Chapter 156: Heavy damage to the 106th Division
The two devil infantry brigades quickly moved towards Qin Tian's position, and when they reached the halfway point, they were each ambushed by two regiments of the Guo army, and the situation was almost the same on both sides.
An infantry brigade of the 106th Division is only about 1,000 people due to damage, while the Guo army sent out all full regiments, one regiment is about 1,500 people, and two regiments are 3,000 people, which is three times the strength of the devil to ambush.
The firepower of the fruit army is very fierce, because it is only a devil infantry brigade, and some heavy weapons did not follow, so in this way, the firepower of the devil is not as fierce as the fruit army.
Soon the two devil brigades were a little unable to resist and called for support from their own wings, and after receiving the news, Major General Seiichi Aoki, the commander of the 136th Brigade, immediately ordered the 145th and 147th Wings to immediately send another infantry brigade to support, and also reported the situation to Junrokuro Matsuura.
Just after the departure of the two infantry brigades of the 113 and 123 teams, Junrokuro Matsuura ordered the rest of the troops to advance! At this time, the sniper on the opposite side didn't care anymore.
The two brigades of the 145th Wing and the 147th Wing quickly advanced to support, and at this time, according to the plan, the six regiments of the Guo Army launched a fierce attack on the 145th and 147th Wings from the front, and at this time there was less than one infantry brigade left in the two wings, plus other baggage troops, and some field artillery wings, etc., together with the strength of less than two brigades.
The division commander felt that his side should also attack, so he immediately asked the 113th and 123rd Wings to send an infantry brigade to support the two wings, because this was the first attack of the opposite Guo army, and judging by the firepower, there were two regiments on each side, and if these four regiments could be eaten, then the next attack might be much easier.
Junrokuro Matsuura didn't even think about whether this was a good thing or not, because he was very confident in his army like the other devil commanders, and he felt that this was an opportunity.
The two infantry battalions of the 113th and 123rd Wings were just about to separate on the two flanks, and the artillery of the Fruit Army began to bombard violently, until Junrokuro Matsuura's troops rushed over and continued to bombard.
"General! The 145th and 147th wings were attacked by the Chinese army! They can't hold on! Kenju Iino, Wing Commander of the 113th Wing, said,
The brigade commander Aoki Seiyi felt bad, and immediately recalled the two brigades that had just been sent back to defend and support, and when they retreated, the other two regiments arranged by Li Hansoul had already outflanked the two wings of the 145 first infantry brigade, while Qin Tian was with the Qingtian Army, and Si Wen led the three hundred special escorts to kill the first infantry brigade sent by the 147th Wing.
Remember https://m in a second
Qin Tian knew that it was impossible to completely annihilate the 106th Division, so he decided to bite them hard first, as many as he could, he took snipers to snipe deeply, and the 145 and 147 wings were on both wings, if nothing else, Songpu would definitely use the tactics of encirclement and outflanking, and Qin Tian was ready to annihilate them no matter how many troops he sent.
When the 112th and 123rd Wings arrived at the support site, the two infantry brigades sent by the 145th and 147th for the first time had already turned into corpses, and when they rushed to support the 145th and 147th Wings, they encountered the retreating two wings halfway.
At this time, the Guo army had already withdrawn to its position, and Qin Tian and they also returned triumphantly, it turned out that Li Hansoul's fight against the 145 and 147 wings according to Qin Tian was a fake fight, and the real purpose was to eliminate the Japanese army that had outflanked them in a roundabout way, because Qin Tian knew that these two devil teams would not be too many.
Junrokuro Matsuura looked at the map, judging from the intelligence summarized from all sides, the Guo army on the opposite side changed their tactics in the past, this time they actually killed their positions, which was originally a good thing for the 106th Division, but now their two wings have been divided, two of the infantry brigades have been surrounded, and now they are organizing a breakthrough, and the 145th Wing and the 147th Wing are not in a good situation now, and if they want to go to support, they need to brave the artillery fire to rush over or make a detour.
"Take a detour to help!" Junrokuro Matsuura gave the order,
"What about the casualties of the devil wings on both flanks?"
"At least one brigade has been wiped out!" Li Hansoul also estimated from the report, in fact, the casualties of the fruit army and the Japanese army were about the same.
Sure enough, Qin Tian expected that the devils sent by the two sides together were less than two thousand, and they were surrounded and annihilated by nearly eight thousand fruit troops, but this time the blow to the 106th Division was huge, because the fake fight on both wings also caused certain losses to the 136th Brigade.
"Brother Qin! This time, the 106th Division was greatly injured! I think it's going to be hard for them to organise an attack again in a short period of time! Li Han's soul won the big victory and said happily,
"General Lee! I'm afraid the 106th Division will have to be repaired for a few days! But we can't take it lightly, because didn't it say that the 101st Division was rushing over? Qin Tian said,
"Brother Qin, don't worry! The 101st Division has been intercepted by the eighteenth! ”
"That means that this battle wiped out at least one wing of devils!" Qin Tian asked,
"Nothing more, no less!"
"General Lee! Fix your position! Let's go to the front and see the situation of the 106th Division! "Qin Tian plans to take a good look at the 106th Division, because now this division has basically been crippled, and it is estimated that it will need to replenish the troops if it wants to fight again.
"Isn't that too dangerous!?" Li Hansoul asked,
"Stopped!?"
"I just received a telegram that the 101st Division has been stopped in the area of Niutou Mountain! They won't be able to make it over for the time being! ”
"Don't worry! I just wanted to scout what they're doing right now! ”
"Then I wish Brother Qin success! Come back safely! ”
"We're not going to get close to the army of devils! Just want to see how the 106th Division is deployed now! ”
"Brother Qin, the 106th Division was not full in the first place, they were beaten by our 3rd and 19th Divisions before, and suffered a lot of casualties, and it is said that they also killed one of their wing commanders! This time, we lost at least one wing again! I estimate that they have less than half of their combatants! But even so, they still have at least two wings of troops, so don't be reckless! "Li Hansoul is worried that Qin Tian's brain is hot and he will carry out a sneak attack, in that case, they will have no return.
In this battle, their two wings did not suffer much losses, but more than 350 soldiers and officers were sniped by snipers, and they had never fought such a humiliating battle! It also questioned Junrokuro Matsuura's command ability.
Also very depressed is Major General Seiichi Aoki, and the captain of the 145th Wing, Nozoku Ikeda, is also complaining to him, and none of his third brigade has come back in this battle!
Qin Tian asked Si Wen and Tan Xue to wait for news with the team, and he took all the snipers and a combat team of fifty people to chase after the retreating 106th Division.
The captain of the 113th Wing, Ken Iino and the captain of the 123rd Wing, Kijima Kasoyoshi Osa, complained to each other in frustration.
Qin Tian took people to reconnoiter around, and found that the devil troops were much more tightly defended because of the big losses, and the places where they were stationed were all in relatively open areas, so they had no chance to get close at all.
Qin Tian didn't plan to do anything, so when he left, he sniped some devil soldiers and quickly retreated, and when he saw General Li Hansoul again, he learned that Xue Yue, the commander of the First Corps, had already known about this victory, and also knew about Qin Tian and others, and gave him a reward, and hoped to meet them.
Junrokuro Matsuura, who was also depressed, sent a telegram to Miyazaki, the commander of the Operations Division of the Eleventh Army, that the combat effectiveness of the division was seriously insufficient, and he asked for reinforcements.
When he heard that there were more than 40 snipers on the other side, Okamura Ninji ordered the field artillery wing of the 27th Division to support the 106th Division, and agreed to immediately replenish Matsuura with 3,000 fighters.
"Let's rest for two days and see the situation on the side of the 101st Division!" Qin Tian has been trying his best to recall some details of the Battle of Wuhan these days, and now in mid-August, Ruichang is about to fall, and a very important part of the battlefield changes here is the Maruyama detachment of Major General Maruyama Masao, originally his task of this detachment was to continue to advance westward after capturing Ruichang, but this person saw that the 101st and 106th divisions were difficult to move an inch and killed them, which disrupted the deployment of Xue Yue's first corps, and it was a series of defeats and retreats.
Qin Tian wondered if he could prevent this incident from happening, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he should not be able to stop it, because once he stopped it, it was likely that there would be no subsequent victory in Wanjialing.
But Qin Tian refused, because although he respected these famous anti-Japanese generals, he didn't want to have too much to do with them.
Seeing Qin Tian thinking about things alone, Yuan Lang came over and asked, "Big brother!" This 106th Division will not be able to slow down for a while, what should we do next? ”
"It's done! You've been involved in the battle since you detected the Devil Secret Service! This time, he made another plan to destroy more than 2,000 Japanese troops! So this task of yours is done! ”
"It's not appropriate to leave just now!" Qin Tian said,
"Congratulations to the hosts! Complete missions to participate in major battles! The voice of the system suddenly sounded,
"Huh!? Is this done? Qin Tian didn't realize what he had done and asked,
"Behind enemy lines, of course! If you want to know where it is best, exchange it with merit points! ”
"How much!?"
"I'm just telling you that the mission is done, and it's up to you to stay or stay! But I want to remind you that it's not so easy to build your own base, and you still have to hurry! ”
"System! Where is the best place for me to set up a base? ”
"Great price! 10,000 merit points! ”
"Ahh 10,000 merit points!? ”
"What are you doing with so much merit! Use! ”
"Alright! Give you a thousand merit points! Go ahead! "Qin Tian wants to exchange because he doesn't know how to establish a base at all, let alone where to establish the best place.
"It's better to be in a mountainous area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack! And it has to be easy for you to move! I sifted it out! There are three places that are more suitable! Think about it! ”
