Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 820 Decisive Battle ([-])

After Jiang Guangnai ordered the troops to disperse the air defense and concealment, he sent out all the divisional reconnaissance battalions to scout the position of the Japanese army to see if it was possible to find the gap left by the Japanese army and break through.

The bombers equipped by the Japanese naval aviation were originally designed to deal with sea targets, so according to international practice, they were all equipped with dive bombers.The advantage of the dive bomber is that it can carry out relatively accurate bombing, and correspondingly, it increases the chance of being hit.

More than [-] fighter planes swooped down on the position of the [-]th Xueshi Division aggressively. Amidst the stern air defense whistle, the anti-aircraft artillery of the [-]th Xuedi Division opened fire first.

In terms of the advanced nature of equipment alone, the Fourth Academy of Learning Army is the worst among the five army of learning soldiers, which is caused by the quality of soldiers.Compared with these three divisions alone, the [-]th Xue Division was reorganized on the basis of the former Jiangsu Security Division [-]. Therefore, the quality of the soldiers in this division is the best, which also makes the advanced equipment of the division The assembly rate is the highest.

Because of the existence of the Military Headquarters of the Fourth Army, the Twelfth Learning Division has added a semi-mechanized brigade directly under the army (the reason why it is called a semi-mechanized brigade is that the brigade is not equipped with a regiment of self-propelled artillery like the other armies. troops, but only equipped with a self-propelled artillery battalion), a guard regiment, and an anti-aircraft regiment, an engineer battalion, a communications company, and a medium-sized field hospital.

The units directly under these corps can provide about one regiment of air defense force. In addition, the Xuetwelfth Division already has two regiment-sized air defense forces, and the air defense forces of the three regiments defend air at the same time. But it was enough to cause trouble for the Japanese fleet.

The Canglong aircraft carrier fleet with the "Cangryu" aircraft carrier as the flagship provides aviation support for the 9th Division.The self-teaching army's "sink it" action severely damaged the Japanese combined fleet. Originally playing a supporting role in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese Navy, which once only took support as its operational mission, dismantled several aircraft carriers that originally belonged to the combined fleet and formed separate units. A small fleet with an aircraft carrier as the flagship. The results of the "Sink It" operation are not only as simple as sinking the "Akagi" and the "Flying Dragon" aircraft carrier. Dare to regard the South China Sea as its own backyard and gallop freely.Compared with the Japanese Army, the Japanese Navy’s harm to China is extremely slight, and the reason why this happens is not that the Japanese Navy officers and soldiers have sympathy for China, or that the officers and soldiers are out of character. The Chinese navy is dismissive.Since the successful implementation of the "Sink It" operation, the pride of the Japanese Navy has been completely corrected, and for the Xuebing Army, this is also the aftermath of the "Sink It" operation-the specific planning of Yamamoto 56 Next, the Japanese Combined Fleet was split into several small fleets and began to implement a revenge plan.These hateful small fleets cruised along the coast of Fujian, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate and attack the ground buildings and armed forces of the Xuebing Army.The reason why Oku Ichiro was able to get support from the naval aviation so conveniently this time was due to the series of retaliation plans of the Japanese Navy.

For the bombers that took off from the Canglong, the pilot plane was piloted by a major named Atsuhime Kuramura.Atsuhime Kuramura was flying an attack aircraft. In order to ensure flexibility, she gave up carrying bombs, so she was the first to rush to the battlefield. However, this fighter plane numbered 145 appeared over the battlefield of the Xuetwelfth Division, ping-pong The sound of the explosion sounded, and the air defense troops of the [-]th Xue Division opened fire. Immediately, fine explosion clouds began to appear frequently in the field of vision of the Japanese air force.

Faced with such a large-scale air defense firepower network, Zangcun couldn't help but have a little doubt: Is this really just the air defense force of a division-level unit?
Zangcun had participated in the air raids on Shanghai and Nanjing, and knew the air defense force of the Chinese army. In his impression, the display of air defense force of this scale today had only appeared in Nanjing, and at that time, in Nanjing, China The army reached 35 divisions.

The Japanese planes do not have line-of-sight radio communication yet, so the cooperation between the planes mostly depends on the commander's gestures.Of course, due to reasons in the air, almost only one-third of the fighters can obtain reliable command signals through the pilot's observation, so before take-off, the specific plan and steps of the current combat operation have been laid out. All the pilot has to do is to follow the established plan.

This was Oku Ichiro's first mistake since the battle with Jiang Guangnai - the anti-aircraft firepower of the [-]th Xue Division far exceeded his expectations, which made the air strikes that he expected to achieve great results have little effect.Atsuhime Zangmura wanted to faithfully carry out the task and complete the entrustment of Lieutenant General Okuichiro, so that the Twelfth Xueshi would completely lose the will to resist.However, after losing three fighter planes in succession and the bombing did not achieve the expected effect, Shao Zuo Zangmura decisively gave up his command and let the pilots play freely. As a result, this air battle formed an embarrassing result—— The aviation soldiers came excitedly and aggressively, but returned anticlimactically and disappointedly. They failed to fulfill the minimum requirement of Oku Ichiro for them-to destroy the artillery of the [-]th Division.

Afterwards, when Ouyang Yun, Jiang Guangnai and others summarized the battle, they were surprised to find that if the Japanese air strikes could completely destroy the artillery unit of the [-]th Xue Division, then the outcome of this battle might be rewritten.

More than [-] bombers did cause great casualties to the [-]th Xue Division, but they failed to destroy the artillery unit of the [-]th Xue Division as scheduled.

Ever since, in the ensuing battle, the 9th Xue Division did not have the power to resist at one touch as Oku Ichiro expected. On the contrary-the 9th Xue Division used artillery to counterattack and destroyed the 5000th Division of the 19th Division. After a brigade of artillery from the Field Artillery Regiment, they used the extended bombardment of the artillery to open a channel and successfully implemented the "breakout" - Oku Ichiro's siege of the [-]th Division was a scam, and there was only one unit that actually participated in the siege Alliance only.However, how can a regiment of more than [-] devils be the opponent of the more than [-] officers and soldiers of the [-]th Division? Therefore, after the artillery was destroyed, the regiment could not resist the nearly [-] soldiers of the [-]th Division led by tank troops. After three hours of counterattack, the [-]th Wing, which had been knocked out of three brigades, had no choice but to retreat.

The successful breakthrough of the [-]th Xue Division indicates that the counterattack of the [-]th Xue Army has begun!

Summarizing the battle afterwards, Oku Ichiro actually made only one mistake.No, perhaps it is most accurate to use only one mistake made by the Japanese army, that is, the strength of the Japanese navy's Canglong fighter group was exaggerated.

First, the advance bomber fleet led by Major Atsuhime Kuramura failed to cause fatal damage to the [-]th Xueshi Division. Second, the subsequent bombers took off and bombed the wrong target. a division.

The backwardness of the Japanese army in communication technology has become the biggest factor in the failure of the "hunting cloud project".The Japanese army’s means of communication was single and could only be relayed by telegram. As a result, the second bomber group that took off from the "Canglong" aircraft carrier for the first time took the 36th Division, which was fighting fiercely with the 9th Wing, as the [-]th Division. Although the bombing caused great casualties to the [-]th Xue Division, it also saved the rocket artillery unit of the [-]th Xue Division from the greatest threat and thus played to the maximum. The strength advantage of Xueshi Division was completely lost, which led to the final bankruptcy of "Operation Hunting Cloud".

The Twelfth Xue Division has a total of ten regiments, of which nine regiments are all from Jiangsu.After the great careers of military scholars and military families, although no one deliberately differentiated and distinguished them, their native place has become a hierarchical identity mark.Among them, the old team of Xuebing Army——Xuebing from North China is the most superior, followed by those from Cantonese, and then the passionate youths from all over the country, and behind them is the Sichuan Army.As for the Jiangsu soldiers, because of their poor performance in the Battle of Nanjing, they have become well-known soft-hearted soldiers and useless soldiers, and are disdainful by other students-of course, this may only be the understanding of the officers and soldiers from Jiangsu.

Know the shame and then be brave. This sentence should be appropriate for the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Division.Regardless of whether others realized it or not, Ouyang Yun at least paid close attention to the growth of the [-]th teacher.Of course, the original intention of his concern was actually just that he was afraid that this big army would lose the chain at a critical moment, but the learning of the [-]th Division made him awe-inspiring in the subsequent growth process, and he quickly let go of his heart .

This depends on the teacher Liao Mingfeng.

Liao Mingfeng is from Taixing, Jiangsu, and he is known as a scholar in his hometown.Liao Mingfeng himself does not dislike this nickname, because he feels that this title corresponds to his knowledge, and behind this knowledge, it proves that his policy of managing troops is correct.Unlike most military officers in this period, Liao Mingfeng likes to convince people with reason when it comes to managing troops.Of course, when he was at the Jiangsu Security Command, due to various reasons, his plan was difficult to carry out, and it would only add to the jokes.Fortunately, he did not give up because of this.After joining the student army, he found that his plan worked.

The growth of the [-]th Division is still very fast. From the last place in most events when they participated in the performance for the first time to the regiment-level confrontation before this battle, two regiments squeezed into the top [-], and one regiment squeezed into the top Fifth, other people may be indifferent to this, but Liao Mingfeng cried and got drunk because of this.

In air warfare, the will and quality of officers and soldiers are very important to the final result. Based on the experience of Atsuhime Kuramura, there are very few troops in the Chinese Army that can guarantee a complete organization during large-scale bombing, so that they can truly attack Japan. Aircraft pose a threat.It is precisely because they are used to this kind of downwind bombing that when they faced the fierce anti-aircraft firepower of the Xuetwelfth Division, they lost three fighters at the beginning, which caused a low morale of the entire bomber fleet.

Liao Mingfeng personally went to the front line to command the air defense operations. The arrival of this elegant commander made the air defense soldiers who had dared to confront the Japanese aircraft face-to-face even more motivated.Many people have this idea in their hearts: Can't let the teacher's seat have an accident in his own artillery position!His grandma, the teacher is not afraid of death, but I am afraid of a ball!
The anti-aircraft artillery fire of the Twelfth School Division was unprecedentedly fierce, and the Japanese bomber fleet returned without success. This action has already disrupted Oku Ichiro's plan.

This also became the turning point of this battle.
