blood feud

Nanjiro carefully recalled his experience of several disastrous defeats as the commander of the Kwantung Army, and finally said: "Bai Shujie, the devil, has always been insidious and vicious, and he does everything he can. He knows the principle of relaxation and restraint. I will do things that I am not sure about, and there are no definite rules, and it is always unexpected.”

"In any case, even if North Korea really falls into the hands of Bai Shujie, he is still in a strange place now, and he should not be as handy in various aspects as before. Keep a certain amount of pressure on him and buy us time. This is the only way at present. Method,"

Kawagishi Bunsaburo and Nanjiro made a plan, and then sent out their own search wing (light cavalry) and marine garrison to launch a comprehensive reconnaissance.

Three days later, the results were obtained: northeast of Seoul and south of the Masiling Mountains, no enemy was found, and the roads and railways from Tiewon and Pyeongkang to Wonsan Port and Hamhung were still unimpeded.

No enemy was found along the coast of the East China Sea, and all the way to Chengjin Port was normal. The military police and police everywhere were intact, and no signs of enemy attack were found.

"Yo Sai," Fumisaburo Kawagishi regained some confidence immediately after receiving the information, and then called Nanjiro: "Your Excellency, Baek Shujie's strength is insufficient, and he only stole the hinterland of Pyongyang."

"According to the reconnaissance results, the area controlled by Bai Shujie does not exceed a quarter of the Korean peninsula, and the eastern area is still under our control. The connection between North and South Korea has not been cut off, and there is still a lot of room for maneuver. There is still a lot to do. , "

Nanjiro didn't have such an optimistic idea: "Kawagan-kun, what I'm worried about is that Bai Shujie doesn't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, and makes troubles everywhere to make us restless. That's what he did when I was in Manchuria,"

"Your Excellency's concern is justified," Kawagishi Fumisaburo explained his thoughts on the phone: "In order to restrict Bai Shujie's freedom of movement, I decided to send the 40th Infantry Brigade to deal with the situation in the northwest, and the 39th Infantry Brigade On the one hand, defend the northeast, and on the other hand, ensure the traffic arteries in the eastern coastal area,"

After hearing the deployment of Kawagishi Bunsaburo, Nanjiro felt a little more at ease: "The empire is at a critical juncture, and the safety of this North Korean base is of paramount importance. I will recruit the Korean division as soon as possible, and at the same time request the military to allocate equipment. I will leave everything to Kawagishi-kun, "

Except for the 20th Regiment of the 39th Brigade, the No. 77 Division of Kawagishi Fumizaburo suffered some losses in Nanyuan, but it was all luck and did not encounter any major setbacks.

After defeating Feng Zhian's 37th Division at Zhoukoudian, the vanguard was intercepted by Wei Lihuang, and the main force was blocked by the infantry battalion of Zhang Erleng's Fangshan Independent Regiment. As a result, the No. 20 Division did not catch up with "" The bloody battle at Nankou", so it was not seriously injured.

Wensaburo Kawagishi ordered the 40th Brigade to be in charge of the Northwest, which was also considered, because the 40th Brigade has been completely "armed parade" for the past six months, and has not caught up with a single battle.

The brigade commander of the 40th Brigade was originally Yamashita Fengwen, because when the headquarters of the North China Dispatch Army was in Baoding, it was taken away by Bai Shujie. Later, the headquarters was reorganized. Half a year earlier, he became the "Chief of Staff of the North China Dispatched Army".

Now the 40th Brigade has jurisdiction over the 79th Infantry Regiment (regiment leader Ishiro Mori) and the 80th Infantry Regiment (regiment leader Kenji Suzuki).

Last month, Major General Liang Fu rushed directly from the base camp to North China, and brought two brigades of supplementary soldiers, so the No.20 division is now fully staffed, and it is the most tidy "two brigades, four regiments, eighth brigades" .

加上第26野炮联队、第28搜索联队、第20辎重联队,师团部1个机枪大队、1个骑兵大队、1个通信大队、1个医疗大队,No.20师团总兵力24000余人。

This good husband last month was born in 1886 and is now 52 years old. This old bastard is not young.

Because of major changes in the Korean peninsula, the No.20 division was ordered to return urgently, so there was no chance to make trouble in Shanxi. Last month, Liang Fu, an old bastard, had not had time to complete the "slaughter of the village".

There was no time to "slaughter the village", the 40th Brigade did not receive a fatal blow, and the good husband did not receive meritorious service last month, so I was very depressed.

After receiving the order to "warn to the northwest to ensure the safety of the north of Seoul", Major General Yoshio last month immediately ordered the 79th Regiment of Moriki Ishiro to start operations to find out the deployment of the enemy in front of him.

The first battalion of the Flying Dragon Division under Shi Liancheng encountered an infantry battalion of the 79th Regiment with more than 1350 soldiers. One of the squadrons was divided into two groups and rushed to the front line of Baichuan and Jinchuan respectively. This is the bait released by the little devil. , The main force of the brigade, the four squadrons were dragged behind by 5 kilometers.

Lieutenant General Fumisaburo Kawagishi's original intention was to maintain a certain amount of pressure on Bai Shujie's troops who might survive in the north, and he was not ready for a big war. , uphold law and order, "

"Maintain a certain amount of pressure" and "mopping up and rectifying", these are completely two concepts, but the "down and up" in the little devil army has a long history, and it is impossible to change it all at once.

For Bai Shujie, his original idea was to hide his strength, be an ostrich for a period of time, go through the most difficult days, and then perform a thunderous blow to secure the victory in one fell swoop.

Just like in the past, it was enough to make small troubles at ordinary times, mainly to "declare one's existence", and then it took four years to prepare in secret, and finally launched two consecutive battles, killing the sixth division and the fourth division group.

If you don't cry, you're done. If you want to kill, kill it thoroughly. This is what Bai Shujie likes to do.

But now the enemy comes up with a large group, ignore him, then they will kill them along the railway to the hinterland of Pyongyang, make themselves feel uncomfortable, and treat it as one thing, dealing with more than 1000 people seems like a fuss.

If it wasn't for Zhao Jinxi working hard beside him, Bai Shujie would really not want to expose his strength for the sake of a brigade of little devils.

Because his own resources are limited, even if he wants to eat up the brigade delivered to his door, Bai Shujie will not do too much useless work, so he dispatched a regiment and a battalion with more than [-] people at once, which is obviously not to deal with a brigade , but to deal with the idea of ​​a wing.

According to Bai Shujie's order, Shi Liancheng dispatched a regiment of troops, and this regiment was the First Machine Gun Regiment that had never played a role.

It didn't play a role, not to say that this regiment is not good, but that this regiment belongs to the last iron fist of Feilong's first division, and it was in the reserve team position in the Jinzhou Battle. When they entered Jinzhou City, all the battles were over.

Because of this, when entering North Korea, the vanguard of the Feilong [-]st Division was the [-]st Machine Gun Regiment, so they are now the closest to the enemy.

Later, Shi Liancheng deployed the defense area, and the three battalions of this regiment were distributed in the three areas of Pingshan, Leuchanli, and Pingquan, forming a long snake formation, and undertaking the frontal defense task in the southeast direction of the Feilong First Division.

A squadron of the little devils attacked Tianmo Mountain in the east. The garrison here was 1 people from the 3st Battalion and 248rd Company of the [-]st Machine Gun Regiment. The specific organization was as follows:

1个普通班17人=2挺dw7.62轻机枪+13支dw突击步枪,机枪团每个班加强1挺机枪,减少2支突击步枪,就变成了3挺轻机枪、11支突击步枪；

1个普通排4个班70人=8挺dw7.62轻机枪+54支dw突击步枪,机枪团的每个排就是12挺轻机枪、46支突击步枪；

1个炮班17人=4门dw82l无后坐力炮+4支榴弹枪+4支dw突击步枪,组成四个单独作战的炮兵小组,一个连两个炮兵班,就是8门无后坐力炮,8支榴弹枪。

Therefore, Bai Shujie's combat company is organized into = 3 platoons + 2 recoilless gun squads = 248 people, with the ability to fight alone, it is tit-for-tat with the little devil's infantry squadron in terms of numbers, and its firepower density is twice that of the little devil.

Because of this, the 1st Battalion and 3rd Company defending Tianmoshan formed a circular position. Seeing a squadron of little devils rushing up with their buttocks pouting, they didn't take it seriously at all.

When the distance between the two sides was about 500 meters, the little devil's impact squadron stopped and began to divide into battle groups, that is, the four teams arranged the order of impact, and the crooked sub-machine guns and grenade grenade were all advanced to strengthen the first impact team.

The third company commander was lying on the fortifications with a cigarette in his mouth. The three platoon leaders and the two artillery squad leaders held up binoculars and looked down at the little devil's work.

"Okay, let's watch the ball," the third company commander saw that the little devil's first assault team was ready and was preparing to pull away the skirmish line, so he yelled: "Fire the light machine gun, let me knock it down first!" Drop the crooked handle and the grenadier, and the artillery squad is ready for battle. Once the enemy launches a group charge, I will bomb the charge group for Lao Tzu,"

The first platoon leader was unwilling: "Company commander, our anti-infantry mines are located 200 meters ahead. We might as well wait for the little devil to come up and blow up his son of a bitch. Brothers, save your energy."

"Fart," the third company commander turned his head and glared at the platoon leader: "Anti-personnel landmines are the last line of defense, so don't expose them easily. The regimental commander and battalion commander have repeatedly emphasized that we should fully use our firepower so that the little devils can never charge. to within 200 meters,"

"It's not like you don't know the little devil's rifleman. When it reaches 200 meters, it is very likely to cause casualties to us. The commander-in-chief personally researches new weapons to completely suppress the little devil. Got it, I can’t eat and walk around,”

"Hurry up and fire me, didn't you see that the little devil has rushed within 400 meters? If you wait any longer, the little devil's crooked handle will reach the striking distance, and he is about to fire,"

机枪团的一个机枪连,就是36挺轻机枪,都是40发弹夹或者75发大弹鼓,有效打击距离都是600,,800米,现在小柜子已经冲到400米以内,已经到最大杀伤力的范围内。

A platoon leader was reprimanded by the company commander, and his heart was furious. When he turned over and saw the soldiers making weird faces at him, he immediately became angry from embarrassment: "Look, look at your motherfuckers, according to the original plan, hurry up and give me the money." I hit, "

The so-called original plan is to concentrate half of the light machine guns for long-range suppression, so that the little devils can strengthen their firepower, that is, all crooked handles and grenades can be turned into fire sticks, so that large troops cannot rush.

After all, what happens next, let's see the next chapter to break it down,
