Chapter 974: The Doomsday of the 63rd Division of Yushan
Head straight to the main peak of Yushan Mountain
Seeing the strong combat effectiveness displayed by the Chinese Army on the battlefield, and seeing the horrified subordinates behind him... Lieutenant General Ikeda was shocked, and at the same time, the anger in his heart also surged.
He rushed to his heart and roared loudly at the useless subordinates in front of him.
"Baga, what are you still doing? Although the Chinese ** team broke through the defense line, it only opened a breach. Our main force still exists. Order all troops to attack immediately and make sure to block this gap. Order the engineering unit
, Baggage Regiment, Division Guard Squadron, attack immediately, must break into the squadron behind the position and annihilate them all. Go and convey the order immediately..."
"Ha Yi..." Dozens of officers quickly followed the order and left.
For a time, the entire division headquarters became chaotic in the blink of an eye due to sudden changes and orders. At the same time, more than 10,000 little devils who had received orders on the entire battlefield were fighting desperately as if they were desperate for their lives.
Launched one round after another of harassing attacks on the Chinese ** troops that had broken through the defense line, in an attempt to delay the troops' offensive pace.
Lieutenant General Ikeda's order was very reasonable for the Japanese army at this moment. However, what he didn't know was that the mission of Li Shengda's regiment was not to eliminate his main division, but to quickly break through through continuous attacks.
His line of defense went straight to the Kwantung Army's highest headquarters at the main peak of Yushan Mountain.
"Commander, a breakthrough has been made. The Second Battalion has broken through the Japanese position..." When receiving the victory telegram from the Second Battalion, the excited voice of the correspondent rang out on the battlefield under heavy artillery fire...
However, before the group leader Li Shengda had time to rejoice over the good news, another correspondent rushed over panting. However, judging from his face, what he brought was definitely not good news.
"The regimental commander, Commander Yang of the First Battalion, reported that the surrounding Japanese troops were going crazy and launched a deadly attack on our covering troops. In addition, one kilometer in front of the position, a large number of Japanese logistics troops were rushing towards the battlefield. The target
Aiming directly at the first battalion that broke through the Japanese defense line..."
"The stupid little devil's reaction is quite fast. However, no matter how fast the reaction speed is, it can't be faster than our attack speed. Isn't it just a few thousand logistics baggage? It's not a big deal. Order, the second battalion leaves one behind
Company, hold the gap. The remaining two companies continue to attack forward and defeat the Japanese logistics troops coming to the battlefield for reinforcements."
"The baggage company will immediately send all the mines carried by the army to the 1st Battalion. Commander Yang of the 1st Battalion is ordered to immediately lead the troops to break away from contact with the Japanese army, use landmines to slow down the Japanese attack speed, and move closer to the main force of the regiment."
"Order the Third Battalion, regimental security company, artillery battalion and all other troops to follow closely behind the Second Battalion, highlight the Japanese position, and launch an attack on the main peak of Yushan..."
After a flurry of orders, the entire Li Shengda regiment began to move quickly.
Thousands of Japanese logistics troops looked overwhelming from a distance, as if a single charge could swamp the remaining 500 people of the Second Battalion. However, when the second battalion's overwhelming bullets, grenades, and artillery shells fell on them
.Logistics soldiers who have not received real infantry training immediately reveal their most primitive nature...
Seeing dozens of comrades-in-arms, they were chatting and laughing with me just now... In the blink of an eye, they fell into a pool of blood and turned into corpses under the rain of bullets. What's more, they were directly killed by the dense The shrapnel caused the body to become bloody, or the limbs were missing...
Smelling the increasingly thick smell of blood and gunpowder smoke in the air, the Japanese logistics soldiers who were suddenly hit were immediately stagnant. The speed of the charge also slowed down due to their hesitant movements. However, the Japanese army's reaction was not only It did not win the sympathy of the soldiers of the Second Battalion, but instead further stimulated their desire to kill the enemy.
As a result, bullets and artillery shells became even denser, overwhelmingly attacking the astonished Japanese attacking formation...¨
There was no artillery cover, not even light and heavy machine guns, and few support troops. Even though the number of troops was several times that of the Second Battalion.
However, in terms of firepower, there is no comparison at all. The orderlies caused at least a thousand casualties...
Seeing the corpses of nearly a thousand comrades stacked up in front of him, and seeing the squadron more than a hundred meters away, which he could not approach at all, the little Japanese was completely frightened and never continued to charge. Courage. Under the leadership of their respective commanders, like frightened rabbits, they quickly withdrew from the fire range of the second battalion...
The 1st Battalion, already weakened by two consecutive attacks, had only two infantry companies left in total strength. At this moment, as the iron-blooded defender covering the entire regiment's forward attack, it was obvious that it had once again become the main force of the Japanese army. The target of the attack. For a time, the fragile defense line of the entire battalion gradually became shaky in the face of the ubiquitous attacks of thousands of Japanese elites, even with the support of advanced weapons...
"Battal Commander, Captain Wang of the Baggage Company is here..." Battalion Commander Yang Xindong, whose face was filled with smoke, led the guard platoon directly under the battalion headquarters and shuttled back and forth between the positions, constantly filling the gaps in the defense line caused by the Japanese attack. At that moment, the reminder from the personal guard around him reached his ears.
Seeing the increasingly fierce fighting in front of him, Battalion Commander Yang Xindong's eyes were red. Wang Guangyu, the baggage company, did not hesitate and directly stated the purpose of his trip...
"Batalion Commander Yang, on the order of the regiment commander, I have brought you all the mines in the entire regiment. In addition, the regiment commander asked the first battalion to immediately break away from contact with the Japanese army and use the mines to slow down the Japanese attack speed. Then, following the main force, Launch an attack on the main peak of Yushan..."
"Great... Our battalion is saved. Correspondent, immediately notify the three company commanders to come and seize the mines and prepare for retreat. Hurry..."
Directly opposite the Japanese position of the 1st Battalion, the highest commander of the Japanese army, Colonel Chengtian, was furious at a group of officers of squadron level and above in front of him. Seeing that he had almost the strength of an infantry regiment, it took him a full ten minutes to Still unable to break through the fragile defense line of a battalion of the Chinese ** Corps. As the captain of the regiment, Colonel Chengtian could only vent his growing anger on the subordinates in front of him.
At this moment, a squadron leader who was standing on the front line rushed over panting. Regardless of the livid face of the commander in front of him, he spoke directly and gave way to several subordinates who were suffering from anger. They couldn't help but relax. In one breath….
"Captain, the Chinese ** team, the Chinese ** team in front seems to be retreating..."
"Nani? Make a retreat..."
Sure enough, just when Colonel Chengtian raised his telescope to observe the enemy's situation, the first battalion, which had quietly buried mines on the position, was withdrawing from the position in an orderly manner and breaking away from its own troops under the command of their respective commanders.
Contact... The division commander ordered that our regiment must stick to this Chinese force no matter what. Therefore, we must not let the Chinese withdraw from the battlefield just like this. What are we still doing? Order the troops immediately
We must hold back this squadron before we launch an attack..." the commander almost roared the order.
The commander of the unit, Colonel Chengtian, vented his anger on these squadron leaders and group captains. These squadron leaders and group captains who were wronged by him, without any surprise, directly transferred the anger in their hearts to ordinary soldiers again.
As a result, thousands of little Japs faced the raging anger of their superiors and the rapidly retreating battalion. They no longer hesitated at all, holding out the sharp bayonets in their hands and howling like beastly beasts.
Like wolves, they launched a group charge towards the retreating battalion...
Thousands of little devils charged with so much momentum that people who didn’t understand thought that these little devils had won the battle and were pursuing the enemy. However, the next scene not only made the charging little devils tremble, but also
Colonel Chengtian, the commander of the rear group, could not help but be so angry that he vomited blood...
"Kill...boom, boom, boom..."
The densely packed Japanese soldiers had just set foot on a battalion's position. Explosions sounded one after another on the battlefield. Huge balls of fire also soared from the middle of the densely packed troops.
"Baga, it's the mines that the Chinese people are so cunning. They actually planted mines on the position. I must kill them..." Seeing hundreds of imperial warriors, in the blink of an eye, they turned into cripples.
Broken limbs and arms. No matter how hard the commander, Colonel Chengtian, endured in his heart, his hands holding the telescope could not help but begin to tremble, and he cursed loudly.
Just as he finished speaking, a lieutenant officer rushed over with a face full of smoke. Then, with a painful look on his face, he reported to Colonel Chengtian in front of him.
"Your Excellency, Captain, the Chinese ** team has laid a large number of landmines on the position. So far, these mines have caused at least 500 casualties to our unit. The team leader requested engineers to reinforce and remove the landmines in front of us...
"
"Demining, by the time the mines are cleared, the squadron has already broken away from contact with us... Artillery, order the artillery to fire immediately and use artillery shells to clear a passage for me..." However, as the commander of the regiment,
While he was angry, he seemed to have forgotten that at this moment, his troops did not have a capable artillery unit at all...¨
As a result, a regiment of elite Japanese soldiers, faced with the blockade of landmines, could only watch the remnants of a battalion slowly disappear in front of them...¨
"Report to the leader of the regiment, the second battalion reports that the troops have successfully defeated the Japanese logistics reinforcements. The first battalion has also broken away from contact with the Japanese army and can quickly move closer to the main force of the regiment..." Faced with good news one after another, the regiment
The chief of staff also had a lucky smile on his face, and reported excitedly.
"Okay, break through the Japanese 63rd Division's blockade, and the main peak of Yushan is completely in front of us... Order, Second Battalion, continue to attack forward, target the Kwantung Army's Supreme Command on the main peak of Yushan... The main force of the regiment will be here immediately
Immediately afterwards, launch an attack on the main peak of Yushan... In addition, notify the air reconnaissance aircraft to detect the specific movements of the Japanese troops around our army. If there are any problems, keep in touch with the radio at any time." Regiment leader Li Shengda ordered with a confident look on his face.
"Yes, leader...¨"
Returning to the headquarters of the Japanese 63rd Division, I saw that my plan was once again shattered in front of the strength of only one regiment of the Chinese Army. As the division commander, Lieutenant General Ikeda, under the blow of a series of failures,
As if he had aged several years in an instant, with a dull expression on his face, he watched the changes on the battlefield in disbelief...
Of course, the latest strategic deployment and specific actions of Li Shengda's regiment were also clearly displayed in front of Lieutenant General Ikeda.
Looking at the position under heavy artillery fire, there were less than 2,000 people left in Li Shengda's regiment. They were like a war machine. They did not break away from the water at all, and quickly broke away from contact with their own troops with lightning speed.
.Then, like an unsheathed sword, he reached the main peak of Yushan Mountain behind him. Wu's look also appeared on his face. It was only at this moment that this veteran who had experienced many battles clearly understood the position.
The real target of the attack on the Chinese ** team was not its own 63rd Division, but the Kwantung Army's highest headquarters behind it.
However, it seems that it is too late for Qing Qing to truly wake up at this moment.
Because he knew that in the face of the blockade of a camp of mine formations, the Yellow Army soldiers who lost their artillery fire, no matter how elite they were, could not withstand the huge consumption of using their lives to fill the mine formations. He could only watch the squadron helplessly.
, stepping on the corpses of his own soldiers on the battlefield, heading towards the main peak of Yushan...
"Bageya Road, the cunning Chinese... ¨The main peak of Yushan Mountain, it turns out that your target is the main peak of Yushan Mountain..."
"Chief of Staff, please send a telegram to the Commander immediately, an urgent telegram. The squadron of a regiment has broken through our defense line and is attacking the headquarters. Please be prepared to defend against the enemy..." Lieutenant General Ikeda
He ordered with a sad look on his face.
"Hayi...division commander, what about us, where are our troops?" the chief of staff asked in a low voice.
"We..." Facing the chief of staff's question and seeing a group of demoralized subordinates behind him, Lieutenant General Ikeda's face was instantly shrouded in vicissitudes. He said helplessly.
"If we fail to stop this squadron, the mission of our 63rd Division will mean failure.
And our opponent, the ** team, will never let go of our imperial elite division that has been beaten to pieces. Therefore, there is only one thing we need to do next, and that is to use all our strength to give
The Chinese ** Corps will use greater damage and the heavy losses of the Chinese ** Corps to restore the honor that belongs to our 63rd Division..."
"Order all troops on the front line, including all staff officers in the headquarters, to prepare for the final decisive battle with the Chinese Communist Party..."
"Hayi..."
Lieutenant General Ikeda was right. As the commander-in-chief of this battle, Liu Hua never intended to let go of the 63rd Division of the Kwantung Army, a veteran division in China that had left countless bloody debts in the three northeastern provinces.
Just when his order was issued, overwhelming artillery shells and bombers, under Liu Hua's personal order, once again came over the heads of the remnants of the 63rd Division...
