Chapter 614: Night Attack on Xiangshan
On the 24th, the Japanese attack made no progress, but lost its troops. And the national army was not much better, except for the second brigade, which suffered more than half of the casualties, other units also suffered casualties of varying degrees.
Night is beginning to fall, and it seems that Madang Fortress is about to return to its former calm. However, one of the troops had already sharpened their knives and waited for darkness to come. They are falcons.
I don't know why, Shao Fei likes the observation post in the Changshan position very much. Here, you can not only monitor the movement of the Japanese army, but also the scenery of the Yangtze River and mountains. Especially in the evening, the scenery is even more beautiful.
"I know you're here, and I actually like it here."
Bao Changyi's face was gray and cold, and he looked at the river with his naked eyes.
Shao Fei moved away from the viewing scope and asked, "Is there any news of reinforcements?"
"yes." Bao Changyi kept looking at the river, as if he didn't want Shao Fei to see his ugly face, and then said with a wry smile: "They are actually lost, and now they are trapped in the mountains."
Shao Fei didn't know what to say to comfort Bao Changyi's helpless mood at this time, and he felt ridiculous, pathetic, and lamentable.
Bao Changyi breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "There is nothing terrible about the Japanese army, but sometimes I feel that my own people are even more terrible. We did not lose to the Japanese aircraft artillery, but we lost to our own selfishness. ”
Bao Changyi is not as confident as before. Even with today's victory, he remained pessimistic about the prospects of the fortress.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the key to this battle is reinforcements. Otherwise, today, the Japanese army knew that the terrain was unfavorable, and they would have to storm the Changshan position.
Shao Fei looked at the river and said, "At least today you played the prestige of Chinese soldiers and annihilated the Japanese army three times." Even if Madang is lost, it will not become a joke of history. History will remember Madang Fortress, the Second Navy Corps, and you, Commander Bao Changyi. ”
Shao Fei exhaled and continued, "I think they're stupid. Such as Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie in the Battle of Lanfeng, as well as the current Li Yunheng and Xue Weiying. ”
This made Bao Changyi curious, and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Shao Fei said: "They treat the army as a private corps and political capital, and they flee from the battlefield. But as a result, they were all dismissed. The army is gone, the reputation is stinking, and future generations cannot hold their heads up because of them. ”
"That's right."
Bao Changyi was relieved. Soldiering is the profession that is most likely to be remembered for a hundred years and left behind for thousands of years.
Shao Fei said with a smile: "In fact, the stupidest person is Xue Weiying, the commander of the 167th Division. The chairman of the committee may be reluctant to kill a military commander, but he still has a hand in killing a division commander. If the 167th Division did not arrive at the fortress in time, I dare to conclude that he was the second Long Muhan. Someone always has to carry the black cauldron, not to mention that he is to blame. ”
"Report!"
At this time, the pillar came over and saluted: "The troops are ready, ready to set off at any time."
Bao Changyi didn't understand very well and asked, "Isn't it better to set off in the middle of the night?"
Shao Fei explained: "If it was another enemy, I might have set off in the middle of the night, but the other party was Botian. He knows falcons and will guard against me. But during the day he was busy clearing mines and setting up positions. When I arrived, it was getting dark, and maybe he was laying out a plan against me. But the falcon had come to him and wanted his life! ”
The last sentence: to his life! Shao Fei leaked a fierce light, and even a veteran general like Bao Changyi felt a trace of fear in his heart.
"Let's go!"
"Yes!"
The assault team is divided into three groups: 12 members of the special combat team; 12 members of the Navy Corps; The 60th Division, which was originally responsible for defending the Xiangshan position, was 12 people.
Equipment: One Czech submachine gun per person (plus one rifle for the special combat team), equipped with enough explosives and grenades.
Knife had already figured out the general disposition of the enemy when he returned from Xiangshan, and the twelve soldiers of the 60th Division were very familiar with the terrain of Xiangshan, and as for the soldiers of the naval corps, they were responsible for firing artillery.
There are two positions in the east and southeast of Xiangshan, which are in the shape of a ladder and are about 60 meters deep. Pota placed his artillery position southwest of the position.
At this time, Shigeichi Hata was not on the mountain, and there were two squadrons stationed in the Xiangshan position. Two brigades were stationed at the foot of the mountain and in the Xiangkou area. All the forces in this area are the second wing of the Potian detachment.
Shao Fei took this one to easily bypass the devil's frontal position and go southwest.
This area is sparsely wooded, but overgrown with shrubs and weeds, making it an excellent place for seclusion.
Led by the knife, the group came to the southwest of Xiangshan, which is almost close to the top of the mountain.
The terrain in this area is on the high side, and the altitude is even higher than the Changshan position of the national army. If the two sides launch an artillery bombardment, the national army will inevitably lose the upper hand.
In the hideout, Shao Fei looked at the enemy artillery position. The front is flat and is the best place for artillery positions.
However, the Japanese have not yet placed infantry guns in place. On that flat ground, the lights were bright, and dozens of devils were rushing to work. After all, this is a mountainous area, with uneven heights.
The knife was in the grass, and he asked softly, "Action?" Unleash a surprise attack and the battle will be resolved in three minutes. ”
"Wait." Shao Fei waved his hand, turned his head and asked the soldiers of the 60th Division on the side: "We are interspersed here." I ask you, is there a path to this from the devil's position? If reinforcements arrive, how long will it take? ”
The soldier thought for a moment and said, "Report to the sir, there are two in total. The larger ones are farther away, and it takes five minutes; The trail is close, and you can get here in three minutes by running. ”
Shao Fei looked at the position in front of him and said, "I want these cannons, let them rush to work for us first."
Zhu Zi smiled and said, "Captain, do you want to occupy the entire Xiangshan with more than 30 people?"
Shao Fei replied: "That's what it means. I've recently invented a new tactic, so let's try it out with this group of devils. ”
Knife asked, "What tactic?"
"We'll find out later."
Immediately, Shao Fei ordered: "Pillars and knives, you take your own people to the main road and the small road to plant explosives, and the distance is close to the enemy's position." The rest rested. ”
The special operations team took the explosives and left in two ways. Shao Fei led the others to retreat, hiding in the bushes in the distance.
"Sir, why are you so good at fighting?"
"Tell me about it. We all came down from Xuzhou, and they passed you on like immortals, invulnerable. ”
"We want to know too. Originally, I didn't believe it, but I believed it when you were guarding the riverside position. In that completely unfavorable situation, you can also destroy enemies several times your own. ”
“……”
Those people rarely met the legendary falcon and fought alongside them, and they were honored to know how to become stronger.
Shao Fei smiled: "You all want to know?"
"I want to~ Of course I do."
"We want to be heroes, too."
“……”
Shao Fei stretched out two fingers and said, "You only need to meet two points." First, you need to use your brain to fight a war, think more about the surrounding environment, and what the enemy is thinking; Second, be tough as a soldier! Excellent military skills, excellent physical fitness, and even more strong will. ”
One soldier replied, "Oh~ that's as simple as that."
Shao Fei smiled: "Often the simple things are the hardest. It's easy to do a simple thing, but it's hard to do it consistently. My team members have accumulated both combat experience and skills over the years. ”
A naval lieutenant said: "I understand, you have to stick to everything you do." It's really easier said than done. ”
Shao Fei patted the lieutenant and said, "The son can be taught." Anyone can say a lot of big truths, but few people do it. ”
Half an hour later, the special forces rushed back. And the devils in front have also begun to arrange artillery.
The time was ripe, and Shao Fei began to arrange assault missions.
The special combat team first dealt with the outlying sentinels, and then dispersed to conceal them; The other two assault teams launched raids from the south and west at a 45-degree angle.
After the task is assigned, everyone disperses to their own actions.
The devils on the artillery position did not know that the catastrophe was coming, and after finishing their work, they were ready to rest with their tired bodies.
"Bang!" "Bang!" “……”
Several gunshots rang out, and several machine gunners near the machine guns were directly headshot, dying near the fortifications.
Before the other devils could react, gunfire erupted in the south and west directions.
"Dadada" "......"
Twelve men on each side, each with a submachine gun in their hands, moved and fired at the artillery positions.
Some devils were caught off guard and were directly beaten into a sieve. The rest of the devils scurried around with their heads in their hands, looking for a hidden place.
"Hidden! Take cover! ”
A devil commander shouted from the crowd, "Bang! A shot was shot in the head by Xiucai.
Xiucai pulled down the bolt and said, "Tell you to shout."
The special combat team is in the middle of the hideout, and they are only responsible for sniping and killing the devils who are preparing to counterattack, and the rest is not taken care of.
Under the cover of twelve snipers, the devil had no room to fight back, and could only be shot alive by the enemies on the other two sides.
The raid ended quickly. Eliminating the dozens of unsuspecting people was not difficult for Shao Fei. Next, they will face two squadrons that have been prepared for a long time.
Shao Fei asked the lieutenant of the Navy Army: "Do you know the direction and distance?"
The lieutenant replied, "I know." To tell the truth, we are all artillery on the ship, which was specially arranged by General Bao Changyi. ”
"That's good. You can run out of shells for me, and the reinforcements will be handed over to us. ”
"Yes!"
Subsequently, Shao Fei left with the special combat team and another commando team to block the devils who rushed to reinforce them.
