Chapter 924 Battle of Madang ([-])

The tactics of the Xuebing Army were no different from the day on the 300th. They still relied on the superior firepower of the machine gun company to suppress, and then there was a collective charge of automatic rifles.When Zhongdao Qingcun first came up with the quilt strategy, he did experiments. At a distance of about [-] meters, as long as two soaked quilts can effectively block the penetration of machine gun bullets.Two or three Japanese soldiers were carrying two or even three quilts together, and those machine gun bullets hit them, and it really couldn't penetrate them.The devils in this brigade are elites selected by Nakajima himself from each brigade. When they first received this order, because they were not sure that the simple armor could protect against machine gun bullets, most of them were loyal to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor. But now, after personally realizing the protective function of the quilt, the hearts of these ghost soldiers finally fell back to their original place, and their morale became high.

"General Nakajima really deserves the title of 'Long Island Fox'. I didn't expect this small quilt to be able to prevent machine gun bullets."

"With these quilts, the beachhead has been firmly established. As long as the large army successfully crosses the lake, it will be the death of the Hukou Xuebing Army! Nagai, let's work hard together!"

...The devils in groups of three or four were lying under the wet quilt, not only did not feel the slightest discomfort, but each of them was burning with fighting spirit, and they all felt that today would be the day when they defeated the student army and washed away their shame.

Meng Kailan and Wu Gang's countermeasures were not communicated to the whole army, so the soldiers below were somewhat flustered when they discovered that even machine gun bullets could not penetrate the quilt on the little devil's head.The company platoon leaders saw it, and hurriedly reported to their superiors one by one, and the battalion commanders reported to Wu Gang and Yu Liang: Tuan Zuo, this won't work, our bullets can't penetrate those quilts at all, what should we do now?Some people even suggested that, since the bullets were useless, they might as well take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army had not yet assembled on a large scale, and organize death squads to go up and kill these devils with big knives.

Meng Kailan's plot was huge, although the number of flamethrowers was very small, but because of the large area of ​​action of this type of weapon, thirty of them could already change the situation.When the Japanese discovered that the quilt could not play a protective role, and even became a catalyst for their own destruction, at that time, the Japanese army had already boarded the Shizhongshan River Beach.

The battalion commanders got an answer: "The brigade headquarters is trying to figure out a way to tell the soldiers that bullets can't penetrate quilts, and we still have artillery. So everyone just stick to their battle positions, and the little devil's schemes will never succeed. "

The battle in Hukou temporarily entered a stalemate.The little devils put on the quilts and established a beachhead on the river beach of Shizhong Mountain.At the same time, those fishing boats began to pick up and drop off the second batch of Japanese troops.In order to complete the drama, Wu Gang launched this charge when the second batch of Japanese troops landed, and then, because he couldn't smash the wet quilts, he had to withdraw regretfully.

Zhongdao Qingcun watched everything that happened in the Shizhongshan position through binoculars from the beginning to the end. It was not until he saw this scene that he made up his mind and began to invest in troops on a large scale.

In Changling, due to the mutiny of a small number of Taiwanese imperial troops, Kobayashi Awakening, the head of the Hada detachment, could no longer trust the Taiwanese officers and soldiers under him. It happened again on the battlefield.

Kobayashi's awakening is more prudent, so it seems that his way of dealing with it is correct.In fact, ever since the army of soldiers sent troops to Taiwan to form the Taiwan Corps and formed a prairie fire, the Japanese base camp did not trust Taiwanese soldiers.

Okamura Ningji wanted to take down Madang in one fell swoop, thus cutting off the retreat of Anqing's Xuebing Army, and forcing the Xuebing Army to go north to the army to fight against it.However, Madang is too difficult to chew. In addition, the 17th Division was wiped out prematurely, and the Second Aviation Corps was attacked by surprise, which made the troops that the old devils could mobilize drop sharply. It's important.After receiving Kobayashi's telegram, the old devil was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He scolded Kobayashi repeatedly on the spot, thinking that if there was an accident in the Madang Raiders, it would be Kobayashi's fault.

Neiji Okamura was not angry.Originally, he didn't expect to attack Madang so soon, but Ouyang Yun was too bold to attack An Qing.Now that he thought about it, he thought that Ouyang Yun's move might have been a brilliant move.He didn't know until the Xuebing army entered Anqing that they actually had so many chariot troops.The chariot unit is one of Ouyang Yun's trump cards, and if the Second Aviation Corps continues to exist, the role these chariots can play is limited.From this point alone, Neiji Okamura admires this young opponent very much.Originally, he was a little bit taken aback by Ouyang Yun's sudden move, and always felt that there was some conspiracy behind it, but now, he felt much more at ease.The Xuebing army attacked Anqing on a large scale. Although it successfully destroyed the fighter planes of the Second Aviation Corps, it also gave him a chance to get Madang as soon as possible.At this time, if he is still doubtful and undecided, he will despise himself, let alone what other people think.

"Tell Kobayashi, I'll give him three days! If he still can't figure it out in three days, he can report directly to Nanjing!" Neji Okamura dictated the call back to Kobayashi to the communications staff.

"Your Excellency, do you want to launch an offensive as scheduled?" Another staff officer asked.

"Of course!"

At around 11 noon, in Shengzhou Village, Madang, Wang Wanchun, a scout from the 301st Regiment, was lying quietly in a clump of weeds. Suddenly, his eyes widened: "There is a problem!" the place shouted.Lying over there is Bian Jingdao, the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon. Bian Jingdao has also discovered the abnormality. He put down the binoculars and said, "Xiao Wang, you continue to monitor, and I will report to the higher authorities!" After finishing speaking, he took off the walkie-talkie from behind. Then Mai, immediately asked the regiment headquarters: "Dafu, Dafu, I am Xiaofu, please call back!"

Soon, there was an echo from Huami: "Xiaofu, Xiaofu, I am Dafu, it's over!"

"An enemy situation was found on the other side of position 0, and the scale is about a squadron, over!"

"Received, continue to monitor, over."

Wangjiang, Zhouwan, Captain Yamauchi Zhang of the 2th Engineer Regiment of the 11th Division of the 11nd Army of the Chinese Expedition Army appeared in the river embankment protection forest with the vanguard.Akira Yamauchi found a place with a better view, picked up the binoculars and looked towards the opposite bank. He patrolled several times, but found no enemy situation, so he couldn't help but look worried.

The chief of staff, Captain Nozoshi Hashimoto, also put down his binoculars, and his expression was not very good, and he said, "Your Excellency, it seems that the Chinese people are very well prepared!"

There was no sign of an enemy on the other side, but the two chief officers seemed very nervous instead, and their subordinates couldn't help being very puzzled.A brigade captain asked: "There is not a single enemy on the other side, how can it be called tight?"

Hashimoto Wangjun glanced back at him, and said, "Idiot, just because no trace of the enemy has been found, such an enemy is the most terrifying. Do you think Ouyang Yun will give up the position on the other side and let us land easily?"

The captain named Samura Kenji immediately shut his mouth.

Akira Yamauchi did not enter their conversation. He glanced back and saw that the troops were ready, and the pontoon troops had already torn off the tarpaulin on the pontoon bridge. Order the troops to get to work!"

"Hay!" Several captains replied respectfully at the same time, and then they went down with their adjutants and staff officers.

In Neiji Okamura's plan, there is no such thing as feigned attack or probing. When it comes up, it will be heavy troops to suppress the border. It is best to establish a position on Jiangxinzhou by trying to catch the Xuebing army by surprise.Because only in this way, he is qualified to use the advantage of local forces to compete with the Xuebing army for the fortress Jiangbei fortification.

The 2nd Army had two offensive locations, except the area opposite Zhouwan and Shengzhou, and the area opposite Xiaogushan and Penglangji.Xiaogushan is the only military fortress of the Xuebing Army on the north bank, and because the river where Xiaogushan is located is much wider than that of Zhouwan, it is much more difficult to attack.In fact, Okamura Ningji can completely give up this offensive point, but out of the same consideration, the existence of Xiaogushan makes it possible for the student army to attack from behind, so in order to prevent this from happening, he must send out The corresponding forces attack here.Of course, according to his understanding, since Xiaogushan can't be lost either, it can also force the defenders of the fortress to disperse their forces.In this way, it is still very cost-effective to attack at the same time.

Just when Bian Jingdao discovered the enemy's situation in Shengzhou, the scouts of the Xiaogushan garrison and the 9th Regiment of the 307th Brigade also noticed the new movement of the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain.

The 307th regiment guarded Xiaogushan alone, and it was the most dangerous unit of the third Xueshi division.During this period of time, the Japanese army often launched harassing offensives. Therefore, Lian Changjiang, the head of the 307th regiment, did not pay enough attention to the new situation reported by the scouts at first.

At this moment, Geng Shu, chief of staff, suddenly rushed in with a telegram. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Old Company, the headquarters has called, let us be more vigilant, the Japanese army may launch a general offensive today."

Ouyang Yun is currently in charge of the Madang Fortress Command, and unless there is a major enemy situation, under normal circumstances, they receive orders from the brigade headquarters.Lian Changjiang thought of the situation reported by the scouts just now, and immediately realized that the little devil's attack today might be real. He immediately put the helmet on his head, grabbed the message, and said, "It seems that the situation reported by Xiao Zhang and the others is Really, let's go, let's go to position one."

The two of them had just walked out of the command post with a few guards, when suddenly there was a violent cannon fire in the air, and immediately, the scream of the cannonball filled the eardrums. , and then quickened his pace.
