The Kwantung Army applied what they learned
I watched helplessly as my own infantry brigade was massacred by at least a hundred tongues of fire from the East China Field Army position opposite within ten seconds of rushing out of the position...
Within a few seconds, at least half of the nearly a thousand Yellow Army soldiers fell on the charge. The remaining officers and soldiers, because of the impenetrable fire network above their heads, had to lie on the ground, unable to advance or retreat. Brigade Chief of Staff
A look of shock quickly flashed across his face. He asked loudly and turned pale.
"Brigade commander, how is it possible? Didn't the Air Force just report that there are only artillery units of the East China Field Army on the opposite position, and there are no infantry... Then, where did so many machine guns and so many troops come from? Didn't they
They are all heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals..."
"Chief of Staff, haven't you noticed that all the machine guns used by the opponent are light machine guns that are very convenient for battlefield transfer? Besides, the opponent's trench group is so dense, our air force must not miss anything.
It is impossible to investigate everything clearly. It seems that we still underestimate each other too much. The cunning of the East China Field Army is completely beyond our imagination..." the brigade leader replied in a deep voice.
However, just as he finished speaking, a bad premonition appeared in the mind of the brigade commander. Then, under the shocked eyes of the subordinates around him, he exclaimed loudly.
"No, the attacking troops are still in danger. Why are you still dazed? Immediately order the air force to attack and cover the attacking troops for retreat. Don't forget that on the opposite position, the East China Field Army also hides a large number of mortars... Go and convey the order...
..”
In fact, there was no need for the brigade commander to issue an order. When the three bombers on patrol in the air saw the sudden strong firepower from the East China Field Army positions on the ground, big beads of sweat appeared on the heads of these pilots.
.
Because, just a few minutes ago, he clearly informed the ground army troops that there were almost no infantry except artillery on the opposite position. And the fact before them hit them hard like a loud slap.
Their faces made them unable to tell the pain.
Of course, what they are worried about is not this loud slap, but the joint responsibility for the heavy losses of the infantry. The ground is responsible for the attack, and an infantry brigade is still in a dilemma. If this infantry brigade was lost on the battlefield due to its own reconnaissance errors.
So, even if you are a naval pilot and are not deployed by the army, you will still be punished by your superiors because of the anger of the army generals, and you may even be sent to a military court...
Thinking of this, the three pilots immediately pulled down the nose of the aircraft without being greeted, and piloted their fighter planes with a huge roar, preparing to dive and drop bombs on the ground targets.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Several violent bomb explosions sounded like thunder on the battlefield. Suddenly, dozens of light machine guns within the bomb explosion range, as well as dozens of machine gunners, were fired without warning.
He was thrown into the sky by the huge air wave generated by the bomb explosion. Then, under the blow of countless shell fragments, he was torn into pieces, without even a complete body left.
Seeing the few black smoke left on the position, and smelling the strong smell of blood wafting from the gunpowder smoke. On the East China Field Army position, there were machine gunners scattered everywhere who were frantically shooting. The few remaining ones in front of the position had to give up.
The Japanese soldiers took advantage of the second round of bombs before they arrived, carrying the light machine gun with a red barrel in their hands, and rushed towards the nearest bomb hole...
The entire retreat process, in the eyes of the Japanese pilots, was as if it had been rehearsed, and it was astonishing to watch. Because, under the control of three pilots, the three bombers, after circling in a circle, once again visited the sky above the position.
, when they were preparing to drop bombs, the East China Field Army position, which had just been filled with the sound of machine gun fire, instantly became quiet, and not even a single person could be seen.
"Commander of the brigade, the machine gunners of the East China Field Army have retreated. Do you want to order the troops to take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack immediately and seize the forward positions of the East China Field Army in one fell swoop..." Looking at the dense fire net covering the heads of the troops, he instantly
Disappeared completely. The brigade chief of staff, who proposed the entire combat plan, immediately showed an expectant look on his face, and proposed excitedly.
"Baga, didn't you hear clearly the order I just gave? Order the troops to retreat immediately, a retreat..." the brigade commander asked sharply.
Seeing that the chief of staff in front of him still wanted to argue, in his heart, after several failed attacks, the brigade commander, who had developed a faint fear, continued to curse:
"Didn't you see from the battle just now that the East China Field Army's combat methods are endless? Can you guarantee that the retreat of the machine gunners on the opposite side is not brewing another huge conspiracy?
In today's battle, we have lost more than a thousand soldiers because of our carelessness. In any case, we cannot continue to lose like this. Otherwise, all our troops will be lost on the offensive during the day. At night, what else will we get?
The troops went to meet the attack of the East China Field Army..."
"Ha Yi, I will go and convey the order immediately..." Although the chief of staff was very unwilling, under the stern eyes of the brigade commander, he still conveyed the order with a look of helplessness.
On the battlefield, time is life. And for the hundreds of Japanese soldiers still lying in front of the position at this moment, this is even more true. Just when the hundreds of Japanese soldiers heard the sound of retreat, they were just about to get up.
.Hundreds of artillery personnel hidden in the trench group and relocating their positions have already pointed the black muzzles in their hands at the edge of the Japanese forward position, waiting for the retreating Japanese troops to surrender...
The hundreds of imperial soldiers who had successfully retreated to the edge of the position and were about to return to the position were instantly enveloped in the thick smoke generated by the explosion of the artillery shell...
The mood of defeat caused by the consecutive failures of several attacks and the heavy losses of the troops pervaded the Japanese positions for more than an hour before slowly dissipating with the arrival of reinforcements.
In the former enemy headquarters of the Japanese army, the brigade commander and his subordinates were sitting in their seats with solemn faces, listening to the battle report just compiled by the chief of staff...
"Brigade Commander, everyone, after statistics, our entire brigade, plus an infantry regiment that has just been reinforced, totals more than 11,000 soldiers. After two consecutive days and nights of fighting, so far, only
There were less than 5,500 combatable troops. Among them, all artillery units, except some mortar units, all mountain running and infantry artillery units were lost..."
"In addition, from several consecutive attacks this morning, we can find that since the East China Field Army on the opposite side changed its tactics, our counterattack forces, even if they have absolute air superiority and artillery superiority, will not be able to defeat the East China Field Army's dense trench group.
, and can't get any benefits..." The chief of staff, with a frustrated look on his face, reported in a low voice.
"Okay, the Chief of Staff has already said what he should say. If you have any opinions about our army's next deployment, please tell us..." The consecutive defeats made the brigade commander look extremely tired. Staff
As soon as the commander finished speaking, the brigade commander asked with a helpless look.
Unexpectedly, when all the subordinates were silent, the captain of the Colonel Corps, who had just arrived for reinforcements, first broke the silence of the headquarters and spoke to everyone.
"Commander of the brigade, from the introduction just now, I believe that in the face of the new tactics of the East China Field Army, it is obviously impossible for our army to launch a counterattack in a short time. Therefore, in the next adjustments,
We must focus our military on defense..."
"Since the trench group of the East China Field Army is almost indestructible in terms of defense, then why can't we apply what we have learned. Before the East China Field Army launches a counterattack at night, our army's position should be built like the trench group of the East China Field Army.
…..”
For a moment, two different opinions appeared in the entire conference room. Except for a small number of people who still held the idea that the Imperial Japanese Army was invincible and opposed this suggestion. In today's battle, the Japanese army fully realized the advantages of this position.
Some officers agreed without hesitation.
"Yo Xi, this suggestion from Mr. Zhongshan is very good. Chief of Staff, immediately order the engineering troops to build a position of the same size on our army's position according to the trench group model of the East China Field Army. It must be completed before dark. Otherwise, it must be completed.
, engaged in military law..."
"In addition, all combat units are notified. Except for a few security units, the remaining units will immediately rest and recuperate to prepare for more fierce battles at night.
"Third, call the Air Force to carry out continuous bombing and strafing of the East China Field Army positions. If the target is found, it must be cleared..."
"Fourth, report to the Supreme Headquarters and request the headquarters to immediately replenish our department with light and heavy machine guns, mortars, grenades and corresponding ammunition. The headquarters will replenish us as much as it can..."
The opinions were unified. The brigade leader's face once again showed a serious look, and he ordered very decisively.
"Ha Yi, your Excellency, the brigade commander is wise..." all the subordinates replied in unison. Even everyone's faces regained their confidence because of the brigade commander's order...
