In order to achieve the greatest tactical effect, before the lighthouse divided the troops, Wang Guangyu specially ordered the regiment commander who was responsible for sealing the entire encirclement that if the 11th Division did not break through in the direction of the Luoli River, the regiment was not allowed to attack. 【. But if once the 11th Division breaks through to the east of the Luoli River with all its might, even if the regiment is completely wiped out, the main force of the 11th Division will not be allowed to step across the Luoli River.

Wang Guangyu was very cautious, and the reason why he stopped this regiment, which was responsible for finally closing the encirclement, from taking the initiative to attack, was not only that he was worried that the 11th Division would take the opportunity to find an opportunity to break through, but also that he was worried that the 8th Division would move west to reinforce the 11th Division. Leaving this regiment, if the Eighth Division, which is currently resting at the junction of eastern Baoqing and Mishan and Hulin, really moves westward with all its might, it can at least block it for a while and buy time for the headquarters to redeploy troops.

Just half an hour before Wang Guangyu commanded the Fifth Brigade to arrive at the intended place of deployment, the operation on the northern front, under the command of Yi Jianping, the political commissar of the column, the First Brigade, had arrived at the Tuanshanzi line after a night of forced march. In view of the fact that Liu Changshun's troops, who had counterattacked from the Jinshagang line, had already occupied Qingyuan and compressed the remnants of the 12th Wing to the 12-mile line, it was no longer necessary for him to continue to advance westward.

Yi Jianping immediately made a decision to stop moving westward. Without waiting for the arrival of the subordinate artillery, the main force of the 1st Brigade was concentrated under the cover of the brigade's artillery, and the first line of Tuanshanzi attacked and advanced in the direction of Baoqing with all its strength. Directly hit the flank and rear of the 43rd Wing, which was fighting fiercely between Jiaxinzi and the backer.

Just when Ushijima was thundering because the radio station was jammed and became deaf, Yi Jianping's vanguard had already defeated a squadron of the 43rd Wing, seized the back barrier of the Japanese troops on the front line of Jiaxinzi, and laid a nail deep in the back of the 43rd Wing. The main force of the 1st Brigade was also in the southwest direction of the mountain, forcibly crossing the Dabaishi River, and the front of the troops was directed to the flank and rear of the 43rd Wing.

At this moment, in the action of withdrawing all the Japanese troops who rushed into the city outside the city in a short period of time in Baoqing County, Yang Zhen, who had already guessed the Japanese army's move to retreat, learned that the main force of the 1st Brigade had crossed the line of the Dabaishi River and that its vanguard regiment had seized Xuma's report, and immediately ordered the troops from the front line of Xinzi to the backer to immediately counterattack the enemy in front of him.

It formed an encirclement with the troops of the 1st Brigade and the 5th Brigade against the 43rd Wing. In order to ensure that the defenders of the first line of Jiaxinzi, who suffered heavy casualties, had enough strength to counterattack, Yang Zhen transferred the last half of the reserve of the last battalion that was not used to the defenders of the first line of Jiaxinzi, even when the Japanese army that rushed into the city was less than 500 meters away from his headquarters at the most urgent time in Dongguan.

When the communications officer sent by Asakawa Osa, who had just rushed over, finally found the headquarters of the 43rd Wing, the 43rd Wing, which was still the main force, had been surrounded by reinforcements rushing up from all sides, and was surrounded by the line of Jiaxinzi southwest of Baoqing.

Almost at the same time that Asakawa Tsutoji Daisa was sent out to inform the 43rd Wing of the retreat plan, and the only one of the twelve communications officers arrived at the 43rd Wing headquarters. The squadron that had been carefully selected by Asakawa Teiji and went north to reinforce the remnants of the 12th Wing had not yet reached the final bottom line drawn by Ushijima on the 12th Wing on the 12th mile line, and encountered a large group of enemy troops that suddenly rushed from the direction of Yongle in the east on the front line of Hokura.

The Japanese troops of this squadron, who were caught off guard, were drowned under the opponent's offensive before they could even struggle a few times in the face of a large number of enemy troops who suddenly rushed out.

And this qiē, who was born on the first line of Jiaxinzi and Baocang, was at this moment because of an abnormality in radio communication, and all wireless communication was interrupted. After a period of intermittent intermittent communication, cable communication was eventually completely interrupted. At present, Lieutenant General Mitsuru Ushijima, who can only rely on the most primitive means of cavalry communication to understand the battle situation, does not know.

It was not until the vanguard regiment of the Fifth Brigade that was ordered to rescue Baoqing County ignored the fatigue of the long-distance march and tore the junction of the two wings of the 11th Division cleanly with a fierce offensive, except for one part to immediately run into Baoqing County, the main force attacked Dongguan with all its might. At the same time, when the follow-up troops had reached less than five miles southwest of Dongguan, Ushijima Mitsucai was shocked to find that he was now in embattlement.

In the face of a rapidly turning and even eroded battle situation, Ushijima knew that from the day he entered the territory of Baoqing, his opponent was probably already calculating himself. And judging from the movements of the opponent's main force, it is obvious that calculating himself is no longer a matter of one or two days.

They deliberately showed weakness, and only placed two regiments in the entire Baoqing, using Baoqing County to drag their main force. At the same time, he used the natural barrier of the Seven Star River to block the road to continue north. And its main force was not at the 14th Division on the Western Front at all, but had already moved to the western mountainous area of Baoqing to hide and wait, waiting for his whole army to enter the territory of Baoqing, and even after the division veterans were tired, the whole army rushed over to complete the encirclement of the main force of the 11th Division.

It's just that despite repeated pondering, Ushijima Man never figured out what went wrong with his plan to go north, which at least seemed seamless, and actually made the opponent aware in advance. If Ushijima knew that he had been dispatched in the 29th Division and had not shown up for a long time after the start of the first line of the Pot Helmet River, which aroused Yang Zhen's suspicions, would he regret slapping himself a few big mouths?

Although he didn't figure out what was wrong with him, he was seen by his opponent. However, Ushijima is sure that his plan to use the offensive of the 29th Division on the central line this time to attract the attention of the opponent's main force and command the 11th Division to take advantage of the weak forces in Baoqing to go north and directly capture Jiamusi was definitely not leaked out from his own side.

Because this plan was made by himself, and he did not fake anyone. The combat order was not issued until the 11th Division went north and arrived at the junction of Baoqing and Mishan. As for the Fifth Army, it was only after the attack on Baoqing County was launched that it was not until the specific movements of the 11th Division that it was impossible to leak out.

The exhibition of the battle situation did not give Ushijima much time to ponder. Looking at the opponent's increasing troops, listen to the dense gunfire that rang out from the front line of the clip. Ushijima knew that he was not thinking of a way, and in the face of an opponent who came up from all sides, the 11th Division might really die without a place to be buried.

Now for Ushijima, the most important thing is not to find out where the flaws are exposed, but how to get out. It's just that it's not clear how many troops the opponent has come up, and I don't know how much equipment it is, which makes Ushijima Man, who has always thought he is decisive in killing, feel at a loss for the first time.

Under Asakawa Daisa's repeated urging, especially when he received a large number of anti-Manchurian forces on the Baojin line, which was already close at the Beiguan level where the headquarters of the 44th Wing was located, Ushijima Man, who knew that the original retreat plan was no longer possible, did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered the 44th Wing to blow up the baggage and heavy weapons that could not be carried, and retreat with all its strength to the east of the Luoli River, where there was no trace of the enemy.

After ordering the 43rd Wing to leave two squadrons to hold back the opponent, it also immediately made all its efforts to break through to the east of the Luoli River from the current station of Jiaxinzi, while the 44th Wing, after crossing the Luoli River, immediately seized the ferry, covered and ordered the 43rd Wing to immediately move all its strength to the 44th Wing.

In Ushijima's opinion, as long as he can seize the opponent's encirclement and retreat eastward to the line of Jianshanzi after crossing the Luoli River before it is completely closed, he should be able to get rid of the opponent's encirclement. At this time, the Eighth Division was resting at the junction of Mishan and Hulin. As long as you reach the front line of Jianshanzi, you will be in the defensive circle of the Eighth Division, and you will be safe.

It's just that how to inform that in addition to the dense gunfire in the west and the information that the 43rd Wing is fighting fiercely with the opponent, the 43rd Wing, which has lost all wired and wireless communication links, makes Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru and Asakawa Tsuji Daisa worried.

Although the 43rd Wing and the 44th Wing have now been cut off by the opponent, if the 44th Wing stays on the Dongguan line, it can form a horn with the 43rd Wing. Once the 44th Wing breaks through now, even if the 43rd Wing is still fully staffed, it may not be able to survive in the face of the main force of the opponent who has come up from all sides.

Even though Lieutenant General Ushijima was confident in the combat effectiveness of the 43rd Wing, he still understood the allusion that the ants bit the elephant to death. Even the 6th Division, which claimed to be the most effective in the Imperial Army, was defeated under the opponent's offensive, and the strength of the 43rd Wing at this time was far inferior to that of the 6th Division, which still had two wings before the annihilation of the whole army. Once the 43rd Wing loses its strategy, I am afraid that there will not even be a chance to break through.

However, if the 44th Wing is allowed to remain in Dongguan, the strength of the 44th Wing has been drastically reduced to less than half of its full strength, and the ammunition has bottomed out, and the opponent who has now ascertained the number alone has a full strength of three regiments, I am afraid that it will be even more unlucky.

But if Ushijima is allowed to leave the 43rd Wing and flee for his life, not to mention that with the current strength of the 44th Wing with less than six squadrons left, can he break through in the opponent? It's the responsibility of throwing an entire reinforcement team to the opponent, and he can't afford to pay it. Even if he Ushijima can escape, the Tokyo base camp and the Kwantung Army headquarters can't spare him.

At this moment, Ushijima, who was a little anxious by the interruption of communication with the 43rd Wing, kept thinking about the trade-off between the two wings in his heart. As for the Twelfth Wing on the front line of the Twelve Miles, it was directly ignored in Ushijima's heart. The opponent had already reached the periphery of Beiguan, and the results of the temporary brigade composed of the remnants of the 12th Wing no longer needed to be asked. So in Ushijima's breakout plan, this brigade was not included in it at all.

Just when Lieutenant General Ushijima was anxious about how to contact the 43rd Wing, he didn't know what kind of madness God had made to these brutes. Or Ushijima's bad luck has come to an end. Radio communications, which had been strongly disrupted, were suddenly restored.

Seeing that radio contact had been restored, Ushijima Mitsuru, who was overjoyed, immediately gave the commander of the 43rd Wing, Qingaoyama, an order to immediately retreat to the east of the Luoli River, and immediately ordered the 44th Wing to turn around and break through to the east regardless of all its strength.

Originally, in Ushijima's opinion, compared with the 43rd Wing, which was far away on the front line of Jiaxinzi in the west of the city, it would be convenient for the 44th Wing to break through the main position between Dongguan and Beiguan, which was close to the Luoli River. It's just that what he didn't expect was that the result of this one-handed pinching breakthrough was quite unexpected.
