Chapter 104 Daybreak 3
The fourth regiment commander Pan Chengye struggled all night and didn't sleep for two hours. Last night at 8 o'clock, he brought the 7 and 8 two regiments to Wenguantun at 9 o'clock. This place was the first place of the Fuxing Army. The fortifications were complete, so he could go directly to check in. Not long after he arranged the alert to get into bed, he was woken up by a telegram. The large-scale attack of the Japanese army immediately made him sleepless. He immediately issued an order to gather the troops and prepare to take the troops out of the camp overnight, and detour the Japanese army behind him to attack at night. Just as he was leaving the camp, the headquarters came with another telegram: "The Second Division rebelled!"
This telegram made Pan Chengye gasp and repeatedly asked the translator to confirm it, and then he believed that this was true. The facts were so true. He immediately ordered the battalions of the Fourth Regiment to be on guard, and at the same time ordered the machine gun team and the mortar company to surround the 7th and 8th Regiment to prepare for the civil war. All arrangements were made. He then ordered the officers of the 7th and 8th Regiment to come to the command center to discuss matters, but the phone was called for a long time but no one came. Pan Chengye immediately felt something was wrong. At this time, there was another gunshot outside. He was suddenly shocked and asked: "Where to shoot? Where to shoot?"
The adjutant outside the tent ran over and said, "It's not our side, but Santaizi's side has exchanged fire with the Japanese army."
When Pan Chenge heard that it was on the side of Santaizi, he listened carefully and found that it was indeed the gunshots from Santaizi. While he was relieved, he was worried about the safety of the main force. Thinking of this, he said, "Why are the people from the Seventh Regiment and the Eighth Regiment still coming? Have you notified?"
"I've notified that their group of people are different from us. They should come after a while." The adjutant explained that he was very clear about the style of the Second Division. The headquarters wanted to rectify the situation before, but due to the interference of the Russian army and the busyness during the war, he had never done it.
After waiting for a few minutes, Dong Dahu, the leader of the 7th regiment, came to the command center with a few Chinese and Russian officers. Just as he was about to ask about the Eighth regiment, there were rapid gunfire outside. The gunfire was very close this time. When he heard that it was in the military camp, Pan Chengye's heart suddenly became shattered. His hand was already touching the gun holster. Dong Dahu and his other men were also shocked, but they turned their heads outside the house.
Seeing that Dong Dahu's expression was not like a fake, Pan Chenge thought that he had already arranged it outside, so he put down his hand on the gun, but he still wanted to give him a try. "Captain Dong, something happened to the main force, Commander Zhang asked us to surrender to the Japanese."
"Ah! Go to... Japanese?!" Dong Dahu looked like he was not awake, and there were still eye poops on his eyes. He was already very upset when he was called out in the middle of the night, but when he woke up, he guessed something big should have happened. So he reluctantly put on his clothes and came to the command center with several battalion commanders who had been waiting for him. He thought he was going to go out to fight the Japanese in the middle of the night, but who knew he wanted to join the Japanese in the end.
"Why did you join the Japanese? Haven't we been fighting Japanese Japanese all the time?" Dong Dahu didn't understand what Pan Chengye meant at all.
It would be fine if he didn't understand. Pan Chengye's nervous heart was relieved and gave a wink at the adjutant at the door. He signaled him to let the shotgunman outside the tent lift his first-level alert. Then he laughed and said, "I'm joking. However, Chief Dong doesn't know anything. The fifth and sixth regiments have already voted on the Japanese."
"Ah! What's going on?" Dong Dahu was completely confused. Captain Pan said he was joking before, but now he said that the 5th and 6th regiments have already voted for the Japanese. Where is this performance?
"Captain Dong, don't worry about what's going on. Now the Japanese attack on the large army are now at night. We will go to help later. However, it's hard to distinguish between enemies and friends now. I will still feel wronged by Brother Dong later." After Pan Chengye said that, several shotgunmen suddenly broke in outside, surrounding Dong Dahu and his group.
"Ai, brother. What's going on?!" He wanted to throw a Japanese man, beat the Japanese man, and then was pointed at by a hunting rifle. Dong Dahu and his wife were a little insane, and the Russian officers next to him also stood up and shouted something.
Pan Chenge didn't care so much, but said, "Captain Dong, brothers, it's hard to tell the enemy now. The 5th and 6th regiments have already run to the Japanese. I can't tell who is good or bad in the 7th and 8th regiments, so I can only feel wronged. But after dawn, the truth will be revealed. If you misunderstand me at that time, I'll be like you all apologize." After Pan Chenge said that, he said to the soldiers, "Everything is tied up and take it away."
After hearing that there was no worries about life, Dong Dahu and others were relieved. They thought their lives would be explained here. Since life is worry-free, they always have to ask for face. Several bearded men cursed in unison, "Pan, you dare to tie me up, I will fight for you even if I die..."
Pan Chenge felt very upset when he heard this, but after a while, all these beards pretending to be fierce were taken down. At this time, news came from the Eighth Regiment. Pan Chengo looked at the first battalion commander Lin Wenqian and said, "How is the Eighth Regiment?"
Lin Wenqian is from Ruian, Zhejiang, and Pan Chengye are both students of the special class of Nanyang Public School. They participated in the revolution because they were excited, but they did not dare to shoot when they arrived at the military academy. Then they fell seriously ill and almost died. Later, they were rescued by Yang Rui and the military doctor. After recovering from the illness, their temperament changed drastically and changed their previous weak appearance.
"Well, it's good to go on a fire. Those bastards are still taking Russian and Russians as treasures. I don't care about the lives and deaths of those Russians. I deserve it." The leader of the Eighth Regiment was bribed by the Japanese. He wanted to make trouble in the middle of the night, but because he was temporarily transferred to the civil servants' house, he broke the plan. Now he heard that the fire was exchanged from Santaizi, so he wanted to raise an uprising here. Who knew that the internal discussion was still surrounded by Lin Wenqian. They wanted to take Russian and Russians hostages, but Lin Wenqian never bought foreigners' accounts. He was one of the few students who opposed surrendering to Japan. He ordered the artillery to shoot and result in the rebels in the camp.
Pan Cheng'o looked at Lin Wenqian's indifferent look and was very funny, "You are still so anxious, but you can kill it so you can save trouble. When the Second Battalion rectifies the Seventh Regiment, we will set off."
"Don't bring the eighth group?"
"The Eighth Regiment cannot be led by the Eighth Regiment. If the officers below have any objections and there is a retaliation on the battlefield, then we will be miserable. Now we must strive to ensure that everything is safe. Dong Dahu of the Seventh Regiment has no problem, and it is probably useless to go below. This regiment can go, but they must let them attack first." Pan Chengye had a good idea of the plan long ago.
At 4:15, half of the battalion station was left and the Eighth Regiment was guarded. The two entire battalions and the Seventh Regiment were pulled out of the Fourth Regiment and the Seventh Regiment. Their goal was to attack the First Division of Santaizi from the north. Although the Wenguantun was northeast of Santaizi, it took fifteen or sixteen miles to go from here to the back of the Japanese army. However, it took less than an hour, so the entire army marched urgently. Needless to say, the Fourth Regiment was running slowly. The Seventh Regiment had been almost a year since joining the army. They had no worries about food and drink and raised them, so running was naturally no problem.
At 4:55, Pan Chengye's army finally walked around the north side of the Sitaizi behind the Japanese First Division, and just waited for the order to attack from the rear of the Japanese. Taking advantage of the gap before the attack, the troops re-formed. One of the troops in the Fourth Regiment led two soldiers from the Eighth Regiment, such as three people and one hundred groups. The two rows were separated by fifty meters, and the thirteen rows and three rows in the front were specially composed of the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment, a total of sixteen rows and four thousand and eight hundred people. In order to suppress the heavy firepower points that destroyed the Japanese army, machine gun mortars were also included. The entire assault force was nearly one kilometer wide and 800 meters deep. This was actually the Soviet Union's human wave tactics in World War II. Several times of concentration, dozens of times of force rapidly attacked the enemy's defensive positions. The endless wave charge would completely destroy its will to resist. Not to mention the current Japanese army, even the German army with many machine guns could do nothing about this.
Pan Chengye stood outside the tent and looked east. The strange darkness of the morning dissipated immediately, and replaced by the extremely brilliant morning glow. The clouds were very low, but they were dyed brightly red as blood by the morning sun. The bright red clouds covered the entire sky. The red was extremely evil and weird.
"The sky is different, and the morning glow is like blood. This is a bad omen!" Pan Chengye whispered, and his voice was so thin that he could not hear it.
"The regiment commander, the second and third regiments on the large army have entered the assault position. The headquarters ordered us to start the battle." As soon as the adjutant received the telegram, he hurriedly came from the account to report.
"How is the formation in the Eighth Regiment? How long will it take?" Not every soldier can become the leader of the trio. Many soldiers can charge and shoot accurately. It can count, but they are not very good at leading people. Some even speak very hard. Pan Cheng'e was able to quickly and quickly form the formation, just like when he was fighting the Fushun Coal Mine last year, but the actual situation is not the case. Operations are completely different from simple marching. There are many things involved. Moreover, the Soviet tactics basically do not pay attention to suddenness. The Russians are completely ruling hard and are not hidden at all.
"Captain, it's time for us. Our soldiers should read more." The documents of the adjutants in the army are basically the backbone members of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. They have never attended military academies, but most of them have studied. They usually teach soldiers to read and recognize knowledge, and they are adjutants of the Chinese military in wartime.
"Ten minutes! I'll wait ten minutes! After ten minutes, you must organize the team. I will withdraw my post if the troops are delayed." Time is victory. It's dawn. Pan Chengye could not predict when the Japanese army would find himself. Once he discovered that although his side could still attack the Japanese position and rushed to Santaizi, his side's casualties would increase greatly. In Pan Chengye's view, regardless of the Fourth Regiment or the Eighth Regiment, the soldiers were Chinese. He wanted to minimize casualties while achieving the combat goals. Besides, although these soldiers were not strong, they were obedient. They had been on the battlefield and had great courage. As long as they were training in the future, they would be a top-notch soldier.
The adjutant hurried away, but after a while, cavalry rushed over from outside the battalion. He ignored the obstruction of the soldiers outside the command center and pulled the horse to the ground. Instead, he rushed in. The soldiers around him immediately raised their guns and surrounded him. When the soldiers around him raised their guns toward each other, the people immediately raised their hands and shouted, "Owner! His own people!" In a blink of an eye, he saw Pan Chengye standing next to him, and said, "Captain Pan, I am Liu Dachun, the cavalry battalion, and the man from Battalion Xiang."
Liu Dachun? Xiang Xiang’s man? Pan Chenge seemed to have memorized it, signaled to remove the gun from left and right, and asked again: “What’s so urgent?”
"There are Japanese soldiers coming from Wutaizi, and there are many people."
"What?!"
"More...how many people are there?" The north of Santaizi is Sitaizi, and the north of Sitaizi is Wutaizi.
“There is at least one brigade.”
"grass!"
"Messenger...Messenger..." Pan Chengye quickly returned to peace in fear. This extra brigade made the fourth regiment unexpected assault impossible. The current plan is to draw up a blocking position and then quickly launch an assault on the Japanese First Division.
Pan Chengye made a decision quickly, but the Japanese army was moving faster. Before the messengers left the camp, gunshots came from the north. The guards arranged outside had already exchanged fire with the enemy vanguard. Listening to the increasingly dense gunshots, Pan Chengye felt that the possibility of raiding the First Division was gone. Once the main force attacked south, the Japanese army would chase and hit them.
"The previous order was invalidated. Now, the three commandos in the south are ordered to detour from the south to the north, and the other thirteen rear teams are transformed into front teams and attack north." Pan Cheng gritted his teeth and had to issue such an order, "Also, generate power to the headquarters to tell me the whole story of the change of the combat plan. The first division of Japan can only wait until it defeats the enemy."
Is it a brigade coming from Wutaizi? It was the Ninth Division. It had just fought hard at the big bend bridge before, but as the Russian army ordered the contraction of the front line. The Russian army also retreated. Otaro Genharo believed that the Russian army had been shaken on its entire line, and ordered the entire Third Army to attack the north of Fengtian and encircle the Russian army's retreat. Under such orders, the first, the Seventh Division attacked the independent army of Santaizi, and then wanted to occupy the two places of Wenguantun and Yulin Fortress, and control the main roads where the Russian army broke through to the north. The Ninth Division attacked the tigers further north.
Shitai Railway Station means occupying, and also restraining the Russian army there so that it cannot go south to rescue the Independence Army. Originally, the 9th Division had nothing to do with the First and Seventh Divisions, but in the previous night attack, the First Division suffered a great loss. So the General Staff of the Third Army ordered the 9th Division, the northernmost 9th Division to draw most of its troops to support the 1st Division south to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the Independence Army as soon as possible, while the remaining small troops still restrained the Tiger Shitai Russian Army, which was a coincidence that disrupted the Fourth Regiment's assault on the First Division.
The sudden close contact between the enemy and our army was very panicked. The soldiers of the Third Battalion and the First Company, who were in charge of the guard, saw the large number of Japanese troops emerging from Wutaizi. While firing guns to warn, they seized favorable terrain to block the Japanese army's advance. There were flat ground around Fengtian. There were few mountains, so the first company had to seize a pile of graves and block the Japanese army with graves of all sizes. While the first company blocked the enemy on the spot, the vanguard of the Ninth Division was also shocked by the sudden appearance of the enemy. In the concept of the Japanese army, the Independence Army was surrounded by Santaizi, while the other enemy troops there were at Hushitai Railway Station and the east side of the Dongqing Railway. The Fourth Regiment rashly appeared between Sitaizi and Wutaizi, which surprised the division's staff.
"What unit is this?" Division Chief Haruki Inoguchi asked the officer of the Seventh Regiment who came to report the enemy situation. The General Staff did not understand the Japanese army that emerged there.
"I don't know, but it seems that it's not Runner-up Lucy, but a Qing Dynasty native?"
"A native of Qing?"
"Yes, it's true that the Qing people are from the country. The number of people is about 5,000." The Fourth Regiment's headquarters is outside Zhuangzi, with no obstruction on the plain, and the number of people is clearly seen by the Japanese army in the distance.
"Five thousand people? Saoga..."
"It should be the remnants of the Independent Army. They departed from the east from the middle of the night to the rear of the First Division, probably preparing to assault the First Division." Without the support of intelligence, the Japanese staff had no idea. Although it was not completely correct, their strategic intentions were right. The enemy's intentions were clear, so they had to destroy it. The principle was established, and the entire Ninth Division mobilized to defeat the enemy in front of them.
While the Ninth Division was pressing the entire line, the 4th Regiment had already completed its difficult team formation and steering. The two sudden encounters will fight an attack-to-attack battle on the plain. Whether it is a victory or a loss depends on who is more brave.
Following the team leader sent by the First Division, Dong Xiaoer, the big-headed soldier of the Seventh Regiment, was confused. He didn't understand why so many people lined up in such a tight formation, which was different from what Big Nose taught before, but the squad leader's lecture made him clear after a while. They all had to scatter when they rushed later. He and another 8th Regiment soldier were scattered between the two team leaders in front and back. The four people were just a small diamond formation. He just stared at the team leader in front. He would do whatever the team leader did. It was clear that it was clear. However, the last sentence of the squad leader shocked him. The squad leader finally said: "If anyone doesn't rush or dares to retreat, then the bayonet of the team leader behind him will come up." Dong Xiaoer's whole body was cold, and he turned to look at the team leader's white shrewd bayonet behind him, and he felt indescribable.
Listening to the sound of cannons in front, the entire square formation began to move forward in a hurry, passing a undulating cemetery. The entire square formation ran quickly under the guidance of the assault line in front. Some people were constantly shot and fell down, and some people were constantly blown away by the shells. Dong Xiaoer ignored everything, but just followed the team leader in front and ran forward as the squad leader said before. He was worried that once he stopped, the bayonet of the team leader behind would come over. He didn't want to die, especially if he didn't want to be stabbed to death by the bayonet.
The battle formation of the fourth regiment suddenly turned to the Japanese army to the north, and the Japanese army also rushed towards the fourth regiment with bayonets shouting. However, compared with the fourth regiments in the sixteen rows, their queues were relatively wide, so their thickness was relatively thin. After being bombarded by machine guns, shotguns, and grenades, they encountered the seemingly endless human waves of the fourth regiment, and the Japanese army on the front of the square formation was completely swallowed by the fourth regiment.
Chapter completed!
