Chapter 249: The End of the 108th Division (2)
This is really fucking bullshit, can these Yanhuang Army escape from the ground? Anyway, he came here, and he came straight to his headquarters, Xia Yuan Xiong Mi felt like a dream, and when he heard these familiar gunshots clearly, he was sure that this was the sound of the Yan Huang Army's standard rifle.
The 108th Division was in trouble, Xia Yuan Xiong Mi only then knew the seriousness of the matter, and sure enough, it wasn't long before he learned that the Yan and Huang Army, which was attacking the city outside, had attacked at the same time from three sides, and now even if he transferred reinforcements, he didn't know which side to transfer, and he knew the consequences of casual transfer, it was likely to lead to the destruction of the city, so many Yan and Huang troops rushed in outside, and the 108 Division really had no hope at all.
At this time, Shimomoto Kummiya finally put down his face and asked Minamijiro for help, but Minamijiro could only tell a white lie and let him hold on, the reinforcements will arrive tomorrow, in fact, there are fart reinforcements, Changchun is so critical, and there is still the heart to take care of this Matsubara who doesn't know where it is, Shimomoto Kumami was directly given up by the Kwantung Army Headquarters, because Minamijiro knew that even if he sent reinforcements to rescue, the final casualties might be greater, what is the point of this?
The brutal battle was fought until dawn, the 108th Division was worthy of being the reserve of the 8th Division of the A Division, and did not disgrace the 8th Division, and desperately killed the Yanhuang Army for one night, and finally, the defenders of the three sides fought and retreated, preparing to fight with the Yanhuang Army in the streets, and the guards of the Xiayuan Xiongmi Command had already been exhausted, and they came out of the headquarters with their staff officers, and as far as the eye could see, all the soldiers of the Yanhuang Army, which was originally what he wanted to fight against the [***] team, but unexpectedly, it was completely reversed, It was said that the headquarters of a division of the Imperial Army was directly terminated.
"Your Excellency Xia Yuan, we, the Yan and Huang Army, respect your choice, if you can lay down your arms, we guarantee your safety, if Xia Yuanjun really wants to be loyal to the emperor, we can also fulfill you, now give your Excellency five minutes to think about it", the translator conveyed the meaning for the first time.
Xia Yuan Xiong Mi slowly glanced at the soldiers of the Yanhuang Army, and said in a language: "It's really a good army, the imperial army has too little understanding of the Yanhuang Army, if you don't recognize this fact, the imperial army will suffer more defeats......"
Xia Yuan Xiong Mi looked sad, there was such an ending, it can be said that he caused it by himself, and now it is too late to regret it, he slowly put the saber on the ground, knelt on the ground on both knees, slowly untied the mouth of his jacket with both hands, and the white shirt was exposed, and the soldiers of the Yan and Huang Army knew his choice.
Soon after, under the gaze of the Yan Huang Army, Xia Yuan Xiong Mi stabbed his saber into his abdomen, fell to the ground and died, and the remaining staff officers, a few of whom accompanied Xia Yuan Xiong Mi, but there were still a few people who did not have the courage to surrender to the Yan Huang Army.
As soon as Xiong Mi died in Xia Yuan, the contact of the army was chaotic, and there was no unified plan, and the three sides of the army fought separately, at this time, some bold Songyuan people also rushed out, and from time to time pointed out the place where the army was hiding for the soldiers of the Yan and Huang Army, and even more daring, they simply picked up a weapon by themselves, and fought against the army, which showed their hatred for the enemy.
For these recalcitrant enemies, Na Yue Song ordered to divide and surround them, and then surrounded them and cut off their supplies. After a period of time, the extreme lack of supplies made some of the Yue troops fall into madness, and they rushed out of the stronghold desperately, ready to look for supplies, but they were fired at by the Yan and Huang troops who had already been waiting for the attack, and all of them died halfway.
In the end, a part of the hungry and weak legs of the army came out and surrendered to the Yan and Huang army, and the morale of the remaining army had fallen to the freezing point, and under the destruction of the heavy armor of the Yan and Huang army, they had no power to fight back, and all of them were destroyed.
At this point, the 108th Division, which had been fighting with the Yanhuang Army for more than half a month, was completely annihilated, and it had only been formed for three months, and it was the shortest-lived division of the Yue Army, and it was also the first division to be wiped out in China.
Suddenly, the whole country and even the whole world knew about this great battle, which made the people cheer and the world shaken, and the base camp was also shocked after knowing the "great" defeat of the 108th Division, so that they would not let the war of aggression against China be greatly affected, and they urgently demanded a victory to change the current situation, so they focused their attention on Shanghai, which was now in a hot fight, and attacked Shanghai for several months. The army's achievements are limited, and they have never achieved an overwhelming advantage, which makes them have a headache.
It seems that we have to change our strategy, and urgently transfer three divisions from China and North Korea to prepare for landing in Hangzhou Bay, make a detour to Shanghai, and cooperate with the army in the Songhu area. At dawn on the 5th, Yanagawa Heisuke, commander of the 10th Army, led the 6th, 18th, and 114th Divisions and the Kunisaki Detachment to suddenly land at Quangongting and Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay, and planned to carry out a roundabout encirclement in response to the Shanghai Dispatch Army.
At that time, most of the defenders on the north shore of Hangzhou Bay had been transferred to the downtown area of Shanghai to fight, and they were caught off guard, and were broken through the defense line by the heavy troops of the Yue army.
In desperation, the Chinese [***] team withdrew from Shanghai in mid-November, and at this point, the Battle of Songhu ended, and the army occupied Shanghai, allowing it to break back into one percent, and the country immediately publicized the battle to overwhelm the great victory achieved by the Yan and Huang armies in the previous days.
With Shanghai lost and Nanjing at hand, some arrogant troops kept clamoring to take the Chinese capital in order to proclaim the absolute strength of the imperial army in Asia, and this request was immediately granted, and the Central China army headed by Matsui Ishine began to march towards Nanjing.
Wei Chendong immediately informed the whole country, saying that the Yan and Huang troops were willing to help [***] defend Nanjing with all their might, and were willing to send 100,000 troops.
For Wei Chendong's request, Chiang Kai-shek considered it again and again, and politely refused, he had several ideas, first, since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the momentum of the Yan and Huang Army has been very strong, and it has begun to slowly overwhelm [***], if even the capital is handed over to the Yan and Huang Army to defend at the moment, then [***] has no face; Second, the Yan and Huang Army has always paid more attention to mobilizing the masses, fighting all the way, there are many people support, which is [***] can not be compared, Jiang Kai-shek is worried that the Yan and Huang Army sent troops from Gansu to Nanjing, along the way, I don't know how many people will be mobilized to support, this is a big taboo, this is to shake the foundation of the national political axe; Third, Chiang Kai-shek was also worried about what would happen if the Yan and Huang armies entered the city of Nanjing and did not leave?
Because of this kind of suspicion, so that Chiang Kai-shek's political axe did not worry about letting the Yan and Huang Army help guard, Wei Chendong learned, his face was abnormal, he didn't expect that at the moment, his old Jiang was still so stubborn, too selfish, he thought that he could make all kinds of concessions to let the [***] team keep Nanjing, but he didn't expect that this old Jiang would not give him this opportunity at all, and finally only one sentence, if the Yan and Huang Army were sincere, there would be hundreds of planes, hundreds of tanks, hundreds of artillery, etc., and they would be handed over to the defenders of Nanjing to defend and ensure that they would hold the city of Nanjing.
In order to express its determination to defend the city of Nanjing, the Nanjing Military Commission appointed Tang Shengzhi as the commander of the Nanjing garrison and led 100,000 defenders to defend Nanjing.
Wei Chendong had no choice but to send 300 planes, 200 field guns and more than 100 tanks from all over the country to reinforce Nanjing.
