Seeing that the always invincible aerial attack was beaten to a black face, Major General Ryo Shigeto, the captain of the Shigeto detachment, shouted angrily: "All attacks."
The Chongteng detachment is small in size, equivalent to the brigade level. There are only two regiments of about 7,000 people and no artillery. The soldiers are all recruited from Taiwan, but after years of training, their combat effectiveness is unambiguous and strict.
They are no different from regular Japanese troops.
"Kill to give"
Under the strict orders of Major General Ryo Shigeto, the leader of the detachment, they formed a skirmish formation and pressed forward.
On the position of the 1st Battalion of the 6th Regiment, Zheng Xiaoyou, the commander and deputy commander of the 1st Battalion, was dumbfounded as he watched the Japanese troops approaching in skirmish formation. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "Is this the legendary Jade Break attack?"
Or are you tired of living in Japan? You didn’t even prepare for the artillery fire, so you just came to die like this?"
In fact, Zheng Xiaoyou wronged the Chongteng detachment this time. This Chongteng detachment is a stepmother and has no artillery establishment. The range of the naval guns here is out of reach, and the aircraft was beaten down again. They had no choice but to sacrifice their lives to block the eye-catching attack.
Already.
"Boom boom boom"
When the Chongteng detachment's formation advanced to 300 meters in front of the position, the division's artillery set up behind the second line of defense began to speak. Fifty-six howitzers, including 105 and 155, were directed toward the front of the position.
Fire simultaneously.
"Boom boom"
Dozens of artillery shells fell in the Japanese attacking formation, causing astonishing damage. No matter how scattered the skirmishing formations of the Japanese army were, they could not withstand the raging artillery fire. Large-caliber artillery shells fell one after another.
In front of the position.
"Baga, the Chinese actually have heavy artillery." The face of Major General Ueda Ryo of the Chongteng detachment who was watching the battle suddenly turned livid. He never expected that the defenders on the opposite side would think so highly of him that they even used heavy artillery to greet this group.
In the order of the Japanese army, they belong to the cannon fodder team.
Moreover, when Ryo Ueda heard the sound of the shells whizzing through the air, he knew that it was a heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 150 mm. He couldn't believe it even more. In his memory, the entire Chinese Central Army only had 20 people at this time.
Four 150mm Krupp howitzers imported from Germany.
The defenders on the opposite side unexpectedly used dozens of heavy artillery to greet him, which was beyond Ryo Shigeto's surprise.
The heavy artillery bombardment suddenly stopped after five minutes. Without Wang Changqing's instructions, Zheng Xiaoyou waved his hand at the bugler.
"Tick-tock-tock" the passionate charge horn resounded throughout the Sixth Regiment's position.
"kill"
More than 4,000 soldiers jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the Japanese troops who were lying on the ground shivering just a moment ago.
"kill"
Niu Gensheng's Third Company has always been the fastest, and this time was no exception. Just when the surviving Japanese troops got up from the fierce bombing, they were surprised to find that the bayonets and bullets of the defenders on the opposite side were already rushing towards them.
"Da da da"
The charge of Chahar's army always uses automatic firearms to clear the way, followed by bayonets and pistols at the side. This is an old tradition established by Su Tong when he was a militiaman in Duolun.
The 3, 2 and 3 Regiment, which had suffered heavy casualties in the fierce artillery fire, was caught off guard by the 3, 2 and 3 Regiment in the first wave of attacks by the Chongteng Detachment, and was beaten to a pulp by the Sixth Regiment led by Wang Changqing and Zheng Xiaoyou.
I was made dumplings by the Sixth Regiment in front of the position.
"kill"
"bump"
"Da da da da"
The armies of both the Hua and the Japanese were mixed together and fighting to the death, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance what kind of fighting this was. It was clearly a one-sided massacre.
Soldiers armed with Somi and a large number of M1911 pistols will not compete with you for bayonets. That is what fools do. When the soldiers of the 323rd Regiment are still preparing to eject the bullets according to the infantry code and then fight with the bayonets.
, the bullets from the opposite side have already flown over like splashing water.
The power of the submachine gun was infinitely amplified at this time, and the remaining Japanese troops of the 323rd Regiment were ruthlessly swallowed up by the huge waves like a failed chrysanthemum.
"The 324th Regiment of the Baga Hurry up and reinforce the 323rd Regiment." Furious, Ryo Shigeto drew out his command knife and forced the 324th Regiment, which was originally the second wave of attack, to rush towards the 6th Regiment.
"Sosou" Before the 3, 2, and 4 regiments could rush to the front, the familiar whistling sound came from the air again.
"Boom boom boom"
The violent explosion caused the ground to tremble. The division's artillery regiment used artillery fire to blast out a dead isolation zone in front of the 324th Regiment. This made the 324th Regiment who planned to reinforce it a fool, and also let it go for a moment.
The detachment leader Shigeto Ryo, who was still waving his command sword and forcing the 324th Regiment to come forward for reinforcements, was dumbfounded.
They could only watch helplessly as the yellow dots representing the Japanese army in front of them became fewer and fewer, and finally disappeared in the fierce waves.
When the yellow dots representing the Japanese army completely disappeared, Chahar's army retreated equally quickly. They did not hesitate to clean up the battlefield slightly, and then quickly retreated to the position before departure.
“These disgusting Chinese people on Bagaya Road”
The loss of a regiment only half an hour after the attack started made Shigeto Ryo so angry that his hands were shaking with fear. Is this a Chinese army with crude weapons and almost no artillery support? Even among the European powers.
The artillery fire of the army is nothing more than this.
Ryo Shigeto held the command knife in his hand tremblingly and tried to raise it several times, but he put it down helplessly several times. Reason told him that if he sent the remaining troops up, it would only be for the opponent.
The defenders were just delivering food.
"Send a report to Commander Matsui, truthfully report the situation of the battle just now, and then ask for tactical guidance." Finally, Ryo Shigeto, who forced himself to calm down, finally made a difficult decision and kicked the ball to Iwane Matsui.
"The artillery fire of the Nanishina people was extremely fierce. It was all heavy artillery. In less than half an hour, an entire regiment of the Chongteng detachment was shattered." Matsui Iwane asked himself, having been a soldier for decades, he had never seen such an outrageous thing. Even though
No matter how poor the combat effectiveness of the Chongteng detachment is, it is impossible for them to be completely eaten up in half an hour. That is a standard regiment of 3,800 people.
After thinking for a while, Matsui Iwane decisively issued the order to retreat. "We can't continue the attack like this. Order the Chongdou detachment to withdraw immediately. The 16th Division also withdraws. Without the support of heavy artillery and aircraft, we cannot let the imperial soldiers go."
Die."
Matsui Iwane's order was well implemented, and Shigeto's detachment and the 16th Division that were about to come over immediately retreated.
Seeing that the Japanese attack ended in such an anticlimactic end, Hu Lian, who had been observing the battle situation with a telescope in the command post, did not have the slightest intention to laugh at his opponent.
I blow Matsui Iwane so amazingly, I really have two brushes.
Just when Hu Lian was about to call Commander Zhang Zhizhong of the Ninth Army to report the battle situation, Wang Changqing's loud voice came in.
"Master, Master, it's a happy event, a big happy event."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Changqing ran in with a bang.
"I saw it. Isn't it just to wipe out a whole regiment? It's worth your rush to report the good news." Hu Lian glared at Wang Changqing angrily.
"No, it was us who captured the Japanese army's alliance flag."
"Why did you seize the opponent's alliance flag?" Hu Lian's heart skipped a beat. This was a huge achievement. Since Chahar had dealt with the Japanese army, he had only captured one alliance flag. That's it.
In the Battle of Chengde, forty thousand Japanese troops were annihilated without even capturing a single regiment flag. Now they have captured another one. This is of extraordinary significance.
"Bring it to me quickly." Hu Lian, who was calm, couldn't help but lose his temper when he heard the news.
Wang Changqing took out a long tassel-shaped flag from the backpack behind him and placed it on the table. Hu Lian quickly stepped forward and looked at it carefully. Well, there were 16 blood-red rays of light, and the three sides of the military flag were also decorated with
Purple tassels, the top of the wooden painted flagpole, there is a large trihedral gilded flag crown, and the three sides are the 16-petal chrysanthemum pattern embossed emblem of the Japanese Imperial Family. Although this flag has been damaged, most of it is still intact.
, it is indeed the alliance flag of the Japanese army.
"Well done, it is indeed Japan's coalition flag. Wang Changqing, you have made a great contribution now. Please tell me how this flag got into your hands." Hu Lian, who had always been calm, couldn't help but beam with joy.
At this time, Wang Changqing opened his mouth and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. He began to narrate at Hu Lian's urging. During the counterattack just now, the 323rd Regiment Headquarters of the Japanese Army also followed in the middle of the army.
No one expected that the attack that had just been launched would be destroyed by a round of artillery fire from the 102nd Division, and the flag guard team dedicated to protecting the regiment flag would also fall into the metal shells flying everywhere.
Before the Japanese army had time to snatch the military flag over, the Sixth Regiment rushed to the front. Although the Japanese army rushed towards the military flag desperately to snatch it back, they were discovered by Zheng Xiaoyou. The sharp-eyed Zheng Xiaoyou is a man who knows the goods.
It's an intact military flag, there's nothing to say about it, just grab it.
Without saying a word, Zheng Xiaoyou personally led a company with Somi and Garand rifles to build a metal net of death around the military flag to prevent the Japanese army from approaching. It was not until the end of the battle that the Japanese army, which had been exhausted, stopped.
After this crazy scramble, this military flag was finally obtained.
The news that the 102nd Division completely annihilated a Japanese regiment and captured a regiment flag quickly reached the ears of Zhang Zhizhong of the Ninth Army.
"Why did the 102nd Division wipe out a regiment of the Japanese Army and capture a regiment flag?" Zhang Zhizhong was almost dumbfounded when he heard the news.
Unexpectedly, I had already overestimated the combat effectiveness of Chahar's army. If I hadn't arrived first, I would have underestimated it.
