Reappearance of the ‘Songhu Defeat’

Time flies by, and after a week of strategic deployment, the 250,000 elite Kwantung Army troops just transferred from the Northeast have finally been replenished, both in terms of ammunition dealers and the number of heavy weapons, and have regained their strong combat effectiveness.

.At the same time, each combat unit also immediately entered its preset positions and was ready to launch an attack at any time...

Behind the Japanese front-line positions, at the Japanese military airports located in Wuhan, Nanjing, etc., various types of bombers and fighter jets are being quickly loaded with ammunition and fuel, with the efforts of the crew and ground staff, to provide

Making final preparations for the takeoff operation later...

In the headquarters of the Japanese Army in Nanjing, the Supreme Commander Prince Miyamoto, the Commander of the Central China Front, General Matsui Iwane, and the Commander of the Kwantung Army, General Mitsuhiro. The three of them were sitting leisurely around the desk, enjoying the Japanese tea ceremony

, chatting and laughing, waiting for the battle report from the front line...

"Report..." Just as the three people were talking with smiles on their faces about the upcoming battle that would determine China's life and death, the very familiar voice of the combat staff in the headquarters reached their ears.

"Come in..." General Matsui Iwane's face immediately showed a hint of joy, and then he said.

As a major staff officer opened the door and walked quickly into the office, the eyes of the three people immediately focused on the major staff officer in front of them.

"Major, what happened?" At Prince Miyamoto's signal, General Matsui Iwane continued to ask.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Air Force Commander, the Combined Fleet has just sent a telegram: All aviation units of our Central China Front are ready. A total of more than 300 bombers of various types and more than 100 fighter jets are all ready.

They can take off for combat at any time... All carrier-based aircraft of the combined fleet are also ready to take off..." the major replied.

"Yoshi, Matsui-kun, Mizu-kun, our opportunity has finally come. This time, we must pass this attack, completely annihilate the main force of the army, and complete the mission that we have not completed in the Songhu battlefield.

"How are you? Are all the combat units of the Central China Front and the Kwantung Army on the front line ready?" Prince Miyamoto's face was immediately covered with a thick smile. He turned around and asked the two beloved generals beside him.

"Reporting to your Excellency, Commander, all the attacking troops of the Central China Front are fully prepared and ready to launch the most violent attack on the Chinese positions facing them at any time, break through the defense lines of the Chinese Communist troops in one fell swoop, and destroy the Chinese National Government..." Matsui

General Shigen spoke first.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, Commander, the Kwantung Army's total force of 250,000 troops is fully ready. As long as Your Excellency, Prince, your attack order is issued, the 250,000 elite Kwantung Army will definitely break through China as soon as possible***

Elites, annihilate China's *** 300,000 elites..." General Lang also assured me with a confident face every time.

"Yo Xi, very good. In this case, now I order: all air forces, in half an hour, immediately take to the sky, to carry out a half-hour violent bombing of the Chinese Communist positions. Then, the artillery units,

An hour-long saturation bombardment was carried out on the current Chinese Communist positions, killing a large number of Chinese troops and destroying their defensive positions... After the bombardment, all combat troops immediately launched an attack in an effort to break through the Chinese Communist Party in one fell swoop.

*Position..." Prince Miyamoto ordered with a confident look.

"Ha Yi, your Excellency the Commander is wise, and you will take care of your humble duty immediately..." After saying that, the two Commanders with the rank of general rushed out of the office.

On the *** position that stretched for hundreds of kilometers, Japanese fighter jets risked being shot down at the first opportunity to destroy the limited anti-aircraft firepower of the *** troops on the position. Each one was loaded with various bombs.

Bombers came to the battlefield one after another and began to drop bombs...

"Buzz buzz... boom boom boom..." Amidst the roar of the bomber's huge engine, heavy bombs quickly fell to the ground with a huge whistling sound. Then, the bombs lined with trenches and fortifications...

On the position, a large crater with a radius of dozens of meters was blasted...

With the big pit as the center, within a radius of fifty meters, no matter where the Japanese troops were hiding, they were dealt a devastating blow by the heavy bombs.

For a time, amidst the explosions of heavy bombs, the entire position was also completely enveloped by the sea of ​​​​fire caused by the explosion of artillery shells. Almost every minute, hundreds of gunfire were fired upon.

*Soldiers were blown to pieces because of their crude fortifications….

A *** position was built in the regiment command post several meters underground. With every explosion of an aerial bomb, a large amount of soil and dust would fall from the wooden beams at the top of the offensive. In less than ten minutes

At that time, the entire regiment command post was shrouded in thick smoke and dust...

"Tuanzuo, Tuanzuo... It seems that the Japs are preparing to launch a general attack... I have been a soldier for so many years, and apart from the original Battle of Songhu, I have never seen such a violent bombing... I don't know,

How are the troops outside?" Crouching in the corner of the headquarters, amid the violent explosions of artillery shells on the ground, the deputy commander almost roared at the commander beside him.

"Brother Wang, all we can do now is hope for God's blessing. If nothing else happens, today, the Japs who have been preparing for more than half a month will launch a general attack on us. But now, the Japs' air strikes are just

They launched the first attack. At that time, after the first attack is over, there will be the second attack, artillery fire. In a word, the artillery fire from the Japs today is more than we can bear..." The regiment leader looked helpless.

replied...

Sure enough, as the regiment leader said, the bombing that lasted for half an hour had just ended. The Japanese artillery unit, which had assembled nearly a thousand artillery pieces of various calibers, immediately began to make a deafening roar. Almost every minute, thousands of guns were fired.

Tens of thousands of large-caliber artillery shells landed on the fragile Japanese position, causing a shower of blood and the remains of soldiers' limbs and arms...

"Tuanzuo, the kid's bombardment is about to end..." The continuous bombardment for an hour finally ended under everyone's expectations. As the Japanese army's fierce artillery fire began to extend to the rear of the position, the shelling had been bombed.

In the regiment command post, which was almost half collapsed. The deputy commander reminded the regiment commander beside him loudly...

"I heard it too. Pass the order and order all living brothers to immediately enter the position, repair the trenches, and prepare to meet the infantry attack of the little devils... In addition, in the shortest time, it is clear that after the shelling just now, the current troops

,How many people are left..." The leader's face was immediately shrouded in a serious look, and he ordered very decisively.

"Yes, Tuanzu..."

After rushing out of the regiment command post, the position that had been bombed to the ground appeared in the eyes of the deputy commander. Of course, the entire position surface had been covered with a thick layer of bombs and artillery for more than an hour.

The floating soil was completely charred by artillery fire...

"Brothers, hurry up and get into position, the little Japs are coming up..."

"Brothers who are alive, enter the position immediately..." At this moment, the deputy commander had no energy and continued to admire the position that had been bombed into ruins. He stepped on the soft soil on the ground and relied on his memory to find the position.

Above, there are air-raid shelters for Tibetans...

In the huge position, as the voice of the deputy commander rang out, a trace of movement finally began to appear... Soldiers who were listless after fierce artillery fire began to drag the heavy rifles in their hands and crawl out of the place that was almost blown into ruins.

The trenches. Then, under the command of the commanders at all levels around them, they mechanically waved the engineering shovels in their hands and began to repair the trenches...

"Regimental seat, the casualties of the troops have been calculated..." He rushed into the regiment command post and said to the anxious-looking regimental commander in front of him, the deputy regimental commander.

"Say..." the leader said.

"Yes, regimental commander, we have just made preliminary statistics: During the artillery attack for more than an hour, we had a total of seven air-raid shelters that were directly hit by the Japs' artillery fire. And our seven infantry platoons hiding in the air-raid shelters, three

More than a hundred soldiers, without exception, were all killed. In addition, there were six air-raid shelters, which were damaged to varying degrees, and more than a hundred soldiers were killed... So far, the entire regiment has the strength to fight, including the regiment headquarters.

Including personnel, there are less than 1,100 people left. All heavy weapons, except eight light machine guns, have been destroyed..." the deputy commander replied with a sad look on his face.

"In other words, in the shelling just now, the entire regiment lost one-third of its troops. In addition, it also lost all its heavy machine guns and two-thirds of its light machine guns..." The regiment leader frowned.

asked rhetorically.

"Yes, captain..." the deputy captain replied affirmatively.

"No matter what, even if there is only one person left in the whole regiment, you must hold the position for me... The division commander just called. Without orders from superiors, we cannot give up the position until we fight to the last person in the regiment. Otherwise, what awaits us

, it’s just a cold gun..." the leader said firmly.

"But, Commander, what we have to face is a well-equipped Kwantung Army brigade of the Japanese army... without heavy firepower, plus us without trench cover. Lying on the position, we are almost small.

The target of the Japanese... Did the commander tell us to send reinforcements?" The deputy commander asked the commander in front of him with the last glimmer of hope.

"Don't think about reinforcements. According to the division report, the bombing and artillery attack by the Japs just now caused the losses of several other main regiments to be greater than ours. So far, the division has six regiments and a strength of 10,000 people.

Including the troops directly under the division headquarters, there are only less than 6,000 troops left... However, the division commander said that at critical times, the mountain artillery battalion directly under the division headquarters will provide us with some artillery support. Of course, we will also

Don't hold out too much hope. After all, our artillery shells are limited, and the Japanese artillery troops are also staring at us eagerly. As long as the artillery battalion fires, they will definitely suffer a devastating blow from the Japanese army. Before the critical moment, the division

You will definitely not use this precious artillery battalion in your hands..." the regiment leader replied helplessly.

"Team leader, then we will just watch as more than a thousand brothers die here..." the deputy leader asked with a look of reluctance.

"It is also the pride of all of us to be able to die on the anti-Japanese battlefield. Deputy commander, don't say any more. If you continue to say it, I will impose military law on you in the name of disrupting the morale of the army... Don't forget, we are all Chinese.

.I think back then, we retreated and retreated again and again from the Songhu battlefield, and we got here. If we retreated further, we would have to return to our hometown... Do you want the elders in your hometown to be caught in the flames of war and be attacked by the little devils?

Knead it?" the leader yelled with a murderous look on his face.

"Yes, regimental leader, I understand... Just give the order..." Hearing that the elders in his hometown would fall into the flames of war because of his retreat. The face of the deputy commander was also the first.

Time showed a determined expression. Then, he answered very decisively.

"Okay, let me tell the brothers that we are here. For the sake of our fellow villagers in our hometown, even if we die on the battlefield, we cannot take a step back..." the regiment leader ordered with a firm look on his face...

On the Kwantung Army position, an infantry brigade, nearly a thousand well-equipped Japanese soldiers, stood neatly on the starting position, listening to the instructions of their captain...

"Gentlemen, you are all the best Kwantung Army troops in our Great *** Empire. In the Manchuria region, my elite Kwantung Army troops suffered repeated setbacks under the attacks of the Northeast China Field Army and were ridiculed by their colleagues many times.

And today is the first battle since our Kwantung Army entered the Guanzhong, and it is also the first battle to wipe away the shame of our Kwantung Army. Therefore, I hope that all of you standing here can carry forward the spirit of the Kwantung Army and use the powerful combat effectiveness of our Kwantung Army to

Breaking through the position of the Chinese *** troops in front of us in one fell swoop..."

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Great Empire..." In an instant, a deafening shout came from the infantry phalanx. Every soldier waved his clenched fists and shouted loudly and kindly.

.

"Yo Xi... Now I order the infantry artillery squad, mortar squadron, and heavy machine gun squadron to immediately deploy their positions to provide sufficient fire cover for the infantry. The first infantry squadron serves as the first echelon, and the second and third infantry squadrons

As the third echelon and the fourth infantry squadron as the reserve, we will launch an attack immediately..." Pulling out his sharp command knife, the captain ordered with a confident look on his face.

"Ha Yi..." Several squadron leaders replied in unison. Then, they led their troops and quickly rushed to the battlefield not far away.

"Boom, boom, bang..." In less than five minutes, the infantry artillery squad, mortar squadron, and heavy machine gun squadron directly under the brigade were facing the enemy that had been bombed into ruins.

There were roars from the position. At the same time, the First Infantry Squadron, more than 180 little Japs, holding rifles with bayonets in their hands, launched their first round of charge...

"Brothers, enter the position quickly, the little devils have begun to charge, enter the position..." The first artillery shell fired by the enemy has just fallen into the position. On the position, the regiment commander who was patrolling back and forth looked at the soldiers around him,

Roared loudly...

"Kill them...Brothers, give me a hard blow and resolutely block the Japs' offensive..." More than a hundred Japs just came into sight, and the few remaining light machine guns in the whole regiment fired.

Under the command of the regiment leader, several hot tongues of fire were sprayed out. In an instant, the dozen or so little Japs charging at the front fell into a pool of blood.

However, for the well-equipped and well-trained Kwantung Army, with less than ten light machine guns, they could only achieve such great results.

"Da da da..." As soon as the defenders opened fire, the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron that had already moved into place spewed out dozens of fiery tongues of flames. Under the powerful firepower of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, the defenders were on the defensive position.

All the light machine guns immediately started to misfire.

At the same time, the Japanese infantry lying on the ground also relied on their precise marksmanship to start shooting at the Chinese soldiers on the position from a long distance. Within a few minutes of exchange of firepower, the firepower on the position became minimal.

"Kill me..."

More than a hundred Japanese soldiers launched another charge...

The garrison position, under the powerful firepower of the Japanese army, had become desolate. Because, in less than a few minutes of fire, more than a hundred soldiers were killed in the firing of Japanese riflemen.

The morale of the soldiers was dealt a huge blow.

"Team leader, the kid's marksmanship is so accurate. If this continues, we won't even be able to stop one of their attacks..." I saw the corpses of soldiers being carried off the position quickly to avoid arousing military morale.

Unstable. Facing the leader next to him who also looked sad, the deputy leader said with a look of despair.

"Tell the brothers, in terms of firepower, we are not as good as the Japs, and in terms of marksmanship, we are not as good as the Japs. Then we will fight with the Japs on bayonets. Order the troops to all mount bayonets and prepare grenades..." As he spoke, the group

There was a hint of murderous intent on his long face. He picked up a rifle with a bayonet from the trench, lay down on the edge of the trench, and waited for the arrival of the little Japs...

"Yes, regimental commander, everyone, bayonets on, prepare to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japs..." Facing the position, the deputy regimental commander shouted kindly...

Without the blocking of the Japanese troops on the position, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers charged to a position less than fifty meters away from the position in the blink of an eye. Seeing that there were already Japanese soldiers, they began to take out the grenades from their waists and prepared

When throwing, the group leader immediately took out a grenade, pulled the ring, and quickly threw it out...

"Brothers, throw grenades and prepare to charge..."

"Woooo...Boom, boom, boom..." A huge whistling sound sounded, and more than 500 grenades drew a perfect arc in the air before landing next to more than a hundred little Japs...

.

"Brothers, charge, kill the Japs..." Seeing more than a hundred Japs, they were instantly enveloped by hundreds of grenades. The leader did not hesitate and immediately picked up the rifle with the bayonet in his hand.

One breaks out of the trench...
