Chapter 1206, Night battle
Late night.
Fengtai.
Outskirts of the Japanese aggressor camp.
Zhang Yong looked at the second hand of his watch silently.
57…
58…
59…
Zero point.
Time is up.
“Attack!”
“Attack!”
Orders are issued quickly.
In an instant, a large number of figures emerged from the darkness.
?They crouched, guns in hand, and gradually approached the Japanese invaders'' position.
“Pah hook!”
“Pah hook!”
Soon, the Japanese invaders discovered the movement.
The gunfire rang out quickly.
“Enemy attack!”
“Enemy attack!”
The Japanese invaders hastily issued an alarm.
At the same time, the searchlights were turned on. Want to light up the darkness.
result…
)
)
After the dull gunfire, the searchlight was smashed.
This is the contribution of the M2 heavy machine gun. Long range. Powerful. The searchlight shattered directly.
??The Japanese invaders next to the searchlight were also beaten to pieces.
The power of a 12.7mm bullet hitting a human body can be imagined. It certainly can''t be intact.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Heavy mortar bombardment.
All 81mm mortars have been mobilized.
The ones participating in the attack tonight are mainly the Temporary First Brigade. It was the main force in the original establishment. A total of four thousand people.
The Japanese invaders had heavy artillery. There are planes. There are tanks. If you act during the day, you will be crushed. You can only come at night.
Must fight at night.
You can only fight at night. Definitely can''t beat it during the day.
"superior!"
"superior!"
Commanders at all levels roared with all their strength.
The soldiers rushed forward one after another. Until he falls.
Zhang Yong’s face was expressionless.
Now is not the time to be soft-hearted.
Since the battle plan has been approved, casualties must be suffered.
Strictly speaking, tonight’s battle was not planned by Zhang Yong. But Cheng Yaojin and Xia Yikui.
They want a big vote.
??? Wanted to take advantage of the Japanese invaders'' empty strength and directly threaten the Fengtai camp.
Xia Yikui estimated that the Japanese invaders had lost a lot of troops after many attacks, and they might only have about a thousand troops at the moment.
Other Japanese troops are also some distance away from the Fengtai camp. It is impossible for reinforcements to be in place in a short period of time. Even if you rush here non-stop, you still have to arrive during the day. Therefore, tonight, there should be about a thousand people in the Japanese army''s Fengtai camp.
In this case, a temporary brigade of more than 4,000 people was gathered to launch a fierce attack. With enough weapons and ammunition, there should be a 70% chance of winning.
So he asked Zhang Yong for instructions.
Zhang Yong pondered for a moment. Then it was approved.
In fact, he also wanted to see the true combat effectiveness of the temporary brigade.
??The troops can''t just be maintained and used up!
They must be dragged out to fight. Only by fighting often can you make progress.
?Hide it like a treasure and be reluctant to take it out, and the final result will be that it becomes useless.
Yamato Ryokan is like this.
The Japanese invaders were always reluctant to let them go to the front line. So I don''t have much combat experience.
When I had to go to the front line later, I realized that the situation was very bad. Many areas that needed improvement were not improved in time. So he was fatally struck.
On the contrary, it was the Yukikaze, which fought almost the entire game and had rich experience, and survived in the end.
The same goes for Hu Zongnan. He was kept in the rear by Lao Jiang. The end result is that it is useless. No fighting ability. A complete failure.
Zhang Yong did not want the troops under his "supervision" to imitate Hu Zongnan.
?Must be hit frequently. Fight often.
Weapons and ammunition, I will replenish them for you.
Soldiers, I’ll give you some more.
Just keep your head down and beat me! Hit him hard!
So…
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The sound of explosions continued.
Fighting broke out around the entire Fengtai camp.
Because the First Brigade has strong troops and sufficient ammunition, it almost attacks in company units.
Each company chooses an attack route. Autonomous attack.
Each company is equipped with three 81mm mortars. There are plenty of shells. It can be said that he is armed to the teeth.
The purpose is to prevent the Japanese invaders from worrying about other things. Can''t tell the main direction of attack.
Before the war started, each company was specially equipped with three M2 large-caliber heavy machine guns. There is plenty of ammunition. Those searchlights were shattered by M2 heavy machine guns.
But after the battle began, Zhang Yong found that it was not so smooth.
Domineering and sideways?
Easily crushed?
Does not exist. The two sides soon fell into a fierce battle.
“Pah hook!”
“Pah hook!”
The Japanese invaders'' counterattack was still very fierce. He is also brave and not afraid of death.
This is the Fengtai camp of the Japanese invaders. It was the headquarters of the Japanese infantry regiment. Mutaguchi Ren is also here.
For the Japanese invaders, this was something they could not afford to lose. So, of course, we will fight back hard.
Some Japanese invaders even launched counterattacks in the dark.
The temporary brigade was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses and casualties.
Fortunately, there is a reserve team behind us.
The reserve team came up and used submachine guns to suppress the Japanese invaders.
All the Japanese invaders who launched the counterattack were killed.
The battle is heating up.
“Baga!”
“Fight back!”
“Fight back!”
Mutaguchi Lian was also very angry.
?He did not expect that the Chinese army would dare to attack at night. Or attack the Fengtai camp.
Is it the 29th Army?
Or Zhang Yong’s troops?
You can think of it as the latter even with your knees.
?Other than Zhang Yong, who else dares to take the initiative to attack?
“What’s going on?”
Sugita Kimiyama appeared holding a pistol.
He was supposed to go back to garrison the army headquarters. But took a leave of absence.
Mainly because he and Mutaguchi Lian were also classmates at the University of China. Now that we have arrived in Peiping. The two of them talked about old times. Drink sake.
Unexpectedly, I finished drinking the sake. Just lie down. The sound of gunfire came.
“It’s Zhang Yong’s troops.”
“Is he the clown?”
“He’s not a clown.”
Mutaguchi Lian also gritted his teeth.
He hates being called Zhang Yong a clown. real.
Because Zhang Yong had already caused him a lot of losses. Make him lose face.
The military losses were heavy.
Back and forth, almost two brigades were lost.
At present, only one of his regiments is basically intact, and the rest are defeated.
Six tanks were also lost.
?Four of them were taken back to Peking by Zhang Yong and displayed as trophies.
This is definitely a great shame for Mutaguchi Renya. If he hadn''t been thick-skinned enough, he might have committed seppuku.
?Of course, it is impossible to commit seppuku. It is only possible to order others to commit seppuku.
As scapegoats, two squadron commanders who had returned from the rout were ordered to commit seppuku. Mutaguchi Ren also personally chopped off their heads. Serve as a warning to others.
Fortunately, this evening, an infantry brigade rushed from Tianjin Wei arrived. Only then did he regain the strength of two brigades.
But it’s useless.
Zhang Yong is here again.
??Just after the press conference during the day, Zhang Yong, who was ridiculed and injured, led his troops and came over in the dark.
This bastard. He really knows how to find opportunities!
At the moment, the Japanese army is at its weakest. Reinforcements mobilized from the rear have not yet arrived.
In fact, the forward of the 14th Division has already reached the Shanhaiguan and Qinhuangdao lines. But it was stopped. The military ordered them to wait on the railway.
Why?
Because we still need to create the illusion of peace talks.
The 29th Army needs to continue to believe that the Japanese army is sincere in negotiating.
??If the 14th Division comes over, no matter how stupid the 29th Army is, they will wake up. A full-scale counterattack would then be possible.
By then, other Japanese reinforcements have not arrived, and the situation may get out of control.
As a result, Mutaguchi Lian also suffered. It took a long time to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
However, it was precisely because of this that he was not removed from office. The task given to him by the garrison army was to guard the Fengtai Camp.
?Originally, this task was very simple. The problem is, that Zhang Yong is not simple either!
Mutaguchi Ren also believed in his own judgment.
?That Zhang Yong, the clown, was definitely disguised on purpose.
Fortunately, he temporarily received a large group of reinforcements, otherwise, I''m afraid he would really be shattered tonight.
“Report! Enemies found in the direction of Dahegou!”
“Report! Enemies found in front of Fangjia Pu!”
"Report…"
The signal troops arrived anxiously.
There are only two staff officers in the wing headquarters. I was so busy that I was sweating all over my head.
Map hanging on the wall, marked with various colors. The Fengtai camp is surrounded by enemies.
“Baga!”
“Where did that clown get so many troops?”
“It must be fake!”
“It must be fake!”
Sugita Kimiyama frowned. I feel that Zhang Yong is using a cover-up trick.
This is a common practice among Chinese soldiers. Their ancestor wrote a book called "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. All Japanese and mainland students studied it.
With so many enemies, some of them must be feints. There is only one direction of true attack.
The question is, where is Zhang Yong’s real direction of attack?
“Ling ring ring…”
“Ling ring ring…”
The phone at Wing Headquarters kept ringing.
??The poor two staff officers are simply too busy.
Sugita Kimiyama had no choice but to end the game himself. Help answer the phone. Help mark map information.
The few men he brought with him also went into battle to help.
“Nani? Ito Squadron Captain Tamaki?” Sugita Kimiyama suddenly felt something was wrong.
Ito Squadron is over there at Fangjia Pu.
?Isn’t that the direction of Zhang Yong’s feint attack?
Why is the battle so fierce?
The battle just started and the squadron leader died in battle?
Baga!
Is this Zhang Yong’s main direction of attack?
“Fangjiapu?”
"Yes. Ito''s squadron captain was shattered. More than half of the squadron was lost. The enemy''s artillery fire was very fierce. Unprecedented. They were all large-caliber mortars."
“Ito…”
Mutaguchi Lian also frowned.
He also felt that Fangjiapu might be Zhang Yong’s main direction of attack.
Only a main attack can cause such heavy losses to the defenders. The squadron leader Yu Shai. Heavy artillery fire...
“Report! Your Excellency, Captain, Yujiapu has been captured...”
“Nani?”
Mutaguchi Lian also reacted quickly.
?Hurryly turned around to look at the map.
Yujiapu…
?That is the front of Fengtai Camp!
There is a small team stationed there. Still a very elite team.
Why was it lost?
Baga!
“Order Pu Chuan to counterattack immediately…”
"Your Excellency, Captain, I just received the news that Captain Puchuan''s jade is broken..." "Nani?"
Mutaguchi Lian’s expression also changed.
Another squadron leader is in trouble? What''s going on?
Look at the map. Yujiapu and Fangjiapu are far apart! More than five kilometers!
It was impossible for Zhang Yong to invest so many troops in two directions at the same time. It is impossible to attack in two directions at the same time. There must be some focus.
?So, here comes the question...
Is it Yujiapu or Fangjiapu?
Headache…
“Mosey, Mossey…”
?Over there, the staff officer continued to be busy answering the phone.
After a while, a staff officer quickly came to Mutaguchi Renye.
Mutaguchi Ren also raised his hand. Tell the other person to stop talking.
He needs time to judge the situation.
Yujiapu?
Fangjiapu?
Which direction is Zhang Yong’s main attack?
Baga!
No clue!
Hands down. Let the staff report.
“Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the heavy artillery brigade asks for instructions in which direction they should bombard...”
“Artillery…”
Mutaguchi Lian also frowned.
Yujiapu? Fangjiapu? It’s impossible to judge!
“Ling ring ring…”
“Ling ring ring…”
The phone continued to ring.
Too busy…
Totally too busy…
Sugita Kimiyama went over and picked up the phone.
“Report! Enemy found! Enemy found! The enemy is behind our position!”
“Baga! Where are you?”
“Artillery! Heavy artillery brigade! Heavy artillery…”
“Boom…”
There was an explosion.
?Then the phone became silent again. There was dead silence.
Sugita Junshan was trembling in his heart.
A cold air came from behind. Then I understood Zhang Yong''s purpose.
Baga!
The opponent''s real attack direction is the heavy artillery position!
Zhang Yong’s real purpose tonight is to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery! Yujiapu and Fangjiapu are all fronts!
Baga!
?This cunning clown!
Hurryly put down the phone. Came to Mutaguchi Renye''s side.
“The heavy artillery position was attacked. Contact is currently lost. It is estimated that this is Zhang Yong’s real purpose.”
“Baga!”
Mutaguchi Lian suddenly became furious.
Subconsciously, I want to slap someone. But just as he raised his hand, he took it back again.
?The other party is also a colonel. He is also the chief of staff of the garrison. In terms of rank, he is above his captain.
?However, within the Japanese army, only the commander-in-chief who leads the troops is supreme. Others who do not lead troops will basically be reduced by half a level.
“Send the order! Retreat immediately! Everyone, retreat to the heavy artillery position!”
"yes!"
The staff officers hurriedly issued orders.
Sugita Kimiyama picked up the helmet next to him. Ready to go.
He believed that Mutaguchi Renye''s deployment was correct. Wing Headquarters can give up. But the heavy artillery positions cannot.
??If those heavy artillery were lost, the Japanese army would really have no power to fight back.
At the moment, we rely on those heavy artillery to stay alive.
“Withdraw!”
“Withdraw!”
The Japanese invaders moved quickly.
The Japanese invaders were also very flexible when the situation was unfavorable.
Retreat quickly to the heavy artillery position, and then gather together. Resist stubbornly. Also request urgent tactical guidance.
In fact, it means asking for help.
??The distress telegram was drafted by Sugita Kimiyama himself.
??Of course he doesn''t want his life to be ruined here. Tonight can be said to be the most dangerous night.
Fortunately, a large group of reinforcements came in the evening...
Otherwise…
“What? The Japanese invaders have reinforcements?”
“You arrived in the evening?”
At this time, Zhang Yong also received the latest information.
It turned out that the Japanese invaders were not one brigade, but two brigade.
"yes…"
Xia Yikui lowered his head. Very ashamed.
Failing to grasp this information will have a huge impact on the battle.
It may even lead to failure.
Previous battle plans were aimed at about a thousand people. As a result, the enemy numbered 2,000...
"sit."
Zhang Yong waved his hand. Let Xia Yikui sit down.
On the battlefield, no one is omnipotent. No one can have all the information at all times.
?The Japanese reinforcements came just by chance.
The battlefield intelligence here is very bad. Don''t even know about this.
In fact, the First Brigade has not yet formed its own intelligence network. The reconnaissance company, search company, etc. are not yet complete.
Sigh, it’s so confusing...
Who would have thought that the Japanese invaders had already arrived with reinforcements?
When a thousand people become two thousand, it will be difficult to fight.
After all, the Japanese invaders were the defenders. There are fortifications. There is also heavy artillery cover.
?Just thinking about those heavy artillery gives me a headache...
Sneak attacks are actually not that easy.
Multiple alerts were also set up around the Japanese invaders'' artillery positions.
?It is unrealistic for the troops to attack and capture the enemy in a short period of time. Only mortars can be used for long-distance bombing. Inflict as many casualties as possible.
However, it is impossible to destroy the Japanese 105mm heavy cannon.
In other words, something terrible is coming.
Sure enough…
“Boom…”
“Boom…”
The Japanese heavy artillery began to bombard.
Yujiabao and Fangjiapu are all within the bombardment range.
This is a crushing heavy weapon. There is simply no way to resist it. Even in the dark, it can cause huge casualties.
“Withdraw!”
Zhang Yong decisively ordered the troops to retreat.
There is no point in continuing to fight fiercely. It will only increase troop casualties.
Being calm in front of the 105mm heavy artillery.
Otherwise, one shell could kill several people. It''s not worth the effort.
In addition, the 81mm mortar shells carried by each unit are estimated to have been exhausted.
“Withdraw!”
“Withdraw!”
Transmission of orders.
All participating troops were withdrawn.
Statistical losses.
Fortunately, there were less than 500 casualties.
To catch someone by surprise and attack them unprepared. The ground was washed away by artillery fire.
The Japanese invaders were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Seven of the teams were wiped out alone.
In other words, the number of people killed by the Japanese invaders was at least 350. If other losses are included, the casualties of the Japanese invaders should be six to seven hundred.
It’s almost done.
Just accept it when it’s good.
The fierce battle is yet to come!
It is not cost-effective to fight the Japanese invaders head-on in the plains.
“Replenish ammunition!”
"yes."
Zhang Yong had already arranged for ammunition supplies.
81 mm mortar shells are enough. Each unit can take as much as they can.
12.7mm large-caliber machine gun bullets are enough.
? It turns out that this large-caliber machine gun is really useful. It has a long range, great power, and can penetrate walls.
The general defenses of the Japanese invaders can be easily penetrated. In many fortifications, the bodies of Japanese invaders were found, killed by bullets that penetrated the walls.
As a result, Zhang Yong added the M2 heavy machine gun. Increase it by fifty in one breath.
Then summarize the combat experience.
The biggest flaw is poor intelligence.
??The Japanese invaders arrived with a large group of reinforcements, but the first brigade did not know about it.
This shows the lack of mass base.
well…
This is a common problem among the national army!
Shaked his head.
He has no way to solve this problem.
Only the Red Party has the solution.
“Ling ring ring…”
“Ling ring ring…”
Suddenly the phone rang.
Zhang Yong picked up the microphone. I found out that the call was from Tong Linge.
“Commander Tong…”
“Commissioner Zhang, well done!”
"Um?"
“Didn’t you just launch an attack and defeat the Japanese invaders?”
“Not completely defeated.”
“That’s pretty awesome. The Japanese invaders were forced to retreat to their heavy artillery positions and even lost their own regiment headquarters.”
"actually…"
Zhang Yong was about to speak but stopped.
He wanted to say, actually, you can take advantage of this opportunity to expand your victory.
?Your 29th Army can take over and continue to attack the Japanese heavy artillery positions. You have a 75mm mountain gun in your hands!
This can be used against the Japanese heavy artillery. Can be threatened remotely.
There are still 100,000 of you.
At present, the Japanese invaders are empty of troops in North China.
??If you can seize the opportunity decisively and attack with all your strength, you may be able to reverse the current disadvantage.
However, he didn’t say it in the end.
Why? It''s useless to talk too much. Some things don''t need to be said.
??If the 29th Army really had such a consciousness, it would have taken action long ago. What does he need to say?
What a pity…
Hang up the phone slowly.
Sleepy. Go to sleep.
wake up. It''s already three poles a day.
Wash up.
Go out.
I found that the atmosphere in the temporary tour was a bit tense.
Perhaps he was not very satisfied with the battle last night. Officers at all levels were called by Cheng Yaojin for lectures.
The battle performance last night was indeed not good.
It’s barely average.
?Cheng Yaojin was certainly not satisfied. He also wanted to show off his skills. It didn''t work out.
Zhang Yong thought it was normal.
??The First Brigade is a new unit. It''s the first night battle. It''s pretty good to be able to fight like this.
?From now on, if you fight often, you will naturally become more elite.
Come to the headquarters.
I found that my desk was piled with newspapers.
Pick up one at random.
Yes, they are all sarcastic. Not a single good word.
They all say that Zhang Yong looks like a clown.
Needless to say, behind these newspapers are the Japanese invaders and traitors.
sit down.
The closing glance.
Thinking about what to do today.
Suddenly, the communications staff hurried over.
“Commissioner, urgent call from the Attendant’s Office.”
"oh."
Zhang Yong brought it over.
?The four words above:
Go back to Jinling quickly!
