7.33 The 116th Wing with Determination
Teng Chuan Juncao led a few Japanese soldiers to follow behind the Chiba soldiers, and walked towards the "tricky thunder" laid by Zhao Shuigen. Pen Qu Ge www.biquge.info Because this trench is dug deep, and the height of the Japanese is generally much shorter than that of the Chinese soldiers, Teng Chuan Juncao and his subordinates did not have a cat waist when walking, they only need to pay attention to the stray bullets on the battlefield.
The process of collecting "loot" is always very pleasant. From time to time, the Japanese soldiers armed with Type 38 rifles used the bayonets at the front of the rifles to pick open the clothes on the corpses of Chinese soldiers, looking for something valuable. As soon as they find something, they crouch down and take it from the corpse and put it in their pockets. When they returned to the rear, the loot would be traded on the black market into yen or hard currency such as gold and silver, which would be sent back home by the Japanese soldiers or spent on the prostitutes who accompanied the army.
Since most of the Chinese soldiers are farmers or poor families, the Japanese army has never gained much from cleaning the battlefield.
What happened in the Songhu and Nanjing battlefields has proved many times that the officers and soldiers of the Chinese government's direct troops tend to be relatively wealthy! Especially the briefcases carried by those officers, insisting on being small coffers! I heard that there was a lucky bastard in the 3rd Division who actually found dozens of gold bars from a black briefcase while cleaning up the battlefield! Later, the guy bribed his commander and military doctor with half of the gold bar, took a disabled soldier's certificate, returned to Japan, and lived a prosperous life! Spurred on by such exciting examples! The Japanese soldiers at the front were unusually interested in the corpses of Chinese officers on the battlefield! For them, every briefcase is an unknown treasure......
Teng Chuan Juncao is not one of these dreaming soldiers, in his opinion, the so-called "lucky one" is most likely a scene directed by the military department or the Ministry of War in order to ease the emotions of the Japanese soldiers invading China! All this has to start with the poor logistics supply of the Japanese army......
Compared with the combat capabilities of the Japanese army, the logistics supply of the Japanese army is simply a tragedy! Due to the particularity of the Navy, their treatment is even better, and the treatment of the Imperial Army is simply terrible! Some divisions and regiments of the Central China Front have been fighting the Chinese battlefield for half a year! And the salaries their soldiers have received in their hands in the past few months are a bunch of military tickets that are almost equivalent to waste paper!
Military stamps, a substitute currency issued by the Japanese government for the purpose of waging foreign wars and forcibly circulated by the Japanese army in the occupied areas for the purpose of requisitioning and distributing military supplies, plundered China's economy at the same time, it also greatly dealt a blow to the morale of the Japanese army!
The history of military stamps can be traced back to the Meiji 10th year (i.e., 1877) during the Southwest War. The military ticket for the foreign war was the 27th year of the Meiji era (i.e., 1894), that is, the Sino-Japanese War. The currency adopted by the Qing government at that time was the silver standard. As a result, the Japanese troops who participated in the war carried cash, and due to the inconvenience of carrying them, Japan made a plan to issue "military rolls" (that is, later military tickets). However, the real use of "military rolls" was during the Russo-Japanese War, issued by the Zhengjin Bank in Yokohama, Japan, and the Japanese troops who participated in the war purchased them in the battlefields of China.
In 1914, when the First World War broke out in Europe, Japan sided with the Allies and attacked Tsingtao, a German leased territory in China. These military tickets were doomed from the moment they were issued to be difficult to circulate! Until 1938, when the Central China Front attacked Xuzhou, there were still Chinese peasants who took this kind of "military roll" and asked the Japanese army for exchange! One can imagine how low the circulation value of these military tickets issued by the Japanese army has been!
In the early days of the war of aggression against China, the Japanese army paid its soldiers military stamps for use in Korea. This was mainly due to the fact that at that time, military tickets for the Chinese region had not yet been printed. Due to the problem of the name, the circulation of this military ticket, which was named "North Korean Bank Roll", on the battlefield in China was extremely unsmooth from the very beginning!
Later, in order to provide for the predatory procurement of the Japanese army invading China on the battlefield, the Japanese military made a high-sounding declaration to the outside world, claiming that Japan was worried that a large amount of yen would flow into Shanghai, an international city, after the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, and then have an adverse impact on the yen market, so it decided to use military tickets in the Chinese theater! Therefore, when the commander of the 10th Army, Vice Admiral Yanagawa Heisuke, led his troops to land in Hangzhou Bay, the warships transporting the 10th Army carried a large number of "military hand tickets" specially designed for use in the occupied area.
This batch of Showa 12th edition (1937) was made by Japan's "Cabinet Printing Bureau" of "military hand tickets", which Japan called "No. A tickets". Due to the poor printing of the "No. A ticket", the paper and pattern are very rough, plus there is no numbering, there is no style of currency and no psychological effect as currency at all. As a result, when the Japanese army first used this batch of military tickets, the local Chinese residents either used it to buy things immediately after getting the military tickets, or exchanged them for the currency of their own country, and the amount that could enter circulation was extremely rare! Later, the Chinese began to refuse to accept this kind of waste paper printed by the Japanese, and the Central China Front could only use bayonets and bullets to collect supplies locally.
Since the "No. A note" is a banknote that cannot be cashed without any reserves, a warning statement is printed on the back of the banknote: "This note will be exchanged for the Japanese currency opened on the front as soon as it arrives, and if there is any forgery, alteration, imitation or knowingly exercised it, it shall be severely fined!"
In other words, even Japanese officers and soldiers could not exchange their military tickets for yen or other currencies! The "shrewd" military department has long completely blocked the possibility of returning military tickets to Japan! In this way, the "No. A ticket" that is difficult to circulate is completely reduced to useless waste paper!
When the Japanese soldiers found out that they couldn't buy what they needed locally with these colorful "high-grade waste paper", and they couldn't exchange them for yen to send to their relatives back home! These Imperial Army elites are finally outraged! The military department's use of "ticket A" to pay soldiers' salaries aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Japanese combat units!
Under the fierce protests of the army divisions and regiments, the Central China Front Command could only decide to pay the troops in kind starting in December 1937.
Faced with a huge number of military tickets, the price of materials in the Japanese army began to skyrocket! The Japanese officers and soldiers were able to exchange less and less things! In February 1938, ordinary Japanese soldiers could only exchange their military tickets for two packs of cigarettes plus two packs of matches or a canned beef!!
Let the soldiers fighting on the front line receive such things as matches, cigarettes, and canned food as their military salaries, I am afraid that only the Japanese military department in the world can do such a thing, right?
In fact, the Japanese soldiers who had no income at all could only squeeze wealth from the Chinese in the Japanese theater in their own way! In Shanghai and Suzhou, Japanese soldiers could shoot and kill people for a pack of cigarettes! Theft and robbery are even more prohibited!
Even a relatively pure Japanese soldier like Teng Chuan Juncao has done a lot of dirty things! Now as long as the word "loot" is mentioned, Teng Chuan Juncao will be inexplicably excited!
"Found it! Teng Chuan Juncao! It's the purse! ”
Chiba Bing suddenly shouted excitedly! He pointed to the trench not far away, Teng Chuan Juncao looked in the direction, and sure enough, he saw an open leather bag and an exposed cigarette! Next to the purse, something else is shining!
Silver!? Or a bayonet buried in the earth? Teng Chuan Juncao, of course, hopes that it is the former!
Before Teng Chuan Juncao could speak, several Japanese soldiers behind him rushed over with a smile, of course they didn't dare to snatch something from Teng Chuan Juncao's mouth, but helping Teng Chuan Juncao collect these trophies should get some benefits, right?
Even if you get a cigarette, it's a great thing to relieve tension! You know, they've just finished a fierce battle.
When Chiba Bing bent down to pick up the leather bag, he found the watch that Zhao Shuigen had thrown on the ground! This shiny thing was flashing with a seductive light at the Chiba soldier at the moment, and the Chiba soldier even secretly glanced back at Teng Chuan Juncao, if Juncao didn't notice this watch, it would be a windfall!
It's a pity that Teng Chuan Juncao's eyes are full of urgency and urgency at the moment, obviously, this exquisite trophy has not been ignored by Teng Chuan Juncao! Chiba Bing could only smile bitterly and picked up the watch on the ground, and next to him, two Japanese soldiers pulled one side of the leather bag, and then began to reach out and dig out the contents inside!
Cigarette! Pen! And a roll of Chinese banknotes! It's all good stuff! The Japanese soldier smiled and took the things in his hands and showed them to Teng Chuan Jun Cao one by one, and the satisfied Teng Chuan Jun Cao nodded, indicating that he was very satisfied with the harvest this time!
Hey! What is the white smoke coming out of the feet of the Chiba soldiers? There is also a place next to it! That's where the bag used to be!
Not good! It's a trap!!
Teng Chuanjuncao's nerves tensed suddenly, and he shouted: "Run!" There was ....."
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The continuous explosions interrupted Teng Chuan's voice, and his subordinates and soldiers from Chiba fell in the light of fire and smoke! It's the first time that those "cute" loot have become so dangerous!
Clever design! The terrible 99th Army! Huang Haoran's troops! Sure enough, it's different from the ordinary Chinese army!
***************************************************
"Degong! Huang Haoran has just reported a battle plan, he said that his 25th Army will launch a medium-scale annihilation battle against the Japanese army on the southern line of Jinpu Road! Support from the war zone is needed! This Huang Haoran! It's really restless! ”
Xu Zuyi took the telegram that Major General Li Yang, director of the confidential room, had just given him, and shouted loudly as soon as he walked into Chief Li's office. Because Xuzhou was facing the Japanese army's attack from the north and south, Chief Li and Xu Zuyi always hoped to stabilize the Japanese Central China Front on the southern front first. Originally, under the resistance of the 25th Army and the 21st Army Corps, the commander of the Japanese Central China Front, Shunroku Hata had already planned to stop the march, but now Huang Haoran suddenly wanted to stab him like this! What if the Central China Front is annoyed and angry?
Before Xu Zuyi came in, Chief Li was looking at the battle map on the wall with his hands behind his back.
On the 25th, the Japanese army in North China broke through the Xinghuacun position, and the defenders were forced to withdraw to the line of Xiangliji, Yangshanji, and Juye. However, the 5th Theater deployed a large number of troops on this front and constantly flanked the enemy in the northern section of the south, so that the Japanese army in North China could not move south in this area, and temporarily stabilized the war situation.
Seeing that Shunroku Hatatake, who was still ineffective on the southern line of the Tsuura Line, Terauchi Shouichi decided to change his strategy and ordered Shaozhuang to send soldiers Seishiro Itagaki and Ryosuke Isoya to lead two army divisions of the North China Front to the south in an attempt to join forces in the Taierzhuang area. Once the North China Front succeeds in Taierzhuang, it can respond to the Japanese offensive at the southern end of the Jinpu Road and take Xuzhou in one fell swoop.
The two divisions of Itagaki and Isoya are the elite of the North China Front! In this offensive, the North China Front Army was quite ferocious, and it was very likely to encircle and annihilate the Chinese army in the Xuzhou area in one fell swoop. Under the command of Nishio Shouzo, commander of the Second Army on the North China front, the Japanese army marched to Taierzhuang in two directions with 780,000 troops. All the way is the 5th Division of Banyuan, which marched west along Jiaoji Road and approached Linyi; All the way is the 10th Division of Isogu, which went south along the Jinpu Road and went straight to Taierzhuang.
Seeing that the battle on the northern front is imminent, Chief Li naturally doesn't want anything to go wrong on the southern front at this time! So when he heard Xu Zuyi say that Huang Haoran planned to attack the Central China Front of Hata Junliu on the southern front, Chief Li immediately turned around:
"Brother Yan Mou! Don't be in a hurry! It's not too late for me to talk after I finish reading Huang Haoran's telegram! ”
Considering that Huang Haoran had spent a lot of effort to invite reinforcements from the 5th Theater, Chief Li still decided to understand the situation first, and Xu Zuyi angrily handed over the telegram sent by Huang Haoran to the Headquarters of the Commander of the 5th Theater to Chief Li, and did not forget to give Huang Haoran a few more charges!
"Such a battle plan is in vain! Huang Haoran only said that he was going to attack Shunroku Hata, and he didn't mention the specific combat area and attack time! The 25th Army still has to keep the commander's headquarters secret! Degong! I think you've spoiled this kid! ”
Chief Li comforted Xu Zuyi a few more words, and then carefully read the telegram sent by Huang Haoran, sure enough, it was the same as what Xu Zuyi said, Huang Haoran said very vaguely in the telegram, but the few words written at the end were very appetizing to Chief Li!
“...... It is expected that after this battle, the Japanese troops on both sides of the Huai River will be unable to take care of each other, and they will be stuck with our army along the Jinpu line, so that the Japanese army's attack on the Huai River valley will be completely bankrupt! ”
Isn't this the final effect exactly what Chief Li had in mind? Knight Xu Zuyi, who is the chief of staff, also understands that what the 5th Theater needs most now is Shunroku Hata on the southern front, and then free up his hands to deal with Seishiro Itagaki and Ryosuke Isoya in the north! The reason why he was so angry was actually mainly because Huang Haoran openly put forward such "excessive" demands as "the 25th Group Army temporarily controlled the 21st Group Army, the 31st Army, and the 51st Army" in the telegram!
Being commanded by his own "subordinates" in such a disguised way, Xu Zuyi, the chief of staff of the 5th theater, is naturally a little difficult to accept! In this regard, Chief Li is much more open-minded than Xu Zuyi! As long as Huang Haoran can really achieve the predetermined goal he said in the telegram, it is not a big deal to hand over the command of several armies to Huang Haoran!
"Brother Yan Mou! I think that's a good thing! In Dingyuan, Mingguang and other places, the Japanese army was attacked by the local people's armed forces, and they were made like ants on a hot pot! There are even armed organizations such as the Red Gun Society attacking the Japanese army everywhere in northern Anhui, causing the Japanese army to be unpeaceful day and night! In this way, the strength of the Central China Front of Shunroku Hata has actually been discounted, and if Huang Haoran can annihilate one or two more of his brigades, I believe that the battle on the southern front of Jinpu Road will come to an end in a short time! In this way, we can concentrate our forces on the Japanese army in North China! ”
Chief Li's words eased Xu Zuyi's mood a little, thinking carefully about the benefits after the success of the battle, this battle on the southern front really has some value!
"Yes! The people of northern Anhui are known as strong, brave and good at fighting, and there is a saying: 'the paper paste of the south of the Yangtze River, the iron of the north of Anhui'. After the Japanese army invaded the Huai River Valley, the people of northern Anhui spontaneously organized themselves to help us stop the Japanese army, they lurked in towns, villages, mountains and forests, and the Japanese army would be attacked by them every time they went to every village and town. It really helped us a lot! I don't don't believe in Huang Haoran's ability to fight! It's just that he is always unwilling to tell the theater commander's department all his battle plans, and he can't grasp the specific situation, so I'm always a little uneasy! ”
Xu Zuyi finally couldn't help but tell the truth, Chief Li smiled and patted Xu Zuyi's shoulder and said:
"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people! He, Huang Haoran, was able to take hundreds of thousands of Nanjing garrisons and Matsui Shigen for more than a month, and he had the ability to deal with Shunroku Hata! In fact, he has already told him about his battle plan in this telegram! Brother Yanmou! You see! The 48th Army held on to the Luqiao area, and the 7th Army coordinated with the 31st Army to attack the Japanese flank in Dingyuan in a roundabout way, and forced the main force of the Japanese 13th Division to return from the north bank of the Huai River. The 51st Army and the 25th Army took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and the 21st Army and the 31st Army concentrated from the south bank of the Huai River to the north bank! From this point of view, the area where Huang Haoran besieged the Central China Front should be between Fangjiagou and Cao Laoji! As for the object! It should be the 116th Wing of the Japanese Army! ”
Chief Li is a battle-hardened veteran! He deduced the combat area and the object of encirclement and annihilation of the 25th Group Army just by relying on the position that Huang Haoran asked the friendly forces to move to, and under the suggestion of Commander Li, Xu Zuyi quickly made a similar judgment.
"This kid! I really dare to think about it! If only he had made it to the south! Toshiroku Hata's Central China Front had to retreat to the south of the Huai River! In this way, we will be a little more sure of dealing with the Japanese army in North China! In that case, let's lose some face and hand over the command of the army on the southern front to him! ”
Seeing that Xu Zuyi had changed his attitude towards Huang Haoran, Chief Li also smiled and nodded, Huang Haoran's battle plan for the southern line of Jinpu Road was thus adopted, but before giving an order to Huang Haoran, Chief Li still sent a telegram to the highest authorities in Wuhan!
The highest authorities did say that he would not meddle in the affairs of the 5th war zone, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to know everything that happened in Xuzhou! What's more, now that Commander Li wants to use the 25th Group Army, a descendant of the highest authority, to fight on the southern front of the Jinpu Road, politely speaking, it is more appropriate to say hello first......
Chief Li doesn't want the highest authorities to play the trick of "settling accounts after the autumn" with him!
****************************************************
Wuhan, the official residence of the highest authorities.
In Wuhan at the beginning of February, winter had basically been said goodbye, and the top authorities now felt that his coat was a little unbearable, and his whole body was a little hot, and even the top of his bare head was oozing with fine beads of sweat.
Chief Li is right! If he hadn't promised Li Delin not to meddle in the affairs of the 5th War Zone, how could the supreme authorities still live in Wuhan now?
5. The war zone must hold on to Xuzhou for a longer time! Without time and buffer, it will be difficult for Wuhan to be saved! After losing East China and North China one after another, Wuhan must not be lost again!
Since the war with the Japanese in July 1937, only more than half a year has passed, half of China's rivers and mountains have fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and the unwilling supreme authorities have no choice but to retreat again and again.
If Wuhan is lost again, then the government of the highest authority will have to retreat into the mountains of Sichuan. Thinking of the prosperity of Jinling City in the past year, when cars were like dragons and people were like flowing water, the heart of the highest authorities was sour, and two crystal tears poured out of the corners of their eyes.
The mood of the highest authorities has never been so low as it is today. From the overthrow of the Qing court to the establishment of today's great cause, although the supreme authorities have experienced many setbacks along the way, and on several occasions they even had to die alone in Japan, but the mood of the supreme authorities at that time seems to be much stronger than today!
This is because at that time, in the hearts of the highest authorities, the Qing court had become a dead wood, and there was no longer the power to rejuvenate, and it was only a matter of time before it was overthrown! At that time, the highest authorities had already seen the light, so their confidence was extremely strong. But today, as the leader of a country and the chairman of the government, the supreme authorities have become a little troubled when thinking about problems and looking at things, but they are not as free and easy as they were at the beginning......
In the final analysis, the highest authorities still don't have much confidence in the war, and they don't want China to die in his hands! Thousands of generations of fame can be without! But there must be no crimes! The highest authorities now even wonder if they were too hasty in deciding to go all-out war against Japan......
Behind the supreme authority, the door was gently pushed open, and the small and elegant "lady" entered the room one by one, and with only one word, she pulled the supreme authority back to reality in her thoughts.
"Darling, beware of the wind chill......"
The supreme authority looked up at the graceful "Madame" in front of him, and in a moment of sadness, he actually grabbed the delicate hand of the "Madame" and put it in his palm and stroked it. Feeling the body temperature of "Madame", the thoughts of the highest authorities began to become chaotic again.....
"Darling, retreating from Nanjing to Wuhan didn't let you live a good life for a few days, I ......"
As he spoke, the words of the supreme authority became a little choked.
"Madam" said with a smile, her jade teeth slightly exposed; "You have forgotten that we believers don't care about these ......"
The highest authorities slammed their deflated, denture-filled mouths twice and then didn't know what to say. He stood up and walked to the window, his hands behind his back. "Madame" followed him to the window. Outside the window, there was silence on the surface of East Lake, and a cool breeze blew, and the highest authorities couldn't help but shiver. "Madame" saw that the supreme authorities were very concerned today, so she took the initiative to ask; "Darling, are you still worried about the war on the front?"
The answer of the highest authority was somewhat incorrect, and he stared at the surface of the East Lake and said slowly: "The Japanese do not want to let me go, and there are many people in the party who are in tune with the Japanese. I don't know what to do in the middle of it, and I can't help but be confused! ”
With that, the highest authority paced back to the sofa and sat down.
"Madame" naturally understood who the "many people" in the words of the highest authority were talking about, she stood with a smile, turned around and continued to enlighten the highest authority:
"Darling, have you forgotten the story that Huanzhang (Feng Yuxiang's words) told a few days ago?"
The supreme authority tilted his head thoughtfully, but he did not speak, but continued to listen with his ears pricked up.
"I think Huanzhang has a point. During the Three Kingdoms, Lu Zijing persuaded Sun Quan that everyone could make peace, but the lord and the public could not. When everyone descends to Cao, they can still be called marquis, while Sun Quan descends to Cao, and he can only follow lightly, and live forever under the people without a future. Today's situation is like history has turned back, the Japanese can tolerate everyone around you, even Wang Zhaoming, but they can't tolerate you! Wouldn't Konoe's statement be clearer? So there must be no more hesitation on this issue now. ”
"Madame" is not only the life partner of the highest authority, but also the colleague of the highest authority in the political career. The sharp words of "Madam" immediately made the minds of the supreme authorities much clearer, and the momentum that became more and more frustrated when the Qing court was overthrown seemed to have slowly returned to the supreme authorities.
The highest authority pressed the button on the table, and then told the guard officer who came in: "Please come to me immediately, Chief Qian!" ”
Not long after the guard officer retreated, Qian Dajun hurriedly entered the house. The highest authority stood up and solemnly confessed: "Chief Qian! You should immediately contact Commander Li of the 5th Theater and ask about the Battle of Xuzhou......"
Qian Dajun happened to be holding the telegram just sent by the 5th War Zone in his hand, and he told the highest authorities that Chief Li called and said that he planned to let Huang Haoran fight a war of annihilation on the southern line of Jinpu Road.
"Oh? How sure is the 5 theater of operations? How sure is Li Delin? How sure is Huang Youchen? ”
Asked three times in a row "how sure are you", which also reflects the desire of the highest authorities for victory now! From the end of the Battle of Nanjing until now, the Chinese army has not been able to fight any decent victories on the battlefield, which makes the highest authorities somewhat lacking confidence when speaking in peacetime, he knows that Wang Zhaoming has not said behind his back that he is a "boiled duck--- with a hard mouth!" ”
Now that he suddenly heard that his "victorious general" was going to give him a gift again, the highest authorities were very happy! The weight of the battle plan made by Huang Haoran and the combat opportunities made by other generals is completely different in the eyes of the highest authorities! This is because Huang Haoran has never let down the highest authorities so far!
"This.... Commissioning ...... I ......"
Qian Dajun obviously didn't expect the highest authorities to ask him these questions, and these questions should not be answered by him Qian Dajun, but it is impossible for him to get the highest authorities to withdraw his questions! In his eagerness, Qian Dajun's forehead began to sweat!
Recently, the highest authorities have begun to reuse Lin Wei, and Qian Dajun's position is about to be lost, and Qian Dajun doesn't want to upset the highest authorities at this time!
In the end, it was "Mrs." who relieved Qian Dajun. "Madame" reminded the highest authorities in a coquettish tone that Qian Dajun was not Li Delin, so he could not give an answer......
Only then did the highest authorities realize that this time he was acting a little too anxious.
"Director Qian, you leave the telegram, I will send the telegram back to Li Delin after I read it, you go out and rest first......
"Yes! Commission! Qian Dajun was relieved, he glanced at "Madam" when he put down the telegram, and his eyes were full of gratitude! In the future, it seems that he will have to count on the care of "Madame"!
Unlike the telegram sent by Huang Haoran to the headquarters of the commander of the 5th theater of operations, the telegram sent by Chief Li to the highest authorities clearly described the tactics that Huang Haoran might adopt and the expected results of the battle. The highest authorities read the word "one" in the line "It is expected to annihilate a wing of the Japanese army" several times! He really wished that he would add a vertical to the word "one" and become a "ten"!
How many elite soldiers have the Japanese already let the highest authorities lose! Annihilating only one wing of the Japanese is really a little less......
However, it is better than not winning battles......
"In the end, I have to count on Huang Youchen to give me a boost! Darling, this kid you fancy is really extraordinary! ”
When the highest authorities praised Huang Haoran, they praised "Mrs." by the way, which can be regarded as the highest authorities' "reciprocation" for the "Mrs." who had just explained his emotions for him. In the face of the "gentleness" shown by the highest authorities, the face of "Madame" bloomed, and she said softly: "Darling, don't be bored in the house all the time, let's go out for a walk......
After saying that, "Madame" took the arm of the highest authority and walked to the door. At this moment, the highest authorities felt like they had knocked over a honey pot, and they were ...... sweetly
Two hours later, Chief Lee received a call back from the highest authority, which read:
"See! ....... Wangde Gong sat in command and made great contributions to the south line of Jinpu Road! ”
The highest authorities still can't get rid of his penchant for pointing fingers! Didn't you say that you would not meddle in the affairs of the 5 theater of operations? How do you get it right?
Chief Li took this callback, shook his head and smiled bitterly as he read it......
****************************************************
Shen Lao Er finally got the opportunity to play, and he naturally worked hard! When Shen Lao Er was the commander of the 99th Division before, he only needed to fight according to Huang Haoran's orders, but this time, it was Shen Lao Er who completed the operation from beginning to end!
If you win in the end, this sense of accomplishment is indescribable!
Under the influence of Huang Haoran's offensive awareness, Shen Lao Er is always looking for an opportunity to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army, he doesn't like passive defense, because in the past half a year, he has seen too many tragedies!
On the frontal anti-Japanese battlefield, the Chinese army was passively beaten most of the time, and Shen Lao Er saw the Chinese army on the Songhu battlefield with his own eyes, and only knew that the cat was blindly dead in the bunker overturned by artillery fire!
What kind of battle is that? There were Japanese planes and bombs roaring in the sky, devils were bombarding the heavy artillery on the ground, and the chariots were rampage, and the Chinese officers and soldiers could only use their flesh and blood to fill the trenches and block the Japanese attack! So where is the war? It's pure death! In the end, the Chinese army was defeated, and it was defeated very badly! After some troops retreated, the number of people was counted, and there were only two or three out of ten survivors! In other words, their commander threw seventy or eighty percent of the officers and soldiers on the positions on the Songhu front!
Let's take a look at Big Brother's 99th Army! From Songhu to Nanjing, from the 99th Division to the 99th Army and then to the Nanjing Garrison, the eldest brother Huang Haoran led his army to usher in victory after victory! In these battles, the Chinese army has never put away their iron fist! Having both offense and defense is the right situation for war!
After thinking about it, Shen Lao Er came to a conclusion. A strategic mistake was enough to ruin the troops, and the only way to defend the defense was to wait to be beaten and to die. You have to attack and pounce aggressively on your opponent to protect yourself. Now, Shen Lao Er wants to fight a battle with Little Japan on the southern line of Jinpu Road in the way of his eldest brother Huang Haoran!
After the Japanese Central China Front captured Nanjing, the arrogant Japanese no longer had any military taboos, and allowed their troops to run wild on the land of China, and sometimes a wing dared to run hundreds of kilometers away from the main force. This is the case with Fangjiagou's 116th Wing, in the face of the Chinese defenders who are several times larger than the 116th Wing, Tian Tianfu actually dares to take the initiative to provoke a war! Such arrogance is simply hard for Shen Lao Er to believe!
It's time to teach the Japanese a lesson!
According to Huang Haoran's order, the troops invested by the 25th Army on the southern line of Jinpu Road were the 99th Division and the 189th Division of the 99th Army, and the 100th Division of the 139th Army. Shen Lao Er served as the commander-in-chief of the three divisions. With the assistance of the 139th Division, the two battalions of the 189th Division in Fangjiagou supported until noon before they began to retreat on their own initiative, and the defense line of the 25th Army was now open to a big opening, and the pockets had been opened, so it was up to the Japanese to take the bait!
"Shao Ganyong, Shao Ganyong, it depends on whether this bait under your kid can mobilize the 116 Wing....."
****************************************************
The unit that received the retreat of the two battalions of the 189th Division was the 540th Regiment of the 139th Division, and the regiment commander Shao Ganyong asked Zheng Tao to take his 2nd battalion to Fangjiagou in order to ensure the completion of the task assigned to him by Shen Yuanlong.
After half a day of fierce fighting, there were less than 300 officers and soldiers left in Fangjiagou's 189th Division, and the two most elite battalions in Zhang Jing's hands lost 70% of their troops, which shows that the 189th Division, a newly formed infantry division, is still very weak in combat effectiveness.
Zheng Tao's 2nd Battalion protected the remnants of the two battalions of the 189th Division, fighting and retreating. Zheng Tao They can't run too fast, so the 116 Wing may not be able to keep up; At the same time, they can't run too slowly, and it will be a lot of trouble if they get entangled in the 116 Wing.
From Fangjiagou to Cao Laoji, it is necessary to pass through Taipinggang, Bada Ji and Xintaizi, the whole journey is about 12 kilometers, Zheng Tao's task is to bring as many Japanese troops as possible to Cao Laoji, where Qian Guoliang's 99th Division is already in full array, and Li Yuhe's 139th Division is responsible for cutting off the retreat of the 116th Wing!
The bulky Type 92 heavy machine guns were discarded on the Fangjiagou position, and the 2nd Battalion stuffed grenades under these machine guns to destroy the weapons, which was not the patent of the Japanese army! Coupled with the coordinated performance of the artillery, the 116th Wing failed to get any weighty capture from Fangjiagou!
The infantry squadron and cavalry squad pursuing the Chinese army had been dispatched, but the main force of the 116th Wing with Captain Tian Tian Fu stopped at the Fangjiagou position, and Captain Mitsui failed to fulfill his promise to let Captain Tian Tian Fu have breakfast in Fangjiagou, but he still let Captain Tian Tian Fu catch up with lunch.
The Mitsui Brigade suffered about 300 casualties in the half-day engagement, and the 189th Division's losses were about 800 people, and the exchange ratio of less than 1:3 was not an outstanding achievement, and the mood of the Mitsui Brigade was now a little low.
Onimi Nakasa and Hatoyama Nakasa looked a little happy, the combat soldiers of an infantry brigade of the Japanese army were about 7,050 people, and the Mitsui brigade, which suffered more than one-third casualties, would definitely not be able to continue to sing the leading role in the next battle, and the eccentricity of Captain Tsugami should end here!
"Mitsui-kun! You don't have to be so upset! You are facing the elite Huang Haoran of the Zhi Na people! That's a remarkable result! I can see very clearly that Huang Haoran's troops have sent two batches of reinforcements to Fangjiagou, and their combat effectiveness is very good! This shows that the Fangjiagou position is very important to the Chinese army! Your brigade has done a great job! ”
The relief of Captain Tim Tianfu moved Mitsui Nakasa to tears, and he shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, Captain Tsui! My brigade can still fight! I beg your permission to go after the Shina people! They should have collapsed! The 116th Wing should complete a war of annihilation! ”
Onimi Nakasa and Hatoyama Nakasa snorted coldly at the same time! Why did Mitsui Nakasa ask for a fight? Could it be that there was only one infantry brigade in the 116th Wing? Everything is handed over to the Mitsui Brigade, so what do you want the Onami Brigade and the Hatoyama Brigade to do?
"Mitsui-kun! Your brigade has suffered so badly that it's time to take a break! Trust us! Our two brigades will definitely not let go of those fleeing Chinese troops! Your Excellency, Wing Commander! The Onemi Brigade and the Hatoyama Brigade request an attack! ”
Onimi Nakasa and Hatoyama Nakasa quickly jumped out and blocked Mitsui Nakasa, they couldn't let Mitsui Nakasa continue to perform his "Brave!" If you toss it any longer, the Chinese army will run away!
"There's no rush! It's not too late to wait for the cavalry's reconnaissance results to be sent back and then pursue! Didn't you find the reaction of the 99th Army a little strange? We have captured Fangjiagou, but the Chinese defenders on the left and right are staying in their positions and not moving! And the 99th Army has not sent troops to counterattack until now! Such a mistake should not be made by the 99th Army! ”
Captain Tian Tianfu raised his question, in his opinion, unless the Fangjiagou position is worthless, the 99th Army should not behave like this, but if the Fangjiagou position is really not important, why should the Zhina army use precious heavy artillery troops and multiple reinforcements? This doesn't make sense!
Captain Tima Fu's idea was originally very reasonable, but when Onimi Nakasa and Hatoyama Nakasa heard it, they felt that Captain Tima Fu was protecting Mitsui Nakasa again! Because the Mitsui Brigade was no longer able to complete the task of pursuing and annihilating the Chinese army, Captain Tian Tian Fu actually wanted to give up the original plan! Onimi Nakasa and Hatoyama Nakasa don't want this battle to die like this! Their brigade hasn't come yet!
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander! I think Huang Haoran's 99th Army has done its best! In front of all their positions, there were units of the Imperial Army! This is the reason why they didn't dare to send troops to reinforce Fang Jiagou! In the battle just now, the small group of troops reinforced by the 99th Army was very elite, and they also used a lot of heavy artillery! This all shows that the 99th Army really has no other way! Your Excellency, Wing Commander! Let's not forget! Huang Haoran's troops had just ended, and the Battle of Nanjing had not been long in coming! His current strength should be extremely limited! Plus the big battle a few days ago! The 99th Army is already unsustainable! It's our 116th Wing's desperate assault! Only then did he break through the camouflage of the 99th Army! The fact that the army of China is weak is revealed! I think we should rush forward now! Bite the main force of the 99th Army! That's the most important thing at the moment! ”
Onimi Nakasa spoke first, and his words could indeed give Captain Tian Tian Fu a reasonable explanation, but Captain Tian Tian Fu still had a feeling that waiting for the 116 team in front would be a trap!
"Should we ask the Brigade Commander for advice?"
Mitsui Nakasa once again spoke just right, and Captain Tian Tian Fu was also a little moved, indeed, it is also a good idea to ask the brigade commander for instructions now, after all, the 116 Wing has occupied Fangjiagou, which can be regarded as a great achievement! If the brigade commander does not allow the 116th Wing to move on, then simply withdraw the troops! If the brigade commander approves the battle plan of the 116th Wing, it means that the 116th Wing will no longer be alone! In this way, you can also feel more at ease when pursuing!
"Can't! You must not ask for instructions from the brigade headquarters! This time the speaker was Hatoyama Nakasa, who insisted that the 116th Wing should not have contacted the brigade headquarters so early, and even if they really wanted to make contact, it should be after they had penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Chinese army, and Hatoyama Nakasa believed that with the current strength of the 116th Wing, it was enough to withstand the multi-day siege of Huang Haoran's 99th Army! Even if they are besieged by the army of the 5th theater in the pursuit, as long as the 116th Wing takes the initiative to hug together and form a defensive circle to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, there will definitely be no danger! Moreover, it is also possible to firmly attract the main force of the Chinese army around the 116th Wing, and create an excellent fighter for the main force of the Central China Front to encircle and annihilate the vital forces of the Chinese army!
I really have to admire Hatoyama Nakasa's eloquence, after his boasting, the pursuit of the 116th Wing not only became a performance of bravery, but also had the spirit of sacrificing one's life! In front of such a brilliant thought, Captain Tian Tian Fu felt that he had also become noble!
"Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander! The scout cavalry sent out has returned! “
"Great! They came back just in time! Hurry up and invite the former original team leader over! ”
After hearing the "reasons" of Hatoyama Nakasa and Onimi Nakasa, in the hearts of the captain of the Tsuen Tsugami Tsuga, the idea of the 116th Wing continuing to pursue and advance has prevailed! Now, he also wanted to hear what the Scout Cavalry had discovered!
"Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander! The fleeing Chinese army discarded a lot of supplies and equipment along the way! Their march was very scattered! From time to time, the commander of the Chinese army sent out small units to try to stop the pursuit of the imperial army, but we found that those small forces quickly chose to flee in disobedience! In the vast area from Fangjiagou to Badaji, the reconnaissance cavalry did not find any signs of the activities of the Zhina army! They must have really retreated! ”
The words of the former original squad leader made Captain Tian Tian Fu make up his mind! He stood up and gave the order to fight!
"Goal! The fleeing Chinese army, keep the distance between the various divisions! Let's go! Chase forward! ”
"Hay!"
The Fangjiagou position soon became buzzing, and the 116th Wing of the Captain of Tiantianfu was about to start moving......
