Chapter 175: The Destruction of the 5th Division

Chapter 175 The Destruction of the Fifth Division
At the joint combat meeting, Jiang Baili had already spoken about the entire battle plan. Chen Jun and Chen Cheng, the two commanders of Chen, took the lead to applaud. It has to be said that Jiang Baili was indeed not a general in the field on the formulation of the grand strategy and plan. Within reach.
"This is the entire combat plan. Because the objectives of this operation are too large, in order to ensure their annihilation, the cooperation of all ministries must be in place, whether it is the troops responsible for attacking and destroying the Fifth Division, or the troops responsible for containment and resistance. It is necessary to exert great strength. Otherwise, the Japanese army may break out by itself or be rescued by its main force. "
Jiang Barry paused, signaled that he was finished, took the tea cup on the table, took a comfortable sip, "don't leave it afterwards if you have an opinion, if you have any ideas, please come forward."
Chen Jun and Chen Cheng did not understand anything and had no objections. The previous three members have already decided the tone of the meeting. In particular, Chen Cheng, after reporting to Chairman Jiang, actually got a reply very quickly, stating that as long as there was an opportunity to destroy more than one Japanese army, he won a victory (the elimination of an alliance can be called a victory), he agreed This time the two armies cooperated.
Ma Wenwu, the commander of the Fourth Division of the Southwest Army, saw no one to speak. As the most senior commander of the Southwest Army, he stood up and said, "There is no problem with the Fourth Division. A group under my command will surely hold back in Baoding. The Japanese army and the leader of the army under the command of Chen Jun are also battle-hardened. The two regiments are enough to drag the Japanese army into a division. On the offensive side, the Southwest Army of the two divisions must be able to wipe out this division. "
The battle plan is actually not complicated. Simply put, the troops are drawn from the main battlefield, and Baoding is attacked at night and time. Two absolutely elite main station divisions of the Southwest Main Division 4 and the Third Division are responsible for encircling the Japanese 5th Division. Baoding ’s The two regiments will cooperate with the two attacking divisions after the siege battle begins, and strive to resolve the battle as quickly as possible.
In fact, a main division in the southwest was drawn to the battlefield, and without considering casualties, it was already barely able to fight against a Japanese division. After all, the gap in equipment was very large, and let alone the standard equipment of the main division. The Chinese-style semi-automatic rifle threw the Japanese military ’s 38th and 8th largest covers thousands of miles away.
The reason for this arrangement is mainly to take into account that the Japanese army has four divisions on the Beijing-Tianjin battlefield nearly two hundred kilometers away. If the battle is not resolved as soon as possible, it may be rushed by the Japanese main forces to rescue it, and it will eventually be wiped out by a siege. The battle turned into a decisive battle staged in advance.
This is not good for both sides. At present, the strength of China and Japan is basically the same. Without precluding the Japanese army from hysterically re-entering China, the main advantage of China lies in the southwest.
With the expansion of the airport, the Air Force 6 continued northward, and fuel and ammunition were stored in place. Heavy artillery arrived slowly, and the balance of war began to tilt towards China.
After eating the Fifth Division and weakening the Japanese army first, in order to achieve a more perfect victory with more losses in the subsequent decisive battle.
The Japanese army did exactly this. While applying for reinforcements from the country, Shirakawa tried to secretly deploy a division to attack Baoding from the main battlefield where the troops were already nervous, and intended to cut off the supply line, so as to grasp the initiative on the battlefield. It is just that he missed the air power in the southwest, or that he had no precautions against the tactics of boldly using large-scale air transportation to launch mid-range and long-range forces. If the German army is changed, it may pay much attention to the potential of Daxing Airport in the long-range deployment of troops, but Shiakawa Yoshi obviously misses this link.
"The two commanders, Chief of Staff Chiang, can we ask for some active counterattacks on the battlefield in front of Peiping?" Major General Zhang Zizhong asked.
The general who walked out of the Northwest Army had a bumpy journey, and he was used to all aspects of life. He was very young, but quite a little bit disappointed. Now on the Beijing-Tianjin battlefield, it's like a fish, and in several battles, the 38 divisions of the reserve team have performed well. It is the best performing unit in the second division.
Jiang Baili waved his hand and signaled: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is no one-size-fits-all battle plan. However, the overall plan is to prevent it. We Chinese will surround Wei to rescue Zhao, and the Japanese are likely to adopt similar tactics. Although you do not participate in the eradication and resistance battle, However, the main force must be stationed on the defense line to guard against the Japanese army surrounding Wei to rescue Zhao. "
"Yes"
As soon as he heard that there was still a battle to fight, Zhang Zizhong sat down happily. The soldiers most feared was to go to the battlefield to blow the autumn wind, and there was no battle to fight.
Chen Jun saw no one to question again, knowing that these division generals had chosen to obey the order, but for the entire annihilation war, he still had to add a few points, "Dear everyone, I want to add that this is the first of the Southwest Government and the Nanjing Government. The joint annihilation battle is of great significance. In this operation, every link is very important. It is no exaggeration to say that there is a problem in any link. Not only will the annihilation war be ruined, we will also suffer unexpected losses. Everyone is the leader of a division. Nowadays, the national crisis is taking the lead. I hope that you will drop some of the usual differences and work together to eliminate the Japanese army as the fundamental purpose. If anyone retreats, or if the battle is not effective, Chen Chengjun and I will strictly implement the battlefield. discipline."
"Yes, this battle was jointly ordered by Mr. Zhang Shusheng in the southwest and Chairman Jiang in Nanjing. If anyone breaks the discipline and undermines the unity of the Anti-Japanese War, I will deal with it by military law."
Chen Cheng is also very clear. Nowadays, the situation is pressing. Compared with the internal affairs of the two governments, foreign enemies are the most urgent. You can sit down and talk about your family's affairs. The devil will not deal with it so well. Under the iron hoof, the cry of 30 million compatriots rang through the world.
"Yes" also responded in unison.
Around 1 am, on the frontal position in charge of the Southwest Army, an emergency defense was under night.
"Hurry up, be quiet, don't make a sound." Each squad leader cautiously gave orders to the soldiers in his squad, one squad after another came out of the trenches, bunkers, and gun holes to take over. They are a first class division of the Kuomintang.
The defense was completely changed, and even some anti-aircraft artillery mounted on the vehicle were being transferred, while the infantry and mortars were pulled directly into the car, ready to march with the main force. However, in order to prevent the Japanese army from attacking wildly, the Southwest Army still left some fire support units.
"This will be a long-distance emergency march, bringing dry food and drinking water for two days, and preparing for it in five minutes."
On the side of the road where the replacement unit was withdrawn, the officers and men of the logistics department had prepared dozens of tables, with a large box of steamed bread, a large basket of radish sticks, a large basket of braised pork sticks, and the soldiers lined up. Quickly walk in line at each table, pass over the lunch box, and pick up your own share.
This was done by concentrating all the cooking soldiers, and finding hundreds of soldiers to fight, and it took two to make it. The rapid march could not walk hungry.
The emergency assembly at night was quickly completed under the rapid response of the trained Southwest Army. After leaving the vicinity of the line of fire, the main 3rd and 4th divisions of the four regiments and the 8th Division of the Guardian Division Two regiments, a total of 6 regiments, began to march overnight.
A severely lacking truck can only be used to transport supplies and heavy equipment, and infantry can only rely on two legs.
Southwestern equipment was still in place. Compared with the two central divisions not far away, the advantages immediately appeared.
On the side, the two central divisions, the 18th Division and the 19th Division, were responsible for the blocking operation. When the Southwest Army had already dispatched the entire team, the troops of the two divisions had not even arrived. After the troops finally managed to complete the team, they began to slowly put in dry food. Fortunately, they could also get a piece of meat or two this time.
The Southwest Army takes classes as a unit, and the flashlights played a great role in the night march. This large military flashlight has better lighting effects and lasts longer than civilian ones.
In contrast, the two central divisions, at this time, the staff of the logistics department were preparing torches, and the soldiers who had finished the dry food lined up to lead the torches.
When the two divisions were finally ready to leave, the six regiments of the Southwest Army had gone out for more than six kilometers at night. It was a simple rapid march that revealed a huge gap between the two armies. This is not a coincidence, but a difference in efficiency caused by long-term training.
The march has a long way to go. There is a straight line distance of 150 to 60 kilometers from Baoding. When converted to march distance, it is at least about kilometers. In such a high-intensity marching state, the degree of the Southwest Army must be reached at least the day after tomorrow.
"Quick, quick"
Hou Shan also carried the marching bag and jumped on the stone next to him. Like other company commanders, he shouted to his company: "Hurry up, don't hit the flashlight to the sky, raise the degree."
After the company almost passed, he was jumping off the stone and catching up with his cousin Wu Peiqiang who was walking at the end of the company.
"Brother, why don't I help you carry your back?" Hou Shan saw the mortar on his cousin's back and swallowed the slobber. The burly man was just like this and had great strength.
"No, it's light."
Wu Peiqiang shifted the position of the mm mortar on his shoulder. For him, the weight of more than ten kilograms is not even a long march. The veteran of this night march occasionally stepped out of the air and quickly adjusted himself. Body balance. Adding a military package, the entire person carried almost 2 kilograms.
Originally, he carried an extra bag of rockets. Unexpectedly, the two soldiers responsible for raising the mortars injured their feet. He changed the mortars of the two and gave the rocket ammunition to the other one. Soldier. "Mountain, my brother's strength, as long as he fights devils, he can't use it up."
Hou Shan smiled helplessly and ran to a soldier. He took a light machine gun and ran with his cousin.
For them, the night march was commonplace, and what made the soldiers enthusiastically was that the six main groups attacked. In any case, this meant a big battle.
"Leader Wang and Dai, this is a telegram from the Peiping Military Department that I just received."
Baoding, at 1:30 in the morning, the Fourth Division First Division (corrected the previous chapter, misrepresented as the Guardian Division) and the Third Division and the Third Division's joint regiment. Before Wang Jun.
"Hope is good news." Wang Jun took a look at the telegram, opened it immediately, and immediately patted An Anlan's shoulder. "Anlan, you're right. The Beiping Military Department made us swear to keep Baoding, When you hold the enemy, you say that the military will eat the Fifth Division, and your words are fulfilled. "
"Eh?" Dai Anlan looked so happy that he did not expect his guess to come true. He couldn't wait to receive the telegram and immediately smiled. "Haha, this time I want to make Japanese devils unable to eat."
"Yes, six regiments, plus our total strength of eight regiments, which are almost three divisions. To deal with a division of Guizi, we have more combat troops and higher combat effectiveness. This time, I See where the Devil's Fifth Division is running. "Being able to participate in such an annihilation war, Wang Jun only felt full of body. This is different from position defense. You never know how many enemies you can destroy, you can only passively wait for the enemy to attack. The cool part is that you can always maintain a determination to fight, firmly believe that you must eliminate how many enemies are surrounded, and take the initiative in your own hands.
The feeling of letting the enemy despair and run into a wall is like catching a cat in a puppet.
"Let's go, Pharaoh, let's go and see. The devils who are close to the Alliance, I don't believe they will wait until dawn." Dai Anlan and the Japanese army have been fighting for a long time, and they know that the Japanese are also very strange to use troops. They I learned a lot from the Chinese. Although the four things I learned are not the same, they are enough to cause people a lot of trouble.
Each of them picked up two steamed buns, wrapped some radish sticks in white paper, and a few spicy pickles, and went to the front with the guards.
Sure enough, the two had not yet left the city, and there was a sound of pea-cannons bursting out of the front of the city.
"The devil's three and eight big caps and grenades, they really did."
Dai Anlan is most familiar with these two things, but even Han Li heard it all at once, and the two of them accidentally ate the buns and ran quickly towards the position with the guards.
After the two came to the position, they saw that the Japanese attack was mainly a point breakthrough. The Japanese selected a few points and, under the protection of Yase, rushed toward the simple position of the Southwest Army.
"Hisse ..."
At several points of the Japanese attack, the razor-struck machine gun with mad firing almost did not need to aim, as long as it fired at a distance of tens of meters, it could always kill one or a few devils. This is not the time to save ammunition. .
The power of a rifle in a night battle is already very limited, especially the several point-like breakthroughs taken by the devil by night.
Dai Anlan punched his fist on the bunker wall and quickly ordered: "Quickly, order the companies to focus on the assault rifle to support the Japanese attack on several points."
"Let the artillery battalion play a few more flares." Wang Jun also added that the flares were too powerful at this time.
"Puff puff……"
A few beeps, several flare flares rising above the position, and the falling flare slowly exposed the Japanese army that was breaking through several positions. The Ripper-type machine gun and the light machine gun worked together at once, and several attack points The Japanese fired on the ground. The Japanese army with a few points even rushed to the trenches, but was unfortunately smashed into pieces of rotten meat by the Teaser in close range. However, at this time, the 1st and 3rd regiments also suffered certain losses.
"Head Dai, head Wang, position 12 was rushed up by the Japanese."
"What? How did Han Li of the first battalion do it? Go, Lao Tzu personally took two companies to support him."
Han Li was a very good defensive man. Of course, he was even more angry at the position being breached. Regardless of Dai Anlan's persuasion on the spot, he took two companies to support position 12.
Although the Japanese attack was repelled at several points, after all, the entire outpost was too long, and there were always one or two places that were fortunately broken by the Japanese.
At this time, the real battle will start at these two breakthrough points. Whether the Japanese army will tear the position, the main force comes up in a swarm, or it is beaten by three groups, depends on who is more brave.
"It turned out that position 12 was the main offensive point for the devils."
Bo Shaoming, commander of the three battalions of a battalion, was in charge of position 13 and position 12 was led by a battalion commander, Han Li. Following the fire of machine guns and explosions, he saw a large group of devils flowing from the gap. Come up.
What is even more irritating is that the Japanese army actually brought the grenade barrel by night, and it was able to suppress the Ripper-type machine gun at a close range. In the moment of a slight pause in the firepower, the hordes of devils completely ignored the shooting of the distant light machine gun, and rushed up frantically.
"Machine gun group, I'm going to muzzle."
Bo Shaoming shouted loudly, and ordered the two tearers in the company to support the direction of the gap. He took a platoon and was ready to support the battalion commander. Just now in the firelight, he has seen both sides fight bayonet in the firelight.
"Brothers, follow Lao Tzu, kill one enough and kill two to earn one."
Seeing more and more devils rushing up in the night, I did not expect that the devils suddenly put in so many troops, Han Li had no time to reflect. The defense just now was not wrong, because the defense depth of the simple position was not enough. A minefield can't stop the crazy devils from coming up. Unlike Beiping battlefields, where trenches are staggered, even in the dark, it is difficult for the Japanese to break through.
"Submachine guns pay attention to support."
Throw the pistol at a soldier next to him and grabbed a Chinese-style semi-automatic rifle from his hand. This 21-style modified rifle is now called a 31-year-old Chinese rifle.
The bayonet popped out ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Han Li ordered a series of ten submachine guns for close support, and rushed forward with the bayonet. With so many devils at this time, they can only be driven away by experiencing their mighty style.
The cruel bayonet battle, with the support of the Chinese side with an assault rifle and a large-capacity pistol, the Japanese army gradually fell below. These devils appeared in pain, originally thinking that the bayonet could defeat the southwest army. Instead of being weaker than them, Thorn was more fierce.
The bayonet battle did not last long. After Wang Jun personally rushed with the two company troops, the left and right positions of the Teaser were followed by the Japanese army after the suppression. Harvested clean. Not many were stabbed to death by bayonet, but nearly half were killed by a dozen submachine guns and pistols configured by the squad leader and deputy. At a short distance, the Japanese ghost screamed and rushed forward with a bayonet, but was dropped by a submachine gun shuttle or a pistol.
The pistols provided by Japanese officers are far inferior to the new-style barge guns of the Southwest Army in terms of quantity and performance. The braking effect is very good, often after the Japanese army is shot, it loses the power to continue to wave and cut.
A night battle before dawn became the prelude to the siege of the fifth division.
