6.25 Misguided 114th Division

When Fan Jie was busy on the map, the county town of Lishui, which was surrounded by Japanese soldiers like an iron bucket, also became lively. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The battalion of the 10th Division left in Lishui County immediately fell into chaos after discovering that they were surrounded by Japanese troops, and some soldiers quietly took off their military uniforms and changed into civilian clothes to slip away, but these people turned around along the wall of the county town and failed to find a way to escape, because there were no more people in the county, so these deserters were quickly found by their commanders.

There is no way, there are only these people in the city, as long as they see those who are not wearing military uniforms or acting alone, they must be deserted, and their battalion commander even omits the interrogation process.

However, Battalion Commander Zhu did not order the execution of these soldiers, and his strength was already tight, and he did not want to weaken his strength anymore.

The number of deserters in front of Battalion Commander Zhu accounted for at least one-third of the entire battalion, and if these more than 200 people were executed now, the entire Lishui County would really have to be handed over to the Japanese......

However, the officers and men of the 10th Division did not get some bad news, and after the toss of the "deserters", Battalion Commander Zhu and the others discovered that there was another unit in Lishui County.

Du Hao is the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 47th Independent Brigade, Battalion Commander Du and his subordinates belong to the broken rear unit of the Independent 47th Brigade, the 114th Division bites very tightly behind them, and the 2nd Battalion failed to get rid of the devils who followed them, and they had to crash into Lishui County in a hurry.

It was precisely because the scouts of the 114th Division saw that the 2nd Battalion retreated into Lishui County in front of their eyes, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Suematsu Shigeji, did not dare to order an immediate attack on the city, because it was night, the scouts of the 114th Division could not judge the number of troops entering Lishui County, they could only give Suematsu Shigeji a very vague report, "It is estimated that the strength of this group of Nanjing defenders who have just entered Lishui County is more than one regiment." ”

The number mentioned in this report is more than three times the actual number of the 2 battalion!

Based on the scout's intelligence and his understanding of the strategic value of Lishui County, Suematsu Shigeji finally came to an erroneous judgment that there should be at least one Chinese division in Lishui County, so Suematsu Shigeji ordered all units of the 114th Division to carry out a comprehensive siege deployment.

After the 2nd Battalion entered Lishui County, it immediately began to seize the commanding heights in the county, Du Hao sent a company to each of the two important positions of Huatanggang and Yongshou Temple, and he himself took the other 2 companies to the city wall of Lishui County.

As a result, Du Hao met the remaining troops of the 10th Division at the south gate of the county, and the men and horses on both sides were startled by the sudden appearance of the other party, and the 2nd Battalion had already received a notice from the brigade headquarters that Lishui County had been abandoned, and when they crashed in, they were still wondering why the 10th Division did not lay mines at the gate of the city as planned.

The first reaction of the two battalions was to think that the other party was the vanguard of the Japanese army entering the city, and the officers and soldiers immediately pulled the bolts in their hands to make a loud noise, but fortunately, Du Hao's eyes were sharp, and in the darkness he still recognized that the closest "enemy" was wearing the green uniform of the Central Army, so he shouted loudly:

"Stop! Stop! Misunderstanding! It's your own people! ”

Battalion Commander Zhu of the Pre-10th Division heard Du Hao's shout, but he did not dare to relax at all, the city defense headquarters had already notified them that there were agents in the Japanese army who were proficient in Chinese, so Battalion Commander Zhu was 120,000 careful about these unclear friendly troops.

How can there be people in the county seat?

It shouldn't be!

Battalion Commander Zhu opened the safety of the pistol while thinking, and he also asked the person on the opposite side loudly:

"What part of the brethren are they? Let's report 10,000 first! ”

Du Hao thought to himself, why is there still black words in the other party's sentences? You can't be so unlucky that you really bumped into a bunch of little devils, right?

Du Hao's hand pressed down on his subordinates, and the officers and soldiers of the two companies behind him immediately began to seize the surrounding houses and favorable firing positions, and the only two mortars of the 2nd battalion were also quickly erected.

Du Hao took out the Mauser pistol on his waist and turned on the nose of the machine, he felt that the other party also took some actions in the dark, but the tactical literacy over there was obviously not as good as that of the 2nd Battalion, and the chaotic sound of the army on the opposite side could be heard from afar......

"We are from the 99th Army! What are you from? ”

Du Hao leaned against a low wall first, and then replied in a loud voice, and he took out 2 grenades from behind his buttocks.

After hearing this, Battalion Commander Zhu became even more suspicious, the 99th Army? How could he run to Lishui, he did not receive a notice from the division headquarters, so Battalion Commander Zhu did not know that the 99th Army had already been engaged in the battle near Lishui.

"Little devil! Don't pretend to be a fool! I'm not afraid to tell you that we are pre-10 divisions! Use your brain more next time you want to ......! ”

As he spoke, Battalion Commander Zhu raised his gun and was about to fire, but fortunately Du Hao reacted quickly, as soon as he heard the other party scolding, he immediately realized that the situation was not good, it seems that the officers and soldiers of the 10th Division on the opposite side were the same as themselves, and they were blocked by the 114th Division when they were about to retreat, in order to quickly stop this fratricidal tragedy, Du Hao shouted:

"! Lao Tzu is from the independent 47 brigade! You Lan Ginseng, please help you deal with the little devils! How! After reciting the scriptures, hit the monk?!! ”

Battalion Commander Zhu listened to Du Hao's shout, restrained himself from shooting at the last moment, Battalion Commander Zhu sent two soldiers to contact the 2nd Battalion, and after confirming that the other party was really a friendly army, the two sides were very happy to meet the division.

Battalion Commander Zhu was very happy when he saw Du Hao, he and his subordinates finally did not have to fight alone, it was a good thing to have more people to guard Lishui County after all, and Du Hao's 2nd Battalion also had a radio station, and the communication problem between Lishui County and Nanjing was finally solved.

Battalion Commander Zhu and Du Hao began to exchange the situation of their respective troops together, the 2nd Battalion is still complete and has a large number of people, Battalion Commander Zhu's battalion will be a lot bleaker, not to mention anything else, these more than 200 subordinates who have been deserters are very problematic!

Du Hao heard Battalion Commander Zhu say that there were deserters in the department, and he was a little unhappy, and he deliberately said loudly in front of Battalion Commander Zhu:

"If you run out, you'll survive!? Do you know why Commander Huang evacuated all the people on the outskirts of Nanjing City in advance? Isn't it because the little devil is not human at all! The little devil did a lot of lack of morality on the way from Shanghai to Nanjing! We can only pick up weapons and fight devils, and the end of begging for mercy is that we will be scolded by the little devils for losing our lives! Whoever wants to surrender just go! Anyway, Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu's soldiers will never surrender to Little Japan! ”

Du Hao's words made the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the 10th Division cold, Du Hao knew that after this period of fear, they would become brave, and those who had no way to retreat would no longer sway from side to side, anyway, they would all die, it was better to choose a way to die!

Sure enough, the mentality of the officers and soldiers of the 10th Pre-Division soon changed, and they thought to themselves that there were more than 10,000 devils outside the county anyway, and they couldn't run away, his uncle! Let's fight!

Battalion Commander Zhu understood that Du Hao had used the radical method for his subordinates, and he smiled at Du Hao gratefully, Du Hao's methods made Battalion Commander Zhu feel admired, although Du Hao's military rank was major, and Battalion Commander Zhu's military rank was Lieutenant Colonel, but the eye-catching Battalion Commander Zhu still handed over the command of his troops to Du Hao.

The soldiers of the 10th Division and the 99th Army are not at the same level at all, let him command the elite soldiers under Du Hao, Battalion Commander Zhu does not have that confidence!

Huatanggang and Yongshou Temple, two important places, Du Hao did not dare to hand over to the troops of the 10th Division, he let this battalion of the 10th Division and the remaining troops of the 2nd Battalion go up the city wall of Lishui County together.

There is a fairly deep moat outside Lishui County, as long as you can hold a few bridges on the moat, you can delay it for a while, but it's a pity that the 10th Division didn't put explosives under these bridges, otherwise Du Hao would definitely choose to send these bridges to the sky at the first time!

Du Hao looked out from between the battlements of the city wall, the Japanese actually lit a bonfire in the barracks, because the Chinese army lacked artillery, and the Japanese completely controlled the air superiority, so they did not have to take any light control at night.

"If Lao Tzu has a few cannons, I'll tell these little devils to drink a good pot!"

Du Hao's teeth creaked when he spoke......

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

Fan Jie and the staff officers of the headquarters tossed around the map for a long time and failed to come up with a battle plan, the Nanjing garrison really does not have an advantage in terms of troops, once it is entangled with the Japanese army and cannot retreat, it will be extremely passive, Fan Jie now also understands Huang Haoran's ambivalence.

I can't see that the taste is really uncomfortable!

At this time, an officer suddenly ran from the confidential room over there, he walked quickly in front of Fan Jie, and then handed over a piece of telegram paper, and the officer saluted and began to report to Fan Jie:

"Report to Staff Officer Fan, the defenders of Lishui County sent a telegram to Brigade Commander Xie of the Independent 47th Brigade, and one of Brigade Commander Xie's battalions was also trapped in Lishui County, they were asking for instructions on how to act, Brigade Commander Xie felt that this news might affect the next arrangement of the headquarters, so he forwarded this telegram, and Brigade Commander Xie was still waiting for the instructions of the headquarters next to the radio!"

This battalion that appeared out of thin air surprised Fan Jie, this is good, I didn't expect to draw blood from the 114th Division and lose another battalion, facing the heavy troops of Suematsu Shigeji outside Lishui County, not to mention one more battalion, even one more regiment, it can only be a drop in the bucket!

Just when Fan Jie was thinking about it, Sasaki's special high-tech brought a good news, Sasaki's "Japanese traitors" actually used the old Japanese army's secret code to deduce the new code of the Japanese army, I have to say that the Japanese people's thinking mode is relatively fixed, Sasaki and their authentic Yamato men's thinking and the Japanese army's cipher personnel have achieved a high degree of consistency, after these days of monitoring and sorting and analysis, Sasaki They have been able to translate most of the content of the Japanese army's secret code.

After making sure that everything was right, Sasaki immediately ran to his master to announce the good news.

By using the new cipher code to decipher the Japanese telegrams intercepted in the past, the "Japanese traitors" discovered that the intelligence personnel of the Central China Front had already deciphered the code that the Nanjing Garrison was now using, but fortunately, Huang Haoran had always insisted that all important orders and documents should be transmitted by wired telephone or letter, so the Japanese army did not know much about the situation of the Nanjing Garrison.

Knowing oneself and knowing the other can survive a hundred battles, and it is about to start a full-scale battle with the Central China Dispatch Army, at this time it is definitely a good thing to be able to understand the movements in the heart of the Japanese army, Fan Jie looked at Sasaki with a smile on his face, and he felt that he should praise this "Japanese traitor leader" a few words.

"Chief Sasaki, you've done a great job this time! If the commander listens to your report, he doesn't know how to reward you! ”

"Thank you Chief of Staff Fan for the compliment! These are all things we should do, all for the sake of the military seat! ”

When Sasaki came in, the movement was a little big, and Huang Haoran, who was lying on the conference table, woke up from his sleep again, Sasaki saw his big boss and immediately ran over, he carefully helped Huang Haoran, and kept saying:

"The commander is glad to be miserable! The commander is glad to suffer! We are really touched by your spirit of calling the headquarters home! ”

Fan Jie covered his cheeks beside him, and he felt that Sasaki's words made his teeth a little sore.

"Oh! Chief Jokowa! I just heard you arguing there, and said, what's the matter? ”

When Sasaki heard Huang Haoran "affectionately" call him Chief Zoko, he felt that the bones on his body were suddenly lighter, and Sasaki's next words made Fan Jie almost squirt out of a mouthful of water, and Huang Haoran felt very useful.

"Commander! Commander! Great news! Our confidential personnel of the special high-tech department have deciphered the secret code of the Japanese army, and now every move of this old devil Matsui Shigen will be under the eyes of the commander! ”

It's really funny to hear these "Japanese traitors" call Matsui Ishine an old devil, Sasaki seems to be planning to completely draw a line with his Japanese identity, I don't know if Huang Haoran is willing to take his son, if Huang Haoran is willing, then Sasaki can't be excited to hold Huang Haoran's thigh and lick Huang Haoran's toes?

Huang Haoran didn't know that Fan Jie had already arranged a "Japanese godson" for him in such a kung fu skill, and his attention was focused on Sasaki's body.

Actually deciphered the Japanese army's cipher code?

It's so timely!

It's just what you want!

Although Huang Haoran was resting just now, he never stopped thinking in his brain, the 114th Division outside Lishui County was holding his heart, if he couldn't take a bite of this piece of fat, Huang Haoran would definitely have regrets.

It is not easy to lead the 114th Division to divide the troops, Shigeharu Suematsu is not a fool, naturally he will not let the Nanjing Garrison lead the way, especially since the Nanjing Garrison has just eliminated the 150th Wing of the 114th Division, and the vigilance of Shigeji Suematsu must be very high at this time!

So Huang Haoran, like Fan Jie, made a mistake in how to mobilize Shigeji Suematsu, and now Sasaki has given himself such a big gift all of a sudden, how not to make Huang Haoran feel overjoyed.

As long as the central nerve of the 114th Division is grasped, the matter of mobilizing Shigeharu Suematsu will become much simpler......

Huang Haoran gave Sasaki a new task, and soon the radio station of the Nanjing garrison became busy......

The Japanese military intelligence agencies have finally intercepted a batch of important "military intelligence"!

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

The headquarters of the 114th Division outside Lishui County.

Chief of Staff Saburo Isoda said loudly in the face of the angry generals in the tent:

"Gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! Be quiet, please! Please be quiet! His Excellency the Division Commander will be here soon! ”

Major General Mitsuzaburo Akiyama, commander of the 127th Infantry Brigade, ignored Isoda's words, and he shouted impatiently:

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, why are we standing still outside this Lishui County? The 6th Division and the 18th Division were all approaching me at full speed, and our 114th Division could have been the first to enter Nanjing! Is it true that such a great honor should be given to someone else? ”

Major General Mitsuzaburo Akiyama was accompanied by Major General Obaof, the commander of the 128th Brigade, and several wing commanders of the 114th Division, who seemed to have forgotten the tragedy of his 150th Wing being completely annihilated by the Nanjing garrison, and his voice was even louder than that of Mitsuzaburo Akiyama!

Chief of Staff Isoda Saburo Osa is a senior intellectual, and it is indeed a little reluctant to let him restrain these wolf-like subordinates, in the face of the provocation of his subordinates, Isoda Saburo Osa did not have the same strong pressure as other Japanese division chiefs of staff, Isoda Saburo's somewhat cowardly attitude made these senior officers of the 114th Division more unscrupulous......

Seeing that Saburo Isoda was about to be unable to suppress these generals, Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu opened the tent door of the division headquarters and walked in.

Seeing Shigeji Suematsu appear, the generals who were still three feet tall just now immediately quieted down, and taking advantage of this moment, Saburo Isoda took out the handkerchief in his pocket and secretly wiped his sweat.

Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu saw Isoda's embarrassed appearance and knew that his chief of staff had been provoked by his subordinates again, Suematsu Shigeji frowned, Isoda Saburo was actually a very competent chief of staff, but he was a little worse in terms of momentum.

Perhaps, it is because of such a chief of staff that the 150th Wing suffered the fate of total annihilation, right?

The hot-tempered Major General Akiyama Mitsuzaburo saw that Suematsu Shigeharu endured for a while and jumped out, his 127 Brigade did not suffer any major losses, and also "defeated" the independent 47 Brigade of the 99th Army, the ace of the Chinese Army, which made Major General Akiyama Mitsusaburo's self-confidence swell to the extreme, he couldn't wait for the division commander to allow his 127 Brigade to go straight to Nanjing now, Major General Akiyama Mitsuzaburo felt that it was a very bad thing for the 114th Division to revolve around Lishui County!

Idiot Obov! Actually annihilated a whole wing by the Chinese! The incompetent 128 Brigade weakened the ambitions of His Excellency the Division Commander!

Thinking about Aobaofu begging for himself in private, Akiyama Mitsuzaburo felt very comfortable, but since he agreed to fight for Obaof's 128 Brigade, Akiyama Mitsuzaburo will continue to make noise:

"Your Excellency, Division Commander! We shouldn't keep our eyes on the small county town of Lishui, Nanjing is close at hand! Please give the division commander an order, my 127th Brigade will definitely become the first unit of the Imperial Japanese Army to enter the city of Nanjing! ”

Shigeharu Suematsu felt irritated when he saw the brave and unscrupulous Akiyama Mitsuzaburo, and this martial artist was pushed out by his colleagues as the first bird, and Akiyama Mitsuzaburo himself didn't know it yet!

If Shigeharu Suematsu wasn't the division commander of the 114th Division, he would have been slapped in the face, but unfortunately, he happened to be the division commander of the 114th Division, and he still had to take into account the morale of his subordinates!

So Shigeharu Suematsu had no choice but to suppress his anger and encouraged Akiyama Mitsuzaburo with a few words:

"Akiyama-kun's loyalty to Greater Japan is commendable! I will remember your request, and I promise that as long as there is an opportunity to attack the city of Nanjing, your 127 Brigade will definitely be placed in the first echelon! ”

Mitsuzaburo Akiyama, who had been "appreciated" by the division commander, glanced at several other Japanese generals proudly, and the smugness on his face was undoubtedly revealed.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Shigeji Suematsu's mouth......

Seeing that he was instigated to stand up for himself, Mitsuzaburo Akiyama was appeased by Shigeharu Suematsu in a few words, the commander of the 128th Brigade, Major General Obaof, couldn't help it, he had to jump out in person, the most anxious person in the 114th Division is now, Yamamoto Shigetsu is his subordinate, and the total annihilation of the 150th Wing is a great shame for Major General Obaof!

Shigeharu Suematsu stared at Obov with wolf-like eyes, he had already guessed that Obov was the real inviter, and now, this guy hiding behind the scenes has finally appeared!

Sure enough, it's a cunning care! However, even such a cunning Obaofu lost a big ugly face in front of the Nanjing garrison, and Shigeharu Suematsu felt that the combat effectiveness of the Nanjing garrison was unfathomable.

However, there is some truth in Obaov's insistence, if the 114th Division really stays in Lishui County and has no achievements, then the commander of the 10th Army will soon put pressure on the 114th Division.

So, it's still necessary to put on some positive gestures......

Attacking Lishui County with all its might, that is the next policy, the 114th Division has already drained the water around Lishui County, and Lishui County has long been in the bag of the 10th Army, so even if Suematsu Shigeji quickly captures Lishui County, it is not a big result, fortunately, before returning to the division headquarters, Suematsu Shigeji got an important piece of information.

According to the telegram intercepted by the intelligence agency of the Nanjing Garrison, there is an important official of the Nanjing Garrison in Lishui County, and the call sign of this official is very high in the Nanjing Garrison system.

If you can make good use of this high-ranking official of the Nanjing Garrison who is trapped in Lishui County, you can completely force the Nanjing Garrison to send troops to rescue, then the 114th Division can completely concentrate its forces to annihilate one or several rescue troops, this kind of credit is much greater than the capture of Lishui County alone, if you can be lucky, maybe the person trapped in the city will be the commander of the Nanjing Garrison, whether it is Luo Zhuoying or Liu Xing, it is a pie that fell from the sky!

Shigeharu Suematsu has a final decision in his heart, and he wants to "surround the point and send reinforcements"!
