Chapter 204

After the Sichuan Army was dispatched to Yeniuling, Master Yu’s people breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to guard against Qi Po at all times. However, within a few days of the good days, an offensive order broke Jiang Fang’s calm.

Master Yu began a general mobilization, and the two commanders of Li Wang in the nearby defense area followed the arrangement of the military headquarters and assigned thousands of people to cooperate with Master Yu in the battle across the river.

Just as the Sichuan Army Corps launched a skirmish attack and was about to reach the Qin Dun River area, the coalition forces that had been preparing for a long time began to cross the river.

The attack plan has changed a lot compared to Yu Xiaoqing’s sand table deduction. The attack time was chosen at a foggy dawn, with the main force of the Yu division in front, and the combined forces of the two divisions of Li and Wang behind. The first defense launched a surprise attack.

From the east bank to the west bank, you must cross the river through a bamboo raft. The water surface is wide, the tidal flats are flat, and there is no shelter. Fighting in this environment is tantamount to using human lives to exchange space. In the middle, Meng annoyed and replaced more than half of the main force with a first defense.

Now that the offensive plan is changed, the fog can affect the vision of the Japanese soldiers in the first defense trench to the maximum extent, which is very beneficial to the attacker.

According to Li Mi, the commander of Division Li, the Japanese army is now relying on its geographical advantage, so we will do things in the sky. The combat plan proposed by the military is very good and practical.

Foggy days, dawn, and surging rivers.

Fog obscured the vision, dawn was the time when the Japanese army ate and changed defenses, and the sound of river flowing covered the advancement of expeditionary soldiers.

All of this greatly weakened the Japanese military’s superiority.

Then, the battle started at a distance of only 20 meters between the two sides. The bullet-proof board modified with the river crossing equipment was held in the front. In the rear, soldiers with strong arms threw a large number of grenades to suppress the enemy fire from the slope.

When they advanced to more than ten meters, the soldiers using submachine guns fired at close range. The commando mounted bayonets and rushed out between the bullet avoidance boards and entered the trenches to fight the enemy hand-to-hand, so that the small Japanese grenadiers were useless.



At the same time, the artillery of the division carried out saturated bombardment on the enemy’s second defense to reduce the pressure on the landing soldiers. On the other hand, the Li and Wang Second Division personnel attacked from two wings, trying their best to control the enemy’s gasoline barrel pipeline connecting the second defense.

In the sand table deduction, the first defense won by 2,000 casualties, relying on Tianshi and the formation of troops, only less than 700 casualties were taken.

After losing the tidal flat line of defense, the Japanese army could only rely on artillery and second-defense direct firepower to threaten the subsequent river crossing units, and then US military planes threw smoke bombs on the tidal flat, naturally unable to cause considerable casualties.

Unlike Yu Xiaoqing’s combat plan, the combat plan from the military department pays attention to winning the three defenses in one go. Zhong Bin’s requirement is to work step by step, advance step by step, and erode the Japanese defense line bit by bit.

After the soldiers of the Yu Division crossed the river, they began to widen the trenches to consolidate the line of defense. They built sandbags, logs, iron sheets, and sand to the side facing the second defense.

Although the Japanese army is condescending, the gasoline barrel tunnel is blocked. The first defense at the foot of the mountain is not like the second defense and the third defense. The Japanese army cannot hollow out the interior, so it is difficult to launch surprise attacks through hidden tunnels. Soldiers will lure them to go deep into their positions, and then break out from the trenches and the woodlands on both sides to start hand-to-hand combat.

In this complex terrain, the enemy’s grenadier and infantry artillery were mostly scrapped.

The seven-nine rifle and bayonet do not lose the 38th cover, and the small and easy-to-handle M3 submachine gun can be used well in hand-to-hand combat. Landing troops.

After the Japanese rushed a dozen times and dropped hundreds of corpses, Takeuchi Renshan understood that the Chinese army had to use first defense as the battlefield, instead of fighting the war of attrition.

Use gasoline barrel tunnels to maneuver intensive firepower to the foot of the mountain defense line to massively kill the enemy’s landing troops, which is a magic trick of the first defense arrangement.

The second line of defense against the mountainside: there are a large number of hidden castles, secret tunnels, mines, remote-controlled explosive barrels bound with nail glass and other strange tricks.



Three defenses on the top of the mountain: the tree fort is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the two defense lines of the half-hill stone reverse slope cooperate with permanent fortifications, and the bombable tunnel used to lure the enemy into depth.

But now, the offensive troops were able to stop at the first defense, and Takeuchi Renshan’s powerful punch seemed to hit the air, which was extremely uncomfortable.

The head-on shifted from confrontation to confrontation.

On the other hand, what Takeuchi did not expect was that a small Chinese army began to appear on the flank of the Nantianmen battlefield. They were not looking for a road that crossed the second defense and directly threatened the third defense. And tried to seduce the Japanese squad from the defense line.

Takeuchi was a little at a loss and did not understand the intentions of the Chinese army, because it would obviously not be able to disintegrate the disciplined Japanese army and provide a breakthrough point for them to tear apart the second defense.

After this situation lasted for a few days, he suddenly realized that the reason why China did so was that in addition to deliberately disrupting the military arrangements of the wing, the further goal was to accumulate advantages.

The so-called accumulated advantage is not only the ability to kill the enemy and squeeze the target’s maneuvering space, but also the application of the geographical environment.

The reason why Nantianmen is easy to defend and difficult to attack is because they have been operating here for several years, while the other side has long been relying on US reconnaissance planes to perform surveying and mapping operations, and the information obtained is not detailed enough. This kind of information asymmetry is easy to attack. Fang’s fate.

Now the enemy is not in a hurry, and is constantly gathering intelligence while fighting steadily. If this continues, the wing’s information asymmetry advantage will be lost over time.

If it happened a year ago, in cooperation with the Japanese troops stationed in northern Myanmar, Master Yu would be sending food to the door, but now the large forces have been deployed to the Imphal Plateau to attack India, and the order given to him is to defend the South Gate. , Don’t let the expeditionary troops from Yunnan border pass, and disrupt the battle plan code-named “Wu”.

In order to prevent the expeditionary force from grasping the terrain of Nantianmen and the surrounding area, Takeuchi asked a squadron stationed in Heshun to split a squadron into the deep mountains on both wings of the Nantianmen to attack the expeditionary scouts.

the other side.

Zenda Henglan Mountain, coalition command post.

Yu Xiaoqing walked back and forth in front of the map, her hands behind her back tightly pinching the whip, her face full of impatience.

He has been like this for half a month.

Neither standing nor sitting, it can only be used to walk back to vent the anxiety.

Zhang Lixian stood near the door, staring blankly at his belief.

Standing in front of the observation window was a major general with half-white hair named Li Mi. The seat next to him was Tang Ji. The man on the right of Tang Ji was Wang Yexi. On the stool opposite Wang Yexi there was a tall and thin man who was the military department. Coming staff.

Yu Xiaoqing walked and stopped.

“Li Bing!”

Zhang Lixian took a step forward: “Master, Li Bing…”
