Chapter 511: Flee Without a Trace
Recommended Reading: "General, the special attack team was wiped out, and even the captain Yamazaki was seriously injured, and Lu Yuan was severely damaged, but this guy is too strong and cunning, and because of this guy's raid, the national sentiment of the rebels in China has been completely stimulated, and the underground armed forces in China are supporting them in various ways, although our side has dispatched a total of nearly 10,000 people to conduct a carpet search around the Niushou Mountain Range, and still lost the trace of Lu Yuan......"
"A part of the independent regiment of the Sichuan Army that attacked Jinghai, under the response of the resistance organizations in the area of Yongqing County, has also jumped out of the last encirclement of our side and disappeared without a trace, and our side has lost more than 20 imperial soldiers, more than 110 imperial army, and countless ...... of supplies."
"Another part of the independent regiment of the Sichuan army that escaped from the warship, in the area of Daying Town and the imperial alliance army led by Yamashita Shaozo had a fierce battle, although Yamashita Shaozo commanded Ruoding, but helplessly these Zhina army after plundering my Tianjin port after the firepower surged, Yamashita Shaozo desperately attacked, still escaped by them, Yamashita Shaozo lost nearly fifty imperial soldiers, more than 170 people of the imperial army, most of them, either killed by the intensive bombardment of grenadiers, or were killed by mines planted by the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment on the way to pursuit... …”
The secret report officer read out one battle report after another, and when he heard these news, General Terauchi Shouichi, Lieutenant General Nishio Shouzo, and all the senior generals were all pale, and their teeth were gritted!
However, the independent regiment of the Sichuan Army, which has more than 1,000 people, has turned hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the empire and the Tianjin area garrisoned by the Imperial Association Army into a pot of porridge, losing more than 3,000 recruits, as well as a viewing group composed of members of the famous royal family and chaebol members, as well as ammunition and materials worth nearly 10 million yuan on the port, such a huge loss is simply unprecedented since the rise of the empire, and it is simply the greatest shame of the empire!
"Hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of transfers and deployments, in addition to the fact that the Yamazaki squad has hit Lu Yuan for so many days, there is no way to completely take the small force of more than 1,000 people of the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment, I want to ask, the commanders of the troops in the Tianjin area are all eating. Did grow up? Shouichi Terauchi roared with a hideous face.
If officers at all levels in North China heard such an angry rebuke, they would definitely cry out with grievances - although the number of independent regiments of the Sichuan Army was pitiful, their equipment was not worse than that of the elite troops of the Japanese army, and they were well-trained and had a high fighting spirit, and even if the general troops far exceeded them, they would often be crippled by them in a very short period of time!
But if you deliberately mobilize elite troops with a large amount of equipment to encircle, it will definitely slow down the team's marching speed, and the other party will definitely run faster than wild dogs, and will not give people a chance to see their faces at all, and the tactics are really despicable to the extreme.
Not to mention the sporadic resistance forces, although the strength is weak, but from time to time they rush out and take a bite, which is really annoying.
Now to describe the mood of the Japanese army and the puppet army in Tianjin in one sentence, they will definitely say, it's not that our army is too incompetent, it's really that the guys of the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment are too cunning!
"These guys are marching like the wind, but they have plundered so many supplies in Jinghai and Tanggu Port, where did these supplies go? With these supplies, how did they manage to move them quickly? Nishio Shouzo couldn't help but ask.
Even the informant couldn't answer, and no one knew where the supplies went.
Compared with the war situation in North China, the offensive in the Taierzhuang area made the entire military department more worried.
After all, the 10th Division led by Nagase Valley Kai completely occupied Taierzhuang with superior artillery fire, and Sun Lianzhongbu, who was firmly guarding Taierzhuang, led thousands of remnants to evacuate, thinking that the war would be completely controlled in the hands of his own side from here.
But I never expected that Tang Enbo's department, which had been afraid of the battle before, actually rushed out of the deep mountains and old forests, surrounded the exhausted 10th Division in Taierzhuang, and the surrounding Zhina troops also launched a large-scale counterattack, launching an unprecedented crazy attack on the 10th Division, intending to eat the 10th Division in one fell swoop!
Within a few days, the 10th Division suffered extremely heavy casualties and had to call for help from the command.
In order to avoid the possibility of the Yagu Division being completely annihilated, Terauchi Shouichi ordered the Itagaki Division to attack the outer flank of the encirclement to attract the attention of Tang Enbo's department, and the 10th Division also took the opportunity to storm outward, and finally broke through.
At this point, the Battle of Xuzhou has come to an end.
The whole battle lasted for two or three months, and more than 50,000 Japanese troops and more than 200,000 Chinese troops engaged in hundreds of fierce firefights in the Xuzhou area, among which the offensive and defensive battles in Yishui, Tengxian, and Taierzhuang were the most tragic.
In this battle, more than 80,000 Chinese people were directly killed, and more than 10,000 Japanese troops were annihilated.
In the eyes of the Japanese side, they completed their strategic tasks and took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield, and whether it was battle damage or battlefield layout and transfer, they were within the controllable range from beginning to end, so they were the victors.
However, in the eyes of the Nationalist Government, as well as Chen Zhibo, who directly commanded the battle, the Chinese army is undoubtedly the real winner of this battle centered on Taierzhuang!
Although the casualties were huge, the Chinese army forced the Japanese troops to flee in panic for the first time in a frontal battlefield, and almost annihilated the 10th Division, severely damaged the Itagaki Division, and annihilated more than 10,000 enemies, which was definitely the biggest victory since the start of the war!
The great victory of Taierzhuang spread all over this land of suffering, and the people of the country were greatly excited, and many people found out for the first time that maybe we really have the possibility of defeating the little devils.
Wang Mingzhang and the Sichuan army led by him once again became the strongest force in this battle, and they practiced their bold words when they left Sichuan and went to the national disaster in a way that almost all the army was wiped out - we Sichuan people, never live up to the country, as long as there is a breath of air, as long as the little devil is still on our land for a day, our Sichuan army will fight with them to the end, and will never be sloppy!
Unlike both sides of the enemy, who thought that they had won the Battle of Xuzhou, the results of the Sichuan Army's independent regiment in the area of Tianjin, as well as the Eighth Route in the area of Tianjin, poured out behind the enemy and attacked all parts of Datong and Zhangjiakou, but there was no doubt that it was a complete victory, an indisputable victory!
However, the Japanese army will never admit that the Sichuan Army led by Lu Yuan has inflicted heavy losses on them, even if even the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army and Lieutenant General Kazuki Seiji and so many big figures are dead and missing, but in their propaganda, this is an extremely serious and despicable public security incident!
