Chapter 704 Special Operations Division in Action
In the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Changchun City, the telegram for help sent by Lieutenant General Kageyama was immediately placed in front of General Mizu Umejiro. As the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army, he was facing the northeastern Siping area at this moment.
The sudden counterattack of the field army was not only shocking, but also shocking.
Looking in front of him, after reading the telegram, a full ten minutes had passed, and there was still no movement from the commander. Lieutenant General Toshima Fusotaro, the chief of staff, reminded: "Your Excellency, commander, according to the report of Lieutenant General Kageyama, the meeting
The sudden and violent offensive against the Northeast Field Army caused heavy losses to the troops. The entire Siping area may fall at any time, and we are in urgent need of sending reinforcements. You see..."
"A move on Bage Ya Road really affects the whole body. Immediately send a telegram to Mr. Jingshan and order Mr. Jingshan to hold on for three days. Even if the whole army dies on the battlefield, he must defend Siping for me. At the same time, disperse
The three field divisions in the area around Changchun issued an order. They ordered each field division to assemble immediately. I only gave them three days. After three days, they will immediately send troops to reinforce Siping..." General Mizu Umejiro said very decisively.
commanded.
"Ha Yi, I will go and give the order right away..."
It has to be said that during the war years, in addition to the competition between the military strength of the two sides, there was also a decisive factor, that is, the competition between intelligence. At the Kwantung Army Headquarters, less than half an hour had passed since the troop assembly order was issued.
.The former enemy headquarters located at Meihekou received the latest intelligence from Changchun intelligence personnel.
"Commander-in-Chief, according to the intelligence department's investigation, the three field divisions of the Kwantung Army scattered around Changchun have begun a large-scale assembly. They are preparing to send troops to reinforce the critical Siping City and block our army's offensive..."
"It seems that the offensive commanded by Deputy Chief of Staff Li was very violent. In less than one night, two field divisions of the Kwantung Army were defeated and were forced to ask for help from their headquarters...Commander Wang, call Li immediately
The deputy chief of staff sent a telegram, ordering deputy chief of staff Li to strengthen the offensive and strive to capture Siping City before the Kwantung Army reinforcements arrive. At the same time, I will order the special operations division to slow down the march of the Kwantung Army reinforcements as much as possible.
Tell Deputy Chief of Staff Li to hurry up..." After a brief excitement, Liu Hua ordered very decisively.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."
"One more thing. Immediately send a telegram to Commander Liu Xiaogang of the special operations division operating in the Changchun area. Order the special operations division to use all means to slow down the Japanese army's build-up and reinforcements as much as possible. At the same time, send a message to the Liaoyuan and Jilin areas
Our army sent a telegram, ordering the troops to strengthen their vigilance and be prepared to launch a counterattack at any time..."
The Third Infantry Battalion of the 186th Regiment of the 57th Division of the Kwantung Army suffered more than a week of encirclement and suppression operations against the Special Warfare Division. Although the casualties were not very large, they only lost less than a hundred troops. However, against the Special Warfare Division, the casualties were not very large.
The division's one-week siege made these arrogant little devils experience for the first time what it means to be exhausted...
After receiving the order from the division headquarters to immediately assemble the troops to the division headquarters nearly a hundred miles away, the battalion commander, Major Yoshino, did not dare to show any neglect, quickly assembled the troops, took all the wounded and equipment, and began to march towards the division.
Advance.
However, their every move has not escaped the eyes of nearly a hundred special forces members of the Ninth Company of the Special Operations Division, who have been active around the Third Brigade...
"Company Commander, the little devils have begun to take action... Currently, they are advancing towards their division headquarters in a forced march..." In a dense forest, the scout panted and reported the situation he had just detected to the police.
The company commander in front of me.
"I have also just received an order from the regiment headquarters, asking us to use all means to slow down the Japanese army's concentration as much as possible. We have been frustrated in this forest for several days, and now we finally have something to do.
"Comrades, cheer up and catch up with the little devil..." Company Commander Zhang Jiamin's eyes quickly flashed with a sharp edge, and he gave a very decisive order to the squad and platoon leaders in front of him.
Facing the Japanese troops equipped with a large number of artillery, heavy machine guns and other heavy weapons, nearly a hundred special forces members equipped with only light weapons easily caught up with their combat target in less than twenty minutes.
The 3rd Infantry Battalion of the 186th Regiment of the Kwantung Army.
The battle formation of nearly a hundred special forces members had just reached the same level as the Japs when a special operations member who had been following the Japanese army quietly came to the side of the company commander Zhang Jiamin. Then, he reported in a low voice.
"Company Commander, according to the investigation, there are more than 900 people left in the little Japanese infantry brigade. It is equipped with two infantry cannons, nine mortars and nine heavy machine guns. In terms of heavy firepower, there is basically no loss...
In addition, this is the Japanese marching column that I just reconnoitred, with two infantry squadrons in front and two infantry squadrons in the rear. The infantry artillery squad, mortar squad, heavy machine gun squadron, baggage squad and brigade headquarters are located in the entire march.
Right in the middle of the column..."
"It seems that our opponent, after several days of fighting, has become a lot more cautious and has protected all the heavy equipment of the army. However, if we cannot defeat his heavy equipment, we will attack their ordinary infantry...
The platoon leader took all the mines and went to the front to lay mines in the Xiaowanggou area. The remaining two platoons, plus the heavy fire squad, followed me to the front to ambush. Try to have an ambush and kill at least one squadron of Japs.
"After thinking briefly, company commander Zhang Jiamin gave a very decisive order to all the squad and platoon leaders in front of him.
"Yes, company commander..."
In ten minutes, a simple ambush battlefield was completed. Just as nearly a hundred special operations team members were hiding, the figure of the Japanese vanguard team appeared in everyone's eyes. Following closely behind, the Japanese army stretched for hundreds of people.
Mi's main force came into everyone's sight...
"Boom, boom, boom..." A series of deafening explosions sounded right in front of the Japanese marching column. A series of more than 20 landmines, in just an instant, destroyed a squadron of Japanese troops in front.
The military strength was completely covered.
"Fire..." The explosion of landmines had just stopped. At the foot of the mountain, the rapidly marching Japanese troops had not yet reacted to the shock. The voice of company commander Zhang Jiamin rang on the battlefield. Following closely behind, the troops on both sides of the ravine
On the mountain ridge, a machine gun position composed of dozens of light machine guns immediately spurted out streaks of hot flames.
Dozens of tongues of flame appeared in the sky, immediately beating the dense marching column of the Japanese army to pieces. In less than half a minute, nearly a hundred little Japanese died in the intensive machine gun fire.
And when the little Japs in the ravine fell into chaos in the face of the intensive machine gun fire on the ridge, the special operations team members equipped with a large number of semi-automatic rifles also opened fire in a very timely manner...
Accurate bullets flew out of the barrel of the gun quickly, and then accurately shot into the little devil's chest or head...
After a short and rapid fire attack that lasted for half a minute, apart from the corpses of the little Japanese everywhere on the mountain road, there was no longer a single standing Japanese soldier. At the same time, the Japanese soldiers who had reacted from the shock had already
Under the command of commanders at all levels, a powerful counterattack began.
When he saw nine heavy machine guns equipped by the Japanese army in the ravine, they were quickly set up under the manipulation of nearly a hundred little Japs, preparing for a counterattack. On the ridge, the company commander Zhang Jiamin, who was lying on the ground, knew clearly that in order to avoid
My own company suffered heavy casualties under the fire of the Japanese heavy machine guns. The entire ambush battle was almost over at this point...
"All machine gunners will leave cover and withdraw from the station in one minute. Each squad and platoon will start to retreat now according to the predetermined combat plan. Hurry, the kid's heavy machine gun will react quickly..."
Elite special forces members obey orders unconditionally at all times. As soon as the order from company commander Zhang Jiamin was given, nearly a hundred special forces members armed with semi-automatic rifles quickly put away their weapons without any
Nostalgic, they withdrew from the battlefield in a very orderly manner. During the entire ambush battle, only dozens of machine gunners were left. They used their fastest firing speed to pour a dense rain of bullets into the Japanese positions in the ravine...
"Da da da..." A burst of intensive machine gun fire sounded, and the nine heavy machine guns that the Japanese army had been waiting for for a long time finally screamed happily under the control of the machine gunners. At the same time, the Japanese soldiers who had just been suppressed were lifted up.
The little devil who couldn't afford his head immediately seemed to be on stimulants. He raised the rifle in his hand and, under the cover of the heavy machine gun next to him, roared and rushed out of the position, preparing for a counterattack...
Soon, the little Japanese squadron leader who rushed to the Ninth Company position and found nothing in the end rushed to the front of the battalion leader, Major Yoshino, and reported breathlessly:
"Your Excellency, Captain, the Chinese on the ridge opposite have all retreated during our counterattack. Except for the bullet casings on the ground, we found nothing... According to statistics, in the attack just now, a total of soldiers of our Third Infantry Brigade were killed.
284 people, 87 of whom have lost combat effectiveness due to injuries. Currently, we have 584 combat-ready soldiers left..."….
In the temporary headquarters of the Third Regiment of the Special Forces Division, the regiment commander Li Guotian was looking at the success reports sent by each battalion and company with a smile on his face.
"Political Commissar, judging from the results achieved by each battalion and company, it will take at least five days for the 57th Division of the Kwantung Army to successfully complete the assembly. Moreover, even if they complete the assembly, he will find that before they disperse, he will
There are more than 20,000 people in a reorganized division. At this moment, less than two-thirds of the troops are left..." Li Guotian said with a smile on his face while looking at a stack of battle reports in his hand.
"Commander, let's not talk about this for now. The scouts just came to report that there is a huge fighter plane in front of us again. I don't know if you want to stretch your muscles and give it to the 57th Division of the Kwantung Army to do it again.
Heavy damage..." Regarding the leader's words, the political commissar did not immediately answer, but asked with a wicked smile.
"Um? What's going on?" Li Guotian asked quickly, with a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
"Our scouts discovered the field artillery company of the Japanese 57th Division in a stronghold less than five kilometers away from the regiment headquarters. Dozens of field heavy artillery, large and small, were all placed in the open space of the stronghold. If our third regiment
If you can find a way to destroy these heavy artillery, I can guarantee that even if the 57th Division arrives in Siping, it will not cause any harm to our Northeast Field Army..." the political commissar replied with a look of anticipation.
"The kid's field artillery regiment... is really a piece of fat. Political commissar, the fat that the kid put to our lips, of course we can't let it go. We fought this battle... Immediately ordered the rocket launcher company directly under the regiment headquarters
,The guard company will assemble immediately, the target is the Japanese Field Artillery Regiment..." Li Guotian ordered with an excited look.
Under the cover of the dark night, regiment leader Li Guotian quietly touched the top of a hill less than 500 meters away from the Japanese stronghold. He raised the telescope in his hand and saw that inside the brightly lit Japanese stronghold, the Japanese field artillery regiment,
More than thirty large-caliber artillery pieces covered with gun jackets were neatly placed in the open space in the center of the stronghold...
"The little devil's defense is quite tight, but no matter how tight it is, it can't stop our rockets. Order the rocket launcher company to immediately set up artillery positions. After half an hour, six rounds of rockets were fired at the stronghold. Then, under the guard,
Under the protection of the company, retreat immediately..." After observing the Japanese defense situation of the entire stronghold, Li Guotian's mouth immediately revealed a sneer. Then, he ordered very decisively...
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." A sharp whistle sounded on the artillery position, followed closely by a series of rockets with orange tail flames that quickly flew out of the long barrel. Then,
After drawing a beautiful arc in the sky, it flew towards the Japanese stronghold two kilometers away...
Each rocket launcher and six rockets were fired in less than ten seconds. A total of 54 large-caliber rockets accurately landed in the Japanese army's huge stronghold. Then, in less than ten seconds,
An explosion occurred within minutes. In just an instant, the entire stronghold was completely covered by artillery fire.
However, less than a minute after the first round of explosions ended under the shocked eyes of all the Japanese troops, the second round of shells came one after another. At this moment, the smoke has not completely dissipated.
Inside the store.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Deafening explosions sounded one after another in the Japanese army's garrison store. The more than thirty large-caliber artillery pieces staying in the garrison store only suffered the first round of shells, and were hit by fierce artillery fire.
Completely covered.
Six minutes later, as the last round of rockets took off, they quickly flew towards their target. The artillery position that had fired all the rockets became busy again. A famous gunner quickly fired the rocket launcher in front of him.
Scattered around, then carried them on their shoulders, ready to retreat.
"Commander, all six rounds of rockets have been fired. According to the report of the guard company, the strength of a Japanese infantry brigade is less than one kilometer away from us..." I saw two kilometers away, over the Japanese stronghold, there were already
Completely illuminated by the orange flames, the political commissar reported excitedly.
"Okay, six rounds of shooting, more than 300 large-caliber rockets, enough for the Japanese artillery to drink a pot. Order the rocket launcher company to retreat immediately. The guard company will block the Japanese attack force step by step. After half an hour, withdraw
On the battlefield, rendezvous with the regiment headquarters..." the regiment leader Li Guotian ordered very decisively.
"Yes, leader..."
In one day's operation, the three thousand special operations team members distributed in Changchun used almost all their special skills to attack their combat targets. Although the total strength of the Japanese army was dozens of times that of the special operations division, in the special operations area
Under the attack of the special operations of the combat division, the Kwantung Army troops, which had superior strength and firepower... had almost no room to fight back and could only be passively beaten.
In the enemy headquarters in the east field of Meihekou, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua was frowning, listening to the combat staff in front of him reporting on the specific progress of our army in the direction of Siping.
"Although the 2nd and 3rd armies led by the commander-in-chief and deputy chief of staff launched a very fierce attack on Sipingcheng, the little Japanese trapped in Siping City also refused to retreat. In a day's battle, the enemy and our armies each
There is a winner or lose. According to the report of the deputy chief of staff, the Second Army, under the cover of a large number of siege artillery, suffered 2,000 casualties, but still failed to break through the Japanese city wall defense line. However, after a day of fighting, the Kanto area inside the city
The garrison troops have once again been reduced by more than half. According to the judgment of the deputy chief of staff, the two armies will be able to annihilate all the Kwantung Army troops in the Siping direction at the latest tomorrow night and end the battle in the Siping direction..."
"It seems that the strength of the Kwantung Army's resistance is far beyond our imagination... I hope that the 2nd and 3rd armies can end the fighting in the Siping area before the Japanese reinforcements arrive. Then, concentrate our forces to deal with the new round of the Kwantung Army.
reinforcements. By the way, is there any news about the special operations division?" Liu Hua said thoughtfully.
"Commander-in-Chief, it can be said that the results achieved by the Special Operations Division are beyond our imagination. According to Commander Liu's report, in one day, the Special Operations Division achieved a total of annihilating at least 6,000 enemies. At the same time, the Special Operations Division
The Third Regiment achieved the result of destroying all the artillery of the Field Artillery Regiment of the Japanese 57th Division. The Second Special Operations Regiment achieved the result of destroying all the baggage materials of the Japanese 36th Division's Baggage Regiment. The First Special Operations Regiment achieved the result of destroying the command of a Japanese brigade.
Department, the result of killing a major general brigade commander..." Speaking of the special operations division, Staff Wang's face immediately showed a thick smile. He reported excitedly to Liu Hua in front of him.
"Haha, Liu Xiaogang fought well. The special warfare division is worthy of being my sharp-edged force in Dongye..." Liu Hua couldn't help but admire.
