Chapter 66: The Whampoa Warrior
The Japanese army has never had a history of total annihilation of divisional units on the Chinese battlefield. Therefore, the news that the 106th Division was besieged in Wanjialing and was even likely to be annihilated naturally made many devils unacceptable.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately shocked the Japanese government and the opposition, and even reached the ears of the emperor. The emperor was furious when he heard the news! His Majesty directly gave an order to the supreme commander of the Japanese army who participated in that battle from the palace: At the expense of a single force, the 106th Division must be rescued!
The order was sent to the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters. Who would dare not listen to the emperor's will? The six generals of Shun Hata, who had received the order, did not dare to slack off, and drew the troops he could mobilize overnight. Devils love to use detachments, so there are a large number of devil troops such as the Uga detachment, the Suzuki detachment, the Saeda detachment, and the 27th Division and the 101st Division.
Commander Shunroku Hata crossed the commander of the Eleventh Army, Okamura Ninji, and directly gave an order to the commanders of these waves of reinforcements: The 106th Division must be brought out, and if there is a mistake, you will not come back alive!
Something so big happened, of course the old devil Okamura Ninji knew. But he really didn't dare to oppose it indiscriminately. The 106th Division is not only about the will of the emperor, but also about the face of General Okamura! In case that stupid Komatsuura really dies in Wanjialing, won't Commander Okamura, as his direct superior, also have to bear joint and several responsibility? Since you, Shunroku Hata are willing to go beyond the bounds, then you can come!
In addition to encircling and annihilating the 106th Division, our army in Wanjialing also had to block the devils who came to reinforce one after another. The battle was fought with extreme brutality and fierceness.
General Feng Shengfa, commander of the 58th Division of the 74th Army, led the officers and men of the whole division to fight desperately, blocking one after another devil reinforcements who tried to get close to Wanjialing, and buying time for the 51st Division to encircle and annihilate the enemy in Zhanggushan. At this moment, Kijima robed the male with his elite brigade and killed him head-on!
Did the devil finally break through? After General Feng Shengfa received the report from the front, he did not hesitate to put the only guard company at hand to the forefront, and at the same time, General Feng himself put on a steel helmet and took a medium formal rifle in case of emergency.
The 58th Division was the first main division of the 74th Army. Before the 74th Army was formed, the 58th Division was the 58th Division, and General Yu Jishi was the commander of the 58th Division. It can also be said that the 58th Division is the old base unit of the 74th Army.
General Feng Shengfa, the current commander of the 58th Division, was born in Whampoa, served as a staff officer in the General Headquarters, served in the 1st Brigade, the 11th Division of the core of the Civil Engineering Department, and the 88th Division of the German Armament Division. Now he is the commander of the 58th Division of the 74th Army.
Feng Shengfa is not one of those vain generals of the national army, he is a killing general who can really fight! After blocking the attack of devil reinforcements on one side, General Feng commanded the troops to block the thousands of devils who rushed down from Zhanggu Mountain.
No matter how crazy Kijima Dazuo is, no matter how vicious the devil is, Feng Shengfa's 58th Division is firmly blocking the way of the devil's advance, not giving an inch!
The footsteps of the forward team stopped, and Aoki Seiichi, who followed behind, was in a hurry. Why did you stop bastard? Do you think this is an outdoor trip? You can go when you want, rest when you want, are you quite casual? Don't you know that Wang Yaowu is aiming at me from the back of his ass?
The general sent someone to urge him twice, but to no avail, Chong Chong was furious, and he went to the front to find Kijima Kao with his command knife.
"Eight Tooth Road!" As soon as the two met, the angry Major General Aoki directly greeted Wing Captain Kijima with the greeting commonly used by the Japanese.
Kijima Osa knew that the battle was unfavorable, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, putting on a look of submissive grievances. In fact, he aimed at it from the corner of his eye, as long as Major General Aoki dared to pull out his gun or draw his knife, he would immediately withdraw. It's okay to listen to two swear words, but he will never do anything about being stabbed!
After greeting Kijima Kasuo in a few minutes with the usual Japanese greetings, Aoki Seiichi finally became a little less angry. General Aoki gave Wing Captain Kijima an ultimatum: you must clear the way in fifteen minutes! Otherwise, you don't need me to speak, you can find a place to apologize!
After dropping these words, Aoki Seiichi and his guards waited in place for the good news from Kijima Daisa, and he didn't go back.
Kijima Kao looked at it, okay, it looks like he can't play with his life! As soon as this guy took off his military uniform, he put on a white shirt on his upper body, and with his sword in his hand, he howled like a wounded wild boar, and rushed forward with his ghost soldiers!
Can Feng Shengfa let him go? Of course not! Devils are murderous? We're more murderous than him! General Feng Shengfa ordered the troops, not giving up an inch of land, and must fight with the devil to the end! The devil rushed up, the 58th Division just didn't let him go, and the two armies began to fight gun-to-gun and knife-to-knife!
The news of the casualties of the troops kept coming from the front line, and while Feng Shengfa was in high spirits, his heart kept falling. His 58th Division originally had tens of thousands of horses, but now there is no need to count them, only judging from the figures reported by the front-line generals, there are few people in his 58th Division!
Although there must be moisture in the casualty figures reported by the generals, it is also true that the 58th Division is in a dangerous situation now! Feng Shengfa is not afraid of death, every time he goes to the battlefield, he writes a suicide note in advance, and this time is of course no exception. General Feng was just worried that after the troops were lost, what would happen if the devil ran past him?
Xue Yue's Songpu Division, which had only been surrounded by 100,000 troops, if he ran from the direction of the 58th Division, he Feng Shengfa would be scolded as a rice bucket even if he died on the battlefield! Forced into desperation, Feng Shengfa had no choice but to ask the army commander Yu Jishi for help.
Yu Jishi also scratched his head a little after receiving the telegram from Senior Commander Feng asking for help, and he didn't have many people on hand. The men and horses of the 74th Army were all scattered, and there was only one guard battalion in the armed forces of the entire military headquarters, and this guard battalion was dispatched, and Commander Yu did not have any combat troops at hand!
At that time, the devils always liked to use what to intersperse the troops, that is, to send squadron or brigade-level troops to intersperse and run around the battlefield indiscriminately. This is how the Battle of Lihu and the Battle of Nanjing were fought in this way. If there is no combat unit left here in the military headquarters, if the No. 100 devil comes out of nowhere, how can you let Commander Yu meet the enemy?
However, since the brave and combative Feng Shengfa has asked for reinforcements, it goes without saying that the 58th Division must be at a critical time! Commander Yu gathered the guard battalion and looked at it, and finally gritted his teeth and sent two companies! Commander Yu left a company for his military headquarters to serve as a guard.
