Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

With a rapid fire rate of 3 rounds in 20 minutes, a total of more than 4000 shells were fired, turning the Japanese artillery positions into a sea of ​​flames.The violent large-caliber artillery fire really gave the Japanese artillery a taste of cutting-edge heavy artillery. The martyred shells even collapsed the underground headquarters of the Japanese 7th Division not far from the artillery position.General Ishii, who survived by chance, was dug out of the dust by his subordinates, and he never dared to say anything about attacking Taipinggou, so he could only stare fiercely at the opposite side of the river.

Although General Kawamoto, who had other plans, was not very concerned about the battle in Taipinggou, the annihilation of the entire division artillery unit still made him unhappy, and he also cut off the idea of ​​​​attacking across the Yalu River.The Japanese army has always been best at sneak attacks. Obviously, Kawamoto did not give up this tradition, and decided to let China suffer a bit.

At 23:11, on the sea south of the mouth of the Yalu River, hundreds of various transport ships and even fishing boats sailed quietly to the river beach, escorted by the 12th and 2th fleets of the Japanese Navy.This time they transported the [-]nd Division that had just been transferred from Xuanchuan to Qifengli. They planned to find a loosely guarded beachhead to land on the beach.

At midnight, the frogman team of the 2th Regiment of the 25nd Division secretly landed on the beach under the cover of night. The naval guns on the 11th and 12th Japanese Navy's 12 cruisers and destroyers also suddenly opened fire. Secretly provided artillery support to the Japanese troops performing landing operations.

Just listening to the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh", more than a dozen flares exploded in mid-air, emitting dazzling light, and then shells fired by 140mm and 120mm naval guns stirred up countless dust on the beach , the orange-red flash from the explosion was extremely dazzling in the dark night, and the reef fragments flew around for a while.The Chinese defenders, who were caught off guard, had no power to fight back under the strong firepower of naval guns.Soon, a brigade of the 25th Wing successfully landed on the beach.The brigade did not make any stop, and immediately rushed to the trench of the third battalion of the 1st Armored Division with a rifle in hand.

The gunners on the ships of the 11th and 12th Squadrons of the Japanese Navy seemed to have excellent night shooting ability until the Japanese infantry rushed to only 100 meters from the trenches and began to fire in the deep echelon.

There was only one company of Chinese defenders in the first trench. The shelling just now caused the company to lose more than 20 soldiers, but the officers and soldiers of the third battalion quickly adjusted their combat status.As soon as the shelling stretched back, they stuck their heads out and quickly mounted machine guns and rifles.Since the Japanese army had rushed to less than 100 meters from the trench, the soldiers began to aim and shoot without waiting for the order to fire.One wave of shooting brought down two or three hundred Japanese soldiers, but the Japanese army rushed too close. Before the second wave of shooting was ready, the Japanese army had already jumped into the trenches and fought with the Chinese soldiers in the trenches. stand up.Due to the large number of Japanese troops, all Chinese soldiers in a company in the first trench died in less than 3 minutes.

Then, most of the Japanese soldiers climbed out of the trenches and rushed to the second trench, while a few cunning Japanese soldiers walked towards the second trench along several traffic trenches.The Japanese army was not familiar with the route of the traffic trench, and the Chinese soldiers guarding the traffic trench beat back with machine guns and grenades.

Although the barbed wire fence of the second trench was blown up and down by naval guns, a considerable part was still intact, which kept the Japanese army out.Dozens of gaps in the barbed wire also became the main target of the Chinese machine gunners. The Japanese troops who rushed in through the gaps were knocked to the ground by the chains of fire sprayed out by the machine guns, and the Japanese offensive was immediately contained.In order to give the follow-up troops time to go ashore, this group of Japanese soldiers desperately charged towards the barbed wire fence, threw themselves on the barbed wire fence and used their bodies to set up a cushion for the subsequent Japanese troops.In this way, the remaining 800 people of the brigade finally broke through the barrier of the barbed wire.

The two companies and a machine gun platoon stationed in the second trench fired desperately, finishing one magazine after another. Soon, every machine gun position was full of empty magazines.White smoke drifted from the red barrel in the cold night wind.The ears of every Chinese soldier were deafened by the loud bullets, and everyone's eyes were bloodshot. If anyone can keep calm at this time, then he is a god.Of the more than 800 Japanese, less than 200 were able to rush into the trenches, and the rest jumped into the trenches screaming and fighting hand-to-hand with the Chinese guards, but the Chinese quickly took advantage of the number of remaining 200. The Japanese devils sent them to the west.

The destruction of this Japanese brigade also bought time. In less than a minute, the two Japanese brigades that had just landed jumped into the first trench, and the captain of the 1th Regiment of the Japanese Army who arrived immediately organized an attack in person.Due to the bombardment of the Japanese naval guns and the incomplete tunnel work, the follow-up troops of the third battalion could not be replenished through the traffic trenches, which made it impossible for the Chinese defenders in the second trench to stop the Japanese army from charging frantically.

In less than 15 minutes, the Japanese army launched a group charge with about 2500 people from two brigades. After dropping four or five hundred corpses, they finally occupied the second trench.But it was not enough to establish a solid beachhead, so the Japanese army launched an attack on the third trench after making some adjustments.

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 531 Annihilation in one fell swoop

The terrain finally began to gradually increase here. Behind the third trench, there was a group of bright and dark forts. Under the cover of Japanese naval artillery fire, most of them were destroyed, but seven or eight dark forts remained.Rushing to the barbed wire fence in front of the third trench, the Japanese soldiers in the front row consciously fell on the barbed wire fence as meat pads, even though many soldiers did not forget to fall on the barbed wire fence before they died.Numerous Japanese soldiers rushed through the barbed wire fence on their flesh pads, and the Chinese soldiers who had just emerged from the artillery holes in the trench opened fire one after another. The corpses of the Japanese soldiers quickly piled up a small wall near the barbed wire fence.The captain of the 25th Regiment of the Japanese Army knew very well that the last trench must be captured as soon as possible, and a beachhead with a greater depth should be established to open a passage for the second batch of landing Japanese troops to arrive an hour later.Holding a command knife, he personally led a small team to charge again.The Japanese army inspired by him also became more crazy, and they were about to rush into the trenches.

At this time, the machine guns in the bunker also roared, and the tongues of flame stared at the invading Japanese army like angry eyes. Seeing that the attack was blocked, the captain of the 25th regiment screamed angrily, and waved his command knife desperately. , ordered the soldiers to charge forward.Several bullets flying at high speed were nailing into the captain's chest and abdomen. The captain's strange screams stopped abruptly, and he fell to the ground like an empty sack. The Japanese soldiers behind stepped on his body and continued to charge forward.

At this time, the 11th and 12th Japanese fleets staying on the Yalu River, after receiving the order of fire support, immediately launched intensive shelling on the third trench and the bunker behind it. In 20 minutes of bombardment, 4000 shells were fired, and finally the remaining bunkers were completely destroyed, and most of the third trench was also destroyed. The artillery hole of the third battalion was also blown down, and all the officers and soldiers inside were killed.

After paying the price of the regiment leader and more than 25 soldiers, the [-]th Regiment finally occupied the third trench.The Chinese fortifications in Qianyang City were captured.

"What, the Japanese launched a surprise attack in Qianyang?" Zhang Zuolin stomped his feet angrily when he heard the news.

"Marshal, you don't have to worry too much. The Japanese are full of tricks. They sailed upstream from the Yalu River in battleships, looking for weak defense areas one by one. As you said, the defense line along the Yalu River is hundreds of miles away. Yao, it is impossible for us to arrange fortifications in every place. The Japanese landing is also expected. To wipe them out in one fell swoop, if we had crossed the river across the river rashly, we might have fallen into the trap of the Japanese." Yang Yuting calmly analyzed the war situation and won the approval of many generals present.

Zhang Zuolin also felt reasonable, and said, "How do you think this battle should be fought?"

Jiang Dengxuan, commander of the 2nd Army, and Yang Yuting are both officers who graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy. He also knows the Japanese style of play very well, so he stood up and said: "Commander, the Japanese troops who landed and fought are now relying on the cover of their two fleet formations. No matter how powerful the ground artillery is, it is not as powerful as the naval artillery. Their warships suppress and attack our army's coastal defenses on the river, and then the landing troops seize the fortifications. The key lies in the warships. After all, the Yalu River is not an ocean. , Naval battles will be impossible, not to mention that the Beiyang Fleet is beyond reach, and the best way to deal with Japanese warships right now is to bomb them by plane."

"Yes, yes, a good way, haha... what do you think?" Zhang Zuolin asked everyone with a smile, and the generals present all agreed.

Zhang Zuolin slapped the table and said: "Pass my order, urgently transfer the bombing formation of Dalian Air Force Base, and carry out the bombing mission in Anton!"

"Yes!"

At 5 o'clock in the morning, the 2st Brigade of the 21nd Division of the Japanese Army arrived at the Qianyang position. After a short rest, they immediately issued an order for the entire brigade to go to Anton.

The news quickly reached Zhang Zuolin's ears. The 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army was less than 27 miles away from the defense line of the 15th Division of Anton, and the number of Japanese troops and supplies landing in Qianyang continued to increase. If a brigade goes ashore, by then, there will be a reorganized division on the south side of Andong, and it will really take a lot of effort to wipe it out.He immediately ordered the 10th Division to go south immediately to block the 27st Brigade of the Japanese Army, and firmly pinned the 21nd Division of the Japanese Army to the south of Anton.

The 27th Division headed south immediately after receiving the order, but before a regiment of the forward troops arrived at the scheduled combat area, they were scouted by Japanese scouts.In the face of the Japanese large-caliber naval guns, the vanguard had no chance to fight back.

"Has the formation of planes taken off yet?" Zhang Zuolin asked Yang Yuting, staring at the lawsuit on his forehead.

"It has already taken off, and it may take some time to catch up."

"Mom, I have a scar. The cucumbers and vegetables will be cold by then. Now the combat requirements have changed. If we go all out and go to war, our hundreds of thousands of troops stationed on the west bank will not be able to pacify that little Japan." Zhang Zuolin has a fiery temper and hates the Japanese the most. When he heard that the Japanese army conquered several fortifications one after another, he was furious. Big casualties.

"Marshal, don't worry, the staff department has formulated a second plan based on the current situation. We will attract the Japanese army to the predetermined area north of Antoho, and then concentrate artillery to bomb it at a fixed point. If the aircraft formation can arrive at that time If that is the case, the targeted attack on the Japanese warships on the Yalu River at the same time will definitely wipe out the Japanese troops fighting across the river in one fell swoop."

Zhang Zuolin thought for a while, nodded, and said to Yang Yuting: "This is not bad, as expected of my old Zhang's chief of staff."

The weakness of the Northeast Army immediately made the Japanese army rampant. Ishii, the commander of the 4th Division, immediately let the 46th and 47th Wings who had been staying on the east bank of the Yalu River pass the pontoon bridge to further strengthen the frontal attack against the 27th Division.The fierce bombardment of the Japanese naval guns made the mortars of the 27th Division unable to use, and they could only use fortification machine guns to shoot at the Japanese attacking troops.

Since Anton is not an important coastal defense area, the coastal artillery force here is only equipped with three 3mm guns and one 130mm medium artillery. The formation suffered a lot from the shooting, and its position happened to be on the flank of the 1th Division's defense line, so that the 155st Brigade's attack could just include it in the attack range.Soon, the 11mm artillery turret was penetrated by a 12mm shell through the concrete wall on the top, and the huge explosion also showed that the ammunition of the turret was detonated.Of course, the Japanese fleet was also in a difficult situation. A cruiser was severely damaged, the turrets of the two front main guns were blown away, and a large hole was pierced on the left side of the hull. The hull tilted severely and had to withdraw from the battle with thick smoke. Just after sailing out of the mouth of the Yalu River, it sank south of Xindao.

At 5:4 in the afternoon, the 49th Wing of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army finally broke into the Andong area, and the 27th Division also received an order to withdraw from the defensive position. Zhang Jinghui, the commander of the [-]th Division, became anxious when he heard the order to withdraw troops, "What did the commander do? When we were beards, we smashed the kilns with small noses together. How can we be afraid of them now? It's really hard to understand. "

"Maybe the commander-in-chief has other arrangements. Since the headquarters has issued an order, we have no choice but to obey." The chief of staff persuaded.

Zhang Jinghui stomped his feet fiercely and let out a long sigh, "Hey! Order, withdraw troops!"

After the remaining gunners of the shore artillery force completely blasted the fort, they also retreated with the 27th Division, and the two regiments of the 27th Division also retreated slowly to the west.At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the two regiments of the 21st Brigade and the 4th Division of the Japanese Army finally joined forces in the north of Antou.Ishii was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the 2nd Division and 4th Division to gather the main force, replenish a large amount of ammunition and various equipment, and then attack the Northeast Army Command in the south of Andong.

就在日本人叫嚣：要以两个师团灭掉东北军全部的时候，东北军27、28师属炮兵团和第2独立炮兵旅已在安东外围展开，构筑好了炮兵阵地及机动阵地。两个师属炮兵团共有200门105毫米榴弹炮，而第2独立炮兵旅更是拥有50门105毫米榴弹炮、50门155毫米榴弹炮、50门130毫米加农炮，甚至还有5门双基推进剂式火箭炮！

At 7 o'clock that night, following the order of the Northeast Army Command, various types of artillery were fired together, and the ground in the entire Andong area was trembling violently. The main targets of the 155mm howitzers and 130mm cannons were the trenches and fortifications captured by the Japanese army. , the rocket launcher was used to wipe out the Japanese ground troops attacking from the front, and the other artillery pieces were responsible for concentrated strikes on the Japanese warships on the river.

The Japanese were stupefied at once, and Ishii yelled strangely: "What's going on, what's going on, what are the artillerymen behind!" At first he thought it was his division school who attacked by mistake. The target, but the news was sent by the communicator immediately, that it was a Chinese cannon, all surrounded by Chinese artillery, and the Japanese army was completely surrounded by artillery.

Ah!

"Organize the breakout quickly, no, disperse the troops first..." Ishii yelled frantically.

However, it was too late at this time. The artillery of the Northeast Army seemed to have eyes, and they fell on the heads of the Japanese. In addition, the Japanese were lax in their defense at first, and the formation was too concentrated. Bombed into meat sauce by rows of shells, the strength of the two divisions decreased rapidly and crazily, and the entire army was about to be wiped out.

"Immediately call for naval artillery fire support! Hurry up!" Ishii shouted, tugging at the signal soldier's ear.

The communication soldier grinned: "I don't know what happened to the communication device on the naval gun side, and I can't get in touch at all."

"What? Baga!" Ishii fell into complete despair, watching a shell fly across the sky towards his head...

boom!Ishii suddenly turned into a mass of scattered rotten meat!

Resurrection: World War II Chapter 532 Self-inflicted

At the same time, the roar of aircraft engines was faintly heard in the northwest sky, and two bomber formations from Fengtian and Dalian Air Force Bases rushed over.Originally, the Japanese warship stayed in the waters of the far east coast in order to avoid the ground artillery fire. After receiving the order from the Kwantung Army Command, it was planning to provide fire support to the besieged Japanese army. The high-explosive bombs in the sky were overwhelming. Come down.

The frigate Haifeng, which was located at the southernmost end of the main channel on the river, was the first to suffer. At the same time, it was bombed by more than a dozen bombs, and even incendiary bombs. The deck and cabin suddenly burst into flames.The strategic materials and ammunition piled up on the deck were detonated instantly, and the sound of explosions came one after another. In just 5 minutes, the warship and more than 400 Japanese officers and soldiers on board sank irretrievably in the river, and blocked the fleet. The south channel.

The rest of the warships were also hit and caught fire, but it was impossible to escape southward, so they could only watch the bombs on their heads fall like a storm.Since these warships are powered by steam engines, it takes at least half an hour to start them.

The anxious fleet commander even asked the tugboat to drag the wreckage of the Hayate downstream.But the plane discovered the motive of the Japanese army. A dozen bombers hovered in the air and rushed towards the towed Japanese flagship. The warship was immediately hit by dozens of bombs, and the tail turret was blown away. A 130mm armor-piercing projectile hit its conning tower again, and the fleet commander and captain were killed on the spot. Two minutes later, several armor-piercing projectiles pierced through its engine room, and the fire could no longer be extinguished. Finally, the ammunition depot was detonated, and the 2-ton warship broke into two pieces and quickly sank into the river.

Although it was night at this time, the raging gas fire on the river turned the sky of the Yalu River into daylight, and the Japanese warships sank one after another, and the Japanese soldiers on the deck were screaming and running around blindly. Collide.

The heavy bombing by the aircraft formation lasted for almost 10 minutes, and it was not until all the bombs were dropped that they began to return to the base.In just 10 minutes, the entire 11th and 12th Fleets were wiped out.

On the ground, all the artillery pieces of the 2nd and 4th Divisions of the Japanese Army were blown up, and the painstakingly built piers and pontoons were also completely destroyed. About 2 people from the 15000nd Division, who had just assembled to advance to the south of Andong, were killed in a battle. When the gun was fired, the casualties were exhausted, and even the division commander Ishii was killed.After annihilating the Japanese army, Zhang Zuolin immediately ordered the Northeast Army to move its artillery to the north. With an unprecedented artillery offensive, it covered several Japanese strongholds in Qianyang. The strength of the three regiments of the 4th Division stationed here, Most of them were lost, and the remaining troops tried to escape across the river, but were killed on the spot by soldiers of the Northeast Army rushing from behind.

After the news of the annihilation of the 2nd and 4th divisions, in the Kwantung Army headquarters in Pyongyang, Daisaku Kawamoto's eyes went dark and he fainted immediately.After being rescued by his subordinates for a long time, he was in a trance for a long time, and then he beat his chest and cried on the ground.Originally ambitious, he never imagined that the Kwantung Army, regarded as Japan's most elite force, would lose two divisions at once within a day or so of the beginning of the war. In just 10 minutes, all his two fleets sank. This result was unacceptable to the confident and proud Japanese soldiers, and he didn't even know how to convey this news to the emperor.Once this result spreads to Tokyo, it will definitely be laughed out of the mouth by the moderates in the cabinet, and the face of the Japanese soldiers will be completely humiliated by myself!

Finally, Hebei Dazuo gritted his teeth and issued an order: "The 5th Division left a regiment stationed in Shuozhou to prevent the Chinese army from crossing the river. The main force immediately went south and assembled towards Uiju; the 1st Division left Pyongyang and assembled towards Sinuiju; The 3rd and 7th Divisions assembled from Yongsan-ri and Xuanchuan to Sinuiju respectively; the 11th Division in Kibong-ri also entered the south of Sinuiju; the 6th Division in Chongjin immediately took a boat around the Korean Peninsula, Be sure to land in Anju before April 4; the 8th Division in Busan is also going to Anju by boat and must arrive before April 8; the 4th Division in Gwangju will set out for Guseong by rail. North Korea is required to The government sent North Korean soldiers in no less than five divisions to the Andong front."

Anton, after the big victory, Zhang Zuolin immediately held a military meeting.

Yang Yuting once again conveyed the combat plan of the staff department: "Our strategic thinking is not to rush to fight across the river, but to keep attracting Japanese troops to fight on the west bank. This method wiped out the enemy’s vital forces little by little. Therefore, the next plan is that after the main force of the Japanese army crosses the Yalu River, the armored forces will take the lead in re-entering North Korea, going straight to Shuozhou, and completely cutting off the Japanese army’s retreat and supply lines.”
