Chapter 403 Good Luck

(... Many Japanese troops are also composed of new recruits. If they can make full use of their weaknesses that lack practical experience, it is not difficult to annihilate Japanese in a battle; our army discovered this in several great victories, and later we also knew how to deal with their new recruits... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

Wang Yuying, the commander of the 198th Division, is a powerful general, and Luo Shujia of the 199th Division is a stubborn leader! Although his troops were not particularly outstanding in previous tactical exercises, the 199th Division in the 26th Army was a famous nail army. Generally, when provoking the Japanese to practice tactics, everyone would be very relieved if they knew that the brothers of the 199th Division were responsible for breaking the rear or tactical blocking the 199th Division were responsible for tactical attacks.

The temper of the army is the temper of the highest commander. Luo Shujia is not necessarily very smart, but because of his tough temper, he has a very average relationship with many colleagues, but he is so hard, and his troops are so hard!

The 22nd Japanese Division, which came from Wuwei, was the first enemy to hit hard nails. After they fought with the 48th Division, they formed a formation but found that their opponent had slipped away. At the beginning, the Japanese who were cautious were always suspicious after several such "fights". When they received the air force reconnaissance report, the enemy had escaped Luo Changhe. After the division commander Lieutenant General Tuqiao was furious: Such a garbage force was sent to the front and was actually run away by him because of his excessive caution!

The tirring Japanese soldiers of the 22nd Division were no longer willing to do anything step by step. They relied on their high degree of mechanization and marched crazily to chase after them. The one at the forefront was the cavalry unit of the search team of the 22nd Division. (The direct search team of the division is the exclusive organization of the Third Regiment Security Division, mainly composed of horse soldiers and infantry, equipped with light artillery. Some will be equipped with light armored vehicles or even two or three light tanks to make up for the emergent needs of the division without tank troops.)

"Report! The enemy appears, all of them are horse soldiers..." The communication soldier on the other end of the phone was a little too excited, and even he thought this was a great opportunity to annihilate the enemy!

What! The Japanese really don’t take me seriously!? Luo Shujia, who had just arrived at the forefront position, couldn’t believe that the information was true after getting the information: more than a thousand Japanese cavalry did not crash into his own position according to the search requirements of the infantry Caodian!

Everything has a reason, which is a coincidence that this situation is caused. First of all, this is related to Luo Shujia himself. Although he has a strong temper, he has always been meticulous in the execution of the orders on the peak, and he is even more enthusiastic about some of the practices he recognizes. In the past, when he implemented the "three-point military and seven-point political" law of Chiang Kai-shek's chief adviser Yang Yongtai, he worked very hard when he collapsed the Communist Party in Leiyang and basically wiped out the Communist Party in Leiyang. This is one of the reasons why a tough-tempered person was able to rise step by step.

After Cao Xiaomin's tactics were sent to the 199th Division, Luo Shujia thought it was of great benefit after reading it himself, so he meticulously followed Cao Xiaomin's military strategy theory, and even found all the small tactic application manuals written by Cao Xiaomin and asked the entire army to train accordingly.

The 199th Division usually conquers the front defense, and breaks the two flanks forward a lot, naturally forming a clamp-shaped semi-encirclement against the enemy. Usually, such a formation is mainly to attract the enemy to attack the two flanks first, with the purpose of making the enemy deviate from the main attack line, and never thought that the enemy would crash into it by itself.

However, the 22nd Japanese Division I encountered this time was another coincidence: the 22nd Division was a new army that was established this year, and it was China that arrived in mid-July. It was originally responsible for security tasks in the Wuwei area. This time, because the crisis of the Third Division was urgently called to gather from the garrison. Their combat level and experience were far from the main combat division. However, the 22nd Division also developed the habit of despising the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces during a small number of operations against the guerrillas during a month's garrison. After they obtained intelligence, the 48th Division fled wildly, they no longer cared about the infantry war requirements, and asked the search team to form a fast force and bowed their heads and chased them.

This unit handed over all the cavalry's spare horses to infantry for use. A brigade rushed to chase after the footprints of the ** and unexpectedly entered the preset position of the 199th Division. Their recklessness even made the ** troops who were ready to fight immediately when they saw the enemy coming: Why didn't the Japanese launch an attack on the troops and continue to enter the battlefield in a marching manner!?

What a guy! The enemy didn't even find our position! Luo Shujia felt incredible, he wanted to go and see this scene in person...

"Hurry!..." Wearing the camouflage of wild grass branches, the officers and soldiers of the machine gun company secretly moved closer to the highway... Because they never thought that the enemy would crash into this way, they had to adjust the combat position in order to defend the firepower to achieve the maximum killing effect!

The mountain roads on both sides of the highway suddenly narrowed, but the Japanese who were rushing to advance still did not slow down. At this time, the ** troops on the mountains on both sides were ready for battle, but everyone still did not fire - the more you walked, the harder it would be to get out!

"Discover the enemy! Get ready for battle!" The Japanese finally discovered the ** position on a front mountain that was about to turn. The Japanese army rushed directly to the main formation of the ** position!

"Swish~! Boom! Boom! Boom!..." Before the Japanese could dismount, mortar shells fell from the sky! The Japanese who had no time to unfold the team were instantly bombed and turned the team into chaos!

"Download the team! Attack!" Under the command of an equally embarrassing officer, the Japanese soldiers began to launch their teams. Although they had no formal combat experience, they had received more than a year of military training in the country. After leaving behind the bodies of the ground, the team finally began to enter the combat state... "Chi Ce Ce Ce Ce Ce! Ce Ce Ce Ce! Shuang Ce! Shuang Ce! Shuang Ce! Shuang Ce! Shuang Ce…" Machine gun bullets flew across the battlefield like raindrops, and those who were fighting on both sides of the soldiers who were about to launch the teams were almost all the Japanese soldiers who saw them!

What's going on? Why are there enemies on all sides!? The Japanese army surrounded by siege began to panic, and what made them even more panic was the sound of machine guns they heard - wasn't that the 92 or a crooked guy? It is said that those who encounter a large number of opponents on the battlefield use our army's standard weapons must be careful. Those who can seize so many of our army's weapons must be very powerful Chinese troops!

The officers and soldiers of the 22nd Division's search team were scared to death by the experience taught back by the veterans who had been on the battlefield. They didn't know that the ** unit in front of them had newly equipped the Hatchcais m1914 heavy machine gun and m192226 light machine gun transported by the French!

Encountered a super strong army of all-Japanese machine guns! They were surrounded! Panic spread among the Japanese army... "Kill and give it!" The last group of brave Japanese troops rushed towards the positions on both sides like crazy, but when they finally left behind a large number of corpses and rushed to the mountain walls, they found that these mountain walls could not climb up at all!

"Puff puff puff puff! Puff puff!" The sound of bullets entering the flesh sounded creepy. The panicked Japanese found that they could not find the combat target at all: the modified terrain made it difficult for them to continue climbing up the edges of the mountain wall, while the soldiers on both sides sacrificed the use of edge lines and no longer shot at them but attacked the opposite Japanese! Although the distance was far, such shooting had to be turned over and leaned against the mountain wall before they could fight back. Otherwise, they would not be able to find the opponent and were killed by the machine gun on the opposite mountain top and the rifle was pointed at the back!

The Japanese army, who lacked combat experience, discovered this after paying a lot of casualties. When they learned to turn around and lean on the mountain wall to shoot, they found that the firepower of the shooting was all cross-strike. They could not find the enemy in front of them. At this time, they had to deal with the grenades that suddenly fell from above their heads and threw them down on the mountain side!... In just twenty minutes, the Japanese who entered the ambush circle were beaten to a great extent. The remaining people collapsed. They fled wildly, leaving their backs to the soldiers to practice guns!

Escape along the way, corpses along the way, bloodstains along the way! When the Japanese finally escaped to the relatively open section of the road, there were only less than thirty people left, and then they were greeted by three light and heavy machine gun positions along the way and officers and soldiers approaching two companies who had already rushed to the side of the road to ambush!

"Reporting the Division! Annihilation of 1,262 enemy troops, eight of our army were injured, three of them were in serious condition but none of them lost their combat capabilities!" The staff officer of the report looked proud, and Luo Shujia was stunned when he listened to the report!

If he hadn't watched the battle with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed the result of this battle even if he had killed him!

"Telection Command! All the officers and soldiers of my 199th Division fought bloody battles, encircled and wiped out two thousand Japanese vanguards from multiple routes, seized a large number of weapons and ammunition, and sent them to take photos later..."

Luo Shujia's victory made Bai Chongxi in the headquarters overjoyed and suspicious: The 199th Division is said to have good combat effectiveness, but they can kill and injure them in one day. No, they will wipe out two thousand invading enemy troops! If Luo Shujia hadn't said it was clear and said that he would send someone to take real photos later and wipe out at least half of the Japanese army's seal, he wouldn't believe it if he had killed him!

Liu Xiangu and Chen Kongda, the chief and deputy commanders of the 87th Army who were still in Wuhan, were in the same mood as Bai Chongxi when they learned the news. They couldn't believe it, but they wanted to believe it very much! They just learned that the commander of the army Xu Yuanquan was arrested by Cao Xiaomin and his house was confiscated... If the result of this battle is true, then there will be a happy ending!

It was not until half a day later that the military police force of the Ministry of Military Affairs confirmed the results and reported them back that Bai Chongxi really relieved his heart, but at this time, news came again: The 135th Division of the North Line was fighting bloody battles!
