Four hundred and twentieth eight chapters 109 division was surrounded
Chapter 428: The 109th Division is surrounded
"Baga, order all aircraft to retreat immediately...retreat immediately and get out of the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft firepower range..." The captain, who was forced to have no choice but to give the order to retreat. However, when he took the remaining aircraft and left,
When he reached the firepower range of the air defense force, he was shocked to find that the 36 aircraft he brought with him were now less than one-third of what they were when the reinforcements were sent. More importantly, the remaining 11 aircraft
Two of the planes were seriously injured, and I don’t know if they can fly back to Shijiazhuang Airport...
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is so cunning that it has concealed so many anti-aircraft weapons, Bagaya Road..." Looking at an aviation brigade that had lost most of it and was almost losing its combat capability. The captain almost wanted to cry without tears.
He cursed loudly into the microphone to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Hi, Captain, please tell me if the troops will return immediately. The fuel we carry is almost running out. If we don't return immediately, we will not be able to return to Shijiazhuang Airport..." However, less than half a minute passed.
The voice of the vice-captain came from the earphones which were still silent.
"Nani..." After listening to the deputy captain's report, the captain quickly looked at the indicator light in front of him. Sure enough, the plane had only the amount of fuel left for the return flight. If it did not return immediately, the aviation group would have only the remaining fuel.
The planes may all crash in the end, and the entire army may be in danger of being destroyed.
"Baga, order all squadrons to return immediately, return immediately..." In his heart, the captain scolded the cunning Eighth Route Army. Without any hesitation, he immediately spoke to the microphone next to his mouth.
Each squadron commander issued the order to return home.
"Buzz buzz..." A huge roar sounded, and the remaining planes of the Japs quickly circled over the heads of the soldiers. Under the leadership of the Japanese captain, they flew back towards Shijiazhuang.
"Long live...Long live...Long live..." Looking at the Japanese aircraft disappearing from his field of vision, at the foot of the mountain, several aircraft crashed and exploded, and the wreckage of the aircraft was still burning with raging flames. On various air defense positions, the sound was heard immediately.
He used the soldiers' roars to vent their excitement...
"Correspondent, report the victory to Commander Wang immediately, and report the results and losses of our air defense force..." Feeling the excitement of the soldiers. The top commander of the entire air defense force, the political commissar of the military air defense brigade Liu Hao was also full of excitement.
. He ordered loudly to the communications staff officer behind him. At the same time, he handed the battle report he had just calculated into the hands of the communications staff officer behind him.
"Yes, political commissar, I will send the report right away..." The communications staff officer took the battle report and ran towards the air defense force command post with excitement on his face...
At this moment, the commander of the third division, Wang Nanhu, and the political commissar Chen Revolutionary were standing in the mountains about ten miles away from the artillery position, looking at the fierce air battle with unblinking eyes. With the losses,
The heavy Japanese aircraft fled towards Shijiazhuang in embarrassment. Several people were stunned and couldn't believe their eyes...
In their eyes, the Japs' planes are almost impossible for their troops to defeat. This is because every time the troops encounter the Japs' planes, they either fly into the mountains quickly or are bombarded by the Japs' planes.
The two regiments of the air defense brigade suffered heavy losses due to the bombing. Today, the two regiments of the air defense brigade beat up an entire aviation brigade. They suffered heavy losses and eventually fled. This had to shock these infantry commanders.
He was surprised and shocked by the combat effectiveness of the air defense force, and at the same time he was proud of having such a powerful force in his military region.
"Report to the Commander, the victory telegram from the political commissar of the air defense brigade..." Just as a few people were stunned, the communications staff of the military division headquarters, holding a telegram, ran to several people with excitement on his face, and shouted loudly
reported.
"Haha, Old Chen, political commissar Wang is very fast. Just after the battle, the victory telegram came. However, I like this style. Staff Zhang, read..." Looking at the excited communications officer in front of him,
, Commander Wang Nanhu smiled at the political commissar Chen Revolutionary next to him and ordered loudly.
"Yes, Commander, Political Commissar... According to statistics, the two regiments of our air defense brigade, after half an hour of heroic fighting, achieved great results of shooting down 25 Japanese aircraft and damaging 2 aircraft. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Commander Wang and Chen
The political commissar reported victory. At the same time, our air defense brigade lost a total of 26 heavy machine guns and 6 anti-aircraft machine guns in this battle, 128 soldiers were sacrificed, and 59 were seriously injured. Wang Hao, political commissar of the military region’s air defense brigade..."
"Okay, good fight. I'll call Political Commissar Wang back immediately to congratulate them on such a great victory. At that time, I will personally ask the commander for credit. At the same time, I will order the New Regiment and the New Second Regiment to help the soldiers of the air defense brigade.
, transfer the wounded and various heavy equipment, and call back immediately..." As the telegram finished, every commander around him flushed with excitement.
Up to this moment, the encirclement and annihilation battle between the entire three divisions against the Japanese 14th Division has officially come to an end. As for the Japanese 14th Division, it has completely completed its journey in the hands of the independent division.
It became a piece of history for the Japanese generals. However, just when the Japanese 14th Division was completely destroyed, the more than 20,000 troops assembled on the plateau of the Second Division also advanced at the same time and encountered almost no resistance.
The Japanese 109th Division launched a fierce attack. Another huge battle started in the vast mountains of northern Shanxi...
As more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers from the 109th Division rushed into the mountains with a large amount of heavy equipment. As the commander-in-chief of the entire campaign, Commander Gao Yuan of the Second Division did not hesitate at all.
The order to encircle the troops was immediately issued. As a result, after the entire main division of the Japanese army entered the mountains, there were gradually more than 20,000 Eighth Route Army troops surrounding them.
A huge encirclement formed. And this encirclement slowly became smaller as time passed.
However, the actions of the more than 20,000 troops could not be hidden from the eyes of the nearly a thousand little Japanese soldiers in the cavalry regiment directly under the Japanese division. Just when the entire encirclement was first formed, the cavalry patrolling and guarding around the entire division
The regiment discovered something unusual. After expanding the scope of the investigation, he was surprised to find that his 109th Division was completely surrounded by countless Eighth Route Army troops.
"Your Excellency, the division commander, there is an emergency..." After receiving this shocking news, the captain of the cavalry regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki, did not dare to neglect anything. He immediately came to the division commander, Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigetsu, in the shortest possible time.
, replied with a look of panic.
"Baga, it's not right for you to be a soldier. As a mid-level and senior officer in the empire, you even forgot the most basic military salutes for soldiers. Baga Road..." He was panic-stricken when he saw him in front of him, and he couldn't help but speak.
The commander of the cavalry regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki, who even forgot to salute, and the division commander immediately asked with an angry look on his face.
"Hi, your Excellency, Division Commander, please forgive me. I will pay attention next time. During the investigation, our cavalry regiment discovered a large number of Eighth Route Army troops around us. Now these Eighth Route Army troops are quickly encircling our main division.
.According to reconnaissance, our 109th Division has been heavily surrounded by the Eighth Route Army..." Looking at the angry-faced division commander in front of him, Lieutenant Commander Yamazaki replied quickly.
"Nani, there are a large number of Eighth Route Army troops. Our army has been surrounded by the Eighth Route Army... Yamazaki-kun, you are right, our 109th Division has more than 20,000 elite Imperial Army soldiers, and it also carries a large number of heavy equipment.
Equipment, does the Eighth Route Army have the appetite to fight like this and eat my entire division?" After hearing the answer from Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki, the commander of the cavalry regiment, the face of the division commander, Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigehou, immediately showed disbelief.
look in his eyes. Then, he asked Lieutenant Commander Yamazaki of the Cavalry Regiment in front of him with a suspicious look on his face.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander, I guarantee with my honor as a soldier that what I just said is absolutely true. Now our army has been heavily surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. According to preliminary investigation, there are at least 30,000 Eighth Route Army troops around me.
The size of the human body, please think twice, Division Commander, and make a decision quickly..." Seeing the doubtful expression on the face of the Division Commander, Lieutenant Commander Yamazaki knew that every second of delay now puts his 109th Division in crisis.
Just add one more.
However, regarding the assurance given by the captain of the cavalry regiment in front of him, Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigeho, as the division commander, did not immediately express his position. Instead, he quietly fell into thinking, completely ignoring the anxious look on the cavalry regiment's face at this moment.
Lieutenant General Yamazaki, the team leader. However, at this moment, there is no time for Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigehou to think. Because at this moment, two heavy artillery regiments and a divisional artillery regiment are assembled, with a total of nearly a hundred various heavy artillery pieces.
The cluster was ready to fire at any time, waiting for Commander Gaoyuan's order to be issued.
"Start shelling..." After learning that his troops had completed the encirclement of the Japanese army, Gao Yuan, as the commander-in-chief of the entire campaign, knew that if the shelling was not carried out now, the effect of the shelling would be lost after the Japanese army reacted and dispersed.
It would be much different. Thinking of this, Gao Yuan decisively gave the order to fire.
"Woooooo..." Because the artillery cluster was located a few kilometers away along the highway, the little Japanese soldiers walking on the road did not notice anything about the sound of the artillery shells being fired. However, the sound of the artillery shells streaking across the sky was not heard.
The huge whistling sound reached the ears of these little devils in an instant.
"Baga, it's an artillery attack...the artillery attack from there, and it's a heavy artillery...boom, boom, boom..." Just when the little devils were at a loss as they listened to the whistling sound getting closer and closer in the sky. More than a hundred heavy artillery shells
The shells had accurately hit the road that stretched for nearly ten kilometers, making loud explosions. The stunned little devils lost their lives in this huge explosion...
"Division Commander, please take cover immediately. There has just been a shelling. According to observations, there are at least nearly a hundred heavy artillery pieces of various types..." Until this moment, as the chief of staff of the division, he heard a huge explosion coming from the road in front and behind him.
He finally believed the words of the commander of the regiment in front of him, Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki. Then, he quickly reminded the division commander beside him who also reacted from the shock.
"Yamazaki-kun, thank you for your reminder. If it weren't for your reminder, our 109th Division might really be in danger of being wiped out this time. Kurashige-kun, convey my order immediately, and the 69th Regiment will be on the scene immediately.
Occupy the commanding heights around you, and no matter what, you must block the possible attack of the Eighth Route Army. The 107th Regiment and the 119th Regiment immediately assemble to the 109th Artillery Regiment, occupy all the high ground around the artillery regiment, and protect the artillery regiment. The artillery regiment
The 136th Regiment and the Engineer Regiment built an artillery position on the spot and prepared for counterattack. The 136th Regiment organized a defense on the spot two kilometers behind the artillery position and must block the possible attack of the Eighth Route Army...immediately convey the order..." Faced with
Faced with the constant sound of explosions around him and the kind reminder from the chief of staff, the division commander, Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka, did not panic at all, but issued a series of orders rationally.
In this way, although the dense artillery shells fired by the artillery cluster continued to kill and injure the effective force of the Japanese army in the mountains, at the command of the division commander, the entire Japanese division of more than 20,000 people was immediately divided into
Third, the finished glyph layout is intertwined with each other. And in the shortest time, a complete fortification was built, ready to be defended...
At the same time, with the cooperation of the engineering troops, the 109th Mountain Artillery Regiment, which had completed the construction of artillery positions, immediately found the Eighth Route Army's targets based on the trajectory of the artillery shells in the sky under the orders of the division commander.
Artillery position, ready to fire back.
However, what Lieutenant Commander Kurosawa Masami of the artillery regiment did not expect was that in order to prevent its artillery positions from being destroyed at once, the Eighth Route Army actually scattered nearly a hundred artillery pieces in ten different positions, leaving the regiment commander with no choice at all.
Which artillery position should be attacked first?
However, under the constant urging of the division commander, the regiment commander was forced to issue the order to fire. However, in order to better concentrate the limited firepower and destroy a large number of the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions, the regiment commander finally decided to concentrate all
The artillery fire knocked out the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions one by one. Because he believed that only by concentrating artillery fire with a sufficient density could it be possible to complete the task of destroying the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions in the shortest possible time. However, he forgot,
Just as he was firing, his artillery position was immediately exposed. At the same time, what he had to face was not dozens of artillery pieces, but an artillery cluster composed of nearly a hundred artillery pieces.
"Boom, boom, boom..." A roar sounded, and the 36 105 heavy mountain guns on the entire artillery position roared at the same time. In an instant, the entire artillery position was completely enveloped by a large amount of white smoke generated by the shelling. And each small one
The Japanese artillerymen, shirtless, reloaded the shells as fast as they could in front of the artillery pieces and started a new round of firing.
However, they did not know that they might only be able to fire these few rounds of artillery shells in their lives. At the moment when the Japanese artillery regiment opened fire, the artillery observers at the forefront had already measured the
Design Zhu Yuan reported the specific locations of the Japanese artillery positions to the commanders of each artillery group.
As a result, as the Japanese artillery counterattack began, nearly a hundred artillery pieces of the Eighth Route Army suddenly stopped unexpectedly. One by one, the artillery began to adjust the design angle of the artillery according to the latest shooting data. And the whole process was just
After less than a minute, nearly a hundred artillery pieces were all ready to fire...
"Boom, boom, boom..." A huge roar sounded, and nearly a hundred artillery pieces that had just stopped for less than a minute once again let out a thundering roar. Nearly a hundred artillery pieces located in different directions simultaneously fired heavy-duty artillery pieces one after another. The shells were fired at the location of the Japanese artillery regiment...
A huge explosion sounded on the Japanese artillery position. The little Japanese who had just destroyed an artillery group of the Eighth Route Army were about to turn their guns and fire shells at the second artillery group. The overwhelming artillery fire had already swept in. Before the little devils could react from the shock, they were thrown high into the sky by the fierce artillery fire and turned into cold corpses or piles of minced meat.
While the artillery received a large number of casualties, the 36 heavy artillery were not much better. Amidst the huge explosions, one after another, the heavy artillery, driven by the huge air waves, broke away from the cannon one after another. It fell crookedly to the ground. What's more, the artillery that was directly hit turned into a pile of primitive parts...
"Baga...my artillery regiment...finished...finished..." Looking in front of him, just one round of artillery counterattack by the Eighth Route Army turned his artillery position into ruins. At the same time, more than half of the artillery was exploding. Amid the sound, it was impossible to continue firing. More importantly, the artillerymen who had worked so hard to train immediately fell into chaos amid the dense explosions...
"BaGeYa Road, don't be confused, move immediately. Hurry up, move the remaining dozen artillery positions immediately, otherwise, they will all die..." Looking at the artillery unit that has fallen into chaos. Lieutenant Colonel Kurosawa Shozo, the commander of the regiment, couldn't help but draw out his command sword. After cutting down two panicked artillerymen to establish his authority, he roared loudly at the chaotic crowd...
