The battle is always the same, you attack and I defend. Duanwu doesn't like this kind of fighting method. Because such a battle has only one result, which is to consume a lot of materials and personnel.
For example, the famous Battle of Verdun and the Defense of the Soviet Union were all such wars. The death and injury of more than one million people sounds chilling.
Therefore, if it is this kind of battle, whether there is a commander or not does not matter at all.
Fighting requires skills, avoiding the most important and choosing the easy, and creative thinking.
For example, in the Battle of Yushan, Duanwu was considered a complete victory after annihilating the Chongteng detachment. Even if he retreated or all the defenders on Yushan died, Duanwu would still have outstanding military exploits.
But Duanwu did not do this. Instead, he was looking for new fighters so that more Chinese soldiers could survive this battle.
Brook's emergency landing inspired the Dragon Boat Festival. In this forest, it distracted the attention of the Japanese army, dispersed the Japanese army's strength, and reduced the pressure on the frontal battlefield.
But this is just the beginning, because the Dragon Boat Festival's tactics have always been to continuously kill the enemy until it captures the enemy's seven inches.
At this time, you can recall what we did just before the Dragon Boat Festival!
When he was on the phone with Commander Liao, he realized that the 48th Army had mixed in with enemy spies. Then not only did he find the bug hidden in the phone, but he also issued an order.
Logically speaking, when the Japanese army blocked the reinforcements heading to Yushan, they should have ordered the entire line to break through the Japanese blockade.
However, Duanwu issued an opposite order at this time, that is, the first goal was to annihilate the Japanese blocking troops.
Because the Japanese army rushed to block the attack, the number of people must not be large, and there was no time to build fortifications.
Under these preconditions, it is very easy to encircle and annihilate small groups of Japanese troops, or to inflict heavy losses on Japanese troops.
Although the Japanese army has strong combat capabilities and fierce firepower. But lack of time to build fortifications and insufficient troops will be their biggest weaknesses.
Moreover, although the Dragon Boat Festival was only a small change in the order, it completely ruined the little devil's plan to encircle and rescue the enemy.
The 31st Brigade of the 11th Division was blocked in the Jiashan area. A Japanese brigade occupied a hilltop only twenty meters high.
They fought in a hurry and did not dig fortifications. The soldiers were lying on the mountain fighting the 31st Brigade. And they only carry small arms. The Japanese don't even have mortars, let alone mountain artillery. All they carry are grenades.
So this shows how hastily the little devil arrived.
But even so, the 31st Brigade actually suffered a loss when it first encountered the Japanese army.
The Japanese army suddenly appeared and fired with light and heavy machine guns. The forward troops of the 31st Brigade suffered dozens of casualties.
Moreover, the sudden appearance of Japanese troops also made Brigadier Wang of the 31st Brigade a little confused. Because no one expected that a sure-win encirclement and annihilation battle would turn into a trap set by the little devil for himself. He even doubted whether the special commissioner had defected to the enemy.
Of course, he preferred to believe that this was just an encounter with a small group of enemies.
He ordered a regiment to annihilate the enemy and clear the way for the larger army.
But I didn't expect to find out after this fight that the Japanese army actually had a large group and was refusing to retreat.
And his regiment suffered heavy losses as a result.
Because they were eager to break through, the Japanese army occupied a favorable position. After several charges, half the battalion of the regiment was gone.
Brigadier Wang was anxious and didn't know what to do. At this moment, he received a call from Commander Liao: The intelligence was leaked and he was ordered to change his strategy to annihilate and block the Japanese army on the spot. Slowly reinforce Yushan.
Brigadier Wang understood immediately upon hearing this that there must be a change in the tactics of leaking information. He mobilized heavy artillery and bombarded the Japanese positions indiscriminately.
The 31st Brigade still has some assets. It has an artillery battalion. But he didn't bring the large-caliber mountain cannon. He brought a mortar, a German-style 80mm caliber mortar. This thing is more useful than the grenade barrel of the little devil.
If there is no bunker or a simple bunker, as long as the kid is within 15 meters of the explosion, there is a risk of being killed or injured.
And the little devil finally realized the aggrieved feeling of Chinese soldiers in the past. If you don't have artillery, or if your firepower is weaker than the opponent's, you can only be beaten passively!
Seeing his soldiers being killed one by one, Captain Watanabe had no choice but to smash his teeth and swallow blood. I hope that the battle in Yushan will go smoothly.
But maybe he couldn't wait any longer. Brigadier Wang actually bombarded the Japs with heavy artillery for thirty minutes, killing at least two hundred Japs.
And the three regiments formed an encirclement, forcing the little Japanese to retreat.
The Watanabe brigade suffered more than half casualties, and retreat was a last resort. But what they received was a death order. During the retreat, we found a new commanding height and fought to the bitter end with 31.
The 31st Brigade was once again blocked, but it already had experience, and thanks to Commander Liao's orders, Brigadier Wang was no longer in a hurry and ordered the artillery to continue firing to see how long these little devils could hold on.
At the same time, other reinforcements were similar. The 34th Independent Brigade and the 32nd Division also encountered Japanese resistance. Moreover, the 32nd Division, in particular, encountered two Japanese infantry brigades head-on. The two sides fought in the plain area, and the battle became even more fierce.
There is no cover at all in the plain area, and everyone is shooting at each other almost on the same ground level.
However, the Japanese army did not have an advantage in strength, and due to the rush of time, they did not carry many heavy weapons. It was simply not possible to fight for a long time.
Therefore, the Japanese military headquarters is in a state of disarray. Telegrams for help were everywhere.
Originally, air support could solve the urgent need. But just now a Japanese flying wing was completely wiped out. Deploying bomber reinforcements will take time.
Matsui Iwane was so angry that he almost lost all his hair in the office.
Thirty-two planes, an entire flying wing, were completely wiped out in the Battle of Yushan.
He even felt that the air force maintained by the empire at a high price was like a litter of pigs. It couldn't even defeat two Chinese fighter jets, so you might as well commit seppuku.
So he has no planes to send, because the entire Wu-Fu line is at war. How can he have so many planes to bomb? Moreover, most of the bombs dropped by planes have to be transported from the mainland.
This all takes time.
Therefore, he could only urge the Botian detachment to capture Yushan quickly, and at all costs.
The old devil Bo Tianzhong frowned after receiving the order, ordering him to take Yushan within two hours. Isn't this a joke? It would be useless even if he sent everyone up.
The terrain of Yushan is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and they also encountered tough opponents like the Independent Regiment and the 174th Division.
Of course, the most annoying thing is that there is no shortage of ammunition on the Yushan position.
Because just imagine, most of the weapons of the entire Chongteng detachment have been seized. Is there any shortage of ammunition on Yushan Mountain?
His men rushed forward several times but were blown back by their own grenades.
That kind of fragmentation grenade is very powerful. If the power of the explosion is not calculated, it is not much different from a mortar shell. The shrapnel produced after the explosion is simply fatal to the infantry.
But the most annoying thing is that these grenades are produced in their own country.
Namada Chuichi was ready to curse. After he finished scolding the Chinese soldiers for not practicing martial ethics and only knowing how to hide in the trenches and throwing grenades, he scolded Shigeto Chiaki for being a stupid pig. He didn't say anything about his own death and left such a thing for himself. A mess.
At this time, the enemy has enough ammunition. What should he do?
Namada Chuichi was scratching his head, but he didn't want misfortunes to come singly. At this moment, a disgraced little devil ran back and told him that Jichang's team had been wiped out, and he was the only one who escaped.
"Baga, are you all useless? Why can't you do anything well?"
Bo Tianzhong was furious, and the commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, Zhongye Shaofu, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Sir, I guess there is only a small enemy force in the forest, and there is nothing to worry about."
Namada Chuichi said with a gloomy face: "You don't know, the Chongteng detachment lost the entire artillery regiment because of a sneak attack by a small group of Chinese troops. So no matter how many people there are on the other side, they must be eliminated. And put them down Bring that pilot back to me.
Mr. Matsui just called and specified that he wanted the pilot.
So Mr. Zhongye, you have to personally lead your third brigade to annihilate this small group of enemies and bring back the pilot, even if it is a corpse, do you understand? "
"Hi! I will end the battle within half an hour and bring back the Chinese pilot, please don't worry."
The young man from MCC bowed and saluted, then took arrogant steps and left with his third group, heading straight into the dense forest on the left side of the camp to search for Chinese soldiers.
At the same time, Namada Chuichi will naturally not be idle. Although he has sent three brigades of troops, there is still no progress at all. So he ordered the First Infantry Brigade of the Second Infantry Regiment to launch the third battlefield in front of Yushan. And ordered the artillery to carry out fierce shelling on the main position of Yushan.
The Japanese army lost two of its 150mm caliber howitzers in many battles with Chinese artillery, but two of them are still intact.
Coupled with the three 100mm cannons that were still usable, they continuously bombarded the main position of Yushan, blasting a gap in the trench in the middle of the main position.
Under the guidance of Duanwu, Yushan's main position was impregnable. Not only were the trenches two and a half meters deep, but even the floating soil on the front slope was five or six meters thick.
But even so, a gap was opened in the middle of the position by the Japs' heavy artillery.
Zhong Jiushan ordered the soldiers to restore the trenches as soon as possible. But the trench was only half dug, and the First Infantry Brigade of the Little Japanese's Second Infantry Regiment had already come up.
Two squadrons of the 1st Infantry Battalion charged towards the main position under the cover of artillery fire. They took off their shirts one by one and tied a white torn belt around their heads. While shouting "Long live the Emperor," they quickly charged towards the top of the mountain.
Zhong Jiushan frowned when he saw this and thought to himself: Is this little devil going to fight for his life?
Thinking of this, he quickly ordered the guard on the side: "Contact the special commissioner immediately and tell him that the situation has changed. The Japanese army is attacking our Yushan position like crazy. It seems that they have received a death order!..."
