Chapter Eighty-Seven: Matsui Ishone's Poisonous Scheme
4.87 Matsui Ishone's poison scheme
Not only did Luo Zhuoying's 11th Division begin to participate in the battle in Baoshan, but the 51st Division, which had been on standby behind Shen Laoer's 302nd Brigade on Luodian's side, also began to intervene strongly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The arrival of the two teachers and students completely changed the balance of power between the 11th Division and the 99th Army, the devil's attack began to stagnate, the 99th Army began to change from passive defense to offensive and defensive, and the 11th Division gradually turned to passive defense.
The Japanese army's combat effectiveness is indeed tenacious, and when they want to hold a place, the Chinese army really has no good way to deal with them.
Didn't you see that the remnants of the Japanese marines at Huishan Wharf were surrounded and fought for more than half a month without being annihilated?
The vitality of the Japanese soldiers is comparable to that of cockroaches!
However, as more and more Chinese troops poured into Baoshan County, the Japanese troops in the county began to be squeezed out little by little.
The 11th Division made meritorious contributions, and launched 4 or 5 charges in a row within three hours, and the elite combat effectiveness of the Central Army such as the 18th Army was still considerable, and the lost half of the county town was quickly regained by 50%, and the Japanese army now controls less than a quarter of the area.
Wang Shankui's 302nd Brigade did not join the counterattack, and he hurried to gather his troops and restore the formation.
The melee that lasted for half a day scattered the grassroots officers and soldiers of the 302nd Brigade everywhere, and the officers could not find the soldiers, and the soldiers could not find the officers.
In Baoshan County, which was bombed into ruins, there were officers of the 99th Army everywhere shouting to find their subordinates:
"1 battalion of 4 companies! Meet here for 4 companies! ā
"2 battalions and 1 company! I'm your company commander! ā
The establishment of the 302 Brigade has been chaotic to the extreme, and if it is not sorted out, it will have to fight on its own.
The company platoon commanders gradually gathered the soldiers scattered in the city, and from time to time they encountered some small groups of Japanese troops who were also scattered, and now the large army of devils has retreated, and these devils who stayed in the hinterland of the 302 Brigade have become a tool for the officers and soldiers of 99 to vent their anger.
Small battles of annihilation were staged in all corners, and when the last lone devil fell, Wang Shankui found that he had gained a lot.
At least more than 300 devils were surrounded and eliminated by the 302 Brigade in such a daze, and Wang Shankui's subordinates even had time to unhurriedly transfer mountain artillery to shoot directly at the houses held by the Japanese army, and the casualty ratio of the battle was close to 10:1.
It was a pleasure to hunt!
The 11th Division was still attacking the 10th Brigade, and Chen Cixiu knew that now was a good opportunity for the 11th Division to pick peaches, and his old unit, the 18th Army, had not yet achieved any decent results in Songhu.
Today, it can be regarded as he picked up soft persimmons.
Vice Chan calls Luo Zhuoying almost every half hour, and he is looking forward to the good news that his right-hand man will bring him.
Luo Zhuoying had long understood the thoughts of his old boss, but with the retreat and contraction of the Japanese army and the large number of casualties among the officers and soldiers of the 11th Division, there was a stalemate between the two sides.
Luo Zhuoying knew that if such a situation could not be broken in a short period of time, then the results of the 11th Division would fly away immediately.
A big victory in peach picking can turn into a brutal war of attrition.
Such an ending is obviously something that neither Luo Zhuoying nor Vice Minister Chen wants to see.
If you want the 11th Division's offensive momentum to continue, you have to increase your troops!
Luo Zhuoying set his sights on the 98th Division stationed in Yuepu.
In order to make the 11th Division "complete its merits" as soon as possible, a regiment of the 98th Division was transferred to Baoshan.
This was the second time in three days that the regiment had made a long march between Baoshan and Wolpo.
This regiment, which supported the 11th Division, was originally a unit stationed in Baoshan, and they are now back to where they were ordered to leave three days ago.
The 11th Division added a weight to the scale, but it was too light to change the balance of the scale.
Victory seemed to be within reach, but this opportunity to kick the door was delayed, and the news that the 11th Division's attack was blocked again made Luo Zhuoying unable to sit still.
Vice Minister Chen's "good show" can't be played in his own hands, this will affect his career.
So the 2 divisions, which had only 2 regiments left, again received an order to "draw blood".
The commander of the 98th Division worriedly told Luo Zhuoying that the Japanese 22nd Brigade near Yupu had only launched a few small-scale exploratory attacks so far, and the purpose was still unclear.
The 98th Division was originally a crippled division in the urban area of Shanghai, and they had already transferred a regiment to Baoshan, if they continued to draw blood, once the 22nd Brigade was attacked in Yuepu, the result would be unimaginable.
Luo Zhuoying laughed after hearing this, he shook his head again and again and said that the commander of the 98th Division did not understand military affairs, the Japanese army was obviously bluffing in Yuepu, and the Japanese army in Baoshan had been reinforced many times, where did these reinforcements come from?
Yuepu is so close to Baoshan, I'm afraid that the 98th Brigade of the 22nd Division, which has always been feared, would have all joined the Baoshan battlefield, otherwise the Japanese army in Baoshan would have been so strong? Even such elites as the 99th Army and the 11th Division have been fighting for a long time?
Luo Zhuoying's inference sounds reasonable, but these are just Commander Luo's personal guesses, and there is no actual evidence to support them, and the commander of the 98th Division will continue to argue, Luo Zhuoying suddenly said in a cold tone:
"I know that your 98th Division was originally a subordinate of General Zhang, a member of the 9th Army. In our 15th Army, it's just a short stay! It seems that the order from our side is not easy to use in front of your 98th Division? ā
This is already a curse! The sweat of the commander of the 98th Division flowed down with a thud!
Luo Zhuoying is an important person in the "Civil Engineering Department", such a person is something that his small division commander can't afford to offend no matter what, so the commander of the 98th Division closed his eyes and sent a regiment to Baoshan again.
The Chinese defenders of Yuepu once again returned to the level of one regiment, and the deployment of Chinese and Japanese forces in Pudong once again returned to the situation of three days ago......
***************************************************
"Your Excellency, Commander! As you expected, the 98th Division of the Chinese Army in Yuepu once again sent reinforcements to Baoshan, and the 22nd Brigade can be launched! ā
Matsui Ishone narrowed his eyes happily, and he was very satisfied to see that the eyes of the chief of staff, Major General Mamoru Iizawa, were full of admiration for himself.
"Iizawa-kun, our Commander Huang has helped us a lot! As soon as Yuepu is broken, the headquarters of the 9th Group Army of the Chinese Army in Dachang is close at hand, and I am now very interested in visiting General Zhang, a tiger general of China! ā
Chief of Staff Mamoru Iizawa couldn't keep up with Matsui Ishone's leapfrogging thinking, and he thought for a while before answering:
"Yes! As soon as our troops are directed at the big field, the Chinese army in Pudong will begin to be mobilized by us, and General Zhang's life and the Nanjing army cannot afford to lose, and the 15th Group Army will definitely mobilize troops to rescue! As long as the Chinese leave the trenches, their army is a flock of sheep in front of our Imperial Japanese Army! It's just a pity that the battle situation in Baoshan is not very favorable to us, if the heads of Huang Haoran and General Zhang can be placed in front of the commander at the same time, what a pleasant thing it would be! ā
"Baoshan? It's not unobtainable...... As long as the 99th Army embarks on the road of reinforcement, the 3rd Division will let Huang Haoran sleep forever! Without Huang Haoran's 99th Army, Baoshan is a piece of meat on the chopping board! ā
Matsui Ishone's words surprised Chief of Staff Iizawa again, and he subconsciously asked, completely unaware of his rudeness.
"Your Excellency the Commander means .......?"
Matsui Ishine glanced at Chief of Staff Iizawa and said proudly:
"Iizawa-kun! I have long put the 3rd Division on standby, the target of the 22nd Brigade is Yuepu and Dachang, and the prey of the 3rd Division is Huang Haoran's 99th Army! Huang Haoran will never be able to reach the big field! Forever! ā
"But there are so many troops in the 15th Army? Will Huang Haoran's 99th Army definitely appear? Chief of Staff Iizawa still has some questions.
Matsui Ishone began to smile again, and he said lightly:
"Iizawa-kun, you don't know the Shina people, their officialdom is very interesting! Although General Zhang and Chen Cixiu of the 15th Group Army are friendly troops and colleagues, the relationship between them is not as pleasant as between you and me! Dumping, that's a terrible word! Huang Haoran and General Zhang have a personal relationship, and only the 99th Army in the 99th Army is not Chen Cixiu's 'own people', so I can conclude that the reinforcements sent by the 15th Group Army to Dachang will definitely be Huang Haoran's 99th Army! ā
Chief of Staff Iizawa finally came to his senses, and he applauded Matsui Ishone and praised repeatedly:
"Your Excellency, Commander, what a clever calculation! So the previous confrontation between the head of the Yamamuro Sect Martial Master and Huang Haoran in the newspaper was also arranged by the commander, right? ā
"Not really! I just took advantage of the provocation of the head of the Yamamuro sect and asked the people from the bamboo agency to give these materials to the newspapers in the West. Sure enough, Yamamuro Sotake's provocation caused a fierce backlash from Huang Haoran! The 99th Army in the battle of Baoshan was very devoted, in order to complete the oath of sticking to Baoshan for 3 days, I think Huang Haoran will definitely leave his main force in Baoshan, and the reinforcements of Dachang will not exceed one brigade! It was his persistence that harmed him! ā
Mamoru Iizawa also sighed with his commander, in fact, he didn't pay so much attention to Huang Haoran, but Matsui Shigen was so enjoying and devoting himself at the moment, Matsuzawa Mamoru didn't want to sweep away the commander's interest.
"Tell Yoshikatsu Kuroiwa! The 22 Brigade is ready to launch! ā
Matsui Ishine spoke!
Chief of Staff Iizawa turned around to give the battle order, and Matsui Ishine walked to the porthole and looked at the dark sea, and said to himself:
"What the Japanese lack is wisdom, and what the Shina lack is courage, what a pity! A young military genius with both wisdom and courage is about to fall......"
***************************************************
Wang Shankui wandered around in Baoshan County, and his three regiment commanders contacted him one after another, and the scattered troops were also gathered.
The combat effectiveness of the 302 Brigade has gradually begun to recover.
Xie Wendong's temporary 12th Brigade is not as optimistic as the 302nd Brigade, after all, the officers and men of the temporary 12th Brigade are not as elite and strong as the old troops of the 99th Division like the 302nd Brigade, and Xie Wendong can't make up a battalion with the rest of his hands now.
At the time of the 12th Brigade, there were more than 3,000 people in the hands of "Sanli", and a new battalion was added after the interruption of the blockade battle, and now the remaining troops are less than 600 when they are fully fought.
That is to say, the 12th Brigade has completely changed its blood, and the traces of the "Sanli" period have disappeared without a trace.
The loss of Wang Shankui's 302 Brigade was around 2,000 people, and although the previous melee was tragic, most of the brave men of the 99th Division who had experienced devil training survived, and Huang Haoran let them sweat on the training ground in vain!
If another unit encounters such a scene during the day, it is estimated that the number can be directly canceled now, and how can it be restored in a short period of time like the 302nd Brigade.
Even Luo Zhuoying had the same idea about the 99th Army, so he didn't let the 99th Army reinforce Yuepu, because in his heart, the 302nd Brigade and the 12th Brigade no longer existed.
The 99th Army once again surprised everyone!
After Fan Jie contacted Wang Shankui, he kept asking about the losses of the troops, and Wang Shankui felt that Fan Jie was a crow's mouth, and every time he asked a question, it made people unhappy.
Huang Haoran was very happy after getting the news that Wang Shankui was still alive, after all, Wang Shankui was the first friend Huang Haoran met after coming to the Republic of China, if Wang Shankui was martyred in Baoshan because of his strange intuition, Huang Haoran would definitely regret it.
Wang Shankui said on the radio that his life was too big to die.
Huang Haoran was a little speechless for a while.
In the end, Huang Haoran decided to make Wang Shankui happy, and he asked the people from the military department to send Wang Shankui a big flag, and the content on the flag made Wang Shankui straightforward.
Wang Shankui and his guards must find the highest place to erect this big flag, but the county town of Baoshan, which has been fighting fiercely for days, has long been a pile of rubble, where to find any taller buildings?
Eventually, Wang Shankui found a restaurant building that was about to collapse, and the dilapidated building stood out among the rubble around it.
The big flag sent by Huang Haoran was erected, Wang Shankui found a place where he could see the city pass and the big flag at the same time, he wanted to appreciate the reaction of the little devil!
When the night breeze blows, a huge flag waving in the wind!
************************************************
Yuepu, suddenly under the fierce attack of the 22 brigade!
Luo Zhuoying almost fell off the chair when she got the news!
Yuepu is one of the key points of Pudong's defense, and what is even more terrible is that General Zhang's general headquarters is in Dachang, not far from Yuepu, where there are a large number of military supplies and 1 artillery position.
Although General Zhang and the supreme authorities had a bit of a holiday a few days ago, General Zhang's influence in the army is still huge, and the supreme authorities will not watch General Zhang being surrounded, let alone let General Zhang die.
If the responsibility is held accountable after the war, Luo Zhuoying, who single-handedly emptied the 98th Division, may not be able to escape from it!
General Zhang is a general after all, if something happens to him, Vice Minister Chen may not be able to protect him Luo Zhuoying!
Commander Luo was completely panicked now!
Wolpo! Be sure to hold Wolpo!
Luo Zhuoying ordered the 61st, 56th, and 57th Divisions that had retreated from Wusong to immediately reinforce Yuepu, and the information about Yuepu's urgency was immediately sent to General Zhang's headquarters!
Now I can only pray that the 61st Division, the 56th Division, and the 57th Division, the three units that were crippled by the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army in Wusong, will have a great explosion of character and play extraordinarily!
The gods in the sky must not have heard Luo Zhuoying's prayers, the thousands of remnants of the 61st Division and the flank defense of the 22nd Brigade of the Japanese Army collapsed after taking a look, and the 56th Division that followed up was rushed by the rout of the 61st Division, and they were also scattered!
The 57th Division tried hard, but unfortunately its strength was limited, and they were also repelled by the fierce 22nd Brigade, and Luo Zhuoying's three-way reinforcements were wiped out in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, the 98th Division in Yuepu was General Zhang's old subordinate, and the officers and soldiers knew that General Zhang was behind them, and they burst out with strong combat effectiveness, but as time went by, the blood of the 98th Division was about to run dry......
Yuepu is in danger!
************************************************
Anda 23 Zuo led 1 brigade of devils to retreat in Baoshan Chengguan, and now it was their turn to rely on the root of the city wall to defend, the 11th Division rushed up in the dark night like a chicken blood, and hundreds of Japanese troops under the captain of Anda 23rd Wing were a little tired of parrying.
Because it was night, the Japanese Air Force was not able to come to the aid of the battle, and there was no air threat, and the 11th Division moved greatly.
Fortunately, the thick stones at the base of the city wall treated both sides equally, and now they also provided cover for the Japanese army, and the 11th Division did not have much artillery, so although their attacks were very powerful, they actually had little effect.
After the 23rd Zo of Anda repelled several charges from the 11th Division, he found that the momentum of the Chinese began to weaken.
It seems that as long as you can hold the city pass tonight, as soon as the reinforcements arrive after dawn, the current decline can be reversed immediately!
This is something that Anda Dasa firmly believes!
The interval between the fighting was a brief lull, and the soldiers on both sides walked out of the trenches with white flags to clean up the corpses of their own people.
When the day was about to dawn, the captain of Yongjin Zuobi rushed to Chengguan with more than 300 Japanese troops, and the captain of Yongjin Zuobi also lost his 22nd Wing, and several of his captains with their respective troops had retreated to the outside of Baoshan City, and Yongjin Zuobi was separated from the captain and the troops, and later he saw that the exchange of fire around Chengguan was very fierce, and he knew that there should be a large force of the Japanese army here, so he broke in from the weak point behind the 11th Division.
When Captain Yongjin Zuobi found that the Japanese army in Chengguan was struggling to survive under the siege of the 11th Division, he turned around and wanted to slip away, but the 11th Division had already filled the gap that he had rushed out when he entered, and Captain Yongjin Zuobi could only fight with the 23rd Commander of Anda.
Captain Yongjin Zuo's bowels are all repentant!
