Chapter 1387: The Battle of Zhengjiatun! (10)
Sanjiangkou, the First Regiment Command.
"Reported that the Japanese army has crossed Zhaosutai River and is expected to arrive at the Gaojia shack in two hours!"
"Well, commander 1, how are the fortifications on the position being dug?"
"There is still a little bit of finishing work, which is almost done. I have used all the power I can mobilize, and give priority to ensuring the workload of the first line!"
"Very good, let's go and have a look together!" Lu Shan said.
Half an hour later, Lu Shan and others came to the 204th Highland of Gaojiawozhang, which is the highest place in Gaojiawozhang, and the position command center is at the foot of the mountain.
A simple sand table was also made in the command center, and the mountains and rivers were presented one by one.
Several rivers in Gaojiawozhuang formed a dense water network, and the terrain was uneven, which was not conducive to the movement of heavy weapons and had a certain hysteresis effect on the enemy's tanks!
"The Japanese army came from the main road, and there were heavy artillery and tanks to help, so we must first avoid the edge, put the Japanese army in, give it a fierce moment here, and hurt him, so they will face us!" A regiment commander pointed to an area on the sand table and said.
"Are you sure?"
"Please don't worry, Mr. Lu, we are sure!"
"It's good to be sure. I ask you to block the Japanese army in Gaojia shack for at least five days. Can you do it?"
"Five days, can!"
"Okay, I believe you can definitely complete this task!" Lu Shan nodded.
"Report, the Japanese vanguard has approached twenty miles!"
"Yeah, I understand!"
"Mr. Lu. This place is about to become a frontier position. You might as well evacuate quickly!" Wang Rong said.
"Don't worry. Let's talk about it after watching you fight this battle!" Lu Shan shook his hand and said.
"yes!"
"Hongshanjun, there is the Gaojia Hut in front of us. According to our information, the Chinese army has built a blocking position in the Gaojia Hut!" Hasegawa Teru and Yokoyama got off the car and came to the roadside to rest for a while!
"Map!" Yokoyama called out, and the guards quickly sent the map over.
"The terrain of Gaojiawozhang is complex and there are many rivers, which is not conducive to the passage of our heavy equipment. It took a lot of effort for the Chinese army to choose to block us here!" After looking carefully at the map, Yong Hengshan couldn't help but frown.
"Well, the Chinese are very cunning. I heard that they are good at making landmines. Even our detectors cannot be found. We must be extremely careful!"
"I have heard of it, it caused great casualties to our offense!" Yokoyama nodded!
"Order the vanguard to be careful, especially the mines of the Chinese army!"
"Hayi!"
"General, let's get in the car!" Yokoyama Yuki put away the map and said to Hasegawa.
The large army quickly advanced forward, and the bright bayonet emitted a cold light under the reflection of the sun.
The Frontier Observation Post discovered the arrival of the Japanese drama army and immediately passed the message back to the command center in the rear.
At around 10:30 in the morning, the battle began!
The Japanese army lined up with dense attack formations and attacked a regiment of defensive positions. After a quarter of an hour of artillery fire, they almost plowed the positions of the regiment and battalions from left to right!
After the shelling, the infantry charged, and a large group of Japanese troops rushed over like a tide!
Near the position 400 meters, the Japanese army started a charge!
"beat!"
Less than two hundred meters before the Japanese army rushed to the position, the first battalion commander gave the order, and the officers and soldiers of the first battalion launched a counterattack!
The Japanese mortars charged and quickly lay down and looked for shooting covers. The Japanese mortars followed him launched artillery bombardment on the position of the first battalion, and explosions continued to come out from the position.
"The Chinese Army's firepower is very strong, which is indeed different from the Northeast Army. Their fortifications are also very distinctive. They have been equipped with echelons, and the firepower points are almost perfectly matched!" Yokoyama Yu said while observing.
"Well, their playing style is also very tenacious, much better than the Northeast Army!"
"General, it seems that it may take some time for us to take down the Gao family shack!" Yokoyama said.
"Order the field artillery corps to shell the Chinese army's positions for five minutes!" Yokoyama Yong ordered.
"Hengshanjun, our soldiers are also on the position!"
"God General, you must believe our artillery soldiers. They are a group of well-trained soldiers, not farmers!" Yokoyama said.
"Okay!" Hasegawa nodded!
"Damn it, the Japanese have bombarded again. Come down, lie down..." A short stinging sound came from the air, and the first battalion commander's face changed and he immediately shouted!
Boom...
The land acquisition of the first battalion quickly turned into a sea of fire. The Japanese artillery shells did not stop and continued to fall towards the position!
"What a fierce fighting style, do they care about their soldiers' lives or death?" The captain's eyes turned red in an instant. He saw the fires rising from the base of a camp in the telescope, and he wanted to rush over.
"Their artillery quality is very good and they fight very accurately. We are not as good as this!" Lu Shan explained calmly.
"I wish we had so many Japanese artillery!"
“There will be!”
On the first battalion's position, the Japanese had already rushed forward with the help of artillery fire. However, in order to avoid accidental injury, they did not immediately rush to the first battalion's position, but gathered about fifty meters away from the position!
After the five-minute shelling ended, the Japanese army launched a charge from a distance of fifty meters!
"The Japanese are coming, brothers, fight quickly!" The first battalion commander shook off the soil on his head, and when he saw the Japanese rushing up, he shouted quickly!
At this time, the function of the underground castle built was reflected. When the obstacles in front of the shooting hole were pushed open, seven or eight flames rushed out from the ground, and directly faced the charge of the Japanese army in front of him and started shooting!
The Japanese army rushing in front could not have imagined that the danger would come from the underground under the enemy's position, where underground fortifications were built!
The Japanese army fell down like harvesting wheat. Some had already rushed to the front of the first camp, but fell down with unwilling eyes!
"The Chinese army actually built underground fortifications on the position!" This discovery scared Yokoyama Yuki and Hasegawa Nakata who were watching the battle!
"Yongyama-kun. It seems that we have greatly underestimated these Chinese people. They are very cunning. These underground firepower points are very hidden. If they are not exposed themselves, it will be difficult for us to discover them!" Hasegawa Satoshi said.
"How did they do it in such a short time?" Nishiyama Fukutaro also asked in surprise.
The Japanese army left a body in front of the position and retreated. After a quick look, the Japanese army suffered nearly a hundred casualties during this charge!
As the defensive side, the first battalion suffered a lot of casualties. Although the Japanese artillery fire was covered, there were still many casualties, which were close to the Japanese casualties. However, the first battalion was mostly injured, and not many died in battle, and some were just shocked by the explosion!
The Japanese army's attack was uninterrupted, and soon a new round of artillery bombardment began again. This time, at least hundreds of shells fell, and the position was quickly ravaged and riddled with holes!
"Hengshan Jun. If you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid we won't have enough shells before we can take Sanjiangkou!"
"This is our first battle, and we must break through the position of the China Army!" Yokoyama said.
"Okay!" Hasegawa Teru turned his head to Fukutaro Nishiyama, "Tele to the flight team and ask them to send planes to help the battle!"
"Hayi!"
After an hour and a half of fierce battle, at twelve o'clock, eight Japanese planes flew down from the sky!
Japanese planes and cannons all joined forces, and the position of the first battalion instantly became like a small boat that encountered a storm in the sea, and there was a possibility of overturning at any time!
"Order the Second Battalion to quickly reinforce the First Battalion and repel the Japanese attack before it can be withdrawn!" The commander of the regiment said with red eyes!
"yes!"
The second battalion’s reinforcements were just the right time. Under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, the first battalion’s position was already in danger. Even if there was an underground castle, it could only deal with the Japanese army on the ground. Moreover, the bomb dropped by the Japanese plane was extremely powerful. Once it was blown up, it would be a big pit. The bunker was quickly blown down and the people inside were completely buried alive!
Under the powerful Japanese offensive, the Northeast Army was about to collapse. It was not entirely because of the incompetence of the soldiers. In fact, the gap between the two armies was too big!
The Eastern Anti-Japanese War can conquer a world in Beiman City, and there are also many lucky elements in it. Although they have won many battles, the true bloody battle is only the battle of Benxi, which is really a face-to-face head-on battle!
Although Benxi's defense battle was finally won, the price paid was quite high, which was piled up with human lives.
The Japanese planes and cannons are said to be not something that Dong Kang can compete with now. Not to mention that Dong Kang cannot make these things, they have no place to buy them. If they buy them, it is hard to say whether they can still be in their hands!
Lu Shan made up his mind to make it himself, but how much does it take to build these things? The talents and equipment alone are enough to give him a headache!
The battle lasted until one pm, and the Japanese army was finally repelled. The Japanese plane was also exhausted because of bullets and artillery shells, and returned to Siping Airport!
Siping Airport is too close to Zhengjiatun, and the plane can feel that this wēixié is too big, even more powerful than tanks and cannons on the ground!
Tanks and cannons on the ground still need to be carried, but they cannot leave the ground. Aircraft are different. As long as the weather allows, there is enough fuel, and you can attack the ground freely, and you have no power to fight back!
The 183rd Division does not have anti-aircraft machine guns, but these are all killer weapons. Now they are exposed, so how can we fight next?
"We must get rid of the Japanese at the airport in Siping!" Lu Shan said, "The airport in Siping is closest to us and can arrive less than a quarter of an hour after taking off. It is a huge wēixié for us!"
"Yes, we did not destroy it thoroughly during Siping. The Japanese army only needed a little repair to continue using it!" Wang Rong said.
"Is it possible to send an army to jump out and get rid of the Japanese airport?" Lu Shan asked.
"After we conquered Siping, the Japanese army must be on high alert, and it may not be easy!" Wang Rong said.
"I will give Wu Zi's fourth brigade to you to command. Can you do it?" Lu Shan said.
Although Siping Airport is just one of the Japanese, there are other military airports, not far from Zhengjiatun. There is also a Tongliao Airport nearest, and a Japanese flight brigade stationed there. From there, you can also support the Japanese army attacking Zhengjiatun.
