Chapter 846 The First Battle of Changsha (II)

The overall deployment of the Japanese army in the First Battle of Changsha was that the main force went out in three directions and unfolded one after another.

The 106th Division of northern Jiangxi, which was the first to attack, attacked from east to west with the cooperation of the 101st Division, which not only covered the strategic attempt of the Japanese army in northern Hunan to capture Changsha, but also contained the Luo Zhuoying group in northern Jiangxi.

The next attack was the main force of the Japanese army, the Xiangbei Group. The Japanese army was divided into three routes, of which the 6th Division attacked head-on along the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, planning to break through the Xinqiang River, encircle and annihilate the 15th Group Army of the Ninth Theater between the Miluo River and the Xinqiang River, and then aim directly at Changsha. On the west side of the 6th Division was the Kamimura Detachment of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, which attacked Yingtian by motorboat through Dongting Lake, planning to copy the rear road of the 15th Army north of the Miluo River. On the east side of the 6th Division was the Nara Detachment consisting of the 26th Infantry Brigade of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, whose mission was to cover the flank security of the 6th Division and flank the 15th Army.

The last to attack was the 15th Division in the southern Hunan direction, and the plan was to start from Tongcheng and Tongshan, and attack Pingjiang in a roundabout way through Maishi and Longmen. Although the Japanese army in southern Hunan was the secondary attack direction, it was arranged by Okamura Ninji to kill. As long as the 15th Division can make a roundabout flank attack without knowing it, it will be difficult for the main force of the Ninth Theater north of the Miluo River defense line to escape. However, to Okamura's surprise, as soon as the 15th Division was launched, it was discovered by Yang Sen's 20th Army. This time, Yang Sen showed his true character as a man, not only playing with women, but also fighting devils, while reporting to Xue Yue, he actually commanded the troops to meet him, and he entangled the 15th Division, relying on the enthusiasm of the Sichuan Army, and it was a blocking and flanking attack, which delayed the offensive speed of the 15th Division, allowing the 15th Army to retreat calmly, and winning time for Xue Yue to adjust its deployment. Otherwise, not to mention other troops, just the fact that Li Jue's 107th Division of the 70th Army withdrew from its position without authorization would send the elite 19th Division of the Hundred Battles into the tiger's mouth of the Japanese army.

Up to now, the Japanese army's plot to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Ninth Theater north of the Miluo River and south of the Xinqiang River has been completely shattered, and the only result is the capture of Changsha, which depends on whether the Japanese army can get it.

The main force of the Ninth Theater of the Nationalist Army successfully retreated from the north of the Miluo River, but the common people in this area suffered. The common people, who didn't have time to retreat, finally saw what an Oriental bandit was.

Okamura Ninji no longer flaunts his Japanese military discipline, and no longer says anything so that the big girl is not afraid when she sees the Japanese army, and takes the initiative to get close and say hello, the Japanese army is like a group of beards who have been starving in the mountains for a winter, and they rob whatever they see, food, livestock, gold and silver, legal currency, including the tables, chairs, bowls, chopsticks and little devils that the common people eat, and they will burn them if they can't get rid of them. The houses on both sides of the road from Xiangyin along Changsha's Yuanjialing to Pingjiang County were burned down, more than 200 houses were burned in Changshou Street, two-thirds were burned in Chiayiling, and the rest of the townships were full of smoke from the fire and smoke of the Japanese army's burning houses. It would be better if the Japanese army were just bandits and beards who looted property. This group of brutes regarded killing people as simpler than drinking cold water, and in Xinshi alone, the Japanese army killed more than 500 civilians who had no time to retreat. The most infuriating thing is that the Japanese army caught women, whether they were old or young, and they went up **, **. ** After that, the insulted women were gathered, or stood against the wall, or placed flat on the ground, let the military reporters take pictures, send them back to Yueyang to wash them out, post them all over the street, and publish them in newspapers.

Now there is a very strange situation on the battlefield, after Xue Yue adjusted his deployment, the 20th Army and the 79th Army spread out on the left and right flanks of the Japanese 15th Division, as if they were escorting prisoners. Okamura Ninji had no choice, fearing that the newly established 15th Division of the three-unit division would lose, so he urgently ordered the Nara detachment of the 13th Division to occupy Pingjiang to the east and meet the 15th Division. In this way, only the Shangcun detachment of the 6th Division and the 3rd Division were left to kill Changsha.

After Qin Yizhi, commander of the 195th Division of the 52nd Army of the 15th Group Army of the National ** Army, and Han Meicun, chief of staff, led the troops to withdraw across the Miluo River, they were ordered by Guan Linzheng, commander-in-chief of the group army, to establish a position between Fulin Pu and Shangshan City, preparing to block the lagging enemy and cover the main force of the group army to arrange a decisive battle position in the suburbs of Changsha to fight a decisive battle with the enemy.

This Qin Yizhi is a native of Anding, Guangxi, the second phase of Huangpu, participated in the Northern Expedition during the school, served as the deputy district captain and district captain of the third phase of Huangpu, and joined the Communist Party. After Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 Incident, Qin Yizhi went to Shanghai in 1928, broke away from the Communist Party, and went to Nanjing Central Military Academy to study, and later participated in four and five operations to encircle and suppress the Soviet area, and the Great Wall Gubeikou War of Resistance. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Qin Yizhi participated in the northern section of Pinghan Road and was wounded in the chest in the defense of Baoding. Later, he participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang and the Battle of Wuhan, and was promoted to the commander of the 195th Division.

Qin Yizhi is from the second phase of Huangpu, and his chief of staff Han Meicun is from the third phase of Huangpu, and he was the head of the regiment as early as the northern section of Pinghan Road during the Anti-Japanese War, and he also killed all the way from the Battle of Taierzhuang and the Battle of Xuzhou. However, Han Meicun was unlucky, when he was the chief of staff of the 195th Division, the former division commander Tan Kai obeyed him. On one occasion, he made an operational suggestion to the military headquarters, wrote a piece full of paper, and sent it to the military headquarters in a hurry, where he happened to meet Guan Linzheng, acting commander-in-chief of the 15th Group Army, studying personnel issues with army commander Zhang Yaoming at the military headquarters of the 52nd Army, and instead of praising Han Meicun, he said that the commander of the 195th Division was at the mercy of the chief of staff, transferred Tan Kai, and demoted Han Meicun from major general to colonel and became colonel chief of staff.

On the way down from the Xinqiang River, seeing the miserable scene of the common people retreating with the army, Han Meicun couldn't help it for a long time. When they arrived at the Miluo River, Han Meicun suggested stopping the retreat and blocking the devils by the Miluo River. Qin Yizhi also agreed, and reported to the military headquarters that the Japanese army was pursuing only a few thousand troops in the south, and the 195th Division requested to deploy defenses on the Miluo River, resolutely stop the devils, and avenge Shi Enhua and other brothers who died in battle.

Qin Yizhi and Han Meicun didn't know Xue Yue's Heavenly Furnace tactics, nor did they know that Xue Yue wanted to lure the Japanese army to the front line of the Laodao River step by step to encircle and annihilate them, so they would make such a suggestion. Needless to say, Guan Linzheng, commander-in-chief of the 15th Group Army, sent a telegram back ordering the 195th Division to withdraw to Fulinpu and deploy between Shangshan City.

Late at night on the 26th, Qin Yizhi and Han Meicun, who had just led their troops to Fulinpu, received an order from Xue Yue personally. At this time, the two of them knew that Commander Xue Dai had such a good appetite to encircle and annihilate the Japanese troops in the northern suburbs of Changsha.

Xue Yue's order made it clear that this battle is related to the life and death of the Republic of China, and the commanders, army commanders, and division commanders of all group armies, corps, and divisions must earnestly control the troops and command them from the front.

Xue Yue also said that he himself, Chief Bai and Commander Chen swore to live and die with Changsha, and he would die in Changsha, and he would never take half a step back.

Of course, in order to boost morale, Xue Yue attached the full text of Liu Yimin's telegram to the Military Commission and his telegram. In the end, Xue Yue said in the telegram: "If the Eighth Route Army can destroy the elite of the Japanese Eighth Division in World War I, the Japanese Tenth Division in World War I, and the Japanese 14th Division in World War I, can't the 500,000 athletes in my Ninth Theater eliminate the Sixth Division in World War I?" Can the Ninth War Zone be looked down upon by the Eighth Route Army and laughed at by the Eighth Route Army? Can the Ninth War Zone allow Liu Yimin to command? ”

Liu Yimin used the radical general method against Xue Yue, and Xue Yue used the radical general method on the participating troops in the Ninth War Zone. Suddenly, the Japanese army attacking Changsha became transparent, and the participating troops knew that the enemy in front of them had such a small number of troops, and even those newly formed troops had no fear, just waiting for the Japanese army to drill into the furnace.

The unlucky little devil was naturally the Sixth Division that was ordered to attack Changsha.

Due to the complete destruction of transportation, the Japanese armored vehicles and cars could not drive, and the rubber-tyred carts could not run. As a result, the speed of the advance of the 6th Division and the Shangcun Detachment of the 3rd Division, which had branched south from the Miluo River, was greatly affected.

Until the morning of the 29th, Qin Yizhi and Han Meicuncai, who were so anxious that they stomped their feet, saw a dirty plaster flag through the binoculars.

Qin Yizhi had already received a report that just yesterday, a brigade of the Shangcun detachment fell into an ambush circle of the 77th Division of Peng Weiren's 73rd Army at Sanjieqiao and Liqiao. This time, the whole army of the 77th Division came out and beat the little devils.

According to the original order of the group army, Qin Yizhi's 195th Division needed to block the devils in Fulinpu to Shangshan City for 3 days, and then retreat and continue to lure the enemy. Now that Xue Yue has adjusted his deployment, Qin Yizhi and Han Meicun are determined to directly ambush the devil. Because their position is on the right flank, the little devils have limited strength to attack Fu Linpu, and the search company has already made contact with the search force of the devils at dusk yesterday, and at the cost of the sacrifice of the company commander Jin Ming, it was found that the little devils who are advancing to Fu Linpu are only a brigade.

Since there is to be an ambush, the deployment of troops is different. Historically, Qin Yizhi's deployment was that the search company attached to the 566th Brigade formed the first line of defense with Fulinpu as the core; The supplementary regiment formed a second line of defense between Fuxing Temple and Fulinpu; The 565th Brigade was in reserve, assembled 10 miles away from Fuxing Temple; The division headquarters is stationed in Fuxing Temple. Now that the situation has changed, Qin Yizhi and Han Meicun have pulled up all the two brigades, with Fulinpu as the core, relying on the surrounding villages, and arranged an ambush circle. The supplementary regiment was to serve as a reserve, and the search team was responsible for luring the enemy into an ambush. They wanted to annihilate the enemy who attacked Fu Linpu in one fell swoop.

It was a brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army that attacked Fulinpu. Originally, with the Nara detachment as the cover of the right flank, the Sixth Division only had to concentrate on moving forward and attacking Changsha. Now as the Nara detachment turned to capture the 15th Division in response to Pingjiang, Inaba Shiro had no choice but to send two brigades to cover the right flank, one of which was to kill Fulinpu and one to Kanai.

Although the 6th Division is a brutal beast division, it is by no means ambiguous to fight. You see, the little devil came up and first sent a team to launch a tentative attack on Fu Linpu.

This time, the 195th Division did not dig a position in advance as in history, so that the little devils could see it clearly, so that they could calmly set up artillery and start shelling, and if the attack did not go well, they called for planes to bomb, but relied on the village to build a position, and the little devils could not find the defenders at all if they could not attack them.

The devil's search team cautiously arrived at the entrance of Fulinpu Village, but there was no movement in the village. The leader of the devil squad led the team ordered the flag soldiers to send a safety signal and prepared to rush into the village. At this time, the national army guarding Fulinpu Village opened fire, and dense gunfire rang out, and machine guns and rifles were fired at the little devil. A squad of more than fifty devils died at once.

Although the 195th Division is the elite of the Central Army, there is still a gap between the level of ambushes and the Eighth Route Army. If it were replaced by the instructors, the 115th Division, the Independent Division, the 129th Division, and the 120th Division, they would definitely not shoot, and would put this search team into the village and solve it with bayonets. Especially the instructor, the next step will be to disguise the devil, send the flag, and the yin* little devil brigade will enter the village. In that way, the battle time was short, the losses of the troops were small, and the results were still large.

This is also something that cannot be helped, the brothers of the 195th Division are used to positional warfare, they can't speak Japanese, and they can't use the flag language of the Japanese army, so it's good to be able to fight.

The sound of gunfire alarmed the Japanese captain. This guy, on the front line of the Xinqiang River, fought a bloody battle with the Chinese army, after breaking through the Xinqiang River, he basically did not encounter a major battle, and now he has broken through the Miluo River, Changsha is in sight, but the division commander ordered him to serve as a flank cover, this guy is still very unhappy in his heart, I can't imagine that in this small Fulinpu, one of his search teams actually fell under the muzzle of the despicable Zhina's sneak attack in his telescope. When will Chiang Kai-shek's government army also make a sneak attack, could it be that the Eighth Route Army from Shandong has come to Changsha?

The captain of the devil's brigade was fixed, thinking that it was impossible for the Eighth Route Army to come to Changsha, so he ordered the artillery to set up positions, recruited four squadron leaders, and deployed the attack in a serious manner.

Soon, an infantry squadron of the devils launched an attack on Fu Linpu under the cover of two tanks; A squadron was in charge of the search on both flanks, and several infantry squads of imps with rifles and machine guns began to attack and search the small villages around Fulinpu. The Devil Brigade Captain took two infantry squadrons and began to build a position, preparing to meet the Devil Squadron attacking Fu Linpu.

Qin Yizhi and Han Meicun won't give the little devil a chance.

Just when the captain of the devil brigade ordered the artillery to open fire and the devil infantry squadron launched an attack on Fu Linpu, Qin Yi issued an order to attack the whole line. In an instant, the troops of the 195th Division slaughtered from the villages around Fulinpu, light and heavy machine guns and mortars greeted the devil vigorously, and the brothers held their guns, shouted, shot, and rushed towards the little devil.

The reason why Okamura Ninji allocated the strength to attack Changsha according to the ratio of one brigade to one division of the national army was because he knew the national army too well and knew that the national army was fighting, and it was generally a little bit of a breakthrough and wavering along the entire line, and when he found that there was a danger of being surrounded by a roundabout, he immediately retreated. A Japanese brigade, under the cover of tanks, artillery and aircraft, attacked the defense line of the national army a little, and it was completely possible to break through, and the national army would naturally retreat. In that case, the Japanese infantry brigade would soon be transferred to blocking operations. Including the 15th Army's defense of the Xinqiang River defense line, as soon as it was discovered that the Japanese 15th Division was in danger of flanking the right flank of the group army, it immediately deployed and retreated.

It's a pity that the situation is different now, Liu Yimin made the Japanese army's plans and troop deployment clear, including Xue Yue, and saw through the Japanese army. I also knew that the flank troops of the Japanese army were pinned down by our army and would not be able to reach the battlefield for a while. At this time, it is the time when our army occupies the right time, place and people, where will we be afraid of the little devils and let the little devils go?

The 195th Division made an all-out attack and surrounded the devils at once. At this time, the captain of the devil brigade was not surprised, and immediately ordered the two infantry squadrons at his hand to form a battle formation and shoot at the Chinese army, in an attempt to repel the attack of the 195th Division.

The Sixth Division was the most elite unit of the entire Japanese army invading China, with a strong will to fight and strong combat effectiveness. The 195th Division is the elite of the 52nd Army, with a large proportion of veterans of a hundred battles and strong combat effectiveness, and is a veritable trump card on the entire battlefield of the Battle of Changsha. This time, it is equivalent to the tip of the needle against Maimang.

The Japanese army suffered a loss because it was trapped in the encirclement, and the 195th Division suffered a loss because of the lack of heavy weapons.

Qin Yizhi and Han Meicun were anxious to see it in the command post, and kept ordering all troops to concentrate their firepower, rush up, compress the devils, and cut the devils.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the little devil's plane rushed to the battlefield, but the enemy and us were already twisted together, and the devil's plane had no choice but to drop bombs on Fulinpu Village, which caused fire and smoke to fill the Fulinpu.

By the time the little devils attacked the infantry squadron of Fu Linpu and the infantry squadron that searched and attacked the villages, the captain of the devil brigade already knew that the defeat was inevitable, and hurriedly sent a report to the wing commander and the brigade commander for help, and organized a breakthrough.

If you want to run at this time, it's not that easy

Qin Yi was bloody, and personally pounced with the supplementary regiment, and a loud charge sounded on the battlefield, urging the athletes to move forward

The terrain around Fu Linpu is undulating undulating undulating land, no dangerous location, the little devil is here to attack, just arrived at the battlefield and was ambushed, not to mention the construction of strong fortifications, even the straggler pits, trenches are too late to dig. Although the 195th Division suffered great losses on the Xinqiang River defense line, after all, it was a division of two brigades and four regiments plus a supplementary regiment, and there were more ants to bite and kill elephants, not to mention that the Japanese army was just a two-legged beast, and it was still two legs away from a four-legged elephant?

The battle of Fulinpu ended with the two devil tanks that took the lead in escaping and fell into a rice field, and the 195th Division paid the price of more than 1,800 casualties and completely annihilated a brigade of the Sixth Division. This casualty ratio, put aside in the past, the national army did not even dare to think about it.

After reorganizing the troops, Qin Yizhi and Han Meicun immediately commanded the troops to turn around, killed the Japanese troops attacking Jinjing, and launched a flank attack on the devils with the troops guarding Jinjing.

On the 29th, the devils who attacked the Laodao River and killed the Laodao River had already arrived at the counterattack of the Chinese army on all fronts and fell into an ambush circle.
