    ? Colonel Tsuki Taro Kawajana, who was unexpectedly surprised by the rapid collapse of the Manchukuo Army, was almost filled with regret at this moment.  "Piao Tian, ??a registered member of literature recommends this work" Piao Tian, ??a registered member of literature recommends this work. He originally wanted to replace his 44th Regiment with the Manchukuo Army in order to reduce his casualties.  But he never expected that his opponent, who had been shrinking his neck and being beaten these days, would actually have the strength to fight back.

    "It's okay for the Manchukuo troops to fight those guerrillas with weak firepower, but if they fight in such large groups, they really can't afford it.  After all, the Japanese army was training thugs for themselves, not an opponent.  The purpose of training these puppet Manchukuo troops is not to make them undertake independent operations, but to act as a dog leg for themselves and help suppress resistance throughout the Northeast.

    The Japanese are very smart. What they need is a lackey, not a potential opponent.  Colonel Taro Kawama knows this very well.  But he did not expect that these puppet Manchukuo troops would collapse so quickly after the fierce shelling.

    "As soon as these people formally engaged in the battle, they quickly collapsed and exposed their core positions to their opponents.  If Colonel Hejian had not reacted quickly and directly ordered the remaining light and heavy machine guns on the position to fire and suppress them, regardless of the Japanese officers among them, and drove the defeated troops to both sides of the position, his own position would have almost not been overwhelmed by these people.

    Colonel Hejian¡¯s move was very vicious. In order to protect his position from being overwhelmed by the defeated army, he opened fire directly at the puppet Manchukuo army that was retreating towards his position.  Unprepared, the puppet Manchukuo troops who tried to escape into the Japanese positions to seek protection suffered heavy casualties.  They also wiped out the leading battalion of Du Kaishan Regiment, which was following closely behind and tried to rush into the Japanese position.

    Du Kaishan, who was observing the enemy's situation, saw that the attacking troops were knocked down by indiscriminate shooting by the Japanese army, and the offensive was blocked on the puppet Manchukuo army's position. Feeling distressed, he picked up the phone and cursed Xu Yan, the commander of the regiment's mortar company.  : "What did you do, didn't I ask your artillery to keep following up? Are your mortars just decorations? It's been so long, why haven't you knocked out those machine gun fire points?"

    Xu Yan, who was scolded, also felt miserable.  He did not expect the speed of the collapse of the puppet Manchukuo army.  The infantry followed too closely. Since breaking into the puppet Manchukuo army's position, they have been suppressing the puppet Manchukuo army.  His own range of fire was tightly blocked by the retreating puppet Manchukuo army and the pursuing infantry, and he couldn't see how the target could provide fire support.

    But before he could explain, Du Kaishan on the other side of the phone followed up: "You don't need to explain to me. I told you again and again before the war, where the infantry is defeated, your artillery will follow. There are enemies there.  Focus on the firepower and let me hit your artillery shells there. Don¡¯t tell me that those machine gun fortifications are made of steel and concrete, so your mortars won¡¯t work.¡±

    Looking at the infantry who were suppressed at the front by more than a dozen Japanese light and heavy machine guns and could only lie on the ground and shoot at each other, Du Kaishan was extremely anxious.  Compared with the Japanese army's long-range shooting accuracy, our own troops are seeking death.  Even though they are all equipped with the same 38-type rifles, they are almost perfect within 200 to 300 meters. If half of the people on my side can defeat the target within 150 meters, they are already enjoying themselves secretly.  .

    The only way to avoid casualties in fighting the Japanese army is to enter close combat as soon as possible.  Of course, this close combat does not refer to hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army.  The little devil's hand-to-hand combat ability, at least for now, is not comparable to that of his own troops. This is not only clear to Liu Changshun, but also to Wang Guangyu and Du Kaishan.

    ¡°The close combat they are talking about refers to using the large number of submachine guns and speed machines and other automatic firearms equipped in their own hands to use the intensity of firepower to defeat the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army in close combat.  Try to avoid any confrontation with Japanese rifles or even machine guns.  Especially at this time, Du Kaishan had a large number of submachine guns in his hands, and he would not be an idiot to use his own weaknesses to touch the Japanese army's strengths.

    When the Fourth Division was here, the secret base in Qunce Mountain was surrounded by Japanese troops.  However, after the withdrawal of the Fourth Division, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops were only enough to maintain frontal attacks and protect their flanks, and were simply not enough to form a complete encirclement.

    After discovering that the encirclement of the Japanese and puppet troops had weakened, leaving only the frontal troops, and that he could resume direct contact with Qunce Mountain, the commander-in-chief immediately moved the more than 400 submachine guns that had been produced overtime over the past few days, as well as a large number of modifications, as quickly as possible  Southern-style pistol ammunition was transported to Qunce Mountain.

    After receiving this batch of weapons, Guo Bingxun, who was already preparing to start a counterattack, did not hesitate and distributed all these submachine guns to the two regiments in the shortest possible time.  His tactics are obvious. We are not their type to fight against the little devils.  Even if he is no match for others, he cannot fight with bayonets.  But we can use the large number of automatic weapons on hand that the little devils do not have to fight them in close combat.

      And the counterattack tactics formulated by Guo Bingxun are also very simple, which is to break through the frontal defense line of the puppet Manchukuo army as quickly as possible and suppress the puppet Manchu army.  After defeating the frontal Puppet Manchukuo army, the entire army followed behind the Puppet Manchukuo army and drove the defeated Puppet Manchukuo army towards the Japanese defense line, striving to overwhelm the Japanese army's frontal defense line.

    Guo Bingxun¡¯s idea was good, but he did not expect that the Japanese army would go on a killing spree at a critical moment in order to ensure that their positions would not be disrupted by the defeated puppet Manchukuo army.  Not only did they use firepower to stop the collapse of the puppet Manchukuo army, they also shot rabbits in the grass, causing serious casualties to their attacking troops.

    Seeing the heavy casualties of the attacking troops, more than one Du Kaishan had red eyes. Even Guo Bingxun, who was observing the battle less than 200 meters behind Du Kaishan, also had red eyes.  From the telescope, Du Kaishan could clearly see that the leading battalion of the attacking force had suffered casualties from at least half the company under the indiscriminate firepower of the Japanese army.

    The distance is too close, less than 200 meters away. According to the training level of the Japanese machine gunners and the number of light and heavy machine guns on the Japanese position, this distance is enough to cause casualties to the sharp knife battalion.  If it weren't for the defeated Manchukuo army in front, the sharp knife battalion might have suffered more casualties.

    A somewhat red-eyed Guo Bingxun picked up the phone and was about to give an order to the artillery to use artillery fire to plow one side of the Japs' forward position.  He knew very well what would be waiting for the attacking troops if he did not knock out those light and heavy machine gun firepower points as soon as possible.  Just the moment he picked up the phone, he suddenly calmed down again.

    At this time, the distance between the two armies on the front line was less than 100 meters. The distance was too close, and the training of our own artillery was still insufficient.  Once artillery fire is used to cover such a close distance, what kind of casualties will the attacking troops suffer?  I'm afraid it's simply unimaginable.

    Perhaps seeing the hesitation on Guo Bingxun's face, a combat staff officer next to him said: "Chief of Staff, would you like to see if the attacking troops should retreat slightly. In this way, we can use artillery fire to suppress the stubborn resistance of the Japanese troops in front of us, or we can wait for the commander  After launching an attack there, we will attract some of the Japanese troops in front of us to reduce the pressure on our front. "

    Regarding this staff member's suggestion, Guo Bingxun shook his head without thinking and said: "No. These Japanese troops are not troops like the Fourth Division. They are all veterans who have been brainwashed by the Bushido spirit and are not afraid of death. Under the gunfire,  I don't need to tell you about the survival rate of veterans. Even if they are covered by artillery fire, they may not be able to destroy these light and heavy machine guns. Once we withdraw and let them recover, we don't know how much it will cost to attack again.  "

    "Besides, the commander's troops are not as strong as ours, but they are actually responsible for the main attack mission. We only need to separate the 44th Regiment from the Lin Fang detachment left by the 4th Division. And the main  The burden of intersecting and dividing the Japanese troops is on their side. If our side temporarily stops the attack, the pressure on their side will be greater."

    Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun felt somewhat anxious.  Seeing that the thirty-minute attack time agreed with the commander was coming soon, there was no progress here.  Once the main force of the Japanese army cannot be attracted, Yang Zhen's side will inevitably be under unimaginable pressure.

    From the perspective of the overall deployment of the Japanese army, although there are only two squadrons of the Japanese army there, there are still two full squadrons of Japanese troops behind them on the joint position with the main force of the 44th Regiment.  And the 3rd Cavalry Brigade is not like the 4th Division.  Once it is discovered that the 44th Regiment is in danger, reinforcements will be sent desperately.

    If there is no progress on our side, we will not be able to attract some of the Japanese troops stationed in the north.  This will bring unimaginable pressure to Yang Zhen and Liu Changshun of the Second Regiment.  They only have the strength of one regiment, and it will be extremely difficult to face a flanking attack from both sides.

    Thinking of this, Guo Bingxun gritted his teeth and picked up the phone to call Wang Guangyu, who was launching a feint attack on Lin Fang's detachment and cutting off the contact between the 44th Regiment and Lin Fang's detachment.

    As soon as the phone call came through, Guo Bingxun was not polite at all and said directly: "Old Wang, use part of your force to restrain Lin Fang's detachment. The main force immediately turned around and attacked the right wing of the 44th Regiment as quickly as possible. No matter what the cost,  No matter what the cost, we must attract some of the Japanese troops from the north. Within twenty minutes, I will hear you start."

    "Yes, the mission given to you is not a feint attack. Now I don't care whether it is a main attack or a feint attack. Between you and Du Kaishan, whoever opens the Japanese defense first will be the main attack."

    I heard that Wang Guangyu had some doubts about his order. Time was urgent, and Guo Bingxun did not explain it to him.  Just tell Wang Guangyu that your side will fight first and make a breakthrough first, and you will be the main attacker.

    After giving the order to Wang Guangyu, Guo Bingxun wanted to contact Du Kaishan again, and said straight to the point: "Du Kaishan, you still"?No?  I have ordered Wang Guangyu to turn around in the shortest time and attack the flank of the 44th Regiment.  If you can't do it, just retreat and let Wang Guangyu take over your main attack.  "

    Hearing that Guo Bingxun had ordered Wang Guangyu to turn around, Du Kaishan's eyes turned red.  After putting down the phone, he rushed to the artillery company position in person and said directly to Xu Yanhe, the infantry artillery company commander of the regiment: "The chief of staff has turned the regiment to attack from the right wing of the Japanese. I will tell you directly what they are here to do.  Yes, they are here to steal the position of our main attack group."

    "If they are allowed to break through the Japs' defense first, our main attack group will be doomed. How can we still hold our head high at that time? Can you give us a happy word today as to whether we can keep our position as the main attack team?  . Can you use artillery shells to send troops up there?"

    Du Kaishan¡¯s words made the two artillery company commanders blush.  After a brief silence, Xu Yan gritted his teeth and said: "Commander, don't worry. Even if our two companies are exhausted, we have to send the troops up this time. The position of this main attack group belongs to our third group, and no one can  Can't take it away."

    After saying that, Xu Yan turned to the infantry artillery company commander Qin Yishui and said: "Old Qin, your infantry artillery has a farther range than mine, and its direct aiming accuracy is higher than my mortar. My mortar movement is better than yours."  It's convenient and has a high shooting angle, which is suitable for fighting this kind of open-air fortification. In this way, you can send my mortar company to the front, and I will support the infantry there. I'll take it all down."

    Hearing this, Qin Yishui pondered for a moment and then said: "Old Xu, I think it's okay. Not only will your mortar company advance, but my infantry artillery will also advance. Look, three hundred meters to the right of the front of the Japanese army has been attacked.  Is there a ridge in the puppet Manchukuo position we captured? It is not high, only about half a meter high. Although it cannot overlook the entire Japanese position, it is directly facing the Japanese front line position. After a while, my infantry artillery moved up.  There, fire and cover you."

    "But let's not act recklessly. Let's divide the work. Your mortar is relatively flexible, and you can suppress the Japanese grenades and light machine guns. My infantry cannon uses direct firepower to knock out the Japanese heavy machine guns. My infantry cannon  When you move there, you fire to cover me. After I move in, you move forward."

    "The Japanese artillery has been knocked out. The biggest threats to us are grenade launchers and light and heavy machine guns. This grenade launcher in particular poses a great threat to our machine guns. As you just saw, several machine guns of the attacking troops were destroyed.  In the hands of these bastards, if we don't kill them, even if our troops rush forward and lose the cover of machine gun fire, it will be difficult to withstand the Japanese counterattack. "

    ¡°Both of them are straightforward and unobtrusive people.  Now that it has been discussed, there is nothing more to say and they immediately lead their respective troops into action.

    Xu Yan led the mortar company to bayonet the infantry artillery, and under the cover of close-range shooting regardless of the cost, under the Japanese firepower network, they forcibly moved to less than 200 meters away from the Japanese position. At the cost of Du Kaishan's assistance, Xu Yan  At the expense of the casualties of the regiment's engineer company, several temporary and crude fortifications were built using the few heavy machine gun bunkers on the original puppet Manchukuo army positions.

    As soon as they arrived at the predetermined area, Xu Yan commanded the mortar company and went crazy.  It was as if he didn't see the grenades fired from grenades that exploded from time to time around him.  As for the light and heavy machine gun bullets that seemed to be splashed out on the Japanese army's position, they didn't even care.  Even at such a close distance, the shells fired from the cannon body, which was almost at a 90-degree angle, could fall on his head at any time, but he didn't care.

    Xu Yan and Qin Yishui fought so hard, but the Japanese army couldn't stand it anymore.  The two people work together and have a clear division of labor.  Except for grenade launchers, which are extremely simple to launch and difficult to find the launch point, almost all the Japanese machine gun fortifications exposed outside were knocked out one by one.

    The opponent lost the support of machine guns, and the attacking troops suppressed by Japanese firepower immediately took advantage of this opportunity to rush into the Japanese position.  Using the tactical combination of a large number of submachine guns and speed machines in his hands, he brought the three fierce tactics he usually trained to the extreme.  The attacker held up a Type 38 rifle with a fixed bayonet.  The Japanese troops who wanted to use hand-to-hand combat tactics to drive out the opponents who rushed into their positions suffered heavy casualties.

    Seeing his opponent knocking down his comrades with weapons spraying dense flames in his hands, he had almost no room to fight back.  He looked at the light and heavy machine gun positions on his side being destroyed one by one by the opponent's infantry artillery and mortars that had almost been pushed under his nose.  The remaining Japanese troops, always known for their tenacity, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

    After paying a price that was definitely not small, Du Kaishan finally defeated the frontline defense of the 44th Regiment.  After breaking through the Japanese front-line position, Du Kaishan immediately transferred a battalion to replace the Jiandao Battalion, which was also almost crippled, and quickly expanded into the Japanese position.

      Seeing that the front line position was breached, the two squadrons on the front line suffered casualties.  In order to stabilize the second-line position, with fierce fighting going on in the south, Colonel Tsutsumi Taro Kawama had no choice but to transfer two infantry squadrons and a heavy machine gun squadron from the northern front where the enemy had not yet been discovered.  Just when these squadrons rushed to the frontal position despite the occasional artillery fire from the opposite side, trying to strengthen the defense of the second line of defense, the originally peaceful northern line suddenly erupted with intensive artillery fire.

    Hearing the sound of artillery on the northern line, Colonel Tsutsuki Taro Kawama couldn't help but froze.  In an instant he understood that he had fallen into a trap.  On the northern front, he deployed the reinforced brigade of the 43rd Regiment.  After deploying two infantry squadrons and one heavy machine gun squadron, there are only two infantry squadrons left in the north. How can they withstand the opponent's onslaught?  As for the puppet Manchukuo troops deployed in that direction, he no longer had any confidence.

    This time the 11th Division sent troops to Mount Ceshan, except for the brigade reinforced by the 43rd Regiment, the main force was the 44th Regiment.  The four infantry brigades of the 44th Regiment itself, in addition to the casualties of more than two squadrons after taking over the attack from the 4th Division, as well as the two squadrons deployed to the south and the part that took over from the 8th Regiment to protect their own supply lines.  In addition to the troops, the rest were mainly deployed on the front in order to maintain pressure on the front line of Qunce Mountain.

    However, due to terrain restrictions, the 44th Regiment was deployed as a ladder.  There are not many troops at the front.  Except for two squadrons on each of the first and second line positions, the rest of the troops were behind the headquarters.  However, although the opponent ended the large-scale bombardment, they used some artillery to form a duty artillery group.  As long as he mobilizes troops from behind to support forward, he will use intensive firepower to cover the reinforcement route.

    At the beginning of the crisis in the front-line positions, in order to reinforce the front-line positions and stabilize the second-line positions, Lieutenant General Tsutsuki Taro Kawama had already added more than one squadron under this artillery group.  He really didn't dare to move troops from behind to fill it in.  If you continue to fill it out, you will not even have a reserve team in your hand.

    Although the shelling included only an hour, and the actual contact between the two armies lasted for more than 20 minutes, although Du Kaishan's sharp knife battalion suffered heavy casualties, the two squadrons deployed by Taro Kawama on the front line were also destroyed.  Consumed.  Even under the opponent's desperate tactics and the concentration of all firepower to attack one point, the second line of defense has a tendency to collapse.

    Tsutsuki Taro Kawama knew very well that once the second-line position also collapsed and the enemy in the south made a breakthrough, then the entire position of the 44th Regiment would be in danger of collapse.  No matter how reluctant Kawama Tsutsuki Taro is, he can only tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.  But he never thought that his opponent would also ambush an ambush to the north of him.

    No matter how slow Kawama Tsutsuki Taro is, when the battle has reached this point, he knows that he has fallen into a trap carefully designed by his opponent.  Taking advantage of the opportunity to capture Jiamusi was purely a tactic they used to deceive the enemy.  Feigning an attack on Jiamusi, the main force of the Fourth Division was transferred back.  After concentrating the troops to encircle him, he was already considered to be alone.  The opponent has really good intentions for himself.

    Taro Kawajama, who was stunned by the intensive sound of gunfire from three sides, could not help but wonder: "How many troops do these Chinese people have? How could they fight more and more? Since they have already attacked Jiamusi with enough troops  Withdraw, why is there no news from Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru?"

    ??Hejian Tsutsutarou, who was already tired of dealing with the frontal battle situation, was caught off guard by Yang Zhen's sudden attack and was in a panic.  Liu Changshun, who launched the attack on time, did so smoothly.

    Maybe it was a tacit understanding, maybe it was Yang Zhen's daily teachings, half an hour later than the front, Liu Changshun, who launched the attack from the north, adopted the same tactics as Du Kaishan.  A large number of automatic firearms were concentrated, and under the cover of the approaching artillery, close combat tactics were adopted as much as possible.

    After all, the 75mm mountain cannon equipped by Liu Changshun is much lighter than the field artillery used as the main frontal fire support.  Although the range is not as good as field artillery, when fighting in mountainous areas, for fire support equipment, the weight of the weapon is more important than the range.

    Liu Changshun, who suffered a loss in Jiamusi, appears much smarter this time.  After the artillery completed the fire cover, they immediately blocked a mountain artillery battery from Qiu Jintang.  Formed into several artillery detachments with infantry artillery and mortars, they adopted the tactic of attaching bayonets to the cannon and fired at close range.  Several types of artillery work in division of labor and use their respective advantages in range and shooting angle to attack Japanese firepower points and cover infantry attacks.

    Since similar tactics have been used once in Jiamusi, the cooperation this time can be considered proficient.  Under the cover of artillery fire, the first wave of attacking troops easily defeated the puppet Manchukuo army's defense line and rushed directly into the Japanese defensive position behind.

    And with the front and south because of Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru¡¯s departure before he left,The difference is that here, because the Japanese army had been on the offensive before, and there was a defensive position of the puppet Manchukuo army in front,  The Japanese army here did not even build defensive positions except for a few simple warning positions.  Directly exposed to the bare position and passively beaten.

    After the two squadrons at the junction behind him were taken by Colonel Kajian to stabilize the frontal position, the remaining two squadrons were exposed to the bare position and suffered extremely heavy casualties under the firepower during that period. In fact,  Has lost its combat effectiveness.  Liu Changshun's fight was actually very easy.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I could break through the frontal defense of the Japanese and puppet troops so easily, so Liu Changshun, who felt that he had tried his best but missed with one punch, did not hesitate at all.  Except for leaving one battalion to block possible reinforcements from the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, he did not leave any reserves and devoted all the troops on hand to the attack.  He wanted to completely separate the 44th Regiment in the shortest possible time according to the battle plan, laying a solid foundation for the next step to completely solve the 44th Regiment.
