Section VIII Southern Route VIII
Dude, what do you want? Lu Han asked strangely: "Is there anything that Commander Li can't get?" ”
"There are some things that Degong can't get, Lao Jiang's control is too strict," Liao Lei sighed: "Bazooka, can you lend me a few bazookas." //。 There is no such thing in the war zone, except for the Central Army, only you have it. ”
Lu Han smiled and said generously: "No problem, I'll give you ten bazookas, including the shooter, but you don't want Liu Bei to borrow Jingzhou, you haven't paid it back." ”
Liao Lei Yile: "Don't worry, I am a dignified general, how can I have a loan that I can't repay?" Don't worry, after the war, even people and equipment will be returned together. ”
Since the bazooka appeared on the battlefield, it has been valued by the Chinese generals who lack anti-tank weapons, especially it can not only hit tanks but also fight pillboxes and bunkers and other firepower points, so all the generals hope to equip their troops with this kind of weapon, but the output can not meet the equipment of all troops, Chiang Kai-shek has to give priority to equipping the Central Army, so the local troops are only equipped with the Sichuan Army and their Yunnan troops, which has caused the eyes of many generals, including the generals of the Central Army who are not equipped.
After the combat method was suppressed by Li Zongren and Zhuang Jihua, Liao Lei and Lu Han continued to counterattack the Japanese army according to the original battle plan, Lu Han threatened Chihe with Lu Junquan's division without fighting, but he led Lu Diping's division to continue to counterattack to the east. Liao Lei led his troops to rush to Mingguang, but he made a turn halfway, but he conquered the pipe point, the Three Realms, and cut off the Jinpu Railway.
The Black Rock detachment, which was transferred back from the front, attacked Liao Lei from Mingguang, and the two sides fought fiercely in Hengshan, and after two days of hard fighting, Black Rock was unable to defeat Liao Lei and was forced to ask Haneda for help.
Haneda felt that it was very tricky, the squadron's operation was a little strange, and he only cared about cutting the Jinpu line, and the places where he attacked were all areas where the troops below the brigade were stationed, and Matsuura was guarding the pond, with only more than 5,000 troops. According to the information obtained, the squadron put in a counterattack with nearly 100,000 troops, but such a powerful force did not encircle and annihilate the lonely 5,000 men.
If they encircle and annihilate these 5,000 people, then Haneda is still easier to deal with, and they can immediately adjust the combat objectives, transfer back troops from the front line, destroy this force first, and then go north, but according to the current situation...
Haneda hesitated, Huaiyuan's counteroffensive 11th Army had conquered Hengshanzui after conquering Xuanying, and approached Huaiyuan City, Matsuura did not wait for the squadron's attack in Chishui, so he sent a brigade to launch a tentative attack on Lu Junquan.
Lu Junquan was bored here. I saw that Matsuura actually sent someone out. This happy two brigades were outflanked from both flanks, and it was a hard beating. The Japanese army left more than 200 corpses and returned to the pond. Matsuura refused to get out of the pond again.
Liao Lei and Lu Han crisscross Huainan. Everywhere you go. The railways were all destroyed. The bridges were all blown up. The road was completely destroyed. The Japanese army retreated at several major support points in Mingguang, Chihe Prefecture. The rest of the place was completely occupied by the squadron. At this point, the logistics of the Japanese army were completely cut off. Haneda could no longer sit idly by.
July 23rd. Haneda ordered to stop the attack on the Kakukawachi. Order the 3rd Division to return to rescue Huaiyuan. The 6th Division called back Mingguang. Together with the Black Rock Army, the Jinpu Line will be opened. The 9th Division abandoned the south bank of the Xie River. Withdraw to the south bank of the river.
It didn't take long for Li Pinxian to move the Japanese army. He informed Liao Lei and Lu Han of the situation. They were ordered to immediately stop fighting on the Jinpu line and retreat to Dingyuan. Subsequently, he commanded the 23rd Group Army, the 46th Army and the 51st Army to cross the Xie River to the south. Arrive at the north bank of the river.
Now it was the turn of the squadron to force the crossing of the river. The 9th Division was deployed along the river. Li Pinxian launched four armies in Liutaizi, Songgang, Miaoxi, and Huangmiao. Forced crossing of the river on a 60-mile-long front.
The squadron's actions annoyed Ryosuke Yoshizumi, the commander of the Ninth Division. A division and regiment in other areas lost as much as a quarter of their fighting personnel in more than a month. The replenishment of troops is still in Shanghai. It is unimaginable that less than 20,000 troops should hold a 60-mile-long defensive line. Yoshizumi can only focus on prevention.
The Japanese Air Force played an important role at this moment, and planes from Nanjing, Yangzhou, Shanghai, and other places frequently attacked and indiscriminately bombed the squadron positions on the north bank of the river, and more than 50 boats of the 45 th Army hidden in the reeds by the river were all blown up.
"Chen Dingxun, what are you doing on a dog day, if you don't have a boat, you will swim over to Lao Tzu!" Deng Xihou rushed to Chen Dingxun's headquarters and pointed at his nose and cursed, from the beginning of collecting ferries, Deng Xihou ordered to strengthen air defense, which was emphasized and emphasized, but this situation still appeared.
"Commander, we still have more than thirty ships ,..."
"Thirty boats are enough! How many people can pass at one time, two hundred or three hundred? The first attack wave will pass a regiment, are you enough for thirty boats? Before Chen Dingxun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Deng Xihou.
Chen Dingxun was speechless, Deng Xihou was angry, and finally said: "The specific responsible person will be shot on the spot, you, the army commander, will hang up first, if you can't fight this battle, I will withdraw you first!" ”
"Yes!" Chen Dingxun replied with a chest straight.
"Damn, didn't you see that last time in Xuzhou, Yang Zihui hung a bullshit sign on a dog day, and he looked so proud, his chin was going to rise to the sky!; Lao Tzu wanted to unscrew it for him, "The reason why Deng Xihou is really angry is here, the same is the first batch of troops to go out of Sichuan, Yang Sen, Li Jiayu, Sun Zhen, Guo Xunqi are famous all over the country, and they were driven out of the World War Zone by the Second War Zone, and they didn't want to be chased around like a mourning dog, Yang Sen They attended the banquet in Xuzhou with medals, and obviously demonstrated to them, which made him even angry and didn't come out, which was what people deserved.
"Remember, this battle will not be fought again
What face do you have to go back to Sichuan. ”
Of course, Chen Dingxun understood Deng Xihou's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Commander, don't worry, I will immediately send someone to Caojiaji to collect ships to ensure that we will fight the prestige of our 23rd Group Army." ”
"Cao Jiaji," Deng Xihou snorted coldly: "Cao Jiaji is still a fart boat, hurry up and go to Yuanji, Xinmaqiao to find it, it's too late." ”
Chen Dingxun agreed repeatedly, and Deng Xihou left across the horse. In this area, after the Chinese and Japanese armies have looted, there are very few ferries in this area, and suitable boats can only be found in the distance.
Due to the mistakes of the 45th Army, Li Pinxian had to temporarily abandon this offensive, and the 41st Army was in front of Liutaizi, the 51st Army was in Huangmiao, and the 46th Army was in Songgang and began to force the crossing at the same time.
In the dark night, hundreds of boats were speeding towards the opposite bank with their sails, the sound of cannons shook both sides of the river, the firelight reflected the night sky red, the Goguang bullets dragged a long trail to the opposite bank, the cannonballs set off huge columns of water, and from time to time the ferries were shot and broke apart, or the soldiers fell into the water with a wail.
The fierce battle lasted until dawn, the 51st Army first successfully crossed the Huangmiao, but when it was extended to the depth, it was blocked by the Kuteng Brigade of the 19th Wing of the Japanese Army, and the 51st Army that crossed the river had only one reinforced regiment, and the two sides fought fiercely on the beachhead, after the sky was completely bright, the Japanese air force flew to the battlefield, the 41st Army and the 46th Army stopped crossing the river, and the 51st Army held the beachhead, and suffered heavy casualties under the Japanese ground air attack.
Li Pinxian adjusted his tactics and decided to use the 51st Army as a bait to turn the direction of the main attack to the small post in the west and east of the 45th Army's crossing of the river.
That night, the 41st Army left a regiment to continue to cross the river at Liutaizi, and the main force secretly marched westward, and the 45th Army collected 30 boats, plus the original 30, a total of 60 boats, and smuggled them at Xiaogang, and after an hour of fierce fighting, the vanguard of the 45th Army wiped out the Japanese squad and set foot on the land on the south bank.
Subsequently, the 45th and 41st Armies quickly crossed the river, and at dawn they established a beachhead on the south bank with a width of 5 li and a depth of 10 li, and two brigades of the 45th Army crossed the river.
"It seems that the southern front has stabilized, and the strategy we set out at the beginning has worked." Li Zongren was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief for the exhibition of the southern route, which was completely in accordance with the original plan, which made him particularly satisfied.
"The danger still exists," Zhuang Jihua said, "Junliu, this old boy should probably be in a hurry, with the lesson of Nanjing, he should send reinforcements soon." ”
"It doesn't matter, as long as Liao Lei and they don't love war and retreat westward, they should at least send one and a half divisions to the Dingyuan line, and the Huaiyuan front line will say less about one division, plus the county Mingguang Fengyang, this will be divided into half a division, leaving two divisions, at most three divisions, and there will not be much to do."
Solving the southern front only solved a small part of the problem, and the key problem was the northern front, Li Zongren turned his attention to Yanzhou and Lin, and the battle in Yanzhou became more and more intense, Han Fu was shot in Wuhan in mid-July, and the Third Army no longer dared to preserve its strength.
To say that the battle of the Third Army was really not bad, this one let go of the fighting, the Japanese army immediately felt the pressure, and Ryosuke Alum Valley commanded three divisions to storm Yanzhou; Sun Tongxuan did not show weakness and refused to give up an inch of land, and the Japanese army was bloody.
"How's Yanzhou? How long can Sun Tongxuan fight? "Li Zongren asked Xu Zuyi this time, Yanzhou is not a scheduled battlefield, and he only hopes to consume the Japanese army in Yanzhou.
"Yang Hanyu of the 133rd Division of the 24th Group Army and Liang of the 101st Army of the 49th Group Army harassed the Japanese army on the periphery of the north and south flanks respectively, and Sun Tongxuan could still support them." Xu Zuyi said with a worried face: "The biggest danger now is the Linxiang, it is very difficult for Pang Bingxun and Zhang Zizhong to block the two divisions of Bandi, they have already retreated to Linxian County, if Banyuan breaks through Linlin and echoes with Alum Valley Liansuke, it will be difficult for our army to stop them, let alone eliminate them." ”
"The Townenburg Legion hasn't arrived yet?" Li Zongren was a little surprised, in June he and Zhuang Jihua realized that the direction was thin, but there were not enough troops at that time, and later Chiang Kai-shek transferred Tang Enbo's corps, Li Zongren kept this corps as a reserve, five days ago, after the Japanese army conquered the water, plus the vanguard of the 60th Army Du Yuming's department had arrived in Xuzhou, so Tang Enbo reinforced Lin, but I didn't expect that five days had passed, Tang Enbo had not yet arrived.
"No, yes, he has already arrived at Wanggang Village in the northwest, but he thinks that there are Japanese cavalry units on his flank, and it is easy for the Japanese army to detour from the flank at this moment, so that the corps will be in danger of being attacked by the enemy on the belly." Xu Zuyi handed the telegram that Tang Enbo had just arrived to Li Zongren.
Li Zongren hurriedly glanced at it and handed it to Zhuang Jihua, and waited for Zhuang Jihua to look at it before asking: "Cultural Revolution, what do you think?" ”
Zhuang Jihua understood what Li Zongren meant, this is the descendant of the Central Army, and he should solve this trouble, this is the tacit understanding between the two of them, Li Zongren will deal with the problems of the local troops, and Zhuang Jihua will handle the problems of the Central Army.
"I'll go for a trip, Tang Enbo is different from Fan Fu." Zhuang Jihua stood up and said: "However, I want to take Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang with me, the other 60th Army should not stay in Xuzhou, it is better to be assigned to the 49th Group Army as a sharp knife for the counterattack." ”
