Chapter Seventy-Three: Heavy Damage to the Japanese Army
This is the commander of an elite wing of the Japanese army, and it is completely exposed, as long as such a group of Japanese officers is dealt with, this is a great merit, and at the same time it can give the Japanese army a fatal blow in morale. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just when these Japanese officers were exposed, several machine gunners directly picked up the machine guns and fired violently, and the whistling bullets quickly shot most of these officers, even if they didn't die, they were stabbed to death by the follow-up soldiers.
On the battlefield at this time, the Japanese army had retreated on all fronts, but under the fierce charge of the 60th Army, there were not many escapes, only about hundreds of people fled in a hurry under the cover of a few tanks, and the rest were basically wiped out.
"Yes"!
A moment later, the three regiment commanders who received the order, before they had time to clean up the battlefield, once again led their soldiers and horses to launch another fierce charge towards the two Japanese brigades that came to reinforce them.
"Wouldn't that be too risky"? Xue Zizheng said.
"No, in the past, we always defended passively, the Japanese army is used to fighting, if we fight, we will fight, if we can't fight, we will chase them with artillery, if they don't chase, they will rest enough to fight in a U-turn, and now their artillery is caught off guard, now I will give them something powerful directly in one go, I dare not say that they can also be annihilated and they have suffered heavy losses!"
At this time, at the foot of Yuwang Mountain, all the mortars of the three regiments began to shoot extendedly, and the infantry quickly charged under the cover of artillery fire, constantly attacking forward and stretching the charge, and the whole night was shaking in the roar, and the real plain was trembling in the shouting and killing.
At the same time, the Theater Commander's Department, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were also studying the combat plan on the map, and at this time, the phone in the headquarters rang, and Li Zongren picked up the phone and said: "I am Li Zongren"!
"Hello sir, I'm Lu Han, my department just wiped out almost a Japanese wing at the foot of Yuwang Mountain, and now it is like the Japanese reinforcements launching a fierce charge, in order to prevent the rest of the Japanese reinforcements from threatening our army, please give the commander an order, let the brother troops help block it, and win time for our army to defeat the Japanese reinforcements"!
As soon as Li Zongren heard Lu Han's report, his frowning brows instantly dispersed, and he smiled and said, "Okay! Well done, I want to remember your 60th Army, I will give the order to go down, let Yu Xuezhong Tang Enbo's troops cover you, and the ammunition promised to you will be sent to you tonight and overnight, you must continue to work hard and strive for the final victory of the nation"!
"Sir, rest assured, as long as my 60th Army is still there, Yuwang Mountain will be as solid as a rock"! Luján said.
Putting down the phone, Li Zongren said with a happy face: "The 60th Army really lived up to expectations, and a wing of the Japanese army that completely annihilated it dared to charge like the reinforcements of the Japanese army, Seishiro Itagaki and Ryosuke Isoya never dreamed that one of our 60th Army would actually block them here for half a month, and let them suffer heavy losses, it seems that we have won this battle."
Bai Chongxi frowned but said in a low voice: "It's a pity that they are Long Yun's soldiers, no matter whether they win or lose this battle, as long as it ends, the Sixty Army will inevitably declare that it will be a big boost, I'm afraid that when the time comes...
Li Zongren's brows also furrowed, but after a while, he said coldly: "In this battle, no matter whether you win or lose, the 60th Army will disappear, but now we still want them to block the onslaught of the two elite divisions of the Japanese army!"
Lu Han didn't know, Zhang Chong didn't know, and neither did the soldiers who were charging bravely, just as they were rushing to kill, a conspiracy because of factions and old feuds was already quietly brewing.
In the rear of the Japanese army, the military headquarters of Seishiro Itagaki heard the news that a wing that had gone forward had almost been completely wiped out by the 60th Army, and that the two reinforced brigades had also been attacked by the 60th Army. Our one-man infantry wing was completely annihilated, and even the reinforcements were almost unable to resist it"?
The unbreathable communications soldier who was dragged looked at the hideous face of the division commander, almost unable to breathe, and after a while, Itagaki Seishiro calmed down, put down the signal soldier and said: "Pass the order, let the reinforcements get rid of the chasing enemy and retreat quickly"!
Just as the communications corps was about to walk out, Seishiro Itagaki hesitated for a while and added, "Tell Ryosuke Isoya and let him send troops to cover."
"Hey"!
After the communication soldiers left, Itagaki Seishiro slapped the table and said: "Listen to their communications, I want to know all the content of the calls on Yuwang Mountain"!
"Hey"!
......
At this time, the battle on the Great Plains had reached an extremely tragic moment, and the reinforced Japanese troops did not expect that the strength of a wing would be completely wiped out in such a short period of time, and the barbarian army that had free up their hands was aimed at them.
The morale of the 60th Army was like a rainbow at this time, but the Japanese army was already frightened, once the barbarians rushed to the front, the Japanese army knew what it meant, that is, the white-knuckle battle that made them all frightened, the bayonet had no advantage over the bayonet, and the mortars were still roaring, and the Japanese troops at the front were also suffering heavy casualties, and began to retreat.
At this time, Yu Xuezhong's troops and Tang Enbo's troops also connected with the Japanese reinforcements, and the two Japanese brigades quickly retreated after receiving the order to retreat, while the 60th Army pursued and fought fiercely all the way, and the Japanese soldiers were constantly shot in the back and fell, and the soldiers of the 60th Army kept shouting and chasing and killing.
This pursuit battle lasted for another half an hour before it could be stopped, at this time the Japanese army fled more than 1,000 people, it can be said to be a rare victory, the 60th Army that collected troops back to the mountain also captured countless people, most of the Japanese equipment was captured by the 60th Army, and there were some Japanese army rations, including the sabers of these Japanese officers, etc.
The 60th Army that cleaned up the battlefield all withdrew to Yuwang Mountain, and after this battle, the casualties of the 184th Division also reached 1,000 people, but the casualties of the Japanese army were far greater than this, and the so-called one-to-five was completely transformed under this Yuwang Mountain.
The soldiers of the 60th Army are almost all the elite of the Yunnan Army, and the equipment is more advantageous than the Central Army at that time, and most of the soldiers are veterans who have experienced many wars, when they have lost their artillery superiority, and the Japanese army and the 60th Army have air superiority in a short confrontation, the 60th Army is often able to give full play to its advantages, and when the army often needs several times the strength to barely fight a draw with the Japanese army, the 60th Army can still win more with less, which is rare or even extremely rare in the early stage of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression at that time.
This day's war finally ended with the retreat of the Japanese reinforcements after suffering heavy losses, but many people couldn't sleep this night, and the soldiers of the 60th Army were silent in ecstasy, especially the commendation telegram sent by Long Yun from late at night, especially the 5,000 soldiers were on the way, and Li Zongren's materials were also delivered in time, plus the captured Japanese ammunition and equipment, it could be regarded as a rich flow of oil.
This night, the soldiers of the 60th Army ate not dry and hard wheat seeds, but canned food, canned food captured from the Japanese army, they have more and more information about this battle, as long as the Banyuan Division and the Isogu Division are firmly contained here, then the Japanese army will lose two of the most powerful divisions in this general battle, then maybe the 700,000 army can really defeat the Japanese army, and then I am afraid that it will be the time for the Japanese army to be defeated on all fronts.
In the command headquarters of the Japanese army, Itagaki Seishiro's face was blue at this time, his own troops had already suffered heavy casualties in the previous Taierzhuang victory, this time with the determination to be ashamed of the past, suffered heavy losses, and was blocked again by the strength of a Chinese army, and a single army caused them the greatest loss since the war against China, and it was also the biggest loss of the Banyuan division on the Lunan Plain, and even the morale of the soldiers suffered an unimaginable blow.
Many Japanese soldiers became cowering and very frightened as long as they heard the majestic March of the Volunteers and the military song of the 60th Army, and they could not attack it for a long time, and the Japanese base camp also ordered them to attack Yuwang Mountain many times.
Itagaki Seishiro looked at Xuzhou on the map, looked at the Yuwang Mountain marked with a triangle on the periphery of Xuzhou, his fists clenched unconsciously, and most of the officers standing below bowed their heads and stood solemnly, and the previously injured Major General Shun was making trouble in the room at this time to disembowel!
After a while, Seishiro Itagaki spoke: "Is the phone of the 60th Army monitored?"
"Listening"!
"Good! Gather the troops, tomorrow I will personally command, we must capture Yuwang Mountain, if you can't attack, I, and you will all apologize for the crime"!
"Hey"!
At this time, the rear of the Japanese army, but once again gathered troops and horses, the hard fighting in the past few days made the Japanese army also suffer heavy losses, the troops who were originally responsible for attacking Yuwang Mountain almost lost their combat effectiveness at this time, and could only mobilize heavy troops from other directions.
In the darkness outside the barracks, Lu Hai and others were observing the movements of the Japanese army again at this time, they were now the eyes of the 184th Division, in fact, since the Japanese wing was defeated, Lu Hai and others had begun to retreat in a roundabout way, and once again lurked in the rear of the Japanese army, always paying attention to the movements of the Japanese army.
"It's strange, aren't these little devils tired? This has just been a big defeat, and it is gathering troops and horses on a large scale"? Hai Zhizhi whispered.
"If my guess is correct, there will be a large-scale defensive battle in Yuwang Mountain tomorrow, inform the division commander of this information and let him get ready"! Lu Hai frowned.
"Yes"!
On Yuwang Mountain, Zhang Chong and Xue Zizheng were holding the telegram sent by Lu Hai and frowned, Zhang Chong said: "The Japanese army is preparing for a large-scale counterattack, hurry up and notify them, let them prepare early"!
