Liu Yuzhang did not put down the binoculars: "Fire! Let them cover the Japanese assault infantry and beat me hard!" Following Liu Yuzhang's order, the forward observer of the artillery attached to the 307st Battalion of the 1th Regiment picked up the phone headset and reported loudly: " ...Azimuth 3-1-0, distance 350, high-explosive shells! Eight battalion salvos!"

In the rear, the artillery positions of the Chinese army suddenly seemed to be blown by a strong wind, and clusters of fire flashed, followed by the roar of continuous cannonballs being ejected!Then, from far to near, there seemed to be screams coming from the sky and explosions like winter thunder.Seeing pillars of fire and smoke splashed on the hillside covered with khaki waves of people, shrapnel whizzed and flew in all directions.At the same time, the mortars, recoilless guns, and infantry guns deployed at the front, as well as the 39mm cannons of a dozen T-75 assault guns in Gufeng Village behind, also joined the artillery chorus. For a while, the air was filled with the piercing sound of various shells passing by and the sound of explosions that shook the mountains.For Liu Yuzhang, who was watching from a distance on the hillside, this was indeed an extremely gorgeous picture of war.

For the Japanese infantry who were charging with their heads covered, this sudden shelling was of course a catastrophic encounter for them.Lieutenant General Nakai Ryotaro just saw a flash of light in the northern sky through the telescope. Before he could figure out whether it was thunder or something else, he felt the ground tremble, and then rows of smoke columns fell. It exploded in the Japanese assault formation!The skirmish line, which had become a bit dense due to the Japanese army investing too many offensive troops at one time, was immediately submerged in a sea of ​​flames, and the howling shrapnel flew in all directions, sweeping down the Japanese infantry in pieces, and many people were killed. He died in the shelling before he could even make a cry.The surviving Japanese soldiers did not dare to charge forward any more. Instead, they lay down one after another in search of terrain and features to cover their bodies. They couldn't find a cover, so they had to lie close to the ground, gritted their teeth, and compared their character with the Chinese shells. ...

The intensity of the shelling this time was not at all high in the Korean War, but because it directly covered the Japanese infantry charging in a relatively dense formation, the effect of the shelling was very good. In just 15 minutes of shelling, Nearly 2000 shells of various calibers accurately fell on the heads of the Japanese infantry, inflicting great damage on the Japanese 124th Wing, which was launching a charge. According to the Japanese 122nd Division's report to the 16th Army According to the battle report sent, the entire 124th Regiment lost 12 people in battle on the 998th day and night, 846 people were injured, and 49 people were missing, almost half of them lost!

Chapter 0957 Korean War ([-]) Night Battle

The offensive is like a tide, and bullets are raining like rain.

The 122nd Division of the Japanese Army was not intimidated by the firepower superiority of the Chinese army.On the contrary, Lieutenant General Matsuura Junrokuro, who was already red-eyed, did not hesitate to replace the 124th regiment after the 256th regiment suffered a heavy defeat and retreated to continue the attack.Facing the rain of bullets and artillery shells fired by the Chinese army on the hillside, thousands of elite Japanese infantrymen, under the cover of dozens of mountain artillery and infantry artillery, launched wave after wave of offensives on the corpses of their comrades.The hastily built fortifications of the Chinese army have long been completely destroyed under the bombardment of Japanese artillery fire. The officers and soldiers of the 307st Battalion of the 1th Regiment either lay down in bomb craters of various sizes and fired wildly with machine guns and rifles in their hands; The T-39 assault gun that drove up to the position used it as a cover, leaning against the steel body, staring at the Japanese soldiers who rushed up with Molotov cocktails and grenades in front of them, shouting the slogan "onboard! Onboard!" The team opened fire desperately.The civilian 25-type general-purpose machine gun sounded like the firing sound of a chainsaw rotating at high speed, and it rang out across the entire front.The crossfire formed by the commanding heights of the Chinese army positions formed a fire net on the hillside.In the meantime, there were bursts of huge flashes and deafening roars. That was the T-39 assault gun bombarding the firepower point of the Japanese army below the hillside with 75mm high-explosive shells.Up and down the mountain became one.

The paratrooper artillery battalion of the Chinese army is also doing its best to suppress the Japanese army's crowd attack with firepower.The dense artillery shells accurately landed in the attacking team again and again, knocking down the Japanese officers and soldiers one by one.But the remaining Japanese soldiers charged forward without hesitation, and soon some Japanese soldiers rushed to the front of the Chinese army's front line!The Chinese army's grenades fell like raindrops, and landed on the road of the Japanese army's charge. There were explosions one after another, and immediately brought up pieces of flesh and blood.The motors of several T-39 assault guns suddenly roared, and they pressed straight towards the charging Japanese army!The Japanese troops who stood up did not show any weakness, they greeted them with strange screams, and slammed the explosive packs on their bodies!There were a few loud bangs, and red gunpowder smoke with a strong smell of blood filled the battlefield, but those T-39 assault guns only lagged a little, and began to move slowly again!Seeing this scene, the Chinese soldiers on the battlefield gave out cheers at the same time.

However, the morale of the Japanese army was temporarily low, and even a suicide attack could not do anything to these giant steel beasts!However, what happened afterwards was beyond the expectations of the Chinese officers and soldiers. The Japanese soldiers who were frustrated in the attack seemed to have gone crazy, and desperately rushed forward against the rain of bullets and explosions.Batches of grenades, Molotov cocktails, and meat bombs carrying bombs fell around the T-39 assault gun. After bursts of huge explosions, a T-39 assault gun finally burst into flames. A member of the assault gun team with flames all over his body climbed out of the assault gun vehicle, and was immediately knocked down by the firepower of the Japanese army!

See the attack succeed. "On board! On board!" The shouts resounded throughout the battlefield, even the loud sound of shells exploding and machine guns firing seemed to be covered up.

The bloody battle between the two sides lasted until midnight. Under the hillside guarded by the 307st Battalion of the 1th Regiment, there were already layers of Japanese corpses, most of which were killed by various artillery pieces of the Chinese army.However, wave after wave of Japanese infantry stepped on these corpses and rushed up!On the 102 Heights where the fighting was most intense, the Japanese army finally launched their best hand-to-hand combat with a company of Chinese defenders!

However, the result of the hand-to-hand combat surprised these Japanese devils.It turns out that the soldiers of the 52nd Army of the National Defense Forces were replenished in Shaanxi and Gansu, and they were all strong men from the Northwest. Moreover, the years when these soldiers grew up were not the troubled times of the Republic of China in history, but the "peace and prosperity" after China's basic reunification. , each of them was several circles bigger than those Japanese scorpions.They have also undergone at least 11 months of rigorous training, and most of the soldiers have actual combat experience in the "Anti-Soviet War", which is simply not comparable to those Japanese uncles in the 122 Division composed of reserve soldiers.

As a result, as soon as the blade was handed over, most of the people who were pierced were babbling oriental soldiers.What made the eyes of these Japanese uncles even more angry was that a few Chinese infantrymen did not know what was going on, but actually pulled out a curved pistol from their waists when they were fighting bayonets, and fired at the Japanese soldiers in front of them. Those guys who fell down with rifles didn't close their eyes when they died.It turns out that the Chinese National Defense Forces allow officers and soldiers to purchase some equipment by themselves... Some soldiers from wealthy families will spend money to buy some pistols, leather boots and so on!By the way, since China has become an imperialist country, Chinese citizens, like citizens of other imperialist countries in the world, can buy guns for self-defense after being approved by relevant departments!

Ryotaro Nakai, the commander of the 122nd Division, held a telescope in the command post on the opposite hill, watching his subordinates rushing into the flesh and blood mill composed of superior firepower and armored weapons of the Chinese army in batches like a nightmare. , was ground to ashes.Watching my heroic officers and soldiers exchange hundreds or even hundreds of lives for an assault tank of the Chinese army!Watching those elderly and malnourished uncles being casually stabbed to death by those lively Chinese boys in hand-to-hand combat, or even shot to death by insidious Chinese infantrymen with pistols!A crazy lieutenant officer (probably the leader of the Japanese soldiers who were smashed in hand-to-hand combat) held a sharp samurai sword and was rushing towards a huge Chinese soldier with a total height of 1.8 meters.Suddenly two or three Chinese soldiers came up behind him, held up their rifle butts, and slapped him on the head. After being knocked unconscious, they tied him with a rope and carried them away!Apparently he was taken prisoner.

Seeing this scene, he suddenly threw away the binoculars in his hand, and shouted at the Chief of Staff Akiyama Yoshitaka beside him: "Let the 266th and 267th regiments go together!"

"Give power to the 16th Army Command and ask them where the 18th Division is and what the 106th Division is doing! Why hasn't it launched an attack behind the Chinese Army! It is impossible to defeat the enemy with the strength of our 122nd Division. This group of terrifying Chinese elites! Our division needs tactical guidance!"

……

"Chichichi..."

A sound like a chainsaw turning at high speed cut through the darkness and spread from a distance to the middle of the mechanized marching team rumbling along the ice of the Zhongman River.

"Where to shoot?" Shi Jue, commander of the 25rd Armored Grenadier Division, who was marching in a half-track armored command vehicle, immediately recognized that it was a Min [-] general-purpose machine gun firing!

"For your sake, it's the west that is firing. It should be the Armored Force Search Battalion." Lieutenant Colonel Hao Boxiong, deputy chief of staff of the 25rd Armored Grenadier Division sitting next to Shi Jue, frowned and replied.At this time, the sound of gunfire in the distance seemed to be intensified. There were not only the chi-chi-chi of Min-25 machine guns, but also the chug-chug of Min-92 automatic rifles, and the crackling of Japanese Type 105 heavy machine guns. sound!In the end, there were bursts of booming explosions of shells. Hao Boxiong, who is experienced in the battlefield, could hear it with his ears. It was the sound of [-]mm recoilless shells exploding.

"For the sake of the public, it seems that our people have encountered the enemy, should we deploy troops to prepare for battle?" Hao Boxiong suggested.

Shi Jue nodded noncommittally, and ordered the driver to stop, then climbed onto the roof of the half-track armored command vehicle, raised his binoculars and looked at the place where the flames were rising in the distance.The order he received was that the 12rd Panzergrenadier Division should arrive at Guipingli before 13 am on December 6 to reinforce Liu Yuzhang's detachment there.It is already 13 o'clock in the morning on the 2th, but the [-]rd Panzergrenadier Division has only walked two-thirds of the distance... If the Japanese army that is fighting with its power search battalion is only a small group of Japanese troops, it is wrong. If you miss the itinerary, you will be punished.But what if the opponent is the main force of the Japanese army?

"Bo Xiong, is there any news from Liu Weizhang?" Shi Jue asked hesitantly.

Hao Boxiong thought for a while, and replied: "Mr. Liu just received a report of the war situation a quarter of an hour ago. The front line of Gufeng Village was attacked by about one division of the Japanese army. The 307th regiment has repelled six Japanese attacks! Thousands of people have been reduced. They themselves also suffered over a thousand casualties. However, the Guipingli line on the northern line was relatively calm. The Japanese army only sent one wing to attack, and it ended hastily after fighting three times. The east and west lines were not attacked.” Speaking of this, His face suddenly became serious: "Weigong, do you think the group of Japanese troops encountered by the Weili Search Battalion were dispatched from the Dapingli and Longpingli areas in the west to attack Liu Weigong's troops, but they were killed by us?" met?"

"It's possible." Shi Jue frowned and nodded, but he still didn't make a final decision.Hao Baixiong raised his head and made another suggestion: "It is better to deploy a regiment first, and the rest of the troops continue to advance to Guipingli... According to Commander Liu's telegram, the pressure there is not too great, it is just a division of the Japanese army and a regiment. If we add more than half of our division, we will be able to defeat the attacking Japanese army."

Shi Jue hummed, and ordered loudly: "Leave the 23rd Panzergrenadier Regiment, the 203rd Assault Gun Battalion, the 31st Self-Propelled Artillery Battalion, and the 11st Company Special Detachment of the 1th Self-Propelled Artillery Battalion. Commander Zhang Zikai, head of the 23rd Regiment." He jumped off the roof of the half-track vehicle, paused before entering the compartment, glanced at Hao Boxiong and said, "Boxiong, you will serve as the chief of staff of Zhang Zikai's detachment and assist He commanded the battle. If it is a small group of Japanese troops, just disperse the matter, don’t love to fight, and if it is the main force of the Japanese army, please notify me in time.”

"Yes!"

……

At this time, on the winding road west of the Zhongman River, the infantry of the Japanese 18th Division of the brigade had stopped marching and was sitting on both sides of the road with their rifles in their arms, taking out frozen rice balls Gobbled it up in the cold snow water.There are also some artillerymen who are playing with the mountain artillery and infantry artillery parts that have just been unloaded from the mules, assembling them one by one into a 75mm and 70mm caliber cannon.

Lieutenant General Jiu Nacheng of the 18th Division stood on a high ground by the road, holding a telescope and looking towards the east, surrounded by a group of staff officers from the division headquarters, all of them were frowning tightly. , his face was extremely solemn.There were faint sounds of guns and artillery in the distance, and from time to time, flames could be seen shining and shining in the night sky.From time to time, Chuanqi would come running from the front and loudly report the situation ahead.

"This Chinese army has jeeps, light armored vehicles, and 105mm recoilless guns. Such equipment must be the armored power search battalion of the Chinese army. That is to say... there are armored divisions or armored grenadiers of the Chinese army nearby. Division! I am afraid it is the reinforcements of the Chinese army!"

"It may also be the security forces sent by the Chinese army in Guipingli and Gufeng Village. They should be dispersed quickly and then speed up. They must reach the west of Guipingli within tonight to complete the deployment."

"It is still necessary to further investigate the situation before making a decision."

"Soldiers are precious, and our division is the key to turning the entire battle situation around! The army headquarters' instructions are very clear, asking us to reach the west side of Guipingli as quickly as possible to launch an offensive!"

"However, if the enemy's situation is unknown, how should we deploy it? If there is an armored unit of the Chinese Army in front, wouldn't our 18th Division want to..."

"If there is an armored division of the Chinese Army in front, then our 18th Division cannot back down! We can only use our fearless sacrifice to delay the progress of the Chinese Armored Division and buy time for the adjustment of the Korean Army! Otherwise, the consequences will be even more disastrous! "

"Yes, Your Excellency, Lieutenant General! Let the sacrifice of the 18th Division be the beginning of turning the tide of the battle! Your Excellency, please make a decision early!"

"Please order the attack! Now only the attack of our 18th Division can save the entire Korean War!"

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General! Please order the attack!"

At the end of the discussion, the offensive spirit advocated by the Japanese Army finally played a role. Everyone's voices were extremely neat, and they all asked Lieutenant General Juna Chengichi to order the attack.However, the opinions of this group of passionate Japanese army staff officers are not unreasonable. Looking at the current situation of the battle, the entire Yalu River defense line is under fierce attack from the Chinese army, especially the middle part of the defense line has shown signs of collapse!If there is really a Chinese armored division or armored grenadier division advancing from the breakthrough in Jinchengli to the front line of Guipingli and Gufeng Village, no matter whether it is the 55th Division and the 106th Division in the north of Guipingli, or Gufeng Village The 122nd Division on the southern line, and the 123rd Division on the way, I am afraid they will all be finished!The Chinese army can drive straight along the Chushan-Yunshan Highway, and advance to the side of the Japanese 15th Army... At that time, even if the 18th Division is intact, it will not help. It is better to fight it all now. Pulled down!

"Okay!" Jiu Nacheng put down the binoculars and took a deep breath: "Order the 18th Regiment of the Mountain Artillery to expand its artillery position, the 56th Regiment of the Infantry to enter the offensive launch line, the 55th Regiment of the Infantry to deploy the reserve position, and the 114th Regiment of the Infantry The team seized the commanding heights on both sides of the road, and the 116th Infantry Wing served as the general reserve team..."

"Report." At this moment, a messenger came galloping from the front, and the messenger yelled loudly on the horseback: "The armored troops of the Chinese! The vanguard encountered the armored troops! There are No. [-] assault guns , and armored vehicles, and self-propelled artillery..."

"what!"

Just when the high-level leaders of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army were stunned.Originally under the attack of the powerful search battalion of the Chinese army, the Japanese reconnaissance and search brigade, which had been struggling to support, was crushed by the tracks of the assault gun just as soon as it sent an alarm to the rear.The assault guns and armored vehicles of the Chinese army rushed straight to the 56th Wing of the Japanese Army.

The Japanese infantrymen, who were suddenly confronted with an armored assault, shouted frantically, and desperately used their weapons to shoot at these rumbling steel monsters.Machine gun rifles mingle.Sparks jingled and splashed on the thick frontal armor of the assault guns and armored vehicles.But it can't pose any threat to these armored vehicles.The anti-aircraft machine guns installed on the assault guns and armored vehicles also began to spit out flames at this time, and the armored grenadiers who accompanied them also shot a stream of fire with their automatic rifles.Several 105mm self-propelled artillery stopped and fired at the firepower of the Japanese army to suppress it.Such close-range bombardment beat the Japanese army to pieces on the entire front!A round of 105mm artillery shells accurately landed in a place where the Japanese army was relatively dense, and then a cloud of smoke rose up to cover everything. If you look carefully, you can vaguely see human stumps and weapon fragments lifted high Up in the air.The two 37mm anti-tank guns were set up by the scrambling Japanese artillery. They didn't dare to expect to hit the thick frontal armor of the No. 28 assault gun, so they had to aim the muzzle at the Min-75 heavy armored vehicle. After a few shots, they finally hit I bought one, but then a burst of 37mm shells came in, and the two [-]mm anti-aircraft guns disappeared without a trace together with the Japanese artillery!

Intensive firepower swept across the entire front of the 56th Regiment.The Japanese army was completely powerless to parry.More than fifty roaring steel behemoths increased their horsepower and rushed into the Japanese battle line!The flesh and blood of Japanese officers and soldiers were crushed with crawlers, and the lives of Japanese were harvested with anti-aircraft machine guns.One after another half-track armored vehicles also followed, and the machine guns, recoilless guns on them, and the infantry riding on them also fired together!The Japanese volunteer team was organized in a hurry, and rushed up desperately holding Molotov cocktails, grenades, or explosives. Most of them were killed by various automatic firepower within a few steps.Occasionally, a few lucky ones just hit the frontal armor of the No. 56 assault gun with a Molotov cocktail or a grenade, but it did not cause any damage, at most it left some scorched marks on the steel plate of the assault gun!The [-]th Regiment of the Japanese Army was thrown into chaos by the sudden armored assault. Before it could be organized, it fell into collapse!

Chapter 0958 The Korean War ([-]) The Myth of the Invincibility of the Chinese Army

1939, April 12.

The war has become more and more fierce along the entire line of the Yalu River.To the west of the Zhongman River, the tanks of the "Zhang Zikai Detachment" composed of the first part of the Chinese Third Armored Grenadier Division ran over the front line of the 56th Regiment of the Japanese Army, crushing the resistance of the Department and eliminating all those who dared to stop it. Japanese officers and soldiers marching forward.

After a fierce battle most of the night. The "Zhang Zikai Detachment" has pushed the 18th Division of the Japanese Army advancing along the Shuozhou-Chuzhou Highway back to the Dapingli line, basically annihilating the 18th Division's reconnaissance brigade and the 56th Infantry Wing.The price he has borne is no more than a dozen No. 2 assault guns that broke down or were damaged (two of them were completely lost), eight wheeled or half-track armored vehicles were damaged, and the total number of casualties and missing people was no more than a hundred.The 18th Division of the Japanese Army, Jiu Nacheng, hastily mobilized the 55th Wing, the 114th Wing, and the 116th Wing from the rear into the battlefield in an attempt to counterattack.But they were all repulsed by the powerful firepower of assault guns and armored vehicles.In the middle of the night, on both sides of the road, Japanese soldiers threw corpses.A large number of technical weapons were abandoned or damaged.Even the positions of the 18th Artillery Regiment were breached by assault artillery units, and all 24 75mm mountain guns were destroyed (so that 12 105mm howitzers and 12 150mm howitzers did not reach the front line). , Scattered in a haphazard manner on the battlefield that the Chinese assault artillery troops have just charged, it seems to herald the final outcome of the Korean War.

The 18th Division of the Japanese Army retreated around Dapingli before it had time to catch its breath. The Japanese defense line on the Yalu River in the north of Dapingli was broken by the 8rd Central Asian Division of the 16th Army belonging to the Chinese 3th Army!The remnants of the 18th Division and the Japanese troops defending Dapingli had no choice but to join forces to hold a few hills around Dapingli. guide".A Japanese division of more than 16 people was actually defeated by a strengthened Chinese armored grenadier regiment in half a night!This is also the first record for a Chinese regiment to defeat a Japanese division!Of course, such a battle column is by no means the only case in this war...

On the front of Gufeng Village, a key point in the Jiangnan Mountains, the mixed troops of three regiments and one battalion commanded by Lieutenant General Liu Yuzhang, commander of the 52nd Army, fought hard until 13 am on the 4th.Their current position not only blocked the rear of the 55th and 106th Divisions of the Japanese Army in Chushan, but also occupied the main road leading to Yunshan.Even if the North Korean army uses all its strength, it will take back here, at least to take back the mountain pass of Gufeng Village to ensure the safety of Yunshan!

The remaining troops of the 122nd Division (of which the 124th and 256th Wings suffered more than half of the casualties, and the 266th and 267th Wings also lost more than one-third), and the 12rd Division that arrived at midnight on the 123th The Tuanhe soldiers, with an absolutely superior force, launched a crazy counterattack against the Chinese army on the front line of Gufeng Village!After the encounter to the west of the Zhongman River started, the Japanese offensive became even crazier. They had to take back the mountain pass of Gufeng Village before the Chinese armored forces arrived!

The sound of gunfire echoed in the valley.On the high ground around Gufeng Village, there are rows of rising smoke columns.Hundreds of Japanese mountain artillery were fired, and the shells were fired like they didn't want money.The Chinese army on the opposite side did not show weakness. Twelve 12mm light howitzers and dozens of 105mm heavy mortars were also concentrated to support the highlands on the front line of Gufeng Village. The T-120 assault gun also roared and climbed up the relatively flat hillside to a high place, directly participating in the positional battle!On the front of the road at the foot of the mountain, there was a battalion of assault guns lined up, constantly bombarding the charging Japanese skirmish line with 39mm cannons.The yellow corpses of the Japanese army almost filled the entire battlefield.

Amidst the roar of the cannon, Lieutenant General Liu Yuzhang squatted in a bomb crater and held up a telescope to observe the battle ahead, his heart was already in his throat.The Japanese army's human attack seemed endless, and the hastily built field fortifications of the defenders had long been flattened. If it weren't for the dozens of T-39 assault guns showing their prowess, they might have been breached by now!

But even so, the Japanese army gradually seized the advantage on the battlefield by virtue of their absolute superiority in numbers and the spirit of Bushido who was not afraid of death.The defenders on several hills to the south of Gufeng Village were in a bitter battle, and troops from the northern, western, and eastern fronts were continuously drawn out to form a reserve team and put into the front line of Gufeng Village.In order to save not much ammunition, the intensity of fire support also began to decrease.

From the telescope in Liu Yuzhang's hand, it can be seen that a huge Japanese attack column has assembled again and is forming a charge formation. The target seems to be the 102 Heights that the two sides have repeatedly fought for several times!

Liu Yuzhang picked up the phone and called the regiment headquarters of the 308th Regiment who stayed in Guipingli: "Has the [-]rd Panzergrenadier Division come yet? What! It's stuck on the road... Let them send some infantry over first and run forward! Tell Shi Why, here in Gufeng Village, there is one regiment against the two divisions of the Japanese, so it is extremely urgent!

Also, think of a way to gather a reserve team for Lao Tzu... then withdraw the two companies on the east and west sides, and transfer them to Gufeng Village for me. You must hurry! "
