Chapter 116: Seeing Night Attack Again (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
Speaking of today's battle, Su Rui also saw the power of the old Japanese army. Although the 300 Brigade occupies the advantage of location and weapons, under the precise shooting of the Japanese army, even with the cover of fortifications, the 300 Brigade
Today's casualties have reached nearly a thousand. Together with the losses last night, the 300 Brigade has suffered more than 2,000 casualties, which is already one-third of the combat personnel of the 300 Brigade.
Thinking of this, Su Rui felt distressed. There was a big difference between fighting the Japanese army in an open area and street fighting in a narrow place like Nanjing City. Although he had taken advantage of the fortifications, he suffered casualties.
It's still so big. No wonder it fought for eight years in history. In the end, Japan only signed the surrender agreement with the help of two atomic bombs dropped by the Yankees. The combat effectiveness of emotional people is really not something to brag about.
Su Rui thought for a while and said to Pang Bingxun: "Sir Pang, now I have a plan to act with your department. I wonder if you are interested?"
When Pang Bingxun heard this, he quickly asked: "Oh, brother Zhongxin, have you thought of any good ideas?"
Suri smiled and said two words softly, "Night attack!"
"Night attack? You want to conduct a night attack on the Japanese?"
Pang Bingxun's eyes widened and he looked at Su Rui in surprise and said: "Brother Zhongxin, you have to think clearly. Although the Japanese suffered heavy losses today, they are not something we can easily shake. If the attack does not go smoothly, even if we want to
Even if we cannot evacuate, Linyi will be in danger!"
As soon as Su Rui said that he would launch a night attack on the Japanese army, not to mention Pang Bingxun, even Liang Zhi behind Su Rui was surprised. Su Rui's plan can be said to be a desperate one, leaving no trace for himself.
retreat.
You must know that even though the Japanese army suffered heavy losses today, its total strength is still more than 10,000. The strength of the national army and the Japanese army are only roughly the same. They use the same strength to attack the Japanese army. This is not possible at the beginning of the war.
There has never been any precedent.
It should be noted that since the Meiji Restoration, Emperor Meiji has listed "expanding territory and spreading power in all directions" as Japan's basic national policy, hoping to solve the current situation of Japan's small territory and lack of resources. In 1871, Japan implemented centralization and founded
He established a new type of army and began to implement militarism, and China became his experimental subject.
In 1874, troops were sent to invade Taiwan to test expansion. At this time, the Qing Empire was already old and suffering from the destruction and ravages of Britain and France.
After that, Japan launched many wars, with the ultimate goal of annexing China.
After so many years of preparations, the Japanese government and the military agree that in terms of combat effectiveness, one Japanese soldier at this time can already deal with five Chinese soldiers. Therefore, the Japanese army has always used a brigade in formulating combat plans.
Let’s calculate the proportion of one division in China.
Of course, the national army itself will not destroy its prestige in this way, but it is certain that the senior officials of the national army will formulate the combat plan according to the ratio of three to one. Therefore, today Suri only has one brigade of troops.
Just giving such a heavy blow to the Sakagaki Division was enough to surprise Pang Bingxun. Now he actually wanted to use all his troops to sneak attack the Japanese camp. This can no longer be described as bold.
Liang Zhi, who was behind Su Rui, had a second thought and guessed what Su Rui was thinking. The battle had only been fought for one day, and the casualties of the 300 brigade had reached an astonishing one-third. Such a high casualty ratio was three.
It's something Bailu can't bear.
Although he has not been with the 300 Brigade for a long time, based on what Liang Zhi has observed, it can be seen that the effort and energy Su Rui has invested in this unit is simply too great. The infantrymen are all equipped with Garand rifles.
MP38 submachine gun, M2 heavy machine gun and MG34 general machine gun.
Recently, an artillery battalion and an air defense battalion were formed. There are six M1 105mm howitzers that are rare even for the most elite Central Army of the Chinese Army, as well as twenty-two 40mm Bofors.
Anti-aircraft artillery. It can be said bluntly that this kind of firepower is comparable to that of the national army. The most important thing is that these equipment are not allocated by the government, but obtained by Suri through his own channels. This is the most important thing.
What makes Liang Zhi feel admirable and strange.
Therefore, in Liang Zhi's conjecture, Su Rui was never willing to spend all his efforts on such an army, so tonight Su Rui would put all his efforts into a gamble. Either a big victory or a big defeat.
And return.
"This... the risk is too great. What if Linyi is defeated? Who will defend it?" Pang Bingxun had a look of hesitation on his face, "And I'm loyal, brother, and I won't hide it from you either.
The superiors have been coveting my army for a long time. They have wanted to annex this little bit of my property several times. If it weren’t for my cleverness, my little bit of property would have been gone long ago, so you have to understand me.
How I feel."
When Su Rui heard this, he nodded sympathetically. After all, the Central Army's annexation of the miscellaneous armies has become an instinct, and the miscellaneous armies are no less wary of the Central Army than they are of the Japanese. After all, the army is where they live.
The fundamentals are that they are nothing without the army.
"It seems that Bing Zuo is not very qualified as a lobbyist." Liang Zhi shook his head secretly, "If that's the case, what if I help Bing Zuo make things more difficult?"
Thinking of this, Liang Zhi stood up and said: "Sir Pang, please forgive me for being more polite. We and the Japanese have two shoulders to carry one head. Our military strength is no less than that of the Japanese. Why can't we beat the Japanese?"
Caught off guard? If we can defeat the Fifth Division in front of us, we will show off our face this time. I think Chairman Chiang will never dare to mention the dismantling of the Third Army again, right?"
Liang Zhi's words spoke to Pang Bingxun's heart. If he could defeat the Fifth Division and achieve a great victory, he and the Third Army would be famous among the military and civilians across the country. At that time, Chairman Chiang would like to annex
Your own troops also need to see if they have such a good mouth.
But this is obviously a gamble. The bet is whether the fifth division can be defeated in one fell swoop tonight. Can he trust this young brigade commander?
He looked up at Su Rui's smiling face, and then at the chief of staff behind him with a face that never changed. Pang Bingxun gritted his teeth, slapped his thigh and drank in a low voice: "Okay, since my loyal brother can sacrifice his life.
If you come to bet on this game, then there is nothing that I, old Pang, can’t bear to do, and I will fight with the little devil!”
Seeing that Pang Bingxun agreed to his proposal, Su Rui was overjoyed: "Okay, Chief Pang is indeed a happy person. Let's vote tonight!"
The bright stars hang in the sky, and the gentle moonlight like water gently covers the hillside. The south wind blows briskly across the hills, and the branches and leaves of the shrubs rustle and sway in the wind. Not a single tree has been blown down.
The leaves of broad-leaved shrubs are full of dew, reflecting the moonlight and giving off a bright brilliance.
It was already early in the morning... forty-five minutes. Most of the Japanese troops who had fought hard for a day had fallen into a deep sleep. Only a few Japanese troops were patrolling around.
It has to be said that the Fifth Division is worthy of being one of Japan's seventeen standing divisions, and its vigilance is quite good. Teams of patrols responsible for defense are constantly patrolling the camp, and all checkpoints that should be placed are posted.
No less, this also made the top soldier who was originally responsible for dealing with the sentry scratch his head.
The people responsible for solving the Japanese outposts this time were Bai Jingran, a dozen of his former subordinates from the Central Training Brigade, and more than a hundred selected elite soldiers who were good at handling the situation.
It was helpless to let a high-ranking lieutenant colonel do such a job. The time it took for Su Rui's troops to form an army was too short, and there were too few talents who could do such a job. After counting, Bai Jingran was the only one who could do such a job.
The tactical instructor of the teaching brigade is most suitable.
Looking at the silent distance, Pang Bingxun next to Su Rui said with some worry: "Brother Zhongxin, is this possible? If the Japanese are alerted, we will have to change the sneak attack into a strong attack, and the price will be high.
"
"Don't worry, Commander Pang. This Captain Bai turned out to be a top student who returned from studying in Germany. He has long been very familiar with such trivial matters as touching whistles." Although he was also worried, Su Rui still insisted on helping Pang Bingxun.
Cheer up.
Time passed bit by bit, and the hands of the watch on Su Rui's wrist had already pointed to 4:23. Finally, three low "Puff" sounds came from the radio station in front of Su Rui.
The sound came, and a relieved smile appeared on Suri's face. If the sneak attack failed, they could only launch a strong attack. In this case, God knows how many casualties they would have to pay to attack the Japanese military camp.
"Okay! Commander Bai and the others have succeeded. Order the frontline troops to follow immediately."
Suri secretly thought: It seems that although the 11th Regiment was attacked once last night, the old devil Seishiro Sakagaki still didn't take warning, so don't blame him for visiting again tonight.
Since the 398th Regiment suffered too many casualties during the blocking attack today, Li Yifeng's 399th Regiment took the lead tonight.
Tonight happens to be the 16th, and the moonlight is still relatively bright. The movement of thousands of soldiers bending forward and slowly advancing together is quite loud. Watching a large black shadow disappearing forward under the moonlight
, Su Rui's heart was in her throat. If a Japanese soldier who was in urgent need of urination in the middle of the night came out at this time, he would definitely find this large group of people outside, and it would be lively by then.
Fortunately, none of what Su Rui was worried about happened. As the 399th Regiment moved to the Japanese position, Su Rui raised the signal gun high and pulled the trigger again and again.
Red flares are rising on the plain. The blooming flares emit dazzling red light clusters, slowly floating in the night...
