Chapter Seventy-Eight: Three-Pointed Bubble 3
The brief discussion ended quickly, and the result of the discussion was to send Ichiro Sakamoto to find out about the attack plan of the Lu army, and Fujita promised that if Sakamoto Ichiro got the attack plan of the Lu army, then he would not be held prisoner, and he would also apply to the headquarters for commendation. Ichiro Sakamoto, who had removed the burden in his heart, came in a hurry this time, and he was afraid that Zhang Changguo's attitude would change, but when he saw Zhang Changguo's smiling and harmless face, his hanging heart was put down. He bowed and said, "Zhang Sang, Fujita Shaozo asked me to greet you on his behalf!" ”
When Zhang Changguo heard the word "Shaozuo", he was overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "Don't dare, don't dare." I'm really sorry before. ”
Seeing that Zhang Changguo was still polite, Sakamoto said again: "Your Excellency Shaozuo hopes to know the attack plan of the Lu Guo army, and I also ask Zhang Sang for help." ”
Zhang Changguo had long known that he would ask this question, and said with a smile, "Oh, I'm ready for this." With that, he handed over a thick stack of bunjiàns on the table.
Ichiro Sakamoto was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, and hurried back after a while.
As soon as the Japanese left, several company commanders came up. Lu Wangcai, who has the most taboo temperament, said, "Battalion commander, can you fight?" ”
Zhang Changguo, who bowed N times, rubbed his waist and said, "Well, it's almost." It seems that there is only one company of devils inside. But it's also hard to say. Are the troops ready? ”
Several company commanders nodded together, and Zhang Changguo said: "Well, let's start fighting in ten minutes." It's too cold outside, and the brothers can't wait for a long time. It's still those two sentences, one is to follow the shells, and the other is to fight according to the street fighting drills. If anyone doesn't listen, then I'm not welcome. ”
The attack plan brought back by Ichiro Sakamoto caused Fujita and Okamoto to be ecstatic, and after hurriedly reading the map and orders in the text, Fujita Shaosa immediately sent someone to send the plan directly to the headquarters. But at this moment, the outside suddenly remembered the sound of "boom, boom, boom......". When he stumbled out of the house, he saw a cannonball explode not far away, and several soldiers were blown up by the cannonball, and a puff of gunpowder smoke blew in, which only made his face hot.
The cannonballs raged in the Zhuangzi for a while, and then all of them moved outward, and all the landing points were concentrated in the north of the Zhuangzi. When Fujita saw this formation, his heart was cold, Zhuangzi's original road was east-west, and he deliberately arranged many obstacles on the west side in order not to be seen by the enemy. Moreover, they sent more troops, hoping that the enemy would attack from the west so that they could hit the stones, but now the enemy chose the breakthrough point to the north where Zhuangzi was weakest. How could it be...... Suddenly, he saw the mule cart with the corpse parked in the courtyard, and his heart was filled with anger.
No matter how angry Fujita is, it won't help. If he heard the nickname of the second battalion commander Smiling Fox, then he should have accepted his fate, people said that Smiling Tiger was already terrible. Isn't the smiling fox even more terrifying? And this smiling fox hates the Japanese even more - because of my inherent policy of the Qing Dynasty, as a self-financed student of the Han nationality, it is not easy to enter the Japanese military academy, and Zhang Changguo, who is not even a showman, spent a lot of money to get in as a transfer student, I thought it was worth the money, but it was a garbage military academy. Later, when I entered the Revival Society and entered the South African Military Academy, I realized that what was taught there was all shit, and I was sorry for his ten thousand taels of silver at all. Thinking of this Zhang Changguo, he gritted his teeth, but he sold all his ancestral property and got it with all his savings.
The raindrops of mortar shells blew up the barbed wire and antlers north of Zhuangzi, and the engineer Qian Laogen had the experience of the last time. As soon as he saw the company commander take the lead and rushed out, he and his partner Li Bold carried the ladder and ran forward, this time it was not easier than the last time, the devil barricade was arranged more thickly, the gunshots on the opposite side were continuous, and the ground was blown up by dense shells, but he didn't care about these, just a deep foot shallow and a shallow foot to follow Li Bold in front of him, he spit white gas, only to feel that the half of the sorghum flour steamed bun that he had just eaten in his arms had frozen into stone, and it was very uncomfortable to rest on his chest up and down with his fierce running, Just when he thought that there would be no steamed buns left in the future, Li Daring in front of him suddenly stumbled and threw himself to the ground, and he couldn't stop being taken by the ladder and couldn't get up from lying on the ground.
But before he could lie down for a while, he was kicked and a voice shouted, "Get up!" Damn... Get up! After that, he had already lifted the ladder in front of him, and when he saw someone hitting the head, Qian Laogen got up again, and this time he didn't run far to the edge of the trench, and the soldiers behind him rushed away as soon as the ladder was put up, "Huh, Hu......h, Huh, Huh", and the soldiers poured into the Zhuangzi like a north wind.
Private Masao Takeshita was lying in the cold trench, just now he shot down and killed a sapper carrying a ladder, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, pulled the bolt and aimed at another ladder, "Bang!" When he pulled the bolt again and wanted to shoot, he felt that his eyes were dark, and then his brain hurt and he was no longer conscious.
Another devil was shot in the head, the sniper pulled the bolt of the Swedish Mauser 96 rifle to Xiaoping, withdrew the cartridge case, and pressed the next bullet, he was carefree in his heart, and silently remembered the thirty-eighth in his heart, and then cherished the gun on his face, although he was not used to the spotlight sight on the gun, but the accuracy of this gun is better than any other rifle, it is really a good gun! When he pulled the bolt of the gun to Xiaoping, he observed the hand next to him and said: "Twelve o'clock, twelve o'clock, ...... on that elm tree"
Xiang Xiaoping turned the muzzle of the gun, found the elm tree from the spotlight, and saw that the fire flashed over there, so he fired a shot at the firelight, but there was no movement after the shot, and when he thought he had missed, a Japanese corpse was planted from the tree, thirty-ninth......
At this time, the observer next to him said, "Cleared." Let's go in too. ”
Nearly four companies of soldiers burst into the three-pointed bubble in the wind and snow, and as soon as they entered, they dispersed, and the Zhuangzi, which was less than two miles away, was filled with shouts of killing and the explosion of grenades. Qi Xiaomao's second squad rushed to the front of the troops, and he was the one who helped Qian Laogen carry the ladder just now. The target of the first company was the center of Zhuangzi, and according to the previous training, the bayonet team, shotgun team, grenade team, and logistics team were formed into ranked units.
When the devils in Zhuangzi saw the enemy rush through the trenches and break into the village, they immediately fell into chaos, and then, under the command of Jun Cao, they relied on the corner wall and barely formed a loose defensive line. Trying to delay the enemy's advance, it was exactly what the attackers wanted, and the demolition team threw a grenade over, and a group of devils were blown up and screamed; As soon as the grenade was finished, the firepower team rushed up again, Qi Xiaomao's trigger was heavily pulled, the shotgun in his hand trembled, and a piece of lead bullet swept over with a "boom", and the devils over there pounced on several; As soon as the shotgun was swept up, the bayonets of the assault group came again. Those devils who are already in a state of confusion have no way to resist, and they are separated one by one. Explosion, bombardment and stabbing, the three cycles repeatedly, and a company was like a road roller, fiercely rolling towards the center of Zhuangzi.
Fujita Shaosa held the command knife. Blood was dripping from the tip of the knife, and he had just decided that it was Ichiro Sakamoto who had betrayed the empire. Then he was cut off with a knife. The enemy has already stormed Zhuangzi. There were shouts of killing everywhere, and there was no way to retreat, so he chose to retreat into the last line of defense and barely shoot at the enemy.
Zhao Dawang suddenly went to the middle of the Zhuangzi, and suddenly encountered strong resistance and knew that this was eating a peach and eating the core, if the core was broken again, then the peach would be eaten completely. He crouched under the broken wall and looked ahead. A row of firing ports had been dug into the black wall above the snow. The little nose "snapped, snapped, snapped...... and put the gun outside. "Damn, Yang demolished the bridge, can't this wall be blown up?" Zhao Dawang shouted loudly.
Yang Jieqiao is also a non-commissioned officer who came out of the non-commissioned officer training class, and he is called Yang Youcai. Yang Demolition Bridge just sent someone to touch it and threw a grenade. However, although the big-nosed grenade is more powerful than the Baath Army, it still can't face the wall. "I can't blow it up, my mother's little nose must have been pasted with ash, and just now two bundles of grenades were thrown over, and only smoke came out."
Hearing that grenades are not good, Zhao Dawang couldn't help but think of the yellow explosives in Xiongyue City, if only there was that thing. "Then go to the artillerymen right away and let them bomb this wall." Zhao Dawang did not rush hard, but called for artillery support according to standard procedures. As soon as the 80 mortars came up, a salvo blew up the wall, and after the commandos rushed in, after a burst of shouts to kill, the little nose immediately understood.
At 11:15 p.m., the last group of stubborn devils were eliminated, and the battalion commander immediately sent a telegram to Lu Mengxiong, which specifically mentioned the problem of the Japanese reserve brigade, believing that the combat effectiveness and fighting will of this brigade were weak, and many surrendered in a desperate situation, and at this time the first battalion had also occupied Sumabao, and he forwarded the telegram to the headquarters as soon as it arrived at the regiment headquarters.
In order to conceal the storage of the radio, the wireless telegraph room was set up two miles away from the headquarters, and as soon as the telegraph arrived, it was disguised as a cavalry telegram and sent in. After Yang Rui received the cavalry newspaper, he pressed it in his hand for two hours before telling Sù Madlidov, the colonel couldn't believe it when he heard the news, he thought that with Wang Qinian's gang could occupy some peripheral positions at most, but now the cavalry newspaper clearly said that it had occupied the three-tip bubble, killed more than 100 Japanese soldiers, and most importantly, captured more than 70 prisoners, it is difficult to catch prisoners in a war with the Japanese, not to mention that the Russian army has never surrounded them, even if they were surrounded and chose to die. Looking at the square words on the riding newspaper, Madrydov was confused, is it because the yellow race is fighting with the yellow race, so the Japanese do not have such a strong will to resist? He rambled again: "Wang, are you sure that you captured the three-pointed bubble and captured the Japanese?" ”
Yang Rui smiled, "I'm completely sure, you asked Leo." Also, ask the headquarters how the Heigoutai side is doing, our troops have occupied the area of the three sharp bubbles, completely threatening the flank and rear of Heigoutai, if necessary, I will gladly assist Lieutenant General Rusanov of the 14th Division in attacking Heigoutai. ”
Madelidov looked at Yang Rui's smiling face and Leo's stern face, and didn't say anything, and hurriedly went to the telephone room to report to the group army headquarters.
The results of the Independence Army caused a sensation in the corps headquarters, and the commander of the Eighth Army, Lieutenant General Bradonovich, slapped the table and shouted, "I dare to swear to God, it must be that yellow-skinned monkey who is lying, the Eighth Army has not yet occupied Heigoutai, where are they going to the three-pointed bubbles?" He's a liar......"
Contrary to his agitation, General Billy Gellinger was very calm, and he said, "Colonel Madlidov proposed to me two days ago that he wanted to attack the three bubbles from the south, and since the time of the attack was the same as that of the Eighth Army, I agreed. ”
"But," Bradonovich still looked incredulous, "even if it was possible to make a detour back to the three-pointed bubble from the south, then the cannons and baggage could not be carried, and it is even more impossible that those yellow-skinned monkeys could defeat the Japanese with grenades and bayonets, and they still claimed to have captured dozens of Japanese." Your Excellency, I mention yì ......"
And Bradonovich is different. General Billy Gellinger still believes in his compatriot German Leo. William's trained troops, at least he thought that if the attack area was not too wide and the intensity of the artillery fire was not too strong, this army would still have combat effectiveness, he interrupted the mention of His Excellency the Lieutenant General, and said: "Dear Ardika, you have to be completely confident that your flank is safe, let Rusanov and them quickly take Heigoutai and Shendanbao." ”
Unlike the Three-Tip Bubble area, Heigoutai was the focus of the defense of the farming detachment, and nearly 700 cavalry and two Hatch Kaiss machine guns were deployed here. Shendan Fort was even more difficult to fight, and the garrison there was actually the 1st Cavalry Brigade of Akiyama Yoshiko, in addition to three infantry squadrons, an engineer squadron, and a cavalry artillery squadron, as well as four mountain guns and three Hatch Chase machine guns. The commander of this team was the commander of the 14th Cavalry Wing, Toyobe Shinsaku Osa, who was from the Echigo Nagaoka Domain. The spirit of bushido is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. The 15th Division wanted to seize the stronghold held by more than 2,000 people, and it was still very difficult to fight according to the traditional fighting method of the Russian army. It's just that it's harder. The army commander, Lieutenant General Bradonovich, did not dare to complain. Even the yellow-skinned monkey has won, so can the superior Caucasian complain?
After receiving the telegram from each battalion, Lu Mengxiong ordered each battalion to immediately strengthen the fortifications in case the Japanese reinforcements assaulted. Because kerosene was not easy to carry, the battalions had to tear down their houses and burn sorghum, and the war caused the original residents to be driven away by the Japanese army, and they were not afraid of being obstructed. It's just that wood is really hard to burn in this winter. If you don't block the wind, the fire will be extinguished in a while, and the last way is to block the wind with cloth around it, and the wood will be erected on the iron shelf. Then burn a little frozen soil and move it a little forward, so that the burned area can be dug up.
The whole battalion is digging fortifications except for the guard posts, although the Japanese fortifications are strong, but they are too thin, the trench on the periphery of Zhuangzi is defenseless as soon as it passes through the back, Zhang Changguo does not want to be crushed to death by the roof like the Japanese commander, he dug another fortification outside Zhuangzi, the original one of Zhuangzi is the second line of defense, and the Zhuangzi is also arranged, which is the third line. Between the first and second lines of defense, a number of firing points were arranged according to the terrain, and a narrow opening was deliberately made in the east, waiting for the enemy to attack from here, and then being strangled by fire—he carefully placed the ten Danish machine guns and flying thunder guns assigned to a regiment in the army.
While the 1st Regiment was digging fortifications, the 14th Division also occupied Heigoutai at 7 p.m. Seeing that the passage was opened, Yang Rui hurriedly led the 1st Division and the 5th Regiment of the 2nd Division from Huanglatuozi to Sumabao and Sanjianpao overnight through Heigoutai. The war has begun, Yang Rui can't know when the Japanese reinforcements will arrive, he just wants to be able to rush to the front line as soon as possible, this march is very fast, more than ten kilometers of travel in four hours to arrive, once the front line does not rest, immediately joined the vigorous fortification construction, so busy all night, only to repair the fortifications in the area of the three-tip bubble Su Ma Fort.
Yantai (now Dengta City) Dalanqi Village, Manchurian Army Headquarters. The news that one of Luguo's troops had launched an attack on Heigoutai surprised Kodama Gentaro, the chief of staff of the Manchurian Army, and he muttered, "Isn't it said that the frozen soil is difficult to dig up in the current temperature, how did the Luguo people fight?" ”
Staff Officer Matsukawa Toshiyin was speechless, yes, Luguo's attack was not to dig a position first and then open fire, but now they are not like this, he was stunned for a while before he said, "Your Excellency, let's send the Hirosaki Division, and the Eighth Brigade of the Reserve Infantry, which has just arrived recently, will also go together, so there are about 20,000 people, Luguo's attack is mainly concentrated in the Heigoutai area, if there is only one army, the Eighth Division and the Reserve Eighth Brigade can completely help the Akiyama detachment to hold Heigoutai." ”
The Hirosaki Division is the Eighth Division, because its headquarters is in Hirosaki, so it is called the Hirosaki Division according to convention, and it is together with the Seventh Division of Asahikawa, which has been left in Japan after the war as a strategic reserve, but the losses in the Manchurian War were extremely large, and by October the two divisions had to be transferred to the Manchurian battlefield, of which the Seventh Division was transferred to Lushun as the main force of the third general offensive in Lushun, and the Eighth Division went to Liaoyang, as the reserve of the Manchurian Army, and has been reluctant to put into the front line.
It was already time to burn his ass, and Kodama, the chief of staff, didn't care about anything, and immediately signed an order so that the Eighth Division could set off to support Heigoutai.
The Eighth Division received an order from the headquarters at noon on the 25th, and at this time the entire division did not know what was going on at the front line, and the Eighth Division had to spend at least several hours to assemble because it was stationed in various places.
The idea of the Lijian Shangwen is very good, but the situation of the reserve 8th brigade is not good, the wing is very late in Japan, just a few days ago at Yingkou disembarked and rushed to the front line, the brigade soldiers themselves are older, and the continuous march has made the soldiers extremely tired, and it is already afternoon, to rush to Heigoutai, it will have to march overnight, this is not an easy thing for a reserve force like the 8th Brigade - even the 8th Division as a standing division, In the winter of 1901, during a field marching exercise, there was a squadron of people who froze to death, although this incident made the Japanese army pay more attention to winter dress and training, but the winter in Manchuria was not comparable to the winter in Northeast Japan, but the military order was like a mountain, and Major General Okami Masami of the Eighth Brigade still set off with his troops.
