Chapter 148 Battle Preparation (2)
Okazaki Detachment Captain Ken Okazaki held a telegram in his hand, and secretly regretted that he should not have dispersed his troops. Originally, his detachment had a strong military force, but this time, he specially transferred the 6th Squadron of the Infantry, and the 6th Squadron of the Infantry, as well as other troops, totaling 37 officers and 1,189 corporal officers and soldiers. His strong military strength once made him feel at ease, but since the damn First Army's Chief Staff used the excuse of insufficient troops to sweep the troops, he split half of the troops from his hands and transferred them to other places, he only had the 2nd Squadron of the Infantry, and there were 63 corporal officers and 16 officers and 544 corporal officers and 33 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 544 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 344 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 344 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 36 corporal officers and 344 corporal officers and 32 corporal officers and 32 corporal officers and 32 corporal officers and 32 corporal officers and 32 corporal officers and 32 corporal officers and 32 corporal officers and 32 corpor
The result was great. Since the outbreak of January 6th, I have defeated the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army in more than 20 days, and I can't remember how many troops of the Turkish Eighth Route Army are defeated in more than 20 days. In short, the record is good, the Eighth Route Army is vulnerable. In more than 20 days, it has only been mined once and was harassed several times, with minor losses. What made him particularly funny was that when he passed by Huangya Mountain, there was a Eighth Route Army with less than 100 people following him for a long time. He easily set up an ambush and wiped out most of the people. The opponent did not even care about the wounded soldiers. The wounded soldiers were very stubborn, like Japanese soldiers, who would rather die than surrender. According to convention, the wounded soldiers who were struggling to resist on the battlefield were regarded as targets for bayonet practice by the brave Japanese Imperial Army. The Eighth Route Army is commendable, but its combat power is too weak and it is not an opponent.
He was chasing the Eighth Route Army Headquarters along the booked route, but suddenly he received information about the plane's reconnaissance. He found that the Eighth Route Army had come from all directions to him. Okazaki thought for a long time and finally realized that these Eighth Route Army were coming for him and must have wanted to eat him.
Okazaki spread out the map, and the detailed terrain of this area was not marked on the distressed map. This place is located in the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains and has always been the base camp of the Eighth Route Army. It is difficult to send in to draw figures in detail. Those stubborn and unruly people's eyes are bright, they cannot pierce through needles and cannot spill water into it, hiding all the secrets of this area.
The remaining 5oo multi-player weapons in Okazaki are very high. According to the standards, each infantry squad has a light machine gun. Each team is equipped with 3 grenade bullets. There are 53 light and heavy machine guns and 26 grenade bullets, which are full of firepower. For more than 2o days, the Okazaki Detachment once passed a mobile munition replenishment point and received ammunition supply once, greatly enriching ammunition. Now, on average, each soldier can spread more than 2o bullets, not including machine gun bullets and grenade bullets. The only thing to worry about is the food, and only a truck of grain left was barely retrieved from the village along the way, less than a thousand pounds. But it doesn't matter. You can eat for two days. If you are really surrounded, the other brothers are not far away from here, only a few dozen kilometers. If you are normal, you can arrive in half a day. If you don't have more than 2o horses to grab, you can kill and eat meat.
Since we have received the news, it is definitely not enough to continue the swaggering marching. No matter how much we look down on the combat effectiveness of the Zhongzhao team, Okazaki, who is still sober, understands that no matter how powerful the 5OOs, no matter how powerful the Tujiao Route Army is, they cannot beat tens of thousands of Tujiao Route Army. Okazaki decided to find the commanding heights and hold on to the aid.
Okazaki called his three squadron leaders and explained the situation to them. The captain of the 3rd squadron, Soichiro Nakamura took the map, spread it on the ground, lay on it, and looked at it for a long time, not sure why. The other two captains also stared at each other. Okazaki cursed angrily and had no choice but to order to continue moving forward. After walking for another half an hour, the lucky scout caught a local man. After interrogation, he got the information they wanted. The excited Nakamura ran to Okazaki to report, and then pointed to a place on the map very firmly, "Grand of Nakazaki, we continue to walk west along this direction, and then passed about 5 kilometers to two relatively high peaks. If we stick to the support, there is no better place than it."
After listening to Nakamura's report, Okazaki was overjoyed, "Hmm? OK, hurry up and occupy those two peaks."
"Hi!"
"Where is the person you caught? Let him be the guide."
"Hi!"
Okazaki rarely changed his arbitrary style, "leaked military action" to boost morale, and informed the entire army of the difficulties faced by his army. Then he was delighted to see that the originally exhausted soldiers suddenly became "a hundred times more energetic". Under the threat of death, the Okazaki Detachment revitalized his strong survival instinct and ran quickly. An hour later, the Okazaki Detachment, who was forced to fight, quickly occupied two peaks. By asking the guide who was caught, Okazaki learned about the two peaks, one was called Guan Jiawu and the other was called Liu Shuwu. After thinking about it for a long time, Okazaki thought that the two names were too rustic and unpleasant, so he changed the names of the two hills, Guan Jiawu to "Wende Highland", and Liu Shuwu was renamed "Bojuan Mountain Position".
After changing the name, Okazaki looked around proudly and accepted his subordinates' "sincere" praise. "Your Highness Nakasa is worthy of being a sinologist. Look at how artistic the new names of these two hills have, they deeply explored the connotation of Chinese characters."
But what is Bojuan Mountain? Is the willow tree like a soup bowl serving rice? The officer who was incompetent in the military dared not ask, just because he could not think of the profound meaning of Lord Zhongzuo.
The mountains in this area are undulating and ravines. Guanjiawan is a high hill surrounded by ridges. The top of the mountain is a flat land with a radius of hundreds of meters and hundreds of acres, which is very suitable for placing troops. To the north is a steep cliff wall and a deep ditch below. The slopes on the east and west sides are steeper, and only the south slope is relatively gentle.
Okazaki was very satisfied with the terrain of these two peaks. He led several officers around, and from time to time he guided him to build positions there, where to dig scattered holes, cat ear holes, and bulletproof trenches.
"Everyone, work hard! This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Eighth Route Army lacks heavy weapons. They will definitely not be able to attack. We are safe now. After the mobilization troops from Liao County and Licheng come to meet with me, I will lead everyone to continue the battle until the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is eliminated."
"Hi!" The Japanese officers made a "supporting role" as usual.
A cave was built along the mountain wall on the south slope of Guanjiawu. Recently, the war was fierce, and the people in the village had already moved out. Okazaki came down to look at it for a while, and then ordered a small team of soldiers to enter the cave and open the cave to serve as a natural fortress and as the first line of defense. Opposite to the south slope is Liushuwan, which is a hill higher than Guanjiawu. However, the top area of the bay is not as large as Guanjiawu, and the surrounding terrain is not as dangerous as Guanjiawu, so it has not become the main position, but only exists as a sub-position. It is cornered with Guanjiawu. From the willow tree, it can use firepower to control the path to Guanjiawu. While occupying Guanjiawu, the Okazaki Detachment also sent a small team of soldiers to occupy Liushuwan.
The Japanese began to build fortifications in the two places, dug tunnels, dismantled the doors and windows of local residents on top, laying thick soil layers, and building a hidden place. On the flat ground at the top of Guanjiawu Mountain, the Japanese army also set up machine guns and grenade launchers. The Japanese army formed a tight firepower network in Guanjiawu and Liushuwu.
The soldiers of the Okazaki Detachment already knew the difficulties they were facing. According to the detachment leader, there will be no less than 10,000 Eighth Route Army coming to attack after dawn, which made them full of excitement and fear. Amid the officers' rough shouts, everyone desperately digging out the hiding fortifications.
They used the engineer shovels they carried with them and the pickaxe found from the homes of Chinese people on the hillside, working hard on the loess top, shouting slogans of cheering from time to time.
"Hurry up, you're slow, Mr. Yamaguchi."
"Hi! I'll speed it up!"
"Yitan, you stinky pig, you dig so shallowly, do you want to kill your comrades?" A little officer was furious and pointed at the "stinky pig" and cursed.
"Hi! I'll change it right away!" The reprimanded soldier accelerated his progress.
The Japanese have very smooth civil engineering operations and are very skilled. The skills they practice hard are fully utilized. A large group of Japanese are like hard-working ants, digging holes in the top of the trench. Two trenches were dug in front of the main position on the south slope, which can be used as traffic trenches or as trenches. Every previous section of the trench, a hiding cat ear hole will be dug in the trench. If the other party has a cannon, during the artillery preparation stage, even if the other party's shells fall into the trench, the shrapnel will fly longitudinally along the trench and will not explode to the cat ear hole at a ninety-degree angle to the direction of the shrapnel, and will not hurt many people. Bulletproof trenches are also dug in front of the machine gun position that is slightly protruding to the position. Unless the grenade can be thrown onto the machine gun position with an abnormally accurate accuracy, it will not hit the machine gun position, and most grenades will be bounced into the bulletproof trench and exploded.
Dozens of cat ear pierced on the high platform protruding in the center of the ridge, and some cat ear pierced several bends. Even if the Eighth Route Army threw grenades into it, it would not be able to blow up the Japanese soldiers in the depths.
As the fortifications were gradually completed, Okazaki put down his heart that had been squeezing for a long time.
Chapter completed!
