Chapter 446: The Fall of the First Division (4)

Faced with the speechless terrain of Hulu Valley, the Japanese soldiers began to charge forward one after another. However, the terrain of the 12th Brigade of the Northeast Army has already been completely constructed, and there is sufficient ammunition. The Japanese attacks were defused by them one by one.

The Japanese soldiers, who launched several rapid attacks, did not achieve any combat results except for the loss of considerable troops. In this case, the Japanese army could only pin their hopes of fighting on the Japanese artillery.

Boom, boom!

The heavy artillery wing of the 1st Division finally began to wield. Since the Northeast Army's wolf pack operation began, the Japanese army's heavy artillery has not opened in Lishi. The Northeast Army fought a large-scale movement war, slippery and dead, and the heavy artillery units were extremely cumbersome. The Japanese army was reluctant to concentrate a large number of war horses to strengthen the mobility of heavy artillery, which roughly caused the Northeast Army to complete the construction of positions from the attack to the withdrawal. The wolf pack action of the Northeast Army was tantamount to the abolition of the Japanese army's strategic heavy artillery at one time. This is also the reason why the Japanese army has always been in a passive state. Japan is an island country lacking in resources, and the idea of army building is very economical, and the total automatic firepower of the Japanese army is far from being comparable with the troops of Western countries at the same time. Even after World War II, Japan's firepower was not high. Rifles are the majority of soldiers, so that consumption can be reduced to the greatest extent possible. This is also the reason why the marksmanship of the Japanese soldiers is relatively accurate, after all, only the marksmanship is accurate. Only then can you see when the level of firepower is not good, and not suffer a big loss in battle.

However, this lack of firepower is easy to make the Japanese army rely heavily on strategic weapons on the battlefield, such as the heavy artillery unit at this time, the indestructible heavy artillery, no unit can resist. If, of course, the enemy has the same heavy artillery. It was also difficult for the Japanese army to please. In World War II, in addition to heavy artillery, bombers became the biggest strategic weapon, and at that time, Japanese aircraft were almost insolvable in China. This is also the reason why the general battles of the Kuomintang, composed of hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops, always collapsed, and there were problems in command, and the differences in strategic weapons were also huge reasons. After all, at that time, there was an extreme shortage of heavy artillery, and the performance of the aircraft could not be compared with the Japanese army.

Boom Boom!

The Japanese heavy artillery was powerful, and the Japanese soldiers let out a burst of earth-shattering cheers. The Japanese soldiers began to think about the position and charged. After all, the soldiers of the 1st Division were the absolute elite of Japan, and the infantry and artillery coordination were extremely skillful, and they soon rushed to the foot of the gourd valley, not far from the position of the Northeast Army.

Da Da Da ...... There was a roar of machine guns. There was a sudden chaos in the rear of the Japanese army. Heavy gunfire showed that the battle was sudden and intense.

"Attack, attack, attack at all costs!" Behind a hill, the 1st Division formed a temporary headquarters and directed the troops to capture the position in front of them.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Chinese army is attacking from the rear. We're under a lot of pressure! Do you want to turn the muzzles of some of the heavy artillery to support the troops behind the palace? Major General Hanzo Yamanashi suggested.

"No, it's obvious that the Zhina army has already been prepared, I'm afraid we have fallen into an encirclement, and the only chance to survive is to break the position in front of us and rush over." Lieutenant General Shibagoro said loudly.

"But the terrain on the other side is ......," Rear Admiral Hanzo Yamanashi said in a deep voice.

"No matter what the terrain is, send a telegram to a wing and ask them to capture the opposite position at all costs, if they can't rush through, we may all die here!" Lieutenant General Shiba Goro said in a deep voice.

"Hay!" Major General Hanzo Yamanashi, of course, knew that the division commander was right. However, it was difficult to capture the opposite position in a short period of time.

The heavy artillery of the Japanese army did cause decisive problems for the 12th Brigade of the Northeast Army on the Hulu Valley. After all, the lethality of heavy artillery is not covered.

"Order the artillery regiment to open fire! Grandma's, we don't have heavy artillery though. But now the large forces of the Japanese army are shrouded in the range of ordinary artillery, and the enemy's artillery must not be allowed to dominate the front! "This is the order of the commander of the 12th brigade. In the Northeast Army, only the 1st to 12th Brigades, the twelve most elite brigades, were equipped with artillery regiments and 36 60-mm mountain guns. This is also the treatment of the old seed troops.

Although the artillery battle between the two anti-dumpers was lively, the artillery of the Northeast Army had the absolute upper hand, and it was quickly suppressed by the Japanese artillery fire, and the basic artillery was already blown up. No way, the lethality of heavy artillery is too great.

The Japanese soldiers finally approached less than 100 meters from the position, but unfortunately what awaited them were mortars and heavy machine guns of the Northeast Army.

The nightmarish sound of boom bang da caused huge losses to the Japanese soldiers who were attacking intensively. In just five minutes, more than a brigade of Japanese soldiers had fallen on the hundred-meter-wide battlefield, and the losses were still increasing. In order to build a position, the Northeast Army cleared all the obstacles in its field of view, creating a flat and clear angle of fire, and no matter how the Japanese were hiding, this area was a dead Jedi.

After several attacks and losses, the Japanese front finally sent a request, hoping that the divisional artillery wing could participate in the battle to relieve their pressure. Although the heavy artillery was suppressed, it was difficult to kill all the soldiers of the Northeast Army in a short period of time. In addition, the mountain artillery of the Northeast Army often targeted the soldiers of the Japanese army, which invisibly increased the losses of the Japanese army.

The battlefield is stalemate, one for honor, the other for survival, and the strangulation between the two sides is becoming more and more bloody. But this is both a battlefield, and once the war starts, it will not stop fighting.

Mukden, headquarters of the Liaodong Theater of Operations.

"Operation Wolf Pack is finally coming to an end! If you continue to consume it, it will be a little more than worth the loss! Jiang Baili said with a smile. He was not only happy about the victory on the battlefield, but also the appearance of another general in charge of the Northeast Army. And definitely a well-deserved handsome talent.

"The young marshal's vision really didn't say, Zhang Xiaoshan is becoming more and more mature now. I heard that the guy mixed well in Tibet, he had suppressed several lama riots, completely controlled the situation, and the British compromised! That's a good job! Jiang Baili had a look of admiration on his face. Among them, Feng Yong's vision is even more surprising, you must know that these people Feng Yong values are now playing an irreplaceable role in their respective fields, and I really don't know what credentials Feng Yong valued at that time.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the Southeast Military Region is in an emergency!" While Jiang Baili was pondering, an operational staff officer walked in with an anxious face and said.

Jiang Baili received the telegram, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he sighed for a long time. "Forward this telegram to the young marshal, we need to wait for the young marshal's decision." ”

This telegram coincided with the arrival of the Japanese Fourth Division and the Eighth Division on the banks of the Yalu River, and the total strength of the Japanese troops on the banks of the Yalu River was almost 100,000. With such a large number of Japanese troops, led by two permanent divisions of the Japanese army, the battle situation was very unfavorable to the Northeast. Moreover, after the arrival of the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army, there were already small units that wanted to infiltrate Jiangbei, but they were resolutely attacked by the Northeast Army, and now the two sides are tense and may have another stormy and tragic battle at any time. can only report to Feng Yong, after all, Feng Yong is the real master of the Northeast.

South-Eastern Military District.

"Lao Liu! What's going on in the 8th Division, you killed their two squadrons of reconnaissance troops, they can't do nothing, right? Lin Hu asked in a low voice.

"Of course there is movement, after we ate the two squadrons of the little devils, a wing of the eighth division of the little devils once drove to the bank of the Yalu River, but unfortunately I don't know why it was withdrawn again! It's boring! Liu Hei said.

The Eighth Division arrived at noon yesterday, and at the time of arrival, it ruled out that two squadrons wanted to cross the Yalu River to reconnoiter the Northeast Army. Just entered the Liu Hei Defense Zone. Liu Heidang was not polite, and he didn't know how to be polite to the dishes sent to the door.

"Lao Cao, where are you? You're the Fourth Division, and the Japanese army should be the farther forward it is, the stronger the combat effectiveness, right? Lin Hu said to Cao Zheng, who was silent.

"Who knows! His grandmother's, the Fourth Division rushed to the edge of the Yalu River one step earlier than the Eighth Division, but who knew that the Fourth Division did not send troops at all, and there was not even a shadow of the soldiers of the Fourth Division on the riverside. I really don't know what's going on? Cao Zheng said a little depressed. It is said that the unknown enemy is the most terrifying, and now Cao Zheng is facing such a problem, Liu Hei has already fought with the Eighth Division. Although it was only two squadrons, it gave them a certain understanding of the fighting style and combat effectiveness of the 8th Division. Lin Hu: Opposite them was the remnants of the North Korean army. After a month of entanglement, they already know each other well. In addition to the previous battles, the DPRK army has almost lost its essence, and although it has been replenished, a large number of officers in the DPRK army have been arrested, and now the DPRK army is being reorganized, and it is difficult to do anything in a short period of time. Only the Fourth Division faced by Cao Zheng was calm, which made people feel painful. Not only did the soldiers not show up, but they didn't even build defensive positions.

"No matter what, you still have to be absolutely careful, your combat effectiveness is very strong in the standing division of the Japanese army, we must be clear about this, now there is not much difference between the strength of the enemy and us, our advantage is very small, and the Japanese army has a fifth division about to join here, and then our pressure will only be greater. So, we can't pass up any opportunity to get to know the enemy! Lin Hu said in a deep voice.

Liu Hei nodded and said: "I don't know how the next battle will be fought, if you still lure the enemy deeper, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end the war in the southeast in a short time?" Although Liu Hei was cold and belligerent, he keenly saw some clues from the logistics supply of the Northeast Army, so for the first time, the idea of longing for the end of the war appeared in his heart.

"It's better to fight, it's better not to fight! However, as long as the Japanese army sets foot on the land of the northeast, we will fight to the end, this is the mission of our soldiers! Lin Hu said in a deep voice.
