Chapter 309: The Japs are too scary when they don't care about their lives
The commanders of the 1st and 2nd divisions received the news quickly. Under the air fire and the rocket attack they had just launched, a regiment of the Japanese was completely destroyed.
Less than a morning after the battle started, they had achieved such results, which really surprised the two division commanders.
This situation made them realize that their combat effectiveness was now very strong, so there was nothing to be afraid of and they could just charge forward.
So the two of them made a new plan. They quickly concentrated the armored battalion's fifty T34s as the vanguard, followed by the infantry, to implement coordinated infantry and tank operations.
They must occupy the abandoned positions as quickly as possible and continue to advance.
They had experienced brutal battles and were not afraid of sacrifice. They were not like Zhao Yun, who was always concerned about this and that. As long as they could kill the Japanese, they would charge forward without fear.
After all, this method tells all the elders and fellow villagers that the Northeast Army is also a real man. Killing the devils is not ambiguous. Although they are now the National Defense Army, they know who they are.
As the 1st and 2nd Divisions advanced simultaneously and the Japanese 1st Regiment collapsed, the battle entered a strange phase.
The Japanese soldiers desperately ran backwards, while the T34 tanks rushed forward desperately, firing shells as they moved, and shells fell on their escape path, killing more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in an instant.
The commander of the 1st Brigade of the th Division also collapsed at this moment. He received news that the st Regiment was destroyed.
The worst thing was that the 2nd and 3rd Regiments were retreating, but they were also hit by tanks and air fire, and still suffered casualties.
They were unable to organize effective air defense because there was a severe shortage of heavy machine guns, and even if they had any, they would not be able to form a large-scale defense network.
They are in trouble this time, he thought in his heart. At the same time, he also understood that the elite of the Kwantung Army might all be sacrificed in this defensive battle. He really didn't want to fight now because it was meaningless.
If possible, withdraw everyone and wait until they are equipped with the same equipment. Then the meaning of fighting will be different.
Unfortunately, he was just a brigade commander, not one of the officials in Tokyo, so he had no way of deciding this matter.
Not only was he shaken, many people were shaken because they clearly realized this.
At this time, the division commander sent him an urgent telegram.
"The First Brigade must hold on. We must fight them head-on. If there are any escapees, you can just give the order to shoot them."
"If we collapse, Dalian's local offshore lines will be cut off, which is not allowed."
The commanders of the 15th and 16th Divisions sent telegrams to their respective brigade commanders.
What it really means is that they will live and die with this city, and whoever dares to retreat will die.
They didn't want this to happen either. Just now, the Kwantung Army Headquarters sent them an urgent telegram, saying that all 70 troops would be in place in one day. By then, it didn't matter how loose the defense line was, as long as it was still in their own hands, there was hope.
The implication is that they should hold on until reinforcements arrive.
They had no choice but to follow this order because if they collapsed, it would bring great risks and lead to similar situations in other armies.
In this way, not only the retreating Second and Third Regiments, but all the retreating brigades in two directions also stopped. They all changed direction and continued to rush towards the front positions.
This is the Japanese devil. When he gets crazy, he won’t recognize anyone.
The First and Second Divisions stopped advancing after attacking for about 20 kilometers. The air strike group had left, and they needed to defend and clean up the battlefield.
Although they knew that they had a sufficient firepower advantage, they could not rush forward recklessly. It would be troublesome if they were surrounded.
After they stopped advancing, the Japanese also received the message, asking them to stop retreating and prepare to continue the attack to retake the lost positions.
The two division commanders had not expected this situation. Half an hour later, they received an urgent telegram from the front line that the entire enemy division was approaching.
They were no longer counterattacking as an independent battalion, but rather a collective charge by the entire division.
They immediately ordered the tank battalion to block the enemy and all the infantry to retreat to avoid heavy casualties.
They were not afraid, but they wanted to figure out why the enemy was so crazy. This way of seeking death was extremely unreasonable.
In other words, this is not how a war is fought. How could tens of thousands of people charge head-on?
This made the two division commanders feel very nervous. They urgently sent a request for guidance to the front-line command, hoping that the front-line command would give clear instructions.
They did not look for their army commander because the army commander also needed to coordinate with the front-line command. This is the advantage of having radio, which allows wireless communication with any unit.
After receiving the news at the front-line command center, they quickly analyzed and concluded that the Japanese must have received some kind of order and could not retreat but had to advance, otherwise there would be big problems.
"Is the Japanese army about to be fully assembled?"
"It's possible that they are afraid of affecting the morale of the army, so they took necessary measures. Even if two divisions are completely wiped out, it is better than running back and letting others see and affect morale."
After analyzing the approximate causes, everyone responded quickly.
"1nd Division of the 2st Division of the th Army, your troops will use tanks as superior firepower and rocket launchers as auxiliary firepower to quickly and fiercely strike the incoming enemy. Half of the infantry will withdraw and the remaining half will assist the tank battalion in the attack."
"Fight and retreat at the same time. Don't retreat too fast to avoid a major collapse."
The telegram was sent quickly and also sent to the Sixth Army Command.
In this way, the Japanese on the front line once again tasted the power of Katyusha rocket launchers, and another battalion was wiped out one round after another.
Of course at this time the Japs didn't bother to count the number of people, they just rushed forward.
All the trucks were loaded with explosives and rushed towards the tank group recklessly, as if they were determined to die together with the enemy.
Fortunately, a salvo of rocket launchers blocked the approaching enemies, otherwise the T34 tank group might have suffered considerable damage.
In this way, the two divisions fought and retreated in all directions, and soon they retreated to the place where they started their action. At the same time, the number of Japanese casualties basically reached a peak.
But they did not stop and continued to rush forward. Fortunately, air support arrived again at this time.
This was not the previous batch, but the second batch that took off urgently. According to the time calculation, they were too late to provide support, so they could only take off the second batch.
This batch is mainly composed of B52 bombers and H-6, without fighter escort.
At their current flying speed, no fighter jet can catch up with them, and their altitude cannot be reached, so their safety will not be a problem.
This time the plane also carried special ammunition including fuel-air explosive bombs and thermobaric bombs, which Zhao Yun specially asked them to arrange after he learned the news.
He really wanted to experiment with the effectiveness of these two types of ammunition on the battlefield.
"This is an aerial bomber formation. All ground personnel must evacuate outside a 10-kilometer radius. Evacuate quickly and don't worry about anything else."
The two division commanders did not think about it. Since it was an order from the Air Force Command, they just carried it out.
All the soldiers stood on the tanks, some got on the trucks, and ran away as quickly as if they were escaping for their lives.
Because one of their training contents is that if there is an air strike, they ask you to move far away, so you have to move away as quickly as possible, which means that the weapons they are going to drop may be special.
This is to prevent them from being equally harmed.
