Chapter 1949: Mountain Rain is Coming
"On the eastern line of the middle line, our Ushijima Division encountered the tenacious resistance of the Eighth Road, and the Eighth Route was not only as tenacious as ever, but also greatly improved in terms of weapons and equipment compared with the past, and the Eighth Route side in addition to the blockade, and even repeatedly launched counterattacks on the position of our Ushijima Division, although the Ushijima Division annihilated more than 20,000 people on the Eighth Road, but it also suffered heavy losses, more than 6,000 soldiers of the empire were killed, and the casualties of the Imperial Allied Army were innumerable......
"On the northern front of the Western Front, the Bourbon detachment of our Sakurai Division, Harada Division, and several brigades also encountered stubborn resistance from the Chongqing Front...... Our army has killed the senior generals of the Chongqing Front Army, Wang Jun, Tang Weiyuan, Wu Shimin, etc., and in the past ten days, more than 40,000 people have been annihilated by the Chinese army, and nearly half of the Chongqing Chinese army has been killed or wounded! ”
"If in the past, the Chongqing Front Army would have collapsed early and fled in all directions, and I don't know what the Chongqing Front Army was crazy about this time, until now it is not only resisting stubbornly, but even dispatching death squads, night attacks, etc., every position, our army has to go through countless repeated battles before it can be completely occupied, and our army has suffered huge casualties ......."
"In the area of Jiaozuo Xin'an, the sixth division of Lieutenant General Kanda Zhengzhong was intercepted by the Sichuan army led by Guan Linzheng and Wang Lingji, and failed to advance an inch for three days and three nights, and could not complete the deployment of the front and rear flanking attacks, the generals of the 33rd Division and the 106th Division called, the attack of Xue Yue's department was extremely crazy, and the outer defense line has been completely lost, and in the past two days, the internal defense line has also been broken through, and the form is extremely critical, and the generals of all departments have requested that they break through and transfer first, and then seek suitable fighters to strike at the enemy......"
"Last night, the Kawakishi Division attacked the Hunyuan position, and the two detachments of the Hunyuan Eighth Route and the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment once again used death squads, put on the clothes of our army and took advantage of the retreat of our army to blend into our army, causing great casualties to the Kawagishi Division, it is estimated that more than 800 imperial soldiers died here, and the major general of the division's staff also died in the suicide attack of a Shina......"
One battle report after another exploded in the Japanese military headquarters like a thunderbolt from the sky, and many Japanese officers and Matsui Ishine buzzed in their heads!
They couldn't figure out how this battle, which had launched seven or eight regular divisions plus seven or eight brigades, totaling more than 200,000 elite troops of the empire, would actually be fought like this!
These forces can account for one-third of the Empire's forces in China!
They couldn't imagine what the result would be if this battle was completely lost, it would not only be as simple as losing a huge number of troops, it would cause an unimaginable blow to the morale of the emperor's ** team, and it would shake the empire's belief in the victory of this battle!
Everyone could have imagined that if this battle was completely defeated, the Empire's dominant position against China, which had been so hard to maintain, would collapse, and the hegemony of the Empire's East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere would come to an end!
Eighth Road, not to mention the detachment of the Independent Regiment of the Sichuan Army, those guys are never dead.
What they don't understand is that the Chongqing Front, which used to collapse like a castle made of mud and sand, how could it be like a different army this time? Are you so afraid of death?
"According to the confession of a Chinese officer captured by our army, this time the Chongqing side delegated the power of military execution to Lu Yuan!"
A Japanese general in charge of intelligence said with a hateful expression: "The officer said frankly that the reason why the Chongqing Front Army is so tenacious this time is that the senior and middle-level generals of various departments took the lead and fought to the death, which greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese army, and the reason why these generals are like this is completely because they are afraid of the ruthlessness of Lu Yuan's methods, for fear that they will make a mistake and be settled by that bastard......
"Baga, damn it's a long way off!"
"I knew it had to be something to do with this bastard, I knew it!"
"Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan, damn Lu Yuan, this bastard, what kind of grudge does the empire have with you......"
"If I catch this bastard, I'm going to skin and cramp this bastard with my own hands, and I'll kill him......"
Hearing this information, everything about the Chongqing Front's performance this time was so abnormal, there was a reasonable explanation, one by one the Japanese generals and staff officers scolded, and their teeth were gritted loudly, if Lu Yuan was in front of them now, they swore that they would bite him to death, eat his flesh, and drink his blood!
"Lu Yuan will not die for a long time, and the great cause of our empire's East Asian co-prosperity circle will not be realized one day......"
Matsui Shigen roared with a hideous face: "Tell Okamura Ninji, let Tsuneoka Kanji, Abe Norihide no matter what, this time we must break through Trojan County, completely annihilate the damn Sichuan Army Independent Regiment for me, and kill that damn Lu Yuan for me......"
"Your Excellency the Commander......"
The liaison officer said with a sad face: "Lieutenant General Changgang's department was ambushed by the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment near the Loess Ridge and suffered heavy losses, while Lieutenant General Abe has been killed and martyred in the Battle of Loess Ridge......"
"What?"
"Lieutenant General Norihide Abe died?"
Hearing this, Matsui Ishine and many officers and generals jumped up in surprise!
"Junji Midorikawa saw with his own eyes that a shell from the Eighth Route side hit the pre-war headquarters, and Lieutenant General Abe was seriously injured and died......"
The liaison officer said with difficulty: "Because the war is urgent and the soldiers have been besieged by the Eighth Route for many days, they have run out of ammunition and food, and they are even in danger of being completely annihilated, so when they broke through, our army could not even bring out the body of Lieutenant General Abe......"
"Bagaya Road ......"
Hearing this, Matsui Shigen and many generals and staff officers exclaimed sadly: "Lieutenant General Abe is the rising star of the empire, but I didn't expect that the star of the empire actually fell on Taihang Mountain......"
Hearing this, and thinking about the current situation, all the high-ranking Japanese military officers present couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in their hearts.
"His Excellency Ninji Okamura urgently telegraphed ......"
The liaison officer said: "Lieutenant General Abe's headquarters is now almost wiped out, and Tsuneoka-kun's headquarters has also suffered a major blow, the Kawagishi Division has been unable to break through the Hunyuan defense line for a long time, and it is unable to form an effective threat to the independent regiment of the Sichuan Army and the Eighth Route Army in Muma County, if Tsuneoka's Kanji Division continues to attack, I am afraid that it will be besieged, Your Excellency Okamura's intentions, do you want to let Tsuneoka-kun's headquarters temporarily retreat, and after the situation is clear, are you making plans?" ”
"Humph!"
Hearing this, Matsui Shigen said in a cold voice: "Previously, Okamura Ninji tried his best to push our army to launch a full-scale attack on Trojan County and the Eighth Route Base Area, and now he actually wants to retreat? Tell him that the reason why the Chinese army was able to inflict such a heavy blow on our army this time was because of Lu Yuan, a bastard, and asked Changgang Kanji to break through Trojan County at all costs and arrest Lu Yuan! 2k reading network
