Chapter 647 Japanese Homeland Operations (7)
After receiving the order to attack, although the Japanese troops felt that this order was inappropriate, and a large number of artillery positions in Bijing were destroyed, and the Japanese troops who were preparing to attack saw it very clearly, the Japanese army, who were used to obedience, still chose to obey the orders, so the three Japanese troops immediately launched an attack on the positions of the People's Army.
Although the Japanese army's previous artillery bombardment caused some damage to the People's Army's positions, the time for artillery bombardment was too short and the damage was very limited. Therefore, although the scale of the Japanese attack this time was much larger than the last time, the process and the result were not much different. In the face of the People's Army's strict defense and dense firepower, it was difficult for the Japanese army to pose a major threat to the People's Army's defense line.
However, the Japanese army launched an attack, which surprised Luo Yue a little because according to normal thinking, after his artillery position was hit by the opponent, it was not suitable to launch an attack. However, the Japanese army not only launched an attack, but also had a large scale. It didn't look like a test or restraining the attack. It was so difficult that the Japanese army had any other backup plan?
But after observing for a while, Luo Yue could basically confirm that the Japanese army had no backup, which was a normal attack. Although this was unreasonable, considering that the Japanese army had performed too many unreasonable behaviors in the old time and space, the current behavior of the Japanese army was not surprising.
Luo Yue pondered for a while, looked at the map, asked about the location of the fleet, and then ordered the drone to be dispatched to reconnaise the location of the Japanese positions, and ordered the fleet to prepare for fire and fire, and ordered the two Marines left behind to the Neng Peninsula and the two newly arrived Army divisions to prepare for battle.
It turned out that at this time, Luo Yue suddenly had an idea that he could take advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army's full attack and first use naval guns to strike the Japanese army, because the firepower of the People's Army's fleet can cover the entire peninsula. It was just because the Japanese army was well hidden, and it was difficult to reconnaise the Japanese army's joint position even with drones. However, when the Japanese army attacked the People's Army's positions, it exposed its position, and the naval fleet could naturally launch a strike. After the fleet disrupted the Japanese formation, the People's Army launched another attack and could defeat Japan in one fell swoop and achieve a major victory.
Although this was just a temporary combat plan that Luo Yue had intended, because before that, Luo Yue did not expect that the Japanese army would launch a meaningless attack on the People's Army's positions after losing the support of artillery. Therefore, Luo Yue had never expected it before the war, but this plan was indeed very successful. Although the People's Army's strength was not as strong as the Japanese army, it was far better than the Japanese army in terms of reconnaissance methods and firepower.
However, although this sudden combat plan is good, it is not easy to implement. The main reason is that there is too little preparation time. It is necessary to reconnaise the position of the Qing Japanese army and prepare for a full-scale attack and attack. It cannot be completed in a short time. If the Japanese army stops attacking at this time and lurks again, the People's Army's full-scale attack will not be completed.
Two hours later, the drone reconnaissed all the positions of the Japanese positions and passed them to each fleet, and the fleet also adjusted the shooting units, waiting for Luo Yue to order. Fortunately, the Japanese army was still attacking the People's Army's positions at this time. Although they had paid a huge price for casualties, they did not look like they retreated at all.
It was only then that Luo Yue was completely relieved that his combat plan seemed to be successful. So he immediately ordered the fleet to launch artillery attacks.
So the warships immediately launched artillery bombardment, and the shells fell on the Japanese army that were attacking like raindrops. At the same time, the People's Army guarding the positions also opened fire, and all the mortars opened fire together to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army.
Suddenly, a dense explosion occurred within 300-800 meters of the frontier of the People's Army's position. Although the number of naval guns was not large, the power of large-caliber artillery was huge. A 280mm shell could kill a range of about 100 meters. Japanese soldiers within 10 meters of the shell landing point could fly 7 or 8 meters high by the explosion shock wave.
Although the Japanese army also learned some lessons from the last attack and scattered the formation and expanded the distance between soldiers from 2-3 meters to 4-5 meters, it was still insufficient. In the eyes of the People's Army, it was still very dense, because the distance of the People's Army during the attack was only maintained between 10-15 meters, and when necessary, it can be expanded to more than 20 meters. Only in this way can the formation be fully expanded and the lethality of the enemy's single shells is reduced. Therefore, the current Japanese army is still far from it.
After being bombarded by the People's Army, the Japanese army not only suffered heavy losses, but also their attack was cut off. After all, who would rush in to the other side's shelling area? Of course, this is also related to the change in the Japanese army's mentality. Compared with the last attack, the morale of the Japanese army has decreased significantly. Moreover, after its artillery position was hit by the other side, it further weakened the morale of the Japanese army.
So the People's Army's artillery began to carry out extended shooting, expanding the strike range to a position 1,000-1,500 meters away from the People's Army's position, which included some Japanese attacks. Then the People's Army broke out of the position and launched an attack on the Japanese army.
The first attack was the two army divisions who had just arrived at the Nondon Peninsula. They were just landing on Japan's territory and were a new force. When they were in full swing, everyone had enough breath to win a battle and establish military achievements.
Although the Japanese attack was cut off, some soldiers still attacked within 300 meters of the People's Army's position. Of course, a considerable number of soldiers had fallen down. The remaining soldiers were suppressed by the firepower of the People's Army and suddenly the People's Army's shooting stopped. Then, the soldiers of the People's Army held a bayonet and rushed towards him. They couldn't help but be overjoyed. Moreover, they had no time to think about it, and they immediately put the bayonet and met.
In the eyes of these Japanese soldiers, facing the enemy's bayonets is of course better than facing the enemy's bullets, and many Japanese soldiers are still somewhat confident in their hand-to-hand combat capabilities. However, as soon as the two sides fought, the Japanese army was no match at all. First of all, in terms of number of people, the Japanese army was at a clear disadvantage; and the ability of hand-to-hand combat was much worse than that of the People's Army soldiers. The People's Army soldiers of Bijing had all experienced the training on the Far East battlefield and had seen blood and fire. Japanese soldiers were basically novices. Although many people were determined to fight to the death, the gap between bayonets and veterans was still quite obvious, and they always felt that they could not use their strength.
Of course, even if it is a hand-to-hand combat, the People's Army will not be without casualties. Moreover, some Japanese soldiers are determined to die and adopt the same fighting style. When they face such Japanese soldiers, their experience and technology advantages will not play much role.
However, overall, the advantages of the People's Army are still quite obvious. It took only more than ten minutes to defeat the Japanese army and then continue to rush forward. Luo Yue also ordered the remaining two Marine divisions and other Russian mercenary groups to attack, follow behind the two assault divisions, respond and cover.
At this time, the artillery fire of the People's Army extended again, and this time all the Japanese positions were included. Therefore, the entire Japanese army was in chaos. Bi Jing was hit by such intensive artillery strikes. Even if the army that had been through many battles could not remain stable, not to mention that most of the Japanese army were recruits, they were still stable and fled in all directions.
After the artillery attack, the People's Army also arrived. Although there were only two divisions of the People's Army that attacked, the People's Army had been through battle formations for a long time, and the formation of the team was neat, and the first battle was in full swing and fighting spirit. They rushed forward and attacked forward, striving to completely break up the Japanese army. In fact, in the artillery attack just now, the casualties of the Japanese army were not too great, but they completely disrupted the army's organization, so they were no match for the People's Army. Wherever the two divisions of the People's Army attacked, the Japanese army could not resist and could only escape. However, the People's Army left behind the enemy troops that were dispersed and disrupted, and they did not even arrest the prisoners, because there were still troops from the People's Army behind them, so they could only leave them.
Under the fierce attack of the People's Army, the Japanese army quickly collapsed across the board and became a major defeat. The People's Army still pursued them closely, and then pursued and covered them, waiting for an opportunity to divide and surround the Japanese army and annihilate them. Many Japanese troops also completely collapsed and surrendered to the People's Army.
The battle lasted for a day and a night. The Japanese army was defeated for nearly 100 kilometers. Not only did they all withdraw from the Neng Peninsula, but even Ishikawa and Toyama could not defend it. The People's Army's troops even attacked Qifu Prefecture, and then all ended.
In the end, the People's Army recorded the results of the battle. A total of 32,574 enemy troops were annihilated in this battle, and 24,819 were captured. The People's Army itself only died 715 people and injured 1,073 people. At the same time, a large number of rifles, ammunition and materials were seized, which could be said to have achieved a brilliant victory. When the Japanese army was completely defeated, Shinji Ishii died of suicide by drinking ammunition in the command center. However, the staff and adjutants still took his body and retreated all the way to Qifu County, but finally did not fall into the hands of the People's Army.
After this war, Japan will not be able to organize another 10 division-level troops to attack the peninsula for a considerable period of time. Therefore, the People's Army can be said to have a complete foothold in Japan. Without the British and French Expeditionary Forces, the East China government only needs to invest another army of troops to take advantage of the victory of this battle to attack Japan in an all-round way and force Japan to surrender in a full-scale manner, which will be under the control of the East China government from then on.
