Chapter 273: Unwilling devils, chase after them!
An hour later.
The two old devils, Ryosuke Yoshika and Toshio Tani, returned to the heavy artillery position.
When I saw that the position had been blown black, there were dense craters everywhere.
At the edge or bottom of these craters are also scattered with a large number of gun mounts, as well as various parts of heavy artillery.
The huge and mighty barrels of the guns were all twisted into twists, without exception.
In addition, there are also a large number of parts of military cars scattered on the position, as well as countless corpses of devil soldiers.
Seeing this scene, both Ryosuke Yoshika and Toshio Tani knew that the Heavy Artillery Wing was completely finished!
The entire heavy artillery wing, a total of 36 heavy howitzers of 150mm caliber, was reduced to nothing.
Gu Shoufu couldn't help but see a black eye, and almost fainted.
This is a field heavy artillery wing, a vital strategic force in the mouth of the Imperial Japanese Army!
"Yaga! This goddamn Yang Jing, damn Yang Jing! His conscience is so bad! ”
At this time, his chief of staff, Shimono Kazuhuo, walked over from the side with an extremely solemn face: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the battle losses of the field heavy artillery wing have been counted!" Of the 36 150mm heavy howitzers, 23 were completely destroyed, 9 were severely damaged, and only 4 were lightly damaged.
But it also needs to be repaired by shipping parts from within the country.
In addition, artillery shells were lost, and all 55 military trucks were destroyed.
About 2,300 casualties! ”
"Yaga!" Gu Shoufu suppressed for a moment, and finally broke out completely: "So, the heavy artillery wing actually no longer exists?" ”
"Hello!" Shimono ichi paused and replied, "In terms of equipment, the heavy artillery wing can indeed revoke the number. ”
"Yaga!" Gu Shoufu gritted his back molars again and said, "Do you know the whereabouts of the Tiger Bentuan?" ”
Shimono Kazuho bowed his head and said: "Due to the attack on the heavy artillery position, all the main forces have stopped the pursuit and rushed back for reinforcements.
Moreover, when they returned, the Tiger Regiment that attacked the heavy artillery position had all been withdrawn.
Therefore, it is not clear the specific location of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army.
However, it can be concluded that the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army has fled to the southwest! ”
"Southwest?" Ji Jia Ryosuke on the side muttered to himself, and immediately took a map from the hand of a staff adjutant next to him, glanced at it briefly, and then said, "Yaga! Fuyang can't escape 300 miles to the southwest, and it is the remaining vein of Dabie Mountain! Yang Jing's conspiracy must not be allowed to succeed!
Otherwise, once we let the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army run into the deep mountains of Dabie, we want to exterminate it again, but it will not be so easy! ”
The chief of staff of the 9th Division, Nakagawa Hiroshi, heard the sound and hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, can't!" Although the battle losses in this battle have not been counted, it is roughly estimated that the total casualties of our two divisions and all branches of the army together exceeded at least 15,000 people!
Moreover, the terrain of Dabie Mountain is extremely complicated, with Yang Jing's treachery, if he pursues it forcibly, he may fall for their tricks!
Moreover, our main target is the hundreds of thousands of defeated troops in the 5th Theater of the Chinese Army, as well as the entire Central Plains.
Therefore, there is no need to continue to compete with the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army and waste energy! ”
Ji Jia Ryosuke said with a gloomy face: "In this battle, although we did not wipe out the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army, we have already inflicted heavy losses on it, and it is the best time to completely destroy it!"
Otherwise, if we sit idly by and let the tiger group of the Zhina army escape, wouldn't that be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain? ”
After a pause, Ji Jia Ryosuke said again: "Moreover, both the front army headquarters and the base camp have said that the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army is already the top henchman of the empire!"
Let's just find an opportunity to annihilate it at all costs! ”
When he said this, Ryosuke Yoshika was looking at Gu Shoufu.
At that moment, Gu Shoufu continued: "What Ji Jiajun said is extremely true, if we let the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army go unattended now, once we let it survive, the tens of thousands of imperial warriors of the 6th Division of our Imperial Army and your 9th Division will die in vain!"
Not only that, but if you want to destroy the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Shina Army in the future, you will inevitably have to pay a higher price!
Moreover, at this time, in order to break out of the encirclement, the Tiger Ben Regiment discarded almost all heavy weapons.
Now is the time when they are at their weakest, as long as they are not given the time and opportunity to replenish their personnel and replenish their ammunition!
Then they are a toothless tiger, and there is nothing to be afraid of!
What's more, even if the casualties of our two divisions exceeded 15,000 people, in terms of troops, they were still more than 10 times that of the Tiger Regiment of the Chinese Army!
Weapons and equipment, air and ground artillery power, our imperial army occupies an absolute advantage! ”
If you want to talk about the hatred for the Tiger Bentuan, Gu Shoufu is definitely only deeper than Yoshika Ryosuke, not less than him.
When he saw the annihilation of the heavy artillery wing, Gu Shoufu silently made up his mind in his heart that he must annihilate all the Tiger Regiment!
He was even worried that Ryosuke Yoshika would not give up the pursuit of the Tiger Bun.
Now that he heard that the other party was also interested in pursuing, he naturally did not hesitate to speak out in support!
Nakagawa Hiroshi said again: "Your Excellency the two division commanders, then should we report the situation to the front army headquarters?" ”
"Hmm!"
This battle, although it was a huge shame for Ryosuke Yoshika and Gu Shoufu who were unwilling to mention it, they did not dare to hide it or report it.
Because the longer it drags on, the greater their guilt.
Unless they can wipe out the Tiger Bunch before it is revealed.
However, the intelligence network of the special high school has already spread all over the place, and even if they don't report it, it won't be long before the special high school will report this information.
Therefore, after a brief discussion, the two old devils, Ryosuke Yoshika and Toshio Tani, agreed to Hiroshi Nakagawa's proposal.
At the same time, in order to grasp the whereabouts of the Tiger Ben Regiment as soon as possible, when cleaning up the battlefield, these two old devils each sent several elite reconnaissance troops to pursue Yang Jing and their retreat in the past.
And asked the command to dispatch reconnaissance aircraft to provide tactical guidance.
……
The picture pulls to Jinling.
Headquarters of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army.
At this time, it was already half past five in the morning, and the commander Shunroku Hata was defeated and retreated one after another because the Japanese army in Central China had been breaking through all the way, killing hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops in the Fifth War Zone.
and the empire's top henchmen, the Tiger Ben Regiment, have now been besieged by the 9th and 6th Divisions in a small Fuyang City, and it is impossible to escape.
So I'm in a good mood!
So the old devil got up early in the morning.
However, as soon as he arrived at his office, before his butt was hot, a communications staff officer on duty hurriedly walked through the corridor and walked over.
"Report to Your Excellency, Commander! Fuyang Emergency! ”
Hata Junroku was overjoyed, and said secretly, could it be that the 9th and 6th divisions of the Imperial Army have already destroyed the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army?
It shouldn't be!
Now that the sky has just brightened, the aviation has not yet taken off, and the 9th and 6th divisions should not have launched an attack on the Tiger Regiment.
Moreover, Shunroku Hata quickly noticed that the communication staff officer's face was abnormal, and immediately realized that something was wrong.
As soon as he took the telegram from the hand of the communications staff officer, he only glanced at it, and his face became gloomy: "Baga! Eater! Idiot, Ryosuke Yoshika and Toshio Tani are really two useless stupid pigs! ”
At this time, the chief of staff, Major General Masao Kawabe, came over from outside, and just happened to hear Shunroku Hatata's angry roar, and couldn't help but wonder: "Your Excellency, commander, what's wrong?" ”
"See for yourself!"
After Shunroku Hata finished speaking, he leaned forward with his right hand holding the message.
Kawabe Shozo immediately turned three steps into two steps, stepped forward and took the message.
"How is this possible?" With just one glance, Kawabe Shozo's face was as ugly as eating, and he finally knew why Shunroku Hata was so angry.
Gather two elite armor divisions, with a total of more than 50,000 troops, to encircle and suppress a disqualified Tiger Regiment.
Not to mention that he successfully broke through and escaped, he actually paid such a painful price, and even strategic troops such as the heavy artillery wing were annihilated by it.
Can Shunroku Hata not be angry?
Kawabe Shozo quickly finished reading the message, and immediately looked up and said, "Your Excellency, commander, I don't know what you plan?" ”
Hata Junliu smashed his fist on the solid wood desk in front of him, and his face was gloomy like water: "The original task of the 9th and 6th divisions of the imperial army is to take Zhoukou, so as to move westward along the Longhai line, occupy Luohe, Zhengzhou, Luoyang, and Xuchang and other important towns in the Central Plains, and cut off the Pinghan railway line!"
In cooperation with the main forces of the two major fronts of the Imperial Army in North China and Central China, the first theater of the Chinese Army and part of the main forces of the fifth theater that withdrew into the Central Plains were completely annihilated in the area south of the Yellow River, at the intersection of the Longhai Railway and the Pinghan Railway.
Then occupy the entire Central Plains region, and prepare for the southward attack on the Lianghu region and the complete destruction of the entire China!
Now, the 9th Division and the 6th Division have been delayed in Fuyang for enough time to continue to delay! ”
Kawabe Shozo stopped him loudly: "Your Excellency Commander, don't!"
First of all, the Tiger Regiment of the Shina Army has long been the top confidant of our Great Japanese Empire, and as long as [567 Chinese] is annihilated, its combat achievements are no less than the annihilation of the 100,000 or so Central Army.
This point has been confirmed in the previous Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Jinling, and the Battle of Xuzhou.
It can be said that more than two-thirds of the casualties of the imperial army are directly or indirectly related to this tiger group!
As long as the Tiger Ben Regiment is successfully annihilated, it will be extremely beneficial for the entire strategic situation!
Moreover, if we don't seize this opportunity now, it will be difficult to destroy it in the future!
And if we let it go and go west, there is such a tiger army behind it.
For the imperial army, it is like a man's back and a fish in the throat!
Just in case, you have to leave enough troops to garrison.
And every time a city is captured in the future, a corresponding garrison must be left behind.
In this way, even if we finally hit Xuchang, how many troops can we use on the frontal battlefield?
And once the main force of the Chinese army wants to break through, what will we do to stop the hundreds of thousands of elites of the Central Army?
Therefore, I believe that the choice of Ji Jiajun and Gu Shoujun is undoubtedly the most correct at the moment! ”
Among them, Kawabe Shozo actually has a little selfishness, that is, his guard reconnaissance brigade was destroyed by the Tiger Ben Regiment, and his right-hand man Iotaro Kameda also died in the hands of Yang Jing.
He can't help but avenge this revenge!
After pondering for a moment, Shunroku Hata finally accepted Kawabe Shozo's proposal, and then discussed with Kawabe Shozo to transfer a group of no less than 3,000 elite troops.
From Fuyang to Zhoukou, and then rushed to the Luohe River, first cut off the Pinghan Railway, cut off the Chinese army gathered along the Longhai Railway, and the way for the army to flee south.
At the same time, it also cut off one of their material supply routes, disrupted their deployment, and bought enough time for the main force of the Japanese army!
……
The picture is pulled to Fuyang.
After receiving the reply of Shunroku Hatata, the commander of the front army, the two old devils, Ryosuke Yoshika and Toshio Tani, quickly made arrangements.
A reorganized infantry wing was transferred from the 6th Division, with a part of the tanks, to advance westward from Fuyang, first attack Zhoukou, and then take Luohe!
As for the other main forces, the whole army was dispatched and pounced on the area of Funan, intending to take advantage of the situation to pursue and completely annihilate the Tiger Regiment.
