Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 155: A perfect battle, the Japanese search squadron was completely wiped out, and the Japanese side urgently changed the battle plan (ask)
After the gunshots rang out.

The Japanese support troops began to move rapidly towards Xituancheng Village.

A dozen wounded soldiers from the Honor Sharp Knife Company retreated to the rear with the help of the stretcher-bearing team members.

Under the arrangement of Zhou Daxing.

A dozen soldiers pretended to clean up the battlefield.

They picked up the weapons and equipment and placed them in a very conspicuous place in the middle of the road.

It was a rather busy scene.

As for the other main forces, they had already evacuated to the southeast.

They crossed the Changyuan River and retreated to Dongtuancheng Village.

Not long after.

The Japanese support troops arrived quickly.

And he stayed about seven or eight hundred meters away, quite vigilantly.

The leading Japanese squadron leader, Takehiko Oshima, raised his telescope and looked towards the direction of the battlefield.

that's it.

In the telescope.

Takehiko Oshima and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army who were holding telescopes in the distance looked at each other through the telescopes.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army sentry immediately put down his telescope.

Shouting loudly.

Don't know what to say.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army soldiers who were still cleaning up the battlefield quickly rushed onto the road.

They picked up the equipment that had been sorted out and "fled" to the other side of the Changyuan River.

Several soldiers were skating on the river and fell into the water.

Such a hasty move did not make Takehiko Oshima let down his guard.
Instead, they are more vigilant.

And he firmly believed that there was a high probability that the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was ambushing ahead.

but.

so what.

Takehiko Oshima was confident that they were an invincible locust army.

How could they be afraid of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, which had occupied the city of Taiyuan?

He quickly waved his hand to signal the troops to encircle Xituancheng Village, and ordered loudly: "Use grenade launchers to conduct fire reconnaissance on the houses in the city."

"Hai!"

The Japs are very difficult to deal with.

And they have relatively rich combat experience.

Especially the Japanese devils organized into search squadrons.

It's just a routine tactic to lure the enemy.

It's hard to be effective with it.

Bian Fucheng didn't expect this group of elite old devils to be so easily fooled.

Zhou Daxing and other soldiers hid on the hillside behind Xituancheng Village.

The main force, with their bodies covered in snow, quietly waited for the arrival of the Japanese army.

The second and third rows retreated to Dongshantou and waited for the signal flare to be launched, and then they would provide support immediately.

The Japanese grenade launchers opened fire.

One after another, special Type 89 grenades hit the houses in Dongtuan City.

Explosions continued.

More than a hundred Japanese soldiers quickly divided into two attacking formations.

One unit quickly occupied the commanding heights at the entrance of the village.

The other part quickly divided its forces to surround the entire village.

The grenade launcher troops were under the cover of their own infantry.

Continue to move forward and get closer to the front line.

Continue to carry out accurate shooting at houses in the village.

Two grenades are enough to clear a courtyard, which is very efficient.

About ten minutes later.

Takehiko Oshima put down the telescope in his hand and nodded slightly to the adjutant beside him.

"Hai!"

The adjutant moved forward quickly.

He rushed into the village quickly with the remaining twenty or thirty Japanese soldiers.

He raised his gun and moved forward quickly, relying on the gap in the brick and stone wall.

The Japanese soldiers carefully observed the movements in the courtyard.

At the signal of each team leader.

Groups of Japanese soldiers looked at each other.

Take off the melon grenade hanging at your side.

Some hit the butt of the gun.

Some of them habitually knock on the helmets on the pigs' heads.

Hand grenades were thrown into the courtyards of civilian houses and even into rooms.

Boom~!

Boom~!

Explosions continued.

"Attack~!"

"Be careful of the shooting points in the room!"

"Hai Yi~!"

"Left wing, watch out for the left wing, beware of the enemy's flanking fire!"

"123!"

"boom!"

The well-trained Japanese soldiers quickly kicked open the gate.

There are also some Japanese devils.

They formed corresponding combat teams in twos and threes and quickly climbed over the already low courtyard wall.

These little devils are very efficient.

In less than five minutes.

The clearance of more than a dozen houses was completed.

In these courtyards.

Lying on the ground were the bodies of the Japanese devils in groups of three or four.

If you are lucky, you can keep your body intact.

Those who were unlucky were beaten into pieces by the tremendous power of the Thompson submachine gun.

These battle scenes made the Japanese more cautious in their subsequent searches.

Whenever he enters a room, he will use grenades to explore the way first.

Never enter a room to conduct reconnaissance by yourself easily.

that's it.

It took the Japanese army half an hour to completely clear the entire Dongtuancheng Village.

"Crack~!"

After the search is over.

The squad leader slapped the Japanese soldier in the face.

"Baga, who allowed you to use the Type 97 grenade like this?"

It is actually wrong to hit someone on the head with a grenade.

According to Japanese military standards.

What should be hit are the butt of the gun and the sole of the shoe.

The Type 97 hand grenade is actually not reliable.

It is easy to explode.

Hitting a pig's head can not only kill yourself, but also kill others.

In theory, it is prohibited.

"idiot!"

The Japanese soldiers also knew where they were wrong. They bowed their heads slightly, admitted their mistakes, and were beaten: "Ha Yi!"

not far away.

Takehiko Oshima walked into the village entrance.

The adjutant quickly stepped forward and stood at attention: "Report!"

"Say!"

"Reporting to the captain, no trace of the enemy was found in the village. Based on the large number of battle traces we found at the scene, the enemy should be the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

Oshima Takehiko showed a cruel smile: "Yes, they are the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, and I think they are hiding in the small village opposite, just waiting for us to get close, and then they will suddenly attack."

"Squadron Leader, should we continue the bombardment?"

"Sack~!"

Oshima Takehiko chuckled and said, "After the first squad crosses the river, don't rush to launch an attack. Wait until the second squad cuts off their southern evacuation route before launching an artillery attack."

"Hai!"

Zhou Daxing and others who were hiding halfway up the hill watched the Japanese devils fight their battle of wits and courage with the air.

"Captain, these little devils look quite professional!"

"Don't worry, let them play for a while first."

The platoon leader grinned and said, "My head is dizzy from the cold. I'll take a nap for a while. Call me when the fight starts."

"You can't sleep, you're in the snow, you can't wake up if you fall asleep..."

Zhou Daxing forced his own voice to rebuke.

"It's cold, Captain. The brothers have suffered a lot in order to kill these little devils."

"Who wouldn't be cold? Kill these little devils, and I will personally ask the battalion commander for credit for your platoon. You should know that our battalion commander can directly meet with Commander Chu, and you will definitely get some benefits when the time comes."

The platoon leader grinned and bared his teeth: "That's fine, we can't let our brothers suffer in the cold in the winter!"

"Haha, get ready for battle, these bastards are going to put on a show for a while!"

In Xituancheng Village.

Explosions sounded from time to time.

however.

After searching all the houses.

But still no trace of the enemy was found.

This made Takehiko Oshima very uneasy.

Could it be that the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army really ran away?
its not right.

This style of fighting is unlikely to be used by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

The 4th Brigade had previously fought against the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army when it fought in the Wutai area.

They chased the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army along the Hutuo River and attacked fiercely.

These Shanxi-Suiyuan troops would often only occupy advantageous terrain and hold on.

Occasionally, a smart commander would choose to launch a counterattack or a small ambush.

This hit and run style...
It really made them feel a little uncomfortable.

In fact, what the Japanese army feared most was the loss of elite French troops.

The same is true for the Japanese devils. These veterans have accumulated wealth over decades or even tens of years.

Build a sustainable elite force.

In the 21st century it still takes at least 28 months.

Especially during World War II.

Many times, when you lose something, you really lose it.

The Japanese army often preferred to consume a large amount of war resources rather than waste the manpower of elite troops.

Occasionally there are such strange commanders.

It will also be nailed to the pillar of shame in war history.

Nogi Nogi Nogi, the "Pig-Sudden Army God".

When they don't win, they are called executioners and murderers.

When Japan won the Russo-Japanese War, he was regarded as a military god. With such a high casualty ratio, he could be called a military god.

It can only be said that it is really abstract. Even though the current evaluation has already reversed.

Nogi Maresuke could not get rid of the title of "Pig-throwing Military God".

anyway.

Takehiko Oshima was very confused.

How come the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army suddenly became so "smart"?

Don’t they want to annihilate the subsequent support forces?

Oshima Takehiko frowned slightly and touched his chin.

After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't find the answer.

The adjutant walked into the house and checked for signs of life inside.

We can still get a glimpse of the big picture from some small details.

"Captain, based on our current findings, there should have been people living here a few days ago."

“This unit is very likely.”

The words have not yet fallen.

Gunfire rang out.

The Japanese soldiers instantly became extremely alert, raising their rifles and guarding the surroundings.

After a moment, it was confirmed to be safe.

It was an accidental discharge.

"Bagya Road!"

Takehiko Oshima was already feeling irritable and such a mistake occurred at this time.

A dozen consecutive slaps turned the Japanese soldier's head into a pig's.

"Hai!"

"Assemble the troops."

"Hai!"

Takehiko Oshima stepped forward and walked towards the village entrance with his adjutant and others.

He originally thought that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would ambush them in Xituancheng Village, but they did not.

When he thought that the direction in which the small force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had evacuated was the second ambush point.

still none.

Where did the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army troops withdraw to?

The search teams under his command quickly evacuated from the houses.

Gathered behind the two of them.

Takehiko Oshima had not yet had time to issue the order to assemble and search forward.

Zhou Daxing and his team finally waited for this opportunity!

"Fire with full force!"

"Da da da~!"

The soldiers, all equipped with Thompson submachine guns, killed more than twenty Japanese devils at the first moment of opening fire.

Even the Japanese soldiers, who were experienced in combat, were caught off guard.

They have made every possible calculation.

I never expected that there would be someone hiding in the snow halfway up the mountain.

The temperature on the Shanxi Plateau can often reach minus twelve degrees Celsius in the afternoon at this time.

The Japanese soldiers' helmets could freeze their scalps, and if you weren't careful you'd get frostbite all over.

This temperature could very likely freeze someone to death.

What's more, it's hidden in the snow?
"Chirp~!"

A red flare was launched into the air, and the soldiers from the second and third rows saw it and quickly came to support.

Oshima Takehiko's heart suddenly tightened. The firepower of this small unit was rapid and dense, and all members were equipped with automatic weapons.

It's simply not something they can contend with.

next second.

A bullet entered and quickly crushed his internal organs.

He looked down at his chest, pointed at the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army on the hillside, and was speechless.

Takehiko Oshima was a senior lower-level officer in the Japanese army.

He died at the entrance of Xituancheng Village.

The Japanese army dispatched a part of its troops to cut off the retreat route of the "Jinsui Army".

While turning back to provide support, they immediately engaged in a battle with the soldiers from the second and third platoons who came to support them.

What is the most important thing in an encounter?
1. Reaction speed 2. Firepower intensity.

In terms of reaction speed, the soldiers in the second and third rows were not much worse than these elite Japanese devils.

As for the intensity of firepower.

They even crushed the Japanese devils fiercely.

The battle ended quickly.

Four people in the first platoon were killed or injured because of the Japanese grenade launcher.

After all, the second and third platoons were fighting an encounter battle, so they suffered greater casualties, with thirteen people killed and eighteen injured.

In the battle of West and East Tuancheng, a total of about 180 Japanese soldiers were annihilated.

(The search squadron is not a fixed organization. Many troops are not permanent. Only one regular infantry squadron is responsible for the relevant tasks, so the number of people is not fixed.)

Our own side suffered 38 casualties and 17 sacrifices.

It can be called a textbook ambush.

The soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield and retreated towards Nanguan Town as originally planned.

As for the bodies of the Japanese devils, they were left where they were.

Waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops of the 4th Brigade.
Inside the headquarters at this time.

Chu Yunfei stood on the top of the mountain and admired the snow scenery not far away.

The battles of West and East Tuancheng have ended.

Zhou Daxing's command this time was perfect.

The playing style is also impeccable.

We tried our best to make the most of our own advantages and avoid our weaknesses.

The Japanese army was quickly summarizing its experience and making progress.

And they are also growing rapidly.

In the war.

What is needed is constant innovation in tactics and play.

Only in this way.

Only in this way can we maintain our tactical advantage.

This type of company or platoon-level commander has combat experience, his own ideas, and has received complete tactical training.

It is the key to maintaining the combat effectiveness of a unit.

Just like the grassroots non-commissioned officers (squad leader, deputy squad leader, group leader).

It is the most precious treasure of the army.

Their experience is the most powerful weapon for new recruits.

Chu Yunfei is not a god.

No matter how good your brain is, you can't micro-manage accurately to the first level.

The camp is his current limit.

Further down.

This requires the company and platoon commanders to play their own roles.

It is obvious that Zhou Daxing has shown great training value.

Chu Yunfei has made up his mind.

As long as we can hold on to southeastern Shanxi, our financial and food supplies will be guaranteed.

Then we will train Zhou Daxing and Jiandao Lian on a new track.

If everything goes well.

Zhou Daxing and this sharp knife company.

From now on, it will not only be Chu Yunfei's sharp knife.

Instead, it has grown into a veritable sharp sword of the country!

the other side.

The headquarters of the Sakata Regiment of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army.

Ever since losing contact with the search squadron.

The Sakata Corps accelerated its advance.

The advance reconnaissance troops also moved from the original seven kilometers.

The distance was shortened to about three kilometers.

The playing style is more stable and conservative.

That evening, they saw Japanese soldiers' corpses all over the ground in Tuancheng Village.

And the battlefield has been cleaned up.

While Nobutsu Sakata ordered his troops to set up camp on the spot, he also ordered the 1st Infantry Battalion to go forward to provide guard and ensure their own safety.

The situation was reported to Pinglu Yongfu in Taigu County as soon as possible.

All members of the search squadron were killed.

This reminded Pinglu Yongfu of the Heishima Cavalry Regiment that was "destroyed in battle" in Yun County.

For the 4th Brigade.

This is a great shame.

Before this, they were about to go south to attack Chu Yunfei's troops.

He was stopped by Juichi and even Seiji Kozuki in the temple.

For the sake of the overall situation, Pinglu Yongfu obeyed the orders of his superiors.

Just as Pinglu Yongfu was about to order the Sakata Regiment to move forward to search for the enemy and attack according to the original plan.

The second telegram from Nobutsu Sakata arrived.

The Sakata Unit reported truthfully.

They found the chest badge of the 358th Brigade of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army next to the body of the Japanese search squadron leader Takehiko Oshima.

The identity of the ambush troops was confirmed.

And more information was provided in the telegram.

Civilians were evacuated prior to the battle, suggesting they arrived in the area in advance.

In addition, a large number of Thompson submachine gun bullet casings were found on the battlefield.

This type of weapon is usually only equipped by the elite main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

All signs point in one direction.

That was the 358th Brigade of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, which was previously stationed in the Changzhi area.

At this time, they had already moved to the surrounding areas of Qin County and moved forward to resist the enemy. It was highly likely that they had already built a corresponding defense line in Nanguan Town.

Pinglu Yongfu was sitting in front of the battle map at this time, frowning and thinking carefully.

Leaving the badge on the chest intentionally, is this a "warning" with a deeper meaning?
Or was it just a stupid provocation?

Could Chu Yunfei be so bored?
Pinglu Yongfu was not angered.

There is no top either.

As a qualified commander.

Pinglu Yufu does not have obvious character flaws like Jigu Renjie and Nakajima Imaogo.

He analyzed the various possibilities quite calmly.

That night, a phone call came into Taiyuan City.

The situation was reported to the First Army Commander, Seiji Kazuki.

After learning that the ace main force of the Second War Zone was likely to have left the Changzhi area.

That evening, after Katsuki Seiji consulted with the commander of the North China Expeditionary Army, Terauchi Hisaichi, Terauchi Hisaichi immediately contacted the air force unit and asked them to determine the situation in Changzhi area the next day.

Terauchi Hisaichi agreed to Kozuki Seiji's original battle plan to order the 4th Brigade to advance towards Qinshui.

However, it was also emphasized that the 4th Brigade was required to reserve a small number of troops to ensure the safety of the rear supply lines.

After receiving the relevant consent.

A telegram was sent to Shijiazhuang that evening.

He ordered the Muchuan Detachment (the main force of the 109th Division in Shijiazhuang and part of the 16th Division that was resting in Shijiazhuang, commanded by Major General Shozo Muchuan, commander of the 118th Infantry Brigade, which was previously formed to support Handan and has not yet been disbanded) to prepare for battle to the west.

Up to this point, the Japanese military deployment had not actually been adjusted.

The battle in southeastern Shanxi is about to break out.
