Chapter 275: Kuncang Pass

At the end of the meeting, Hu Zhiyong received the news that Hainan Island had been invaded by the Japanese army. Books.com ( . V o Dt . c o M) He was stunned with his phone!

In November 1939, the Japanese Fifth Division, the Taiwan Mixed Brigade, the Fifth Fleet and the Navy's Third Combined Air Force assembled in Sanya Port.

The Japanese Navy has always been in a subordinate position to the Army in the war of aggression against China before 1939, and as the Sino-Japanese War entered a protracted stage, the Japanese Navy still has a certain advantage in military strength over the Japanese Army, and is still capable of launching new offensives.

Around the time of the Chinese New Year, the winter on Hainan Island was the dry season, and there was no heavy rain or typhoon, which was conducive to the assembly and landing activities of the Japanese navy warships, and at the same time, the dry season was also beneficial to the rapid deployment of the Japanese mechanized troops after landing on Hainan Island.

The Japanese army wanted to end the war of aggression against China as soon as possible and move to the war of the south, so as to further start its aggressive activities in the South Pacific region with greater ambitions. The Japanese invasion and occupation of Hainan Island will be a prelude to the outbreak of the Pacific War!

Hu Zhiyong was pondering, Hou Dashun came over and whispered: "Young master, I am afraid that the Japanese army will outflank Hong Kong when it occupies Hainan Island. ”

"Militarily, an aviation base could be built on Hainan Island to cut off the coastal communication arteries along China's coast through air strikes. By controlling the South China Sea coasts of Hong Kong, Kowloon, Macao, Shantou, and Guangzhou Bay, a large number of anti-Japanese war materials were imported, and it could also be used as a base for the Japanese army's "southward advance". ”

"Going south?" Hou Dashun was stunned, and there was a sea to the south.

"Japan is an island nation that lacks natural resources, and as it expands in Asia, Japan is under increasing pressure from other countries, and it is becoming more and more difficult to source its supplies. Due to its lack of military strength and unprecedented political isolation, it was forced to switch to a protracted war against China. If Japan is to support a protracted war, it must expand its access to resources.

Hainan Island's abundant resources make it salivate, but it is far from satisfying the appetite of these greedy gamblers! When Hu Zhiyong said this, he slammed his fist on the table: "The Japanese army is ready to attack Southeast Asia!" ”

Podlov listened to Hu Zhiyong's analysis, and he admired the young man's shrewd mind. But he did not believe that the Japanese army dared to provoke the bottom line of Britain, France and the United States.

"Do you think the islanders don't dare?" Hu Zhiyong smiled: "They suffered a big loss in the Far East, so they are ready to go south." Those hot-headed navies thought that Britain, France and the United States were far away from them, and wanted to end the war as soon as possible and force the United States to recognize their interests in Southeast Asia! ”

"We-" Hou Dashun looked at Hu Zhiyong hesitantly, he didn't know what the three young men of the Hu family were thinking at this moment.

"Hit!" Hu Zhiyong shouted: "War begins with the resistance of the attacked side. Without this resistance, there would be no war. Chief of Communications! ”

"Here!"

"Contact the Nationalist Government for me, and I want to talk directly to Chairman Chiang!"

"Yes!"

Guarding the coastal defense of Liangguang was the 16th Group Army of the former Gui Army, which had jurisdiction over the 46th Army and the 31st Army. Commander-in-Chief Xia Wei was extremely dissatisfied with his transfer to the 11th Group Army as commander-in-chief, and took the opportunity of his mother's funeral to hide in his hometown in Rong County to make trouble.

Cai Tingkai, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the 16th Group Army, did not dare to take up the post of director, so no one handled the information about the Japanese invasion. Bai Chongxi, director of the camp in Guilin, went to Chongqing to hold the Sixth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Kuomintang, and Lin Wei, chief of staff of the camp, went to Rong County on the order of Jiang to mourn Xia Wei's mother's funeral and comfort Xia himself, and the camp became an empty camp.

Zhang Fakui, commander of the Fourth Theater of Operations, was far away in Shaoguan, Guangdong, and did not dare to make his own decisions without an order to camp in Guangdong. This series of factors has rendered the organs of the third-level leaders of the camps, theaters, and group armies useless, and this is tantamount to a disaster for Hainan, which is about to have a major war.

The speed of the Japanese attack was beyond Hu Zhiyong's expectations, and when he was negotiating with Lao Chiang, the Japanese army occupied Qinzhou and Fangcheng, and Xiao Dong, where the headquarters of the new 19th Division was located, and the division commander Huang Gu retreated from the battle and fled alone.

Chiang Kai-shek summoned Bai Chongxi in Chongqing and ordered him to immediately return to Guilin to command the battle. Hearing that Hong Kong's tank troops and air force were helping in the war, Bai Chongxi, director of the Guilin camp, was overjoyed, and he had in his hands the three most powerful units of the new 22nd, 1st and 200th divisions led by Du Yuming of the Fifth Army of the Mechanized Army.

Hu Zhiyong went with the blood wolf troops, and when he stepped off the helicopter, he saw Bai Chongxi, Du Yuming, Dai Anlan, Zheng Dongguo, and Yu Shao all waiting. Seeing this elite unit unloading combat vehicles, tanks, various command vehicles, dining cars, temporary hospitals, and other equipment from the plane, Bai Chongxi and others were all excited by such a unit.

"Blood wolf!" Zheng Dongguo had many contacts with the Blood Wolf Force during the Anti-Japanese War on the Great Wall, but he didn't expect this force to change so much now. When he saw the three of Yongxiang, he couldn't help but scream.

The eyes of the generals of the national army widened, the famous blood wolf is often talked about in the national army, but he didn't expect this army to appear here. Hu Zhiyong looked back at Yongxiang: "It's not simple, your reputation is so big!" ”

"General Zheng, I didn't expect you to become the commander of the mechanized unit, and you no longer have to take off your clothes and charge with a pistol!" Dechang was straightforward and fast-talking, and mentioned the rare scene of the Great Wall in front of everyone.

"How do you know?" Zheng Dongguo looked at Yongxiang in surprise.

During the battle, Zheng Dongguo was ordered to lead his troops to retreat to the rear to rest, and on the way to the march, he suddenly heard that the position of the 83rd Division was broken through by the Japanese army, and the troops suffered heavy casualties.

Zheng Dongguo was so anxious that he immediately led his troops back to the front line and launched a counteroffensive against the Japanese army. At this time, most of our positions had been lost, and a large number of Japanese troops rushed in. Zheng Dongguo failed many counterattacks due to his weak troops.

At this critical juncture, in order to show his determination to die, he took off his military uniform, wore only a white shirt, carried a pistol, and personally led the troops to charge.

Yongxiang told everyone about Zheng Dongguo's deeds, and finally said with a smile: "It just so happened that we were passing by and opened fire behind the ass of the Japanese army!" ”

"Ah, it's you behind the enemy!" Zheng Dongguo rushed over excitedly, hugged Yongxiang and shouted loudly: "Zheng is the courage of a horseman, fortunately you appeared in time!" ”

The soldiers were busy, and Hu Zhiyong and the soldiers of the national army shook hands one by one. When he met Dai Anlan, he stared at him carefully for a long time. Bai Chongxi was surprised: "You know?" ”

Hu Zhiyong said something inexplicable: "I don't know, I hope history won't repeat itself!" ”

Bai Chongxi's camp command post was Qianjiang, and after seeing the blood wolf troops, he said to the Fifth Army: "The Japanese army has occupied Kuncang Pass, we must launch a counterattack immediately while the Japanese army is not firmly established and its troops are still weak!" ”

Chief of Staff Lin Wei pointed to the map and said: "The commander of the Japanese 21st Army, Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, who is firmly guarding Kunlun Pass and Kannan, has jurisdiction over the 5th Division (Division Commander Lieutenant General Imamura; Jurisdiction of the 9th Brigade, Brigade Commander and Major General Chuan Yuan; 21st Brigade, Brigade Commander Major General Masao Nakamura; Taiwan mixed brigade, brigade commander Major General Shiota Dingqi. Together with the Marine Corps (more than 70 warships) and the Air Force (100 aircraft), there are about 30,000 people. Later replenishment of the arriving Guards Divisions; a brigade of the 18th Division; The total number of soldiers is about 100,000.

Our troops participating in the battle include the honorary 1st Division of the 5th Army (deputy commander Zheng Dongguo and division commander), the newly formed 22nd Division (division commander Qiu Qingquan), the armored regiment, cavalry regiment, artillery regiment, and engineer regiment of the 5th Army.

Cai Tingkai's 26th Army; Ye Zhao's 37th Army; Deng Longguang's 35th Army; and the 5th Army, where the 38th Army was located, was also assembled one after another.

The commander of the group army, Xu Tingyao, the 2nd Army (Commander Li Yannian), the 6th Army (Commander Gan Lichu), the 99th Army (Commander Fu Zhongfang), the 36th Army (Commander Yao Chun), together with auxiliary troops, totaled 300,000 people. ”

After listening to the introduction of the chief of staff, Bai Chongxi politely said to Hu Zhiyong: "What do you have to add to the three young men?" ”

"The old rule, the Japanese Air Force, Navy, and artillery blood wolves will deal with it, and let everyone do the rest!" Hu Zhiyong stood up humorously and said in a mocking tone.

"There are more than 70 warships of the Japanese Navy and 100 air force aircraft!" The chief of staff repeated the information again with questions.

"You think it's too much?" Hu Zhiyong couldn't help but laugh: "As long as he doesn't run away, I dare to guarantee that all warships and planes will have to be left behind for me!" ”

Bai Chongxi was pleasantly surprised, if the strength of the Japanese navy and air force was eliminated, he would only face more than 40,000 Japanese troops. Everyone was excited, and they all wanted to see how more than 10,000 blood wolves could face the huge navy and air force of the Japanese army!

"Okay, let's close the door and fight the tiger! The 200th Division (Division Commander Dai Anlan) and the Honorary First Division (Division Commander Zheng Dongguo) were mainly attacking Kunlun Pass; The newly formed 22nd Division (division commander Qiu Qingquan) was a roundabout force on the right flank, bypassing Kunlun Pass by small road, capturing Wutang and Liutang, and striking at Japanese reinforcements from Nanning.

Peng Bisheng, deputy commander of the 200th Division, led two supplementary regiments to serve as a roundabout detachment on the left flank, attacking Qitang and Batang around Gantang and Chang'an, and attacking outside Kunlun Pass, blocking its retreat and blocking reinforcements. The total attack time is scheduled for dawn on the 18th, so let's go back and prepare! ”

"Yes!"

In the early morning of the 18th, the battle began. First of all, in an artillery battle, the heavy artillery regiment of the Chinese 5th Army and the artillery battalions of various divisions opened fire at the same time, and the Japanese side saw that the artillery could not reach the national army and began to take off all fighters and bombers.

"Report, Japanese planes take off!" The radar vehicle was the first to raise an alarm, informing the commander and three regiments of the location of the enemy aircraft.

"Launch short-range surface-to-air missiles, so that not a single Japanese plane can leave the airport!" Yongxiang tasted of teasing and prepared to crush the Japanese plane to death on the airfield.

"Heh, the Japanese planes can't take off, who can see our results?" When Dechang heard the order, he first put forward his opinion.

"It's not worth wasting missiles, use your tanks to attack!" Yongxiang smiled cheaply. Another order.

"Yes!"

The Japanese planes took off, and the soldiers of the Nationalist army on the front line showed frightened faces. But they saw shells flying into the air, chasing the Japanese planes into the belly of the enemy planes.

"Boom-"

The plane exploded amid the pilot's screams and crashed into another enemy plane as it was about to take off.

"Boom—"

Explosions, fires, and fierce shouts rang out one after another, and the soldiers of the national army cheered.

"Blood wolf!"

"Blood wolf!"

"Damn, we've only fired a few shells!" Dechang is depressed, there is no excitement in such a war!
