Chapter 44: The Master of Chaos (Part II)
On the highway leading from Yangzhou to Yizheng, the Shigeto detachment was withdrawn by Empress Zhengcang.
At this time, the Shigetsu detachment, both in terms of military appearance and momentum, can no longer be compared with when they came, although the news of the Tashiro Wing's jade shattering was tightly sealed, but people with a little brains can easily guess what happened, if it wasn't for the Tashiro Wing being raided by the Shina Army, how could the Shigeto Detachment come to reinforcements in the middle of the night?
And now, the Shigeto detachment hastily retreated without even seeing the shadow of the Tashiro wing.
What does this mean? This can only show that something has happened to the Tashiro United, and it is even likely that all the jade has been shattered!
Even such an elite field wing as the Tashiro Wing was collectively shattered, so how many troops should the Zhina Army besieging them have? And how powerful should it be? If this group of troops catches up, and the Shigeto detachment is desperate for food and ammunition, then how can this battle be fought? Soon, an atmosphere of panic spread throughout the detachment.
If it is replaced by the most elite field division in the battle sequence of the Japanese army, the mood of the troops will not be affected by external factors, to put it mildly, unless it is a major earth-shattering change such as the fall of Tokyo and the death of the emperor, those field divisions and regiments of the Japanese army will never lose the will to fight, even if only bayonets are left, they will stubbornly resist to the end!
Halfway through, a huge convoy suddenly appeared on the road behind the Shigeto detachment!
At least fifty trucks had already passed through the dense woods behind them, and were moving along the road, with a few infantry running on either side, and the distance of this huge convoy was at most seven or eight miles away from the rearguard of the Shigeto detachment.
Suddenly, the entire Shigedo detachment began to stir.
Now, even the most idiotic soldier knows that it will never be the Tashiro Wing that will catch up behind, nor will it be other Imperial Army troops, but only the Shina Army!
"The people of China!"
"The people of China have caught up?"
"These damn Shina people, they're coming so fast!"
When Shigeto Chiaki stepped out of the armored car, the entire detachment's marching column was already extremely chaotic, and the 4th Infantry Brigade, which was at the end, had already rushed up and squeezed together with the 1st Brigade in the middle.
"Yagayalu." Shigedo Chiaki suddenly turned blue with anger, and roared angrily, "Die, die, die!" ”
As soon as Chiaki Shigedo gave the order, the gendarmerie directly under him pounced on those Taiwanese soldiers with bayonets, all of whom were from the native territory, and they would not have any mercy on the Taiwanese who had not been subdued for a long time.
This hand really worked, and those Taiwanese defeated soldiers really did not dare to squeeze forward any longer.
Only then did Chiaki Shigeto suddenly draw his saber and roared angrily: "Block, build a defense line on the spot, and prepare to block!" ”
Chiaki Shigeto will be sent to Taiwan by the General Staff of the Chinese Army to be the commander of the garrison brigade, which shows that his ability is also quite limited, but no matter how stupid he is, he knows that he must not retreat at this time, if he continues to retreat, this group of Taiwanese natives is only afraid that they will collapse immediately, and only by blocking on the spot can they reverse the situation.
There is still a maximum of an hour before dawn, and as long as we survive this most difficult period, the situation will immediately change when the bomber group of the air force directly under the Front arrives.
However, it was impossible for Yue Weihan to give him such a chance again.
Just when a convoy of more than 50 trucks passed through the woods and appeared in the field of vision of the Yue army, the two sharp knife companies led by Yue Weihan and Liu Yi had already detoured back to the front of the Shito detachment from both sides, and Cao Xinglong's 1st Battalion and Chi Chengfeng's 2nd Battalion had also moved the two wings of the Chongdo detachment.
Most of the rest of the battalions have also approached within five miles of the Shigetsu detachment under the cover of night, but after a long and rapid march, the formation of each battalion and each company has been out of order, fortunately, before the departure, Yue Weihan has already done mobilization, don't be afraid to run out of order, if it is chaotic, it will be fought indiscriminately, each battalion and each company will fight its own one, and then talk about it after the fight!
As for the huge convoy marching on the road in the rear, it was actually just an empty shelf, on which in addition to the intercepted baggage, also carried the regimental artillery battalion and the heavy machine gun company.
Here, Yue Weihan imitated the classic tactics of General Lin to chase and annihilate Liao Yaoxiang's Ninth Corps during the Liaoshen Campaign.
Chiaki Shigeto finally stopped the chaos, and just ordered to build a defensive line on the spot to block the pursuers, when dense gunfire suddenly rang out on both sides of the road and behind the side, and what was even more incredible was that there was also a trace of the Shina Army in front, and the avant-garde troops of the detachment seemed to be on fire with the Shina Army.
"Yaga!" Chiaki Shigeto was shocked and said, "Where did the Shina people come from?" ”
The chief of staff of the detachment, Miyamoto Hikochi, still had some eyesight, and said angrily: "Your Excellency General, we have been fooled, the Zhina convoy on the road behind is just an illusion to confuse us, in fact, the Zhina Army has already secretly moved to our front and two wings, and we have already fallen into encirclement!" ”
"Command!" Chiaki Shigeto roared hoarsely, "All wings immediately shrink to the detachment headquarters!" ”
"Your Excellency, General, it's too late." Miyamoto shook his head and said gloomily, "The troops are already in chaos. ”
Shigeto Chiaki hurriedly looked around, and sure enough, he saw that the entire detachment had become a pot of porridge again, due to the congestion of the main road, many infantry grabbed the road and fled in all directions, so far, Shigeto Chiaki also knew that it was impossible to gather the troops again, and now the only option was to break through separately!
"Order, all parts of the head break through, after dawn to the ceremony to collect the knot!"
After saying that, Chiaki Shigeto bent down and got into the armored car, and as soon as the chief of staff, Miyamoto Hiko, got into the car, he angrily yelled at the driver: "Open the road, open the road!" ”
…………
7 a.m.
Under the guidance of two combat reconnaissance planes, six transport planes and four bombers of the air force directly under the Central China Front flew over Yangzhou on time.
As early as yesterday evening, the headquarters of the Central China Front received a telegram from the 13th Division and the Shigeto Detachment requesting the airdrop of ammunition; in the middle of last night, more than 10 tons of ammunition and six transport planes were ready, and just after 6 o'clock in the morning, the eastern sky had just revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the six transport planes were fully loaded with more than 10 tons of ammunition.
Soon, the reconnaissance plane in charge of the guidance spotted the Shigeto detachment on the road.
However, after the military reconnaissance plane lowered its flight altitude, the pilot was immediately dumbfounded.
Because the Shigeto detachment has been completely mixed with the Chinese army, the two armies are holding each other and fighting and retreating, there are people everywhere, there is an exchange of fire everywhere, and the whole scene has completely become a pot of porridge, in this case, let alone air-dropped ammunition or throwing aerial bombs, even if you want to hit a few shuttle machine guns, you have to be afraid of hurting your own people.
