Major General Hiroshi Miura, commander of a brigade of a division of the Japanese army, was directing the battle from a stronghold north of Hon Hai Road.

Hon Hai Road, the north and south sides, is imprisoned by more than 20,000 Chinese prisoners of war and young and strong Chinese civilians who may resist.

To the south, the commander of the Yamada Brigade is in charge, and to the north, it is Major General Hiroshi Miura.

The commander of the division himself, the headquarters is still in Tangshan, east of Jinling City, dozens of miles away.

Major General Miura was surprised to find that after nightfall, it was besieged by Chinese troops, which was unimaginable.

Didn't the Chinese army collapse?

They're embarrassed! Heavy casualties.

Some of them fled in the southeast direction of the city and broke through head-on, which was a miscellaneous army such as the Cantonese army, and they fled, and part of the main force of the descendant army, on wooden boats and small steamers, escaped at night, and some of them fled to the Yangtze River and were drowned alive!

The vast majority of the elite army of the so-called Nationalist Government collapsed.

The officials fled, went into hiding, or fled in disguise, and the troops were scattered, and they also dropped their weapons and ammunition, took off their military uniforms, and pretended to be a group of ordinary people, blended into the citizens, and flew into thousands of households.

Clumsy command, incompetent system, all kinds of sloppiness, such a force does not collapse, there is really no heavenly reason!

However, why are Chinese monoclonal antibodies becoming more and more intense these days?

It's weird.

The arrested people confessed one after another that they were soldiers, and they could even confess the number and the location where the weapons and ammunition were discarded.

According to the statistics of the Japanese troops in the city, at least 150,000 people were arrested, plus the tens of thousands killed when they entered the city, it should be said that the Chinese army and police, other militia groups, community forces, including the boy scouts, were all crushed!

In his incomprehension, Major General Miura did not understand at all that a large number of liberated Chinese prisoners of war were becoming the main force in the War of Resistance.

In order to ensure morale and face, the Japanese army never reported the real battle situation on the front line to other units.

So far, Major General Miura knows far less than the Chinese officers and citizens know.

Lost contact in the south!

Let me call Major General Yamada repeatedly, but there was no result, and I sent personnel over, but there was no news, and it was not possible to send a telegram.

Some junior officers told him that before, they had seen the main force of the 1st Infantry Wing of the Chinese army besieging the Yamada Brigade, and the battle was not fierce, but later, they suddenly heard the Chinese troops shouting indiscriminately.

So, he sent a new unit, a reconnaissance infantry squad of more than fifty people!

As a result, these people quickly returned.

Only a dozen came back, and the rest, all of them were wiped out by the Chinese army!

"The Western Barracks and POW Camp in the south of Hon Hai Road have fallen? General Yamada's whereabouts unknown? Miura was taken aback.

Someone came to report that there were also some very simple battles in the garrison on the east side of Hon Hai Road, and that reinforcements and investigations were needed.

Miura refused, he believed that Kurita Nakasa, an excellent imperial officer over there, with excellent command ability and tenacious fighting spirit, an infantry brigade, plus some baggage soldiers and engineers in the attached territory, could easily defeat a division of the Chinese army!

However, when someone reported here that he heard a large number of Chinese shouting there, Miura thought that Kurita Nakasa couldn't help but be angry and took action against the prisoners of war.

"They're killing the enemy! We also need to act immediately, yes, after the enemy siege has been completely crushed. ”

Kosu Miura immediately studied his combat command.

On the map, based on the intelligence of the staff officer, he quickly drew out the main points, the intertwined positions of the enemy and the enemy, and assessed the enemy's position and strength.

"Frontal enemy, the northern road, there is only one regiment! More than 3,000 people, to the south, the enemy is estimated to be more than one regiment, and if the enemy crushes Yamada's troops, then the strength will not be increased, because General Yamada will sensibly kill all the prisoners of war, and the Shina people will get nothing. ”

"It is impossible for the southern Chinese army to flank us, the quality of their troops and the ability of their officers are very low! Moreover, after the hard battle, the consumption is extremely great, and it has collapsed! ”

"The battle on the eastern front of the southern foot is so slight, it must be a small group of harassing troops of the enemy, sniped by Kurita Nakasa!"

"Now, we are going to attack the enemy on the northern road with all our hearts!"

After explaining the main points, Major General Miura and his staff officers quickly formulated a series of battle plans.

Under his command, there really is an infantry wing, in the area of five square kilometers around the Ruitai building, plus some cavalry and engineers, with a total strength of more than five thousand people!

To the east, there was also an infantry brigade of Shimura Shosa, and the first brigade of Kinoshita Nakasa's baggage wing.

In this way, in the north and south of Hon Hai Road, the Japanese army stationed elite troops of a division, about half of the two brigades, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people.

An army of more than 10,000 people can be crushed by the Chinese army overnight?

Joke!

Major General Miura decided that tonight, he would surprise the Chinese and destroy the Chinese army in the north first.

"A rabble, some militia, some guerrillas."

General Miura encouraged himself and gave the order to fight.

An infantry brigade, split up to form a ring of defense, resisted the attack of the Chinese army, and sent Narumiya Nakasa, leading an infantry brigade, to advance northward, crushing the Chinese army. Because, due north, it is estimated that it is the core area of the Chinese army.

Daida Shaoza, led a detachment, two infantry squadrons, a cavalry squad, and an artillery squad to attack from the northwest direction, and Yanagi Shaozo, led a detachment and two infantry squadrons to attack from the northeast direction, so as to form a posture of outflanking and attacking the three-way army, and completely annihilating the Chinese army in one go.

"It's so hateful, it refuses to finish like a dog's skin plaster!"

General Miura was very satisfied with his battle plan and, by the way, insulted the Chinese troops.

Orders were given quickly, mainly by phone, which was very convenient.

In the microphone of the telephone, there were a few high-spirited answers from the middle and young people.

At the brigade headquarters, there was also the wing commander of the 1st Infantry Wing, Furukawa Kumayi Daisa, who was also seriously satisfied with the brigade commander's plan: "General, I estimate that it will only take an hour to completely annihilate the Chinese army!" ”

General Miura nodded, "It only takes an hour on the north road, and an hour on the south side, and we can rest in peace, no, we can free up our hands." Kill all the more than 10,000 Chinese prisoners who were detained, and now, the superiors no longer need to verify the data, these Chinese people are all hidden dangers! ”

"Hayi!"

The Japanese troops made rapid sorties at night.

In the darkness, there were many ghosts, except for the troops of Narumiya Nakasa, who attacked head-on, and bombarded the positions of the Chinese army with mortars and grenadiers, the rest of the troops were sneaking in the silent darkness.

General Miura and Furukawa Osa personally stood on the top of the 14th floor of the Ruitai Building, watching the moment of imminent victory with binoculars.
