Just when Shanxia Fengwen, an old devil, thought he had a plan and besieged Wujiashan, Xu Rui took advantage of the Soviet Union and led four battalions to attack Yanji, Tumen, Wangqing, and Hunchun counties at the same time, and even captured Wangqing county. .
Xu Rui said: "The little devil is quite tenacious. There are dozens of consultants and the gendarmerie, more than a hundred people, but they didn't even catch a single person alive."
"Captain, what are we going to do next?" He Shuya asked.
Xu Rui glanced at He Shuya and said, "What are you doing? As long as that old devil Fengwen Shanxia doesn't return to the army, then we will kill the four counties near Hunchun and turn the world upside down!"
…
In the frontline headquarters of the Japanese Seventh Army, Yamashita Fengfumi slowly stood up with the help of everyone. He put his hands on the table and Yamashita Fengfumi's most beloved enamel tea cup fell to the ground and broke into several pieces of broken porcelain in an instant.
Yamashita Fengwen was stunned. This teacup had been with him for many years, and it broke here today. This was not a good sign.
Yamashita Fengwen's chest continued to rise and fall, and finally calmed down. The old devil's eyes now had a little more energy.
"Your Majesty Commander, you need to have a good rest." Kobayashi Asaburo said.
"I'm fine." Yamashita Fengwen supported himself. He knew that if he fell, the Seventh Army would fall into a greater crisis.
If you use four words to describe Yamashita Fengwen's mood at this time, it would be a dilemma.
If you retreat at this point, all your previous efforts will be in vain, and you will become the laughing stock of all your colleagues. However, if you continue to persist, the logistics support channel will be in danger of being cut off by the new regiment. Once you are in a situation of running out of ammunition and food, The entire Seventh Army stationed on Hunchun Ridge may be destroyed.
"Your Excellency, Commander, why don't we retreat?" Kobayashi Asaburo said with difficulty. In his opinion, the only way to retreat now was to retreat. Since Yamashita Fengfumi couldn't make this decision, he had to do it himself.
Yamashita Fengwen slowly closed his eyes, seeming to be thinking about something. After a while, he opened his eyes, two rays of light burst out from his eyes, and his face gained a rosy complexion.
"Retreat? It's not time yet." Yamashita Fengwen shook his head.
"But..." Kobayashi Asaburo wanted to say something else.
Yamashita Fengwen waved his hand and said, "Xiao Lin, don't you see that this is a huge turning point?"
"A turning point?" After hearing these words, everyone including Kobayashi Asaburo and the others were stunned. They didn't understand that it was obviously a hopeless war, but how could it suddenly turn into a huge turning point? What did Yamashita Fengwen see
A smile appeared from the corner of Yamashita Fengwen's mouth. Knowing that his subordinates were unclear about his thoughts, Yamashita Fengwen decided that it was necessary to express his intentions.
"Xu Rui thought that by making good friends with the Soviets, he could leave the Wujiashan Fortress and attack our army's logistics supply lines. However, he did not expect that by doing so, he would give us a greater opportunity."
"Nani?" Everyone looked at Yamashita Fengwen, their eyes full of doubts.
"Look, according to the intelligence, the total strength of Xu Rui's New Anti-Union Regiment is only 5,000 people. Now, if he attacks four counties at the same time, he will need at least three to four thousand people. In other words, the New Anti-Union Regiment's total strength is only 5,000. The main force has left Wujiashan Fortress, so the number of soldiers of the New Anti-Union Regiment remaining in Wujiashan Fortress will not exceed 2,000. To defend such a large Wujiashan Fortress with one or two thousand soldiers, there will inevitably be insufficient troops. It gives us the opportunity to conquer the Wujiashan Fortress in one fell swoop! So, as long as we seize this opportunity to launch a general attack, we will definitely be able to conquer the Wujiashan Fortress!"
"Yes, your Excellency the Commander is wise, why didn't we think of it." Everyone started talking excitedly.
"But Commander, if we fail to capture Wujiashan, and our supply route is cut off by Xu Rui, and Xu Rui attacks from behind, then our 60,000-strong Seventh Army will be completely destroyed by the Wujiashan Fortress. "?" Asaburo Kobayashi poured a basin of cold water on the fire that was just burning in everyone's hearts.
"Mr. Xiao Lin is right. Our logistics route cannot be ignored. However, the reason why Xu Rui's new anti-alliance regiment is powerful is because they are backed by the Wujiashan Fortress and are good at fighting in mountains and jungles. If they are in the big On the plains, the combat effectiveness of the new regiment will be greatly reduced. Therefore, I decided to mobilize the 48th Division to return to Yanji and Hunchun and other four counties. I did not seek to eliminate Xu Rui's troops, as long as they could entangle Xu Rui's main force. That's it, the remaining three divisions will use wheel warfare and launch successive attacks on Wujiashan in squadron units. As long as Wujiashan is captured, Xu Rui's new anti-alliance regiment will become a source of water. When the main force returns, we must gather them on the plain and annihilate them!"
"Yo Xi!" Kobayashi Asaburo and many staff members were extremely excited about Yamashita Fengfumi's idea. Everyone was thinking that General Yamashita Fengfumi was really a resourceful person. He thought of countermeasures in such a short period of time. If Yamashita Fengfumi If the strategic intention is realized, then Xu Rui's troops, which have been traversing China for several years, will inevitably be gathered and annihilated on the Northeast Plains!
"Your Excellency, Commander, please give me the order!" Everyone said in high spirits, completely losing their previous frustration.
Yamashita Fengwen laughed and said: "I order the 48th Division to immediately return to support the four counties of Yanji. At the same time, the 38th Division, the 46th Division, and the 39th Division will All the artillery fire was concentrated together to launch a saturation attack on the Wujiashan Fortress. After the artillery bombardment, each division launched a squadron-based attack on the Wujiashan Fortress and could not stop for a moment! Drag the new regiment to death, exhaust it to death, and annihilate the new regiment!"
"Hai!"
Everyone responded in unison.
…
boom!
Boom boom!
Artillery shells fell on the Wujiashan Fortress one after another. Debris flew and smoke filled the air. The Japanese army's shelling was very fierce. Half of the shells were fired in half an hour.
However, I have to admit that the construction of the Wujiashan Fortress is indeed extremely strong. The construction of this fortress started in 1932 has been more than eight years. Although it has not been completely repaired, it has been mostly completed. All the buildings in the fortress have been completed. The fortress has reinforced concrete fortifications, a large number of firepower points, as well as steel cap forts, armored observation posts and firepower points made of civil engineering.
In addition, the fortifications also have a large number of infantry bunkers, mobile trenches, anti-tank trenches, chain barbed wire and anti-infantry minefields.
Inside the fortress, there are ammunition stocks, grain stocks, power stations, water supply and drainage systems, bathrooms, etc., as well as barracks based on squads and platoons, conference rooms, medical clinics, kitchens, telephone rooms, and officer command posts. There are electric rails. Transport vehicles and special passages, shafts, vents.
Concrete needs to be poured on top and around the hole. The concrete is one to two meters thick, which can be said to be truly impregnable.
In order to build the Wujiashan fortifications, a hundred thousand laborers died of exhaustion here. It would be strange if the fortifications built at such a high cost did not work. Therefore, although the Japanese were firing heavily outside, there was no fire inside the fort. No impact at all.
Wang Husheng, who stayed behind in the fortress, did not take the Japanese artillery fire seriously. He just ordered the troops to prepare for battle and not to attack the fortress easily and expose the fortress to unnecessary sacrifices to the enemy.
In fact, Yamashita Fengwen, an old devil, is very capable. He accurately calculated the number of people in the new regiment in the fortress. The fifth battalion of the new regiment left behind to guard the fortress only has about a thousand people. The strength is extremely insufficient. However, Yamashita Fengwen missed one thing, and that was the existence of the Wujiashan Fortress militia.
Xu Rui made targeted arrangements for this situation before leaving. More than a thousand people with better quality were recruited from the militia to form the fortress garrison. Of course, not all of the fortress garrison was filled with people. For new recruits, Xu Rui has placed many veterans in it as squad leaders and combat backbones. Xu Rui believes that as long as it goes through the baptism of several battles, the fortress garrison will definitely become a force with strong combat effectiveness.
Yang Laoyao and Ergazi also joined the fortress garrison because of their good physical fitness. This was the first time for the two of them to hear the sound of cannons. Ergazi was so frightened that he peed his pants.
Yang Laoyao said: "You coward, you are so scared before you even see the little devil. If you really see the little devil, you must be scared to death."
"Uncle, I don't want to fight, I want to go home." Ergazi said tremblingly.
"We don't even have eyebrows when we go back to this shitty home. Don't say we can't go home. Even if we get home, we have to be arrested by the little devils. If the little devils don't let us live, we will fight them to the end!"
Ergazi also knew in his heart that what Yang Laoyao said was right, so he stopped saying anything.
Half an hour later, the enemy's artillery fire finally stopped, and then, the enemy could only be heard shouting "Think about it!" Suddenly there was a loud sound of gunfire. Looking outside, I saw hundreds of Japanese soldiers opening up their skirmish lines and rushing towards the top of Wujia Mountain.
It was winter at this time, and the Japs were not moving very fast in the snow. However, these Japs were highly skilled in tactics and were very organized in their march. They used obstacles in the mountains to alternately cover their advance, which gave the defenders in the mountain fortress a lot of trouble. Military defense adds great difficulty.
"The enemy's artillery has stopped, prepare to fight!" the squad leader, who was a veteran, roared. Ergazi and Yang Laoyao climbed over and stretched out the barrel of the gun through the shooting hole.
"Snapped!"
Yang Laoyao fired a shot, blowing a Japanese man's head off.
"Okay, Young Lao Yang, your shooting skills are pretty good." The old squad leader said approvingly.
"Hey, this is nothing. My family has been hunters in the Hunchun area for generations. Not to mention the little devils, I have killed countless roe deer running on the ground and eagles flying in the sky." Yang Laoyao said.
This is really the case. It is precisely because Yang Laoyaoer and Ergazi are from Orions that they were selected to join the main force.
"Are you hunters? Why did I hear that you live in the town?" the veteran asked.
"Hey, in order to deal with the Anti-Japanese Alliance a few years ago, the Japanese gathered families and merged villages, burned all the scattered villages, and moved us into the town. There was nothing we could do about it." Yang Laoyao said.
