Chapter 181 Xuzhou Battlefield
On July 20, 1933, the Imperial Chinese Army and the Guangxi Army began to hand over. The Eleventh Army, the Tenth Army, the Ninth Army and the Eighth Army of the conventional army successively moved into Xuzhou to exchange defense with the Gui Army.
The process is basically the same as the Jinan battlefield on the northern front.
The former enemy headquarters was also established on the Xuzhou battlefield. The former enemy commander-in-chief Wu Peifu and the chief of staff Bai Chongxi were members of the former enemy headquarters including Wang Conglin, commander of the Eighth Army, Cong Longyun, commander of the ninth army, Huang Shujing, commander of the tenth army, and Huang Shujing, commander of the eleventh army.
Army Commander Liu Huichun.
Li Zongren has been appointed as the governor of Anhui Province. Li Zongren has returned to the Imperial College of Government to study and receive new management education. Officers at all levels in the Gui army have to go to the Imperial Military Academy to study, and the soldiers of the army return to the rear to receive reorganization.
It also accepted some of the remaining troops of the Northeast Army stationed in Bengbu.
On July 21st, when the sky seemed to be bright but not bright, bursts of roaring sounds came from the northern sky. The fleet of aircraft in the sky traveled south from the west of Xuzhou, turning their heads between Xuzhou and Nanzhijing.
Flying east. Only the air force of a regiment led by Gao Zhihang himself was to carry out the mission of destroying the air power of the weak army, controlling the air and firmly seizing the initiative on the battlefield. This was the consistent policy of the Chinese Imperial Army.
It was just daybreak when the fleet of planes and aircraft arrived at the Qiaojun Airport. When the first bomb landed, the siren sounded in the airport. It was too late. It was too late. Countless bombs exploded at the airport, and the entire airport soon became a
There was a sea of fire. The aircraft fleet was still dive-bombing, pulling up and diving again. They would not let go of any target on the ground. Their mission was to completely destroy the Piao Army's air base.
In this life, the Yi army is not as strong as that of later generations. North Korea is gone, and the Northeast has lost a lot of money. It has been burdened with foreign debts and is in an economic crisis. It is hard to say whether the air force base can be replenished in the future.
Looking at the situation on the ground, Gao Zhihang issued an evacuation order, and a large group of planes roared away in the direction of Nanzhijing.
The Chinese people are really careless. They have been fighting for such a long time and have not seen the other side dispatch aircraft. Besides, according to intelligence, the other side really does not have an air force. Nanzhijing does have an air force but there is no record of dispatching it.
Who can guard against it every day if nothing happens? Therefore, the airport’s defense
It’s not surprising that the air force has become a decoration. Looking at the direction of the plane leaving, it must be the air force from Nanzhijing. Damn, why did it suddenly dispatch? I’m crazy or have a convulsion. In addition to the troops on the front line,
There was no other way to report from the rear and request that more air force be sent to support the front line.
Without the power of the air force, the Chinese Imperial Army's casualties could be controlled, and the defensive positions on the Xuzhou front line would have nothing to worry about. The tactics were exactly the same as those on the Jinan battlefield on the northern front.
Just after eight o'clock in the morning, the Japs' attack began. Now the Chinese Imperial Army has fully deployed Hu Lian's army's tactics. Three hundred meters away is the world of first-class shooters. However, the Japs have also strengthened the frontline troops.
Weapons and equipment, the thin-skinned turtle shells of later generations appeared on the battlefield in Xuzhou. This was not a problem for the Chinese Imperial Army. A group of soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms each appeared on the battlefield carrying a big bag. The frontline headquarters was
They are at the rear of the position
A position was set up on a high ground. When the few thin-skinned turtle shells of the Japanese entered within 300 meters in front of the position, the soldiers on the position only heard the sound of "swish...swish", and the thin-skinned turtle shells in the distance were heard.
Turtle shells come out one after another
There was an explosion and turned into a pile of scrap metal scattered on the ground. The soldiers in camouflage uniforms behind the position put a set of equipment into a bag and got up and entered the bunker. Obviously, these soldiers did not belong to the regular army here, but
Chinese Emperor
As for the special operations forces of the Chinese army, the weapons they use have not been equipped to the army so far, and they will not show up unless the Japanese tanks appear. At present, the Japanese do not have many tanks, even if they are
It can't be replenished in a short time. The situation on the battlefield has returned to be similar to that of the Jinan battlefield in the north. The conventional army consumes the strength of the Japanese with unique tactics. The first-level shooters shoot from 300 meters away and enter the third level.
Range of 100 meters
Together with the second-level shooters, they blocked the Japanese attacking troops. The Japanese soldiers crossed the 250-meter line, and the shooters, second-level shooters, and third-level shooters shot together to deal a huge blow to the attacking Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers even crossed the 250-meter line.
There are very few opportunities in the 100-meter range. Most of the time, near 250 meters, the attacking troops have too many casualties and it is difficult to organize a close assault and are forced to evacuate. As for the wave attack method adopted by the Japanese soldiers, it is naturally
Useless.
The battle began in the afternoon. The Japanese started shelling first. However, there were not many soldiers on the defensive positions in Xuzhou. Most of the soldiers retreated to the second-line positions to avoid the artillery fire. The usual military training was reflected on the battlefield. Everything on the battlefield
The steps were all in order and carried out step by step. The Japanese artillery fire lasted for a short time, the shells cost money, and the landlords had no surplus food. In this life, the little
The Japanese are very poor. They have no supplies from the three eastern provinces and no supplements from the colonies on the Korean Peninsula. The light industry they depend on for survival is being disrupted by the Xihua Group. Coupled with the ongoing economic crisis around the world, the country's hard days are far away.
, how can they have so much money to cause harm to them, not to mention that this war is an extra war initiated by the military itself without authorization. The logistical supplies on the Shandong battlefield can be imagined.
Xuzhou's defensive positions are still the old way. As soon as the enemy's artillery fire stops, the soldiers in the trenches quickly rush out to monitor the positions in front. The soldiers in the second-line trenches in the rear enter the passage in an orderly manner and jog to the front with weapons in hand.
Position. Not long after, the figure of the Japanese army appeared in the distance. When the Japanese soldiers entered the shooting range, and the shooters opened fire, the sparse shooting sound was very sparse, and it was easy for the opponent to
It creates a feeling that the resistance is weak, but these are all sharpshooters. If they don’t take action with the sniper rifles in their hands, a Japs will definitely be killed if they take action. They are all effective kills and rarely miss. The Japs crossed the 300-meter line on their positions.
The gunfire obviously increased, and the Japanese casualties also increased. The attack in the afternoon was different from that in the morning. The Japanese army had already crossed the 250-meter line and had nearly half of its casualties.
There was no sign of stopping the attack, and it seemed that they wanted to test the true strength of the Xuzhou defenders at all costs. As soon as the Japanese attack force reached the vicinity of 200 meters, everything became miserable. All the weapons on the position except the heavy machine guns opened fire.
How could the few remaining Japanese attack troops withstand it? The intensive gunfire quickly defeated the remaining less than 600 Japanese soldiers, and only three or four hundred were able to run back.
Only about one-third of the Japanese attack force of a large group of more than 1,200 people remained. This was still one of the positions. The other positions were almost the same. How could the Japanese withstand this kind of fighting style? What happened?
The direct consequence was that the Japanese did not launch any new attacks that afternoon. They were probably counting the casualties there, or studying new tactics. I guess... the mud horse couldn't afford to be hurt!
Indeed, the Japs were counting casualties there. This statistic was shocking. There were more than 3,600 casualties in total. Damn, that was the number of a whole regiment. This was a one-day attack. The Japs commanded
The officer simply couldn’t believe his ears, Nani, the enemy’s resistance is not very strong. When did the Chinese become sharpshooters? If we fight like today, the three divisions of my
How many days can the army last for how long?
Since then, the attack intensity of the Japanese soldiers in the Xuzhou battlefield suddenly weakened. Although there were battles every day, every battle was tepid. The attacking Japanese soldiers changed their tactics and adopted limited tactics every day.
