Chapter Eighty-Five: An Unprecedented Victory (I)

"Bang bang bang...... Da ...... "On the forward position of the 6th Division of the Chinese Army east of Sujiatun, tanks and armored vehicles opened fire one after another.

The shouts of more than 1,000 cavalrymen following the armored troops shook the earth, and Zhang Xinghan held a saber in one hand and a submachine gun hanging from his neck in the other.

After a series of aerial strafing bombardments by the garrison brigade, artillery fire.

More than half of the 6th Division had already been killed or wounded, and not only the division headquarters had been hit by the destruction of the surname, but it was also destroyed.

The brigades, regiments, brigades, and even squadrons were hit to varying degrees.

The communication between troops at all levels was chaotic, the instructions could not be conveyed in time, and dozens of BF109 fighters in the air were constantly circling and diving and strafing.

Therefore, the army was unable to organize effective resistance at all, and few devils rose up to resist, but they were quickly swept into a sieve by the vehicle-mounted machine guns of the tank armored units, and then crushed into pieces.

Not surprisingly, the assault troops quickly broke through the forward position of the 6th Division of the Yue Army, and under the low-altitude strafing attack of the aircraft, the Yue Army had to retreat in defeat.

Zhang Xinghan and Sabuli led the cavalry to immediately bypass the trench position of the Yue army and attack the two flanks of the Yue army's position.

Some of the remnants of the devils were also overwhelmed by the crowd of infantry of the garrison brigade that swarmed up like a tidal wave.

Zhang Xinghan led his troops to attack in less than half an hour, and the remnants of the 6th Division were completely defeated.

At the same time, the newly formed 2nd Regiment that confronted the 2nd Division of the Chinese Army across the river also took advantage of the situation to attack.

The 2nd Division was also heavily bombed and strafed by the air force fighters of the garrison brigade, and all machine gun fire points and artillery positions were completely destroyed.

Coupled with the continuous strafing and striking of nearly 30 BF109 fighters over their heads, the 2nd Division was simply unable to concentrate on blocking the new 2nd Regiment from crossing the river.

Therefore, when Zhang Xinghan led the main force to successfully break through the defense line of the 6th Division and took advantage of the situation to launch a pursuit.

The new 2nd Regiment, also under the cover of the Air Force, crossed the South Canal and began to attack the forward positions of the 2nd Division.

Gunfire rained down in an unknown village about five kilometers from Niujiatun.

A large number of heavily armed soldiers have already set up a guard here, and in one of the largest courtyards in the village, several poplar trunks more than ten meters long and as thick as an arm are erected high.

The antenna tied to the top of the trunk is a necessary antenna for the radio station.

In a wing room in the courtyard, from time to time, the army's communications staff officers and officers come and go.

Inside the wing, several high-power radios ticked and ticked.

In the main hall, the current commander of the 2nd Division, Jiro Tamon, stood with one hand on his back in front of the giant combat map hanging on the wall and was silent for a long time.

Behind him, the current chief of staff, Taro Amagishi, was silent and waited.

"General, the 4th Wing has suffered heavy losses under the constant air raids of the Chinese people, and it has been defeated by the Shina Army in person, and the forward positions have been lost." A devil Shao Zuo hurriedly rushed in, suddenly closed his feet and saluted.

Hearing this, Duomen Jiro turned around, looked at the communication Shaozuo with a cold face, and said: "The strength of the people who are fighting against us is only one regiment, one or two thousand people, when did the combat strength of the imperial army become so unbearable?" ”

"General, the air force of the Chinese people has inflicted heavy casualties on the imperial army, and until now they have not stopped carrying out air raid fire strikes on our divisions and regiments, and the 4th Wing lacks air defense, so it has suffered heavy losses, and it is also a helpless fact that it was defeated." Chief of Staff Taro Amagishi hurriedly explained.

"Shut up, at 918 o'clock, our 2nd Division has already suffered a defeat, this time we are here to shame, pass on my order, immediately shoot the commander of the 4th Wing on the spot, in order to set an example." Domen Jiro shouted coldly.

Tiangantaro lowered his head and didn't say anything more, but the devil Shaozo suddenly raised his head and said, "General, the captain of the 4th Wing Masano has been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"He's dead?" Jiro Tamon was slightly surprised.

"Yes, the captain of the Masano Wing personally went to the front line to command the troops to resist, and was dive and strafing by the Shina fighters, and unfortunately was shot and killed." The devil Shaozuo replied.

Hearing this, a trace of sadness inadvertently flashed in Duomen Jiro's eyes, and he slowly closed his eyes and said, "Masano Osa is an excellent emperor [***] person. ”

Suddenly, the footsteps outside the door sounded again, and another communications soldier walked in with a telegram in hand.

"Your Excellency the Commander of the Division, the Chief of Staff of Itagaki is calling." The Messenger snapped his feet and saluted.

"Read!" Jiro Duomen waved his hand without thinking.

"In view of the strong firepower of the Chinese people's aviation unit, in order to avoid greater losses, if the situation is critical, General Duomen can stop the attack and withdraw to Liaoyang and Benxi, so as to preserve his strength and wait for his return."

As soon as the communication soldier finished reading, another communication soldier ran in with a panicked expression, and said before he could stand up and salute: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, I just got the news that the 6th Division has been defeated by the Shenyang Zhina Army, with heavy losses and a rout on all fronts, and the 20th Division is currently fighting fiercely with it. ”

"What? The 6th Division was defeated on all fronts? How is this possible? "Jiro Tamen and Taro Amagishi were both surprised, the 6th Division was an elite division whose combat power was no less than that of the 2nd Division.

If the 2nd Division is supplemented with a large number of left-behind reservists, the combat strength of the 6th Division, which is composed entirely of active officers and soldiers, is even stronger than the current 2nd Division.

How could such an army, even if it was defeated, be defeated on all fronts?

It is important to know that losing a battle is a completely different concept from a rout.

Defeated, as long as the main force still exists and the strength is still there, there will still be a chance to make a comeback and turn defeat into victory.

But a rout, that's a broken muscle.

"How is this possible? How did the commander of the Sakamoto Masaemon Division command the troops? Jiro Duomen questioned loudly.

"General, the news says that the officers and men of the regimental headquarters of the first cadre division, including the commander of the Sakamoto Masaemon Division and the chief of staff of Kotaro Uedanaka, were unfortunately bombed and attacked by the Shina Air Force, and none of them were spared. Due to the destruction of the command hub of the 6th Division, the Chinese used armored troops, cavalry and air force to launch a fierce attack, and the 6th Division could not resist and evolved into a rout on the whole front. The Signal Soldier replied.

Jiro Domen and Taro Amagishi gasped when they heard this.

Jiro Tamon even glared at him in disbelief and said, "You said that General Sakamoto Masaemon was killed?" ”

"Yes." The Signal Man replied with a bowed head.

Duomen Jiro was suddenly shocked in his heart, the air force of the Shenyang China Army was so powerful, thinking of this, Duomen Jiro had the idea of retreating.

Chief of Staff Taro Amagishi spoke up: "General, now that the 6th Division has been defeated, we are alone, and it is recommended that we withdraw to Benxi first and then make plans." ”

"Your Excellency the Chief of Staff of Tian'an is right, General, we are too close to the front line here, and once it is discovered by the China Air Force, the consequences will be unimaginable, so it is better for Your Excellency the Division Commander to leave this place as soon as possible." Communication Shaozo also took the opportunity to persuade.

His words persuaded Tamen Jiro to his heart, and this is what Domen Jiro was worried about at this time.

He is about to reach retirement age, for fear that he will follow in the footsteps of Sakamoto Masaemon and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

As for the supreme honor of being loyal to the emperor? What are you kidding, it was only used by the top echelons of the empire and the emperor to encourage and brainwash the majority of grassroots officers and soldiers of the imperial army.

Born in 1878, he is now fifty-three years old, and he will not be foolish enough to die for their emperor until he has to stay up to his position and age.

He couldn't bear to let go of his family and the prosperous life he had lived over the years.

When dealing with his subordinates, as the commander of the division, he naturally had to show a stern and firm side.

But when his own life could be threatened, that's a different story.
