When the time came at noon the next day, the support forces of the two Japanese brigades arrived as scheduled.
After the two brigades arrived at the periphery, they already learned about the surrounding situation and the enemy's defense situation through the cavalry troops who arrived here in advance.
The brigade commander of the 32nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, Minamino Tsuji, took out his white gloves and put them on his hands. Then he slowly raised the telescope in his arms while looking at the encirclement position of the Kagel Cavalry over there. , while saying: "The enemy's defense line is not weak. In terms of firepower configuration, it is no worse than ours!"
Edogawa Junpei next to him said: "The enemy is a circular defense line, which is actually easy to break through, but I want to annihilate this enemy here, so I plan to attack multiple enemy defense lines at the same time, and then cooperate with Nagakawa's new chief of staff to use The high mobility of the cavalry separated and surrounded the enemy in this area.¡±
Minamino seemed to have some mysophobia. After putting down the telescope, he even took out his handkerchief and wiped it.
He replied to Edogawa Junpei: "I think it is better to follow the orders of the Commander-in-Chief. After rescuing the two cavalry regiments, they will move directly to Hohhot in the rear.
His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief said that he always felt that the enemy might attack Hohhot and asked us to fight quickly. "
Edogawa Junpei nodded and said: "This is just an idea. Now I will order the troops to start preparations for combat.
At this time, there are about six hours before dark, enough time for us to organize an attack. "
¡°Subsequently, the Japanese army¡¯s two brigades began to quietly deploy on both wings.
They planned to open two gaps at the same time, and cooperate with the cavalry regiment inside and outside to directly penetrate the enemy's defense line. But what they didn't know was that at this time, on their periphery, the armored vehicles and tanks of the tank regiment had begun to slowly surround them.
At this time, the cavalry regiment led by the Beilun clan leader had about 9,000 people, and a large number of combat trenches had been built around the perimeter. Even outside these trenches, a large amount of barbed wire was pulled out.
These barbed wire fences are connected with wood and have a large number of iron caltrops, mainly to block the Japanese cavalry attack.
After all, the charging speed of cavalry is much faster than that of infantry. If these cavalrymen find a loophole in the defense, without these barbed wire fences to delay the cavalry attack, the enemy may be able to complete the breakthrough of the defense line.
The Japanese army's preparations for war were seen by Beilun.
He didn¡¯t fight many positional battles, but he learned a lot when he fought with Xia Yang. In addition, he also had a large amount of artillery fire support on the periphery, as well as a slowly approaching tank regiment, which made the Beilun chief relax.
According to his order, all the cavalry drove their horses into the deep trenches. Then the cavalry turned into infantry and used the machine guns and mortars they brought, as well as a large number of mines buried on the grass, to block this attack. A Japanese attack.
The Japanese army prepared for combat very quickly, mainly because their soldiers marched long distances and needed a short rest.
After this group of Japanese soldiers recharged their batteries, they began to form a formation and approach the cavalry regiment's position.
They advanced to about five hundred meters away from here and stopped.
And their mortars and field artillery were already aimed at Beilun and their positions.
"Fire!!!" With a roar, the Japanese field artillery began to fire shells onto the cavalry regiment's position.
Most of the soldiers in the cavalry regiment were veterans who had experienced real battles. At this time, most of them entered their own foxholes or trenches when facing the Japanese bombardment.
The Japanese army¡¯s brigade-level field guns have a small caliber, basically small guns of about 60 mm. The range of this kind of field artillery is not very long, and its power is not very powerful.
But for the Chinese army, which lacked artillery at the time, it was already considered a big killer. They used these small-caliber artillery to suppress the Chinese army for a long time in small-scale battles.
Beilun was hiding in the trench, listening to the explosion of artillery shells outside, and said to the staff officer next to him: "I said, these cannons of the little devils are not good. I saw the test firing of the howitzers of our howitzer regiment before, and they were much more powerful than theirs. "
The staff officer next to him smiled and said: "Of course, the little devil uses a 60mm gun, and the caliber is not half as big as our howitzer, so the power of the shells is naturally much worse."
Beilun said with a smile: "The little devils will bombard us with artillery. Let them have a taste later. We can use howitzers."The power. "
The soldiers hiding in the trenches were also in a more relaxed mood. Because these small-caliber artillery pieces of the Japanese army had a limited effect on them.
After all, during the exercise, the scene when the howitzers fired volleys was much more shocking than the current artillery volleys fired by the little devils.
A group of soldiers were hiding in the trench, calculating the time for the Japanese artillery bombardment.
Because it was a temporary support operation, the two Japanese brigades did not carry too many artillery shells. So they just stopped the bombardment after hitting two bases.
At this time, the infantry had already begun to rush towards this side.
Most of the Mongolian grasslands are flat terrain, with only a few gentle slopes. The Japanese soldiers stepped on the grass and attacked this side under the cover of heavy machine guns from the rear.
Seeing the Japanese infantry getting closer and closer, the Beilun chief put down the binoculars in his hands, and then shouted: "The heavy machine guns will open fire immediately, and at the same time, guard against the cavalry regiment of the two little devils. They will probably also launch a charge."
As the Beilun chief said, the two Japanese cavalry regiments had already completed their assembly during the artillery bombardment.
They had already contacted the 32nd Brigade and the 12th Brigade through radio before.
After the two sides agreed on the combat plan, they have determined two directions of attack. Nagakawa Shin needed to have 4,000 cavalrymen from two cavalry regiments to cooperate with the Japanese army from two directions at the same time.
As long as they penetrate the enemy's position, their battle will be considered a success.
For them, this is not a difficult task.
Because although the cavalry regiment's position took two days to build, their position was not deep enough and there were no permanent fortifications.
Nagakawa is confident that with only one group charge, he and his soldiers can easily break through the enemy's defense line.
The infantry of the two Japanese brigades took the lead in engaging the cavalry regiment.
Those infantrymen originally thought that they would encounter a very serious fire blockage during the charge. However, they rushed to within a hundred meters without encountering any resistance.
