Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Expected Enemy
Ushijima's life and death are unknown, and the news of Saeda's death has been proven, although Okamoto Zhenchen has fled back, but the people who have returned from his 23rd Wing are not even enough for a brigade.
With such bad news in your arms, how can you keep Lieutenant Admiral Inaba at peace again? At the end of this battle, General Inaba will be transferred from the 6th Division, and perhaps he will return to Tokyo to face a court trial, right? Shiro Inaba has acquaintances in the upper echelons of the military and the Japanese cabinet, and all he is thinking about now is how to trust his acquaintances to get rid of this bad luck after he goes back, and of course he is not particularly concerned about the retreat of the division.
This is also the reason why Lieutenant General Inaba was so shocked by the death of the cavalry wing commander. Born into a prestigious family, the Inoki family has considerable influence in Japanese politics. Originally, this time Lieutenant General Inaba was going to go back, with the help of the influence of the Inoki Daisa family, to help him get through the difficulties, who knows, this hard-lived Inoki Konta actually died like this! This is good, but it can't help, but it has become a resistance!
I knew that the cavalry Dazuo would be so easy to die, and he should have been left at the division headquarters! Shiro Inaba pounds his thigh hard! Lieutenant General Inaba was now thinking about these things, how could he still have the energy to designate a retreat route for the artillery wing?
Where does he have the time to manage how the division group retreats? Anyway, the place where he stayed was the division headquarters, the center of the whole division. As long as the 6th Division is not defeated, Lieutenant General Inaba will have peace of mind. The general direction has been set, isn't it just a retreat to the north? Which captain, the co-captain does not know? Whether there is a lieutenant general to command or not, everyone knows about the retreat to the north.
Due to Lieutenant General Inaba's absent-mindedness, coupled with the Chinese army's encirclement and interception, the officers at all levels of the Sixth Division were all in chaos. Personally, thinking about this person's business, everyone patronized and led their troops to retreat, and the cover and care for each other were already in vain. Therefore, the 6th Field Artillery Wing, which was supposed to be at the forefront of the division's retreat, was caught up by the 500 Division Independent Brigade!
Field artillery wings, as the name suggests, will not move too fast. Especially in such a situation of extremely harsh terrain, the speed of the field artillery wing is even slower.
The 6th Division was originally a mechanized division, with tanks, trucks, and motorcycles. Today, most of these vehicles are no longer usable, and only a small number of tracked armored vehicles can barely drive. With these carts to carry cannons, it's okay if the number is less, but there are too many cars, and there are really not so many cars in the division!
Just when the Japanese soldiers of the field artillery wing, pushing their artillery, were fighting against countless potholes and muddy ponds, Zhang Erxiao led two regiments of his independent brigade up. Our soldiers came up and put on a posture of strong attack, and the devils put down their cannons, picked up their rifles, and fought with our fighters.
The wing commander of the field artillery wing, Ken Tengmura, was a Japanese officer with considerable combat experience. Seeing a large number of Chinese soldiers surrounding, Fujimura ordered his artillerymen to drop their cannons and shells, and quickly pick up their rifles, machine guns, and grenadiers to meet the enemy.
Due to the rapid reaction of the Japanese troops, the first wave of attacks by the Separate Brigade did not work. The combat effectiveness of the devil is quite strong, even if it is artillery, it is a well-trained fighter. Our soldiers, on the other hand, are more trained on the battlefield, and when they fight, they are brave and brave, but they are much behind the Japanese in terms of shooting accuracy and bayonet fighting skills.
We have all heard the legend that a devil soldier can fight several soldiers of the national army with a bayonet. Actually, this is not a legend, it was a fact at the time. In the national army, there are many soldiers who were captured by strong men, and they have not been trained yet, and the front-line war is tight, so they are directly pulled to the front. And the soldiers of the devil are all veterans who have undergone several years of systematic training, such a comparison, the bayonet is put together, so how to fight? Our soldiers haven't even learned!
The 500 division is slightly better. This unit has been fighting devils on the battlefield for a long time, and when he is idle, Gao Quan, as the division commander, attaches great importance to training, and the personal quality of the soldiers is not a little stronger than that of some local military departments. However, if it is compared with the famous troops of the 74th Army, the 1st Army, and the 52nd Army, it is still a cut off from the boss.
Zhang Erxiao saw that the devil's defense was very organized, and he knew that he couldn't defeat this devil at once. If it doesn't work all at once, just two times, and if it doesn't work twice, three times, since he caught up, Zhang Erxiao didn't plan to let go of this group of devils. More than 3,000 people of the Independent Brigade began to launch a wave attack on the devil artillery wing like a wave in the sea, one Lang after another.
When Fujimura Osa led his troops to defend, he asked the division headquarters for reinforcements, and he knew that with his own people, he would not be able to stop the Chinese army for long.
Shiro Inaba was thinking about himself when he suddenly saw such a telegram asking for help, and he was shocked on the spot! If he loses the field artillery wing again, and throws Tengmura Kendazuo on the battlefield again, I'm afraid it will be useless for him to plead with anyone! Committing suicide by caesarean section is probably his best choice. For the sake of his own life, his Excellency Lieutenant General will order his troops to change formation and send another ace of the 13th Wing to meet Fujimura Daisa.
Of course, the combat effectiveness of the 13th Wing is strong, and the two armies are really facing each other, and the possibility of the independent brigade parrying it is really not great. However, in the dark, as if a god was blessing Zhang Erxiao, on the way halfway to the Thirteenth Wing's murderous direction towards the artillery wing, Okamoto Baoyuki Osa was actually attacked halfway!
This is really rare in the history of the 13th Wing. How dare an enemy take the initiative to attack the famous Thirteenth Wing? When Okamoto Hoyuki Osa heard the news, he was surprised for a short time, and he was immediately furious! He led his men to attack this enemy who dared to slap the tiger's whiskers!
Who is this? Who else could there be? Of course, it was General Qin Yizhi and his 195th Division.
The 195th Division received a report on the battle situation of the 20th Brigade, and after Commander Qin reported to the army commander, General Zhang Yaoming, he led his 195th Division to catch up from behind. The 195th Division is a regular army, and Qin Yizhi is a full-fledged student who graduated from the second phase of Whampoa. General Tan, who was familiar with military books and war strategies, knew the truth of the speed of soldiers, and led the troops to march forcibly all the way, and when he reached the south bank of the Miluo River, he happened to meet the 13th Wing of Xingtou Zhenggao.
Others are afraid of the Thirteenth Wing, but General Qin has been looking forward to this strong enemy for a long time! Only by defeating such a famous enemy can he show his extraordinary ability!
At this point, Master Qin's heart was full of gratitude to Wang Dazhu! Without Brigade Commander Wang's reminder, how could he have a chance to lead the entire 195th Division to shake the 13th Wing? Meritorious service, right now! Qin Yizhi waved his pistol, "Those who advance will be rewarded, and those who retreat will be killed!" If you want to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, follow me! After saying that, he strode forward and led his troops to kill the devil unit.
