6.37 Gu Shoufu and Qiu Qingquan

Central China Dispatch Army, Headquarters of the 10th Army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After receiving the order of Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, commander of the 10th Army, Gu Shoufu's 6th Division rushed to Fengxiangling as fast as possible, and Fengxiangling was only a dozen kilometers away from the Tianshengqiao area and Lishui County, and the fate of the 114th Division's destruction had to be changed by Gu Shoufu.

The 6th Division, also known as the Kumamoto Division, was one of the 17 standing divisions of the Japanese Army before the outbreak of World War II. Its predecessor was Kumamoto Towndai, which was established in 1873, and during the Southwest War, it was surrounded by the forces of the Satsuma clan led by Saigo Takamori in Kumamoto Castle, and it withstood Saigo's tidal attack with a strong will. In 1888, with the reform of the Japanese Army, Zhentai was renamed the Division, and Kumamoto Zhentai became the 6th Division.

Later, the 6th Division insisted on recruiting residents from southern Kyushu, such as Kumamoto, Oita, Miyazaki, and Kagoshima, to replenish the troops. The Japanese residents of Minami-Kyushu have a strong impression of "black skin, bright red blood". Minami-Kyushu, like Choshu, was the driving force behind the Meiji Restoration, and the 6th Division, which recruited troops from here, continued the tradition of the people of Minami-Kyushu as enthusiastic, courageous, and aggressive.

Whether it was the Sino-Japanese War or the Russo-Japanese War, the 6th Division always played the vanguard. In the First Sino-Japanese War, the 6th Division under the leadership of Hei Mu Weizhen landed on the Jiaodong Peninsula and took Weihaiwei in one fell swoop. In the Russo-Japanese War, they were attached to the 2nd Army in Obaogong and participated in the Battle of Shahe and Mukden. From 1923 to 1925, the 6th Division was stationed in Manchuria, and after returning to Japan for several years, it sent troops to Shandong for the second time in March 1928 and created the "Jinan Massacre" that made the Chinese people gnash their teeth.

After the "918" incident, the 6th Division was reorganized at the end of 1932 to participate in the Rehe operation, defeating Shang Zhen's 32nd Army at Lengkou on the Great Wall. With the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident in 37, the 6th Division moved to Yongding River, Baoding and Shijiazhuang. After that, it was assigned to the 10th Army under the command of Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke and landed in Hangzhou Bay.

It can be said that the 6th Division committed unspeakable crimes on Chinese soil, and now this powerful force in the Japanese Army, under the command of Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, has set its sights on the Nanjing Garrison!

Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke knew that in the eyes of Tani Toshio, it was obvious that the temptation to capture Nanjing, the capital of China, was greater than the rescue of the 114th Division......

Based on the concern of the 6th Division, Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke gave Taniya Toshio a tight spell in advance.

"The 6th Division must have the sole purpose of providing operational guidance to the 114th Division, and must not change the scope of operations without authorization......

It is not difficult to see from this telegram sent by Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke to Tani Shoo that Yanagawa Heisuke was apprehensive about releasing the tiger of the 6th Division, and the reason why Matsui Ishone, commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, placed Tani's troops in the "Left Route Army" sequence of peripheral operations from the beginning was that he was worried that Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke would not be able to control the 6th Division well.

Nanjing is not Jinan, 1937 is not 1928, if the 6th Division does something out of the ordinary in Nanjing, it will evolve into an international problem!

This is something that neither Matsui Ishone nor Yanagawa Heisuke wants to see!

It's a pity that the plan can't catch up with the changes, and the direction of Gu Shoufu's 6th Division finally points to Nanjing!

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke slammed a heavy punch on the desk in front of him! The heavy solid wood desk made a dull noise......

If it weren't for the desperate situation of Shigeharu Suematsu's 114th Division, Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke would rather wait for Lieutenant General Ushijima Sadao's 18th Division to come up!

I hope Gu Shoufu can perform better!

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

Fengxiangling, 11th Brigade Regiment 13th Wing Wing Headquarters.

The commander of the 13th Infantry Wing, Okamoto Hoyuki Osa, and the commander of the 11th Infantry Brigade, Major General Sakai Tokutaro, were both standing as straight as javelins, and opposite them sat a lieutenant general officer, who was Tani Toshio!

The son of a farmer in Okayama Prefecture graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School in 1903, and was promoted to a lieutenant general step by step......

Of course, in the eyes of Tani Shofu, those opposition clamoring for "civilization" are nothing more than some cowards and the scum of the empire, and only iron-blooded soldiers like him are the hope of the Great Japanese Empire!

Gu Shoufu did not plan to attack Wuhu according to the order of Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, the commander of the 10th Army, and his 6th Division was getting farther and farther away on the predetermined attack route, and before receiving the new combat order issued by the 10th Army, Gu Shoufu's troops had already moved to the vicinity of Gaochun, and Gu Shoufu's mind was already clear!

Now with the order of Commander Yanagawa Heisuke, the 6th Division's advance to Nanjing has become justified, and Gu Shoufujue's "opportunity" has come!

So Tani Shouo ran to the headquarters of the 13th Wing, which was at the forefront of the 6th Division, and the appearance of Tani Shoufu did not surprise the Japanese officers and soldiers of the 13th Wing, in the "Kumamoto Division", this brave style is their tradition!

The Japanese troops of the 6th Division are a bunch of war maniacs, a bunch of killing machines! Gu Shoufu, the "perverted maniac", was the division commander of their "Kumamoto Division" arranged by Amaterasu! Only Gu Shoufu is worthy of the 6th Division!

Major General Okamoto Hoyuki Osa and Major General Tokutaro Sakai are waiting for His Excellency the commander of their division to give the order to attack! The thousands of "beast soldiers" of the 13th Wing can't stand it anymore!

They need to kill! Blood is needed!

Okamoto Hoyuki Osa and Major General Tokutaro Sakai began to breathe thicker and thicker, and their eyes turned a strange red......

Gu Shoufu likes to see his subordinates behave so "heroically", he doesn't plan to satisfy his "bloodthirsty" subordinates immediately, and he has to boil up their temperament again, so that they can burst out with more "inhuman" combat effectiveness!

So Tani continued to unhurriedly wipe his sword with a high-grade whetstone, just like there was no Okamoto Hoyuki Daisa and Major General Sakai Tokutaro on the other side.

The 13th Wing was very quiet in the team headquarters, and the sound of the whetstone rubbing against the blade was so clear!

It went on like this for several minutes before Tani handed over his knife to the guards, he touched his mustache, and then a fierce light appeared from behind the thick glasses, and he pointed to Major General Tokutaro Sakai, the commander of the 11th Brigade, and then asked sharply:

"How many troops? How much time did it take to hit the Tianshengqiao area!? ”

The commander of the Sakai Tokutaro Brigade stood upright, and then shouted loudly: "I only need one wing!" Defeat the Chinese at the Tiansheng Bridge in two hours! ”

"What about you!? Osa Okamoto!! ”

"I only need a wing, too! An hour and a half is enough!! ”

Captain Okamoto Hoyuki immediately increased the code, and anger appeared in the eyes of the commander of the Sakai Tokutaro Brigade who spoke first!

Captain Okamoto Hoyuki is like he didn't see his immediate boss, he is in the 6th Division, this division can tolerate all kinds of evil generals, even if you offend the commander as a subordinate, as long as you have made meritorious achievements, Your Excellency the Commander of the Tani Shou Division will quickly forget your disrespect!

In the 6th Division, merit is everything!

Officers who have just been assigned to the 6th Division from the military academy to shine the shoes of veterans are the norm here, and even when the meal is served, only the bravest people can start, and the others can do it!

Therefore, Captain Okamoto Hoyuki did not hesitate to snatch this opportunity to make meritorious service in front of the commander of the Sakai Tokutaro Brigade!

Will it fail ......? The people of the 6th Division never thought so!

Tani Toshio once again succeeded in sowing the seeds of competition among his subordinates, and he divided the troops of Okamoto Hoyuyuki Osa and Major General Sakai Tokutaro into two ways, Okamoto Hoyuyuki Osa's 13th Wing went straight to Tiansheng Bridge, and Major General Sakai Tokutaro led the 47th Infantry Wing straight to Lishui!

The goal of the 6th Cavalry Wing was to disperse the forces of the Chinese troops attacking the headquarters of the 114th Division, and to buy some time for the commander of the 114th Division, Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsue......

Gu Shoufu led the main force of the 6th Division to slowly press, and Gu Shoufu would not use up his chips until he figured out how many troops the Nanjing Garrison had invested in the 114th Division.

Shigeharu Suematsu, an idiot, actually lost his mind and spilled the rest of the army because a wing was surrounded, even a student who had just graduated from a non-commissioned officer school should not make such a low-level mistake! Gu Shoufu felt that the 114th Division had dug a grave for himself!

Gu Shoufu had a high opinion of his new opponent, and he felt that the commander of the Nanjing garrison was very level! To be able to catch the mistakes made by the 114th Division in a very short period of time requires a high degree of command art, and such judgment is terrifying! Gu Shoufu thinks that the commander of the Nanjing Garrison will definitely not be one of the few people selected by the intelligence agency of the Central China Dispatch Army, Luo Zhuoying and Tang Shengzhi fought such a battle? This kind of proactive spirit is something they don't have!

Only Huang Haoran, the newly emerged "General of China", has such courage and means! Look at everything that the Nanjing Garrison did on the 114th Division, it seems familiar! Gu Shoufu thinks that this is similar to the 99th Army's battle against the 11th Division!

The same large-scale detour! The same is to concentrate superior forces to attack! It seems that Huang Haoran was not seriously injured and died as the propaganda organ of the Central China Dispatch Army said! This "victorious general of China", who brought countless pains to the Central China Dispatch Army, has crawled back from hell again!

Gu Shoufu felt that he had finally met an opponent with enough weight!

The 6th Division is the "Kumamoto Division" in the Japanese Army, and Huang Haoran's 99th Army is the "trump card unit" in the Chinese Army.

Who is the real "trump card"?!!

Gu Shoufu felt his body shaking unconsciously!

It's been a long time since I've been so excited! This feeling! It's amazing!!

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

Shen Zhuang, Teaching Corps Command.

Qiu Qingquan personally commanded the first brigade of the teaching corps to go into battle, originally the brigade commander of the first brigade was Major General Zhou Zhenqiang, the deputy chief of the teaching corps, Qiu Qingquan also always thought that after Gui Yongqing left, the post of the chief captain of the teaching corps would be taken over by Major General Zhou Zhenqiang, but he didn't expect Huang Haoran to understand him Qiu Qingquan in front of the highest authorities, so Qiu Qingquan, the colonel, actually became the chief captain of the teaching corps!

You must know that the three brigade commanders of the teaching corps are all major generals! Let the colonel command the major general, Qiu Qingquan's promotion is legendary!

Even Qiu Qingquan doesn't know when Huang Haoran took a fancy to him, he and Huang Haoran are also related to each other, Huang Haoran is now the commander of the Nanjing City Defense Command, and he really has no friendship with Qiu Qingquan.

Fortunately, Qiu Qingquan and several brigade commanders rolled all the way out of the old teaching corps, so Zhou Zhenqiang, the old boss, did not embarrass Qiu Qingquan at all......

However, Qiu Qingquan always felt that he still had some shortcomings, and it was not until the teaching corps was transferred to Lishui to participate in the war that Qiu Qingquan realized that only by making combat exploits as soon as possible could the officers and men of the teaching corps be completely convinced of him.

Qiu Qingquan studied at the Berlin Army University in Germany in 1934, he was arrogant and had a bold combat command style, nicknamed "Qiu Maniac", and his style of fighting was extremely spicy.

What better weapon to use against cavalry in the plains than a chariot?

The strong intervention of the teaching corps from behind the 18th Cavalry Brigade made Amagi Kanshichiro Shaozo's courage disappear by half, the cavalry team was armored, and the 18th Cavalry Brigade had no chance of winning at all, and Amagi Kanshichiro Shaozo had the idea of fleeing since he found out that the Chinese army that had come up from behind him had an armored unit.

What Amagi Kanshiro Shaozo didn't expect was that the 10th Division, which had been fighting and retreating, suddenly turned around and strangled with the 18th Cavalry Brigade, although the 18th Cavalry Brigade took a big advantage in this battle, but they also lost the best opportunity to escape!

The cavalry lost the space of maneuver and the war horse became an ornament, and the devils of the 18th Brigade of the cavalry could only let their well-trained war horses lie on the ground as sandbag fortifications, because they were fighting on horses, so the subordinates of Amagi Kanshichiro Shaozo were very lacking in heavy weapons, and the devil cavalry who dismounted and fought in the face of the overwhelming attacks of the first brigade lost very quickly, and a large number of war horses became dead horses, and now their masters no longer have to be distracted by them, these meat sandbags have completely become fortifications.

In order to attract reinforcements from the 114th Division, Qiu Qingquan controlled the intensity and frequency of the troops' attacks, he needed to let the devils save the troops worthy of the 114th Division to send troops for help, this was also the task that Huang Haoran personally assigned to him, when the 18th Cavalry Brigade was almost killed and wounded, the reinforcements of the 114th Division finally exchanged fire with the rear guard troops of the 1st Brigade!

What made Qiu Qingquan dissatisfied was that the 114th Division sent two incomplete infantry brigades and some baggage soldiers, one of these two infantry brigades belonged to the 102nd Wing, and the other belonged to the 66th Wing, due to the very mixed composition of the troops, the commander of the 114th Division, Moji Suematsu, in order to facilitate coordination and command, appointed Major General Obaof, commander of the 128th Infantry Brigade, as the supreme commander of the support army, and this news shocked Qiu Qingquan's spirit!

Major General of Japan! It's also a high-end product! As long as this Obauf can be killed, the teaching team will be able to account for the past.....

Qiu Qingquan ordered the commander of the second regiment, Colonel Xie Chengrui, to immediately lead his troops to start a detour behind the Japanese army, and he wanted to leave Obaofu behind!

As for the 18th Cavalry Brigade of Amagi Kanshiro Shaozuo, it instantly became a "chicken rib" in Qiu Qingquan's eyes, and the rest of the devil soldiers will be handed over to the armored battalion and the pre-10th division!

The tank battalion, which had been restraining the desire to attack, received the order to attack, although these tanks were some light armor, but there was no ambiguity in crushing the devils, and soon, the tracks of the tanks were full of minced meat and bone slag, and it seemed that the repairmen who cleaned the tracks were guilty!

The remnants of the Japanese cavalry completely collapsed in front of these chariots, and the devils got up from the ground and climbed onto the surviving horses, and then launched a decisive charge towards the encirclement of the Nanjing garrison, which was their last battle!

Even being beaten into a sieve by the machine guns of the Nanjing garrison is better than being crushed to death by the chariot of the teaching corps, the screams of the Japanese soldiers who were caught under the tracks of the chariot in dodge are terrifying, a flesh and blood body turned into mud in front of the steel, there are devils who like to eat canned beef and can't help but vomit out when they look at the corpses that have been crushed by the Chinese chariots, these puddles of things are too similar to their favorite food, this is simply a kind of mental destruction!

The last fight of the Japanese cavalry in front of the Nanjing garrison roaring Makqin turned into a bubble, as the encirclement became tighter and tighter, the density of machine guns of the Nanjing garrison on the defensive front reached the point of perversion, almost every Japanese cavalry was hit by more than double digit bullets, sometimes two or three machine guns of the Nanjing garrison were aimed at the same target, the result was that this miserable Japanese cavalry was torn into rags by machine gun bullets, and the flesh and blood were blurred and unrecognizable!

As the gunfire in Shenzhuang completely stopped, the main force of the 10th Pre-10th Division also began to detour, and now the main battlefield of the 1st Brigade and the 10th Pre-10th Division has shifted to the area of Shuangdun Mountain, and under the leadership of the commander of the Obaov Brigade, the two brigades of the 66th Wing and the 102nd Wing have exerted great pressure on the 2nd Brigade!

Qiu Qingquan began to feel that the strength was insufficient, although the 10th Pre-10th Division and the 1st Teaching Brigade had an advantage in numbers, but the actual situation was far less optimistic than the data on paper, the 10th Pre-10th Division could no longer exert much combat effectiveness, and there were many recruits in the 1st Brigade, and they could not swallow the thousands of devils in any case.

On the contrary, the Shuangdunshan defense line was still in danger of being broken through by the 114th Division at any time, and Qiu Qingquan, who was bent on taking down Obaofu, a Japanese major general, finally sent a telegram to the Nanjing City Defense Headquarters requesting reinforcements!

In Nanjing, Huang Haoran also encountered new troubles!

Half of Hu Zongnan's 1st Army had crossed the Yangtze River and opened from Pukou to Xiaguan, but the commander of the 1st Army was not Hu Zongnan......
