Chapter Eighty-Three: A Blessing in Misfortune
Looking at the corpse of the Japanese army in front of him, Tang Zheng, who could hardly believe his eyes, immediately realized that what he had killed was definitely not the headquarters of a brigade. It should be the Japanese army in Qingfengdian, the supreme headquarters of all the defenders. Because in the command of a brigade, there will definitely not be a big sa.
The Japanese army did not waste talents, and it was not in the habit of using Osa as a captain. There was no habit of strengthening command before the war and sending senior officers to the troops below. The Japanese army has always been quite stingy in the use of senior commanders, and as a scout, he knows it.
In a division, there are no more than five or six large sashes. It would never be sent to command a brigade. Even if the composite detachment at the brigade level was strengthened, the Japanese army has always rarely sent a large officer to command. There is actually a big Zuo here, according to the actual situation of the Japanese Qingfeng store defenders reported by the superiors before the war. Basically, there is no need to think about other aspects, this is the Seifudian Japanese High Command.
After discovering this news that excited him, Tang Zheng immediately followed the habit he had developed in the reconnaissance company. Let your own combat team, except for leaving two people on guard outside. The rest of the people left aside the battle outside, and immediately searched this hidden department, and did not spare any paper with handwriting.
Even the military uniform pockets on all the corpses had to be turned over. Everything in the entire concealment department must not be let go, and not a single blind spot should be left. Born as a scout, he knows that the headquarters or headquarters of the Japanese army above the brigade level may have important things on every piece of paper.
In particular, the codebook and ciphertext of radio communication are of the utmost importance. His sneak attack was quite sudden, and he knew the power of the grenades made by the Anti-Union themselves. Without giving the Japanese army much time to react, the codebook and cipher book would certainly not have had time to be destroyed. If these two things can be obtained, it will definitely be of great benefit to the superior command.
Moreover, those guys in the enemy engineering section of the division's political department, and even the Japanese army's officer ID card or the family letter of the Japanese officer and soldier, can judge something. This is where the entire Qingfeng Dian Japanese High Command is located, presumably the enemy engineering department will be more interested in the things here.
As for the one hanging on the wall of the shelter, the Japanese fortifications on the entire Qingfengdian battlefield, the distribution of communication trenches, and the deployment of troops. It was ripped off at the first time, carefully folded and put into the pocket of his military uniform. After his subordinates swept through the entire concealment department, Tang Zhengcai immediately withdrew with his troops.
This is not only a sign of the latest deployment of the Japanese army, but also a clear mark on the position of the brother troops around them. With this map of the entire battlefield situation of the Japanese army in Qingfengdian, he didn't have to rush around like a blind man touching an elephant, so he naturally knew where he should go.
It's just that there are not a lot of Japanese troops around, after finding out that his headquarters is attacked, where will he leave so easily. I didn't know that the shelter had been terminated, and all the commanders had been loyal to the emperor, and the Japanese troops were guarding around this shelter. Desperately fighting back at the location of the cover, trying to rescue their Wing Commander from being in danger.
Looking at the Japanese troops who were quickly surrounding the surroundings, although the troops and firepower were inferior, Tang Zheng did not have any fear. Command his own troops to deploy on the spot, using the original fortifications of the Japanese army to respond to the battle. Tang Zheng didn't care much about whether he could stand out.
It was the command of the Japanese army that he was fighting, and the surrounding Japanese troops were bound to go all out to rescue. In this case, the longer you are nailed here, the more Japanese troops will be attracted, and more fighters will be created for the surrounding friendly and neighboring troops. So as for whether he can break through, Tang Zhengzhi doesn't care very much.
But the map in his hand, as well as whether the captured information could be sent, he was very anxious. Although it was only slightly the same in Japanese, he knew from the handwriting on the seized information that it was quite important. In particular, the wireless telegraph of the Qingfengdian defenders and the front line of Shimen and Baoding and the password for the external communication of the Shimen defenders.
After hesitating, he fetched the veteran who had been following him from the reconnaissance company. After stuffing all the captured materials, as well as the roster in his satchel, the weapon configuration roster, and the secret book in the hand of the walkie-talkie pilot, into a captured Japanese satchel.
He handed the satchel to the veteran, pointed to the northeast and said, "You are a veteran I brought from the reconnaissance company, and you were the backbone when you were in the reconnaissance company." Judging by the current situation, only you can rush out. The contents of this satchel are the distribution of fortifications and the deployment of troops in and around Qingfeng Store.
"These things are related to whether our army can complete the task of capturing Qingfeng Store in the shortest possible time. In any case, this satchel was to be delivered to the regiment commander. Remember that the person is in the bag, even if the person is gone, and if he becomes a ghost, he must send the bag to the place and hand it to the head of the regiment. ”
After explaining the task, Tang Zheng hesitated for a moment and took out his pistol again, and stuffed it into the old soldier's hand along with the last two magazines. And the automatic rifle in the hands of the veteran was replaced by a submachine gun equipped with a walkie-talkie operator. He also handed over all the remaining five anti-union grenades to this veteran, and replaced the Japanese grenades in his hand.
The experienced veteran, after receiving the satchel he handed over, as well as the pistol and magazine, knew that the situation was urgent and did not argue. Carry the satchel on your body and fasten it carefully. Taking advantage of the smoke of the explosion of a grenade thrown by his comrades, he jumped up and jumped out of the fortification where Tang Zheng was, and ran quickly to the northeast.
Along the alley where you came, it disappeared into the surrounding rubble in a blink of an eye. And Tang Zheng, who was behind him, concentrated all his firepower to attract the surrounding Japanese troops. Let the Japanese troops in front of them have no time to take care of this individual soldier who broke through the encirclement and give up the pursuit operation. After the veteran was safely highlighted, Tang Zheng, who was relieved, immediately gathered his spirit to deal with the battle situation in front of him.
As for whether the veteran can fulfill his entrustment and deliver the information safely, he is not very worried. As long as he can stand out, with his ability, there is absolutely no problem in finding the regimental headquarters or the battalion headquarters. He is quite confident in the soldiers he brought out.
However, at this time, Tang Zheng, who was full of self-confidence and killed the supreme commander of the Japanese army in the entire Qingfengdian, did not know it yet. Twenty minutes before he knocked out the Japanese headquarters, less than three hundred meters from the right flank of his position, an assault platoon led by his instructor had knocked out the headquarters of a Japanese brigade before him.
When he rushed into the Japanese headquarters, the Japanese officer who collided with him head-on and was stabbed to death by him with a bayonet was the senior staff officer of the wing who was about to be temporarily sent to take over the post of captain of the brigade. In addition, the other captain who was killed as soon as the battle began, after he killed Goichi Nakahata, the entire Japanese command system of Seifudian has been completely destroyed.
Compared with his instructor's record, his action of ending the 6th Infantry Wing Headquarters of Qingfengdian, where the Japanese army was located, caused the most fatal damage to the entire Qingfengdian Japanese command system. Because the wing is in the Qingfengdian unit, all the officers above the squadron leader are basically in this concealment department.
He served the people in a pot, and there was no more officer above the squadron leader in the entire Qingfengdian Japanese army. This blow was the most lethal to the Japanese army on the Qingfengdian battlefield. Although the Japanese army has a very strong ability to fight on its own, at the same time, the sense of initiative and cooperation of various units is also quite strong.
However, without a coordinated and unified command, we will be caught in a situation of fighting separately, and no matter how strong our combat effectiveness is, we will not be able to bring into play. Most critically, there is no unified command of senior commanders. The remaining squadron leaders, no matter how strong their coordination ability is, it is difficult to grasp and deploy the entire battle situation uniformly.
In the command system of the Japanese army, once a military commander dies in battle, there are strict rules for the successor. At the wing level, it is generally the deputy wing captain who takes over. Although the Japanese Army's high command does not have a deputy position, it is generally the main establishment of a directional operation, and it is also the wing level with the lowest establishment of the Japanese army's combined operations, and a deputy wing commander, that is, the so-called reserve commander, is set up as a successor.
But at present, the deputy wing commander of the Sixth Wing is still in his original station in Central China. The candidates below him who were qualified enough to replace them also went to meet their Amaterasu. Almost at the same time, the Japanese army, which lost all the officers above the rank of squadron leader, and the remaining group of squadron leaders, who will take over the command of the entire battlefield, can hardly achieve complete smooth command.
The key is that everyone is the squadron leader, and whoever will be the successor will probably be difficult to convince the public. Because according to the regulations of the Japanese army, after the death of the captain, when the superiors did not send a replacement. According to the strict substitution rules, a squadron leader can take over the position of group leader. But if you want to command other brigades, it's basically impossible.
Perhaps the top brass of the Japanese military who formulated these regulations never imagined that there would be a situation where all qualified personnel of a wing would be killed in battle as they are today, and they had never formulated similar regulations. In addition, in the absence of the deputy wing commander, it is strange that the command system of the Japanese army can be straightened out. At the very least, there will be a situation where two infantry brigades are fighting on their own.
At this time, I didn't know that at this time, the entire Qingfengdian Japanese army had lost all of the same command, Tang Zheng. Because the walkie-talkie was broken, he lost all contact with his neighbors and superiors, and he was even more unclear. At almost the same time as he killed the battlefield of Qingfengdian, the supreme commander of the Japanese army. The front command of his regiment commander was also attacked by Japanese mortars.
In the previous situation almost without warning, a 90-millimeter mortar shell suddenly came from the depth of the Japanese army, hitting the position of the front finger. I don't know if it was a mortar shell that had been aimed a long time ago or had been fired inadvertently. The command system of their own troops also inflicted heavy losses.
Because the two armies are now on the opposite front, the range of these mortars is extremely close. The group of veterans who didn't even have time to give Li He a front finger, any reaction time, exploded on the head of the front finger. The chief of staff who was with the regiment commander died immediately, and although the regiment commander was desperately protected by the guards, he was also seriously injured by shells all over his body, and he was seriously injured like a hedgehog and lost his ability to command.
Compared with the Japanese army, which killed all the commanders above the squadron commander level, fortunately, Li He's front command suffered heavy losses. The chief of staff was killed, and he himself was seriously wounded. However, the regimental headquarters led by the political commissar did not suffer any losses because it was commanded separately from Li He.
The political commissar and the deputy regiment commander were unharmed, the command system remained intact, and the regimental headquarters maintained control over the troops. It is undoubtedly a blessing in misfortune that the command system will not be completely knocked out like the Japanese army, and that the command system will fall into chaos on the battlefield because the command system has been disrupted.
