The left-wing battlefield is like a meat grinder!
Li Shoushan almost frantically threw in the infantry. After the more than 400 people at the front suffered nearly 200 casualties, they lost their spirit, and another wave of three infantry companies came up.
If it still doesn’t work, rotate again!
Wave after wave, rows of corpses were dropped, plus the ones left before, the 'shit yellow' color mixed with blood covered the entire battlefield, which was shocking.
And its mountain artillery and infantry artillery were not idle. Even if the infantry in front of the front line trenches did not fire at the two sides fighting fiercely because of concerns about the front line trenches, their artillery fire was also aimed at the top of the mountain and other areas.
It looks like even if you use a cannon to hit mosquitoes, you will still kill a few of them.
Li Jijin also adopted a rotation system. As long as the Jing'an Army changed one wave, the Sichuan Army and the Second Company in the trenches would also change one wave.
It can not only maintain the physical strength of the soldiers on the front line, but also make the casualties of various units less concentrated.
However, Li Shoushan's move of shelling the top of the mountain without wasting ammunition was indeed cruel. All the wounded could only be left in the second-line trenches and treated briefly with the first-aid kits carried by the second company. They could not be carried to the medical team station two kilometers behind.
This also caused several seriously injured people who might have survived to close their eyes before dark.
But this is not just the difficulty that Tang Dao said.
For the entire 145th Division, the most difficult thing is not the left battlefield, but the central position.
Yes, despite the fact that Li Shoushan personally supervised the battle on the left flank, not only investing more than a dozen artillery pieces, he also did not hesitate to invest more than a thousand infantry to attack in turns.
However, the offensive focus of the Jing'an Army's First Brigade has actually always been at the central position.
This move played by Li Shoushan was called "attack with two fists", in an attempt to make the Chinese defenders focus on one thing and not the other.
But because the Chinese side accidentally joined Tang Dao and the Independent Battalion, Li Shoushan not only blocked his punch, but almost broke his bones.
But the situation at the central main position is a bit miserable, because the central position not only has the first regiment of the Jing'an Army as the main attack, but also has a Japanese infantry brigade as the auxiliary attack, which is sent by the Kunisaki detachment that is still ten kilometers away.
Come.
Originally they were just supervising and cooperating, but after Kunizaki agreed, they also launched an attack in the afternoon.
Japan's regular army went on the offensive with much more style than its own dogs.
First, the reinforced artillery brigade carried by the Kunozaki detachment, protected by an infantry brigade, moved two kilometers forward from the station to the battlefield, bringing the main position of Jiepai Village within its range.
Sixteen 75mm field guns focused their fire on the main position in the center of Jiepai Village, shrouding the entire position in smoke.
Because the 145th Division deployed its defenses in a hurry, the entire construction of the fortifications took no more than 24 hours. It was the limit to dig two trenches one person deep in each position, let alone artillery holes.
The 75 field gun is a cannon, its penetrating power is much stronger than howitzers such as mountain guns, and its destructive power against simple fortifications such as trenches is also greatly enhanced.
Caught off guard, the two infantry companies located in the front-line trenches were first hit by a devastating attack. However, after 30 minutes of shelling, the two infantry companies were reduced by less than half.
If the commander of the second-line trench had not responded promptly and quickly mobilized an infantry company to take up the position, a section of the trench might have been taken away by a Japanese infantry squadron mixed in with the Jing'an Army.
But that was also the result of the three infantry companies in the front-line trenches having to mount bayonets and launch a countercharge to stabilize the situation.
The Sichuan army was forced to use the combat mode they were least good at.
The Sichuan Army was originally small, and after traveling more than 2,000 miles to reach the battlefield, their physical strength had long been exhausted. Their opponents were either the tall Jingan Army, or the short-legged but well-nourished Japanese Army.
, the results of the stabbing can be imagined.
The three infantry companies suffered only 100 casualties in the artillery bombardment for more than half an hour, but nearly 200 people were killed on the spot in less than ten minutes of hand-to-hand combat.
The losses of the more than 300 Japanese troops and Jingan troops who attacked were not even half of the Chinese losses.
However, the Sichuan people's fearless and fearless spirit sustained them until the reinforcements arrived. Seeing that there was nothing they could do, the Japanese army and their dogs retreated in an orderly manner.
But this is only four o'clock in the afternoon.
The old routine of the Japanese army is to attack after the bombardment is over, and continue to bombard when the enemy cannot be captured. The attack never stops.
Throughout the afternoon, a total of more than 60 people were killed on the left wing position, and more than 500 enemy corpses were left densely packed in front of the position.
However, as for the central main position, the battle damage was as high as 400, but the bodies left by the Japanese and Jing'an troops were very few.
谷/span> That’s not to say that they didn’t kill many enemy troops, but that the Japanese troops responsible for the attack had strong enough fire cover, but the Sichuan troops did not have the corresponding heavy firepower to suppress them, so they could easily take away the corpses and corpses when they retreated.
wounded.
Of the only four heavy machine guns and six mortars, two were destroyed. The six mortars also had limited shell reserves, so artillery support would only be fired as a last resort.
This is undoubtedly an extremely difficult afternoon, but the real test may be just the beginning.
Tang Dao knew that the Japanese attack in the afternoon would be unfavorable, and they would definitely dispatch fighter formations to bomb various positions in Jiepai Village tomorrow.
With the current strength of the trenches established based on the mountain topography, there is no position that can block those aerial bombardments that can weigh dozens of pounds or even more than a hundred pounds.
If you want to live, you can't be lazy.
Under Tang Dao's suggestion, even though it was already night, thousands of soldiers could not rest and recharge their batteries to wait for another battle tomorrow like the enemy troops glaring at them from a thousand meters away. The entire army, except for the necessary warning soldiers, was engaged in digging deep.
The fortifications of the trenches were being constructed.
Of course, digging on the original position, there is no reinforced concrete, only wood and sandbags fortifications, no matter how strong they are built, they will be useless in the face of hundreds of pounds of aerial bombs.
Tang Dao's suggestion is a simplified version of the future battle on the Five Sacred Mountains on the ice sheet. If we don't have time to build dense tunnels, we can dig a large number of traffic trenches to get to the back of the mountain!
In the event of Japanese artillery fire, both the first-line trenches and the second-line trenches can be evacuated to the other side of the mountain through the communication trenches. When the Japanese infantry comes up, they can then enter the position through the communication trenches.
Moreover, Tang Dao's method of digging a large number of communication trenches was not only to facilitate the movement of soldiers behind the mountains and between the first and second line positions, but also to designate positions for each infantry company.
Each infantry company is responsible for a position named by a number. If it needs support, it will send out a signal flare to ask for help, and the frontline headquarters will send troops to the position through the communication trench to provide support.
This method is to prevent the situation in which the enemy's artillery fire is fierce and the front-line trenches are not entered in time, resulting in the loss of the front-line trenches.
"Okay! Very good! Then our 145th Division will use the tactics mentioned by your battalion commander Tang to engage in hot pot tactics with the Japanese invaders." Lieutenant General of the Sichuan Army invented a new vocabulary after listening to Tang Dao's suggestion.
What is hot pot? It just means putting all the ingredients into one pot and cooking it. In the north, it is called random stew.
Lieutenant General of the Sichuan Army made a more bold attempt on Tang Dao's suggestion. He even decided to voluntarily give up the first line of trenches before the Japanese fighter planes arrived.
Let's do it with me in you and you in me, so that the Japanese bombers don't dare to drop bombs easily, and if they have the ability to do so, we can finish the game together.
This tactic was bold enough to prevent heavy casualties from Japanese bombers dropping heavy bombs, but it also had drawbacks.
If the communication trenches transporting troops on each infantry company's position are cut off by the Japanese army, causing the position to be besieged by the Japanese army, and each position is visibly lost, and the morale gradually declines, it may lead to a collapse-like rout. Then the two to three thousand people in the central main position
But there is no place to die.
To put it bluntly, this tactic of proactively bringing the Japanese troops into position and relying on each infantry company to hold on to their positions like scattered dandelions tested no longer the strength of their combat power, but their will.
Only a strong and tenacious will can ensure the continuation of the fight in this extreme state of close combat or even siege. Once weakened, the distance between the two sides will never exceed two hundred meters. Under the heavy pursuit of the Japanese army, a thousand people who entered the position
There is no one left to live.
"Not everyone in our 145th Division is a softie like Liu Ruzhai!" Sichuan Army Lieutenant General met Tang Dao's slightly worried eyes and smiled generously. "I said I will fight for you, Battalion Commander Tang, for 24 hours, and not even a minute will be lost.
Yours. This time, there is no front finger. Our 145th Division headquarters is the frontline headquarters."
This is the self-confidence of the Sichuan Army Lieutenant General.
How can a person who is not even afraid of death be afraid of the tactical test he has determined?
Because, this time, he, the lieutenant general and division commander, will go into battle with a gun, and his headquarters will move forward 800 meters, only 500 meters away from the front line.
Once encountering an extreme battle situation, the lieutenant general division commander and his guard company will become the last line of defense on the entire position.
The 145th Division arrived at the Guangde front line with an infantry brigade and a battalion with a total of 5,000 lives, just to buy enough time for the Mouse Mountain position in the rear.
It was extremely cruel, but it was the limit that this Sichuan Army Lieutenant General could do for his country.
Tang Dao knew that he would do it.
Because, in the past time and space, after many days of bloody battles, he still led a battalion of soldiers and still chose to fight back against the Japanese army.
The last bullet in his pistol was reserved for himself...
