4.82 Battle of Baoshan (1)

I didn't know that a whole brigade of the Japanese army was touched under his nose! What does the 98th Division do?!!

The highest authorities are furious!

As soon as the old man was angry, the phone calls of General Gu and Vice Chief Chen immediately reached Luo Zhuoying's office, the 98th Division is now under the command of the 18th Army, and Luo Zhuoying, the army commander, is to blame!

Commander Luo, who was under pressure from several superiors, did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the 98th Division to move to Yuepu for defense, while Baoshan County was lost to the 302nd Brigade and the 12th Brigade of the 99th Division. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Theater Commander's Department was worried that the strength of the 99th Army was too thin, so the 51st Division in the direction of Jiading moved to the Luodian area to provide support to Huang Haoran's department.

Major General Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu sensed the movements of the 98th Division, but he did not take the opportunity to attack Tsukiura, which was empty.

This is because although the Chinese defenders of Tsukipo are an empty shelf, and the 22nd Brigade of Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu is not a paper tiger?

The number of Japanese transport ships was very limited, and a number of them had been lost in the landing operations in the past few days, and the navy had already been busy with the army's landing needs.

In order to get the combat troops ashore as quickly as possible, Commander Matsui Ishine had the soldiers carry only the minimum amount of weapons and ammunition, and mules, horses, artillery and even heavy machine guns were discarded on the navy's warships.

The soldiers of the 22nd Brigade have basically gone ashore, but due to the hasty action, the weapons and ammunition carried by the 22nd Brigade have been reduced to a very dangerous level.

Most of the soldiers had only one rifle and 50 rounds of rifle ammunition, the artillerymen and machine gunners were empty-handed, and their equipment was still piled up on the beachhead at Chuanshakou.

The 22nd Brigade is also living in fear now!

Another thing that worries Major General Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu is that when he set off from Japan this time, the Ministry of War sent a brigade of two Koreans to the 11th Division for political purposes.

It would have been better if it was a group of North Korean troops, but these more than 1,000 people were South Koreans, and when they landed, they overturned several transport ships, and dozens of people turned into water ghosts, and when they went ashore, they cowered, knowing that the 43rd Infantry Wing of Yoshio Asama had come ashore and used force to drive away these South Korean debris to move forward.

When these Goryeo sticks from the Japanese colonies were in Korea, they only knew how to pimp the ruffians of the Japanese and Korean garrisons everywhere, or rob houses, and the captains of the two brigades all had the faces of Kabuki Street bosses, and Major General Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu wanted to gag when he saw it! The combat effectiveness of such a unit can be imagined!

If it weren't for Major General Shinjiro Amaya of the 10th Brigade who relied on his qualifications to be older, he insisted on stuffing these 2 North Korean brigades to the 22nd Brigade, and Major General Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu would not have let such a scum become his subordinate!

Fortunately, the Japanese officers in charge of training these two brigades had reported to the commander of the Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu Brigade on the warship that these South Koreans could not be used to fight, so Rear Admiral Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu was already mentally prepared.

He ordered Asama Yoshio Daisa's 43rd Infantry Wing to keep a good eye on these South Koreans, not to let them escape, and to let these miscellaneous people take pictures in front of reporters when they overcame the Chinese army's defense line, even if they gave an explanation to the Ministry of War.

The troops are short of weapons, and they have to keep an eye on these South Korean debris.

Major General Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu's hair has fallen out a lot in the past few days, and he can only pray that Amaterasu will bless the Chinese army from taking the initiative to attack!

As a result, the 98th Division and the 22nd Brigade, which were all empty in their hearts, were busy deploying troops and defending their territory, and no one tried to test the strength of the other party.

Almost at the same time as the 98th Division was in place, the 22 Brigade also received their equipment and supplies.

The commanders on both sides breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.......

The Chinese army missed their golden opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the 22 brigade.

The 22 Brigade also missed the best opportunity to capture Wolpo.

In this round, the 11th Division and the 15th Army fought a draw!

The battle in Pudong was hot, with the Wusong Fort fighting inextricably hot, while the Chinese and Japanese armies on the front line of Baoshan, Luodian and Yuepu did not fire a single shot, and they were all gearing up to confront each other.

This stalemate lasted until the Japanese captured the Wusong Fort, when the 3rd Division stepped through the important town of Wusong and began to advance towards Baoshan, the Japanese 11th Division, which had been waiting for a long time in Yuepu and Baoshan, finally began to attack!

The troops of the 99th Army in Baoshan County immediately fell into a sea of fire!

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

Baoshan is the throat of the Yangtze River, and although it is a small city with a radius of less than 5 kilometers, its strategic position is very important.

5 kilometers to the south of Baoshan is the important town of Wusong, 5 kilometers to the west is the Lion Forest Fortress, and the northeast is close to the Yangtze River, and the terrain is prominent. Climb the city and look at it, the river and the sea are together, the water and the sky are the same color, and suddenly feel the vast and magnificent, and the momentum is majestic.

There is a highway bridge leading to Liuhang Town in the west of Baoshan City, which is an important passage for the Japanese army to attack Puxi, Wang Shankui arranged the 2nd battalion of Zheng Tao of the 535th Regiment here, and the sappers of the 99th Army placed zha medicine under the bridge, and if it was a last resort, it would rather destroy the bridge than let the Japanese army advance westward!

The defense of the county town was carried out by the 1st Battalion of the 535th Regiment, the commander of the 1st Battalion, Mei Lin, was a good hand at defensive warfare, and the officers and soldiers under his command were best at civil work.

The remaining two battalions of the 12th Brigade and the 535th Regiment were deployed on both flanks of Baoshan County, and Chen Bing of the 536th Regiment was in the rear of the 12th Brigade, providing support for Xie Wendong's troops.

Wang Shankui's brigade headquarters with the 537th Regiment became the reserve of the whole brigade.

Such an echelon defense configuration of the 302nd Brigade was given the help of von . With the support of Ritchie and Fan Jie, in the face of the menacing 3rd Division and the 11th Division, the defensive battle of Baoshan in the front line can only be a tough battle, and there is no possibility of shortcuts.

Thinking of letting his soldiers use their flesh and blood to fight against the steel of the Japanese army, Huang Haoran's brows furrowed.

He used red and blue pencils to draw back and forth between Wolpo and Baoshan on the battle map, as if he wanted to see through the map.

Chief of Staff Fan understands that the military seat is in a bad mood, and has worked with Huang Haoran for so long, Fan Jie knows that Huang Haoran is very disgusted with such a passive defensive battle, and since the beginning of the war, the 99th Army has basically not fought any defensive battles except for one death on the beachhead and the 11th Division, and every time it has taken the initiative to attack, and has won a lot.

Even in the battle of covering the 12th Brigade for the time being, Shen Laoer's 301st Brigade also picked up Xie Wendong's troops with the guns and bullets of the little devils, and it can be said that the blood of the attack has penetrated into the bones of the officers and soldiers of the 99th Division!

However, the current situation makes the 99th Army have to choose the combat mode they hate the most, and the Japanese army of 2 divisions is no longer something that the 99th Army can defeat alone.

Huang Haoran was still drawing back and forth on the map, and the paper of the map began to become concave, and countless straight lines were drawn between the two landmarks of Yuepu and Baoshan......

The Shen Yuanlong brigade defending Luodian was also attacked by the Japanese army, but the Japanese army invested far less troops in Luodian than Baoshan, and it seems that Matsui Shigen is going to fight steadily and break through the defensive fulcrum of the Chinese army one by one.

For the first time, all units of the 99th Army fell into combat at the same time!
