Chapter Eighty-Five: Chaotic War
7.85 Chaos War
"Bench! The outer positions have been beaten into a pot of porridge, and the Isogu Division is really hard stubble! Xie Wendong's 188th Division suffered a lot of losses! Shouldn't the troops on the periphery give way? After all, there is a lack of strong fortifications in Luobei and Lancheng, and our artillery is also concentrated in Taierzhuang, and it is impossible to exchange people for Japanese steel! ”
In the headquarters of the 25th Group Army in Hanjiasi, Fan Jie took several of the latest battle reports and made suggestions to Huang Haoran with some concern. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Huang Haoran knew that Fan Jie said this and felt sorry for the 188th Division, since Cao Fulin's 55th Army joined the 25th Group Army, Huang Haoran's strength in his hands has increased to 8 divisions and 1 brigade. Whether it is ranked according to the combat effectiveness of the troops and the loyalty of the troops to Huang Haoran, Xie Wendong's 188th Division can be ranked in the top four, although it is obviously inferior to Qian Guoliang's 99th Division and Li Yuhe's 139th Division, but it is indistinguishable from Wu Jianping's 121st Division.
Before the Battle of Taierzhuang entered the main stage, the 25th Group Army consumed the 188th Division, the fourth infantry division within the group army, on the peripheral battlefield, such a result was completely unacceptable to Fan Jie!
"Chief of Staff Fan, I know your thoughts very well! Now let the 188th Division retreat, we have preserved our strength, but what about Chifeng City in Zhuangzi? Although Tang Enbo said that it only takes the 31st Division to hold out in Taierzhuang for three days, I don't believe it! ”
Huang Haoran stood by the wall and looked at the map of the Taierzhuang area thoughtfully, and what he said made Fan Jie completely unable to refute. Like Huang Haoran, Fan Jie didn't believe that Commander Tang could make up his mind to attack the Japanese army, and what Tang Enbo said in Taierzhuang and Chifeng City was probably still unreliable!
"With Chief Li and the commissioner watching, Tang Enbo shouldn't be so bold, right?"
Although Fan Jie accepted the reason given by Huang Haoran in his heart, he still refused to relax verbally. Xie Wendong and He Daru sent back battle reports from the outlying positions of Taierzhuang one after another, and in less than 8 hours, the 188th Division had already suffered about 1,500 casualties in Luobei and Lancheng!
Most of the officers and men of the 188th Division were brought over by the 1st Army of He Daru General Hu Zongnan, and the quality of the soldiers was considered superior in the 25th Group Army. With such a speed of loss, not to mention Xie Wendong and He Daru, the two division commanders and deputy divisions, even Fan Jie, the chief of staff, was distressed when he saw the numbers on the battle report!
After handing over the defense of the south bank of the canal to the 110th Division, Tang Enbo ordered the 85th Army to disengage from the Japanese troops in the direction of Hanzhuang and Yixian, and took the entire 20th Army Corps to move into the Baoqinggu Mountains and sat on the wall.
When the vanguard of the 188th Division and the 31st Division were fighting fiercely with the Japanese Seya detachment in the outer positions, Tang Enbo's troops did not even mean to send a small force to attack the Japanese army, as if they were afraid of setting themselves on fire!
If this development continues, it is questionable whether Townebo's 20th Army will attack as planned! Therefore, Fan Jie still prefers to let the 188th Division withdraw first, at least he can advance and retreat freely.
"You don't need me to tell you how much weight Chief Li has in Tang Enbo's eyes, right? As for the commission... Ay.....! ”
Huang Haoran's last exclamation is just right, which fully explains his helplessness at the moment! The "doting" of the highest authorities for the descendants of the troops is sometimes too outrageous, and after a long time, those Whampoa generals will naturally inevitably be spoiled! Even if they made a serious mistake, the board in the hands of the highest authorities was raised high and fell gently.
Counting on the highest authorities to keep an eye on Towneburgh? Huang Haoran thinks it's very hanging! In his opinion, if the highest authorities were willing not to meddle in the affairs of the 5th theater of operations, and really delegate the power of cutting first and then playing to Chief Li, perhaps Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps would be more active!
Listening to Huang Haoran's words, Fan Jie was a little angry! Why do you have to mess around with Towneburgh? Everyone is the Central Army! The 25th Army is still a "victorious division!" "What is not a hundred times stronger than Townenburg's 20th Legion?
"Commander! You mean that no one can control him? If that's the case, I'd better end the battle of Taierzhuang as soon as possible! The province has lost our wife and broken our soldiers! ”
Huang Haoran noticed that this time Fan Jie changed his name. Calling Huang Haoran "commander" instead of Huang Haoran "deputy seat" is knowledgeable. Fan Jie took this opportunity to remind Huang Haoran that the deputy commander of the 5th Theater was just a temporary deal, and the 25th Group Army was Huang Haoran's family.
"When did I say something so frustrating? Tang Enbo's question, Chief Li's side is already thinking of a way, at most, it will only be 357 days, and the 20th Army will definitely attack! ”
In Fan Jie's opinion, what Huang Haoran said was child's play! What's going on near Taierzhuang today? Fan Jie didn't think that Xie Wendong's 188th Division would be inferior to Chi Fengcheng's 31st Division! Still three-five-seven days? Calculated according to the rate of troop losses in Luobei and Lancheng. Once the Japanese army attacks with all its might, I am afraid that in less than two days, the 31st Division in Taierzhuang will not even be able to leave the scum!
Huang Haoran saw that Fan Jie's still wanted to speak, but there were some things he couldn't explain now, in order to appease Fan Jie's emotions and let Fan Jie, the chief of staff of the 25th Group Army, play ten percent, Huang Haoran waved his hand at Fan Jie, and then said in a low voice:
"You just keep an eye on the south side of the Good Luck River and Taierzhuang! Don't think about the Tonnberg thing! I'll just keep it and let the 20th Legion move its nest! ”
"Since the commander already has an idea, I won't ask! But there are some things that still have to be reminded, Sun Lianzhong, can you really hold Taierzhuang? If, in the end, we need to invest in the main division such as the 99th Division or the 139th Division in Zhuangzi, which force should be used in the general attack? ”
Although Fan Jie expressed his willingness to accept Huang Haoran's orders, but this series of problems still exposed his inner reluctance, since coming to the 5th war zone, Fan Jie has repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction to Huang Haoran, Fan Jie believes that Huang Haoran should no longer let the troops participate in such a large-scale battle, after the Battle of Nanjing, the 25th Group Army has gained enough reputation, but it has also encountered unprecedented losses, Huang Haoran should really let the troops recuperate, and develop well.
Even if Huang Haoran later got Cao Fulin's 55th Army, Fan Jieren Ran thought that coming to the 5th Theater was a loss-making deal, and the elite officers and soldiers of the 139th Division and the 99th Division are now treasures, and they are the seeds of the 25th Group Army becoming stronger! If these seeds encounter large losses, even a few more 55th Army will be difficult to restore the 25th Army.
Huang Haoran smiled, and then pointed to a few small dots on the map: "Sun Lianzhong's troops are much harder than you think!" Moreover, I will not put the elite of the group army into a war of attrition, but the newly formed divisions can take the opportunity to train and train troops! And the 55th Army! Cao Fulin has to be given a chance to vote, right? ”
************************************************
Kanako Fujimori and her companions changed places three times in a few hours, they were first sent to the battalion headquarters by the leading officer, then from the battalion headquarters to the regimental headquarters, and finally from the regimental headquarters to the division headquarters, the commander of the 139th Division, Li Yuhe, walked around in front of his division headquarters, looking at these flowery Japanese women in the trenches, Li Yuhe didn't have any good way!
Shao Ganyong, the commander of the 540th regiment, seemed to have made a mistake, and stood behind Li Yuhe with his two battalion commanders dejectedly, they didn't expect that their subordinates would catch such a batch of "troubles" and come back.
"What the hell am I going to do with these Japanese mothers-in-law? What do you mean!? ”
Li Yuhe, who was the commander of the division, encountered a problem, so he naturally asked the staff officers of the division headquarters. But these guys, who are usually like monkeys, are now pretending to be dumb as if they want to make an appointment, and in the face of Li Yuhe's questions, none of the staff officers are willing to stand up and answer.
"Grandma's! Which bastard did this? Lao Tzu is not a brothel here! What do you want so many women to do!? ”
Li Yuhe saw that the staff officers were silent, and the anger in his heart became even stronger, and the words he said began to add dirty words.
Kanako Fujimori hid in the crowd and secretly observed the Chinese general opposite, although the ranks and insignia of the Japanese army were different from those of the Chinese army, they were still the same in some ways. Kanako Fujimori stared at Li Yuhe's triangular Venus on his collar, she had already determined that Li Yuhe was a major general!
A general who can definitely decide the life and death of Kanako Fujimori and her companions! In addition, Li Yuhe's face is very ugly now, which makes Kanako Fujimori mistakenly think that she is in crisis again!
In order to prevent the actions of some of the women from angering the Chinese major general and causing them to kill them, Kanako Fujimori whispered in Japanese to the sisters around him in the crowd not to act rashly.
But this time Kanako Fujimori made a mistake! The division headquarters of the 139th Division is not comparable to the command headquarters of the lower-level troops, and because Huang Haoran carried out language education in the army very early, many of the staff officers of the 139th Division can speak Japanese.
Kanako Fujimori's unusual behavior soon caught the attention of the staff officers of the 139th Division, who whispered to Li Yuhe about the discovery and the fact that Kanako Fujimori could speak Chinese.
"Oh!? There are still people who can speak Chinese? Don't call it out yet! I'm going to ask! ”
After receiving Li Yuhe's order, a staff officer stepped forward and called Kanako Fujimori out, knowing that Kanako Fujimori could speak Chinese, so the staff officer did not speak Japanese.
This caused a new misunderstanding between Kanako Fujimori, who thought that the Chinese officers in front of her did not understand Japanese. So Kanako Fujimori began to have the audacity to start a new "tandem" in Japanese.
"Everyone, do not be afraid! These Chinese don't understand what we say again! You have to be calm, dignified, and I will tell the Chinese that we are civilians! It is the battlefield condolence group of the imperial army, as long as the Chinese do not know the identity of our 'women's forward team', they must release us! ”
"Kanako! Come on! ”
"Kanako! Please! ”
Li Yuhe felt that these Japanese women were like a flock of ducks, and they were actually chattering in front of him! Li Yuhe just wanted to ask the staff officer standing next to him what the Japanese women were talking about, but he saw that his staff officer was shaking his head at him, signaling not to speak yet.
Li Yuhe is an officer who grew up in the 99th Division, and these staff officers of the division headquarters are all his old partners and old friends, and they can convey a lot of things with just one look. After realizing that these Japanese women in front of him wanted to play tricks, Li Yuhe deliberately pretended not to notice anything, walked forward with a big grin, pointed at Kanako Fujimori with a big grin, and asked, "You! That's you! I'll be talking about it from the beginning! What the hell are you talking about!? ”
"General! We are all civilians! Of course, you will be scared to come to such an occasion suddenly! I was telling them not to be afraid, I told them that the Chinese soldiers are very friendly and will never harm Japanese civilians like us! ”
Kanako Fujimori's words couldn't help but make Li Yuhe look at the Japanese woman with beautiful facial features in front of him! Deliver such a comfortable high hat as soon as you open your mouth, civilian? How could civilians have such guts!?
Li Yuhe's eyes narrowed, his gaze looked back and forth on Fujimori Kanako's body, Fujimori Kanako thought that the Chinese major general had taken a fancy to her beauty, so her voice began to become more greasy, and it was clear that she wanted to play a trick on Li Yuhe and Shi Meiren!
"General! We are just some unarmed women, and we really don't deserve to be treated like this! Look at their feet, they've blistered! ”
As she spoke, Kanako Fujimori dragged out the rather beautiful and plump Akiko from the comfort women pile, and then she squatted down and lifted the hem of Akiko's kimono, exposing Akiko's beautiful thighs! Li Yuhe didn't expect this Japanese woman to play this trick with him, he was defenseless for a while, and he was a little dizzy by Akiko's white thighs!
Who would have thought that a Japanese woman would actually wear nothing inside the kimono, and Akiko now has an unobstructed view of her entire thighs except for the socks on her feet!
"Ahem! Cough! What are you doing! Put it down! Put your clothes down! ”
Seeing Li Yuhe's "helpless" appearance, Kanako Fujimori smiled very covertly. The Chinese are really very honest, if they had changed the Japanese officers, I am afraid that they would have pounced on them a long time ago!
Kanako Fujimori pretended to be very obedient and arranged the kimono for Akiko, and when she stood up, she said to Akiko in an extremely relaxed tone, "Look at it! These men are definitely no match for us! ”
"Not necessarily! Members of the Women's Stand Up Team! ”
When Kanako Fujimori was most proud, she opened her mouth to Li Yuhe and the staff officer who was glaring just now, and when Kanako Fujimori realized that the other party was speaking Japanese, her face suddenly turned miserable!
"It seems that you didn't tell the truth just now, what a pity! I don't have time to greet you! Staff Officer Song! It's up to you! Be sure to squeeze out all the contents of these Japanese mothers-in-law's stomachs! ”
Li Yu and the staff officer's "preemptive strike" together had an effect, completely shocking these Japanese women, so he relieved himself to hand over these Japanese women to the staff officer. Then Li Yuhe smiled at Kanako Fujimori and turned back to his division.
Staff Officer Song walked up to Kanako Fujimori, and then said in a deep voice, "Please! Members of the Women's Stand-Up Team! ”
This sentence is also in Japanese.
Kanako Fujimori no longer has the confidence she had just now, she bowed her head and returned to the team, and now that she has met a Chinese officer who understands Japanese, Kanako Fujimori's advantage of knowing Chinese has lost its value. To save your life, it's best to be cooperative!
*************************************************
The fighting in Luobei is getting hotter and hotter, and the 188th Division is investing more and more troops in this area. As several of Xie Wendong's regiments marched into Luobei, Luonan, Lancheng and Liujiahu, Chifengcheng's 185th regiment became more and more like a supporting role.
Sun Lianzhong didn't expect that Huang Haoran's support for the 31st Division would be so great! At first, he was always worried that Huang Haoran would let his 25th Army stay in the rear and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, just like Tang Enbo's 20th Army, in fact, in the battle plan for Taierzhuang drawn up by Chief Li, Huang Haoran's troops were given such a task. Now seeing Huang Haoran driving his troops up to help in the battle, Sun Lianzhong's heart is very moved!
"Huang Youchen is really a frank person! Compared to Tang Enbo, it is more than ten times better! ”
Sun Lianzhong repeated these words more than once in front of the two military commanders under him, which shows his admiration for Huang Haoran. As for Chifeng City in Taierzhuang, not to mention! The 188th Division fought the outskirts of Taierzhuang, and the 31st Division was the most direct beneficiary! In advance, even Chimine Castle didn't expect that the speed at which the Seya detachment would come would be so fast, and the troops invested would be so strong! If it weren't for Huang Haoran's early arrangement, I'm afraid that the war would have burned to the main position of Taierzhuang now!
In order to repay Huang Haoran for his previous help to the 2nd Army, Chi Fengcheng was determined to defend Taierzhuang and live and die with this Zhuangzi!
The commander of the Japanese Seya detachment, Major General Seya Kei, learned from the prisoners of war captured by the Japanese troops on the front line: The troops around Yixian were 4 divisions of the 20th Army Corps of the Chinese Army; Li Delin, commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, had ordered Tang Enbo to assemble in the mountainous areas northeast and north of Yixian County and prepare to start an attack in an attempt to oppress and annihilate the Japanese troops in the areas around Hanzhuang and Lincheng on the east bank of Weishan Lake.
After learning this information, Major General Seya Kei not only did not think that his Seya detachment was already in danger. I also think this is a great opportunity to annihilate the 20 Legions! Major General Seya Kai decided to gather the main force of the Seya detachment on the front line of Lincheng and Yixian, and prepared for a decisive battle with Tang Enbo's army! The troops originally scheduled to support the Sakamoto detachment of the 5th Division in the Linyi direction were reduced to one brigade, while the strength and tasks of attacking Taierzhuang remained unchanged.
Major General Kei Seya gave the order overnight:
"(1) The Seya detachment was sent to Yizhou in the direction of Yizhou to respond to the Sakamoto detachment, and the main force was to secure the line of the Grand Canal near Hanzhuang and Taierzhuang.
(2) The Yizhou detachment (based on the 10th Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Wing) set out from Lincheng and advanced in the direction of Yizhou to respond to the operation of the Sakamoto detachment.
(3) The 10th Infantry Wing (owed to the 2nd Brigade, with artillery, etc.) secured the Grand Canal line near Hanzhuang with one unit, and the main force assembled at Lincheng.
(4) The 63rd Infantry Wing (1 brigade owed, with artillery, etc.) secured the Grand Canal line near Taierzhuang with one unit, and the main force was assembled in Yixian.
(5) The headquarters of the detachment and the troops directly under it are assembled near Zaozhuang. (To be continued.) )
