Chapter 63: The End of the Division 3
Wang Chun waited here for nearly a week, and the old Japanese soldier Shigeharu Suematsu finally stepped into the trap they had set up in advance.
"Order Zhao Zhiqiang to have their guerrillas pretend to be defeated by the Japanese and clear the way ahead. As long as they enter Luya Mountain, they will be unable to escape even if they have wings!"
Chief of Staff Wang Chun and Shen Mengdan stared at the staff officers working on the map on the table.
They are now waiting for the 114th Division to enter the red circle marked on the map. Luya Mountain is only kilometers away from the Censhan Base.
Now defending near Luya Mountain are Zhao Zhiqiang and Zhang Biao's 1st and 3rd Divisions, with four garrison regiments as reserve forces.
Li Yi's Second Division had already been lurking around the Japanese. As soon as the front line took action, they would quickly penetrate into the rear of the 114th Division and block the Japanese's retreat.
The real main force of the attack was the armored vehicle brigade's 36 T34-75s, 30 Type tanks and the vehicle-mounted mechanized infantry following behind them.
They prepared a tight net for the 114th Division, waiting for them to fall in, but the old man Shigeharu Suematsu was very cautious.
After nearly ten days of procrastination, they finally started to move towards Cen Mountain and were now almost entering the Luya Mountain defense line.
Colonel Kotaro Inuiba, commander of the 102nd Infantry Regiment, received a report from the forward reconnaissance team that Chinese defensive positions had been discovered ahead.
"Yoshi! These rats have finally stopped hiding! Great, let them feel the courage of the Empire's warriors!"
A long-lost smile finally appeared on Inuiye Kotaro's face. These Chinese guerrillas were as slippery as loaches and kept harassing the Locust Army soldiers.
Fortunately, our side broke through here, and the Chinese had no choice but to come up and block us. They had to show up, because beyond Luya Mountain is their lair!
"Launch the attack immediately! We need to attack quickly and directly to the Chinese's lair!"
"Boom boom boom" the Japanese's 70mm 92 infantry guns and Type 75 78mm field guns continuously fired shells at the distant th Army positions.
The shells kicked up huge clouds of dirt and tree fragments in the wooded area where the 11th Brigade of the st Division was stationed.
The Japanese artillery may seem powerful, but in fact the actual killing effect is not great. The positions and fortifications here are all reinforced concrete structures.
They just added some locally sourced logs and soil to the outside for camouflage.
At the same time, the artillery units did not immediately counterattack the Japanese artillery positions, as they were afraid that they would hit too hard and scare the Japanese away.
After all, the main force of the Japanese 114th Division has not yet fully entered the prepared pocket.
This is a battlefield specially arranged for them. Unlike other parts of the forest area which are densely forested, this place is a relatively open area.
Looking at the Chinese defensive position, thick smoke and balls of fire from explosions illuminated the already dim forest area.
"Yoshi! After the shelling stops, immediately have the Bankou Battalion launch an attack! I need to take this passage before it gets completely dark!"
.....
Artillery fire was still exploding continuously on the battlefield. At this moment, the soldiers hiding in the concrete fortifications could hear the loud noises coming from above their heads.
"Damn you little bastards! You can be so arrogant for a while! You'll cry tomorrow morning!"
Qian Wei could only speak harshly now, and the commander strictly ordered the front line not to scare away the Japanese army.
They can only counterattack passively, and artillery with a caliber larger than 75 mm cannot be deployed.
Just as the 102nd Regiment launched the attack, the main force of the 10th Division, about 114 miles behind them, naturally also heard the rumbling artillery sounds coming from the front.
"Your Excellency, the Division Commander! We still need to continue to move forward for another 5 miles. The 102nd Regiment reported that they have a large open area with a radius of two kilometers, which is very suitable for the army to camp!"
Chief of Staff Colonel Saburo Isoda was reporting to Shigeharu Suematsu on the telegram sent by the 102nd Regiment and the battle situation there.
Shigeharu Suematsu looked around and at the dimming environment, and realized that it would be troublesome to camp in this dense forest. Since there was a natural open space ahead, he decided to camp there!
The marching speed of the main force of the 114th Division immediately increased again. They needed to reach the camp built in advance by the 102nd Regiment to rest before it was completely dark.
"Kill them!" Itakuchi Takashi swung the command knife in his hand and swung it hard at the Chinese position in front of him that had already been in tatters.
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers behind him began to advance rapidly towards the Chinese positions not far away.
Most of the artillery fire had stopped, only some grenade launchers and mortars were still bombing some suspicious targets.
"Everyone, hold back your weapons. Only the heavy machine guns in the bunker are allowed to fire. No other guns are allowed to fire without orders!"
Qian Wei issued orders to the soldiers on the front line via a walkie-talkie.
Just when the Japanese came to a distance of about 400 meters from the front line, the Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns in the three machine gun bunkers began to spray meteor showers.
The brilliant colors emitted by the tracer bullets were so eye-catching in the already dim woods.
"Da da da!" Three lines of bullets formed by heavy machine guns lashed the attacking Japanese troops like whips.
At once, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell on the front line without having time to react. After hearing the familiar gunshots, some other Japanese soldiers immediately lay down on the spot, or hid and looked for shelter to avoid the bullets.
"Baga! The Chinese have hidden heavy firepower points! Blow them up!"
Banben naturally saw the three clear tongues of fire from behind, which continuously sprayed a rain of bullets at his warriors.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The Japanese grenade launchers began to fire grenades at the Chinese heavy machine gun position 600 meters away.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Grenades continued to fall on the three heavy machine gun positions, splashing up orange-red fireworks.
"Da da da!" The sound of machine guns only stopped for a while, and when the Japanese infantry stood up and continued to charge, they began to spray bullets at the Japs again.
This time the Japanese were caught off guard. All the Japanese soldiers thought that the three heavy machine gun positions should have been destroyed by the grenade launchers.
But who would have thought that they would continue to ring after stopping for more than ten seconds.
"Damn it! This is the Chinese's sturdy machine gun bunker!" Banmoto also saw it.
These three heavy machine gun positions are obviously permanent machine gun bunkers built by the Chinese.
Ordinary mortars and grenade launchers have no effect on them, unless they are heavy artillery with a caliber of 75 mm or above, a direct hit will probably be enough to destroy them.
The suppression from the three heavy machine guns was not enough to force the Japanese attacking force to retreat, but it only caused heavy casualties on the road ahead.
Watching the Japanese soldiers charging under the hail of bullets from heavy machine guns, it was basically impossible to keep their bodies intact if they were hit by heavy machine gun bullets.
For a moment, the entire Japanese army was in a bloody storm, and dozens of devil soldiers were hit by heavy machine gun bullets.
Everything was in pieces, with broken limbs and arms mixed with broken organs scattered all over the ground, but no Japanese soldier retreated. They continued to charge forward with their bodies bent and their Type 38 rifles in their hands.
It was basically impossible to see clearly the distance of 200 meters ahead from the entire position, and only the occasional explosions could illuminate some outlines.
"Da da da da!" When the Japanese army approached within 200 meters, the light machine guns on the position also began to join the battle.
At the same time, the artillerymen, who had been silent all this time, began to intermittently fire shells at the Japanese assault troops with their 81mm mortars.
"Boom boom boom" more than a dozen mortar shells exploded in the crowd of Japanese soldiers charging. In an instant, thirty or forty Japanese soldiers fell down, and light machine gun bullets were rampant.
This forced the charging Japanese soldiers to lie prone on the ground again. It was impossible for them to break into the heavily guarded position under such firepower.
Looking at the front battlefield illuminated by artillery fire, Lieutenant Colonel Itamoto could only sigh helplessly.
"Stop the attack! Everyone, withdraw! Wait until the artillery regiment of the Tianming Division arrives tomorrow, and let these damned Chinese feel the power of heavy artillery!"
