Chapter 181
9.181
Yang Sen's military headquarters was located on Susongcheng East Street, which was less than two kilometers from the city wall that was under heavy artillery fire. Since the 27th Division's attack on Susong County www.biquge.info begun, Yang Sen rode along the crater-ridden road to the front line at night. In the early morning of October 8, Yang Sen, together with the deputy commander, brought shovels and walked out of the bunker to tidy up the fortifications near the headquarters with the guards. Suddenly, the phone rang, the staff officer on duty came to report, and Huang Haoran sent him a telegram.
"Oh! It was my son-in-law who telegraphed me... Hahaha! It's good to raise a daughter, half an aunt, I raised so many girls, just kidnapping other people's sons made a fortune!"
Yang Sen dared to ridicule Huang Haoran like this, but the officers under him didn't dare! Who made the family Huang Haoran's father-in-law prepare? Nature is privileged! Some Sichuan army generals who also have no married daughters in their families can't help but think about marriage when they see Yang Sen so happy!
Even if you can't find a good son-in-law like Huang Haoran, it's not bad to marry a long-term meal ticket! Now that the government's actions in Sichuan are getting bigger and bigger, in the future, Sichuan's internal affairs may not be up to the Sichuan army to have the final say!
"Yang Gong has a good eye! This son-in-law is worth the trick! ”
After taking the telegram and reading it, Yang Sen was shocked! It turned out that Huang Haoran told Yang Sen in a telegram that according to the Soviets' aircraft reconnaissance report, a large number of Japanese troops appeared in Wangjiang Pavilion, and it was not surprising that the Sichuan troops guarding Wangjiang Pavilion should have all been martyred.
"Someone! Send a report to Yang Hanyu! Let him organize a counteroffensive of the troops! Be sure to get the Wangjiang Pavilion back! I, who is an old man, can't lose face in front of my son-in-law! ”
Wangjiang Pavilion is located at the southern end of Hexi Mountain, standing in the pavilion can look at the boat in the Yangtze River, hence the name, in order to hold here, a battalion of the 133rd Division of Youyou fought fiercely with the devil for more than three hours, all fell on the position. Now it has become a charred, blood-clotted land. The iconic pavilion had long since been destroyed by artillery fire and turned into a pile of masonry.
The Japanese squadron that took Wangjiang Pavilion is now consolidating its position and replenishing it, hoping to firmly control the area. To the west of Wangjiang Pavilion was the defense area of the 802nd Regiment of the 133rd Division, so Yang Sen gave the task to the 802nd Regiment.
Suddenly it rained heavily that morning, pouring down and gathering dark clouds, turning the scorched land into a muddy mass. Yang Sen called Yang Yuecai, the commander of the 802nd Regiment, and decided to make a surprise attack in the rain at night. Yang Yuecai was full of confidence and decided to use his best tactics, and the two battalions were divided into two waves of turn-overs and charges, alternately covering. After the tactical decision was made, Yang Yue took his battalion and company commander to reconnoiter the enemy situation and inspect the attack route in the heavy rain at dusk. The soldiers sharpened their broadswords and wiped their weapons. All of them put on a new pair of straw sandals, the soles of the straw shoes are particularly rough, this thing is not easy to slip when the road is slippery in rainy days, and it works.
In the afternoon, two battalions of the 802nd Regiment successively entered the attack position. Yang Sen also asked Xie Wendong for artillery support. After a burst of artillery fire, without waiting for the enemy's artillery fire to return fire, Yang Yuecai, the commander of the 802nd Regiment, personally led a battalion to rush towards the enemy position like a gust of wind in the heavy rain. At this time, the Japanese soldiers on the Wangjiang Pavilion came to their senses, and the light and heavy machine guns roared together, and the tongues of fire from the muzzles of the guns spewed back and forth in the darkness, pouring out bursts of bullets. The 1st Battalion, which was suppressed by the Japanese, could only change its purpose, quickly seize the terrain, organize fire suppression, and use machine guns for grenade attacks to cover the advance of the 2nd Battalion.
In Susong City, Yang Sen held a telescope and looked anxiously at the direction of Hexi Mountain, and he could only judge the progress of the battlefield by relying on the distant sound of guns and fires that flickered from time to time. This battle at noon is his Yang Sen's appearance in Huang Haoran and Huang Haoran! If he, the future father-in-law, doesn't show some skills, Yang Wenna will definitely be bullied in the future!
The Chinese and Japanese soldiers who fought fiercely on the Wangjiang Pavilion probably would never have dreamed that Yang Sen fought such a decisive battle just for his daughter's position in Huang Haoran's heart in the future!
At 15 o'clock in the afternoon, the messenger sent a message: the 802nd Regiment had regained the Wangjiangting position and was consolidating. Yang Sen's face suddenly relaxed......
"How? Son-in-law, your father-in-law still has two brushes, right? ”
Looking at Yang Sen's callback, Huang Haoran's face turned green! Transferring Yang Sen to Susong now seems to be the right move! I didn't expect that there would be such a "side effect"!
In order to appease Yang Sen's emotions and let the 27th Army fight in Susong with peace of mind, Huang Haoran could only say a few soft words in the call, and did not raise any objections to Yang Sen's behavior of relying on the old and selling the old. As a result, Yang Sen in Susong City became even more proud!
"Tell Yang Yuecai that when this battle is over, I will help him ask my son-in-law for credit! Protect his future as a brigade commander! ”
Look at Yang Sen's tone, it looks like the 25th Army is his team!
The Japanese didn't comfort Janssen for long. Only half an hour later, a few observation balloons rose into the sky again. This time, the Japanese army not only bombed the Wangjiangting position with heavy artillery fire and planes in turn, but also blocked the reinforcement channel of the Sichuan army with artillery fire and bombs without interruption.
After the artillery bombardment, the 27th Division threw in a large number of infantry and charged repeatedly. The Wangjiang Pavilion position was full of firelight, flying sand and stones. Reinforcements could not go up, and the 802nd Regiment could only rely on the troops that rushed to Wangjiang Pavilion to hold on. However, due to the ferocity of the per capita artillery fire, the front line was soon broken, and the soldiers on both sides fought together, and the battle line was staggered.
The soldiers of the Sichuan army jumped out of the trench and waved their broadswords, raised their bayonets to meet the enemy. As soon as the Japanese retreated, they immediately looked for a place to hide from shells and bombs. Sometimes a shell comes down and hits a pile of people, and immediately several or even a dozen soldiers are blown to pieces.
Because the retreat route was blocked, the wounded could not be sent at all, so they could only be left to lie on the ground. The battle lasted until dark, and at 20 o'clock in the evening, the Japanese army completely retreated, Yang Yue ran to Wangjiang Pavilion with reinforcements to count, and found that there were only more than 120 people left standing among the more than 1,000 people he invested, and only one battalion commander and four platoon commanders were left among the officers, and they cried on the spot.
After a bloody day, the Susong defenders finally ushered in their own night.
Devils don't like to launch night attacks, and the 27th Division is naturally no exception, so after nightfall, Xie Wendong's 27th Army and Yang Sen's 27th Army can take a breath......
*********************************************************************
The Japanese intelligence agencies once again showed their efficiency, and less than half an hour after the 27th Division stopped attacking, the commander of the Honma Masaharu Division received information about the defenders of Sumatsu.
"According to reliable sources, the Chinese troops stationed in Susong are all the 27th Army under the 25th Group Army and the 27th Army of the Yang Sen Department of the Sichuan Army, with a strength of about 50,000 people, a small number of artillery, and no combat vehicles and heavy artillery......."
I don't know if these situations are okay, but after reading it, the head of the Honma Masaharu Division, who was already unhappy because the attack did not go well, stretched his face longer!
During the day, the commander of the Honma Masaharu Division received a report from the front-line combat units that they had encountered a group of opponents wearing straw sandals. At that time, the commander of the Honma Masaharu Division thought that it was a deliberate arrangement of China's elite Huang Haoran's troops, and it must be Huang Haoran's elite troops guarding the mountain.
In order to prove that his inference was not wrong, the commander of the Honma Masaharu Division also specially asked people to bring a few pairs of straw sandals down from the mountain and send them to the division headquarters for the guards to wear on the live demonstration. The commander of the Honma Masaharu Division arrogantly told his subordinates that this "special straw sandal" should be a "secret weapon" specially made by Huang Haoran for mountain warfare, and after the officers who returned from the front line confirmed on the spot that the Chinese soldiers wearing these straw shoes were indeed more stable in the mud than the Japanese soldiers wearing leather shoes, the commander of the Honma Masaharu Division even ordered the combat troops on the mountains to throw away their leather shoes and use this "special equipment" on the feet of the dead Chinese soldiers!
What a great irony in retrospect!
His opponent in the mountains was actually the Sichuan army!
Such a commanding heights that can threaten Susong County, Huang Haoran actually did not send his elite troops to guard it! And he didn't send the Central Army, and he didn't send the warlike Guangdong troops, but he chose the Sichuan Army!
Is this member of the Admiral despising himself?
Since the "77" Incident, although the Sichuan army has also had heroic deeds such as injecting division commander Wang Mingzhang into the bloody battle of Tengxian County and heroically martyrdom, on the whole, the inferior equipment and weak combat effectiveness are still the general impression of the Japanese generals on the Sichuan army. In particular, army division commanders like Masaharu Honma were dismissive of the Sichuan army and contemptuously called them "straw shoe soldiers."
Has the 27th Division been reduced to the point where even the "straw sandal soldiers" cannot be defeated? Masaharu Honma was startled by the thought that suddenly popped into his own head!
No! It's impossible! The Sichuan Army, but it is an absolute miscellaneous card in the Chinese army! I heard that most of these troops are based on the security regiment and are improvised patchwork. The officers and men at the upper and lower levels of the unit did not know each other, and they did not even conduct a collective training! You must know that the combat effectiveness of the Shina Security Regiment Masatharu Honma has seen it, and in his opinion, those so-called security regiments are not as good as the patrols in Japan!!
"Attack! Attack overnight! If it is really the Yang Sen Department of the Sichuan Army on the mountain, I believe that we can achieve victory even if it is a night battle! ”
The strong sense of shame drove the commander of the Honma Masaharu Division mad, and after sending another infantry brigade to the 2nd Infantry Wing stationed in the tun, the flames of war ignited again!
Knowing that there were no elite units of the Chinese army on the mountain, this greatly boosted the morale of the Japanese troops of the 2nd Infantry Wing! Coupled with the sense of shame inspired by the officers, a large number of Japanese soldiers rushed up from the mountainside like ants, basically completely ignoring the firepower of the Yang Sen Department of the Sichuan Army!
Under the onslaught of the Japanese army, the 133rd Division was forced to abandon several small hills, shrink its forces, and concentrate on the mountains near Fozuo Ridge, choosing a risk to hold it. The terrain here is mostly more than 100 meters of broken rock, only the west side has a gentle slope, and the terrain is relatively open. Yang Hanyu judged that the Japanese army would make the main attack from this section, so he ordered the other two regiments of the 133rd Division to defend the positions on the left and right flanks of the Buddha Ridge, and he personally led the 802nd Regiment and the 801st Regiment to guard the Buddha Ridge.
*****************************************************************************
Tianjia Town, Huang Haoran still regrets transferring Yang Sen to Shoususong. Although this old guy and the Sichuan Army really fought well, Huang Haoran couldn't stand the fact that he always regarded himself as Huang Haoran's father-in-law.
As Yang Sen shouted for a long time, the officers under Huang Haoran also began to be a little confused, and they were all careful when sending telegrams to Yang Sen, for fear of offending the future old Taishan of the headquarters.
Later, even Wang Huanzhi and Fan Jie, who were beside Huang Haoran, joked with Huang Haoran about it. It seems that Huang Haoran's identity as Yang Sen's son-in-law is about to be confirmed! Can Huang Haoran not be in a hurry?
The matter of "Madame" pulling the red line for Huang Haoran and Yang Wenna has not yet been officially announced, and the women in the family and Yu Damei have no idea! If the word reaches those two, God knows what will happen!
"This Janssen! I think he meant it! Let this rumor go first, in order to make me annoyed! At that time, if I don't want to marry Yang Wenna, if this old boy comes to say: 'Your father-in-law has put all the old books in Susong for you...' I am really speechless! Fansuke! You tell the truth! When I recommended Yang Sen to Susong, did you take his benefits! ”
As the saying goes, "angry and obsessed", Huang Haoran is almost in this state now! Fan Jie was yelled at by Huang Haoran, and immediately jumped a few meters away, and then replied with a smile: "Wronged!" Total seat! I didn't know Jansendre would be so thick-skinned... And at that time, letting the 27th Army go to Susong was indeed the best way! If it were to move by another unit, maybe the 27th Division would have run away! Look at General Yang, for you to really play with the little devil, the battle report at night has just arrived, how long will it take this time? The 27th Army has lost more than 4,000 troops! I'm afraid that he will fight for the commission, and he has never worked so hard......"
Although Fan Jie's explanation is reasonable, Huang Haoran still suspects that he has fallen into the trap set by Fan Jie, because Fan Jie's smile is very thief at the moment, like an old fox who has succeeded in stealing chickens!
"His father really didn't give him the wrong name! Sure enough, the 'cheap' is very much! ”
Huang Haoran despised Fan Jie in his heart, and then turned his head and asked Wang Huanzhi: "How is the progress on Li Pinxian's side?" Now that Huangmei and Susong have been tied up, the rest depends on Li Pinxian's waist blow! ”
"The 27th Division still has too much territory in its hands now, and the Central China Dispatch Army has made several airdrops to Honma Masaharu, so his ammunition is also very sufficient, Li Pinxian is indeed working hard, but if you want to push the 27th Division into a desperate situation in the short term, I'm afraid it's not possible! Boss, do you want Wang Shankui and Shen Lao Er to move the two armies and help Li Pinxian......"
Wang Huanzhi had been staying by the side to watch the play before, and he didn't expect Huang Haoran to suddenly throw the topic to him, but fortunately, he, the deputy commander, was also very concerned about the battle situation, and he didn't just ask about logistics all day long, so his answer was quite regular. also received a positive response from Huang Haoran.
"You're right, my requirements for Li Pinxian are indeed higher! Today's 27th Division and the exhausted 6th Division that are tormented by the epidemic cannot be compared, and Li Pinxian's group has suffered some losses in Huangmei. However, now is not the time for the 99th Army and the 100th Army to attack, and fight with the 6th Division, both of which are the main forces, and the losses are more serious than Li Pinxian... You can't continuously overdraw your combat power, and you can only be more powerful by retracting your fist and hitting it again! If the 27th Division survives for a few more days, that is when Shen Lao Er and Wang Shankui will play! ”
Huang Haoran's words made Fan Jie and Wang Huanzhi unanimously agree, there are indeed many generals in the army of the Wuhan government who like to preserve their strength, but Huang Haoran is by no means that kind of person! From Songhu to Wuhan, didn't Huang Haoran put his basic troops on the most difficult battlefield? Even if it is to avoid the war for the time being like today, it is to accumulate strength! When the battle needs to be put into action, Huang Haoran never thinks of the question of "whose unit is this, and it should be placed in such a position".
The four words "the world is for the public" left by the former prime minister seem to be prepared for the evaluation of Huang Hao.
At this time, Xu Zilong came over from a distance and reported to Huang Haoran: "General seat! The commander of the Xue Corps in the 9th theater called you ......"
Xue Boling? Shouldn't he be concentrating on dealing with the 106th Division in Wanjialing now? How could he call Huang Haoran?
"Okay, I got it! Someone to pick up the phone......"
Huang Haoran said as he walked behind his desk and sat down, then waited.
"Yes! I'll go right away! ”
About a minute after Xu Zilong left, the phone on Huang Haoran's desk began to ring.
"Hey! Is it Brother Boling? I'm Huang Haoran! ”
Huang Haoran's opening remarks made Xue Yue on the other end of the phone relax a lot, when there was silence in the phone receiver, Xue Yue kept thinking about how he should speak to Huang Haoran, after all, at this moment, Huang Haoran was also encircling and annihilating the 27th Division, and it was also the time when he needed to use troops.
"Brother Youchen! In front of you, a victorious general, I won't say polite words! Can you lend me an army or two? Brother, I really don't have a way, otherwise I would never have extended this hand to your brother Youchen! ”
Xue Boling actually came to borrow troops from him! Huang Haoran was really surprised at this moment! In history, Xue Yue didn't seem to have rescued friendly troops against the 106th Division? Now the 6th Division has been annihilated by itself, the 27th Division is also surrounded between Susong and Huangmei, and even the very fierce Botian Detachment has been dragged in Madao and Hukou! Where else can Okamura Ninji come up with how many troops to reinforce the 106th Division?
With no threat from the Japanese army around, Xue Yue should be more relaxed than in history, but who would have thought that he would actually come to him for reinforcements!
Huang Haoran couldn't help but be a little suspicious of his own ears! Could it be that I heard it wrong?
"Brother Boling, you gathered the Songpu Division in Wanjialing with the crowd of the 12th Division, you should have enough troops, how could it be ......?"
Hearing Huang Haoran's rhetorical question, Xue Yue knew that he had to tell the truth. So he told Huang Haoran about the trouble he had in Wanjialing.
On October 7, Xue Yue completed the adjustment and deployment and began to launch a full-front attack on the 106th Division of Wanjialing.
Xue Yue has been fighting for many years and has a habit. The harder and more thrilling the battle, the more energetic and flexible his mind became. Trapping the Songpu Division, Xue Yue knew that this was just the beginning, and the tough battle was behind. Moreover, his 100,000-strong army is an outer line of operations in the inner line, and if he eats a reinforced division in Songura, Okamura Ninji and Shunroku Hata will not give him too much time. Before the reinforcements from the Central China Army arrived, he had to deal with the 106th Division in Songpu, otherwise he would not succeed in fighting the tiger and would suffer from it!
Lan Feng's lesson is close at hand.....
But who would have thought that the resistance of the 106th Division was actually very fierce! Perhaps because of the experience of the 6th Division, the 106th Division immediately chose to shrink and wait for reinforcements after finding that there was no hope of breaking through, compared with the previous breakthrough operation, choosing to stick to this way of fighting can greatly reduce the casualties of the 106th Division, so after attacking for half a day, Xue Yue suddenly found that his troops were a little insufficient!
Where to move the troops? Wuhan is far away and it is difficult to quench the thirst of the near. The garrison troops near De'an are also immobile, they need to hold back the 101st Division and the troops that Okamura Ninji desperately drew from the Hatian detachment, and the pressure is also very great, all of them cannot be moved. In a hurry, Xue Yue only had the idea of the 66th Army on Lushan.
Ye Zhao's 66th Army was specially designated by the highest authorities to be placed on Lushan Mountain, and was intended to remain behind enemy lines to fight guerrilla attacks after the loss of northern Jiangxi. Transferring the 66th Army down the mountain to fight, wouldn't that be groundbreaking at the head of the highest authorities? The people around him were worried about Xue Yue, and suggested that he consult Wuhan before speaking.
Xue Yue is certainly not stupid. Before the start of the war, the 74th Army and another division had been left behind from the supreme authorities, and now they asked Wuhan to transfer the 66th Army down the mountain, and the possibility of obtaining permission was too small. If he is transferred after being refused, is it not a blatant rebellion against the commander-in-chief? In any case, Xue Yue of the 66th Army must be used, and it is better to do it again than to go to Wuhan to touch the nails. After making up his mind, Xue Yue instructed: "Transfer it first." We can ask Wuhan for instructions while adjusting! ”
Although Xue Yue said it happily, he could ask whether the new force of the 66th Army could be transferred. Xue Yue didn't have any bottom in his heart, after all, he didn't have the upper sword of the Military Commission in his hand. In these years, who is willing to take the initiative to die for you without an order? It's a thankless task! Once defeated, the troops will have to bear the charge of "disobedience", and it will be difficult to turn over forever.
In a word, Xue Yue wants to transfer the 66th Army down the mountain, but it is really difficult!
It is based on this worry that Xue Yue called Huang Haoran after sending a telegram to Ye Zhao of the 66th Army, in Xue Yue's opinion, he is now Han Xin's more troops, the better, whether it is Huang Haoran's troops or the 66th Army on Lushan, it is good for either side to come.
Hearing this, Huang Haoran finally understood, it turned out that it was because of two things that caused Xue Yue's current predicament.
The first thing was that Huang Haoran transferred the 4th Army from the 9th Theater, which was supposed to appear in the Battle of Wanjialing, but now it was replaced by a third-rate local division;
The second thing is that Huang Haoran annihilated the 6th Division between Huangmei and Guangji, and the fate of Inaba Shiro made the commander of the 106th Division, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, extremely conservative, and chose the most secure to wait for reinforcements, and the power of more than 10,000 Japanese troops to shrink up and carry to death should not be underestimated, so Xue Yue fought so hard.
When Huang Haoran was thinking, Xue Yue on the other end of the phone felt extremely tormented! He was very worried that Huang Haoran would refuse his request, which was not only a matter of self-esteem, but also about the outcome of Wanjialing.
How did you think about it for so long? Is it really a refusal to agree?
Xue Yue felt that his heart was about to jump out! Lan Feng's defeat is already a big loss of his reputation, if the 106th Division is released in Wanjialing, I am afraid that the highest authorities will never let him command the large corps to fight in the future! Isn't the shame even more distant?
Finally, Huang Haoran's voice sounded, Xue Yue listened to this passage with nervousness and uneasiness, the following is what Huang Haoran said:
"Don't worry! Brother Boling, I will immediately let the 4th Army of the beating move to De'an, and it will definitely be too late for the shock to reach Wanjialing, you draw a army from the defenders of De'an to move first, and then let the 4th Army fill in the blanks, this is the fastest! Also, Ye Zhao is your fellow Cantonese countryman, and he is reluctant to fight guerrillas on Lushan, he will come down! By the way, I also have an independent brigade on Lushan, which is a direct unit of the 25th Group Army, although it is a little damaged, but it can still be used, I will let them go down the mountain with Ye Zhao to help you......"
Now the four words "overjoyed" are not enough to describe Xue Yue's mood at the moment! Borrowing two armies from Huang Haoran before was just Xue Yue asking for a price in the sky, and he originally just hoped that Huang Haoran could pick out two or three miscellaneous masters from between his fingers to help him! Who would have thought that Huang Haoran would be such a strong force as the 4th Army as soon as he made a move, and the basic troops of a brigade were also added!
"Brother Youchen! Thank you so much! "This voice of Brother Youchen Xue Yue is absolutely sincere, and the favor is really in place for this part! Xue Yue is already a little worried about how he will repay this favor in the future!
"Brother Boling, you're welcome! It's rare that you and I have the same temper and like to do risky things, and maybe in the near future, I will also have something to ask you for help with, and it may not be ........"
Of course Huang Haoran wouldn't mind letting Xue Yue owe him a big favor, this officialdom, at this time, every minute and every second is variable, one more friend is always better than one more enemy.
"Thank you for your kindness! To tell you the truth, Brother Youchen, the commission has given me a warrant, asking me to completely annihilate the Songpu Division before 24 o'clock on October 9, and I see that there is not much time left, if I can't borrow reinforcements from you, I really want to cry without tears! ”
Xue Yue actually connected to the highest authority's secret order to say this kind of thing to Huang Haoran, which also shows how grateful Xue Yue is to Huang Haoran at the moment! The friendship between the two is officially concluded!
"Brother Boling! You will definitely be able to do great things in this battle! Believe me, you better hang up the phone, I guess Ye Zhao's telegram that he is willing to go down the mountain should be coming soon......"
Huang Haoran's last sentence should be regarded as a leak of heaven, but fortunately, it is something that is about to happen, and Xue Yue personally passed through the wind, even if Huang Haoran "expected" Xue Yue should not care.
"Good! Good! Borrow the auspicious words of the minister's brother! If this battle is won, there will be a credit to Brother Youchen! ”
After Xue Yue said this, he hung up the phone, he should have been in a hurry to arrange the transfer of troops, Huang Haoran smiled with the microphone in his hand, and then hung up the phone as well.
"Boss, at this juncture, you actually lent troops to Xue Boling?"
When Huang Haoran called just now, Wang Huanzhi was not able to speak out. Now hanging up the phone, Wang Huanzhi immediately stood up to express his dissatisfaction.
'What? Can't figure it out? Huang Haoran did not answer Wang Huanzhi's question directly, but pointed at Fan Jie with his hand and said with a smile: "Look, Chief of Staff Fan can figure it out!" ”
After speaking, Huang Haoran stood up and walked to the sand table.
The anxious Wang Huanzhi could only turn the finger at Fan Jie, and he kept asking Fan Jie: "What the hell is going on?" Isn't Li Pinxian short of troops? It was just when the 4th Army was about to be used, but the eldest brother gave this strong army to Xue Yue! ”
Fan Jie knew that Wang Huanzhi was not good at military strategy, so he was not in a hurry, but slowly gave Wang Huanzhi a life: "My Deputy Commander Wang, don't worry, in your opinion, Wanjialing and Susong are two independent battlefields, and no one is in the way of anyone." But in the eyes of the general seat, these two battlefields are connected and interactive! If Xue Yue can't take the 106th Division, Okamura Ningji will definitely have to increase troops on the Nanxun Line, and the 9th Theater will have to constantly transfer troops from the northern front to block it! When the time comes, the banks of the Yangtze River will be empty, and what will the Japanese army do if they take advantage of the emptiness? Our headquarters is the commander of the Wuhan Garrison Command! Jiang Fang is a matter of accusation! When the time comes, I am afraid that I can only let the 27th Division go east and return to the army to protect Wuhan......"
That is, Wang Huanzhi, Fan Jie will explain so thoroughly, if he changes to someone else, he will not bother to pay attention to it!
"Oh! I see......"
Now, the doubts in Wang Huan's heart have finally been solved...........
Xue Yue's corps headquarters, not long after Xue Yue ended the call with Huang Haoran, Ye Zhao's telegram really arrived! In the telegram, Ye Zhao promised to go down the mountain to fight the 106th Division, and things went surprisingly well!
It turned out that just as Huang Haoran said, Ye Zhao, a native of Xue Yue's Guangdong, was very dissatisfied with the supreme authorities' decision to leave the 66th Army behind enemy lines to fight guerrillas. The 66th Army was an all-encompassing Cantonese soldier, and it was not at all suitable for fighting guerrilla warfare in the Hubei-Jiangxi region. Moreover, it has been demoted from a field army to a guerrilla unit, and its status has been reduced to a lot, and the language is not spoken, and the environment is not familiar, and none of the officers and men want to stay behind the enemy lines and drill into the mountains and forests. So Xue Yue, the governor of Guangdong, greeted him; The 66th Army, from the commander to the soldiers, all responded with cheers, and their eagerness to respond to the battle even surpassed the troops in Xue Yue's own hands.
On the Military Commission's side, it also adopted a tacit attitude towards Xue Yue's first cut and then play, although it did not express clear support, but it did not stop it. Xue Yue originally didn't plan to get anything nice from the Military Commission, as long as he could transfer the 66th Army.
After all the arrangements stopped, the happy Xue Yue suddenly discovered that the development of everything was actually "expected" by Huang Haoran! After thinking about it carefully, Xue Yue was sweating!
Huang Haoran is really wise and brave! This unique vision alone has surpassed me too much!
Xue Yue originally thought that by defeating the 106th Division, he would have the opportunity to sit on an equal footing with Huang Haoran, but now it seems that the gap between him and Huang Haoran's fingertips is probably as big as the gap in the number of Japanese divisions and regiments they each annihilated!
Huang Haoran's score is 3, and it is likely to become 4 soon! As for Xue Yue, it's just 1, and he hasn't finished writing yet......
This is the starting point...! That's the height...!
*******************************************************************************
During the day on October 9, the Miyazaki Tomio Wing of the 27th Division, under the cover of aviation and artillery, attacked the main position of Foza Ridge five times in a row! The number of shells fired throughout the day exceeded a third of the total stock of the artillery wing of the 27th Division!
But the Buddha Ridge was still firmly held in the hands of Yang Sen's troops! It seems so far away!
Although Yang Sen's troops could not defend the city, they were very good at guarding the mountain. These Sichuan soldiers, who were born and raised in the mountainous areas and have long understood the habits of the mountains, have not landed in their hearts when they were fighting in the field on flat land. Especially in the face of the absolute superiority of the Japanese army's artillery fire, it is easy to be frightened and shaken. However, as soon as they entered the mountains, they immediately turned into tigers! Confidence was instantly restored.
With the experience of the Battle of Songhu, Yang Sen's troops had long been accustomed to the Japanese army's first artillery fire and then charge, and when the Japanese army was preparing for artillery fire, Yang Sen's troops would shrink back to the dead end of the anticline or stone rock and wait for the battle, and as soon as the artillery fire was extended, Yang Sen's troops jumped out of the anti-artillery position, rushed to the position, and set up grenades and rifles without hurrying, until the panting Japanese troops climbed to forty or fifty meters in front of the formation, and then began to muster up their strength and throw grenades violently.
The grenades used by Yang Sen's troops were very special, they were all horsetail grenades produced locally in Sichuan, and they flew into the enemy group like crows with their tails as soon as they struck. The Japanese could only rush forward regardless of the dead and wounded.
Wait until the Japanese army "Ah! Yikes! Roaring and rushing to the front of the battle, the officers and soldiers of the Yang Sen Department who were on straw shoes would shout: "Kill his turtle son!" Then they jumped out of the fortifications and rushed into the middle of the Japanese army to start a white-knuckle fight.
Although the Sichuan army does not have modern weapons, but it is very good at cold weapons, most of them are good at assassination, on the battlefield can often see the Sichuan soldiers stabbing the nearest Japanese gun, and then stabbing into the ribs with a backhand, and then, with a flick of the wrist to pull out the bayonet, without looking at the fallen Japanese soldiers, immediately turned to the next target, three times and two times and pierced its chest. Seeing that the Japanese could not gain the upper hand in the white-knuckle battle, they could only retreat some distance and shoot at the officers and men of Janssen's department, and then slowly pressed.
Bombing, charging, retreating... Bombing again, charging again, retreating again, the Japanese attacked repeatedly in one day until noon. Yang Seng took advantage of the temporary ceasefire of the Japanese army to take the opportunity to withdraw the 133rd Division that had been disabled on the mountain and replaced it with Yang Hanzhong's 134th Division.
In the evening of the same day, the 27th Division again attacked the Buddha Ridge. Bullets and rains flew up and down the mountain, and the whole mountain was shrouded in thick gunsmoke. In addition, it was night, and the battle situation on the mountain was completely unclear from the headquarters of the 134th Division.
The telephone line had long been blown up, and none of the communications troops sent out in a row could come back, and all of them were killed on the mountainside by the Japanese blockade artillery fire. Yang Hanzhong, commander of the 134th Division, could only rely on experience to listen intently to the sound to judge whether the position was still in his hands.
When enemy planes and artillery bombarded indiscriminately, Yang Hanzhong was able to relax his heart, but when the Sichuan-made grenades rang out, his heart hung in his throat. Years of battlefield experience told Yang Hanzhong that when the Sichuan army used grenades, it meant that the two sides were at most dozens of meters apart at this time!
What worries Yang Hanzhong the most is when the gunfire is sparse and the grenades no longer explode, which means that the two sides have been mixed together and are fighting to the death.
The battle lasted until midnight, and half of the positions in the hands of the 134th Division were lost, and the situation was extremely dangerous! Yang Hanzhong had to ask Yang Sen urgently:
"Commander! The casualties among the officers and men were so great that they were almost unable to hold on! ”
Yang Sen had no choice at this time, and it was too late to ask Xie Wendong for reinforcements, and after the Japanese army found that Yang Sen had replaced himself with a new unit, they used artillery fire to block the road from Susong to Fozuoling, and the reinforcements could not pass through at all! Therefore, Yang Sen could only give the 134th Division a death order, telling Yang Hanzhong to defend the Buddha Ridge to the death, and he was never allowed to take a step back.
In the evening, Yang Hanzhong sent an urgent telegram for the third time, saying that the reserves had been exhausted and that the Buddha Ridge could be lost at any time. Yang Sentie stood up with a blushing face, wanting to teach Yang Hanzhong a few more words, but thinking that most of the subordinates who had followed him for many years had been lost in Susong, his heart softened and he collapsed in the chair exhausted.
"Tell Yang Hanzhong to let him do his best, it's best to last until the night......"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the headquarters of the 27th Army......
After receiving the telegram, Yang Hanzhong looked up to the sky and sighed, and shouted: "Huang Haoran! The commander has already thrown all his old books out for you! I hope you can be kind to Miss in the future! Then he said to the personnel in the division headquarters: "You have made great contributions to the country and the nation, washed away the shame of the Sichuan army's 'collapse of the wind,' and restored the reputation of the Sichuan army for being able to fight." The devil is now 'declining again, exhausted in three'... I order, all those who can fight to go to the front line! From now on, there are no division commanders or regiment commanders on this mountain, all of them are fucking soldiers! Resist me! Hold out until the night, and the commander will definitely send us reinforcements! ”
In this way, the 134th Division took out their last essence blood, and at this time, the offensive troops invested by the 27th Division had already become the end of the crossbow!
After the 134th Division bet on their last piece of chips, the devil crossed the ......
Under a boulder halfway up the mountain, the commander of the 1st Wing of the Chinese Garrison Infantry, Hasegawa Kiosa, was lying on his back on a stretcher, with thick straw under him, and the military blanket on his body had several bullet holes and a few blood stains, and Hasegawa Kiosa's right foot was wrapped with bandages. The smoke of gunpowder from the battlefield not far away drifted with the wind, choking Hasegawa Kiosa and coughing incessantly, and each cough touched the wound on his right foot, sending out bursts of sharp pain.
At noon today, the first wing of the Chinese garrison infantry had just occupied several positions that were desperately counterattacked by the Chinese army, and Hasegawa Kiosa could only personally lead the personnel of the wing headquarters to the front line to supervise the battle, but unexpectedly, a stray bullet hit his right foot, and the sole of his foot was punched a hole. When he woke up from his stupor, he had been carried here by his subordinates.
Buddha Seat Ridge has become a sad place for the 27th Division......
The situation is clear, if we can't attack again, the offensive and defensive situation will be reversed.
"I command!" Hasegawa Kiosa knew that this might be his last order: "Each major team will organize a brave team to capture all important locations today, and launch a decisive attack in half an hour!" ”
Originally, Hasegawa Kiosa also wanted to use "special bombs" to break up the combat effectiveness of the Chinese defenders, but because it was located in a mountainous area and the mountain wind was fierce, the chemical troops could not guarantee where the poison gas would go, so Hasegawa Kiosa could only give up.
You can only rely on "meat bullets"!
"Tell the artillerymen that as soon as the Brave Brigade rushes into the positions of the Chinese Army, they will immediately open fire! Don't hesitate! ”
The staff officer on the side finally understood what Hasegawa Kidasa was going to do, this was to let everyone on the mountain die together!
Indiscriminate attack, this is also the last resort of the Japanese Army...... (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
