The 16th Division is a division of the Imperial Japanese Army, codenamed "Heng". In the Russo-Japanese War, it was formed in Kyoto on July 18, 1905 as a reserve force, and its headquarters was located in Kyoto, and the officers and soldiers were mainly from Kyoto, Mie Prefecture and Nara Prefecture, so it was also called the "Kyoto Division". In the year of its formation, it was sent to Manchuria to participate in the Russo-Japanese War, until the Portsmouth Peace Treaty was signed on September 5. After the war, it became one of Japan's 17 standing divisions.

After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, Japan began a full-scale war of aggression against China. To this end, Japan mobilized for the war and began to recruit a large number of soldiers, and the 16th Division, which was a first-class division, expanded from 18,000 in peacetime to about 25,000 in wartime. In September 1937, the 16th Division landed at Tanggu Port in Tianjin and was incorporated into the battle sequence of the Second Army of the Japanese North China Front. Subsequently, he participated in the battles in Ziyahe and other areas, defeated the 53rd Army of Wan Fulin of the Northeast Army, and caused the flank of the central ** position in the direction of Baoding to be exposed and collapsed. At the end of October 1937, the 16th Division was incorporated into the battle sequence of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, transferred from North China to Shanghai, and then to Nanjing.

After the fall of Nanjing, the 16th Division was stationed in Nanjing for a short time to serve as a garrison in Nanjing, and this unit was the main participant in the Nanjing Massacre in history. Soon after, the 16th Division sailed from the sea to Dalian, and was reassigned to the battle sequence of the Second Army of the Japanese North China Front, and later to the battle sequence of the Central China Dispatch Army. At this time, because Nakajima Imago was promoted to the commander of the Japanese Fourth Army stationed in Manchuria, Lieutenant General Keisuke Fujie, the former commander of the military police of the Kwantung Army, succeeded him as the commander of the 16th Division.

However, Fujie Keisuke's bad luck was not long after he succeeded him, and he was hit hard by the military police regiment directly under Guide to Germany, resulting in a division regiment of the first class almost being disabled, and Fujie Keisuke also had a psychological shadow. This time, he was ordered to go south to encircle and suppress his rival Bai Fei, and originally planned to use the superior strength of several divisions and regiments to eliminate them in one fell swoop and regain his confidence. Unexpectedly, after entering the mountain, the troops suffered repeated setbacks, and the damage to the personnel continued to increase, and the shadow in Fujie Keisuke's heart became more and more serious.

Especially after Bai Fei's super bomb exploded, thousands of Japanese soldiers were wiped out in an instant, and there was a scorched earth within a radius of several hundred meters, and that strong psychological shock once again made Fujie Keisuke's confidence in victory suffer an unprecedented blow.

Therefore, after receiving the telegram from the headquarters, Fujie Keisuke, who was seriously lacking in confidence, wanted to leave as soon as possible, so he asked the Ogizhou troops to stay and continue the encirclement and suppression, and he led the team to return to the rescue.

But Ogisu Libing is not stupid, and he saw through Keisuke Fujie's plan to escape and dump the pot at a glance. To be honest, the previous explosion was no less shocking to him than Keisuke Fujie, and most of the soldiers killed by the explosion came from his 13th Division, and he was the one who was the most injured when it came to losses. In fact, after the explosion, Ogisu Libing's heart also sprouted to retreat, but firstly, there was no good excuse, and secondly, he was a little unwilling, but now, the headquarters suddenly sent a telegram of reinforcement back and forth, and Fujie Keisuke, who was cooperating with the battle, was obviously more timid than him, Ogisu Libing thought about it, and made up his mind to leave.

Keisuke Fujie and Libei Ogisu both wanted to leave, but at the same time, they both wanted the other party to stay and continue to encircle and suppress Bai Fei, so the two argued endlessly. Fujie Keisuke said: "Ogizhou-kun, the sneak attack on Hefei by the Chinese army is obviously for the purpose of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, and their troops will not be too much, it is enough for me to take the 16th division back to defend and rescue, and the task of encirclement and suppression is also very important, as long as Bai Fei can be eliminated, even if we lose Hefei, it will be worth it." ”

Ogizhou Libing said in his heart that what you said is good, you ran away and left me here to be bombed, if you come again like that, won't my 13th division be wiped out. So he retorted: "What you said is not wrong, it is indeed important to eliminate Bai Fei, besides, your 16th Division was almost defeated by him in Guide, don't you want to take revenge?" I think you should stay and continue to encircle and suppress. ”

Keisuke Fujie saw that the two sides were arguing, and Ogisu Libing was obviously thinking the same thing as him, so he sighed: "In that case, let's fatten the rescue together, anyway, that's what the telegram said." ”

Ogizhou Libing also sighed, and said helplessly: "Since Fujie-kun said so, then let's do it." Inform the 106th and 114th divisions and ask them to send troops to defend them. ”

Soon, the news that the 13th and 16th divisions were going to evacuate reached the ears of the 106th Division commander Matsuura Junrokuro and the 114th Division commander Suematsu Shigeji.

With such a God-given opportunity, Bai Fei naturally won't miss it. After getting the news, Bai Fei immediately led the special combat team to change into the Japanese military uniform, and took advantage of the chaos of the 106th Division's division to take over the defense, disguised himself as a Japanese army, secretly mixed out of the Japanese encirclement, and came to the area of Fengsha Lake.

At this time, the sky is already light, and the rising sun slowly jumps out of the horizon, and the golden light reflects the sparkling water, and the surroundings seem peaceful.

Bai Fei let out a sigh of relief and ordered everyone to rest on the spot for a while, he walked to the lake, picked up a handful of water, and washed his face.

Li Hu walked over and said, "Tuanzuo, I have sent a telegram to the 71st Army to express my gratitude according to your request, and they have now retreated to Lu'an." ”

Bai Fei nodded.

Li Hu said again: "Tuanzuo, where are we going next?" ”

Bai Fei looked at the sparkling waves on the surface of the lake, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go south." ”

"To the south?" Li Hu said: "You mean, we cross the river? ”

Bai Fei said: "Yes, now that most of the Japanese troops are concentrated in Jiangbei, we will go south to the Yangtze River." Wait a minute, you take people to the river, see if there are any patrols of little devils along the river, and find a way to get a few of their boats. Remember, to make a big move, it's best to leave one or two alive to let the devils know that we've crossed the river..."

"Yes!" Li Hu immediately selected forty or fifty people and quickly rushed to the river.

After a short time, he heard gunshots and explosions coming from the riverside, and by the time Bai Fei and the others rushed to the riverside, Li Hu had already controlled several Japanese patrol boats nearly ten meters long on the river near Laozhou Town. There were also several bombed-out hull wreckage and some Japanese corpses floating on the river.

Li Hu greeted him and said: "Tuanzuo, we have sunk several Japanese ships here before, and the nearby rivers have been blocked by sunken ships, when I came, the Japanese army was clearing the channel here with explosives, and we used rocket artillery to kill him, except for these ships, most of the rest ran upstream... By the way, there were no casualties in this battle. ”

"Good!" Bai Fei waved his hand: "Without further ado, let everyone board the boat immediately, and we will cross the river immediately..."
