.Chapter 409 Array Defense (Part 2)

Gao Pinbiao never thought that a city's defense would become more solid and unbreakable after breaking the city. This has subverted his basic understanding of war. On the Chinese battlefield, Gao Pinbiao has also participated in many major wars.

The tall and sturdy city walls built in the Ming Dynasty in China made many battles very difficult.

However, once the city wall was broken through, the battle became simple for the Japanese army. Charge, charge, and then charge. The 27th Brigade finally broke through the urban defense system of Suihua. When the Japanese plaster flag was raised at the top of Suihua, Gao Pinbiao was once full of confidence and believed that the battle would last for up to two hours.

But the result surprised him, and Suihua, which uses the streets as its defense system, became stronger.

Before this, when he heard such words, his first reaction was definitely to be the other party to spend time on himself.

But all this in front of him forced him to feel a sudden shock.

The opponent must have deliberately given up the city wall defense and used the entire Suihua city as the focus of defense. This layout also prevented the heavy artillery in the hands of the 27th Brigade from playing an important tactical role. As the battle deepened, Gao Pinbiao gradually understood a truth. Suihua had become a cemetery for massacre. Even if the heavy artillery could be used, it would not be able to level the entire Suihua.

The Japanese army attacked for 6 hours. Not only did there be no sign of occupation of Suihua, but the Japanese army attacked kept falling on the streets and alleys. The streets of Suihua were covered with bloodstains. The battles were all over the place, making the Japanese army overwhelmed. Turning around a corner, a battle might occur. Bayonets, grenades, and grenades were the most important weapons of destruction on the battlefield.

On the contrary, the pistol, which has been criticized in the Japanese army, played a huge role.

It caused great casualties to the 22nd Regiment.

The number of people is superior, and the equipment and firepower is absolutely superior, but he has never been able to take the initiative on the battlefield. This makes Gao Pinbiao very troubled. If the 27th Brigade continues to consume like this, it will take less than three days for the casualties of the troops to be allowed to give a retreat order.

"General, please allow my request."

"Kun Tanimura, do you still insist on launching an attack at night? But you have to understand that the battle in Suihua has its own special features, Biao nodded with gratitude, and the morale of the soldiers and officers was not affected by the adverse situation.

This is an important factor in ensuring final victory.

"Yes, general, we have an absolute advantage in the overall strength of the total force. Even my brigade will not suffer too much in terms of strength. The only advantage of the opponent is that they have built a large number of defensive castles in Suihua City, and we know nothing about it, so night is our most favorable disguise." Kozuka Tanimura firmly believed that night battles were the only way to win.

"Our opponent is a cunning fox. Your mission is to force this cunning guy out of his hiding place at night, and the brigade will cooperate with you."

"Yes, General."

Before Gao Pinbiao gave the map, the map was drawn by the combat staff in the brigade in the shortest time. However, many areas on the map have changed due to battles. However, the function of the map is still very obvious.

Although the 27th Brigade occupied a large area in Suihua City, many areas were fragmented, as if the opponent was intentional.

"General, my offensive focus will be on the southeast of the city. Judging from the daytime attack, if the opponent's troops want to defend at close range, they can only focus on defense at a few points and cannot connect the entire south of the city. I think this is our opportunity. Use the blasting hand to continuously blast the firepower points found during the day. In addition, I am also planning to organize an excavation team to dig its tunnel, and then use gas bombs to suffocate them like mice in the cave. Before dawn, solve the battle." Major Tanimura said almost gritted his teeth. Although his brigade did not encounter an unprecedented ambush as soon as he entered Suihua, he was wiped out in a very short time.

But more than 400 people were still injured and killed in the daytime battle. Such a large casualty almost never happened after the establishment of the Gu Village Brigade.

Gao Pinbiao was silent. It was the most important thing for him to preserve the maximum combat capability, but if he could not conquer Suihua, it would be very difficult to get in touch with Bei'an and Melgen.

"General, I think there is at least one thing that the brigade hopes for at least one thing." The chief of staff who helped Tanimura speak was Miyazaki. The two couldn't have a relationship, Tanimura stood in his own position, but Miyazaki was considering the future of the brigade.

"Oh! Miyazaki-kun, have you discovered something too?"

"No, general. I have already set off in Suihua*'s reinforcements and can even reach the battlefield within a few days. From Zeng Yiyang's xing pattern, he is not a person who likes to win with surprises. Many times, winning with surprises is mostly caused by insufficient troops." Miyazaki held up the black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued: "These are all obtained from the information of the Battle of Baoding. Zeng Yiyang also used strong attacks to siege the main force of the 108th Division when he was free of worries. At that time, he used almost all the forces of the Northeast Army in North China, Sichuan Army, some Central Army, etc., and the total force once reached 350,000."

Ten times around.

It can be seen that Zeng Yiyang would never use any risky tactics during this tradition.

"This?" Gao Pinbiao hesitated for a moment, thinking that this is indeed the case.

The reconnaissance units in the rear can be able to reconnaissance within a range of up to one day. It is already very difficult for the 27th Brigade to go further.

Gao Pinbiao was also very worried that the retreat would be scattered by the troops arranged by Zeng Yiyang, or the reinforcements arrived from the east of Suihua, making Suihua a focus battle. However, the battle process turned into a war of attrition.

In terms of time, the division commander will definitely not be able to wait. Once the 27th Brigade is in Suihua, it will become a war of attrition. It indicates that Kita Seiichi's command in the entire battle will be unsuccessful. In particular, once Suihua restrains the main force of the 14th Division, then Zeng Yiyang will take a gamble on the northern front battlefield, whether it is targeting the 8th Division or the 12th Division, I believe that the result of the battle will definitely not be the result that Kita Seiichi can accept.

"Okay! Grandpa Tanimura, I agree with your combat requirements. In addition, I will draw two squadrons from the brigade headquarters to replenish your brigade. Your task is very simple, disrupting the original defense line in the east of the city, and cutting off the interconnection of the two wing firepower groups."

"Yes, I will definitely live up to your expectations of General."

"Go!"

Compared with Gao Pinbiao, although the losses were huge, the operations of the 27th Brigade were not disrupted. The attacking troops would not be lost and there would be signs of insufficient strength.

But Gu Jingsheng's life was not so easy.

In defense, the 22nd Regiment paid great attention to the configuration of firepower, but even so, the 22nd Regiment could not obtain absolute initiative on the battlefield due to the insufficient number of machine guns. He could only place some positions to the Japanese army and hold several fortification groups that were focused on reinforcement and construction in his hands.

In the command center of the underground tunnel of the 22nd Regiment, Gu Jingsheng had just come from the battlefield.

The close position made both China and Japan extremely cautious. They were afraid that they would be passive after being seized by their opponents.

The sky gradually darkened, and the day's battle finally came to an end.

But Gu Jingsheng didn't dare to let go. It had been three years since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War. The Japanese army's paths were no longer fresh for people. Infantry and artillery were coordinated, the cannons were finished and the infantry rushed; the infantry could not rush down, so the cannons continued to rush. There was no sense of mystery at all, and the Japanese army's sneak attacks at night were also very common in combat, which was a traditional tactic.

It was getting dark, and even gunfire was not heard on the battlefield for a long time.

The Japanese army wanted to use the gap between battles to mihuo their opponents. Isn’t that the same for Gu Jingsheng’s 22nd Regiment?

"Import the 1st battalion commander to come for the meeting immediately."

"Captain, are you?"

Political Commissar Xu Zulong asked worriedly. He had just gone to count the supplies and went to the logistics hospital to see the wounded. The morale of the troops was good and was not scared by the Japanese artillery fire. For a unit that still needs to be tested for combat effectiveness, this is already very rare.

However, the logistics losses were a lot. First, a granary collapsed, and nearly 10,000 kilograms of grain were buried underground. The soldiers needed to rescue them overnight, and the ammunition was consumed relatively severely. In particular, the consumption of machine gun bullets reached an astonishing number.

"Political Commissar, do you have something to say?" Gu Jingsheng took a few sips of water and glanced at the political commissar Xu Zulong.

"The ammunition is consumed a lot. According to the consumption today, the ammunition will be consumed in two days." Xu Zulong said frankly.

“This will solve it.”

"Solved? How to solve it?" Xu Zulong said in surprise: "We are fighting a blocking war, but not an ambush in guerrilla warfare, and we cannot get enough supplements from the battlefield. If we hadn't ambushed a Japanese brigade and seized a lot of guns and ammunition, it would have been very difficult for two days."

"Don't you think the Japanese army's consumption is also very powerful?"

"We are fighting alone, and the Japanese logistics forces can continuously bring them enough supplies. This is an indisputable fact."

"You mean?"

"That's right, the 2nd Division. The Japanese brigade's supply convoy will not be small. I don't believe that Commander Zheng can watch such a fat sheep walking by in front of him without the urge to start."

Xu Zulong hesitated for a moment and then asked: "But isn't the 2nd Division going to hide its whereabouts? If it sneaks into the Japanese logistics convoy, wouldn't it be too early to rush to the whereabouts?"

"The ambush is the ambush, but the location of the ambush can be advanced or even postponed. This not only can mihuo the Japanese army very well, but it can also help the Japanese army. Why not do it? Besides, the Japanese army would not be unaware of Mr. Zeng's number of troops behind him, but the number of troops and the organization of the Japanese army were not very clear. Therefore, this is also a good opportunity for the Japanese army." Gu Jingsheng talked happily, as if it was not Zeng Yiyang who was commanding the entire southern front to fight, but he, the small regiment commander.

At this time, the guard came over and reported: "The 1st Battalion Commander is here."

"I'm ready to have a meeting right away and study the nighttime anti-raid battle."
