Section VIII Southern Route III

The third part of the Bloody War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression of the Republic of China, the second chapter, the eighth section of the Jinpu Road Defensive Battle, the southern front

minutes. /。 qВ5, cOm/More than 100 Japanese soldiers in yellow uniforms appeared at the bottom of the hillside, and they calmly walked towards the formation. The Chinese soldiers, who were hiding three hundred meters away, quickly rushed into battle. The company commander quickly directed the troops into defensive positions.

Getting closer. The squadron on the opposite side did not open fire. Nervous. The officer waved his shiny command knife and shouted hooray. The soldiers shouted and ran wildly. The shiny bayonet reflected a white glow in the sunlight.

"Hit!"

With this command. A rain of bullets poured out on the array. The officer who led the charge fell headlong. The Yellow Man Wave is weakened by one layer. The rest immediately prostrate on their feet. Like a pile of yellow stools.

Ma Dazhu lay in the trench. He just killed a little devil. Look at the blood glowing on the man's chest. Then he looked up to the sky and fell. He didn't have time to enjoy that satisfaction in his heart. A bullet slashed past his ear. Frightened, he hurriedly lay on it.

Bullets fly in the air. Played for a while. Ma Da pile is in trouble. These little devils are goblins. The form of the use that understands very well. The marksmanship is not bad. The machine gun has already stopped twice. The shooter has already changed two.

Get on the trigger. Aim. Establish. Ma Dazhu kept repeating this**. "Boom!". Grenadier canisters. These three words flashed through my mind. He looked up. More than 400 meters square. Two devils are hiding in a crater and operating a grenadier.

Ma Dazhu immediately pointed the gun at the side of the one. The observer cautiously poked his head out to look this way. Suddenly, he leaned back. Ma Dazhuan was resentful, he knew it when he saw this move. The snipers in the company robbed him of his life...... Overall, it is good for the defenders. The defender occupies the advantageous shape. As long as the comparison of the archery skills of the two sides is not too different. The defender is always advantageous. Fought for a while. The Japanese retreated, and the horses turned over and leaned against the trenches. As a veteran. He knows it. It was only a tentative attack by the Japanese army. A larger offensive is yet to come.

"The second platoon, the fourth shift, and the fifth shift stayed. The deputy platoon commander of the third platoon commanded. His retreat. The company commander's shout echoed over the company. The soldiers packed up. Prepare to take it down.

"Deputy Platoon Commander Wang is dead."

"The fourth squad leader commanded. The others hurriedly withdrew, and the shelling began again. ”

Someone retreated along the trench to the outside of the formation, and just walked out of the trench less than fifty meters. The Japanese shelling began again.

This time the shelling was much more intense than just now. Shells of various calibers rained down, and the dust kicked up by the explosion obscured the sky. Clods of dirt fall from the sky. An hour later. Ma Dazhuan followed the troops and rushed into battle, and the real fierce battle began.

That feeling of Tani Toshio fell to the commander of the 9th Division, Yoshizumi Ryosuke. The squadron in front of him seems to be invincible. The attack continued throughout the day. The front had advanced less than three miles. And they have already paid for the lives of nearly a thousand imperial warriors.

The squadron on the opposite side had a whole corps. But Yoshizumi is not for that, that's the reason. According to the calculations of the emperor ** team. Without 100,000 squadrons, it is impossible to block his attack, and an army in front of him is nothing.

"Change the direction of attack here." Ryosuke Yoshizumi pointed to a point on the map and said to Chief of Staff Hiroshi Nakagawa in a gloomy voice.

Hiroshi Nakagawa looked at the point that Yoshizumi pointed to. It was a series of hills, judging by the effect of today's offensive. Resistance in this area is relatively weak: "Yes. Excellency. ”

"I'm afraid this guy Gu Shoufu is in the middle of it." Yoshizumi muttered a little frustratedly. Hear this. Nakagawa couldn't help but smile in his heart. The 9th Division and the 6th Division were all famous for their good fighting in the Japanese army. The officers of the two divisions were not convinced by each other. Privately, I often fight. During the Song battle, the Sixth Division fought against Shenwei. After the landing of Jinshanwei. First, it seized Minhang. Then cross the Taihu Lake. In one fell swoop, it hit the soft underbelly of the Chinese defenders. The first contribution was made to break through the Xicheng line. Crisscrossing Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Got out of the limelight. The Ninth Division was defeated. The officers and men of the division and regiment breathed a sigh of relief. I plan to regain face in the Jinpu Line operation.

Time. They are going well. The Sixth Division was struggling. The whole division was excited. But now ....... According to the information from the General Command of the Southern Front. The 6th Division has broken through the defense line of the squadron. Attack the city of Mingguang. If they can't break through the defense of the squadron on time. Short-distance packets will fail.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke's order was carried out quickly. The next day, the Japanese army adjusted its deployment. The direction of the main attack shifted to the junction of the 28th and 49th Divisions. Fierce fighting until noon. The Japanese broke through the defensive line of the section of the section. The squadron shrinks the defensive line. Turn towards the line of the small stone bridge in the heart.

On the whole, the advance of the 9th and 6th Divisions was smooth. However, the 3rd Division was attacked by the squadron ** on the front line of Wudian Liufu. The 45th Army of the 23rd Group Army did not give up an inch of land.

The fighting in this area is completely different from the other two directions. It's completely a hard collision of Fang's strength. Deng Xihou finally found a comfortable way to fight. He left two divisions of the 41st Army to guard Beng. Let the 45th Army go out to Wudian Liu's Mansion. Five days of bloody fighting with the 3rd Division. Successfully stopped the offensive of the 3rd Division.

on this case. The commander of the 3rd Division, Fujita Susuru, was helpless

The 3rd Division was also unlucky. They were the first to be put into the Songhu battlefield and have been undertaking major combat missions ever since. The ministry suffered heavy losses. Hit to the late stage. The 3rd Division has actually lost its combat effectiveness. It's just that the division is conquering Nanjing. Establish Yao's ** below. A special unit was formed. Participated in the battle to attack Jiangyin. The Battle of Jiangyin was even more of a tough battle. Postwar. The original division of more than 20,000 people remained, and only more than 7,000 people remained. Of course, it is much better than the 18th Division and the 114th Division. In total, there were only more than 4,000 men left in these two divisions. This also includes a significant number of the wounded. Nevertheless. The 3rd Division was also badly damaged. There are too many reservists in the replenishment. The loss of 100,000 soldiers. There are not enough domestic roots. Skilled reservists. Fujita himself estimated that the division's combat effectiveness would drop by 30%. After these days of fighting. Susumu Fujita felt that he was still optimistic

"Boom." A howitzer shell exploded near the forward command. The opponent on the opposite side was from Sichuan. When the situation is discovered. He knew it wasn't going to go well. The battles of Songhu and Nanjing are proof. The equipment of the army from Sichuan was stronger than that of the German armament division of the Nanjing government. None of the German armourers were equipped with such a large caliber howitzer.

As if to prove something. Shells exploded in the vicinity one after another. The point of impact is getting closer. "Command is exposed." A thought popped into Fujita's mind.

"Transfer!" Fujita screamed. However, the command is directed. Braving artillery fire. Run back down the trench. Two minutes later. The shells accurately hit the command headquarters.

"The artillery surveyors of the Chinese army actually found the forward command." Fujita Shinfushi gasped in the middle of the battle. But my mind was spinning fast. Feeling a little discouraged.

The Japanese offensive was in decline. The squadron also does not attack. Deng Xi's order to Chen Dingxun was to attack unless it was absolutely advantageous. Otherwise, there is no need to attack. Chen Dingxun felt good at first. Now he's a little dissatisfied. Although the strength of the Japanese army weakened. But the defense is not bad. He launched two tentative attacks. No gaps in the Japanese defense were found. Unless more effort is put in. Only then will it be possible to find out the weak points of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army was contained in a long and roundabout way. The main focus of the battlefield on the southern front was on the center and the right flank. The 6th Division concentrated its forces on attacking Mingguang. Yu Xuezhong commanded the 51st Army to resist. Two days after the fierce battle. The 6th Division entered the city from the southwest. Yu Xuezhong led his troops to retreat to Linhuai Pass. Cross the Huai River from Linhuai Pass. Rest on the north bank of the Huai River.

What Yu Xuezhong didn't expect was. The Theater Commander's Department actually prepared 3,000 recruits and a batch of ammunition for him on the north bank of the Huai River. These soldiers were recruited in various parts of Anhui. He was only trained briefly. Even so, Yu Xuezhong was already exhausted.

Early July. The Sixth Division attacked and arrived at Linhuai Pass in Fengyang. The 11th Army began to engage the enemy.

With the fall of the bright light. The 46th Army of the Road began to retreat. Move closer to the sun. The 9th Division conquered the main shop. Approaching the phoenix.

The fire is approaching the Huai River. The squadron is in a formation. It is a taboo for soldiers. Li Pinxian weighed the pros and cons. It was decided to adopt the advice of the commander of the theater and withdraw across the Huai River. Ordered to abandon Linhuai Pass and Fengyang. The 11th Army and the 46th Army withdrew across the Huai River. Those who set up a formation on the north bank of the Huai River. The 23rd Army gave up. Retreat to the north bank of the Huai River.

July 5th. The whole army of China withdrew across the Huai River. In order to protect the flanks. The 106th Division attacked the furnace bridge Changfeng. Liao commanded the 21st Group Army to hold on. Fierce fighting broke out between the two sides near the furnace bridge.

The main forces of the Japanese army on the Eastern Front were transferred to the Western Front. The counterattack of the Taixing Japanese army was completely powerless. Han Deqin commanded the 89th and 57th armies to sweep through the battlefield in northern Jiangsu. The siege of Taixing began in early July. The Taixing Japanese army in Nanjing was in an emergency.

July 6th. Haneda ordered a forced crossing of the Huai River. The 6th Division was at Linhuai Pass. The 9th Division is in Beng. The 3rd Division attacked Huaiyuan to the west.

China and Japan are engaged in a major war around the Huai River. Japanese troops were under the cover of air force and heavy artillery. Braving the artillery fire of the squadron, he forcibly crossed the Huai River. In the afternoon of the same day. Six hundred men of the Sixth Division crossed the Huai River. Build a beachhead. Night. The 28th Division of the 46th Army launched a counteroffensive. Excited for three hours. Breaking into the Japanese beachhead. Annihilation of the Japanese army.

The division's crossing operation was even more strongly blocked by the 23rd Group. Ryosuke Yoshizumi also felt Fujita's distress. The artillery fire of the Chinese defenders on the opposite bank was not weaker than him in the slightest. Three forced crossings failed.

But just when Li Pinxian felt that things were already under his control. Li Zongren telegraphed him to continue to retreat. Spare the Japanese army across the Huai River. Pin Xian was very puzzled. But then the main force telegraphed him. The 58th Army led by Lu Han will rush to Hefei within two days. Join the Southern Front. They will cooperate with the 21st Army. Launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese from the flanks. Strive to encircle and annihilate the 106th Division.
