Age of Conquest Reborn
Chapter 554: The Doomsday of Isotani Rianjie (3)
Chapter 554: The End of Isotani Rensuke (3)
The tiger released by Li Zongren was indeed powerful and fierce. It gave the Japanese army a powerful shock. Guangxi is mountainous, the local people are very good at practicing martial arts, the folk customs are sturdy, and the soldiers of the Guangxi Army are all veterans of the war.
, cunning and fierce, and
Instead of blindly attacking and charging, they used the squad as a unit to form attack arrows. Their short and lean bodies rolled and moved among the ruins and craters caused by artillery shells, and in the blink of an eye they were close to the three footholds of the Japanese army.
(Baidu search,)
The combat effectiveness of the Gui Army is unparalleled among local military branches in the country. It is known as the ace among all the others. The Japanese soldiers were a little overwhelmed. At first glance, there were Chinese soldiers everywhere. They could concentrate their firepower to fight them.
Depending on the direction, there is no more than one squad of troops.
The Gui Army soldiers approaching the Japanese army received a burst of grenades, the smoke of the explosion, and a burst of fierce shooting, which made the Japanese soldiers retreat repeatedly. This also aroused the blood of the Sichuan Army soldiers. They are all soldiers, and we Sichuan people are no better.
Wherever you Guangxi people are sent, under the leadership of the commander, the 88th Division of the Sichuan Army launched a full-scale counterattack.
Isotani Rensuke, who had been driving the Japanese troops far away from the city wall before returning to the position, always observing the battlefield situation, put down his telescope, with a proud smile on his face, and said into the walkie-talkie: "Hyono-kun, it's okay
Let's begin." This was Isotani Rensuke's tactic. This wily guy knew about the mobilization of more than 40,000 troops, and it was impossible to completely hide it from the eyes of the China commander.
With only a little bit of military common sense, he knew to increase troops in the direction of Tongshan. The reason why he stormed the west gate of Xuzhou was to cause confusion in the thinking of the China garrison commander. He believed that the direction of Tongshan was the suspect force he had deployed and the real main direction of attack.
Still at the west gate, bring back the reinforcements sent there.
Li Zongren's guard regiment joined the Ximen battlefield, which just made Isotani Rensuke think that his goal was achieved. Even if the China commander did not send more troops to Tongshan, he still had to make this fierce attack gesture. First, to attract the Chinese defenders
secondly, to create all favorable conditions for Hyōno Kutaro's attack.
Hyōno Kutaro's division is his surprise force and his final killing move. If the effect is not achieved, the protracted siege under Xuzhou City will inevitably become a flesh-and-blood mill for the Imperial Japanese Army. He doesn't know how long it will drag on. He will not
He thought that Tang Qiuli would allow himself to attack Xuzhou comfortably and mobilize troops to encircle him, but the First Army would end badly.
His consideration was not incomplete, but he did not expect that there would be more than 200,000 Chinese troops standing by his side, staring at him eagerly, waiting for the Japanese army to become exhausted in Xuzhou and lose all their energy.
, the pressure came on, and the person in charge of commanding the squadron was not Tang Qiuli, whom he was deeply afraid of, but Li Zongren, a general who would soon become famous in the country.
In the direction of Tongshan, Tang Qiusheng listened to the continuous sound of artillery fire in the west of Xuzhou and the indistinguishable number of shooting sounds. He had already ordered his troops to prepare for battle. However, the Japanese army was always lurking and there was no movement at all. There were more than 40,000 troops spread out.
On the high and low hills in southern Xuzhou, even the artillery was carefully camouflaged. If it weren't for the location map of the Japanese army, there would be almost no sign of tens of thousands of people lurking here.
He secretly admired the quality of the Japanese generals and the discipline of the Japanese soldiers. There were fireworks over there, but they could keep their composure here. It was really not easy. You wait and I will wait too, until you put all your energy on the attack.
At that time, if there is another sudden attack and a knife is inserted in the back, no matter how powerful your troops are, you will not be able to escape.
After receiving the order, the muscles on Hyōno Kyutarou's face twitched. He did not forget to pray to Amaterasu. For some reason, he always felt frightened and uneasy. Perhaps it was due to his years of professional military career.
I feel like I'm being targeted by something?
In the direction of the silent Tongshan Mountain, a sudden volcanic eruption occurred. Nearly a hundred artillery pieces of different calibers from the Japanese artillery were like devils emerging from the ground, spitting out steel flames. Shells screamed over Tongshan Mountain one after another, accurately.
The bombs fell on the ancient city wall of Xuzhou. City bricks flew into the air, and the explosions were one after another. It was impossible to tell the number of explosions, as if the earth was suddenly lifted up by a huge hand.
The south gate of Xuzhou, which was as quiet as a baby sleeping just now, was instantly shrouded in steel wind and iron rain. Smoke and dust rose into the sky. Huge explosions reverberated in the open wilderness, and nearly a hundred artillery bombarded the city.
On a front that was only three kilometers wide, the density of firepower reached a terrifying level, enough to blow the Xuzhou city wall into a deep trench and blow the defenders there into powder.
Hyōno Kutaro's tactics achieved unprecedented success. The thick Xuzhou city wall was blown down by its roots, revealing a huge gap. The road to Xuzhou suddenly opened in front of Hyōno. Hyōno calmly observed the effects of the bombardment.
, then a second order was issued, tanks and infantry began to attack, and artillery fire extended.
The eight roaring Japanese tanks rolled up the dirt and rushed towards the breach. Behind them were a regiment of infantry. Behind them were eight tanks of the second echelon and a regiment of Japanese soldiers. There was no other way, due to the limited terrain conditions.
, can only deploy so many troops. If possible, Hyōno Kutaro hopes to put all the tanks and soldiers into the attack, so that the chance of victory will be greater.
The Japanese tanks were already close to the collapsed city wall. There was no sound of gunfire from the defenders. Kutaro Hyōno suddenly became excited. He had never felt that victory was so close. He picked up the phone and prepared to report this good news to Commander Isotani Rensuke.
news, and also hoped to restart the attack on the troops attacking the west gate of Xuzhou.
A dense scream suddenly came from behind. Hyōno Kutaro's face turned pale. It was the sound of countless artillery shells piercing the air and flying from far to near. However, all his artillerymen were shelling.
How could artillery shells fly from behind the Chinese garrison's position?
Several large-caliber artillery shells accurately landed in Hyōno Kutaro's command post. The concealment dug out overnight and the thin protective layer could not withstand the power of the large-caliber artillery shell explosion. There were flashes of fire, shrapnel flying, and smoke.
Dispersed, several huge craters appeared in place.
The division commander Hyōno Kutaro and all the Japanese officers in his command post were reduced to their molecular state. Not even a single residue could be found. The only luck was a wooden stake hanging a telephone, a severed arm, and
Holding the phone tightly, it swung back and forth in the wind, and anxious shouts came from inside.
The Japanese artillerymen who were firing vigorously were knocked upside down by the sudden shells. They had no power to fight back. They didn't even have time to turn the muzzle. The position was covered by dense artillery fire. The wheels of the blown artillery flew into the air and exploded.
The gun barrels lay helplessly on the ground. The exploding shells made the disaster worse. The corpses of Japanese artillerymen were thrown into the sky from time to time.
Tang Qiusheng was ruthless enough. He concentrated five artillery regiments and equipped them with far more artillery than the Japanese army. One salvo completely destroyed the Japanese artillery position. Then, the artillery fire chased the Japanese army rushing towards the breach, roaring again.
The incoming shells exploded into a wall of fire in front of the breach.
Eight Japanese tanks were shrouded in artillery fire and did not escape the fate of exploding and catching fire. The Japanese infantry following them suffered a devastating blow and were staggered by the bombs. This was not over yet. From the entrance of the collapsed city wall, a sudden attack
A large group of troops came out, and the light and heavy machine guns roared like the wind, killing the Japanese soldiers without any scruples. The Japanese soldiers, who were hit by a double blow, could no longer parry and fled in the same direction as they were going crazy.
After dealing with the charging Japanese army, the artillery of the ** Division began to bombard the Japanese army's position according to the division of labor in advance. Like boiling molten iron poured on dry wood, the Japanese army's position stirred up thick smoke and was completely shrouded in artillery fire. Forty thousand soldiers
Many Japanese troops were driven out of their crude fortifications by fierce shelling, lost their central command system, and were suddenly bombarded. The Japanese troops inevitably became panicked.
Tang Qiusheng's sudden attack was like a thunderbolt, hitting the vital points of the Japanese army, knocking out the command system, destroying the Japanese artillery positions, and disrupting more than 40,000 Japanese soldiers. The pre-war deployment was a complete success.
Li Zongren, who received Tang Qiusheng's battle report, was so happy that he slammed the table repeatedly. This battle was fought very happily and smoothly. He killed more than 40,000 Japanese troops and attacked Rensuke Isotani from the front. He was a toothless tiger and could not be hurt.
man, not to mention the big meal prepared for him.
The effect of the artillery bombardment was unprecedentedly effective. The mountains and plains were full of Japanese soldiers who were hit by artillery fire and were running around. Under the command of commanders at all levels, they formed isolated temporary defense circles and fell into a situation where they were fighting on their own. At this time, the Japanese soldiers
Soldiers’ combat literacy and combat will,
This fully demonstrated that even though they knew there was no hope of survival, they calmed down and dug fortifications on the spot. They took out white silk ribbons with the words "Must Win" written on them and tied them around their foreheads. This meant that all Japanese soldiers were ready to fight for the victory.
His Majesty the Emperor's readiness to sacrifice himself can be shattered at any time.
The five brigades of the ** Division and one division of the Guangxi Army had nearly 80,000 troops, more than twice the strength of the Japanese army. They attacked from the north and the south and tightly surrounded the Japanese army in the Tongshan area. There were shouts of killing everywhere. The surrounded Japanese army was conscious.
Seeing the fate he was about to face, the ferocity in his bones was aroused. Although the organization was disrupted, as long as a commander shouted, Japanese soldiers from different units gathered around him and immediately formed a combat team.
The trapped beast still fights, which should be the mentality of the Japanese troops who were surrounded at this time. Under the command of different commanders, they fought desperately with the Chinese soldiers who surrounded them, often to the last person. Facing more than a dozen Chinese soldiers,
He did not put down his weapons and carried out a suicide attack. Although he was stabbed to death by several bayonets, he still stabbed the bayonet into the body of the nearest Chinese soldier with blood all over his body.
Such battles abound on the Tongshan front line. Japanese soldiers faced desperate situations and fierce resistance, forcing the troops to attack circular positions one after another, causing considerable casualties to the encircling troops. The battle temporarily fell into a stalemate.
