Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Guo Bingxun's words shocked Wang Guangyu greatly. When the sound of artillery fired by Liu Changshun's full-line general offensive resounded through General Shi's front line, Wang Guangyu was still immersed in the impact of these words.  ¡¾.Com text¡¿

    Looking at Wang Guangyu who was still in a daze, Guo Bingxun knew that he still needed to digest his words for a while.  So Xiaoxiao did not disturb him, but turned his attention to the progress of the war.  Yang Zhen is not the only one who is optimistic about Wang Guangyu, a rare talent with both military and political skills in the entire military region.  Guo Bingxun also had high hopes for this person.

    It is true that opportunities are very important in a person's development, whether he can achieve certain achievements, but the key lies in himself.  If you are Liu Adou who cannot afford it, then no matter how good the opportunity you give him, it will be a waste.  Wang Guangyu undoubtedly has a future, but how far he can go in the future ultimately depends on him.

    Guo Bingxun, who turned his main attention to the progress of the war, did not interfere in any way with the command of Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming.  He paid great attention to just grasping the rhythm on some key points. In addition to coordinating the fire support of the direct artillery, as for the rest, he left all other matters to the commanders of the Second Brigade.

    In Yang Zhen¡¯s words, they are all senior commanders at the brigade level and should have experience in independently commanding operations.  Wang Guangyu performed very well in previous battles and proved his strength with his results.  Du Kaishan also performed well in the previous raid on Yilan.  Now it depends on whether Liu Changshun can hand over an answer that satisfies the commander and himself.

    Although Guo Bingxun did not confess anything, in fact it was his failure to confess anything that brought great psychological pressure to Liu Changshun.  Although he looks carefree on the surface, he is actually not what he appears to be. Liu Changshun is still very thoughtful and knows that this battle is a test from the headquarters to whether he is qualified for the position of brigade commander.

    However, although he was under a lot of pressure, fortunately, Wang Xiaoming and Ma Chunsheng beside him were not freeloaders.  With the help of the two of them, Liu Changshun was somewhat restrained in his performance, but he did not restrain himself. His performance should still be up to standard.

    After accepting the general offensive mission, Liu Changshun reduced the original three regiments that had been transferred by Yang Zhen to one battalion and given to Wang Guangyu a battalion. More than one battalion had been injured and killed in the previous battle. In fact, all three regiments were not fully staffed and were reduced to two.  A group.  And the two battalions with the strongest combat effectiveness were selected from the middle to be used as sharp knives.

    In Liu Changshun's private words to Wang Xiaoming and Ma Chunsheng: "The Japanese's 40th Regiment was almost worn out by the First Brigade before. Now our Second Brigade has made it clear that we are here to pick peaches. If the fight is too ugly, we will also  I have no shame in messing around anymore.¡±

    "Little devil, don't say that we rely on the strong to bully the weak. I have already given them a lot of face by deploying two battalions to deal with their two squadrons. If the headquarters hadn't stipulated that the battle must be ended before dawn, I would have deployed two battalions to deal with their two squadrons.  The two companies have a good fight with them. Let¡¯s see which one is more powerful, his 40th Regiment, or our second brigade.¡±

    "I don't believe in evil anymore. Without air support and artillery cover, we have become a group of toothless tigers. How can these little devils be so flamboyant? Let's be fair this time. One battalion will deal with one of their squadrons. Otherwise,  The little devil went to the Lord of Hell and said that we should bully the minority with the greater number."

    Looking at Liu Changshun, who spoke so loudly about fairness, Wang Xiaoming and Ma Chunsheng could not help but secretly despise him.  What is your name?  A battalion of 800 people goes against a squadron of more than 200 people. Is this fair?  This does not include the regiment's infantry artillery and mortar companies, as well as the artillery support provided by the headquarters.

    It was just a secret discussion, but neither of them argued with Liu Changshun, this extremely shameless guy, about this matter.  How can there be so many fair things on the battlefield?  This is a life-and-death battlefield, not the one-on-one duel of the past where you were so full that you had nothing to do.

    Liu Changshun had made enough capital from the beginning. Before the clods of earth raised by the covering artillery fire had completely fallen, the two battalions that launched the attack in the first wave fired anti-aircraft machine guns, as well as a large number of light and heavy machine guns, and counterattacks.  Under the cover of close-range infantry artillery and rapid-fire artillery, attacks were launched from both wings of the Japanese position.

    In order to ensure that the Forty Regiment was completely wiped out before dawn in accordance with the headquarters' orders, Liu Changshun's offensive was extremely fierce as soon as it started.  Its level-firing anti-aircraft machine guns and a large number of light and heavy machine guns suppressed the firepower of the Japanese army. The approaching infantry artillery lifted various temporary Japanese field fortifications into the sky one by one.  The dense mortar shells knocked down Japanese troops who tried to launch a counterattack and fought against the attacking troops.

    In order to ensure the success of this attack, especially the coordination of infantry and artillery tactics should be as good as possible.Results.  When taking over the position of the First Brigade, Liu Changshun also retained the cadres of the First Brigade.

    After hearing the report of the staff officer who was sent to the first brigade to coordinate the operations of the two armies on the first brigade's combat methods on the previous day, Liu Changshun was very envious of the first brigade's infantry and artillery coordination tactics.  Therefore, when taking over the position of the First Brigade, after asking Guo Bingxun for permission, Liu Changshun took over all the few remaining cadres of the First Brigade.  Used to help you coordinate the infantry and artillery coordination tactics of your own troops.  The artillery units directly under the regiments of the first brigade were temporarily assigned to the command of the second brigade in an integrated manner.

    With the assistance of the cadres of the first brigade, and the direct participation of the artillery of the first brigade, the infantry and artillery coordination tactics of the attack on the second brigade have made great progress compared with the previous night.  Although it is not like the hard-trained artillery of the first brigade, the artillery firepower is basically able to follow the footsteps of the attacking troops and clear the way for them under the guidance of flares or signal flares.

    With the strong support of artillery, the two battalions launched by Liu Changshun made relatively smooth progress.  Under the cover of artillery fire, the attacking troops fought extremely steadily, although the pace was very slow.  The Japanese military fortifications were peeled off layer by layer.

    In fact, Colonel Matsuzaki Rikio immediately felt something was wrong as soon as the gunfire of the opponent's general attack sounded.  During the day, the opponent did not brave the bombing of the aviation force as he expected, trying to completely defeat the 40th Regiment in one go. Instead, he only used a small group of troops to launch a penetrating attack, making him understand that this was just the opponent's full cover from the own aviation force.  Below, a tentative attack.  They are accumulating strength, waiting for their aviation forces to retreat, and then looking for opportunities to give themselves the most fatal blow.

    So when night fell and the aviation force retreated, Matsuzaki Rikio was nervously adjusting his troops and deployment, while he was anxiously looking forward to the night passing earlier and the aviation force appearing over him again.

    "It's just that the troops on hand are limited. There are only two complete squadrons left, and a patchwork squadron that can even be regarded as lightly wounded. He has limited adjustments to this troop strength and deployment.  In desperation, Komatsuzaki Rikio could only focus on his front.

    Komatsuzaki Rikio did not expect that his opponent did not hit him the most nails as usual, especially when there were about two companies of troops firmly nailed to his front with a straight line distance of less than 30 meters. Instead, he chose to attack from the flanks.  breakthrough, and put more of the limited strength on hand on the front.

    He never expected that his opponent would secretly move his main force back to his relatively thin flank under the cover of night.  When Liu Changshun's general attack was launched in full force, Komatsuzaki Rikio, who immediately felt that his deployment was wrong, was suddenly blinded.

    It was then that he discovered that the main force he deployed on the front could not be withdrawn even if he wanted to.  The opponent has been nailing the two companies in front of him since last night. The distance between them can be described as close at hand. After the opponent launched a full-scale attack, they launched non-stop attacks. Although the offensive was not violent, they were stalking them.  The attack dragged his main force in the front, making it impossible to return support.

    Matsuzaki Rikio, who could not mobilize the frontal troops, knew better that he had only deployed a squadron that was struggling to fight, and even the slightly wounded were added to barely make up the number, as well as all the grooms, cooks and all non-combatants in the wing headquarters.  The flank cannot hold out for long under such a strong attack from the opponent.  Once the flank was breached, the Forty Regiment, which had lost its flank cover, would be doomed.

    Now he is covering his head and exposing his feet again.  Matsuzaki Rikio, who covered his chest and exposed his buttocks, felt regretful.  Why did he work so hard last night? If he had shrunk his troops earlier, he wouldn't have lost almost all the capital of the 40th Regiment overnight. Why was he so passive now?

    The development of the battle was just as Rikio Komatsuzaki expected. His flank collapsed under the fierce attack of his opponent in a short time.  It's not that those Japanese soldiers lacked the spirit of a fight to the death, but their opponents simply didn't give them a chance to fight to the death.

    As soon as the light and heavy machine guns defending the Japanese army started firing, the opponent's artillery shells would come to the door.  Less than half an hour after the attack was launched, the Japanese light and heavy machine guns on the flanks lost their embers under the opponent's unremitting artillery fire. Most of them, together with the machine gunners, were reduced to piles of parts under the enemy's fire.

    As soon as the war started, they lost only basic fire support. They were already short of troops. Now they could only rely on rifles and the Japanese army's traditional hand-to-hand combat capabilities. The stubbornly resisting flanking Japanese army made one last attempt to defeat the opponent with hand-to-hand combat. Before the opponent's attacking troops  Less than ten minutes after collapsing under intensive submachine gun fire, the entire flank of the Forty Regiment was shaken, and then collapsed.

    And Rikio Komatsuzaki tried every means to extract the power from the frontBefore the troops of this small team could reach the combat area, they were caught halfway by the dense rain of mortar shells fired by the opponent.  Almost none of the soldiers in the two squads survived, and they were all beaten on the way to reinforcements.

    Seeing his own troops struggling in the rain of bullets caused by dense mortar shells in full view of the flares fired by their opponents, Komatsuzaki Rikio, who was closely observing the progress of the war, not only shook his head and sighed.  This scene was not unfamiliar to him, who had participated in the battle against the Chinese army in the customs, and it was not that he had never seen it before.

    It¡¯s just that this move usually only occurs in scenes involving the Chinese army.  But he didn't expect that today's situation would change, and it would happen to him almost unchanged.  The situation is similar, except that the person who suffers is a different person.  The scene in front of him suddenly reminded Xiao Matsuzaki Rikio of an old Chinese saying: Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river.

    It¡¯s just that Liu Changshun didn¡¯t give Komatsuzaki Rikio much time to sigh.  After tearing apart the flanks of the Japanese army, the two battalions quickly adjusted the direction of their attack and pounced on the backs of the remaining two squadrons of the 40th Regiment, which was fighting hard against the two companies of the 1st Brigade that were still holding out on the front.

    Behind them, after seeing the success of his tactics of attacking in the east and attacking in the west, Liu Changshun did not hesitate at all, except leaving a battalion of reserve troops, and threw all the rest of his troops onto the battlefield to find and annihilate the remaining Japanese troops that were defeated.  , to ensure the safety of the attack force's rear route.

    The first phase of the war went smoothly, and the combat objectives were completed ahead of schedule, which made Guo Bingxun completely relieved.  It's just that he was a rigorous person and did not give up his attention to the war.  As long as the battle doesn't end for a minute, he won't give up attention.

    "Compared to Guo Bingxun, who is now much more relaxed, Komatsuzaki Rikio, who was attacked from both sides and knew that the time he could hold out could be calculated in minutes, was already prepared for the worst.  Immediately after the collapse of his flank, he ordered the regimental flag and all military flags to be burned.  In his opinion, these battle flags personally awarded by His Majesty the Emperor must not fall into the hands of opponents.

    After burning the military flag, Rikio Komatsuzaki, who knew that he had reached the last moment, used the radio to send a last farewell message to Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara who was far away in Jiamusi. After that, he blew up all the radio stations and completely destroyed the code book.  Burn it down and organize all the communication troops into front-line combat squadrons.

    At the same time, Rikio Komatsuzaki distributed a grenade to each of the medical staff who had no combat effectiveness.  As for the seriously wounded who had lost their combat capabilities and could not even move freely, together with all the excess weapons that had lost their owners, they were all put together, poured with gasoline, and burned.

    "Little Matsuzaki Rikio is crazy now.  In his opinion, weapons were given by the Emperor and must not fall into the hands of his enemies.  And the emperor's samurai cannot become prisoners of war that can be humiliated by their opponents at will.  The traditions of the Imperial Army are more important than the lives of those wounded soldiers.

    After doing all this, Komatsuzaki Rikio concentrated all the remaining forces and started an offensive battle with the only two companies that still had combat effectiveness in the brigade that launched the frontal attack.  His meaning was very clear. If he could defeat the opponent's two companies, he might be able to take advantage of the opponent's main force being concentrated on his flank and gain a chance to break through from the front.

    If they cannot defeat the frontal enemy and break through, then the 40th Regiment will bite off a piece of their opponent's flesh even if they die.  He, who did not want to become a prisoner of war, stood at the front of the charging queue, holding a Type 38 rifle with a bayonet, just like his subordinates.
