7.126 The crushing defeat of the Japanese tank unit
After receiving a telegram from Ryosuke Isoya, the commander of the Sakamoto Shun Brigade immediately called back to say that his troops were no longer able to continue their westward advance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWithout the help of the Isoya Division, the Sakamoto detachment would never have reached the Kakuriji.
Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps was unusual, pestering the Sakamoto detachment like crazy! And on the only way to Guo Liji, there is another roadblock released by Huang Haoran! The 188th Division of the 25th Group Army is occupying the two commanding heights of Fushan and Qingshan at this moment, and is waiting for it! In the case of being attacked on the belly and back, Major General Sakamoto Shun really has no confidence to "fight the tiger"!
Ryosuke Isoya knew that what Major General Shun Sakamoto said in the telegram was the truth, and after repeated battles, Ryosuke Isoya had realized that the Chinese troops he was facing this time were a little different!
The 10th Division and Seishiro Itagaki's 5th Division have been known as the "Steel Division" and the "Iron Division" within the Japanese Army because of their well-trained combat bravery. At first, when Seishiro Itagaki's "Iron Division" was defeated by the motley troops of the 5th Theater in Linyi and retreated in embarrassment, Ryosuke Isoya still laughed at Itagaki Seishiro's incompetence in his heart. Now that the Isogu Division has followed in the footsteps of the Itagaki Division in Taierzhuang, it can be regarded as a kind of retribution!
Sun Lianzhong's group, which guarded Taierzhuang, and Pang Bingxun and Zhang Zizhong, who guarded Linyi, were obviously miscellaneous cards in the Chinese army, but they could fight as tenaciously as the elite of the Central Army in the Battle of Songhu!
The soldiers are still those soldiers! Will or those will! If you have to find some changes in these Chinese miscellaneous armies, it can only be said that they have changed a new commander---- Huang Haoran!
Why did all the Chinese troops immediately fight so hard as soon as they arrived in Huang Haoran's hands!?
Ryosuke Isoya thinks it's a mystery!
Assaults, feints, detours...... Almost all of these offensive moves were used by Ryosuke Isoya in his encounters with Huang Haoran, but in Tengxian, in Guanqiao, in Beiluo, and in Nanluo...... Until not long ago, in Taierzhuang, the Isoya Division was stubbornly resisted by the Chinese defenders everywhere it went, and the 10th Division ran into walls everywhere and lost troops, which made Isoya Ryosuke's mood very low!
Could it be that this is the gap between Ryosuke Isoya and Huang Haoran?
Before he knew it, Huang Haoran, a famous general, had become the demon of Ryosuke Isoya!
You must defeat your demons as soon as possible, otherwise, Ryosuke Isoya and his troops will completely lose the courage to face Huang Haoran!
Defeating the 188th Division on the front line of Fushan and Qingshan is an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone! It can not only rescue the Sakamoto detachment, increase the chances of winning the "center flowering" tactic, but also defeat the demons!
Ryosuke Isoya, who has the heart of Yokoshimojo, sent the 40th Infantry Wing, the most complete infantry in his hands, to the Fushan and Qingshan battlefields to attack the back of the 188th Division of the 25th Group Army!
It's an uphill battle! There is nothing to do but attack! Ryosuke Isoya howled frantically over the radio to the generals of the Army Aviation Flying Team of the North China Front: "Send all your bombers!" Blow up Fu Shan and Qingshan for me, completely blow them up! ”
At exactly 15 o'clock in the afternoon, the frantic bombing began, countless bombs fell on every hill of Fushan and Qingshan, and the defensive position of the 188th Division became a sea of fire!
Thirty minutes later, the artillery of the Isoya Division and Sakamoto's detachment also joined the "performance", and Isoya Ryosuke and Sakamoto Shun reached a high degree of agreement, they hoped to use this steel rain curtain to completely destroy the will of the officers and men of the 188th Division to resist! By the way, it can also allow the Sakamoto detachment to reduce some of the transportation pressure in the later breakthrough!
***********************************************
After Xie Wendong took his 188th Division into place, he immediately sent troops to seize the two commanding heights of Fushan and Qingshan.
Fu Shan and Qingshan were like an open pair of pincers, firmly clamping the way of the Japanese army. Regardless of whether the Isoya Division wanted to move closer to the Sakamoto Detachment or the Sakamoto Detachment wanted to move closer to the Isoya Division, the Japanese army's marching column had to pass between Fushan and Aoyama.
Therefore, Xie Wendong's 188th Division now occupies these two hills, which is equivalent to strangling the throat of the Japanese army! How can the throat of the little devil not be desperate? A bloody battle is inevitable!
Since Deng Wenjin's 705th Regiment and Luo Cheng's 706th Regiment both participated in the blocking battle on the periphery of Taierzhuang and suffered heavy losses, Xie Wendong arranged the two regiments of Deng Wenjin and Luo Cheng on the hill that was relatively easy to defend. The open area between the two hills was defended by the 707th and 708th Regiments.
Since you want to fight a defensive battle in the open field, you must make a big fuss about the earthwork, Xie Wendong ordered the 707th and 708th regiments to hurry up and dig trenches, and the engineer battalion was sent out to lay mines.
In order to avoid being hit by the devils, the two regiments defending the open area did not defend in sections, but each defended one side. Yu Shanfu's 707th Regiment was in charge of the Sakamoto Detachment in the east, and Guan Liang's 708th Regiment was in charge of the Isoya Division in the west.
I have to say that God is fair, when the shelling stopped, Yu Shanfu and Guan Liang found that there were devils on the front of both of their regiments!
In other words, the Isoya Division and the Sakamoto detachment moved at the same time!
Mortar shells flying down from Fushan and Qingshan on both sides flew into the Japanese skirmishers from time to time, taking away the lives of several devils. It was the 705th and 706th regiments supporting their brother units with artillery fire.
Yu Shanfu and Guan Liang naturally did not expect the Japanese army to be repulsed by sporadic artillery fire, and the officers and men of the 25th Group Army knew that the devil had been driven into a desperate situation by their commander Huang Haoran! The dog can bite when it's in a hurry! Not to mention the murderous Japanese?
Under the pressure of the Chinese army in the 5th theater, the life of the Isoya Division and the Sakamoto detachment was not easy, which also made the Japanese army space eager to complete the convergence and hug each other for warmth. So the little devil will definitely do his best this time! Play with the 188th Division that stuck their necks!
"Tell a few battalion commanders in the regiment! Give Lao Tzu a calm point! Beware of the devil's chariot! We don't have time to dig anti-tank trenches, we have to rely on artillery to help! Once the battle on the plains caused the Japanese tanks to rush into the position, it was no joke! ”
Guan Liang, the commander of the 708th Regiment, has not left the few medium chariots used by the Isogu Division to take the lead, it seems that the little devil has learned to be obedient, knowing that the power of the bean chariot is no longer enough to shake the elites of the 25th Group Army, and as soon as he came up, he took out the capital to watch the house!
But this time, the little devil is a bad move! Since the 188th Division dared to break into the middle of tens of thousands of Japanese troops, it was naturally prepared!
Huang Haoran, commander-in-chief of the 25th Group Army, deliberately transferred two 37th anti-aircraft artillery companies to the 188th Division before the 188th Division attacked, and in addition, handed over a special anti-tank unit to Xie Wendong.
As soon as the Japanese medium tank entered the area of 500 meters from the position of the 708th Regiment, the two anti-aircraft artillery batteries on the position opened fire! Eight 37 anti-aircraft guns bombarded the Japanese tanks! Three medium chariots were set on fire in an instant!
In front of these anti-aircraft guns of the 25th Army, the Japanese-made chariot was like a piece of water tofu, which was pierced with chopsticks and worn!
The appearance of these anti-aircraft guns made the commanders of the Japanese tanks break out in a cold sweat! From Jinan to Taierzhuang, few of the Chinese troops they encountered along the way were equipped with such powerful anti-armor firepower! Although the thin Japanese tank is full of majesty in front of the infantry, if it is against the anti-tank defense artillery, it can only be beaten into a pile of scrap metal!
The hatch at the top of the turret of the command vehicle was lifted, and a Japanese soldier who crawled out of it shouted:
"Reverse! Reversing! Get out of here."
But how could the gunners of the anti-aircraft artillery calmly leave the Japanese tanks? Under the command of the gun commander, one after another 37 mm caliber shells were fired out by the battle defense gunners, and two medium tanks were ignited one after another!
In front of the defensive position of the 707th Regiment, the Sakamoto detachment also sent tanks to provide cover for the infantry, but they adopted the method of mixing medium tanks and bean tanks.
After witnessing the scene of the tank unit of the Isoya Division being severely attacked by the Chinese army's anti-aircraft artillery, several commanders of the Bean Chariot expressed their concern to the command vehicle in flag language.
Compared to the relatively sturdy medium tank, the defensive capabilities of the Bean Chariot are simply not worth mentioning, and a 37 mm caliber anti-aircraft artillery shell can even destroy the second Bean Chariot after penetrating the first Bean Chariot!
Using a bean chariot to attack the Chinese army, which is equipped with anti-aircraft artillery, is simply suicidal!
But the command vehicle's answer to the bean chariot commanders was to keep them going!
The reason for this decision was that he believed that the number of anti-aircraft guns possessed by the Chinese army was very limited, and that the anti-aircraft artillery of the Chariot Corps of the Isoya Division, which was being fired at the moment, should be all that the Chinese army in front of them had! Since the chariot units of the Isoya Division are holding back the battle defense artillery of the Chinese army, now is of course a good time for the chariot units of the Sakamoto detachment to attack!
"Have the infantry send a telegram to the opposing allies! Let their chariot units get back to fighting again! We will fight from behind the Chinese artillery! Destroy the Chinese war defense artillery! Then, it's the world of our tank troops! ”
The commander of the 188th Infantry Wing, who was responsible for attacking the defense line of the 21st Division, immediately sent a telegram to the 40th Wing of the 10th Division on the opposite side after receiving the plan of the commander of the tank unit!
The judgment made by the commander of the Japanese tank of the Sakamoto detachment was indeed accurate! The eight anti-aircraft guns that had been put into battle were indeed all owned by the 188th Division, but he would never have thought that Xie Wendong still had a special anti-tank unit given to him by Huang Haoran in his hand!
The fleeing tank unit of the Isoya Division had to turn around and fight again after receiving an order from the commander of the 40th Wing, Yoshio Nagano, and this time the tank commanders learned to be obedient and no longer dared to move in a straight line, and began to use acceleration, deceleration and steering to avoid the shells fired by the anti-aircraft guns.
This new move by the tank unit of the Isoya Division made the hit rate of the battle defense gunners begin to decline, and it was not until the tank group of the Sakamoto detachment broke into the 500-meter area in front of the 707th Regiment that the two battle defense artillery batteries hit the two medium tanks of the Isoya Division again.
"The Chinese artillery already has no chance to fire at us! Advance! Destroy their anti-aircraft artillery! ”
The tanks of the Sakamoto detachment all rushed forward at full speed! Without the threat of anti-aircraft artillery, without the blocking of anti-tank trenches, they can go on a killing spree!
The commander of the 21st Wing, Tadashi Katano, seemed to have seen the image of the collapse of the 188th Division, and his eyes began to be bloodshot! The hand holding the command knife began to tremble!
"All ......"
At this time, suddenly there was a muffled sound from the position of the 707th regiment, and then I saw the Sakamoto detachment standing one after another on fire and exploding!
Katano couldn't believe his eyes! In less than a minute! 7 tanks destroyed! What kind of weapons are used by these Chinese artillerymen?
Could it be that the Chinese got the latest anti-tank rapid-fire guns from the USSR? Katano Tasumi Osa bets that ordinary anti-aircraft guns will never have such a high rate of fire! That cannon fire just now was like a burst of machine guns!
If these crazy rapid-fire artillery pieces were made by the Soviets, then what about the Kwantung Army?
On the position of the 707th Regiment, Yu Shanfu's eyes were not much smaller than those of Katano Tasumi! Just a few minutes ago, Yu Shanfu had no belief that the "special" artillery unit could help his 707th Regiment deal with the menacing Japanese tank group.
Aren't anti-aircraft guns used to hit planes? It was actually used by those crazy artillerymen to fight the chariots! What's going on? I've never heard of it before!
But what is happening in front of you can't help but be unbelievable! A minute of time! 7 flaming chariots! What kind of efficiency is this!
And now the number of Japanese tanks hit is growing! The fire of anti-aircraft guns used for flat fire is becoming more and more ferocious!
"Yaga! Reversing! Reversing! The people of China have new weapons! ”
After shouting these words, the commander of the chariot of the Sakamoto detachment was also hit and caught fire, and the chariot commander had to quickly climb out of the escape door, because the pipes inside the body were cracked, the chariot commander's body was covered with oil, and he was burned by the flames burning on the chariot body, and he was immediately burned into a burning man.
Next to the burning command vehicles, the retreating Japanese tanks were hit one after another, and in this confrontation, the Isoya Division and the Sakamoto detachment lost a total of 27 bean tanks and medium tanks, and after this battle, most of the Japanese armored forces in the Taierzhuang area were lost!
The armored offensive launched by the devils against the 188th Division was so easily disintegrated by the 25th Army's anti-aircraft artillery units and anti-aircraft artillery units!
***************************************************
Huang Haoran still did not use the "standard answer" in the end.
Now that the Chinese army has basically completed the encirclement of the Japanese army, and it is very likely that the Japanese army in the encirclement will be cut into three sections, if such a good fighter plane is allowed to slip away in vain, Huang Haoran is not reconciled!
Isoya Division, Sakamoto Detachment, Huang Haoran didn't want to let go of any of them!
Troops! Huang Haoran now needs more troops to carry out his big plan!
Two telegrams were sent to Jiang Baili in Wuhan and to the highest authorities, one after the other...... (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
