Chapter 185: Yang Sen's bloody battle against Su Song
9.185 Janssen's bloody battle against Susong
Because Huang Haoran and Fan Jie were talking in a loud voice just now, and the two of them were in a very bad mood, this made the "eyes and ears" lurking in the Wuhan Garrison Command become excited. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It has not been a day or two since Huang Haoran stayed in the Tianjiazhen Fortress, so these people in the headquarters still probably know Huang Haoran's temper. Even when he fought the decisive battle with the 6th Division, Huang Haoran never lost his temper. Suddenly abnormal today, the "eyes and ears" thought they should look up to see what was going on
But as the saying goes: the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows. You must know that Huang Haoran also has someone around him who is responsible for the work of agents, so when the "eyes and ears" on the first floor moved, all of them fell into Xu Xinghua's eyes.
Although these "eyes and ears" are very smart, not only do they know how to use objects or personnel around them as cover, but also the gaze cast into the corridor on the second floor is only a quick glance, but they still have not been able to deceive Xu Xinghua, who has been engaged in intelligence work under Huang Haoran for many years.
During this period, Xu Xinghua's gaze collided with the gaze of several "caring people" in the hall. The reactions of these officers who were identified by Xu Xinghua were basically the same, all of them turned pale, and then lowered their heads and began to pretend to be busy.
The most ridiculous thing is a lieutenant colonel staff officer surnamed Sun who has just been transferred to Tianjia Town from Nanchang, this kid was actually a little frightened by Xu Xinghua, and in his hecticism, he hit the tea table placed on the side of the sand table, and the teapot and bowl were shattered on the spot.
The staff officers who did not know the inside story were all startled by the sudden noise, but they were not easy to attack when they saw that the person who had made such a low-level mistake was their colleague, so they could only let the guards on the side go to fetch brooms and dustpans to clean up the mess on the ground.
A few staff officers who usually have a good personal relationship with Staff Officer Sun also came to Lieutenant Colonel Sun's side and whispered to remind him that he must not be so frivolous in the future, Huang Haoran Huang Zongzuo's temper has not been very good these days.
That Lieutenant Colonel Sun knew that Xu Xinghua must still be watching him from the second floor at this time, so he didn't dare to make any moves at all, so he could only let his body sweat like pulp, standing in place and not daring to move, and only supported him in his mouth.
"Sending such a fool to Tianjiazhen as an eyeliner, it seems that the master behind this is not very clever, it is definitely not sent by the Japanese, nor is it a person from the military commander......"
Xu Xinghua scored the clumsy Lieutenant Colonel Sun in his heart and then turned around and left from the corridor, and as he left, several other "ears and eyes" in the crowd on the first floor suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
But these people were really happy too early, because they didn't hear the conversation between Xu Xinghua and several officers of his secret service after he turned around:
"You guys just looked up and peeked at the main seat, have you all written them down? Seven in total! Two of them were just transferred to Tianjia Town last week! I don't care who their backstage is, I'd rather kill them than let them go! Find some reason to get them all out! The farther away the better! ”
"Yes! Take a seat! We'll do it right away, and make sure they're far away from the main seat! If any of them dares to disobey, we will let him meet with surprises......"
However, in just two sentences, the few "eyes and ears" below who exposed their identities all got their "retribution".
"The main seat, the staff seat, there are many people outside, is it better to go back to the office to talk?"
Although the eyes and ears below will soon be solved by the people of the secret service, Xu Xinghua still walked quickly behind Huang Haoran and Fan Jie and reminded in a low voice, Tianjiazhen Fortress is not the headquarters of the 25th Group Army after all, this kind of place where people talk a lot, some things cannot be said casually.
Fan Jie immediately understood the reason why Xu Xinghua said this, he nodded at Xu Xinghua first, and then said to Huang Haoran:
"Boss, Director Xu is right, this is not the place to speak......"
Huang Haoran also understood Xu Xinghua's intentions at this time, but because he was angry in his heart, Huang Haoran still said a few words in a loud voice: "It's just two victories, and you're all forgetful?" Xuzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai, Beiping and the three eastern provinces! These lands are still in the hands of the Japanese! Do you have the ability to go to the little devil? Knife your own people in the back, fucking this is also worthy of being called Chinese!?"
Huang Haoran's words were a pun, that is, he scolded those old fools in Wuhan and the "ears and eyes" downstairs. While fighting a national war with the Japanese, you have to prevent your own people from stumbling on yourself, this feeling is really terrible! No one will have a good mood if they change!
What the ancients said is really not bad at all, being a thief is weak!
As soon as Huang Haoran's words fell, Lieutenant Colonel Sun, who was already a little distracted, fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
Officers who can serve as staff officers in the headquarters will naturally have no problems with their IQ. With Huang Haoran's words in front, and then looking at Lieutenant Colonel Sun who fell to the ground, thinking of Lieutenant Colonel Sun's abnormal performance just now, the staff officers' hearts suddenly understood. As a result, everyone's eyes when they looked at Lieutenant Colonel Sun became strange!
A few staff officers who didn't see why they wanted to come forward to save Lieutenant Colonel Sun, but they were grabbed by someone, and then dragged to the side to explain in a whisper, and then there was no follow-up.
Poor Lieutenant Colonel Sun was lying on the ground like this, being looked at like this by a room of people, he would definitely not be mixed up in the military world in the future......
After walking into the office and closing the door, Huang Haoran and Fan Jie laughed at the same time, they didn't expect that their words could still receive such an effect, and they could be regarded as killing chickens and showing monkeys.
"Director Xu, did you say that the head seat was a little like Zhang Yide who broke the Dangyang Bridge in "Three Kingdoms" just now?"
"No, no, no... I think the general seat is more like Zhuge Liang who scolded Wang Lang to death..... Seeing the fate of Staff Officer Sun, the other guys who collected money to report to people didn't know what they would be afraid of at this moment! ”
"I remember that Shen Lao Er said that you can't believe what the intelligence people say, because these people tell lies all day long! Director Xu, are you also using lies to perfunctory me? ”
Xu Xinghua naturally shouted grievances, and Huang Haoran and Fan Jie laughed even more. Among the officers under Huang Haoran, if you want to rank the seats according to the kung fu of patting horses, I am afraid that the first place is none other than Xu Xinghua, and the second place is Fan Jie. However, being praised by his subordinates occasionally, Huang Haoran feels pretty good.
People, more or less, have some vanity. But you can't just indulge your vanity, that's going to be bad.
After a short change, Huang Haoran turned the topic back to the current battle to encircle and annihilate the 27th Division.
"Is Li Pinxian's 4th Corps still blocked by Masaharu Honma north of the Suhuang Highway at the moment? He's too slow! Nearly 100,000 people in 14 divisions of 6 armies! It was impossible to attack more than 10,000 people of the 27th Division! I see, what the old men in Wuhan said is not completely unreasonable, after the annihilation of the Inaba Division, Li Pinxian is indeed a little complacent......"
Fan Jie nodded, indicating that he basically agreed with Huang Haoran's opinion, after the two major victories on the Nanxun Line and the Yangtze River Valley, many generals in the Jiang Defense Army and the 9th Theater appeared proud and complacent, thinking that the strength of the Japanese army was not as strong as Erer, and some people even shouted the slogan of counterattacking Xuzhou and counterattacking Nanjing and Shanghai.
Generally speaking, the Jiang Defense Army's attack on the 27th Division was not smooth from the beginning, except for a few basic units of the 25th Group Army, only Yang Sen's 27th Group Army was very involved in the combat among the troops that cooperated with the operation.
The Inaba Division was destroyed, Huangmei returned to the hands of the 5th War Zone, and the defense areas that Li Pinxian had lost before are now back, and now he is inevitably a little reluctant to attack the 27th Division.
In Li Pinxian's eyes, it is really better to be enterprising than to keep it, and his responsibility is to keep Huangmei and not give the Japanese a chance to take Wuhan. The annihilation of the 27th Division will require a large number of troops, and the main force is far away from the garrison area, what if the devils take advantage of the loopholes? To put it simply, even if the 27th Division can be annihilated in the end, the first credit is Huang Haoran, but if Huang Mei is lost, "Xiao Zhuge " and the highest authorities will settle accounts with him Li Pinxian!
To describe it in one sentence, the relationship between Li Pinxian and Huang Haoran is "can share hardships but not prosperity"!
And the Yang Sen Division, which was very brave in Susong, actually did not have the determination to fight the 27th Division, and what Yan Seng did was actually another thing.
The generals who participated in the war, everyone has their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, if such a battle is easy to fight, then it is strange!
"General, the 27th Army has indeed fought very well in this battle... However, I think that the reason why Yang Sen behaved so hard in Su Song is probably because of the marriage between Soza and his daughter, isn't this motive a little too ......?"
Compared with Fan Jie, Huang Haoran considered these things much more simply, he didn't care what Yang Sen was for, the 27th Army of the Sichuan Army spilled blood on Susong after all! If it weren't for the sacrifice of thousands of Sichuan soldiers, I'm afraid that the 27th Division would have run away long ago!
"Don't worry about the others, as long as you are willing to fight devils, I prefer Japanese soldiers at this point, simple-minded, don't think much! Always act as ordered! Our Chinese army can't reach this point, there are too many smart people, and before they can do it, they have to think about one, two, three, and four first, and when they are done thinking about it, this fighter will lose ......."
Huang Haoran's words seemed to be refuting Fan Jie, but Fan Jie and Xu Xinghua both knew that their commander's words were right and not personal, and they were all for the sake of better fighting devils.
"Or, let's find Xiao Zhuge and ask him to put some pressure on Li Pinxian?"
Fan Jie thought about it and put forward a proposal that seemed to be a good one, but it was always opposed by Huang Haoran and Xu Xinghua.
"I'm afraid it won't work! Li Pinxian is not the kind of general with courage. Now that the 4th Corps is so perfunctory in Susong, I am afraid that it is under the secret order of Xiao Zhuge ! You are looking for Xiao Zhuge to suppress Li Pinxian, how can it be effective? ”
It is rare for Xu Xinghua to speak under such long words, and he is not good at marching and fighting. But figuring out other people's minds, Xu Xinghua is a good hand.
Therefore, when Fan Jie saw that Xu Xinghua was so resolute, he immediately believed six or seven points in his heart, coupled with Xu Xinghua's special position, it was very likely that his agents had obtained relevant information from Li Pinxian, so Fan Jie completely dispelled the idea of using Xiao Zhuge to put pressure on Li Pinxian.
************************************************************************
On the Susong front, the 27th Division saw that it could not take the Buddha Ridge, so it changed its offensive direction and decided to flank the Chinese army's defense line from the southwest.
Coincidentally, Xie Wendong in Susong City was worried that Yang Sen's troops would lose too much and could not hold on, so he made a temporary decision to transfer the defense area of the 27th Army and Yang Sen's 27th Group Army, and the 27th Army held the line from Fozuoling to Susong County, and placed Yang Sen's Sichuan Army in the southwest where the Japanese army had not launched a fierce attack in the past few days.
As a result, a tragic battle that made Yang Sen's heart worrisome befell Yang Sen's troops again.
Compared with the mountainous terrain held by Yang Sen's troops before, the defense line southwest of Susong was flat and open, and it was biased towards the chariot troops and cavalry of the 27th Division. This time the battle progressed almost completely differently from the battle at Mt. Bunza, and it took Honma Masaharu's vanguard less than thirty minutes to break through the first line of defense of Janssen's forces under the cover of chariots, establishing a forward position about a kilometer wide, forming a bridgehead fortress that tore through the Chinese army's Sumatsu defensive network to the west.
In an emergency, Yang Sen could only order the 402nd Regiment led by Lin Xianghou of the 134th Division to block the front of the 27th Division to prevent the Japanese army from continuing to break through.
In this way, Janssen's troops and the Japanese army were crushed together.
When the news reached the military headquarters of the 27th Army, Xie Wendong was very anxious! This Susong resistance battle is really evil, and the number numbers of the three Chinese and Japanese troops that met together are actually 27! Moreover, the 27th Army, which was bent on facing the devils, always failed to do so, and the 27th Army, which was weak in strength, always crashed into the muzzles of the devils.
Is this a spell?
In the early morning of October 13, Masaharu Honma's 27th Division once again attacked Janssen's 27th Army, and the position of the 402nd Regiment at the forefront was under the focus of Masaharu Honma, and the severe test was placed in front of Marquis Wang.
Wang Xianghou was strict in governing the army, and had a very good relationship with the soldiers, sharing weal and woe with the soldiers in peacetime, and taking the lead in wartime. In addition, he did not deduct the salaries of officers and soldiers like many Sichuan officers, so he won the support of soldiers and the love of Yang Sen, and was a capable general under Yang Sen. The reason why Yang Sen decided to put Wang Xianghou at the forefront this time was because he believed in Wang Xianghou's ability.
The Japanese offensive began again with heavy bombardment by aircraft and artillery. Honma Masaharu did this firstly to bully the Sichuan army for not having artillery, and secondly, in order to avenge the revenge of the Buddha Ridge, he actually let the artillery wing shell continuously for half an hour!
In the sky, the planes of the Japanese Army Aviation frantically dropped bombs and strafed them, and the position occupied by Wang Xianghou's troops was originally an open crop field, and there was no danger at all, and there was no time to dig deep fortifications, so the officers and men could only bury their heads to avoid the shrapnel flying in all directions.
When the shelling of the 27th Division stopped, the Sichuan officers and men of the Yang Sen Division waited until the Japanese rushed to the last 50 meters before they opened fire on the panting, sweaty Japanese soldiers, followed by a grenade.
After the grenade exploded, Yang Sen's troops immediately launched a white-knuckle battle, and the officers and soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese sides rushed up and stirred up each other, fighting each other.
In the case that the artillery fire is ineffective, the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, and the soldiers on both sides finally stand on the same starting line at this moment! Although the Japanese soldiers were good at using bayonets, they were also supported by the spirit of bushido. But the soldiers of the Yang Sen Department had already been burned to the point of madness by the anger of hatred, and they believed that after getting close, the big blade would never lose to the bayonet of the Type 38 rifle!
Yang Sen's department used this method of warfare to persist for a whole day, repelling more than ten frantic attacks of the 27th Division, and the corpses on both sides were strewn all over the field, and the position was full of broken arms and limbs, and there was a sea of corpses and blood.
The next day, the Japanese launched a new attack under the cover of artillery fire, and the commander of the 402nd Regiment, Lin Xianghou, decided to command the battalions to counterattack, and he ordered the whole regiment to launch a countercharge against the Japanese. After that, he was the first to jump out of the trench and command the soldiers to rush forward regardless of everything. As a result, he was unfortunately hit by the Japanese on the way to the charge and fell.
After Lin Xianghou was martyred, his superior, the brigade commander Luo Run, immediately rushed up with a pistol. The grief-stricken Sichuan soldiers saw their brigade commander personally rushing to the front line, and their morale was immediately boosted. Brigade Commander Luo ordered the second battalion commander Chen Jiehua to command the whole regiment to launch a counter-charge against the Japanese army instead of the commander, and he simply suppressed the devil.
After Yang Sen learned that Lin Xianghou was killed, his heart was like a knife. However, the urgency of the war did not allow him to have time to be sad, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Yang Sen decided to send Yang Hanzhong, commander of the 134th Division, to the line of fire to command. Yang Hanzhong said to Yang Sen on the phone: "Commander, I still have an old mother at home, if she dies, please take care of her." ”
Yang Sen replied to Yang Hanzhong with a smile: "My son-in-law is known for his generosity in treating wounded soldiers, if you are martyred, it must not be too bad, you should treat this battle as for me, you must do your best!" ”
Yang Hanzhong hung up the phone and immediately went to the line of fire, but was shelled by the Japanese army on the position, injured his thigh, and was carried off the line of fire by the guards.
The battle situation has finally fallen into a full anxiety, and now the officers and soldiers of the Yang Sen Department are left with only the word desperate!
The position of the 401st Regiment fell in one day with four or five senior officers of the Yang Sen Division, first Guo Dashu, chief of staff of the 133rd Division, and then Wang Jiehua, the commander of the second battalion.
The troops of a regiment were finally commanded by a platoon commander, and the fierceness of the battle was evident from this!
After fighting more than a dozen back and forth, platoon commander Zhao Daodao's left leg was also pierced by a bullet, and the 401st regiment completely lost its backbone! Fortunately, at this time, the Sichuan soldiers on the position had already killed the red eyes, and they repelled the Japanese army without the command of the officer, and consolidated the position.
At this time, the 401st Regiment had been sharply reduced from more than 1,000 to 200 people, and Yang Sen could only organize the remaining soldiers into a battalion and merge them into other units.
On October 15, the third day of the battle between Yang Sen's division and the 27th Division in the southwest of Susong, Xie Wendong made the right decision in the afternoon of the same day, he transferred the 24th Division from the east to the southwest of Susong and strengthened it to Yang Sen.
Although Yang Sen's troops are known as group armies, there is actually only one 20th Army, under the jurisdiction of two divisions, and one of them has been broken and incomplete in the battle of Fozuoling, so the timely arrival of the 24th Division can be regarded as saving Yang Sen's life.
