Chapter 1187: Send 10,000 Mouths
Tonghua was not a bait, but as the cold winter began, the little devils lacked clothes and food, and the Chinese army continued to send supplies to the little devils.
Food and clothing seem to be more important than the lives of soldiers at this time, how can a little devil who has endured it for so long be able to endure it anymore?
So the little devil decided to make a risky move.
According to the idea of the little devil commander, if they agree, they will be able to obtain the supplies to survive this winter! If he can't win, it's better than his soldiers fleeing this winter, anyway, there will be a battle with the Chinese army, even if they can't win, they can consume the strength of the Chinese army.
Since ancient times, if you do not have the belief that you will win a war, you can already see the results of this battle.
How can the commander of the little devil win this battle purely for opportunism?
The information obtained before the war was all lied by his soldiers, and many little devils have lost the faith they have kept all their lives for the sake of a bite to eat.
Although the Chinese army stationed in Tonghua was only the strength of one corps, two divisions were stationed outside the city and one division was stationed inside the city.
And a division stationed in the city has only one regiment of troops on defense, and the other troops are helping the people rebuild their homes!
Obviously, the defense in Tonghua City gave the little devils hope, which made the little devils ready to move, and their personnel were able to disguise themselves as refugees to blend into the city, let the city be chaotic first, and then they would attack from the outside, and they would inevitably take Tonghua as if they were in the palm of their hand.
"Division commander, the military headquarters telegraphed, our intelligence personnel analyzed that the Japanese army may have some action against us in the near future!"
It's just that the little devils have scouts, and the Chinese army also has a large number of intelligence officers who are constantly getting information from the little devils, keeping an eye on the little devils' every move.
The Japanese army could never have imagined that they had just started to use troops, and they were discovered by Chinese intelligence officers and spread to Tonghua as quickly as possible.
"Hehe, the little devil still didn't hold back after all! But this information does not say any time, alas, alas! ”
"Commander, how should we arrange it?"
"Do you think the little devil will change what to do with attacking Tonghua?" The division commander asked rhetorically.
"There are already two divisions outside the city, and we have Commander Ma assisting to the west, I can't figure out how the Japanese can break through our defenses."
Judging from the way the defenders are in charge, the defense of Tonghua City is very perfect, if they had just broken through Tonghua, the Japanese army took the opportunity to counterattack, there might still be a chance, but now it seems to be an impossible task.
"The city defense is indeed complete, but the city is a mess!"
The only drawback of Tonghua City now is the instability in the city, the people have no place to live, let alone order at all, and there is only one regiment in the regular defense of a huge city.
"Division commander, do you mean that the Japanese army may send people to infiltrate the city?"
"It's not possible, it's that someone has been sent to infiltrate the city! The work in the city can't be stopped these days, don't let the little devils find out the abnormality, strengthen patrols inside, and guard against Japanese spies! ”
In the event of a battle, they will inevitably cause chaos in the city to contain the defenders in the city, resulting in the city defense of Tonghua only having one outer layer of defense.
It is also a very good thing for the Chinese army to be able to consume some Japanese troops at this time, first of all, it can weaken the strength of the Japanese army around Fushun, and secondly, it can reduce the scourge of some little devils to the people.
There was no need to fight this battle, but it was idle in winter, and it was not good to fight an offensive war, but it was a good choice to fight a defensive war.
Naturally, the Japanese army will not choose to attack Tonghua openly, and after several years of war between the two sides, the little devils have gradually realized the strength of the Chinese army, and they are no longer the opponent of the Chinese army in offensive battles.
Especially when they march during the day, there are reconnaissance planes of the Chinese army in the sky, and just about to be dispatched, all their offensive plans will be exposed to the Chinese army.
Therefore, the time for the Japanese army to move was very limited.
I have to say that after so many years of fighting with the Chinese army, the little devil still learned a lot of things, tunnel warfare, and raids in the dark have learned a lot from the Chinese army.
However, it is not a wise choice to deal with the master with what he has learned from the master, after all, it is not clear whether the master has a cracking move.
The Japanese army has been forced by winter to have no choice, there is only this way to go, either by the severe cold to reduce more than half of the soldiers, or to fall on the way to charge.
However, God is not beautiful, God does not look at the little devil, maybe the little devil is really doing all the bad things, and it is time to be damned.
If there is an accurate weather forecast at this time, the little devil may not choose to attack at night.
That night, the temperature reached more than minus 40 degrees, and the water turned into ice!
The Japanese army didn't expect it to be so cold when they set off that night, God opened his eyes, he couldn't get used to seeing these beasts continue to do evil.
From Fushun to the front line of Tonghua, although the distance is not far, the number of frostbitten personnel of the Japanese army along the way has reached more than 1,000.
The cold weather is a huge enemy, and the short distance makes the little devil lose more than a thousand combat power.
In addition, the cold weather was unbearable, and there was no way for the little devils to abide by their military discipline, so when they just arrived at the front of Tonghua, they were discovered by the Chinese army.
Before we could get in touch with the people in the city, the battle outside the city broke out first!
The cold weather made the little devil's hand not obey the call at all, not to mention whether the bolt of the gun could not be pulled open, and when he was aiming with the gun, his whole body was shivering from the cold, how could he hit the enemy.
Maybe the little devil's * bullet also believes in the spirit of bushido, but as for the child * bullet that firmly believes in the spirit of bushido, it depends on fate.
The gunshots that rang out outside the city did not alert the people in the city, but alerted the little devils lurking in the city.
According to the plan, it should be the Japanese troops in the city who should strike first! The troops covering the outside of the city launched a surprise attack on the Chinese army.
But now it's completely reversed.
The cold winter makes the body's reaction not controlled by the brain at all, plus frostbite, and you will fall to the ground while walking!
A little sound can be transmitted far away at night, so the little devils can't help it, God is against them, and they will hit their heels when they fart.
So the plan of the Japanese army was good, but it was really difficult to execute.
After hearing the gunfire outside the city, the Japanese troops lurking in the city had no choice but to react passively!
But how many Japanese troops can lurk in Tonghua City? However, the Japanese army made a wise choice and killed directly at the command post of the Chinese army in the city.
As long as there is no command post, the command of the Chinese army will inevitably be chaotic, and they will still be able to gain the initiative on the battlefield.
The little devil's decision is very correct, since the beginning of winter, the little devil has made the right decision, but they no longer have the strength to fight against the Chinese army.
The army deployed in the city had already expected that the little devils would have such a plan, and dozens of little devils dared to rush their headquarters.
Before these dozens of little devils approached the headquarters, they were already surrounded by the Chinese army!
The little devils in the city don't have the slightest ability to resist.
However, the little devils outside the city are fighting very fiercely, although they are in the ice and snow, but the little devils are thinking that there is endless food and warm clothes in Tonghua City, as long as they win, all this belongs to them.
In the face of great temptation, the little devil has lost his mind!
Death in battle is death, freezing death is also death, and the bushido spirit of the little devil really played a role at this time! The little devil launched a death charge desperately.
The Chinese army, which had already been prepared, did not give the little devils a chance to approach their positions at all.
You must know that white-knuckle battles are all stunned and afraid of dying, and the little devils are not dying, if the two sides start to fight bayonets, it is inevitable that there will be a situation where one thousand enemies are killed and eight hundred are lost.
The Chinese army doesn't want this to happen, the weapons in their hands are superior to the little devils, how can they choose to die with the little devils.
The Japanese charged as if they were dying, and the firepower network formed by the Chinese army would not allow the little devils to come close to the front of their position thirty meters.
Night turned into day, and the smoke of gunpowder turned day into night.
The little devil's attack is no longer in order, like a sparrow in a cage, only knows how to rampage, and doesn't care whether he will be killed or not.
The entire Tonghua shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth, and within a radius of 100 miles, I am afraid that no one could fall asleep.
After a night of fighting, more than 10,000 Japanese troops attacked, and no one went back! The blood on the ground coagulated, and the corpses could not be separated from the ground, and they had already frozen together.
"How much did our army lose in last night's battle?"
Last night, the Japanese army charged non-stop, and the battle did not stop all night! There will inevitably be casualties in such a battle.
"Report to the army commander, our division suffered less than 2,000 casualties, of which more than 300 were frostbitten, and the temperature yesterday was too evil, and the corpses of the little devils could not be separated from the ground until now."
"After this battle, the Japanese army did not dare to attack in a short time, and the corpse of the little devil was burned on the spot, and there was no need to pretend to be buried!"
The Japanese attack on Tonghua from their commanders to the soldiers had no intention of returning alive to starve and freeze, and no matter whether they won or lost, they no longer expected their former glory of the Great Japanese Empire.
The battle is not bothering everyone, what haunts Tonghua is the corpses all over the ground! The corpses could not be moved at all, they were already stuck to the ground, and they had to be burned on the spot.
The battle in Tonghua did not have much bad impact on the little devils, on the contrary, they also reduced 10,000 mouths to eat, although it was a drop in the bucket, but if they could save a little ration, they would have hope to survive the winter.
After surviving the winter, they will have a way to survive next year, and the Japanese commanders believe that they can still hold Fushun and hope that they will be able to make a comeback of the Japanese Empire.
But...... To make a comeback, you have to have enough strength!
