Chapter 688 It's all Liu Yimin's fault
Chapters 688 are all caused by Liu Yimin
After teaching the small troops of the first battalion of the fourth regiment to attack effectively, Liu Jianli did not order to expand the results of the battle, but ordered the first battalion to control the rhythm of the attack, stick to the devils, and strive to lure the devils to attack and fight the little devils in an ambush.
Liu Jianli wanted to lure the devil into the ambush circle, but Yoji Fujii, the commander of the 38th Division, did not cooperate. This old devil really wants to counterattack and regain the lost position. But Yoji Fujii is a bitter haha in the Japanese army, and his style is more rigorous. He knew that he was facing the troops of the Eighth Route Army, the victorious division that had just eliminated the 14th Division, the 35th Division, and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Hún Brigade, and that the slightest mistake might lead to a catastrophe. Moreover, it was expected that the Japanese army in Shangqiu would be dispatched to flank the Eighth Route Army, but the Japanese army in Shangqiu only held the defensive line and did not move at all. The command of the 12th Army sent a telegram to inquire about it, only to learn that the headquarters of the North China Front Army believed that the Japanese army in eastern Henan was weak and that if it rashly dispatched to flank the Eighth Route Army, it would easily fall into the ambush trap of the Eighth Route Army.
Due to these reasons, after Fujii Yoji led the main force to the battlefield, he did not engage in any roundabout outflanking or surprise attack, but fought steadily, the main force did not move, gathered and reorganized the troops that had been disabled by the Eighth Route Army, contracted the position, organized two infantry brigades to carry out positional offensive and defensive battles with the Eighth Route Army, and waited for the arrival of reinforcements from Xuzhou.
As a result, there was a stalemate on the battlefield, with a small battalion attacking on the side of the Eighth Route Army, and a brigade-sized unit counterattacking on the Japanese side.
Liu Jianli didn't believe that the Japanese army could be so calm, and wanted to wait a little longer to see if the 38th Division would take the bait, but the reconnaissance company reported that the devil's reinforcements had arrived in Dangshan County, and the Japanese army was a mechanized unit, the tanks opened the way, and the cars followed, moving very fast, and began to diverge to the two flanks of the battlefield.
Seeing this scene, Liu Jianli knew that it was time to retreat, and he would have to fight to the death with the devil when it was too late. Therefore, Liu Jianli decisively ordered the main force preparing to fight an ambush to withdraw from the battle in concealment, and the first battalion of the Fourth Regiment continued to fight with the Japanese army, and then quickly evacuated after completing the task of mobilizing the Japanese army in Xuzhou.
By the time the Japanese Second Division and the Fifth Division completed a roundabout outflanking attack in Yangji Town, the Second and Sixth Brigades of the Eighth Route Army had already withdrawn. The little devil braved the wind and snow and rushed all the way from Xuzhou, wasting so much gasoline, and as a result, he could only look at the white land in a daze.
When the Eighth Route Army attacked, the sky shook and the earth was silent, and when it retreated, it was silent. By the time Fujii Yoji found out that the Eighth Route Army had run away, the area around Yangji Town was already very quiet.
Fujii Yoji inspected the Japanese positions occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and not only did not find the seriously wounded and corpses of the Eighth Route Army, but also found that the Eighth Route Army had placed the Japanese corpses neatly, but the Japanese corpses were relatively clean, and only the underwear that was worn was left.
Fujii Yoji is more pragmatic and knows that the reason why the Eighth Route Army stripped off the uniforms and boots of Japanese soldiers was for reuse. In the war, everything that is defeated is the opponent's, and Yoji Fujii sees this very thoroughly.
Yoji Fujii praised the 230th Wing of the Japanese Army guarding Yangji Town, believing that they had made meritorious contributions to holding their positions and had brought glory to His Majesty the Emperor. Although the losses of the 230 Wing were excessive.
Yoji Fujii was not able to continue to praise him, because the 2nd and 5th Divisions caught up and joined him. Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe, commander of the 1st Division who commanded the reinforcements of the Japanese army, also arrived in Dangshan County, and he had to rush back to meet Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe.
After Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe arrived in Dangshan County, he quickly established a headquarters in the county seat, full of hope that the mechanized Second Division and the Fifth Division could surround the Eighth Route Army, and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive and enter the battle, so as to completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army that assaulted Longhai Road and achieve his first fame
Annoyed and angry, Naosaburo Okabe was very unkind to Fujii Yoji, the commander of the 38th Division, who hurried back to Dangshan County to join him, and reprimanded Fujii Yoji for being afraid of the enemy like a tiger, not daring to take the initiative to attack, and entangled the Eighth Route Army, which should be done by military law.
Okabe Naosaburo is a lieutenant general, Fujii Yoji is also a lieutenant general, and Okabe Naosaburo is no longer the chief of staff of the North China Front, so Fujii Yoji is not engaged in the military law to manage his birds
Kuhaha Fujii Yoji stubbornly distinguished: "Gangbu-kun, the Eighth Route Army raided Yangji Town, opened a five-kilometer gap in the east and west of Yangji Town, and the 2nd and 30th Wing suffered heavy losses. It was dark now, it was snowing, the enemy situation was unknown, and the troops on the Shangqiu side did not send out to cooperate. I think that rashly investing the main force of the 38th Division to counterattack the Eighth Route Army is a very irresponsible and reckless move. Moreover, the 38th Division blocked the attack of the Eighth Route Army and killed so many warriors in battle, I think the 38th Division should be rewarded and not insulted"
To tell the truth, the performance of the 38th Division was already very good, fighting to the death and not retreating, showing the Japanese army's bushido spirit of not fearing death. It may be precisely because of the performance of the 38th Division that the Eighth Route Army's attempt to further expand the results of the battle and defeat or eliminate the main force of the 38th Division was dispelled. This is clear to Naosaburo Okabe. However, he braved the wind and snow to drive 160 miles, but was tricked by the Eighth Route Army, and the fire in his heart jumped straight up. Seeing that Fujii Yoji dared to defend himself, Okabe Naosaburo was annoyed, stepped forward, grabbed Fujii Yoji's collar and crackled and fanned it.
As the saying goes, you don't slap people in the face, and you don't expose them when you scold people. If Okabe Naosaburo was still the chief of staff of the North China Front, or if it was just the two of them, Fujii Yoji might have eaten this pot of wine. Now Lieutenant General Toji Yasai, commander of the 2nd Division, Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, who succeeded Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, who was promoted to commander of the 21st Army, as the commander of the 5th Division, and Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsubara, commander of the 23rd Division, are all present
After Naosaburo Gangbe slapped him, he was still angry in his heart, and his mouth was still chattering and insulting: "A unit like the 38th Division is purely a garbage army, wasting precious rice and white flour in vain, and wasting precious gasoline and bullets. If it weren't for such garbage troops, the Great Japanese Army would not have been greatly disgraced in front of the American and European powers, and the Eighth Division would have been shattered because of the reinforcement of the Independent Hún into the 3rd Brigade, and the 14th Division would have been shattered because of the defeat of the 35th Division and the Independent Hún into the 13th Brigade, and the elite divisions of the Great Japanese Army would have been dragged down by these garbage troops sooner or later."
Without waiting for Okabe Naosaburo to say more, Fujii Yoji shouted Baga, and pounced, and threw Okabe Naosaburo to the ground at once, and the two of them rolled on the ground, shouting and scolding each other in their mouths, you punched me and I on the ground.
The commanders of the three Japanese divisions were all as angry as Naosaburo Okabe. The Eighth Route Army ran away, but they couldn't find it. At this time, the sky was full of snow and snow, and the night was not clear, and they did not dare to rashly pursue, who knows where the Eighth Route Army went? Are there big traps waiting for them ahead? But in front of them, it was all the fault of this wilting Fujii Yoji, and if his 38th Division could make a decisive attack and repel the attack of the Tsuchihachi Road, they would not have to suffer such a crime in such bad weather. Even if Fujii Yoji can't defeat the Eighth Route Army, as long as he swings his main force to kill and fight with the Eighth Route Army, it can also buy time for the main force to rush to encircle and annihilate the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, watching the two of Okanabe Naosaburo and Fujii Yoji tearing on the ground, the three commanders of the Japanese division actually pulled away from the shelf, and when they saw that Fujii Yoji had the upper hand, the three of them were you punching me and kicking me, so I had to let Gangbe Naosaburo press Fujii Yoji to the bottom. As soon as they saw that Naosaburo Okabe had the upper hand, the three of them began to sneer at Yoji Fujii and try their best to be sarcastic.
A few old men in their fifties, who were also famous lieutenant generals with heavy troops, fought so hard inside the headquarters that the chiefs of staff, staff officers, and guards outside looked at each other, and no one dared to come in and fight. In the end, Naosaburo Okabe and Yoji Fujii were both exhausted, and the lieutenant general's uniform was torn, and his face was full of blood, so he stopped.
Yoji Fujii, who got up from the ground, turned his grievances into resentment, and even ran to pull out his saber and stabbed him in the abdomen. Before he fell, Yoji Fujii had blood in his mouth and said hatefully to Naosaburo Okabe, "I'm going to Amaterasu to accuse you."
Gangbe Naosaburo is definitely not a reckless man who doesn't know the importance of it, and looking at his methods of entrapping the Han jiāns in Beiping, you can know that this guy is a resourceful person. It's just that the Eighth Route Army has won successive battles, and the Japanese generals are already anxious and anxious when they eat defeats. In addition, he braved the wind and snow to come from Xuzhou and vented all his grievances on Fujii Yoji, which caused this bloody incident that could not be put on the table. If the reporters knew about this, the image that Naosaburo Gangbu had worked so hard to build up would be over
Okabe Naosaburo couldn't care about the dust on his body, and he didn't care about scolding Fujii Yoji anymore, and the knife had already woken him up. He hurriedly ran to Fujii Yoji's side, leaned over to look at the wound, stretched out his finger and tried it on Fujii's nose, raised his head and shouted: "There is still help, quickly, call the military doctor to rescue"
Yasui Fujiji, Imamura Jun, and Komatsubara Michitaro are the same as Naosaburo Okabe, they were originally resentful, and they wanted to show their resentment on Fujii Yoji, but they didn't expect Fujii Yoji to come to this hand, and that knife scared them stupid. It wasn't until Naosaburo Gangbu shouted to call the military doctor that the three of them woke up and ran to the door and shouted at the guards to call the military doctor.
It was also Fujii Yoji that the old devil should not die, and the knife that stabbed him in the abdomen instead of the heart, with the medical level of the Japanese army, he could naturally be saved.
After the military doctors carried Fujii Yoji away, Naosaburo Gangbe sat down on the ground with straight eyes and muttered: "It's all Liu Yimin's fault, it's Liu Yimin's fault."
Yasui Fujiji, Imamura Jun, and Komatsubara Michitaro were all frustrated by Fujii Yoji's knife, and they were all clay sculptures. Naosaburo of the Listening Post Department found out the root cause of the problem, and shouted almost in unison: "It's all Liu Yimin's fault, it's all Liu Yimin's fault."
After shouting, four old devils, look at me, I look at you, my heart is gloomy. Later, Naosaburo Gangbe called the guards to change his military uniform, wiped the lumps on his face with iodine wine, and then began to lead a few people to study the next battle plan together.
During the Battle of Taixi, Naosaburo Gangbu made up his mind that he must completely annihilate Liu Yimin's forces, even if it was a garrison brigade. At that time, if it weren't for the Eighth Route Army Aviation Corps taking the risk of attacking and inflicting heavy losses on the First and Second Divisions, it was very likely that the Luxi Garrison Brigade and the New Sixth Brigade would really be dumplings by the Japanese army. This time, Okabe Naosaburo felt that there was still a chance, and his idea was to let the Guards Division and the armored brigade cooperate to attack on two fronts, completely sweep the southwest of Dàng and the Taixi region, and completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army in these two areas.
Okabe Naosaburo's plan was in line with the operational plan of the base camp and the North China Front Headquarters, and as soon as it was proposed, it was supported by Yasui Fujiji, Imamura Jun, and Komatsubara Michitaro. These old devils, after Fujii Yoji was angry and self-defeating, actually had the same hatred for the enemy, and they couldn't wait to catch Liu Yimin and his troops now and have a decisive battle.
After Naosaburo Gangbu reported his idea to the North China Front Headquarters, he was surprised by the recovery he received, and Commander Shanshanyuan made it clear in the telegram that Suxian was lost, and there was no time to sweep away Dàng Lunan and Taixi for the time being, and Suxian must be recaptured, and asked Gangbe Naosaburo to immediately formulate a plan to recapture Suxian, and command the three divisions of the Kwantung Army to cooperate with the 12th Army and the Bengbu troops of the Central China Front Army to recapture Suxian and open up the Jinpu Road.
Gangbu Naosaburo lamented: "Liu Yimin is very cunning, and he is working in the east and west, and the elite division of the imperial army has been played by him to become a firefighting team." If this battle continues like this, the Japanese Army will be led by Liu Yimin, and the active attack will become a passive beating, which is very terrifying. ”
These words touched the hearts of several Japanese division commanders. The commander of the Fifth Division, Lieutenant General Jun Imamura, immediately suggested a multi-pronged attack to encircle Suxian and completely destroy the Eighth Route Army that had captured Suxian.
Although Imamura Jun did not have many head-to-head exchanges with the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, he knew the glorious history of the Fifth Division, and knew that the main force of the Fifth Division was broken jade in the hands of Liu Yimin, and Lieutenant General Itagaki Seishiro was also ordered to apologize for the disastrous defeat. Now that he is the commander of the Fifth Division, he is bent on seeking revenge on the Eighth Route Army and finding a place for his predecessor.
The commander of the 23rd Division, Michitaro Komatsubara, had suffered a big loss from the Eighth Route Army on the Tokushi Road, and he was apprehensive about the concentrated artillery attack of the Eighth Route Army, and immediately reminded Imamura Jun that he must not divide his troops, Liu Yimin's firepower was strong, and the Eighth Division and the Tenth Division were all eaten by the Eighth Route Army alone. The 14th Division was also broken by each of them because it was separated from the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Brigade. Who knows where Liu Yimin's power is hidden? Maybe Su County is another trap dug by Liu Yimin, and the division of troops may provide Liu Yimin with an opportunity.
Don't look at the little devil's fierce momentum when several divisions are huddled together, in fact, they are completely afraid of the Eighth Route Army in their hearts, and everyone is afraid of dividing their troops.
The commander of the 2nd Division, Toji Yasui, said: "Michikun Komatsubara's suggestion makes sense. At present, a division of the Imperial Army has no advantage over the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and it is in great danger. If the troops are divided, they should also be more than three divisions and regiments along the way, and the spacing should not be too large, so that they can support each other in times of crisis. ”
The thoughts of several division commanders can be seen thoroughly, and he himself is that kind of mind. Therefore, he put forward an idea, that is, to rapidly strengthen the front-line defenders of Bengbu, concentrate the 1st Division, 2nd Division, 5th Division, 6th Division, 16th Division, Guards Division, and armored brigades, and pull a large net in a fan-shaped shape, and rapidly advance from north to south. If the Eighth Route Army sticks to Su County, they will be eliminated in Su County. If the Eighth Route Army fled south, it would destroy them around Bengbu.
As for the 23rd Division, Gangbu Naosaburo's opinion was that by staying on the Longhai Line, he could work with the 38th Division, the 27th Division, and the 114th Division to build a solid defensive line to prevent the Eighth Route Army of Southwest and Southern Lu from moving south to reinforce Liu Yimin, and could also act as a reserve for fighting southward with the 27th Division.
As soon as Okabe Naosaburo's opinion came out, several people applauded, and the six permanent divisions and regiments plus the armored brigade were foolproof. Moreover, Yoji Fujii is being rescued, and it is impossible to perform the duties of the commander of the 38th Division, and a general at the level of division commander is needed to sit in Dangshan to command, so as not to give the Eighth Route Army an opportunity.
Seeing that several people were unanimous, Naosaburo Okabe immediately sent a telegram to Sugi Moto, stating his assumptions, and reporting that Lieutenant General Yoji Fujii took the lead in the battle, engaged in a white-knuckle battle with the Eighth Route Army, was pierced in the abdomen by a bayonet, was seriously injured and could not get out of the line of fire, and finally held the defensive line. With the timely reinforcement of the reinforcements, the Eighth Route Army that broke through the Longhai Road was repulsed and the Longhai Road was opened.
This is the genius of Naosaburo Okabe, he did not say that his fight with Fujii Yoji caused Fujii Yoji to self-harm in shame, but put a high hat on Fujii Yoji, no meritorious, and it was a great merit that created a precedent for the Japanese defenders to defeat the main attack of the Eighth Route Army. Okabe Naosaburo did this, I don't know if it was because he felt guilty or in order to accumulate propaganda materials for those degenerate literati in the pen army, anyway, after Fujii Yoji, who was rescued later, found out, he stroked the medal in his hand, and kept sighing that Lieutenant General Gangbe was really a general with the demeanor of a general
This post is Naosaburo, it seems that he can still be promoted, and the rank of general can't run away.
Dear book friends: I had a mission yesterday, I went out, and I only came back tonight. I'm sorry everyone. Please forgive the mountain people, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. Thank you
