Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 332
Lieutenant General of the Japanese Army is angry!
furious!
Hisao Tani imagined that today he might have to pay a huge price to break through the city wall of Songjiang.

But when the price came, he was extremely embarrassed.

Of course, the tactic of "voluntarily abandoning the position and covering with artillery fire" adopted by the Chinese was far beyond his expectations.

It's not that the tricks are too fresh, but very old-fashioned.

A similar trick was used by the Chinese in the Battle of Cangcheng a few hours ago.

When their own position is occupied, they will cover it with their own artillery fire, and even their own soldiers are on that position, reducing their own people and the enemy to ashes, which is cruel but extremely effective.

This almost cruel tactic made the Kunisaki detachment dare not garrison large-scale troops in Cangcheng, where troops could be stationed. Putting an infantry squadron was already the limit.

They would rather garrison troops in the ruins of neighborhoods that are more vulnerable to attack than place soldiers in positions that still have broken walls.

The military headquarters of the Tenth Army deliberately sent the battle reports from the West City to the Sixth Division and the No.18 Division at noon, hoping that they would learn more about the enemies they were about to face through these battle reports.

It is precisely because of his understanding that Tani Hisao did not have much anxiety about the Chinese bombarding their abandoned positions with artillery fire coverage like his subordinate Major General Tokutaro Sakai.

He judged that the Chinese commanders in the city who had already demonstrated certain commanding skills would not use similar tactics again, especially after the imperial infantry on the front line showed enough vigilance, it would only waste them. Lots of ammo in stock.

On this point, Hisao Tani’s judgment was correct. Although the Chinese artillery fire was fierce, it was not durable enough. After 10 minutes, the artillery fire stopped. It was indeed because the artillery shell storage could not be compared with that of the Japanese army.

But Hisao Tani made a mistake in the most critical tactical judgment.

The Chinese still changed the soup without changing the medicine, and their extremely resolute resistance turned out to be just a bait. Their ultimate goal was still to lure the Japanese infantry to leave the open wilderness and enter the narrow city, and then, a burst of artillery fire simmered.

However, the 10th Infantry Brigade did not need to report the battle damage caused by the 11-minute bombardment. Hisao Tani knew that it was definitely more serious than the extremely lively fights of bullets and bullets before.

Yes, what really annoyed Hisao Tani was not the loss of more than 1000 troops, but his complete defeat tactically.

What he thinks is a small probability, but the Chinese continue to use it without any new ideas.

Damn it, don't these Chinese people know the rule of 'Use your troops to no avail'?
But the fact is that in the first battle of the Sixth Division's official siege, the Sixth Division was completely defeated in terms of battle damage and tactical layout.

In this battle, the Chinese side killed more than 900 people, but on the Japanese side, except for the heavy machine gun squadron left behind, the most elite Sixth Infantry Battalion survived only 50 people from the four infantry squadrons. The two infantry squadrons of the Chinese army ran back halfway through rolling and crawling, and suffered more than 300 battle losses.

It's just that his furious Nakatani may not know that his defeat was not wronged.

In the far north, for the sake of the country and the nation, the army that took off its red five-pointed star hat badge and replaced it with a blue sky and white sun hat badge was led by a general who had never had anesthesia for eye surgery in the mountains of the Taihang Mountains. His subordinates set up an ambush against the Japanese army in the same small village three times during roughly the same period of time.

Gu Hisao’s colleagues on the battlefield in North China made exactly the same mistake as Gu Hisao. The book of war says “Using troops will never be repeated”, but they will not use the same tricks in a short period of time. But the book of war is dead, but people are alive. .

That guy not only used it, but also used it three times in a row, and what made the Japanese army even more embarrassed was that they were rubbed on the ground by a group of "Tubalu" who lacked guns and clothes all three times.

The first group was beaten all over the ground because of the unexpected attack, and the second group of rescue troops were surprised to find that they had also broken into the bag formation of "Tuba Road". The third group of reinforcements thought about "Tuba Road 'If he dares to come again, I really have to call him Dad.
Then, the magic of 'Tubalu' Youbaga appeared, and they really beat them to call Dad.

A battle in which three ambushes failed to wipe out hundreds of enemies was put into the lesson plans of the West Point Military Academy by the American cowboys after the war, and it is known as one of the top ten classic tactics in the world.

"Open the door and steal, break the old pattern of using troops. They have guns and we have guns. Songjiang City is full of battlefields!" This is the original text of the letter Tang Dao left to the brigade commander.

The little butterfly from the future naturally put this classic painting of gourds on the Songjiang battlefield, interpreting the essence of "what is empty is real, and what is real is empty" to the extreme.

To put it bluntly, Tani Hisao was not defeated by Tang Dao, but by one of China's best army generals.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and no matter how angry Tani Hisao was, he could not drive the main force of the infantry to fight the Chinese defenders in the dark.

The Japanese infantry retreated like a tide, taking away all the Japanese corpses that could be taken away in the wilderness, but the corpses left inside the city walls and in the mud had to be discarded.

The artillery observation post of the Japanese army could only roughly provide a few approximate coordinates. The Japanese heavy artillery brigade once again showed its power and bombarded several positions that might have artillery positions for half an hour.

Just relying on imaginary estimates, the effect of the shelling can be imagined.

The artillery positions, which lost a total of five artillery pieces in the first wave of the Japanese artillery brigade's attack, were left intact this time.

This made the Songjiang headquarters a little strange, strange because of the weak damage of its own artillery.

Because the Japanese army raised the observation balloon when the heavy artillery began to shell, at that time the smoke filled the Songjiang City, and it was understandable that they could not see the artillery positions, but when the artillery positions began to fight back, they jumped up The gunpowder smoke basically exposed the position of the position.

You must know that the two lieutenant generals in the headquarters had to think twice before making up their minds to concentrate all the artillery fire on the direction of the east city this time. Even if they fought hard and were knocked out by the Japanese heavy artillery for more than two artillery battalions, they had to resolutely fight back.

Its purpose is to frighten all the Japanese infantry. I can give you my position, but as long as my artillery is still there, you don't want to stay safe on it. The first to rush to the position, the faster you will die.

Their goal was achieved. When seven artillery battalions were assembled to fire on the thousand-meter-long city wall area of ​​the East City, hundreds of Japanese troops who were aggressively preparing to rush into the city to open up a forward position for the main force were submerged in the artillery fire. All lost their voices.

This trick of the Chinese people is very effective no matter how they stir up cold rice.

What if they are more ruthless and defend with a small force, let you attack with a large force, and wait for you to attack the position, and you will be able to come over with a cannon, what will happen?
To exchange human life for human life, the Tenth Army has more than [-] people, and I am afraid that half of the troops will be left here.

Obviously, that was not what the top and bottom of the Tenth Army hoped to see. They came from North China to Southeast China not just to conquer a small Chinese city, but to have lofty aspirations.

Not to mention the regiment and brigade leaders who had headaches, even Heisuke Yanagawa, who was more than ten kilometers away, was numb when he received the battle report from the front.

Because, for a while, he couldn't guarantee to destroy the Chinese artillery positions, because of the aggressiveness and stupidity of Gu Hisao.

Yes, the two Chinese lieutenant generals who both chose to bear the huge loss in artillery did not wait for the imagined loss. The main reason was that the Japanese army lost their most important eyes.

The little balloon was blown up.

By a Chinese army sergeant who was just trying to get over his fear.

And Mo Songzi, who has made great contributions, is still admitting his mistake to his company commander, begging him to give him two more springboards, because he didn't do anything, but he emptied four springboards .

"Fuck you! It's not for the sake of watching the guns. I put you in confinement. How dare you ask me for shells!" The army captain is a big man from the Northeast, and his voice is loud.

Good guy, I missed 80 rounds of shells without even hitting a single tank.Do you really think I made cannonballs?

For one cannon, the military is equipped with 300 rounds of shells. The main targets are the heavy firepower points and tanks of the Japanese army. Mo Songzi emptied 80 rounds of shells, but he failed to accomplish anything. He was assigned to the captain and company commander of the Air Defense Battalion of the Dongcheng District. He won't give his subordinate a good face.

"I didn't hit the tank, but I managed to hit a big balloon!" Mo Songzi muttered dejectedly.

Had he known this earlier, he would not have played balloons, and he could have saved a lot of shells.

"What are you talking about? Balloons?" The captain and company commander were stunned.

"How big is the balloon?"

"It's as big as a washbasin, but it's more than 1000 meters away. If it's placed here, it might be bigger than a house!" Mo Songzi recalled and gestured.

"you sure?"

"All my brothers can testify!"

"Haha! You bastard, wait here for me. I haven't come back, so I'm not allowed to go anywhere!" The captain laughed, slapped Mo Songzi hard on the chest, turned and left.

"What are you doing? If there are no shells, there will be no shells. Don't scare me, company commander. My 20 rounds can also kill the devil tank." Mo Songzi was startled.

"Scare you!" The captain smiled broadly. "It's a good thing!"
