The special forces in the city almost perfectly fulfilled the combat missions deployed before the war.
If I had to find a regret, it would be the control of the Japanese army's baggage warehouse located at the junction of Xicheng and Beicheng.
From the beginning to the end, the Japanese army's baggage warehouse, which received the most attention from the Fourth Army Regiment Headquarters, was not attacked by the special forces.
In other words, despite the chaos inside the city, the sound of artillery fire outside the city was so fierce that the Chinese and Japanese armies were almost stabbing each other face to face. The Japanese army had stocked up the baggage warehouse guarded by nearly 200 baggage soldiers.
On the other hand, everything remains as before, and it has truly become the last piece of pure land in Licheng County.
But the Japanese are also panicking!
Even though not a single bullet has fallen on his head yet, Lieutenant Oguri Tunkura Tabe, the supreme commander of the baggage troops who is responsible for the defense of the baggage warehouse, is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Every two minutes, he has to report to the people responsible for several walls.
The defending infantry squadron made a phone call to inquire about the status of the battle.
As the supreme commander of the Licheng Baggage Warehouse, Lieutenant Oguri knew the heavy responsibility he shouldered. The supplies he was guarding did not belong to the Sixth Infantry Brigade, but to the entire division.
Not only does the entire division have food supplies for the 20,000-strong army that will be assembled for a month in the future, but there is also a supply of ordnance that can be supplied to the infantry brigade. These supplies do not fall from the sky. The commander of the Xiong Yuan Division personally reported to the North China Front Army Headquarters
They applied for it by sending a telegram. For this reason, the 108th Division even made a guarantee to capture Linfen within two months.
A small county like Licheng didn't want anything. At least half of China's wealthy people ran away before the city fell, and the remaining half surrendered. For the sake of stability, the empire couldn't blatantly rob it. If it was lost, it would be lost. But
The baggage can't run with long legs!
If these supplies were gone, Lieutenant Oguri could even imagine the face of the commander of the division, Xiong Yuan, that had turned ugly due to madness, and there would be few people whose heads would not be able to calm down.
It's a pity that except for the first few calls, there were still people who answered the phone, but after that, there was no more calls!
It's not that the city fell so early, but that no one wants to take advantage of this 'ant' who can only run around in a hurry! You don't provide reinforcements, and you can't provide tactical guidance, so you just ask questions, like mud horses.
!
It's like going to a brothel, you don't feel good anymore, but there is a pig teammate next door who keeps urging you, brother, can you do it? If you can do it, you should give me a correct answer!
Why, you just hope that I die soon. Your heart feels so peaceful, right?
It is this torturous waiting that is the most difficult, but Lieutenant Oguri endured it for at least an hour. This kind of mentality is already strong enough.
However, he did not dare to send out a single soldier. Even though the sound of artillery in the direction of Nancheng and Dongcheng became increasingly sparse, the shouts of killing became more and more intense. This was a sign that the city was about to be broken.
The only thing worth comforting him was that the baggage warehouse was still intact in his hands.
Looking at the various fortifications he had spent nearly a week building around the baggage warehouse, Lieutenant Oguri was almost weak and forcefully gave himself a shot in the arm. Even though the Chinese had artillery, they did not dare to use artillery as long as they wanted to obtain the baggage.
Attack by force, otherwise, the ammunition will be detonated, and they won't be able to get a single bullet.
Attack with infantry? Although he has been marching for a long time under the influence of the smell of pack horse excrement, Lieutenant Oguri, who graduated from the non-commissioned officer academy, has complete confidence in the fortifications he built, and he has no problem blocking the attack of thousands of infantry for three hours.
Ordinary and confident, this is not just limited to a certain time period or a certain area. There is also no shortage of such patients in this era. The Japanese Army Troopers Lieutenant falls into this category.
Of course, he is not blindly arrogant, he still has some reasons.
The two heavy machine guns sent by the 6th Infantry Brigade to strengthen the defense were all placed on the roofs of two sturdy baggage warehouses. Each of them built a strong heavy machine gun fortification with steel plates and sandbags, one on the left and one on the right, forming a crossfire from above.
, any enemy who wants to attack from the front will have to accept the test of two heavy machine guns.
If you want to attack them, you must first break through the defense line of nearly a hundred heavy troops hiding behind the fortifications, and you must also climb up to the high roof, which is an almost impossible task.
However, Lieutenant Oguri was not crazy enough to mount a heavy machine gun on top of a warehouse where artillery shells were stored. If the enemy didn't know it, he would throw a grenade "crazy" and cause the ammunition to explode. Not only would more than a hundred defenders be killed,
They were blown to ashes, and a large amount of supplies could not be saved. They were defenders, and they were not here to play and die together.
He just bet that the Chinese would not dare to fire easily. Those mountains of food and ammunition should be the main purpose of the Chinese attacking Licheng at the expense of human lives.
This is also his only chance to survive.
Without the use of artillery, only light weapons were used to capture the baggage warehouse. The casualties paid would make any commander cry bitterly.
Unfortunately, it turned out that Lieutenant Oguri really thought too much.
The first unit of the Si Xing Regiment to attack the city was the Third Battalion from the direction of Nancheng!
The third battalion that was the first to enter the city did not rush to send infantry to attack the baggage warehouse directly. Instead, it first sent two infantry companies to attack the Japanese defenders on the two walls of the South City and the West City. The Japanese defenders in the area of the two walls suddenly became confused.
Buzzing.
The originally seemingly strong defense line was riddled with holes. The Second Battalion, which had not yet begun the offensive, was able to successfully enter the city and began to carry out the final destruction of the Japanese army's fragmented defense line, and dispatched an infantry company and two firepower units.
The group joined an infantry company of the 3rd Battalion to attack the West City and the North City. The mortar platoon of the 1st Artillery Company also entered the city to follow up. The only ones who stayed outside the city were the Sixth Regiment Headquarters and the First Guard Company.
At this point, it is basically a foregone conclusion that Licheng will be captured!
The only variables were the baggage warehouses located in the city and the number of Japanese troops annihilated.
In order to ensure that the defensive positions in the Japanese city wall area were broken through and reduce casualties, Tang Dao adopted a new strategy of surrounding two, harassing one and killing one. That is, the direction of the west city was just a sheep attack, and the direction of the north city was purely letting go. If the Japanese army wanted to escape, then
We can only let him escape first.
Tang Dao will not increase the casualties of his brothers in order to annihilate enough Japanese troops. He has now broken away from the stage of determining whether the battle is a big victory or a small victory based solely on the number of enemies annihilated. To put it bluntly, Tang Dao in this period is more
Pay attention to whether your tactical goals are successfully achieved.
Just like in the battle to conquer Le City, victory or failure actually all depends on whether a large number of Japanese reinforcements can be killed in the direction of Shentou Ridge and whether the Japanese army can obtain the maximum amount of baggage accumulated by the Japanese army.
Although even insiders had no way of knowing how much supplies the Japanese army had hoarded, which was a bit like opening a blind box for Tang Dao, Tang Dao believed that a Japanese infantry division that attempted to attack Linfen would never be too stingy.
If these two tactical goals cannot be achieved, even if the Fourth Army Regiment annihilates the Japanese infantry brigade defending the city, then today's battle will be a failure.
Sakira Nakatama: Then I, the majestic Imperial Japanese Army center left! I am nothing!
That's true. I have picked off two of the heads of the Japanese Army's Zuo with Tang Dao, and even killed someone of the same level as Gushoufu. Zhongzuo is considered a ball!
Perhaps not only Tang Dao thought so, but also his subordinates thought so. Heizi and others who broke into Wang's mansion searched for a while, but could not find the bodies of Japanese officers with a rank of captain or above, so they didn't take it too seriously.
Nowadays, their military exploits are no longer proven by killing senior Japanese military officers, but by completing tactical objectives.
Besides, as long as Licheng is captured, even if the guy is hiding in the basement, he can be dug out three feet deep, so don't worry about it for a while.
Tang Dao and the Four Elements Group are constantly growing during the war!
Saki Rachutama:Then shall I go?
Sakira Nakatama really did this.
Even if he knows the Chinese art of war, the so-called surrounding three and one, is that one really so easy to escape? After escaping the city and losing their position, the Chinese army ambushing in the mountains may be able to kill them more easily without the protection of their positions.
of infantry.
However, even if he knew very well that drinking poison to quench his thirst, the Japanese army had to do it anyway. No matter what, he would die. Why did he have to fight for his own life, just in case, he survived!
Therefore, this is also the real reason why the Japanese army's defensive positions are in full swing but cannot receive any command and support.
After discovering that none of the communications staff who had gone to find reinforcements had returned, Nakatama Saki, the top commander of the Japanese army, had anticipated in advance that today's battle would be irreversible, and immediately made a decisive decision, leading Wang, who was familiar with the terrain, to
The father and son ran towards Beicheng in the dark.
Don't tell me, this is the right way for him to go. The special forces are either in the direction of the west city or blocking the two southeastern cities. The north city area is the safest area.
After arriving in Beicheng District and finally meeting up with his subordinates, Sakira Nakatama made the decision to sever his arms. Regardless of the thousands of subordinates in the city, he ordered the two infantry squads in Beicheng District that had no battle damage to open the way immediately!
To put it in layman’s terms: Let’s run together and you’ll be responsible for taking the front line!
Not to mention his opponent Si Xing Tuan did not expect this unexpected move, even the Japanese themselves were confused.
You know, at that time, the battle at the city wall was still in a stalemate, and the Chinese did not say that they would win. How could this majestic Imperial Japanese Army center left so accurately predict that Li City would fall?
What's even more awesome is that he didn't send a retreat message to any of his troops, he just led his own people to open the city gate and run away first.
"Swallowing the Starry Sky: Sign in to Become a God"
This kind of operation, not to mention the Japanese army, even those of the Imperial Army, due to strict military orders, rarely occurs.
But Nakatama Saki did just that, and he even told the bewildered Japanese captain with good reason: This move is called "Golden Cicada Escapes". When the Chinese tried their best to attack the city, they found that
The real brains of our Sixth Infantry Brigade have long since left, and they will get nothing. Not only that, when reinforcements from Lucheng and Shecheng arrive, the city they just captured will become their cemetery, and the imperial army will
Use artillery fire to bury all the damn Chinese and their small town!
How should I put it? The logic is quite correct. As long as the general is still there, the 6th Infantry Battalion can be rebuilt after the war, no matter how serious the battle damage is! The Japanese army has always had a tradition of sacrificing small soldiers to protect officers.
What's more, a certain Zhongzuo said that if Yu Sui, the deputy captain of Shao Zuo who is still in the city, dies in battle, his position will be vacant.
The vacant position is not reserved for the dead. Only living people can take it. The Japanese captain who was suddenly enlightened was still hesitant and DER!
They don't call it a hasty escape, but a strategic shift. It doesn't matter if they lose now, as long as they can shake people, they will win in the end, and all the ugliness will be covered up by victory.
As for those colleagues who are still fighting to the death in the city, they are brave and loyal to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor. After death, they will be gloriously entered into small wooden boxes and solemnly sent back to the Empire by the living people. That will be endless glory.
What's even more outrageous is that Sakira Nakatama and the 100 Japanese troops who escaped from the North City Gate and entered the mountains not only ran away, but also used the field radio that was about to run out of power to continue to generate electricity to the division headquarters dozens of kilometers away:
Reinforcements are coming quickly, the Chinese are so powerful!
Good guy, Sakira Nakatama is no longer afraid of settling the scores, he just wants to win someone to make up for his ugliness!
Once the bottom line of this person is crossed, there will be no bottom line at all!
"March quickly!" Xiong Yuan, Lieutenant General of the 108th Division, commander of the 108th Division, received repeated military orders from his subordinates. The Japanese reinforcements almost died on the mountain road and arrived at the battlefield earlier than expected.
1 hour.
According to the battle report of the 683rd Brigade, at the beginning of the hand-to-hand combat, most of the Japanese troops were breathing heavily, and their physical fitness was only 40% of their usual strength at most. The red-tasseled gun pierced the belly with just one poke. It was much easier than imagined.
Tang Dao, who was assisting with this, was a bit incompetent.
Really, when the post-war summary came to light and he learned about the series of shady actions of the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Licheng, Tang Dao even had the urge to re-understand the Japanese nation. This was so damn atavistic!
It can only be said that there are no trees in the world no matter how big the bird is. China has produced so many traitors. It should be normal for the Japanese to produce a few weirdos.
Life is more important than glory. In the Western world, that's normal operation, right?
Do you think the Japanese won't surrender? That's just because they didn't beat them hard enough. The island nation was kneeling after being bombed by two big fat men. It has been kneeling for a hundred years, but it has reached a new height.
.
.
.
.
.
Not to mention Sakira Nakatama, who has already escaped, but the Japanese Army Troopers Lieutenant who still doesn’t know that he has been completely abandoned and only deserves to enjoy the glory of serving His Majesty the Emperor.
Having basically established victory, the Third Battalion finally received permission to march into the city. Otherwise, they would have entered the city half an hour ago. The first target of the Third Battalion was of course the baggage warehouse.
Leng Feng, who led two infantry companies, the first fire support company and the mortar platoon of the 1st artillery company, checked with Heizi who ran over to meet him and checked the defensive terrain map of the Japanese army's baggage warehouse. Leng Feng immediately ordered his infantry to attack the Japanese baggage warehouse.
The warehouse area was attacked from both sides.
However, the attack range is 200 meters away!
Several illumination bombs fired from grenades illuminated the sky above the Japanese army's baggage warehouse position in a white light, and also made the little face of Lieutenant Oguri hiding in the fortifications pale and pale. Even without ten layers of powder, it could not show that
Effect.
He's coming, he's coming, they are coming with great force!
Lieutenant Oguri's heart screamed desperately at that moment!
Then, all his previous extravagant hopes turned out to be vain!
Leng Feng, who had been observing the Japanese position through the telescope for a while, had no intention of attacking with infantry. He seemed not to pay attention to the warehouses storing a large amount of supplies, and directly ordered the six mortars in the rear to attack the Japanese troops on top of the two warehouses.
Heavy machine gun fortifications fired.
In his original words: "The ammunition will explode, but the food will not. If it explodes just right, it will send the Japanese directly to the sky. It will be effortless."
The Japanese army baggage lieutenant who had been thinking about it for a long time unfortunately met a Chinese-style cold-blooded 'reckless man', who came up with a big iron-blooded stick!
More than a dozen consecutive artillery shells accurately hit the area around the heavy machine gun fortifications. The terrible shock waves and shrapnel not only blew up sandbags all over the sky, but also blew the 10 mm thick steel plate into a rag.
The two Type 92 heavy machine guns that were leaning against the Great Wall barely lasted more than a minute and disappeared in the face of Lieutenant Oguri's already innocent face!
But this is just the first wave of cold-blooded recklessness.
"Continue to bombard the front of the warehouse! Don't be stingy with ammunition, just bombard me! The infantry has been hidden by me to prevent the ammunition from exploding!" Leng Feng's eyes never left the telescope, and he continued to issue cold orders.
This was a good time. The six 82 mortars that took the order had no scruples and fired 60 rounds of artillery shells at the forward position of the Japanese army's heavy supplies.
Although it was said to be a position, it was actually a sandbag fortification. No matter how idle the Japanese army was, they would not dig trenches around the warehouse under the protection of the city wall.
If sandbags are piled up at key locations so that the infantry can have a hiding place, it is already a very complete fortification. When Lieutenant General Xiong Yuan came to inspect it, he could only nod his head and say it was good.
How would such a position be fought with 60 rounds of artillery shells?
It could only be blown to pieces, along with the human body inside.
Seeing his forward position and the thirty men being bombarded by the Chinese artillery and turned into scattered parts on the ground, Lieutenant Oguri's heart, which had been completely cold, fell to the point of fixation!
At this time, the sky is already slightly bright!
In his telescope, he could already see shadowy black figures flashing in the distance, but they had no intention of attacking the front and stayed at least two hundred meters away.
What does this mean? Lieutenant Oguri can guess it with his heels.
Good fellow, the Chinese are here to seize some baggage, and they are here to blow up the baggage, along with their hundreds of defenders.
