This night was destined to be sleepless, Yoshio Shinozuka and Okamura Ninji did not sleep, whether it was the North China Front Command in Jinan or the Northwest Lu Garrison Command in Dezhou City, they were all brightly lit. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After receiving the latest telegram from Yoshio Hongo, Okamura Ninji and Yoshio Shinozuka were shocked and also quite troubled, now the Tsuchihachi Road has formed a situation of encirclement and annihilation of the 62nd Division, and the reinforcements of the 37th Division only have one cavalry wing to start on the road, and the infantry is still being assembled, and at this speed, it is simply impossible to reach the predetermined place within the scheduled time.
In desperation, Yoshio Shinozuka issued a conscription order in the name of the commander of the Northwest Lu Garrison Command and the chief of staff of the Front Army, and requisitioned all the cars in the city overnight.
Whether it is a small car or a large truck, whether it is a private company or the army, as long as all the motor vehicles in Texas City are requisitioned, no one will resist.
After more than two hours of busyness, the Japanese troops in Texas City finally gathered more than 200 vehicles of various types, and more than 200 vehicles could carry at least one infantry wing at a time.
After receiving the report from the defenders of Tokushu City, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka was overjoyed and immediately ordered the commander of the 37th Division, Lieutenant General Nomatachiro, to lead the most elite 225th Wing under his command to immediately rush to the front line to rescue the 62nd Division, and the rest of the troops rushed to the battlefield on foot.
However, to Shinozuka Yoshio's speechlessness, I don't know when, the road outside Dezhou City leading to Liuzhimiao Township was full of mines and traps, and the automobile team of the 37th Division had just left the city less than 20 miles before pressing mines one after another, and two large trucks and a small car were hit, resulting in 24 dead and 26 seriously injured, including two lieutenants.
Lieutenant General Mataichiro Nagano immediately ordered the engineering units to begin demining, but to the shocking thing, the minefield that suddenly appeared outside Texas City was surprisingly large, and the number of mines was also surprisingly large, and in an hour the engineering troops produced more than 900 mines, real and false, while the convoy moved less than 15 kilometers.
Lieutenant General Mataichiro Nagano's heart was half chilled when he saw this situation, and His Excellency Yoshio Shinozuka had talked to him when the troops were leaving, and he made it clear to him about the current crisis facing the Imperial Army.
It is not that the Great Japanese Empire cannot afford to lose a division, but the fact that the Great Japanese Empire has lost a complete infantry division in less than a week after the start of the war will inevitably cause the Great Japanese Empire's international prestige to be damaged once again. Therefore, His Excellency the Commander ordered them to do everything in their power to rescue the 62nd Division at all costs, even if it was to rescue even one infantry squadron at that time.
But now it seems that all this will become a luxury, and this is still in the area that the imperial army can control, and the people of China are so rampant. It is surprising that such a huge minefield suddenly appeared overnight.
If it was to the place where the control of the imperial army was weak, it would not become a paradise for mines, and the Chinese army did not know that the means of mines were very clever, and there were endless mines, serial mines, and treacherous mines, and in just one hour, the 37th Division lost more than 20 engineers, which made Nagano Matsuichiro both heartbroken and frightened.
In desperation, Lieutenant General Mataichiro Nagano had no choice but to order his troops to bypass the avenue and press through the nearby crop fields, thinking that it was impossible for Tsuchihachi Road to cover such a large field of crops with mines, because the amount of work was too large.
Nagano Manichiro's judgment was very accurate, although there were indeed mines in the crop fields, but the number was very small, and the explosion only rang out occasionally, but it was much better than the continuous explosion sound before.
So Lieutenant General Mataichiro Nagano had to order the convoy to move along the crop field all the way, so that although the speed of the car dropped a lot, it was much safer, and there was no way out.
The two sides are in a race against time, one side wants to annihilate the enemy in the encirclement in the shortest possible time, and the other side is trying to reinforce by all means.
And Yoshio Hongo, who was in the encirclement, had already realized the fate of himself and the entire 62nd Division, so he rushed to the station of the 65th Brigade at Xiaopingba and fled while actively collecting the scattered troops along the way.
He didn't dare to pin his hopes on Ueno Matomi and the Imperial Allied Army Infantry Division, even Major General Nakajima Tokutaro and his 63rd Brigade couldn't stop the attack of the Tsuchihachi Road, and that Imperial Allied Army Infantry Division and those two infantry squadrons could block it for two hours.
Hongo Yoshio had just escaped less than ten kilometers from Wangtong Town when he heard a rapid gunfire behind him, but the gunfire in the direction of Wangtong Town was getting weaker and weaker, Lieutenant General Hongo Yoshio knew that this time it was really over, and he didn't have to think that it must be that the people of China were catching up.
While he ordered the only two infantry squadrons around him to immediately move to the side of the mountain, first dodging the cavalry of the Shina people.
But his guard captain didn't agree with anything, the captain of the guard squadron of the 62nd Division was his fellow countryman and junior, and he had always listened to his words and never discounted him by half.
This time, however, instead of listening to his orders, he insisted that he, the commander of the division, immediately run in the direction of Xiaopingba with a few important officers, while he led the only two infantry squadrons to stop the enemy. Because once the Tsuchihachi Road is ahead of them, then there is no hope for Yoshio Hongo to go to Xiaopingba again.
As far as the current situation is concerned, only the 65th Infantry Brigade of Xiaopingba is the safest, and there is still a slight chance of survival. After all, Xiaopingba still has two complete infantry brigades of the 65th Infantry Brigade, plus the troops gathered along the way, there should be at least more than 4,000 people. Therefore, the captain of the guard squadron forced him to die and demanded that Yoshio Hongo immediately rush to Koheiba.
Hongo Yoshio was gone, taking two Shaosa and one Nakasa with him, and the four horses looked so lonely and desolate.
Think about what kind of majesty it was when you first arrived here, and then look at the present, it is completely a lost dog, and how obvious the gap is in comparison.
Now the most excited is Xu Hu himself, he didn't expect the battle situation to become so smooth, this is less than 4 days to basically complete the annihilation of the Japanese 62nd Division.
I just received news that the 14th Division of the puppet army stationed in Wangtong Town revolted on the battlefield, killed the chief of staff of the 62nd Division of the Japanese Army, Ueno Makotomi Osa, and surrendered the reorganized 5th Division.
The commander of the 62nd Division and several officers around him had fled to the Japanese stronghold in Xiaopingba, and all the Japanese positions along the road and the Japanese puppet troops in the stronghold also retreated into the Japanese position in Xiaopingba within a few hours, and those who did not have time to withdraw were all wiped out by the reorganized Fifth Division.
However, Xu Dagang also reported an angry situation, that is, the Japanese army destroyed all the villages and towns including Wangtong Town before withdrawing, and it is estimated that more than 730 people were killed and wounded that night, and more than 300 people were brutally slaughtered in Wangtong Town alone, and those puppet soldiers who surrendered can testify.
Xu Hu secretly scolded the brute, he knew that such a tragedy must be reported to his superiors immediately, waiting for the handling of opinions, he himself could not be the master, because this may involve some political factors. But no matter what, Xu Hu clearly knew that the most important thing now was to annihilate the remaining remnants of the Japanese army.
Therefore, while reporting to the Dezhou Campaign Headquarters, he also ordered the two brigades of the reorganized 4th Division to immediately march in the direction of Dezhou, especially the 1st Brigade, and they had to flank Xiaopingba together with the reorganized 5th Division, so as not to let a little devil slip through the net.
After receiving Xu Hu's telegram, Ma Zheng was furious, the little devil didn't remember to eat or fight, and he took revenge on him for the last massacre of innocent people. It's not been two years since this happened again, and it's really crazy.
However, Ma Zheng also understands that the cruelty of the little devil is notoriously known, although it has been reined in after being rectified by his political and military methods before. However, dogs can never change their eating, and they jump over the wall in a hurry.
It seems that it is necessary to clean up the dog's day, and the Japanese army is even planning to test chemical weapons in North China, there is no need to show mercy to such an unrepentant enemy, and it is enough to kill them all.
