For the Manchurian ** such a rapid collapse of the unexpected Kasuma mallet Taro Osa, at this moment the intestines are about to regret the blue. "Piao Astronomy Registered Member Recommends This Work"Piao Astronomy Registered Member Recommends This Work. He originally wanted to replace his 44th Wing with Manchuria** in order to reduce his casualties. But he never thought that the opponent who had been being beaten with his neck shrunk these days would have the strength to fight back.

It's okay for you to let these Manchurian ** let him fight those guerrillas with weak firepower, but if this kind of large corps fights, he can't really afford it. After all, the Japanese army trained fighters for themselves, not an opponent for themselves. The purpose of training these puppet Manchu troops is not to let them undertake the first battle, but to act as a dog leg for themselves to help suppress the resistance in the entire northeast.

The Japanese are very good, and what they need is a dog's leg, not a potential opponent for themselves. This is very clear to Kawama Malletaro Osa. But he did not expect that these puppet Manchu troops would collapse so quickly after the heavy shelling.

As soon as these people officially engaged in battle, they had already collapsed quickly, and suddenly exposed their core positions to their opponents. If it weren't for Kawama's quick response, ignoring the Japanese officers among them, he directly ordered the light and heavy machine guns remaining in the artillery fire on the position to open fire and suppress them, and drove the rout to both sides of the position, and his own position was almost not overwhelmed by these people.

Kawama Dasa's hand was very vicious, and in order to protect his position from being crushed by the rout, he fired directly at the puppet Manchu army that was retreating towards his position. The puppet Manchu army, which was caught off guard and tried to flee into the Japanese position for refuge, suffered heavy casualties. It also swept away the vanguard battalion of the Du Kaishan regiment, which was closely behind and tried to rush into the Japanese position in one fell swoop.

Du Kaishan, who was observing the enemy's situation, saw that the attacking troops were knocked down by the indiscriminate shooting of the Japanese army, and the offensive was also blocked on the position of the puppet Manchurian army. Are your mortars all decorations, it's been so long, why haven't those machine-gun fire points been knocked out by the little devils? ”

Xu Yan, who was scolded, also had a hard time. He did not expect the collapse of the puppet Manchu army. And the infantry followed too closely, and since they broke into the position of the puppet Manchu army, they have been pressing the puppet Manchu army to fight. His own firing range was tightly blocked by the retreating puppet Manchu army and the pursuing infantry, and he could not see how the target could provide fire support.

It's just that before he could explain, Du Kaishan on the other side of the phone followed: "You don't have to explain to me." I told you again and again before the battle, that if the infantry is down there, your artillery will follow there. There are enemy fire points there, and your shells will hit me there. Don't tell me that the machine gun fortifications are made of steel and concrete, and your mortars are not good. ”

Looking at the infantry who were pressed to the front by more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, and could only lie on the ground and shoot at the other side, Du Kaishan was extremely anxious. Compared with the Japanese army's long-range shooting accuracy, their own troops are looking for death. Don't look at the fact that they are all equipped with the same Type 38 rifles, but they are almost empty of bullets within two or three hundred meters, and half of the people on their side can knock down the target within one hundred and fifty meters.

The only way to avoid casualties in battle with the Japanese was to enter close combat as best as possible. Of course, this melee combat does not refer to fighting a white-knuckle battle with the Japanese army. The little devil's white-knuckle combat ability, at least now, is not comparable to his own troops, which is not only clear to Liu Changshun, but also clear to Wang Guangyu and Du Kaishan.

The melee combat they are talking about refers to the use of a large number of submachine guns and automatic firearms such as fast and slow machines equipped in their hands to use the intensity of fire to defeat the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army in close combat. Try to avoid firing at Japanese rifles or even machine guns. Especially at this time, the number of submachine guns in Du Kaishan's hands is very rich, and he will not use his weaknesses to touch the strengths of the Japanese army idiotically.

When the Fourth Division was there, the secret base of Qunce Mountain was surrounded by the Japanese army. However, after the withdrawal of the 4th Division, the remaining Japanese puppet army was only enough to maintain a frontal attack and protect its flanks, and it was not enough to form a complete encirclement.

After the encirclement of the puppet army was weakened and only the frontal troops were left behind, and he could resume direct contact with Qunce Mountain, the commander-in-chief immediately transported more than 400 submachine guns produced overtime in the past few days, as well as a large number of modified southern-style pistol cartridges, to Qunce Mountain as quickly as possible.

After receiving this batch of weapons, Guo Bingxun, who had already begun to prepare for a counterattack, did not hesitate, and put all this batch of submachine guns into the hands of the two regiments in the shortest possible time. His tactics are obvious, and it's not their ones to shoot against the little devils. Fighting bayonets is not an opponent of others, and they can't fight either. But we can use the large number of automatic weapons that the imps don't have on hand to fight them in melee combat.

And the counterattack tactics formulated by Guo Bingxun are also very simple, that is, to break through the defense line of the frontal puppet Manchu army as quickly as possible and suppress the puppet Manchu army. After defeating the puppet Manchu army in the front, the whole army followed behind the butt of the puppet Manchu army, driving the rout of the puppet Manchu army to the Japanese defense line, and striving to break the Japanese frontal defense line.

Guo Bingxun's idea was good, but he didn't expect that the Japanese army would kill at a critical time in order to ensure that his position would not be disrupted by the rout of the puppet Manchu army. Not to mention stopping the rout of the puppet Manchu army with firepower, he also beat rabbits with grass, causing severe casualties to his attacking troops.

Seeing that the attacking troops suffered a lot of casualties, there was more than one Du Kaishan with red eyes, and even Guo Bingxun, who was observing the battle less than 200 meters behind Du Kaishan, had red eyes. From the telescope, Du Kaishan could clearly see that the battalion at the head of the attacking force had suffered at least half a company casualties under the indiscriminate fire of the Japanese army.

The distance was too close, less than two hundred meters, and according to the training range of the devil machine gunners, and the number of light and heavy machine guns on the devil's position, this distance was enough for this sharp knife battalion to suffer casualties. If it weren't for the rout of the puppet Manchu army in front, this sharp knife battalion would probably have suffered more casualties.

Guo Bingxun, who was a little red-eyed, picked up the phone and was about to give an order to the artillerymen, asking them to use artillery fire to give the little devil's forward position on the plough side. He knew very well what would await the attacking troops if he didn't knock out those light and heavy machine gun fire points. It was only the moment he picked up the phone that he suddenly calmed down again.

At this time, the distance between the two armies at the front was less than 100 meters, the distance was too close, and the training of their own artillery was still somewhat insufficient. What kind of casualties will the attacking troops suffer if they are covered by artillery fire at such a close distance? I'm afraid it's unimaginable at all.

Perhaps seeing the hesitation on Guo Bingxun's face, an operational staff officer next to him said: "Chief of Staff, do you see if the attacking troops are slightly retreating." In this way, we can use artillery fire to re-suppress the stubborn resistance of the Japanese troops in front of us, or we can wait for the commander's side to attack, and attract some of the Japanese troops in front of us to reduce the pressure on our front. ”

Regarding this staff officer's construction, Guo Bingxun shook his head without thinking about it and said, "No." These Japanese troops were not the kind of troops of the 4th Division. They are all veterans who have been brainwashed by the spirit of bushido and are not afraid of death. In the midst of artillery fire, the survival rate of veterans does not need to be said that you know. Even if they are covered by artillery fire, they may not be able to destroy these light and heavy machine guns. Once we pull down, let them breathe their breath, and if they want to attack again, I don't know how much it will cost. ”

"Besides, the commander's side is inferior to us, but in fact he is responsible for the main attack. On our side, we only need to separate this 44th Wing from the Lin Fang detachment left behind by the 4th Division. And the main burden of interspersing and dividing the Japanese army is on their side. When our side stops attacking for the time being, the pressure on his side increases. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun was somewhat anxious. Seeing that the thirty-minute attack time agreed with the commander was about to arrive, there was no progress here. Once the main force of the Japanese army cannot be attracted, Yang Zhen's side will inevitably bear unimaginable pressure.

Judging from the overall deployment of the Japanese army, although the Japanese army over there only had two squadrons, there were still two squadrons of the Japanese army in the position behind them at the junction with the main force of the 44th Wing. Moreover, the 3rd Cavalry Brigade is not the 4th Division. Once the current 44th Wing is in danger, it will definitely desperately reinforce it.

If there is no progress on his side, he will not be able to attract some of the Japanese troops deployed in the north. Then it will bring unimaginable pressure to Yang Zhen and Liu Changshun of the Second Regiment. They had only one regiment in strength, and it would be extremely difficult to face a flanking attack from both sides.

Thinking of this, Guo Bingxun gritted his teeth and picked up the phone to get through Wang Guangyu, who was making a feint attack on Lin Fang's detachment and was cutting off the contact between the 44th Wing and Lin Fang's detachment.

As soon as the phone rang, Guo Bingxun did not have the slightest politeness, and said directly: "Lao Wang, you use part of your troops to restrain Lin Fang's detachment." The main forces immediately turned. Advance to the right flank of the 44th Wing as quickly as possible. No matter what the cost is, it is necessary to attract some of the Japanese troops from the north. In twenty minutes, I'm going to hear you start. ”

"Yes, the task given to you is not a feint. Now I don't care about the main attack or the feint. You and Du Kaishan, whoever takes the lead in opening the Japanese defense will be the main attacker. ”

Hearing that Wang Guangyu had some doubts about his orders, the time was urgent, and Guo Bingxun didn't explain much to him. Just tell Wang Guangyu, your side will fight down first, make a breakthrough first, and you will be the main attacker.

After giving Wang Guangyu an order, Guo Bingxun wanted to pass Du Kaishan again, and said straight to the point: "Du Kaishan, are you still okay?" I have ordered Wang Guangyu to turn around and attack the flank of the 44th Wing in the shortest possible time. If you can't do it, just retreat and let Wang Guangyu take over as your main attacker. ”

Hearing that Guo Bingxun had ordered Wang Guangyu to turn, Du Kaishan's eyes turned red. After putting down the phone, he personally rushed to the artillery company's position and said directly to Xu Yanhe and the commander of the regimental infantry artillery company: "The chief of staff has turned a regiment to attack from the right flank of the devil. I'll tell you directly what they're here for, to grab the position of our main attack group. ”

"If they break through the little devil's defense first, our main attack group will be lost. When the time comes, how will we still be able to hold our heads up? Whether this main attack position can be kept, can you give a happy word today. Can you use artillery shells to send troops to Lao Tzu? ”

Du Kaishan's words made the two artillery company commanders blush. After a short silence, Xu Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Commander, don't worry." Even if our two companies are exhausted, we will send troops up this time. The position of this main attack regiment belongs to our three regiments, and no one can grab it. ”

After saying that, Xu Yan turned his head to Qin Yishui, the commander of the infantry artillery company, and said: "Old Qin, your infantry artillery has a longer range than mine, and the accuracy of direct aiming is higher than that of my mortar." My mortar movement is more convenient than yours, the elevation angle of shooting is high, and it is suitable for hitting such open-air fortifications. In this way, you send my mortar company to the front with fire, and I will support the infantry there. Damn, Lao Tzu is out of the way, and he fights and pulls it down. ”

When Qin Yishui heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Old Xu, I think it's okay." Not only your mortar company is ahead, but my infantry artillery is also ahead. Do you see that three hundred meters in front of the devil on the right side, is there a dirt ridge in the position of the puppet Manchu army that has been taken by us? It's not high, just over half a meter high. Although it can't overlook the entire Japanese position, it is facing the front line of the devils. In a moment my infantry artillery will move there, and I will fire there to cover you. ”

"But let's not be brutal. So we divide the work, your mortar is relatively flexible, and you suppress the grenadier canister and light machine gun of the devil. My infantry artillery uses direct-aim fire to knock out devils' heavy machine guns. When my infantry artillery was moving there, you opened fire to cover me. When I'm in place, and when it's played, you're moving forward. ”

"The devil's artillery has been knocked out, and the biggest threat to us are grenadiers and light and heavy machine guns. This grenadier in particular was too much of a threat to our machine guns. As you saw just now, several of the attacking troops' machine guns were destroyed at the hands of these bunnies. If we do not defeat them, even if our troops rush forward and lose the cover of machine-gun fire, it will be difficult to resist the counter-charge of the Japanese army. ”

Both of them are crisp and unobtrusive people. Now that it has been discussed, there is nothing more to say, and immediately lead their respective troops into action.

Xu Yan led the mortar company to forcibly move to less than 200 meters away from the Japanese position under the cover of bayonets on the infantry guns, regardless of the cost and consumption, and under the cover of close firing at the expense of the Japanese army's firepower.

As soon as he arrived at the predetermined area, Xu Yan commanded the mortar company to go crazy. For the grenades that exploded from time to time around you, it was as if you didn't see them. As for the light and heavy machine gun bullets that seemed to be poured out on the Japanese position, they didn't care at all. Even at such a close distance, it was almost 90 degrees Celsius, and the shells fired by the cannon body could fall on his head at any time, and he didn't care about it.

Xu Yan and Qin Yishui worked so hard, but the Japanese army couldn't stand it. The two people work together and have a clear division of labor. Except for grenadiers, which are extremely simple and difficult to find the firing point, almost all the exposed machine gun fortifications of the Japanese army have been knocked out one by one.

The opponent lost the support of machine guns, and the attacking troops, suppressed by Japanese fire, immediately took advantage of this opportunity to rush into the Japanese positions. Using the tactical combination of a large number of submachine guns and fast and slow machines in his hands, he swung the three fierce tactics he trained on weekdays to the extreme. Fighting a Type 38 rifle with a good bayonet. The Japanese army, who wanted to use the tactics of white-knuckle warfare, drove out the opponents who rushed into their positions, and suffered heavy casualties.

Watching the opponent's weapons spraying dense tongues of fire knock down his comrades in pieces, he had almost no room to fight back. Looking at the light and heavy machine gun positions on his side, they were destroyed one by one by the infantry guns and mortars that the opponent had almost pushed under their noses. The remnants of the Japanese army, which had always been known for their tenacity, finally could not withstand it.

After paying a price that was definitely not small, Du Kaishan finally broke down the first-line defense of the 44th Wing. After breaking through the Japanese army's front-line position, Du Kaishan immediately transferred a battalion to replace the Sharp Knife Battalion, which was also almost disabled, and quickly expanded into the Japanese position.

Seeing that the front-line positions were broken through, the two squadrons at the front suffered casualties embers. In order to stabilize the position of the second line, under the situation of fierce fighting in the south, Kawama Matsutaro Osa had to transfer two infantry squadrons and one heavy machine gun squadron from the place where the enemy situation had not yet appeared on the northern front. Just when these squadrons had just rushed to the frontal position in an attempt to strengthen the defense of the second line of positions in the face of the artillery fire from the opposite side from time to time, the originally calm northern front suddenly sounded a dense artillery sound.

Hearing the sound of artillery on the northern front, Kawama Maletaro Osaku couldn't help but be stunned. In an instant, he understood that he had been tricked. On the northern front, he deployed the same brigade reinforced by the 43rd Wing. After two infantry squadrons and one heavy machine gun squadron were drawn, there were only two infantry squadrons left in the north, where they could withstand the onslaught of the opponent? As for the puppet Manchu army deployed in that direction, he had long lost any confidence.

This time, the 11th Division sent troops to Qunce Mountain, except for the brigade reinforced by the 43rd Wing, and the 44th Wing was the main force. The four infantry battalions of the 44th Wing itself, except for the casualties of more than two squadrons after taking over the attack of the 4th Division, and the two squadrons deployed to the south and part of the troops that took over from the 8th Wing to protect their supply lines, the rest were mainly deployed on the front in order to maintain pressure on the line of Qunce Mountain.

However, due to the limitations of the terrain, the 44th Wing was deployed as a ladder as a whole. There weren't many troops in front of it. With the exception of two squadrons each in the first and second line positions, the rest of the troops were behind the command. However, although the opponent ended the large-scale artillery bombardment, it formed a duty artillery group with part of the artillery. As long as they draw troops from the rear to support them, they will cover the reinforcement routes with dense firepower.

At the beginning of the crisis situation in the first-line position, in order to reinforce the first-line and stabilize the second-line position, Lieutenant General Karuma Mautaro had already filled in more than a squadron under this artillery group. He really didn't dare to transfer troops from behind to fill in. If you fill it in again, you won't even have reserves in your hands.

Although the artillery bombardment was only an hour in the battle, and the actual contact between the two armies lasted only more than 20 minutes, although Du Kaishan's Sharp Knife Battalion suffered heavy casualties, the two squadrons deployed by Kawama Magataro on the front line were also exhausted. Even under the tactics of the opponent's desperate efforts and the concentration of all the firepower, the second line of defense has a tendency to collapse.

Kawama knew very well that once the second-line position also collapsed and the enemy to the south made a breakthrough, then the entire position of the 44th Wing was in danger of collapsing on the entire front. Even if Kawama Mataro is reluctant, he can only tear down the east wall and make up the west wall. It's just that he didn't expect that the opponent would also ambush an ambush army to the north of him.

No matter how sluggish Kawama Mataro is to fight to this point, he knows that he has fallen into a trap carefully designed by his opponent. What is taking advantage of the weakness to capture Jiamusi is purely a suspicious tactic used by them. Feint to attack Jiamusi and transfer back the main force of the 4th Division. In the concentration of forces, he is already a lone army. The opponent is really well-intentioned for himself.

Ama, who was stunned by the dense gunfire from three sides, Kawama Maletaro couldn't help but have a question in his heart at this time: "How many troops do these people have?" How can you fight more and more? Since the forces they raided on Jiamusi had been withdrawn, why didn't Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru have any news there? ”

Kawama Majitaro, who was already tired of dealing with the frontal battle situation here, was caught off guard by Yang Zhen's sudden attack and was in a hurry. Liu Changshun, who attacked on time, hit quite smoothly.

Maybe it was because he had a heart, or maybe it was Yang Zhen's daily teachings on weekdays, half an hour later than the front, Liu Changshun, who attacked in the north, adopted the same tactics as Du Kaishan. A large number of automatic firearms were concentrated, and close combat tactics were used as much as possible under the cover of approaching artillery.

After all, the 75-millimeter mountain artillery equipped by Liu Changshun was much lighter than the field artillery that was used as the main force of fire support on the front. Although the firing range is not as good as that of field artillery, fighting in the mountains, for fire support equipment, it is more important for the weight of the weapon than the range.

Liu Changshun, who suffered a loss in Jiamusi, was much smarter this time. After the artillery completed the fire cover, immediately stuck a mountain artillery company from Qiu Jintang. Combined with infantry artillery and mortars, several artillery detachments were formed, and the tactics of bayonets on artillery were adopted to shoot at close range. Several types of artillery division and cooperation took advantage of their respective firing range and firing angle advantages to hit the Japanese fire points and cover the infantry attack.

Since a similar tactic has already been used in Jiamusi, this time the coordination can be regarded as skilled. Under the cover of artillery fire, the first wave of attacking troops easily broke the defense line of the puppet Manchu army and rushed directly into the defensive positions of the Japanese army in the rear.

Unlike the front and south sides because of the reminder of Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada before leaving, and the fact that the main force of the Fourth Division had withdrawn, and the relatively complete fortifications had been completed, here, because the Japanese army had been on the offensive before, and there were defensive positions of the puppet Manchu army in front, the Japanese troops on this side did not even do a defensive position except for a few simple warning positions. Directly exposed to the bare position and passively beaten.

After the two squadrons at the junction behind them were taken by Kawama Daisa to stabilize the position in front of Dìng, the remaining two squadrons were exposed to the bare position, and under the fire attack for a while, the casualties were extremely heavy, and they actually lost their combat effectiveness. Liu Changshun's side is actually very easy.

I didn't expect that I could break through the frontal defense of the Japanese puppet army so easily, so that Liu Changshun, who was quite energetic but felt like a punch in the air, did not hesitate at all. Except for leaving a battalion to block possible reinforcements from the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, he did not leave any reserves and threw all the forces at hand into the attack. In the shortest possible time, in accordance with the battle plan, he wanted to completely separate the 44th Wing and lay a good foundation for the next step of thoroughly resolving the 44th Wing.
