The third part of the Bloody War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression of the Republic of China, the second chapter, the eighth section of the Jinpu Road Defensive Battle, the southern front

The mound was shrouded in smoke, and the explosion of the fire tore through the fog for a blur that did not disappear after the firelight disappeared. .qb5, COm\ smoke is back on the hills. The original Zhong Ling in the mountains and wilderness is delicate. It was replaced by a flood of killing. Inside a weed-covered shelter on the opposite side of the hill. Tani Shofu was holding a telescope to carefully observe the cannon on the opposite side, and the chief of staff of the division, Kazuho Shimono, and the commander of the 36th Brigade, Mitsuya Ushijima, were also holding binoculars to observe.

The cannonade stopped. In the telescope, a stream of yellow people rushed towards the hills. Suddenly a light burst out of the hill. The flow of people was immediately curbed. Gu Shoufu's face was gloomy. The hill had been holding them back for two days. The 36th Brigade attacked the hill three times and was knocked down three times. Gu Shou; It is not clear how the squadron on the hill managed to survive such heavy artillery fire. But it is. His troops were blocked.

"Ushijima-kun. Get ready to organize the eighth attack. Gu Shoufu put down the binoculars. Try to suppress anger. Although the troops are still on the offensive upwards. But he already saw it. The strength of the squadron on the mountain is still very strong. It looks like they're getting reinforcements.

"Hay." Ushijima just agreed. Tani added: "I don't want to see a ninth attack. ”

The division has been going well since its departure from Nanjing. But after conquering the Three Realms Town. Things started to change. The resistance of the squadron Three Realms Town is not strong. But they set up their blocking position on the hill behind the Three Realms Town. This hill doesn't look dangerous. It's not very high either. It took two days. Only two outposts were captured at the foot of the mountain.

Gu Shoufu knew that the smoothness of the previous time was an illusion. The squadron has been shrinking. In luring the enemy deep. Now they have figured out the Empire's line of attack. Formal resistance began.

However, the strategy of the Emperor ** team is not understood by these stupid Zhina. Gu Shoufu sneered in his heart. In fact, the Japanese offensive route had also changed, and after conquering the county, the commander of the attack cluster on the southern front, Hanedawara supported, divided the troops into three routes, the first route, and the sixth division to attack along the Jinpu railway. This is the main direction of attack; The second way is the division. Along the junction of Dingyuan and Mingguang, it detours to Mingguang; The third road is the 106th Division attached to the 3rd Division. Attack Dingyuan, then cross the Huai River from the southwest and detour to Beng. Straight behind the Chinese defenders. This is a double encirclement tactic, and the 9th Division is the first layer. The distance is circuitous. The Third Division is the second layer of long-distance detours. It is hoped that the main force of the ** team on the southern front can be defeated in one fell swoop.

According to this tactical requirement. The 6th Division, which was attacking the ground, was to draw a large number of Chinese defenders to the front and create conditions for the 3rd Division to stay away from the detour and succeed.

At present, the 1st Division is being stubbornly resisted by the Chinese defenders outside the town of Sanjie, and if it does not open up the situation as soon as possible, it will be difficult to complete the combat mission of attracting a large number of Chinese troops to the front. Toshio Toya was a little anxious.

Half an hour later, the attacking army retreated, and the captain of the group who led the troops to fight stood in front of Ushijima with blood stains. Ask for him to attack again. Ushijima didn't talk nonsense with him. Wave him straight down. Then the order opens

The cannon shook the mountains and fields. The ground is shaken.

The other side of the hill. Zhou Guanglie, the commander of the 113th Division, listened to the report of the chief of staff with a serious expression: "... Today. Left 2365 casualties 600 people. The losses have been almost incapacitated; The 423 regiment of the 7 brigade on the right lost eight hundred people. loss of combat effectiveness; Zheng 2364 repelled seven Japanese attacks. The regiment suffered 1,000 casualties. Loss of combat effectiveness. Plus the casualties of yesterday's 237 Brigade. Until today. The division suffered more than 3,400 casualties. ”

"Order 4 to get down." Zhou Guanglie's heart ached faintly. His division was a B division, with three brigades and two regiments, with a total of more than 8,000 people. Yesterday, one day, and today, nearly half of the casualties of the whole division were lost. In accordance with the orders of the military department. Resist here for three days. One more day. The devil's attack is getting more and more ferocious. Three days down. I'm afraid this division is almost reimbursed. That's all it takes. He still didn't dare to withdraw. Chiang Kai-shek's arrest of Han Fu in Kaifeng did not cause much shock at the top. But the shaking of the army commanders was very large. Nanjing killed a Zhou Lan. Kaifeng arrested one Han Fu and the other was a lieutenant general and deputy chief of staff. The other one is even less so. Deputy Commander of the Theater of Operations. The more the officials killed, the bigger they became. Harsh military law hangs over their heads. Zhou Lie didn't dare: let the 43 Brigade 9 Regiment take the 4 positions and order the division headquarters guard regiment to take the 2365 position. ”

Hesitate for a moment. Zhou Guanglie added: "Ask the military department for reinforcements." ”

After all that is said. Zhou Guanglie turned around and raised the binoculars. Bursts of explosions rose from the hills. He was worried. What about the replenishment after this battle?

Since the Lugou Bridge Incident. The 51st Army did not take part in any major battles. Only participated in the rearguard battle when receiving Song Zheyuan. The scale of the battle was not large. Then he was transferred to Jiaodong. Entered Qingdao. Prepare for the Japanese landing from Qingdao.

But they

The team is the Northeast Army. Since the Xi'an incident. The Northeast Army was treated in a neutral manner. Military pay alone has not been paid for three months. The brothers complained. The army commander Yu Xuezhong urged several times. The central government always replied that there was no money for the time being. Let them figure it out for themselves. Qingdao Mayor Shen Honglie is not bad. Get them a batch of military pay. But this man is going to finish fighting. What should I do if the central government does not give supplements?

The explosion was louder. Japanese fighters appeared in the sky. Zhou Guanglie raised his eyes and looked. Ignore him. But he didn't understand it in his heart. Where did the Chinese planes go? The Songhu Anti-Japanese War Times boasted about the great victory of the air force all day long. But they never saw the air cover provided by the national air force.

Report. The military department called back. ”

The chief of staff walked over a few steps. He took the telegram and looked at it carefully. Then hand Zhou Guanglie.

Received a telegram from Commander-in-Chief Li. The 9th Division of the Japanese Army was attacking along Li Xiazhang. Attempt to make a detour to the rear of our department. At present, the 92nd Division of the 46th Army is resisting step by step. The task of our division is to delay the attrition of the Japanese army. You should review your tactics in a timely manner. The town of Three Rivers is not a die-hard defense. It is necessary to maneuver with the 64th Regiment with movement defense and counterattack tactics. ”

Zhou Guanglie breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it. A sentence combining movement defense and counterattack made his mind suddenly brighten: "Order the troops to stop reinforcing them." Ordered 4 cameras to withdraw from positions. The 4239th Regiment was ordered to prepare for a night battle. ”

The ninth attack of the Japanese finally took down the hill that lay across their path. Randomly pounce down the hill. But it didn't go far. encountered the blocking line of the squadron again. The Japanese soon retreated.

Night falls on the earth. After a fierce battle, the relaxed spirit made the soldiers quickly fall asleep and light a fire in the mountain. With the help of these fires, the army illuminated the front of the position. Defend against a sneak attack by the squadron.

The fire swayed his heat in the night until dawn. The fire grew weaker. That's just at this time. A group of figures whispered from the side hillside = the snow-bright broadsword emitted a cold glow in the moonlight.

The sentry was silently. Then the man quickly rushed into the trenches. Soon. A gunshot shattered the pre-dawn silence. With that, the whole position became boiling. Blade Strike. Screaming. The curse came deeply. Occasionally, it was accompanied by the sudden sound of a submachine gun. By daylight. The Japanese troops in the positions were completely wiped out. The 113th Division regained its position.

Gu Shoufu was furious and immediately launched a round of attacks. The fighting intensified again. By the afternoon. The 6th Regiment recapture=

When Tani Shofu was furious. The offensive of the 3rd Division went well. The first army in front of the face - the times were the slightest contact, i.e., the side. But when the county seat of Dingyuan was overthrown. Liao commanded the 48th Army to carry out a large-scale blockade. Two days of bloody fighting with the 3rd Division. Then abandon Dingyuan and retreat westward. Fujita's Italia marched north to take the mussels. In order to complete the objectives of the first phase of the operation on the Southern Front. The 106th Division searched westward. Cover the flanks of the divisional regiment.

Liao waited in the west for two days. I didn't see the Japanese army advancing westward. So he launched a counteroffensive against Dingyuan with the Seventh Army as the vanguard. The vanguard made contact with the reconnaissance detachment of the 106th Division at Jiuzi, west of Dingyuan. The Seventh Army was the ace of the Gui system, and it annihilated the Suo detachment with one face. Then he pounced directly under Dingyuan City.

The 106th Division, under the command of the division Juni Matsuura, fought a bloody battle with the Group Army. After a day of fierce fighting. Liao saw the weakness of the 106th Division, so he lined up the two armies. The 106th Division was pinned down with the Seventh Army. The 46th Army went directly to the county from the south of Dingyuan.

Haneda, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Southern Front, saw that the 21st Army was menacing. The 5th Brigade of the 3rd Division was immediately dispatched south to reinforce Dingyuan. Fujita's offensive, which had lost half of his troops, weakened. It was easily blocked by Chen Dingxun of the 45th Army of the 22nd Group Army.

Haneda did not notice a change in the tactics of the squadron. After the 21st Army moved west again, it ordered the 5th Brigade to return to its formation. Susumu Fujita, who had regained his division, began to attack again. But the 5th Brigade had just arrived at the front. News came from the county headquarters again. The haunting 21st Group Army launched a counteroffensive again, and the squadron fought more resolutely. The striker hit Dingyuan City in half a day. This left Haneda scratching his head. He didn't quite understand what the squadron was doing.

So Yu of the Fifth Division once again ordered the 29th Brigade of the 3rd Division to reinforce Dingyuan. The 29th Brigade had just arrived on the battlefield. The 21st Regiment immediately retreated westward. Now Haneda understands it. The squadron's tactic was to weaken the power of the Japanese frontal attack by counterattacking from the flanks.

After Haneda thought it through, he immediately ordered Major General Aoki, the commander of the 106th Regiment of the 106th Division stationed in Taizhou, to leave a wing to guard Taixing. The rest of the troops immediately moved westward. Reinforcements are set far away. Later, a message was dictated to Gu Shoufu. Expressing dissatisfaction with their progress. And give a warning.
