Chapter 675 The Japanese Army is Stubborn
The straight-line distance of the Kuoqi Detachment is four kilometers away from the area where the Guoqi Detachment is located, and there are mountains in the middle. Although the explosion here is so hot that it is shocking to make the Japanese army feel dizzy, it is not easy to just rely on sound waves to transmit it.
Moreover, even if Kurosaki heard the "boom" sound here, he would never think that there was a fierce battle here even if he could not receive the radio waves on the station.
And even if there is a battle, so what?
The reason why this Japanese major general divided his army into three groups was not a decision made by slap in his forehead.
Before dividing the troops, Guoqi fully estimated the strength of the Chinese army, at most two or three thousand people. His strength was equal to his armies, and his heavy firepower was far better than his opponents. As long as he could entangle him, the Chinese would be unable to escape when the other two armies arrived.
Guoqi was stunned, but he never expected that the Chinese people gave him a trick, "You surround me, I rush your aid." The Chinese soldiers actually wanted to wipe out his army all the way.
At this moment, Guoqi, who was in Qinglongling Village, looked quite relaxed. The three infantry squadrons had already taken turns to attack three times. The Chinese, that is, the light firearms, were very powerful, and there was extremely lack of heavy weapons.
Therefore, now it is basically artillery, with the 6 mountain cannons and 10 infantry cannons carrying blowing the mountain to shattering.
Maybe even if you don’t have to wait until Takeuchi Yunshan arrives, the Chinese army on the mountain will be almost wiped out by 16 artillery pieces.
That was really because Kurosaki took it too much.
The reason why Leng Feng chose Qinglongling Village as the blocking place was that Qinglongling Village had obvious geographical advantages, and the second was that Qinglongling Village itself was the structure.
Qinglongling Village, a small village hanging on the mountain, covers an area of only 0.3 square kilometers, but it is definitely an iron walnut.
The small village not only has stone walls, which are nearly one meter thick, but also has a trench around the entire village outside the village wall. Moreover, the houses in the village are also made of stone walls, which are extremely sturdy.
If you cut off the big trees covering the village, you will find that this is like a small castle built on a mountain.
Leng Feng asked the elderly in the village and found out that more than a hundred years ago, this was the nest of a nest of a bunker in the mountains of southern Anhui, and the village walls and trenches were built by bandits.
In that era when cold weapons were the main ones, standing behind the village walls, shooting arrows on enemies falling into trenches of two meters deep and three meters wide was a massacre.
It is said that the officers and soldiers used nearly 5,000 people, and more than half of the casualties were considered to have wiped out the bandits of only more than 500 people. Because they were all stone buildings, the officers and soldiers who had finished suppressing the bandits were too lazy to demolish them. Then the ancestors of Qinglongling Village built villages on the ruins of this bandit nest.
There are many bandits in the mountains. The villagers will not abandon these village walls and trenches that can ensure their safety. They have maintained and repaired them all year round. In more than a hundred years, they have protected the villagers at least dozens of times.
Unexpectedly, this time, I used it again.
Although the Japanese army's artillery fire was sharp, from the outside, the smoke of gunpowder rose very fiercely. In fact, the elderly and soldiers were either hiding in the trenches or behind the walls of the village, and the casualties were far less than what the Japanese army imagined.
The 16 Japanese artillery fired for an hour, and more than a dozen stone houses in the village were damaged, but the casualties did not exceed 20 people. The 70-caliber 92 infantry cannon and the 75-caliber mountain cannon could not blow the village wall two meters high and one meter thick.
Of course, this has to do with the insufficient caliber of the Japanese guns and the number of guns. If the four 105 howitzers were still there, the small village would have been washed away this time. No matter how strong the stone house is, it cannot withstand the bombardment of howitzers weighing 18 kilograms.
Therefore, Leng Feng, who had these reliances, was not worried about the "small cannons" used by the Japanese army in front of him. What he was most worried about was the Japanese aircraft. In front of the heavy bombs dropped by the fleet, these were like paper.
Fortunately, this is China's territory, and God is standing on the side of the Chinese.
The Songhu area is filled with fog, let alone bombers, even light reconnaissance planes cannot take off.
Kwanzaki relied on bombardment of Chinese mountain villages, while Takeuchi Yunshan was bombarded with explosives. After all, it seems that neither China nor Japan took advantage.
However, the Japanese army in the valley was not as lucky as Tong Yi. Leng Feng's army, with trenches and stone walls to stop and hide, and they were bombed and beaten.
100 "conscienceless cannons" were shot out at least 500 explosive packs in less than 3 minutes. The 3,000-meter-long valley can almost reach an average of 6 meters per valley, which means that the valley is spacious enough, with a narrow place of 200 meters and a wide place of 300 meters. Otherwise, the 2,000 Japanese troops entering the valley would be buried by the surging air waves.
However, the actual situation is that although the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, the wide terrain still gave more people a chance to survive.
The Japanese army killed and injured by the bombing did not exceed 600, and nearly 1,500 Japanese troops still maintained their combat effectiveness.
However, although this disappointed Tang Dao, it was within a range he could accept. For the attack formation he arranged, using explosives to pack a large amount of damage to the Japanese army was just one of them. The most important thing was to disrupt the Japanese army's system and greatly reduce its combat effectiveness.
To put it bluntly, it means that the soldiers cannot find generals and generals cannot find soldiers. No matter how many troops there are, there will be no more combat power left.
Tang Dao did not underestimate the strength of the Japanese army, but the reaction made him look at him again.
These Japanese infantrymen who had received military training in Japan for at least one year and fought in North China for two months were very powerful. Under such fierce attacks, most of them did not blindly run into the field.
After experiencing the initial panic, under the constraints of the squadron leader and the squadron leader, he searched for cover to hide along the mountain road, and also launched a counterattack on the mountain.
His tenacious willpower and high tactical qualities are representatives of the elite infantry of this era.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! However, since Tang Dao dared to ambush the Japanese army with almost the same force as him under such terrain, how could he easily give the Japanese army a chance to counterattack?
The granite landform in the mountainous areas of southern Anhui is particularly obvious here. The mountains on both sides are almost entire large stones. After tens of millions of years of weathering, soil gradually emerges and plants grow.
The lower part of the mountain is mostly bare stone rocks, and even the weeds are dotted. If people want to climb on it, it is only one aspect that makes it difficult to move, and the goal is even more obvious.
Any Japanese infantry who dared to climb up the mountain became the key target of attacks for the independent battalion soldiers on the mountain positions.
Within five minutes, there were no less than a hundred Japanese killed on the counterattack.
Ten minutes later, Takeuchi Yunshan's military orders were probably also arrived everywhere. The Japanese invaders no longer blindly counterattacked upwards. Instead, they organized infantry squadrons and infantry squadrons, using individual engineers carried by individual soldiers to build positions frantically. The grenade launchers carried by the army continued to fire grenades at the fire point on the mountain to cover their infantry.
This is the rhythm of trying to stick to the waiting pace.
Lei Xiong and others who were observing all this on the position frowned.
The "Conscienceless Cannon" has already implemented the scheduled tactics to the extreme. Hundreds of Japanese corpses lying in the valley can almost declare that their ambush has been a great success.
If they withdraw now, hundreds of military achievements will be enough for the chief officers in Jinling to issue a blank check.
But Tang Dao's tactics are not only that, but what he wants is to completely destroy the Guoqi Detachment, or even wipe out the entire body.
But obviously, the strength of the Japanese army in the valley exceeded their estimates, and the loss was so heavy that it could still maintain a certain system.
If they were allowed to build fortifications in the valley, the two sides fought a protracted war, and by the arrival of the Japanese air support, the combat losses that had already been made by the independent battalion would exceed everyone's imagination.
Especially when the Japanese grenade launcher began to fight back.
As many as dozens of grenade launchers used the smoke of explosives to attack the mountain, causing certain casualties to the attacking troops. Two heavy machine gun teams were attacked by the grenade launchers because they were too devoted. Not only were the team members either sacrificed or seriously injured, but even the heavy machine guns were blown up.
Lei Xiong's lips were pursed tightly. If it weren't for the cold face of Tang Dao, the supreme commander, and had no intention of changing his tactics, he would even suggest that Tang Dao launch a charge, and the entire army should use bayonets and bayonets to attack the tenacious opponent in front of him.
But in that case, the damage to the war will be too big and unacceptable.
There are more than 1,800 people here, and I don’t know how many people can see the sunset.
