4.84 Battle of Baoshan (3)

The Japanese troops attacking Baoshan County were old acquaintances of the 99th Army, the 10th Infantry Brigade. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The vanguard commander of the devil was Yongjin Sabi Daisa, who escaped death at Chuanshakou, and the three infantry brigades under his 22nd Wing were wiped out by the 99th Division in Shachang Town, and the commander of Yongjin Zuobi Wing hid on the beach for 1 day and 1 night before escaping to the landing ground of the Japanese army.

Nagatsu Sabisa, who changed his roundabout attack plan without authorization and lost hundreds of soldiers, was almost cut in two by the enraged commander of the Amatani Shinjiro Brigade, and it was the repeated requests of his colleagues that allowed Nagatsu Sabi to get this opportunity to be humiliated.

Shinjiro Amaya re-handed over the replenished 22nd Wing to Eitsu Sabi, who was now tasked with conquering Komiaoshan, an outpost ---- the county seat of Baoshan.

When he learned that the Chinese army stationed at Xiaomiao Mountain was the 99th Army that had brought him to this point, the eyes of the captain of Yongjin Zuobi began to be congested!

It seems that Amaterasu is also going to give Captain Nagatsu Sabi a chance to save face!

Is there a better way to take revenge than to take Xiaomiao Mountain from the 99th Army?

Yongjin Zuo has no way to retreat, and only by taking Xiaomiao Mountain can he save his dog's life.

The Japanese troops of the 22nd Wing, at the urging of Nagatsu Sabi, were left at the forefront of all Japanese troops and were the first to arrive at the attack position.

The vengeful Nagatsu Sabi Daisa is no longer fighting alone this time, and the 22nd Wing came with the tank brigade and heavy artillery units that had just landed, and the 11th Division at this moment showed the strength of a real elite division of the Japanese Army.

Huang Haoran set up his military headquarters between Luodian and Dachang, which is not far from the next two main battlefields, Baoshan and Luodian, Huang Haoran understands that the battle will become more and more difficult, and every move of the troops affects Huang Haoran's heart.

The Japanese attack in the direction of Luodian is not very strong for the time being, Shen Laoer's 301 Brigade combat effectiveness is the strongest in the 99th Army, plus the vanguard of the 51st Division from Jiading is now less than 2 hours away from Luodian, so the Japanese army on this road cannot set off any storms for the time being.

The situation on the Baoshan side defended by the 302nd Brigade and the 12th Brigade is completely different, the news that there is a Japanese brigade near Yuepu has been confirmed, and the 3rd Division in the direction of Wusong is also rapidly approaching Baoshan, who dares to guarantee that the 3rd Division will not join the Baoshan battlefield?

Wang Shankui and Xie Wendong may not have a good time in the future.

The 302nd Brigade and the 12th Temporary Brigade may have to face a strong attack by the Japanese army with more than one division at any time, and there is no favorable defensive position and commanding heights in the Baoshan area, and in the face of the elite divisions of the Japanese army, the losses of the troops are indispensable.

This is also the reason why Huang Haoran also equipped the main force of the artillery regiment in the direction of Baoshan.

The 99th Army did not take any advantage in the fight with the Japanese army this time, and collided with tens of thousands of devils face-to-face.

In terms of heavy firepower, the Japanese army has an absolute advantage, and such a passive defensive battle is not easy to fight, and it would be a lie to say that you are not worried!

What makes Huang Haoran feel unsteady the most is that now he has no reserves in his hands except for the guard battalion and the engineer regiment, and Huang Haoran, who has always liked to put away a powerful fist and launch a counterattack against the Japanese army at any time, feels that the feeling of insufficient troops is too uncomfortable.

It seems that it has to expand its strength as soon as possible, and the 99th Army, which only has one division and one brigade, will inevitably have to be tied up when fighting.

**********************************************

At five o'clock in the morning on September 1, after the frantic shelling, the Japanese 10th Brigade knocked on the door strongly!

The soldiers of the 10th Brigade were divided into three routes, all the way to Xiaomiao Mountain, that is, the small hill that relied on each other with Baoshan County, all the way to Baoshan County, and all the way to the highway bridge leading to Liuhang Town in the west of Baoshan City.

The three attacks of the 11th Division are all heading towards the key point of the Baoshan defenders, and no matter which of these three attacks is successful, the Baoshan defense line of the 99th Army will be completely shaken!

What a ruthless trick!

Wang Shankui knew that the 10th Brigade had displayed 10% of its strength this time, and the 302nd Brigade's blocking battle at Chuanshakou, which was in full swing at the right time and place, could no longer be used as a basis for referring to the combat strength of this Japanese army.

Xiaomiaoshan, which is more than 1 mile away from the county seat of Baoshan, is an important defensive fulcrum, where Wang Shankui placed the 4th battalion of the 537th Regiment and the 3rd company of the 12th Brigade.

Xiaomiao Mountain was originally a lonely hill on the edge of Baoshan County, because there is a small mountain temple in the middle of the mountain, it is said to be a mountain, but in fact, the height is only 315 meters, and you can climb to the top of the mountain in ten minutes.

Xiaomiaoshan and Baoshan County rely on each other, and the loss of any point will cause the entire Baoshan defense system to lose its center of gravity, which may cause the collapse of the overall situation.

If Xiaomiao Mountain is in our hands, our army is condescending, controlling the road leading to Baoshan County, and clamping down on the attack momentum of the Japanese army.

If the Japanese army captures Xiaomiao Mountain, the Japanese army will attack from now on, and the Baoshan County is likely to fall in one go!

As long as you stick to this small hill, rely on each other with Baoshan County, and make good use of the trenches and field fortifications on the periphery of the county, this defensive battle in Baoshan can be supported!

It is precisely because of the particularity of Xiaomiao Mountain that the battle here is particularly cruel!

The devil made a bloody investment this time, and sent a full 24 planes to bomb, plus the naval artillery bombardment that lasted for 45 minutes, it seems that the devil wants to raze Xiaomiao Mountain to the ground, and then let the infantry drive directly up to receive the position.

Some of the bunkers on the hilltop positions were not strong enough and collapsed during the shelling, and there were also some obstacles that were directly hit by the Japanese large-caliber naval guns and flew into the sky, but fortunately there was no one in these fortifications, so there were no casualties.

The officers and men of the 4th Battalion had long been mentally prepared for such wanton and indiscriminate bombardment, and the Chinese army was far behind the Japanese army in terms of the quantity and quality of artillery, even the 99th Army, which was carefully built by Huang Haoran, was no exception.

Therefore, the 4th Battalion of the 537th Regiment dug a large number of anti-artillery holes on the anticline of the Xiaomiaoshan position, and the main forces hid inside, and there were only a small number of observation posts on the position.

The commander of the 2nd company, Zhang Qian, squatted in his bunker and looked out through the shooting hole, and all he saw were explosive fireworks and shrapnel flying in the sky.

The officers and men of the 4th Battalion waited with a breath of breath for the arrival of the devil infantry.

Company Commander Zhang remembered that when he was in the Changshu Officer Training Corps, Huang Junzuo said to them, the young officers who were trained:

"We Chinese have fought wars for thousands of years, and in terms of tactics and strategy, we are the ancestors of his little Japan! The little devils just hit the infantry with a few clicks, the infantry rushed after the artillery fired, and when their shells were finished, the planes withdrew, and the battlefield became the world of our small artillery and machine guns again! This means that you have your style of play, and I have my way of playing! ......”

Now it seems that the words of the military seat are really wise words!

The performance of the Japanese devils on the battlefield of Songhu was like what the military seat said before the war.

After fighting for so many days, the means of attack came and went, and as long as the battalion and company commander in the 99th Army had some experience in fighting with the devils, he could now almost calculate the time when the devil infantry rushed up according to the intensity of the Japanese artillery bombardment, and it was almost an accurate estimate.
