"Let's do it."
Kong Yuanjie asked the adjutant to take out a map and spread it on the table, find the location of Qingcheng, then pointed at Qingcheng and said, "This little devil is quite a thief. Qingcheng is impregnable with the support of three divisions. If you want to fight, you can't." It’s a good fight!”
"Use your brain!"
Li Ming pointed to the map and said, "There are only three divisions of ours and the three divisions of the Little Devils in this area. The area is as high as a hundred miles. This doesn't mean we can fight as much as we want."
"Tell me what you think?"
"The Japanese are frightened now. Their three divisions have formed a triangle formation. What is the function of this formation? Isn't it to support each other? Then we will take advantage of this and hit him a little to see how they react."
"What if they don't move?"
"It would be better if we don't move. We will tear open the opening and go straight to Qingcheng. We will bombard the food inside. After bombing, we will leave. If they send troops to fight back, we will retreat after fighting. This winter is very long. As long as we destroy the food in Qingcheng within a month or two, his little devil will go hungry."
"This is a good idea."
Kong Yuanjie agreed and said, "I harass the little devil and beat him three or four times a day, just at one point. I don't believe that the little devil can still send troops to support him every time."
"That's it, each division of ours will choose a pass to fight and see how the little devil reacts. Whoever is the first to destroy Qingcheng will be treated to a drink."
"Hahaha, Lao Li, you are so narrow-minded!"
...
Three days later, the 32nd Infantry Division was stationed.
Li Ming stepped on the heavy snow and looked at the heavy snow in the sky. He was shivering from the cold. The colder the weather, the less people want to move. They thought so, and the little devil must have thought so too. In such a cold weather, , who wants to go out!
"Zhang Biao."
Li Ming looked at the burly man in front of him and said, "Your regiment can take action today. I will give you another artillery battalion directly under the division. All 36 105mm howitzers will be given to you. Be sure to give the little devils a way. Our division is going to launch the main attack." As long as the support from the Japs arrives, you will withdraw immediately. If the Japs don’t come to support, go straight to Qingcheng, bombard Qingcheng for me, and then evacuate."
"Yes, Commander."
Zhang Biao led a full infantry regiment of more than 3,000 people and a heavy artillery battalion and began to launch a raid towards the Jingkou Checkpoint of the Japanese Army. The Jingkou Checkpoint was the only way to Qingcheng, so as long as the Jingkou Checkpoint was captured, They can go straight to Qingcheng.
"How many Japs are there at the well entrance level?"
Zhang Biao asked the reconnaissance company commander.
"A regiment has more than three thousand Japanese soldiers. It doesn't have heavy firepower, but it has fortifications and gun towers."
"That's it, it's not enough to fill the gap between your teeth!"
Zhang Biao looked at the red-faced soldiers and shouted, "Brothers, speed up and go back after the fight. Our division commander will treat our group to eat mutton and drink mutton soup."
It took about four hours to walk. Because of the heavy snow, it was difficult to transport a lot of heavy equipment, so the walk was relatively slow, so it took a full four hours to reach the front line at the wellhead.
At this time, the little devil was hiding in the barracks he built to resist the cold. Because Jingkou Village was blown up by bombers, the little devil could only spend his energy to rebuild it to resist the severe cold.
Zhang Biao was inspecting the Japs' defensive position through the telescope. There were four gun towers in front, and in addition there were many bunkers, and the firepower was very densely distributed.
"Let the heavy artillery battalion attack."
Zhang Biao said to the deputy commander, "Kill the Japs' turrets and the place where they live. Shoot four rounds. Then the infantry will cover them with firepower. We will make the Japs think we are launching a general offensive."
"clear."
About a quarter of an hour later, the heavy artillery battalion selected the artillery position, and all thirty-six 105mm howitzers were in place. The soldiers' hands were frozen stiff, because touching the cannon on this cold day was like holding a piece of ice.
"fire!"
Following the order, thirty-six howitzers began to fire at full speed, and 36 shells hit the Japanese gun tower bunker hard, causing a huge explosion.
"Boom!"
The armor-piercing bullet directly blew open the turret built by the little Japanese. The little Japanese inside was warming himself by the fire, but his face was blackened by the sudden shell, and his body was penetrated by shrapnel.
"Enemy attack enemy attack!"
The Japanese infantry regiment began to assemble urgently and quickly entered combat status. However, as soon as they rushed out of the barracks, the cold weather outside made them shiver. The hands holding the guns trembled, and they could not aim at the enemy at all.
Immediately afterwards, the second round of shelling began, bombing the little Japanese's barracks and blowing up all the places where the little Japanese lived.
"idiot!"
When the Japanese saw that their kennel had been bombed, they were so angry that they quickly counterattacked with heavy machine guns, light machine guns, mortars and mountain artillery. At this time, Zhang Biao's infantry regiment also began to attack.
The powerful firepower made the little devils cry for their fathers and mothers, especially the cold weather, which made it even more difficult for them. They were freezing and bombing at the same time, which can be said to be a world of ice and fire.
"Brothers, hit me!"
Zhang Biao led the soldiers of the infantry regiment to suppress fire and pulled out the heavy firepower of the entire regiment. Thousands of bullets burst out, and with the support of artillery, the Japanese commander quickly requested rescue from the division headquarters.
In this battle, the two troops fought in the snow for more than half an hour, consuming more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition, but Zhang Biao did not launch a charge because he knew that the Japs' reinforcements were coming soon.
Looking at the time, he saw that 45 minutes had passed since the attack. He looked at the soldiers lying in the snow and shouted, "The first and second battalions will withdraw first, and the rest of the troops will retreat slowly."
At this time, the heavy artillery battalion began to retreat after firing the shells, so after Zhang Biao gave the retreat order, about a quarter of an hour later, the entire regiment evacuated, which made the Japanese commander have doubts.
According to the situation just now, they were at a disadvantage. They only fought for less than an hour and lost nearly a large group of soldiers. But why did the opponent retreat now!
Half an hour later, the Japanese reinforcements arrived. They were an infantry regiment and an artillery brigade. After they arrived, Zhang Biao's infantry regiment had long since disappeared.
In the next half month, Kong Yuanjie, Li Ming, and Ding Zhe's three infantry divisions would launch attacks every day. During this period, millions of Japanese bullets were consumed, which made their logistics difficult. question.
Because Toyo's domestic production base was destroyed, causing huge problems in the production of ammunition, Toyo was the first to supply the Pyongyang Front. This is why the Japanese in the Goryeo area were so quiet during this period and could only be beaten passively. .
