The third part of the Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 8, the Eighth Section of the Trick Road, and the Liberation of Wuhan

The glow of the sun, through the clouds, through the smoke of gunpowder; Warm, blackened branches, criss-crossed trenches, soldiers who fell between the ravines. /.0M\\

The wild flowers of the rest of their lives, swaying in the breeze, exuding a faint fragrance in the smoke of gunpowder, stubbornly resisting the blood of the world.

The military horn, high, majestic through the smoke of gunpowder, through the clouds, urging people to forge ahead.

Military flags, hunting, fluttering across the battlefield, guiding the gray flow of people, forward

The shouts drowned out the gunshots and explosions, and they stubbornly rushed to the top of the mountain. At the top of the mountain, the resistance became weaker and weaker, and clusters of bright lights burst out, and the gray flow of people immediately rushed by.

From the crater, under the rock corner, a lonely yellow figure jumped one after another, accompanied by the cold light of the bayonet, staggering steps, desperate eyes.

In the shelter at the top of the mountain, Uchiyama Eitaro knelt on the ground, the expression on his face twisted in pain, and beads of sweat rolled down his head, mixed with the blood gushing from his abdomen. The knife flashed, and the big head rolled to the ground, and the adjutant immediately pulled out a gun and shot himself in the head.

The officers who were standing around him also drew their guns and committed suicide at this time, and after a burst of random shooting, the corpses were strewn all over the field in the narrow shelter, and the shouts were getting closer and closer, and they were outside the shelter department in an instant.

Several figures rushed into the shelter department, and the leader was actually a major, his sleeves rolled up to his arms, holding a Type 39 semi-automatic rifle, and after seeing the situation in the cover department, his expression was obviously relaxed, carrying a Type 39 semi-automatic rifle in one hand and rummaging on the table with the other.

"Battalion commander, look at this knife, it seems to be a general's knife." A bearded soldier picked up a command knife and flipped it in his hand.

"Battalion commander, generalize the official uniform" Another soldier picked up Uchiyama's military uniform and shouted: "**, this is the command of Uchiyama's old devil." ”

The major turned and stepped over to the uniformed soldier a few steps, grabbed the uniform, and the two glittering stars on the uniform, a smile bloomed on his face, revealing his white teeth.

"It's been sent, it's sent, this must be Uchiyama's headquarters." The major was overjoyed, and immediately began to rummage with the corpse, the bearded soldier turned out the head of the Uchiyama from the corner and threw it to the major, the major caught it, and scolded in his mouth: "**, you kid be careful, this is a trophy, it's going to be flattened, and if you can't recognize it, it's troublesome, Lao Tzu will go up there and find another Uchiyama." Without this head, how can the division commander come back. ”

The official knife, the general's uniform, the head, and the corpse were quickly sent to Lan Yundong, Lan Yundong glanced at the Uchiyama with his eyes wide open, snorted softly, and then ordered to be taken and buried.

"Set up a monument with the words "The 13th Division was destroyed, and Lieutenant General Uchiyama Eitaro was killed by me here." Then he turned his head to Fu Chang and said, "Chief of Staff Fu, immediately telegraph to Commander Zhuang and Commander Sun that they have found Uchiyama and ask for instructions on the next task." The 105th Division was left to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the troops were immediately gathered and reorganized. ”

The news of the annihilation of the 13th Division quickly spread to the Laohekou Theater Headquarters, Zhuang Jihua received the telegram and was silent, and said to He Wei: "Let Lan Yundong lead the 102nd Army and the 36th Division to move towards Xiaogan immediately, and the 101st Army will stay in place as a reserve for the annihilation of Kanda." Telegraphed to Sun Zhen to intensify the attack on Kanda. ”

He Wei quickly drafted the telegram, handed it to Zhuang Jihua for signing, and turned to leave. Eliminating Uchiyama Eitaro suddenly relaxed the tense atmosphere in the war room.

Gong Xiuhua brought a cup of coffee and put it on Zhuang Jihua's table, turned around and was about to leave, after hesitating, she turned around and walked to Zhuang Jihua and whispered: "Cultural Revolution, Li Anding's matter is not something to think again." ”

Chongqing suddenly sent a telegram to transfer Li Anding to Chongqing, but without the slightest hesitation, Zhuang Jihua refused on the grounds that Li Anding was undertaking the task of reorganizing the 33rd Group Army, and Chongqing then sent two more telegrams, urging Li Anding to leave for Chongqing as soon as possible to report, but Zhuang Jihua replied with another telegram and refused again, and simply ignored the third telegram.

"Let's talk about it when this battle is over." Zhuang Jihua said lightly, he felt a little tired, and now Kanda was left.

"Commander," He Wei came over at this time: "I have an idea, can we let Toshima go south, and then let the Seventh Army and the Thirty-first Army follow and pursue and annihilate Toshima near Xiaogan." ”

"Toshima is not important," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "The most important thing now is Kanda." I'd like to know what Anan is thinking right now. ”

He Wei frowned and looked at Zhuang Jihua, thought for a while, and suddenly understood what Zhuang Jihua meant, as long as Kantian was still there, Anan Weiji had to try to rescue him, and he couldn't leave Wuhan, and Wuhan was already a dangerous city.

"He's staring at the entire Eleventh Army." He Wei had a thought, but after thinking about it, he was a little worried, so he reminded euphemistically: "Commander, the troops have been fighting continuously for a month, and it has been a great success to annihilate Toshima and Kanda, the Japanese army is constantly reinforcing Wuhan year after year, and our army has suffered huge casualties, so is the attack on Wuhan delayed." ”

"Annihilate Kanda and Toshima, Anan Weiji still has a few people left," Zhuang Jihua's tone was very contemptuous, he didn't look down on Anan Weiji at all, the battle in northern Hubei should be replaced by a few opponents he had encountered before, I am afraid that the results of the battle will not be so great at all, the Japanese army has frequently succeeded on the southern front, but the troops on the northern front of the fifth theater have never moved, this is not normal, it is a mistake for the Kanda troops to cross the Han River, but it is simply stupid to delay returning to the east bank of the Han River. If it weren't for the fact that the 6th Division and the 13th Division were the absolute elite main forces of the Japanese army, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers far exceeded that of other divisions, the Northern Hubei Campaign would have ended long ago, and his army would have been under Wuhan long ago.

"But you are right, telegraphed Li Pinxian to get out of the way and let Toshima pass, the 31st Army and the 7th Army followed the pursuit and annihilated Toshima in Xiaogan. Ordered the Air Force to intensify the bombing of Toshima. Zhuang Jihua changed his tone, and after he finished speaking, he stood up, this time he got up too violently, his head was dizzy, and he couldn't help but shake it, Gong Xiuhua and He were startled, and hurriedly went over to support him.

"Commander, it's time for you to rest." He Wei persuaded Zhuang Jihua that he hadn't left the war room for several days, and he slept for four hours last night, but Zhuang Jihua still didn't sleep.

"Okay, now that the overall situation is basically decided, annihilate Kanda or Wang Guobin and rush into Hanyang, and wake me up again." Zhuang Jihua twisted his body slightly, Gong Xiuhua and He Wei let go of their hands, He Wei nodded and agreed, and Gong Xiuhua accompanied him out of the war room.

To the north of Wuhan, the motor roared, and a yellow dust five or six kilometers wide rolled up on the ground, and the dust was like a yellow dragon, rolling into the air, and then spreading out in mid-air, turning into even greater yellow smoke. Forty Shermans and seventy T28s rushed along the road to Hankow in a triangular formation.

Cannonballs constantly flew out of the dragon's head, destroying all obstacles that stood in his way. Figures kept rushing out of the rubble, rushing towards them with explosives, but most of them fell halfway through.

Behind the yellow dragon head, more than eighty trucks and armored vehicles followed closely behind the tanks, and behind the trucks and armored vehicles, there were five or six people, panting and spreading their legs, chasing the four wheels and tracks in front.

In the sky, more than a dozen fighters took turns to dive and pounce on the retreating Japanese troops. A huge explosion was heard in the distance, and the Japanese army blew up the bridge over the Fu River, and the iron flow came to an abrupt halt on the north bank of the Fu River.

"**him**" Sheng Gesheng, the commander of the tank regiment, jumped out of the tank angrily and scolded at the bridge that was broken on the river. As long as they crossed the Fu River, it was less than fifty miles away from Hankow, and the tanks could reach it in an hour.

The follow-up tanks stopped, their guns pointed at the south bank, and several Japanese soldiers were hurrying out of the crossing.

"Boom" a shell exploded near them, and after the smoke cleared, the number of Japanese soldiers was reduced by half. The rest fled south.

"Sapper" "Where is his sapper?" Sheng Gesheng grabbed the wireless walkie-talkie and called loudly, a noisy electric current came from the microphone, and then a voice came: "The sappers are still five kilometers away, you evacuate immediately, immediately evacuate and be alert to the shelling of the devils, be vigilant against the shelling."

"Understood" Sheng Gesheng dropped the microphone and ordered a company of tanks to stay where they were, while the rest of the tanks evacuated backwards.

Xiaogan, in one day, became a sea of joy, and then turned into a huge construction site, nearly 100,000 people, before they came out of the joyful atmosphere, they carried all kinds of tools to drive outside the city, and the soldiers to dig fortifications.

In the east city, the church is heavily guarded, several jeeps are neatly parked outside the church door, and in the church, several high-ranking generals under the crucifix are gathering together to discuss, they do not pay any attention to the Jesus hanging on the cross, his eyes are looking at the world with pity.

"After the Seventh Army and the Thirty-first Army open the road to the south, Toshima will soon go south, when will Lan Yundong arrive?" Du Yuming stared at the map and asked Xu Zuyi.

"It will take two days at the earliest." Xu Zuyi said: "Guangting, our first task is to stop Fengdao, not to conquer Wuhan. ”

"There are only 4,000 devils in Wuhan." Du Yuming said lightly, his tone was extremely calm, but in fact, his heart was fluctuating. After the start of the Northern Hubei Campaign, he held his breath, nominally he was responsible for commanding the entire southern front, but in reality he could only command the 60th Army and the 33rd Group Army.

The 60th Army quickly routed the 58th Division at the beginning of the campaign, but then switched to blocking the 104th Division. This task was really easy, the 60th Army, which had 50,000 men, faced the 104th Division, which had only more than 10,000 men, did not let him move a single step to the west.

The number of Japanese troops in Wuhan has long been ascertained by the military commanders, 4,000 Japanese troops, guarding the three towns of Wuhan, Hanyang, Hankou, and Wuchang, each area can only put more than 1,000 people, Du Yuming asked Wang Guobin to lead two divisions and the 33rd Group Army Tank Regiment, with a total strength of nearly 30,000 troops, rushing to Hankou, with an absolute advantage in strength.

Xu Zuyi sighed in his heart, and sure enough, Du Yuming's murderous intent was unstoppable, and he said with a serious expression: "Guangting, Commander Zhuang's order is very clear, the first task of the 50th Group Army and the 33rd Group Army is to block Fengdao, not to conquer Wuhan. ”

"Counselor, I know the commander's order," Du Yuming replied calmly: "But have you ever thought about it, in the south, Xue Yue is storming Hesheng Bridge, and in the west, Wang Jingjiu is leading an army of 100,000 to storm Chenglingji, Anan Weiji's troops have been dragged by us, there are only more than 4,000 people left in Wuhan City, and we will appear in the north again, what will Anan Weiji think?" He could only shrink his forces. ”

"Wuhan can also be abandoned." Feng Zhi'an added: "From the overall point of view, Anan Weiji has lost the ability to fight back, and even has no ability to protect Wuhan, or the Third Division and the 104th Division that are going south, if he still wants to stay in Wuhan, what awaits him can only be a catastrophe." ”

Xu Zuyi looked at the map and condensed, Du Yuming's eyes were eager, but his tone was very calm: "Chief of Staff Xu, the commander has always been like this, he looks bold, but he is actually very cautious. Toshima simply doesn't have much power. We can completely block them, besides, there are Lan Yundong and Li Pinxian, there were originally more than 20,000 people in Toshima, but after a month of fighting, his people were left at most 17,800, and the second mixed brigade added up to only 15,600, and the total strength of the Japanese army in the south was about 30,000. ”

"But the 60th Army and the 77th Army have been fighting for the same time," Xu Zuyi retorted: "There are still two divisions of the 60th Army sent to attack Wuhan, and now, how many troops does Xiaogan still have?" ”

"That's enough." Du Yuming replied without hesitation.

The 77th Army, the 103rd Division, and the 95th Division remained here, and the 77th Army suffered relatively large losses in the Suizao Campaign, and was engaged in the Northern Hubei Campaign before it was fully replenished, and in the early stage of the operation, it undertook the task of attracting Japanese troops on the Eastern Front, and the troops were further weakened. The 95th Division's battle losses in the attack on Jingshan were also very large, so the troops blocking Toshima in Xiaogan now, despite the numbers, were actually only more than 36,000 people, which was almost the same as the strength of the Japanese army.

"You still have too few troops." Xu Zuyi shook his head and said.

"We still have 100,000 Xiaogan people," Du Yuming's attitude was very firm: "You see, 100,000 Xiaogan people are building fortifications outside the city, and if necessary, they can also take up arms and fight the enemy." Chief of Staff Xu, this is fighting on our soil. ”

"So, what are you going to do?" Xu Zuyi is still worried that the war in the past six years has proved that if the squadron wants to block the Japanese army, the strength of the squadron must be at least equal to that of the Japanese army when the terrain is favorable; In areas with poor terrain, the strength of the Japanese army is twice that of the Japanese army, and to attack the Japanese army, the number of troops is at least three times that of the Japanese army.

"Recruit troops at once, and recruit troops from all over the city, at least five thousand." Du Yuming said.

Xu Zuyi thought for a while: "I think so, the 102nd Division should not cross the Fu River for the time being, stay on both sides of the Fu River, and leave the task of attacking Hankou to the tank regiment and the 101st Division." ”

Du Yuming still wanted to fight, but Xu Zuyi waved his hand resolutely: "Guangting, this is my minimum requirement, otherwise, I will order all the troops to withdraw." ”

Report. The tank regiment reported that the bridge over the Fuhe River was bombed and the troops stopped on the north bank of the Fuhe River. ”

Before Du Yuming could open his mouth to fight, a staff officer ran in from outside the door and reported to him. When Du Yuming heard this, he couldn't help but regret a light punch on the map, this result was expected by him, the tank regiment assaulted Hankou, the Fuhe Bridge is the only way, Xiaogan lost, the Japanese army should blow up the Fuhe Bridge, it is not easy to drag it out until now.

Anan Weiji obviously did not expect that the battle had developed to the present, and the Fifth Theater still had the strength to rush to Wuhan, and when the tank appeared in Xiaogan, Anan Wei's face was like ashes, and the idea that Wuhan could not hold it came to mind for the first time.

Isamu Kinoshita led all the staff officers of the combat section to surround Anan in the center in a semicircle, and Anan sat down on the chair several times, and there was a dead silence in the headquarters.
