4.93 Battle of Little Stone Bridge

The news of the attack on the headquarters of the 22nd Brigade soon exploded in the "Shanghai Dispatch Army", and the commander of the 11th Division, Lieutenant General Yamamuro Sotake, lay on the map and looked at it for a long time, and finally found that the Chinese army that had put the 22nd Brigade in a difficult situation could only go around from the hinterland of his 11th Division to the vicinity of Yuepu, so the head of the commander of the 11th Division began to sweat......

The 11th Division will be nailed to the pillar of shame again, and perhaps soon he Yamamuro Sotake will have to leave the throne of division commander, and the military headquarters can tolerate a heinous but victorious general, and will never accept a division commander who has been defeated repeatedly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Sotake Yamamuro seems to have seen his home in Japan, will he spend the rest of his life in that garden?

No one knows......

The chief of staff of the 11th Division, Katamura Shihachi Daisa, now doesn't know what to say to comfort his division commander, and now the situation of the chief of staff of Katamura is not much better than that of the head of the Yamamuro Somushi.

Both of them are defeated under Huang Haoran, and both of them are a disgrace to the Imperial Japanese Army!

The Songhu battlefield has become the "wheat city" of the commander of the 11th Division.

Huang Haoran and his 99th Army were the bitter masters of Yamamuro Sowu and Katamura Shihachi.

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

Shen Lao Er led his troops to rush back and forth in the camp of the brigade headquarters of Heiyan Yisheng, but he never found the commander of the Heiyan Yisheng Brigade, Huang Haoran was worried that Heiyan Yisheng had escaped, if Heiyan Yisheng passed the news out, then the Japanese army near Yuepu would soon surround the 531st regiment, and then it would be troublesome.

So Huang Haoran dragged Shen Lao Er to withdraw the army.

Huang Haoran's previous worries were correct, Shen Lao Er really planned to make a mess and wanted to continue the eldest brother's pleasure, Huang Haoran kicked Shen Yuanlong's ass, and the fanatical Brigade Commander Shen immediately sobered up.

If Fan Jie and Wang Shankui were replaced, Shen Lao Er would not have to turn his face with them at this time?

The command system of the 22nd Brigade has been smashed to pieces by Huang Haoran and Shen Laoer, the devil soldiers are still very dedicated, and the radio and code book of the Heiyan Yisheng Brigade Headquarters have been destroyed by themselves, but the military flag of the 22nd Brigade has not had time to burn and fell into the hands of Huang Haoran.

The Japanese regarded their flag as their life, and it was the first time that the Chinese army had captured such a high-level Japanese flag, which was almost no different from the head of Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu.

With such a big benefit, Shen Laoer's sanctions stopped grinding.

Huang Haoran ordered the troops to set fire everywhere, and the tents of the 22nd Brigade were quickly set on fire, and soon a huge explosion sounded, and the attack part of the 531st Regiment's "surprise attack" ended with this loud sound.

Now what Huang Haoran and Shen Lao Er need to do is to anoint the soles of their feet.

The 531st Regiment was fighting with the Japanese troops around Yuepu, and Huang Haoran asked Shen Laoer to order all units to change their direct rear teams to front teams and retreat at full speed.

The headquarters of the 22nd Brigade was attacked, the life and death of Major General Yoshikatsu Kuroiwa were unknown, and the trip to Shanghai of the 11th Division was really dark.

Even Matsui Ishine was afraid that he would be exposed to the bad luck of the 11th Division, so he found the 3rd Division and asked them to pursue the Chinese army that attacked Tsukipo.

It is necessary to block this Chinese army that attacked the headquarters of the 22nd Brigade and Regiment, Matsui Shigen had a strong intuition, he felt that it would not be someone else who attacked Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu, it was Huang Haoran and his 99th Army!

If you can take this opportunity to kill Huang Haoran, then this round of the "Shanghai Dispatch Army" will not be considered a loss!

So, be sure to leave Huang Haoran in Yuepu!

To live to see people, to die to see corpses!

These are Matsui Ishone's exact words!

The 3rd Division immediately began to carry out the orders of Commander Matsui Ishone.

The commander of the 3rd Cavalry Wing, Hoshizen Daro Nakasa, was selected by the division commander, Lieutenant General Fujita Shin, is there any better option for such a pursuit than cavalry?

The sound of two thousand war horses galloping in the dark night could be heard from a mile away, and the faces of Huang Haoran and Shen Lao Er changed color at the same time.

The Japanese army pursuing them was a formidable cavalry!

This is simply the worst expected outcome!

They caught up!

Even though the 531st Regiment had a large number of automatic weapons, it was obviously very unrealistic to face the high-speed impact of cavalry in the field.

If you can't beat it, run away!

However, even if the two legs of the infantry were broken, they could not match the speed of the Japanese cavalry, and in a few minutes, the 531st Regiment would be caught up by the Japanese cavalry.

What to do?!!

Huang Haoran decided to disperse and break through, it is night after all, perhaps, the infiltration of small troops is a good way to escape from death!

"Brigade Commander Shen, the goal we are now gathered together is too big, there are more than 2,000 people in the 531st Regiment, and it is easy to be discovered by the enemy, it is better for you and me to lead a team to break through separately, Chief of Staff Fan will hold the intersection for us, as long as we can meet with his troops, it will be considered prominent."

Huang Haoran's words made Shen Lao Er a little stunned, he has always been a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and now there are more than 2,000 men under his hands, what kind of soldiers are there at this time? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!

"Aren't you just some Japanese devils riding brutes? After I, Shen Yuanlong, take a camp, big brother, you go first, it's not easy to discern the direction of this black light, we are separated but the situation is single, and it is easy to be exploited by devils. ”

"No, infantry fighting cavalry, it's a field battle, there is no such way as you! It's too late for us to dig trenches, but fortunately, it's night, and the devil cavalry just wants to catch up with us, so they may not know our location, so it is more conducive to infiltration to disperse the troops, and we can pass between the joint parts of the Japanese army, we have a compass and a map, and it is not a problem to discern the direction. ”

"I don't care if it's good or not, anyway, I want to be with my eldest brother, otherwise if you have three long and two short, Wang Huanzhi won't give up with me, and your old man and old lady, crying will definitely annoy the birdman!"

"Stop talking nonsense! With you madman by my side, can I still be idle? I'm afraid that the little devil will come when he smells you! When the time comes, I will be even more troublesome, I decided, I will take the 3rd and 4th battalions to the east, and you take the 1st battalion and the 2nd battalion to the west, break through separately, the terrain here is good, leave a company, fight a block and then retreat, you can also block the little devil for a while. If we don't stop just thinking about racing with the little devils, I'm afraid we won't be able to run out, there are at least more than 10,000 devils around us, so the actions of the small troops should be fast, and the devils can't be given time to react, our military headquarters will meet, and I will allow you to drink when you go back! ”

Before Shen Lao Er could express his position, the vanguard of the 3rd Cavalry Wing of the Japanese Army caught up.

The melee immediately began, the saber to the bayonet, riding an Oriental horse told the sprinting devil to take a big advantage, fortunately at night, the sight of the Japanese cavalry was greatly affected, the officers and soldiers of the 531st Regiment formed a back-to-back circle formation of 4-5 people, plus the 99th Division was equipped with more automatic weapons, and the vanguard of the Japanese cavalry was repulsed.

The price paid by the 531 regiment in the melee was not small.

Since the Japanese dog bit the tail, the devil cavalry of the brigade will soon arrive.

Huang Haoran saw that the situation had changed, so he dispelled the idea of dividing the troops, the Japanese cavalry had discovered the 531 regiment, so they only had a strong breakthrough this way, at this time it was no longer meaningful to disperse the troops, but to abandon their martial arts.

Shen Yuanlong asked Zhang Hao's 3rd battalion to be responsible for the break, and the whole army of the 531st Regiment slowly retreated, and the Japanese cavalry saw that the 531st Regiment was very tightly defended, so they did not rashly launch an attack.

The commander of the 3rd Cavalry Wing, Hoshizen Daro Nakasa, watched from a distance as the 3rd Battalion of the 531st Regiment continued to alternate cover, changing formations and retreating, while leisurely playing with the beard on his chin.

It seems that this army is the elite of the Chinese people, and they can recover so quickly after being rushed by the forward of the 3rd Wing, and they are impermeable behind it, and this quality has surpassed that of the ordinary Japanese army.

The squadron leader of the cavalry squadron who had just fought with these Chinese reported to Hoshizen Daro Nakasa that the size of the Chinese troops would not be less than one regiment, and the combat effectiveness was very strong.

It seems that it is either the 18th Army or the 99th Army! Xingzen Daro Nakasa hopes that it is the latter!

The 99th Army is the trump card of the Chinese, and the elimination of one ace army is more likely to be rewarded than the elimination of ten miscellaneous troops

Moreover, this regiment has just attacked the brigade headquarters of the 22nd Brigade, so the combat exploits in hand will be particularly great.

If the 3rd Cavalry Wing can annihilate this regiment tonight, then the rank of Dazuo will start beckoning at Hoshizen Daro Nakasa.

If it were the 18th Army, Hoshizen Daro Nakasa might not be able to get such an attractive reward from the military department.

Therefore, Hoshizen Daro Nakasa was praying that the Chinese army he was facing belonged to the 99th Army.

Of course, Xingshan Dalang Zhongzuo would not know that the strong force he was facing not only belonged to the 99th Army, but also that Huang Haoran, the commander of the 99th Army who made the "Shanghai Dispatch Army" hate and gritted his teeth, was also in the team.

If Hoshizen Daro Nakasa knew, he wouldn't have the patience he has now.

"How far is Hachiro Tana's 34th Wing from where they are going? Send them a message and ask! ”

A telephone operator called "Hai" and began to send out the report on the horse.

Soon, Hachiro Tana's 34th Wing called back.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander Tagami Hachiro's 34th Wing is still about five minutes away from the small stone bridge, and Wing Captain Hachiro Tanakami asked us to bite the troops of the Shina Army, and then attack at the same time after they take the small stone bridge and block the back road of the Chinese!"

"Excellent! Tell Tagami Hachiro Daisa that as long as he takes the small stone bridge, these Chinese will not escape! ”

Xingshan Dalang Nakazo urged the war horse under his crotch and staggered to start the "pursuit".

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

Huang Haoran gradually sensed the abnormality of the Japanese cavalry, although the Japanese approached the marching column of the 531st Regiment at high speed from time to time and fired a few cold shots, but it seemed that they did not mean to pounce immediately, but just played a game of harassment happily.

Since the Japanese were not in a hurry to catch up, Huang Haoran simply stopped, and he used a flashlight to study what these Japanese cavalry were going to do.

Xiaoshiqiao, these three words jumped into Huang Haoran's eyes at once, this is the position he wants Fan Jie to take over himself, as long as the 531st regiment can cross the small stone bridge, and then blow up the bridge, then the Japanese cavalry will have to detour for dozens of miles to find a way to cross the river.

In a water network area like Songhu, as long as a small bridge can be controlled well, it can also block 100,000 Japanese troops.

Xiaoshiqiao has now become the "Dangyang Bridge" of the 531st Regiment, Fan Jie, are you my Zhao Zilong of Huang Haoran?

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

Fan Jie looked anxiously at the watch on his wrist at the head of the Xiaoshiqiao bridge, the gunfire on the Yuepu side had already stopped, and the military seat should be on the way to retreat, but Fan Jie took the engineer regiment and the guard battalion to wait on the left and right of the Xiaoshiqiao, but he didn't see the 531st regiment and Huang Haoran's shadow.

However, Sasaki had bad news, the Japanese sent a cavalry wing to pursue the 531st Regiment, and the two sides had been fighting for a while not far from Tsukiura, and the losses of both sides were unknown.

Cavalry vs. infantry, and fighting in the wilderness, Fan Jie immediately realized that the situation of the 531st regiment was not good, if he had an infantry regiment in his hand, he would have sent someone to pick up the military seat, but there was only one engineer regiment in his hand at the moment, once these sappers left the trenches, it was almost the same as going to die, and even now these sappers were to hold the small stone bridge with the trenches, Chief of Staff Fan was not very sure.

Fortunately, there is still a guard battalion left behind by the military seat, and it depends on these special forces in the 99th Army to defend the small stone bridge.

Fan Jie waited for another ten minutes, but Huang Haoran and Shen Lao Er still didn't wait, and Sasaki's second telegram came again.

The telegrams of Hoshizen Daro Nakasa and Tanakami Hachiro Osa were intercepted and deciphered by Sasaki, and Fan Jie was very reluctant to learn that a wing of Japanese troops was coming towards the small stone bridge, and a fierce battle was inevitable!

Fan Jie immediately ordered the troops to enter the position, fortunately, the best thing for the engineer regiment was earthwork, and in just a few hours, the deep trenches had been connected into a transportation network, and it was these fortifications that Chief of Staff Fan now relied on.

The 34th Wing of Hachiro Tanakami Osa's ran into Fan Jie's small stone bridge defense line, although the firepower of the engineer regiment was not as good as the regular infantry regiment, but it was not worse than the general Central Army, Huang Haoran was equipped with a large number of Mauser pistols for their use, which were used by the sappers as a micro charge, and the 20 pistols were picked up and fired continuously, and the dense bullet rain caused great casualties among the Japanese troops.

The 34th Wing did not expect that Xiaoshiqiao would be guarded by Chinese troops, and after suffering a loss, Hachiro Tanakami withdrew the disabled vanguard troops, and a new brigade was re-transferred to start attacking Xiaoshiqiao step by step.

As soon as the Japanese army began to treat it carefully, the lack of combat quality of the officers and men of the engineer regiment began to show, and they were crushed in the trenches by the accurate marksmanship of the Japanese army, and the intensity of defensive fire began to decrease.

Seeing that the Chinese defenders of Koishiqiao were not strong in combat, Hachiro Tanakami immediately stepped up his attacks, and the skirmish line of the 34th Wing was getting closer and closer to the trenches of the engineer regiment......

Fan Jie saw through the binoculars that the sappers were already exhausted, and the Japanese even formed a dense skirmish line to charge towards the small stone bridge, and he immediately activated the last trump card----- Huang Haoran's guard battalion.

The officers and men of the guard battalion were scattered among the officers and men of the engineer regiment early on, and there was one at a distance of a few meters, and they did not open fire in the confrontation just now, but rested quietly on the trench.

"Rustle..". The footsteps of the Japanese army were getting closer and closer, the defensive fire of the engineer regiment had lost its effective organization, a large gap appeared in front of the position, and a smile of victory appeared on the face of Hachiro Tanagami.

It's almost a kick in the door!

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

After reading the battle report sent by the 11th Division about the attack on the headquarters of the 22nd Brigade, Commander Matsui Ishone on the warship sent a telegram to the Japanese mainland.

In a telegram, Matsui reported to the Minister of War and the Chief of Staff: "The enemy in front of our army is the newly transferred fresh force along the Pinghan and Jinpu lines, plus the elite units of the Central Direct Army, totaling more than 15 divisions. It is worth noting that the 99th and 18th armies, the most elite of the Chinese army, were used in this regard...... Our army needs at least 5 divisions in Shanghai, and the most important thing at present is to urgently dispatch the 14th Division and the Tiangu Detachment on standby to arrive as quickly as possible. ”

Vice Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa also later requested the Military Command Department to "send more troops to Shanghai as soon as possible."

After receiving simultaneous requests for help from the supreme commanders of the army and navy in the Songhu battlefield, the bigwigs in Tokyo fell into chaos again.

Now that the ball has been kicked out, the rest is the business of the politicians in Tokyo, and Matsui Ishone set his sights on Koishibashi.

In fact, a unit-level engagement does not need to be asked by Matsui Ishine, the "commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army", but today, the battle that took place at Koishibashi Bridge is very representative, and Matsui Ishine is very fascinated.

The 34th Wing was hit hard when it entered the last fifty meters of the small stone bridge defense line!

The soldiers of the guard battalion suddenly came out of the trenches, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front were shot in the head, and fell on their backs, and then fell into the Japanese army's assault queue with hail-like grenades, and the officers and men of the guard battalion simply used the grenades as mortars, throwing them far and accurately, and a series of explosions were followed by a rain of bullets.

There are also mortars, almost every shell can take the lives of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, the crooked handle and the Type 92 heavy machine gun that cover the charge were blown up into the sky at the first time, and the Japanese soldiers holding grenadiers fell one after another inexplicably, almost all of them were killed by one shot.

Huang Haoran's guard battalion erupted with terrifying combat effectiveness!

Hachiro Tanakami lost an entire squadron almost instantly, and he can't laugh now!

What kind of army is this?

It's a bunch of monsters!

After swallowing hundreds of Japanese soldiers in one gulp, the Xiaoshiqiao defense line quickly fell into silence again, and the battlefield was quiet as if the battle just now had not happened.

However, the stumps and broken arms all over the ground showed that everything just now was real, the corpses of the dead Japanese soldiers were lying everywhere on the ground, and the 34th Wing didn't even have time to drag the wounded soldiers down just now!

Hachiro Tanakami realizes that he has a problem! (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.) )
