143, a crushing victory (third update)

In Fuxin City, what Bai Shujie is most concerned about now is where the enemies in the three directions have arrived and whether there are follow-up troops. Waiting until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Deng Xiuyan sent a telegram to contact the enemy on the front line of Xiaodongtun. Both sides were just testing the XJ fire, and the enemy did not all press on it.

Bai Shujie felt that the enemy's movements were very strange, and the current situation did not look like a sweep at all, but like an armed tour. To be on the safe side, he gave the first order to Gadamerin:

"Order: Gadamerin sent a cavalry battalion to the front line of Zhangwu to reconnoitre, and at the same time monitor the movements of the enemy on the front line of Tongliao. Gadamerin personally led a cavalry battalion and went out fifty miles southeast of Tieling to hide and monitor the enemy's movements. If the enemy comes out for reinforcements, give a head-on blow! ”

The first day passed so smoothly, Cheng Shijie fought for a day in Montenegro, the enemy squad attacked three times, and the total number of little devils killed was less than ten people, and more than 2,000 bullets were fired, and more than 50 mortar shells were fired.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Bai Shujie finally gave Hou Zide the order to attack:

"Ordered Hou Zide's headquarters to arrive at Xinglong Fort in concealment at midnight with a battalion of cavalry to cut off the enemy's reinforcement route. The other two battalions arrived in Zhangjiatun in concealment, and then outflanked the enemy's rear road on the northern road to the northwest, knocked out the enemy's baggage troops, and then flanked their forward! As soon as the mission was accomplished, a battalion moved south to the Montenegrin front. ”

Bai Shujie called Chen Jie over again and said, "You lead the sniper platoon to set off immediately, it's best not to alarm the enemy." Infiltrate the enemy's rear and start tomorrow with a focus on the opposing heavy machine guns and artillery! ”

At nine o'clock in the morning of January 20, 1932, Hou Zide sent a telegram: "The enemy's baggage troops have been defeated, and the Japanese infantry squadron of more than 200 people is currently besieged about 10 kilometers north of Xiaodongtun. Fierce battles are underway. ”

At the same time, Yukihiro Hirata finally tore off the mask, and the heavy machine guns and mortars also fired continuously and continuously, and the number of people in the first charge exceeded sixty, followed by a continuous pig assault!

The little devil's repeated charges without fear of death have caused great pressure on Cheng Shijie! In less than half an hour, an infantry platoon in the forward position was reduced by half! Heavy machine gunners lost a third!

Two platoons went up, and they didn't last for an hour and a half! Of the 64 heavy machine gunners in reserve, only 27 were left by noon! The battle lasted until about half past four in the afternoon, and Cheng Shijie had already lost half of his troops! Among them, the heavy machine gunner has no reserves liliang!

Cheng Shijie stared at the Japanese army on the other side, and his heart twitched: "The order is to hold on for at least five days, and now it is only two days, and half of the troops have been lost." What's next? ”

Speaking of which, Yukihiro Hirata received a telegram from the North Road Infantry Squadron this morning, saying that he was surrounded by the powerful Shina army and asked for tactical guidance! He was overjoyed: Yo Xi! Bai Shujie was finally fooled, and his main forces were all attracted over!

It is under the guidance of this strong self-confidence that the next attack will have the kind of cruel scene that preceded! However, what Yukihiro Hirata and his superiors didn't know was that Bai Shujie's actual strength far exceeded the data they estimated!

Lieutenant General Duomen Jiro of the Second Division of the Japanese Army, combined with various intelligence analysis, believes that Bai Shujie is just a detachment, and he can't even rank in a column! There will be no more than four battalions of combat troops in Bai Shujie's hands, and no more than 2,500 troops will be able to enter the front line of operations!

This conclusion was calculated by all the Japanese commanders, starting with Huang Xiansheng's basic troops, according to the commanders of the various columns in other parts of the three eastern provinces, and then calculated according to the average number of troops under the jurisdiction of each department. Because Huang Xiansheng's strength is the strongest, but his basic army is 3,600 people.

Therefore, the calculation of Bai Shujie's front-line troops at 2,500 people is already an overestimation and a conclusion that was reached after doubling.

As a result, Yukihiro Hirata attacked for a whole day, but there was no progress in the slightest. The enemy's forward positions were less than half a squadron, and no signs of reinforcements were found. However, more than 500 people from two squadrons were concentrated to attack in turns, but they just couldn't attack!

Angry, Yukihiro Hirata beat his squadron leader into a pig's head and shouted: "Baga! A small blocking position has lost more than 100 imperial warriors, and the face of the Imperial Japanese Army has been lost by you! Immediately assemble your troops and give your Zuihou a chance to take over the enemy's position! Otherwise, you should be ready to apologize for your seppuku! ”

Just as he was preparing to carry out an attack on Zuihou today, an explosion came from the artillery position behind him! Immediately after that, there was also sporadic rifle fire from the heavy machine gun position!

Yukihiro Hirata suddenly heard gunshots behind him and knew that something was wrong.

"Baga! Enemy sneak attack! Yukihiro Hirata drew his command knife and ordered Zuihou's reserves to charge behind him, and he was sure to catch the enemy who infiltrated him! By the time they arrived at the artillery position, 6 mortars had already turned into scrap metal! In the heavy machine gun position not far away, only 32 concrete corpses remained, the rest of the defenders were scattered, and the four heavy machine guns were nowhere to be found!

With the loss of artillery and heavy machine guns, the attack in front was not guaranteed. Yukihiro Hirata felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the troops to shrink, and at the same time sent a telegram to the infantry squadron on the southern front, immediately come over and meet him!

It is said that Hou Zide has since defeated a squadron of the enemy's follow-up baggage troops, and then ten kilometers north of Xiaodongtun, he and Deng Xiuyan surrounded a squadron of the little devils. Because there are not enough mortars equipped, they can't be taken down! The little devil who shrunk into a turtle shell is really not so easy to gnaw.

After Bai Shujie learned the news, he hurriedly gave an order: "The second brigade left one battalion to surround the enemy, and the other battalion immediately went south to surround Yukihiro Hirata's headquarters from the northeast!" Then he ordered Cui San'er, the machine gun battalion of the garrison brigade, to lead the whole battalion to set off immediately and cut off Yukihiro Hirata's retreat from the southwest.

Yukihiro Hirata's heavy machine gun positions and artillery positions were lost one after another, so he hurriedly reduced his troops and waited for reinforcements, and it was dawn in a blink of an eye. The first news he received was that a large number of Chinese cavalry had been found in the northeast. The second news is that the infantry squadron that turned around from Baojiatun is currently being stubbornly blocked in the area of Sijiazi, and it is impossible to advance half a step at all!

Putting aside how Yukihiro Hirata handled the situation in front of him, let's not mention it for the time being.

In other words, Bai Shujie heard that the enemy on the southern front was moving north, and knew that the fighter plane had appeared! Zhang Xiang immediately ordered Zhang Xiang to lead the fourth cavalry battalion to set off immediately, follow the enemy into the Hexia area, and block the enemy's retreat. At the same time, the special battalion was ordered to knock out the opponent's infantry artillery, and the machine gun battalion concentrated all the mortars to bombard the enemy's positions!

The southern part of Montenegro is covered with rivers and ravines. Although it is now in the freezing period, the forces on both sides are now in a state of motion, and neither is able to fully deploy. Especially after the mortar bombardment began, the area was completely turned into a quagmire. However, because of the large number of light machine guns, Bai Shujie's department gradually occupied the advantage on the field.

The fierce battle lasted until about four o'clock in the afternoon, and the enemy and us were completely mixed together, and the artillery lost its target. At this time, the barge gun of the Youyan anti-Japanese detachment played a huge advantage! In the process of hand-to-hand combat, after half an hour of fighting, an infantry squadron of the little devil only escaped less than fifty people!

When Yukihiro Hirata heard the news of the defeat on the Southern Front, he hurriedly gave the order to break out. But there are more and more enemies around, and it is difficult to break through! In desperation, Yukihiro Hirata had no choice but to cheekily send a telegram to Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon "requesting tactical guidance"!

Jiro Tamen was waiting for the good news from the front line, but he didn't expect to be waiting for help! His current strength has been fully invested in the crusade, and there are no troops in his hands! Zuihou had no choice but to come to the rescue of the Air Force and ask them to rescue the second brigade.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, after passing through the plane all the way to open the road with bombs, Yukihiro Hirata, who was surrounded, finally escaped from Shengtian. However, the enemy on the northern front was not so lucky.

Bai Shujie saw that the south and middle roads were calming, and immediately ordered the Gadamai south to outflank the enemy's rear road. At the same time, he ordered Hou Zide's cavalry battalion to open a gap, let the enemy out, and then pursue the enemy!

Gadamerin has always been in charge of the guard, but he has never fired a single shot, and his heart is so anxious that his heart is on fire. Now that I received the order, I immediately led the troops to the southwest and inserted Zhangjiatun diagonally! After a whole night of rapid marching, he finally blocked the way of the little devil in the early morning of the next day. And then without stopping, directly command the troops to launch an assault!

Nearly two hundred little devils collapsed in an instant in the face of the repeated impact of more than seven hundred cavalry! At this time, Hou Zide's cavalry also surrounded him. The two cavalry battalions knew each other tacitly, and they started the killing competition! By the time the enemy planes arrived at nine o'clock, there were only corpses all over the mountains, and no living person was ever seen!

By the afternoon of January 22, 1932, the first four-day defense of Fuxin had achieved a complete victory.

In this battle of Fuxin, a complete infantry squadron of the enemy was annihilated, and two infantry squadrons and a machine gun squadron were disabled. A total of 647 enemy personnel were destroyed, and two infantry guns, 4 heavy machine guns, 9 light machine guns, and 416 rifles were captured.

In the Montenegrin blockade battle, the 2nd Infantry Battalion led by Cheng Shijie of the 1st Brigade sacrificed 89 people, seriously injured 267 people, and suffered countless minor injuries! The third battalion of infantry led by Deng Xiuyan suffered 27 casualties, 9 were seriously wounded, and countless minor injuries were inflicted. A total of 116 people were killed in the entire battle, 276 were seriously wounded, and half a battalion of the main force was directly lost!

After this battle, the Liaoning West Corridor entered a period of temporary calm. Bai Shujie and Hirata Yukihiro both buried their heads in the wounds on their bodies, and the anger in their hearts was not visible to others.

In the past six years, they have met four times, and Yukihiro Hirata has been defeated every time. Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon, who ranked second in the top ten guards divisions, was about to lose his old face by Yukihiro Hirata. If it weren't for the right time to hire people now, he would definitely have Yukihiro Hirata apologize!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
