Chapter 81
Shi Xianggong Temple, 58th Division Division Headquarters.
Feng Shengfa went outside to smoke. As soon as he left, Zhang Jingming, He Lingxiao and Wu Jiguang had no scruples anymore, and his words became even more unpleasant.
"It's simply arrogant to dare to fight Luodian with a newly added brigade!"
"Arrogant? He just doesn't know how to live or die. Do you really think that he can fight the 19th Brigade?"
"Can you fight? Let's see how he ends this time. Humph, he praised Haikou in front of the teacher's seat."
"Teacher? I don't know what the military throne thinks. He was promoted, so why did he get an outsider..."
"Okay, okay, you two should pay attention to me, don't talk about the commander behind the scenes. The division is a famous general from the 88th Division. What unit is the 88th Division? It is the serious Second Central Guard Division. If this were in ancient times, the 88th Division would be the Imperial Guard Army in front of the emperor, how could we compare?"
Zhang Jingming told others not to talk about the superior behind his back, but he was full of strange words.
Feng Shengfa actually didn't go too far. He could hear clearly when standing outside the command center. He also knew that Zhang Jingming and the other three were actually told to him on purpose. He had never escaped the faction within the National Army. There were many hills within the Central Army. Isn't there also many hills within each army and division?
Although Feng Shengfa has Yu Jishi's support, it is not easy for him to convince Zhang Jingming, He Lingxiao, Wu Jiguang and the four commanders. Everyone has two shoulders and heads. Why do they have to bow to you? Of course, this small problem is definitely not difficult for Feng Shengfa, otherwise Yu Jishi would not push him to the position of a master.
The only thing Feng Shengfa needs now is a victory, a refreshing victory.
Throwing the cigarette butt on the ground and stomping it out, Feng Shengfa took a deep breath of the fresh air after the rain, and then strode back to the war room. This time, Feng Shengfa didn't wait too long. After about ten minutes, a correspondent rushed into the war room with sweat and gasped, "Shi Shi, Luo Luo Luo Store, Na Na took it..."
There was a moment of stagnation in the war room, so He Lingxiao and Wu Jiguang opened his eyes wide.
Zhang Jingming subconsciously took out his pocket watch. The hour hand was just passing by four o'clock in the morning. The 19th Brigade actually took down Luodian? How is this possible? How is this possible?! A newly replenished brigade can barely be considered a reinforcement brigade, but it is facing two Japanese squadrons, as well as infantry artillery and tanks. How did this battle be fought?
Yesterday morning, a full regiment of the 344th Regiment was so difficult to fight a small Japanese infantry squadron. The little Japanese had no infantry artillery and tanks. As a result, this morning, the 19th Brigade defeated the two infantry squadrons with artillery squadrons that had been assisted by just a temporary supplementary reinforcement squadron and two mortar companies.
The 344th Regiment is the main force of the 58th Division. The combat effectiveness of the 19th Brigade is stronger than that of the main force?
Feng Shengfa's clenched fist quietly relaxed, and only he knew that his palms were covered with cold sweat.
Turning his head, Feng Shengfa's eyes swept across Zhang Jingming, He Lingxiao and Wu Jiguang's faces. Zhang Jingming looked embarrassed. He Lingxiao and Wu Jiguang simply avoided their sight. Feng Shengfa smiled and directly ordered the communication staff beside him: "Staff General Liu, I'll give me the order. The 343rd Regiment immediately seizes the Western Front Bridge, and the 347th Regiment changes to the Anti-Luo Shop."
"Yes!" Staff Liu stood at attention and turned around and walked into the telecommunications room.
This time, Zhang Jingming did not express any objection. He Lingxiao and Wu Jiguang also selectively ignored the fact that Feng Shengfa bypassed them and issued combat orders to the regiment commander below. Within the Central Army, it is very taboo to issue orders above the level, so Chairman Jiang did not take this matter seriously and often commanded the division or even brigades above the level.
Feng Shengfa picked up the phone on the table again: "Check it out for me."
A moment later, Feng Shengfa's hearty laughter sounded in the war room: "Staff, I am Feng Shengfa. Haha, Luodian has taken it back again. Yes, but our division has suffered a lot of casualties. The two security regiments you promised yesterday must be fulfilled. Yes, please rest assured. If the people are in the position, the Japanese army will not cross the defense line of our division."
#############
More than two hours later, it was dawn.
Surprisingly, today's Japanese naval guns and heavy artillery did not launch large-scale artillery bombardment on the positions of the 58th Division and 51st Division, but turned the muzzle to Baoshan County more than ten kilometers away, dumping tons of shells into the small land of Baoshan. The Japanese air force also bombed Baoshan County.
Obviously, after controlling the two landing sites from Liuhe to Lion Fortress, Zhang Huabin to Wusong Fortress, Baoshan County, which was located in the middle, became a thorn in the Japanese army's side and a thorn in flesh. In order to relieve the threat from the flanks as soon as possible, the two landing sites were connected into one, and the Japanese army launched a crazy attack on Baoshan County.
From this day on, the 3rd Battalion of the 583rd Regiment of the 98th Division stationed in Baoshan became the primary target of attack by the Japanese army.
While the Japanese army attacked Baoshan County, they did not give up attacking Liuhe, Liuxing, Yangxing and Luodian in various directions. Especially Luodian, they were even attacked like a storm by the 44th Japanese infantry Regiment. Obviously, after two consecutive defeats, the old Japanese devil, He Zhiying Er, was completely angry.
At noon, the Hezhi United team regained the West Front Bridge again, and the troops headed straight to Luodian.
When the armored car of Zhiying Er arrived at the front line, the 11th Regiment of the 11th Division was preparing for artillery fire in Luodian. However, the preparation of artillery fire at this scale was absolutely incomparable to yesterday, in terms of intensity and density. The officers and soldiers of the 347th Regiment guarding the position were even in the mood to chat and joke.
Kinish Hideyoshita stood behind Kazukiji, with a look of shame.
Kazukiji put down his telescope and smiled, "Kishita Sang, are you still angry about the defeat in the early morning?"
Early this morning, Kinshita Hideyoshi guarded Luodian with two infantry squadrons, an artillery squad and a chariot squad. As a result, the Kuomintang army recaptured Luodian, and more than 200 soldiers were damaged. It can be said that he lost very embarrassingly. Kinshita Hideyoshi was born in a noble family and has always been arrogant. How can he accept it calmly?
Kinishi Hideyoshita said with a dark face and without saying a word. He Zhiyingji said again: "We have underestimated the Chinese army before. Even I didn't expect that the Chinese army's artillery was so powerful, and their infantry and artillery coordination, and the artillery could actually keep up with the infantry. I really don't know how they did it. It is not unfair to lose to such an opponent."
Regarding the war in the early morning, Kazuki Kazuki had learned the details from Kinoshita Hideyoshi and the defeated soldiers. The National Army artillery played a crucial role in it. Whether it is the bridgehead position in the west of Luodian Town, the steel plate machine gun nest on the periphery, or the four Type 95 light tanks of the chariot team, they were all killed by the Chinese artillery.
He Zhiying Er was just a little curious about why the Chinese army's infantry and artillery coordination was so sharp?
Judging from the fire exchange in the early morning of this morning, the Chinese army's infantry support artillery can even keep up with the commando. How is this possible?
Kinishi Hideyoshita was also confused and said in contemplation: "Judging from the sound of the shells, it should be a small-caliber curved artillery, but the ballistics of the shells are typical flat artillery. The information provided by Shanghai Special High-Tech Corporation has never mentioned such artillery. Could it be the latest new artillery developed by the Chinese government?"
He Zhiyinger asked, "Do you think the Chinese government can have such scientific research strength?"
Kinishi Hideyoshi also felt that the Chinese government could not have the ability to develop new artillery, and said now: "If it weren't for the Chinese people's own development, would it be the new artillery introduced from Germany?"
Kazuoji shook his head and said, "Germany does not have such new artillery."
"That's strange." Kinisho Hideyoshi said, "What the hell is going on?"
Kazuoji waved his hand and said calmly: "Kishita Sang, instead of guessing there, it is better to send a few reconnaissance teams to reconnaissance on the spot."
Kinishi Hideyoshi said: "Send a reconnaissance team?"
Kazuchieji nodded slightly and continued: "In the past three days, the Imperial Army has suffered consecutive losses at night. Although the Imperial Army is not good at night fighting, it is undeniable that the scouts sent by the Chinese army have played a crucial role. Doesn't Kinoshita Sang feel that the Chinese army is well aware of the deployment and firepower configuration of the Imperial Army?"
Kinishi Hideyoshi suddenly said: "After the captain of the regiment said this, I really remembered that the attacks of the Chinese army were very targeted in the early morning of this morning. Even several hidden side fire points were cleared by them at the designated locations. The artillery positions were quickly captured by the Chinese army, and the two infantry artillery pieces had almost no effect."
"This is the role of the scout." He Zhiying Er nodded, "Long before the attack, the scouts of the Chinese army had already infiltrated and found out the deployment and firepower configuration of the Imperial Army."
Kinishi Hideyoshi said: "It seems that the commanders of the Chinese army are not all stupid people."
He Zhiying Er told: "The Chinese commander on the opposite side is indeed a powerful character, but it is not surprising to use scouts on the battlefield. The Imperial Army can also use scouts. I have suggested to the division commander to select elite soldiers and powerful generals from the special forces and cavalry corps to carry out anti-reconnaissance on the Chinese army."
"Anti-spot? Yoshiki." Kinisha Hideyoshi nodded with a grim smile.
While speaking, the artillery preparations of the 11th Mountain Cannon Regiment were over. The Japanese squad, which was on standby at the attack position, pulled out nearly 100 meters of scattered troops and launched an attack on the opposite national position. In today's attack, the 44th Chinese and Japanese infantry Regiment did not invest in tanks or armored vehicles to cover the infantry's attack. Before we figured out the details of the "new artillery" of the National Army, Zhiying Er dared not take risks with precious tanks anymore.
Sparse gunshots sounded from the positions of the national army opposite. On the positions that were blown up, you can vaguely see more than a dozen Chinese soldiers appearing. On the front that is nearly 100 meters wide, there are only a dozen Chinese soldiers, and along with Shigeji and Kinishi Hideyoshi, they raised their telescopes at the same time.
In less than two minutes, the Japanese scattered soldiers broke into the national army's position. Not only did the dozen Chinese soldiers not retreat, they rushed out of the trenches fiercely and launched a decisive charge at the Japanese army. After a brief hand-to-hand battle, the dozen Chinese soldiers were all killed, but the Japanese army also paid almost the same number of casualties, and even more.
At this point, a small team of Japanese troops had already fallen into pieces and could no longer bear the next wave of attacks.
