Chapter 47: Battle
On the restless night, the war was raging, and the hustle and bustle reached the sky thirty miles south of Wusheng Pass, and it was more than 100 miles away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The night was deep, the wind was gusting, and the changes in the battlefield were conveyed to the mountain tops forty miles away in the words of lights, and they entered the mouth of the command group to discuss, schedule, and point out the direction of the battle situation.
For the second time, the Japanese army returned to the aid of a brigade and regiment, and formed stragglers to outflank the 4,000 blocking troops in a roundabout way, in a vain attempt to encircle and annihilate the attacking force in one fell swoop.
However, the terrain is not dominant, and the area that seems to be undefended by troops is full of treacherous mines, and it cannot be cleared at all in the night, which makes everyone frightened by the devil soldiers, and the speed of the outflanking operation is slow.
Not only that, the advance team members ordered the snipers to occupy favorable terrain to block the devil soldiers, cover a group of soldiers to arrange tricky mines, and block the little devils from outflanking the operation in a roundabout way.
This operation was in full swing on the main battlefield, and the treacherous thunder array was scattered, and the local materials were taken, and the guy who captured the devil soldiers was sent down by Shibu.
At the same time, the 4,000 people in the south stopped fighting, directly surrounded and annihilated the devil soldiers in the devil convoy, grabbed the mortar and arranged the artillery position, and then launched an extremely rapid fire on the little devil rescue force, blowing up patches of mushroom smoke.
The artillery positions temporarily formed by the Japanese army were destroyed at the first time, and the tactics of the advance team were fully rolled out, with the elimination of the heavy firepower of the little devils as the first priority.
Except for the artillery position, about 300 people took charge of the artillery position and launched artillery coverage, and the rest of the people entered the hilly hills, arranged tricky mines, and temporarily left the strings, and quickly launched on the ridge behind the blocking troops in front.
Separated by a rushing road, less than 200 meters away, the guns and bullets in front of them were shining brightly, and the soldiers ignored them and were busy with their own work, which had never happened in the national army, and the tactics were innovated.
Relatively speaking, Li Tao and the national army had an advantage in numbers, and according to the cover of the fire of the hidden fort, they organized a surprise attack of the top soldiers, and launched a strong attack in three places, round after round, without risking the death charge, and fought very flexibly.
The Japanese army passively counterattacked, and it was not clear how many troops the Nationalist army had, and it seemed panicked when the rear supply lines were attacked, and when the second rescue force was blocked, it decisively supported the three brigades, and put on a strong posture to recapture the supplies.
At this time, the roundabout forces of the Nationalist army flanked the Japanese army from the east and west flanks, forming an encirclement posture, and in one fell swoop crushing the Japanese troops on the outer line and shrinking to the inner line.
The Japanese command blew up the pot, was not good at night fighting, the terrain was unfamiliar, embattled, and realized the crisis in the dark, and the three frontal places were precarious, the artillery fire of the national army was too fierce, and the mortar positions were destroyed in one fell swoop, and the battle situation was extremely passive, what should I do?
There are many reasons why the situation is out of control, first, the national army fortress cluster only defends and counterattacks at the beginning, and the consistent garrison fighting style does not show artillery fire and heavy firepower, but is scouting the position of the Japanese army's heavy firepower to prepare for the attack.
Second, the terrain is unfamiliar, extremely passive at night, the map and fire suppression are almost ineffective, and a detachment of assault troops may emerge from under a ridge, directly grenade and light machine guns, which is impossible to prevent, and may not be able to be detected when you sneak close to your eyes.
Third, the battle line was too long, stretching for more than ten miles, there were too many blind spots, and the two wings were flanked by the front and rear and suffered heavy losses, and they quickly closed to the center.
Fourth, the rear was attacked, it seems that there are not many troops, but the fighting method is the thief, it is all the set of the advance team, the devil is coming, isn't his troops at the front of Xinyang?
To sum up, the Japanese army command of the above four is blind, and I don't know what to do about this phenomenon on the surface? In desperation, he shrank his troops, supported the rear, tried in vain to open up the rear road, stabilize the forward front, and did not call Wuhan for help.
In essence, the Japanese army won the victory in the Battle of Wuhan, and the cost of casualties was very high, and many troops were clearing various areas, and the number of troops was seriously insufficient; even if there were many troops, the rescue could not be carried out in time, and a division of the Japanese army could not pull down the face to ask for help, just because the strength still existed and did not admit defeat.
Yangguan occupied the airfield, and now it is clear to the Japanese army at a glance that the telegram is clear, which is an advantage, and the Japanese attack on Wushengguan naturally informed the airfield to assist in the defense, and the telegram is universal, and the Japanese army miscalculated.
In this way, the dispatch of the Japanese army was all under surveillance, and the troops were retracted to stabilize the front in case they were counter-encircled and annihilated by the national army, which was a decent way of fighting and the most advantageous way to deal with it at night and in the unfavorable form of the battle situation.
According to the Japanese army's telegram, a strict order was issued for the rear rescue troops, not to rush forward, to fight steadily, to recapture the materials, and to guard against the devil dividing and encircling and annihilating.
The little devil was afraid, prompting the reinforcement troops not to dare to make a large-scale detour of the convoy, which was a big mistake, the Japanese army was testing the combat strength of the advance team, afraid of being induced to encircle and annihilate, the devil's tactics were too treacherous, and they could not afford to lose.
I have to say that this kind of fear is in the middle of it, and the advance team is not much and has a tie with the little devils, which is the strength of four brigades, and only 8,000 people are contained, which is a miracle and incredible.
However, it was not without reason, first of all, the advance team had arranged too many deceitful thunder arrays, which could be called dense, and almost a quarter of the troops were laying out the mine arrays, and after completing them, they decisively withdrew to the hills and hills in the rear.
The devil soldiers trembled and attacked the first hill and mountain, and the thunder array exploded one after another, causing the casualties of the devil soldiers to rise for a while, and the attack speed can be called a turtle shrinkage, no matter how the devil officer ordered the devil soldiers, they could not change the status quo, and the devil soldiers were afraid of death.
Of course, the devil soldiers are not stupid, they have used grenades to bomb and advance, and the trick thunder array seems to be destroyed, but when the devil soldiers enter it, they encounter a string dark thunder array, all of which are personally operated by the soldiers who are reserved in the rear, and they kill countless ghost soldiers, and then evacuate to the rear.
The devil officer roared angrily and ordered the devil soldiers to rush up the hills and mountains, occupy the commanding heights and cover the advance team evacuated in the rushing road, this fighter plane is definitely not to be missed, a victorious battle of annihilation.
Obviously, a condescending strafing fire, even if it cannot be annihilated, can inflict heavy damage on the advance team, this kind of fighter is fleeting, and the devil officer grasps it very well.
However, when the devil soldiers rushed up to the top of the hills and set up light and heavy machine guns, the receiving troops on the top of the two hills and mountains were in full firepower, and they were 200 meters apart.
This is a line of death, the devil soldiers fought bravely, the first wave of deaths and the second wave were filled, just to strafe the advance team in the evacuation rush, and the battle was in full swing.
The little devil won the victory with strong troops, used firepower to suppress the opponent's firepower, and then spread fire coverage on the hedge.
However, the little devil miscalculated again, and the retreating troops extended and withdrew in the east and west directions, avoiding the danger of fire coverage, and the devil soldiers did not even hit a single hair.
The advance team led the troops to maneuver with the little devils, and they were flexible and changeable, annihilating the enemy with the support of mortar fire, consuming the Japanese army at every level, and fighting for a long time.
The troops of the Nationalist Army in the north were not idle, focusing on three assaults, bombarding with the most intense artillery fire, suppressing light and heavy machine gun fire, assaulting with sharp soldiers, and encircling the east and west ends, so that the Japanese army was defeated and retreated one after another, and the solid defensive front fell for a time.
