Chapter 90: The Japanese Army Approaches Step by Step
7.90 The Japanese are approaching step by step
What happened next proved that Towneberg's 20th Army was anything but a puddle of mud. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOn the contrary, the execution of the 20th Legion is excellent! After receiving Huang Haoran's lure of the enemy, Tang Enbo's 20th Army completed their mission in only 4 hours. The Japanese Seya detachment in front of Taierzhuang completed the second turn in less than 12 hours.
On the Beiluo and Lancheng fronts, the 188th Division of Xie Wen Dongdong and the 185th Regiment of the 31st Division received the latest instructions from the former enemy headquarters, asking them to put the Segu detachment close to Taierzhuang. So with the active "cooperation" of the 118th Division and the 31st Regiment of the 185th Division. The 63rd Wing led by Rongfu Dazuo finally "came to the bitter end" and ushered in their "breakthrough"!
The first to be abandoned by the Chinese army was the Zhangshan position in the outermost part of Taierzhuang, and the 63rd Wing immediately pressed the Chinese army in the "rout" after easily occupying Zhangshan! Rong Fu Dazuo concentrated all the forces in his hands and launched a fierce attack on the Beiluo position and the Lancheng position! Wang Yubin, commander of the 185th Regiment of the 31st Division, who was responsible for the post-break mission, personally led two battalions to resist bravely for an hour before he took the initiative to abandon the Beiluo position, fought and retreated with his troops, and retreated to Nanluo at nightfall.
In the evening, the Japanese pursuing force reached Nanluo, but was stopped by the combined forces of the 188th and 31st Divisions. Rongfu Dazuo, who was not good at night fighting, could only accept it when it was good, and collected his troops to consolidate the position in Beiluo with all his might, and confronted the Chinese defenders in Nanluo. Wait for dawn to launch a new offensive.
The hard work of more than 2,000 imperial infantry and two tank squadrons has finally paid off! Eifuku Daisa let out a long breath!
As soon as he stepped on the Beiluo position, Rongfu Dasa couldn't wait to order the telegraph operator to send a telegram to the detachment leader, Major General Seya Kei, to "report victory"!
"Your Excellency, General!
Both Beiluo and Lancheng have been conquered by my valiant Imperial soldiers! After dawn, the chariots and warriors of the imperial army will sweep away the Chinese defenders of Nanluo and reach their final destination, Taierzhuang! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Great Japanese Empire!
Wing Commander of the 63rd Infantry Wing Rong Fu Dasa"
************************************************
Half an hour after the Japanese army occupied Beiluo and Lancheng, more than a dozen bombers of the Japanese Army Air Force came to the sky over Taierzhuang. These Japanese bombers were loaded with hundreds of kilograms of bombs, and in this bombing, the fortifications around and in Taierzhuang were damaged to a certain extent, and the entire Taierzhuang was shrouded in gunsmoke and flames! The Chinese artillery positions on the south bank of the canal were also bombarded by the Japanese army aviation.
After the air raid siren was lifted, Huang Haoran immediately called Shi Jincai to ask if the artillery had suffered losses in the air raid. In the face of the mechanized unit of the 10th Division, these cannons placed on the south bank of the canal in the 5th theater are the confidence of Huang Haoran's speech!
"What did he say about Shi Cannon?"
As soon as Huang Haoran put down the telephone receiver, Fan Jie and Wang Huanzhi walked over together. Although the person who asked Huang Haoran a question was Wang Huanzhi, Huang Haoran knew that Fan Jie must also want to ask the same question.
"The artillery regiment is fine! From Songhu to Nanjing, when have we ever had air superiority? Shi Jincai's artillery regiment's ability to fight and hide here can be regarded as an apprentice! I'm afraid that those big-nosed camouflage experts in the German advisory group can't do any better! The artillery handed over to Sun Lianzhong did not suffer losses, and the devil's bombers seemed to be coming at our 25th Army Artillery Regiment, and the two fake artillery positions on the south bank were bombed! I think there's something strange in this! ”
"The Commander means to say... Do we have an internal ......? ”
Huang Haoran's words were obviously implying that there were Japanese spies on the south coast, and Fan Jie was now just pulling out the main points of Huang Haoran's words, just like the telegram he had summarized Tang Enbo before.
"It can't be like this! The commander and Chief Li have already issued a secrecy order! The matter of artillery mobilization in the Taierzhuang area is now only known to the two levels of command at the theater command and the former enemy command. Shi Jincai's artillery regiment is a direct unit of our 25th Group Army, and it is also a black household in the archives of the Military Commission! It can be said that no one in the entire Fifth Theater knows about the existence of this artillery regiment! If it is now certain that the devil's bomber is going to the artillery regiment that uses artillery, then it is not equivalent to saying that there is a conspiracy within our 25th Army? Otherwise, there were Japanese reconnaissance troops who secretly crossed the canal! ”
Wang Huanzhi's analysis was in a proper manner, which was tantamount to sifting through the possible reasons for the bombing of the artillery on the south bank by Japanese planes, but he could not give an answer.
Huang Haoran nodded at Wang Huanzhi, affirming Wang Huanzhi's efforts, and then Huang Haoran set his eyes on Fan Jie, he wanted to see if this Chief of Staff Fan had thought of something different.
"The possibility of being infiltrated by the Japanese reconnaissance forces is even more remote! At the moment, we have two armies on the south bank of the canal, which is 50,000 or 60,000 men! It can be said that all roads are guarded impermetightly! Moreover, the 99th Army and the 55th Army are both units of our group army, and the guards in the area near the artillery regiment can be said to be very strict! Even if there are really little devils mixed in, it stands to reason that the artillery in Sun Lianzhong's hands should be discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance force first! The fact that the devil planes immediately returned after bombing two fake artillery positions showed that they did not know that Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Army had received artillery reinforcements. So it's basically certainly not the Japanese scouts who did it......."
Fan Jie obviously thought of more things than Wang Huanzhi, and Huang Haoran also agreed with Fan Jie's inference, if there were really Japanese reconnaissance troops crossing the canal, I am afraid that the question that those Japanese scouts were most concerned about would be why so many Chinese troops were gathered on the south bank of the canal! Although Huang Haoran always despises the IQ of the Japanese, it does not mean that the Japanese are really stupid pigs!
If the 10th Division knew that the Chinese army had a large number of ambushes in the Taierzhuang area, and still had to go south with all its might, then it would be either Ryosuke Isoya who was crazy or Kai Seya was crazy!
"Chief of Staff Fan means... Could it only be that we have a spy inside? How can it be! Our people are ......."
Wang Huanzhi was the quickest to raise his doubts, as the deputy commander of the 25th Army, he was obviously very reluctant to believe that his subordinates would have problems.
"Huanzhi! You're really grumpy! If you want to ask questions, you have to let Chief of Staff Fan finish talking first! ”
Huang Haoran stopped Wang Huanzhi from continuing, encountering such a situation that was more difficult to make a decision, Huang Haoran still attached great importance to Fan Jie's opinion.
"Commander Xie will relieve me of the siege! Deputy Commander Wang! You misunderstood me! I want to say that there is no possibility that even the Japanese scouts will get in, so how can we have spies inside! If there really is a mole, then all the bombs of the Japanese bombers should be dropped on the Hanjia Temple! In the eyes of those Japanese generals, even if they blew up all our artillery, I am afraid it cannot be compared with the value of killing the commander! ”
"Flutter!" Fan Jie's words made Huang Haoran couldn't help laughing! You're a fan! Yours is available! I didn't expect to inadvertently let Fan Jie find the opportunity to "pat on the back"!
After thinking for a while, Wang Huanzhi also nodded his head in agreement. However, since there were no internal problems and there were no Japanese scouts mixed in, how did the little devil know the location of the two fake artillery positions on the south bank?
After all, there is still no answer to this question. Wang Huanzhi seemed to have understood something from Fan Jie's words, and began to bow his head and think about things silently.
"I don't want to, I don't want to! Let the artillery regiment strengthen its vigilance! Inform Sun Lianzhong of the situation again, and let his artillery move the place too! Beware of making a ship of ten thousand years! Now we should still focus on the Seya detachment in front of Taierzhuang. As soon as Beiluo and Lancheng fell, the Segu detachment had already knocked on the outer positions of Taierzhuang, do you think it is impossible for Segu Qi to abandon Nanluo and Liujiahu and go directly to attack Taierzhuang? To be honest, if I were Kei Seya, I'd do it! ”
In the end, it was Huang Haoran who broke the deadlock between him, Fan Jie, and Wang Huanzhi, and compared with the incident of the artillery position on the south bank of the canal being attacked by air, the 63rd Infantry Wing, which had been stationed in Beiluo and Lancheng, was obviously a greater threat to Taierzhuang!
"Originally, I expected that the Seya detachment would be affected by the 20th Army Corps tomorrow and return to the direction of attacking Taierzhuang! I didn't expect the action of the Tang Enbo Department to be so fast! It only took 4 hours to run to Liujiahu! As a result, the Japanese army attacked in advance, and the 63rd Wing conquered Beiluo and Lancheng before dark! I have to say that our former enemy command miscalculated! ”
In addition to complaining about Tang Enbo, Fan Jie's words are also a review of himself. Not expecting the second turn of the Seya detachment so quickly, in the initial stage, the former enemy command made a number of mistakes.
Fortunately, Huang Haoran discovered the rapid change in the direction of the Japanese army's main attack in time, and gave Xie Wendong's 188th Division and the 185th Regiment of the 31st Division an early retreat order, which prevented the troops from suffering large losses.
Huang Haoran just wanted to say something to comfort Fan Jie, but Wang Huanzhi said what Huang Haoran wanted to say in advance:
"Chief of Staff Fan, you don't need to take all the responsibilities on your shoulders! caused a situation where the defenders on the periphery were caught off guard, and Tang Enbo, the bastard, could not escape the blame! Let Tang Enbo send troops to fight devils, and he will push three and four times! Now that he was going to lure the devils in front of the 20th Legion to Taierzhuang, his movements became faster! In order to pull the main force of the Seya detachment to Taierzhuang, Tang Enbo can be said to have made a bloody investment! Two regiments were cast on the bait alone! In less than half an hour of fighting with the devil, he collapsed! Don't say it's Kei Seya, even if I see such a bad opponent, I want to step on it! Commander! We underestimated Tang Enbo before! I think that in terms of diverting the troubles to the east, Tang Enbo does have some skills! ”
Wang Huanzhi's call can be said to have reached Fan Jie's heart, the generals of the 25th Group Army originally lacked a good impression of the "Taibao Army" like the 20th Army Corps, but now they are tossed by Tang Enbo like this, and the generals of the 25th Group Army have completely flattened the 20th Army Corps.
"Deputy Commander Wang is right! This guy has indeed gone a little too far! I don't look at what time it is, or the old way of preserving strength during the warlord melee! The tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the 20th Legion are in his hands, which is indeed a pity! Since he was preempted by Wang Huanzhi, Huang Haoran could only choose to echo his words. Huang Haoran is not the highest authority, and he will not have any unhappiness because of the harmonious relationship between his subordinates, and Huang Haoran is very happy to see Wang Huanzhi and Fan Jie supporting each other.
"It's just that I pity Li Xianzhou, his 21st Division is so confused that more than 2,000 people have disappeared! I think that in the future, if there are troops to play 'deception', it is better to use Tang Enbo's troops directly! This drama is so well performed that people can't even tell the truth from the fake! ”
Because he was very angry with Tang Enbo in his heart, Wang Huanzhi's words inevitably made him more hostile to the 20th Army. The words with guns and sticks are a good ridicule for Tang Enbo and the 20th Army.
However, Huang Haoran has a different view on this issue, Tang Enbo is Tang Enbo, and the 20th Army is the 20th Army Corps, which should be treated differently and should not be beaten to death with a stick. Tang Enbo's generals like Guan Linzheng, Zheng Dongguo and Li Xianzhou are actually very capable of fighting officers, but it's a pity that they met a commander like Tang Enbo who "cherishes his family background", so he has no chance to display his talents!
Like the Li Xianzhou Division of the 21st Division mentioned by Wang Huanzhi just now, it is a very effective unit. As far as Huang Haoran knows, at least half of the 21st Division's defeat in front of the Japanese army was due to Tang Enbo! Since Huang Haoran's order was for the 20th Army Corps to lead the Japanese army to Taierzhuang, Tang Enbo was worried that Li Xianzhou's troops would perform too well, so Huang Haoran had the idea of detaining the 21st Division in Taierzhuang. Therefore, Tang Enbo not only seized all the heavy equipment of the two regiments of the 21st Division before the attack, but also ordered the commanders of the two regiments to retreat towards Taierzhuang immediately after the battle began. As a result, these two regiments of the 21st Division were afraid of leaving later than their allies and being left behind as cannon fodder, so when the first round of shelling of the 10th Wing of the Seya Detachment passed, the two regiments began a competitive escape! Later, the two regiments encountered the robbery and slaughter of the chariot units of the 10th Division in the middle of the retreat, and the two elite infantry regiments that had never thought of fighting suddenly became a mess, and finally sang the fake drama as true!
Afterwards, the division commander Li Xianzhou was furious, and directly sent a telegram requesting the shooting of the two regiment commanders to Tang Enbo's corps headquarters. Since no one knew that the two commanders of the 21st Division were under the command of Tang Enbo at the beginning, this matter caused a stir within the 20th Army Corps, and it was precisely for this reason that the liaison officer sent by Huang Haoran to the 20th Army Corps had the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the whole matter, and then reported it to Huang Haoran.
Huang Haoran ended the topic about Tang Enbo with a joke, and he said to Wang Huanzhi and Fan Jie with a smile: "It seems that the inaction of the 2nd 0th Army Corps before was because I didn't find Tang Enbo's strengths!" In the future, I will listen to Deputy Commander Wang, and let Tang Enbo play 'deceit'! ”
Wang Huanzhi added another sentence next to him, which made Fan Jiele bloom.
"'Fraud' is still needed, in case this Commander Tang plays 'fraud and surrender' on a whim, it will be very bad!"
"What do you mean by that?"
Huang Haoran asked knowingly, hooked up with Wang Huanzhi and continued to say:
"Big brother, think about it, Tang Enbo is good at fake drama and real singing, this 'fraudulent defeat' is just a loss of some troops, if this 'fraudulent surrender' is also smashed, I'm afraid the entire 20th Army will have to give it away!"
"You......!"
The three of them laughed and returned to the topic they had discussed. Fan Jie believed that the Japanese army would soon attack Nanluo and Liujiahu, and it was unlikely that the Seya Detachment would bypass these two outlying positions to attack Taierzhuang, and that the 10th Division would soon increase its forces to the Seya Detachment.
"What do you mean by that?"
Huang Haoran asked a four-word rhetorical question again, but this time there was no cunning in his eyes when he used these four words to ask Wang Huan rhetorically.
"Kei Seya is Kei Seya, he will never become a commander! If the per capita front-line commander who attacked Taierzhuang was Ryosuke Isotani, perhaps there would be such a possibility! Kai Seya, there is no such ruthless means! If he dared to attack Taierzhuang in a detour alone, he would be able to do it before he took Beiluo and Lancheng! But how did he do it? I know that a strong attack on the outer position of Taierzhuang! All this shows that the Japanese major general opposite us is an unusually stubborn guy! 'Incorrigible Japanese Army', this sentence is just right for Kei Seya! ”
***********************************************
At dawn the next day, the 63rd Wing of the Japanese Army stormed Nanluo. The 188th Regiment of the 706th Division was ordered to flank the Japanese positions. In the process of detouring, Luo Cheng, the commander of the 706th Regiment, found that there was a Japanese artillery position hidden in the small pine forest on the side of the road where the 706th Regiment flanked the 63rd Wing, and was recklessly bombarding the line of Nanluo and Liujiahu, and there were not many Japanese infantry responsible for guarding around this artillery position.
Of course, Regiment Commander Luo would not miss such a good opportunity, and he shouted to the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion: "The little devil is here to show his majesty!" You see, the shells that fell on the head of the 705th Regiment were all fired from here, and today these were raised to touch the knife edge of our 706th Regiment, even if they met the king of Hades! We've got to take these dog-day cannons!"
Hearing Commander Luo's call, the soldiers of the 706th Regiment responded in unison: "Take it!" Blow it up!"
Luo Cheng, the commander of the 706th Regiment, is a big black man with thick shoulders and a round waist, and he has always been brave and decisive in battle. He shook off the hat on his head, took off the cotton military shirt and shirt on his upper body, bare his chest and arms, held a Mauser pistol in each hand, glared angrily, and shouted to the officers and men of the 706th Regiment:
"Let's let these little devils know that we Chinese are not easy to bully!" Strip off your arms and rush with me! ”
With Luo Cheng, the regiment commander, taking the lead, the officers and soldiers of the 706th Regiment roared angrily and rushed to the Japanese artillery position. Armed with grenades and bayonets in their hands, they rushed towards the Japanese artillery like a tide under the leadership of Commander Luo.
The Japanese artillerymen reacted immediately when they saw this scene, and these devils knew very well that they could not fight the 706th Regiment with the strength of the artillery position, so they concentrated their fire on the 706th Regiment while hanging the cannon on the back of the truck and turned around and ran. The officers and men of the 706th Regiment quickly took out the blocking force of the devils, and then chased after the devil's artillery trucks.
