Chapter 224 Megatron Gallbladder
Li seems to be looking at it? Japanese soldiers are filled with shouts and tt echoes when they step on the fur shoes. The shining bayonet shines under the moonlight. At this moment, no one will question whether Sakuma's plan can succeed, because once the infantry brigade enters the north bank of the bridge and establishes an effective attack position, it will only be a matter of time before the bridgehead on the north bank of the Xiangjiang Bridge is conquered.
The main forces of Yimu Brigade have all passed through the Xiangjiang Bridge, and the subsequent horse farm brigade and Takahashi Brigade have also launched an attack! The officers and soldiers of Yimu Brigade, who were panting, were lying under a ramen of earth dozens of meters away from the north bank of the bridge. They were a little scared in surprise. The silent Chinese position was so quiet that it was uneasy?
Hiroshi Ichiki ordered two teams to immediately reach the commanding heights of the north slope to reconnaise, because in the information they had received before, the Chinese army had been built for several days, and according to common sense, it would not have given up so easily.
Lu Long looked at the Xiangjiang Bridge in the mirror of the artillery team with a cruel smile, and turned to Xi Pengfei, the combat staff officer behind him, and said, "Around three brigades of Japanese! The little Japanese is really willing to invest such a dense army in such a narrow place!"
Xi Pengfei pressed the phone and asked for instructions: "Captain, can we start?"
Lu Long curled his lips and said, "It's a bargain for that boy Zhang Wei. I planted trees and he enjoyed the cool air. I was standing in front of me and was so smoky that he was comfortable behind him!"
Xi Pengfei was about to make a phone call and said with a smile: "Brig Commander Zhang, you can start! Please focus on the two areas that extend 100 meters. The Japanese who cried and sang before were the ones."
Hiroshi Ichiki took out the map, knelt on one knee on the ground and pulled out the flashlight. A Cao Cao took out his raincoat and was about to cover the map. When Hiroshi Ichiki was looking at the map, suddenly, loud, loud!
After two muffled sounds, the earth suddenly fell into a pale pale. Hiroshi Ichimu was stunned by the sudden flare. Before he could react, a gunshot sounded, and half of Ichimu's head was blown up. The tattered combat cap flew to the side, and the sergeant who was preparing for the raincoat was splattered with blood and brains.
The photo taken by Hiroshi Ichiki the moment he stepped onto the Xiangjiang Bridge became his last photo!
Before the Japanese army's enemy attack was launched, the American-made 105-meter sharp high-explosive grenade fell from the sky, extending less than fifty meters from the front of the bridge to the highlands on the north bank of the Xiangjiang River, all the area was as bright as fire trees and silver flowers!
The field artillery battalion was organized into two battalions and also entered the artillery sequence. The shrapnel of the ground was free to harvest the lives of Japanese soldiers. The Japanese army was shaking and wishing to insert their heads into the soil to seek a safe place. The two battalions of Japanese troops followed up were baptized by artillery fire while running at high speed.
Sun Mingyu, the chief of staff of the 10th Army, came to assist in the formation, was already shocked by this long-planned so-called saturated artillery attack. He has been in the army for so many years. He never thought of using such fierce artillery fire to suppress it in such a narrow unit area! Thus, he can achieve the goal of annihilation of the enemy?
Sun Mingyu knew that he could not learn Lu Long's tactics. It should be that their 10th Army did not have so many artillery artillery, especially as the main force, 24 American 105-meter howitzers. Even if the 10th Army had so many heavy artillery artillery, he could not learn it. In his eyes, Lu Long and Zhang Wei were just prodigal sons. If he knew that the real heavy artillery had not been opened yet, he would not know what expression would have been.
Only then did Sun Mingyu truly understand. No wonder the first mechanized military and local officers and soldiers were still able to chat and laugh when they faced the Japanese. Here, I couldn’t feel the feeling of the military troops being in a terrifying enemy. The most common thing about the first mechanized military officers and soldiers was to do something after fighting this battle.
Sun Mingyu enviously was the infantry detachment of the First Mechanized Army. The young men who were preparing to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army from the first day of entering the position. When they saw the Japanese in artillery fire or flying and annihilation, they found out that after each battle of the First Mechanized Army, they were awarded a special commemorative medal of the Military Commission. After the battle, they were awarded a special commemorative medal of the Military Commission. They conquered enemy positions. Infantry exploded enemy tanks, artillery, and destroyed enemy aircraft on the ground. They participated in hand-to-hand combat. They would be awarded a silver medal of land representing various qualifications. The most popular place among infantry is the "hand-to-hand combat" commemorative medal of the two bayonets to divide the sun's ground! It is a symbol of the place where bravery has been tested!
Every infantry felt extremely proud and proud of having it. The powerful and rapid firepower of the First Mechanized Army made the Japanese army less and less chances of assaulting to the front of the battlefield. Therefore, this commemorative medal is generally regarded as a sign of the transition from a rookie to an old bird.
Although he is not a political publicity officer, Sun Mingyu can also appreciate the great effect these small commemorative medals can bring to the soldiers.
When the artillery fire stopped, the battle on the north bank came to an end! Lu Long had ordered the vanguard search squad to prepare to clean the battlefield. The Japanese field artillery gang on the other side had not even had a shot. The Japanese army was probably shocked by the overwhelming artillery fire.
Sun Mingyu, the advance team of the Hua Army, was naturally very relieved to defend the north bank of the Xiangjiang River. What was wrong with him here? Because the battle was so beautiful, the Japanese army was solved with just one shot of artillery fire.
Sun Mingyu decided to return to the military headquarters because he was no longer needed here. The battle in the west of the city was still in full swing. The artillery group in the city also began to divert its firepower and began to provide artillery support to the 10th Preparatory Division of the 10th Army, which was defending the west of the city.
Although Lulong City North won seemingly extremely relaxed, no one knew that he had consumed a base of ammunition at once, accounting for one-sixth of the ammunition stored. This was only the first night of the battle, and this tactic of pre-ammunition fire can only be implemented once, because the Japanese army that suffered heavy losses will definitely reduce the number of internal teams per unit area, so after the easy first battle, the arduous battle just began.
The command center of the 10th Division was located outside the city, because the main core of its defensive position was in Zhangjiashan. The 116th Division of the Japanese army was aimed at this point. As soon as Yan Yongwang came on the field, he planned to give the Hengyang defenders a tactic that shocked the entire line. He sought a breakthrough. The "point" that could shock the Chinese defenders in the west of the city was naturally Zhangjiashan.
The fierce artillery fire in the castle made Ionaowang feel a little uneasy, but he did not call Sakuma to ask, because he knew Sakuma's personality and he was very disgusted with outsiders' fingers at his tactical arrangements.
After receiving Zhang Wei's call, Ge Xiancai, the commander of the 10th Division, was about to contact Zhangjiashan's 30th, to ask if the gunfire support was needed. Before the phone was about to be reached, the shells flew through the night sky, and the explosions in Zhangjiashan were heard.
Ge Xian asked for a few phone calls before he could get to the 30th Regiment's headquarters and found his chief of staff Xing>I knew that it turned out that the artillery of the First Mechanized Army had already pulled the telephone line to the frontier position of Zhangjiashan, and the artillery observation team also dispatched two.
Give the "military-level" to the first level of the battalion? This was Ge Xiancai's first experience. He felt that he had been bypassed by someone, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
The main force of the 116th Division of the Japanese army attacking Zhangjiashan quickly retreated with the support of dense artillery fire. In response to artillery fire from outside the range, Yan Yongwang clenched his fists and stared at Hengyang City in the night.
The two infantry brigades under their division were not careful to attack the cargo yard of the west railway station of the city. The attacking Japanese troops were attacked by the 3rd Army of the defenders. The two Japanese brigades retreated at dawn after more than 400 casualties.
After dawn, Sakuma Yuren and Ionaowang did not speak after meeting each other. Even if they didn't say anything, they knew each other's mutual experience. The losses of the 68th Division were much greater than that of Sakuma Yuren. He had a total of three brigades in the attack last night. Now the division's corps captains and brigades were frightened when they mentioned attacking the bridgehead on the north bank of the Xiangjiang Bridge.
In contrast, although the 116th Division attacked Zhangjiashan and the railway station freight yard were both defeated, the losses were limited, and Yan Yongwang could still accept the casualties of more than 700 people.
On the 8 am on the 23rd, Sakuma and Iwanagao decided to launch a general attack again at all costs. Before the general attack, Sakumama took the division chief of staff, Colonel Saburo Harada and the combat staff of the Matsuura, to Huangshaling to inspect the enemy situation.
Logically speaking, Sakuma, as the commander of the division, should not appear at the frontline front positions, and especially not within the enemy's artillery range. However, due to Sakuma's hasty deployment last night, the three most powerful infantry brigades under the division were all shot dead by the Chinese team. For a time, the morale of the division was greatly affected, and it also made Sakuma realize that the Xiangjiang Bridge was a fire trap set by the Chinese army. It was a brave act to go to the tiger mountain, but it was a stupid act to know that there was a tiger in the mountain and that it was a stupid act to go to the tiger mountain for the second time.
Sakuma considers himself an excellent tactician, and it is enough for him to make such a low-level mistake once, so he chose the main attack direction of Huangshaling.
Bai Tianlin, the commander of the 190 mortar company at the age of 24, graduated from the 16th phase of the Huangpu Artillery Department. His skills are superb. After seeing this Japanese army, Bai Tianlin confirmed that the Japanese army was probably a senior officer who came to observe the terrain, so he immediately calculated the coordinates of the Japanese army. What made him angry was that the Japanese army was actually on the edge of the range of his mortar.
