7.134 Encirclement and annihilation of the Isogu Division

These E-16 fighters that suddenly came out were the "reinforcements" that Huang Haoran asked for from Qian Dajun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After grasping the airdrop operation plan of the North China Front, Huang Haoran immediately made corresponding arrangements and arrangements, the 99th Army and the 100th Army were responsible for implementing the deception tactics to deceive the Japanese army of airdrop materials, which was only the first step in Huang Haoran's plan, and the Chinese Air Force sent a fighter group to raid the returning Japanese aircraft group was the second step.

However, due to Shen Yuanlong's "outstanding performance", the Japanese bomber group actually laid down their guard over the position of the 99th Army, and also fell to a height that was extremely vulnerable to attack. Where was the fighter group of the Chinese Air Force, which had been hiding in the clouds and waiting for a long time, willing to let go of such fighters, so they launched an operation in advance!

The E-16 fighter swooped down from high altitude at high speed, and stubbornly suppressed the Japanese in the 96 land battle, taking advantage of it! The end of this aerial fight was predestined from the beginning! The Japanese pilots completely lost the possibility of winning!

In addition, the 25th Army's ground artillery fire suddenly opened fire, which helped the fighters of the Chinese Air Force to entangle those Japanese bombers who stayed at low altitudes, which was equivalent to sharing nearly half of the combat missions of the Chinese Air Force fighters, and the Chinese Air Force also made up for its inferiority in the number of aircraft.

Qian Dajun, the director of the Aviation Committee, once again provided great help to Huang Haoran. He sent the elite of the Chinese Air Force, the 3rd Brigade and the 4th Brigade to full force! In addition to the 20 E-16s that fought against Kato's brigade in the sky above the 99th Army, in the night sky in the distance, there were more than 20 E-16s attacking the Japanese Army Airlines' transport plane group, and those transport planes were loaded with hundreds of middle- and low-ranking officers that the North China Front planned to airdrop to the 10th Division.

The materials and manpower sent to the 10th Division by General Terauchi Shouichi, the commander of the Japanese army in North China, Huang Haoran planned to rob and kill them all, and he didn't give Ryosuke Isoya at all!

In the face of the light and agile E-16, the 96 Marine War was completely at a disadvantage, and the advanced fighter provided by the Soviets to China made up for the lack of experience and technology of the Chinese Air Force to a certain extent. Between now and the advent of the famous Zero fighter in the Pacific theater, these Soviet-made E-16s will be the overlords of the Chinese sky!

"Deputy seat, I always feel that Qian Dajun's enthusiasm for our 25th Army is a little too much! The entire two fighter groups are still the elite of the elite, and such a big deal is not worthy of ordinary friendship! ”

Fan Jie looked at the latest battle report sent back from the front, and couldn't help but remind Huang Haoran that he felt that the reason why Qian Dajun spared no effort to aid the 25th Group Army must have his plan!

"Yes! Chief Li had also asked for assistance from the Air Force in Xuzhou before, and Qian Dajun was impatient every time he was urged, so he sent a few planes to the 5th Theater of Operations to perfunctory, where was there such a spectacular scene? I think that the director of the Aviation Committee is asking for something from you, big brother! ”

Wang Huanzhi's feeling is very similar to Fan Jie, and he also feels that there is an article behind Qian Dajun's enthusiasm!

"Whatever! Let's clean up Ryosuke Isoya first! Now, as long as it can come in handy, I will accept it all! Even if you want to repay the favor in the future, it will be in the future! “

Huang Haoran's words are very much "drunk today" in it, such a short-sighted approach is not like Huang Haoran's consistent style!

"Big brother...!" "Passenger seat...!"

Wang Huanzhi and Fan Jie each spoke, their worries overflowing.

"Old Fan! Third brother! You're thinking too much... If I had to choose between losing a battle and owing a favor, I'd rather be indebted! It's a big deal if you don't pay it back in the future! ”

Wang Huanzhi and Fan Jie quickly exchanged glances, and they saw the same answer in each other's eyes......

It was the first time that the anti-aircraft artillery unit under Shi Jincai's command had encountered such an enjoyable battle, and the Type 93 heavy bombers that had descended to a height of several hundred meters were simply the target of the attack!

In order to ensure that the airdropped materials could be concentrated on the territory of the "friendly forces", the Japanese bomber pilots basically reduced the speed to a minimum. The low-altitude and low-speed flying Type 93 heavy bomber is so eye-catching in the night sky! The huge body almost burst the sights of the anti-aircraft guns, and if they couldn't even hit such a target, the anti-aircraft artillery units of the Shi artillery would simply be disbanded on the spot!

The first salvo of ground artillery fire shot down four Type 93 heavy bombers, and in the air when the Japanese pilots were still in shock and did not react, the anti-aircraft guns began a second salvo! All the machine guns of the 99th Army that could reach the Japanese planes also opened fire, the anti-aircraft shells continued to explode in the air, the trajectory of the bullets fired by the machine guns crossed countless strips of light in the air, and the fragile engines of the Type 93 heavy bombers became the key targets of the 99 officers and men!

In the second round, 6 were shot down, and in the blink of an eye, most of the bombers of the 9th Group of the Japanese Army Aviation were lost!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the surviving Japanese planes turned around and ran, and the fighters of the Chinese Air Force chased after them!

This airdrop operation of the North China Front can be regarded as a big loss! In less than an hour, the Provisional Aviation Regiment of the North China Front lost a total of 17 transport planes, 12 Type 93 heavy bombers, 11 96 land battles, and 2 reconnaissance planes! And the Chinese Air Force lost only 6 E-16s.

The Japanese pilots who had parachuted out of the air descended slowly, most of them drifting to the positions of the Chinese troops. The officers and men of the 25th Group on the ground set off another campaign to capture prisoners.

After witnessing the fiasco of Lu Airlines, Ryosuke Isoya fell into a complete madness! He used his command knife to smash several marching stools in a row!

Heavy artillery, combat vehicles, and aircraft, these modern weapons that the Japanese army is most proud of, were actually restrained by the Chinese army in this battle of Taierzhuang! Huang Haoran is like having cast a spell on the Chinese army!

The officers and men of the Isoya Division, who were surrounded by the Chinese army, were even more stimulated after witnessing this farce performed by Lu Hang!

It's still a trivial matter that the supplies haven't been obtained, the key is that after Lu Hang suffered such a big loss tonight, will they still have the courage to appear in the sky over Zaozhuang tomorrow?

The news of the failure of the airdrop and the shortage of food spread like a plague among the Japanese officers and soldiers of the 10th Division! The morale of the Isoya Division has reached the valley!

And the morale of the Chinese army reached its peak with the defeat of the Japanese army aviation! They have already defeated Japanese artillery, Japanese tank units, and now Japanese planes in Taierzhuang! These hot-blooded soldiers under Huang Haoran now feel that they can defeat any kind of opponent!

Trade-off! On the contrary, the morale of the Chinese army has been greatly boosted!

Of course, Huang Haoran can't let go of such a good opportunity! While the fierce battle in the night sky was still going on, the 25th Army and the Isoya Division on the ground were not idle, and he immediately launched the third step of the operation!

Last night, Huang Haoran had already received accurate news from the Wuhan Military Commission that Huang Jie's 8th Army, Liu Ruming's 68th Army, and Li Hansoul's 64th Army would arrive on the morning of April 13, and the time was ripe to encircle and annihilate the Isogu Division!

Before the general offensive was launched, Huang Haoran specially informed the commanders of the army and division below that the reinforcements were about to arrive, and promised a high reward! As the artillery fire suppression began to be implemented, the Chinese army, which was provoked by Huang Haoran with various means, poured out! The night is roaring, the mountains and rivers are shaking! The Chinese army's lifeless style of fighting finally forced the Isoya Division into a desperate situation!

Shortly after the start of the general offensive, Major General Seya Kei's 33rd Brigade was forcibly cut off by Cao Fulin's 55th Army and Wu Jianping's 121st Division! The 99th, 139th, and 189th Divisions in the north were replenished by a large number of airdropped supplies from the Japanese army, and it took less than two hours to completely defeat the 39th Infantry Wing blocking their front! The 25th Army's troops pointed directly at the headquarters of the 10th Division located in Zaozhuang City!

In a telegram he sent to Toshiichi Terauchi, commander of Japan's North China Front, the embattled Ryosuke Isoya, he wrote:

"Zaozhuang is in danger! The battle situation is critical! The 10th Division is in the last desperate situation! I will lead the surviving officers and soldiers to fight to the death against the Chinese army! Until all the jade is broken! ”

After reading Ryosuke Isoya's telegram, the eyelids of General Toshiichi Terauchi, the commander of the North China Front, jumped wildly!

Ryosuke Isoya actually mentioned the jade crush in the telegram! This means that the end of the 10th Division is coming! The "China Pass" of the North China Front has lost its desire for victory!

There is no doubt that the Isoya Division needs reinforcements! But where can General Shouichi Terauchi draw reinforcements from? The battle to attack Taierzhuang should never have happened in the first place! The Japanese front in North China has long been stretched too long! The Japanese army in North China has long been out of reserves and mobile forces!

This is the reason why the Tokyo base camp decided to temporarily suspend large-scale offensives after occupying Nanjing and Taiyuan and formulated the policy of "not expanding the war situation" in order to gain time to establish a general war system and expand its military strength!

At the beginning of 1938, Japan had not yet completed the planned expansion plan, and the base camp was simply unable to send more troops from Japan to the Chinese battlefield! If he wanted to rescue Ryosuke Isoya, General Terauchi Shouichi could only mobilize troops from the Japanese army in North China, which was already underarmed. However, in this way, the forces of the Japanese army in North China left behind in the rear will be even more overstretched, and even the key points on the main railway lines of Tongpu, Pinghan, Beijing-Shanghai, Jiaoji, Zhengtai, and Jinpu will not be enough.

If the 16th Division and the 14th Division stationed in the Gaoyi and Anyang areas of Pinghan Road and the 14th Division in the Xinxiang and Jiaozuo areas were transferred from the 1st Army to rescue Isoya Liansuke, it would cause the garrisons of southern Hebei and southern Jinnan to be empty! The Japanese would be forced to abandon the Changzhi area, and there was a risk that the 20th Division, which had already occupied the north bank of the Yellow River in southern Jinnan, would be attacked day and night by the Chinese 2nd Theater troops. These Chinese troops had retreated to the south of the Yellow River under the attack of the North China Front, but with the Battle of Taierzhuang begins, these Chinese troops seem to have the intention of crossing the river and returning to Jinnan.

Therefore, the transfer of army divisions from the North China Front Army to Taierzhuang is actually to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, which is definitely a very dangerous thing!

Only a month ago, the strategy of encircling Taierzhuang and then attacking Xuzhou was still a clever move in the eyes of General Shouichi Terauchi, but now it looks like it is full of mistakes and omissions!

The Japanese army in North China was not ready to attack Xuzhou at all, nor did it have enough troops to take Xuzhou! But the Japanese army in North China implemented a crazy plan like a gambler! They pressed the treasure on the second "Han Fuqu"!

Huang Haoran is obviously not Han Fuqu! Even Sun Tongxuan and Cao Fulin, two of Han Fuqu's old subordinates, have become different now! Under the command of Huang Haoran, a fierce tiger, the sheep-like Chinese army has become a hungry wolf!

In the end, Shouichi Terauchi, who had nothing to do, pushed the problem to Tokyo, and after learning the news that the Isoya division was in a desperate situation, the embarrassed and angry Emperor Hirohito immediately called an emergency meeting and said: Japan must not suffer such humiliation!

The Japanese army in North China was forced to transfer army divisions from various battlefields to the south, and Itagaki Seishiro outside Linyi received an urgent telegram from the military headquarters, demanding that his 5th Division must break through the Chinese army's defense line within 48 hours and rescue the Isoya Division!

The Central China Dispatch Army on the southern line of the Jinpu Road also received an order from Tokyo, and two army divisions began to attack the Chinese army on the north bank of the Huai River, and had cooperated with the actions of the North China Front Army on the line!

After Huang Haoran learned of the latest adjustment of the Japanese army, he immediately sent a telegram to the highest telegraph authority, requesting the adjacent theaters to send powerful troops to infiltrate the areas where the Japanese army divisions had withdrawn and launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army, so as to delay the pace of the Japanese army in reinforcing Zaozhuang. The highest authorities also saw that the Battle of Taierzhuang had reached the most critical moment and that success or failure was at stake, so they personally sent telegrams to Yan Xishan and Cheng Qian, the two theater commanders, asking them to actively block the Japanese army in the north and south directions.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of April 13, Huang Haoran threw all the units of Huang Jie's 8th Army, Liu Ruming's 68th Army, and Li Hansoul's 64th Army, which had newly joined the Taierzhuang Theater, into the attack on the Isogu Division. At the same time, Towngaki's 20th Army Corps was ordered to slow down the pace of the attack and take a siege but not attack on the Sakamoto detachment of the Itagaki Division.

Huang Haoran did this in order to concentrate his forces to attack Isoya Ryosuke first, and at the same time let the Sakamoto detachment feel that they still had hope of holding out until the main force of the Itagaki Division arrived, so that the dog would not jump off the wall in a hurry!

At 17 o'clock in the afternoon of April 14, the remnants of the Isogu Division were all driven to the Zaozhuang and Guoliji areas by the Chinese troops in the 5th theater, and with the help of Liu Ruming's 68th Army and Li Hansoul's 64th Army, Cao Fulin's 55th Army and Wu Jianping's 121st Division finally ate Seya Qi's 33rd Brigade after paying a great price in casualties!

Huang Haoran finally cut off one of Ryosuke Isoya's arms!

According to Huang Haoran's vision, the Battle of Taierzhuang will end completely in the next two or three days!

Holding the latest battle report sent by Huang Haoran, the highest authorities in the Luojia Mountain Mansion showed a long-lost smile!

Now that the results of the total annihilation of the Rock Valley Division have almost been put in their pockets, the highest authorities are beginning to fantasize about more victories!

A few months ago, the highest authorities sent Kong Xiangxi to Berlin in the hope of getting more aid, but it turned out to be a bad one! Hitler not only did not receive Kong Xiangxi, but also ordered the suspension of the agreement on the supply of military supplies to China. This makes the highest authorities not angry!

Now that I think about it, the reason why the Germans did this was not because they saw the weakness of China in the performance of the Chinese army in the War of Resistance, so the Germans turned to Japan!

At the end of March, the highest authorities summoned Jiang Baili, a senior adviser to the Military Commission, at the headquarters of the Military Commission in Hankow to analyze and discuss the diplomatic dilemma that China is currently facing and how to open it, and to plan a diplomatic strategy toward Europe.

After the talks, the supreme authorities decided to send Chiang Baili as an envoy to Europe to wage a diplomatic war with Japan and to win international sympathy and assistance. The supreme authorities instructed Chiang Baili to do everything possible to sabotage the cooperation of the three fascist countries of Germany, Italy, and Japan, and at least to persuade Hitler and Mussolini not to be so enthusiastic about Japan, not to support Japan in fighting China, and at the same time, not to prevent or hinder the Chinese government's independent war of resistance.

At that time, Jiang Baili only made one request, that is, he hoped that before he sent to Germany, the Chinese army would be able to win a big battle, so that he could have more chips in front of the Germans.

The dignity and status of the country still have to be fought out by the barrel of a gun!

The highest authorities agreed to Jiang Baili's request on the spot, and now, he wants to ask Jiang Baili's little brother Huang Haoran for the result!

Next, Huang Haoran should completely annihilate the Sakamoto detachment, right? No! It is better to completely annihilate the entire Itagaki Division! The supreme authorities are now desperate to announce his existence to the whole world with a string of great victories! He's going crazy with what he's longing for!

On the evening of April 14, the Chinese Air Force again dispatched and carried out indiscriminate bombardment of the positions of the Isogu Division, this time it was not Huang Haoran who played a role in the middle, but the highest authorities personally gave an order to Qian Dajun! Looking at those huge Soviet-made bombers in the sky, Huang Haoran knew that the supreme authorities were about to lose their seats! He wants Huang Haoran to finalize the victory now!

On the night of April 14, the 25th Group Army, the 3rd Group Army, and several newly reinforced Central Army launched a ferocious night attack on the Isogu Division.

Ryosuke Isoya in the encirclement knew that he couldn't stop Huang Haoran's offensive no matter what, so he made a desperate bet and put his main combat strength on the front line of Guo Liji, storming the defense line of the 188th Division, hoping to be able to merge with the Sakamoto detachment, Major General Shun Sakamoto, who was strictly ordered by Seishiro Itagaki to react strongly to the actions of the Isoya Division, but before his Sakamoto detachment could start attacking the 188th Division, it was fiercely attacked by the Tangenbo corps on their periphery, The Sakamoto detachment, which was under great pressure, had to abandon the plan to attack the 188th Division and turn to the defense in order to protect itself.

By dawn on April 15, Ryosuke Isoya's 5th Division had not been able to break through the 188th Division's defensive line, and less than 4,000 remnants of the entire Isoya Division remained.
