Chapter 979: Annihilation
At this time, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi didn't know that the wolf fang had been killed outside his headquarters!
Akiyama Yoshiyoshi was still worried in his heart, because the attack of the 7th Infantry Wing on Yangqiao Village was not going well. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Seventh Infantry Wing concentrated the strength of two infantry brigades, and from the afternoon until now, it launched at least ten large-scale attacks in eight hours, but they were all stubbornly pushed back by the New Fourth Army stationed at the bridgehead.
The New Fourth Army was so tenacious that the Seventh Infantry Wing set its sights on the flanks.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that the attention of the New Fourth Army was firmly attracted to the bridgehead, the wing commander of the 7th Infantry Wing, Izuo Kazuo, ordered an infantry squadron to quietly cross the Yanghe River and try to outflank the New Fourth Army from behind, but was ambushed by the Nationalist Army at the entrance of Yangqiao Village, and in just half an hour, a squadron wading across the river was all annihilated!
The frontal attack was blocked, and the roundabout outflanking was blocked again, and now Izuo Kazuo was blinded.
Iza Kazuo had nothing to do, so he immediately sent a telegram to Yoshiyoshi Akiyama, requesting fire support from the Mountain Artillery Wing.
However, as to whether to put the mountain artillery wing in the direction of Yangqiao Village, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi had doubts in his heart.
Although the 89th Army of the Nationalist Army in the direction of Yongxing Town and the New Fourth Army in the direction of Gaozuozhen did not move at this time, the ghost knows when they will attack? In the unlikely event that the Mountain Artillery Wing is transferred to the direction of Yangqiao Village, and the 89th Army of the Nationalist Army and the New Fourth Army suddenly attack, the 35th Infantry Wing may not be able to stop it.
The reason why Akiyama Yoshiyoshi is so entangled is actually because he has too few chips in his hand.
In the first stage of the Battle of Xuzhou, the Ninth Division and the Thirteenth Division were heavily damaged by the Nationalist Army in Huainan and Bengbu, and finally although they were lucky to break through, they lost almost all the heavy equipment.
It is precisely because there are too few mountain cannons that Akiyama Yoshiyoshi is so entangled.
If there is a fully formed mountain artillery wing, what does it matter if a brigade is transferred there?
However, after receiving another telegram from Isao for help, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi still decided to transfer the mountain artillery wing to the direction of Yangqiao Village, in any case, it is better to open up Yangqiao Village first, otherwise, the retreat will not be clear, and the Nationalist Army and the New Fourth Army on the north and south flanks will take the opportunity to crush them, and their Akiyama detachment may really be completely annihilated.
At that moment, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi turned around and shouted outside the tent, "Yanagida-san? ”
A figure opened the curtain and came in, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi looked at it intently, but it was not his adjutant Yanagida Sota, but a very raw second lieutenant officer, but Akiyama Yoshiyoshi didn't feel anything abnormal, he just felt a little angry, and asked the second lieutenant in a very stiff tone at the moment: "What about Yanagida Sota?" ”
"Sota Yanagida?" The lieutenant said, "Are you talking about him?" ”
As he spoke, the second lieutenant took his right hand hidden behind him to him, and Akiyama Yoshiyoshi was surprised to find that the second lieutenant was actually holding a human head in his hand, and the face of the human head looked very hideous, obviously, he had been so frightened before he died that his facial expression was distorted.
What's even more terrifying is that the neck of the human head is still irregular, and it seems to have been twisted off by someone! Akiyama Yoshiyoshi took a closer look and found that this human head was actually Sota Yanagida's!
Sota Yanagida was actually killed, and the murderer carried a head into his headquarters?
Yoshiyoshi Akiyama's mind was momentarily stuck, and then, he thought of a possibility!
"Yaga!" Yoshiyo Akiyama gasped and instinctively stepped back, "Who are you?" ”
The second lieutenant smiled hideously, took a step forward and approached Akiyama Yoshiyo, and then said with a smile: "My surname is Xu, you guess the name." ”
"Surname Xu?" Akiyama Yoshiyoshi's pupils contracted sharply for a moment, "Are you...... Xu Rui?! ”
"Clever." Xu Rui grinned and said with a cruel smile, "It seems that there are still smart people among you Japanese." ”
"Yaga." Akiyama Yoshiyo took a step back, his right hand unconsciously stretched out to the saber on his waist, unfortunately, Xu Rui could not give him a chance to draw the knife again, the next moment, Xu Rui reached out his right hand like lightning, grabbed Akiyama Yoshiyo's throat, and then suddenly pinched it, only to hear the sound of the horn, and then crushed Akiyama Yoshiyo's neck bone, and the next moment, Akiyama Yoshiyo's head immediately drooped softly.
As soon as Xu Rui grabbed and crushed Akiyama Yoshiyun's neck bone, and with another wave of his hand, Leng Tiefeng rushed in with more than a dozen wolf teeth.
Xu Rui's cold gaze swept over Leng Tiefeng and the faces of more than a dozen wolf fangs, and said in a deep voice: "Act separately and give priority to destroying the devil's arsenal, oil depot and field hospital!" ”

Gao Zuozhen, the former commander of the New Fourth Army.
Chen Yi was pacing back and forth in the command post, and from time to time he would stop to look out the window, and when he saw that the night outside the window was still quiet, he lowered his head and continued to pace back and forth.
At a certain moment, the sky outside the window suddenly lit up, and the dazzling red light shone in through the window, illuminating the entire command post as bright as day.
Deputy Commander Fu Qiutao immediately shouted: "The explosion came from the direction of Donggou Town!" ”
"Xiao Xu, it must be Xiao Xu!" Chen Yi also said excitedly, "It must be him!" ”
At this time, the rumbling explosion finally reached Gaozuo Town, shaking people's ears deaf.
Chen Yi was overjoyed, turned his head and shouted: "Old man, immediately notify all regiments that the general attack has begun!" ”
"Okay!" Commander Fu Qiutao agreed, turned his head and shouted, "Guard, send a flare!" ”
The next moment, two red signal flares creaked into the air from the front fingers of the New Fourth Army detachment, and then, more than 16,000 officers and men of the eight main regiments, who had been waiting for a long time, launched a thunderous onslaught on the right flank of the Akiyama detachment from a front six or seven kilometers long, and almost at the same time, the 89th Army on the left flank also launched a fierce attack.

Seishiro Itagaki was woken up at four o'clock in the morning by his adjutant Kota Togo.
"Your Excellency, Commander!" Togo Kota said with a solemn expression, "I just received an urgent call from the Ninth Division, and the Akiyama detachment had already broken the jade on the battlefield in Donggou Town five minutes ago!" ”
"Nani?" Seishiro Itagaki was startled and said in a lost voice, "Collective jade shattering? ”
"Hello." Togo Kota said suddenly, "Since the detachment commander, Major General Yoshiyoshi Akiyama, the detachment has more than 15,000 people, and none of them survived, and all of them died for the empire. ”
"Yaga, Yaga, Yalu!" Seishiro Itagaki said angrily, "Why is this happening? What is this idiot Yoshiyoshi Akiyama for? One detachment, and with the cooperation of Han Deqin's 89th Army of the Nationalist Army, it can't deal with a detachment in the New Fourth Military Region? How did he fight? ”
Because he didn't want to be reprimanded, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi did not truthfully report the battle situation in Donggou Town.
What Akiyama Yoshiyoshi thought was to wait until the entire detachment had safely withdrawn before reporting.
Therefore, until now, Itagaki Seishiro did not know that the Akiyama detachment had been surrounded, and said that the Akiyama detachment was attacking the New Fourth Army with the 89th Army of the Nationalist Army.
"Your Excellency, Commander." Dongxiang Kota shook his head and said, "Han Deqin's Eighty-ninth Army of the Nationalist Army was on the verge of rebellion, not only did they not cooperate with the Imperial Army to deal with the New Fourth Army, but they cooperated with the New Fourth Army to sneak attack the Imperial Army from the flank. ”
"Baga, wolf fang, wolf tooth again!" Seishiro Itagaki was furious, "Damn, damn wolf fang, I knew it was going to be like this, I knew it was going to be like this!" Baga Yalu! ”
Togo Kota said again: "Your Excellency Commander, the Akiyama detachment has broken the jade collectively, and the defense of Huaiyin has become empty, if the 89th Army of the National Army continues to act in conjunction with the New Fourth Army and takes the opportunity to launch a counterattack on Huaiyin City, then I am afraid that the defenders of less than half of the army in Huaiyin City will not be able to hold it!" ”
In addition to Huaiyin City, there are more than a dozen surrounding county towns and stronghold towns along the highway, and these county towns and stronghold market towns all need to be garrisoned separately, although there are not many defenders in each county town and stronghold, but the total number of them is very considerable.
The infantry wing of the 9th Division had nearly two wings scattered in various county towns and stronghold market towns, which was also the main reason why Yoshizumi Ryosuke did not attack Yancheng with the whole division, but only formed the Akiyama Detachment with the 6th Infantry Brigade as the backbone, because Yoshizumi Ryosuke had only one mobile force at hand 6th Infantry Brigade.
At present, the Qiushan detachment has been completely annihilated, the remaining infantry brigades of the Ninth Division are scattered and stationed in various places, and the defenders in Huaiyin City have only one and a half brigades left, and it is obviously impossible to resist the combined attack of the 89th Army of the Nationalist Army and a detachment of the New Fourth Army with the strength of this one and a half brigades.
Moreover, at this time, it is too late to gather the troops scattered in various county towns, strongholds and market towns to Huaiyin City, so the safest countermeasure is to abandon Huaiyin, and there is an additional benefit of abandoning Huaiyin City, that is, using Huaiyin City to provoke friction between the National Army and the New Fourth Army.
Aren't your New Fourth Army and the National Army fighting together? Okay, I'll give you a big sweet date now, but I want to see how you distribute this big sweet date!
At that moment, Itagaki Seishiro said in a deep voice: "Order, abandon Huaiyin!" ”
"Hello!" Togo Kota paused, turned around and left in a hurry. (To be continued.) )
