- Chapter 337 Encirclement and Annihilation on the Western Front (5)
Lieutenant General Miyazaki of the 54th Division placed the 111th Infantry Regiment in Bundo Town as a reserve unit, also responsible for urban defense tasks. The 121st Infantry Regiment was responsible for defending the east and north defense zones, and the 154th Infantry Regiment defended the south and west defense zones. The artillery regiment was placed in the southern position and focused on guarding the southern defense line. The lieutenant general was prepared to break out from the south as a last resort.
All the fortifications were once again reinforced, all fire points were set to concealment, and all trees and weeds within a distance of 100 meters outside the town were cleared to form an open space.
The two armies of the Chinese ** Corps and the strength of five armies surrounded Wen Duo. The surrounding areas of Wenduo are all hills. The Japanese army designated the entire ten miles outside the town as a defensive circle, relying on 7 highlands to support the entire defense line. The Japanese army organized these seven highlands into No. 1 to No. 7, and the highlands were connected by a group of bunkers.
Chen Mingren and Zheng Dongguo personally led the officers above the regimental commander to inspect the terrain. The Jaap Highlands in the telescopes were silent, and no one could be seen from a distance. I could vaguely see that all the high ground was a cluster of bunker-like fortifications, and the front edge of the high ground was cut into a steep wall. There was no bunker visible on the hills between the highlands, and the Japanese were very successful in concealing themselves.
But Chen Mingren and other generals could feel that these hills and slopes must have their mouths wide open, waiting to swallow Chinese soldiers in one bite.
The main traffic road further back is a corridor made of huge rocks, which blocks the passage. Chen Mingren frowned and was silent in thought. General Zheng Dongguo couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he looked at the Japanese defense line. The firepower points and bunker were not clear. If we attack by force, the casualties will be considerable.
When several generals returned to the headquarters, they were all silent. Zheng Dongguo glanced around and coughed, "Everyone, please share your opinions on how to fight this battle?"
Commander Huang Jie looked at Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang, "Don't our New First Army and New Sixth Army each have a tank battalion? Why not use tanks to attack the enemy?"
Liao Yaoxiang was outspoken. He said half mockingly: "Commander Huang, when tanks attack the bunker group, don't you use the tanks as living targets? The Japanese army's flat-fire cannons can kill our light tanks one after another."
Huang Jie blushed and stared at Liao Yaoxiang bitterly, thinking that this guy from Baoqing (today's Shaoyang, Hunan) is still a fellow from Hunan, and he doesn't show any kindness at all. Aren't I trying to attract good friends?
Sun Liren glanced at everyone, with a sneer on his face. He really didn't say anything. He took out his lighter and played with it as he was doing.
General Li Mi tentatively said: "How about bombarding him with cannons? We have more than 300 cannons, and we can also make a batch of flying thunder cannons. I don't believe we can't blow up his bastard's shell!"
Zheng Dongguo shook his head, "The Japanese bunker is designed to be very hidden. We don't know the specific location. It's not impossible to bombard it with artillery, but how many shells will be wasted? Besides, it will take a long time."
The conference room fell silent for a while. After listening for a long time, Chen Mingren gradually formed an attack plan in his mind. He glanced around and saw that General Sun Liren was still playing with the lighter. "Ding", a crisp sound echoed in the silent conference room. .
Chen Mingren raised his eyebrows and looked at Sun Liren, "General Sun, what about you? Do you have any suggestions?"
Sun Liren stood up slowly, "Commander, I think we must first conduct fire reconnaissance on the Japanese positions to find out the distribution of the enemy's firepower points. Then concentrate the artillery, seize several key highlands, occupy the highlands, and commandeer the Japanese between the highlands. The bunker fired incendiary bombs to burn his ***."
Chen Mingren¡¯s eyes lit up, this Sun Liren reminded me of him. Commander Chen put his hand on the table and said happily: "General Sun and I want to go together, that's it!"
At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, three hundred cannons of the Chinese Expeditionary Force lined up in a row and fired fiercely at the Japanese highlands No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5. The muzzle of Wudongdong was flashing with fire, and the shells dragged white smoke and drew graceful arcs, piercing the sky. "Boom! Boom boom boom", a series of loud noises exploded in the Japanese position.
The barbed wire was twisted into a twist, and the broken wires flew up, down, left and right irregularly with the air waves of the explosion, and pieces of soil were swept into the air. In the attack tunnel dug at night, the Japanese soldiers sat with their backs against the trench wall, and the earth was shaken like a cradle, trembling with it. The soldiers had sacks filled with soil.
The soldiers put cotton balls in their ears, opened their mouths wide, and wiped their guns repeatedly. A new soldier who had just joined the army was lying on the edge of the trench, looking at the smoke-filled high ground, smacking his lips: "Oh my God! This is our cannon! It's so majestic!"
A veteran next to him pulled him down, patted his helmet, and cursed: "You kid, you want to die! We are only 120 meters away from the Japanese position. If one of the shells misses, you will be reduced to pieces." !¡±
? ?The soldier chuckled and held up his helmet. From time to time, flying pebbles and clods of soil hit the helmet, making a "ding-dong" sound. The recruit shrank his neck and dusted himself off.
Forty minutes later, the sound of artillery gradually stopped, and the sparse sound of artillery turned to the highlands. The Japanese soldiers on the highlands immediately ran out of the artillery holes and entered the trenches, preparing to meet the charge of the Chinese soldiers.
A battalion of Chinese soldiers formed a skirmish line from the offensive position and prepared to attack the Japanese high ground. Fierce heavy machine gun fire was fired at the Japanese high ground. The little devils saw that the Chinese soldiers were preparing to attack. They all had their eyes widened and their fingers were on the trigger, ready to pull it at any time.
Ten minutes later, suddenly, the Chinese Army's artillery once again covered the Japanese position with fierce firepower. Dense artillery shells fell in the trenches, and a dozen unlucky Japanese soldiers were directly torn apart by the shrapnel from the exploding shells.
The Japanese commanders on the three highlands cursed angrily. This kind of artillery fire was not prepared for the infantry to charge. The Japanese officer cursed and gave way to the soldiers and ran into the bomb hole to avoid the artillery fire.
This was repeated four times, and the Japanese defenders were so frustrated that they had nowhere to go, and the defenders suffered a lot of casualties. Looking at the time, it was time to have lunch. The Japanese defenders did not dare to eat, fearing that the Chinese soldiers would take the opportunity to attack. The Japanese soldiers took out the compressed biscuits one by one, stuffed a few pieces into their stomachs, and counted them as a meal.
Just after a pause of more than 20 minutes, the Chinese Army's artillery fired again. This time almost all the artillery was aimed at Highland No. 4. The Japanese artillery fire on Highland No. 4 was unprecedentedly fierce. Captain Rigaobo, the Japanese commander on Highland 4, felt suddenly, "The Chinese are going to focus on attacking my position."
After bombing for a full 40 minutes, the Chinese army's artillery had just transferred its artillery fire, and the infantry hiding in the forward tunnel jumped out of the tunnel one by one and rushed towards the Japanese high ground. The covering heavy machine gun screamed "ta-ta-ta-ta".
When the Japanese soldiers heard the artillery shift and fired, they immediately rushed out of the artillery hole. "The Chinese are attacking! The Chinese are attacking!" Captain Rigaobo shouted, driving the soldiers out one by one.
The Chinese soldiers were carrying sacks one by one, and their feet slipped one step at a time. When the Japanese entered the trench, they had just rushed to the bottom of the steep wall. The Chinese soldiers threw down sacks and piled them into five ramps.
The soldiers rushed up the ramp, and the Japanese opened fire at the same time. The dense bullets knocked down a dozen Chinese soldiers in front. The soldiers behind stepped over the bodies of the martyrs and continued to charge.
Covering the position, the mortar operator immediately adjusted the scale and aimed at the Japanese machine gun fire point and fired a rapid fire. "Bang, bang, bang," more than a dozen shells flew towards the Japanese position, and the shells landed more than ten meters in front of the position. The gunner adjusted the scale again, and there was another round of rapid fire. This time, the shells seemed to have eyes and accurately hit the Japanese machine gun fire point.
Two of the Japanese machine gunners were blown away immediately, and the rest were hit by shrapnel and leaned over the machine guns. The Japanese machine gun fire stopped, and the Chinese soldiers holding submachine guns rushed forward quickly, spitting tongues of fire.
The powerful firepower of the automatic weapons suppressed the firepower of the Japanese 38 rifles. The fierce rain of bullets sprinkled the Japanese positions like water, and the Japanese soldiers were beaten so that they did not dare to raise their heads. The bullet chirped into the soil around him, stirring up a string of small mud chunks.
Several Japanese soldiers risked their lives by throwing grenades, and "boom", the smoke of the explosion rose, and several Chinese soldiers fell in a pool of blood. Before the little devil could catch his breath, the Chinese soldiers threw a row of grenades over him, and the "boom, boom, boom" explosions killed all the Japanese troops on the position.
Several Chinese soldiers rushed to the edge of the trench. The submachine guns in their hands pointed at the Japanese in the trench and fired fiercely. A dozen Japanese soldiers were shot into bloody gourds without even making a sound.
The Japanese soldiers hurriedly ran to both sides of the trench, and the Chinese soldiers chased the Japanese soldiers and fired at them. Some Japanese soldiers hid in the corners of the trenches. The Chinese soldiers who rushed over were unprepared and were stabbed to death by the Japanese soldiers with their bayonets. Then the Chinese soldiers who rushed over aimed at the Japanese soldiers and fired in bursts. All the bullets were shot into the Japanese soldiers' bodies.
The Japanese soldiers put up sporadic resistance in the trenches, and then all retreated to the core fortifications of the bunker. As soon as the Chinese soldiers came out of the trenches, they were suppressed by firepower from the Japanese bunker.
The Japanese army¡¯s bunker was in the shape of a plum blossom, with crisscrossed shooting areas. A dozen charging Chinese soldiers were killed and fell just ten meters away from the bunker. Blood dyed the earth red.
They made several strong attacks but were repulsed by the Japanese. The commander of the main offensive regiment immediately ordered the soldiers to stick to the trenches and not to storm the bunker. The regiment leader threw off the hat on his head and said, "Damn, little devil, the bunker is so well built that you can't even show your head from the trench."
The chief of staff of the regiment suggested from the side, "Commander, how about letting the soldiers secretly dig a tunnel to the side of the bunker, then bury a bomb and blow it up."
The regiment leader smiled in surprise and nodded, "You have a great idea! Let the engineer company commander go up and take a look and give some guidance, soldier"How to dig a tunnel and calculate the amount of filling. "
The engineer company commander personally took action, quietly entered the trench, observed the shape of the Japanese bunker, estimated the approximate area, obtained the data, and returned to the offensive position under the cover of the soldiers.
