Chapter 270: Encircling and Annihilating the Tenth Division
For the Japanese troops stationed in Yicheng, they probably never thought that they would encounter something like tonight. After a night of tossing, the enemy was not seen, but the entire wing suffered heavy losses, and even wounded friendly troops by mistake.
The captain of the infantry wing, who was lucky to escape, was not killed in the command headquarters, but he vomited blood from the nightmarish reports one after another. When he learned that the baggage troops had exchanged fire with the alert troops, the wounded wing commander was also incredible.
When he realized that this was not the case, and ordered the vigilant troops to surround him and not to shoot at will, the baggage troops who were holding on to the hotel surrendered voluntarily. Looking at the captain with a blue nose and swollen face, the captain of the Zhongzuo Wing was not happy.
After listening to the lieutenant's self-report, Nakasa also knew that the captain's background was extraordinary. Offending such a powerful person, his future military career will also become extremely dark. What's more, the materials were blown up, and as a wing commander, he could not escape the blame.
On the other hand, Hu Biao, who sneaked into the city and tossed around, played a signal flare to retreat, and quickly left the city. When Xu Sandao arrived with people, Hu Biao also appeared at the right time and said, "Okay, let's hurry back to the camp to rest!" ”
"Captain, what's going on in the city?"
"Hey, hey! I lit a fire and let the little devils kill each other. This will, it is estimated that the little devil has reacted, but it is still too late. Next, let them dog-eat-dog, it is estimated that they can bite a mouthful of hair, let's hurry up! ”
"All the storehouses in the city have been blown up?"
"That's right! For a short time, they had troops on the front line, and they didn't want to replenish supplies. Let's go back to the camp and rest, and then we'll think of other ways after dawn. In a word, I want the little devils to have troops on the front line, and they can't receive any supplies. ”
"Yes, Captain! Without ammunition and supplies, the little devils will also be blinded! ”
Listening to what Hu Biao said, everyone felt very happy. Even if he couldn't fight side by side with Hu Biao tonight, he still participated in the battle. As for the results of the battle, the fighters of the special service company have not counted these numbers for a long time.
During the period of going north, except for a few lightly wounded members of the spy company, no one was damaged at all. As for the little devils killed by them, many fighters can't remember how many. In short, many fighters know that they should have earned enough money.
Now it's all earned to kill one more, and it's just like that to fight more, there's nothing to be happy about. In addition, Hu Biao has always emphasized that when the soldiers of the special service company face the little devils, they must be able to do one as ten, and the soldiers feel that they must continue to work hard to maintain.
Considering the dark situation, the Japanese army wing stationed in Yicheng did not dare to send troops out of the city to check the situation. Even though the Japanese army had realized that someone had infiltrated Yicheng and blew up their material warehouse, they still couldn't find the murderer who caused the explosion.
Knowing that all the material warehouses had been destroyed and there were no supplies left, the seriously injured infantry wing commander had no choice but to report. Coupled with offending the baggage troops, the 10th Division wanted to supply supplies from the rear, but I was afraid that it would become more difficult.
On the other hand, Hu Biao, who returned to the temporary camp, found Zheng Jingwu and Lin Yashi, who were on duty, and immediately said: "Immediately send this telegram to the military commander and General Li of the Fifth War Zone." I also informed my ministry that I will be active near Yicheng in the near future.
Within three days, I can guarantee that no supplies will reach the front, and if there is any action in the 5th Theater, I hope they will start arranging as soon as possible. After three days, our department will move according to the situation, and the radio station will be turned on for two hours in the morning, noon and evening. ”
"Yes, Captain!"
The telegram was sent out overnight, and the communications officer of the Fifth War Zone, who received the telegram, did not bother to wake up Li Zongren, who had just fallen asleep. As Li Zongren's communications officer, he knew very well what the telegram meant.
"General, telegram from the Einsatzgruppen! The matter is urgent, I can only disturb the general, and the special task force has destroyed all the materials that the Japanese 10th Division has gathered in Yicheng. And it is guaranteed that the supplies will not be able to reach the front line within three days. ”
Li Zongren, who was putting on his clothes, hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the telegram!" ”
Looking at the translated telegram, Li Zongren immediately said: "Inform the chief of staff and other generals to go to the headquarters for a meeting immediately!" ”
Li Zongren, who was arranging a counterattack himself, knew very well that Hu Biao's urging to destroy the materials that the 10th Division had gathered in Yicheng meant that the 10th Division, which was attacking Taierzhuang with all its might, would definitely fall into a situation of running out of ammunition and food.
Once the 10th Division reacted and broke through before the encirclement of the national army, then Li Zongren's earlier arrangements would be in vain. At this time, Li Zongren must make a quick decision and start the counterattack in advance.
Li Zongren, who arrived at the headquarters, asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Hu Biao and repeatedly confirm the corresponding news. Similarly, Li Zongren also dispatched a reconnaissance unit from the Fifth Theater to verify whether the information reported by the special task force was true.
As a result, not long after, several anti-Japanese war troops relatively close to Yicheng sent corresponding telegrams, informing them that there was a huge explosion in the direction of Yicheng in the middle of the night and the sky-high fire that had not yet been extinguished, and it was suspected that something had happened.
Looking at the telegrams sent by various ministries, Li Zongren slapped the table and said: "The general attack is ahead, we can't let the little devils escape!" ”
"Sir, if the news is wrong, our troops will be in trouble!"
"Afraid of what? Do you suspect that the Einsatzgruppen is lying to us? Others don't know, don't you count it in your hearts? Captain Hu of the special task force is the commander of the dead soldiers' battalion who defended the Jinling Presidential Palace.
The victory of the 59th Army and the 40th Army in Linyi earlier was the help of the special task force that raided the rear headquarters and artillery positions of the little devils. If I really wait for the dawn to do it, I am afraid that the 10th Division will have already run away. ”
As the commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, Li Zongren was well aware that every order given could lead to thousands of casualties. But he also understood that if he did not seize this opportunity, he would miss the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the 10th Division.
Just as Li Zongren was discussing with the generals, the communications officer quickly said: "Sir, the military commander has sent a telegram to confirm the news that Yicheng has been attacked. The forward troops also called, informing them that the main force of the Japanese army had moved! ”
"Did you hear that? If you doubt the Einsatzgruppen, then you should have believed the telegram sent by the military commander, right? Passing on my order, the various units launched a counterattack in advance, so that the 40th Army rushed to Yicheng to block it.
When the counterattack of the various units begins, we will inform the special task force of our encirclement and annihilation plan. General Pang of the 40th Army had dealings with the Einsatzgruppen. Send a telegram to General Pang to inform him of the news of the Einsatzgruppen in Yicheng. ”
"Yes, sir!"
As Li Zongren advanced the counterattack, the rest of the generals looked at the verification telegrams sent one after another, and it was difficult to refute them. They sent reports to their subordinates and launched a strong counteroffensive against the current enemy.
For a time, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, which was considering whether to break through or be on standby, also received telegrams from the brigades under its command that they were under attack. Some of the areas defended by the wing were being counterattacked by the main divisions of the national army.
At the headquarters of the 10th Division, which was located on the front line, the division commander Ryosuke Isoya was also shocked and said, "Is the Shina Army crazy? How dare they launch a counterattack against us? Where did these Chinese armies come from? ”
"General, the Chinese army suddenly launched a counterattack on all fronts, and must have known the news of the attack on Yicheng. As far as the current situation of ammunition stockpiles in the ministries is concerned, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold out for long. Without logistical supplies, it's hard for us to make a difference. ”
"Yaga! Those incompetent guys, a wing stationed in Yicheng, will even be infiltrated. In this situation, we can only shrink our forces and wait until dawn to break out. ”
"Maybe that's all it takes!"
"Send a telegram to the commander of the Seya Brigade, and ask him to lead his troops to retreat and join the main force of the division, and the rest of the troops will continue to block and move closer to the main force of the division after dawn. Send a telegram to the direction of Yicheng and ask it to respond to the retreat of the main force of the division. ”
"Hey!"
With Ryosuke Isoya making the decision to retreat and preserve his strength, the main force of the national army, which was launching a counterattack, also saw that the Japanese army was retreating. In this case, the morale of the attacking troops, which were originally worried, instantly increased several times.
Many of the main regiment commanders who served as the main attack task listened to the reports of their subordinates and immediately said happily: "It seems that the little devil really wants to escape!" Order the troops, don't be afraid of casualties, force me to press over, and don't let the little devil withdraw too easily. ”
"Yes, Captain!"
The anti-Japanese forces of the Nationalist Army, which had absolute superiority in troops, used crowd tactics to launch a strong counterattack against the Japanese army when the Japanese army lost artillery coordination, which really made the Japanese army feel tremendous pressure, and some Japanese troops could only retreat step by step.
When Hu Biao received the telegram forwarded by Li Zongren, he was also very surprised: "It seems that I inadvertently contributed to the advance counterattack of the main force of the national army." It's just that at this time to counterattack, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army should still have a lot of strength.
Never mind! I'm also worried about a lot of these things, but I'm afraid I won't have a rest tonight. The Fortieth Army was nearby, so there were plenty of opportunities. Maybe next, I can find an opportunity to capture Yicheng, pillar, and notify the troops to assemble! ”
Looking at the battle report sent by Li Zongren and the news that the rest of the 40th Army would cooperate with the blockade, Hu Biao, who had lamented the lack of troops in his hands earlier, felt that there was a lot to be done at this moment. This time, it may be possible to break the bones of the 10th Division.
At worst, it is necessary to bite off a piece of meat from the 10th Division, so that the little devil will not be able to attack for a short time. As for the Fifth Division, which cooperated with the operation, Hu Biao believed that Li Zongren would also be prepared and would not let the Fifth Division come to cause chaos.
The soldiers of the spy company, who were just about to rest, gathered again as Xu Sandao blew the whistle for emergency assembly. The three platoon commanders rushed to the radio room to receive orders as soon as possible. Not long after, the platoon left with the radio on its back.
After receiving the contact telegram from the 40th Army, Hu Biao left the temporary camp again with the sniper team and the third platoon. At this moment, only a few soldiers remained in the temporary camp, even Lin Yashi also went out with the troops.
The reason is very simple, Hu Biao needs to maintain close contact with the troops in front of him when he goes out to fight next. At this time, the battle situation will change at any time, and if you keep in touch, you can also let Hu Biao adjust the battle plan in time according to the enemy situation!
