Section 8 Recovering Wuhan II
A series of requests for tactical guidance almost made Anan Wei collapse, his face was pale, staring blankly at the map, the red and blue arrows seemed to be turning into two teams of soldiers in fierce battles, the Japanese soldiers in yellow, the Chinese soldiers in gray, they were shouting, fighting, the yellow color had gradually become exhausted, and they were retreating in a hurry, and the gray ** people were pressing step by step. \.qÎēV.

"Your Excellency! Excellency! Anan turned around a few times and saw Kinoshita Yumasa looking at him nervously, his face was also pale again, and his eyes were mixed with panic.
"Don't panic, don't panic." Anan felt that his voice was very stable and calm, but in Kinoshita's ears, it was so pale and weak. Anan turned around and looked at the map a few times, and now he had two wings of the 68th Division that rushed to the top of his hands, as well as the Yoshikawa Brigade, the vanguard of the 17th Division, with a total strength of more than 8,000 people.
"When will the 15th Division arrive?" Anan asked Kinoshita a few times.
"Tomorrow the Shiyuan Brigade will arrive tomorrow, the attacks of the China Air Force are too frequent, and they can only be transported at night." Isamu Kinoshita explained.
"Order the Wuhan soldiers in the township to immediately organize and prepare to join the war." Anan Weiwei said in a deep voice that the Township Soldiers' Association was originally an organization of Japanese retired soldiers, and after the soldiers retired from the army, they entered the Township Soldiers' Association, and now this Township Soldiers' Association has developed into an overseas Chinese association, and the Japanese army often uses this kind of organization to organize overseas Chinese and go into battle in times of emergency.
However, Wuhan was different from Shanghai, where there were about 100,000 expatriates at that time, but now there are only 20,000 or 30,000 expatriates in Wuhan at most, excluding the elderly, children, and women, and the maximum number of people who can participate in the war is 2,000.
But Kinoshita did not hesitate and was about to draft the order, when Anan Yuji added: "Women form a women's standing team, and children over the age of twelve form a young standing team." â
Kinoshita Yong was really surprised, he looked up at Anan Yuji, Anan Weiji was expressionless, Kinoshita Yui sighed softly in his heart, it seems that the commander has made the worst plan, these women and children have no combat effectiveness in the field except for playing a role in defending the city, they may not even be able to hold a gun steadily.
Kinoshita hesitated, but still drafted the order, now there is no other way, everywhere is in a hurry, the war has been going on for nearly six years, and the squadron is getting stronger and stronger, and the more it fights, the more it fights. The Imperial Army has wiped out millions of armies, but the people of China have raised millions of armies, when will the Holy War be completely victorious, and will it still be victorious?
"The telegram ordered Toshima to give up Xinyang, go south with all his might, and recapture Wusheng Pass, and Wusheng Pass must be recaptured." Anan Wei's tone increased a little: "Then leave no less than two wings of troops to guard the Wusheng Pass and block the pursuing Shina army." â
Abandoning Xinyang was a suggestion to send troops, but Anan Wei had some hope in his heart, hoping that the North China Dispatch Army, at least Gu Shoufu from Henan, could go south in the shortest possible time, break through the Zhina Army on the Pinghan Line, save Xinyang, and reinforce Wuhan.
But now this hope has turned into despair, and at the same time as the ninth and third theaters of operation, the first theater also began to operate, and the 31st Group Army launched a diversion attack on Zhengzhou, containing Gu Shoufu's actions.
The movement of the North China Dispatch Army was also relatively fast, but on the Pinghan Line, Chinese guerrillas were active, railways had been bombed several times, and military transportation was frequently blocked.
Now it is no longer possible to count on the North China side, even if Okamura Ningji's troops reach Henan, they still have to break through the defense line of the Fifth Army, and when they fight all the way to Wuhan, and then go to Zhongxiang to relieve the siege of Kanda, I am afraid that the bones of the officers and men of the Sixth Division will be cold.
The strong man broke his wrist and could only give up Xinyang, hoping that the Third Division could break out of the encirclement, rush to Wuhan and then fight with the troops of the 1st Ninth Theater, and then march west to relieve the siege for Kanda, as for Nanchang, it can only be seen whether the dispatch army command can find a way.
Anan Weiji didn't explain, the sad atmosphere in the war room became even stronger, Anan Weiji sighed in his heart, he didn't know what would happen next, but now he could only do this.
The wheels of war are rolling irreversibly forward, slowly, but with firm steps.
Zhuang Jihua looked at the entire battle situation, there were fierce battles everywhere, the situation on the battlefield was very favorable, the only hidden danger was the 13th Division, after the 13th Division entered the forest, it cleverly set up an ambush and annihilated a battalion of the tracking security brigade, and then disappeared. This made Zhuang Jihua very worried, and he didn't know when and where he came out.
In order to maintain the exception, he ordered the 101st Army to march west along the Zhongshan Pass and stationed in the Yuzhu Temple, with the front in the cigarette lamp packet. Put the 101st Army here, no matter which direction the 13th Division emerges from, the 101st Army can arrive in the shortest possible time. The 86th Army attacked from the southern foot of Guanzhuang Lake and drove the Japanese army eastward. The 94th Army attacked the 6th Division and formed a flank attack with the 102nd Army and the 36th Division guarding Dechun Mountain and Zhongxiang City.
"This deployment is stable," Xu Zuyi teased: "Cultural Revolution, your style seems to have changed." â
"Win with the right fit, win with the odd." Zhuang Jihua replied calmly: "But this can't be said rigidly, now I have more troops than him, firepower is stronger than him, and there is an air force advantage, and Kanda is leading a group of tired soldiers, logistics are cut off, there is no food, no ammunition replenishment, the wounded cannot be placed, I don't need to worry, all things are stable, there are fewer loopholes, and Kanda has no chance." â
Xu Zuyi nodded slightly, He Wei also nodded yes, he pursed his mouth, stepped forward and pointed to Jingshan and said: "Jingshan, Jingshan is the key at present, there are only a few thousand people left in the 58th Division, containing the 36th Group Army, and conquering Jingshan, it will completely cut off the connection between Kanda in Wuhan, and it can echo the 11th Group Army attacking south of the Yangtze River." â
"That's right, order Song Xilian to conquer Jingshan within two days and annihilate the 58th Division." Zhuang Jihua said with a straight face, his tone was faintly dissatisfied, he had some complaints about Song Xilian in his heart, although the 36th Group Army fought well and completed the tasks well, Zhuang Jihua felt that Song Xilian still retained his strength.
He Wei actually has this opinion, so there is a sense of accusation in the proposal just now. Zhuang Jihua grabbed the hat on the table and walked out of the door: "I went to sleep, and Uchiyama Eitaro didn't show up, so don't wake me up." â
After Song Xilian received the order, he shook his head slightly, of course he saw the criticism in the order, but he also had a bitter feeling, the main force of the 36th Division was transferred, and the sharpest swords in his hands - the tank regiment and the heavy artillery regiment were too dependent on road traffic, and the early operations had been in the mountainous areas, and the tank regiments could not keep up at all, and the roads in the mountains could not meet the needs of tank movement at all.
However, in the past few days, the tank regiment has rushed to the city of Jingshan, and the heavy artillery has also arrived. Now the outer positions of Jingshan are all in his hands, and thousands of remnants of the 58th Division are trapped in the city. But the trapped beast is still fighting, and a strong attack will bring large casualties, and this is why he has not launched a final offensive against the 58th Division so far.
"The second and third battalions of the tank regiment moved to the area of Shagupo to hide," under the dim light of the oil lamp, Song Xilian's face was a little red, but his eyes were resolute: "The 40th Division of the Eighth Army attacked the West Gate, the 166th Division was equipped with the 1st Battalion of the Tank Regiment to attack the North Gate, and the 95th Division attacked the North Gate. The 81st Division of the 78th Army was between the West Gate and the North Gate, and the 76th Division was temporarily organized to hide in Lilin Bay outside the East Gate. â
Song Xilian's method was to encircle three and let one go, force the 58th Division to abandon Jingshan and flee south, and then use the tank regiment to pursue and kill the Japanese army to the greatest extent in the pursuit.
As the sun peeked out of the sky, the sound of cannons pierced the silence before dawn, and the earth began to tremble. The head of the city was torn apart, flesh and blood were flying, 105 howitzers, 150 howitzers, seventy-five mountain cannons, all kinds of shells, turning dawn into night again.
The whole city was burning, smoke covered the streets and alleys, and soldiers took refuge in panic in the smoke and fire. Shimono Kazuho hid in a corner, covering his ears with his hands, such artillery fire was rare even in the history of the imperial army, if anything, only during the Battle of Songhu, when he was the chief of staff of the Sixth Division.
In just six years, the firepower of the Chinese army has surpassed that of the imperial army. Six years ago, the imperial army of a division could run after 100,000 Zhina, but now, the Zhina army is completely challenging to meet the imperial army.
"Boom!" A cannonball exploded nearby, and a layer of dust fell from the sky. Shimono shrank down, and several shells exploded nearby.
Xia Zhi's heart was full of despair, he knew very well that with the current state of the 58th Division and the current artillery fire of the Zhina Army, Jingshan could not be held at all, but Anan Weiji insisted that he hold Jingshan and not retreat. He understood the meaning of Anan's order, Jingshan was the only way to reinforce the besieged 6th Division and the 17th Division, and he held Jingshan, which was equivalent to leaving a glimmer of hope for Kanda.
For two hours, the shelling lasted for two hours, and as soon as the shelling stopped, Kazuho Shimono jumped out of the shelter, and the officers of the division headquarters also ran out of the shelter, and the streets, in the rubble, were full of hoarse shouts, junior officers were calling for their soldiers, and the wounded were screaming and calling for doctors.
There were already bursts of fierce gunfire and explosions at the head of the city, Shimono Kazuho didn't stop long, stepped to the table in two steps, stretched out his hand to brush the dust off the map, and half of the command had already collapsed, one end of the beam was propped up on the ground, half of the roof collapsed, burying the chief of staff Yuan Jiang who was hiding there inside, and the two officers were digging him out of the rubble.
The situation in the city has not yet come, but Shimono Kazuho has already heard that there are no gunshots at the south gate, and the gunfire from the east and west to the north is fierce, especially at the north gate.
"I'll go to the north gate, Yuan Jiangjun, I'll leave it to you here." Shimono Ichiho didn't care about Genjiang, who was wrapping his wounds, and didn't even glance at his injuries, he raised his feet and ran towards the north gate.
