Chapter 1456: Yingtian Victory
The First Battle of Changsha was originally carried out as expected in history. Fastest updates
The 106th Division finally successfully jumped out of the encirclement set by Xue Yue, completed the first stage of strategic containment tasks, and withdrew to Wuning to defend it, while the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army encountered Yang Sen's 79th Army in the direction of Tongcheng as usual.
In the past two years, the Sichuan Army, like most troops in Chongqing, has been repeatedly defeated in the face of the Japanese army, but no matter what conditions they have, they have shown the determination to fight to the death, but they have really played the prestige and blood of the Sichuan people, so that the warlords around the country shouted the famous saying that no Sichuan cannot be an army, and any Sichuan army soldier has become the fragrant bun of all departments.
Under such circumstances, Chongqing also attached great importance to the Sichuan army and equipped them with relatively good equipment, hoping that they would make persistent efforts.
The Sichuan army did not disappoint the Chongqing side either.
In the face of the onslaught of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, the officers and men of the Sichuan Army of the 79th Army fought to the death with the Japanese army in the northwest area of Maishi, and held on for three days and three days under the condition that the Japanese army fully occupied the fire and air superiority, and the soldiers of the battalion and battalion were all wiped out, but they did not give up, until the 140th Division of the army was almost scattered, they had to withdraw from Maishi, and fought side by side with the 134th Division of the 20th Army that rushed to reinforce it.
After the Japanese captured Peachtree Harbor, the 82nd Division and the 98th Division of the 79th Army held the main position and did not retreat, and the 140th Division, which was only two regiments left, rearmed, went around the Japanese flank at night to launch a night attack, and successively broke through the three lines of defense of the Japanese army, and the 82nd and 98th Divisions also took the opportunity to launch a full-scale counteroffensive, annihilating 1,000 enemies overnight, forcing the 33rd Division to retreat.
However, the officers and men of the Sichuan Army of the 79th Army not only did not stop there, but on the contrary, they were like a rainbow, and with the cooperation of the Eighth Army, the Twentieth Army, and part of the 30th Group Army, they continued to pursue along the way, killing and wounding more than 1,000 Japanese troops, until the Japanese army was defeated and retreated to the area of Tongshan and Tongcheng.
"Some guys, who the hell are they!"
Looking at the group of Chinese soldiers who were thin and small, with rifles almost taller than their own bodies, screaming and rushing up in the rain of bullets, Ganji Jutaro was about to go crazy, because these guys were not afraid of death at all.
"Sichuan Army, they are the people of Sichuan Army......"
The frightened Japanese soldiers screamed, looking at this group of skinny ones who seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, but charged like little tigers, the Japanese soldiers also felt a chill.
These Japanese soldiers are known for not being afraid of death, but these Sichuan troops are obviously more afraid of death than them!
"Sichuan Army? Is it someone from the same place as those guys from the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment in Trojan County? ”
Gansu Shigetaro asked, and after receiving a positive answer, he looked up to the sky and was speechless, and sighed: "If you want to unify China, you must first destroy the Sichuan army, and if the Sichuan army does not die for a day, the great cause of the empire's East Asian co-prosperity circle will be impossible to talk about......"
The defeat of the 33rd Division completely shattered the Japanese army's dream of attacking the Xinqiang River defense line in front and rear, and the Japanese army had to mobilize the Nara detachment, and the Uemura detachment cooperated with the 6th Division with a total of more than 50,000 people to attack the Xinqiang River position.
Under the command of General Guan Linzheng and encouraged by the 79th Army's repulsion of the 33rd Army, the 15th Group Army stubbornly defended the defense line of the Xinqiang River and the Miluo River, and fought fiercely for a week.
During the day, the Japanese army attacked frantically under the cover of combat vehicles and tanks and planes, and at night, the officers and men of the 15th Group Army organized death squads to rush into the position with explosives and then recapture the position.
For a whole week, more than 50,000 Japanese troops could not advance an inch, and as a last resort, the Japanese army let the Uemura detachment make a surprise attack on the camp in an attempt to open a gap in the camp field.
The Shangcun detachment has an infantry brigade, an artillery brigade, a cavalry squad, and so on, totaling more than 3,000 people, more than 10 or 20 artillery guns, hundreds of war horses, and extremely well-equipped.
It is true that this is the case in history, the surprise attack of the Shangcun detachment on Yingtian, which directly caused the collapse of the Xinqianghe position that Chongqing had been operating for a year and a half, and made the chairman of the committee frightened and ordered Xue Yue to withdraw his troops one after another, so as not to suffer greater losses.
But this time, as soon as the Shangcun detachment entered the camp, it found that the camp was a huge trap at all, and the strength of the entire three divisions was waiting for them.
"Hahaha, Lu Yuan, this bastard, is simply Zhuge Kongming alive!"
Hearing that Yingtian annihilated more than 1,500 Japanese troops, captured more than 10 Japanese heavy artillery, more than 300 horses, and countless other materials and ammunition, Xue Yue was almost crazy with joy.
Seeing the battle report in Changsha, the chairman of the committee also slapped the table for a while excitedly, scolded Niang Xipi for half an hour, and then published a report on the great victory of Yingtian through the radio.
However, there is still no way to go, and the credit is that Chairman Jiang knows how to use people, and Xue Yue uses his troops well.
In view of the huge losses of the 33rd Division and the Nara Detachment, Anan Yuji was forced to reconsider whether the time was ripe for an attack on the Changsha area, and was forced to suspend the offensive.
Anan will not know that according to the trend of history, although the Japanese army did not take Changsha in the end this time, there were 50,000 or 60,000 casualties on the first side, and the strength was greatly damaged.
And this time, because of his suspension of the offensive, the loss of Xue Yue's troops was reduced to the extreme, and because of the great victory in Yingtian, Xue Yue's troops laid the belief that they would win, and laid a solid foundation for the next full-scale counteroffensive.
In the mountains of October, the wind is blowing, and it has brought a slight chill.
On a hilltop, Lu Yuan held a telescope and looked at a large open field in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In the center of that open field was the prisoner exchange place chosen by Okamura Ninji, and Lu Yuan was only notified more than an hour ago.
The exchange is at least several kilometers away from the nearest hills on all sides, and there is no need to worry about any ambushes and the like, and it is impossible to cover ordinary small artillery fire, and there is no time to do any tricks.
I have to say that Okamura Ninji put a lot of effort into guarding against him.
Of course, such precautions are mutual, and Lu Yuan doesn't need to worry about what tricks Okamura Ninji can do.
