Chapter 44 Division and Regiment Headquarters
Due to the stubborn fighting of the Chinese defenders at Xinkou, the Japanese Fifth Division, no matter how sharp the artillery fire and strong air support were, finally felt the consequences of the lack of troops. It's like a person, even if he was once strong, after losing a lot of blood, he will eventually be dizzy and lose his strength. The Fifth Division is now like a hemorrhagic patient, and if he doesn't get a blood transfusion quickly, he will definitely die!
Itagaki Seishiro, who was unwilling to die in Shanxi, urgently asked the front army for help, and asked the front army to immediately send a large number of new troops into the battlefield to strengthen the strength of the Japanese army in the main battlefield of Xinkou. Otherwise, if the Fifth Division suffers a crushing defeat, even if he is killed in battle, he will have to accuse the front army to the base camp before he dies!
General Terauchi Toshiichi, commander of the Japanese Army's Northern Branch, naturally would not watch the Fifth Division sink into the sand in Shanxi, not to mention that the current commander of the Fifth Division was Lieutenant General Itagaki who had served as chief of staff of the Kwantung Army. If the Fifth Division is really finished, the general of the temple will definitely not be able to get rid of it!
The command of the Northern Front Army issued military transfer orders one after another, and the Japanese troops in North China were continuously sent to the main battlefield of Xinkou. At the same time, Terauchi Shouichi also ordered the 20th Division to storm Niangzi Pass in order to respond to the Xinkou battlefield.
On October 22, the Japanese Xuandao detachment arrived at the Xinkou battlefield to reinforce the Fifth Division.
On 27 October, a brigade of the 136th Wing of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army arrived at Xinkou and immediately joined the battlefield.
On 29 October, the mechanized infantry wing of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army and another brigade of the 136th Wing of the 109th Division arrived at the Xinkou battlefield.
The main battlefield of Xinkou was full of war, and the devil's reinforcements entered the main battlefield one after another. Hundreds of thousands of officers and men of our army fought bloody battles and refused to give up an inch of land. Although there was no air superiority, and although our artillery fire was not as fierce as that of the Japanese army, the vast number of our officers and men held the spirit of swearing to fight the enemy to the end, and held their positions with countless flesh and blood and never gave up!
Hu Fei and his cavalry brigade quickly moved after annihilating the devil's artillery brigade, and finally left the scene of the crime before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements.
Hu Fei blew up all the artillery that could still be used on the position before leaving, this move naturally made the devil reinforcements who arrived later angry, but it also made General Fu Zuoyi, who got the news later, grit his teeth in distress!
Hu Fei, this loser! Fu Zuoyi was furious at the chief of staff at his command headquarters! If he had these twelve field guns, he would have been able to form another artillery battalion! Now, it's all ruined in the hands of Hu Fei!
The chief of staff next to him persuaded him: "Commander, don't be angry. Hu Fei's troops were cavalry, and they were known for their speed. If they had brought a dozen or so guns, they would not have been able to win the battle. ”
"Hmph, I know that! But I just feel sorry! This bandit leader, he can't leave two doors to make me happy! ”
In this regard, the chief of staff could only smile bitterly.
Hu Fei, who was insulted by Fu Zuoyi's back, had just walked to the edge of the mountain with his troops at this time, and the herald reported: There is a village in front, there are about hundreds of families, and the forward company asked, can the troops enter the village?
Hu Fei told the heralds: In order to avoid disturbing the people, the troops will not enter the village this time. Order all troops to go around the village, and no one is allowed to enter the village without an order, not to trample on the farmland, not to harass the people!
The herald had not been gone for even five minutes before he returned, and the news came from the forward company: there was an enemy situation ahead, and the troops were asked to suspend the march!
Hostile? Didn't you just report that it was a village? Why is there an enemy again? Where is the enemy? Is it in the village? Hu Fei's head was full of question marks. Just in case, first order the troops to hide on the spot, and then take Yuan Fang forward. He was going to ask the forward company, Gou Tianxiao was not there, how did they open the way for the large army?
When I asked at the place, the deputy company commander told Hu Fei that Company Commander Gou had just sent back a signal that there was an enemy in the village! He just sent a dozen veterans to touch in and answer it!
When attacking the devil artillery brigade, Hu Fei deliberately let Yamashita Yong go. In order to find more Japanese targets, Hu Fei once again sent Gou Tianxiao to the battlefield to rescue Yamashita Yong, and the two of them took advantage of the chaos to run out of the Japanese artillery position. Since the information about the hostile situation in the village was transmitted back by Gou Tianxiao, there must be no mistake!
Hu Fei pondered for a moment, and took Yuan Fang to the village. Before he could reach the edge of the village, gunshots suddenly rang out in the village in front of him! "Smack! Bang Bang Bang! There was a flash of light, and there were two more "booms", and the sound sounded like the sound of a grenade explosion. It looks like our men have been discovered by the enemy!
Gou Tianxiao didn't bring a few people into the village, Hu Fei ordered the forward company to enter the village immediately, respond to Gou Tianxiao, and at the same time order the whole army to prepare for battle!
There was not much time, and Gou Tianxiao came back covered in blood. He came back alone, without even a retinue by his side.
"Phineas!" As soon as he saw Hu Fei, Gou Tianxiao hurriedly came over to salute. Hu Fei grabbed one of Gou Tianxiao's arms, looked up and down twice, and saw that there seemed to be nothing missing, so he put a little snack.
"Tianxiao, where are you injured? Why is there so much blood on the body? "This is the art of Hu Fei's questioning, not asking about the enemy, first asking about Gou Tianxiao's injury. Although the two have known each other for many years, this sentence still makes Gou Tianxiao's heart feel warm when it falls on his ears.
"I'm fine! Hehe, Fei Ge is worried about my blood, right? This is the blood of the devils that I stabbed over two little devils! However, the twelve brothers who took me did not come back, and they were all thrown into the village! When he said the last sentence, Gou Tianxiao's eyes faintly flashed with tears, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.
"How many devils are there in the village?" This is what Hu Fei wants to ask the most. can let Gou Tianxiao leave all the brothers who answered him and run out alone, and the devils in the village will definitely be indispensable!
"At least a thousand! There's cars, there's horses, there's tanks! Damn, that little devil led us into the devil's army! ”
Hu Fei gasped! What level does a devil with a car and a tank have to be? Don't let him just get rid of the pursuit of the devils, and crash into the arms of a bigger group of devils here, right?
Hu Fei really guessed correctly. There are really a lot of devils hidden in the village in front of him, and the village is the division headquarters of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army! Japanese Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki set up his division headquarters in this little-known village.
The sudden sound of gunfire frightened the old devil of Itagaki a lot! The old guy was already sleeping under the covers, when gunshots and explosions suddenly rang out. Seishiro Itagaki woke up from his sleep coldly, and this guy got up as soon as he got dressed!
