Chapter 117: The Japanese Army’s Disaster Defeat

The war on the front line was still entangled. Although the Japanese army showed all their ambitions and brute force and even bet on their lives, they were still firmly blocked in front of an infantry regiment position of the Anmeng Army. The Japanese lower-level officers who led the charge on the front line could not understand that this was not the Yonggu Fortifications like the Lushun 203 Highlands, and the enemy was not the Russian army, one of the European powers. Their night attack reached the greatest suddenness, and their firepower was never used so accurately and fiercely. The enemy's simple civil fortifications and trenches had been beaten to pieces. How could these inferior Chinese troops be nailed to the front and fight to the death without retreating, and they also fought with them with the most sacrificing hand-to-hand combat?

All of them were filled in this direction. The officers and soldiers of the fifth Japanese division who died and injured almost covered the land here, while the so-called An Meng army soldiers on the opposite side still did not retreat! In the eyes of both sides looking at each other during the fight, the Japanese army read from each other what kind of determination this was. For this evil neighbor in the east, the Yangyang China had tolerated humiliation for eighteen years. The battle here may be the clarion call for the national counterattack. No matter what method the counterattack war was used, how long it would take. Such an army represented the national awakening force until victory was won. Death on the battlefield on the national counterattack front is the highest destination for the descendants of Yan and Huang.

I live, the country is destroyed. I die, the country survives. One of the two major mottos of the Jiangbei Army Officer School is to instill all the will and determination of this national force from top to bottom.

When the Tangu Uliang regiment with its last courage and determination to resist the Japanese infantry's continuous and desperate attacks like crazy, the troops of the Fourth Brigade of the CSR 2nd Division of the Anmeng Army adapted by the Independent Brigade finally surged upwards, and their machine guns fired upwards to attack the subsequent Japanese infantry. Other soldiers joined the melee on the trench line. The mortar troops of each regiment occupied the commanding heights regardless of the bad weather, and the Japanese artillery was still firing fiercely.

Under the circumstances, the mortars were raised, and the sound of all the mortars being out of the bore were added to the singing of various firepowers of the An Meng army on the front line. Whether the Japanese attacking infantry outside the trenches were attacked by such a fierce counterattack by the reserve team, they felt unable to bear it. Their fight with the Tanguwuliang regiment had almost exhausted all their strength, so how could they resist such a huge new force joining again! For them, this was the last moment of this night attack!

The two commanders of the Fourth Brigade of the Second Division were in the middle of the team, and from time to time, they were deafening gunfire, and they were hoarsely commanding the troops to fill them up, stabbing the Japanese troops on the opposite side, and suppressing the Japanese troops on the opposite side! The two young commanders with colonel rank had completely forgotten the smoke columns of artillery shells that were stirred up high around them. The soldiers of the reserve team were like huge waves that were constantly advancing from south to north, and they were harshly hitting the Japanese troops head-on! They were frozen in the middle of the night, and at this time they threw away their coats and forgot the feeling of coldness. The troops adapted from the Independent Brigade of the Ninth Division

While other troops were fighting bloody battles on various battlefields, they were leisurely guarding the front line of Taierzhuang. As a training pilot unit of Jiangbei Army Officers School, God knows how much blood and energy they were holding in their hearts, and at this time they burst out! The muscles of each soldier were tense, and the sound of shouting and killing squeezed out of their chest accompanied their stormtroopers until their bayonets penetrated into the chest of a Japanese soldier, they could feel a little venting the blood and energy that was stimulated by this fierce battle in their hearts!

A young Japanese lieutenant officer was already full of blood. Seeing that his troops in the trenches were driven out by more and more An Meng army soldiers, he took a step forward and inserted his command knife to the ground. He just shouted: "Jeopards, let's die at the position of this saber!" He was hit on his head by a mortar shell! In the loud explosion, there was no more scrap left. Liu Zhixuan, the colonel leader of the Fourth Regiment of the Second Brigade of the 2nd Division of the CSR CSR, standing a little higher, commanding the troops to keep moving forward. In the melee, he saw the end of the Japanese officer's death without a burial. While cheering with relief, a 150-mm heavy howitzer shell exploded not far away from him. Several shrapnel ripped open his body hideously, and the air waves threw his people away.

He graduated from the fourth phase of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School and a first-class clerk of the Qing government's Military Consulting Office. He was killed in the battle in Nanjing. He was 31 years old and was also the highest-ranking officer who died in the An Meng army in this battle. This fierce battle was really at a time of heat. However, over this climax, the morale of the An Meng army was greatly boosted, the strength of the troops, and the more they fought, the more brave they became. The Japanese army was just struggling to support it and struggled to death.

When the front of the Tangnu Wuliang regiment was shattered, the casualties on both sides rose sharply, and countless lives filled the line of death, turning this into a flesh-and-blood mill. Five or six miles away from the battlefield on the Liao River, a cavalry unit bypassed the left wing of the front line. It penetrated from a small wood and quietly passed through the Liao River in the sky with heavy wind and snow. The firelight in the distance reflected the ice surface, making the faces of the cavalry full of murderous aura. It was cold-resistant but not

The tall Mongolian war horses also made great strides in this kind of wind and snowy weather. The cavalry on the horse were blown to the point of being tilted, lying on the horse's back, tugging the reins tightly, and kicking the war horses with spurs to keep them forward. This is the Wolf Juxu Cavalry Regiment released from the First Division to encircle the Japanese rear route. In this weather that is absolutely not suitable for cavalry attacks, they still forced to move! The Japanese devils can attack us at night, so we will repay an old nest to raid them!

The commander of Hou Ming's cavalry was indeed gritted in the front with a bloodthirsty expression on his face. He was also a professional cavalry in the military academy, but he never had the style of a trained officer in the Jiangbei military system. He was swearing when he went to the battlefield and just wanted to lead the team to charge. Although he was a good cavalry officer, he had no good reputation in his superiors. The nickname of his cannon fodder Marquis was evident. But Hou Ming didn't care about these things in his heart. As long as I could fight and kill people for you, you would have time to use me! He was so satisfied with the tasks He Sui directly assigned him, so he had to wake up from his dream. When he set out, he had already explained to his three cavalry battalion commanders that his subordinates were also lawless figures. Everyone was just as scented.

"This time the commander has used us to kill the Japanese! The infantry brothers in front have fought hard, so our cavalry will go to raid their hometown! The horse's hooves are wrapped with straw to avoid slipping when crossing the river! The commander gives me three targets, and it is considered passing the Japanese infantry who have been beaten by the infantry. It is considered good to touch the artillery position that the Japanese devils used to beat us for a long time. If you find the headquarters of the 5th Division of the Japanese Division and capture the old devils Kuzang of Dashiya...... I will not let go of any of the three targets! The first battalion and the second battalion, you will detour to the rear of the Japanese infantry. They will definitely retreat and rush past the time.

Go and throw grenades and explosive packs, and the panicked Japanese are all slashing! Don’t use cavalry to rush in to fight with hand-to-hand combat. The weather and snow on the ground are not convenient for us to move! The second company and third company of the second battalion have three battalions, and they are touching the enemy’s fire. For those Japanese who have been fighting us for a long time, there is no word. The dead Japanese are good Japanese! If you don’t bring the Japanese artillery position, the third (the third battalion commander), you can pee and die! The direct cavalry company of the regiment headquarters follows me and find the Japanese headquarters! The brothers of the direct company, each of them has full grenades, without a spear, only Zi Laide and the sabre, and go with me!"

One thousand five hundred cavalry crossed the Liaohe River as fast as possible. If the bad weather had previously covered the whereabouts of the Japanese army, and at this time, the Wolf Juxu regiment, which also covered the entire regiment's attack, were already attracted by the unprecedented tragic battles on the front line, and did not notice that the Wolf Juxu Cavalry regiment, which had suffered a lot on the front line, opened their minions again and rushed silently towards the Japanese army's vitals. The An Meng army's counterattack began!

The bloody battle of the Japanese army on the front line was indeed at the end of its strength. The soldiers braved the opponent's fierce firepower to charge forward for a long distance in the unprecedentedly harsh weather, and devoted themselves to hand-to-hand combat with highly overdrawn physical strength and energy. The original spirit was almost exhausted after it could not break through the opponent's defense line. The opponent's troops' firepower was still increasing. As the backbone fanatic sergeant and lower-level officers died and injured, the colonel captain of the 22nd Infantry Regiment, who was called the treasure of Kanto.

Colonel Heiya Sugiyama, the hope star of the Japanese Army who studied in Germany, was also bombed in the artillery fire and could not find the complete corpse. The rage of the Anmeng Army reserve team seemed uncontrollable, and the Tangu Uliang Infantry Regiment, which was originally guarding here, was still fighting with them to death. Yamato Soul is not infinite, and the Pig Tu attack does not mean that all of them died on the battlefield. After the fanaticism, the corpses and opponents in the valley continued to increase their strength, which made the Japanese officers and soldiers on the front line only have one idea, that is, withdraw.

Retreat, keep some seeds for the Fifth Division. Although they were reluctant to admit the results of this night attack, it was a failure! Retreat back to the north bank of the Liaohe River. Mobilize more troops from North Korea and the country, and more firepower comes. The Japanese Empire will definitely avenge this! A voice of "Deng Xing! Deng Xing!" sounded on the front line, and many soldiers were already numb and could not react. Later, they realized that they had been ordered to turn in! Retreat suddenly became a reality facing their heads. The Japanese officers and soldiers who could no longer support them were red in their opponents.

In the pursuit of the battle, there was no organization or command. He stumbled out of the trenches where too many Japanese soldiers had died. Under the pursuit of the opponent's fire, he crashed into the wall of artillery fire of the Anmeng Army that was still blocking the Liaohe River. The retreat was not as easy as when he came. The firepower of the Anmeng Army blocking this section of the river had been strengthened, and the movement speed of the Japanese officers and soldiers who had exhausted their energy and physical strength had also slowed down. In the rain of artillery fire, they bumped around like headless flies, and from retreating, it had turned into an avalanche-like collapse.

Many Japanese soldiers had lost the strength to escape, and they lost their guns and lay on the ice of the Liao River. They were either killed by artillery shells or frozen to death in this weather. The officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to return to the other side of the river thought they could meet the support of their troops, so they quickly returned to the place where the troops gathered to take a breath. Unexpectedly, they encountered enemy cavalry rushing over from the dark wind and snow! Although they were not moving fast in the snow, the grenades and explosive packs they threw out, as well as the constantly firing of the pier machine gun bullets, became

The nightmare of these Japanese officers and soldiers who were no longer able to resist! In this massacre, there was even an extremely rare scene of Japanese soldiers kneeling on the snow and raising their hands to beg for their lives. However, the cavalry brothers of the Langjuxu Cavalry Regiment, who had been red from the bloody battle, could not care about so many. As long as the Japanese soldiers who were blocking their horses, they would have to be cut down. It turned out that the Japanese army left on the north bank of the Liao River had one or two large brigades of soldiers, who were all crippled in the last defensive battle. Now I see that they and the An Meng army were

A cavalry suddenly rushed out between the positions and massacred the charge troops they fled back, and hurriedly used their firepower to respond. The two sides fought with the flash of artillery fire with extremely low visibility. The cavalry did not fight hard with them. After giving the Japanese army considerable damage, they disappeared into the darkness. The defeated Japanese soldiers, like walking dead, finally rushed back to the starting position that seemed to be far away in the horizon. The trenches were full of military coats they took off before charging, but many of their masters had already transformed.

There was a mass of rotten flesh and blood on the Chinese land. These soldiers fell into these coats of coats, and their bodies were exhausted, and no one could pull them up. Such a tragic night was finally over... But the sound of gunfire and cannons suddenly burst out from their rear positions, which shocked their good dreams. The Japanese soldiers on the front line turned their eyes to the rear in confusion. There seemed to be another fierce battle there. How many enemies are there? Why are they everywhere? When will this nightmare end?

The six cavalry companies of the Anmeng Army used the already sparse defense line of the Japanese army and used the cover of bad weather to cross their front positions. For the targets of the Third Battalion and the Half of the Second Battalion, it was very clear that they were moving towards a place where artillery fire flashed. Today, the Japanese artillery soldiers did not know how many infantry brothers of the Anmeng Army died, and now they are about to avenge this!

Captain Yokoyama Sado, the fifth Japanese artillery Regiment, was shouting the exhausted artillery under his command with bare head, and then fired more artillery shells at the Anmeng Army. This fierce artillery battle has been in the middle of the night, and the North Korean master who transported ammunition was even exhausted. The shells they fired were almost the number of artillery shells launched in the entire Japanese army during the peace period since the end of the Russo-Japanese War! Some artillery had been broken, and the artillery soldiers were lying on the snow resting, regardless of the cold snow under them. The bald head of Yokoyama Sado was still ventilating heat. The infantry launched a desperate attack that bet on his life. He did not hope that if he could not achieve a breakthrough in the end, it was because of the artillery.

The responsibility of poor support! Commanding such a group of artillery groups, firing such a large amount of ammunition to the enemy, also made his spirit excited to the highest point, which was the peak of his career in 20 years of artillery warfare! He was not very clear about the results of the infantry and pigs on the front line. The messages sent back by the observation posts on the front line were still in fierce battles, and the visibility was low and unclear. The division command called several times, and they ordered them to continue to strengthen their firepower, and the breakthrough was right in front of him. Three hours ago, he said that the breakthrough was right in front of him! He vaguely knew that he was a little unoptimistic, so he felt twice as irritable and excited. In any case, his powerful group of artillery groups must kill more Chinese soldiers!

The soldiers scattered by an infantry squadron on the periphery suddenly screamed. The squadron was composed of the rural soldiers from Kanto Prefecture. They were originally low in military quality and lacked discipline. This weather was used as the warning for artillery positions. Many people left the post and went back to the trenches to burn the fire. What did these guys see? Some artillery soldiers who heard the screaming sounds were numb. Then they found something wrong. Amid the deafening sound of artillery, there were constant gunfire sounds coming! Then a large number of cavalrymen rushed out from the end of the wind and snow with the cold cold that made these unarmed artillery soldiers. The Chinese cavalrymen on the Mongolian horse who looked ferocious and shouted wildly were like a group of death!

Even Colonel Yokoyama Sado stared at these cavalry. Where did they come from? Has the infantry cluster in front been completely collapsed? What did they use to resist these Chinese cavalry armed to their teeth? With the sound of the first explosive pack exploded, these Japanese soldiers were awakened from the nightmare. Suddenly, a group of screams sounded. The Korean master who transported the shells ran around everywhere, and the artillerymen frantically searched for light weapons. Some Japanese gunners tried to make lighter steps.

The artillery turned around and shot these cavalrymen! But these experienced riders rushed for so long in the wind and snow, just for this moment, how could they organize again? The cavalrymen scattered and launched a completely free attack. Grenades, explosives, rifles, machine guns and sabers were used. A large number of Japanese artillery fell on their gun positions, and Japanese artillery dispersed in the sound of explosions. Looking at the thick 150-mm heavy howitzers, the cavalry were even more jealous.

The eyes were fired, and it was these heavy artillery that brought the biggest casualties to the An Meng army today! The twelve heavy howitzers from the Japanese military Lushun heavy artillery team have always been the treasures of the Kwantung Army's heavy artillery units. Almost all the artillery soldiers died on the artillery positions to protect the artillery. The An Meng army's cavalry tied the grenades with explosives and stuffed them into the artillery chamber. After a dull explosion sound, these artillery barrels were blown into a mess. And the Japanese artilleryism advocate and practitioner, Colonel Sado Yokoyama, had been in the cavalry for a long time

At the beginning of the charge, he died under the sabre of a cavalry and destroyed it with his beloved artillery group. This was also a good destination for this Japanese officer. This far-reaching raid completely destroyed the Japanese artillery group, and more than half of the Japanese artillery and gunners were lost. It was not until the grenades and explosive packs of these cavalry were exhausted that they suddenly disappeared in the wind and snow as when they came. It only left a nightmare for the remaining Japanese artillery that seemed to never wake up.

Commander Hou Ming was determined to win the first prize of killing generals and catching the flag. In this rude commander, he thought to himself. If the Japanese devils were killed, they could recruit troops again, and if the Japanese cannons were broken, they could rebuild them. However, it is not something that could be encountered at any time that he could catch or kill a Japanese devil's active lieutenant general division commander! He took his cavalry company directly under the regiment headquarters, which was as brave as him, and penetrated left and right in the Japanese front, trying to distinguish and find the Japanese division commander. He encountered Japanese infantry or baggage troops several times, but he reluctantly gave up leaving the battle and wanted to catch a big fish.

But in such a heavy storm, how easy is it to distinguish the Japanese division command? Seeing that the front and back of his cavalry were already being beaten by his cavalry, the Japanese artillery positions were even more burning. He still had nothing to find, so he would not be laughed at by the bastards under his command when he went back. He was so anxious that he was sweating all over the temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero that he almost wanted to lead the troops to join the attack on the Japanese artillery positions. Just as he was about to grit his teeth and give orders, the cavalry company commander beside him touched him: "Captain, look, there are two Japanese who are checking the line?"

With the flames still exploding in the direction of the Liaohe River, we vaguely saw two Japanese soldiers carrying cordons on their backs, heading towards the Japanese artillery positions. Hou Ming's mind was very fast: "The Third Battalion destroyed the Japanese artillery positions and the communication was broken. They came to check the lines! Kill these two Japanese devils, let's look along the line and touch the opposite direction, maybe the big fish is there!"

Dakiya Kuzo sat in the cover of his division command, his face turned pale and sweat kept rolling down his face. But he sat there like a stone statue without speaking. He had known about the failure of the front-line infantry attack. The night attack he had placed great hopes on, and the infantry suffered heavy casualties. He still calmed down and reluctantly accepted it. He was thinking about how to collect reinforcements, strengthen firepower, and bet again. The Japanese people

The morale must be directed towards him, towards the officers and soldiers who fought to the death here. He must fight to the end here! The gambler's personality made him red. Just as he was gritting his teeth and getting angry, gunfire suddenly sounded everywhere inside his position, and the phone kept shaking to the division headquarters, saying that enemy cavalry were attacking in the snow everywhere! The revenge of those Chinese soldiers came so fast! He was busy trying to mobilize the remnants

When the soldiers were searching and suppressing the resistance, gunfire and explosions came from their artillery positions! The cavalry did not let go of this big target! Dashiya Kuzang was completely confused at this time and had no idea. If the artillery was destroyed, the enemy's superior infantry came over and he had no infantry reserves, how could he resist the attack of the Chinese Mongolian army? If the Fifth Division was wiped out here, he would become the biggest sinner since the establishment of the modern Japanese army! Only by dying could he explain to the people! At this time, he had no instructions and orders at all, and let the staff around him go in a mess. He was just staring blankly there, waiting to hear the news that the An Meng army infantry was advancing forward. The Fifth Division would have finished the calculation here! That was the time to sacrifice his country! He had no idea why he had to sacrifice his country on a foreign land.

Just when the atmosphere was in a low and busy state, there were shouts and gunshots from the alert squadron outside the division headquarters. Then the explosion sounded a ball! A stray bullet penetrated through the door of the cover department and hit a staff officer. When he fell down, he brought down a lantern, and the cover department suddenly became dark. Dakiya Kuzo had no idea who touched his house, and the end of the matter was nothing more than a death... Japanese

His mind became stubborn, and sometimes it was indeed a one-way road. Several staff officers and guards set up Dakiya Kuzo in chaos. The lieutenant general division commander, who had a chaotic mind, realized for a while, they wanted to run for themselves! The division commander struggled hard, but he was no match for these young and strong staff officers. He rushed out from the door of the division command and ran farther and farther under the heavy snow. In any case, the Japanese Empire could not bear the death of an active lieutenant general division commander here!

Hou Ming led his company to rush towards the Japanese command, regardless of casualties. They did come over the phone line. They were lucky. But outside the headquarters, there was still a squadron of Japanese soldiers defending! Their cavalry company had already been dispelled and rushed forward regardless of casualties. This goal was so tempting and worthy of their life! Hou Ming tightly pressed his horse back, holding a pack of explosives in his hand. His soldiers opened the way for him and advanced forward with difficulty. The Japanese soldiers' rifles were as fast as raindrops, and a dry machine gun spurted out flames, and a cavalry rushed over and exploded with grenades. After paying considerable casualties, they finally rushed into the cover.

There was a squeaking sound inside, and bullets flew out from the door. A bullet hit Hou Ming's shoulder. His thick body shook, but he sat firmly again. He gritted his teeth and pulled the fuse of the explosive pack. The five kilograms of yellow explosive pack were thrown in from the door: "Damn, go see your grandma!" Hou Ming took the lead and ran out: "Run, let's go back! All work is done!" The huge explosion lifted up the headquarters of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, and the wall made of logs flew dozens of meters away. Hou Ming was almost lifted off the horse, but the commander was only happy now. The commander's three goals, my wolf Juxu regiment, did all! In this battle, our cavalry won!

As the Japanese artillery positions were destroyed by the Langjuxu Cavalry Regiment, the An Meng army's artillery group finally stopped shooting, and the tragic and bloody battle in the sky finally stopped. The heavy wind and snow that had been raging all night gradually stopped with the arrival of the day. The dark clouds quickly dissipated above their heads, as if God was also frightened by the battle.

The An Meng army defended the front line, and the reserve team that reinforced them was eager to try to prepare to counterattack the north bank of the Liao River. However, He Sui stopped it. It was natural for the cavalry to swim and counterattack during the battle, but the infantry advanced to occupy the north bank of the Liao River, but the commander Yu in the rear must be recognized by the commander of Yu in the rear. Before he received the order, he could only defend the defense line on the south bank and welcome the Japanese army to continue attacking. However, now he doubted whether the entire Japanese Kwantung Army still had this power.

The sun came out again, and the white sunlight shone on the battlefield where tens of thousands of soldiers from the two countries fought to the death with steel and flesh. In the end, the determination of the An Meng army overwhelmed the fierceness of the Japanese army. On the front line facing the Tangnu Uliang regiment, from the north bank of the Liao River to the south bank, there were traces of shell explosions, corpses all over the ground, broken limbs and broken arms, ragged clothes, and wreckage of various weapons. Blood and ice in the craters were mixed together, forming the most shrill color. In the trenches where the Tangnu Uliang regiment were almost flat, the corpses had almost filled the trenches. The soldiers of the An Meng army and the Japanese officers and soldiers were piled in this trenches in various postures. The surviving soldiers sat blankly in the pile of corpses, as if they had not realized their victory. At this time, it was difficult to tell whether they were dead or alive.
Chapter completed!
