"Bagya Road, this bastard Taniguchi, a field squadron was beaten by a Chinese battalion and asked for tactical guidance, how could he say it out loud?
The Taniguchi family has been completely disgraced by him, why doesn't he die! "
Major Shinohara was in a very bad mood. He thought that a roundabout battle was going very smoothly, but it ended up like this. Now he is ready to make Captain Taniguchi commit seppuku. The second squadron leader, Komatsu Kanezo, is a good friend of Captain Taniguchi. Naturally, he wanted to help him out of trouble. He asked Major Shinohara for help:
"Your Excellency, Captain, I am willing to lead the Second Squadron to assist Mr. Taniguchi in wiping out all the Chinese people."
Major Shinohara's face was terrifyingly gloomy. Seeing Captain Komatsu requesting a fight, he nodded habitually, then shook his head and said:
"Of course I believe in Komatsu-kun's bravery, but if squadrons go into battle one by one like now, it may become a refueling tactic. We must move quickly in roundabout operations. If it becomes a war of attrition, it will be eliminated. Without the Chinese, it would be difficult for the imperial army to achieve its tactical objectives;
So I decided to press the entire brigade up, quickly defeat the defenders on the opposite side with a thunderous blow, and then circle back to the flank of the Luodian defenders to launch a fatal blow before the Chinese could react. "
The soldiers were very fast. After Shinohara made up his mind, he led the main force of the brigade to attack the positions of the first and second companies.
The Shinohara Brigade quickly arrived at the battlefield and took over the command. Captain Taniguchi briefly introduced the situation of the defenders to Major Shinohara. Of course, it is necessary to appropriately exaggerate the strength of the defenders, otherwise they will be beaten;
He was very relieved when he dumped Lieutenant Watanabe in the face, but he would not be happy if he was the one being dumped, so it is understandable to respond flexibly.
When Major Shinohara heard that there were more than 600 defenders, most of them had been wiped out by them, and there were less than 300 people left on the two flanks at most, his face looked much better, and he immediately avoided the slap.
"Taniguchi-kun, your judgment is correct. According to the situation, there is a main Chinese battalion stationed nearby. It is part of the 88th Division, with five to six hundred people. Now it seems that it is them;
, Yosi, with a battalion of troops, carried a field squadron of the Imperial Army, and caused nearly a hundred casualties to the Imperial Army, while he only suffered more than 300 casualties. The exchange ratio was one to three, and only the Chinese The elite German weapon masters can fight it.
It seems that my decision is right. I must not use fueling tactics against them anymore, I must give them a heavy blow!
Gentlemen, prepare for battle quickly, launch a general attack after fifteen minutes, and eliminate this difficult Chinese army in one fell swoop! "
After figuring out the strength of the defenders, Major Shinohara lost interest in them. There were only less than 300 remaining soldiers, and they were an entire brigade. The two sides were not at the same level of strength. They could spend fifteen minutes fighting each other. Preparation before the war, this is already very impressive to them.
In the garrison position, the arrival of the large group of Japanese soldiers cannot be concealed from Chen Wu and others.
"Old Chen, they had no intention of hiding it from us at all. They were just brazenly preparing for the attack without paying attention to our two companies. In other words, they were bullying me for not having artillery. Otherwise, a single artillery fire would cover all these bastards. Send it to the sea."
Captain Qi Hua, the supplementary second company commander, said very unhappily that after the Japanese army arrived, the two company commanders got together to discuss strategies to deal with the enemy.
In the previous battle, the second company's position was not in the main direction of attack, but only a Japanese squad, and it was a feint attack, so the casualties were not large;
The positions of the two companies are separated by a road, forming a U-shaped valley about 100 to 300 meters wide, allowing them to respond and support each other.
Chen Wu smiled and said:
"We don't have artillery, but the battalion commander does. Someone will take care of them. Looking at this battle, I'm thinking that the Japanese attack may be all-out in the next round. There is no need for us to resist. Let's act according to the plan.
Lao Qi, you have to tell your brothers well and do all the tricks. When you are defeated, you will be in a state of embarrassment. Just throw away what you need to throw away. Don't be reluctant to leave it. Are you afraid that you will not have any equipment after you have eliminated these bastards? "
The two men discussed the details of the defeat together again, and Qi Hua returned to the Second Company position. The Japanese seemed to be well prepared, and there was not much time left for them.
Soon after Qi Hua returned to the second company, the Japanese attack began...
It’s still a familiar formula and a familiar taste, first the artillery bombardment, then the infantry charge. The only difference is that the Japs’ artillery fire preparation time is not long. The Japs’ infantry almost steps on the artillery points to charge. The Japs are really generous and one-time. More than 600 people were invested, almost all the soldiers of Shinohara's battalion.
The Japanese's generosity indeed had the expected effect. The defenders only defended for a few minutes before being completely defeated. They ran away one by one. Guns and ammunition were scattered everywhere. Even the iconic M35 helmet was missing, let alone It's about face, this is the familiar flavor in their impression, and suddenly encountering a particularly good one makes them very uncomfortable.
"Yo Xi, this is the brave 11th Division, give it to you!"
Seeing that the Chinese people had been defeated and the main force of the brigade was chasing after them, Major Shinohara pretended to be intimidating and then jumped into the command vehicle and set off with the brigade in a grand manner...
At the independent battalion headquarters, Luo Ying was using a telescope to appreciate the performances of the 1st and 2nd companies, and couldn't help but laugh and curse:
"He can win a fucking Oscar, but the traces of this performance are too obvious. Look at that brother, he is running and looking back, and he deliberately stops when he is running fast. This is like running for his life."
It's a pity that several company commanders are going to make dumplings, and there is no one to cooperate with him. He can only make fun of himself in boredom. The battle has been deployed. The specific method of fighting is the business of the company commander below. He, the company commander, can He really didn't do much, and now he began to miss the comfort of being the company commander when charging.
Originally, he wanted to direct the dumpling making in person, but unfortunately, he was collectively rejected by several other company commanders. He said that it was not his turn as the battalion commander to run errands, so don't cause trouble to them——
When he thought of this, he cursed unbalancedly:
"Damn it, what does it mean to cause trouble? When did I become a troublemaker!"
The independent battalion ambush position, the pocket formation has been set up, the terrain they chose is the road on the flank of Liujiapo, the machine gun company (under the flying thunder artillery platoon) takes the bottom, the first company and the flying thunder artillery platoon ambush on Liujiapo's main formation, the second company The company lay in ambush opposite Liujiapo's main position, and the third company and the baggage company ambush in the outer positions. After the Japanese all entered the pocket formation, they were responsible for tying the pockets;
In other words, the position of the supplementary company was regained. During the retreat, the first and second supplementary companies split into two groups. The first supplementary company continued to drill into the center of the pocket, while the second supplementary company ran towards the flank where the main second company was ambushing. Their The mission was to assist the main force, the Second Company, in guarding the flanks. It would be best if they could lure a group of Japanese soldiers to the Second Company's ambush position.
During the pursuit, the main force of the Japanese did not care about the second supplementary company that fled to the flank, but kept chasing the first supplementary company, because their mission was not to capture the defeated troops, but to defeat the enemy from the front, and then along the road Heading south, they quickly detoured back to the flanks of the Luodian defenders. They looked down upon these defeated soldiers at all.
Liujiapo, a continuous ambush position, six flying thunder cannons lined up in a fan shape have been buried, leaving only thirty or forty centimeters of muzzle, which is camouflaged by vegetation, and cannot be discovered unless you get closer;
The muzzle, which was thicker than a bucket, was pointing diagonally at the sky. The explosive packs were already installed, and they were waiting for Li Shuo to give the order. This was a great gift prepared by the independent battalion for the devils, and it was also the reason why Luo Ying dared to ambush thousands of people with one battalion. Where the devil's confidence lies.
Of course, he didn't think about wiping out this group of Japs. He just wanted to use the most violent attack to cripple them, and then let them understand that there are great risks in small groups of troops fighting in roundabouts, so as to prevent them from carrying out roundabout sneak attacks when they have nothing to do.
Sometimes a squadron dares to penetrate deep into the Kuomintang army, but they still let them succeed. This is what Luo Ying is most unhappy about. This time he just wants to set rules for the Japanese...
"Captain Li, the Japanese are chasing the brothers from the supplementary company. Do you want to fight?"
The artillery platoon leader excitedly asked Li Shuo for instructions.
Li Shuo shook his head and said:
"Don't be anxious, let them go first, we will be responsible for the tail shooting, and let the brothers in the machine gun company start fighting first. The best time for us to fire is when the Japanese are blocked and stop."
Since the Japanese's pursuit line is relatively long and the troops are not concentrated, if the use of thunder cannons at this time does not have the best effect, under Luo Ying's words and deeds, Li Shuo now has experience in ambushing.
Groups of Japanese soldiers passed by them. Like a group of hunters, Li Shuo and others put groups of tempting prey into the pocket array until intensive gunshots rang out from the bottom of the pocket. This was a battery of six machine guns. The cheerful sound of the Maxim heavy machine gun is enough for a Japanese to drink a pot...
"Bagheya Road, enemy attack! The Japanese pursuers who were suddenly blocked by machine gun positions suffered heavy losses, and the troops became confused;
The forward squadron was suppressed to the ground. The main force in the middle did not know what had happened, so they stopped one after another and organized defense on the spot.
It has to be said that Major Shinohara is a commander with very high tactical literacy. When he heard the intensive gunfire, he did not lead the rear army to support the front army. Instead, he immediately thought of seizing the commanding heights of Liujiapo and related with Pingxing. Seizing the Laoye Temple when he was ambushed had the same effect but it was a pity that it was Luo Ying who ambushed him this time. He had already made complete arrangements in Liujiapo.
Li Shuo did not pay attention to the Japanese rear army. His company was waiting for them on the Liujiapo position.
Seeing that the main force of the Japanese had stopped and the troops huddled together, the time was ripe for an attack. He ordered loudly:
"fire!"
The artillery platoon, which had been impatient for a long time, ignited fire at the same time. After hearing the sound of "dong dong dong", 6 explosive packets were thrown away, roaring and hitting the Japanese...
“Bagya Road, what is that?
Stone?
Cannonball? "
