Chapter 766: Poor Kou Mo Force
The Paishi sniper battle ended with the retreat of 184. After that, the Dian army was mainly used to carry out the Yangxin Resistance Battle and the Chongyang Defense Battle. However, the 184th Division is the elite of the Dian Army, and the rest are recruits, and the 184th Division is no longer able to fight, whether these recruits can withstand the tens of thousands of tigers and wolves of the Japanese army.
After the Paishi Resistance Battle, when the Yangxin Resistance Battle was about to be launched, at this critical juncture, the chairman of the committee actually carried out a major reorganization of the Dian Army.
Lu Han's 60th Army and Sun Du's 58th Army were combined to form the 30th Army, and Lu Han appointed the corps commander and Gao Huaiyin as the deputy corps commander.
Subsequently, the 183rd Division of the 60th Army and the New 12th Division of the 58th Army were combined to form the New Third Army, and Zhang Chong was appointed as the commander. It would be highly unwise to carry out a substantial restructuring of the forces at this critical juncture.
In the end, the 60th Army, the 58th Army, and the New Third Army were once again combined into the First Group Army, with Long Yun as the commander of the group army, but not long after, Lu Han was the commander of the group army. However, Lu Han suffered an appendicitis attack and went to Changsha for surgery, but the disease lasted for two years, and the troops were handed over to Gao Huaiyin.
(PS: Does it take two years to cut an appendix?) It's just that someone put a cotton ball in Luján's stomach and made him sick for a long time. It was only after two years that I found out that I was able to recover when I took it out. )
The troops were leaderless, and the generals at all levels did not obey anyone. The contradiction between Gao Huaiyin and Zhang Chong also became more and more intense, which laid the groundwork for Zhang Chong's subsequent resignation.
Shao Fei led the team to the guerrilla station of the Eighth Route Army, and when he learned that Gao Yi was not dead, Shao Fei cried with joy. But for some reason, Shao Fei left with his special combat team. didn't even give a word of explanation, leaving the troops to Gao Yi.
Perhaps only the pillar and the knife know why. Zhu Zi knew in his heart that the days when he and the squad leader Shao Fei were together were numbered.
Originally, in the guerrilla station, Shao Fei did everything as usual. When he learned that a mysterious and powerful team had appeared in the Fifth War Zone north of the Yangtze River, and a star was rising, his whole person changed. resolutely led the special combat team away.
There is not much time left for Shao Fei, he must get all the things done as soon as possible and make a conclusion.
The battle to block the market was over, but the anti-Japanese beacon fire never stopped. The Battle of Wanjialing has reached its climax. Almost all the eyes of the people are focused on Wanjialing.
Xue Yue was confident and vowed to completely annihilate a division of the Japanese army to make up for the regret that he failed to completely annihilate the Tufeiyuan Division in the Battle of Lanfeng.
The chairman of the committee was full of confidence in Xue Yue, and ordered Xue Yue to completely annihilate the 106th Division in Songpu on the "Double Tenth Festival" in order to boost the morale of the whole country to resist Japan.
Lieutenant General Okamura sent the Songpu Division into the 200,000-strong army of Xue Bing, not without considering the steepness of this. However, a division of Tufeiyuan could oppose Xue Yue's 100,000 troops in Lanfeng; The 6th Inaba Division was able to break through Li Pinxian's 100,000 army in Jiangbei. Okamura must believe that the 106th Division in Songpu should also be able to complete its mission.
But Okamura overlooked one point. The Nanxun line in October is no longer the Lanfeng in May, and Lieutenant General Songpu is by no means the fierce Inaba Shiro. Okamura's dangerous move not only sent the more than 10,000 elite soldiers who had just been replenished by Songpu to hell, but also almost ruined himself and left the military world with infamy.
The Japanese can tolerate a fierce general who does all kinds of evil, but they will never tolerate a defeated general.
In the battle of Wanjialing, Xue Yue forced the Songpu division into a desperate situation. He wants to launch an external offensive in the inner line, be more free, and eat the Songpu division more freely. In Xue Yue's words: Taierzhuang is just the beginning of glory, and he wants to continue this glory.
Arrogance is a taboo for soldiers, but Xue Yue seems to be starting to be arrogant. He didn't believe that it was impossible for his hundreds of thousands of elites to not be able to eat a B division of the Japanese army.
The enemy in despair is the most terrifying, Liu Sheng understands this truth, and Shao Fei also understands this truth. Poor Kou Mo is forced, but Xue Yue doesn't believe in this evil. Soon, he realized the true meaning of "poor and hard", and the ancestor was really not playing with words.
Beginning on October 2, the 100,000 Chinese troops who had reached the Wanjialing area attacked from all sides and began to attack the various units of the Songpu Division trapped in the core. Thereinto:
Ou Zhen of the 4th Army led the 90th Division to attack the northeast of Xiaojinshan and Wanjialing;
The 58th Division of Feng Shengfa of the 74th Army attacked the enemy at Shima Cliff, Dunshangguo, and Wangjiashan;
142 regiments of the 15th Division attached to the new 15th Division attacked the enemy at Shibao Mountain;
The 1st Brigade of the 91st Division of the 6th Pre-Division attacked the areas east of Doumuling, Ma'anshan, and Fenghuang Mountain, and with the cooperation of friendly forces, attacked the enemy at Wangjialing at the northern end of Shibao Mountain;
The 91st Division assisted in the attack of the 6th Division and cut off the enemy's northern route;
The new 13th Division surrounded the enemy's flank northwest of Shibao Mountain with 1 regiment;
……
The fighting spirit of the armies of all walks of life is strong under the condition that they have an absolute superiority in strength. The attacking forces of all stripes made considerable gains and advanced step by step. The encirclement is shrinking step by step.
But at the same time, Xue Yue also tasted the power of the Songpu Division that was forced to a dead end. Among them, especially the 58th Division of Feng Shengfa of the 74th Army of Yu Jishi, who was left behind by the original disobedience, suffered the greatest losses.
At the beginning of October, when Songpu found out that it was besieged, the first two days were calm. Commander Okamura had assured him that the 101st Division would break through the Dean Line and support the 106th Division behind the flanks. However, after Songpu held out for two days, it was found that Ito's 101st Division was blocked by the Chinese army in front of the position and did not advance a single step. Only then did he panic and decided to break through.
The breakthrough point of Songpu happened to be the Zhanggushan position held by Feng Shengfa's 58th Division. At this time, Xue Yue pushed Feng Shengfa into the oil pot.
During the day, the bombers sent by Okamura to help Songpu relieve the siege flew over the position one after another.
Bombs and incendiary bombs rained down like raindrops, and the flying shrapnel and raging fire engulfed the positions of the defenders at the foot of Zhanggu Mountain and the officers and men of the 58th Division who were fighting. In less than a day, all that remained of the entire position was scorched earth and bare hillsides, and the fortifications were long gone.
Division Commander Feng Shengfa made a difficult mistake this time. Without mountains and forests, without fortifications, how can this bare hillside be defended?
One and a half of the four wings of Songpu were coming at him, and coupled with the ferocious artillery fire and bombs falling from the sky, it was difficult for even an ant to survive on the position. Xue Yue asked him to increase his troops, didn't he let him come to death?
Feng Shengfa pleaded with the army commander Yu Jishi for the first time, wanting the troops to withdraw to the first line of positions. But he was sternly stopped by Yu Jishi.
"Absolutely not! Master Feng, you can't retreat a single step! If you retreat, if you let Songpu go, the chairman of the committee will not be able to spare you, and he will not be able to spare me! Concentrate the troops behind the positions, on the ground in batches. In short, the position must not be lost! ”
Feng Shengfa had no choice but to adopt the tactic of adding fuel and moving up the position in battalions and regiments. Within two days, his 1 division was basically reimbursed.
The remnants of the 113th Wing of Kesongpu are still rushing upward, and the combined strength of the defenders is only 500 people, and the situation is critical.
Next to the collapsed division headquarters, Master Feng Sheng hugged the telephone and wept bitterly, and even called Yu Ji for help. The army commander Yu Jishi almost became the commander of the light pole at this moment, and there were no troops to adjust at all. Thinking of Xue Yue's harsh orders, and thinking of Chairman Jiang's concern about the battle situation, he gritted his teeth and called the commander of the guard battalion.
"How many soldiers do you have?"
"2 companies."
"Leave 1 squad here, and you take the rest with you and go to the 58th Division to reinforce Division Commander Feng. Go to the warehouse and get some more machine guns, and tell Division Commander Feng that if you lose your position, don't come to see me! ”
"But the military department ......" The commander of the guard battalion just wanted to plead, but Yu Jishi waved his hand impatiently and said: "Go quickly, you must guard Zhang Gushan for me!" ”
On the Zhanggushan position, the 58th Division was at the end of its rope and could only desperately resist the last man of the Dao.
At this time, nearly 100 Japanese troops had rushed into the position and fought for the position with the last troops of the 58th Division.
"Kill~" "Kill~" "......"
At this critical moment, the officers and men of the guard battalion arrived in time with a roar and quickly joined the counterattack. Nearly 100 Japanese soldiers died on the position, and only a few escaped.
Feng Shengfa lost the whole division, but he stuck his mouth. The attempt of the Songpu division to break through was crushed.
On October 8, more than half of the Songpu Division suffered casualties, and it was obviously impossible to break through to the outside. In desperation, he could only turn to the defense on the spot and wait for help.
After all, the 74th Army is the trump card in the lineage, and the ace is really afraid of three points.
In the battle of Wanjialing, Xue Yue's arrogance almost followed the mistake of Lan Feng again. Fortunately, Yu Jishi is not Gui Yongqing. Although Yu Jishi was arrogant, and no one was willing to help him in the battle east of Wanjialing, he was still a capable general. On the battlefield front of the 74th Army alone, more than 4,000 Japanese troops were killed and wounded.
