Chapter 543: Great Victory in Benxi! (2)
ps: The birth of the first leader of the Ben, enigmayanx, is one thousand words more!
Fifteen minutes later, another telegram came...
This time, what we are talking about is not the female soldier company, but the news that the Japanese heavy artillery position was destroyed by He Shili's artillery brigade!
This was another exciting news. After receiving the telegram from Lei Dong, Lu Shan laughed three times and shouted that the monk would go buy watermelons. He wanted to invite people from the headquarters to eat watermelons.
The monk Yang Shangwu happily went with the money.
After destroying the heavy artillery of the Japanese army, the East Column launched the most fierce defensive counterattack since the war started. He Shili's artillery brigade launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the Japanese positions. This time was the most enjoyable time for Lei Dong to command the southern line to block the Japanese army's combat!
Although the number of people was at a disadvantage, this counterattack caused a heavy blow to the 14th Division of the Japanese Army.
Moreover, due to the destruction of the heavy artillery position and the defeat in the direction of Yingzui Rock, the Japanese attack was frustrated, and the morale of the army was greatly shaken!
Although the Japanese army at this time was of high quality and strong fighting will, they were still not as good as the fanatical army that was brainwashed by Bushido and militarism a few years later, so the 14th Division inevitably developed a fear of the enemy!
Unfortunately, Lei Dong could only launch a small-scale counterattack and could not launch a large-scale counterattack because he did not have the available troops to counterattack. After this war, the available troops left with less than 6,000!
Although the Japanese army retreated, the total strength was still nearly 12,000.
Six thousand people defeated nearly twice the enemy. This is already amazing. This is probably very rare in the history of the Sino-Japanese War in modern times.
When Lu Shan received the telegram from Lei Dong, the small-scale counterattack had just begun, but the result was foreseeable that the Japanese army was conspiring to go bankrupt, and the rest was the issue of the size of the Japanese army's losses!
When the 14th Division was in Shanghai, the army of GMZF was defeated step by step and had no temper. However, in Manchuria, it was attacked by the East Zong and needed to retreat and protect itself. This is probably a huge contrast. As long as the people who received this news, they might not be able to sleep again!
"Lao Lu, in this situation, it is a bit unnecessary to transfer the 3rd and 4th Divisions of the Agricultural Reclamation to Benxi. Should I transfer one division directly to Xinbin or Qingyuan?" Ying Ruoyu suggested excitedly.
"Well, your proposal is very good. Entering Qingyuan will also provide a strong support for Li Binpu!" Lu Shan thought for a while.
"Which teacher should I be transferred?"
"The 4th Agricultural Reclamation Division, they are walking behind!" Lu Shan ordered, "At the same time, the secret message from Gao Zhihang will be cancelled to the combat plan of the First Army Air Force Brigade!"
Since the Japanese heavy artillery has been killed, it is meaningless to call the Air Force, so it is better to continue hiding it and wait to give the Japanese a greater surprise in the future.
Although the battle on the front line has not ended, the headquarters of the East Column is already full of joy at this moment. The victory of the southern line means that the Japanese plan to attack the East Column from north to south has gone bankrupt. It is no longer possible for the Japanese army to launch a fatal blow to the East Column again. This anti-summer offensive can be said to be half of the victory.
The 14th Division suffered heavy damage. Even if the personnel losses were not large, it would take at least two or three months to reorganize the war drum. This will definitely not work if the soldiers and weapons are added, as well as the wounded recovery, training, morale recovery, etc. in less than two or three months.
And after a defeat, the 14th Division is probably still to be held accountable, and the attitude in Japan is still unclear!
The international war against Japan in Manchuria is still being condemned. The Japanese government faces double pressure at home and abroad.
Therefore, once defeated, this will have a great impact on the political and military trends in Japan.
However, whether this impact is good or bad is not what Lu Shan currently considers.
What he had to consider was how to defeat the Ninth Division. After the 14th Division was defeated, the Japanese Kwantung Army would inevitably put all the cards on the Ninth Division. If the Ninth Division failed again, even Muto Nobuyi, the newly appointed Kwantung Army commander, would step down in disgrace.
As for his marshal's dream, it is even more distant.
This is also one of the reasons why Lu Shan was so kind and transferred the 4th Agricultural Reclamation Division to Qingyuan. The 9th Division, now the more complete system is the 35th Regiment attacking the Shancheng and the 18th Regiment far away in Changchun. The 19th Regiment followed the 9th Brigade and the three construction divisions led by Qin Shiyu on the Dunhua front line!
With Qin Shiyu's command ability and Wang Rong, Zhang Guanyi and others cooperated, even if they couldn't win, it would be difficult for the Japanese army to defeat them.
After the battle on the southern front, Lei Dong formed a confrontation with the 14th Division, and the troops also had to go into rest, otherwise it would be difficult to support such a high-intensity and high-density battle!
It’s time to concentrate our efforts against the Ninth Division!
Lu Shan couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and the big stone pressing on his chest for many days finally removed part of it.
At noon on the 27th, Lei Dong sent the detailed battle report back to the headquarters, and did not hesitate to praise the female soldiers for their contributions!
Not only do you ask for me, but you also ask for me!
The female soldier company paid more than half of the casualties and crushed the Japanese conspiracy to break through the Eagle-billed Rock. The Japanese soldiers who were still killed in the last counterattack were overturned. According to rough statistics on the battlefield, how big is the Japanese army that died in the hands of the female soldier company? This is the number of Japanese infantry brigades.
Among them, there were 67 people who died under Liu Yuyao's gun. There were statistics on them, so I don't know how many people were missing!
Liu Yuyao carried nearly five bases of ammunition, one base was fifty. At the end of the battle, she had more than thirty rounds left. In addition, there were many female soldiers who remembered to hand her magazines in the middle. Overall, it was estimated that after this battle, Liu Yuyao fired more than 300 bullets.
According to her hit rate of at least 50% (the battlefield is different from training, training can reach 90% or even 100%, on the battlefield, it is good to have more than 10% of ordinary soldiers. The stronger ones are 30%, and the stronger ones are more than 50%. The hit rate of special forces is at least 70%. Of course, this is a case of chaos. If it is precise strikes such as assassination and assassination, then it is 100% required!
It is already quite impressive that Liu Yuyao can create half of the hit rate. She is just a recruit, and many aspects need to be improved!
However, such a high killing rate still shocked many people in the front line of the Southern Front. I am afraid that few people in the entire Eastern League can achieve such a record. Even in the direct team, few people have such a terrifying record in a battle.
Shanzhu, whom she traveled with, also performed very well. But in comparison, it was somewhat inferior, with only 43 shooting results.
The female soldiers in the female soldier company have more or less certain shooting results, at least one or two.
But there were less than seventy people who could walk down the battlefield, and the remaining twenty were injured, with seventeen serious injuries.
When they returned to the camp, they all seemed to crawl out of mud and water. Some fell to the ground and fainted, while some could not even hold the guns, and the male soldiers didn't know that they were carried back.
As the company commander, Liu Yuyao even returned to the camp and fell asleep on the bed.
A battle lasts for several hours, not only is it a huge physical consumption, but also the consumption of mental power. In addition to the environment, it was pure physical strength at the beginning, but later it was a competition of willpower. Whoever has stronger willpower can walk alive from the battlefield.
"Shanzhu, Mr. Lu personally signed the order, and the female soldiers will be awarded the collective special merits!" Lei Dong excitedly called Shanzhu to the front.
"Commander-in-chief, is this true?" Shanzhu's eyes lit up, and all the fatigue disappeared at this moment.
"Of course it's true. Can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing?"
"That's great, I'll tell them to go!" Shanzhu Sa ran away.
"This kid!" Lei Dong smiled, looked at the back of Shanzhu running away, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
"Commander-in-chief, your apprentice is good!" Sun Mingchen walked over with a smile.
"Haha. It's normal." Lei Dong said it, and he was still very happy. Although the number of enemies killed by the mountain pillars this time was not as good as that of Liu Yuyao, he could not escape the first-class merit. This master's face was also honored.
"The results of the battle have been counted. We won a battle this time, but we didn't get much advantage!" Sun Mingchen said with a smile.
"We can't always worry about the cheapness." Lei Dong smiled, "and cheapness is not that easy to get."
"That's right, the Japanese are not those boneless puppet soldiers, it's really hard to fight!" Sun Mingchen realized something.
"If it's easy to fight, why do we have to deal with the Japanese army like this?" Lei Dong said, "What we need to do next is to empty all the machines and Japanese industries in Benxi!"
"High headquarters has made up its mind to give up Benxi?" Sun Mingchen said.
"Our battle with the Japanese is a long-term one. Even if we have won some victory temporarily, if we want to completely drive the Japanese out of China, we still have to be strong ourselves." Lei Dong explained.
"But with our current strength, we can compete with the Japanese army!" Sun Mingchen said.
"Zhang Hanqing holds hundreds of thousands of heavy troops, and his strength is better than us. He doesn't dare to fight against the Japanese. Why?"
"Afraid of the enemy is like a tiger!" Sun Mingchen said angrily.
"It is certainly one aspect of fearing the enemy. The more important thing is to start a war. He feels that the Northeast Army has no chance of winning, so he must preserve his strength!" Lei Dong said, "If he fights all the troops with the Japanese in the Northeast, he can certainly gain the respect and praise of the Chinese people, but the Northeast Army is completely gone. Without the army, can Zhang Hanqing still be his deputy commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army and the chairman of the Beiping Military Branch?"
"Those who care about personal interests but forget the righteousness of the country and the nation are really worthy of being the commander of the army!" Sun Mingchen said hatefully.
"Haha, let's not talk about whether he has a personal reason, but it is not completely wrong to preserve his strength. How many people in the Northeast Army have been bribed by the Japanese, and the remaining young men and women, they can't see the true face of the Japanese at all. They really think that the Japanese will sincerely help them establish a Manchukuo?" Lei Dong said, "Maybe many people have never thought that it would be worse if they fight?"
"What's the meaning?"
"After the Japanese launched an incident, how many Northeast Army generals sold themselves and defected after the rebellion, was it just because of the non-resistance policy, or because Zhang Hanqing did not resist Japan?" Lei Dong sneered.
"Why is that?"
"The Northeast Army is too weak!" Lei Dong smiled and said, "You and I have been in the Northeast Army. When we knew that the Northeast Army might be a powerful team in the country, we were too weak, with poor weapons and serious lack of equipment and training. They saw through us. Even if there was no order to resist, the Japanese would not launch an invasion?"
"Indeed, our strength is too poor, otherwise why would our vast China be bullied by a jumping clown like this!" Sun Mingchen said gritting his teeth.
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten, so we must become stronger!" Lei Dong said, "If you want to become stronger, you must endure humiliation. King Goujian of Yue was able to sleep on firewood and taste gall, and finally restore the country successfully. Han Xin also endured the humiliation under his crotch and eventually destroyed Western Chu for the Han Dynasty. These examples tell us that when we are not strong, we must endure and must not act voluntarily, otherwise it will not only be ourselves, but also thousands of compatriots!"
"Commander-in-chief, I understand what you mean. Although we have won the battle now, we are not able to directly fight against the Japanese. If we force ourselves, we will not only not defeat the Japanese, but also may ruin ourselves!" Sun Mingchen is not a fool either. Lei Dong said that he had gained this position, and he would really be stupid.
"Yes, that's what I mean!" Lei Dong said, "These words were taught by President Lu. I didn't understand them very well before. Later, I gradually understood that defeating the enemy does not necessarily mean knocking him down with one punch, but knocking him to the ground, then stepping on him, and trampling him on his feet forever, and never having a chance to turn over!"
"Yes, we want to make the little Japanese have no chance to turn over!" Sun Mingchen said gritting his teeth and gritting his teeth.
"Although Benxi is rich in iron ore, the Japanese may not be able to mine these iron ore even after 180 years of mining. Give them some sweetness first, and then take them back when we have the strength. Then we will accept these mining equipment and smelting equipment in Benxi. With these equipment, we can mine and make steel. At that time, we can build our own guns and cannons. As long as we can independently create arms and have our heavy industry, we will have the ability to compete with the Japanese." Lei Dong said.
"What if we get these equipment away, what about the workers?"
"Take all those who are willing to leave, and don't force them if you don't want to leave!" Lei Dong said.
"Not only Benxi, Fushun will do this!" said Lei Dong. "With these machines and workers, we can mine coal mines and iron ore by ourselves, then smel, build machines, and build our own factories."
"If the Japanese want to rebuild this place, they may have to spend another lot of money!" Sun Mingchen said.
"Of course, but that's good. They spend money to buy it. When it's ours, why not do it?" Lei Dong smiled.
Chapter completed!
