Chapter 25 Capture Cangshan (1)
When Cheng Jiaji was in a telescope, he clearly saw the positions of the Japanese troops who were deployed on this small hill called Tudishan, which were called Tudishan. He suddenly discovered that the terrain of Tudishan was much easier to defend and difficult to attack than that of Li Jiapo in "Bright Sword".
There are cliffs 30 to 40 meters high on both sides of the left and right sides of the Land Mountain. Although the back slope can be reached, there is only a small path. You can't let the troops line up and serve as a living target for the Japanese!
The frontal attack can be used to distribute the troops of two companies at most, but the enemy you have to face is more than 200 Japanese troops with extremely strong firepower and strong fortifications. Two companies and two companies are in charge, and no one can do such stupid things.
Originally, Cheng Jiaji felt that he could learn from Commander Li in "Bright Sword" and use it to dig the earth and dig forward under the cover of artillery fire. This method could allow the independent 100 brigades to advance to a place closer to the Japanese position. Unfortunately, the Japanese army in this place had a cover on the head. Not to mention grenades, even the mortar shells could not be penetrated. It could not destroy the opponent's firepower point, so the closer the charge starting line is to the opponent, the faster the casualties of his family would be.
Sometimes war is not a brave game, not to mention that Cheng Jiaji knew that in 1938, he went to the Japanese to shoot more than a single soldier, which was something that idiots could do.
In short, this land mountain is not an ordinary trouble.
Of course, if the Independent 100 Brigade fought to hurt the vitality of the troops and took out all the troops to take turns to attack them from the front and back, perhaps after taking a heavy price, he could take this high ground in a short time at least three or four times the price of the Japanese army.
"Or, use a battalion and an artillery company to watch the squadron, and concentrate the main force of the brigade to take Lu Zuo first. Anyway, the Japanese from this mountain are also coming down." This was the first time Wen Songyuan said softly in front of everyone. No matter how brave he was, he could see that the Japanese stronghold could not be taken down by just killing death. But his strategic level was really average, so someone immediately objected.
"No, I won't talk about the attacks of the Japanese on both sides. Even when our army launched an attack on Lu Zuo, this group of Japanese attacked us with artillery fire from the Land Mountain, and that wouldn't be able to stand it. The distance between this mountain and Lu Zuo Town is too close. If you don't take it down, these more than 200 well-equipped Japanese can cause some trouble for us at any time. That would be too passive." Gao Shiying's more than ten years of combat experience told him that the troops were the most vulnerable when they were fighting without support. If they really made the Japanese attack on the front and back, the days of the army were still short, and basically no independent 100th brigade that had fought in a total passive adversity would be very likely to collapse.
Although the 100 Independent Brigade has reached its peak, the achievements in fighting against the Japanese have been extremely brilliant. However, the battlefield is the most unpredictable place in the world. The invincible army at the last moment and the defeat of the next moment has not happened in the history of war.
"If a suicide squad was organized to climb up from the cliffs on both sides." Yu Jun, the general who was defeated, didn't want to say anything more. However, the bodies of the brothers who had just fallen in the failed attack that had just been ignited in his heart made him unable to stay in this matter.
Listening to the suggestions of his subordinates, Cheng Jiaji felt even more annoyed. In fact, everyone knew very well that for the strong and strong troops (relative to the areas where they were to be defended, they would either send troops to monitor them and ignore them for the time being. Or they would have to spend a lot of money to attack.
"If I had enough medicine in my hand, just like the British in the First World War blowing up a German division, they would blow the Japanese into the sky. Medicine?!" Thinking of this, Cheng Jiaji had an idea in his mind, and he brought his subordinates back to the temporary brigade headquarters located outside Luzuo Town.
At 5 a.m. on April 8, the tent of the temporary brigade of the Independent One Hundred Brigade.
"Host, Xu Shenzun came and called us again and asked us what we could win Lu Zuo." Qiu Shaoyan was already the major radio director of the Independent 100 Brigade at this time.
"I understand, you go down." Cheng Jiaji waved his hand after receiving the telegram, signaling Qiu Shaoyan to avoid it.
"Xu Shenzuo urged me again." Cheng Jiaji didn't even have to read the telegram and knew the content. He was nothing more than urging himself to take down Lu Zuo as soon as possible and strive to advance to the city of Cangshan at noon today.
"Maybe the Twentieth Legion couldn't bear it anymore." Seeing that the atmosphere in the tent was as uncomfortable as the funeral scene, Gao Shiying said something off-topic to ease it.
He really made it happen. After a night of fierce fighting, the Twentieth Legion was a little overwhelmed. Not counting the casualties of ordinary soldiers, the brigade commander alone killed one seriously injured two, and the intermediate officer suffered countless losses. The commander of the Twentieth Legion was so anxious that he could no longer care about the feelings of his superiors and subordinates and directly called reinforcements to Wuhan.
In this bloody battle that was stirred up, the Japanese could not get there and were in a row of trouble.
Both sides could not afford the huge casualties of such suicide battles, but the troops were all mixed together, and when the side relaxed a little, their own troops would collapse.
So both sides struggled to support and complained to reinforcements.
After receiving the telegram, the Chairman put a lot of pressure on the commander-in-chief of the war zone commander. But at present, only the 20,000 people under Xu Shenzuo were mobile forces. However, the attacking detachment could only withdraw from the Japanese army that had been bound by occupying Cangshan City and then defeating the Second Army at least forcing the retreating of Taierzhuang.
Under such circumstances, Xu Shenzu sent two urgent telegrams in one hour to urge Cheng Jiaji to take Lu Zuo as soon as possible, which is understandable.
"That's it. The 200th Regiment of the 100th Independent Brigade was responsible for capturing the Tudishan Mountain, and the 174th Brigade attacked Luzuo. The 199th Regiment of the 100th Independent Brigade (with a battalion) blocked the retreat of the Japanese army on the Tudishan Mountain, and launched a restraining attack from the back mountain to ensure the attack of the 174th Brigade."
No one among the officers of the 174th Brigade in the tent, including Cheng Jiaji's old boss Chang Jing.
They all understood that on the surface, the attack arrangement was the advantage of the Independent 100 Brigade. The 174th Brigade was allowed to deal with the 5600 Japanese troops in Luzuo Town, while the Independent 100 Brigade only had to deal with the 200 Japanese troops on Tutushan. But in fact, all the hard work in this battle was tiring, and the Independent 100 Brigade was all included. The Independent 100 Brigade not only wanted to take down the strong Japanese stronghold of Tudishan, but also block the firepower of the two Japanese troops in the town at the foot of the mountain. The burden was much heavier than the 174th Brigade.
The officers of the Independent One Hundred Brigade had nothing to say when Cheng Jiaji had made up his mind, so they had nothing to say, so they had to implement it.
After seeing everyone off, Cheng Jiaji stayed alone in the tent and pondered.
'Is the final plan to attack the Tudishan stronghold a bit too rude? It is not easy to just dig traffic trenches near the enemy stronghold. It is even more certain to use a large zha medicine bag to blow up the Japanese stronghold walls. If it fails, the losses of the 200 regiments will be too great. Is this a bit unfair to Wen Songyuan, a man who is wholeheartedly dedicated to his own man? It is best to carry out this task by Yu Juncai who is capable and capable. Just seeing that Yu Juncai just said nothing at the meeting, he knew that he didn't want to take on this task. If Wen Songyuan had not taken the initiative to invite Ying, his plan would have been aborted!'
"Boss Cheng, don't worry, this land temple is not more solid than the Japanese Iron Tortoise. Even if I hit my head, I would knock that small temple down."
Wen Songyuan ran to the tent again at some point and said in a slight manner when he saw Cheng Jiaji like this.
Cheng Jiaji's heart was like a mirror. Wen Songyuan, who was so thick and detailed, came to comfort himself. At this moment, Cheng Jiaji's heart made Wen Songyuan's words warm.
This is my brother! Wen Songyuan is the most reliable at the critical moment.
"Wen Lao Er, I will take the guard company up the mountain to support you." Cheng Jiaji said in his heart at this moment, "Whoever is bleeding with me today will be my brother."
"This war is over, and it is time to clean the Independent One Hundred Brigades to "indoor hygiene". It is time for someone to always want to have a small group to solve the problem." When Wen Songyuan held hands and walked out of the tent together, such an idea that he was very surprised suddenly popped up in Cheng Jiaji's mind.
