The captain of Taiwan's 1st Regiment, Colonel Maeda Samitsu, is from Osaka. His ancestor Maeda Toshiie was a general under the command of the most legendary figure Hashiba Hideyoshi during the Warring States Period. Maeda Samitsu was born in the Maeda family, a declining samurai family. He had great ambitions since he was a child.
He was determined to restore the glory of his ancestors and serve his country in the army. However, what he didn't expect was that after many twists and turns, he would be assigned to the third-rate Taiwan 1st Regiment as the captain.
Speaking of the Taiwan Brigade, since the Chongteng Detachment was completely annihilated by Xu Rui when it was established, the Japanese base camp believed that the combat effectiveness of the Taiwan Brigade was very low and could no longer be used solely as a brigade. Therefore, the Brigade was mainly composed of local Taiwanese residents.
They were broken up into regiments and integrated into various divisions.
Although he was assigned to a third-rate unit like the Taiwan Army, Maeda Zuoguang did not give up on himself. He felt that there were no bad soldiers, only incompetent generals. No matter how bad the Taiwan Army was, as long as he was led by a promising officer like himself,
Even if you don't do it, you can still achieve unparalleled military exploits.
In this battle, as long as Xu Rui's troops were completely wiped out, he would definitely be promoted to general and have a glorious future. The huge temptation made Maeda Zuoguang feel high-spirited.
Therefore, Maeda Zuoguang was ambitious and determined to make a difference. Therefore, his troops became the vanguard in the encirclement and suppression of Xu Rui's troops. In the previous battle with the Second Battalion, Maeda Zuoguang's troops
Although there were some losses, there were no injuries, which made him think that Xu Rui's new regiment was nothing more than that. He pursued them all the way and became the first unit of the 48th Division to arrive at Wangqing City.
Without any preparation for artillery fire, Maeda Zuoguang, who was eager to perform meritorious service, waved his hand, and his first brigade immediately launched an attack on Wangqing City. The Wangqing battle officially began!
The Japanese's leading force, the Third Squadron of the First Battalion, did not even prepare for artillery fire, but began to attack Wang Qingcheng from the north, east, and south. The infantry of the Third Squadron set up a battle formation, constantly alternating.
Cover the advance.
I have to admit that Maeda Zuoguang still has certain abilities, and he has trained the Taiwanese team, which was originally very poor in combat effectiveness, to look like an elite force. However, can they really eat up Xu Rui's main force?
On the city wall, He Shuya kept observing his opponent with a telescope. He Shuya was so courageous that he even placed his battalion headquarters on the city wall to command nearby.
Although this is dangerous, you can command nearby and better attack the Japanese.
"Batalion Commander, can we start?" Third Company Commander Lei Peng said impatiently.
"Don't be anxious. The Japanese are just testing the attack this time. We ordered each company to leave only one platoon to hold the front-line position. The rest of the troops are on standby. Don't open fire easily or expose the position." He Shuya put down the telescope and said slowly.
Retaining only a small number of troops to fight on the front line and leaving the main force as a reserve is an effective method that can greatly reduce casualties. This is also the experience He Shuya has summed up through countless blood.
"The little devil actually wants to play a test with me, then I will let him steal the chicken but lose the rice!" A smile hung on the corner of He Shuya's mouth.
Lei Peng nodded, returned to his command position, took out a Mosin-Nagan sniper rifle, and said: "Listen to the sound of my gun! When my gun sounds, you shoot again!"
The Japs were getting closer and closer. Lei Peng fired a shot and hit one of the Japs in the chest.
The next moment, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and rifles intertwined into a large net and attacked the Japanese. The Japanese seemed to have no intention of fighting, and quickly withdrew after killing or wounding more than a dozen people.
"So the Japs are so easy to fight." Several recruits whispered, thinking that the Japs were nothing more than that, and some did not take the Japs seriously.
"Stop, don't fight yet!" Lei Peng shouted and organized the soldiers to withdraw from their positions immediately.
"Company Commander, the Japanese are so easy to fight, why do we have to withdraw?" asked a new soldier who joined the army.
"Haha, you will know in a moment." Lei Peng smiled and led the soldiers to withdraw. Not long after Lei Peng and his men had just withdrawn, meteors appeared in the sky and rushed toward Wang Qing's city.
came, and then a series of explosions rang out.
The new soldier who originally didn't understand Lei Peng's intention stuck out his tongue in fright and said to himself that the company commander was really good at predicting things. He actually guessed that the Japanese were going to use artillery to attack the exposed firepower point on the top of the city. If they had withdrawn a few minutes later, they would have suffered.
It's a huge loss.
The Japanese artillery fire came very fiercely, and the bombardment lasted for more than ten minutes. Then, the three Japanese brigades attacked Wangqing from the east, north, and south at the same time. In the words of Maeda Zuoguang, no matter who attacked first this time,
Wangqingcheng was the main attacker. In order to enter Wangqingdu first, the three brigades dispatched their main forces and rushed towards the wall of Wangqingcheng from the south, south, north and south.
Looking at the direction of the Japs' attack, He Shuya couldn't help but snorted. The Japs were doing the same thing again, surrounding three buildings. This was to squeeze the new group out of Wangqing City to the west, and there was a plain to the west of Wangqing City. When they reached the plain, the Japs
The advantages in numbers and heavy weapons will be fully utilized.
"The devils have a good plan, so I will accompany you to have fun!" He Shuya snorted coldly and said, "Order each company to defend Wangqing with the support of the city wall and kill the devils as much as possible!"
"yes!"
(Dividing line)
Liu Xiaomao became a soldier after entering Fengtian in the New Regiment. The purpose of joining the soldier was very simple, which was to kill the bandits and serve the country. Before joining the army, Liu Xiaomao graduated from the Manchukuo Military School with the first place. He was once influenced by Puyi
Liu Xiaomao was interviewed by Pu Yi personally and received the medal personally awarded by Pu Yi. However, privately, Liu Xiaomao was an underground party member of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. He just followed the order of the organization to infiltrate the puppet army to develop its armed forces. When the new regiment entered Fengtian
At that time, Liu Xiaomao served as captain and company commander and led a company of puppet troops to join the new regiment. Therefore, he was affirmed by Xu Rui and appointed him as company commander. After entering Wujiashan for reorganization, due to excessive troop losses, he
Liu Xiaomao became a platoon leader under Yao Lei of the First Company.
Liu Xiaomao's individual soldier quality was so good that he even became a reserve member of Langya. This time, he was ordered by Yao Lei to guard the east gate. Seeing the Japanese who were pouring in like a tide outside the city gate, a recruit was so frightened that his legs trembled.
, Liu Xiaomao smiled and said, "What the hell, San Donkey, aren't you pretty good at shouting at ordinary times? You'll get scared when you see the Japanese?"
"I'm not scared, I'm just cold. I'm freezing." Sanluzi was a new soldier. Although he was scared in his heart, he had a tough mouth.
Liu Xiaomao laughed and said, just be stubborn, but all new recruits are like this, so it’s good that you didn’t wet your pants.
"Platoon leader, did you wet your pants when you were a recruit?" San Donkey asked.
"Go away, big or small." Liu Xiaomao kicked the three donkeys in the buttocks, and then said: "The Japs will come up soon. Everyone pay attention, and keep the Japs close before beating them."
"yes!"
The Japanese were getting closer and closer, only more than a hundred meters away from the city wall. Liu Xiaomao gave an order, and the soldiers opened fire one after another. Most of Liu Xiaomao's subordinates were Manchukuo puppet troops who had surrendered. These Manchukuo puppet troops were closely related to those in the pass.
The puppet troops are all different. They have all undergone rigorous training by the Japanese advisers. They are very capable and calm in fighting. Seeing that the veterans are so calm, the three donkeys were infected. They calmed down and aimed at the city.
The little devil was shot, and the shot hit the little devil's chest, and the little devil fell down.
"I hit it!" The three donkeys stood up and shouted happily.
"Get down!" A veteran soldier threw the three donkeys to the ground. The next moment, a grenade from a grenade exploded exactly where the three donkeys were, sending shrapnel everywhere. When the three donkeys came out of the veteran's body,
When I crawled out from below, I found that the veteran had stopped breathing.
"Brother! I hurt you!" San Donkey shouted. The person who was alive just now turned into a corpse in the blink of an eye. At this moment, San Donkey finally saw the cruelty of war.
"Three donkeys, why are you so stunned? Shoot quickly!" the squad leader yelled.
Sanluzi put the veteran's body away, wiped away his tears, gritted his teeth, and decided that he must avenge the veteran and kill a few more Japanese.
The three donkeys were hiding behind the bunker, firing continuously with the rifles in their hands, and roared with each shot.
Under the leadership of Liu Xiaomao, a row of soldiers repelled three waves of Japanese attacks. More than a hundred corpses were left under the city wall, and the blood dyed the snow under the city red.
…
"Baga, the damn new regiment, bring up those two 150mm caliber howitzers and attack the city wall directly!" Maeda Zuoguang, captain of the Taiwan First Regiment, seeing that the long-term attack was ineffective, immediately ordered the cannons to be brought up.
, wanting to attack the gates of Wangqing City in one go.
"But Colonel, the 150mm howitzer has a range of more than ten kilometers, and it is a direct-fire cannon." Chief of Staff Guan Genxiong said.
"Can't the curved cannon be used as a direct-fire cannon? As long as the howitzer is pointed into the direct fire, it is entirely possible to collapse the city wall!" Maeda Samitsu said.
"His Majesty Colonel, you are really brilliant." Sekine Xiong raised his thumb.
"Go, this time, we must rush into Wangqing City!"
"Hai!"
After repelling three Japanese attacks, Liu Xiaomao just breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he saw the Japanese pushing two 150mm howitzers over from a distance. Liu Xiaomao's pupils shrank sharply.
When he saw the caliber of the cannon, he knew he was in trouble, so he shouted: "Get down quickly!"
boom!
Boom boom!
I have to admire the Japanese's artillery quality. When used as a direct-fire artillery, the cannons were still very accurate. They fired five shells in a row, all of which hit the same part of the city wall. The shells from the 150mm large-caliber howitzer continued.
Under the bombardment, a large area of the city wall collapsed immediately, and then hundreds of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the collapsed area like a tide.
