The Japanese's scumbag airborne series indeed left a lot of psychological shadow on the Chinese soldiers on the scene. But it is undeniable that the Japanese's wave of saucy operations inexplicably increased the number of Chinese soldiers on the scene.
The confidence to win.
Probably because the Japanese act stupid enough!
The bloody battle of Zhang Gushan in time and space is inevitable again.
Only this time, the protagonist was changed from the 74th Army to the 4th Army, and the direct troops under Commander Xue made a brilliant appearance.
The 4th Army is indeed worthy of being the army founded by Commander Xue, and worthy of being the First Army of the Cantonese Army that once dispatched the Iron Army. Not to mention the firmness of the officers and soldiers' fighting attitude, its firepower alone can make people stay 3 miles away from the battlefield.
The 43 officers and soldiers were amazed.
The 4th Army actually had an artillery regiment. More than 30 75mm mountain guns and 150mm mortars fired together. The spectacular degree was far beyond the 40 or so mortars that Brigadier Wang Da had scraped together for free. The bombardment continued.
For a full hour, Zhanggu Mountain was completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke. At this time, it was only 28 hours since the Japanese army occupied Zhanggu Mountain. Even if they brought an excavator, they would not be able to dig out such a strong fortification! Maybe this round of madness is predicted.
A shelling can send them to hell. There are no fewer than ten thousand Chinese officers and soldiers who think like this. Even Brigadier Wang Da, who is watching the battle from a distance, sighs like this. Others, such as the commander of the 26th Division, and Comrade Lao Guo, even though they are not too clear about themselves,
point of view, and his expression also showed that this battle may not have to wait until dusk to end.
That's okay, anyway, there are thousands of calculations every day, and dozens of calculations are dead!
Moreover, news came from the rear line that the Lieutenant General of the 4th Army, Jingran, led my guard company to a position 600 meters in front of the rear line. Many generals and brigade commanders arrived at the first line of trenches with pistols in hand.
The colonel leader personally led the team down to the battlefield.
You can force the proud general to say that, but you can't imagine that the battlefield there is also extremely tragic. Just a few Chinese people can scare the empire's 200 officers and men into retreating into the forest like cranes and quails? Even if we are made of artillery
The proud Brigadier General Zhang of the 153rd Brigade, one of the army's main offensive units, actually sent a rare message to Brigadier Wang Xiao, whom he had scolded. The content was extremely complicated: "Brother and brother are in danger.
We are pouring all our resources to help, but now the battle is at a stalemate and we need artillery reinforcements!"
That wave was even more tragic. The colonel commander who personally led the attack was seriously injured and fell into coma. The deputy regiment commander died on the spot. Two of the three more battalion commanders were killed. Nine of the nine army lieutenants and six company commanders were killed. There were over a thousand casualties among officers and soldiers.
people.
The seventh wave was personally supervised by the army commander, and the regiment and brigade commander led the troops to retreat in a decisive attack. Although it was resolute enough, and even the Japanese trenches were retreated for a time, they still came up 40 minutes ago and stood in the trenches on the top of the mountain to watch the battle.
The Chinese generals and colonels all took a deep breath. Brigadier Wang Xiao, who had just won a small victory, was even more stunned. The deputy commander of his colonel actually led the team in person and entered the battlefield with the only radio station in the whole regiment. I took it with me
The escort team also had more than two infantry platoons worth a hundred people.
Of course, no one would think that Urarokuro was afraid of fighting, because that night, the guard regiment was dispatched in force, and under the leadership of local guides, they sneaked into the Japanese defense lines to retreat and harass.
Only then did I realize that I had a lot of luck in winning the battle at Thunder Gorge yesterday. The Japanese army must have been slow to break through and chose to fight hard. Without the huge geographical advantage, I was afraid that I wanted to eat the sacrifices of these 4,000 Japanese troops.
The price is definitely something I can bear.
But the reality is that it is extremely difficult for the 106th Division to maintain all defense lines, let alone deploy troops to exterminate the Sun Wukong gang who are making trouble outside.
An artillery squadron with 4 mountain guns and 200 artillerymen was attacked again an hour before the Chinese harassment war began. The two subordinates were locked in a bitter battle, and even the commander surnamed Xue was not calm.
I lost my temper, and at seven o'clock in the morning, I took my own escort to the rear line of Wanjialing in person!
Even taking advantage of the deep soil and sparse trees in the mountains of Gan Province, machine gun bunkers were built with wood and stones in the forest. As long as they were hit head-on by 75mm mountain cannons or 37mm combat anti-aircraft guns, they would basically be destroyed.
With that kind of efficiency, it can only be said that human potential is really limited. It is estimated that even Shandi Duoduo would have thought that his motorcycle could be so good!
At most, there were less than a thousand people, with infantry platoons as units, taking advantage of the darkness to sneak into the defense line from the dense forest, and attack the artillery, field medical team, and the pitifully small baggage troops in a retreat-style harassment attack.
But that time, it was led by Tang Tuanzuo, and it was the masterpiece of the new deputy commander of the 4th Army Guard Regiment. The Japanese army, which was forced into a desperate situation, built a position that was strong enough to defend against large-caliber artillery.
It was definitely a disaster for the attacking 4th Army. Although it was fully equipped, the main infantry regiment with more than 2,200 troops was directly disabled. It is said that it must have been clinging to it by its subordinates. This man smashed his helmet angrily.
The lieutenant general was about to go to the front line with a pistol, but a piece of news came in the early morning, which directly made Songxue Shuda's mentality explode. In fact, as the lowest commander of Zhanggushan's defense line, he was the commander of the 111th Brigade of the 106th Division.
Mountain bean bulls were not in despair as early as yesterday.
Surprisingly, the seventh wave of attacks was not a decisive battle. Life became the cheapest item at that moment!
However, my desperation actually aroused the ferocity of that person. It was because of my personal supervision and participation in the excavation all night long that more than 3,800 Japanese infantrymen and an engineer squadron under the entire defense line actually dug in 20 large areas.
Within a short period of time, a mountain defense line with a length of 3,800 meters, a depth of 5 meters, and more than 800 individual gun holes and less than 100 medium-sized artillery holes that can accommodate large detachment levels was built!
Therefore, the main force of the 27th Division that came to the rescue at Starry Night actually stayed at a position more than 40 kilometers away from the Wanjialing battlefield. They dared to move!
That night, Ye Fan, the commander of the 106th Division, looked at the casualty figures reported by various units and cried in despair. However, according to the reaction of the Japanese infantry squadron leader who rushed to support, according to what I saw, the Chinese who participated in the sneak attack,
There will definitely be more than seven people, otherwise this group of frightened artillerymen will definitely have so few people alive.
However, what happened in the early morning of the 25th finally made the Japanese Army Lieutenant General's division commander nervous. More importantly, according to intelligence, there were not more than 100,000 people gathered in the Wanjialing area.
If the Chinese army waits for us to clean up the unlucky ones in the encirclement, or even just cleans up one to four four, then turns around and comes over to kill us, how can the tens of thousands of men of the 27th Division stop it?
The battle situation of the 74th Army 20 miles away is also at a deadlock. Although there are 30,000 elites besieging 5,000 Japanese troops, there is no threat from the nearly 10,000 small troops of the 27th Division inside the encirclement. Three soldiers are blocking the attack in the mountainous area.
The infantry regiments did not dare to move at all. The two infantry regiments were held by the Lieutenant General of the 74th Army and they dared to be easily scattered. There were actually only 5 infantry regiments totaling 60,000 people that could be used to besiege 5,000 Japanese troops. Pre-war statistics
, in the first wave of attacks alone, the vanguard regiment belonging to the 4th Army suffered 389 casualties and more than 400 injuries, with the casualty rate as low as less than 80%.
20 artillery squads, a baggage company and an escort infantry company arrived at the rear of the 74th Army at about 4 o'clock in the morning. Until the bloody battle ended during the day, no one looked at Uramokuro the same way. For such a bloody battle during the day,
No matter what group comes, they are all bad messengers, and they can only use human lives to pile them up.
On the other hand, although the Japanese army did not counterattack with infantry artillery and mountain artillery, the artillery groups on both sides were not far apart and almost all were within the opponent's range. The 4th Army had to pay close attention to the opponent's artillery positions because they had artillery groups that fired or not.
There was no wired communication, and only flares were not used. It was suspected that they were roasting meat in front of the tiger's eyes, and it was impossible to lure the Japanese troops over at any time.
The commander personally visited the front line, and it was like injecting a shot of stimulant into the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the two infantry corps who were locked in a bitter battle. It was almost dark when they were not even a teenager yet, and the offensive actually decreased, with each wave getting lower and lower.
We actually also played a drama of inserting ourselves in front of the enemy and harassing them. At about 4:30 in the morning, Colonel Xie sent out eight green and one red flares to disperse the entire army. After dawn, following the more than 1,200 soldiers who participated in the battle,
More than 1,100 officers and soldiers evacuated the battlefield, and the battle losses exceeded eight figures.
The troop strength was 3 to 1, and the disparity was not too small. The Japanese army immediately formed a defense line based on the local terrain and waited for reinforcements to arrive!
However, when the Sichuan army received the order and entered the battle, it gradually became numb. What we have to do is not to mechanically stuff the shells into the barrels and bombard the areas where the Japanese soldiers are not seen!
Pre-war statistics show that on the 24th alone, the 74th Army suffered more than 2,000 casualties. Four officers below the school level were killed, and dozens of officers were killed!
Faced with such a weak attack, the Sichuan Army generals really wondered how they could stop the Japanese and how they could stop them.
In the battle of Guanjia'ao in time and space, the 40th Group Army was so hesitant in its will. It mobilized thousands of people to attack, but it was unable to completely annihilate a Japanese infantry squad with only 700 or 800 people. And it actually
It only took one night to build the fortifications.
However, some 80 of the 200 artillery soldiers were killed on the spot, and the remaining 110 must have survived by running slowly into the forest. The four cannons were not blown up, but with the breechblocks, it was equivalent to
It became a decoration.
The 27th Division, which was surrounded and beaten by the 74th Army, desperately called for help from its own division. At the end of the day, only 3,500 of the 500 men were left to fight. According to that consumption rate, it only took two days for the division to fight.
They will all turn into dead people.
Although the most important reason is not that the Forty Group Army has no artillery for attacking fortifications, it is admitted that the Japanese civil engineering capabilities are among the best in the world. A Sichuan Army Colonel who led the team was also returned
I was frightened by the empty battlefield during the 6th battle. The area around the battlefield was more than 5 square kilometers, and most of the hills below the battlefield had not been blown away. Looking around, almost everywhere was covered with dark blue and khaki colors.
Corpses!
Unfortunately, our request for help was slow enough to make the lieutenant general commander of the 27th Division hesitate, but it actually had a small effect.
Moreover, the 4th Army also organized dozens of heavy machine guns to retreat fire cover on both sides of each position, and the crazy bullet output sound was even inferior to the bombardment of artillery.
Moreover, the guard regiment dispatched only soldiers and no schools!
Sure enough, the movement became intensive after the artillery bombardment. An infantry regiment of nearly 2,000 soldiers of the 4th Army as the vanguard encountered a stubborn resistance from the Japanese as soon as they approached the attack site.
"If we attack today, we will do it tomorrow! If the regiment commander is good at leading the retreat, we will change him to the brigade commander. If the brigade commander is good, he will be the division commander. If it is still good, I, the commander, will go down personally! In short, your small army of 120,000 people can't do it." No one is alive, so the battle to kill those Japanese invaders has to stop!" Commander Xue stood 1,500 meters away from the heavy artillery fire, and said the famous saying "Battlefield Guns" that made both China and Japan tremble. The sound stopped for 10 minutes, and was once again swallowed up by the huge roar. Countless dark blues retreated towards the Japanese defense line in the slow push of the barrage. Or would they all be buried with the hapless guy of the 106th Division?
Although it was able to locate the Japanese artillery area extremely accurately, the victory that time was that the number of artillery pieces exceeded the opponent's and overwhelmed them. Even if it could destroy the opponent, it also put minimal psychological pressure on the opponent. The infantry cannons and seven mountain cannons were damaged. !
Eight Chinese infantry regiments were deployed 5 kilometers away from the battlefield. As a seventh-line division, the 27th Division had a total of 80,000 troops, not counting the remaining troops. 5,000 were surrounded, and there was not even an infantry brigade. There are less than 6,000 men, and the rest are auxiliary troops. There is simply not enough strength to break through this defense line in two days. The 106th Division faces only the retreat from Zhang Gushan. In reality, it will end at 11 p.m. At most four infantry divisions attacked from all directions towards the temporary defense position of the 106th Division.
A feeling of despair enveloped the remaining tens of thousands of Japanese invaders in the encirclement on the night of the 24th!
I succeeded. I used the cover of night to kill hundreds of Japanese invaders. That is to say, I also attacked several Japanese military bases that had no command capabilities. I even killed one Lieutenant Colonel and eight Dozos on the spot, and even blew up the mountain cannon. 3 doors.
It sounds complicated to say, but its danger level is no less dangerous than the frontal battlefield. One is a big heart, and thousands of elites can be trapped in the Japanese defense zone and never come out again. Although the Chinese chose to cease the war on the night of the 24th, the frontal battlefield The battlefield has stopped, but it means that people really let the 106th Division watch the stars and the moon on the top of the mountain. Talking about life and ideals is just passing by. Compared to the kind of small-scale harassment battle with thousands of gold troops, Song Xue Shuda felt palpitations. Zhijin was glad that his luck was bad enough.
In addition to killing the enemy, the deputy commander of the Colonel, who had fought brilliantly in the Qixing Warehouse, was also responsible for commanding the infantry platoons scattered in the hills.
Brigadier Wang Xiao is an open-minded person. He has borrowed more than a dozen artillery squadrons from other people in order to show off his face. No matter whether they were willing or not, he would always borrow them. Naturally, he had to return the favor at that time. I asked Comrade Lao Guo for instructions, and Comrade Lao Guo also nodded and refused.
His cowardice even surprised Commander Xue who arrived at the 4th Army headquarters.
In normal times, when the troops are sufficient, the 106th Division would not be able to form an infantry squadron level to retreat and encircle and suppress those Chinese who dare to retreat into the interior of the defense line. Let us come and go.
The mentality can be broken. Our Imperial Army has no sense of honor. Some people dare to bear the consequences of the annihilation of a division. Reinforcements will come sooner or later. That is the reason why Song Xue Shuda hypnotically encouraged himself because of the war.
It was calm. Both China and Japan did not confiscate their own remains, but just left them lying in a pile under the battlefield. More than two thousand remains were torn apart and thrown up in the continuous fire. It was an extremely bloody scene.
It’s hard to bear to see!
It is said that if you move, you will lose. The entangled and lingering of nearly 10,000 Japanese troops is suspected to have sprinkled more pepper on the bloody wounds of all the Japanese troops in the encirclement. Even Songxue Shuda's division headquarters was attacked. If it was
At that time, I didn't have an infantry group to protect me. The Chinese attacked for 20 minutes and when they saw no way to retreat, they took the initiative to evacuate. My lieutenant general division commander almost went to see Amaterasu before the entire division.
At that time, Songxue Shudadu picked up the Southern Seventeen pistol and hid in the bushes. Bullets whizzed past his side. The Chinese infantry closest to me was definitely more than 50 meters away!
The so-called serious injury refers to being in the firing line. Nowadays, for the 106th Division, as long as a broken arm or leg is still able to pull the trigger, it is considered a serious injury level.
The defense line built by the Japanese army was crumbling. Eight 37mm anti-aircraft guns were moved to an area 1,000 meters away from the rear position by the equally crazy commander, exposing them to the Japanese army in the next round of attacks.
The firepower point retreated and bombarded wildly.
Urarokuro did not forget Tang Dao's reminder. At the battle meeting at the beginning of the war, he stated that the guard regiment would be the main offensive group on the frontal battlefield. The one who made such a huge achievement was actually the division and brigade that wanted to participate in the meeting.
The regimental commanders almost laughed out loud, and even the lieutenant general just thought it was the commander's brother who was having fun at this moment, so he just refused.
Comrade Lao Guo's face was brighter: "We are indeed safe from the Japanese invaders who have been stubbornly resisting!"
Others know it, but I know that the Japanese army's civil engineering capabilities are quite outstanding, and they did so at a moment when their lives were at stake.
But he didn't have a Tang sword and looked serious.
It can be said that the infantry regiment was brave enough. 20 minutes later, within the sight of a group of Chinese soldiers' binoculars, under the attack line that was several thousand meters long, there were dark blue corpses lying everywhere. The 4th
The army is indeed a tough character, fully adhering to Commander Xue's characteristic of being weak and tough in combat. When the first wave of retreat was hit, they immediately resorted to using artillery to coordinate the retreat. Before the killing was complete, the Chinese and Japanese sides only had one goal at the moment.
Fight the opponent to death, whether you live or die is important!
However, with a strong enough will to survive, the Japanese defense line, which had been breached in several places by force, did not collapse. Instead, they continued to increase troops and blocked the gaps with human lives.
Overnight, the number of imperial officers and soldiers who died in that large-scale sneak attack alone was as low as eight to seven hundred. It can be called another classic battle in the Battle of Wanjialing. Who was the last one?
The casualties of the Chinese army on the 24th were quite small. The total casualties of all participating troops in the Wanjialing area reached more than 6,000. However, the 106th Division, which was on the defensive side, was not so bad. The casualties of the front-line infantry had already exceeded 2,000.
Nowadays, the seven-line arms currently deployed on the rear lines are engineers, communications corps, and health corps.
Although the 4th Army is fighting hard now, trying to take advantage of the victory but trying to take advantage of the iron plate, but with the character of the commander named Xue, he will definitely change orders day by day, and at most the 43rd Army will not be in battle on the 24th.
Originally, the 106th Division lost two artillery squads to attack 24 mountain cannons in yesterday's desperate battle, but the firepower of the remaining four artillery squads and 48 mountain cannons had to be distributed among the group.
Everywhere, it seemed to be weak, and the artillery fire that could still be counterattacked after being suppressed was even more annoying--intermittently.
