Chapter 858: Completely annihilated!
Of course, Pang Dahai was not afraid of trying to transport the heavy 150-caliber mortars and infantry artillery across the Bi River. The choices of the infantrymen from the Four Regiment crossed the river were almost the same as those of the Japanese army. They took off their clothes and held their clothes and equipment across the river, and then lit a fire to keep warm.
The artillery is equipped with a pack horse. The cannon stand is divided into several parts and put it on the back of the pack horse to transport it. The trouble is that after getting ashore, you must not only warm the people, but also dry the water on the horse. Otherwise, the pack horse will get a cold and get sick.
But these troubles are not a problem compared to wasting hundreds of shells. When they think that the shells that have been brought over with hard along the way will hit the heads of the Japanese who have not run away and have to resist stubbornly, Pan Dahai's face turned gloomy and water will drip out.
In order to ensure that the artillery soldiers who were busy would not waste so much, they personally brought four 150 mortars and four infantry artillery pieces to observe the battlefield and formulated the artillery coordinates.
While the artillery soldiers were busy, the Third and First Battalions and Second Battalions completely completed the encirclement of Takumi Tanaka's remnants.
It was 360 degrees without dead corners. Just five hundred meters away from the position that the Japanese army was desperately constructed, a total of 9 infantry companies and 3 fire support companies formed a huge ring.
The Cavalry Company and the Engineer Platoon led by Yang Xiaoshan have already withdrawn from the battlefield, and cooperated with the baggage company and more than 200 new recruits to start cleaning the battlefield.
All the bloody battles ahead are for the sweetness of this moment!
On the battlefield, in addition to the bloody corpses of the Japanese army, there were also rifles, machine guns, and grenade launchers. Of course, the supreme commander Tang Dao couldn't help but seize them with a smile on his face. Of course, it was still artillery.
The Japanese rapid-fire artillery squadron was wiped out under the 150 mortar artillery fire. Two of the six 37mm rapid-fire cannons were blown into parts, and the other four were overturned by air waves and needed some repairs, but the artillery of the mountain cannon squadron and infantry artillery squadron were intact due to the cavalry's surprise attack, and there was also a considerable number of shell reserves.
This is equivalent to the fact that at a distance of 6,000 meters, the Four-Road Regiment has 8 75-caliber howitzers fire. At a range of 3,000 meters, the Four-Road Regiment has the strength of over 20 artillery large and small, which is closer to 2,000 meters, and there are no less than 50 artillery pieces in total. Although it is not as good as a Japanese artillery corps in total, its firepower strength is not at all.
In other words, if the Japanese want to see the bayonet, Tang Dao will have the confidence to let them see the bayonet before they see the sharpness of the bayonet.
These tasks of cleaning the other two battlefields were left to Zhuang Shi Disperse. Tang Dao, Gong Shaoxun and the three infantry battalions commanders witnessed the final destruction of the 2nd Infantry Regiment with their own eyes.
This time, the infantry did not become the main force.
The main reason is that the excellent civil engineering operations of the Imperial Japanese Army that Takumi Tanaka was looking forward to was not as he imagined. Not only were the remaining personnel under him not very good at digging with engineer shovels, but also the result of the continuous harassment of the Chinese.
As the encirclement was constantly formed, the infantry were naturally not idle. Whether it was grenade launchers or precision shooters, they were constantly launching attacks on Japanese positions.
If you can't even straighten your waist when you work, your work efficiency is obvious. You have finally waited until the trenches can hide someone, and the artillery of the Four Lines Regiment is already in place.
It was an artillery unit that gathered 4 150 mortars, 18 82 mortars and 8 infantry artillery. When he heard the news of seizing 4 intact infantry artillery, Pang Dahai did not ask Tang Dao for instructions. He directly asked the military emergency and received the four infantry artillery that the engineers were pulling.
With the order of Tang Dao, all artillery fired on the Japanese unfinished positions. The 10-minute firepower that Pandahai originally applied for was converted into 20 minutes by Tang Dao.
More than a thousand infantry witnessed a firefeast with their own eyes. Even if they hid 500 meters away, they could feel the heat waves coming and the tremors of the ground. You can imagine how the Japanese army located in the center of the fire cover.
Takumi Nakasa Tanaka died five minutes before the artillery fire. A 21-kilogram shell fell five meters away from him. Even though he had curled up into the trenches, the huge kinetic energy still destroyed the trenches and buried him and several corps commanders in the soil.
At the last moment of his life, Nakasa Nakatsu of the Japanese Army, who was buried alive, would regret his decision to stick to the support. Not only did he become a dead turtle buried in the soil, but he also failed to run away with hundreds of defeated generals and was taken away by the Sixing Group.
Without the protection of the fortifications, almost no one can survive such intense artillery fire.
When the three infantry companies approached the battlefield where artillery had stopped shooting from three directions, the sporadic gunshots on the battlefield were like men with prostate ills, and there were no answers.
But obviously, these resistances were futile. The infantrymen of the Four-Line Regiment, led by the three-three system, simply and roughly first suppressed them with firepower, and then followed the soldiers threw grenades frantically, and the remaining dozen Japanese soldiers were shot dead one after another.
Until, there is no more noise on the battlefield!
On the position, the remaining limbs of the Japanese army could be seen everywhere, just like the Shura hell. The strong smell of blood made the infantrymen of the Four-Road who had just experienced a bloody battle unable to withstand it, and they took out towels to cover their mouths and noses!
"Bastard! The battlefield has not been cleaned yet, who can be sure that no Japanese will survive? I can't even stand the smell, what kind of soldiers?" Lei Xiong, who followed Tang Dao, glanced at his soldiers, especially when he saw that Li Jiujin even had a gas mask on his face, his face was extremely ugly.
"I am ordering that all the captured Japanese troops will be seized in this battle, except for weapons and equipment, 10% of the Japanese personal wealth will be individuals, 20% will be in the company, 20% will be in the battalion headquarters, and 50% will be in the regiment headquarters!" Tang Dao smiled slightly and ordered loudly.
"Long live the ranks!" The soldiers around were filled with joy.
This is great. Without Lei Xiong's reprimand, the soldiers didn't care about the smell and searched for available items on the wreckage of the Japanese army.
Most of the military uniforms are broken, and the soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment who have already had new military uniforms certainly look down on this. The only thing that is useful is the cowhide boots equipped by Japanese infantry. The thing is strong and warm, but it is too heavy and not suitable for long-distance journeys, but it has to be pulled down, right?
Of course, what attracts the soldiers of the Four Lines more is the wealth carried by the Japanese army, which is also a major feature of the Japanese army. The gold and silver utensils that were robbed along the way like to carry them with them. They robbed the Chinese people and were then robbed back, which is not exactly the same as the old Chinese saying: There is reincarnation in the way of heaven!
"As soon as these bastards heard that they had money, their smelly corpses became fragrant." Lei Xiong looked at the soldiers searching for the wreckage of the Japanese army like a group of wolves, and his face was helpless.
"Haha! Brother Lei, sometimes you shouldn't be too harsh. After experiencing a big battle, it's not a good thing for the brothers to get too nervous. It's not a good thing to use search and seizure to let them divert their attention, which is also good!" Tang Dao smiled.
"This time we kill the 2nd Infantry Regiment. I don't know what the old Japanese devil should look like! I think he dares to send another infantry regiment to chase us."
"Haha, regiment, if this old Japanese man Tu Feiyuan dares to send only one infantry regiment, then it would be okay for my four-way regiment to compete with him again, I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage." Gong Shaoxun couldn't help laughing loudly.
Gong Shaoxun was a cautious soldier and had always opposed the war led by Tang Dao at the beginning, but this did not mean that he was timid. When the cavalry attacked two Japanese artillery squadrons, even if Tang Dao did not personally suppress the formation, he would have to issue military orders, and the entire cavalry company advanced, regardless of how many infantry the Japanese still had on the opposite side.
Fortunately, Tang Dao used his troops to mobilize and at the same time hid most of the mortars to paralyze Ishiguro, causing the Japanese artillery to lose the infantry wing protection. The cavalry company wiped out two Japanese artillery squadrons at the cost of losing twelve cavalry in battle.
Compared with the results of the battle, the loss is almost negligible.
At this moment, standing on the last battlefield covered with Japanese corpses, the cautious deputy commander of the lieutenant colonel became a little wild, and he had the urge to fight another battle with the Japanese army.
This is the effect of victory.
This is confidence.
The psychological state that soldiers need most on the battlefield.
More than a decade later, on that ice field, the equipment of Chinese soldiers was at least one era different from the so-called United Nations army, but the courage to sacrifice and the confidence gradually developed after eight years of the Patriotic War made up for the lack of equipment.
"Haha! I don't know what Tu Feiyuan's face looks like now, but I know that he will not send an infantry corps to deliver vegetables to us. I will only give the entire army one hour to clean the battlefield. After an hour, all the troops of the army immediately retreated to the south bank of the Bihe River. Before dark, our regiment will all arrive at the positions near the Yellow River Iron Bridge." Tang Dao looked into the distance, and his smile became even more intense.
"Room, what do you mean..." Lei Xiong was slightly stunned. "We shouldn't block the main force of the 14th Division on the south bank of the Bihe River for a few days, and buy more time for the brothers of the First Army?"
"No need, this battle killed the 2nd Infantry Regiment. The old Japanese man Tu Feiyuan was born in intelligence, and he needed military merit to help him get promoted. Before he could figure out the situation, he would never easily set foot on the battlefield. At least two days would scare him. When he assembled his main force of the 14th Division here, we would have blown up the bridge and told him that he had a slap!" Tang Dao shook his head.
This is Tang Dao's judgment on Tu Feiyuan's personal habits and style. Of course, this is not a few nonsense judgments, but based on several battle examples led by Tu Feiyuan himself.
An intelligence leader who has been doing intelligence work for decades is suspicious by nature and considers every battle very carefully. This is naturally the potential of a wise general. But once a person is smart, he will lose some courage. How many people in this world can be called both wise and brave?
In Tang Dao's mind, the world's famous generals, and those with such qualifications will not exceed one palm. Of course, this will not include the second-rate army general Tu Feiyuan.
In fact, even his so-called wisdom is just because he is cunning enough. He may have cleverness, but his great wisdom is nothing. Otherwise, he would not have become a Class A war criminal after his defeat and eventually become the first unlucky guys to be hanged.
In Xinxiangcheng, the 14th Division Division Headquarters!
"The 2nd Infantry Regiment is all broken from Colonel Ishiguro Masacor! This is impossible, this is impossible. The main force of the Chinese people has fled everywhere. Which army has this strength?" The originally white and pure earthy and round face was like a scholar. She sat on a Chinese-style magistrate chair like a devil, muttering to herself.
The 2nd Infantry Regiment Army had sent several telegrams to the division headquarters before, all of which were requesting reinforcements. It was not until 10 minutes ago that a major staff officer sent a farewell message to the division headquarters.
The reason why the signature is a mere Army Major is that he is already the highest remaining military rank in the 2nd Infantry Regiment.
Before he sent the farewell message, all the 2nd Infantry Regiment, from the wing captain to the infantry captain, had died!
In the room where a wealthy Chinese family temporarily served as the conference room of the 14th Division, in addition to Tu Feiyuan sitting on a chair, there were two Japanese officers, but the two were silent and no one dared to speak.
They followed Tu Feiyuan, the new division commander, for a short time, but they knew very well the insults of his division commander. If anyone provoked him, whether it was a colonel or a major general, it would be said that the emperor would not scold you for being dirty, and the battle mission would always be the most difficult.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This may also be one of the characteristics of this division commander who is from an intelligence background who will soon master the power of the 14th division!
"Sano Jun, do you think that there is a Chinese army in this war zone that has such strength?" Tu Feiyuan, who came to her senses, glanced at his colonel Chief of Staff.
"The previous telegram of the 2nd Infantry Regiment indicated that they had found traces of the Four Lines Regiment, but the Four Lines Regiment was just an infantry regiment after all. With their strength, it was extremely difficult to cause such a heavy blow to our Infantry Regiment. The intelligence showed that the Four Lines Regiment had contact with the enemy First Army a week ago, and the subordinates thought..." Akihi Sano, chief of staff of the 14th Division, quickly replied.
"The First Army? They have been defeated by our division and are now fleeing in several directions. They have no such strength." Tu Feiyuan waved his head. "In the intelligence, an infantry division of the New Eighth Division stationed in Zhengzhou in the First War Zone left Zhengzhou on the eve. Do you know where they are going?"
"There is information that the division is stationed along the south bank of the Yellow River!" Sano Akichi answered quickly.
"Is there any specific information such as garrison areas and deployment of troops?"
"No, you also know that the assassination in the New Year caused heavy losses to our military intelligence personnel..."
"Bastard, how can you make sure that the division must be stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River, and they won't appear around the Bihe River?" Tu Feiyuan was furious and his eyes were extremely gloomy. "That's it, the Chinese used the Four Lines Regiment as bait to lure my 2nd Infantry Regiment, and then surrounded the 2nd Infantry Regiment with an infantry division, which eventually caused this tragedy!
The failure of this battle was entirely due to the disaster of Ishiguro Masacori's greed for merit and advancement! This person deserves to die for his own personal gain of 3,000 warriors in the Empire!"
The two Japanese military officers looked at each other and took a deep breath. The commander of their division really made a way to get rid of the blame and directly put a blame on a dead man.
"Transfer my military order and order the 59th Regiment to stop the march immediately and find a suitable area to garrison on the spot. After the main force of our division gathers to determine the enemy situation, we will march towards the enemy Zhengzhou!" Tuofeiyuan stood up and gave an order with a gloomy face. "Notify the 27th Brigade, the 28th Brigade bends down, and Major General Sakai comes to the division headquarters to discuss strategies to attack Zhengzhou!"
"Hi!" The two Japanese officers focused on their heads.
Seeing the two subordinates leaving, Tu Feiyuan, who had already stood up, sat back on the chair again.
The eyes were constantly flashing with fierce light, but more painful.
He had received a secret message from the base camp. When he defeated the enemy this time, he would be transferred back to China to use his understanding of China to prepare for the "Special Committee on China" to be responsible for the establishment of the occupied area regime and intelligence agencies. Although the military rank has not been promoted, his status is incomparable to the commander of a division.
Then he knew that before the good things came, reality gave him a heavy blow. Although the losses of an infantry corps were not enough to allow him, the division commander, to leave, the stain was already destined.
If he wants to win back his reputation in front of those big bosses, he must conquer Zhengzhou, which means he must be very cautious next and not make any mistakes.
For the sake of his own future, the annoying Four-Entertainment Group could only be let go temporarily, and the confidant Ishiguro Masora must also take the blame.
Although Tang Dao’s understanding of this person is not 100%, it is not too far apart. A person with complex minds and extremely greedy is destined to be a famous general.
It was not until two days after all the four regiments evacuated from the battlefield that an infantry squad was timidly approaching the battlefield, and what they saw were neatly arranged Japanese wreckage.
This time, the Four Corps took off all their military uniforms like plucking their hair. In addition to the tweed-submarine coats of the escort officers, they were worth taking. The yellow military uniforms covered with blood were still worn on the corpse, and all the shoes were stripped naked, leaving a pair of frozen blue-white feet exposed in the cold wind of winter.
As for all kinds of equipment, except for the blown-up, it was really useless, and even a barrel and a piece of buttstock wood were left behind.
To put it bluntly, what is left to the Japanese is a corpse, with more than 3,000 pieces.
It’s not that there were hundreds of people running away, but some people actually encountered 150 mortars and were all blown into pieces. How can they calculate?
There are no more than 50 people who can escape in the end, of which 40 are wounded and medical soldiers. They are ordered to stop 30 kilometers away and wait for the battle to end.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for two days, no one came to inform them. It was only after the main force of the 14th Division that had reassembled the marching again that he told them the bad news.
It is said that seeing the only 40 remaining people in the 2nd Infantry Regiment, the major general brigade commander of the 27th Infantry Brigade burst into tears.
Can't the 2nd Infantry Regiment be rebuilt until the end of the entire war?
