Chapter 361 Diary: Chen is a poor commander, and the 1st phase cannot defeat the 4th phase
The siege began quickly, and the troops of the Manchurian Democratic Alliance were the first to press into the small stronghold outside the city.
Responsible for holding the position were two battalions of the security regiment and a main company of the 2th Division.
After the destruction of the 87th Division, the 88th Division only managed to recover two regiments of troops. With its strength greatly reduced, it had to rely on the main force + security regiment's tactics.
Two battalions and one company of troops are stationed at Siping Airport.
As for the attacking side, the one in charge of the command was Biao Ge's top general Duohua, who gave priority to arranging troops to attack the airport.
The fighting capacity of the defenders was weak, and the security corps was not a real main force, so its fighting capacity was not very strong and it could not resist the attack of the troops at all.
On the day of the attack, the airport defenders were successfully captured.
This formed a deeper encirclement, cutting off the enemy's aircraft's chance to land.
After taking the airport, he ordered a general attack.
The forces of seven divisions pressed forward towards the city from all directions. The coordination between the artillery and the infantry was insufficient, and the headquarters suddenly received a new order requiring all artillery to move forward.
Push as close as you can, press forward and aim directly.
The infantry troops retreated three miles and waited for orders to continue the attack.
It goes without saying that Ding Wei has arrived. He took a train and then a car to reach the front line, and he was annoyed by the troops' chaotic artillery attacks.
Simple infantry-artillery coordination must be done well. Since the artillery level is not high enough, use direct aiming to fire.
The defenders in the city have few artillery pieces, so they can just press forward and fire directly.
Leave some time for the attack, when the artillery fire stops, the troops should rush to the front line.
You need to be familiar with the range and power of various types of artillery in order to coordinate more precisely. This is a skill that all regiment leaders on the front line should have. Only by understanding artillery can you achieve good infantry-artillery coordination.
"You should really let your column launch the main attack. The difference in combat effectiveness is not only reflected in weapons and equipment, but more in the training background of the soldiers."
Listening to Brother Biao's words, Ding Wei waved his hand.
"The national army will definitely counterattack, and it is more appropriate to use elite troops to block the attack. Besides, the fighting capacity of the defenders in the city is poor, and our troops must learn to fight tough battles and adapt to siege warfare."
"The entire Northeast will have to fight a tough battle in the future, and experience will be accumulated through experimentation."
Although he said he was thinking about everyone, in reality Ding Wei still had to take the reward for the sniper attack.
There are three columns coming to block the attack. Even if Fengtian arranges only one company, as long as the battle breaks out, the reward for blocking the attack can be triggered.
Returning to the front battlefield, the artillery fire caused heavy casualties to the city defense forces.
They took the opportunity to press forward into the city, with continuous sound of gunfire.
When the latest battle reports reached Fengtian and Nanjing, Niang Xipi finally realized that the situation was not good and agreed to let the 53rd Army enter the Northeast region to enhance its mobility.
Urge Fengtian to arrange reinforcements to support the 71st Army in combat.
At this time, the 71st Army also had more than people, but these people had just been incorporated into the army and their combat effectiveness was very limited.
Chen Mingren was a bit of a talent. Relying on a group of reorganized personnel with little combat effectiveness, he fought the column very well.
This was due to the fact that the troops had no experience in siege warfare, and also because Commander Chen had good command.
There is still a gap in the strength of the two sides. The combat effectiveness of the security team, public security personnel, police station, and action team is too poor. They can only catch thieves and mistresses at ordinary times.
If it is really used in siege warfare, the casualties will be huge.
One after another, troops captured positions and broke into the city walls, forming a mutually coordinated offensive.
Street fighting is the most difficult part of siege warfare. The complex and ever-changing environment and the crises that can be found everywhere will also cause a sharp increase in the number of casualties on the attacking side.
After a day of fierce fighting, some gains were made, but the enemy was well deployed and repelled several attacks.
Niang Xipi was anxious inside, but she calmly sat down and wrote in her diary, saying that Chen was a poor commander, and although he had 30,000 to 40,000 men under his command, he allowed the enemy to enter the city within one day.
At present, the city is still under control, which is a blessing in disguise.
At dawn the next day, the siege was launched again.
The street fighting was extremely fierce. Although the troops at his disposal were weak in combat effectiveness, Chen Mingren still managed to achieve good defensive results.
Complex alleys were used to form one defensive position after another.
The battle for lost streets and houses took turns.
The offensive war turned into a battle for control.
Inside the headquarters, Ding Wei ordered millet porridge with pickles, and Brother Biao opposite him did the same.
He drank the porridge in small sips, but his eyes were on the battle map, and I don't know what he was thinking about.
Ding Wei waited for reinforcements for a long time and finally saw some signs of them. Three divisions of troops were dispatched from Fengtian and pushed northward.
The New First Army that escaped the encirclement and the New Sixth Army's mobile force all pressed towards the north.
The latest order came from Nanjing, requiring all troops to support northward, charge hard and fight hard to break the siege of Siping.
Knowing that Ding Wei's column was surrounding the point and attacking the reinforcements, the main force of the National Army still had to press northward.
This kind of battle does not involve any conspiracy, it all depends on who has more Shoushan cards.
The reinforcements arrived in Changtu area first and met Wang Tao's column.
The heavy machine guns fired first, and the bullets rained down like raindrops.
The main force of the National Army counterattacked northward like crazy, gave up the attack on South Manchuria, and all the mobile forces were withdrawn to advance towards Siping in batches.
"It's really enjoyable. It's really enjoyable."
Kong Jie's column encountered a second force. The New First Army pressed northward and encountered Kong Jie's column in the west of Changtu.
The troops collided and fought.
The firing of guns and artillery continued, and the smoke of gunfire filled the air instantly.
The battlefield actually shifted from a siege to a blocking battle, with multiple divisions of troops pressing forward from the front to ease the crisis in Siping.
For the first time, Chen Mingren was a little touched.
Fuck, in all these years, I haven’t seen my colleagues support me so wholeheartedly.
He has always been as unmoved as a mountain when friendly forces are in trouble.
This time, Niang Xipi personally issued the order, urging the troops to move north. This is truly a critical moment for survival, how can we hesitate?
Ding Wei also made adjustments at the same time. The three columns in the front direction remained unchanged. The main forces of the three columns of Kong Jie, Kong Yong and Wang Tao pressed in the south of Siping, firmly guarding the railway line.
Defenses were deployed along the Changtu area, and they cooperated with each other in protection.
With more than 1 troops in three columns, the New Sixth Army and the New st Army alone could not break through.
At the same time, Zhang Dabiao's column was mobilized to the southeast of Shuangliao, and Gao Qing's column was mobilized to Xifeng. They observed the battlefield from the left and right and delivered supporting firepower.
It forms a V-shaped defense, more like an extra-large pocket formation.
Siping South Blocking Battle
The five columns have a strength of more than 20 troops, and there are also four howitzer regiments to support them. With such a defensive lineup, who can break it?
Ding Wei's attention shifted from the city to the blocking battle, and he was slightly shocked. With such a large-scale blocking battle, the system reward would surely soar.
The column is equipped with a number of tanks and armored vehicles, including both its own BT-7 fast tanks and captured Japanese Type 97 medium tanks.
Faced with the charging Kuomintang troops, they actually launched several counterattacks.
The defense is made of iron barrels and steel plates. No matter how fierce your charge is, you will stop here.
Shells were fired due south, repelling several attacks.
The bomb craters connected together, making the ground bumpy.
The main force of the Nationalist army was still quite capable of fighting, and other troops might not be able to withstand it. But Ding Wei was determined to fight a blocking attack and mobilized a large number of artillery shells.
The artillery fired continuously and the roar of artillery continued.
The Katyusha rocket launcher appeared again, covering the attacked area with fire.
The whizzing rockets instantly covered the battlefield.
