The prisoner of war camp had few defenders, and in addition to the sudden attack, they were defenseless and suffered heavy casualties when they were caught off guard. Then those prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camp heard the gunfire and saw hope, and soon rioted and cooperated with Tie Niu and others, so soon the prisoner of war camp was controlled by Tie Niu's special combat team.
In the open space in the prisoner of war camp, Tie Niu gathered more than 10,000 prisoners of war, and then said loudly: "I am from the special combat team of the Seventh Independent Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and I am the colonel captain Tie Niu, and now I am announcing that you have been rescued!" ”
Hearing this, all the prisoners of war let out a heartless cheer, while some of the tortured prisoners wept bitterly.
Tie Niu didn't have time to watch them cry here, so he immediately said loudly: "Calm down, now our Duqi Division and the 89th Division of the 13th Army are jointly attacking Hukou, and now you are being recruited into our Duqi Division, are there any officers in it?" ”
"Yes!" Someone in the line shouted.
"It's the officer who immediately went out of the ranks!" Iron Bull Road.
Everyone was not stupid, since Tie Niu asked like this, it must have been for them to organize these prisoners of war to cooperate with the attack of the large army, which means that they are going to be reinstated, and soon seventy or eighty officers will come to the front of the team.
Tie Niu continued: "I don't care which part you belonged to before, and no matter what kind of army you used to be, from now on you are all infantry, and you all belong to our Duqi Division, because your lives are saved by us!" Do you understand? ”
"Clearly," said the captive, weakly and resignedly.
"Haven't you eaten enough and can't even speak?" Iron Bull said loudly.
"Sir, we haven't had enough for more than ten days!" Someone in the crowd said.
"Then you should yell a little louder, and if you don't have enough to eat, you have to find a way to feed your stomach and expect others to use it. All the officers are on their heed, and give you ten minutes to form your team. Take five hundred people each, start now! Iron Bull said loudly.
With Iron Bull's order, the officers at the front of the team all moved quickly, they knew that this was their only chance, and if they performed well now, they would definitely be reused when the battle was over.
Although the time of the whole team was more than ten minutes longer than the iron bull's regulations, it was finally sorted out. There were more people than expected. After the reorganization, there were 37 brigades of 500 people, with a total number of more than 15,000 people.
There was a small arsenal in the prisoner of war camp, and when these people were in formation, Tie Niu asked people to take out all the weapons in the arsenal, and together with the weapons on the guards who were killed, there were seven or eight hundred long and short guns.
After unifying these weapons into the two brigades, Tie Niu ordered Xu Haifeng to take these two brigades to attack the division headquarters of the 101st Division, while he himself took the remaining special combat personnel and the remaining more than 10,000 prisoners of war and went straight to the Japanese arsenal in the inner city. After all, they want to put these prisoners of war on the battlefield. You'll have to get them some good guys.
The headquarters of the 101st Division is now in chaos, originally they thought that the third fleet was guarding the river, and it was impossible for the Chinese to attack them from the water, so after occupying the mouth of the lake, they did not strengthen the defense line along the river, so that the defense line along the river was broken in less than ten minutes, and a large number of Chinese troops landed at the mouth of the lake and entered the inner city.
Originally, Yin Dong Zhengxi planned to order the remaining troops to engage in street battles with the headquarters of the Duqi Division in the city, trying to wait for reinforcements to arrive. As the division commander of the 101st Division. He was well aware of the importance of the lake mouth to the entire battlefield, and if the lake mouth was lost. The 101st Brigade on the Jiujiang Station and the 101st Wing that had just gone to reinforce not long ago will be surrounded by the Chinese defenders, and that is about to be destroyed!
He couldn't afford such a serious consequence, so even though he knew that it was dangerous for the division headquarters to stay in the city, he still held on.
However, the situation of the battle showed no signs of improvement, and the baggage corps and the gendarmerie directly under the division headquarters, which had suffered more than half of the casualties, were again severely damaged by the tidal wave of the Chinese army in the city. To make matters worse, something happened to the Laotaishan prisoner of war camp, and the division headquarters had lost contact with the defenders there. This made Yin Dongzheng even more frightened.
You must know that there are more than 15,000 prisoners of war held there, and the most important thing is that these prisoners of war are all hard bones on various battlefields, and they are all guys who refuse to cooperate with the imperial army. If he was willing to cooperate with the imperial army, he would have been incorporated into the troops of the various imperial armies, so why would he be gathered here and ready to be transported to Manchuria.
Once these people are rescued, they will be more than 10,000 elite soldiers with a little recuperation. In an instant, it can swallow up hundreds of remnants of soldiers in the hukou city.
Now the confidence of many people in the division headquarters has been shaken, and they have suggested that the division headquarters immediately withdraw from the lake mouth and join the 157th Wing or the 103rd Wing.
But Yin Dong Zhengxi knew that now that there was a division and regimental headquarters here, and the defenders in the city could only die, but once they withdrew, the troops in front were likely to flee clean in an instant.
However, just as Yoon Dong Jung-hee hesitated, fierce gunshots suddenly came from outside, and they became more and more intense.
Immediately afterwards, Captain Takahashi, the commander of the gendarmerie at the division and regimental headquarters, hurriedly rushed in and said: "Your Excellency, division commander, you must evacuate now, a force with more than a thousand people suddenly appeared on the right side of the division and regimental headquarters, and with the combat strength of our gendarmerie team, it will resist for a maximum of twenty minutes!" ”
Yin Dongzheng gritted his teeth and said, "Destroy the data and retreat immediately!" ”
The regimental headquarters of the 101st Division was withdrawn, and the scattered and scattered Japanese troops who had resisted gradually collapsed, and at 11:20, the combined forces of the 7th Division and the 89th Division captured Hukou.
The original 101st Division Headquarters has become the temporary headquarters of Ma Zheng and others at this time!
Looking at the half-burned map, Zhang Xuezhong said regretfully: "It's a pity that the old devil Yin Dong Zhengxi escaped, otherwise another Japanese lieutenant general will be cut off from your horse!" ”
Ma Zheng smiled and said: "Yin Dong Zhengxi escaped by luck this time, and he won't have such good luck next time." ”
"Master Ma, what should we do now?" Zhang Xuezhong asked again.
"In this way, Division Commander Zhang, your 89th Division will now immediately pursue from west to east along the route of the 101st Wing, and encircle the 101st Wing with the 35th Division of Brother Wang Jinzai, and the two divisions will encircle and annihilate a wing, and after the 101st Wing is annihilated, the remaining target is the 101st Brigade Headquarters, with the strong strength of the three divisions of the 13th Army, it may be impossible for the Japanese army to escape!" Ma Zheng said.
"Division Commander Ma, if our 89th Division withdraws from Hukou, what will you do with the Duqi Division, can you withstand the counterattack of the Japanese army?" Zhang Xuezhong asked heartily.
"You can rest assured that although the old devil of Yin Dong Zhengxi escaped, the only troops he had at his disposal were the 157th Wing and the 103rd Wing, plus an engineer wing, with a total strength of less than 8,000 people. Our attack may be somewhat restricted, but there is still no problem defending the city! Ma Zheng said.
"Do you want me to leave a regiment under the command of your department?" Zhang Xuezhong said again.
"No need, I rescued a lot of captives this time, and now that I have incorporated all of them into the Duqi Division, I guess I can support them for a while at that time!" Ma Zheng said.
Zhang Xuezhong didn't know that there would be more than 10,000 captives in Ma Zheng's mouth, so he didn't care, since Ma Zheng said that he didn't need it, then he was not hypocritical, so he immediately said hello to Ma Zheng and took people away.
Before going out, Zhang Xuezhong said again: "Master Ma, I will contact Brother Jinzai, end the war over there as soon as possible, and return to the division to reinforce the Duqi Division!" ”
"Hmmm! Thank you! Ma Zheng said.
After Zhang Xue and others left, Tie Niu, Huang Sicheng, Xu Hu, Xing Chao and others returned to the headquarters one after another.
The battle in the city is basically over, and now the troops are cleaning up the battlefield and clearing the remnants of the enemy, while some of them are responsible for repairing the destroyed fortifications in order to prepare for a possible Japanese attack.
In fact, Ma Zheng knows very well that although the 101st Division cannot be said to have completely lost its combat effectiveness now, there are not many soldiers to fight, and the strength of the two wings is barely able to protect itself in front of the Duqi Division, how dare he launch a counterattack on Hukou City, which is also the confidence of Ma Zheng to let the Duqi Division stay and face the Japanese army alone.
