War of Resistance

Chapter 1177: Battle of Yankou Attack ([-])

It was also the arrival of these civilian men that made Zhang Tianhai full of confidence in this river crossing operation - he must catch the little devils by surprise, and let these little devils see what a real elite is.

In this quiet night, on the simple pontoon bridge made of bamboo and wood, the officers and soldiers of the Ninth War Zone Guard Force crossed the river at a very fast speed. The infantry companies of each battalion passed first, and the "big guys" passed last. "Compared with the fast-moving infantry units, the transportation of the machine gun company is more difficult. The reason is that the heavy machine guns, these iron guys, except for the bamboo rafts to transport part of them, the rest The next thing is to rely on the simple pontoon bridge.

It took a full four hours, and the officers and soldiers of the theater guard finally completed the vanguard crossing the river.

Zhang Tianhai looked at the cavalry battalion and Feilei artillery troops behind him, hesitated for a while, but said: "Cavalry battalion cross the river!"

When the cavalry battalion started to cross the pontoon bridge, Zhang Tianhai said to Li Chunfei who was next to him: "Chunfei, it's up to you here. I'll go first. Our troops have already passed nearly 5000 people. Now the cavalry battalion has also passed. I'm going to go check it out."

"Commander, why don't you let the guards go with you! Otherwise, no one will order you when you pass." Li Chunfei reminded.

Zhang Tianhai shook his head and said, "No need, the guard company will go there with the other troops of the regiment headquarters! It is enough for me to have Xiao Xu. Besides, none of the guard troops in the theater know what I, Zhang Tianhai, look like."

Li Chunfei hesitated to speak, but he finally nodded and said, "Okay, since the commander-in-chief has made your decision, I will obey the order."

"Okay!" Zhang Tianhai nodded, and then crossed the river with Xu Xun. In order not to affect the cavalry battalion crossing the river, he followed the bamboo raft.

……

The camera turns to the north bank of the Xinqiang River.

At this time, although the corners on the north bank of the Xinqiang River were full of national army troops, they all remained silent. The front enemy headquarters of the guard troops had issued a gag order before departure. In case of an emergency, you are not allowed to speak, even if you speak, you can only speak softly.

All the officers and soldiers knew that this was a surprise battle, and they had to cross the river without the enemy noticing, otherwise the entire army would be exposed, and everyone in the army would be in danger!Because their opponent is the very brutal Japanese "Beast Division" Sixth Division!
At this time, Lu Shaojie, the commander of the first battalion of the first security regiment, was holding a military map in his hand, and the flashlight was covered with a cloth, which was why the light was so weak.

"Damn it, stay here for another night." Lu Shaojie murmured in a voice that only he could hear.

I saw that this military map was a map about the deployment of the vicinity of Yuankou Town, which was found out by the secret service company when it was conducting reconnaissance and investigation in the area of ​​​​Yuankou Town.

On the map, the attack targets of each unit are clearly marked, and the specific targets are even marked to the villages, and there are strict restrictions on how long they can break through!

If it were normal, Lu Shaojie would definitely not have this confidence. After all, the little devil's equipment is quite good. If they want to break through in a short time, isn't that a joke?But it was different now, with 32 powerful flying thunder cannons assisting in the battle, if a village could not be breached within three hours, it must be their own fault.

Regarding the power of the Feilei Cannon, Zhang Tianhai once organized the main officers of the theater guards to watch it, and the specific parameters were also explained to a certain extent.

Lu Shaojie believes that as long as his more than 30 flying thunder cannons are aimed at the village and the enemy's bunker group, they will be able to blow up quickly.

Besides, at the military meeting before departure, Zhang Tianhai issued a specific combat plan, basically targeting the seven villages on the outskirts of Yuankou Town, and each unit also had clear combat objectives.

After the plan was confirmed, Zhang Tianhai even made the decision not to let his artillery battalion participate in the battle-because the combat target had been subdivided into villages, as long as half of the troops could complete the combat mission according to the set target, then the combat troops would be able to start at ten o'clock in the morning. At one point encircled the town of Yuankou and launched a general attack on the town of Yuankou.

The cavalry battalion is the main force of the general offensive reserve. In addition to its strong mobility and firepower, it also carries three flying mine cannon units, that is, 96 flying mine cannons. If it is counted, there are more than three If more infantry troops participated in the siege, then the number of Feilei cannons involved in the siege of Yunkou Town reached an astonishing two hundred!

Of course, two hundred doors is an approximate number, but there is not much difference between a few more or less.

If I had to use an analogy, it would be that when three and a half young men were fighting with a group of strong men, they secretly aimed at one of the strong men alone and attacked them, not to mention three-on-one, and they all brought big knives , This is not to give up if you don't hack people to death!

It's a pity that Xiong Wuzhenglang, the commander of the No. 40 Fifth Regiment of the Japanese Army who was sleeping soundly at this time, didn't know about this, otherwise he would have scolded: "Damn the Chinese army, you are so cunning!"

Zhang Tianhai and all the officers of the theater security force are fully prepared for this attack, especially in terms of material preparation and tactical preparation-in order to enable the troops to achieve the effect of separate attacks and joint attacks and prevent the various troops from lacking cooperation. As for the possibility of danger, Zhang Tianhai even made arrangements for him, Guo Qiliang and Li Chunfei to command part of the troops during the battle on the north bank.

Time always flies by. In just one night, the main force of the guards in the ninth war zone quietly crossed the Xinqiang River, and even the Feilei Cannon troops quietly passed through.

So the question is, why can the Feilei Cannon troops cross the Xinqiang River so quickly?This had to be prepared with Zhang Tianhai and other major officers.

At that time, around the issue of how the Flying Thunder Cannon troops could quickly keep up with the attacking troops, and how the Flying Thunder Cannon’s logistics troops could quickly catch up, the senior management of the theater guards held a meeting to study solutions.

Later, the plan was discussed, and after everyone's unanimous evaluation, it was necessary to use a large number of trolleys to solve this problem!

The solution given by the senior management of the security force is that, in addition to urgently purchasing a batch of wooden handcarts from Changsha and other places, they also enlist civilian craftsmen to manufacture a large number of handcarts and purchase them at a reasonable price.

It has to be said that the measures taken by the security forces in the theater are quite effective. In just one month, nearly [-] trolleys were obtained within the security forces.

Of course, the quality of some trolleys must be quite poor, but they can always cope with this combat operation.

……

After a night of rushing, the main force of the Ninth War Zone Guard Force and the Flying Thunder Artillery Force have passed. Then, according to the established plan, the simple pontoon bridge will be temporarily dismantled!
This is not because Zhang Tianhai wants to engage in some ridiculous tactics like a last stand, but because he has to hide from the eyes of the Japanese aircraft. This plan has been fully prepared, so that there will be no mistakes!
When making this plan, Zhang Tianhai convened the other eight main officials for a whole night meeting, and that's how it came out!
