Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The first to land was the 297th Regiment led by Zheng Ming. This regiment was the unit whose tanks sank into the sand during the Tsushima Island landing battle, and later snatched the Japanese missiles on Iki Island.After Zheng Ming went ashore, he first analyzed the deployment of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, and found that the deployment width of the 5th Division was a full 297 kilometers. Such a large deployment width, with the strength of the [-]th regiment, was definitely not enough to launch a full-line attack.

So Zheng Ming decided: choose a certain line of defense to launch a fierce attack, and it is best to attract large Japanese troops. If the large Japanese troops can encircle them, it will not only relieve the pressure on the defense troops on the western front of Fukuoka, but also create conditions for the follow-up troops to encircle and wipe out the Japanese troops. .

Zheng Ming immediately ordered: launch an attack on the 5th Regiment of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army!After giving an order, the troops quickly launched an attack on the position of the 20th Regiment, but the troops stopped halfway, but stopped suddenly. Zheng Ming hurriedly contacted the vanguard by radio: "What happened? Why don't you leave?"

The vanguard commander replied: "A large number of Japanese civilians without military uniforms appeared in front of us. Everyone carried weapons and blocked our way."

Zheng Ming said without thinking, "Don't look at them as civilians and don't wear military uniforms, but since they carry weapons, they are our enemies. We will destroy them all."

The commander of the vanguard force agreed, and with one charge, the civilian armed forces were beaten to pieces, and they hid in the distance and shot coldly. However, these civilians were extremely poorly equipped and the distance was so far that the bullets could not penetrate Lin Yuan's troops at all. On the amphibious vehicle, the commander of the Vanguard Force asked Zheng Ming, "Regimental Commander, should we dispatch troops to wipe out those troublemakers?"

Zheng Ming said: "It's too late now. The command of the Central Front Army Command is for us to launch an attack on the 5th Division as soon as possible. Those civilians pose no threat to us at all, so ignore them."

The 297th Regiment then dropped the civilians and continued to attack the 20th Regiment. At 21:07 on the evening of July 30, the 297th Regiment and the 20th Regiment's rear guards received fire, and the 20th Regiment immediately attacked the 5th Division. The head of the regiment, Asada Kogoro, sent a message: "Report to the head of the division, our department has encountered Lin Yuan's troops."

Asada Kogoro hurriedly asked, "How many people are there in Lin Yuan's army?"

Report from the 20th Wing: "The sky is too dark to be clear."

Asada Kogoro groaned secretly in his heart: "When we launched the attack, in order to break through the defense line of Lin Yuan's army as soon as possible, we put all the troops on the line of defense of Lin Yuan's army. There was no reserve team. Now we have no troops to resist Lin Yuan's army. Now, and it’s unclear how many Lin Yuan’s troops have come, what should we do?”

Asada Kogoro hurriedly asked Nogi Nozomi for help: "Report to General Nogi, Lin Yuan's troops have been found behind our troops, please support them quickly."

Nogi Xidian asked, "How many people are in Lin Yuan's army?"

Asada Kogoro replied helplessly: "Report to the general, we don't know how many people have come."

Nogi Nozomi said: "Okay, I see, I will mobilize the troops there." Nogi Noki put down the phone and said to Mizuki Nagata: "Mizuki, let's see which unit is closest to the 20th Regiment?"

Mizuki Nagata looked at the map and said, "The 101st Division is the closest to them."

Nogi Nozomi said: "Very well, order the 101st Division to transfer a wing to support the 20th Wing."

Mizuki Nagata said: "But the troops of the 101st Division used to take at least three hours. Now that it's dark again, it takes longer. I wonder if the 5th Division can hold it?"

Nogi Xidian said: "Don't think so much, transfer them over immediately!"

Mizuki Nagata agreed and ordered the 101st Division to mobilize troops to support the 20th Wing. At this time, on the battlefield of the 20th Wing, the battle situation has undergone new changes. It turns out that the 5th Division was withdrawn from North Korea , The fighting will of the Japanese troops withdrawing from North Korea is generally weak. This is the result of the political offensive of Lin Yuan's troops; moreover, the Japanese army has deified Lin Yuan's troops, so the fighting will is even weaker. At 297 o'clock in the evening, in the 20 regiment Half an hour after the offensive was launched, the Japanese [-]th Wing fell apart.

The 297th Regiment immediately attacked the 19th Regiment on the right. At this time, the 33th Regiment and 296th Regiment of the 295rd Division also landed and attacked the 5th Division. The defense of the 5th Division was torn apart for a while. Torn apart, Zhang Chuang, the commander of the 33rd Division, immediately sent a message to the Central Front Army Command: "Report to Commander Xiao, our department has successfully tore through the Japanese defense line!"

Xiao Yingwu immediately ordered the second and third divisions defending the west side of Fukuoka: "Launch a full-line counterattack." The second and third divisions immediately dispatched after receiving the order to launch an attack on the fifth division. Nogi Nozomi received the news Surprised, he thought to himself: "If the 5th Division is defeated, Lin Yuan's troops will encircle from the left flank of our troops. No matter what, Lin Yuan's troops cannot be allowed to come over!"

Nogi Nozomi picked up the phone on the table and said, "Get me the 5th Division!" But the telephone operator said, "Report to the general, the phone line seems to be cut off, and we can't get in touch with the 5th Division!"

Nogi Noki put down the phone and said to the communication soldier: "Turn on the radio and call the 5th Division!" But the communication soldier yelled at the radio for a while, but there was no answer at all on the radio, and the communication soldier said helplessly to Nogi Nozomi: "General, no respond!"

Nogi Nozomi thought in his heart: "The 5th Division seems to be collapsing. If I deploy troops to defend the left flank, Lin Yuan's troops will definitely counterattack aggressively. I might as well strengthen the offensive on the east front of Fukuoka, where we have an absolute advantage in strength! "

Nogi Nogi thought of this and sent a message to the 12th Division, 13th Division, 104th Division, and 105th Division on the Fukuoka East Front, ordering them to step up their offensive and make sure to defeat Lin Yuan's defense line within an hour!The four divisions then launched a more violent offensive: all the officers below the regimental commander, the communications soldiers, and the cooking soldiers all took up arms, and the officers took the lead to join the Death Brigade and charged with all their strength.

Under the frenzied attack of the Japanese army, the machine gun barrels of Lin Yuan's troops were replaced one after another, and the ammunition was used up box after box. Some migrant workers who carried ammunition even vomited blood from exhaustion and fell to the ground; On the material transfer island, hundreds of watts of searchlights illuminated the entire island brightly, and transport workers with bloodshot eyes sent ammunition to transport boats, fishing boats, and even small sampans...

The blood in front of Lin Yuan's army was more than a foot deep, and the corpses were piled up to half a person's height. The Japanese soldiers who rushed up from behind could hide in the corpses and shoot at Lin Yuan's troops. The 12 mm machine gun Bullets can't even pierce the pile of corpses!

This battle, later known as the "Fukuoka Meat Grinder", was one of the bloodiest battles in the entire Sino-Japanese War.
