Chapter 136: The Great Victory over the Isoya Division

7.136 Victory over the Isoya Division

The highest authorities saw through Minister He's thoughts at a glance, and they couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in their hearts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He Jingzhi, He Jingzhi, you can't help but underestimate me Jiang someone! Now in this situation, is it time to cultivate henchmen? If it can't stop the Japanese, the Wuhan government will have to push into the 100,000 mountains of Sichuan! Which is more important, can't you He Jingzhi really see through it?

I'm still pretending to be confused here! It's hateful!

However, these words of the highest authorities can only be thought about in their hearts, after all, Minister He is the elder of the government, and he does not have any too presumptuous performance, so there is no need to make the relationship too stiff.

"I will definitely use it! Hu Zongnan and Tang Enbo still lacked some heat...... In fact, there is another candidate in my mind, what do you think of Xue Boling? ”

Minister Hu didn't expect that the highest authorities would actually use Xue Yue, and he was obviously taken aback, but he quickly figured it out.

From October 1933 to February 1936, for more than two years, Xue Yue and Xue Boling led his troops to travel more than 20,000 miles, helping the highest authorities to bring down the Guizhou warlord Wang Jialie, and also shook the rule of Xikang Provincial Chairman Liu Wenhui in the province by bribing the leaders of the Xikang Red Sect and Tusi, and leaving the Central Army to garrison important places, stabilized Yunnan Provincial Chairman Long Yun, and made great contributions to the supreme authorities' unification of the southwest. With these, the highest authorities should also ensure Xue Yue's bright future!

What's more, Xue Yue, a Guangdong "tiger boy", is still very capable of fighting!

So Minister He gave a thumbs up and said to the highest authorities: "The commission is wise! I see that as soon as Xue Yue and Xue Boling come out, he will definitely become a bright one with Huang Youchen! The Japanese attempt to get their hands on Wuhan will surely fail! ”

What could make the highest authorities happier than holding Wuhan? As soon as Minister He said these few words, the atmosphere of his conversation with the highest authorities suddenly became harmonious again.

*************************************************

Xue Yue, who was far away at the foot of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province, learned that Huang Haoran had surrounded a division and one or two brigades of the Japanese army on the northern line of the Jinpu Road, was carrying out annihilation, and was about to win another big victory.

Xue Yue, formerly known as Xue Yangyue, the word Boling, the milk name Xiaosong, nicknamed "Tiger Boy", is a Hakka family member in Xiaopingshi Village, Jiufeng Town, Lechang County, Shaoguan City, Guangdong.

Xue Yue graduated from the sixth phase of the Baoding Army Military Academy, and after returning to Guangdong, he served as the commander of the first battalion of Sun Yat-sen's guard regiment. During Chen Jiongming's rebellion in 1922, Xue Yue protected Song Qingling from danger. At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, he served as the commander of the First Division of the First Army. Although Xue Yue is young among the generals of the Wuhan government, his qualifications are very old.

Xue Yue was alert and capable, and he had profound combat skills, which made him a young and promising general in the Nanjing government army. In 19O7, Xue Yue, who had just turned 10 years old and was still a naughty child, entered the army primary school. When children of the same age were still playing in the field, he began his career as a horse warrior in the playground and classroom of the army elementary school. Xue Yue, who was still chaotic to the whole world, first understood Sun Tzu's thoughts and military theories, and understood the performance of guns and tactical common sense. In the next 8 years, he climbed higher step by step, first the Wuhan Army Preparatory School, and then the Baoding Military Academy, during which he also went to the battlefield to practice what he learned from the military academy with blood and fire. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, this beautiful young man with clear eyebrows became an excellent captain and staff officer and threw himself into the battlefield.

In 1924, at the age of 27, Xue Yue became the chief of staff of the major general of the Eighth Division of the main force of the Guangdong Army. However, Xue Yue, who had great ambitions, was not satisfied with his status as a staff member, and he was more eager to have the power in his hands and realize his bold ideas one after another on the battlefield. He's the kind of guy who never gets himself satisfied. In order to make his dreams come true, he often even rushed to the forefront of the battle. No matter what battle sequence he is in, he is often the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, which is actually the best compliment to his ability to fight.

After the Battle of Songhu, Xue Yue led his troops to withdraw to the border of Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi, and was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in the Third Theater. After that, Xue Yue successively established guerrilla base areas in the Huangshan Mountains and Tianmu Mountain, commanded all units of the Third Theater to advance behind enemy lines in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui, and launched guerrilla warfare against Beijing-Hangzhou, Shanghai-Hangzhou, and other communication lines and the Yangtze River waterway, containing a large number of effective forces of the Japanese army, stabilizing the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, and effectively cooperating with Huang Haoran's battle on the Jinpu Road.

Xue Yue was not surprised by Huang Haoran's victory on the northern line of Jinpu Road. As the Chinese troops on the battlefield in North China retreated one after another, the arrogant Japanese North China Front Army had long since lost any taboos! Any small unit dares to run around on Chinese soil, and sometimes an infantry wing dares to run hundreds of kilometers away from the main force! If you come across a level-headed hunter, the beast is bound to fall into a trap carefully designed by the hunters.

Xue Yue just thought that he was the hunter who could catch this beast. But now he lacked something in his hand. Then this is the power of war! Huang Haoran's beautiful annihilation battles fought on the battlefield in East China had long made it difficult for Xue Yue to control himself!

You must fight a beautiful annihilation battle like Huang Haoran fought in Lishui! It was not a matter of a day or two that Xue Yue had this thought.

At the time of the Battle of Songhu, Huang Haoran was just a small division commander! Xue Yue, on the other hand, was ordered by the highest authorities to personally lead the 14th Army into the Songhu battlefield and serve as the defense of the central area of the left flank!

What kind of battle is that? Japanese planes flew everywhere in the sky! The Japanese heavy artillery on the ground bombarded wildly, and the chariots rushed rampantly, but the tens of thousands of soldiers under Xue Yue could only die in the bunker overturned by artillery fire! Using flesh and blood to block the attack of the Japanese, where is this called war, it is purely to send to death!

Although Xue Yue didn't dare to close his eyes day and night, calmly commanded, and the officers and men of the 14th Group Army also desperately supported it, but in the end they were defeated, and they were defeated extremely badly! When the troops were counted after retreating, there were only two or three out of ten survivors. In other words, Xue Yue threw seventy or eighty percent of his brothers on the front line in Songhu. This result made Xue Yue's head "buzz"!

After reviewing and summarizing the gains and losses, Xue Yue came to his conclusion. A strategic mistake was enough to ruin the troops, and the only way to defend the defense was to wait to be beaten and to die. You have to attack and pounce aggressively on your opponent to protect yourself!

Subsequently, Huang Haoran's battle in Lishui, Nanjing, which severely damaged the 114th Division, confirmed that Xue Yue's conclusion was correct! From Songhu to Nanjing, Xue Yue is still standing still, but Huang Haoran has firmly completed the triple jump from division commander to army commander, and then from army commander to group army commander!

After the Battle of Xuzhou began, Huang Haoran became the deputy commander of the 5th Theater and the former commander-in-chief of the enemy! From this time on, Xue Yue lagged behind!

Young celebrity, this term that once belonged to Xue Yue is now firmly on Huang Haoran's head!

To catch up with Huang Haoran, you need to establish meritorious service! Military power, Xue Yue is now more eager for military power than ever!

The battle on the northern line of Jinpu Road is about to come to an end, and Huang Haoran is destined to create another miracle! And the tactics used by Huang Haoran were exactly the same as what Xue Yue envisioned. Xue Yue admired Huang Haoran very much, but he envied Huang Haoran even more! With a good boss like Chief Li behind his back, the highest authorities are willing to put all the most elite Central Army into it! It's really more popular than people!

Xue Yue was sad that he had not been favored by luck. There were even a few days when he was very depressed and scratched his heart.

The Tunxi Mountains in southern Anhui are far away from the front line, and they are not the stage that Xue Yue needs, and the rumbling guns and cannons on the battlefield in Xuzhou have already disturbed him. After several months of suffering, Xue Yue finally received a letter of appointment stamped with the seal of the Kuomintang Military Commission, and he will be appointed commander-in-chief of the First Corps of the First Theater of Operations.

Xue Yue, who was excited, had prepared the handover of military affairs early, and he was now waiting for the arrival of his successor, and then he could go north to Kaifeng and run to the Central Plains filled with gunsmoke......

***************************************************

The remnants of Zaozhuang's Isoya Division finally ushered in the dark night of April 15th, and the Chinese army, which had been attacking for several days, finally showed a trace of fatigue, and Isoya Ryosuke felt that tonight would be the last chance for the Isoya Division!

The Itagaki Division in the direction of Linyi was strongly blocked by Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army, Pang Bingxun's 3rd Army and several other Chinese divisions, and Itagaki Seishiro shouted on the radio from the night of the 14th that he was about to break through Linyi, and now 24 hours have passed, and the 5th Division is still in place!

Ryosuke Isoya decides not to wait any longer, and tonight he is going to make a last-ditch effort! After dark, Ryosuke Isoya quietly withdrew all the Japanese troops facing the 25th Army and Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Army from their positions and concentrated on the Aoyama line.

Xie Wendong's 188th Division struggled to hold out in Qingshan for several days and suffered heavy losses. From noon on the 15th, the 188th Division had already withdrawn from the blocking position. They were replaced by the 85th Army of the Tang Enbo Corps, commander Wang Zhonglian.

At the instigation of Chen Daqing, the commander of the 4th Division, Wang Zhonglian sent a secret telegram to Tang Enbo, requesting that the blocking positions on the front line of Qingshan and Fushan be abandoned, so that the Isoya Division and the Sakamoto detachment converge, and then concentrate their forces to fight a battle of annihilation. Tang Enbo called back and told Wang Zhonglian that he had called Wuhan to ask the highest authorities. Now Wang Zhonglian, with Chen Daqing, commander of the 4th Division, and Zhang Xuezhong, commander of the 89th Division, are waiting for Tang Enbo's second call by the radio

I don't know why, Wang Zhonglian's heart suddenly felt a little irritable, he suddenly sat up from the chair and paced around the military headquarters!

"Throne! You don't have to worry! The commission has always taken good care of our 20 regiments, and this time it will definitely not leave us alone! Didn't the reinforcements of the Central Army come up? I heard that there will be troops from the Gui and Yunnan departments arriving later! Our 20th Legion has been fighting for so long, it's time to retire and rest! ”

Chen Daqing's mood is always so optimistic, a general like him from Whampoa always feels that their principal will definitely lend a helping hand to them at the most critical time, but Wang Zhonglian doesn't see it that way.

Wang Zhonglian felt that the highest authorities wanted to get this victory in Taierzhuang even more!

"Junza, I believe Wuhan will call back soon! As long as we wait a little longer, we'll see!"

Zhang Xuezhong is much more slippery than Chen Daqing, he has never left the radio, after all, waiting for the "will" of the highest authorities is the most important thing now!

"Silk.... Silk... Beep Boom"

Suddenly there was a radio wave sound from the radio, and Wang Zhonglian pulled the director of the confidential department next to him over, pointed to the radio and ordered loudly: "Quick! Close! Translate it right away!"

Zhang Xuezhong and Chen Daqing's faces were full of excitement, and they said happily: "The commission replied to the commander's telegram so quickly, I think it is an order for us to retreat!" The principal still takes good care of us students! ”

Wang Zhonglian glared at Zhang Xuezhong and Chen Daqing, did not speak, he kept standing beside the chief of the confidential section and staring at the pen in the hand of the chief of the confidential section, when the chief of the confidential section finished writing the last word, Wang Zhonglian had already read all the content!

Wang Zhonglian turned around, his face was like a piece of paper! Zhang Xuezhong and Chen Daqing lost their voices: "No! Throne! ”

"See for yourselves!"

Wang Zhonglian said weakly, then pointed to the telegram on the table, and the head of the confidential section picked up the telegram and handed it to Zhang Xuezhong and Chen Daqing.

Although they had already seen Wang Zhonglian's reaction, Zhang Xuezhong and Chen Daqing still had a trace of luck in their hearts, they took the message and quickly swept it, and then they also became as dead as Wang Zhonglian!

The telegram reads like this:

"The message of the commission is as follows, I hope you brothers will cherish it! Fight to the death! ”

It is the greatest warning that Towne can write such a head-up!

"It has been more than a few days since the victory of Taizhuang, and the Isogu Division is especially present in Zaozhuang. I hesitated and was anxious. With the victorious army and the main force to pursue and reinforce the exhausted Kou, do not rush to annihilate within a time limit, once the enemy's reinforcements arrive, the resurrection of the ashes is no different from the success of the accomplishment and self-defeating future troubles. Wan Wang encouraged the soldiers to attack hard, and while blocking the attack in separate ways, they must wipe out all the remnants within a day or two. If there is a move to let the tiger return to the mountain, and the enemy is afraid of the enemy, then the officers above the brigade commander will sit together! .......”

The highest authorities made it very clear in the telegram that Wuhan must completely annihilate the entire Isogu Division, and if anyone spoils the good deeds of the highest authorities, then the Military Commission will absolutely not show mercy!

Officers above the brigade commander are all seated! Isn't it true that even Town, the commander of the legion, can't save his own life? No wonder Commander Tang would shout at the opening of the message, "Fight to the death with the enemy!" ”

The situation is very clear! Whether it is a high-ranking officer, taking a step back is death! It's better to fight with the Japanese army to the end, at most the old book is gone, but you can still save your life!

After all, the 20th Army Corps is the Central Army, as long as the wishes of the highest authorities are returned, this man and equipment will still be replenished!

Wang Zhonglian said to Zhang Xuezhong and Chen Daqing in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, Master Zhang, Master Chen!" I order the two of you divisions to defend the Qingfu defense line, and the military special service group will directly supervise the battle to the front line! Whoever wavers and retreats, there is no forgiveness! ”

These murderous words made Zhang Xuezhong and Chen Daqing couldn't help but shrink their necks at the same time.

***************************************************

The 85th Army fought a bloody night and blocked the final blow of the Isoya Division at the cost of more than 3,000 casualties. After discovering Isotani's moves, the 25th Army pursued and killed, and finally at dawn on the 16th, the Isoya Division was surrounded in front of the position of the 85th Army, and the onslaught continued!

Shen Laoer and Wang Shankui personally supervised the battle to the front line, and in order to eliminate the last strength of the Isogu Division as soon as possible, the 189th and 121st Divisions of the 25th Group Army launched a group charge against the Isogu Division!

The 99th Division and the 139th Division detoured back to the flank of the Isogu Division, and cooperated with the 85th Army to thrust into the back of the Isogu Division! The remaining thousands of Japanese troops were divided into three pieces, and then several divisions were freely combined.

Shi Jincai's artillery regiment was also fully invested in the front line, except for the 15 cm howitzer that did not participate in the battle, and the 75 mm mountain gun was used as a flat-fire gun by the artillery regiment's artillery, almost against the front line of the Japanese army!

Under the intensive artillery fire of the Chinese army, the number of remnants of the Isoya Division was rapidly decreasing, and the commander of the 10th Division, Ryosuke Isotani, saw that he could no longer do anything, so he and the commander of the 8th Infantry Brigade, Major General Se Takehei, drove out in two ways in a chariot, as a result, the chariot in which Major General Se Buhei was riding was hit by the 25th Army's anti-aircraft artillery unit, Major General Se Takehei escaped from the chariot and took off his military uniform, rode a war horse to escape, and the commander of the 40th Wing, Yoshio Nagano, was killed on the spot.

Ryosuke Isoya's chariot was mired, and the commander of the 10th Division had no choice but to abandon the chariot and flee on horseback instead.

As it was already dawn, Ryosuke Isoya and his division headquarters were quickly exposed to the sight of the Chinese army, and the 99th Army and the 100th Army sent cavalry to chase after him, and finally caught up with Ryosuke Isoya before he fled into the mountains, cutting off Ryosuke Isoya's left arm. Later, Ryosuke Isoya escaped under the escort of the chief of staff of the 10th Division, Tsutsumi Buka, and the commander of the 10th Wing, Akashiba Yaezo Osa, and others.

As of 16 o'clock in the afternoon of April 16, the Chinese troops in the 5th theater had annihilated more than 25,000 Japanese troops under the command of Huang Haoran. He killed more than 10 senior Japanese officers, including Major General Kei Setani, commander of the 33rd Infantry Brigade, Yoshio Nagano, commander of the 40th Infantry Wing, Mahei Fukuei, commander of the 63rd Infantry Wing, Captain of the 10th Cavalry Wing, Sadazo Nakasa, commander of the 10th Field Artillery Wing, Haruji Taniguchi, commander of the 10th Field Artillery Wing, Suma Gakuyuki Osa, and Captain of the 10th Light and Heavy Infantry Wing, Maeno Shiro Osa.

More than 90 artillery pieces, more than 30 chariots, more than 200 automobiles, more than 2,000 horses, and countless guns and ammunition were seized

At this point, the entire Isogu Division was annihilated, and the second phase of the Battle of Taierzhuang ended!

Next, hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops in the 5 theater of operations focused their attention on the Sakamoto detachment, which was surrounded by the 20 Corps!

After learning the news of the total annihilation of the Isoya Division, Seishiro Itagaki immediately ordered the main force of the 5th Division to move closer to the Sakamoto detachment at all costs, and finally used poison gas bombs against the Chinese defenders of Linyi City, and finally succeeded in breaking through the Linyi defense line!

Zhang Zizhong and Pang Bingxun both sent warnings to Huang Haoran that the 5th Division went south from Linyi!

Huang Haoran easily relaxed a little, and his nerves tightened again! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
