Almost at the same time that the Osaka Wing was completely annihilated, the main force of the Osaka Division, which had broken through to the south, was also defeated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because he had accurately judged the intentions of the little devil before the war, Xu Rui made careful preparations, and had already taken advantage of the cover of night to transfer Gao Chu's garrison regiment from the Shaqiaogang fortress and placed it in the southeast of the Osaka division.

Fifteen minutes after the Osaka Wing broke through to the east, the main force of the Osaka Division, also under the guidance of the Eighth Tank Wing, began to break through to the south, however, after advancing less than 500 meters, the garrison regiment immediately cut diagonally into the middle of the main force of the Osaka Division and the Eighth Wing of the Independent Tank like a sharp boning knife.

The intention of the garrison regiment was very clear, that is, to cut the Osaka Division and the 8th Tank Wing.

At this time, although there were only two battalions left in the garrison regiment, because the warrior battalion that had been wiped out at the warrior slope had not yet had time to be rebuilt, so Gao Chu could only lead two battalions to participate in the battle, but even if there were only two battalions left, the garrison regiment still completed the task assigned by Xu Rui excellently, and separated the Osaka Division from the 8th Tank Wing in just one assault.

Yamamoto realized the danger and tried to turn around and come back to help, but after being blown up by the demomen of the garrison regiment and destroying two tanks, Yamamoto gave up his plan to return to the Osaka Division, thinking that even without the protection of the Osaka Division, their tank wing could completely rely on their mobility advantage to get rid of the pursuers and successfully break through.

In view of this, Yamamoto gave up the rescue and decisively led the 8th Tank Wing to continue to break through to the south.

The breakthrough of the 8th Tank Wing went smoothly, although they encountered the stubborn resistance of the defenders along the way, but they were all resolved one by one by virtue of their strong mobility advantage and breakthrough ability, and two hours later, Yamamoto Etsuji's 8th Tank Wing had already broken through 10 kilometers to the south and successfully broke through the encirclement.

Yamamoto Etsuji's 8th Tank Wing managed to break through, but the Osaka Division was unlucky.

Gao Chu's garrison regiment was first like a sharp knife, cutting off the Osaka division and the eighth wing of the chariot at once, and then like a nail, nailed to the path of the Osaka division, the Osaka division organized three attacks, but failed to break through the garrison group's resistance, and when Kataoka wanted to organize a fourth attack, there was no chance.

Because, the 104th Wing of the Cavalry, which was responsible for protecting the right flank, had been defeated by a regiment.

Although the formation of this cavalry wing is also Osaka Prefecture, but unlike the infantry wing, most of these devils in the cavalry wing are from aristocratic backgrounds, compared with the merchants, fishermen or farmers in the infantry wing, these noble children are much more seriously brainwashed by militarist thoughts, so the combat effectiveness of the 104th Cavalry Wing is still very strong.

Moreover, the Osaka Division has hit this, and the 104th Cavalry Wing is already the last relatively complete unit of the whole division, so although the 104th Cavalry Wing has only two cavalry squadrons under its jurisdiction, and it has lost nearly half of the squadron in the previous alert sweep, it is still pinned on by Toshio Miyake.

And the 104th Cavalry Wing did not live up to Miyake Toshio's expectations, and caused very big trouble to He Guangming's regiment on the right flank of the battlefield, because the mobility of the cavalry was far better than that of the infantry, and it was at night, the devil's cavalry was especially elusive, and the attack troops of the regiment were a little confused.

It is often the case that when a regiment stops attacking and is ready to concentrate its firepower to give the devil cavalry a head-on attack, the devil cavalry suddenly disappears, and then when the regiment moves forward again, the devil cavalry suddenly kills out of the darkness, like lightning sweeping through a group of skirmishers, leaving a line of blood on the straggler line in an instant.

The situation was not finally improved until the cavalry battalion of Iron and Steel was put into battle.

Under the joint strangulation of the cavalry battalion and a regiment, the 104th Wing of the Devil's Cavalry was finally annihilated.

However, due to the delay of the first regiment for too much time, it was not able to form an encirclement with the garrison regiment and the third regiment in the end, and although the Osaka division was finally defeated, it also allowed more than 10,000 soldiers of the Osaka division to escape from the gap between the garrison regiment and the first regiment, and then began to flee for their lives all over the mountains.

This is war, Xu Rui has calculated almost everything, but he still can't predict the outcome.

He Guangming knew that this time something was bad, so he hurriedly ordered the troops to pursue separately in a company and platoon, and the cavalry battalion of Tiegang also divided into platoons to cooperate with a regiment of action, and then the militia brigades of Meixian and Puxian also joined in, and staged an unprecedented battle royale in the Qiuling Mountains between Meixian and Puxian!

Xu Rui was half angry after receiving the news, and such a big basket appeared in the good plan of total annihilation.

But soon, Xu Rui didn't care about getting angry with He Guangming, because the engineer battalion and the guard battalion cooperated with the second regiment, and the battle to encircle and annihilate the eighth wing of the devil chariot had begun.

The Eighth Wing of the Devil's Independent Combat Vehicles has a Type 95 light tank squadron, four Type 97 medium tank squadrons and a maintenance squadron, of which the Type 95 light tank squadron has been completely annihilated by three regiments in Pucheng, leaving four Type 97 medium tank squadrons, one of which was given to the Osaka Wing before breaking through.

So now, Yamamoto Etsuji only has three Type 97 medium tank squadrons and one maintenance squadron left, and there are still 45 Type 97 medium tanks left, plus 23 trucks, and the 23 trucks equipped by the maintenance squadron are not ordinary trucks, but trucks with steel plates.

Therefore, the assault power of the 8th Wing of the tank is still very strong.

However, the 8th Tank Wing also has a fatal weakness, which is that it must be maneuvered by road!

In battle, the devil's tank can certainly achieve off-road combat, but when marching, it must be through the road, because marching in the field will not only consume more fuel, greatly shorten the combat distance of the tank, but also may encounter a river, once the depth of the river exceeds one meter, whether it is the 95 or 97 all have to be blinded.

It was by taking advantage of this weakness of the devil tank that He Shuya successfully set a trap, and used the tactics of poisonous smoke to capture thirteen Type 95 light tanks intact, Xu Rui now wants to copy this tactic and capture all the tanks of the entire Eighth Wing of the tank intact again.

Xu Rui has been eyeing the eighth wing of the devil's chariot for a day or two, almost from the beginning, Xu Rui has been fighting the idea of this chariot wing, so after the battle to encircle and annihilate the eighth wing of the devil's chariot began, all of Xu Rui's attention immediately shifted to the chariot wing.

Then turn your eyes back to Nanjing.

Jun Nakamura has successfully completed the task, and the brigade commander Yoshiharu Ozaki, who is independently mixed into the 13th Brigade, has also rushed to Chaohu County and officially took office, so, after the handover, Jun Nakamura returned to Nanjing with ease, Jun Nakamura is really relaxed, there will be no better result, isn't it?

On the night after returning to Nanjing, Nakamura Jun heard the wind.

It is said that the base camp is very satisfied with Nakamura's performance in the operation to rescue the Kumamoto Division, and his new position is already being contemplated, in short, it is unlikely that Nakamura Jun will continue to stay in Central China to send a staff officer.

For this result, Nakamura Jun was not surprised, just with his "outstanding" performance in this sweeping operation, it is an inevitable result to be promoted to another country, in fact, Nakamura Jun's performance is not very good, but in the midst of a fiasco, Nakamura Jun's independent mixed 13th Brigade can have such a performance, it is very dazzling.

Regarding Nakamura's new position, it is said that there are two possibilities, one is that he may be transferred to the North China Front as chief of staff, and the other may be transferred to Shanghai to serve as the chief of the Tohihara organ.

Nakamura Jun can be described as proud of the spring breeze, but the river side Shozo is running out.

Since the news of the failure of the Osaka Division to break through and be surrounded returned to Nanjing, Kawabe Shozo's spirit collapsed, and for a whole day, Kawabe Shozo locked himself in his office, refusing to see anyone, Nakamura Jun, a little Fukuoka fellow, refused to see him, and even Nishio Shouzo was closed!

Obviously, Shozo Kawabe had already predicted the outcome.

Although the Osaka Division is still resisting stubbornly, by this time, even the idiot combat staff can already deduce from the operational map, and the destruction of the Osaka Division and the 8th Independent Tank Wing is already a matter of time, because they do not have the ammunition reserves needed to break through, and there will be no other troops to rescue them.

The fate of the Osaka Division and the 8th Tank Wing was sealed, as was the fate of Shozo Kawabe, and if he did not want to be tried and humiliated by a military court, he had to end his life in the way of a samurai, which was the only way for him to restore his own reputation and that of his family.

At five o'clock in the morning, Nakamura Jun was sleeping soundly in the VIP room of the officers' club, holding his North Korean concubine, but suddenly received a call from Kawabe Shozo, who asked him to go back to the headquarters immediately, saying that he had something important to tell him.

Hurried to Fanghua Garden, in the rest room of the chief of staff of the General Staff, Nakamura Jun saw Kawabe Shozo, to Nakamura Jun felt a little surprised, the Kawabe Shozo in front of him actually looked radiant, and even the beard that had not been shaved for half a month was also carefully trimmed, and changed into a major general's dress that was only worn when attending the ceremony.
