The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 276 The Battle of Yang Temple 3

War has its own special laws.It is good to advance by leaps and bounds on the battlefield, but to prevent the lone army from penetrating deep, it is even more necessary to understand the truth that too much is too late.

Zhang Tongqing's formation is mainly on the offensive, but there is defense in the attack, and he fights steadily and advances step by step.No matter what means the Japanese army used, the National Defense Forces had corresponding countermeasures.

In the southwest corner of Yangmiao, the 063 1 mountain artillery battalions of the 18st Regiment Mountain Artillery Battalion of the 75 Division bombarded the designated area in a regular manner according to the deployment, slowly and effectively opening the way for the infantry.The 18 mountain cannons of each battalion also joined the chorus in the early morning of the 25th.

And the 1 guns and 72 forces of the entire 60st regiment also reached the forefront of the position, and followed the rhythm of the mountain artillery, steadily pouring shells into the Japanese position.

But at this time, it was the infantry who took the squad as the unit and used the squad machine gun as the assault firepower, closely following the barrage formed by the mountain artillery and mortars, slowly advancing, gradually eating away at the Japanese fortifications and positions.

As soon as the artillery of the National Defense Army fired, Susumu Fujita, the commander of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, heard the sound of the artillery. He just wanted to order the field artillery regiment on the isolated mountain to fight back, but he immediately gave up this idea, because Susumu Fujita heard it. It's just that the mountain artillery and small mortars of the Chinese Army did not dispatch their main artillery.

Of course, Fujita Jin wanted to use wild artillery to destroy the National Defense Army's mountain artillery, but he also understood that the National Defense Army suffered losses yesterday, and today it will not be easy to deal with. The National Defense Army has no moving howitzers, and is obviously waiting for the field artillery regiment Expose your position.

However, Fujita Shin understands a little better. If the Field Artillery Wing is not used, then only the 10 mountain artillery pieces and 12 infantry artillery pieces directly under the Artillery Brigade of the 16th Wing, even including the reinforced artillery squads of the various brigades, are not the opponents of the National Defense Forces. .

This choice is really difficult!

An hour ago, the National Defense Forces advanced very quickly. First, they caught the Japanese army by surprise. Second, they were located on the outskirts of Yangmiao, and the Japanese army had relatively few fortifications and strongholds.However, after the 063st Regiment of the 1 Division advanced a distance of about 300 meters, the resistance of the Japanese army suddenly strengthened!

The grenadiers of the Japanese army slammed up, and the main scorer squad of the Wehrmacht infantry was maimed one by one with machine guns.And when the 60 mortars of the National Defense Forces chased them up, the Japanese army retreated into the permanent fortifications.

At this time, the shelling effect of the 75 mountain artillery was not great, and the 60 percussion had really become a cover weapon for the infantry. Instead, it was threatened by the Japanese infantry artillery because the National Defense Army had newly captured some fortifications and was not familiar with it.

This is Fujita Susumu's only tactic, and he has to fight if it is not easy to fight, so he moved the infantry artillery and grenadiers forward in large numbers to block the assault of the Wehrmacht infantry.

"Order the armored brigade of the army to dispatch a tank company to support the infantry in combat!" Seeing the stalemate in the battle, Zhang Tongqing decided to increase the fire appropriately.

The group army is directly under the armored brigade, which is different from the division tank regiment. Later, it was equipped with the "t-12" assault tank, while the former was equipped with the "t-24" medium tank. The weight of 24 tons is naturally different from that of 12 tons. In the same way, the "t-24" is now equipped with a 37mm tank gun instead of a 57mm gun.

The "t-24" can basically resist the shelling of the Japanese 75mm mountain artillery. As for the 70mm infantry artillery, the threat to the "t-24" is even smaller.

Four "t-4" tanks slowly drove towards the front position of the devils at a distance of more than 24 meters.The rumbling sound of the motor and the majestic body immediately attracted loud cheers from the National Defense Forces soldiers on the ground.

The headquarters has finally launched a big killer, now let's see how serious the devil can be!

"Boom—" At a distance of about 150 meters from a permanent fortification of the Japanese army, a "t-24" fired a shot, and with great luck, the shell was shot into the borehole of the fortification.

The infantry following the chariot immediately rushed into the trench several times, and competed with the remaining Japanese troops for control of the trench.

Many historical sources have talked about the high quality of Japanese soldiers, which is true.Regardless of their fighting will, training level, and soldier cultural level, they are all quite high.However, that is compared with the soldiers of the national army or the Eight Route Army of the same period.In front of the soldiers of the National Defense Forces, even if the Japanese soldiers still have these advantages, they are not very obvious.On the contrary, the advantages of the soldiers of the National Defense Forces are not possessed by the Japanese army. This is that the tactical accomplishment is much higher than that of Japan, even higher than this era, and the second is that the soldiers' equipment is not comparable to that of the Japanese army.

Because the "t-24" tank destroyed the main fortifications of the Japanese army, about one platoon of soldiers from the National Defense Army and about one squadron of Japanese soldiers met in the trench.

The National Defense Army Marine Platoon has 51 people, 1 platoon leader, 2 deputy platoon leaders, 4 squads of 48 people, equipped with 4 squad machine guns, 15 submachine guns, and 24 semi-automatic rifles.

The Japanese infantry squad has a machine gun group (two in history and now three light machine guns), a grenadier group (three grenadiers) and two rifle groups.Each light machine gun is composed of four people (commander, shooter, two deputy shooters with ammunition), and each grenadier is composed of two people.The team size is 70 people.

If the two sides attack in an open area, the Japanese army will have an advantage because of the grenades; but in a narrow trench, the Japanese army's advantage will immediately turn into a disadvantage.

The most obvious combat groups of the Japanese army are light machine gun groups and grenadier groups, and the Wehrmacht also has machine gun groups and combat groups.

However, the Wehrmacht's machine gun team had only three people, and the Japanese army had one more person than the Wehrmacht. In addition, each submachine gun of the Wehrmacht was equipped with two semi-automatic rifles to automatically form a combat team. The power is very close to that of a light machine gun, of course, this is under the premise of close combat.

The first group of the Wehrmacht to jump into the trench was a submachine gun combat group. As soon as they jumped off, they encountered four enemies. One of the enemies shot with a gun and wounded a Wehrmacht soldier. The enemy knocked out three, one of whom was killed by a semi-automatic rifle.

The sound of gunfire alarmed the Japanese army more than [-] meters away. Some Japanese soldiers immediately charged up with [-]-type rifles. A semi-automatic rifle against the dozen or so devils rushing up.

But at this moment, the second group of submachine gun teams also jumped into the trench, took over the vigilance of the first group, and at the same time knocked down the few devils who rushed to the front with a "da da da".

In less than half a minute before and after this, one of the Devil's machine guns had been set up and was about to shoot, when suddenly another group of submachine gunners jumped into the trench again, and the Devil's machine gunners were gone in one shuttle.

Just when the devil's machine gun was gone, the few Japanese soldiers who were still alive finally seized the opportunity to fire a shot. Due to the confusion and the large number of people, four soldiers of the National Defense Forces were injured.

However, the Japanese army only fired one shot, and the soldiers of the National Defense Forces with a wide view finally clicked their semi-automatic rifles, and then gradually expanded the occupation area, allowing more soldiers to jump into the trenches.

Seeing that there was nothing they could do, the Japanese stopped charging, but used their familiarity with the trenches to set up temporary positions to block the Wehrmacht.Although some casualties were caused to the National Defense Forces, the National Defense Forces only spent a total of 20 minutes. Three soldiers sacrificed 3 wounded and wiped out the Devils team.

The National Defense Forces dispatched the "t-24" medium-sized tank, which broke the stalemate on the front line at once, and also shattered Fujita Susumu's luck, forcing Fujita into a dead end.

Send out the Chariot Alliance?Obviously, there are more chariot units of the Chinese army, and seeing the size of the Chinese chariots, it is not something the Japanese chariots can deal with.

Fujita Jin didn't know that Zhang Tongqing was not planning to use his own tank to fight against the Japanese tanks. To deal with the devil's thin-skinned tanks, the 20mm anti-aircraft gun was the most appropriate weapon.

Some people may ask, why not use chariots to pk chariots?Zhang Tongqing's answer was: There are still a group of cannons waiting on the lonely mountain. The artillery above 100mm can just restrain the "t-24" tank of the armored brigade.

Here, the most brilliant thing about Zhang Tongqing is that he only used 4 "t-24s", which made Fujita feel uncomfortable and at a loss.

Fujita advances to use the field artillery. The 4 tanks are not only small in number, but also very scattered. The effect of the shelling must be very small, but it also exposed the position of the field artillery wing.

Can Fujita use field artillery, and there is no way to control these 4 tanks. Could it be that they have been rampaging on their own positions?

"Baga, order the cavalry regiment to send a brigade to quickly reinforce the position at the southwest corner of Yangmiao, and annihilate the Chinese army's chariots!" Susumu Fujita, who had no other choice, finally remembered the other positions of the 3rd Division besides the chariot regiment. A mobile force.

During the Sino-Japanese War, even before the middle of World War II, the cavalry wing of the Japanese army was kept very full.Although in Chahar, the 9th Cavalry Division of the National Defense Forces wiped out a cavalry regiment of the Japanese army with a company of troops, the Japanese did not realize that the cavalry was the doomsday arm of this era.

In the next few years, the cavalry of the Soviet Red Army and the German armored group will stage a cavalry-to-armor drama. Tens of thousands of Soviet cavalry will deal with thousands of German tanks. Withdrew from the stage of history.

If it weren't for a coincidence, Wu Aihua would never form a cavalry. Compared with cavalry, he would prefer to use three-wheeled motorcycles or off-road motorcycles instead of cavalry.On the vast grassland, Wu Aihua believes that the combat effectiveness of thousands of armed motorcycles is definitely stronger than that of cavalry of the same size.Compared with the fuel consumption of motorcycles and the feed of war horses, the latter may be more expensive.

A "t-24" made great achievements, which encouraged the other three tanks and greatly lowered the morale of the Japanese army. In the next half an hour, several permanent fortifications of the Japanese army on the front were breached, and the infantry remained the same as before. , jumped into the trenches and fought hand-to-hand with the devils.

By 600 o'clock in the morning, if counting from the initial defense line of the Japanese army, the National Defense Forces had broken through [-] meters forward, and the Japanese army lost nearly a thousand soldiers alone, which was almost the strength of a brigade.
