On October 7, 1927, the R Army finally couldn't bear it anymore. They dispatched a vanguard force of 1,800 people from the Zhutian Mountains in the northwest, taking a large number of wooden boats and rafts, intending to use the river to enter the vicinity of Xidu at night, but
What they didn't expect was
, in the river, there are also federal navy patrol boats. This inland river patrol boat with a displacement of only more than 50 tons is modified from the SL-01 landing craft, with three 19mm heavy machine guns installed on it, and a welded
20mm thick armor and roof.
Facing the powerful and thick-skinned patrol boats, only wooden boats, rafts and sneak attack cannons were unable to resist the R army. Soldiers in one boat after another were killed by heavy machine guns on the boats and rafts, and then these boats and
The raft was also broken into pieces, and the pieces of wood and corpses flowed into the sea along the river, even attracting the ferocious torpedoes in the sea. They gathered in groups near the mouth of the river to snatch the corpses.
The sneak attack failed and thousands of soldiers were lost. The Japanese army finally stopped attacking blindly. The base camp used the past ten days to mobilize 2 divisions from various places, landed on Kyushu Island, and attacked the capital and the capital respectively.
Kumamoto and other places gathered to block the federal army on the Miyazaki Plain.
Due to the presence of reconnaissance aircraft, the general movements of the R army within a few hundred kilometers will be clearly detected, and then summarized in the landing command headquarters located on the "Ganlang" aircraft carrier, and then analyzed and organized by the staff, and finally
Communicate to battlefield commanders at all levels. From the reconnaissance planes these days,
According to the intelligence, the R Army is gathering a large number of troops in the city, with a total of about 2 divisions, and a large number of artillery. It seems that the R Army will definitely launch a large-scale offensive in the near future. As for where to attack? This
No need to ask, there is only one road from the capital, and that is the Oyodo River.
Gathered in the capital are Japan's Tenth Division and Sixth Division. Currently, there are only these two Japanese regular army units on Kyushu Island. After receiving some weapons and equipment supplements, these two divisions plan to attack the Federation.
The landing force made a frontal attack. As for how to avoid the air attack from federal aircraft, they thought of a way, that is, march at night and attack at night.[
The metropolis is only more than 30 kilometers away from the Oyodo River. It is also a plain area, and the transportation is very convenient. If you set out in the evening, you can arrive there before dawn. The more than 40,000 people of the 6th and 12th Divisions were divided into 3
In this part, the leader was a brigade of the Sixth Division. They were traveling lightly. Carrying only one day's supplies and light weapons, they began a rapid march in the evening and were expected to march at 4 a.m. the next day.
They arrived near the Oyodo River around 12:00, and then began to build trenches and simple defense facilities; behind them was the main force of 25,000 people carrying heavy weapons. They planned to use it day and night and arrive at the Oyodo River at night the next day;
Finally, there was the baggage force of 8,000 people. Due to their relatively slow marching speed, they could only reach their destination on the night of the third day.
This method of the R Army did work. When it dawned the next day, the federal reconnaissance plane discovered the R Army building fortifications on the west side of the Oyodo River defense line. However, by this time they had already dug trenches several kilometers long.
Although it was quickly bombed and strafed by naval aviation aircraft, because the R Army was prepared and had trenches as cover, the blow it received was not too great. Once the federal planes left, the R Army continued to attack from the trenches
Drill out and continue to expand the defenses.
Facing the R Army's defense method, the naval aviation had no good solution. It could only watch the R Army's defenses getting bigger and bigger. On the second day, more R Army joined the project of building fortifications.
In the middle of the road, tens of thousands of R Army soldiers were working day and night on both sides of the road.
The Federal Army located on the highlands of the Oyodogawa River has also discovered these R troops. They are only about 3 kilometers away from the Federal Army's defense line in the Oyodogawa River. However, the Federal Army lacks heavy artillery and uses 75mm howitzers and mortars to fire effectively.
It wasn't very good either. I only tried it once and then stopped.
The armies of the two armies of the South and Japan finally met face to face. The Federal Army was on high ground and had a superior terrain advantage. The Japanese Army was more than three times the number of the Federal Army and was equipped with a large number of artillery. If there really was a fight, who would
It’s hard to say who will win. But what worries Commander R is that although a large number of trenches have been dug and they are still digging in front of the federal position, the distance between the two positions has been shortened to 2 kilometers.
But the R Army's artillery method is very powerful. As soon as the artillery fires, it won't take long for federal aircraft to fly over and surround the artillery position with random bombings. The R Army can successfully avoid such bombings.
There were very few artillery. In one morning, the R Army lost 11 105-caliber heavy artillery and some field artillery. The result in exchange was that it fired more than 100 rounds of artillery at the federal army's defensive positions. It was such a loss.
Finally, the r army had to choose the combat time to be at night, just like the march, so as to avoid the harassment of federal aircraft. However, for the r artillery, the accuracy of shooting at night could not be guaranteed, and it could only be used during the day.
The observed data shall prevail. If the target is hit or not, it cannot be determined visually.
However, with the R Army doing this, the pressure on the Federal Army was obviously much greater. Although that night, the Federal Army still relied on complete defenses and intensive firepower to repel the R Army's attack. However, in the morning, when statistics were collected,
More than 200 people were injured or killed, which made the original
The small number of the Federal Army was very painful. The commander of the Federal 1st Mountain Division, who was responsible for defending the Oyodogawa defense line, was anxious at that time. He immediately ran to the fleet flagship and quarreled with the commander of the Federal Navy. He had to let the Federal Navy
Find a way to continue bombing the artillery positions of Army R.
Noise aside, although naval aviation aircraft can theoretically take off and land at night, only a small number of pilots are proficient in this technology, and most pilots have not received training in this area, so they cannot carry out operations against the federal army at night.
Effective support.
Just when the commanders of the 1st Mountain Division and the Federal Navy were arguing endlessly, the commander of the 1st Federal Division, who was really tired of hearing the two men exposing each other's shortcomings, took over the problem. He planned to launch an attack by the R Army in the evening.
At that time, a tank regiment and an equipment group were dispatched
Regiment A, with a total of 216 tanks and armored vehicles, made a surprise attack on the frontal position of Army R. However, the First Division could not guarantee that this kind of surprise attack would be successful, because although this tactic has been practiced many times, it cannot be used in actual combat.
It’s my first time, so I can only say I’m trying it out.
That night, as the sun just set, the 6th and 10th divisions of Japan, having tasted the benefits of the night attack, followed the instructions. First, they prepared artillery fire, and then the army divided into small teams, crawled out of the trenches, and launched an attack on the hillside.
.30 minutes later, this wave of attacks was defeated again. It was not that our soldiers were not brave or our artillery was not powerful, but that the federal army's firepower was too strong.
The 1st Mountain Division is the strongest army unit in the federal army. This unit participated in everything from Taiwan Island to Hainan Island, from the Philippine Islands to the attack on French Indochina and the Dutch East Indies, and finally to British Malaysia.
Although they have not experienced large-scale battles, the combat effectiveness of a unit that fights all year round and a unit that trains all year round is definitely different.
Although the R Army has heavy artillery to assist, the shooting accuracy of these heavy artillery is really limited at night. In addition, a large number of bunkers, trenches, barbed wire and minefields have been built on this defense line. Whenever the R Army soldiers attack from the rear, they risk
With the federal howitzers and mortars blocking fire, it was hard to
Yi broke through the mine belt, passed through the firepower network of more than a dozen heavy machine guns, crossed the trench and barbed wire, and arrived nearly 100 meters in front of the defense line. Already exhausted, they were still subject to continuous rifle fire.
, there are basically no people who can crawl within 50 meters of the federal position alive.
Just when the R Army was preparing to launch a second wave of charges, suddenly there were muffled sounds from their right front, and the ground under their feet also began to shake. A few minutes later, several dazzling lights suddenly appeared in the night.
The light pillar, behind the light pillar, is a
Another huge black shadow, they rushed towards the front of the r army position at a very fast speed. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote, monthly vote, your support is my biggest
