiro looked at their soldiers being slaughtered by the other party with no expression on their faces. In the whole process, Enbe and Ichiro did not say anything except sending more troops. As members of the House of the House of Lords with the title of Baron, Major Generals of Yuanbu and Ichiro, the humble soldiers, like ammunition and supplies, are consumables. What a qualified commander can do is to calmly face the casualty figures of his subordinates. What Yuanbu and Ichiro worship is Nogi Hinori, a general who can exert the soul of the Yamato army to the limit!
Dae Nao, who stood behind Yuanbu and Ichiro, hesitated for a long time and whispered, "Your Excellency, I think it is necessary to send Onojun's tank brigade and cover the excavation operations of the 16th Infantry Wing with artillery fire."
Yuanbe and Ichiro frowned unhappily and said, "I don't think it's a waste at all. Your 16th Infantry Wing did a good job."
Soon, although the excavation progress of the Japanese army was extremely slow, the subsequent Japanese army piled up the bodies of the soldiers who had died before the battle into a bunker and began to dig quickly by blasting.
Zhang Xuewu looked at the tactics of the Japanese army's change. Matlin beside him and said, "My tenacity and persistence are their advantages. Personally, I really like their surname that they don't hit the south wall and don't look back. Even if they hit their heads and blood, they don't look back. Otherwise, how can we have a chance to kill and inund them in large numbers?"
Just as the Japanese army put in subsequent troops and began to accelerate the excavation of the departure position, Zhao Xinyu ordered the regiment's heavy mortar company to fire half a base shell at the predetermined coordinates, making him more diligent.
The unique firing sound of mortars and the hidden firing position hit the Japanese army, which was full of shrapnel baptism and howling. He was preparing to wait for the front fire point of the Chinese defenders to be exposed to the effective shelling, and Ichiro finally couldn't help it. He ordered the two wild artillery brigades belonging to the Eighth Brigade to start the garrison position. Respond to the shelling.
For a while, the front of the third regiment was covered by bursts of artillery fire, and hot black soil was sandwiched between the rising ice and snow. The shrapnel splashed freely through the air. After the third regiment's heavy mortars moved their positions, they also accelerated their rapid fire. For a moment, the positions on both sides exploded and flashed!
Zhang Xuewu observed the whole shelling process. He found that the tactical quality of the Japanese soldiers was indeed very high. During the whole process of the shelling, he could constantly see the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground blown off the ground, and the broken clothes, limbs and even steel helmet rifles flew high, but he never saw the Japanese soldiers panic everywhere. Run.
Soon, the Japanese artillery group, which blindly suppressed fire, stopped shelling, and the Japanese army stared at the cold and continued to do civil work in the ice and snow, completely in a steady posture.
Compared with the stable and stable battle of the 8th Brigade, the 27th Brigade of the 14th Division mainly attacked Xu Guohui's headquarters of the 1st Regiment, while the 28th Brigade attacked the 2nd Regiment's Wang Chuang's garrisoned Monk Guanfeng, forming an overall encirclement of Chengde.
Naosuke Matsuki is different from Hirose Shousuke. He graduated from the 10th Infantry Division of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School with excellent results at the end of 1898. He is no longer young. He has held important positions in the army with his academic qualifications in Germany and the background of the Changzhou vassal. During the January 28th Shanghai Incident, he also took the 14th Division to assist the ninth in Kanazawa who fought hard. Division, but due to the dispute between the ruling faction and the imperial faction, Matsuki Zhiliang is now the last lieutenant general from Yamaguchi County in the army. This battle of Rehe is probably an opportunity given by the military department over the hard work of his battle in Shanghai. This is also the last opportunity for Matsuki Zhiliang to advance to the rank of general, otherwise next year at the latest In half a year, he will be transferred to reserve.
Therefore, at the beginning, Songmu Zhiliang spread out the two brigades along the line, and the first achievement of Chengde was extremely important for Songmu Zhiliang.
Under the command of Major General Pingsong, the commander of the brigade, the 27th Brigade directly launched four waves of attacks on the main position of the Tiger Ditch of the first regiment, Xu Guohui's headquarters in just three hours. In the attack, the Japanese army not only used the wing-level artillery support, but also dispatched five Type 89 A. Medium-sized chariots help.
Xu Guohui immediately organized a battle defense artillery company deployed at the forefront for destructive shooting. Each regiment of the new first division has a six-door war defense gun produced by Sweden. In fact, Zhang Xuewu can say that this kind of war defense gun It is very familiar that the Gemm anti-aircraft gun is an early model of the well-known PAK35/36 37mm German-made anti-aircraft gun authorized by foreign countries.
Hearing that the Japanese army threw a chariot attack in the tiger ditch, Xu Guohui ordered the battle defense artillery company to counterattack, and soon after, he asked the two mechanized companies of the division to counterattack. Zhang Xuewu immediately realized that the situation was not good!
