Chapter 194: Recovering the Lost Ground
After defeating the Tiangu detachment, Ye Lei continued to lead his troops to advance westward, sweeping the Japanese invaders, and cooperated with other troops to advance north to regain lost territory.
The 3rd Division and the 11th Division of the Japanese Army were defeated on the southern front. It's like a dam, where one breach causes the entire dam to burst.
Chen Cheng sat in the command headquarters and constantly dispatched troops. This was a sudden warplane, and he had to take advantage of it and try to regain the lost ground before the Japanese army arrived.
The 4th Division of the 90th Army continued its attack to the north. The division was extremely brave, and the 540th Regiment was after recovering Li's house, Xima's house, Guijiadian and Jincun. At 3 a.m., the 535th Regiment crossed the river and captured Zhu's house and Zhang's house. The 540th Regiment continued to launch an offensive to the north, capturing Gong's house and Zhou's house one after another.
In order to cooperate with the 90th Division, the 59th Division organized troops to counterattack the Japanese army.
The 159th and 160th Divisions of the 66th Army derived to the north, attacked the Japanese defense line of Liujiahe southeast of Luodian, and approached Luodian.
In the early morning, all the troops of the Northern Front advanced northward to regain the area occupied by the Japanese since September 12.
The East China Dispatch Army Command was very excited when Matsui Shigen learned about the battle situation ahead, and he couldn't even believe it. The two divisions fought hard for a week, but the results were wasted overnight.
Matsui Shigen immediately made arrangements, ordered all units to shrink their defenses, strictly defend to the death, consolidate the southwest defense line in the Baoshan area, and wait for the arrival of the 101st Division, the 9th Division, and the 13th Division.
Shinjiro Amaya personally went to the headquarters to plead guilty, and the source of this defeat was his own 22nd Wing, which finally led to a chain reaction that led to the collapse of the entire front.
"Your Excellency, Commander, my subordinates are very sorry and are willing to accept any punishment."
In front of Matsui Ishone, Tiangu bowed his head and felt extremely ashamed.
All the high-ranking officers of the devil in the command looked at Shinjiro Amaya, and waited for the result of the commander's disposition.
Matsui Ishine was angry in his heart, but as a general, he must know how to be restrained, he patted Tiangu and sighed: "I plan to wait for the end of the war to let the 11th Division return to China as the local Guards Division." ”
Tiangu raised his head and said, "Your Excellency Commander, this is my fault alone, please don't be angry with the entire division." ”
The 11th Division had just arrived in Songhu, and it was a great shame to return to China so soon. The Japanese army paid more attention to the honor of soldiers than the national army, and they could only get honor on the battlefield. When the Guards Division is a watchdog in the eyes of others, because only the best troops can go to the battlefield.
Matsui Ishine had made up his mind, not only the Tiangu detachment, but the entire 11th Division called himself disappointed. As for the culprit, Matsuyama Daisa, was abandoned by the 11th Division and left on the Chinese battlefield, and went to other divisions to be demoted.
At this time, the 1st Army received an order to withdraw to the rear for replenishment. In this counterattack operation, troops from the Left Wing Army and the Central Route Army participated in the operation, which further highlighted the problem of chaotic organization. The Third Theater decided to reorganize the march of various units and effectively command the local troops.
Ye Lei received an order to return to the defense line of the Wang family's house.
"We're leaving. After receiving the order of the division headquarters, he immediately returned to the building. ”
The 1st Army was withdrawn, and Chen Yunfan's reinforcement task had been completed, and he said goodbye to Ye Lei on the position.
Ye Lei smiled: "You can't wait to bring those twelve mountain cannons to invite merit, it is your virtue that the poor get rich."
"Ashamed~" Chen Yunfan looked at the scorched earth position in the distance, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Although he has been with Ye Lei for a short time, he is still a little reluctant. Last night, I marched all the way and swept through thousands of armies, and such a hearty battle may never be encountered in my life.
"Don't talk about it." Chen Yunfan patted Ye Lei and said, "Brother, take care." I hope that in the future, you and I can fight side by side again and kill devils together. ”
Ye Lei saluted and said, "There will be a chance, take care."
Chen Yunfan returned the military salute, turned around and left with his troops.
The Songhu battlefield is not very big, and Ye Lei believes that they will meet again one day.
"Captain."
Li Hong shouted in the team, Ye Lei understood what he meant, so he said: "Li Hu, take someone to the field hospital to pick up our wounded, it's time to go home."
"Yes!"
Li Hu led people away, leaving Li Hong alone.
Ye Lei took a hard breath and said, "You give me a headache, you know?" I've never had such a headache in a war. ”
"I know. When I got back, I left the special operations team and went back to my unit. ”
"Did I tell you to leave?" Ye Lei looked away and said, "Although I said that it is still in the selection stage, after so many battles, each of you is my brother." In fact, everyone was qualified when they were in the prisoner of war camp, but the special forces are not as simple as you think, and some people are destined to be eliminated. However, among you, I am most optimistic about you, Li Hong and Li Hu. ”
"Captain......
"Let me finish my sentence."
Ye Lei looked at Li Hong and said, "I am more optimistic about you and Li Hu." When the Wangjiazhai blocked the battle, you defended the best, and the deployment of troops was very reasonable. But Li Hu disappointed me very much, if he hadn't left Li Youmei without permission, he might not have sacrificed. Li Hong, for soldiers, the country always comes first. ”
Li Hong was ashamed and said: "I'm sorry, but ......"
Ye Lei interrupted again: "I appreciate your affection and righteousness. I'm going to go to the division headquarters now to explain, and I'll get your cousin over. ”
Li Hong looked at Ye Lei, with an indescribable sense of gratitude in his heart, and he saluted Ye Lei to show his gratitude.
Ye Lei came to the headquarters of the 1st Division. The 1st Army was ready to move, and the division headquarters was somewhat disorganized.
Li Tiejun saw Ye Lei, so he put down what he was doing and stepped forward, patted Ye Lei hard with both hands, and said excitedly: "Last night's battle was good!" I've asked for credit to the Third Theater of Operations. Our army commander wanted to meet you, but he was called by headquarters for an emergency operations meeting. He asked me to convey his gratitude to you. ”
Ye Lei said: "We are all Chinese soldiers, what is there to thank."
"You have won the honor of our First Army, if you want anything to help in the future, just say it."
"We're going back to Zhabei soon, and we really need Master Li's help."
"What's the matter, don't be afraid to say it directly."
Ye Lei said: "I want to be alone." It was one of the nurses who was captured by the 2nd Battalion of the 703rd Regiment last night. ”
"Nurse, is she special?"
"Can I not answer?"
Li Tiejun said: "Okay, no problem. Tell me her name, and I'll have someone send it to you at once. ”
"Thank you."
Ye Lei saluted, and then explained and left the division headquarters.
Return to the 4 regimental defense area. In an open field, the remaining more than 200 soldiers of the 4th Regiment were lined up, and the special combat team stood in front of the team carrying five wounded.
"Salute!"
Seeing Ye Lei coming, a captain shouted loudly. Everyone saluted Ye Lei with a "huh~" to show their respect.
Ye Lei came to the front of the team to salute the military salute, and the captain shouted: "Finish the salute!"
The 4th regiment is about to leave, and Ye Lei is leaving. They experienced a bloody battle together for a day and a night, and they were already comrades-in-arms and brothers.
This is the moment of separation, Ye Lei said: "You are the best soldiers I have ever seen, and I feel honored to be able to fight side by side with you!" The war has just begun, and I believe that one day in the future, we will fight side by side against foreign enemies! ”
The captain from before stepped forward and saluted, "Sir Ye, we're leaving, take care!" Where do you not meet in life, see you on the battlefield in the future! ”
Ye Lei returned the military salute and said, "It will definitely be, you guys take care." ”
The captain turned to his troops and ordered in a loud voice: "Turn left!" Let's go! ”
With a sound of "Huh~", more than 200 people turned left together and ran away from the battlefield for which they shed blood and sacrificed, and more than 600 martyrs will be buried in this land.
Li Hu stepped forward and said, "Captain, when are we leaving?"
Ye Lei said: "I'm waiting."
Not long after, two soldiers escorted Li Hong's cousin over.
The nurse was very excited when she saw Li Hong, and rushed over desperately, hugging Li Hong tightly.
"Li Hongjun, I finally see you!"
"Let go, let go."
Li Hong pushed it away hard, but the nurse hugged it so hard that she couldn't push it away.
Everyone looked at this surprised scene, and the two soldiers seemed to understand something, and saluted Ye Lei: "Sir Ye, we have handed over the people to you, and now we have to go back to restore our lives."
Ye Lei returned the military salute and said, "Thank you."
The two soldiers turned to leave. Ye Lei knew what they were thinking in their hearts, and felt that they were pretending to be public and private, but there are many things in the world that can be given up.
"I'm home."
Ye Lei turned around and shouted at everyone, and then walked towards Zhabei by himself regardless of the people behind him.
In the Songhu battlefield, because of the counteroffensive of the national army, the original lost ground was regained, and the first phase of the second phase (stalemate) of the Songhu Battle officially ended.
From the 12th to the 21st, the two divisions of the Japanese army fought continuously for several days, not only suffering heavy losses, but also making no progress. In view of the expansion of the troops participating in the battle, the Third Theater will begin to reorganize in order to facilitate command.
With the arrival of local troops one after another, as well as the addition of the Japanese 101st Division, 9th Division, and 13th Division, the Battle of Songhu entered a climax. 700,000 national troops will fight the final battle against 200,000 Japanese troops!
