Chapter 2 Jinpu Road Defensive Battle Section 10 Tiger Roar (II

After a night of artillery fire, the old Teng County ushered in a sunny day, but it was a bitter summer day for the hills in Teng County. Full // this // small // say // net

Last night, there were bursts of artillery around Teng County, and Gu Teng took a lot of effort to draw out a squadron, but then lost Ji Shan and two important places of grain, Gu Teng was forced to retreat to Dongshahe Town, and Situ Fei followed and continued to attack Dongshahe Town.

The troops who went out of the city to counterattack were resolutely blocked by the squadron, and the two sides fought across the city river, and the troops, mainly composed of baggage soldiers, were obviously inferior in combat effectiveness to the field infantry, and they fought hard until dawn and failed to break through the squadron's defensive line. Yuyougi Yong, who was caught in the front and back, collapsed before dawn.

The flank attack brigade broke through the defense of the Jing Brigade and divided and surrounded the Jing Brigade in and around Houzhuang, and Sun Jingzhong and a regiment of the brigade that killed from the rear also rushed into Nanqin, dividing the Shuikou Brigade and the Komatsu Brigade of the 69th Wing into two pieces, and Youyou Muyong led the wing headquarters and the remnants of the Komatsu Brigade with more than 500 people to trap the east of Nanqinzhuang.

However, the front is not the most worrying thing for Yamaoka, and it is Joxi that worries him the most. Although Youyou Muyong has been divided and surrounded, Yamaoka thinks that he can hold out for a while, but most of the Kinoshita brigade in the west of the city has been annihilated, the captain Kinoshita Jingxiong was killed, and the remnants of more than 200 people fled into Xiguan, and Zhang Lihui commanded the troops to knock directly on Xiguan.

Du Yuming was very satisfied with the development of the battle situation, this army that had been carefully trained by him did not disgrace him, and overnight they destroyed the main force of the mountain hill and did not let them escape into the city, laying a good foundation for the next step of attacking Teng County.

"Guangting, I didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of your 60th Army is not weaker than that of the 101st Army." After seeing the report, the stone in Xu Zuyi's heart fell to the ground, and it was not difficult for other troops to deal with a brigade of more than 10,000 Japanese troops with one army, which was calculated according to defense, and if it was an attack, it would be another matter.

"The 60th Army and the 11th Army are both escort units derived from the Southwest Development Team, and the training method is the same." Du Yuming was slightly modest, the outstanding achievements of the 101st Army, especially the Lan Yundong led a 1/2 division to eliminate Guoqideng in Guangde in three days, and then blocked the 6th Division to the death, all this made the 101st Army win the title of the strongest combat force in China, and the Japanese also openly admitted in the newspaper that it was "the most elite unit in China, claiming that a 101st Army was equivalent to a Japanese division." ”

In his opinion, the combat effectiveness of the 60th Army is more than that of the 101st Army, and the escort team after the baptism of the Battle of Yunnan is basically incorporated into the 60th Army, and the commander is also in the 60th Army, and he spends more time than Zhuang Jihua on training troops, and he thinks that his command ability is stronger than that of Lan Yundong, and the 60th Army should win more honors. Today, under his command, the 60th Army fought a majestic battle and made him feel very satisfied

"Strive to take Teng County today and realize the first step of Chief Li's plan," Xu Zuyi stood up, he didn't expect that this time he went to Lincheng to supervise the battle so smoothly, but the first step in one day was realized, which made him worry about the situation on the northern front: "I don't know how the 49th Group Army fought?" ”

"Haha." Du Yumingshuang: Smile. Also stood up and walked to him. Looking north: "Don't worry." General Baili is not going to make the Japanese feel better. ”

Du Yuming did not misjudge that at this moment, Jiang Baili painted a magnificent picture on the east bank of the canal. The army of the Five Routes is like five steel knives that have crossed the canal. Plough out five rolling torrents with steel and will. Inserted into the vital point of the Japanese army on the east bank.

The northernmost land, Lan Yundong, was the first to cross the river, and the Japanese army was insufficient. It was not possible to form a tight front, and only some sections were selected for key defense. The closer you get to Jining. The stronger the defense, the tighter it is. Therefore, Lan Yundong crossed the canal without a fight. Soon after, the Japanese army of the Korean squad was annihilated. Quickly conquer Hukou and Zhuzhuang. The vanguard reached Yangji at noon. It is only three miles away from Liu Lou.

The resistance of the beam crossing the river is not great. He also succeeded in crossing the river only after skirmishes. Subsequent developments have not been different. The progress of Liangdi is similar to that of Lanyundong. It went very well. There are only small groups of Japanese troops in Shili Gate. Liang successfully captured Shili Gate and Wuli Fort. Establish a landing field on the opposite bank with a depth of ten miles. Then he waved his troops south and approached Nanwang.

Ann crossed the canal after a stubborn battle. Wangzhuang was originally the target of the Yamamoto Brigade. End of July. Yamamoto used to cross the river here. was beaten back by Ahn. At that time, in order not to alarm the Japanese army. Jiang Baili just beat them back and forget it. But Yamamoto still invested a whole brigade here. Not far away, there is another brigade in Changgou Town. After a fierce battle, Ahn defeated the Japanese army in front of him. After crossing the river, he immediately launched an attack on the town of Changgou. By noon, they attacked the town of Changgou.

Guo Xunqi and Wang Mingzhang faced the Japanese army, and it was not the Yamamoto brigade. Rather, the twenty-fifth brigade. Naozo Nakano, commander of the 25th Brigade, had a lot of brains about river defense.

His troops were insufficient, so he did not focus on river defense, and on the support point, he only put one brigade in Nanzhang, the other brigade in Fenghuangtai, and the rest of the troops were concentrated closer to the Zhangmiao Yang Zhen area in Jining.

But neither Shimoto Kumaya nor Nakano Naozo expected that the squadron's attack would come so violently. The Japanese army on the northern front seemed to be two brigades, but in fact there was only one and a half brigades, and the two brigades of the Yamamoto brigade were left in Yanzhou to maintain the communication line from Yanzhou to Tai'an, and the Yamamoto brigade actually had only four brigades, plus the losses in the early stage of crossing the river and probing operations, the actual strength was only three brigades.

The smooth crossing of the river made both Guo Xunqi and Wang Mingzhang despise the Japanese army, but then they found out that they were wrong, and the Japanese resistance in Nanzhang and Fenghuangtai was extremely stubborn. Guo Xunqi rushed into Nanzhang twice, but was counterattacked by the Japanese army, which made Guo Xunqi very angry.

After daybreak, Guo Xunqi intensified his attack, and he surrounded Nanzhang with two brigades, while the other brigade inserted southeast of Nanzhang to block the Japanese reinforcements coming from Zhangmiao. Wang Mingzhang completely adopted the tactics of winning by force, and attacked Fenghuangtai with three brigades, and wanted to take Fenghuangtai as quickly as possible.

After Naozo Nakano determined the attack line of the squadron, he divided the troops into two divisions, reinforced Nanzhang with one brigade, and he personally led the three brigades to launch a counterattack at Fenghuangtai, and at the same time suggested that Shimoto Kumami stop attacking Jining and first solve the counterattack of the squadron.

As soon as the squadron crossed the river, Shimoto Kumanya received a report, but it was only at this time that he fully understood the scale and approximate strength of the squadron's counterattack, and he didn't understand why the squadron invested so many troops on the northern front, especially in Hangai, judging from the telegram sent by Yamamoto, this force had a strong attack power, and the troops along the way almost did not pose any threat to them, they were all swept away, and their attack direction was a little strange, it was to the east, avoiding the main force of Yamamoto's brigade. On the contrary, the squadron that appeared at Shili Gate went straight to the main force of the Yamamoto Brigade after occupying the Shili Gate, and it seemed that the other party wanted to break through the Yamamoto Brigade first, come down from the north, and flank the division of the Chinese Army in Jining City.

Shimoto Kuami knew that the team on the other side of the river was part or all of the famous 49th Division, and this unit could not be underestimated, so he thought about it and said to Chief of Staff Suzuki Toshiyuki: "Suzuki-kun, what do you think of the actions of the Shina?" ”

"Your Excellency, I think that the purpose of that army is to encircle Wei and save Zhao, attract our army from Jining City to the northern front, and save the Jining Zhina army." Suzuki Toshiyuki had already thought about it, but Xia Yuan was obviously thinking about it just now, and he couldn't interrupt the division commander's train of thought.

"No, I can't be so sure yet," he shook his head and said: "I'm more inclined to them want to attack inside and outside You see, the three branches of the Chinese army that appeared in Han Gao, Shili Gate, and Changgou, except for Han Yuan's Chinese army, the other two are all divisional scale, and the direction of their attack is also the Yamamoto brigade, in addition, the two Chinese army reported by Nakano are also at the division level, so it seems that the Chinese army on the west bank of the canal is not a division, but the forty-ninth group army, and they have at least two divisions that have not been put into battle, So what about these two divisions that were put there by General China? ”

The troops on the northern front were too weak to even be able to stop Lan Yundong's forwards, let alone find out the strength of Lan Yundong, so Xia Yuan didn't know that Han appeared in the 104th Division, and this situation had a huge impact on the future development of the battle situation.

"Your Excellency means that the general will throw these two divisions into Jining City?" Suzuki asked a little confused.

"This is very likely," Xia Yuan paced inside the command with his hands behind his back, his expression was very solemn: "If our army moves north, and these two divisions are killed from the city, our army will immediately fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the belly." Therefore, the main force of the division did not move for the time being, and ordered Yamamoto to shrink his troops and retreat south to the line of Liying, Donghuang, and Zhuang to establish a defensive line; After ordering Nakano to meet the Nanzhang and Fenghuangtai troops to break through, they moved south to establish a defensive line on the front line of Yang Zhen and Balitun, and temporarily stopped the attack on the main force of the division, making the illusion of moving north, and luring the Chinese army out of the city. ”

"The division commander is smart!" The officers in the headquarters looked at their division commander with great admiration, as if they had seen the elite troops of the China Army struggling and wailing under the fire of the imperial army when they came out of the city.

Yamamoto's troops were already retreating step by step, and as soon as the order arrived, he immediately led his troops to disengage from the 101st Army, quickly moved south, and established positions in the area around Li Ying. But it was not easy in Nakano, whether it was Fenghuangtai or Nanzhang, the defenders were surrounded by the squadron, and if they wanted to come out, they had to ask, Guo Xunqi and Wang Mingzhang did not agree.
