blood feud

The two infantry companies attacking Yinzhuang and Jiaozhuang, after receiving the order, found the mortar platoon and heavy machine gun platoon that had been strengthened for themselves, and then set off immediately after a little grouping.

Everyone knew very well that the shelling time for the county seat and the surrounding city walls was only one hour.

Because they had to conceal their whereabouts before, they were far away from the enemy. Now the two companies are still two kilometers away from their target.If the attack cannot be launched before the shelling is over, the trouble will be much greater.

Naturally, the enemy could also see the sparkling flames in the direction of the county town behind him, as well as the dull sound of explosions.

No matter what kind of troops, no matter how tenacious fighting will he has, the moment his base camp and high command are hit, there will definitely be great psychological fluctuations, and now is the time when the enemy is restless.

As soon as the two forwards moved, the third infantry battalion had already followed.They just want to charge without hesitation while the two companies are attacking.Then cross the enemy's defensive position and go straight behind the enemy.

This is a desperate tactic of taking a chestnut from the fire, and there is no room for opportunism.Cao Renhou has been in the army for many years, and today he was forced to formulate such a desperate battle plan.

Now, except that there may be no enemies in the south, a large number of enemy reinforcements are coming from the other three directions at any time.If it becomes a stalemate, even if the entire independent division is involved, it will not be able to complete the campaign goal in the end.

Since it is necessary to take the chestnut out of the fire, especially the head of a general among millions of troops, the most critical point is that all offensives must be "as fast as the wind and rain, as fast as lightning; do not regret the shot, and seal the throat with a sword."

Especially if you want to deal with the elite troops of the little devils, you must not fight in a stalemate, especially if you can't fight in broad daylight.

The sudden outbreak of fighting at night can destroy the little devil's planes and cannons, and also make the ground reinforcements confused and make decision-making troublesome.

Because of this, Bai Shujie's battle order required that the battle start at eight o'clock in the evening, and the battle last for eight hours, that is, end the battle before four o'clock in the morning, and then move urgently.

When the plan for annihilating the 6th Division of the Little Devils was first formulated, Bai Shujie planned to start the campaign on the night when the Little Devils occupied the county, that is, the night of September 1937, 9.

But after Zhao Jinxi understood the purpose of Bai Shujie's painstaking efforts, he finally associated all his actions in the past two years, and was shocked by Bai Shujie's "foresight, unpredictable!"

Now that he has completely entered the expected track of his man, Zhao Jinxi quickly calmed down, reconsidered every detail of Bai Shujie's battle plan, and put forward many amendments.

The core modification is that the time that has been initiated must be postponed by one day!

Zhao Jinxi explained the original words to Bai Shujie: "The little devil launched an attack on the night when he entered the city. You can't be surprised, because you have to think about it from the perspective of the little devil. If it were you, you suddenly occupied a strange place. Can you sit back and relax and sleep soundly that night? No!"

"The battle process of capturing a place is restricted by the natural laws of battle, and it develops according to a kind of inertia. But once the battle is over, both the enemy and the enemy are like frightened birds, for fear that the other party will attack again and give yourself a carbine. So, Xiao On the night when the devils occupied Baoding, the entire army must have been on high alert."

"If we can postpone the start of the campaign by one day, the situation will be different. After a day, the little devil should have thoroughly cleaned up the entire unfamiliar environment, and at the same time completed the reconnaissance of the surrounding enemies. At this time, it is It was the first moment when I breathed a sigh of relief after the little devil's battle."

"When we start the battle, we should seize this momentary opportunity, which is also a fleeting moment. The little devil has fought for seven days in a row, which is the most tiring time period for a person. Once he relaxes a little, the whole person will I feel like my whole body is falling apart, and I don’t want to move as long as I lie on the bed.”

"If an attack is launched after the third day, the campaign goal of completely annihilating the 6th Division will not be achieved. Because this kind of elite troops will definitely not be used as local defenders. As long as it is a little more stable, the 6th Division will definitely It will be launched immediately. When the new combat order is issued, officers at all levels will become highly nervous again, and the best opportunity will be lost."

For Zhao Jinxi's incisive exposition, the entire front army headquarters were fascinated by it.Bai Shujie was even more admiring, and thought to himself: "The junior college students of this period really put in a lot of effort in their studies, no wonder they can be called scholars!"

As for the decision-making process of the high-level headquarters, the specific commanders and fighters below are not clear.However, there is the most important point, which is also the core that makes Cao Renhou's blood boil!

That is, Bai Shujie dared to use one division, plus two regiments to fight more with less, and cleanly and thoroughly eat up a special class A division of the enemy, and he was also the commander-in-chief of the former enemy!

This is an epoch-making battle for the Chinese people, and it is also a battle that will be recorded in the annals of history forever!If it wasn't for his duty, Cao Renhou really wanted to replace the commander of the third battalion and lead the assault battalion to attack the east gate.

The two strikers lived up to everyone's hopes, because they made the same decision:

That is to concentrate all their mortar platoons on the charge road of the 18rd Infantry Battalion. The 30 mortars are placed in a line with a distance of 2 meters, and ten rounds are fired rapidly when they go up.There was a slight pause for [-] minutes, and another ten rapid-fire shots!

In less than 15 minutes, the enemy's defense line was blasted into a hole more than 500 meters wide!

The moment the last batch of grenades were ejected, the commander of the third battalion took the Czech machine gun in his hand and roared at the same time: "The whole battalion has them, die for the motherland, come with me—"

Not only did the [-]rd Infantry Battalion rush forward, but the two vanguard companies moved even faster, as if two throwing knives flew out of their hands, splitting up and attacking their respective siege targets!

Without hesitation, they used their flesh and blood to form two human walls to block the north and south flanks of the third infantry battalion's charge passage, ensuring that the third infantry battalion would not suffer losses here.Only in this way can we use the most powerful force to attack the enemy's defensive position at the East City Gate with all our strength.

A little devil is a little devil, although his base camp is being bombed destructively, the head office has lost contact, and now he is being bombarded suddenly, but the little devils on the front line are still fighting on their own, refusing to retreat. It can be regarded as rock solid.

The two strikers rushed up to face each other and lost more than 20 people.However, the speed of the soldiers' impact became faster and faster, and they fought bravely to be the first.

They poured into the enemy's trenches on the blood of the martyrs, and the battle began with hand-to-hand combat, which kicked off the prelude to the offensive and defensive capture of the county.

Combat starts out as hand-to-hand combat, which is rarely seen.

But this time is the only way out of nowhere. Only by clinging to the little devils on the first line of defense can the main force attacking the city be relieved of the pressure from the enemy.

A deadly battle naturally has a deadly tactics.

All officers and soldiers of the Rao'an Independent Division have made all preparations, and no one expects to be alive tomorrow morning!

The infantry battalion of the Rehe Front Army did not have rifles. Except for one-third of the people in the two vanguard companies were Czech-style light machine guns, the remaining two-thirds were submachine guns snatched from the Dagu Shipbuilding.

Everyone had 10 magazines and 2 barrels wrapped around their waists, no ammo hands, no follow-up reinforcements.If they are the first to rush and fight face to face, they cannot suppress a squadron of little devils in front of them, and get the little devils' weapons to supplement themselves, the consequences will become very serious.

The two reinforced mortar platoons have now started intercepting shelling, specifically targeting reinforcements on the north and south sides.

The heavy machine gun platoon built a temporary position with the fastest movement, and began to suppress the enemy's defensive positions on the north and south wings.

All of this is done in a flash, but the rhythm of each level is clear and methodical.Because for this moment, the Rao'an Independent Division trained secretly for two years.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while is fully reflected in the soldiers of the two forward companies today.

The soldiers are determined to die, and they are indomitable, coupled with the intensive and continuous continuous firepower.The little devil shot a bucket with the sub-machine gun crookedly, and the moment when all five bullets in the rifle were fired, the opportunity finally came!Rifles without bullets and crooked light machine guns are worse than fire sticks in front of submachine guns.

After 3 minutes of close combat, the two companies finally occupied a trench of more than 100 meters in the little devil's trench.Yinzhuang in the north and Jiaozhuang in the south were completely separated, and the first tactical goal was achieved.

The two wings clamp down and the center breaks through.This is a set of tactics that the little devil is most proud of. In the end, Cao Renhou beat him to pieces with a move of "using his own way to deal with his own body"!

The central impact channel has been expanded to more than 700 meters, and the mortar company and heavy machine gun company of the third infantry battalion have been strengthened. They dare not neglect and speed up to pass quickly.

At 1937:9 on the evening of September 25, 20, the third infantry battalion that attacked the east gate of Qingyuan County, all safely passed the first line of defense of the little devils and rushed to the east of the moat.

Now, except for the flames of the explosion in the city, the other places are completely invisible.The third battalion commander picked up the binoculars and used the firelight in the city to observe the other side of the moat, and found that the blockhouses on the north and south sides outside the city gate were still intact.You can vaguely see the Type [-] heavy machine gun inside.

"Fuck! The quality of the little devils is really extraordinary. The county town has turned into a sea of ​​flames, and these little devils are still able to hold their ground. If it is the domestic army, they will all run away!"

The commander of the third battalion was a little bit aggrieved: "These little devils are sitting on the Diaoyutai, and I will be in trouble!"

It was useless to be impatient, and the third battalion commander kept scanning the other side of the moat with his binoculars. Except for the two positions on both sides of the Dongmen Bridge, he finally found the Kuixing Tower to the north of the city wall!

"Fuck, what are the artillerymen doing? Such an obvious commanding height is still standing tall. Isn't this a problem for me?" The third battalion commander turned his head and shouted in a low voice: "Immediately send a telegram to the artillery regiment. The two heavy machine gun positions, as well as the Kuixing Tower on the city wall, were blown up!"

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
