"The time for the general attack is confirmed to be 12 o'clock at midnight. If the commando team cannot handle it, then the artillery will launch the attack! Hammer, do you know this?"
"Commander, I understand. Before 12 midnight, the assault is guaranteed to complete the task of seizing the enemy's artillery position!" Song Tiecheng was dressed in camouflage and looked a bit erratic at night.
However, the commandos have been fighting with Gao Jianwu for so long, so they have nothing to worry about now.
Gao Jianwu believed that no one team in the Eighth Route Army could complete the task that none of them could complete.
In this battle, the main attack group all chose to move away from the base. It was particularly useful to seize enemy weapons and ammunition to arm themselves. However, considering that Gao Jianwu now has to command an assault group, including militants like Li Yunlong, before this battle, he clearly ordered the commanders above the regiment to Members are prohibited from fighting on the front lines.
Because this time they will not just fight one battle, but may continue to fight outside for several months! If there is no strong front-line command, it will be difficult to inflict serious damage on the little devil!
In the face of a formidable enemy, Li Yunlong put away his beloved sword in dismay and accepted the guard company equipped with Type 43 assault rifles. Not only him, but every commando group commander was treated like this.
The guard company is not only a personal guard, but also the strongest knife in the attack group!
...
In Mianshan Fortress, artillery captain Honma Shinichizuo inspected the positions as usual at eight o'clock in the evening.
Whether it was the guards at the position's gun emplacements or the hidden sentries on the outside of the position near the cliff, Shinichi Honma carefully checked to make sure nothing was missing.
The entire Mianshan Fortress is built on two mountains. The main bunkers and bunkers are at the foot of the mountain and the mountainside. The relatively flat area on the top of the mountain is divided into rows of military camps. Although it is not high, that is, three to four hundred meters, the terrain is steep, with three sides. On one side of the cliff is a gently sloping mountain road facing railways and highways. Most of the bunkers and bunkers are built on this gentle slope.
The artillery position is on the top of the mountain on the left. It is commanding and overlooks several miles. Since it is a permanent position, the artillery position is also protected by protective fortifications, so it cannot be easily destroyed by artillery fire.
In addition to the four 75mm mountain guns and four field guns of a squadron, there are two 105mm howitzers on the artillery position. These two big guys are the big killers. With this artillery position, Mianshan Fortress has only one brigade. We were on the defensive, but the Chinese army sent out two divisions, but they couldn't take advantage of this iron bastard.
To be honest, Gao Jianwu had a headache when he saw this kind of defense.
However, even if he couldn't defeat him, Gao Jianwu still wanted to take a bite of him.
...
In the past, fighting this kind of night battle would have given Gao Jianwu and Xing Zhiguo a headache just from coordination. However, with the walkie-talkies tonight, the two attack groups on both sides will each focus on one direction, and they will be able to command freely whether they attack or retreat.
Xing Zhiguo led his men to approach the enemy about 500 meters away and lurked.
Originally, he set up his headquarters on a hill about 3 miles away, which was the only hill close to the enemy on the right. However, when he used a telescope to carefully observe the enemy's movements, he could see nothing but faint lights in the distance.
Therefore, Xing Zhiguo directly approached the enemy with his walkie-talkie correspondents and staff.
"Captain Xing, are we too close to the enemy here?" Staff officer Chen Xiang asked with some worry, "The headquarters has orders to ensure the safety of the chief officer."
"Send it to me! The enemy can't even see it, so why fight?" , we can’t fight a bad war, we must control the casualties, I’m not going to give the command at the front line!”
The Dagushan battle experience first covered the independent regiment. Even Li Yunlong was convinced of Dagushan's low-casualty and high-result style of fighting, let alone Xing Zhiguo.
Therefore, even if Gao Jianwu rose too fast, Xing Zhiguo was not jealous at all, but implemented Dagushan's things thoroughly.
"There are five bunkers that can be seen at the foot of the mountain. They can block the attack route with machine gun fire. This place cannot be attacked by force." A capable team, get up from the back mountain!"
"Let the guards connect!" Xing Zhiguo almost didn't think about it for long before sending out the strongest sharp knife he had.
Gao Jianwu was guarding the artillery position 2 kilometers away. As a transparent map hanger, Gao Jianwu's artillery did not need to observe directly. They could use the map's detailed coordinates to target and strike according to the artillery table.
Of course, observers are still needed. Someone has to evaluate the effect of the bombardment. The two battle groups are equipped with 32 80mm mortars. If the bombardment is carried out, the tops of the two mountains will be completely turned over.
It's just that in this battle, Gao Jianwu's option for shelling was the second option.
Only when the assault team's progress is not smooth, or the attack is blocked by the enemy's cluster targets, will the attack group artillery provide long-range fire support.
After all, the supply of artillery shells is a troublesome matter.
...
In comparison, Shen Quan's attack was much simpler and cruder. The little Japanese and the second Japanese who had just recovered in Wanjia Town hardly struggled, and the bunker collapsed.
Almost all the little Japs died in the bunker, while the second Japs chose to surrender as always.
Suddenly, they became a group of railway guerrillas who bravely attacked the railway tracks.
Section after section of railway track was carried away and hidden in the mountains two or three miles away.
There is no time to pick up the loot now, but after the battle is won, everyone will have plenty of time to pick it up. Shen Quan followed the railway and wiped out the strongholds that were more than ten miles away.
We didn't stop until we were almost at the county seat.
With such a huge movement, the little devils from the county military police brigade did not move at all.
After countless calls for instructions, the order I got was to protect the county seat!
The Eighth Route Army has recently used a lot of tactics to attack the east and attack the west, and the Little Devils have also suffered several losses. Now that the army is attacking, the county town, which is an important node, cannot afford to lose, so the top leaders of the Little Devils choose to be patient.
This made Gao Jianwu's plan to mobilize enemies and encircle the points for reinforcements initially bankrupt.
...
Fortunately, the battle at Mianshan Fortress went smoothly. Both commandos successfully reached the top and launched their attack from the top.
Song Tiecheng and the others moved faster and directly captured the artillery position. The resistance of nearly two hundred Japanese artillerymen was just an entertainment for the commandos. The combination of the 38 cover and the crooked handle faced the Type 43 assault rifle. It was a complete one-sided massacre!
The success of Song Tiecheng and the others made the top-down offensive very smooth. After turning the muzzle and bombing the mountainside and foot of the opposite mountain, Xing Zhiguo's guard company also successfully fought from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain!
After taking down one enemy, Song Tiecheng and the others pushed the 75mm mountain cannon from the top of the mountain to the bottom. After more than 3 hours, the second battle group and the third battle group completely destroyed the Mianshan Fortress!
The bulky field guns and 105 howitzers among the captured artillery were moved to the mountains and hidden, leaving four 75mm Type 41 mountain guns dismantled and carried on their backs, and began to destroy railway-side strongholds along the way.
The Ping An attack group took the initiative to start the battle for the railway!
Almost at the same time, several main regiments under the 386th Brigade also mobilized and began to carry out crazy attacks and destruction on road and railway strongholds on the outside. In one night, they attacked nearly a hundred small Japanese strongholds and destroyed ten. Multiple bridges and stations.
Yoshio Shinozuka of Jin suddenly felt like the last Eighth Route Counterattack, but this time was even worse than last time in that the losses in strongholds were greater. Several strongholds could be lost on dozens of kilometers of traffic lines in a day and night.
The main force of the new Eighth Route Army has artillery attack capabilities, and its ability to attack strongholds is several times greater than before.
In this way, although a stronghold may only lose one detachment, and the maximum is no more than a small squadron, but the small amount adds up to the greater, after a day and night, plus the loss of Mianshan Fortress, Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly found that he had lost more than two squadrons!
The raid had not yet started, but he was counter-swept first!
This is simply unreasonable!
