Chapter 159: Chain Reaction
9.159 Chain Reaction
"Noz give!"
The waving saber, the frantic roar, and then the crooked handle of the little Japanese appeared, Feng Bald knew that once the devil's machine gun sounded, his subordinates would definitely be damaged, so he immediately shouted: "Aquatic! ”
"Dang!"
This was the sound of a bullet hitting the steel helmet, and the Japanese soldier's crooked ammunition hand watched as a hole was made in the head of the machine gunner next to him, and the bullet was fired from the place where the small red sun was painted in front of the steel helmet, killing him with one hit!
Just as the ammunition man was still hesitating to take over the dead shooter to use the crooked handle machine gun, there was another crisp sound, and another shot pierced the ammunition man's steel helmet, taking the ammunitionman's life. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The sneak attack carried out by the 4th Battalion finally achieved a complete victory, and at least more than 10 Japanese soldiers were killed in the battle, and the 2nd squad also successfully destroyed the Type 92 heavy machine gun set up by the Japanese army at the front of the 4th Battalion, and none of the 12 officers and men, including the platoon commander Feng, were injured.
The appearance of the Soviet infantry squad is very exciting!
Some people are happy, and naturally some people will be sad, and on the opposite side of the 4th battalion position, the ghost soldiers who were teased by the 2nd squad can be said to be at the bottom.
According to the previous practice of the 6th Division, if it was played so badly by the Chinese army, it was bound to launch a counteroffensive "shame". But the timing of the 4th battalion commander Lu Sanqiang's choice of a sneak attack this time was too coincidental, just thirty minutes ago, Abe Shaosa, who was appointed as the "executive officer", had just come to this position to "take away" more than a dozen seriously wounded and sick Japanese soldiers, although the remaining Japanese officers and soldiers did not dare to tell the truth directly in front of the commander, but their emotions were obviously impacted!
Before the decisive battle with the Chinese army, the 6th Division began to kill its own people first! Faced with such a cruel truth, the devil soldiers fell into chaos. All of a sudden, even the sentinels standing guard fell into a short-circuit of thought.
It was precisely because the Japanese army fell into civil strife that Feng Bald and the others were able to touch the front of the Japanese army's position so smoothly, until the grenades exploded one after another on the top of the devils' heads, and the Japanese troops in the trenches remembered that they were above the line of fire. When they picked up their guns to carry out a counterattack, they were hit one after another by the Deg Galev light machine gun and the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 sniper rifle, that is, after such a little delay, Feng Bald left calmly in the 2nd squad and returned to the position of the 4th Battalion more than 100 meters away.
The success of this sneak attack by the Chinese army was tantamount to another slap in the face of the 6th Division, and after witnessing the powerful defeat displayed by the Chinese army, the officers and men of the 6th Division on the forward position could not help but feel a little disheartened! Can they really break out of the encirclement formed by such an adversary? I'm afraid I'll really have to ask Amaterasu to help!
**************************************************************************
Jiujiang, the headquarters of the 11th Army of the Central China Dispatch Army, Okamura Ninji sat by the huge military map and fell into deep thought.
By 12 noon on September 29, Okamura Ninji's 11th Army could be said to be under control at every turn. First, the 101st Division was trapped in the Lushan area and could not make a breakthrough, and even the division commander, Lieutenant General Masaki Ito, was wounded; Then there was the 6th Division of Inaba Shiro that was besieged by Huang Haoran and between Huangmei Guangji, and the reinforcements of the 27th Division were unable to make progress for a long time; After that, Junrokuro Matsuura's 106th Division ran headlong into the Jinguanqiao defense line arranged by Xue Yue.
In this way, the four army divisions of the 11th Army were all in trouble, and Okamura Ninji no longer had the troops to further change the situation! The only force at his disposal now was the Pota detachment besieging the fortress of Mada, the only battlefield where the 11th Army was on the offensive, although victory was still far away.
What a disaster!
The situation on the battlefield in Wuhan is changing so fast!
When Okamura Ninji ordered the 106th Division to attack the Jinguan Bridge as the main attack vanguard on September 25, the prospects for the 11th Army were already very bad.
In the first few days of the attack, the division commander, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Songura, used all the artillery fire of the 106th Division and bombers to indiscriminately bombard the positions of the Chinese defenders at Jinguanqiao. For a time, dozens of hilltop positions on the front line of Jinguanqiao were covered with smoke and dust, and the flames were soaring into the sky. The inexperienced Chinese defenders, the 8th and 70th armies, suffered considerable losses, and most of their positions were blown into scorched earth. It seemed that the Jinguan Bridge would soon be broken by the Japanese and shatter the defensive line set up by the Chinese on the Nanxun Line in one fell swoop.
However, Okamura Ninji soon discovered that he had miscalculated, and that it was the 1st Corps of the 9th Theater of Operations under the command of Xue Yue that was in charge of fighting along the Nanxun Line and the 11th Army, which was a very effective force. In this battle of Wuhan, Xue Yue commanded 10 armies and 26 divisions, bent on avenging Lan Feng's revenge.
The battle was fought a little south of Jiujiang after the Chengmen Lake-Jinguanqiao-Lushan line was fully fought. Xue Yue led the 70th Army, the 64th Army, and the 8th Army to resist very stubbornly in the face of the combined attack of Japanese infantry, artillery, tanks, and aviation. By September 28, Junrokuro Matsuura, the commander of the 106th Division, had to report to Okamura Ninji that his 106th Division could no longer fight!
"From 25 September to 28 September, our unit was subjected to tough resistance from the enemy in front of it. Our army's offensive has repeatedly risen and persevered, the enemy has repeatedly counterattacked, held on and never retreated, changed hands many times, and the two sides have repeatedly tug-of-war, and they are still in a state of stalemate. So far, the casualties among the generals and colonels of our unit have been serious, and half of the casualties at the middle and squad leader level in the subordinate units have been achieved, and eight officers at and above the rank of junior high have been killed or wounded, including two wing commanders and six group commanders. ”
One can imagine how gloomy Okamura felt after reading the telegram sent by Junrokuro Matsuura! Only about four days after the start of the war, the junior and higher ranks of the Matsuura Division suffered such heavy casualties, and the casualties of the junior soldiers can be imagined. It seemed that the 106th Division alone would not be able to achieve its intended operational objectives. Okamura had to make new adjustments in the hope of breaking the impasse as soon as possible.
But at this juncture, Okamura Ninji received a telegram from Shiro Inaba from the encirclement of the Chinese army, and the 6th Division had reached the point where it could no longer be maintained! Inaba Shiro decided to break through the entire line in the early morning of September 30, trying to break through the defense line set by Huang Haoran in the Huangmei area and complete the convergence with the 27th Division.
At the same time, Inaba Shiro also reported this plan to the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, General Tian Shunroku, and the Tokyo Military Department, and soon Okamura Ninji received telegrams from General Tian Shunroku and Lu Xiang Sakagaki Seishiro, and these two bigwigs coincidentally demanded in the telegram that Okamura Ninji must put the liberation of the 6th Division in the most important position, and the emperor must not allow the 6th Division to follow in the footsteps of the 114th Division......
