Chapter 180
9.180
The base camp of the Japanese army held consultations overnight to study countermeasures. The only remaining Guards Division in China www.biquge.info has been proposed several times to increase the Chinese battlefield.
I don't know if it was for the sake of face or because the Guards Division couldn't leave, the last division in the Emperor's hands ended up staying on the island. But the commander of the Central China Front in Nanjing, General Shunroku Hata, and the commander of the 11th Army in Jiujiang, Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji, received instructions from the Tokyo base camp at the same time: do everything possible to rescue the Songpu Division and the Honma Division at all costs!
This was the instruction of Emperor Hirohito. The Emperor does not want to see another army division fall at the hands of the Chinese army! From Nanjing to Wuhan, the Japanese Army has destroyed three army divisions in 10 months, and this fourth tragedy must not have occurred on the battlefield in Wuhan!
Seishiro Sakagaki, the prime minister of the land, conveyed the emperor's dictation to Shunroku Hata in a telegram:
"Tell Shunroku Hata that I don't care what losses his troops have suffered, I must rescue the 106th Division and the 27th Division!"
As soon as these words came out, the Central China Dispatch Army had no way to retreat!
After reading the telegram, Shunroku Hata picked up the phone and connected to the headquarters of the 11th Army to find Okamura Ninji Okamura. Shunroku Hatata's tone was full of anxiety, and he asked Okamura Ninji, "Okamura-kun, have your troops taken the pass street?" ”
"Your Excellency Commander, the 101st Division is still fighting hard. Judging from the strength of the division, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve the strategic goal, so I want to transfer back to the Saeda Brigade from the direction of Ruiwu, and cooperate with the 101st Division to take Passpass Street from the front and open up the road connecting the Songpu Division......"
But before Okamura Ninji's words were finished, General Shunroku Hata, who was on the other end of the phone, interrupted him:
"Okamura-kun, you don't have to transfer the Saeda detachment anymore, I have already given them the task of reinforcing Wanjialing. Remember, your 11th Army's main task on the Southern Front at the moment is to quickly break through the defensive positions of the Chinese Army's Xue Yue Group and move closer to Junrokuro's 106th Division as soon as possible. Only when the Songpu Division breaks the siege can you and I live up to the trust of the Empire and the trust of His Majesty the Emperor! ”
Shunroku Hata fought hard to relieve the siege of Songpu, mobilized almost any troops that could be mobilized, and formed a powerful reinforcement force.
The Nyinga Detachment is a new cadre composed of nearly 3,000 supplementary soldiers who have just been trained in Japan and transferred to the Central China Battlefield for on-the-spot training. General Hata planned to replenish the division to Lieutenant General Songura after rescuing the Songura Division.
The Saeda detachment, which originally belonged to the 106th Division, had a lot of troops. In addition, Shunroku Hata sent three infantry brigades from the left-behind division in Shanghai to reinforce Saeda, so that the strength of the division almost reached the size of one brigade and regiment.
The Suzuki detachment almost moved the Suzuki Brigade of the 17th Division of the Central China Front Army as it was. The detachment commanded by Major General Brigade Commander Harusmatsu Suzuki was under the command of the 53rd and 54th Infantry Wings, and was undoubtedly the most combat-effective of the three reinforcements. Suzuki was also temporarily assigned command of three rescue detachments.
Carefully calculated, the total strength of these three reinforcement detachments had even surpassed the Songpu Division besieged by Xue Yue!
Then Shunroku Hata said on the phone again: "Honma Masame's 27th Division, how is the situation?" ”
Hearing General Shunroku Hata ask this question, Okamura Ninji actually had fire in his heart. Now he doesn't know how many troops he has in his hands, and he doesn't know that the original four divisions are now only a half-crippled 101st division available! In order to rescue Junrokuro Matsuura's 106th Division, Okamura Ninji even drained the mobile forces of the Hatata detachment that occupied Jiujiang and besieged the fortress of Mada!
To put it mildly, at present, even the guards standing guard outside the headquarters of the 11th Army have been reduced to squadrons, where can Okamura Ninji still pick out manpower to rescue the 27th Division trapped between Huangmei and Susong?
One is that the whip is beyond reach, and the other is that the strength is not enough!
"Your Excellency, Commander, I really don't have any soldiers to send! Do you want the 2nd Army on the Northern Front to send troops to reinforce Honma? As far as I know, in the hands of Lieutenant General Higashiku, there are still some reserves......"
"The battle line of the 2nd Army of King Higashihisa is far away from the Sumatsu area, and there is also a 5th theater of the Chinese Army in between, and they can't fly over! If you want to save Masaan Honma's 27th Division, you have to rely on your 11th Army! Okamura-kun! Good news for you! I have ordered the 15th Division, 22nd Division, and 116th Division directly under the Central China Dispatch Army to all drive to the front line and be under your command! That's all I can do for you! As you know, these divisions were originally used to maintain law and order in East China, but now as soon as they leave, the movements of the guerrillas of the Chinese army suddenly become active, and many areas far from the county seat have been forced to be abandoned, I hope you can understand the painstaking efforts of the emperor and me! ”
Shunroku Hata finally has some conscience, and provides some real support to Okamura Ningji, although the distant water can't catch the thirst for the time being, but it's a little hopeful.
"Your Excellency Commander, where are these divisions now?"
As soon as he heard that three divisions of troops would be added in his hands, Okamura Ninji's ambition suddenly returned to his body, in his opinion, if these three divisions could be in place in time, there would still be something to do!
Don't look at the fact that the Chinese army now occupies the advantage of the whole line, encompassing the two divisions of the 11th Army, but at this time it is also the most vulnerable time for the Xue Yue Group and the Huang Haoran Group of the Chinese Army!
In order to annihilate the 27th Division and the 106th Division, it is necessary to invest time and troops, just take the battle of Huang Haoran to annihilate the 6th Division not long ago, just the number of the group army level used four or five! Now Xue Yue is encircling and annihilating the 106th Division of Junrokuro Matsuura on the Nanxun Line, and he has also used the strength of the 9th Theater to the extreme! Huang Haoran is a continuous battle on the northern front, and if you want to encircle and annihilate the 27th Division, you naturally have to be careful, the current situation of the Chinese army on these two battlefields is like two balloons that blow very loudly, if there is no external force, it can still be harmed, but if there is an external force to add it, it will be "pop!" Syllable! "Two sounds, broken bones!
"The 22nd Division is currently the closest to you, and the main force has arrived in Anqing! The vanguard should be able to reach Jiujiang tonight! The 116th Division on the northern front is relatively close to Susong, the main force has crossed Taihu Lake, and the 15th Division is behind the 116th Division, and its movements are a little slower......"
Taihu Lake! Anqing! It's really not far away! Okamura Ninji suddenly heard such good news, and suddenly came to his senses!
"Commander! If the 116th Division and the 15th Division can advance as fast as possible, I think we can completely hit the forces of the three divisions and fight Huang Haoran's main force in a decisive battle between Huangmei and Susong! The 27th Division fought from the inside out, the 15th Division made a detour from the north, the 116th Division advanced west from Susong, and then ordered the Potian detachment to cross Longgan Lake and attack from the south, which should be a shame for the destruction of the 6th Division! ”
General Shunji Hata was much more rigorous in his thinking than Okamura Ninji, and he was much more careful in his consideration, and he quickly pointed out the problem in Okamura Ninji's plan:
"You have to add a premise to this hypothesis in order to become true, and that is.... The 27th Division can hold out in the encirclement of Huang Haoran's troops until all your troops are in position, and Huang Haoran will not slip away in advance! ”
"I think I have a way to get Huang Haoran to stay in Huangmei and not leave, but I need His Excellency the Commander to lend me two things......."
Okamura Ninji finally found a chance to speak to Shunroku Hata, he thought he would be a little nervous, but at the moment he felt very relaxed. What Kagesa Zhenzhao said is really right, people who have nothing are really bold.
"Oh? What do you want? Tell me about ......"
Although General Shunroku Hahata was very dissatisfied with Okamura Ninji's performance in the position of commander of the 11th Army, he did not think that Okamura Ninji was an incompetent guy. On the contrary, Shunroku Hata will somewhat appreciate this crazy guy in a way.
It's a pity, Okamura Ningji's timing as the commander of the 11th Army is really bad, if it is changed to the period of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, or in the North China battlefield, his desperate thinking will bring him great honor!
I didn't expect that in just one year, the Chinese army would change so much! Not only is Huang Haoran, a character who gives the imperial army a headache, becoming more and more hot, but Zhang Zizhong, Xue Yue and others have gradually become similar characters to Huang Haoran.
If Okamura Ninji can really teach Huang Haoran a lesson in Wuhan, it is indeed a good thing that can hit Chinese morale......
"I want all the airborne gliders in your hands, and your commando team that has just returned from Germany!"
Okamura Ninji's request made General Shunroku Hata secretly frightened! How did Ninji Okamura know about the existence of airborne gliders and commandos? These two things are secret test objects of the Army, and they have not been announced to the public at all.
At this time, within the Japanese Army, there was still a skeptical attitude towards airborne operations, after all, it was only the end of 1938, and even the German airborne troops were far from making any decent achievements. As for such a novelty as glider airborne operations, not to mention that!
But why would Okamura Ninji be interested in this? Could it be that he knows something that the six generals of Shun Hata don't know?
In the end, General Shunliu Hata decided to take a gamble and defeat Huang Haoran, the victorious general of China, a goal that was a little too tempting.
"I can agree to your request, but you must first tell me how you plan to get Huang Haoran to leave Tianjia Town and walk into your trap......
Okamura Ninji only used four words to solve the doubts in the heart of the six generals of Toshiroku Hatata, and he said slowly: "Ei... Assist.. Auspicious.. Illustrious! ’
It turned out to be him! The conspirators of the Kwantung Army! The master of the plum machine!
Shunroku Hata's six generals suddenly felt that they all understood!
"Good! I'll give you a secret order, all these people and supplies will be handed over to you, and I won't interfere again! Remember, you'd better kill Huang Haoran!! ”
"I'll do my best......" Okamura Ninji hung up the phone directly after saying these words.
**************************************************************************
Sasaki's luck was still good after all, he and Goto dug up the bodies of four high-ranking Japanese officers, Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro, commander of the 6th Division, Major General Katsuji Imamura, commander of the 11th Brigade, Koga Kuzo Nakasa, and Captain of the 6th Light and Heavy Wing, Kawasanada Kunie, and they were all quite intact.
There are also many top-secret documents of the Japanese army, military maps, radio codes, communication books unearthed from these Japanese "mummies", all of which were buried in the ground by the soil lifted up by the 152 howitzer, so most of them are very complete. Although the 25th Army had such a great victory in the past of annihilating the entire division and regiment of the Japanese army, it did not gain much because the Japanese army had a tradition of burning important materials before the defeat. This time it's the real fortune!
Because they have been pressed under the ground by the soil and have not been exposed to the air, the bodies of Inaba Shiro and others are still relatively "fresh", Xu Xinghua checked the four corpses on the ground one by one, and then looked at the unrecognizable Chief of Staff Shigeta Shigetoku, sighed and said: "It's a pity! I almost got the main officers of the 6th Division together, and if this shovel was moved down a few inches, it would be better to break the neck and sew it with a needle and thread, but this shovel is on the face.... It's really a no-brainer......"
"Fortunately, it wasn't shoveled in Shiro Inaba's face, the bodies of the two most valuable devil generals are still intact, and the luck is good... My soldiers joining the army are just some rough farmers, and I have to get together before a few devils die, otherwise I'm afraid that more than half of them will be rotten! ”
It is still the 86th Brigade Commander Chen Dexin who said the most fairly, all of this is really thanks to the "disfigured" Chief of Staff Chongtian Chongde, with his body as a signpost, the officers and soldiers of the 171st Regiment naturally know that the area of more than ten meters near the Chief of Staff Chongtian Chongde is the key point, so the big shovel was used by them as a Luoyang shovel, and the progress of the excavation of the ruins of the 6th Division Headquarters is generally tense and orderly.
The officers and men of the 171st Regiment were not tomb robbers after all......
"What Brigade Commander Chen said is that I am asking too much... Sasaki, hurry up and let your people distinguish it, and send all the valuable things to Tianjia Town! The rest will be handed over to the 29th Division Headquarters for temporary safekeeping. And also... Don't send the corpse to Tianjia Town, the head office has an explanation, and send it directly to Wuhan! On this hot day, if it is delayed for a long time, it will be rotten, and it will disappoint the reporters in Wuhan......"
Xu Xinghua is not the kind of hypocritical person, and he treats what he has said as the past. He still has a lot of things to do. For example: find those gas bombs.
"Do you want to take some photos first, so as not to have an accident on the road...... Sasaki is really careful, and he even thinks about things that Xu Xinghua can't think about.
After seeing Xu Xinghua nodding in agreement, Sasaki and Goto immediately took the camera and busied, they first took pictures of the bodies of Inaba Shiro and others in various shapes, and even put aside the military ID cards and weapons equipped with Inaba and others as explanations and references, and the degree of rigor was about to catch up with the forensic medical officer in charge of the police station.
"Director Xu, I now understand why the general seat spends money to promote these 'Japanese rapists', it's really useful!"
The words of Chen Dexin, the commander of the 86th Brigade, were definitely moved, although he knew that there were a group of "Japanese traitors" under Xu Xinghua's hands when he first joined the 25th Army in the 55th Army, but Chen Dexin always thought that it was just a political prop used by Huang Haoran for propaganda to the outside world, and he really didn't expect that a few soft-boned little devils could still use it like this!
After watching Sasaki's infiltration, destruction, and now manipulation of corpses, Chen Dexin admitted that he was blind.
"You guys, it's not been long... When did we ever trade at a loss? Let's just talk about those old Maozi, the 200 divisions have to offer them as ancestors, but how is our commander treating them? If you don't do things for us, you won't be given food! Foreigners, but they are short-term workers who come to help us, and they are also paid that salary, so wouldn't it be a loss if you don't need to? ”
If Xu Xinghua's words were heard by the Wuhan government officials in charge of foreign affairs, it would definitely mean that he was deviant, but this is the 25th Group Army, Huang Haoran's team, and since the start of the Wucheng army, there have been foreigners who have come to help Huang Haoran with things. This foreign devil, the old people under Huang Haoran are really not scared!
Although Chen Dexin has not yet reached such a realm, he likes this atmosphere within the 25th Group Army from the bottom of his heart. Those who are soldiers are not afraid of hard battles, they are afraid of following a commander who will not succeed, and following a commander like Huang Haoran is really bullish!
"The total seat is very human... The generals under his command will naturally not be bad, I think the 200 Division is also very ordinary, if it is against the 99 Division, it will be lost! ”
As he spoke, he didn't know why, Chen Dexin felt that his waist pole was getting straighter and straighter, and he was about to catch up with the telephone pole......
"Take off the military uniforms of these devils, take a few all-light photos, and don't admit it when the little devils in the province do!"
Goto is worthy of Sasaki's favorite general, and he can actually come up with such an idea! Blue is better than blue!
Xu Xinghua and Chen Dexin first glanced at each other, and then gave each other a thumbs up! This Japanese has a lot of taste! Men with bare butts have to shoot too!
**************************************************************************
"Division Commander! Commander Ninji Okamura calls! ”
In the headquarters of the 27th Division, the division commander, Lieutenant General Masani Honma, and the chief of staff, Yoshiwa Harada, gathered on the side of the map to study tactics. Compared with the 106th Division, which was trapped in the small Wanjialing, the situation of the 27th Division was much better. Occupying a large area from Huangmei to Susong, and to the south was Longgan Lake, which the Chinese army could not cross, they could only be regarded as being attacked on three sides at most, and they could not talk about being surrounded by airtight winds.
"At this time, I am still in the mood to send a telegram, it seems that Okamura's situation is not as bad as the rumors within the dispatch army......
Bad news always spreads very quickly, and it has only been two days since General Shunroku Hata intervened in commanding the 11th Army, and the main generals of the 11th Army have actually forgotten about Okamura Ninji, and Honma Masaan is no exception.
In Honma's heart, Okamura Ninji, who completely buried the 6th Division, should not have taken the throne of the commander of the 11th Army a long time ago, if it weren't for Okamura Ninji who had been pressing Honma Masayan to rescue the 6th Division and not allowing him to attack Guangji in a roundabout way, how could the 27th Division be encircled by Huang Haoran's Chinese Army now?
"If according to my proposal, our 27th Division would have already broken through Guangji and smashed into Tianjiazhen, Huang Haoran's headquarters, would the Chinese army besieging the 6th Division not retreat at that time? Okamura Ninji actually has the face to say that he knows China very well! It turned out that he didn't understand such a simple art of war as encircling Wei to save Zhao, ......! ”
Okamura Ningji's loss of power made his subordinates' awe of him also lost, and Honma Masaan now dared to sarcastically mock Okamura Ningji, the commander of the 11th Army, in front of so many officers of the division headquarters, which was unimaginable a few days ago!
Time flies! In just a few days, there have been such great changes within the 11th Army!
"Let's see what Commander Okamura says... Perhaps, reinforcements have arrived! ”
Chief of Staff Harada Yoshiwa Osa is not as bold as Honma Masan, he still has some awe of Okamura Ninji, no matter what fate Okamura Ninji will fall after the Battle of Wuhan, but at least now he is still the commander of the 11th Army, holding the materials and reinforcements urgently needed by the 27th Division in his hands!
Seeing that Honma Masani still didn't move after listening to what he said, Harada Yoshikawa Osa added a few more words: "The ammunition of the artillery has been almost consumed, and there are still guns and bullets, and they are also a little nervous, give us some more airdrops, and Commander Okamura Ninji still has ...... such power."
"Humph! He can only play the role of one of those logistics officers now! Honma Masana was moved by Harada Yoshikazu Osa's words, and he waved at the confidential officer who was standing by with the telegram in his hand, and motioned for the other party to hand over the telegram.
The young officer was stunned for a moment, he may still be immersed in the words he just heard, compared with an old oilman like Honma Masayo, who has been rolling in the army for many years, the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers of the Japanese army are still very pure in their thinking, and they absolutely dare not criticize the commander behind their backs.
"What are you writing about?" When reading the telegram, Honma Masaka still had a look of disdain, neither joy nor anger, which made it difficult for Harada Yoshiwa Osa to guess whether the telegram brought good news or bad news, so he could only ask.
"Your Excellency our commander wishes we could hold out for another ten days! And said that reinforcements are on the way! Chief of Staff Harada, you should be dead by now, right? I think when Shiro Inaba was trapped between Hiroji and Huangmei, Okamura Ninji probably said the same thing.... At that time, we still came to the 6th Division, but now, who will save us? ”
Honma's answer seemed to be full of dissatisfaction with Okamura Ninji, but Harada Yoshiwa and Osa still found a faint sadness in it. Yes, when Shiro Inaba's 6th Division was surrounded, Okamura Ninji still had three divisions available in his hands! But now, the 106th Division is in Wanjialing first, and the 27th Division is trapped in Susong, and wants to rely on a 101st Division to rescue the 27th Division and the 106th Division at the same time, do you believe this?
In fact, there are many officers who have the same thoughts as Harada Yoshikazu Osa, and for a while the temperature in the division headquarters dropped to the freezing point, in order to boost morale, Harada Yoshiwa Osa could only force a laugh, and he said to the dejected officers in the division headquarters: "Gentlemen, the six generals of Toshiba will definitely send reinforcements, and the emperor will not give up on us!" ......”
"If you were General Shunroku Hata, would you still hand over the troops to Okamura Ninji? Don't you think Huang Haoran's combat exploits are not high enough? ”
The head of the Honma Masan Division seemed to be insisting on going against Harada Yoshikazu Osa, and the little morale that had just been inspired by Harada Yoshiwa Osa suddenly disappeared with his words.
"Division Commander! Please come up with your words! ”
"Yoshiwa Harada! Please be realistic! After suppressing Harada's backlash with rage, Honma yelled at his officers with blood-red eyes, "I'll get as much supplies as I can for you!" I'm not going to ask you to hold a fixed area! You are free to fight! But never think about surrendering! You should already know the latest information of the military department, in the entire 6th Division, there is only one prisoner! Huang Haoran hates us Japanese more than anything! Surrender will only lead to your disgraceful death! ”
After making sure that he had awakened all the iQue officers, Honma strode over to the hanging military map, then picked up a wooden pole and drew a large circle on it!
"Gentlemen! Please look at the map! The area we occupy has a lot of mountains to the south! And further south is Longgan Lake! The navy of the people of China has long been wiped out! They can't even get a single transport ship! Occupy the pass! Occupy every mountain! Then fight to the last man! If our 27th Division is doomed to perdition here, then I hope that ten times as many people as ours will be buried with us! ”
Honma Masaka, this is going to be a gamble! Now it is difficult to boost the morale of the officers and soldiers of the 27th Division with reinforcements or something, after all, they have been watching the 6th Division of the 6th Division, which is only separated from them by a county town in Huangmei, be completely annihilated by the Chinese army Huang Haoran! The entire division has been attacking for more than 10 days, and it can't even take a county seat, and that feeling of powerlessness can only be understood by those who have experienced it firsthand!
It is better to directly tell the officers and soldiers of the whole division that they have no way to retreat and have fallen into a place of death! In this way, you may be able to force out the beastly nature in the hearts of the Japanese soldiers, and then occupy the geographical advantage and Huang Haoran to grind time, in that way, there may be a glimmer of life!
The abandonment and loss that Honma Masaan showed before were actually in a cozy posture, and his ultimate goal was to take the more than 10,000 Japanese troops of the 27th Division to a dead end and a way to survive!
Isn't there a saying among the Chinese, called putting the dead to life and then living! Now Masayan Honma is ready to do just that!
"Eight grids of the road! Fight with the people of China! Long live the Great Japanese Empire! ”
"Loyal to the Emperor! Long live Great Japan! The Lachines were buried together! ”
The deathly silence was followed by an outburst of hysteria! Honma Masana succeeded, and he unleashed the beast in the hearts of his men!
After roaring for a while, I don't know who took the lead in singing the Japanese national anthem "Junnoyo", gradually, from a solo to a chorus, the slow and gloomy singing echoed in the division headquarters of the 6th Division:
"May my emperor be in peace and stability for a long time,
May my emperor be eternal,
until the fine stones turn into boulders,
Grow thick moss ......"
The 27th Division, go crazy!
*******************************************************************************
At noon on October 7, Susong County, which was guarded by Xie Wendong and Yang Sen, was attacked by the 27th Division with unprecedented intensity! In just one hour, the 27th Division launched three brigade-sized assaults! A large number of bean chariots rushed to the front, and the per capita covering artillery fire fell on the city wall of the county like raindrops, and the originally most prosperous East Street in the center of Susong County turned into a pile of rubble in an instant, with bullet holes everywhere, burning houses and dead bodies everywhere!
The power of the devil's 150-caliber howitzer should not be underestimated, and the continuous violent explosions made the roof of Xie Wendong's military headquarters constantly shake, and from time to time some mud and sand would fall down, and some even fell on the military hat on Xie Wendong's head.
Xie Wendong, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea, took a quick sip after unbuttoning the teacup lid, and then quickly closed the lid again, for fear of falling dust into the teacup. The cup is soaked in the best Biluochun, which Huang Haoran gave to Xie Wendong.
After taking off the general's hat and knocking off the dust, Xie Wendong stood up and began to curse his mother, the reaction of the 27th Division today was too abnormal, as if tomorrow was their end, and they were going to play with the Chinese army in Susongcheng.
You have to ask the head office, there must be a reason!
"Grandma's! The 27th Division is desperate! Send a telegram to Tianjiazhen, ask if the friendly army has made any big moves to stimulate Honma's eyes, Lao Tzu can't fight this battle is not clear, figure out who he has suffered for, and turn around to settle accounts with that person. ”
"Yes! Throne! ”
Xie Wendong's military headquarters is a semi-underground bunker, produced by the 27th Army Engineer Regiment, and Yang Sen, who was stationed in Susong with Xie Wendong, thought it was very good after seeing it, so he asked Xie Wendong to borrow some sappers and build such one. According to Xie Wendong's temperament, he was actually unwilling, but in view of the relationship between Yang Sen and Huang Haoran, in the end he chose to send sappers to help Yang Sen. As a result, Yang Sen's performance later made Xie Wendong angry!
"You doll is very quick! Go back and let my son-in-law promote you to an official! ”
Yang Sen kept slapping Xie Wendong on the shoulder as he spoke, as if Xie Wendong was his junior!
Old stuff! What a score! It's not certain that the boss wants your daughter! As an old man who has followed Huang Haoran for many years, Xie Wendong has seen Yu Lianjun, Meng Shiqing and other Huang Haoran's confidants, these two are great beauties! Among them, Meng Shiqing is the daughter-in-law selected by the elders of Huang Haoran's family, while Yu Lianjun has followed Huang Haoran for many years and has long become Huang Haoran's virtuous helper! I heard that Yang Sen's daughter is just a student at a girls' school, how attractive can it be?
If it weren't for the "lady" intervening in it, I'm afraid Huang Haoran would have already cleared up the relationship with Yang Sen, even now, it doesn't mean that there will be no changes in the future! There are too many factors that can affect political marriages!
Fortunately, when giving orders to the engineers, Xie Wendong kept an eye on it, and ordered the commander of the engineer regiment to build Yang Sen's military headquarters in Dongcheng, which was opposite to the military headquarters of the 27th Army, under the pretext that the soil quality was not suitable. Xie Wendong felt that even if Yang Sen wanted to put the score of the chief seat in front of him, it would be impossible for him to pass through the entire county town full of artillery fire and come to Xicheng to find him......
"Throne! This is a reply from the chief of staff of Tianjiazhen Fan, who asked us to stick to Susong, no matter what the 27th Division does, so as to respond to all changes! ”
After Xie Wendong was ordered to come to the 27th Army, in order to make the troops form combat effectiveness as soon as possible and avoid the situation of fluctuating people's hearts, the original main officers of the 27th Army were not moved, and the current battalion and regiment commanders are basically old men in the Gui Yongqing period.
Fortunately, Gui Yongqing did not take over the 27th Army for a very long time, so he did not leave a deep personal imprint on this army, the 27th Army is the Central Army after all, and according to the principle that the officers of the highest authority must be rotated frequently, the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level do not have much sense of belonging to the senior officers who do not know where they are transferred!
On the contrary, for a famous general of the Anti-Japanese War like Huang Haoran, the officers and soldiers were more accepting and more convincing. This made Xie Wendong's process of controlling the 27th Army a lot easier.
"Oh? It seems that the command has not yet figured out the intentions of the 27th Division... Either way, it's the right decision to stay the same! Unless the 27th Division doesn't want to run, they will attack Susong with only one purpose, and that is to open the retreat channel! We must not let them succeed! Order Li Ying's 24th Division and Dai Quanmin's 45th Division to block it with all their might! You can't take a step back! ”
"Yes! Throne! But... The military seat, Hexi Mountain and Fozuo Ridge are the barriers to the west of Susong, and the defenders are Yang Sen's 133rd Division, and his subordinates feel that it seems a little unsafe... Do you want the 45th Division to lean towards them? ”
The question raised by Li Shusen Xie Wendong was not unconsidered, but in the end, Xie Wendong dispelled this idea. In the final analysis, Yang Sen's 27th Army came to Susong to fight, and the terrain of Hexi Mountain and Fozuo Ridge was already easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Yang Sen's troops could not hold such a place, then Xie Wendong really didn't know where to put the 20,000 Sichuan army!
I think that Yang Sen's troops also showed their faces on the Songhu battlefield back then, and with the relationship with the highest authorities, Yang Sen's troops have always been the best equipped and the most neat in the Sichuan army! The establishment of two divisions has a Sichuan army of 20,000 horses, which is really not much!
Most of the Sichuan army troops, a division usually only has three or four thousand people, and the outrageous two or three thousand people dare to play the banner of a division, if it is converted according to such a ratio, the two Sichuan army divisions under Yang Sen are enough to withstand the four divisions of other Sichuan army troops!
It's a mule or a horse, or pull it out and slip away!
"Regardless of Yang Sen's troops for the time being, 10,000 people guarding a few small hills, it should still be sure, the 27th Division is only three infantry wings, and he doesn't want to wait for reinforcements after taking Susong, and he won't invest the main force in Hexi Mountain and Fozuo Ridge, Yang Sen is not worried, what are you and I worried about? It's better to be optimistic about the positive side of Sumatsu! ”
This was Xie Wendong's final decision, Li Shusen saw that Xie Wendong had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more, turned around and retreated.
But it backfired, Hexi Mountain and Buddha Ridge were really targeted by Honma Masaharu!
"Order Nagagawa Okazaki Seisaburo Osa to attack the Buddha Ridge with all his might! I'm going to take the commanding heights west of Susong County, and then set up artillery to attack the Chinese army in the city!" His 2nd Infantry Wing will be helped by the 27th Mountain Artillery Wing, and Nobuo Kobayashi Nakasa will focus on the Shina people on the mountain with his shells! ”
Because of Masaharu Honma's idea, Yang Sen's troops were pushed into the oil pot......
*************************************************************************
At the foot of Hexi Mountain, the Erlang River is like a silver jade belt wrapped around the foothills, extending slowly from the northwest to the southeast, the mountains and peaks compete for beauty, under the cover of the vast forest and sea, it is like a green screen. On the south side of the main peak, there is an abrupt and naked natural stone formation, standing or lying, or side or horizontal, each with its own form, full of interest. Look at the top of the mountain in the four corners, climb on it, look around at the verdant trees, here you can look at the pillar of heaven in the north, look at Kuanglu in the south, look at the five ancestors in the west, look at the small lonely in the east, set the natural sightseeing in one of the near and far, melt the water and mountains in the suburbs, the scenery and scenic spots are in a furnace, it is not a famous place, it is a super famous place, the altitude of Luohan is more than 1000 meters, the mountain is majestic, the cliff forest, the distant view, it looks like a big-bellied Arhat with a bare chest and a bare belly and meditates, climb the main peak and look up, two beautiful lead gray leaping roses in the distance are inlaid in the sea of the forest, that is the rose stone that is terrifying. There are no mountains and no holes, no holes are not strange, large and small secluded holes, some are like mazes, there are holes in the holes, some are deep in the dense forest, mysterious and unpredictable, some have a cool breeze, the cold is pressing, under the cover of weeds and shrubs, it adds a bit of elegance.
Fighting in such a beautiful mountain group is also a special taste.
Because it was a mountainous area, the chariots of the 27th Division were naturally unable to exert their strength, and the devil soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Wing stationed in the Tuntun constantly attacked the 133rd Division of Janssen on the top of the hill under the cover of rocks and numbers, and the overall situation was very unfavorable to the 133rd Division due to the absolute superiority of the 27th Division in artillery fire and air cover.
After the successful sneak attack on Susong, Yang Sen also ordered Yang Hanyu, the commander of the 133rd Division, to lead his troops to secretly build some fortifications on the mountain. At that time, in order to hide the eyes and ears of the Japanese reconnaissance planes in the sky, when Yang Senbu built these fortifications, he would first build a canopy with fallen trees, and then build machine gun fortifications. In this way, the trees on top of the fortifications can also fire cannons.
It is conceivable that it is wishful thinking after all, and not long after the battle, the fortifications and trees were overturned by Japanese artillery fire, leaving only a piece of bricks, stones and broken wood. Compared to the two, the 27th Division was clearly more well prepared. Due to the fact that Susong had been occupied by the Japanese army for a long time before, the devils had already sent sappers to draw accurate large-scale topographic maps of the nearby hills, and various terrain features were accurately marked. This topographic map provided a very accurate shot for Japanese artillery fire.
Before the attack, the Japanese raised several balloons behind their positions, and the observation post was in the spider plant of the balloons. Ascending high and looking into the distance, the target on the top of the mountain can be seen at a glance, all the actions of the Yang Sen Department are in the line of sight of the balloon, and every suspicious place will immediately attract an overwhelming cannonball. Only when the soldiers on both sides twisted into a pile and engaged in white-knuckle combat did the Japanese artillery lose its power.
Yang Hanyu, the commander of the 133rd Division, was Yang Sen's general, and he fought very hard, but under the joint attack of the 27th Division, he was a little unbearable.
Occupying a hill and fighting a defensive battle may sound like a very pleasant thing to do, but if you happen to have no artillery in your hands and you run into an opponent with plenty of artillery and ammunition, it becomes a tragedy!
Because the other side can implement fire coverage on the mountain!
The first to be shelled by the Japanese army was the 801st Regiment on the Fozuo Ridge, this regiment had three battalions, more than 2,000 people, the regiment commander Zhao Wenbin, a native of Guang'an County, Sichuan, graduated from Chengdu Public School and Sichuan Army Lecture Hall. He has always led the troops in a good way and has strict discipline. There were no group fights, robberies, gambling, or adultery in his troops, which were known as the "Rotten Hills."
Before going to the Buddha Ridge, Zhao Wenbin shot the two deserters in public, and he said to the officers and soldiers: "The national war is imminent, and the officers and soldiers are not harmonious, and their officials must be investigated." If there is anyone who does not want to be a soldier, as long as he proposes it, he will pay the full amount of the travel expenses to go home. But if you don't run away and punish you severely, this is the end! ”
Immediately after the shelling, the Japanese infantry went into action. In order to avoid the shelling, the officers and soldiers of the 801st Regiment were mostly cats on the anti-slope, not in the fortifications and trenches, seeing the Japanese army charge, Zhao Wenbin immediately commanded the troops to enter the position, and after the Japanese troops on the mountainside found out, they immediately Jia Qile machine guns, light and heavy machine gun bullets hit like locusts to cover the infantry attack.
Officers and men of the 801st Regiment jumped into trenches and craters and fired heavily at the enemy, and light and heavy machine guns also opened fire on the enemy at the same time. The Japanese army kept falling to the ground, and without waiting for the Japanese army to readjust its strength, Zhao Wenbin ordered the second battalion to attack and launch a counter-charge! When the two sides were mixed up and engaged in close combat, Zhao Wenbin ordered a battalion to jump out of the trench and form a second shock wave towards the devil and rush over. The Japanese army could not support it and retreated to the mountainside.
