Chapter 153: Under the Tengchong City

I will be banned next week, thank you to all book friends.

Late at night, Song Yuhang was still sleepless and stood under the night sky and watched the starry sky. Seeing that the military throne refused to rest for a long time, Cui Zhijun and Xu Tuan helped bring bottles of wine and moved a few empty ammunition boxes, and drank in the night sky together.

Song Yuhang said depressedly that his so-called kindness was bitten by a dog. Cui Zhijun burst out laughing. Cui Zhijun looked at Song Yuhang and shook his head gently and said, "Military throne, no one can accept your kindness. War is the matter of the Eight Immortals showing their magical powers across the sea. You have your fighting style, and I have my masterpiece! Your hand is too long, this is a lesson!"

Even Xu Tuan, who had always spoken to Song Yuhang regardless of right or wrong, turned around this time. Song Yuhang, who was depressed, took a few sips and claimed to be tired and returned to the tent listlessly to sleep.

In fact, Song Yuhang was unable to figure it out. Could some people's so-called self-esteem be more precious than the lives and blood of soldiers? Such people are simply bastards! In order to reduce the bleeding of Songshan, Song Yuhang decided to chew Tengchong as soon as possible at all costs and cut off the Japanese reinforcements to Longling from the flanks.

The next morning, the 53rd Army and the 5th Army headquarters began to attack with the rumbling cannons. Song Yuhang, standing on the top of Feifeng Mountain, was standing tall and found that the Japanese army in Tengchong seemed to have different feelings from yesterday. Many Japanese troops seemed to have adjusted and deployed last night?

Song Yuhang didn't know that his opponent had changed at this moment. Colonel Katsushigemi, who refused to reinforce the peripheral positions, had been replaced by Major General Kobayashi.

The first thing that the ambitious Kobayashi did after taking over command was to organize troops to prepare for a full-scale counterattack, and focused on the counterattack on Feifeng Mountain.

The Japanese counterattack unexpectedly encountered the Chinese army's attack. The entire Tengchong line was filled with smoke, the sound of cannons, the dense fire exchange and the shouts of killing made the earth tremble.

The Japanese counterattack troops surrounded the flanks of the two mountains while the 53rd Army and the 54th Army attacked Feifeng Mountain and Fengsi Mountain. They fought with the expeditionary forces to avoid weaknesses, which led to the expeditionary forces' artillery advantage being unable to be exerted.

In the Kobayashi, three large groups of Japanese troops were gathered along the north-south axis of Tengchong City, and launched an attack from the south of Feifeng Mountain, where there were fewer fortifications in Feifeng Mountain, trying to defeat Feifeng Mountain in one fell swoop. The defensive situation in Tengchong was restored to the pre-war period.

Faced with the large-scale counterattack of the Japanese army and the local government, Song Yuhang was shocked and confused at the same time? This was an attack that was extremely contrary to tactics and common sense. The Japanese army put into the ground forces and its fierce attack posture both showed that this was not a feint. The best time for the Japanese to attack was when the Chinese Expeditionary Force attacked Feifengshan yesterday. But at that time, the Japanese army was very rational and remained motionless. Let Song Yuhang prepare for it and all the artillery fire and bombing were lost.

At this moment, the Chinese Expeditionary Force had captured Feifeng Mountain and stood firm. But the Japanese attacked with great fanfare. Normal, tactical, wise and intelligent officials should gather their troops. Relying on Tengchong's solid city defense and Laifeng Mountain echo each other. Did the Japanese take the wrong medicine?

Xiaolin Zhongyi didn't know that his stinking chess stumped Song Yuhang. At the same time, he temporarily saved Tengchong. He asked Song Yuhang to reduce the Japanese defense area and then use special ammunition plans to deviate.

Regarding the unexpected attack of the Japanese army, Song Yuhang hurriedly contacted Huo Kuizhang. Since the Japanese army changed its tactical arrangement, our army could not stick to the old rules. If the enemy wants to change, we will change it first. Huo Kuizhang ordered the 53rd Army and the 54th Army attack troops to entangle the Japanese counterattack troops. At the same time, the enemy's retreat route was blocked with artillery fire. Then the entire army pressed forward and strived to annihilate the counterattack enemy under the city of Tengchong.

At the time when the Expeditionary Force adjusted its tactical deployment site, the Japanese main attack troops had begun to attack Feifeng Mountain, a mountain infantry brigade.

Under the cover of the 60-mm mortar and the Type 89 heavy grenade launcher, thousands of Japanese troops formed three dense crowds and flew straight to the main peak of Feifeng Mountain in three directions.

The first battalion of the mountain infantry brigade, serving as the front line defense, used dotted and line-type foxglove pits and half-moon bunker teams to fight steadily. After putting the Japanese army in 50 meters, they ordered fire and fire. For a time, the smoke of gunpowder was filled with gunpowder. The Chinese soldiers used the dense firepower formed by automatic weapons to give the Japanese army huge damage. The Japanese army attacked from the back fell in front of the Chinese defenders' positions like cutting wheat.

During the stalemate between the two sides, the Japanese army kept approaching the defending defense line at all costs.

However, the subsequent Japanese army still howled "onboard" and rushed towards the defending positions. Some suicide squadrons mixed with explosive packs were running quickly and jumped into the fox pit to detonate the explosive packs. Amid the banging explosion, the defense lines of the first battalion of the mountain infantry successively appeared. The Japanese army, who had successfully attacked, looked for the breakpoints to try to break through to the two wings.

Unfortunately, the Japanese army had lost its last chance, and the adjusted artillery group began to stop and shoot at the Japanese follow-up troops.

The dull and sharp whistling made the Japanese army who were attacking raised their heads in horror!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! In the flashes of explosions, the flying earth and rocks were mixed with the broken limbs and broken arms of Japanese soldiers, the broken military uniform fragments and weapon parts, and the miserable wails were covered by the violent explosions.

After five rounds of rapid fire, the attacking troops of three Japanese brigades were cut into several sections by artillery fire. Then the artillery fire immediately extended to the city defense of Tengchong. The four watchtowers in Tengchong County rely on the city wall were the key points of its defense. Song Yuhang remembered that in history, the Expeditionary Force used the Allied strategic bombing troops to bomb many times before it collapsed. Then the Expeditionary Force flocked in and recovered Tengchong County after several days of bloody battle.

Obviously, the Chinese army's artillery fire surprise attack was also beyond the expectations of the Japanese army. At this moment, the Chinese and Japanese armies were fighting around the outer positions. After a brief artillery fire support, the Chinese army suddenly shifted its target. The storm-like artillery shells fell densely on the unprepared Japanese army near the city defense of Tengchong.

Standing on the fortifications and watching the excitement on the fortifications, the Japanese officers and soldiers were immediately bombed to pieces, with heavy casualties.

Because of the loss of Saito Public Housing, Saito Moji, who was involved in a dispute with the Tanabe Detachment leader, was re-activated by Kobayashi. He hoped that he could make meritorious service. Saito Moji, who was full of ambitions, had no chance to use his talents. As a 155mm grenade flew into the sky, it was the first time that Saito Moji overlooked the earth in this way. The broken bodies of Saito Moji were scattered within a distance of hundreds of square meters.

Saito Moriji was very lucky to be the first Japanese general to be shot dead since the second counterattack of the Chinese expedition!

After the Japanese troops attacked Feifeng Mountain were cut into several waves by artillery fire, they still faithfully carried out the offensive orders, slapping the reefs one by one, like waves. The defenders' positions were as stable as rocks under the attack of the Japanese army, and even in the defense gap, the defenders continued to organize attacks in front of the formation, killing and injuring the Japanese army in front of the formation in large numbers.

When these beast-like invaders fell on the land of a foreign country, they immediately repent. The bursts of creeping howls made the Japanese soldiers who were just shouting long live charges realize. It turned out that they were not strong either. The Bushido spirit could not relieve pain, and the bayonet could never defeat the gun.

When the attack was completely hopeless, hundreds of remaining Japanese troops fled back to the starting position under the city of Tengchong with their arms and armor, leaving behind the expeditionary army artillery fire.

These Japanese soldiers who had been dead and died, were stunned by the tragic phenomena before returning to their starting positions. The fortifications that had been completed were broken, and the groans of the wounded, abandoned corpses, and the huge craters were still emitting blue smoke. The mess of the Japanese soldiers who had survived death had numbed them. Most of them leaned into the trenches casually and threw their weapons aside. Several veterans gathered together and lit cigarettes with their trembling hands. In the fragrance of the tobacco field, they looked at the sky empty. At this moment, gunfire and cannon sound have become no longer important.

The Japanese army first withdrew from Feifeng Mountain to fight. However, the battle between Feifeng Mountain and Fengsi Mountain was becoming increasingly fierce. With the cooperation of the garrison troops, the Japanese counterattack troops first attacked the Chinese soldiers attacking with firepower. Then, with a small group of troops flanking, the tactics of attacking in front of the main force continuously consumed the attacking spirit of the Chinese army.

After several charges, Zhou Fucheng, the commander of the 53rd Army, and Fang Tian, ​​the commander of the 54th Army, discovered the problem, so they immediately decisively ordered the stop of the attack and the troops retreated to the attack launch position to rest.

The arrogant Japanese army thought that the Chinese army would be defeated and retreated, so they chose one of the three peaks, including Laifeng Mountain, Feifeng Mountain and Fengshan, and immediately launched a deep counterattack on the Chinese army.

The three artillery groups of the Expeditionary Force prepared a large number of and sufficient artillery shells for the Japanese counterattack. The shirtless artillery soldiers ran back and forth in the ever-changing commands, sweating profusely.

In the area where the barrage blocked, under the suppression of ten rapid fires of the Expeditionary Force's artillery group, the Japanese counterattack troops were immediately severely damaged. With the flash of the explosion, gun smoke filled the air. Among the wanton shrapnel, Japanese soldiers scattered in densely attacking formations fell to the ground one by one.

The Japanese attack momentum was suddenly suppressed by the fierce, dense and accurate artillery fire of the expeditionary army's artillery group. The so-called counterattack launched by the new Japanese commander Nakaichi Kobayashi failed to achieve any expected tactical purpose. Instead, it exposed the Japanese army's strength and deployment. It was a purely typical tactic of stealing chickens without losing rice.

Song Yuhang was not easy to comment on the strategies and tactics of various countries. He always believed that the German army's tactics were to remove the cows with a quick knife, to be flexible and maneuverable, to concentrate elite troops to strike the enemy's key points. If you encounter an enemy that is difficult to solve quickly, you should avoid it for the time being. Almost all the most classic battles in the history of World War II were completed by Germany. This is not accidental, because Germany and the German army were not particularly strong, and they could only rely on excellent and sensitive tactics to make up for the overall shortcomings.

The US military tactics are to chop trees with big axes. Simply put, it is to fight head-on, fight heavy artillery, fight air force, tanks, infantry firepower. In short, fight everything and win by strength in the end. Therefore, the US military did not seem to have any particularly outstanding battles during World War II, but the US military's combat was very smooth and basically unstoppable. In fact, it is to win with the strong national strength of the United States. Such tactical requirements exceed the opponent in all aspects, and there are also strong requirements for individual firepower.
