Chapter 384 Blocking Operation (3)

At around 2 pm on April 9, the guards led by the "Divine Detachment" Huang Congli, Lu Liwei and others launched an attack on the 19th Japanese Regiment on the way.

Because this battle was designed to train troops and test the strength of the PLA's combat effectiveness, the General Staff of the PLA required the elite guards in the regular PLA troops to fight a relatively "fair" battle with the Japanese army.

In addition, the terrain from Shentou Village to Kunsha Town is relatively open and there is no favorable location for ambushing by large troops.

Therefore, the Guards decided to adopt a strategy of four-sided attack during the Japanese army's march to fight a good battle with the Japanese army. See which one can defeat the main force of the People's Liberation Army, which is stronger than the Japanese army.

At around 12 noon on April 9, the 1st Division of the Guard Army arranged a battalion and a heavy machine gun company to set up an ambush in the slightly narrow terrain in front. Other troops were deployed according to the predetermined plan and slowly marched along with the 19th Japanese Regiment from afar.

The 2nd Division of the Guard Army is distributed behind the 1st Division to prevent timely reinforcements when unexpected situations occur. In addition, the 2nd Division is also responsible for capturing Japanese fugitives when the battle begins.

At around 2:20 pm, the vanguard of the 19th Regiment entered the ambush circle, and Zhu Yixuan, the commander of the 1st Division who was guarding the place, issued an order to attack, and the troops immediately advanced and attacked.

In addition, the troops used mortars to launch continuous attacks on various marching echelons of the 19th Regiment, causing the Japanese army to fall into the middle for a while.

The commander of the 19th Regiment, Jiro Kameda, was in a hurry and commanded the troops as they were determined. While ordering the troops to fight back and quickly gather together, they ordered the troops to move to several nearby small villages to resist the fierce attacks of the enemy.

However, the number of the 1st Division of the Guard Army was three times that of the 19th Regiment. It was a surprise attack while the Japanese army was unprepared. How could it be possible for the Japanese army to assemble as they wished.

Soon, the mountain artillery squadron of the 19th Regiment, which was first taken care of by the Guards' mortar, was blown to pieces and completely lost the ability to counterattack.

Not long after, the three infantry brigades of the 19th Regiment were roughly divided and surrounded.

Among them, the infantry brigade that was walking in the front was the most casualties due to the targeted scanning of more than a dozen heavy machine guns by the guards who had already ambushed the roadside.

Soon, the brigade was beaten to lose its system and fled in scattered areas, collapsed completely until it was completely wiped out.

The two subsequent brigades have relatively better situations.

Under the command of commanders such as Kameda Jiro, the two brigades not only had the strength to counterattack with their strong combat power and good reaction ability. In addition, the two brigades also attempted to gather to move to the nearby small village.

The 1st Division of the Guard Army carried out fierce side strikes and blockades on the Japanese army who were trying to escape from all directions, and the battle was extremely fierce.

At around 6 pm, the 19th Regiment lost the entire mountain artillery squadron and the brigade that was walking in the front.

Although the other two brigades were also hit hard, with the efforts of commanders such as the corps leader Kameda Jiro and others, using a gap in the guards' encirclement, the remaining personnel of the two brigades finally broke through the encirclement and fled to an abandoned village nearby.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened.

Since the Japanese army almost lost all the mountain cannons and heavy machine guns, and less than half of the remaining personnel, the guards were sure to win, so they no longer took the risk of attacking overnight.

After discussion, the commander Huang Congli ordered the 1st Division of the Guard Army, who had fought for an afternoon, to retreat and rest, and asked the main force of the 2nd Division, who was eager to fight, to surround the small village where the Japanese army was located, and prepare to launch another attack the next day.

In addition, other troops of the 2nd Division continued to guard while encircling and annihilation of the remaining Japanese squads and arresting Japanese soldiers who were left alone during the battle.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the corps commander Kameda Jiro commanded his troops to set up defenses in the small village. Then, he asked his officers to count the number of people, an infantry corps of more than 4,000 people, leaving only more than 1,400 people.

Thinking of his complacent comrades and subordinates who were sacred before setting out for the battle, they all died in front of them, Kameda Jiro couldn't help but burst into tears.

However, seeing that the damn enemy troops did not pursue the victory and allowed themselves to command their troops to set up fortifications, Jiro Kameda was very glad.

Since the people who attacked their corps in the afternoon were all Chinese troops with black eyes and yellow skin. Moreover, the opponent not only had high accuracy cannons, but also heavy machine guns.

Therefore, Kameda Jiro concluded that the enemy in front of him was the main force of Indonesia's xenophobic army.

Therefore, Kameda Jiro was very worried about his current situation and was afraid that he would not be able to defend, so he would repeat the mistakes of the Seventh Regiment and become the second Japanese Regiment destroyed by Indonesia's xenophobic Army.

Of course, if it weren't for the hasty escape of the 19th Regiment and the loss of heavy weapons and equipment such as artillery and a large amount of logistics supplies, Kameda Jiro would not think that the Indonesian xenophobic army had the strength to conquer the small villages they guarded.

After some deep thought, Kameda Jiro summoned the remaining Japanese commanders and pointed out in public that the intention of Indonesia's xenophobic army to fight was to annihilate the 19th Regiment.

Therefore, Kameda Jiro ordered commanders at all levels to do their best in their subordinate troops, inspire the morale of the soldiers, and command them to continue to fight bravely.

Jiro Kameda also encouraged the commanders that as long as their more than 1,400 people can work together, they will definitely be able to hold on in this small village for more than 3 days, attracting the main force of the Indonesian xenophobic army led by the Chinese.

Within a few days, not only will the subsequent regiments of the 9th Division continue to be reinforced, but the Japanese Expeditionary Force headquarters will definitely see this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and allow the subsequent large troops to seize and annihilate the main force of the Indonesian xenophobic army.

At that time, the 19th Regiment, which is the main force of the Indonesian xenophobic army, will become the biggest contributor.

Kameda Jiro's fantasy was quite reasonable, and he successfully impressed the Japanese commanders, making these low-spirited Japanese commanders scream as if they were excited.

The Japanese commanders assured Jiro Kameda that they would firmly implement Kameda's orders and ideas, and encourage their soldiers to fight bravely and severely attack the Indonesian xenophobic army that was about to launch an attack.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Chen Hao, who was at the Kunsha Town Command, received the battle report and was furious.

Because the Guards did not completely divide the 19th Regiment in the afternoon field battle, the remaining personnel of the two brigades of the 19th Regiment fled into the small village. Moreover, the Guards commanders did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the battle and allowed the Japanese army to build fortifications.

Therefore, Chen Hao generated electricity and criticized the underestimation of several commanders of the Guard Army.

However, after learning that the Japanese army had lost a large amount of logistics supplies and could only defend for about 3 days at most, Chen Hao could only accept this fact.
