20_20434c_t; Unless, as is the case today, the troops who launched the offensive first penetrate the Japanese army's mountain fortification group and attack from the inside out. Visit wèn:. Otherwise, the attacking troops will face the danger of total annihilation if they are not careful. The breakthrough that is opened will also be cut off because of the backup, and then it will be closed one by one.

However, now the advantage of Su Yingqi's department is very great, although the remnants of the Japanese army in the mountain are still resisting, most of the Japanese fortifications have been taken down. Most of the machine guns deployed here by the Japanese were captured intact. Hundreds of thousands of rounds were captured just by playing the 'medicine', which was enough to be used for a while. There were also two rapid-fire guns, one 25-pounder field gun, and more than 100 shells.

These 'firing' points built by the Japanese army were inward firepower points, and most of the firepower deployed, but now they have become ready-made fortifications for Su Yingqi to block the Japanese counterattack. But having ready-made fortifications to rely on was just one of the reasons why Su Yingqi changed his plans.

After arriving at the top of the hill and inspecting the deep terrain of the Japanese army, Su Yingqi's change of mind was not limited to this. The altitude of this hill is not high, let alone steep, but it is the commanding height within a radius of more than ten kilometers. Losing this place, it is strange that the Japanese army did not play with their lives to recapture it in order to ensure the safety of the depth.

And he took the initiative to abandon such a favorable position, under the condition that the total strength did not have an advantage, and the Japanese army was bound to concentrate its forces to recapture it. went to fight a 'melee' war with the Japanese army, and it was simply that he was fed up. Once the superior Japanese army rushes the formation of troops into 'chaos', then it will be themselves who are unlucky.

In the course of the battle, the deployment of troops will move randomly, change with the trend, and in the course of the battle, according to the changes in the shape, so that they can be dispersed and combined freely, and look for the most lethal point of the enemy. When it is time to adjust the combat plan, he is absolutely unambiguous, does not hesitate, and adjusts it according to the actual situation, which is where his command style lies.

And this is also the most classic place where the troops of the 18th Group Army in Guannai have cultivated within a few years of guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. When it comes, it is like mercury pouring into the ground, and when it is closed, it follows the trend. However, this style of command requires a high degree of 'character' in the organization of the troops. Because if once the troops are dispersed and cannot be gathered when needed, the development of the entire war situation will be delayed.

Just kidding, the troops herded the sheep, and when they needed to shrink, they were scattered everywhere, so how could the battle be fought? Therefore, this kind of combat requires a higher level of sensitivity and judgment on the commander's grasp of the fighter. This is because if we do not have a good grasp of the slightest degree in adjusting our tactics and analyzing the battle situation, we will be in danger of annihilating the entire army.

Yang Jicai went deep alone this time, and it was precisely because he took a fancy to him that he asked his troops to come over by name. For Yang Jicai, the three main regiments of the 17th Division can have that combat effectiveness. But the key is to the person who leads the command, not the combat effectiveness of the troops. Yang Jicai, who knows where his weaknesses lie in this operation, wants the kind of commander who is not rigid and flexible.

Su Yingqi's calculations were quite accurate, just as his troops had just gained a foothold on the hill with three mountain packs. The Japanese troops in depth were already under the cover of artillery fire behind them, and quickly launched a counterattack. Even in his unit, as soon as he climbed the mountain, the Japanese counterattack artillery fire in depth had already hit.

In the face of the surprisingly fast reaction speed of the Japanese army, Su Yingqi was not ambiguous, and immediately 'pumped' two platoons to quickly enter the interior of the mountain along the external passage that had been found. The reconnaissance company, which had already infiltrated it, immediately opened fire on the spot to block the Japanese counterattack.

As for the large number of machine guns and ammunition stored in the Japanese fortifications in this hill with three mountain bags, except for some of them, the rest were turned on the spot, and the Japanese machine gun fire points were used to deploy themselves in a situation of 'crossing' and 'shooting' boundaries, and cooperated with the troops who had rushed down the foot of the mountain to block the Japanese army.

And at the same time when the Japanese counterattack artillery fire in depth fell on Su Yingqi's position. The Japanese troops on the front line of Mandetang also dispatched the whole army to quickly reinforce here. At a distance of two kilometers, it will not take long for the Japanese puppet army to arrive. Obviously, the Japanese army in front of them was going to adopt the tactics of flanking the front and rear, and directly encircled and annihilated Su Yingqi's troops here.

Su Yingqi, who had long expected this hand, although he deployed all the reinforced three 'Ting' 14 mm high 'shot' machine guns to the front to meet the Japanese counterattack on all fronts. However, the reconnaissance company was inside the three fortifications, and all the British-made Vickers heavy machine guns among the more than 10 "strong" heavy machine guns captured were brought out and placed on the anti-slope positions on both sides of the road in advance.

Although he did not use this British heavy machine gun, Su Yingqi used the Maxim machine gun that was attached to the same 'door' as him. I know that this kind of machine gun that uses bullet chain feeding is much better than the Japanese army's 92 heavy machine gun in terms of fire sustained ability and 'fire' rate. On a fixed position, two people can use it.

Su Yingqi deployed this machine gun on the terraces on both sides of the highway in order to use the high fire sustainance and extremely high 'firing' rate of this machine gun to repel the Japanese troops reinforced by Mandetang in the shortest possible time. Of course, Su Yingqi also knew very well that with the technical and tactical level of the Japanese army, it would be difficult to completely annihilate it when the troops were insufficient.

He didn't want total annihilation, because he didn't have that many troops, and the main force to deal with this main force was only a squadron of Japanese troops. Instead, it is necessary to kill and injure this Japanese army as much as possible, and break the willpower of this Japanese army, so that it cannot pose a threat to itself.

At the time of deployment, Su Yingqi's rich experience in fighting guerrillas in the Guannai played a great role at this time. Knowing well that the Japanese army in Mandetang, which had been scattered for a long time, and the long-term field division and regiment in terms of combat effectiveness, especially the fighting will and tenacity on the battlefield, he did not think of touching this Japanese army at all.

He had only one solution, using his superior firepower to directly beat this Japanese army to a psychological breakdown, and it would be over if he took the initiative to retreat. Of course, in order to reduce future troubles, it is still necessary to give them the maximum damage possible. lest when he fights the Japanese army in front of him, he will be subjected to some unnecessary threats behind him.

The troops of the two platoons that were sent out to send reinforcements received only one order, which was to shoot all the bullets as fast as possible. If the Japanese army is defeated, it is not allowed to attack, and it is not allowed to pursue. In a word, it's enough to scare these things away and give them the maximum damage.

When the whole Japanese army of Mandetang was dispatched, with the cooperation of a squadron of puppet troops, they quickly reinforced here. The reinforcement troops followed Su Yingqi's instructions and let go of the scouts in the lead. Concentrate all the firepower on the follow-up brigades of the Japanese army, mainly the Japanese army.

With the simultaneous rise of two flares, all the water-splashed machine gun bullets were 'shot' at the reinforcements of one squadron of each squadron of the Japanese puppet army. Together with two '120-millimeter mortars', two '82 mortars', and four '60' mortars, the artillery group fired six rapid 'fires'. After only one round of 'fighting', among the Japanese puppet troops who rushed to reinforce from the Mandetang side, more than half of the Japanese troops who were the key targets were killed or wounded.

This unit of Japanese troops has been transferred to Chanan many times to participate in sweeping up the base areas behind enemy lines. Perhaps because they had more experience in being beaten, they were much more cautious in their actions than ordinary Japanese soldiers. When reinforced, the puppet army was put in front, and the marching formation was very open. When it was hit by fire, the casualties were more likely to be the puppet army.

But they didn't expect that the troops of the Anti-Union were different from the Kannai troops they encountered before. Letting go of the puppet army walking in front, the focus of the fire attack was directly on them. As for the puppet army squadron that walked in front, only one squad was sent to deal with it.

The six 'strong' machine guns did not skimp on the 'crossing' of bullets in the slightest, and the Japanese troops behind could be said to have spent a few minutes in the rain of bullets. It's just a pity that the anti-Japanese coalition reinforcements are limited and cannot encircle this Japanese army. Although the firepower deployed by the Anti-Japanese Union to fight and reinforce was quite fierce, the shortcomings of the insufficient troops could not be made up, but fortunately, this Japanese army, which was already quite experienced in being beaten, was indeed a little different from the Japanese army in the field division, and its willpower was a little worse. In the face of fierce firepower, the resistance of the Japanese army was very weak. Basically, he didn't launch a decisive charge, but chose to lie on the ground and 'shoot'.

After barely holding out for a few more minutes, the few remaining puppet troops directly collapsed on the spot, and the Japanese army itself plummeted to a small team. This Japanese puppet army did not dare to fight at all, and immediately retreated as fast as possible, not even taking away the dead and wounded in one place.

After the Japanese puppet army reinforced in the direction of Mandetang was defeated, Su Yingqi left one of the two platoons and strengthened the two 'Ting' Vickers machine guns to continue to monitor the southwest direction. The other platoon, with all the machine guns, immediately reinforced the frontal front and cooperated with the main force to block the Japanese counterattack.

After inexplicably losing this commanding heights in the northeast, Major General Kenyoshi Ikegami, the commander of the 9th 'mixed' brigade of the Japanese army in Kangbao City, obviously couldn't sit still. He is fully coping with the offensive launched by the confrontation from the southeast, as well as the infiltration attack that continues to penetrate the front and lay a lot of nails in his depth.

He didn't expect the enemy to rush out from behind him, in conjunction with the 110th Division. I didn't expect that the underground fortifications that I had painstakingly built in the southeast of Mandetang and taking advantage of the favorable terrain there would be lost in such a short time.

What's even more serious is that it's not just a group of fortifications that is lost there. After being transferred to two brigades, he was forced to shrink in desperation, and he could look down on his entire defensive zone, the commanding heights in the northeast direction, and the barrier in the north of the entire Kangbao City.

If the enemy placed artillery there, its shells could not only hit the city directly, but even its artillery group could block all Japanese movements in the entire defensive area. At the same time, the movement of troops in the entire depth of defense could not be concealed from the eyes of the enemy at all. In other words, his entire defense system will be unsafe if it is lost.

The most lethal thing is that the loss of this place will not only be the loss of the barrier and the commanding heights of the entire northern defense. The entire line of defense is equivalent to a big gap being opened. Once the Anti-Union forces commit a large number of troops and launch a counterattack from there, the entire northern defense line may completely collapse.

In order to recapture this vital vantage point, as well as the barrier to the north, Major General Kenyoshi Ikegami immediately adjusted his deployment. It changed its previous tactics of fighting against the anti-coalition attack forces, immediately reduced its forces in the southeast, and abandoned some unnecessary strongholds on the front and the southern front. The main 'fine' force was shifted from the south to the north of Su Yingqi's department.

In order to recapture this strategic point, Major General Kenyoshi Ikegami invested an entire battalion of the 38th Infantry Brigade and concentrated seventy percent of all the artillery fire in his hands. Commanded by Captain Saburo Kiyono, he launched a counterattack against Su Yingqi's location with all his might.

Two infantry squadrons were mobilized to attack from the two directions of Xiaosi Duan and Zhang Youfang, and besieged Su Yingqi's headquarters on three sides. Major General Kenkichi Ikegami's idea was very simple, that is, to take advantage of the fact that the infiltrated anti-coalition forces were not many to destroy this anti-coalition force in one fell swoop and recapture this strategic place in the shortest possible time.
