Chapter 280: The Pseudo-Tonghua Decisive Battle - Three Verticals and Three Circumferences (2)
The warm sun of late autumn jumps out of the horizon in the expectation of many people, for some people, with hope, for others, with blood.
Qiao Xinyu has hope and expectation in his heart, hoping that a new Tonghua is coming, and hoping that the pseudo-Tonghua battle can end perfectly.
Yoshioka Tatsuno's heart is hot-blooded, the first battle caused heavy losses to the main force of the new army, and regained the initiative in the war, which is to succeed in this battle, not to mention his position in the Kwantung Army, and more importantly, the dominance of the Great Japanese Empire in the northeast can be re-consolidated.
"Order the Weishan Division to rush to ten kilometers west of Guandaoling, stop the five columns in the direction of Xinbin County on the spot, and hold out for a day no matter what. Order the Qinglong Division to immediately move closer to Guandao Ridge, and cooperate with us to form an encirclement of the new army on Guandao Ridge, this battle can only succeed, not fail! Yoshioka Tatsuno suppressed the excitement in his heart and gave the battle order.
"Yushan, everything is almost ready, Hu Xiansheng has been interspersed between the Weishan Division and the Yoshioka Tatsuno Division, Tonghua City is also completely under control, Tang Jijun's second column should not have been discovered now, this battle is the key to Zheng Ming's 101st Division, whether the three verticals and three perimeters can succeed depends on how long the 101st Division can hold out." Qiao Xinyu was still a little worried, according to the plan, the 101st Division would be pinned down and attracted by the Qinglong Division and the Xue Ying Division in Guandaoling, if it was unfortunately defeated in a short time, then Hu Xiansheng's 110th Division would be in danger.
Shen Yushan looked very calm, carefully went through the battle plan in his mind, and then said with a smile: "Political commissar, don't worry, there will be no problem, today's new first army's combat strength is no problem at all against a division of the Japanese army, and the 101st division is defensive, and has the geographical advantage of Guandaoling, I saw the fortifications of the 101st division last night, and it is impossible for the Japanese army to break through the defense line today." ”
At ten o'clock in the morning, Qiao Xinyu and Shen Yushan were waiting at the temporary command post, and the signal corps ran over to report: "Political commissar, chief of staff, the Japanese army has moved, the Weishan Division has already set up a defense on the west side of Guandaoling, and the Qinglong Division has also come over." ”
"Political commissar, I said you are worried about being redundant, Yoshioka Tatsuno seems to be as we expected, he did not find Tang Jijun's second column, and wanted to gather the strength of the two divisions to eliminate us." Shen Yushan said with a smile.
Qiao Xinyu nodded, and said to the communication soldier: "Order Fang Yun to personally command the Daoling defensive battle, and be sure to attract Yoshioka Tatsuno's attention, and Chief of Staff Shen and I will come over and make a bright appearance in a while, so that Yoshioka Tatsuno will be excited." In addition, Tang Jijun was ordered to approach Guandaoling and camp ten kilometers away, preparing to rush over at night to join the battle; Diao Yongyun was ordered to concentrate all the forces of the Fifth Column and destroy the Weishan Division today. ”
Diao Yongyun looked at the nearly 10,000 people in the middle of the troops behind him, helping the troops transport weapons, ammunition, food, and other materials, and couldn't help but think of what Lin Junxiong said: The top leader of the party Central Committee once said that our party is fighting a people's war, and let the entire Chinese people participate.
Yun Dong walked over, raised the telegram in his hand, and said with a smile: "Big brother, Political Commissar Qiao has called, ordering us to launch an attack on our own according to the situation, the third child has reached two kilometers behind the Weishan Division and hidden, and the political commissar ordered us to eliminate the Weishan Division today." ”
"Hehe" Diao Yongyun smiled first, and then said: "Fourth, it seems that the political commissar is still too cautious about our strength, and ordered the troops to rush to the combat position before half past ten, and launch an attack on time at eleven o'clock. ”
When Yun Dong heard this, he was still very confident in his heart if he wanted to take the Weishan Division before dark, but Diao Yongyun's order to destroy the Weishan Division within three hours was still a bit hasty in his opinion, "Big brother, is three hours a little urgent?" ”
Diao Yongyun pointed to the people in the team and said: "Fourth, because of the help of these people, all the belongings of our five verticals have been battlefieldd, plus the third is a strange soldier, and he will give the devil a blow at the right time, do you think the devil can last for three hours?" ”
Yun Dong looked at the people passing by, tired on his face, but his eyes were full of hope, when he came from the base area, nearly 10,000 people spontaneously organized the delivery of supplies and ammunition, so that the soldiers could have enough time to rest and fight bravely on the battlefield. He smiled and said to Diao Yongyun: "Big brother, maybe it won't take three hours, and the Weishan Division will cease to exist." ”
Early in the morning, Sato Shouren's eyelids jumped, and he always felt that something ominous was happening, and he had already sent someone to urge Wang Qingtian and Luo Jiahui to discuss how to further consolidate the defense of Tonghua City, but almost an hour had passed, and the two of them were still missing, could there be something delayed? Still is
Thinking of the worst conjecture in his heart, Sato Shouren suddenly stood up, gave the order to go down, and immediately gathered his troops.
"Bang Da"
The sound of gunfire made Sato Shouren jump in horror, Wang Qingtian and Luo Jiahui betrayed the Japanese Empire? Sato Shouren did not command the thirty or forty people who had just gathered to go to the aid of the troops in front, but quickly chose a way to retreat, Wang Qingtian and Luo Jiahui two regiments of nearly 3,000 people, it must be unwise to fight hard at this moment, we must escape, and report the situation in Tonghua City to Yoshioka Tatsuno, otherwise the large army will be flanked by the betrayal of Tonghua City, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
At half past ten in the morning, Qiao Xinyu received three pieces of information, the puppet Tonghua City was already in control, Diao Yongyun had reached the combat position, and Tang Jijun's second column had arrived at the east side of Guandaoling and was hiding ten kilometers away.
"Yushan, it's time for us to give Yoshioka Tatsuno a little excitement, to increase the possibility of success for the attack battle of the fifth column and the non-exposure of the second column, and attract Yoshioka Tatsuno's attention to Guandao Ridge." Qiao Xinyu sorted out the documents and said to Shen Yushan.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, Yoshioka Tatsuno heard the news that Tonghua City had fallen into the control of the New First Army, and that Wang Qingtian and Luo Jiahui had defected.
"Report, the Oyama Division has been subjected to a fierce attack."
Yoshioka Tatsuno raised his head and ordered, "Tell Ryoki Oyama to stop the advance of the new army in the west at all costs." ”
As soon as the communications soldier left, Xue Ying's face was full of excitement and walked in, "Your Excellency Commander, I just found two senior officers of the new First Army on the mountain in the forward position. ”
"Oh?" Yoshioka Tatsuno's decadent mood was swept away, and he walked over excitedly, "Let's go, let's go and have a look, if it's Lin Junxiong." ”
Yoshioka Tatsuno came to the forward position, looked up the mountain with a telescope, and saw that the two senior officers were surrounded by several soldiers, he carefully checked them in his mind, and smiled happily for a while, "It should be Qiao Xinyu, the political commissar of the New First Army, and Shen Yushan, the chief of staff." ”
The New First Army grew rapidly in the area of Tonghua Province, and the Kwantung Army finally obtained the portraits of the high-ranking generals of the New First Army through many channels.
"Snow Sakura-kun, order the troops to attack immediately, I immediately order Harumaka-kun to come quickly to reinforce them, this time they must be destroyed, with the humiliation that my Great Japanese Empire has suffered for more than a month." Yoshioka Tatsuno said through gritted teeth.
The Japanese army's fierce artillery fire covered Guandaoling, but Fang Yun personally commanded, the 101st Division organized the defense in an orderly manner, and for a time the two sides showed a balanced situation, although the Japanese army attacked frantically regardless of losses, but the 101st Division relied on the favorable terrain to counterattack, and the Japanese army could not advance.
The battle lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon, and after the Harumaka Division joined the attack on Guandaoling, Zheng Ming's 101st Division began to suffer heavy casualties, and although the Japanese casualties were even greater, Yoshioka Tatsuno seemed to be going to eliminate the new 1st Army and two senior generals on Guandaoling at all costs.
Seeing that victory was coming, Yoshioka Tatsuno was very excited, and at this time, the signal corps came to report that the Oyama Ridge Wood Division was about to be unable to resist and asked for assistance. Now is the critical moment, where to draw reinforcements, he said with a calm face: "Let Weishan Lingmu take out the appearance of an imperial warrior, no matter what, it will hold on for another three hours!" ”
Qiao Xinyu and Shen Yushan received Diao Yongyun's request to launch a general attack on the annihilation of the Weishan Division, Qiao Xinyu and Shen Yushan discussed, and asked the signal corps to send a message to Diao Yongyun to temporarily maintain the situation, and then launch a general attack at 6 o'clock in the afternoon.
Diao Yongyun was a little puzzled after receiving the order, seeing Yun Dong nodding with a smile, he couldn't help but ask: "Fourth, what do you mean by the political commissar and the chief of staff?" ”
"Big brother, the political commissar and the chief of staff want to play big, eat these three divisions in one go, if my guess is right, it's time for a full-scale counterattack at night." Yun Dong saw that Diao Yongyun seemed to have doubts, he walked to the map and pointed to Guandaoling: "Big brother, the three verticals and three perimeters do not only refer to the three columns participating in the battle, our five columns are on the west side of Guandaoling, one column is in Guandaoling, and the second column is on the east side, and the three columns are distributed vertically in three directions, and the political commissar and chief of staff use themselves as bait to win opportunities for us and the second column on both sides to annihilate the Oyama Division and the Qinglong Division on the periphery of the Japanese army. ”
Diao Yongyun suddenly realized, "When we delay the general attack, we should do a good job of covering the second column attack." I'm just a little worried that there is only one division of 101 over there, and the Japanese army has two divisions attacking, and if they can't hold it, then the commissar and the chief of staff will be in danger. ”
Yun Dong said with a smile: "Big brother, the combat effectiveness of our new army is not what it used to be, and one of our divisions is fighting head-on with the two divisions of the Japanese army, so it should be able to stalemate, not to mention the topography advantage of Guandaoling." I think the commissar and chief of staff must have made the 101st Division have reservations, and when we launch a general offensive, it should be the time for a large force to counterattack. ”
"Haha, the fourth man has a good analysis, it should be like this, I think Commander Tang must take the troops where to sleep, and we also let the soldiers take turns to attack, save their physical strength to deal with the general attack at night, but they can't fall behind the second column."
