Chapter 639: Mist
Chapter 639 Mí Fog (Ask for Subscription!) )
On the battlefield of the four camels, with the sound of the last gunshot, the entire battlefield finally fell into a deathly tranquility. However, this silence, which lasted less than a few seconds, was replaced by a series of deafening cheers from the soldiers.
After more than ten hours of bloody battles, I saw the corpses of Japanese soldiers and comrades-in-arms everywhere in front of me. Let every soldier who survived, physically and mentally exhausted, couldn't help but burst into tears. Wielding the weapon in his hand, waving the military flag that had been stained red with blood, he used his biggest roar to vent the jī movement and excitement in his heart at this moment.
The cheers and slogans of jī moving, like a beautiful jiao symphony, quickly began to spread on the battlefield, returning to dang, jī moved people's hearts. In the former enemy headquarters, under the influence of this jiaoxiang symphony, the atmosphere was also high. The expressions on everyone's faces, from the anxious and worried look before the war... It became the jī movement and excitement of this moment.
"Chief, the two of the frontline commanders, Commander Sun and Division Commander Li, jointly came to report the battle, and the 124th Division of the Japanese Army, more than 20,000 people below the commander of the division, were all wiped out, and none of them escaped the net. As for the specific results of the battle, the troops are in the process of counting them. However, what is certain is that none of the more than 60 guns of various calibers of the Japanese field artillery wing were damaged, and all of them were completely captured by our troops. As for the other weapons and equipment, there are countless of them....", the communications staff officer, rushed into the command headquarters with a smile on his face and reported.
"Good, good play... Five fingers of the Japanese army have been successfully cut off by our army. Next, it depends on the movement of the remaining four fingers of the Japanese army. The intelligence officers were instructed to intensify the reconnaissance of the remaining four divisions of the Japanese army, and to report any situation immediately. At the same time, tell Li Sun and the two division commanders to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield. At the same time, the latest casualties of the troops will be reported to the command immediately. After a short period of movement, Liu Hua decisively ordered.
"Yes, sir," replied the communications staff.
Half an hour later, a summary of the latest casualties of the troops soon reached the hands of Commander Zhou Baozhong. Under Liu Hua's expectant gaze, Zhou Baozhong spoke.
"Chief, the casualties of the troops have been counted. According to statistics, after ten hours of bloody battles, our two main divisions and one guard regiment paid a total of more than 6,500 casualties (all casualties, including only those who were sacrificed and those who were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness). Among them, 4,278 were killed, and 2,356 were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness. At present, the remaining combatable troops of the entire army include 4,125 men in the 13th Division, 4,689 in the 15th Division, and 863 in the guard regiment directly under the column, with a total strength of 9,677 people...."
"It's really three thousand kills and eight hundred self-losses. After this battle, the two main divisions lost almost one-third of their combat effectiveness..."Hearing such huge casualties, Liu Hua couldn't help but muttered to himself.
After a short period of contemplation, he commanded decisively to a combat staff officer in front of him.
"Operational staff officers, order the 13 and 15 divisions to immediately reduce the remaining combatable troops of the troops. It is imperative to ensure that after the reorganization of the troops, each division will be able to allocate two main regiments with a full strength to participate in the next battles that may arise. As for the guard regiment, it was reduced to two battalions and remained at the former enemy headquarters as a guard force. ”
"Yes, long, I'll go deliver the order right away..."
looked at the departing combat staff officers, and then looked at the three huge arrows on the military map, representing the Japanese reinforcements. Liu Hua opened his mouth and asked, "Old Zhou, it has been more than half an hour since the 124th Division was completely annihilated by us. Japanese reinforcements should also know the news. How about it, the Japanese army has reinforces the army on three routes, is there any change? ”
In the face of Liu Hua's inquiry, Zhou Baozhong quickly came to the side of the map, and used a pencil to draw three huge arrows in the shape of "Pin" in a position less than 40 kilometers away from the Sifang camel. Then, he said to Liu Hua:
"Commander, according to the report of the commanders of the three main divisions who slowed down the march of the Japanese army. After learning the news that the 124th Division had been completely annihilated by our army, the Japanese army reinforced the army from three routes, and there was no sign of retreat. Instead, he quickly put out a huge 'pin' zigzag attack queue, advancing step by step, and slowly advancing towards my Quartet camel attack. It seems that they don't give up if they don't reach the Yellow River..."
"What the Japanese army wants to do. The 124th Division has been completely annihilated by us, and the troops of three divisions have been sent to press us in an overwhelming situation. Don't they know that after the battle is over, we can withdraw from the battlefield at any time and let his three main divisions pounce..."Liu Hua, who was puzzled by the actions of the Japanese army, couldn't help muttering to himself. ,
Seeing the commander Liu Hua frowning in front of him. In the face of a huge victory, Commander Zhou Baozhong became more and more confident in the combat effectiveness of his troops. Facing Liu Hua in front of him, he suggested with a smile on his face.
"Commander, since the Xiao devil wants to come over and send him to death. Look, do we want to concentrate our forces, give Xiao devil reinforcements again, annihilate part of their troops, and beat them back. ”
However, what disappointed him was that under the gaze of his expectant eyes, the commander in front of him did not think about it, and decisively rejected his proposal: "No, the Japanese army is distributed in a 'product' shape and is advancing towards us." The reason for this is that we can take care of the position and retract it freely, so as to prevent us from attacking all the way to it. If we provoke them now, we will not only gain nothing, but we will also lose our troops. ”
Regarding Commander Liu Hua's explanation, Zhou Baozhong nodded thoughtfully and quickly closed his mouth. Then, frowning at his brows, he asked rhetorically, "Commander, what should we do next, do we just sit back and wait?" ”
For Zhou Baozhong's question, look at the movements of the Japanese army on the map in front of him. Liu Hua slowly fell into thinking, and after a few minutes, Liu Hua finally opened his eyes and ordered decisively to a combat staff officer in front of him.
"There are too many light and serious casualties in the troops, which has a great impact on the subsequent transfers and battles that the troops may face. So, our first step is to transport the wounded. All the combat personnel of the guard regiment and the artillery regiment were ordered to transfer the strength of a battalion and transport all the seriously wounded of the unit back to the base area for treatment. When the time comes, Deputy Commander Yang, who remains in the base area, will be notified and a militia unit will be dispatched to respond. At the same time, he sent a telegram to Wang Daoguang, director of the logistics department who remained in Baishan County, ordering him to immediately escort the heavy artillery shells of a branch to us......
After the combat staff officer has recorded all the orders he has just given. Liu Hua continued to speak: "After the battlefield is cleaned, all units will immediately replenish their ammunition on the spot and rest. At the same time, the two main divisions must be reorganized and sent out as soon as possible to deal with possible battles at any time. ”
"As for how to deal with the Japanese reinforcements, I have only one word, and that is 'wait'. Wait for Xiao Devil to make a move, when the time comes, whatever trick he makes, we will break whatever move... Go and deliver the order right away. Liu Hua ordered decisively.
At this moment, what Liu Hua didn't expect was that the three main divisions of the Japanese army in front of him were just a huge smokescreen released by the Japanese army. And the real killer weapon of the Japanese army, the 128th Division, with more than 20,000 elite soldiers, is the biggest threat to itself and the entire base area. At this moment, a huge conspiracy is slowly enveloping the sky over the entire base area.
In the headquarters of the 128th Division of the Japanese Army, the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka, was facing more than a dozen subordinates in front of him, with a big thunder. Because, in the course of several days of offensive advances, their own troops not only did not achieve any tangible results. On the contrary, under the endless SAO harassment and obstruction of the Eighth Route Army, more than 2,000 elite imperial soldiers were lost in vain.
At the same time, during the advance of the offensive for several days, almost every night, the camping of the troops was harassed several times by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army. In the end, under the continuous harassment of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, the troops not only paid huge losses, but more importantly, the morale of the soldiers was extremely low. The soldiers had little energy left.
Just when the officers were enduring the monstrous anger of the division commander, Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigehou, a rush of footsteps interrupted the angry scolding of Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigehou in front of them, which made the hearts of the officers can't help but feel a fluke.
And just when everyone thought that Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka would vent all his anger on Maomao's irritable communications staff officer, and was about to watch a good show, the communications staff officer unexpectedly spoke first.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, the former enemy command has an urgent telegram...."
Seeing the division commander in front of him, he unexpectedly did not have fire, but quickly took the telegram and began to browse quickly. The officers, along with the communications staff officers who had just stormed the headquarters, couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
However, the division commander in front of him, Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigehou, had a frown on his face. After reading the entire telegram, not only did not there be any stretching, but the wrinkles became deeper. Seeing the division commander's face changing in front of him, the division chief of staff asked in a loud voice. "Division commander, is something wrong?" ”
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you a very unfortunate news, my 124th Division was unfortunately annihilated half an hour ago under the heavy encirclement and suppression of the main force of the Eighth Route Army. None of the more than 20,000 warriors of the Imperial Army, including the division commander, were spared, and all of them were killed..."Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka nodded indifferently before replying.
Immediately, Yamaoka's words were like a thunderbolt, completely calming everyone.
Finally, the entire command, after a few minutes of deathly silence. The chief of staff of the division opened his mouth again and asked: "Division commander, now the 124th Division no longer exists. The Fifth Route Army that encircled and suppressed the Eighth Route Army's base area was only four routes. What should we do next? ”
As soon as the chief of staff's words fell, the command, everyone's eyes, converged on Yamaoka Shigehou's body at the same time. After all, judging from the annihilation of the 124th Division, the combat effectiveness of his opponent, the Eighth Route Army in the Mengshan area, has far exceeded his imagination. The Eighth Route Army has the ability to completely annihilate a main division of the Kwantung Army in such a short period of time, and it has the ability to completely annihilate itself.
As long as it is a human being, when facing danger, the first thing that comes to mind is to save one's life. Even the Xiao devil who has been influenced by the spirit of bushido all the year round has no accidents. More than a dozen big Xiao officers thought about the future of their division and their own safety. Immediately, he looked at Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka in front of him expectantly, waiting for his answer.
Seeing the instantaneous change in the expressions of his subordinates in front of him, he thought of the telegram that the former enemy headquarters Jiao gave himself the heavy responsibility of the 128th Division. The corners of Lieutenant General Shigemo Yamaoka, the true militarist, immediately smiled with confidence. Then, he said to the worried officers in front of him.
"You don't have to worry, although the Eighth Route Army concentrated all its forces and completely annihilated our 124th Division in a very short period of time. However, this also puts a leak of their own in front of us. ”
"Division commander, what is the leak?" The commander of the 1st Infantry Wing, Nakazawa Daisa, asked with an eager expression.
I saw everyone looking at me expectantly again, but at this moment, there was a hint of sharpness in the eyes of this expectation. Lieutenant General Shanggang Zhonghou nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke.
"The Eighth Route Army concentrated its forces and completely annihilated our 124th Division. Then, at this moment, the defense of the Eighth Route Army's base area, the Mengshan area, must be empty. And the combat mission given to me by the former enemy command for the 128th Division was to 'dig out the hearts of the tigers'. With a lightning-fast offensive, the Eighth Route Army base area was directly chacha. Burn the entire Meng Mountain area, give way to the main forces of the Eighth Route Army on the periphery, lose their roots, cut off their retreat and all logistical supplies. ”
In an instant, as soon as Lieutenant General Yamaoka's words fell, the faces of the officers immediately showed excitement.
Without the huge threat of death, facing the low-hanging fruit of war. These officers no longer have any scruples. Now, in their hearts, the only thought is that the division commander in front of them should hurry up and give the battle order. Let yourself go to the battlefield a little earlier and build up your exploits.
Thinking of this, the chief of staff of the division was the first to speak: "Your Excellency the division commander, please give a combat order..."
Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka did not fulfill everyone's wishes and immediately gave the order. Instead, he said to everyone with a worried face:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the tiger digs out his heart, although he can achieve unexpected results and give the Eighth Route Army troops in the Meng Mountain area a blow to destroy Xìng. However, in order to implement this battle plan, we must meet two requirements: First, we must engage the enemy in concealment. The second point is that the action is fast. However, around us, there are a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army hidden. I can guarantee that as soon as we act, our plans will be known to the enemy's commanders and they will be deployed in advance. Therefore, now our urgent problem is how to avoid the enemy's scouts. After that, it is to concentrate the forces and go straight to the bsp; After half an hour of discussion, a detailed battle plan appeared in the hands of Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka. After reading the battle plan in his hand, Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka nodded with satisfaction. A pair of sharp eyes, after sweeping around the dozen or so officials in front of him, he ordered with a serious face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in order to complete the combat mission of the 128th Division given to us by the former enemy headquarters, for the sake of the Japanese Empire, to eliminate the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Meng Mountain area. Now I command. "The most elite infantry, artillery, and engineers were transferred from the whole army to form a 5,000-strong hún detachment, commanded by the commander of the first wing, Nakazawa Daisa, and adopted the method of marching day and night to directly investigate the base area of the Eighth Route Army and destroy the entire base area. ”
"The main force of the division is under my personal command: from now on, in the face of the SAO harassment of the Eighth Route Army, we will no longer avoid the enemy, but attack from all sides, constantly killing and injuring the living forces of the Eighth Route Army. Give the Eighth Route Army the false impression that our 128th Division is ready to send troops to destroy them, so as to cover the hún detachment and complete the entire battle plan... As for the specific plan, after a while, the chief of staff of the division and regiment will make a specific distribution for everyone. Is it clear to everyone? ”
"Hay...", a smile appeared on the faces of more than a dozen big Xiao officers, and they replied with a smile on their faces.
"Yo Xi, I hope we all work together. When the time comes, after the troops win the victory in the encirclement and suppression operation, the credit will definitely belong to our 128th Division. And you, who are the meritorious personnel in this encirclement and suppression operation, and the meritorious service commendation of the Kwantung Army Command, I believe that there will be no shortage of you. Lieutenant General Shigetsu Yamaoka replied affirmatively.
"Hai, please rest assured that Your Excellency the Division Commander will guarantee the completion of the mission..."The officers led by the Wing Commander of the 1st Infantry Wing, Nakazawa Osa, once again replied in unison.
"Very well, after the meeting is over, everyone will go their separate ways to prepare. The commanders of the various wings must chou transfer the most elite troops in the army to the hands of Nakazawa Daisa. And the entire hún detachment is scheduled to leave at eight o'clock this evening. Now the meeting is adjourned..."Lieutenant General Shigema Yamaoka ordered decisively....
With the 5,000-strong hún detachment, under the cover of the continuous attacks of the main forces of the division, it disappeared into the vast night. A huge conspiracy around the base area begins to unfold slowly...
As for the entire base area, with less than 1,000 troops left behind, whether or not they can survive the difficulties, successfully repel the Japanese troops, and smash their tiger battle plan depends on the decisive decision of Liu Hua, the supreme commander of the base area....
