Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 567 You are very bad old man
This is the first infiltration and reverse infiltration battle on the Chinese battlefield, which lasted a total of two days and one night.

The Japanese army dispatched 163 elite troops, and the Chinese dispatched about 600 troops.

The final outcome was that the Chinese side killed 159 people, and the Japanese side recovered more than 140 corpses after the war. One side won and the other lost.

Since this campaign, the 36th Infantry Brigade and the 18th Division have never engaged in such a stupid thing of sending heads behind enemy lines during the entire war.

Obviously, this victory, almost similar to a special battlefield, was not just as simple as killing more than 100 Japanese troops, but that the Japanese army no longer had the ability to detect the movements of the entire Jiaxing army from the ground.

All battlefield reconnaissance relies on the Navy's reconnaissance planes dispatching every two hours.

But in this era, there is no such thing as an all-weather fighter. A fighter needs good enough weather to take off.

For example, in the case of dense fog and rain, the fighter plane can only stop on the deck. Even if the army millipedes repeatedly request that the fighter plane takes the risk to take off, looking at the chaotic ground in the sky, it is blind.

The Jiaxing front line waited for their own luck, and on the second day after arriving at the Jiaxing defense line, it ushered in a foggy day.

Now, the three commanders with serious faces in the headquarters all smiled.

"Pass me an order to electrify the war zone. The whole Jiaxing defense line will defend Jiaxing to the death and fight the Japanese invaders to the last man." Wu Zhong will slam his fist on the table.

"Pass me an order that the 36th Brigade will launch an attack from the left wing and invest no less than 2000 troops; the 23rd Brigade will launch an attack from the center with no less than 3000 troops; the 35th Infantry Brigade will launch an attack from the right wing and invest The strength of the troops must not be less than 3000, and there are 12 regiments of field artillery, with three basic ammunition, and the artillery fire is prepared for 30 minutes, and the artillery fire is extended backwards for 3000 meters.” Five kilometers away, Ushishima Sadao of the 18th Division Division Headquarters was in the communication unit After intercepting the Chinese message, the military order was issued in almost the same gesture.

"I believe you ghost! You are a bad old man!" Your Excellency, the lieutenant general of the Japanese army who is over sixty years old, will not be fooled by the Chinese again.

The scene in Songjiang [-] days ago is still vivid in my mind. The Chinese also made electricity and said they would stick to Songjiang and Songjiang City to survive and die together. As a result, they ran faster than a rabbit that night, and ran [-] kilometers in five or six hours.

The 18th Division, which was in charge of encircling Sanjueyi's 'one', ambushed in the wilderness north of the city. Although Commander Yanagawa Heisuke did not yell at Ushishima Sadao's face, the rest of his colleagues had no such scruples. The eccentric tone at the military meeting made the 60-year-old man very angry.

In addition to the heavy fog, the reconnaissance plane could not take off. This is the best time to retreat. The Chinese must want to run away again.

If he still stands still.

In order to hold back the Chinese army that had already entered the reinforced concrete line of defense, Ushishima Sadao really used his breastfeeding strength this time. The 36 field artillery of the field artillery unit under his command almost used half of the ammunition reserves. With 100 shells, nearly 8000 infantry were invested, accounting for one-third of the total force.

It's a pity that he still doesn't understand Chinese people too much.

The Chinese have always paid attention to promises and promises, and they will do what they say.

Under the order of the supreme commander, nearly 12000 infantrymen from the three infantry divisions entered the trenches, and all the artillery under their command raised their muzzles. The artillerymen sweated profusely and moved all the few shells that had already been made to the underground shell storage point.

I didn't mean to deceive anyone, but I was going to fight the Japanese army hard.

As for cheating everyone in Songjiang last time, that was Tang Dao's bad idea, and it had nothing to do with Wolongfengchu, at least those two thought so.

Although the Jiaxing National Defense Line still bears the most prominent imprint of this era—the bean curd dregs project, it still has the appearance it should have.

The entire defense line is divided into the first line and the second line. The distance between the first line trenches and the second line trenches is nearly 400 meters, and there are a considerable number of traffic trenches connected.There will be a garrison point every 300 meters in the second-line trenches. Although the reinforced concrete fortifications with a thickness of 70 cm are far below the original standard of 200 cm for 120 mm heavy artillery, the protection against 75 mm mountain artillery is still the same.

Unfortunately, Ushishima Sadao no longer has a heavy artillery brigade to help out, whether it is the 18mm field artillery of the 12th Field Artillery Wing belonging to the 75th Division, or the 36mm artillery of the Mountain Artillery Brigade attached to the 75th Infantry Brigade. Millimeter mountain cannons are still very good for field battles, but for this kind of permanent reinforced concrete fortifications, they are useless without a ball.

From the shelling of the Japanese artillery, the Chinese soldiers in the first-line trenches collectively withdrew to the second-line trenches through the traffic trenches.

An infantry company is distributed in about two bomb defense holes. Listening to the violent explosions outside, the soldiers are rarely pale and waiting for the judgment of fate. .

Without heavy artillery, the small-caliber artillery of the Japanese could not penetrate the artillery fortifications where they were located. Only when the Japanese infantry came up was their battlefield.

But this time, the commander did not demand every inch of land as before, and even allowed the Japanese infantry to completely occupy the empty trenches under the cover of artillery fire, which puzzled the soldiers.

However, the military order is like a mountain, and they can only follow it.

Compared with the "confusion" of the Chinese soldiers staying in a safe place, the Japanese infantry were actually very disturbed.

They have been dealing with this army for more than [-] days, and they know how powerful this Chinese army is. When did they give up their trenches so easily?
There are only two possibilities for this. One is that they took advantage of the thick fog to run away with the whole army as His Excellency the Division Chief said; the other is naturally a conspiracy.

God bless Amaterasu, the first one is the best. Under the cover of continuous artillery fire, the Japanese infantry who entered the frontline trenches prayed in their hearts.

It is a pity that Amaterasu, who has always been believed by the Japanese, abandoned them again.

In the underground bunker, Lieutenant General Wu watched the 'shit yellow' shadow looming in the thick fog through the binoculars, his eyes were stern: "All the artillery in the army, fire, don't be stingy with the shells, as much as I have, I will shoot as much as I have."

This may be the second time that the Chinese artillery have been so extravagant. Before this, they only received such an order when Tang Dao asked to "fire at me" in the battle of Cangcheng. Since then, no matter how difficult the battle is, Jingui The shells are always counted as 'shots'.

They also understand the difficulties of the commanders. After the Battle of Songjiang, they have nothing to add, and the shells are fired one round less.

Now, it's finally open to play.

With all the lights on, they can just go on the road lightly, and the Jiaxing Command, which has received the military order from the theater command and can decide whether to fight or withdraw, no longer has any scruples at the moment.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The three heavy mortar battalions and the three mountain artillery battalions behind the Jiaxing defense line opened fire at the same time.

This is the confidence of the three commanders who dared to give up the first-line trenches.

They have guns.

All the large gun holes were placed in the second-line trenches, which did not have this function in the first-line trenches.

Especially the three heavy mortar battalions with 150 mortars, the coordinates of the first-line trenches have long been in their shooting elements.

Curved guns are the best weapon for fighting trenches, not one of them.

Blossoms of bullets exploded inside and outside the first-line trenches that had been occupied by the Japanese army, blasting the still nervous Japanese army into howls of ghosts and wolves.

At this moment, they finally felt relieved. This wave of artillery fire at least made them understand that this was a trap, and it had been there from the beginning.

The various types of mortars owned by the Chinese are sufficient to ensure that they cover the battlefield between the first and second lines with a depth of 500 meters.

The Japanese army who reacted did not fail to respond. A considerable part of the Japanese army gritted their molars and braved artillery fire under the leadership of the squadron leaders.

After all, this is a defense line with a width of more than 12000 meters, but it is impossible for dozens of artillery to cover this vast area.

Moreover, Ushishima Sadao also sent an armored vehicle brigade directly under the division, with a full 16 tanks cooperating with their attack.

However, the Chinese soldiers who rushed out of the artillery hole and entered the trenches of the second line of defense were far more than them. Apart from the various types of rifles that started shooting, there were also heavy machine guns hiding in the semi-underground fortifications. The Oerlikon 20mm machine gun for air defense also joined the battle.

"There is no need to be stingy with ammunition. This battle is to fight the 18th Division so painfully that the old devil Ushishima Sadao will become an honest boy for me from now on." issued military orders.

Nearly [-] people with full firepower hid in the perfect fortifications, shooting at the shadowy "shit yellow" in the dense fog without any scruples.

However, the Japanese either stayed in the slightly crude first-line trenches and were bombed, or they were attacking forward and suffered a head-on blow.

However, after [-] minutes of fighting, four of the tanks that could be used by the soldiers to advance to the bunker were destroyed, and the four infantry squads that followed the tanks were torn apart by the ferocious machine guns and the mortar shells that followed the tanks. into pieces.

The Japanese army's so-called artillery fire extending 3000 meters backward is destined to be nothing but a joke.

Not to mention that the Chinese army had no intention of retreating, but they really retreated. In such a fog, the Japanese army thought that the intensive artillery fire was nothing more than cannonballing mosquitoes-a few blind shots.

But if it doesn't extend, why not shrink back and fight? The position is basically full of Japanese infantry, and the Chinese are hiding in solid fortifications. Is it fun to blow up your own people?
Ushishima Sadao, who personally approached the front line to supervise the battle, looked so ugly that he just ate a big bus!

However, in such weather, it is difficult to give him something warm.
