Section 11 Counter Attack Lightning II
"I didn't expect that. Qb(5), COM\" Xu Zuyi took the battle report sent by Lan Yundong and said with emotion, in just half a day, he rushed into more than ten miles, conquered the camp, annihilated most of the Japanese army's wing, killed the wing captain Langli Kazuo, and cut off Yucheng Xiayi. In the past, it would have been impossible to achieve such results without a day or two of hard fighting, with two or three thousand casualties.
Zhuang Jihua didn't speak, he was so angry that Qiu Qingquan's face was flushed, the Japanese army was caught off guard, but there were so many tanks in the fast column, Qiu Qingquan attacked the camp, and the tanks lost more than a dozen, which made him very painful, and hurriedly ordered Qiu Qingquan not to use tanks to attack villages and towns, but Qiu Qingquan openly called back, only in this way can he quickly capture the camp and give full play to the rapid advantage of the blitzkrieg, so that the Japanese army can not react.
This is the first time that someone dares to openly disobey his orders on the battlefield, and Zhuang Jihua's teeth are gritted.
"Cultural Revolution, I don't think it's anything, isn't he called Qiu Crazy, just let him go crazy, he can't die." Xu Zuyi said happily.
"I'm not worried about whether he will die or not," Zhuang Jihua said angrily: "What I'm worried about is that the tank has lost too much, how to fight in the next stage?" After the elimination of Toshiyoshi Ando, the tank unit also had to go south to deal with Yamashita Fumi. ”
"Forget it, Commander." Gong Xiuhua interjected at the right time: "Chongqing training workers, don't you also let them produce a lot of waste products, isn't it the same to fight, this kind of tank battle is the first time, no matter how much you say on the map, it is also experience on paper, how to use it, they still don't know very well, let them play in actual combat." ”
So far, Zhuang Jihua has no other way but to let Qiu Qingquan play, but then Lan Yundong is so happy that he almost jumps. Lan Yundong called and said that when he was cleaning up the headquarters of Langli, he found the communication code of the Japanese army. Zhuang Jihua immediately ordered him to send the password to the headquarters in the shortest possible time.
The rapid column assault was successful, and Tang Enbo in Yucheng and Yu Jishi of Limin also immediately launched an attack, entangled the enemy in front of them, and the 46th Army and the 40th Army of Xiayi also launched at the same time, dragging the 39th Division.
After conquering the camp, he drove his steel column to continue to attack the Japanese army in depth, conquering Chezhuang, the concentration of Japanese supplies before sunset, seizing a large number of weapons and ammunition, and cutting off the Longhai Railway.
The 102nd Army on the right flank attacked the 39th Division from the flank with Rao Guohua's division to the right, the main force overtook the fast column under the leadership of Sun Zhen and outflanked Limin overnight, and Lan Yundong commanded the Liang Dai division of the 101st Army to attack the 5th Division from behind.
When night fell, the tanks stopped, but the Japanese did not expect that the infantry of the squadron would still keep attacking, and they had no intention of adjusting their deployment at all.
The breakthrough was so quickly, the entire Japanese position was in chaos, there were gunshots and explosions everywhere, and the squadron was attacking everywhere, and the Japanese commander did not know at all what the strength of the squadron was to attack.
Ando Toshikichi was not under the city of Yucheng, as the commander of the whole army, his command post was located in Caozhuang, Dangshan County, at the junction of Jiangsu and Henan, which was a traffic artery, and the Longhai Line passed outside the village, but no train passed through that night, and the whole village was shocked by the sudden change.
During the day, Ando Toshikichi could barely make a judgment and knew that the squadron had arrived, but by night he was completely unable to grasp the battle situation. The 5th Division reported that he had been besieged from all sides by the ** Army, and the 28th Division reported that the headquarters of the 56th Brigade had been attacked, the brigade commander Mori Shigemi was seriously wounded, the chief of staff Hashimoto was killed, all the divisional heavy artillery was destroyed, and the commander of the artillery wing was killed. The 39th Division reported that he was attacked from behind by the ** army, and all the logistics units such as the baggage troops and hospitals were annihilated.
"Eight squares! Eight squares! Toshikichi Ando scolded frantically in the headquarters: "What did the intelligence department do! How did the general gather so many troops in Shangqiu! How did he do it! If we lose this war, we lose in intelligence! ”
The surrounding officers were silent one by one, and no one dared to say more, because no one knew how to adjust, the entire theater was in a melee, and where did the ** army arrive? How large? No one knows that Ando Toshiyoshi has only one brigade in his hands, and the rest of the troops are on the front line.
In the middle of the night, the 28th Division reported that the ** army rushing out of Limin had broken through the right flank, and the siege of Liji was lost, and their contact with the 5th Division was cut off; The Fifth Division reported that Zhengji's post in the north and south of the railway was lost, and the division headquarters withdrew to the archway.
After receiving these two telegrams, Ando Toshikichi had a bit of a spectrum in his heart, it seemed that the ** army wanted to encircle and annihilate his Fifth Division, and the 28th and 39th Divisions were just taking advantage of the breakthrough to create confusion and interfere with his judgment.
"Order the Fifth Division to stop attacking Yucheng and shrink its troops to hold on to reinforcements; The 28th Division must resolutely counterattack the car shop, and the offensive of the ** Army is only of a harassing nature; The 39th Division stopped attacking Xiayi and counterattacked the camp with the main force. ”
Chief of Staff Sakurada Takeshi felt that he should still be cautious: "Your Excellency, the counterattack of the ** army is different from the past, all the units of our army have been divided, and it may not be easy to recover, so I suggest that I ask my superiors for tactical guidance, and at the same time order the 38th Division stationed in Xuzhou to come immediately." ”
Ando Toshiyoshi shook his head after thinking about it and said: "The ** army is attacking Linyi, and the 38th Division must not be moved lightly, so let's ask Commander Nishio for guidance." ”
Sakurada Takeshi didn't expect Ando Toshikichi to agree to ask for help so easily, and it seems that Ando Toshiyoshi also realized that the situation was not good, and he immediately drew up a telegram to Nishio Shouzo for help.
Ando Toshiyoshi received telegrams from everywhere, and Zhuang Jihua also received their telegrams, and now Zhuang Jihua regrets it very much, he regrets why he didn't bring a few high-power jammers.
"Since you know their location, what else do you say, immediately send a telegram to Lan Yundong and order him to attack the archway shop and completely disrupt the command system of the Fifth Division." Zhuang Jihua looked frustrated, the development of the battle situation was amazingly smooth, Xu Zuyi and they really couldn't figure out why Zhuang Jihua was unhappy.
"Cultural Revolution, what's wrong? Why are you unhappy, if you continue like this, you can't annihilate three divisions in five days, but at least you can leave the fifth division. Xu Zuyi said with a smile.
Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "I'm scolding myself for being stupid, why don't I bring a high-power jammer here, if there is a radio jammer, the Japanese army will become deaf and blind tonight, and we can destroy them individually." After speaking, he turned his head and said to Gong Xiuhua: "Send a telegram to Chongqing immediately, ask if there is a high-power wireless jammer, if there is, immediately send us two and let the Air Force send it." ”
"Yes." Gong Xiuhua turned around and went quickly.
Xu Zuyi and Gong Chu looked at each other, I don't know why Zhuang Jihua thought of this, Gong Chu sighed and shook his head, Xu Zuyi was a little confused, he studied artillery, and he knew very little about radio, so he asked: "Cultural Revolution, what is this jammer for?" ”
"The principle of this problem is very complicated, simply put, it is to interfere with the communication frequency of the other party, so that they cannot communicate normally." Gong Chu explained, Xu Zuyi thought for a while before nodding.
Zhuang Jihuaxin said that this technology will be the key to victory in the war in another 60 years, and why was he stupid back then, and he didn't know how to get this technology out first.
"Tell Qiu Qingquan that the 28th Division will counterattack to the car shop, and telegraph to Situ Fei that the 39th Division will counterattack to the camp and let them strengthen their vigilance. The telegram ordered Yu Jishi to strengthen the offensive and boldly penetrate the depth of the Japanese army; Telegraphed Fan Songfu to make him bolder, holding three divisions in his hands, how can he look like a girl! Zhuang Jihua was a little dissatisfied with the 46th Army in his heart, thinking that they were slow to move and did not dare to fight the Japanese army.
Xu Zuyi shook his head in his heart, knowing that Zhuang Jihua was a little anxious, so he distinguished Fan Songfu and said: "The 46th Army fought well on the north bank of the Hun River, and the Ninth Division crossed the river several times and they fought back. ”
Zhuang Jihua was noncommittal when he heard this, he felt that Fan Songfu was still a little older, he had become more cautious, and his adventurous spirit was insufficient, if it was Xia Yanglin or Zhang Lingfu, it would definitely be a big havoc in the Heavenly Palace tonight.
Zhuang Jihua's order, this night became more lively, the 101st Army stared at the headquarters of the Fifth Division like a fly, the battle around the archway shop was raging, the mortar rocket launcher exploded one after another, the Japanese army desperately moved closer to the division headquarters, and the squadron took the opportunity to break through; Fan Songfu finally let go of his courage and left Xia Yi to Pang Bingxun, and the three divisions attacked the 39th Division in three ways, Rao Guohua also let go of his hands and feet to attack behind the 39th Division, and the 39th Division's attack on the camp was forced to stop before it was launched, and he tried his best to resist the attack from the squadron.
The days of the 28th Division were even more difficult, the troops mobilized for the counterattack were ambushed by the squadron in the middle of the road, and then inserted into the heart by the squadron, guns were fired everywhere, fighting everywhere, and the situation was gradually controlled until the sky was twilight.
But as soon as the sky dawned, Qiu Qingquan's steel column started again, the steel column did not continue to advance eastward, but turned around and went west, directly rushed to Yucheng, the assault formation composed of tanks galloped outside Yucheng, wantonly crushed, the Japanese army's weak anti-tank equipment was simply unable to fight against it, full of formed a standing team with explosives bravely rushed to the galloping tanks, most of them fell in the flames of machine guns on the way, only a few can rush to the tank to complete the heavy task of standing up.
What made the Japanese generals even more distressed was that even though they were in the "rear" and there was still fighting in front, the tanks arrived in the blink of an eye and immediately launched an attack, not giving them time to build fortifications at all, and the simple fortifications were immediately destroyed by artillery fire. The troops in the villages and towns were better, and the troops resting in the fields and small villages were completely unable to resist at all, and were soon crushed to powder by the roaring tank columns.
After discovering this trick, the Japanese army shrank in several large villages and towns, and the squadron that came from all sides took the opportunity to divide and surround them.
In the afternoon, the command system of the Fifth Division was completely disrupted, the division headquarters of the torii shop was conquered by Zhang Xin and Situ Fei, the commander of the 21st Brigade in charge of the command was killed, and the remaining more than 5,000 remnants were surrounded in three villages.
"Tell the brethren not to accept surrender! Don't take prisoners! Zhang Lingfu carried an MP18 in his left hand, facing the surrounded village, and shouted with a murderous face: "The devil on the other side is the executioner of the Xuzhou Massacre!" It's time to avenge the people of Xuzhou! ”
On the other side, Guan Linzheng also gave the same order. Outside the other encirclement, Wang Zhonglian and Zhang Xuezhong also gave the same order.
Surrender is not accepted!
Don't take prisoners!
Blood debt must be paid with blood!
The artillery fire weaved a bloody web, and the machine guns spewed strings of deadly bullets; The battle flag fluttered in the wind, and the shouts resounded in the sky!
The fate of the Fifth Division of the Steel Army was decided in this cold winter, on the Huanghuai Plain that they wanted to conquer, on the land where Chinese civilization originated.
On that day, after two days of artillery fire outside Yucheng, the Chinese soldiers launched wave after wave of offensives against the besieged Japanese army with blood-red eyes, and the wails before the destruction of the Japanese army were transmitted to Caozhuang, Beiping, and Nanjing again and again.
In order to save the 5th Division's critical situation, Ando Toshiyoshi forcibly ordered the 39th Division to transfer the 77th Brigade and the Noto Wing as the core to form a counterattack force, but when they hit outside the camp, the steel column roared and killed, and this force never appeared in the battle sequence of the 39th Division again.
Then Qiu Qingquan did not stay outside Yucheng, but turned around and rushed towards Dangshan, Xia Yanglin led his troops to follow closely by car, and Liang Dai led his troops to follow behind him. The tank column drew a wonderful arc in the territory of Xiayi, crossed the Qiulong River through Liji and Guozhuang, and crossed the Qiulong River at Wangjiqiang, and went straight to Yangji Town, where the 39th Division Qizuo was located in Liu Shuanglou, not far from Guozhuang, and was so frightened that the chickens and dogs jumped.
Without waiting for Murakami to adjust the division headquarters, the 49th Division led by Zhou Shimian tore through the defense line and rushed to Taimiao from the right bank of the Qiulong River, threatening the flank of the 39th Division; Rao Guohua, who was killed from behind, took advantage of the chaos caused by Qiu Qingquan to annihilate the former Wang Lou and Hou Wang Lou's Bai Ben Wing in one fell swoop, and directly attacked Liu Shuanglou Murakami Keisaku's headquarters.
In contrast, after dawn, the situation of the 28th Division became slightly better, although it withstood the largest number of squadrons, the entire army of the 74th Army and the two divisions of the 102nd Army attacked from the north and south, but due to the lack of tank assault, after a night of chaos and losses last night, the 28th Division formed a stable position, and the division commander Ishiguro Sadazo counted his forces only to find that the strength had lost more than one-third, counting the combat losses in the early stage, the entire division only had more than 14,000 people left.
Alas, damn Netcom, it took more than two hours to come up.
