Section 9 Phantom IV
The third part of the Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 9, Rushing and Ninth Chapter, Phantom
In Dexian County, the dim oil lamps shone on the filthy faces, the last personnel of the base were concentrated here, Kataoka could no longer blame them, all the troops, including those soldiers in the township who were temporarily conscripted into the army, they held out for three days under the artillery fire of the Chinese army, the ground buildings have been completely destroyed, the tunnels have been blown up, and the personnel have been rapidly reduced from nearly 2,000 to about 200 at present, and they have done their best. \\。
The flag of the wing has been burned, and today's squadron's offensive is more ferocious than the previous three days, Kataoka knows that it will be difficult for him to survive the next attack, and the wound on his head is faintly painful, this wound was cut by a piece of shrapnel when he led his troops to counterattack yesterday.
"Send a telegram to Beiping, the ammunition is exhausted, the city is about to be destroyed, and the remaining soldiers of the post rate stick to the northeast corner, make the last effort, and wish the great Japanese Empire long live the long life of His Majesty the Emperor" Kataoka's voice was low, and he gave a deep salute to all the soldiers in the tunnel: "Thank you, you are worthy of being the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, and you are worthy of being the loyal warriors of His Majesty the Emperor......"
Speaking of which, Kataoka couldn't go on, he regretted it very much, why didn't he learn more from Nakajima Kangjian, pause: "Smash the radio gentlemen, **** see you"
As soon as his words fell, the cannon sounded again, the squadron no longer uses large-caliber artillery, and now uses 60 and 82 mortars, and the squadron is now smart, their artillery fire is cleared point by point, and there are suspicious places, no matter whether they find anyone or not, they will use the flame ** weapon first, and then the infantry will attack.
Okamura Ninji received a telegram from Kataoka, and sighed heavily in his heart, once Dexian fell, it would be even more difficult for Matsui Ishine on the bank of the Yellow River to escape. There was silence in the war room of the dispatch army headquarters, and everyone knew the result, but no one could help it. Okamura Ninji remembered his reflection on the Rehe operation after the Remice Agreement, and now it seems that the idea of the year was not wrong, and Japan's fundamental weakness was the lack of troops.
In the face of such a crisis, there are no troops available in North China, and in the past, the general of China gave everyone the impression that he was very cunning, but in this operation he showed extraordinary stability, he knew that Gu Shoufu's strength was partially transferred to the Shandong front, but Tang Enbo still did not attack, although he had more than 800 tanks and more than 300,000 troops, he still only maintained pressure on Gu Shoufu, and this silent pressure was even more terrifying.
"Is there a report from the end of the year?" This is Okamura Ningji's last hope, there is a sue Seizan counterattack in Liaocheng, tearing open the encirclement of the squadron, the purpose is to mobilize and attract the squadron ** team to Liaocheng, so that Matsui Shigen can take the opportunity to break through.
"There have been no reports from the last general, and there is no sign of an increase in the strength of the Chinese army, not even air support." The chief of staff of Ayutthaya reported.
Okamura Ninji's thin face couldn't help but twitch, and General Shina now showed his cruelty, he calmly tightened the noose around his opponent's neck step by step, and watched them struggle in the trap, trying to find a way out.
The map on the wall marked the latest situation in North China, Shanxi had all been abandoned, and the Eighth Route Army in northern Jin did not stop Yoshigi Sadachi's retreat, but only sent a small force to pursue after Yoshiki Sadaichi withdrew from Datong, and the main force turned to all parts of northern Jin. Although Taiyuan was not handed over to the Eighth Route Army, Okamura's deployment still worked, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party fought for territory in Shanxi, and the two sides continued to skirmish, which affected Suiyuan and Chahar.
After Fu Zuoyi of Suixi regained Baotou, the main force entered the Daqingshan area and was preparing to attack Guisui, the capital of Suiyuan Province, when the Eighth Route Army began to move north, He L led the main force of the Eighth Route Army to appear at the southern foot of Daqingshan, which aroused Fu Zuoyi's vigilance, Fu Zuoyi sent troops to prevent the Eighth Route Army from continuing to go north, and the two sides formed a confrontation in the Daqingshan area.
The contradiction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party relieved Yoshiki Sadachi, who was retreating, and he led his troops to withdraw to Guisui, joined the 122nd Division transferred back from Mongolia, and withdrew into Zhangjiakou. After Yoshiki Sadachi retreated to Zhangjiakou, Okamura Ninji was a little relieved about the safety of Beiping.
After Gu Shoufu retreated to Shijiazhuang, all the south of the Cangshi Highway was abandoned, and to the west of the Pinghan Road, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were also vying for territory, and Tang Enbo even sent two divisions from the 31st Group Army to both sides of the Pinghan Road to grab territory, and formed a confrontation with the Eighth Route Army led by Liu Bcheng in the Wu'an area.
Tatsutakanosuke slowly walked behind Okamura Ninji, lowered his voice and said, "Commander, lowly duty, low position...... It is suggested that General Youmo should immediately break through to the north, go to Jizhou through Linqing, and cover Wang Tong's flank. ”
Although Tatetakanosuke's voice was not loud, the staff officers in the war room could hear it clearly, and Oshiro's heart trembled, if he acted according to this plan, the fate of Matsui Ishine and his nearly 60,000 troops would be decided. However, if you let Yusue Seizan continue to stay in Liaocheng, will it help Matsui Shigen break through? Ayutthaya didn't know the bottom of his heart.
The staff officers stared at Okamura Ningji's back, but Okamura Ningji never answered, to be honest, before Tachitakanosuke proposed, this strategy had flashed in his mind, but he vetoed it, the reason was not tactical, but emotional, just give up the imperial army general, the remaining nearly 50,000 soldiers, he can hardly make this decision no matter what.
Dacheng took two steps forward and was about to speak, when the communications staff officer stumbled in, and even his voice changed: "Report... Qi County was lost, and the 59th Division was attacked by the 20th Army. ”
"What?" Ayutthaya was taken aback, turned around and quickly snatched the telegram from the staff officer, the telegram was sent by Matsui Ishone, Matsui Ishone reported, early this morning, the 24th Group Army of the China Army suddenly killed from the east side of the Jinpu line, divided into two routes, the 73rd Army assaulted Qi County, the 20th Army attacked Yucheng, the commander of the Hosokawa Tadayasu Division commanded the 54th Brigade to meet the 20th Army, the 53rd Brigade held on to Qi County, and when the two sides were fighting fiercely, the 78th Army of the China Army suddenly killed from behind, the 53rd Brigade was attacked by the China tank, and the brigade commander Tadao Kojima was killed, The 53rd Brigade collapsed, and Qi County was lost; Subsequently, the Chinese Army marched north along the Jinpu Road with the 78th Army, and the 73rd Army went south along the Jinpu Road, capturing the Yellow River crossing in one fell swoop.
After reading it, Dacheng's eyes were full of gold, as if someone had punched him hard in the temple, and his brain was buzzing. The Japanese army has always thought that the squadron is still struggling to pursue on the south bank of the Yellow River, but they did not expect that they would cross the river upstream and downstream of the Japanese army, secretly sneak into the east and west sides of the Jinpu line, and launch a surprise attack when the imperial army was at its weakest, cutting the Second Army of the North China Dispatch Army into two sections in one fell swoop.
Ligao nosuke's heart is completely calm, during this time he rarely has the opportunity to leave the headquarters, it is difficult to send information, he has been worried that Zhuang Jihua will be in Nakajima Kangjian, and send troops to reinforce Liaocheng, now it seems that Zhuang Jihua has long seen through the intentions of the Japanese army, seized the gap of the Japanese army's eagerness to retreat, seized Qi County in one fell swoop, successfully cut off Matsui Shigen's troops, and laid the foundation for the total annihilation of Matsui Shigen in one fell swoop.
"Commander, now it's time to decide." Tatsunosuke sighed deliberately, his tone extremely heavy. The loss of Dexian is imminent, the loss of Qi County, the rest of the 59th Division is besieged by the two Zhina Army, it is good to be able to survive three days, and the Zhong** pair is now occupying a vast area from Dexian County to the north bank of the Yellow River, and it is more difficult for Matsui Shigen to rush out than to ascend to the sky.
"Commander" communications director Sakurai personally came, Takanosuke looked at his face and knew that it was bad news, sure enough, Sakurai reported, Matsui Shigen called, the Chinese army broke into Jinan, the 62nd Division 63 Brigade suffered heavy casualties, and was no longer able to counterattack the Chinese army, and now retreated to the inner city of Jinan.
"Commander," Oshiro's voice was low, "and the lowly one... Think... Ligaojun's proposal is feasible, continue to fight, once the army is freed up, I am afraid that it will be dangerous to have the last king. ”
Okamura Ninji still didn't speak, his eyes moved in the war room, and the always tough young officers lowered their heads as soon as they met his gaze, and the pride of the hustle and bustle of the past was gone at this moment. Okamura Ninji snorted coldly in his heart, turned around and walked to the map, looking at the map carefully, where is the opportunity? How can this crisis be resolved?
Okamura Ningji's eyes were staring at Shijiazhuang, Gu Shoufu still had about 60,000 people in his hands, at the beginning of the war, these 60,000 people could be killed from Beiping all the way to Taiyuan, but now they can only shrink in Shijiazhuang, unable to move.
"Let Gu Shoufu counterattack the Zhina army, I want to see if the Zhina army outside Shijiazhuang City is really outstanding." Okamura Ningji thought about it and opened his mouth to give an order, but it was not Liaocheng, and Tatsukanosuke still wanted to speak, Okamura Ningji's tone changed: "Order Yousue Jingsan to break through to the north, go west after arriving at Hengshui, meet with Gu Shoufu's troops, and order Wang Tong to ......"
"Division...... Commander "Sakurai came in again, this time his face was like dirt, his hand holding the telegram was shaking, Okamura Ninji glared at him angrily, and he stepped forward with two slaps: "Bastard, as an imperial samurai, must maintain the majesty of an imperial samurai at all times"
"Hayi" Sakurai stood upright, Okamura Ninji snatched the telegram from his hand and looked at it, and couldn't help but change his face greatly, the telegram was sent by Lieutenant General Takeshita Yoshiharu, the commander of the 27th Division who was responsible for commanding Wang Tong's attack, Takeshita Yoshiharu's telegram was a request for help, the Chinese Army launched a counterattack northeast of Wang Tong with two tank divisions of the First Mechanized Group Army, the 27th Division was powerless to stop, the second and third wings suffered most casualties, the second wing commander Kasahara Heiyoshi was killed, the third wing commander Shin Henghara was missing, and the 27th division was forced to retreat westward, The Shina tanks continued their offensive.
"It's over." Okamura Ninji popped up two words in his mind, Wang Tong's attack not only did not open up the passage to Dexian and rescue Matsui Shigen, but on the contrary, there was a danger of being broken by the Shina army, the tank, and the Shina tank
Zhuang Jihua's series of combination punches finally broke Okamura Ningji's will, he couldn't hold it anymore, and "poof" Okamura Ningji spurted out a mouthful of blood.
