Chapter 922 - 14th Army

At three o'clock in the afternoon of September 26, 1938, the 1st Brigade and the 15th Brigade of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, the 118th Brigade of the 31st Brigade of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army, the 82nd Wing and the 83rd Wing of the 21st Division began to attack Wutai Mountain.

At the same time, the 72 150mm howitzers of the 7th and 8th Wings of the Japanese Army's Independent Field Heavy Artillery mainly covered the operations of the 1st Brigade and the 15th Brigade, and the commander of the 1st Division, Naosaburo Okabe, personally commanded the troops to fight.

The Japanese troops began to launch a fierce attack on Wutai Mountain under the cover of artillery, and this time they were vainly hoping to conquer Wutai Mountain in one fell swoop and completely annihilate the troops of the Honor Second Division.

At this time, in the headquarters of the commander of the Second Theater, Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater and a first-class general of the army, was sitting in a chair, and he was holding in his hand a telegram that he had just received from the Central Military Commission.

At this time, the Battle of Wuhan was in full swing, the Chinese troops gathered the elite troops of the whole country on the front line in Wuhan, and the Japanese troops also transferred a large number of elites, which was an earth-shattering decisive battle.

The scale of the battle here in Wutai Mountain, the second theater, naturally cannot be compared with the Battle of Wuhan, but the battle here has always affected the hearts of the military and civilians across the country.

The Honorary Second Division is now a well-known unit in the whole country, and everyone is concerned about the achievements of the Honorary Second Division.

When the achievements of the Honorary Second Division continued to spread, the determination of the military and people across the country to resist the war was extremely firm, and the Wuhan front-line combat troops even played the banner of learning from the Honorary Second Division.

Many troops desperately defended their positions, which made the little devils pay a heavy price for casualties.

The same spirit of belief can be inspired, and the honorary second division has played a tremendous role in encouraging the morale of the army.

The chairman of the committee was clearly aware of this, so he not only paid attention to the front-line operations in Wuhan, but also paid attention to the operations of the troops of the Honorary Second Division.

When the chairman learned that the troops of the Honorary Second Division were besieged in Wutai Mountain, he immediately sent a telegram to Yan Xishan, and the content of the telegram was very simple, that is, to accept the troops of the Honorary Second Division to break through at all costs.

After Yan Xishan received this telegram, he was extremely depressed, he didn't know how to make arrangements.

Now Yan Xishan's heart is very complicated, on the one hand, he must make a resolute anti-Japanese attitude, on the other hand, he does not want the Jin Sui army and the Japanese army to have a decisive battle, he does not want his hard work to build up the Jin Sui army troops to be wiped out by the Japanese army.

It was he who had this idea, so this time he only sent two regiments of troops to reinforce the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Now seeing that the Honorary Second Division was about to be completely annihilated, the chairman of the committee ordered him to organize troops to meet the troops of the Honorary Second Division to break through.

Yan Xishan instinctively wanted to disobey such an order, but he knew that once he disobeyed this military order, he would become a traitor referred to by Qianfu.

"Chairman of the committee, this is a problem for me, our Jin Sui army troops are all resting, how can we fight at this time. The Japanese army has four divisions and regiments in Wutai Mountain, and even if we dispatch a group army, it may not be an opponent of the Japanese army. Lansun, what do you say we should do now. ”

Yan Xishan looked at Chief of Staff Zhu Shouguang, and he couldn't help but show a solemn expression on his face.

The troops of the Jin Sui Army are now resting and replenishing new recruits, and Yan Xishan is absolutely unwilling to let his troops provoke the Japanese troops.

Moreover, Yan Xishan knew very well that there were still troops of the First Division of the Japanese Army in Wutai Mountain, and he felt that all these troops sent out might not be able to play a role.

"General, since the chairman wants to take over the troops of the honorary second division to break out, our Jin Sui Army has already sent two regiments of troops, and now we should hand over this task to the 14th Group Army, presumably the troops of the 14th Group Army must be willing to carry out the order of the chairman."

Zhu Shouguang hesitated slightly for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately suggested.

The 14th Group Army is a unit of the Central Army, and Yan Xishan does not plan to use the troops of the Jin Sui Army to fight, so Zhu Shouguang naturally thinks of the troops of the 14th Group Army.

"Lan Sun, what you said is very right, my Jin Sui Army has already sent troops to support the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the 14th Group Army should also express it, you immediately send a telegram to the 14th Group Army, convey the chairman's telegram order, and ask them to immediately send troops to meet the troops of the Honorary Second Division to break through." Yan Xishan said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, Chief." Zhu Shouguang saluted Yan Xishan, and then he walked out quickly.

After Zhu Shouguang left, Yan Xishan looked at the map, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Yan Xishan is very clear about the achievements of the troops of the Honorary Second Division, and Yan Xishan wants to get such a unit.

It's just that Sun Weiguo is determined to follow the Eighth Route Army, which makes Yan Xishan very helpless.

"General Seat, this time the troops of the 1st Independent Infantry Regiment and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment disobeyed the military order, what do you think should be done?" A major general's staff officer came to Yan Xishan, and he asked softly.

The 1st Independent Infantry Regiment and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment are currently suffering heavy losses, and the 2nd Theater Commander's Department is also aware of this casualty, but they intend to pursue the disobedience of these two regiments.

"After the battle, I am saying that they disobeyed the order to fight the Japanese army, resulting in serious losses in the troops, and I will definitely not let them go this time." Yan Xishan said in a cold tone.

Yu Jinming, the commander of the Third Cavalry Regiment, has been killed in battle, and the current acting commander is a battalion commander, while the commander of the First Independent Infantry Regiment is the regiment commander Fang Yan.

Dingjiazhuang, Fuping County, the Japanese army was independently mixed into the third brigade headquarters.

After receiving a telegram from Kaoru Kawamura, the commander of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade, the Japanese troops immediately came to reinforce them, but when the troops of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade were completely annihilated, the troops of the Third Independent Mixed Brigade still did not advance much, and now they were completely besieged by the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

After Sasaki was besieged by the troops of the Eighth Route Army, he began to ask for help, and at the same time he ordered his troops to strengthen the fortifications and prepare for a long-term defense.

At first, the devil soldiers were only attacked by the troops of the Jinchaji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and the devil soldiers were still able to resist the attack by relying on their superiority in weapons.

However, with the arrival of the Mobile Combat Group of the Honorable Second Division, the situation of the Japanese army has changed greatly, and the Japanese troops are now completely at a disadvantage.

If it weren't for the Japanese air force holding air supremacy, I am afraid that the units of the 3rd Brigade would have been completely annihilated by now.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the Sixth Brigade of the Independent Infantry has lost contact, and it is very likely that the Yuanjia Village where they are stationed has been captured by the Chinese troops, and the aviation units have left, and the Chinese tank troops are about to launch an attack on us."

At this time, Chief of Staff Nakasa came to Sasaki to Ichichi, and he reported in a solemn tone.
