Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 1165 Bombardment on Highland No. [-]!

Master Ridge!
At this time, Duan Wu was directing a battle of encirclement and annihilation without any suspense.

The purpose of the Dragon Boat Festival is to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the Tenth Regiment of the Japanese Army guarding on Highland No. [-].

This is a group of abandoned children, and there is no army to rescue them at this time.

It can be said that the devils on the mountain are desperate at this time.Although Kitashirakawa drew a big cake for Akashiba Yaezo, the Japanese 26th Brigade could not break through the blockade of Zhou Weiguo, Qiu Ming, and the Eighth Route Army of the 115th Division.

It can also be said that due to the addition of a brigade of the Eighth Route Army, new variables appeared in the battle situation in Huainan.

And the Dragon Boat Festival likes to fight this kind of battle the most.Because there were many variables on the battlefield, it was easy for him to use tricks. Instead, he fought the siege battle in a rigid manner. The large number of casualties of the soldiers made him feel distressed.

So at this time, since the little devil doesn't want this lone army anymore, he doesn't mind destroying it in one fell swoop.

It's just that the little devil's resistance is very tenacious.Akashiba Yaezo was also an excellent Japanese commander.If Bei Shirakawa hadn't regarded him as an abandoned son, he would have found a way to escape.

But there was no way, if he disobeyed Kitashirakawa's order at this time, his fate would probably be worse than death.

Therefore, although it is unwise for Akashiba Yaezo to stick to the No. [-] highland, he still wants to stay here.

Moreover, Akashiba Yaezo is not a person who likes to sit and wait to die.Although it is almost impossible for his reinforcements to arrive in a short time.But what if?
In case Prince Beibai wins, and Prince Beibai's old conscience finds out, he will come to rescue him.

Of course, no matter what the reason for this reinforcement is, it's fine.Maybe Prince Beibai Nian came to save him for his loyalty, or maybe Prince Beibai simply wanted to kill Duanwu.It is certain that this battle plan is to encircle and suppress Duan Wu and his independent regiment.

So Akashiba Yaezo thought about it and made a final fight.What's more, he still has the strength of two brigades in his hands at this time.

Although the two infantry brigades were not full, there were about 800 soldiers including wounded soldiers.With so many imperial troops, Akashiba Yaezo guessed that he would have no problem staying on the mountain for two to three days.

Just food and water, very short.

Almost all their baggage was lost during the retreat.Even if the food that each soldier carries is saved, it can only last for two days.

But the most scarce thing is water.Chichai Yaezo has ordered that every soldier should not be convenient.And if it is convenient, the water out of the urine should be collected back.

In other words, the little devil is ready to drink urine.

Of course, Akashiba Yaezo doesn't know how to drink. He has prepared ten pots of water for himself, which is enough for him to drink for two or three days.

In other words, Akashiba Yaezo expects that this battle will have a result in two or three days.

But the Dragon Boat Festival has no time to wait for the little devil for two or three days.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the little devil is looking for his own death at this time.Although the terrain of No. [-] Heights is dangerous.But there is a lack of water.

If the dragon boat siege does not attack, within three days, the little devils on the mountain will die of thirst even if they are not starved to death.

For example, the famous battle of Jieting in history was like this.

In the sixth year of Jianxing, the Queen of Shu, Zhuge Liang launched a northern expedition against Cao Wei in order to achieve the great cause of unification.He ordered Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi to be suspicious troops to occupy Jigu (now north of HZ City, Shaanxi Province), and personally led an army of 10 to raid Qishan (now Gansu), where the Wei army was guarding. Northeast of Qin'an County, Gansu).

Before leaving, Zhuge Liang repeatedly asked Ma Su: "Although the Jieting is small, it has a great relationship. It is the throat leading to Hanzhong. If we lose the Jieting, our army will surely lose." , must not be mistaken."

After Ma Di arrived at Jieting, he did not follow Zhuge Liang's instructions to deploy his troops near the mountains and rivers, but he was arrogant and underestimated the enemy, and wanted to deploy his army on Jieting Mountain far away from the water source on his own initiative.

At that time, Wang Ping, the deputy general, said: "Jieting has no water source and no grain road. If the Wei army besieged Jieting, cut off the water source and cut off the grain road, the Shu army would collapse without fighting."

Ma Di not only refused to listen to dissuasion, but said confidently: "Ma Di knows the art of war, everyone knows it, and even the prime minister sometimes has to ask me for advice, but you, Wang Ping, grew up in an army and couldn't write with your hands. What art of war do you know?"

Then Ma Di complacently said to Ged: "It is the common sense of military strategists to be condescending, to be as powerful as a broken bamboo, to die and survive. I will spread the army on the mountain so that it will never turn back. This is the secret of victory."

Ma Di was stubborn and deployed his army on the mountain, but was besieged by Cao Jun, defeated at Jieting, and finally beheaded by Zhuge Kongming.

So at this time, it is actually stupid for the little devil to cling to the No. [-] highland where there is no water and no food.

As for the Dragon Boat Festival, it is actually unwise to attack by force instead of besieging them.

But both sides have their own helplessness.Akashiba Yaezo did it because he knew he couldn't do it because he was ordered.

But the Dragon Boat Festival has no time, he needs a quick solution.

So a battle chapter that was truly written with wisdom and blood kicked off.

The Dragon Boat Festival ordered that Lu Jian and Wang Tong be on the right wing, and the independent regiment be on the left wing, attacking the Japanese army from east and west.

The troops on both sides are the main attackers, forcing the little devils to reinforce the east and west positions.

The devil's main position is at least 100 meters away from the east and west positions, and within this distance, the little devil's reinforcements will be unobstructed.

Sun Shiyu's artillery battalion has adjusted all the mountain artillery, rapid-fire artillery, and mortars.

Sun Shiyu is proofreading every gun in person.

Because of this battle, although the east and west troops were the main attackers, it was the little devil's reinforcements that were going to fight at the Dragon Boat Festival.

Regardless of the little devil's east and west positions or the main position, Akashiba Yaezo ordered the devil to dig a lot of bunkers.

These bunkers are sufficient to deal with general shelling.In addition, the height of the No. 80 highland is more than [-] meters. It is extremely difficult for ordinary mountain guns and rapid-fire guns to hurt the enemies in the trenches.

So shoot out the little devil, and then use the superior artillery fire to annihilate him in one fell swoop, destroying the enemy's vital strength.

What is the fight?It is these vital forces that are being fought.No matter how advanced the devil's weapons and equipment are, if no one uses them, they are just a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.

Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival, directly attacking the root of the war, has always been based on destroying the opponent's vital strength.

boom!Boom!

It was Zhu Shengzhong's department of the independent regiment who fired first.

Zhu Shengzhong's first battalion also had an artillery platoon. Although it was not as large as Sun Shiyu's artillery battalion, the entire platoon had four mortars and ten grenade launchers.

At this time, under the cover of the machine gunner, the mortar and the grenadier advanced to a position about 200 meters in front of the devil's position.

The engineers quickly excavated the soil and piled up the soil directly in front of the artillery position to block the shooting of the little devil machine gunners and snipers.

After the artillery was completed, they carried out carpet bombing on the Japanese positions.

Although the little devil had dug trenches in advance, the trenches were generally not deep when there were only a few engineers shoveling them.

So just after the first round of shelling by the artillery, the devils on the position killed and injured more than 30 people.

The devil officer yelled for artillery support.

However, the devil's artillery is condescending, and if they want to quickly blow up the artillery positions at the foot of the mountain, they not only need a lot of calculation time to avoid blowing up other than their own people, but also move the mortar to the predetermined position.

Most of the devil's artillery was lost in the previous battle.In the entire Japanese position, there was only one artillery squad at this time, with a total of four mortars and six grenadiers on the main position of No. [-] Heights.

But at this time, they had to support the battlefields on both sides of the east and west at the same time, and coupled with the shortage of devils' shells, they had to deal with them carefully.

It's just that, the devils in the east and west positions on No. [-] Highland complained endlessly, because at this time, it is definitely not only the devils in the east position who are being bombarded, but the devils in the west position are also encountering fierce fire from the Northeast Army and the Sichuan Army. bombardment! .
