Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Battle of Anqing 20

The captain of the Japanese army took a look, and these puppet Manchurian ** in front of him were obviously lifeless, looking like a defeated army. The synergy hat is worn crookedly. Some of them have been lost, their hair is dripping with rain, and most of them are covered in mud and unspeakable embarrassment.

"Assemble the formation and report the number." A Japanese officer came over and gave them a whole team.

The defeated army began to drag and whistle.

The captain frowned, "Major Wang, how is the situation with Tan Yuanpu?" ”

"Big... Your Excellency the Captain...", Wang Qingyuan stammered, his eyes glanced at the captain of the Japanese army, and his expression was indescribably flustered and frightened.

The military situation was urgent, and a Japanese officer next to the captain said angrily: "Bastard, see if you still look like a soldier!" Why don't you answer His Excellency Nakasa Yoshida quickly! ”

Wang Qingyuan's body trembled and collapsed directly to the ground.

This devil officer named Captain Yoshida suddenly felt strange, he looked around Wang Qingyuan by the lamp, and there was a "Manchurian**" who happened to raise his eyes and look at Yoshida Nakasa.

It was a pair of hungry wolf eyes when it saw its prey, full of fierceness and fighting spirit, not like a defeated army!

"You," Yoshida shouted, but before he could utter the third word, he would never be able to say it, and the soldier pulled out his pistol, pointed it at his head, and pulled the trigger.

The bullet entered from Yoshida's left eye and ran out of his right temple.

Suddenly, the "Manchurian **" on the opposite side roared and launched an attack on the Yoshida brigade.

The Japanese were caught off guard, and most of the soldiers were attacked empty-handed before they could even remove their weapons. Some Chinese soldiers threw grenades at the crowd of Japanese soldiers, and two 92 heavy planes were quickly set up and fired fiercely.

In the mountains and grass next to it, countless Chinese soldiers came out and charged the remnants of Yoshida's brigade...

In less than half an hour, the battle ended, and almost all of the more than 500 Japanese soldiers were annihilated, and only a dozen people escaped the net!

A perfect attack that could be enshrined in textbooks! But Xu Ming couldn't be happy, and before he even had time to clean up the battlefield, he had to face a new enemy.

The Hase detachment has arrived!

As soon as Xu Ming's troops dispersed in formation, Hasegawa Masanogen led his team to arrive, and the two sides directly engaged in an encounter in the mountains. In the wind and rain, unable to see the appearance of the opponent, and unable to contact their own side, Hasegawa Masaken and Xu Ming both chose the same combat attack method.

Charge!

A charge without any fire preparation!

At this time, the fight is momentum, and the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road! The Japanese army is known as the first elite 6th Division of the Empire, all the way from North China and Central China to conquer the city, invincible! On the opposite side is the 107th Division, which can be regarded as China's trump card troops, from the Wuhu raid to the glory of Anqing, from undefeated!

There was not a trace of gunfire, and in the mountains, except for the screams of the dead and wounded soldiers, only the collision of cold weapons remained.

There was a sudden glow in the darkness, and sparks erupted from the bayonets of both sides.

A Chinese soldier looked at a dark figure walking by, stretched out his hand, and touched the other man's clothes.

Smooth khaki, it's the Japanese army!

The battle is short and brutal, the dark sides are unable to organize, coordinate, or even distinguish between friend and foe, and you may never know if you are next to an ally or an enemy.

This feeling of helplessness was a great test for the commanders of either side, both sides were struggling, and Xu Ming only had dozens of guards around him, holding on to a small hill.

The night passed.

As the sky grew brighter, the soldiers on both sides spontaneously retreated backwards, and no fool dared to fall into the crowd of the opposing side. In last night's white-knuckle battle, no one lost, but no one won!

"Commander-in-chief, the chairman of the committee is urgent!"

Yang Sen took a look, "The headquarters of the 27th Group Army must immediately launch an attack on the enemy in front of it in the early morning of the 29th, and the Zhongzheng Command is given." ”

From last night to now, Yang Sen's troops have received several telegrams from Anqing to the theater headquarters. Now the military committee in Wuhan also called, asking Yang Sen to lead his troops to attack from Qianshan head-on, in order to deal with the 107th Division Xu Ming's headquarters on the front.

Yang Sen received a telegram last night, he didn't believe it, Xu Ming was obviously in Anqing, and he would be near Qianshan? There was also an exchange of fire with the 47th Wing.

Xu Ming's actions have gone beyond the scope of normal people, most of the officers hope to win safely, the 107th Division has an advantage in Anqing, the Japanese army has repeatedly failed to overcome but has suffered heavy casualties, and no senior general with a "normal" brain will take any more risks.

But Xu Ming's brain is not "normal", and the result is that now everyone is shocked when they receive the telegram.

Bai Chongxi rubbed his loose eyes and asked, "Really?" Lose his mother! ”

Lao Jiang was called up in the middle of the night, and the entourage next to him presented the map, and Lao Jiang slapped the table, "What!" Niang Xipi! ”。

Okamura Ninji didn't have a fishing rod anymore, so he hurriedly walked towards the headquarters of the sixth general Yanjun to urgently discuss the situation in Anqing.

Everyone was shocked, but the Chinese were ecstatic and the Japanese were afraid.

In the early morning of June 29, in the drizzle, the 133rd Division of Yang Sen's headquarters began to force the crossing from diving, and the 1st Brigade of the Japanese garrison immediately entered the battle.

Forced to cross several failures, Yang Sen was furious, and scolded his nephew division commander Yang Hanyu for a bloody sprinkler, Yang Hanyu didn't say a word, picked up the Burgman flower mechanism, and personally led the troops to charge.

The widest part of the dive in this season is more than 300 meters, and the narrowest point is more than 100 meters, and the poorly equipped Sichuan army takes simple small wooden boats and even rafts, braving the dense bullets of the Japanese army, launching wave after wave of offensives.

Soon after Yang Hanyu's 133rd Division entered the battle, Yang Hanzhong's 134th also carried out a forced crossing on the left flank, and the Sichuan army took advantage of the numerical advantage on the river for more than ten miles to launch an attack at the same time, and the Japanese army of less than 1,000 people landed on the left and right.

At noon, Yang Hanyu boarded the other side. Soon, the 134th Division successfully landed on Gantang on the left flank, and on the right flank of the squadron was Su Zuxin's 135th Division, which had just arrived.

Whether it is Yang Sen, commander-in-chief of the 27th Group Army, or Wei Yunsong, commander of the 31st Army, they all know that victory and military exploits are just around the corner.

Such a carnival feast, you can't miss it.

*********

In Nanjing, the headquarters of the Central China Front of the Japanese invasion of China, the commander of the front army, General Yan Shunliu, the chief of staff Shozo Kawabe, the commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Ninji, and the chief of staff Miyamoto Sadachi, all senior officers and all the other senior officers, held an emergency military meeting.

There were 2 telegrams in everyone's hands, the first of which was a telegram asking for help, which came from the Hase detachment at noon on the 29th, "The superior strength of about 5 divisions of the Shina Army is carrying out an encirclement attack on our army, and the first wing seeks tactical guidance." ”

The second was a farewell telegram: "The battle has reached its final moment, the detachment is running out of ammunition, and the enemy is being annihilated with bayonets ... The flag has been burned... Asking for the Imperial Kingdom to be safe, the military fortune is long-lasting, and the 47th Wing Wing Commander Hasegawa Masanoshi is forever. ”

There was only the sound of panting in the room, and the chief of staff of the front army, Kawabe Shozo, put down the telegram, and closed his eyes tightly, like an old monk in a fixed place.

When he provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident, would he have thought that the war would be so difficult?

"What is the situation of the Sakai detachment now?" Finally, Yan Junliu broke the silence and asked.

"Your Excellency Commander, the detachment has stopped the attack on Jixian Pass, first build fortifications on the spot, and wait for the instructions of the front army." Ninomiya Yoshiji Shaosa, a staff officer at the military station, stood up and replied.

After the Sakai detachment completed the close fortifications, it immediately carried out a fierce attack on the position of the squadron, and the defender Wang Yaowu used all the reserves of the 51st Division, and the two sides launched a fierce battle on the front line of the moon-shaped mountain.

At that time, Tokutaro Sakai sent a telegram: "... is fighting strongly, and has defeated the enemy's elite 107th Division... In a fierce battle with the 74th Army supported by China, it has gradually broken through into the enemy's position, and is expected to capture the vicinity of the Moon Mountain tomorrow. ”

Now it seems that this telegram is so ironic, the 107th Division has been "defeated" to Qianshan, and by the way, it has captured Yuantanpu halfway!

If this telegram leaked out, it would be a laughing stock for the ages of the Imperial Japanese Army!

Everyone in the Japanese army moved, what was Shiro Inaba, the commander of the 6th Division, doing?

He sat at the table in despair, surrounded by a group of equally desperate staff.

He knew how desperate the situation was, he had no troops in his hands!

The 6th Division was a lone army to the south, and there were more than 10 divisions in front of the squadron, and 14 of them had clear numbers, including the enemy's elite 107th, 51st, and 58th divisions and the strong Gui troops. But he thought that the imperial army was invincible, so he didn't take the opponent in his eyes, and marched all the way.

The 6th Division itself has more than 25,000 people, which seems to be a lot, but after the previous battles in Qianshan and Anqing, the number of dead and wounded plus sick has exceeded 5,000. There are about 10,000 people on the front line of Jixian Pass, and yesterday one day, another 5,000 people died near Tan Yuanpu and diving!

On June 29, the darkest day of the 6th Division, when he heard that the Hase detachment was surrounded, Shiro Inaba fainted at that time, and this was the second time. Yesterday, Tan Yuanpu was lost, and that was the first time.

"Give the order to go down, all logisticians, including medics, and prepare to assemble for battle."

"What about Tongcheng?" A staff officer asked, Tongcheng is full of more than 4,000 Japanese troops, of which more than 3,000 are baggage soldiers and non-combat personnel, and there is only one brigade of conventional troops that can be used for combat!

Go to support the Sakai detachment, who guards Kiritsu!

The 6th Division has been singing the empty city plan, and now the empty city plan is singing the problem. Now if you catch a Chinese on the street at random, I am afraid that you will know that the Japanese army in Tongcheng is empty, so you have to pull all the troops out to support the Sakai detachment.

If Tongcheng is lost again, the 6th Division will not be able to save Amaterasu if he is born!

How could Inaba Shiro not know, but how could he watch the troops of Jixian Pass fall into a desperate situation, and he was waiting for another to say that a communication soldier came,

"Your Excellency the division commander, the commander of Gangcun is calling."
