8.41 Reluctant ending

After the commander of the Kenji Division of Dohihara finished saying everything he was going to say, Sano Tadayoshi Osa let out a long breath! He really thought that His Excellency the division commander was going to have a life and death duel with Huang Haoran in Lanfeng just now! After doing it for a long time, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara is just looking for himself to go down the stairs!

The 27th Brigade came to the rescue of the trapped troops in Lanfeng and Sanyi Village? That's a nice thing to say! Among the two wings under the 27th Brigade, the 2nd Infantry Wing of Ishiguro Sadazo Daisa has been left behind by Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara as a "pawn" in the rear of the Chinese army, and now I am afraid that it has been wiped out by Huang Haoran! The other infantry 59th Wing is also a remnant army after a series of fierce battles! I'm afraid the remaining strength is less than a brigade! Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara sent the 27th Brigade to carry out the rescue, in fact, to give up those "chess pieces"!

But now you can't break his intentions in front of Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara! Chief of Staff Tadayoshi Sano knows that Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara is a very face-loving person, and once he annoys him, maybe Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara will let him be the commander of the rescue force!

"I think it's just as His Excellency the division commander wants! With a whole infantry brigade to carry out the rescue, I can't find anything wrong with the front army headquarters! ”

Chief of Staff Tadashi Sano's words are extremely "artistic"! He only emphasized the size of the rescue force, but did not mention the fact that the 27th Brigade was extremely weak, and skillfully avoided the possibility of a conflict with Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the sleekness of Chief of Staff Tadashi Sanono admired the Japanese officers on the side!

Soon, this new order from Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara was executed! Major General Takashi Sakai led the 28th Brigade and the troops directly under the division to quickly turn around and pounce on Guide non-stop! The 27th Brigade, which had been left behind, slowly began to implement their rescue plan.

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

Two hours after the 18th Cavalry Wing was destroyed, Huang Haoran arrived at Luowang Station.

Cao Fulin took the 27th Division all the way from Liuyuankou to Lanfeng, and after successfully completing the task, he retreated to Luowang Station to rest, and learned that Huang Haoran was about to arrive at the front line of Lanfeng, Cao Fulin naturally positioned his 27th Division as Huang Haoran's "Royal Forest Army", fully took over all the defense of Luowang Station, and sent engineers to expand the command post of Luowang Station, so that it could accommodate more than 100 staff officers and civilian officers brought by Huang Haoran.

After Huang Haoran saw Cao Fulin, he first asked a few words about the losses of the 27th Division and the Guard Regiment, and then hurriedly asked about the latest developments of the 14th Division, and when he heard the news that the main force of the Tufeiyuan Division had turned again not long ago, Huang Haoran immediately ordered Xue Yue to lead the 27th Army to launch a pursuit! The 1st Army, the 71st Army, and Li Hanxun's 64th Army on the front line of Chenliukou and Liuyuankou were responsible for clearing the remnants of the Japanese army in their respective defense areas. Then Huang Haoran sent a telegram to Yu Jishi and Huang Jie, who were stationed on the front line of Shangqiu, and ordered Yu and Huang to lead the 74th Army and the 8th Army to resolutely prevent the 14th Division and the 16th Division from converging!

After a battle of wits with Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, Huang Haoran finally regained his chance to win. On the night when Huang Haoran arrived at Luowang Station, Song Xilian's 71st Army captured Lanfeng City, and more than 700 remnants of the Japanese army fled to Sanyi Village. The Longhai Road, which the highest authorities in Wuhan had been thinking about, was opened by Huang Haoran. The Military Commission took the opportunity to withdraw all the military columns blocked in Shangqiu to Zhengzhou.

To the north of Lanfeng, the 64th commanded by Li Hansoul also made greater progress. After repeated battles with the Japanese army, the 64th Army finally took Dingzhai, and then transferred troops to cooperate with Song Xilian's 71st Army to attack Quxingji. The remnants of the 27th Brigade of the Japanese Army, which had already tasted the strength of the Chinese army, did not dare to fight again, and took the initiative to abandon Quxingji and retreat to Sanyi Village to shrink into a group of stubborn resistance!

At this point, all the "chess pieces" left behind by Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara in the rear of the Chinese army were forced to a dead end by Huang Haoran, and the remnants of the 27th Brigade only controlled the large village of Sanyi Village, which was surrounded by the Chinese army, and was in danger of being completely annihilated.

The commander of the 2nd Wing in Sanyi Village, Ishiguro Sadazo Dasa, had no way to retreat at this point, he could only lead his troops to resist desperately, and at the same time desperately called his division commander Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara on the radio to ask for combat guidance!

Seeing that the battle north of Lanfeng had reached the final stage, Huang Haoran did not dare to slack off in the slightest. He ordered Songxi and Li Hanxun's troops to storm the villages occupied by the 27th Brigade. The commander of the 2nd Wing, Ishiguro Sadazo Daisa, was also red-eyed at this time, and personally carried his sword to the forefront to supervise the battle. Often, as soon as the Chinese army entered the city, Ishiguro Sadazo Daisa immediately organized chariots and cavalry to launch a counterattack. After the Chinese army did not retreat, it took a short break to recuperate and attack again, and the 2nd Wing launched a counterattack again!

The bloody battle lasted until noon the next day, when the 64th Army and the 71st Army finally paid the price of more than 3,000 officers and soldiers under the commander Ji Hongru and Liu Fengshui, who were killed and wounded, and annihilated the 2nd Wing of Ishiguro Sadazo.

At this point, there was no more fighting north of Lanfeng, and the central battlefield of the battle was shifted from the narrow area from Lanfeng to the bank of the Yellow River to between Lanfeng and Shangqiu.

After swallowing the "chess pieces" of Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, Huang Haoran immediately ordered the 71st Army, the 1st Army, and Cao Fulin's 27th Army to follow Xue Yue's 27th Army and launch a pursuit of the 14th Division! As long as Huang Jie's 8th Army stationed in Guide is willing to make great sacrifices and put the 14th Division west of Guide, Huang Haoran is very likely to annihilate the Tufeiyuan Division!

However, after all, the Chinese army is a very complex collective, and in addition to the uneven combat effectiveness, there are still a lot of suspicions among friendly forces, and there are often some inexplicable "coordination mistakes."

In fact, the combat effectiveness of the two armies in a battle is not determined by the battle of the main force, and the combat effectiveness of the cooperating troops is often more critical! This is similar to the short board theory in the "barrel theory", once the short board leaks, the barrel will leak! In the same way, if something goes wrong with the troops responsible for cooperating in the campaign, it will directly lead to the final defeat of the entire campaign!

Lieutenant General Kenji Dophihara seemed to be destined for death, and just when Huang Haoran mobilized his troops to deliver the final blow to Tufeiyuan, the 8th Army, the descendant of the highest authority, suddenly withdrew to the southwest without authorization! As a result, the door to Germany is wide open!

Before the 8th Army retreated, Huang Jie didn't even reveal the slightest rumor to Yu Jishi! As a result, the 74th Army, which had been in a fierce battle with the 5th Division, almost suddenly discovered that the Japanese army appeared on their flank on the position of the 8th Army! I was caught off guard by the devil! Forced to retreat!

After the fall of Guide, the 16th Division and the 5th Division rushed from the direction of Xuzhou like a vicious tiger and went straight to Lanfeng! The Chinese army under Huang Haoran may fall into the internal and external attacks of the Japanese army at any time!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the highest authorities in Wuhan immediately sent a telegram to Cheng Qian: "The main force of the Japanese army has broken through to Guide (Shangqiu), and our army is in danger of being encircled. The order was given to immediately abandon the pursuit of the Tufeiyuan Division and the entire army to the west of Pyonghanseong. ”

After receiving the order from Cheng Qian, Huang Haoran threw the pamphlet with "The Law of Soldiers Sitting in a Row" on the cover to the ground, and the wind blew, and the title page of the pamphlet was opened, only to see that it was written in vermilion letters: "First, if the squad leader retreats with the whole class, the squad leader will be killed."

Second, if the platoon commander retreats with the whole platoon, the platoon commander will be killed.

3. If the company commander retreats with the whole company, the company commander will be killed.

Fourth, if the battalion commander retreats with the whole battalion, the battalion commander will be killed.

5. If the regiment commander retreats with the whole regiment, the regiment commander will be killed.

6. If the division commander retreats with the whole division, the division commander will be killed.

7. The same is true of the commander.

8. If the commander does not retreat, but all the officers and men retreat, so that the commander is killed, the commander of the division to which the commander belongs shall be killed.

9. If the division commander does not retreat, but all the officers and men of the division retreat, so that the division commander is killed, the regimental commander to which the division commander belongs shall be killed.

10. If the regimental commander does not retreat, but all the officers and men of the regiment retreat, so that the regimental commander is killed, the battalion commander to which the regiment commander belongs shall be killed.

11. If the battalion commander does not retreat, but all the officers and men of the battalion retreat, and the battalion commander is killed, the company commander to which the battalion commander belongs shall be killed.

12. If the company commander does not retreat, but all the officers and men of the company retreat, so that the company commander is killed, the platoon commander to which the company commander belongs shall be killed.

13. If the platoon commander does not retreat, but the whole platoon retreats, so that the platoon leader dies, the squad leader to which the platoon leader belongs is killed.

14. If the squad leader does not retreat, but the whole class retreats, so that the squad leader dies, the whole squad will be killed. ”

It's a pity! There is no such strict military law, but none of them have been implemented! Huang Haoran finally couldn't help but scolded loudly: "If you had killed Gui Yongqing, this bastard!" Huang Jie, how could he be so bold! I look at this "Military Joint Sitting Method", which is just an ornament! ”

The Battle of Lanfeng ended on June 10, 1938, and the Chinese army won a medium-sized victory under the command of Huang Haoran, with a total of more than 17,000 casualties in the Tufeiyuan Division, which, of course, was reported by Huang Haoran to Cheng Qian.

Cheng Qian is worthy of being a veteran of officialdom, he added a sum to the results reported by Huang Haoran, and then reported to the highest authorities: Lanfeng will destroy more than 27,000 enemies;

Who knew that the supreme authorities still felt that the results of the battle were too small, so they added a bar to the two words, and then handed them over to the Ministry of Military Affairs to announce to the world: "The Chinese army has severely damaged the main force of the Japanese army's Tufeiyuan Division in Lanfeng. The morale of the officers and men was boosted, and they took advantage of the victory to attack, resulting in a great victory. More than 37,000 Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, and we captured more than 20,000 rifles, 931 light and heavy machine guns, 107 infantry guns, 50 chariots, and more than 50 heavy artillery, and captured countless enemies. The Japanese Tohihara Division has basically been annihilated by us. ”

This cowhide is a little too big! You must know that the Tufeiyuan Division is only more than 20,000 people when it is full, even if you add the two artillery brigades that went to Lanfeng with the 14th Division, that is, 38,900 men and horses, by Cheng Qian and the two big strokes of the highest authorities, Huang Haoran's heavy damage to the 14th Division suddenly became the total annihilation of the 14th Division!

On June 11, Huang Haoran stepped down as deputy commander of the 1st Theater of Operations and went to Wuhan to serve as the director of the "General Office for the Soviet Union" and dealt with the Soviet ambassador!
