Chapter 681
Qin Feng immediately ordered Ye Lili to call Yin Zhonghua, the commander of the new 11th Division, and ordered him to immediately lead his troops to withdraw from the ambush and retreat to Quzhou quickly, sensing the crisis, no matter how great the temptation ahead, Qin Feng decided to give up decisively.
But Ye Lili just left, and immediately turned back, there was already an extra telegram in her hand, the message was sent by the new 11th Division, they had already engaged the enemy, and the devils appeared from the direction of Texas behind them, fortunately, the mobile post they arranged was far away, and the Japanese army was discovered in time, but temporarily changed the direction of the battlefield, they did not have a geographical advantage, and the battle entered the white heat at the beginning, the Japanese army had about two wings, the attack was extremely fierce, they suffered heavy casualties, and it was difficult to withdraw from the battle, asking for reinforcements.
Qin Feng suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he still didn't know what the problem was, how could Okamura Ningji see his intentions so quickly, this extremely sharp backhand blow, if he didn't do it well, he would let himself sink into the sand and usher in a fiasco.
Qin Feng ordered Yin Zhonghua, commander of the new 11th Division, to resist the enemy with all his might and wait for reinforcements. He immediately ordered Zhang Linghu to leave a regiment to block the enemy, and led his troops to quickly rush to Taixi for reinforcements, and cooperated with the new 11th Division to annihilate the two wings of the 157th Division of the Japanese Army.
At the same time, Qin Feng ordered all the troops on the Western Front to block the Western Front with all their might, prevent the Japanese army from breaking through to the Western Front, and form a flanking attack on the new 11th Division. Originally, the western front was only the direction to induce the enemy to break through, so the troops were basically only used to harass, and they were relatively weak, only Zhao Wu led the hurricane detachment of more than 1,000 people, but at this time it became the main front line of the war, and Qin Feng had to order the new 12th Division to move closer to the western front to ensure its safety.
However, just when the new 12th Division successfully completed the battlefield transformation and Qin Feng just breathed a sigh of relief, the special operations division and the Poyang Lake Brigade on the eastern front actually found that the main force of the Japanese army had completed the retreat, and there were only a small number of troops left in the defense area.
Qin Feng suddenly woke up, I'm afraid that there is a problem with these cannons, this big night, there is no target at all, these cannons will not bring much casualties in addition to bringing fear to the devils, but the intention of building momentum is too obvious, as long as the Japanese commander can distinguish what caliber these cannons are, combined with the fact that the 133rd Division was intercepted by the New Fourth Army with a few seven or five field guns, it can basically be concluded that behind them is the New Fourth Army, although the combat effectiveness of the Japanese C Division is not necessarily much stronger than the comparison, However, compared with the New Fourth Army with poor equipment and little ammunition, it has a clear advantage, and the Japanese 140th Division retreated directly to the north, which obviously pinched the New Fourth Army as a soft persimmon.
Qin Feng sent a telegram to Mr. Su, ordering him to immediately withdraw from the battle and evacuate to the east, and also reminded him not to worry about a few cannons, and to blow them up decisively and evacuate quickly, if it is too late, I am afraid that he will be surrounded by devils, causing unnecessary casualties.
But what Qin Feng didn't expect was that his telegram was still too late, and in less than five minutes after the New Fourth Army received the telegram, the vanguard of the Japanese army had already taken the initiative to attack the New Fourth Army, and it was determined that the New Fourth Army did not have many troops, and it was a fierce attack as soon as it came up, without giving the New Fourth Army a chance to breathe, and the troops that disturbed the enemy in front were quickly dispersed by the Japanese army, hurriedly led the large army to retreat to the east, this battle caused them more than 1,000 casualties, and the ammunition was almost exhausted, even the artillery company sent by Qin Feng was annihilated by the enemy, and several captured cannons all fell into the hands of the enemy, and there was no chance of blowing them up.
After the two wings of the 157th Division of the Japanese Army attacked the new 11th Division, seeing that the battle could not be resolved quickly, the Japanese army decisively gave up the attack and led its troops to retreat north in the direction of Huangshan, and it was so clean that even the commander of the new 11th Division, Yin Zhonghua, had not reacted, and the Japanese army had already fled the battlefield for several miles.
The slaps that came one after another were about to blind Qin Fan, and he hadn't accepted this fact for a long time, a seemingly perfect surprise attack turned into a fiasco, and even the game carefully arranged by himself and Mr. Su was actually resolved by Okamura Ningji one by one, and he was still calmly biting on the bait laid by the New Fourth Army, and walked away.
This loss was eaten, but it made Qin Feng grit his teeth with hatred, but he was helpless, since he fought with Okamura Ningji, I am afraid that only this time was the most aggrieved, and it was also the most inexplicable defeat.
Because it was almost dawn, if the troops were still wandering around the mountains and forests, the first day of dawn would definitely attract the frantic strafing of Japanese planes, so Qin Feng had no choice but to order the troops to return to their respective stations immediately.
Back in Quzhou, the results of the battle losses were quickly reported, and the battle losses of the new 11th Division actually reached 3,000, and the losses of other units, including the special operations division, were not large, less than 1,000 in total, but in addition to the fact that the New Fourth Army also lost more than 1,000 people, the battle losses in this battle had exceeded 5,000. A large-scale raid battle actually achieved this effect, and Qin Feng couldn't accept it.
For a whole day, Qin Feng locked himself in the command headquarters, repeatedly demonstrated the battle on the sand table, and finally found the crux of the problem, the reason is that he is too eager for quick success, especially the indiscriminate bombardment of several field artillery, it is a failure in the defeat, it may be okay to fool the general commander of the Japanese army, but for a tactical master like Okamura Ningji, any improper handling of any detail may lead to the failure of the entire battle.
There is no problem with Mr. Su's plan itself, the mistake is that it should not be implemented by Qin Feng, any general is changed, or Mr. Su personally deploys, the success rate is at least more than 80%, although there are some flaws, but the panic caused to the enemy suddenly is likely to be ignored in the past, it is precisely because Qin Feng personally deployed that Okamura Ningji will be extra cautious, and even in the entire campaign, Okamura Ningji immediately retreated when he tasted a little sweetness, and he was not greedy at all, if Okamura Ningji was a little bolder, Order the 140th Division to break out of the Western Front on the whole line, join the two wings of the 157th Division, and then send the Japanese troops in the direction of Dexing to pursue the 23rd Brigade of the Special Operations Division, and intercept them at both ends, then Qin Feng's casualties will definitely increase exponentially, at least the new 11th Division will be completely defeated under the attack of one division and two wings of the Japanese army.
