- Chapter 214 Battle against Jinzhou
Jinzhou City has always been an important place for military strategists. Its geographical location is very important. It leads to the Bohai Bay and leads to the north and south. It is the only transportation artery from inside the pass to outside the pass. Gaining Jinzhou is tantamount to opening the door to the inside of the pass. It is also an opportunity for the Japanese to attack North China and the outside world. The forward bases in the Central Plains region are classified according to the defense level of the Kwantung Army. Jinzhou is a Class A area.
It turned out that a division of the Eastern Army was stationed with more than 20,000 troops. After receiving an order from the Kwantung Army headquarters, the Japanese division headquarters led two regiments of troops to go north to complete the strategy of encircling the second blockade of the Bloody Hands. Mission, there is only one Japanese regiment left in Jinzhou City, with about 4,000 troops, in addition to a tank brigade and a field artillery brigade.
In addition, there is a division of puppet Manchukuo troops with a strength of 12,000. Taken together, the Japanese and puppet garrison strength in Jinzhou City is less than 20,000, which compares with our army's strength by nearly three to one. The firepower The comparison is five to one.
In the deployment of siege operations, Tang Qiuli adopted a four-sided attack. The main attack force was deployed everywhere, which was likely to weaken the enemy's defensive force. Taking the Japanese army as an example, the number of troops dispersed to various defense directions was only more than a thousand. Man, as for the combat effectiveness of the Manchurian soldiers, they can be ignored. When the time comes, they will be well-trained if they don't run away when the guns are fired.
In each offensive direction, two brigades with more than 5,000 troops were arranged. Su Jingfeng's second detachment and Yuan Jinghao's fourth detachment were responsible for siege. The artillery detachment was concentrated in the northern main attack direction, forming an absolute firepower advantage.
When the troops of the Blood Hand Regiment approached the outskirts of Jinzhou, the Japanese commander in Jinzhou City, Kiichi Nakazawa, was already panicking. He believed in his commanding skills and his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan. I believe in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire. However, the tenacious fighting will cannot offset the absolutely weak strength and firepower. Nakazawa Kiichi knows very well that the final outcome waiting for him and his soldiers will be that they will all be shattered.
Nakazawa Kiichi was transferred from the local garrison in the East Manchuria area to the Jinzhou Garrison Division at the beginning of this year. In the East Manchuria area, the troops he commanded often fought against the troops of the Bloody Hand Regiment. For the battle of this Chinese army He has deep experience in will, combat methods, strategies and tactics. His garrison has recruited recruits no less than ten times. If calculated based on the number of previous casualties, it has far exceeded the establishment of an ordinary regiment.
Every battle was a nightmare that he could not erase. The only consolation for him was that despite repeated losses, his troops had not ended up being completely annihilated like the fate of other colleagues.
After being transferred to Jinzhou, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that he had finally escaped from the land in Dongman that frightened him and arrived in a safe area.
Unexpectedly, less than half a year after arriving, the devil-like Blood Hand Regiment actually appeared at the gate of Jinzhou City. Moreover, when the defensive forces were at their lowest, the first thing Zhongze did was to send an emergency message to the Kwantung Army Headquarters. The telegram for help stated that Jinzhou was attacked by about 80,000 people from the main force of the Blood Hand Regiment and was in danger. This number was a full 30,000 more than the Blood Hand Regiment's troops.
Standing on the city gate tower, Nakazawa Kiichi saw in the telescope that the troops of the Blood Hand Regiment were mobilizing on a large scale towards the south gate, including many artillery pieces. He concluded that the main attack direction of the Blood Hand Regiment troops was In the south gate area.
He immediately concentrated the main force on the south gate, and also ordered the Manchurian Imperial Division to mobilize two regiments of troops to assist the imperial army in defending the south gate. As for the entire defense of Jinzhou, the south gate was flat and undefendable, and was most vulnerable to attack. Attack, if it were him, he would also choose here as the main direction of attack.
The Japs' mobilization situation was immediately reported to the headquarters by the special operations unit that had sneaked into the city via walkie-talkie. Tang Qiuli immediately adjusted the combat deployment. The offensive troops at the south gate changed from a main attack to a feint attack, mainly using artillery fire to draw the Japs' attention. , firmly attracted to the south gate.
The main offensive tasks in the other three directions remained unchanged. In order to make Zhongze more confident in his judgment, he also ordered the artillery detachment to dispatch a Type 92 infantry artillery brigade to the south gate, making sure to be seen by the Japanese observation posts.
After breaking through from the north, east, and west, the troops should not fight on the outside, but rush into the center of the city quickly, and then outflank the south gate, giving the Japanese a fierce blow in the back. The main force of the Japanese must be eliminated at the south gate. , make sure they flee into the city and avoid street fighting.
Li Honggang's detachment, the remaining two brigades, and more than 10,000 people from Han Railway's three detachments rushed to the coast to set up defenses to prevent the Japanese reinforcements from the Liaodong Peninsula from landing by sea. Tang Qiuli attacked the Japanese heavy artillery brigade in Jinzhou City. He was very interested in the heavy artillery of the Japanese. He ordered the special operations team to sneak into the city and wait for an opportunity to seize the Japanese heavy artillery after the battle started. He wanted to use these heavy artillery to attack the Japanese warships.
The battle begins at dusk.??The first attack was on the south gate. First there was a fierce shelling. The south gate of Jinzhou fell into a sea of ??fire. The Japanese defensive position was blown to pieces by the shells. These Japanese soldiers who have been stationed in Jinzhou have never seen such a fierce attack. The artillery fire and surface fortifications were all blown up. The Japanese hiding in the bunkers and hidden units were like sitting on a small boat swaying in the wind and rain, with the possibility of capsizing at any time.
As the artillery fire extended, the Japanese soldiers crawled out of their hiding places and bunkers in fear, and entered the fortifications that had been razed to the ground, waiting to withstand a round of fierce attacks.
Unexpectedly, there was silence on the opposite position, without any sign of launching an attack. Just when the Japanese commanders and soldiers at the front were confused and uncertain, the extended artillery fire suddenly turned around and came back, exposing the field fortifications. The Japanese inside were instantly covered by artillery fire. In the direction of the south gate, Tang Qiuli concentrated one-third of his army's artillery, in order to inflict heavy casualties on the Japanese here and reduce the chance of street fighting.
Zheng Yong, who fought with the Japanese in the Northeast for several years, became more and more skilled in the art of commanding artillery. Before the battle began, he arranged artillery of different calibers and ranges in different areas and assigned fixed targets, just like now , the ones that suddenly came back were mainly Type 92 infantry artillery, coupled with high-explosive shells, which sent nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers to the west.
After several attempts, the Japanese defenders at the south gate lost nearly half of their strength. The infantry of the Blood Hand Regiment only made a few tentative attacks. When they encountered a little resistance, they immediately withdrew their attack positions. What followed was a burst of shelling.
Nakazawa was so angry that his teeth itched. He couldn't understand where the Chinese troops got so many artillery shells. He saw that his loyal and brave soldiers were turned into clouds of blood and mist under the fierce bombardment of the Blood Hand Regiment. The human body was broken into pieces, and Zhongze shivered in pain. If this continued, the defense forces at the south gate would be exhausted.
There was no fighting in other directions for the time being. The Blood Hand Regiment devoted all its strength to attack the South Gate. Zhongze gave the painful order to deploy a squadron of troops from each of the other three directions to quickly reinforce the South Gate. At the same time, he ordered the heavy artillery brigade to provide fire support. At the south gate, the artillery position of the Chinese army must be destroyed. This is one of his trump cards. When the troops of the Blood Hand Regiment charge, he will suddenly take it out to inflict maximum damage to the Chinese people.
Now I have no choice but to use it in advance to eliminate the Blood Hand Regiment artillery that poses the greatest threat to the South Gate defensive position. The Japs' heavy artillery roared from the firing position in Jinzhou City. Orange-red ballistic trajectories pierced the night sky. The pounding artillery shells kept falling on the artillery position of the Blood Hand Regiment, and they were indeed extremely powerful. The artillery position of the Blood Hand Regiment was shrouded in hot steel fragments and smoke from the explosion.
The Japanese who had just been tortured by the artillery of the Blood Hand Regiment cheered for a while. If the tiger does not show its power, treat me as a sick cat. The cannons of the Japanese Empire will always be more powerful than the cannons of the Chinese.
In fact, what Tang Qiuli is most concerned about is that the two pillars of Jinzhou City's defense, the Japanese artillery and armored forces, before the Japanese artillery started shelling, the troops attacking the south gate, including the artillery, had long been moved to a safe area, leaving the empty One person's position is left to the Japanese.
As soon as the Japanese heavy artillery fired, the special operations unit in the city was overjoyed and worried that it could not be found. Now, the target was indicated. All special operations units, in unison, shot towards the Japanese heavy artillery like several sharp arrows. The position pounced.
The Japs in the city were all attracted to four directions. At the Japs artillery position, only one infantry squad served as a guard. These Japs, while watching the artillerymen shirtless and busy, could not help but admire how powerful the Japanese Empire was. You see, as soon as our Imperial Army's artillery opened its mouth, the Chinese artillery became mute.
They didn't notice at all that hundreds of black shadows, as nimble as leopards, had approached them. These devils were just admiring the martial arts of the imperial army. Who thought that there would be such a gang of killers in the tightly defended city? god.
A small team of more than seventy Japanese soldiers were neatly dispatched. The Japanese artillerymen were working vigorously. The special forces members pounced on them with daggers and bullets. No one was left alive. These Japanese artillerymen were killed. , the defensive ability is almost zero. Except for the bastard boxes carried by a few commanders for self-defense, the rest of the Japanese artillerymen do not even have rifles, which can withstand the ferocious attacks of these special forces.
In the blink of an eye, these heavy artillery changed owners. The captain of the special warfare unit immediately reported the news to the headquarters and eliminated the Japanese heavy artillery brigade that posed the greatest threat to the troops. Tang Qiuli ordered the special operations unit to protect these heavy artillery. To prevent the Japanese from counterattack, no mistakes are allowed before the siege troops arrive.
The Japanese guarding the south gate are very strange. Why don't they fight? The artillery guys know how to be lazy.
Before they could finish complaining, shells from the opposite side came over again. The Japanese had no choice but to keep their mouths shut and hide in the shelter orIn the fortress, he endured another round of torture.
Nakazawa Kiichi was also very surprised. The phone call at the heavy artillery position could not be reached. He immediately sent a messenger to check the reason. At this moment, a thunderous explosion suddenly came from the direction of the north gate.
This sound was louder than the one at the south gate, and Zhong Zexi felt a "boom" in his head.
