7.129 The crisis of the Isoya Division

Yu Shanfu didn't even have time to comprehend the "latest spirit" conveyed by the heralds, and the observation post at the front of the position shouted loudly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Tuanza! The devil infantry is up again! There is a brigade enough! ”

Hearing the news of the arrival of a large number of Japanese troops, Yu Shanfu quickly jumped up from the ground and shouted loudly: "Quick! Get into position! Get ready for battle! ”

Because Yu Shanfu had been buried in the floating soil for a long time before, there was a lack of oxygen, and after roaring this voice, Yu Shanfu suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and then he planted it forward. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of the 707th Regiment who were standing next to them were quick to catch Yu Shanfu and then put their regimental seat on the edge of the trench, allowing Yu Shanfu to lie on the ground to recover his strength.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the voices of the officers and men of the 707th Regiment warning each other came and went, spreading farther and farther. Yu Shanfu's troops had always used this method of manpower succession to convey battle orders, which was an old habit they had brought with them from Hu Zongnan's 1st Army.

"Tuanza! Are you hurt? ”

Since the position of the 1st Battalion and the 3rd Company was closest to the location of the 707th Regiment Headquarters, Han Laosi, the commander of the 3rd Company, became the first combat unit officer to run in front of Yu Shanfu.

Company Commander Han first glanced at the old site of the regimental headquarters that was blown up by Japanese shells, and then bent down along the trench and walked to Yu Shanfu's side, sat on the ground against the trench wall and asked Yu Shanfu with concern:

"Tuanza! Are you hurt? ”

"Shut your crow's mouth! Lao Tzu is good! Hurry up and let your soldiers go to the regimental headquarters to see if there are any officers alive who are not ......"

The feeling of dizziness has not disappeared, and Yu Shanfu can't open his eyes at all now, so he can only put his head against the loess on the edge of the trench and close his eyes to answer Company Commander Han's question.

Company Commander Han turned his head and glanced at the regimental headquarters that had been blown into ruins, and then turned around and whispered to Yu Shanfu: "I'll forget it, Tuanzao!" Even if you can pick it out now, you won't be able to get it alive, so it's better to bury it like this, and save a few coffin boards......"

Listening to Company Commander Han's words, Yu Shanfu didn't know where the strength came from, he straightened up suddenly and punched an old punch in the direction from which the voice came, and the commander of Han Company grinned.

"Less cool talk! Hurry up and dig it! The staff officers of the regiment headquarters are not very old, and they are all raised by their parents with a soak of and urine! Gotta give an explanation! I have to ask them to leave something to send home! ”

Yu Shanfu's speech was very fast, like a heavy machine gun firing repeatedly, and when it came to the place of excitement, Yu Shanfu opened his eyes and stretched out his finger to point at Han Company Commander, and then shouted:

"As long as you don't jump out of the cracks in the stones, and you still have your father and mother at home, maybe there will be a day when you need someone to help deliver things! I don't want people to say the same about you! ”

After listening to what Yu Shanfu said, Lian Commander Han was a little silent. A few seconds later, Company Commander Han got up and waved at several officers and soldiers of the third company who were squatting in the trench, and said loudly: "Dig!" Find out all the brothers buried underneath! ”

The Sakamoto detachment, which had already seen the power of Chinese artillery, did not send any more combat vehicles to act as attack arrows. These "Iron King VIII", who used to be the king and hegemonic in front of the Chinese officers and soldiers, can now only stay in the distance and serve as "mobile batteries."

Because the caliber of the tank guns equipped with Japanese tanks is relatively small, there is almost no advantage over the range mountain and the battle defense artillery, which is doomed to the shells fired by the devil tanks that dare not enter the range of the Chinese artillery will not reach the target, and can only lift some dirt in front of the position of the 707th regiment, like a smoke screen!

Yu Shanfu, who had recovered almost fifty percent of his strength, raised his binoculars and began to observe the enemy's situation. Since the Japanese chariots did not dare to get involved, the Japanese infantry with the 38 big cover became the protagonist of the attack.

Most of these devils in Sakamoto's detachment are veterans of battle, which can be easily distinguished from the skirmish lines they line.

Most of the devils who dare to keep their distance from their companions and fight separately are veterans. The newly baked recruits are worried that they always like to huddle together and embolden each other when attacking! The distance between each of the devil soldiers on the attack line of the Sakamoto detachment is very wide, which is the best explanation.

As the forward position of the 707th Regiment got closer and closer, the devil soldiers in the skirmish line began to break away from the brigade in twos and threes. Immediately afterwards, the "old three" of grenadiers, crooked handles, and Type 92 heavy machine guns made a grand debut.

Yu Shanfu felt very puzzled, how did these rigid little Japan occupy half of China with this set of unchanged playing styles? The Anti-Japanese War has been fought for more than half a year, and the little devil is still playing this old thing, and he is not too tired of panicking?

Huang Haoran's 25th Group Army had already fought with the Japanese army many times, and it was naturally quite experienced in dealing with the Japanese army's conventional fighting style. In addition, the 25th Army has a good habit of summing up tactical experience after the war, and although the 188th Division has not been formed for a long time, it also knows how to use the devils of this set of tactics.

First, concentrate mortars and grenadiers against the crooked handles and heavy machine guns that the devils put behind the skirmishers, and then use light and heavy machine guns to deal with the devil infantry with bayonets, and at the same time arrange for special shooters to deal with the devil's grenadiers and the officers in the queue. The principle of this set of highly targeted countermeasures summed up by the 25th Group Army is somewhat like "Tian Ji Horse Racing", which follows the path of dismounting against upper horse, upper horse against middle horse, and middle horse against dismounting, which can be regarded as the right medicine for the situation.

The course of the ensuing battle was almost identical to the previous dozen attacks, and the offensive of the Sakamoto detachment was once again contained by the 707th Regiment. After ten minutes of fierce fighting, the Sakamoto detachment had to end the battle, which had no hope of victory at all. Looking at the Japanese soldiers who threw away their armor and dragged their rifles back, Major General Sakamoto Shun felt a little frustrated!

Major General Shun Sakamoto, who is the head of the detachment, is still like this, and the mood of the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers of the Sakamoto detachment can be imagined how low it has been!

Morale is a very strange thing, and when it is high, it can make the troops invincible, like a divine help! But once it disperses, it is difficult to reassemble.

The tenacious performance of the 188th Division has turned the Sakamoto detachment, which was pursued by the 20th Army Corps, into a frightened bird! There is almost no strength to fight again!

Now, Major General Shun Sakamoto had to pin his hopes on the Isoya Division, which was far away from the 188th Division and his Sakamoto detachment......

Success or failure depends on Ryosuke Isoya!

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

Tang Enbo had an intelligence network in Wuhan, so he knew very well how eager the top authorities were for the results of the total annihilation of the Isogu Division!

If Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps had made a mistake at this time, resulting in the 5th Theater not being able to completely annihilate the Isogu Division, the highest authorities would definitely not let him go!

Now is not the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War! After the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops on the frontal battlefield and the fall of large swathes of the country, the hearts of the highest authorities have turned into a piece of ice! Now in order to achieve victory, in order to gain popular support and keep his position as leader, the highest authorities can not care about anything!

Even the military law, which had always been dull and dull, suddenly became sharper!

On January 21, 38, the Military Commission of the Wuhan Government issued an important announcement to the whole country: on the one hand, it reaffirmed the praise of Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu, Hao Mengling and other anti-Japanese martyrs, and at the same time dealt with more than 40 generals and officers who were derelict in their duties in the War of Resistance.

Li Fuying, commander of the 61st Army, and Gao Yangru, brigade commander who gave up Yanbei Tianzhen, were sentenced to death by the Military Commission! Xiang Hanping, deputy commander-in-chief of the 19th Group Army, and Deng Longguang, division commander, were given a major demerit; Liu Heding, commander of the 39th Army, and 10 people, including division commanders Li Songshan, Zhou Zuhuang, Xu Qiming, and Yang Guozhen, were removed from their posts and retained in their posts, and they made meritorious contributions to their crimes; Division commanders Luo Lin, Wu Jianxiong, and Chen Wancheng and the following 10 people were removed from their posts for investigation. In addition, 8 people below the brigade commander level were dismissed, 2 people were dismissed from their posts and never used again, and 1 person was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

In order to rectify military discipline, 42 senior officers were disposed of at one time, which is extremely rare in the history of the Republic of China! One can imagine how much the highest authorities have hated the successive defeats of the Chinese army on the battlefield!

However, until that time, senior generals of the Central Army like Tang Enbo still had a trace of luck in their hearts, thinking that their "commission" would open up to them.

But three days later, on January 24, Tang Enbo and his colleagues waited for the news that Han Fuyu, chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, deputy commander of the 5th Theater, and commander-in-chief of the 3rd Group Army, was sentenced to death and executed by the High Military Law Committee of the Military Commission of the Wuhan Government on charges of fleeing without a fight!

At this time, Tang Enbo suddenly remembered that this supreme authority who doted on his subordinates was actually the same person as the "principal" who led the student soldiers to kill political enemies and kill decisively in Whampoa!

Han Fuyu, the army general, was shot and executed, giving a strong shock to all the senior generals of the Chinese army! So much so that many army generals today admonish each other privately before going to war:

"It is better to die on the battlefield than to die in the law of the land."

Every time he hears this, he feels his scalp tingle!

Died on the battlefield? No! He couldn't accept such an ending! He has a great future ahead of him! His little group is just getting started! He didn't want to die yet!

Holding the call back from Huang Haoran, Tang Enbo shook his head and smiled bitterly!

Good for you, Huang Haoran! How can you be so generous in saying words that make others die! It seems that you, the "famous anti-Japanese general", are not only very powerful on the battlefield, but also have some means in the officialdom!

No wonder Chen Cixiu, who is deeply trusted by the highest authorities, is quite jealous of Huang Haoran!

That's it! The capital is the capital, and you have to have a life to spend it! Now for the sake of his own life, Tang Enbo can only ignore the capital!

Throughout the day of April 12, the three corps of the 20th Army Corps and the Isoya Division and the Sakamoto Detachment launched a desperate struggle, and in the face of the pleas and complaints of Wang Zhonglian, the commander of the 85th Army, Chen Daqing, the commander of the 4th Division, and Zhang Xue, the commander of the 89th Division, Tang Enbo all blocked back with the same few words!

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while! For the future of our people! Ladies and gentlemen! Let's fight it...! ”

The last sentence "Let's fight it...!" "The unwillingness and helplessness in Tang Enbo's heart are exhausted!

However, in the end, the "lineage" is still the "lineage", and the 20th Legion is still very powerful when it comes to fighting hard! Being able to defend under the onslaught of more than 10,000 Japanese troops, Tang Enbo is also a character!

It's a pity that because of the previous dirty performance of the 20th Army, the miscellaneous generals now, including Chief Li, will not have any sympathy for Tang Enbo at all!

It is very appropriate to use the five words "thankless" to describe the current situation of the Tang Army!

In the end, it was Huang Haoran, the deputy commander of the theater and the former commander-in-chief of the enemy in Taierzhuang, who remembered Tang Enbo and sent a telegram of encouragement. Huang Haoran expressed in the telegram that he hoped that the Tang Army would make persistent efforts and fight bloody battles with the Japanese army to ensure the smooth implementation of the encirclement plan. He also said that he would definitely ask for credit from the highest authorities for Tang Enbo!

said a few cheap words in exchange for the lives of the three armies of the 20th Legion, Huang Haoran made a lot of money in this business!

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

When the Isoya Division stormed the 20th Army, the units of the 25th Army also launched a fierce attack on the Isoya Division!

The 55th Army cooperated with the 121st Division and the 187th Division to follow behind the 33rd Brigade that had withdrawn from Yixian, and forced the commander of the Seya Kai Brigade to divide some troops to serve as the rear guard three times to block the attack.

Of course, Cao Fulin, Wu Jianping, and Liu Zhaomu would not be polite to Seya Qi, and they also constantly divided their troops to besiege the rearguard of the Seya Brigade. Usually after Seya Kai left 200 troops to break off, Cao Fulin and they left 2,000 troops to besiege! The tenfold superiority in strength made these three battles of annihilation end quickly, and Seya Kai lost his wife and his troops, and did not get rid of the pursuers, and lost a considerable part of his troops.

At the same time, the operation to block the enemy's reinforcements in the 5th Theater was also launched at the same time, and Pang Bingxun's regiment, which had lost its combat objective, followed the order of Commander Li and infiltrated the area north of Yanzhou with powerful troops to carry out guerrilla operations, so as to cooperate with the annihilation war carried out by Huang Haoran.

On the night of the 12th, Pang Bingxun's 40th Army attacked Yanzhou at night, annihilated the enemy, and destroyed the railway north of Yanzhou; The 57th Army blew up many places on the Dawenkou Railway, derailing several Japanese trains; On the same night, Han Deqin's 89th Army attacked Dawenkou Airport at night and blew up eight Japanese planes.

The continuous actions of the 5th theater of operations made the commander of the Japanese North China Front, General Terauchi Shouichi, feel the danger, and while he ordered the Isoya Division in the direction of Linyi to move closer to the Sakamoto detachment at any cost, he ordered a Japanese division in the direction of Shanxi to move to the Xuzhou battlefield!

But after all, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the Isoya Division and Sakamoto Detachment, who are in the encirclement, urgently need strong support! Due to the continuous movement operations, the food and ammunition carried by the Isoya Division and the Sakamoto Detachment were greatly lost, and the commander of the Isoya Ryosuke Division had already received a warning from the chief of staff, Tsutsumi Bu Gui Daisa, that the 10th Division's military rations were about to run out!

"How so!? Isn't it said that the military rations can still last for five days? ”

The staff officers in the headquarters of the 10th Division have become accustomed to the roaring appearance of Isoya Ryosuke, and since the Isoya Division broke through Teng County, Isoya Ryosuke has not been in a good mood, and sometimes even beats and scolds junior officers.

"The military rations of the five days are the numbers on the books, at least half of which are trapped in Teng County, after recapturing Lincheng, the 10th Wing transported the nearby military rations into the city and prepared to rely on the city wall to defend it, but it was later broken by the 99th Division, the ace of China, and it was almost lost! In addition, the Seya Brigade abandoned all supplies in order to break through. Now the remaining wing has military rations to supply the entire division, and I am afraid it will be difficult not to see tomorrow! ”

Tsutsumi Bujia Gui Dasa felt that he was becoming more and more like an owl, always bringing bad news at night, and he was now a little afraid of getting dark.

"So what now? Do you want my soldiers to go hungry to war? Fighting requires physical strength! ”

Tsutsumi Bu Jia Gui Osa can fully understand Isoya Ryosuke's anxiety. The Japanese army's logistical supply has always been very poor, and the field troops are always required to loot civilian food for military rations. This is doomed to sooner or later an army will pay the price for the issue of military rations!

The method of local requisition worked in the first few months of the full-scale war of aggression against China, because the Chinese people had not yet seen the ferocity of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army was always able to achieve a quick victory, taking one city after another filled with grain and replenishing it on the spot. So the problem of poor logistics is hidden.

There was even a division commander of a Japanese army division who arrogantly said to the logistics officer of the front army: "Please fill the truck carrying military rations with ammunition!" The rations of the divisions of the Great Japanese Army should be begged for from the saber! ”

But such a happy period did not last long, since Matsui Ishine's Central China Front caused the Nanjing Massacre, all Chinese regarded the Japanese army as a mortal enemy! In many parts of Shandong, the local people carried out a fortified clearing of the Japanese army, and did not sell a grain to the Japanese army.

The logistics officers of the Japanese army divisions shouted bitterly: "The Chinese now regard the imperial army as their enemy!" In this period, even with gold bars and silver dollars, there is no way to buy enough military food from the hands of the Chinese! What the military department provided us with is still a military ticket like waste paper! ”

In desperation, the army divisions of the North China Front could only use bayonets and bullets to levy rations for themselves, which led to the local people becoming more hostile to the Japanese army.

Such a vicious circle finally caused problems in the supply of military rations to all Japanese troops on the battlefield in China!

Now that the Isoya Division has lost its own military rations, where will they get their food?

The battle in Taierzhuang has already caused the nearby people to flee completely! And now the Isoya Division is in the encirclement of the Chinese army, even if it is robbed, there is nowhere to rob it!

Of course, Ryosuke Isoya would not think that he would be able to lead the hungry and weak 10th Division to block the hundreds of thousands of wolf-like Chinese troops around him! If the supply of military rations is really cut off, within three days, the combat effectiveness of the 10th Division will drop sharply!

"Your Excellency the division commander, we can only think of the North China Front Command to rescue! Ask Army Airlines to give us an airdrop! ”

Di Bujia Gui Dazuo gave a suggestion that seemed to be quite reasonable, although he knew very well in his heart that relying on airdrops for supplies would not be able to meet the needs of 1 army division!

"Make up for the deficiencies with military horses! You can also let the soldiers go to find wild vegetables, and the emperor's warriors will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties! ”

Isoya Ryosuke didn't have to worry about the embankment anymore, since it was very likely that he would not be able to meet the needs of the officers and soldiers of the 10th Division materially, he had to rely on mental perseverance!

The "omnipotent" bushido may be able to defeat an empty belly...... (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.) )
