The ambush battle that destroyed the Uchida Brigade of the Kwantung Army was undoubtedly successful, classic, and shocking.
As a reporter for the Fourth Independent Regiment, American journalist Aird.
Many wonderful parts of this textbook ambush battle in which the Four Regiments destroyed Uchida's brigade were captured forever with photos and videos.
And the destruction of the Uchida Brigade of the Kwantung Army.
Even during the period when the main force of the Japanese army accompanied the raids.
I thought I was sure to win the central flowering tactic, but Nobuya Uchida actually sent the entire Kwantung Army brigade, including himself, into it.
When the news reached the Japanese rear headquarters, the Japanese officers were completely dumbfounded, followed by shock, shame and anger.
As the absolute elite of the Japanese army, the Kwantung Army brigade was actually wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop during the sweep.
For the Japanese army, this was a great shame and humiliation.
The facts before and after are as if the Japanese army just fought a great victory in Zhongtiao Mountain, and with a crushing victory, they completely drove the Central Army stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain to the south of the Yellow River.
It left behind the most shameful episode in the history of the Chinese War of Resistance.
As a result, the Eighth Route Army troops turned around and directly annihilated a full Kwantung Army brigade of yours during the large-scale raids launched by the Japanese army.
The humiliation brought about is no less than the defeat of the national army at Zhongtiao Mountain.
The original joy of a complete victory at Nakatiao Mountain seemed to be dashed away with the destruction of Uchida's brigade.
When the Fourth Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army annihilated the Uchida Brigade of the Japanese Kwantung Army, the news spread completely.
The Japanese army was furious, and the Japanese officers swore with red eyes that they would cut the Fourth Independent Regiment into thousands of pieces.
In the area south of the Yellow River, where the Central Army is stationed, the news was also conveyed.
The Eighth Route Army, which is also China's armed force, has achieved such a dazzling victory.
Logically speaking, the Central Army should be happy.
But at this moment in the Central Military Command, the faces of the national army officers were silent.
Next to the headquarters is a copy of the latest newspaper issued by the newspaper.
One of the reports was the most eye-catching, occupying the most space. From beginning to end, it promoted the Central Army’s recent battle with the Japanese army and its impressive record of defeating more than 120 Japanese troops.
What a great victory it was originally preached to.
At this moment, news came that the Eighth Route Army had annihilated the Japanese Kwantung Army brigade.
Outdone by comparison, many officers simply lost their composure.
It’s really embarrassing!
If more than 100 Japanese troops are eliminated, it is worth advocating. How about the Eighth Route Army directly annihilating a full brigade and killing more than a thousand elite Japanese troops?
More than 200,000 troops were unable to defend Zhongtiao Mountain for a month before they were completely routed by the Japanese army. They suffered a humiliating defeat and even fled to the south bank of the Yellow River in a panic.
It was originally thought that the decline of Zhongtiao Mountain would become a channel for the Japanese army to completely open up the northern and southern battlefields.
As a result, the Eighth Route Army came forward
Every time your national army retreats steadily and loses its position.
On the battlefield behind enemy lines, a land that had originally lost all hope, the Eighth Route Army troops, which also represented China's anti-Japanese armed forces, would always stand up and continue to fight the Japanese army to the death.
Now, a fact is illustrated with practical actions:
Your national army lost Zhongtiao Mountain, and our Eighth Route Army established a base here; you suffered a humiliating defeat and were defeated, but we can defeat the Japanese Kwantung Army brigade here...
As expected, there is no harm without comparison.
At the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi in Taiyuan City, the Japs Commander Yoshio Shinozuka soon learned of the large-scale sweep of Zhongtiao Mountain and the Kwantung Army Uchida Brigade was completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army.
The first thing that appeared on the old devil's face was a look of disbelief.
After calming down, I accepted the news.
The frowning Yoshio Shinozuka was furious.
The troublesome First Anti-Japanese Detachment of Northwestern Shanxi in the Taihang Base Area, and Kong Jie, a difficult guy, have not been killed yet!
The four independent regiments, which were also part of the first team, actually achieved such a shocking record in Zhongtiao Mountain.
This damn Kong Jie is so difficult to deal with.
Are there even powerful generals under your command?
Shinozuka Yoshio believed that he could launch a large-scale sweep of tens of thousands of troops in Nakajo Mountain and take advantage of the failure of the main Japanese army to reinforce in time and devour the Uchida brigade. The commander of the Fourth Independent Regiment is definitely not a vegetarian. p>
"Hit!"
"Kill me the Fourth Independent Regiment at all costs!"
The sullen Yoshio Shinozuka directly issued the highest order to the Nakatōyama headquarters.
This old devil is extremely depressed. I can't defeat Kong Jie in the Taihang base area. Is it possible that I can't defeat your generals under Kong Jie in the Zhongtiao Mountain area?
We are also aware of the potential threat of the Fourth Independent Regiment in Zhongtiao Mountain.
Yoshio Shinozuka must not sit back and watch the emergence of the Eighth Route Army Zhongtiaoshan base area similar to the Taihang and Taiyue base areas.
……
The unknown slope of Zhongtiao Mountain.
The soldiers who acted quickly were able to clean up the battlefield, and Japanese reinforcements from all sides were approaching.
In addition, the Japanese flying troops have also arrived and started bombing the area where the two sides originally fought.
The high-altitude police surveillance post blew the whistle warning in advance.
The soldiers quickly evacuated in multiple ways under Wang Huaibao's instructions.
Troops from all sides who were blocking the reinforcements also immediately chose to withdraw
This is exactly the reality of counter-mopping up at the moment. Even if the Japanese Kwantung Army brigade is defeated, the situation will still be one in which the enemy is strong and we are weak.
Faced with the advance of the main force of the Japanese army's mopping up force, Wang Huaibao could only lead the soldiers of the fourth regiment to temporarily avoid the edge and continue to retreat.
But...
"If the Japanese mopping up troops are compared to a knife, the Japanese Kwantung Army Uchida Brigade is the tip of the knife.
Now that the tip of the knife has been broken by us, there is nothing to be afraid of with this dull knife."
After leading the soldiers to completely break out of the encirclement of the Japanese army, Wang Huaibao, the leader of the fourth regiment, said calmly to the battalion commanders around him.
This seems to be the case.
Without the Kwantung Army Brigade as the sharpest tip of the knife, the momentum of the Japanese army's mopping up troops has been significantly weakened.
Coupled with the strong combat effectiveness displayed by the fourth regiment, it was even possible to annihilate the Kwantung Army brigade within two hours.
The Japanese army's follow-up mopping up force was the main force, and a large mopping up net was opened. Individual combat units would never dare to be smaller than a brigade, for fear that the Eighth Route Army's old tricks would be repeated, and thus the same mistakes would be repeated.
It ended up like the Uchida Brigade, being annihilated.
As a result, when the total strength of the Japanese army's mopping up force was determined, the mesh of the sweeping net opened by the Japanese army suddenly became much larger.
Han Feng, the commander of the fourth battalion, led the Fourth Battalion to make an early detour and launch a surprise attack from the back of Uchida Battalion, and played an indispensable role in the battle to annihilate Uchida Battalion.
After successfully cooperating with the main force of the regiment to annihilate the Uchida Brigade, he immediately asked Wang Huaibao for help and led the main force of the fourth battalion to pass through the gaps in the Japanese army's sweeping net and detour back to the Japanese army's rear operations.
At the same time.
Just when Uchida's brigade was destroyed, all the enemy's attention fell on the Fourth Independent Regiment.
In the rear area of the Japanese mopping up troops, they occupied many counties in the area.
Duan Peng led the commando soldiers into groups and sneaked into various counties, launching a killing feast of commando beheading operations.
As the first anti-Japanese detachment in northwestern Shanxi, it is absolutely elite and the most powerful ace in Kong Jie’s account.
In terms of equipment, the commando team has always been given priority.
For example, the sniper rifles used by the forty members of the commando team who are currently performing beheading operations and mainly use sniping as their main method.
Whether it is the Japanese Type 97, Type 99 sniper rifle, the Dezhi 98k sniper rifle, or even the American Springfield sniper rifle.
As long as the soldiers like it and find it easiest to use, Kong Jie will find a way to get it for everyone.
At this moment, these superior-performance sniper rifles have found their best niche.
In the hands of every commando, they exert unparalleled power.
Bang——
From a distance of six to seven hundred meters, Duan Peng pulled the trigger decisively, and the bullet was shot from the muzzle of the sniper rifle in his hand. The flying bullet accurately hit the target's chest at a speed that almost broke through the air.<
/p>
"Your Excellency Major! Enemy attack, cover up!"
In the alley a few hundred meters away, the Japanese captain shouted with anger and anxiety, and quickly led the guards around him to carry the Japanese major who had fallen to the ground onto a stretcher.
Great fear completely enveloped the thirty or so little devils on the street.
This is a threat more terrifying than death faced on the battlefield.
It seems that bullets may hit you accurately from all directions at any time and kill you.
What's even more terrifying is that the sniper rifle used by the opponent also comes with a silencer. Because the previous gunfire was too far away, no one could hear the Japanese who were attacked.
Bang——
It was like a slap in the face a few hundred meters away, and the sound of bullets shot through the air was inconspicuous in this busy city.
Until a Japanese lieutenant fell down.
The great fear that appeared on the faces of dozens of little devils confirmed that the scenes in front of them were not illusory.
Duan Peng, who was lurking in the alley a few hundred meters away, but always exposed the dozens of little devils to his sniper vision, was like a patient, shrewd, and powerful hunter.
Those little devils a few hundred meters away are all randomly selected prey.
The feast of killing is staged again and again here in Duan Peng...
Other team members were also not idle.
After the order for the beheading operation was issued, forty team members divided into groups to fight.
The target is the security army officers in the main counties in the Japs-occupied areas around Zhongtiao Mountain.
As the most elite warriors in the entire first team, each of them can be equal to ten.
You can completely imagine the huge threat that dozens of these tough guys, carrying the most advanced sniper rifles, infiltrated into the counties in the Japanese-occupied areas and lurking patiently, could bring to the Japanese officers.
The beheading operation officially began at around 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m.
Including Duan Peng, a total of forty commandos were sniping and killing Japanese security officers in major counties and towns in enemy-occupied areas.
Just less than four hours.
The entire commando team killed more than 100 Japanese security officers, including 11 assistant officers and more than 90 lieutenants.
After the Japanese command finally noticed the changes in the rear occupied area, it was horrified and immediately issued an order to make corresponding adjustments:
"First, all officers must wear the rank of soldier and are not allowed to expose themselves to a wide field of vision at will."
"Second, the current period is special. All soldiers are not allowed to salute officers or surround their officers."
"Third, immediately seal the city gates and put the entire city under martial law. Anyone without documents, strangers, or unknown origins will be arrested. The lurking gunmen must be uncovered and eliminated!"
After three consecutive military orders were issued, the rate at which the Japanese security force officers in major county towns were being sniped and killed suddenly slowed down.
But it didn't stop.
After noticing the Japanese army's adjusted deployment, the commando soldiers gritted their teeth.
Well, since you little devil has hidden the officers, let’s just carry out random selection and sniper killing without distinction.
If you accidentally kill an officer again, you will be unlucky.
The county town in the rear area was turned upside down, and a large number of security army officers were killed by lurking snipers.
The Japanese army swept forward the troops, so the pressure doubled.
The headquarters ordered the mopping up troops to speed up their march.
It is necessary to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army within two days, and then return to the rear counties in time to help maintain public order.
...At dusk that day.
As the Japanese mopping up troops continued to advance, the space left for the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment became less and less.
Wang Huaibao looked at the sky, a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
Here it is, this is the moment he has been waiting for to break through.
At dusk, the sky is somewhere between daylight and darkness, making it the most suitable place to break out through the cover of the mountains and forests.
Because of the destruction of the Uchida Brigade of the Japanese army, the mesh of the Japanese raids was widened.
In order to ensure the victory of the breakout, Wang Huaibao decided to fight in pieces.
He used the main force of the three battalions around him as a separate combat unit.
At the agreed time point, break out from different directions at the same time.
"With the cover of the sky and the concealment of the mountains and forests, during the breakout process, try to use camouflage to get close enough to the Japanese army, and then break out directly with absolute superior firepower!"
"Remember one thing, don't be too lazy to fight. Our goal this time is for all companies to break out of the Japanese blockade, not to eliminate the Japanese army."
At the temporary military meeting before deciding to break out, Wang Huaibao solemnly entrusted the commanders of each company together.
He knew very well that the Japanese army still had an absolute advantage in strength.
It would definitely be unwise to engage in a war of attrition with the Japanese at this time.
We can only break through the Japanese blockade first and completely break the Japanese encirclement.
"Yes!" The company commanders of each company responded in unison, then left, prepared separately, and led their respective companies to break out from the planned locations.
Wang Huaibao has no doubts about this breakout operation.
When they were in the Taihang base area, the Japanese also launched a large-scale raid. At that time, the troops were short of guns and ammunition. Two people could not even carry a gun. In addition, the military training was insufficient, and the military quality of the troops was not high.
It can be said that the soldiers fought with passion.
Just like that, he still broke through many Japanese raids and broke out of the siege.
Not to mention that the current Fourth Independent Regiment is already strong with strong troops, well-equipped equipment, and powerful firepower.
In particular, among the American equipment sent by Kong Jie's transportation team this time, there are also a considerable number of American M3 Gad submachine guns.
Many cadres have seen American submachine guns.
I just heard that only some of the elite Central Military Forces could equip this sophisticated equipment.
Now, after Kong Jie and John reached a gambling agreement, the American equipment sent to the Fourth Independent Regiment for one regiment is enough to ensure that each combat squad of the Fourth Independent Regiment has one or two M3 submachine guns.
With the help of the dim sky and the cover of mountains and forests, once the two sides engage in a close confrontation, the powerful firepower that such sophisticated equipment can explode will definitely surprise the Japanese army.
This is indeed the case.
As each company of the Fourth Independent Regiment broke through, an encounter broke out with the Japanese army in the mountains and forests.
The firepower of each company of the four regiments suddenly broke out. Facing the firepower, the little Japanese who were hit were immediately stunned.
This kind of unilateral complete suppression of firepower made it impossible for Japanese soldiers to adapt to the battlefield against China.
This has never happened before.
Under the gradually darkening sky, I saw the firepower coming from the opposite side like raindrops, and the comrades around me fell one after another.
Submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles, light machine guns, and even 60mm mortars for auxiliary support.
The large mopping up net set up by the Japanese army was as fragile as a thin piece of paper in the face of such firepower.
From dusk, local encounters broke out on all sides.
The sun has not set yet.
The three main battalions of the Fourth Regiment and more than a dozen companies, without exception, all easily broke through the Japanese encirclement and killed hundreds of Japanese soldiers in fierce battles along the way.
The Japanese's original mopping up net was almost shattered by the attack from all directions...
