Chapter 685: Night Battle of Juancheng (2)
"Shizuo has told us a long time ago that there is a huge disparity in strength between us and the Japanese, and this battle will not end for a while, so there are still fights, but the final victory must belong to us, and everyone must be firm in their belief in this. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"We all believe in Shizuo, Shizuo can take us out of the Nanjing refugee camp, his words will not be wrong!"
"Yes, we believe in the teacher's seat, we didn't have anything at the beginning, we were muddy, we just wanted to live, like a puddle of mud, if it weren't for the teacher's seat, how many of us would have survived?"
"The little devil didn't treat us as human beings at all, and he didn't give us a way to live, if we think about living again, it's not that our brains are in the water, and we will fight him to the end!"
"Okay, this 14th Division is one of the 17 divisions of the Japanese Army, most of its soldiers come from Utsunomiya, this division has participated in the Battle of Baoding and the Battle of Taiyuan, but they are all in the identity of the response force, the battle damage is relatively small in the Japanese army in China, but its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, however, most of the common problems of the Japanese army he also has, arrogant, unstoppable, do not put our GJ people in the eyes......"
"Although the night battle tactics are relatively independent, it is not that they do not talk about cooperation, everyone remembers a principle, which is also the principle formulated by the division himself."
"Kill the enemy, save yourself!"
"This is also the general principle of our next war with the Japanese army, if anyone makes a mistake, fights hard with the Japanese army, dies in battle, don't harm the brothers around you, some of our commanders don't abide by battlefield discipline very well, and always think that they are capable, so I repeat the discipline here, if you commit it again, military law will be engaged!"
Everyone knows who Xie Chengrui is talking about, and they all looked at Cheng Gang, who was sitting in a bunch of battalion commanders, and this good thing does not go out and bad things spread thousands of miles.
Cheng Gang was demoted, and basically no one in the brigade knew about it.
Cheng Gang's face was very dark, and he was taken out by the old head of the regiment as a negative teaching material, and it was indeed a little uncomfortable to lose face in front of so many people.
However, the wing command that can kill the devil and force the Japanese wing captain to commit suicide is to be punished a little, and it is worth it.
Thinking about it like this, Cheng Gang's mentality became much calmer.
"This is the second time that the Japanese army has crossed the river, and the troops who crossed the river for the first time were almost completely annihilated by me, of course, we also have some casualties, the heavy artillery of the Japanese army is very powerful, we don't have it, and the loss is here, however, at night, the heavy artillery of the Japanese army does not play a big role, but we still have to be careful, so once the fight starts, we must first evacuate Juancheng ......"
"Evacuate Juancheng, Deputy Brigade Commander Xie, I'm afraid this won't work, right?" Xue Mingming, the head of the 131st regiment, stood up in surprise and asked.
"The target of Juancheng is too obvious, the Japanese army has already calculated the coordinates and directions, their heavy howitzers can be completely from the other side of the Yellow River, if we launch a night attack and hit too hard, the Japanese army will definitely retaliate, then Juancheng is his target!" Xie Chengrui explained, "We need to prevent problems before they happen. ”
"But just give up like this, in case Shangfeng blames it, then ......"
"Which peak, Commander Xue, you don't have to worry, the above can't blame your head, if you want to blame it, you have to blame it on my head first, your task is to persuade the people in the city to safely move the villages outside the capital, preferably away from the range of the Japanese army's shelling." Xie Chengrui smiled.
"Since Deputy Brigade Commander Xie said so, his subordinates will obey orders." Xue Mingliang agreed.
"Tonight's night battle, the 371st Regiment will not participate!"
"Why?" When Cheng Gang heard this, he stood up and questioned without thinking about it.
"Cheng Haozi, what are you yelling at, you are not the head of the 371st regiment now, sit down!" Xie Chengrui scolded.
"Deputy Brigade Seat, you don't let us participate in tonight's night battle, give us a reason in general." Jiang Hai, the acting head of the 371st regiment, stood up and asked.
"The reason is, you have another mission." Xie Chengrui said, "Jiang Hai, I hope that during your tenure as the acting head of the regiment, you will not be like Cheng Hezi, with rough hair, and do you have the discipline of a soldier?" ”
"Yes, the deputy brigade seat is right!"
"Well, Vice-Brigade, I was wrong." Cheng Gang's old face flushed, and he admitted his mistake to his face.
"Do you want me to read to you the decision on the punishment of the master?" Xie Chengrui snorted coldly and asked mercilessly in front of everyone.
"Don't, deputy brigade seat, I know it's wrong, next time I must change it, I must change it!" Cheng Gang's face turned even redder.
"Chief of Staff, you can arrange the specific tasks of tonight's night battle!" Xie Chengrui will not really let Cheng Gang not get off the stage, he himself knows that he is wrong.
Beating Cheng Gang is also the meaning of Leng Feng, but it should also be moderate, once it passes, it will produce a rebellious mentality, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Leng Feng is sometimes not easy to do, after all, he has partnered with Cheng Gang and has experienced life and death, if it is not good, Xie Chengrui is different, he is the old leader, where is the qualification, that is, Cheng Gang will not be good.
Of course, Cheng Gang is not the kind of narrow-minded person, he will not listen to him, and besides, he still knows how to distinguish between good people.
Pay attention to ways and means to do things, and sometimes you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Tonight's night battle, there are mainly the 372nd Regiment and the 373rd Regiment as the main force, the two regiments suffered small losses in today's daytime battle, in addition, the reconnaissance battalion directly under the brigade headquarters will also cooperate with you, they have been active in this generation before, and they know the terrain here better, so they can be ......regarded as guides for you."
"According to what we know now, the unit of the Japanese army crossing the river is the 50th Wing of the Sakai Brigade, that is, the unit of the Japanese army Dazuo who committed suicide in Dongkou today......"
"The Japanese army suffered a loss once, so they will also be careful below......"
"Our operation tonight, although it is an independent operation, but it also needs to be a unified action, in addition, the cooperation between neighbors, this is the first time, before and after the reconnaissance battalion directly under the brigade headquarters has carried out this kind of exercise, such a large corps of actual combat, it is the first time, so the reconnaissance battalion directly under the brigade headquarters will be separated to cooperate with your actions."
"This time, the battalion level is the basic combat unit, mainly in consideration of the limitations of battlefield communications, and now our radio stations can only be equipped at the battalion level."
Toyama Deng's suicide made Takashi Sakai very angry, this is just the beginning, and his subordinates have died a captain of the Great Zuo Wing, which is also too unlucky.
He didn't take the "Honorary First Division" to heart, how could he be compared to those stupid people?
The deputy of Toyama Noboru was appointed, and the deputy acting commander of the 50th Wing of the Takagi Nakasa Wing, all of the 50th Wing crossed the river and launched an attack on the new 37th Brigade of the 1st Honor Division.
From the afternoon to the dark, the progress was not great, and Takashi Sakai was very dissatisfied with Takagi, the acting co-captain, but if the newly appointed acting co-captain was removed immediately, it would be a big blow to morale.
So Takashi Sakai crossed the river himself after dark, preparing to personally direct the next battle.
Occupying Juancheng and Yuncheng is a task given to him by Kenji Dohihara, and it must be completed by noon tomorrow.
When the new officer Takagi took office, there was always a process for mastering the troops, and when Yuan Shan Deng was in power, he said the same, and the suicide with Yuan Shan Deng accounted for almost half of the personnel of the wing headquarters.
Takagi was able to command the troops to launch an attack, which was already very good, at least the quality of the Japanese army itself accounted for half of the credit.
"Have you found out the number of the Zhina Army in Juancheng?"
“……”
"Idiot, waste, after a day of fighting, you don't even know who the enemy is, what do you eat?" As soon as Takashi Sakai came over, he scolded loudly.
"Brigade commander, our opponents have at least one division of strength, and they are equipped with the same rifles as the Imperial soldiers, and the light and heavy machine gun firepower is still above the Empire, and there are quite a few heavy weapons, and the defense is very orderly, and the advance and retreat are orderly......"
"Yaga, is this the reason for your failure?" Takashi Sakai said angrily, "You know, on the battlefield of China, an infantry brigade of the empire can easily defeat a division of the China Army, and it is a shame for the empire that one of your wings can't even take the position!" ”
"Hay!"
"This honorary first division is really so powerful......" Takashi Sakai couldn't help muttering, looking at the solemn expression of the division commander when he held a meeting, it obviously didn't look like a joke.
After the division commander returned from Nanjing, he avoided talking about his experience in Nanjing, but there were a lot of rumors about him, could it be that he really suffered a big loss?
However, Takashi Sakai will never swallow this breath, and now that the captain of a wing under his command is forced to commit suicide, he has also lost a brigade at once, and he will definitely avenge this revenge.
"Sir, the commander of the division telegraphed!"
"Read!"
"Sakai-kun, the honorary first division of the Shina Army opposite you is different from the Shina Army we knew in the past, this is a highly offensive force, the tactics are eclectic, good at surprise attacks, sneak attacks, please pay attention!"
"Got it!" Takashi Sakai waved his hand disapprerovingly, he felt that Kenji Dohihara was making a big fuss, and the failure at noon was caught off guard by the opponent, so to speak, the mistake of intelligence, I didn't expect the opponent to suddenly appear.
And now, they have an absolute advantage, and there is no need to be afraid of this at all.
The sound of gunfire thinned out, and the moonlight was obscured by blood.
"Brothers, let's fight a sneak attack, move quickly, don't fall in love with the war, leave the battlefield directly after the fight, don't worry about the little devils' altars and jars, do you hear clearly!"
"Platoon commander, don't worry."
"Everyone, listen up, tonight is a unified action, see three red flares in the air, let's rush over!" The platoon commander explained the task arrangement, "Da Liu, you take a squad from the ridge over there, pony, do you see the devil guard over there, fight, touch the sentry for me first......"
"Third platoon commander, the company commander told you to come over ......"
"What's the matter?"
"The devil led someone to touch our whistle, and we caught it!" Signal Soldier Road.
"Wait, I'll go first, you all don't move." The three platoon leaders turned around and bent down to the rear of the trenches.
"The Japanese army touched the sentry, it seems that they did not grasp our specific situation, otherwise, they would not have done this, people were caught, how was the interrogation?" At the headquarters of the 372nd Regiment, the regiment commander Wu Jing listened to the report below.
"Caught one, killed one, and the one who was arrested didn't seem to be an important person, and it is estimated that he couldn't ask for any valuable information."
"Then lock it up first, and then go back to the brigade headquarters!"
"Yes!"
"Are you all ready?"
"You're all set!"
"Notify the starter that you can hit the red flare!" Wu Jing took out the pocket watch in his pocket and glanced at it, the time was almost up, and he ordered.
"Yes!"
Three red flares then rose into the air, making them particularly dazzling in the dark night sky.
