Headquarters of the 10th Division in Yulin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After smashing the teacup and flipping the table, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka finally got the good news that in view of the serious shortage of troops in the headquarters of the 10th Division, the base camp decided to increase the number of troops to the 10th Division, the size of which was 5 infantry brigades, and in addition, the cavalry group that was originally subordinate to the North China Front Army was transferred to the 10th Division battle sequence.

After supplementation and adjustment, the troops under the jurisdiction of the 10th Division were changed from more than 10,000 men in the first division to one infantry division and regiment, plus one mixed brigade, seven brigades, and a cavalry group with two cavalry brigades under its command, with a total strength of 32,000 troops.

This is not counting the puppet army that fought with the 10th Division, plus the remaining divisions of the puppet army, the total number of Japanese puppet troops in the Yulin area reached more than 50,000 people.

Although compared with the nearly 300,000 troops of the North China Front, the 10th Division is simply not worth mentioning with more than 30,000 troops, but you must know that the 88th Division now has a regular army of more than 12,000 people, and before Wang Lung did not cross, there were few anti-Japanese forces in Philadelphia from Yulin to Chengde and other places, but because of Wang Lung's appearance, the track of history was changed.

Yes, there are many more anti-Japanese forces on the front line from Beijing to Datong and Yulin.

With the arrival of the additional troops, the commander of the 10th Division, Yoshio Shinozuka, immediately convened a military meeting to lay out the next stage of the battle plan.

The meeting was still held in the large conference room of the headquarters of the 10th Division, and included the chief of staff Tsutsutsuki Daisa, the 8th Infantry Brigade (Major General Setakehei), the 39th Wing (Numata Takazo Osa), and the 40th Wing (Yoshio Nagano). The 33rd Infantry Brigade (Major General Kei Seya) is under the command of the 10th Wing (Chishiba Yaezo Daisa) and the 63rd Wing (Fukuei Mahei Daisa). More than 30 generals, including lieutenant generals, attended.

Because a few days ago, Wang Long's subordinates were overshadowed, and even a large group of Japanese soldiers from Fugu County and Shenmu County died, so all the generals knew that His Excellency the Commander was in a very unbeautiful mood, so even if he came to the conference room early, he did not dare to brag and laugh as usual, so as not to touch the mold of His Excellency the Commander. Therefore, the whole conference room was silent, and everyone waited for the arrival of His Excellency the Commander.

"Step" "Step" "Step"

There was the peculiar sound of military leather boots outside, and everyone knew that His Excellency the Commander must have arrived, and they all straightened up and sat down in their chairs.

Sure enough, as soon as the generals were ready, the voice of the guards came from outside: "Your Excellency the commander!" ”

Soon, Yoshio Shinozuka and the chief of staff of the 10th Division, Nagatsu Fuka, and others walked into the conference room under the escort of the guards.

All the generals quickly got up, bowed their heads and chests, and bent down to show respect.

Yoshio Shinozuka strode to his place, sat down, and then said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, please take a seat!" ”

After all the officers sat down, Yoshio Shinozuka said in a deep voice: "Before the meeting begins, please ask the Long Beach Dazuo to read out an important battle report of the base camp!" ”

The Long Beach did not clamp Gui Dazuo and got up and said: "Everyone, this is the battle report sent by the base camp yesterday, and it is about the Guangzhou Raid Battle. After the Battle of Taierzhuang, the supreme military authority of China ordered the Fourth Theater to concentrate its forces near Guangzhou, intending to gather and annihilate the imperial army again. After the imperial army detected the intentions of the Chinese people, they changed to use part of their forces to contain the other side in the front, and the main force made a detour to the west, encircling Guangzhou from the flank and rear, intending to annihilate the main force of the fourth theater of operations in China. ”

"The 21st Group Army of our imperial army, under the jurisdiction of 3 divisions and 1 flight of more than 10,000 people in Sichuan, assembled in the Taiwan Strait and the Penghu Islands, preparing to capture Guangzhou. Guarding Guangzhou was Yu Hanmou's 12th Group Army (with 4 divisions and two regiments), with a total strength of 80,000 troops, but the troops were scattered and the guard was lax.

On 12 October, with the cooperation of the Fifth Fleet of the Chinese Navy, the headquarters will land at Xiaogui, Yanqian, Fanhe, and Pinghai in Daya Bay. Its main force was pressed from Iwamae to Tamsui, and the Japanese troops who landed at Van Hoa were pressing in the direction of Minoruyama.

The 10th and 5th Divisions of the Imperial Army advanced south from the flanks and carried out a diversionary attack on the 12th Army, the 6th and 65th Armies, and the 45th Army of the 20th Army. Although the Chinese army resisted stubbornly, they once stopped the imperial army on the line of Xiangang and Shiao. The Imperial Army was forced to change its tactics and encircle the west side of Guangzhou from the north and south.

After the two Japanese troops occupied Xiangang and Shi'ao respectively, they advanced to Dazengcheng at the same time, and the Japanese troops who landed on the other side from Fanhe forced in the direction of Nimsan.

In the east, the 9th and 13th divisions of the Imperial Army advanced to Huiyang at the same time along Tamsui and Nishan respectively from the Bengbu area, and the rest of the main forces attacked along the Guanghui Highway to occupy Boluo, Zengcheng, and Conghua; The other attacked Dongguan through Zhangmutou and attacked Suxian. ”

At the same time, before the end of the month, the imperial army had carried out a large-scale sweep of the periphery of Guangzhou, and the main force had approached Guangzhou, and the Chinese army had become a turtle in an urn. However, the government of China has already seen through the intentions of the imperial army, and has ordered the Fourth Theater to avoid the decisive battle, withdraw from Guangzhou, and quickly break through the siege. ”

Speaking of this, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka got up and said: "The overall situation of the Guangzhou Raider has been completed, no matter whether the headquarters of the 4th Theater of China can break through the interception of the imperial army, they have already lost this battle. After the Battle of Canton, the main forces of the North China Front could move north, so it was time to deal with the hateful 88th Division. ”

As soon as Yoshio Shinozuka's voice fell, Chief of Staff got up and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, although the Imperial Army has gained the upper hand in Guangzhou, after all, the battle is not over yet, and there may be a reversal at any time. In addition, the quality of those recruits transferred from China this time is very poor, and they still need to go through a period of training, so it is recommended that the front army not have a decisive battle with Wang Long's department for the time being! ”

"Chief of Staff doesn't clamp Gui Dazuo, do you think that the 50,000 troops of my dignified 10th Division can't deal with that infantry division?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked loudly.

"That's not it, if it's just Wang Long's infantry division, I don't have to worry about it, the problem is that Wang Long's department belongs to the Eighth Route Army. Your Excellency should know this army better than I do, and their methods of warfare are often uncertain, which is called guerrilla warfare. This tactic is extremely devoid of the spirit of bushido, and it is often fought if you can beat it, and hide if you can't beat it, just like those nasty groundhogs. ”

Then the chief of staff, Di Bujia, continued to say: "With the current strength of our army, it should not be much of a problem to defeat Wang Long's troops, but it is unlikely that they will be completely annihilated. Once they are allowed to escape, it will not be easy to catch them again, so they must be prepared to deal with Wang Long's subordinates, and they must be killed with one blow. ”

"You mean we can't attack Wang Lung's troops yet?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked with a frown.

"That's not true, it means that it is not advisable to use too many troops, so as not to startle the snake. However, we can completely send elite small troops to carry out a sneak attack on its jurisdiction, gradually eat away at the living force of the 88th Division, or provoke Wang Lung to take the initiative to launch a full-scale attack on our army. "The chief of staff does not clamp the noble Dazuo Road.

"Yo Xi! The chief of staff is not a noble man, and his words are reasonable! Then it seems that the embankment is not covered with Gui Dazuo, so how is the matter going? Yoshio Shinozuka asked.

"I have almost made preparations, and I have drawn six elite infantry squadrons from the entire division, and these squadrons are all heroic units with outstanding achievements and have made immortal contributions to our Japanese Empire. After the firepower is strengthened, their combat effectiveness can completely compete with the two reinforced battalions in a short period of time, and it is the most suitable for infiltrating and sneaking attacks! ”

"Yo Xi, then this time there will be a chief of staff of Lao who will not clamp the noble Dazuo! However, while the small army infiltrates and sneaks up, we must also prepare for the operation of the large corps, once Wang Long's department reveals a flaw, the imperial army will definitely not let them go! ”

"Hay!"

Yoshio Shinozuka stood up and said, "Order!" ”

All the generals immediately stood up and bowed their heads to listen to the orders of His Excellency the Commander.

"From now on, all units are ready for battle, and all kinds of supplies, such as ammunition and food, are immediately distributed to all units, ready to attack at any time. When you don't get an order from the headquarters, you must step up patrols to prevent Wang Long's department from infiltrating and retaliating! ”

"Hay!"

On the night of October 10, a group of cavalrymen dressed in Japanese uniforms quietly came out of Yulin City, and then went straight to a village dozens of kilometers away.

The village is located at the junction of Shenmu County and Yulin City, called Yejiagou, is a very small village, because it is close to the city of Yulin, and there is no railway in the west, after Wang Lung occupied Shenmu County, this railway has strengthened the patrol of guards and heavy weapons such as locomotives.

After Wang Lung occupied this place, he let a platoon of soldiers be stationed here to monitor the movements of the devils and give the large army time to prepare.

But since there was no place to station, they had to be stationed in the village and live with the common people.

In the middle of the night, a small Japanese army arrived in the grove outside the village. However, they did not rashly launch an attack, but carefully observed the terrain around the village, and at the same time sent people to reconnoiter and find out the strength of the Eighth Route Army.

It soon became clear to the Japanese that this was a typical small Chinese village, and that most of the houses were located in the north and facing south. Judging by the number of houses, there are at least 300 people living in the village, and there are two entrances and exits from the village, and the others are blocked. At the entrance of the village, there are Tuba Road soldiers standing guard, and there are patrols in the village.

After finding out the situation in the village, the Japanese army launched an attack, although the Eighth Route Army arranged soldiers to stand guard at the entrance of the village and also sent patrol soldiers in the village, but the Japanese army still quietly touched in.

After solving the sentry at the entrance of the village, a reinforced squadron of Japanese troops quickly entered the village and then went straight to the command post of the Eighth Route Army

Wang Lung, who was in Shenmu County, didn't know about this, and he didn't guard against the Japanese army sneaking up on them with a small force. Just when Wang Long was preparing for a sneak attack by the Japanese army, Long Yi walked in quickly with a telegram and said, "Division commander, there is an emergency report. ”

Wang Long said: "Emergency telegram? The regiment's? ”

"A group of them, it was sent by Commander Li personally!" Long Yi replied in a deep voice.

"Read!"

Long Yi hurriedly read: "Division commander, an hour ago, a reinforced platoon of our unit stationed in Yejiagou Village was attacked by about a squadron of the Japanese army. In addition, the people in Yejiagou Village also suffered heavy casualties, 267 civilians were brutally killed, and only 53 escaped by luck. The loss of grain, livestock and property is even more incalculable, and the village was also burned down by the little devils. ”

"Half an hour ago, Niujia Village, five kilometers east of Yejiagou Village, was also attacked by the Japanese army, because there was no garrison in Niujia Village, so the people of the whole village were all slaughtered by Japanese devils, and no one survived. After receiving a call from the defenders asking for help, our unit immediately sent troops to reinforce Yejiagou Village, but by the time they arrived, the Japanese army had already withdrawn. ”

"Smack!" The enamel teapot in Wang Lung's hand was slammed to the ground.

Then Wang Lung roared angrily, "Bastard, brute! This group of bitches is so brutal! ”

Before Wang Long's words fell, Long Yi's assistant Wang Ke also ran in with a telegram, although he saw that the house was in a mess, but he didn't care, and hurriedly said: "Division commander, 2 regiments are in an emergency!" ”

"What's the matter, have they also been attacked by the Japanese army?" Wang Lung asked in a deep voice.

"It was an hour ago that four villages in Fugu County were attacked by devils at the same time, and the Japanese army dispatched four reinforced squadrons to carry out a sneak attack on the four strongholds of the 200th regiment. In order to cover the transfer of the masses, the 2nd Regiment suffered heavy losses, three platoons were completely annihilated, one company was heavily damaged, and more than 200 casualties, and more importantly"

"What is it, don't spit it out, just say it!" Wang Long said.

Wang Ke gritted his teeth and said: "What's more, the people have suffered heavy casualties, and after the devils entered the village, they searched for young men from door to door. In less than an hour, 836 civilians, including 201 children and six babies less than a month old, were killed in four villages. ”

After listening to these two telegrams, Wang Lung was almost mad, and slapped the table and asked, "Li Min, how did they become the head of the regiment, did the two regiments eat dry rice?" ”

At the same time, Wang Lung pointed at Long Yi and said: "And you, who are in charge of the intelligence work in our base area, let the devils touch the village and don't know, how do you do your intelligence work?" ”

Long Yi immediately bowed his head and said, "Commander, it's true that our work is not done well, please punish me." ”

Wang Lung said angrily: "What is the use of punishing you, can you resurrect those ordinary people?" Five garrison sites were slaughtered in one night, and more than 1,000 military and civilian casualties were inflicted, which was an absolute shame for our soldiers. ”

"Yes, this is definitely a shame for our 88th Division, we must fuck the fuck hard and avenge the dead people!" Long Yi's temper also came out.

Political Commissar Ai Chunan was still relatively calm, thought for a while and said, "Division Commander, I think the little devil is scared by us. In particular, some time ago, bayonet training attacked and harassed the Japanese army everywhere, pulling out people's strongholds and bombing people's artillery towers. Eighty percent of these little devils want to give us a way to treat others in the way of others. ”

"Yes, yes, the political commissar is right, in the past, we had a small unit scattered to look for fighters, and as soon as there was an opportunity, we would gather superior forces to attack the enemy. Now the enemy is taking the initiative with a rapid reaction force to attack the villages where our small units are stationed, and to deal a devastating blow to the villages where our troops are stationed, and it seems that these little devils have grown. Chief of Staff Li Zuopeng said.

Wang Lung slapped the table and said loudly, "I don't care where this group of little devils came from, but I know the truth of killing people to pay for their lives, since everyone is here, then think about how to give the little devils color back today and avenge the dead people!" ”
