As the main force for the flank attack on Wuhan, the Japanese Second Army may not have thought that their 13th Division would suffer heavy losses before the battle began, so that their strength was short again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

If you talk about reserves, they can also be replenished by means of rear supplies. Then it will take a long time to replace the new division commander and replenish the heavy artillery of the 13th Division, which has been destroyed.

Originally, in the plan of Minoru Higashikurenomiya, the 13th Division would serve as the main attacking force, and the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, which cooperated with it, would serve as a reserve force. Once the 13th Division's attack was blocked, the 16th Division could come to its aid.

As a result, the plan was not as good as the change, and the 13th Division planted a big heel by the Shi River. Not to mention that the commander of the division was killed, nearly 10,000 elites of the division were also killed. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the 13th Division was undoubtedly greatly reduced.

Even, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the attack on Wuhan, Minoru Higashikunomiya also sent a telegram to the rear to mobilize new troops to supplement the 13th Division. As for replenishing the heavy artillery, I am afraid that it will not be completed at all in a short time.

Recruits can be mobilized from the areas they currently occupy, while heavy artillery will need to be transported from within the country. At least for a short time, it is almost impossible for the heavy artillery wing of the 13th Division to be rebuilt.

In order to ensure the smooth attack of the 16th Division, and at the same time annihilate the elite of the 5th Theater responsible for blocking as much as possible. Minoru Higashikuremiya was also very concerned about the progress of the 10th Division, and hoped that they could cut off the retreat of the Central Army as soon as possible.

Even if the encirclement cannot be completed, as long as the 10th Division takes Huangchuan, Minoru Higashikurenomiya believes that the 71st Army, which is blocking at Fujin Mountain at this moment, will inevitably retreat on all fronts. At that time, the 16th Division could take advantage of the victory to pursue and capture the entire territory of Xinyang in one fell swoop.

It's just that to Minoru Higashikuremiya's surprise, the military radio station, which was still in contact with the 10th Division from time to time in the afternoon, suddenly found that it had lost contact with the radio station of the 10th Division. This situation did make him feel a little worried.

Watching the time pass little by little, the radio station that has been making calls has never been answered. This made Minoru Higashikunomiya a little worried: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the 10th Division?" ”

Faced with such worries, the chief of staff of the military department shook his head and said, "General, this situation should be unlikely!" Although it is not known for the time being why there was a problem with the radio of the 10th Division, there was only one local garrison brigade there.

With the combat effectiveness of the 10th Division, it should not be a problem at all to take the garrison brigade in that place. As for the loss of radio contact, maybe something happened. Wait for tomorrow to send planes to reconnoitre, maybe everything will be clear. ”

Listening to the words of the chief of staff, Minoru Higashikurenomiya was still a little worried: "It stands to reason that this situation should not happen. However, the combat effectiveness of the 10th Division is still very strong, and it should be difficult to make them suffer.

As far as we know about the strength of the enemy's forces, they should not be able to draw too many troops. But no matter what, the matter of the radio station disappearance must be investigated carefully at that time. Let the radio call once an hour, and report the message immediately. ”

'Yes, General! ’

The result was natural, as the 10th Division was completely annihilated. The newly appointed division commander Yoshio Shinozuka also turned into a water ghost, and after several days of fighting, he finally achieved complete success.

But at this time, the two main divisions of the 67th Army outside Huaibin City still had no time to rest. Even the garrison brigade in Huaibin seemed to be in a bit of a mood at the moment. But every surviving officer and soldier felt very excited.

Although the victory in this battle has nothing to do with them. But to experience such a battle of encircling and annihilating the Japanese division, the soldiers of every garrison brigade felt very honored. At the same time, the strong strength of the Eighth Route Army was also seen.

Even the Central Army faced the main force of the Japanese divisions and regiments, and many times had to retreat. can be replaced by the Eighth Route Army, and in less than one night, a Japanese division was completely annihilated. This kind of combat effectiveness really shocked them.

Liu Nuoshan, who had already seen He Zhengdao and Luo Ruiqing, also felt a little uneasy about the previous conversation with He Zhengdao. He knew very well that He Zhengdao agreed to ask for credit for him, and he also hoped to win him over.

For a garrison brigade commander who was born in the Central Army, Liu Nuosheng undoubtedly said that he was born in the Central Army. It's just that after so many years in the military, some bad habits in the Central Army also make him a little discouraged.

However, tonight, the difference shown by the Eighth Route Army made Liu Nuosheng really feel the strength of the Eighth Route Army. In addition, the attitude of the Eighth Route Army towards him still made Liu Nuosheng feel very moved.

In fact, after tonight's battle, don't talk about him, the commander of the garrison brigade. Among the officers and men of the entire garrison brigade, a large part of them had a favorable impression of the Eighth Route Army. Especially those wounded, I am afraid that they will be grateful to the Eighth Route Army in the future.

After all, as a garrison brigade, they also have hygienists. But some of the medicines they have in stock are simply not enough to cope with such a big battle. Upon learning of this news, He Zhengdao generously agreed to provide a batch of medicines.

In addition, military doctors from the military department were even dispatched to perform operations or treat those wounded. This kind of respect really touched Liu Nuosheng very much. Even if He Zhengdao didn't say anything, Liu Nuosheng knew that this favor had to be repaid.

At this moment, the main battalion of the Eighth Route Army, which is still stationed in the city, still takes over the defense of Huaibin City and the radio station of the garrison brigade. But the command of Huaibin City, He Zhengdao was directly handed over to Liu Nuosheng to be responsible.

In the words of He Zhengdao: "Brigade Commander Liu, although this time our two armies cooperated to eliminate the 10th Division of the Japanese Army. But you should know that the little devil's vindictiveness is still very strong. I hope that from tomorrow onwards you will try to be as hidden as possible.

In addition to this, also be careful of the Japanese troops coming from the direction of Anhui. Once the Japanese army sends troops to attack Huaibin again, you will need to protect the peace of the people. Here, I won't leave too many troops.

Of course, I also hope that in the future, when these units of mine are operating in Huaibin, we will continue to maintain this kind of friendly cooperative and anti-Japanese war relationship. In the future, if Brigade Commander Liu needs anything, we will also provide help within our ability. ”

From He Zhengdao's words, it is not difficult for Liu Nuosheng to hear. This time, the main force of the Eighth Route Army will leave, but in the territory of Huaibin, some troops will remain. What these troops are doing in Huaibin, think about it, they actually know.

Judging from the current situation, perhaps the Central Army will not give an order for Liu Nuosheng to clear the Eighth Route Army operating within its borders. But what about the future? Can the grievances between the two parties really be put aside?

Liu Nuosheng, who was in a tangled mentality, could only say in the end: "What do you want to do so much?" If it weren't for the Eighth Route Army this time, Lao Tzu probably wouldn't even be able to survive. It's better to think about it later! ”

In fact, after this coordinated operation, Liu Nuosheng already knew the combat strength of the Eighth Route Army. To put it mildly, this time they garrisoned the brigade, and it seemed that there were many casualties. But he knew it was already a rarity.

If they really let them garrison the brigade and face an entire Japanese division alone, they are afraid that they will not be able to hold it even for an afternoon. Not to mention, they also preserved nearly seventy percent of their combat effectiveness, and they also captured a batch of weapons and equipment of little devils!

With this batch of weapons and equipment, Liu Nuosheng believed that his garrison brigade should not have a problem forming a real main force regiment by then. As long as the troops are tempered, I believe that whether it is in the Eighth Route Army or the Central Army, he will have a certain weight.

As for Liu Nuosheng's tangled mentality, He Zhengdao naturally didn't pay too much attention to it. After the troops began to clean up the battlefield and arranged for the troops left behind. He Zhengdao looked at the still unlit sky, and decisively ordered the troops to start moving in the direction of Gushi.

After the troops began to set off, Luo Ruiqing wrote a telegram signed by He Zhengdao, which was soon transmitted to the war rooms of Shaanxi and the Fifth War Zone. And the sending of this telegram also woke up many people.

When the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army received this telegram, Zuo Quan, who had already rested, was quickly woken up. Looking at the telegraph operator with an excited face, Zuo Quan was overjoyed and immediately said: "The telegram of the independent column? ”

Even if the independent column was reorganized into the new 67th Army, in the mouths of many generals of the Eighth Route Army, they still like to refer to the new 67th Army as an independent column. After all, within the Eighth Route Army, the establishment of independent columns has not been canceled.

'Yes, Chief of Staff! The telegram that had just been sent to Commander He and them completely annihilated the 10th Division of the Japanese army. What a victory! ’

As soon as he heard this, Zuo Quan's heart was shocked, and he quickly took the translated telegram and checked it. After half a ring, he also said with emotion: "Incredible! With only two main divisions and a reconnaissance brigade, all the little devils were wiped out. ”

After saying this, Zuo Quan personally took the telegram and woke up Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng together. Upon learning of this situation, the two chief and deputy commanders of the Eighth Route Army also seemed very happy. At the same time, he also sighed that He Zhengdao is really the nemesis of the Japanese army!

Mr. Peng, who was holding the telegram, also smiled and said: "Commander-in-chief, if we have ten main divisions, each of them can be like an independent column." It is estimated that it will not be long before the little devil will be killed by us. Another division, more than 20,000 little devils! ”

Judging from the current situation, our other main divisions may have such combat effectiveness. But if you really want to defend it hard, it is estimated that a main division will deal with a Japanese division, and this main division will also fight out.

This kid has a good fighting brain, and then he has a strong reconnaissance unit in his hand, and he always expects the enemy to be ahead of the curve. Under the surprise victory, it is actually normal to annihilate the half-crippled division of the Japanese army. ’

Just as Mr. Zhu said, the reconnaissance brigade in He Zhengdao's hands has indeed played a great role in every operation. With the addition of two ace main divisions, it is normal to be able to completely annihilate a 10th Division with a strength of just over 20,000.

If other main divisions that are now in enemy-occupied areas and continue to expand their base areas really want to pull out and encircle and annihilate a Japanese division, I believe it will still be possible. But if you want to win so cleanly, maybe it's not so easy! (To be continued.) )
