Section 2 Counterattack of Counterattack I
At the head of Langfang City, the riverside was looking blankly at the purpose of Gu'an Biao, the sky over there was red, and it was so striking in the black night sky: the gunfire over there was so intense, and the telegram in the hand of .qВ5, C0m/ slid silently to the ground, taking away Chiluli's deathbed wail.
From the beginning of the war to the present, Shozo Kawabe has borne the main impact of the squadron, and all of General Shina's articles are written around the central line. Kawabe Shozo hated his weakness incomparably, and before the war, the Dispatch Army Headquarters wanted to transfer the 121st Division from Gu'an, and although he vetoed it, his attitude was not resolute, and he succumbed to Okamura Ninji's will, and now it seems that this mistake is the most Chinese New Year's Eve cause of today's Gu'an crisis.
went to the 121st Division, Gu'an became weak, there was no strong reserves, there was no strategic depth" and Gu Shoufu, who was able to reinforce Gu'an, this bastard kept his strength, but he did not fully assist Gu'an.
The gunfire was still fierce, "The army is still struggling to attack, but Kawabe Shozo knows that the army has done its best" The army used by the Shina Army to block the attack had a whole army, and the attacking Imperial Army was only 14,000 men of the 32nd Division. And the Chinese army still had firepower and air superiority, and the offensive of the imperial army could be carried out almost only at night.
"Commander, the commander of the Ishii Division recounted that the sixth offensive had failed, and he, asked for tactical guidance." The advisor said with a gloomy expression.
Riverside was silent, hesitating whether to send the last reserve reinforcements. Ban originally sighed in a good conscience, before the war, he suggested that the third division be transferred to Gu'an, but this suggestion was vetoed by Kawabe Shozo, and Kawabe Shozo's most Chinese New Year's Eve reason was that Gu Shoufu would go all out to reinforce Gu'an when Gu'an was attacked, but now it .......
I knew why I had to be in the first place; Itamoto has some opinions on the arrangement of the riverside Zhengsan, Langfang has six divisions of the army and a self-reliant mixed brigade" Hebe Zhengzo planted the 6-4 division on the left flank to connect with Wuqing, but Wuqing has more than 100 miles to Langfang, even if the 6-4 division is only responsible for half of it, it has more than 50 li" The army is weak, and the Zhina Army cut off the connection with Wuqing soon after the offensive began, and the riverside Zhengzo did not refrain from sending the 123rd Division to fight back; The same was true of the 41st Division on the right flank, the 41st Division and the 4th Mixed Brigade could not stop the offensive of the Chinese Army, and it only took two days to break through, causing Gu'an to be surrounded; Kawabe Shozo planted the 119th Division and the 3rd Self-Reinforced Mixed Brigade in front, and the most elite 3rd Division and 123rd Division remained in the city.
The Zhina Army seized the weakness of the two wings of the imperial army, invested five armies and a self-supporting tank division to attack the two wings, and successfully cut off the two wings of Gu'an, and in order to make a more complete breakthrough and eliminate the defenders of Gu'an, the Fifth Army attacked the northern line of Gu'an in a roundabout way on Chinese New Year's Eve to conquer Yufa and Pangge, and raided Gu'an in four ways.
Gu'an has become a lonely city" Hua Mu Zhong called the general, he did not refrain from abandoning all the positions outside the city, and shrunk the 212th Division back to the city, the 212th Division lost about Chinese New Year's Eve of the strength of a wing in the frontal resistance battle, the 3rd Mixed Brigade lost more than half of the military strength, and now there are more than 13,000 defenders in Gu'an.
Once the Chinese army conquered Gu'an, the entire front was opened a huge Chinese New Year's Eve. Through this gap, the Chinese army could arbitrarily choose Zhuozhou and Langfang as the target of attack, and Itamoto believed that Langfang would become the next target of the Chinese army, "If this gap is not plugged in time, the entire North China dispatch army will be eaten by the Chinese army."
"Your Excellency, are you transferring the 3rd Division?" Kawabe Shozo kept his back to Itamoto, and Itamoto couldn't see his expression clearly, so he asked tentatively.
"Has there been a change in the Left Wing Army?" Kawabe Shozo turned around slowly and looked at Itamotomachi.
"No change has been found for the time being", with his head bowed by the river, Okamura Ninji telegraphed to him that he had sent the 132nd Division and the 1st Division and the 3rd Tank Brigade to join the 27th Division of the Wuqing Defenders and advance westward to buy the connection with Langfang, and at the same time ordered him to hold Langfang and attract the Chinese army.
However, Okamura also gave an order to try his best to buy Gu'an and contact "the support points for the entire counterattack are in Gu'an and Langfang", and if Gu'an and Langfang are lost, the counterattack will not be established. But if the 3rd Division is to be transferred to attack, what should Langfang do?
The 123rd Division has joined the left flank to defend it, and only the 3rd Division is left in the city, and then this division will be transferred up "Langfang will become an empty city, and the Zhina Army still has the reserves of Pang Chinese New Year's Eve, once the front or left flank presents a problem, what to fill it?" Itamoto's suggestion was to establish that the Wuqing army could quickly buy contacts, "so that at least two divisions could be reinforced; But what if you can't buy through the contact in time?
"Order the 119th Division to shrink the defensive ground, and the 3rd Mixed Brigade will be transferred to the command of the Ishii Division." Riverside Shozo didn't dare to take risks, so he could only make adjustments to the furnishings.
As soon as the decoration was issued, Lieutenant General Huamu of Gu'an sent another telegram: "Another bad news has arrived, Huamu reported that the offensive of the Zhina army that had returned to the north of the city was fierce, and the positions in the north of the city were all lost, and the Zhina army had reached the city.
Itamoto was silent, the situation in Gu'an was becoming more and more dangerous, the 122nd Division had been completely wiped out, and the 4th Mixed Brigade and the 212th Division had been seriously injured and had lost the ability to fight back. And the outflanking army of China gathered four armies, close to 200,000.
The huge Chinese New Year's Eve of military firepower is huge, and the 122nd Division was destroyed in three days, how long can Huamu hold Gu'an?
Kawabe Shozo was worried, Okamura Ningji in Beiping was shocked, the destruction of the 122nd Division made Okamura Ningji unable to refrain from reconsidering the combat effectiveness shown by the squadron, in the Battle of Northern Hubei, the 39th Division was destroyed in three days, but it was a surprise attack, and it was completely inconsistent with the 122nd Division, the 122nd Division was on the existing position, and there were carefully constructed fortifications, but in three days, the squadron forcibly tore through the defensive ground, outflanked and lost.
Gu'an was besieged, "There are only more than 10,000 people left in the hands of Hua Mu, how long can he hold on?" Once Gu'an is lost, the "China Army" can free up at least 200,000 troops to meet the last Jingsan, and with their tanks and air superiority, the counterattack will not be effective.
The key now is that Tongan can not resist holding it, Okamura does not control it, Chinese New Year's Eve Castle and Tatsutakanosuke do not control it, the war room is silent, no one has spoken, and it is not good to speak, and only Lieutenant General Hanaki of Gu'an can make this judgment.
Okamura sent three telegrams in a row to inquire about Hanaki, but Hanaki's telegram never replied, Okamura knew that Hanaki was nervously adjusting the army and checking the surrounding Shina army. By dawn, Hanaki's telegram finally arrived, and Hanaki's judgment disappointed Okamura a little, and Hanagi thought he could hold out for three days at most.
"Your Excellency, there is a statement that the army has moved in place, is it possible to attack immediately?"
The sky showed a trace of fish belly white, the sun silently shone on the ancient palace, the sun dispelled the cold of the night, bringing a trace of warmth, but this warmth could not dispel the coldness in Okamura's heart at all, on the contrary, he hated this ray of sunshine a little.
The sun hinted at today's mild weather, that the imperial samurai had to attack under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Chinese air force, and that the imperial army would suffer heavy casualties.
Okamura couldn't make up his mind, so Tachitakanosuke sighed softly and stepped forward: "Commander, once the wheel of war moves, you can't stop it. ”
This is a wise saying believed by the Germans, and the Army Chinese New Year's Eve School posted it in the library, and every Army Chinese New Year's Eve student can memorize it.
War, regardless of whether it is a Chinese New Year's Eve battle or a "campaign," as long as the army is mobilized, it cannot be stopped, even if it is wrong, it must also go on the wrong track, and if it is not too late to stop immediately.
After a long time, Okamura finally nodded: "Okay, let the three hearts of the Sue Sei San, and in addition, put the Matsuyama army under the command of General Yusue Seisan." ”
"Narrate, Pang Gezhuang is lost."
Chinese New Year's Eve Castle and Litakanosuke did not move" This situation was already expected by them, and Chilu Li did not hold it" Pang Gezhuang will definitely not be able to hold it, and the Fifth Army is worthy of being the elite of the Zhina Army" This arc detoured and beautifully completed the task of cutting the battle line of the imperial army.
"Let's do it." Okamura was unaffected, "still very flat Chinese New Year's Eve Castle and Tachitakanosuke turned around to leave" When he reached the door, Okamura stopped Takanosuke, and Takanosuke looked at Okamura with some puzzlement, and Okamura's fingers tapped lightly on the palm of his hand, like playing a piano.
"Ligaojun, immediately set off to Tangshan, meet with the Kwantung Army Advance Headquarters, and if necessary, you can go to Xinjing, urge the Kwantung Army to enter the customs as soon as possible, and tell Umezu-kun that we may not have thirty days" Within twenty days, the main force of the Kwantung Army needs to complete the assembly in Tangshan. ”
Litakanosuke was shocked in his heart for Chinese New Year's Eve, the Battle of Pingjin, he is Mr.'s informant, he is leaving, Mr. will lose the informant, but how to refuse? Countless thoughts quickly turned through Tachitakanosuke's mind, but they were immediately denied.
"Ligaojun, this task is very important, more important than going to the front line, from the current point of view, the empire can not resist the victory, all in the Kwantung Army can not resist and rush to the battlefield in time."
Okamura obviously misunderstood Tachitakanosuke's hesitation, not to mention that there was also a meaning to protect Tachitakanosuke.
"Commander, Commander Umezu should understand that I will not go to the effect of Chinese New Year's Eve." , Tatetakanosuke still wants to hold on.
Okamura shook his head: "Umezu-kun has not fought with the Shina army, his judgment of the Shina army is not necessarily correct, and he has been in North China for six years" has rich experience and a clear mind, and he will definitely be able to give Umezu-kun a strong help. ”
Tatsunosuke reluctantly promised, but there was a problem in front of him, he couldn't pass on the news that he was leaving, and after leaving Okamura, he went home to tidy up a little, and set off for Tangshan with two advisers and a team of soldiers.
Following Okamura's order, Seizo Arisue launched an attack on the 10th Division and the 19th Division in front of Pangezhuang, and the 49th Division, which had just conquered Pangezhuang, was immediately put into the attack. After fighting until noon, the 56th Division and the 8th Division assembled in the Chinese New Year's Eve area attacked Yufa in a roundabout way along the north bank of the Wuding River, temporarily forming the 55th Division in Gaogezhuang and the 93rd Division staying in Minzhuang, forming the first line of resistance.
