Chapter 505: The Japanese Army Attacks Pearl Harbor
"Division commander, the Japanese naval fleet attacked the US naval base Pearl Harbor yesterday, and the United States has declared war on Japan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Seeing Liu Tianshu looking at him, Sun Xuexuan said eagerly.
"What? Little Japan sneak attack on Pearl Harbor of the US Navy? When Liu Tianshu heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. Does this little Japan have a bag on its head or something, it's not enough to toss around on Chinese soil, and it still provokes the Americans, it seems that it really responds to that sentence, and it is still possible to violate the evil of heaven, and it is not possible to live if it is self-inflicted.
"Yes, now even the radio broadcast from Chongqing has been broadcast, and the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy has been attacked several times by the Japanese naval aviation, and it has basically been completely annihilated. Now the Americans are completely enraged. Sun Xuexuan said.
"Haha, this is really good, the Americans are the most realistic, since Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, they have only morally supported China and made some international assistance, but they are helping China while trading with Japan. This is good, little Japan doesn't remember feelings at all, but instead takes a bite. Xue Xuan, Meng Xuan, now that the United States has declared war on Japan, the day when little Japan will be finished will not be far away. Liu Tianshu suddenly felt in a good mood, if possible, he really wanted to give a special and large medal to the person who proposed the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.
Hao Mengxuan saw Liu Tianshu so happy, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Division commander, why did the United States declare war on Japan, and the day when the little devil is finished is not far away." Didn't Deputy Chief of Staff Sun say that the US Pacific Fleet was destroyed by little Japan in one fell swoop? ”
In Hao Mengxuan's view, the success of the sneak attack of Little Japan this time obviously gave the upper hand, why did the division commander say that the day when the little devil was finished was not far away.
Sun Xuexuan on the side also looked at Liu Tianshu suspiciously.
"Hehe, you may not know that the comprehensive national strength of the United States is not comparable to that of small Japan, take the European battlefield as an example, as far as I know, if it were not for the United States supporting Britain behind the back, I am afraid that the Germans would have occupied the British Isles long ago, and the First World War was defeated because of the United States' participation in the war. Compared with the United States, Japan is like a child and an adult, and although the sneak attack of a child may have taken advantage of it temporarily, it is not an opponent of an adult at all. Brigadier Hao, don't be busy going back yet, I'll let the cooking team make a few good dishes, and everyone will have a good drink. Liu Tianshu said emotionally.
After a while, Political Commissar Jiang, Chief of Staff Xiang, Minister Su, and Deputy Division Commander Zhang also learned the news of the war between the Americans and the Japanese, and naturally they all went to Liu Tianshu to discuss it.
After listening to Liu Tianshu's analysis, everyone's emotions rose.
After four years of fighting with little Japan, listening to the tone of the division commander, this war has seen the dawn of victory. When drinking at night, Song Yujie was also picked up from the hospital by Liu Tianshu.
At noon the next day, the operational plans of the 22nd and 21st Brigades were sent to the division headquarters, and after Liu Tianshu, Jiang Jinyong, Xiang Luoquan, Su Lan, Zhang Zhouhong, and Sun Xuexuan carefully discussed their operational plans, they immediately approved the operational plans of the two brigades.
In the afternoon, a piece of news came, so that Liu Tianshu couldn't tell whether he wanted to laugh or cry, and the Chongqing Nationalist Government officially declared war on Japan.
You say, what is going on, the two sides have been fighting for four years, and it is not even a state of war. If it weren't for the United States formally declaring war on little Japan, then he really didn't know when it would be officially declared war on Japan.
This is the sorrow of the country's poverty and backwardness.
Subsequently, the military headquarters sent a telegram asking the officers and men of the division to study the international and domestic situation and the important spirit of the Party Central Committee on the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
The next day, just after dark, the 64th Regiment of the 21st Brigade suddenly launched a fierce attack on Zhujiaxiang in the west of Huzhou, and Long Zhishui, the commander of the 64th Regiment, placed the first battalion on the east side of Zhujiaxiang to block the enemy who might come to help, and its second and third battalions attacked the Japanese puppet army in Zhujiaxiang, and fought fiercely for three hours, eliminating more than 200 Japanese troops and more than 300 puppet soldiers, and seizing a large amount of ammunition and materials.
The enemy in Huzhou received an urgent call from the defenders of Zhujiaxiang and was originally going to send reinforcements, but they received a report from the defenders of Changxing that Changxing City was attacked by a large force of the New Fourth Army and that the situation in Changxing was critical.
The commander of the Japanese army in Huzhou immediately knew that the New Fourth Army was not good at coming this time, and according to the practice of the New Fourth Army in previous operations, he would definitely arrange troops east of Zhujiaxiang to block it, and perhaps the New Fourth Army's blocking troops were hiding outside Huzhou City.
As a result, the commander of the Japanese army in Huzhou could only order the Japanese troops in Zhujiaxiang and Changxing to wait for reinforcements, and at the same time made an urgent report to the above about this sudden situation.
At that time, the Japanese army was immersed in the ecstasy of defeating the US Pacific Fleet, and although this great victory was won by the Japanese Navy, it also seemed to prove that the decision to go south was extremely correct. The current Pacific Ocean, with the US Pacific Fleet suffering heavy losses and losing its combat effectiveness, seems to have become the backyard of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
According to Commander Dorze's understanding, the base camp has formed the Southern Army, and now it is sitting on the ocean-going sea ship produced by the Empire, carrying the Imperial saber, to conquer the vast and rich land on the other side of the South Sea.
At this time, the sudden dispatch of the independent division disturbed the great interest of the whole empire, and Doze had to suppress this bad news, and at the same time ordered the troops in Wuxi and Suzhou to prepare for reinforcements.
It's a pity that the two wings of the 142nd Division have now advanced west along the Yangtze River, otherwise, with these two wings in the southeast of Anhui, they can suppress Liu Tianshu's impulse.
Duoze did not let the Japanese troops in Huzhou and Yixing desperately save each other, but suffered the Japanese troops in Changxing.
Tong Guijie was determined to take Changxing in one fell swoop this time, and the two main regiments rushed to Changxing City and immediately surrounded Changxing City, and then, the 65th Regiment was in the east and the 66th Regiment was in the west, attacking Changxing City fiercely.
The situation of the enemy in Changxing, he has already made it clear.
After the Japanese army occupied Changxing City, in order to buy people's hearts, they did not restrict the entry and exit of the common people, that is, the Japanese army, except for the troops guarding outside the city, the rest also stayed in the county honestly, and did not come out to harm the villagers, as for the task of going to the countryside to collect grain, it was the responsibility of the puppet army.
In the first month, these puppet armies were still very fierce, taking the opportunity of going out of the city to clear the guerrillas and levying grain for Latin, to engage in some acts of bullying men and women, and later with the independent division sent countless armed work teams, these puppet troops who went out of the city suddenly became honest, and many of them fell into the hands of the New Fourth Army's military engineering team, wrote a confession, and had to agree to be the inside line of the New Fourth Army.
Of course, others don't know how much role these inner lines can play, but these martial arts team members have been trained by the reconnaissance brigade to assault, and they have a very good set of methods on how to control these internal lines.
Because the devils were cowering in the city, they did not know about the secret contacts between the puppet army that went out of the city and the New Fourth Army, but the plainclothes sent by the devils were dealt a heavy blow by the New Fourth Army's armed engineering team and the militia organizations operating in the countryside, and they lost more than half.
The devil's troop layout in Changxing, the general situation Tong Guijie has long been clear.
No, he only sent one battalion of troops to monitor the south gate heavily defended by the devils, but his focus was on the east and west directions.
The 65th Regiment attacking the East Gate, under the command of Gui Xuebing, first launched an attack on the Japanese position at Xiaogangzi outside the city.
The devils stationed in Xiaogangzi have only one squad plus a company of puppet troops, but Xiaogangzi is not big, and the length of the north and south is only one mile, because it is ten meters higher than the road leading to the east gate, it has become an important barrier outside the east gate.
The highway from Changxing to Zhujia Lane passes by the side of Xiaogangzi.
Seeing that night was approaching, Gui Xuebing raised his head and looked into the distance, looked at the small post opposite, and quietly waited for the brigade commander's call.
After the brigade commander's order was issued, Gui Xuebing's eyes were full of excitement, and he shouted to start, and the mortar company in the regiment immediately opened fire suddenly at Xiaogangzi, and the shells flew towards the positions of the devils and the puppet army with a whistling sound, and in the blink of an eye, the enemy's position was filled with gunsmoke.
As the shelling began, the battalion and company that served as sharp knives, under the command of the company commander, quickly ran out of the latent position and rushed directly to the front of the position.
At the same time, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions, which were responsible for attacking the flanks, also began to attack Xiaogangzi.
After the devil occupied Changxing, he still used his brains about how to defend Changxing. For example, Xiaogangzi, the devil built a clear and dark fort, but after all, there are less than two hundred enemies, and the troops are still stretched to hold this small gangzi.
The puppet soldiers of the two platoons guarding the two bunkers in front of them were already frightened when they saw the shells fired by the New Fourth Army constantly flying and exploding around the bunkers.
The Japanese devils who were in charge of serving as the overseers in the dark fort couldn't help but curse angrily when they saw the puppet army trembling with their guns, and drove these puppet soldiers to get up and prepare for battle.
The artillery shells fired by Gui Xuebing did not destroy many enemies, but they blew up the devil's position in Xiaogangzi, especially the communication trench, which collapsed a lot, so that the fortifications of the forward position and the two larger bunkers on the main position behind were completely separated.
In addition, the barbed wire fence arranged by the devils outside the position was also blown to pieces.
As soon as the artillery bombardment extended, the company, which rushed to the forward position, immediately launched an attack on the position held by the puppet army.
Under the persecution of the devils, more than 30 puppet soldiers just ran out of the dark fort when they saw the New Fourth Army rushing from a distance, and immediately shouted loudly in fright: "Oh no, the New Fourth Army is rushing up." ”
"Bage, howl what, shoot quickly." Seeing that these puppet soldiers were just shouting, the devil was so angry that he opened his mouth and scolded, raised his leg to kick a puppet army over, and ordered the puppet army to quickly rush to the position, preparing to block the New Fourth Army.
