Chapter 165: Sneak Attack on Japanese Fleet

After losing almost 70 medium- and large-caliber artillery and almost all of the field reserve artillery shells, the Japanese Sixth Division was like a completely irritated bald dog, brewing crazy revenge.
The next day, the planned offensive began. In the first wave of offensives, the Japanese sent a 45th wing and a strengthening battalion. The total number was more than the three regiments after calculating the support for artillery and other auxiliary soldiers.
Although this time the Japanese army did not have iron armored cars to drive the way, and there was no earth-shattering fire support, they used a large number of aircraft. Nearly forty aircraft flew frantically over the third regiment, launching a deadly battle between the air force and ground anti-aircraft artillery, which is rare in modern air combat.
The Japanese aircraft almost desperately dived and bombed and fired the circular fortification zone, causing great losses to the three battalions' artillery battalions, while the Japanese army left the wreckage of 14 fighter jets.
The victorious Japanese army finally pulled out the air defense positions on the Chinese army's position and began an unscrupulous attack.
The Japanese attack was still the same. In addition to the lack of medium and long-range artillery fire support, the wing attacked several fire teams in a casual line attack. The wing had an artillery team, four infantry guns, and four mountain guns.
Each Japanese squadron has a machine gun firepower group, carrying two light machine guns, and a grenade group carrying two grenades, which are used to fill the heavy firepower gap of 200 between the mortar and the grenade.
A few miles of the front can see the Japanese army rushing across, the pressure on the front is like a tight string.
The Japanese are the old ones, including infantry cannons, machine guns, grenades, and rifles. After they entered the battle, they were also suppressed by three groups of soldiers.
Although the new anti-aircraft artillery suffered a large loss, the infantry gun of the Southwest Army hunting equipment escaped because of its small size and it was easy to hide in the Tibetan artillery hole. The infantry artillery was almost directly supported by heavy fire within a kilometer. The Japanese artillery and infantry artillery were almost suppressed. And using this 31-year-old infantry cannon to deal with the Japanese machine gun group and the grenade group is more magical. Often, the entire group flew after one shot.
This is not a fiction. If Zhang Shusheng was here, he would remember how hugely the Japanese army had relied on infantry cannons and grenades to the Chinese army. At that time, the Chinese army was not without heavy firepower such as heavy machine guns, but it was often shot shortly after. The Japanese infantry guns or grenades approached and shot them into the sky.
Today, the battlefield is turned upside down. Often the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese support team attack just shortly after firing. A cannonball or ripper heavy machine gun greets them. Whether it is fire density, power or range, the Japanese army ’s weapon just happened to be Suppressed.
"Da da da……"
"Hisse ..."
"Hmm ..."
"Bang, bang, bang ..."
The entire battlefield was filled with gunfire. When the Japanese rushed into the distance of several hundred meters, the infantry fire between the two sides finally reached a climax.
It is still the semi-automatic rifle's all-round victory over the pistol bolt rifle.
After Dai Anlan added two company support positions, everything looked good except for one problem.
"Report, our ammunition reserves are running low."
The logistics officer Pu Ren came to Dai Anlan to report this unpleasant thing. Dai Anlan was holding a telescope to pay attention to the offensive and defensive battle on the hot line. When he heard the news, he couldn't help but hit him with a punch. Bunker on the wall.
"How long can it be used, according to the current combat intensity."
"At most it can only be held until dark."
For the three regiments, the antiaircraft artillery shells accounted for a considerable proportion in the logistical supply, and the semi-automatic rifle's bullets were consumed at a faster rate. After three days of fighting, the ammunition drawn by the army was reloaded and replenished once in the first two days. The ammunition is almost used.
After all, the Air Force has to transport the main force of the Third Division, and it is also responsible for the transportation of the necessary equipment needed to build Daxing Airport. The overall capacity seems very tight. Although Taiyuan's North Airfield can be used by the Southwest Air Force, because of its small size, further emergency expansion is still underway, and logistics is struggling.
Dai Anlan thought about it for a while. The Japanese offensive momentum is very fierce. The three regiments must hold on until dark, because the two Kuomintang divisions are about to reach the battlefield. One of the two divisions is the first division and the other is The second division, although unable to reverse the situation on the battlefield, allowed the two regiments of the Third Regiment and the Eighteenth Army to breathe.
It can be said that the combat power of the three regiments has not yet been fully developed, and Dai Anlan does not want to force the Japanese army under the circumstances of weak firepower and insufficient military force, so it is necessary to appropriately change the tactics.
"Send Japanese weapons collected by various companies to clean up the battlefield for emergency use. I asked the division."
Dai Anlan then called the 19th Army Headquarters, who was stationed in Beiping with the 18th Army.
"Division, the army's ammunition reserves are running low."
"Keep on, you will receive a batch of ammunition supplies in the evening. I heard that the Japanese bombardment caused a certain loss of air defense firepower. Nothing, this time there are 20 anti-aircraft guns in the supply. The military department is afraid you have eaten them. The loss of fighter support is very reluctant. "
Dai Anlan finally got a good news from Chen Jun. The Japanese army certainly did not expect the three regiments to replenish anti-aircraft guns overnight. By tomorrow, he would give the Japanese a good-looking look.
On May 13th, when the first day of the offensive was easily repelled by the three regiments, the fully overhauled carrier-based aircraft unit took off again to support the Sixth Division against the Chinese Southwest Third Regiment.
During the fighting yesterday, the Chinese and Japanese sides fought fierce offensive and defensive battles in positions in three directions. The two Kuomintang divisions did not eventually add to the left wing position. It was not that the National Army was too selfish, but the 18th Division. The frontal and right-wing positions that were responsible for the two divisions of the 19th Division were broken by the Japanese army twice. Finally, the two additional divisions supplemented the positions urgently before holding.
After a day of fighting, the Japanese army lost more than 2,000 corpses in frontal positions and right-wing positions, and the wounded were more severe. However, the national army suffered even greater losses. In the case of the two divisions using medium and long-range artillery, The Kuomintang army was helpless against the Japanese offensive tactics. Some advanced weapons originally were suppressed, and even the 105mm guns of the two divisions were partially destroyed by Japanese aircraft. It can only be called a well-trained Kuomintang division. When facing the elite Japanese division, although it is only behind in all aspects, this backwardness has been magnified in the offensive and defensive battles.
The Japanese army suffered huge losses in front of the three regiment positions. The entire left-wing position alone caused nearly 2,000 casualties to the Japanese army. The forty-fifth wing was completely disabled. Chiba Koichiro was unfortunately captured during the charge and became The top-ranked Japanese officer who had been captured since the start of the Tianjin-Beijing battle, he was the chief of staff of China and Zuo who was killed by unknown guns thousands of kilometers away from Chinese positions. The remnants of the forty-fifth infantry wing were incorporated into the two complete wing of the sixth division.
The situation of the three regiments is much better. Although there are also casualties, the battle loss ratio is very satisfactory. It wasn't Dai Anlan's cold blood, but the war was meant to kill people. How to destroy the most enemies at the least cost is a natural duty as a commander.
On May 13th, when the Japanese carrier-based aircraft formation flew over Langfang to prepare for unbridled bombing, they were stopped by the fighter planes of the two Kuomintang squadrons who rushed to the battlefield.
Although the fighters of the Kuomintang Air Force were far behind the Japanese, the fighters bombed the bombers and still thwarted the Japanese. They were shot down with seven or eight old-fashioned bombers. In the original information obtained by the Japanese army, the Chinese Air Force had to wait at least three or four days to enter the battlefield. Unexpectedly, the two squadrons were caught off guard by the deputy captain Gao Zhihang.
The left wing position was even more lively. When the Japanese aircraft thought that it had completely destroyed the southwest regiment's anti-aircraft fire, and swaggered to prepare for a low-altitude dive bomber, it was stopped by the antiaircraft artillery set into the trenches overnight.
The tragedy suddenly appeared, and the Japanese aircraft was shot down like dumplings. The artillery battalion that had been suffocating for a long time played abnormally. Nearly half of the dozen bombers that were committed in the future were shot down. The other planes were in a bad situation, throwing bombs at random, and turned to run.
In this day's battle, the two Japanese wing units once launched a division-level charge that did not fear death, and Mr. Putian personally ordered a `` glory charge ''.
However, at this time they found out how much mistake they had made.
Bringing the light of death to them is nothing more than the Southwest Ripper machine gun.
In the previous battles, this new type of machine gun did not play its biggest role, because the Japanese attack was not as fierce as this day.
Faced with a dense attack of the Japanese army, the Ripper heavy machine gun finally roared and opened fire.
I saw a tearman who was urgently replenished last night and was moved to the position. The original shooter in charge of the light machine gun turned to operate this heavy machine gun. An average of 100 meters was set up.
Suddenly, a dense ruffled sound rang out on the battlefield. Originally, the rate of fire was controlled at about 500 rounds in the previous few days of combat. On this day, shooting was started regardless of barrel loss. The scary rate of fire of up to 1,500 rounds of minutes, in just a minute, swept the attacking Japanese army into pieces.
The crazy Japanese army has long forgotten how many people were killed by the crossfire of heavy machine guns on the European battlefield during the First World War in Britain and France, but that was a scary record of killing tens of thousands of people in one day. The Japanese army forgot that they thought that the Chinese army was not a Russian army and would certainly collapse in the face of an attack of seven or eight thousand people.
The three regiments replenished a lot of ammunition this time. Although Dai Anlan did not know why, he could guess that the air force's capacity had suddenly increased. After launching nearly 2,000 peasant masses to help carry ammunition, that night, the firepower deployment of the three regiments reached a very scary point, especially the artillery of various calibers, and machine guns of light weight. Apart from that, the emergency replenishment of the assault rifle and bullets has reached a scary level.
Dozens of ripper-type heavy machine guns recreated the myth of the Germans on the European battlefield. The losses of the two alliances were severe. The Japanese have never seen the Chinese have such a high-intensity heavy machine gun fire, and the aircraft When the air raid did not work, the attacking troops that the Japanese had escaped by chance finally began to retreat.
At the time of the trial, Dai Anlan ordered the army to pursue and killed more than 400 people. In the end, less than 4,000 of the head of the sixth division fled back, and a considerable part was injured.
When Shirakawa Yi was almost an idiot to find trouble with Mr. Putian with a gun, the staff told him that Mr. Putian had been hit by two Chinese heavy machine gun bullets, and he had not even had time to the body back.
The entire Sixth Division was wiped out as many as 5,000 people within a week. The Japanese army could not accept this fact at the next time. According to reliable information, the third regiment of the Chinese army was killed or injured by only about 1,000 people. Although they have trenches to serve as cover, although their weapons are more advanced, although the Japanese of the two alliances were almost all killed by the heavy machine gun fire on the road of decisive attack ...
The Japanese army was still deterred.
A Chinese regiment could actually block the attack of a division's infantry. (The 6th Division commander did not have 20,000 infantry units, and quite a few were heavy units, such as artillery.) They could actually block three times the enemy ’s offense.
Although, the overall loss of the Japanese army was 70 in the "Glory Attack" on May 13th, and encountered the almost perverted heavy machine gun firepower configuration of the Chinese. The Chinese actually disregarded logistics and disregarded the war-fighting method of combat, which brought a painful lesson to the Japanese army.
In fact, if the Japanese attack was more sane, slowing down the pace and launching repeated tide-like attacks, the three regiment positions were likely to reveal flaws and be broken by the Japanese. After all, the Japanese had too much strength in their forces.
Huge casualties should not have occurred. It is said that when a division's offense is deadlocked, it is only necessary to transfer more troops to rescue, and the loss is still manageable. However, the two reinforcements are still at sea. The other two divisions were repeatedly fighting for positions with the Kuomintang troops of the four divisions, and they were combined into a group. There was simply not enough troops to support it.
Shirakawa immediately dispatched a former infantry wing as a reserve team, but did not catch up with the rescue, only waiting for the defeated officers and men of the Sixth Division.
Putian wanted to wash up the shame of Shaxu, but he did not expect to be defeated. He was even killed and became the highest-ranking Japanese officer on the Chinese battlefield.
Beiping, Daxing Airport
The area was originally barren, but now there is an airport guarded by barbed wire, and many bunkers are built around it to guard the airport layer by layer.
The entire airport already has two runways, of which the first runway is already available for low-intensity aircraft. The bulk of the heavy cargo that the third regiment received last night was transported by the transport plane from the Taiyuan North Airport.
After Chen Jun personally observed the battle of the Third Regiment on the front line, he brought a group of wounded soldiers to the airport. These wounded soldiers will return to the southwest by plane as soon as possible ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Said that the world's most advanced medical treatment, they will use the best medicines, some special medicines that can not be bought in the West.
"Report to the Captain, the Ministry of Defense secret code."
At the airport command center, the communications staff member walked to Chen Jun, saluted him, and handed him a secret message from the military ministry he had just received.
Chen Jun took it for a look, and immediately he was in love, for nothing else, because the first batch of combat aircraft had finally transferred from Taiyuan North Airport to Daxing Airport, which was half completed.
"It's great. The air force is here. The Japanese army should have some hardships."
Although he did not know what the military's plan for the Air Force was, he knew that the main force of the Third Regiment and the Third Division, which would arrive tomorrow, would no longer have to carry out air strikes against Japanese carrier aircraft.
