Chapter 249: Ground Ambush Warfare

Yang Zhen who calmed down. After receiving a report from Wang Guangyu, who was commanding the front-line position, that a small plane had landed in the courtyard of the Fourth Division, Yang Zhen immediately understood that the Japanese army had sent an aircraft to meet that Sawada Shigeru when he had learned about it in later generations.

The leader goes first, and this is common in all societies, countries, and armies in ancient and modern times. Man Jiamusi is a lieutenant general of the army. This small plane, which can only seat two people at most, and can't even carry much supplies, has taken such a big risk and landed in Jiamusi, which is full of artillery fire, and there will be no other reason except to pick up Sawada Shigeru.

Because the Japanese, who have always been stingy, have always regarded airplanes as much more important than people. There is nothing important about it, they will not spend such a big price to send planes to Jiamusi, which is now a dead place for the Japanese army. The bombing didn't matter, the Japanese wouldn't mind blowing up Jiamusi. Stingy is stingy, but the Japanese will not skimp on bombs.

But the plane landed in the division headquarters in this small area, but there was a playground large enough for a light plane to take off and land, so it could only come to pick up a certain commander. The only one in the entire Japanese division headquarters with this qualification, except for the commander of the Fourth Division, Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, does not think about the second person.

After understanding the Japanese army's intentions, Yang Zhen, who adhered to the idea that flaws must be reported, picked up the phone and asked Wang Guangyu, who was commanding in front. In the face of the Japanese puppet army huddled together with no more than a thousand people, it was naturally impossible for Yang Zhen to go into battle in person. In fact, Wang Guangyu didn't need it, and it was enough to send a regiment commander.

Although there is no need for a brigade commander to personally command from the front. But Yang Zhen still transferred Wang Guangyu and commanded it personally. Because in his opinion, this time is a rare experience. The guys of the Fourth Division built a city wall for more than half a year, but only built an earthen fence.

But the division headquarters and barracks, these buildings where they lived and saved their lives, refused to cut corners at all. The barracks before it were strong and well fortified. In the first surprise attack on Jiamusi, Yang Zhen had already seen it. But he didn't expect that the regimental headquarters of this division would be more sturdy, and a 75-millimeter mountain shell hit it, but only a corner was blown up.

The 1st Brigade almost knocked out 30 percent of the artillery shells it carried, and only then blew up a few gaps in the outer wall for the troops to assault inward, and it took a lot of effort to knock out dozens of firing points and shooting holes built by the Japanese army on this extremely strong wall. And that's just a perimeter wall.

As for the division headquarters building inside, more than 100 mountain artillery and infantry shells hit it, but they only turned the floor into a pockmarked face, and failed to cause heavy structural damage at all. It didn't even have much impact on the Japanese troops inside, and the firepower coming out of it was still dense.

Standing and looking at the Fourth Division Headquarters building that was not moving in the rain of shells, Yang Zhen couldn't help but sigh that the officials of the Urban Construction Bureau and the Quality Supervision Station in the future would not have to spend a lot of public money to go abroad to investigate the world, just come here to take a look.

Learn from others, see what is called really good architecture, and see what is really good engineering. As long as they have a little conscience, don't recognize anything but money, and have a little more sense of responsibility, there will not be so many tofu scum projects that collapsed within two days of being completed.

As for those bullshit construction experts and engineers, the bosses of real estate development companies should really come and learn and learn, lest the common people spend a lifetime of savings, or even bear a lifetime of debts that are difficult to repay, and the house leaked into a water curtain hole before they could move in. Not to mention a shell, the whole building shook when a truck passed.

It was precisely when he encountered this kind of difficult guy that Yang Zhen asked Wang Guangyu to personally command. Because in the future, unless you always shrink into the base area and do not come out, this kind of tough battle will inevitably run into today. The opportunity is rare, and it is better to do more and see more now than to rush into battle. After today, Yang Zhen was reluctant to take out such a sturdy house for the troops to drill and attack.

When the phone was connected, Yang Zhen said without the slightest politeness: "Lao Wang, the Japanese plane flew in from the northwest just now. But judging by what we know of the internal structure of the headquarters of the 4th Division, whatever their true intentions were, one thing we can be sure of. If he wanted to return, he had to take off from the east. ”

"The headquarters of the Fourth Division is not an airfield, and there is not so much space and manpower for large planes to take off and land. The little devil transferred a light plane at this juncture, and landed at the headquarters of the Fourth Division, there is definitely something going on here. You transfer two anti-aircraft machine guns to the east of the headquarters of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army and ambush them. If this plane takes off from the east, you have to knock him down as soon as it appears. ”

"The little devil's air raid this morning has brought huge casualties to the people of Jiamusi. At this time, this plane landed at the headquarters of the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army in the core area of the entire Jiamusi command, and there must be some secrets in it. No matter what this plane was for, if it could not be shot down, the blood of hundreds of people in Jiamusi would be shed in vain.

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen paused for a moment and said, "Old Wang, this plane is likely to pick up the commander of the Fourth Division, Sawada Shigeru." As long as this plane is shot, the military morale of the little devil will be completely chaotic. You also know that the devils of the Fourth Division can't fight in the field, but there is still some way to shrink their heads and be turtles. ”

"Once these guys are cornered, they may really be able to stimulate the little energy in their bones. Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, these people are not rabbits, they are well-trained soldiers. As long as there is some hope, these guys will resist to the end.

"The reason why they are still resisting now is because they are not yet completely desperate. As long as we defeat their last glimmer of hope, we will be able to break their determination to resist in the shortest possible time. So this plane, since it came, it had to stay. Lao Wang, I think you should understand what I mean. ”

After listening to Yang Zhen's order, Wang Guangyu was silent for a while and said, "Commander, look at this, I concentrated a mortar company and fired a salvo when the little devil plane had not yet taken off. My brigade was in the city of Jiamusi, one by one, and in front of it were two French-made 13-mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and the anti-aircraft machine gunners were half a scoop of water. ”

"It is too late to concentrate the other Soviet-made anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns scattered in the city. The density of fire from the two anti-aircraft machine guns is too thin, and I am afraid that I will miss it when the time comes, and let the little devil run away. ”

Yang Zhen smiled when he heard this: "Aren't you still idle with a heavy machine gun company?" I think the density of these six heavy machine guns should be enough to find a few higher and more open positions and form a fire network with those two anti-aircraft machine guns. Although the Type 92 heavy machine gun of the little devil is not a high-level dual-purpose gun mount, it can also be flexible. Build a makeshift fire platform out of an ammunition box. ”

"Lao Wang, use your brain more in case of trouble, use your existing equipment to be flexible, and you will find that many things are not difficult. Knowing that you can be flexible, you will find that the front that was once densely covered with obstacles will suddenly open up. ”

Putting down the phone, Yang Zhen smiled, raised his binoculars and looked at the only place in Jiamusi City where there was still a dense sound of gunfire. In later generations, in Africa, everyone could use anti-tank rocket launchers to shoot down the helicopters of the US imperialists. Now with six heavy machine guns and two 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, can't you beat a small plane that doesn't fly fast?

The use of heavy machine guns to hit planes is not unprecedented, and it is also common in the Chinese army, which generally lacks air defense equipment. It's just that the triangular gun mount of the Min II quadruple machine gun imitating Makqin and the 30-section heavy machine gun imitating Browning that the Chinese army in Guannai is generally equipped with is more suitable for anti-aircraft fire than the four-legged gun mount of the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun.

After receiving the order, Wang Guangyu hesitated for a moment, and then not only mobilized a heavy machine gun company, but also concentrated nine French-made 1922 light machine guns from his first brigade, which had all been converted into French-style equipped guard companies, and three French-made eight-millimeter Hatch Chase heavy machine guns equipped with Gaoping dual-purpose gun mounts that had been modified from his arsenal.

If it weren't for the strange feeding mechanism of the crooked machine guns, which were not suitable for upward firing, and in order to ensure that the suppressive firepower of the attacking troops in front was not weakened, some of the machine guns could not be withdrawn. In order to complete the task assigned by Yang Zhen, Wang Guangyu was eager to transfer all the machine guns of the whole brigade.

Wang Guangyu used this equipment to form a continuous network of firepower on several commanding heights around an open field on the east side of the regimental headquarters of the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army. Due to Yang Zhen's attention, in order to ensure the success of the first blow, Wang Guangyu handed over the attack task to He Zhishan, the commander of the regiment, and he rushed to the ambush site to personally command this alternative ambush battle of ground ambush and aerial aircraft.

Although he did not know air combat and air defense, he was accustomed to ground ambush warfare, but he used the tactics of ground ambush warfare to the air.

When choosing the key points of ambush, I can't help but say that Wang Guangyu's vision is still quite good. In his opinion, the north was his base, and the plane carrying a Japanese lieutenant general would not fly that way. Unless the people on the plane are dizzy, they will never go north.

As for the other three directions, whatever way the plane flies, but due to the terrain, it must fly to the east first. Therefore, Wang Guangyu used some machine guns to form three cross-fire nets on the ground, focusing on the south and east sides of the Japanese division headquarters. Especially in the south, he knew that there was a large air base of the Japanese army on the Mudanjiang River over there.

So far, although it cannot be said that the Japanese-controlled area is the closest to Jiamusi, it is the safest and well-equipped airport. If nothing else, the plane should fly to Jiamusi.

Wang Guangyu really didn't expect it wrong, after the plane took off and broke off the ground, it hadn't climbed too high, so it adjusted its course and prepared to go straight to the south.

And the south side happens to be the place where Wang Guangyu focuses on guarding. The two anti-aircraft machine guns on hand were concentrated in this direction, not to mention, the three French-made eight-millimeter heavy machine guns equipped with high-level dual-purpose gun mounts.

Seeing that the Japanese planes had entered his firepower network, after roughly calculating the distance, Wang Guangyu gave the order to open fire cleanly.

Although he didn't understand airplanes, let alone the conversion needed for air defense, after all, he had also beaten Japanese cars, so he simply treated the planes flying in the sky as cars on the ground.

Although this tactic sounds a little ridiculous, this tactic is very suitable for the Japanese army, which does not fly fast and does not fly too high. Wang Guangyu didn't know what advance was at all, but he put these machine guns in a group of two, forming an ambush circle with a certain depth.

Just when the Japanese plane, which did not know that the ground had set up a large ambush circle for itself, had just completed its turn and had time to climb to the best altitude. Several nets of fire on the ground opened fire at the same time, spraying a dense barrage of bullets into the sky. This unsuspecting Japanese plane was hit by hundreds of 12.7 mm and 8 mm bullets at once.

Not to mention this kind of small aircraft with almost no armor, such dense firepower is unbearable even for those specialized ground attack aircraft equipped with a small amount of armor. For a light aircraft with little armor protection, a dense rain of bullets, especially the powerful 12.7 mm bullets, was almost devastating to such an aircraft.

Thanks to the tradition of the Japanese combat aircraft always pursuing speed and ignoring survivability, the Japanese aircraft generally lacked protection. Since fighters and light and heavy bombers used as combat aircraft do not have much armor protection and lack self-sealing fuel tanks, this light transport aircraft, which temporarily serves as a special aircraft, will not be an exception.

The dense machine-gun bullets tore through its thin skin, which lacked armor protection. According to the special requirements of Yang Zhen, who had a certain understanding of the performance of Japanese aircraft, one specially imported incendiary bomb mixed in the average five rounds of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets lightly ignited the fuel tank on the fuselage.

The exploding fuel in the exploding fuel tank instantly turned the plane into a blazing fireball. The people on board would have been burned alive even if they had not been killed by bullets that had penetrated the fuselage. And this qiē only happened in just three or two minutes. Even if there are survivors on board, there is no time to skydive.

When this plane carrying the commander of the Japanese Fourth Division, the future commander of the 13th Army, was smashed into a ball of fire near the noses of both the enemy and us, it was obvious that it had a great impact on the morale of both sides.

When the troops of the 1st Brigade on the offensive saw that the enemy plane had been shot down, they naturally thundered with joy and their morale soared. The resistance of the Japanese army, which was still desperately resisting, plummeted. It is obvious that the death of the division commander had a great impact on the morale of the Japanese army.

Seeing that the resistance of the Japanese army had decreased, Wang Guangyu immediately seized the opportunity to take advantage of the advance passage that had been blown up and launched a full-scale attack on the two buildings that the Japanese army was still holding onto. After half an hour of fierce fighting, not only did they wipe out all the forces on the periphery of the Japanese army, but also successfully separated the connection between the remnants of the Japanese troops in the two buildings.

Just as Wang Guangyu was about to launch the final attack, Yang Zhen's order to suspend the attack came from behind. Wang Guangyu, who had planned to finally break through the Japanese resistance in one fell swoop and did his best, received Yang Zhen's order to stop the attack, and after confirming the side in disbelief, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't know that he, a commander who had always been on the battlefield and liked to exterminate the Japanese army in front of him, suddenly changed his style this time, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd? What the hell are you doing?
