Veterans of standing divisions, apart from the 10th Division, which other unit is a standing division?
In other words, in this pursuit, Colonel Akashiba Yaezo has already dispatched the elite team of their 10th Regiment.
It's not that Akashiba Yaezo thinks he has too many troops or something, but because the troops of the 108th Division and the 114th Division are originally composed of the reserve forces of the 8th Division and the 14th Division. , so there must be some flaws in combat effectiveness.
Akashiba Yaezo was not afraid of the loss of his troops. What he was afraid of was that after losing his troops, the expected strategic goals would not be achieved, so the two squads he dispatched were both elite squads under the 10th Regiment.
At this time, the artillery fire of the artillery regiment had stopped, and fifty or sixty Japanese troops were moving forward rapidly under the leadership of the squad leader.
Finally, after advancing nearly seventy meters, the Japanese team leader finally felt something was wrong. He waved to his subordinates, signaling them to slow down their advance.
"Be careful, I always feel something is wrong here." The Japanese captain said with a serious face.
These Japanese soldiers were hunched over, holding their loaded 38 caps, and were looking around with vigilant eyes.
However, sometimes people are not as good as God. Before the Japanese squad leader could find the Chinese army, a 6.5 mm bullet burst through the night and directly penetrated his head. The body collapsed.
Before the soldiers behind the Japanese officer could react, bullets from twelve light machine guns plus twenty-four small artillery shells from grenades overran them.
The bullets were fired like rain. Although these were veterans and they responded quickly as soon as the gunshots sounded, they were still unable to dodge. The point is that in addition to the machine gun bullets, there was also the intensive smashing. The latter is the most lethal of the small shells!
Since the veterans of the Japanese army did respond quickly, the first wave of machine gun fire and rifle fire only knocked down one-third of the Japanese army, which amounted to about twenty people.
More than twenty people fell in the first wave of shooting. This sounds like a very good result. Yes, don't forget that twelve light machine guns have great power when fired at the same time, not to mention Nearly a hundred rifles were fired simultaneously.
Unfortunately, these veterans of the Japanese standing divisions, after they happened to escape this hail of bullets, did not escape this hail of bullets consisting of small grenade shells.
Dense explosions exploded in the area where the veterans of the Japanese squad were lying. It was impossible for anyone to survive at this scale.
This attack, which consisted of a dense rain of bullets and a dense series of explosions, was very shocking when viewed through Colonel Akashiba Yaezo's telescope.
Colonel Akashiba Yaezo put down his telescope, his hands still trembling slightly. He didn't know whether he was frightened by this mysterious enemy force or because he was angry.
"Quick, quick, quick! Call the division commander immediately and tell him that we need a lot of artillery fire support here. What we encountered is a very well-equipped Chinese army, and their number is unknown!" Akashiba Yaezo's tone was already a little hasty.
It is true that their bushido spirit advocates force, but since entering the Chinese battlefield, the sense of powerlessness that he has never had before has made Colonel Akashiba Yaezo a little confused.
To put it bluntly, I was beaten to the point where I doubted my life.
Look, since the Japanese invaded China, they have won consecutive battles and victories. However, since entering the Xuzhou battlefield, whether it is the fifth division known as the "Steel Army" or the third division known as the "Young Zhuang Faction Base Camp" The Tenth Division had all suffered a defeat that seemed like a Waterloo. Confidence in battle was not something that could be cultivated overnight. He needed a large number of victories to accumulate.
It's okay to say that the Fifth Division has won many battles before, especially the Battle of Xinkou, and how glorious it was. But what about their 10th Division? It seems that since entering the Chinese battlefield, there has been nothing to be proud of, right?
The military defeat in Taierzhuang has made these middle- and lower-level officers of the Japanese army begin to pay attention to their enemy, the national army.
The powerful combat power displayed by the special agent company made Colonel Akashiba Yaezo mistakenly believe that this was just one of the Chinese troops approaching the Japanese position, and nothing more.
Therefore, Akashiba Yaezo must ask the division and regiment headquarters to give them a certain amount of artillery support, so that they can launch a large-scale counterattack against the national army at any time!
Yes, it was a massive counterattack.
How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
What's more, this mysterious Chinese army also has such a powerful firepower configuration. Unless their strength is understood or they are defeated, these Japanese troops will suffer heavy losses!
What Akashiba Yaezo never expected was that the Chinese army opposite them only had one reinforced company.
It’s no wonder that Akashiba Yaezo mistakenly thought it would be a powerful force. After all, no one has ever paid so much attention to the dynamic configuration of company-level combat units. They were so crazy that they placed twenty-four grenades in a reinforced company. cylinder!
Perhaps the firing of twelve light machine guns would make them think that this was a night attack force consisting of two or three companies harassing them. These twenty-four grenades were what made Chichai The real reason for Colonel Yaezou’s misjudgment!
After firing two rounds of grenade volleys, Zhang Tianhai took the people and ran away without even looking back. If he didn't run, he would really be unable to escape.
Zhang Tianhai still knew clearly that taking advantage should be done in a certain way.
Sure enough, less than five minutes after Zhang Tianhai and his special agent company left the area where they had just launched an attack on the Japanese army, the Japanese army's intensive artillery fire bombed that area very intensively. The intensity could be called coverage. Style artillery fire.
Zhang Tianhai, who had just returned to the regiment headquarters, looked at this scene and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Damn it, luckily I can run fast! If I continue to fight for a while, I'm afraid I will lose my life.
This burst of artillery bombardment not only alarmed the entire Zhiyi Regiment, but also alarmed the headquarters of Sun Lianzhong's Second Group Army.
"I just heard that the intensity of the battle wasn't too intense. This kid just bombarded this group of positions with such dense artillery fire. It seems like this kid has provoked an ant's nest, right?" Sun Lianzhong murmured to himself road.
"Boss, you can rest assured on this. I have ordered the troops to pay close attention to the positions directly under the first regiment in the third theater. If the Japanese army really launches a fierce attack with all their strength in the position there, but their regiment cannot withstand it. If the Japanese army comes under pressure, our 30th Army can send additional reinforcements to support them at any time." Tian Zhennan assured very seriously.
"I'm not worried about this. Since Zhang Tianhai dares to poke holes in the ant's nest, he must have a way to deal with it. There should be no problem in withstanding the two waves of Japanese attacks. The key is to think about it, what if the Japanese army really We have launched an all-out attack, can our Second Group Army get some benefits from it?" Sun Lianzhong said very seriously. The benefits he said were not to take advantage of friendly forces, but to find them on the Japanese army.
There are many ways to benefit from this. For example, while the main force of the Japanese army is attacking the first regiment directly under the third theater, sneak attack on the back of the Japanese army or launch a fierce attack to attack the south gate of Yixian County!
Tian Zhennan nodded and said: "Boss, I understand what you mean. Now everything is waiting for news from the first regiment directly under the third theater."
"Okay, let's do that." Sun Lianzhong nodded.
While the battle clouds were gathering in the urban area of Yixian County, and a war was ready to begin at any time, the battle on Jiuding Mountain had already entered a fever pitch.
The Second Division is worthy of being the main force of Tang Enbo's army. The outstanding soldiers selected from them are worthy of being outstanding soldiers. In the first wave of attacks, they had already reached the mountainside and then fought with the Japanese defenders. A fierce battle started!
There are not many Japanese defenders on Jiuding Mountain. In addition to some artillery, they are part of the infantry. The infantry relies on the terrain, making it impossible for the Chinese army to get close to Jiuding Mountain during the day. However, It's different at night.
At night, they couldn't take advantage of their terrain. They couldn't even see, let alone shoot. More importantly, the Japanese artillery troops in Yixian City were attacking Zhang Tianhai's Third War Zone Directly Affiliated Division. The position in one direction was bombarded with great joy, let alone the artillery fired at the Jiudingshan troops who were in the melee here.
What if Jiuding Mountain is captured by the National Army and cannon fire? But what if it is not captured by the National Army? Isn’t that one of our own who killed the Japanese?
So these Japanese devils are not that stupid or stupid at all!
In short, Tang Enbo's army's current goal in this battle is Jiuding Mountain!
