The two infantry companies that attacked Yinzhuang and Jiaozhuang, after receiving the order, found the mortar platoon and heavy machine gun platoon reinforced to him, and then set off immediately after a slight grouping.

Everyone knew very well in their hearts that the shelling time of the county seat and the outlying fortified positions was only one hour.

Because they had been hiding their whereabouts before, the distance between them and the enemy was very long, and now the two companies were still two kilometers away from their targets. If the attack is not launched before the end of the shelling, the trouble will be much greater.

Naturally, the enemy could also see the glittering fire in the direction of the county town behind him, as well as the faint sound of explosions.

No matter what the troops, no matter how tenacious the will to fight is, the moment his base camp and high command are hit, there will definitely be great psychological fluctuations, and now is the time for the enemy to be restless.

As soon as the two forwards moved, the 3rd Infantry Battalion followed. They wanted to launch a charge without hesitation while the two companies were attacking. Then go over the enemy's defensive positions and go straight behind the enemy.

This is a decisive tactic of fighting to the death, and there is not the slightest room for opportunism. Cao Renhou has been in the army for many years, and today he is forced to make this kind of desperate battle plan, which is also forced to be helpless.

At present, except for the south, which may not have any enemy, there are large numbers of enemy reinforcements coming from the other three directions at any time. If the battle is in a stalemate, even if the entire independent division is put into it, it will not be able to complete the campaign goal in the end.

Since it is necessary to take the chestnut from the fire, especially the first rank of general in the million-strong army, the most critical place is that all offensives must be "as fast as wind and rain, as fast as lightning; Don't regret it, seal your throat with a sword. ”

Especially if you have to deal with the elite troops of the little devils, you must not fight in a stalemate, especially not in broad daylight.

If a battle suddenly breaks out at night, it can scrap the planes and artillery of the little devils, and also make the ground reinforcements confuse the truth and create trouble in decision-making.

Because of this, Bai Shujie's battle order called for the battle to begin at eight o'clock in the evening, and the battle process would take up to eight hours, that is, to end the battle before four o'clock in the morning, and then urgently transfer.

When the plan for the annihilation of the 6th Division of the Little Devils was first formulated, the campaign designed by Bai Shujie was launched on the night of the day the Little Devils occupied the county seat, that is, on the night of September 24, 1937.

But later, after Zhao Jinxi understood the purpose of Bai Shujie's painstaking efforts, he finally remembered all his actions in the past two years, and was shocked by Bai Shujie's "prescient and unpredictable!" ”

Now that he has completely entered the orbit of his man's vision, Zhao Jinxi quickly calmed down, re-examined every detail of Bai Shujie's battle plan, and put forward a lot of revisions.

The core change is that the time that has been initiated must be postponed by one day!

Zhao Jinxi's original words to Bai Shujie were: "The little devil launched an attack on the night of entering the city, and you can't take it by surprise, because you have to think about it from the perspective of the little devil." If you suddenly occupy a strange place, will you be able to sit back and relax that night? No, you can't! ”

"The process of fighting to capture a place is conditioned by the natural laws of battle, and it develops according to a kind of inertia. But once the battle is over, both the enemy and us are like frightened birds, for fear that the other party will come again and give themselves a return pistol. Therefore, on the night of the little devil's occupation of Baoding, the whole army must maintain a high degree of vigilance. ”

"If we could have delayed the launch of the campaign by one day, it would have been different. After a day, the little devil should have thoroughly cleaned up the entire unfamiliar environment, and at the same time completed the reconnaissance of the surrounding enemy situation. At this time, it was the first moment of relief after the little devil war. ”

"When our battle was launched, we seized this momentary opportunity, and it was also a fleeting moment. The little devil fought for seven days in a row, which was the most fatigued time period for a person. Once you relax a little, you will feel as if your whole body is about to fall apart, and you don't want to move as long as you lie in bed. ”

"If the attack is launched after the third day, it will not achieve the campaign goal of completely annihilating the 6th Division. Because this kind of elite troops will definitely not be used as local defenders. As long as it settles down a little, the 6th Division will definitely start immediately. When the new battle order is issued, the officers at all levels will be highly nervous, and the best opportunity will be lost. ”

For Zhao Jinxi's incisive exposition, the people in the entire front army headquarters listened to it as if they were fascinated. Bai Shujie was even more impressed, and said secretly in his heart: "The college students in this period have really worked their studies, no wonder they can be called Xiucai!" ”

As for the decision-making process at the top of the command, the specific commanders and fighters below are not clear. However, there is the most important point, which is also the core that makes Cao Renhou's blood boil!

That is, Bai Shujie dared to use one division, plus two regiments to fight more with less, and to eat the enemy's special A division regiment cleanly and thoroughly, and he was also the commander-in-chief of the former enemy!

This is a groundbreaking battle for the Chinese soldiers, and it is also a battle that will be recorded in history forever! If it weren't for his duties, Cao Renhou really wanted to replace the commander of the third battalion and lead the assault battalion to storm the east gate.

The two striker companies lived up to everyone's expectations, as they made the same decision:

That is, to concentrate all of his mortar platoons on the charging road of the 3rd Infantry Battalion, and the 18 mortars were placed in a line 30 meters apart, and ten rapid shots were fired when they went up. There was a slight pause for two minutes, and another ten rapid fires!

In less than fifteen minutes, the enemy's defensive line exploded into a large hole more than 500 meters wide!

The moment the last batch of grenades was discharged, the commander of the third battalion raised the Czech machine gun in his hand, and at the same time roared: "The whole battalion has it, die for the motherland, rush with me-"

Not only did the 3rd Infantry Battalion rush up, but the two vanguard companies moved faster, as if two flying knives flew out of their hands, and they split up to kill their respective siege targets!

Without hesitation, they used their flesh and blood to form two human walls to block the north and south flanks of the 3rd Infantry Battalion's charging channel, ensuring that the 3rd Infantry Battalion would not suffer losses here. In this way, the most powerful forces can be used to attack the enemy's defensive position at the east gate with all their might.

The little devil is the little devil, although his base camp is being destroyed and bombed, the head organ has lost contact, and now it is being bombarded by a sudden shelling, but the little devils on the forward position are still fighting separately and not retreating, which can be regarded as solid as a rock.

The two forwards rushed up in a row, and they had already lost more than 20 people in just one shot. But the speed of the fighters is getting faster and faster, one after the other, fighting bravely.

They poured into the enemy's trenches with the blood of the martyrs, and the battle began with hand-to-hand combat, kicking off the offensive and defensive prelude to the seizure of the county seat.

The fight starts with hand-to-hand combat, which is rarely seen.

But this time it is the only way in the middle of the road, only the little devils who are stubbornly entangled in the first line of defense can relieve the pressure on the enemy's back for the main force besieging the city.

In a decisive battle, there is naturally a decisive method of warfare.

All the officers and men of the Rao'an Independent Division have already made preparations, and none of them have the luxury of expecting to be alive tomorrow morning!

The infantry battalions of the Rehe Front did not have rifles, and the two vanguard companies, except for a third of the men who were Czech light machine guns, and the remaining two-thirds were submachine guns stolen from the Dagu shipyard.

Each had 10 magazines and 2 barrels wrapped around their waists, no ammunition hands, no follow-up reinforcements. If they were the first to rush and fight in front of them, and they couldn't suppress the little devils of a squadron in front of them, and they got the weapons of the little devils to supplement themselves, the consequences would become very severe.

The two reinforced mortar platoons have now begun to carry out interdiction artillery strikes, specifically against the reinforcing enemy on the north and south flanks.

The heavy machine-gun platoon constructed a temporary position with the fastest movement and began to suppress the defensive positions of the enemy's northern and southern flanks.

All of this qiē is done in the midst of lightning, but the layers are rhythmic and methodical. Because the fighters trained secretly for two years for this moment, the Rao'an Independent Division trained secretly.

Raising troops for a thousand days is a time to use soldiers, and today it is completely reflected in the soldiers of the two forward companies.

The warriors are determined to die, and coupled with the dense and continuous continuous firepower, they are powerful. The moment the little devil finished shooting a bucket of bullets with the machine gun and all five bullets in the rifle, the opportunity finally came! Rifles and light machine guns without bullets are worse than burning sticks in front of submachine guns.

After three minutes of hand-to-hand combat, the two companies finally occupied a section of the little devil's trench of more than 100 meters. Yinzhuang in the north and Jiaozhuang in the south were completely separated, and the first tactical objective was achieved.

The two wings are clamped, and the center breaks through. This is the most proud set of tactics of the little devil, and as a result, Cao Renhou used a move to "use the way of others to govern his body", and he was beaten to pieces!

The central assault channel has been expanded to more than 700 meters, and the mortar company and heavy machine gun company that have been reinforced to the third infantry battalion do not dare to slack off, and speed up and quickly get through.

At 20:45 on the evening of September 25, 1937, the 3rd Infantry Battalion, which attacked the east gate of Qingyuan County, safely passed through the first line of defense of the little devils and rushed to the east of the moat.

Now, except for the explosion and fire in the city, all other places are nowhere to be seen. The commander of the third battalion held up the binoculars and used the firelight in the city to observe the other side of the moat, and found that the pillboxes on the north and south sides outside the city gate were still intact. You can still faintly see the Type 92 heavy machine gun inside.

"I'm cāo! The little devil's Su zhì is really extraordinary, the county town has become a sea of fire, and these little devils are still able to hold their ground. If it was the domestic army, it would have run away a long time ago! ”

The third battalion commander was a little indignant: "These little devils are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and Lao Tzu is in trouble!" ”

It was useless to be impatient, the commander of the third battalion used a telescope to constantly scan the other side of the moat, except for the two positions on both sides of the Dongmen Bridge, he finally found the Kuixing Tower in the north of the city wall!

"I, what are the artillerymen doing, such an obvious commanding height is still towering, isn't this a problem for Lao Tzu?" The commander of the third battalion turned his head and shouted in a low voice: "Immediately send a telegram to the artillery regiment and blow up the two heavy machine gun positions outside the east city gate, as well as this Kuixing tower on the city wall!" ”

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