Section 11 The Great Victory IV

The third part of the Speculators of the Republic of China, the second chapter of the Bloody War of Resistance, the eleventh section of the Jinpu Road Defensive War, the great victory

Zhuang Jihua sent more than a dozen telegrams to Chiang Kai-shek with great difficulty. Analyze the benefits of this move from all sides. First of all, this move refutes the rumor that the so-called central government has weakened the strength of the party by resisting Japan; second, the powerful faction of the party is urged to work hard and no longer have worries; Third, it will leave a foreshadowing for dealing with troops that will be ineffective in future operations; Fourth, there will be losses in any troop operation. The attrition of soldiers and junior officers by the central government can effectively weaken the general's control over the troops; Fifth, it can buy people's hearts. Jean's generals leaned toward the center.

Zhuang Jihua put these five principles in front of Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek reluctantly agreed to reorganize the 59th Army, but Chongqing's weapons and ammunition were still not relaxed. Zhuang Jihua had no choice but to speak. Chiang Kai-shek reluctantly agreed to provide a division of equipment.

Even so. Zhang Zizhong and Li Wentian are also inexplicably grateful. As is customary. The Fifty-ninth Army suffered such great losses. The drawdown of troops is almost certain. Zhang Zizhong is also ready to downsize. Now the situation is a complete surprise.

"Pop" light flashed. Zhang Zizhong turned his head and saw a beautiful female reporter taking pictures of them. Next to her was a brave young man.

Zhuang Jihua was also alarmed by the lights. He turned his head and beckoned to the female reporter. The female reporter put down the machine. Smiled and walked over.

"General Chen. Let me introduce you. This is Miss Mei Youlan, a reporter from Yuzhou Evening News. He's a very difficult journalist. Zhuang Jihua said to Zhang Zizhong with a smile.

"Big brother. You say that. It's like I'm a bad guy. Report the heroic deeds of the officers and men of the 59th Army to the people of the whole country. Enhance the confidence of the people to win. What's so bad about that. Mei Youlan complained with some dissatisfaction

Zhang Zizhong looked at Mei Youlan and Jihua with some puzzlement. Feeling that their relationship was not simple, Pang Xun smiled and whispered in his ear about Yulan's background. That's when he understood. At the same time, the scalp is also a little numb, Zhuang Jizhi's sister. Song Meiling's niece. This backstage is also too hard.

None of the generals of the Republic of China can only fight. Zhang Zizhong is no exception. Mei Youlan's tough background made him feel like he couldn't help but cheer up to deal with it. However, Li Wentian showed greater enthusiasm and not only took the initiative to cooperate with the interview. Enthusiastically accompanied Mei Youlan to the army for an interview, which made Zhang Zizhong a little puzzled. But Li Wentian told him. If Mei Youlan's report can attract the attention of the people. It is beneficial to the upcoming reorganization, and Zhang Zizhong suddenly realized. Zhuang Jihua introduced Mei Youlan to him not without purpose.

A few days later. An extra-large photo was published in the Chongqing Evening News. The photo shows several soldiers with bloodied faces. The whole body was in tatters. With a steel gun in hand, he watched warily ahead. Behind him, the tattered military flag fluttered in the wind. The tank rolls over after an explosion in the distance. The corpse was hung upside down on the tank.

The photos give a strong visual effect and are stunning. Be wary of a dedicated gaze. A steel gun in your hand. Tattered military uniforms. Burning tanks. All of them mean that this is a bloody battle of life and death. Western newspapers reprinted the photo. And distributed the caption: "Chinese defenders under the city". At the same time, Weber's report caused a sensation in the United States, and some people in American political circles began to talk about underestimating China's ability and determination, and the victory that the Japanese wanted to win may not be so easy.

Go ahead. Go to the forefront of the resistance; The headquarters of the Third Regiment issued a call to all strata of the country to flock to the recruitment points in large numbers. Sign up for the military. The three-hall anti-gang troupe wrote and staged a play. It is performed in major theaters. The venue was full.

Subsequently, the newspapers in Wuhan successively published interviews and reports of the 59th Army. "Bloody Battle Half Town", "Defending the Front" and other reports reflecting the 59th Army's conquest. Wuhan is a sensation again.

The continuation of the great victory. The obstacle to the expansion of the 59th Army was finally cleared. A few days later, 40,000 additional soldiers and 800 graduates of the Central Military Academy and branches recruited from Hubei and Anhui were also sent to Lin. The first batch of Chongqing-made weapons also arrived. Zhang Zizhong devoted all his energy to the reorganization of the troops. And Zhuang Jihua has already returned to Xu.

In a few days, the situation on the battlefield was completely one-sided. Jining side. Du Ming will only Lan Yundong Zhang Lihui Wang Guobin annihilated the 104th Brigade. Killed the brigade commander Tomi on the fourth floor. The collapse of the fourth floor of the meter made Xia Yuan Xiong Mi completely lose the confidence to break through. With the mentality of hitting where and counting there, he held on to the death of Jining City.

Seki continued to pursue Ryosuke Isoya. Capture the clouds. Ryosuke Isoya led the remnants of more than 8,000 people to retreat to Laiwu; Tang Enbo commanded the 85th Army and the 110th Division to capture the south. Seishiro Itagaki retreats towards the water. Then he gave up the water. Retreat to the cities. Yang Sen commanded the 24th Army and Situ Fei's division to launch an attack on Tai'an. After a fierce battle with Yamaoka Heavy Thick - after annihilating the fourth floor of the meter. Sun Lianzhong's Second Army left Yanzhou and swept north through Ningyang and Wenshang. Attack Feicheng. Prepare the wing to break through the Japanese Tai'an line.

The situation on the battlefield is unprecedentedly favorable to China. The existence of Shimoto Kumiya has become a major obstacle. August 16. Li Zongren ordered a final attack on Shimoto Kumami.

The end of the Japanese army in the encirclement arrived. The firepower of the two armies was completely reversed. Fighters of the Chinese Air Force obscured the sky. The artillery fire of the ** squadron completely suppressed the small amount of firepower of the Japanese army. Japanese soldiers shivered under artillery fire. After artillery fire. The squadron attacked simultaneously on all four sides. After a day of fierce fighting. The West Group composed of Xunqi Wang Mingzhang and the East Group composed of Lihui Wang Guobin successively broke through the Japanese defense line. After launching an attack on the depth of the Japanese army. The Northern Group, formed by Liang and Ahn, also broke through the Japanese lines. At this point, the entire Japanese defense circle was divided into several pieces by the squadron.

Jiang Baili duly put the general preliminary-team Lan Yundong Division Rao Guo into battle. Launch a surprise attack on the Japanese from the southern front. Lan Yundong and Rao Guohua have long been suffocated. After receiving the order. It's like a sharp sword. In one fell swoop, he pierced the soft lower abdomen of the Japanese army. Rushed to the outside of Xiayuan's headquarters.

Facing the crazy attack of the ** team. The Japanese troops in the encirclement fought desperately in despair. There is no way back. There are no reinforcements. Nothing. After the Japanese soldiers on the formation ran out of bullets. He shouted long live and launched a death charge in the face of the rain of bullets.

Xia Yuan Xiongmi's face was discouraged. The sound of explosions outside could not move him at all. It's all over. The troops are running out of anything. All the shells have been emptied. The bullets were only left in the chambers of the soldiers, and the wounded could only wail and die in the medical team.

There was deathly silence in the Command. No one was interested in talking

Chief of Staff Suzuki hesitated and said, "Cabinet, we can at least try it." ”

Looking at Suzuki without a confident face. Xia Yuan shook his head sadly. The war launched by the emperor to punish China actually achieved such a result. It was unexpected. Completely different from the judgment of the empire to break through? More than 100,000 troops surrounded the place. All the strength of the division was used, and it could only be a fantasy to rush out with only a few hundred people from the direct team.

Suzuki doesn't think so. He didn't want to just break it. He came to China to make meritorious deeds. It's not from the jade crush.

"Your Excellency concentrates on it. Northwest breakout. Then bypass Wenshang. Cross the Yellow River in Dongping. Suzuki suggested.

Xia Yuan smiled bitterly. Suzuki's proposal. Let's not talk about being able to rush out. Even if you break out of the encirclement. The rest of the road is all within the control of the Chinese army. When the time comes, there will be planes in the sky. The lower circumference is chased and intercepted. The chances of escaping the Yellow River are less than 1 in 10,000.

"Your Excellency. We have been holding out the army for a long time. Suzuki saw the picture of Xia Yuan still staring blankly. Knowing that he had completely lost confidence, he still did not give up and persuaded: "We have completed the task in the field, and the division has paid the price. Now it's time to break through and save some of the warriors who can still fight for the Empire. "Suzuki. I can surround it. Xia Yuan finally spoke: "You can break through." You're still young. It can also contribute to the Empire. If you can highlight it. Tell the general of the terauchi. To conquer China. Current forces alone are not enough. The man is more stubborn than we are. The Battle of Xuzhou can teach us many lessons. ”

"Your Excellency." Suzuki was a little anxious. Below is the division. He goes. He Suzuki is also difficult to walk. Otherwise, he would have rushed out. It is also difficult to escape the punishment of military law: "Let's rush out together." With the fighting power of the Imperial Samurai. Able to rush out completely."

Xia Yuan sighed and waved his hand: "Suzuki-kun." I'm getting old. I can't live with the guilt of defeat. The 108th Division is from me. I will also join the soldiers of the 108th Division to break the jade for the emperor. ”

After speaking, Xia Yuan wrote a warrant and handed it to Mu: "I order you to lead the troops to break through." I stayed to attract the attack of the Chinese army. Cover your breakout. ”

"Your Excellency." Suzuki's eyes were in tears. I couldn't speak. He knew that Xia Yuan had already made up his mind. I'm not going to leave. Suzuki led nearly 1,000 troops to attack the combination of An En and Guo Xunqi at night. The Japanese threw all their remaining strength into this offensive. More than a dozen machine gunners were armed with machine guns to clear the way. The soldiers in the back followed bravely. Completely ignoring the bullets fired from the front. The person who was hit tried to open his body. Attract firepower. Cover behind. The soldiers who followed picked up their machine guns and continued to charge forward.

The Chinese soldiers on the board seemed to be suppressed by the Japanese army's resoluteness. The array has loosened. The Japanese took the opportunity to rush into battle. The living Chinese soldiers were forced to retreat. The tight encirclement revealed a gap.

Suzuki, who broke through the first layer of the encirclement, was not very happy. He didn't even have time to taste the victory. Immediately swing your troops and assault the first layer of encirclement. The sudden breakthrough of the Japanese army. The squadron was caught off guard. Suzuki broke through two lines of defense in a row. Jiang Baili was angry after receiving the report. Strictly ordered Wang Mingzhang and An Enpu to plug the gap. Otherwise, military law will punish severely.

Wang Mingzhang was anxious and personally led the reserve team to launch a counterattack. An Enpu also mobilized reserves to launch a counterattack from the flanks; Jiang Baili also ordered the two clusters to attack immediately. Contain the actions of the Japanese army.

Zhang Lihui and Wang Guobin launched a fierce attack on the Eastern Front. After Shen Zhuang annihilated the Sugiyama brigade, he continued to attack Liuhang.

Lanyun Dongrao Guohua cleared the outer army of Liuxing. Then continue to attack Liuhang. Rush to the willow line in one fell swoop. On this day. Shimoto Kumami committed suicide by cutting his abdomen. The Japanese command system was completely destroyed.

Suzuki was a little desperate. There are more and more squadrons coming from all sides. The troops are getting tired. What's more, the ammunition is also open. The shells are long gone. The ammunition for the grenadier was also depleted. The machine gun has been thrown away. Only the bravery of the soldiers can be relied on.

"Warriors of the Empire. His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for news of your victorious breakthrough. Suzuki waved his command knife. Loudly motivate the soldiers.

"Hooray." The living soldiers plucked up their courage. Pick up the bloodstained knife and continue to move forward.

"The Immortal Banban." Wang Mingzhang put on a military hat with his hand. His face was full of murderous anger: "This is the last strength of the little devil." Tell the brethren. Give Lao Tzu a stand. That's not allowed. and death shall be upon the battle. Mom bought the batch. Lao Tzu is here. Death also dies here. ”

The commander of the first line of defense died in battle. After the commander of the second line of defense retreated, he was executed on the spot by Wang Mingzhang. Now no one dares to retreat. Wang Mingzhang came to the front line in person. Japanese soldiers shouted as they charged forward. They straightened up. Completely ignoring the oncoming bullets.

Suzuki was in the final wave of attacks with dozens of soldiers. Now they don't have any tactics. Everyone rushed forward blindly. They don't have the same sparkle as they did when they marched in triumphantly two months ago. Only the madness of death remains.

If the troops on top of the formation are the troops of other systems. Suzuki's attack may be able to kill a bloody path. It's a pity that the troops from Sichuan are guarding the formation. This force is far better equipped than other Chinese units. On par with the Japanese army. Dense fire tore through the Japanese attack formation. Most of them were killed before they could reach the battle. A handful of people rushed into battle. It was also quickly wiped out.

Suzuki's chest was bleeding. Sadly, it fell on the hot earth burned by the artillery fire. His eyes looked up at the sky without light. Soon after Suzuki's demise. Lan Yundong conquered Liuxing. The organized resistance of the Japanese army basically ceased. There were only a few Japanese troops left under the city of Jining, who were still hopelessly holding on.

“… So far. The Battle of Xuzhou ended. Our army annihilated two divisions and one brigade of the Japanese army. Crushed three divisions. The total number of enemies annihilated is two, including the line annihilation of the enemy). Killed the commander of the Japanese chief lieutenant general division, Shimoto, Kumaya, Nakajima, and Imaigo. Major General Brigade Commander Yamamoto Naozo Tomome's fourth floor Kusaba Tatsumi has been waiting.... Our army switched to a full-scale counteroffensive in Shandong. The army retreated to Taean. Laiwu Zhucheng. ”
