Chapter 1512 Codenamed ‘Heixue’!(1/2)
It's night!
The 116th Japanese Division was raided at the Laoyashan Field Hospital, 10 kilometers south of Hengyang City!
The 3rd Squadron of the 116th Division, which was responsible for the defense of the field hospital, was forced to generate electricity and ask for help from the division headquarters in the third minute after the battle began.
The firepower of the Chinese who infiltrated the area was too fierce. Not only were there a large number of submachine guns and light machine guns, but there were even three 12.7mm heavy machine guns and a small number of mortars.
The simple fortifications built by the infantry squadron on the mountain could not resist the continuous attack of this heavy weapon.
Iron Aoi Wang was shocked and angry, and immediately sent the 133rd Infantry Regiment, which was resting and recuperating, to support him.
The main reason why the 133 Infantry Regiment, which has been crippled, is naturally the nearest position of the infantry corps is less than 2 kilometers away from the field hospital. In addition, after these 20 days, the 133 Infantry Regiment, which has only hundreds of infantrymen, has received a military supplement and has re-established a fully organized infantry brigade and 3 infantry squadrons.
Not to mention that the 133 infantry corps with nearly 2,000 people have already come out in full swing, even if an infantry brigade is sent, it can also surround this group of bold Chinese people.
But Colonel Kurose Ichihei, the captain of the 133 Infantry Regiment, who had fallen a lot in Huangchaling, decided to fight the rabbit after receiving the order and attack with all his strength.
After the battle at Huangchaling, Kurose Ichihei had used the lives of 3,000 imperial officers and soldiers to test the equipment and actual combat level of the Four-Road Regiment, and had long regarded the Four-Road Regiment as a lifelong enemy.
The possibility of this small group of Chinese troops that sneaked out of Hengyang's Chinese position is more than 80%. If the troops are not strong enough, he feels a little guilty.
Moreover, the six infantry squadrons he personally led, plus a heavy machine gun squadron and an infantry artillery squadron, totaling 1,500 people, accounting for 70% of the new recruits.
I have to say that the so-called "one mistake can lead to wisdom" is already a very wise person.
However, he still underestimated his opponent and was cheated by his colleagues. The captain of the escort squadron who called the division headquarters for help did not explain his predicament at that time too clearly because of the urgent time.
The Chinese were not just attacking fiercely with fierce firepower, but before the attack, they had already infiltrated and assassinated his defense line in the dark. The defense line of the entire guard squadron was already full of holes like a sieve before the Chinese used mortars and 12.7mm heavy machine guns to bombard them.
The fact is that after the Japanese Army captain sent a telegram for help in horror, a team of five Chinese officers and soldiers had already rushed to the vicinity of his command center and threw two explosion grenades into the simple semi-underground bunker.
That is a 0.8-kg blasting grenade specially developed by the Taihang Army Factory, which is specially used for individual infantry soldiers to blast armor and fixed targets. The 0.4 kg "cyclone explosive" charge is enough to lift a bunker.
Cao Yingchong, who was responsible for this position, did not use regular field tactics, suppressed the enemy with MG42 and 12.7mm heavy machine guns, and then slowly approached with infantry. Instead, he used firepower to attract the Japanese and used strong attacks to attack the loopholes in the Japanese defense line that the individual soldiers had already cleared out before, and personally led the firepower team to directly penetrate the Japanese defense line.
He made great gains in this bold breakthrough. The highest commander of the field hospital defense of the 116th Division was blown into pieces in this raid, resulting in the remaining more than a hundred Japanese infantry who completely lost unified command.
But what is even more fatal is that whether it is Lieutenant General Iwaaeon who is in charge of the division headquarters or Colonel Kurose Ichihei who is rushing to the field hospital with his soldiers, he does not know that the battle in the field hospital has already been in a one-sided state.
Tang Dao did not kill a Japanese sniper and did this sudden attack on a whim.
A few days ago, during the Japanese bombing, not only were eight female guards and three military doctors sacrificed on the spot in the field hospital led by Dan Tai Mingyue, but also seven wounded soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the Four Army Regiment, artillery battalion, reconnaissance company, and mountain infantry company also died in the bombing.
In fact, Tang Dao is usually very law-abiding, and soldiers are deadly killed on the battlefield. Comrades and subordinates died in the battle between the two armies. Tang Dao is more sad and less angry.
But the soldier has fulfilled his duties and lost his life while he was healing in the hospital, which is not something Tang Dao can accept.
In the afternoon of that day, Tang Dao asked Gu Xishui and Lu Sanjiang to formulate a retaliation plan.
The so-called "it's impolite to come but not come." The Japanese bombed my field hospital, and the target of revenge must be the hospital.
For several consecutive days, under the leadership of Lu Sanjiang, the reconnaissance company sent 8 groups of people to sneak out of their positions, crossed the river from the Steamed Water Defense Line, and reconnaissed behind the Japanese defense line, and finally found the location of its field hospital in Laoyashan.
The field hospital of a division has limited capacity, and there would have been no more than 2,000 wounded soldiers here, but the fact is that this field hospital accommodated at least 4,000 people, which is more than twice the maximum capacity of its maximum capacity to accommodate wounded soldiers.
This also led to the rapid expansion of the field hospital's scale, and the defense line of a 220-class infantry squadron was forced to be extremely wide.
Even so, the reconnaissance company still used two days and two nights to record the Japanese defense line in all aspects, and based on the terrain maps of previous reconnaissance, it drew extremely detailed maps of Japanese sentinels, firepower, etc.
Tang Dao gave the reconnaissance company and the mountain infantry company two days, allowing the officers and soldiers of the two companies to familiarize themselves with the Japanese checkpoints, firepower and other locations. It was not until they got to know each other that they launched this revenge battle code-named "Heixue".
The reconnaissance company launched a single-soldier or double-squad assassination attack on the Japanese defense line at 2 a.m. It was not until 15 minutes later that a Japanese army who was stabbed into the chest by the Triangle Army and pretended to be dead at the last moment of their lives alarmed the Japanese defenders.
The reconnaissance company and the mountain infantry company that had been waiting for a long time before launching a full-scale attack on the defense line of the Japanese field hospital.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Japanese Army Captain, who was so overwhelmed by the crazy firepower that he could not raise his head, did not know at all when he generated electricity to the division headquarters. His defense line would be fully broken in 2 minutes.
In the face of the full attack of elite infantry in the Four Routes who had been preparing for more than 300 days, the defense line of the field hospital of the 116th Division was easily torn to pieces like an egg shell.
The Japanese army had very few female medical staff, which also alleviated the guilt of the elite troops of the Four-Royal Group who were ordered to take revenge.
They used the easiest way, either throwing explosives in the wounded shed, or putting mustard seed gas seized from the Japanese army and detonating it.
In short, after breaking through the defense line, staying in the field hospital for no more than 10 minutes, 300 elite soldiers ravaged this area like a group of crazy bison, and then left without any nostalgia.
Attacking the field hospital was just the first step in the Black Snow plan, and there was a second wave of combat waiting for them.
According to the analysis of the areas where various Japanese troops are located, the Japanese army coming to aid must be the closest place to the field hospital belonging to the rest Japanese army.
After reconnaissance, the group of Japanese troops were the 133 Infantry Regiment that had been fighting with the 1st Battalion for several days in Huangchaling. They also shed a lot of blood from the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment. It would be just right to kill them again.
Fighting grass and catching rabbits has always been the best at Tang Tuanzu.
The 133 Infantry Regiment was actually not slow. On such a dark night, it took them only 3 minutes to get the order to reorganize the troops. The fully armed soldiers ran forward with flashlights, and in just 6 minutes, they ran more than half.
However, it can be proved that running too fast is not necessarily a good thing if you run too fast.
Yes, although Yan Barn Kong was just a recruit, he had experienced several battles in the Miluo River, Tanzhou and Hengyang City in succession, and was already considered a veteran who had experienced the war.
The 116th Division currently lacks veterans, so Yan Barn Kong, a second-class private, actually served as the deputy squad leader in the past.
The deputy captain of Yangu, who survived after the war, concluded this way: "The defeat of the wing is closely related to the lack of necessary marching reconnaissance only considering speed."
This sentence directly points to Colonel Heichi Kurose who personally led the marching team. If it weren't normal, no one would dare to say it. Not to mention that the small second-class private of the Salt Barn Kong, even a captain of the army, would have to be killed by the Japanese colonel.
But Salt Barn Kong actually said it straight away. It was not until Salt Barn Kong, who was already old sixty years later, that he could tell the real reason why he was so bold.
After continuous defeat, he was already discouraged when he watched his old comrades-in-arms and new comrades-in-arms die. He didn't want to continue on this battlefield at all, and would even rather die.
The second-class private simply used public criticism of the wing's supreme commander, whether he was sent to the military court or was continued to be treated as a front-line cannon fodder to the battlefield, he admitted it.
The unlucky but extremely lucky Japanese Private did not know that the person he accused was actually shaking the spot, and the division headquarters was in a hurry to be responsible for this battle.
The Japanese Private's "righteousness" pointed out a clear way for the anxious Lieutenant General Iwasaki.
What else is more appropriate to make the Colonel-level dead ghost but blame?
The lucky unlucky Lieutenant, Salt Barn, was not only not killed, but was promoted to a squad leader on the front line, directly crossing the Senior Lieutenant and Chief Cao, becoming a sergeant, and seeing that he could become a second lieutenant in the next step.
However, the Salt Barn Air Force, which went against his wishes, was not happy at all.
Because, the 133 Infantry Regiment took 20 days to supplement it, and it was once again severely damaged and damaged.
The recruits who were supplemented died and they died. There was also a supplementary division with a number of up to 20,000 people on the way to Hengyang, but the few veterans died again in this battle.
An elite corps originally known as the "Blade-tip" infantry corps of the 116th Division, after dawn, there were only 5 lieutenants and 21 chief Cao, and there were no grassroots backbone like the sergeant, and there was no assistant. What kind of painful experience was this?
It turned out that the 133 Infantry Regiment lacked necessary marching reconnaissance due to its rush to the battlefield, resulting in an infantry squadron as a vanguard plunging into the minefield set up in advance by the reconnaissance company of the Four Regiment.
That was the minefield that was set up by more than 100 scouts after arriving at 12 o'clock and spent nearly an hour on the road where the Japanese army would inevitably come to support.
The sight is extremely poor at night, and many infantry thunders do not need to be carefully buried. They are considered careful when simply covering them with soil. If there are many, just find a pile of dead grass and put it in it.
But this extremely simple minefield has become a nightmare for the 133 Infantry Regiment!
Because, most of them are recruits. Three months of recruit training have taught them to obey military orders, taught them to climb over obstacles, and taught them to shoot. There are many talented people who can score ten rings 200 meters away.
But the recruits have never seen blood and have never experienced death before their eyes!
A "boom!" explosion sounded, and the two leading Japanese soldiers flew up in the smoke, and blood sprinkled on the soldiers following behind.
The frightened Japanese infantry quickly ran to the fields on both sides of the road and fell down!
Unfortunately, it was also a minefield. Landmines that were stepped on by the recruits continued to explode. The screams and explosions became the main theme of this area, making the Japanese veterans desperately roar "Don't move, just lie down!" warnings seem so weak.
The screams and death of their companions collapsed more than 100 new recruits. Some of them ran to the fields on both sides, while others turned around and ran backward.
People were group animals. Seeing the smoke rolling in front of them and screaming, dozens of colleagues rushed towards them frantically, and the advance queue of the Japanese main force was immediately in chaos.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this critical moment, the six MG42 machine guns that were ambushed 480 meters away from the Japanese army began to roar.
It was the Longyan Platoon of the Mountain Infantry Company and the Sixth Platoon of the Reconnaissance Company of Shen Laoliu, two platoon leaders who were praised as the sharp knife platoon by their respective companies. They both placed the MG42 machine gun with the most fierce firepower under their command on both wings of the ambush area to form cross fire.
The 6 MG42 with full firepower was like a pair of scissors composed of metal bullet flow, harvesting back and forth in the long queue of the Japanese army.
If the Japanese vanguard who had accidentally crashed into the minefield before was just in a state of disintegration, then with the 6 "widow-making machines" fired at full speed, the recruits of the 133 Infantry Regiment directly bombed the battalion.
The team leader is the team leader, and no one can speak well. They rushed towards the back in a mess, and they all wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible.
Even the 133 Infantry Regiment with more than 1,500 troops did not organize a decent counterattack in at least 30 seconds.
Not to mention the situation that Colonel Heiichi Kurose was confused, even Shen Laoliu and Longyan, 300 meters away, were stunned.
They fought many wars with the Japanese, and had seen all kinds of Japanese, including those who were brave, those who were crazy, those who were cunning, those who were crazy, and those who were crazy, but this was the first time they saw this.
Could it be that these are not genuine Japanese devils, but a group of two Japanese devils?
To be honest, only some puppet troops on the battlefield in North China can match it as the combat power shown by the Japanese at this time.
Of course, the two platoon leaders were also people with extremely rich experience on the battlefield. When they saw the movement of the Japanese army, they immediately fired a flare, blew a charge, and used two rows of troops to attack the Japanese army.
Although this violated the tactical plan formulated before the war, it accelerated the defeat of the 133 Infantry Regiment, which was mainly recruits.
The tactical plan originally formulated by Gu Xishui was that two elite infantry platoons, Longyan and Shen Laoliu, rely on minefields to drag the Japanese army, wait for the other four platoons that destroyed the field hospital to arrive, and then join forces to attack the Japanese army, and then evacuate in the direction of steam at around 3 a.m.
At that time, the 2nd Battalion and the Mountain Cannon Company will be responsible for supporting the other side of the river.
Based on the pre-war reconnaissance of the 133 Infantry Regiment, Tang Dao has judged that the combat effectiveness of the 133 Infantry Regiment, which is rebuilt with the supplementary recruits, will not be too strong, but even Tang Dao did not expect that these guys would be so indifferent.
But the two infantrymen were less than 200 people and killed them, which made him, the commander of the Huangchaling front line, not shot him.
This combat plan code-named "Black Blood" cannot be formulated and completed by the Four Lines Regiment, and it was also approved by Fang Xianjue, the supreme commander.
'The real defensive battle is to lead the attack in the defense. Blind defense is not called defense, but passively beaten!' Without Tang Dao's explanation, Fang Xianjue understood the most important core tactical idea of the "Black Snow" tactic proposed by Tang Dao.
