249. Chapter 249 Japanese Army Yangcun Li Jiapo Decisive Battle Strategy(2/2)
Especially in the North China region, the North China Front launched a cage policy.
The riflemen and submachine gunners advanced rapidly, and no troops could stop their progress.
This means that their troops are tenacious in fighting and have strong cohesion.
They are currently equipped with Type 91 light machine guns, MP34 submachine guns, Type 38 rifles, and Type 97 sniper rifles.
The large-scale raid launched by the Eighth Route Army brought heavy losses to the Japanese army in North China.
Looking at the corpses of the Eighth Route Army troops on the ground, Yanashita Shigeharu sneered.
In the Japanese army, the top six graduates of each term from the Army University will receive sabers from the little devil Tianhuang Yu. This is the origin of the saber group in the Japanese army.
At half past six, the seventh battalion was almost surrounded.
At around six o'clock, more than a thousand Japanese troops began to attack from the north.
The First Army Headquarters also had the idea of integrating the puppet troops in Jin Province so that they could fully assist the Japanese army in combat.
Many puppet troops were arranged in the gun towers of a large number of strongholds to assist in defense.
If Yangcun is lost and the Japanese army takes control of it, it will be like a sharp knife directly in front of the Jinsui Army.
Here in Jin Province, starting from the battle of Cangyunling, the First Army suffered heavy casualties one after another.
He was preparing to command the special agent team to immediately launch a combat attack on the independent regiment and the new second regiment command organization.
So far, the 48th Independent Brigade has successively achieved results, and its overall combat effectiveness is very strong.
Up to now, the weapons of the Yamamoto Special Agent Team are very strong, and the overall combat effectiveness has been improved a lot.
"All ministries will immediately rest and recuperate, and at three o'clock in the morning, they will advance directly to the Yangcun area!"
The MG13 machine gun is a German-made weapon and the earliest general-purpose machine gun.
Subsequently, the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade suffered two devastating blows, and the puppet reinforcements stationed in Mongolia for more than 8,000 days were completely annihilated.
The First Army and the North China Front Army each dispatched more than 10,000 troops and rushed to the rescue in an attempt to completely annihilate the Eighth Route Army here.
The focus of their operations was to encircle and annihilate the Eighth Route Army, thereby winning the Lijiapo battle.
Its participating troops included the 6th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Japanese Army, and the 9th and 10th Infantry Brigades of the Japanese Army.
The little devil naturally wanted to use intimidation to make the people give up supporting the Eighth Route Army and other troops in fighting.
The Japanese and puppet troops were resting on the spot, and the corpses of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment left on the position began to be hung directly from the highest point by the Imperial Alliance Army.
Major General Koshiki Toranosuke, commander of the independent ninth independent mixed brigade, is responsible for commanding the operations of these two detachments.
Kojima Shinxing, who fought in Lancheng, was also appointed to the Kojima Detachment.
After joining the Chief's Department, Yan Laoxi continued to arrange them here for a simple purpose.
Among them, the 60MM mortar and the MG13 machine gun were weapons found in the Japanese army's trophy warehouse.
"Tubal Road does not have any combat effectiveness. The Sixth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army served as the main force. With the cooperation of the Imperial Army, the position was easily captured."
So they vigorously supported the puppet army, and they organized various types of puppet armies such as the Appeasement Army, the Security Army, the Imperial Association Army, and the Peace Army.
The 60MM mortar is very light, has a maximum range of more than one thousand meters, and has strong suppression capabilities.
Of course, by doing this, the First Army Headquarters also intended to set an example to inspire all puppet troops.
When he was at Army University, he graduated first.
Yanage Shigeharu began to issue orders. He wanted to personally ask for credit from Huang Daofeng.
Huang Daofeng was directly promoted to lieutenant general of the Imperial Army because of his meritorious service in commanding the troops.
Takeshita Ryuzo has outstanding abilities. In just a few months, he has already served as the head of the first class. His future is limitless.
At the same time, there were also a series of rewards, which were given directly to Huang Daofeng and the Sixth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army.
This time he went to command the 36th Independent Infantry Brigade, and it was Yoshio Shinozuka who created the opportunity for him.
The two men immediately issued a retreat order, knowing that if they continued to fight, their entire army would be annihilated.
At present, they have more than a thousand troops, including four infantry squadrons, a machine gun squadron, and a reinforced artillery squadron.
Type 91 light machine guns and MG13 general machine guns launched fire strikes.
The sixth and seventh mixed brigades of the Imperial Association Army organized by the Japanese this time were all puppet troops drawn from various places.
The two regiments suffered certain losses, and it was not until ten o'clock in the evening that they left the battlefield.
The best way now is to temporarily abandon the position and move quickly.
The total casualties of the two regiments are about 600, and the current combat strength is only 3,500.
As for the 7th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army, it is commanded by Xu Chengpu and is responsible for the defense of Xin County.
Even the New Second Regiment that followed up the battle suffered more than 100 casualties.
The troops from both sides fought fiercely, and deafening gunfire continued.
Starting at seven o'clock, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment coordinated with each other and quickly evacuated the battlefield.
The Guard Communications Battalion, Field Artillery Battalion, and Machine Gun Battalion directly under the brigade headquarters, as well as the 12th Reserve Regiment under them, quickly advanced towards the Yangcun area.
After communicating with the North China Front Army Headquarters, they issued a series of combat orders.
At the same time, they also deepened the hatred between the Imperial Army and these troops, thereby making these puppet troops loyal to them.
Up to now, the First Army has also made a series of adjustments. They are preparing to deploy troops and launch operations on two fronts.
Kojima Nobuki commanded the Japanese and puppet troops in Lancheng to conduct on-site defense and try their best to contain the 358th Regiment.
In this battle, the independent regiment suffered considerable losses, with more than 400 casualties.
If this place is controlled by Japanese troops, the connection between the north and south of the Eighth Route Army may be cut off.
At the same time, they are also equipped with grenade launchers, 60MM mortars, MG13 machine guns and other weapons.
Yanashita Shigeharu personally came to the highlands to check the situation. He was very satisfied with the performance of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Major General Yanashita Shigeharu, commander of the Independent Mixed Third Brigade, is in charge of the command. His mission is to severely damage or annihilate the Eighth Route Army and Shanxi-Sui Army troops in the Yangcun area.
The 48th Independent Brigade in the Yangcun area went south to fight, but they were defeated and repelled one after another in Lancheng, and did not achieve the expected results.
But they didn't get any orders, but this time they cooperated, but they had orders.
Three major generals, Katayama Shoutaro, Harada Kenzo, and Tsuda Mitake, were killed one after another.
This reinforced artillery squadron has two infantry guns, two Type 41 mountain guns, and two rapid-fire guns.
"At the same time, contact the military headquarters and report the situation here in detail."
The First Army gave up operational command of Lijiapo, and they were responsible for operations in the Yangcun area.
Therefore, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment must stick to the Yangcun area.
It can take a twenty-five-round magazine and a seventy-five-round drum, and can freely change between light and heavy machine gun status.
Huang Daofeng had meritorious service in battle, and the First Army planned to use him to set an example.
At half past eleven, the commander's headquarters also issued a combat order.
At 12:15 midnight on November 6, after repeated discussions at the First Army Headquarters.
He asked Chu Yunfei to ensure the security of the Yangcun area. If necessary, the main force of the Independent 48th Brigade could be fully committed to the Yangcun area.
Then he came to serve in the First Army. Not long ago, Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi of the First Army was dismissed.
The reinforced 36th Independent Infantry Brigade, which was on standby in Yangqu, quickly advanced towards Lancheng.
As Takeshita Ryuzo arrived at this unit, this unit of more than 2,000 people, composed of many troops, was also appointed as the Takeshita Detachment.
At twelve o'clock at midnight, Fang Ligong, chief of staff of the 48th Independent Brigade, went to the Yangcun area and met directly with Ding Wei and Kong Jie.
The 48th Independent Brigade still has the mission to go south to capture Lancheng. They must not let the little Japs affect the battle here.
These six artillery pieces launched a bombardment, which put greater pressure on the 7th Battalion of the Independent Regiment, which made them worse.
Takeshita Ryuzo is not a simple person. He graduated from Army University in the 52nd class at the end of 1939.
However, facing the Yamamoto special forces, within a few minutes, the infantry company suffered dozens of casualties.
Several squadrons organized into thousands of troops can also be called detachments.
During the Taiyuan battle in 1937, the Japanese army dispatched a corps-organized dike detachment with only two infantry squadrons, reinforced by a machine gun squadron, an armored vehicle squadron, and an infantry artillery squadron. The total strength was only about a thousand people.
After the First Army Headquarters issued the order, the two brigade commanders, Major Generals Shigeharu Yanashita and Toranosuke Koshiki, quickly contacted their subordinate units.
For a time, the Japanese and puppet troops began to mobilize large-scale operations.
