Chapter 616: Luxi
Yanzhou, the headquarters of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, and the combat staff officer of the Second Army of the Japanese Army in North China, Okamoto Fukiyo, who was entrusted by the commander Nishio Temple to assist Ryosuke Isoya in commanding the Taierzhuang operation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When he came, Ryosuke Isoya was preparing to personally lead the team to the front line of Taierzhuang.
Ryosuke Isoya was very dissatisfied with Kei Seya's command, believing that Kei Seya was releasing his troops little by little in command, which was a tactic to add fuel and was regarded as a taboo for soldiers.
The correct approach should be to press all the forces at once and crush the enemy with absolute strength.
Therefore, he planned to personally go to supervise Seya Kai, and from personally escorting a batch of baggage supplies, the combat consumption of these days is a huge number.
Due to the serious damage to the roads and the long stretching of the battle line, the supply lines of the Japanese army were cut off from time to time by the troops behind the enemy lines of the GJ and the guerrillas, and the ammunition supply of the Seya detachment could no longer keep up.
The intelligence shows that the Chinese side continues to transfer troops to the Xuzhou area, and the Seya detachment is likely to fall into a heavy encirclement, which is also what Isoya Ryosuke is worried about.
There were not many troops available to Ryosuke Isoya, and the division headquarters of the 10th Division was only stationed in Yanzhou City, and with the addition of the division headquarters, the Japanese army in the entire Yanzhou City did not exceed 2,500 people.
Yanzhou City is very empty!
"Isogu-kun, there have been some changes in the battle situation in Xuzhou, and we know through our many channels that the Jiang government in Wuhan wants to fight a big decisive battle with us in Xuzhou, and from the current trend of the war, it is very likely."
"The decisive battle, haha, it's ridiculous, just with these people, they are not the opponents of the Great Japanese Empire at all!" Ryosuke Isoya laughed maniacally, "Okamoto-kun is too worried. ”
"There is an old saying in China: ants bite elephants to death, the Seya detachment is lonely, the troops are thin, and there is no foreign aid, once they catch the fighter, the consequences are still unimaginable."
"The Seya detachment commands the most elite troops of my 10th Division, not to mention that one imperial soldier can reach ten Shina soldiers, and the Seya detachment has 20,000 people, even if there are 200,000 Shina troops, they may not be able to do anything, besides, if the Shina people really plan to fight the empire in Xuzhou, this is a good thing, right, Okamoto-kun?"
"Yes, but the time is too tight, and the domestic troops may not be able to come over immediately, but the Kwantung Army has withdrawn two brigades to enter the customs to support, and it is expected to arrive in Jinan in three days!"
"Oh, that's great!" When Ryosuke Isoya heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"These two independent mixed brigades can only send one to strengthen your troops, and the other has other arrangements!" Fukiyo Okamoto explained.
Ryosuke Isoya nodded.
"I'm here this time to convey Commander Nishio's orders." Kiyofuku Okamoto Masashimichi.
"Please!"
Fukiyoshi Okamoto personally took the map and spread it out on the coffee table,
"If the Segu detachment can't conquer Taierzhuang immediately, it might as well maintain the current offensive first, and the main force will go east to capture Lanling and Tancheng, or attack in the direction of Chahe Town and capture Xin'an Town......"
"Isn't that front longer?"
"Guarding Taierzhuang is the elite new 38 Brigade of the Zhina Army, the predecessor of this brigade is the Teaching Corps of the Zhina Army, he is from the same source as the honorary division of the Zhina Army, not only the quality of the soldiers is first-class, the weapons and equipment are also the best in the Zhina Army, with more than 10,000 troops, if you really want to burn the jade in Taierzhuang, my army may have to pay a great price of casualties to take it!" When Fukiyo Okamoto came, he had done his homework and had a detailed understanding of the achievements of the new 38th Brigade.
Ryosuke Isoya frowned disapprerovingly, obviously, he thought that Kiyofuku Okamoto was alarmist, but after all, the other party was the operational staff officer of the Second Army, and he was not easy to attack.
"Isogu Army, will the Seya Detachment temporarily give up the capture of Taierzhuang, and instead go east to cooperate with the Sakamoto Detachment of the Fifth Division to capture Linyi, and after the two armies meet, then attack Taierzhuang?"
"That's what that guy from Sakagaki thinks, right?"
"His Excellency Lieutenant General Sakagaki will soon take up the post of Director of Education, this is indeed his suggestion, and Commander Nishio feels that this is a strategy to solve the current dilemma!"
"The news of our army's capture of Taierzhuang has spread in Tokyo, if the attack on Taierzhuang is postponed at this time, then we will be suspected of deceiving the base camp, when the time comes, how should I explain to the commander of the temple and the base camp?" Ryosuke Isoya said angrily.
Obviously, he didn't agree with this plan, which was tantamount to giving the credit to Seishiro Sakagaki equally, so that he could add an additional merit before he could fulfill it in Tokyo again.
"Isoya-kun, you don't need the entire Seya detachment to maintain the attack on Taierzhuang, right?"
"According to intelligence, the elite 20th Army Corps of the Zhina Army has entered the Xuzhou battlefield, but we have not been able to find its main force, before, in the area of Guoliji east of Zaozhuang, the Chichai Wing fought with a Zhina Army, and learned by capturing the prisoners of the other side that this force is a division under the 20th Army Corps, but the main position is still nothing."
"So, the main force of the Shina people has already moved behind the side of the Seya detachment?" Fukiyo Okamoto was taken aback.
"It's not clear, but there's nothing special to be found at the moment, so why didn't they launch an attack if their main force had already moved behind the flank of the Seya detachment?" Ryosuke Isoya shook his head.
"What is Seya-kun's analysis?"
"Seya-kun's analysis, there is indeed a branch of the Chinese Army interspersed with his flanks, but the number of this army is not large, at most it is the size of a division of the Chinese Army, in terms of the equipment of the Chinese Army, a division is almost worth one of our brigades, so it is not enough to be troubled, this is very likely to be the suspicious formation of the Zhina people, but he is not sure, so he does not dare to let go of the attack on Taierzhuang."
"What about your judgment?"
"The so-called 20th Army Corps of the China Army may have already left for Xuzhou, but it is very likely that it is only a part of it, and the China people have taken advantage of this to set up a suspicious formation, so that they can delay time and let them mobilize and deploy more troops and horses."
"That is to say, the Zhina Army intends to fight a decisive battle with us in the Xuzhou area, why don't we just plan it?" Fukiyo Okamoto reminded.
Ryosuke Isoya understands what Okamoto wants to say, Sakagaki is rising, this is already ironclad, although he doesn't need to slap the other party, but it doesn't hurt to show favor at this time.
"Okay, I'm about to go to the front line of Taierzhuang, if I can join forces with the Fifth Division, I will have a greater chance of capturing Xuzhou!" Ryosuke Isoya agreed.
"Kiyofuku Okamoto congratulates Isoya-kun Kankai!" Kiyofuku Okamoto stood up and bowed deeply to Ryosuke Isoya.
"Thank you Okamoto-kun!"
Is it really a suspicious formation, this belief of Kei Seya, who is at the forefront, has been shaken, according to the information obtained by the reconnaissance detachment sent by the Japanese army.
In the mountainous area to the northeast of Zaozhuang, there are traces of military activity, and judging from the scale of the stampede, there are tens of thousands of people.
Was it made on purpose, or were there really tens of thousands of people hiding in the mountains?
Kei Seya feels a little numb on her scalp!
Most of the troops in his hands have been sent, mainly in the direction of Taierzhuang, in order to maintain an overwhelming advantage, he keeps filling in the troops!
Most of the troops of the Seya detachment were put over there, engaged the Chinese army, and the battle situation was stalemate, and the dogs and teeth were staggered, and they could not retreat at all.
In addition to this, there are also vigilant troops, all of which are sent out.
It's easy to let it out, but it's hard to take it back!
The battle in Taierzhuang continued, the Japanese army's death squads continued to impact, kept falling, and there were more and more corpses, and then every once in a while, everyone would send people to carry the white flag up and carry down the robes of their sacrificed soldiers.
The casualties are increasing, and Taierzhuang has long been a Shura field.
Luo Yufeng gritted his teeth. Hold on, the fire of revenge in your heart is burning, if it weren't for the overall situation, why would the new 38th Brigade need to make such a huge sacrifice?
Furong Zhenping, who was in command on the front line of Taierzhuang, would also have red eyes, puffy cheeks, and a pair of dead fish eyes staring at the location of Taierzhuang on the map.
It's the ninth day!
Taierzhuang must be taken down, he must make meritorious service, and His Majesty the Emperor will be awarded the medal, and he must get what he wants!
"Organize death squads, charge me, charge ......"
"Hay!"
"Your Excellency Dazuo, the brigade commander is in an emergency......
"Bastard, Yaga ......" Fukuei Mahei rushed out like a bull in heat.
Luxi, Golden Township.
Third Army, headquarters of the 74th Division.
In the headquarters, Sun Yinting, who was thin and thin, sat on a Taishi chair, holding a dry tobacco pouch in his hand, smoking a hat in his mouth, his skin was dark, and he looked full of ditches. If he weren't wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, he would look similar to an old farmer in the countryside.
The 10th Division of the Japanese Army moved south along the Jinpu Road, and the 115th Infantry Wing of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in the Jining area was also ready to move.
The Third Army suffered heavy casualties in previous battles, lost the important town of Jinan, the capital of Shandong, the commander-in-chief of the group army was arrested and shot, and the morale of the troops was low.
The troops retreated all the way to Cao County, this is really no way to retreat, and they can't retreat to the first war zone, right? Only then did he settle down in Cao County.
Yu Xiaohou served as the commander-in-chief, but he was not from the old Northwest Army, and his troops were fighting with the Japanese army in Huaixi, so they had no time to run the military and political affairs of the Third Army, so the military and political affairs of the Third Army were all managed by Sun Yinting, so Shangfeng directly dismissed Yu Xiaohou from the post of commander-in-chief of the Third Army and let Sun Yinting serve as the acting commander!
After Han Xiangfang's death, the provincial government was scattered, Shen Chengzhang took the opportunity to seize military and political power, and the Third Army was also full of contradictions, especially the contradiction between Gu Jingxuan, the commander of the 56th Army, and Cao Leshan, the commander of the 55th Army, broke out after Han Xiangfang was shot, and almost caused a mutiny.
Gu Jingxuan was forced to disband the 56th Army and went to Wuhan to serve as an idle senator, the 22nd Division was merged into the 12th Army, the 74th Division was assigned to the 55th Army, and the pistol brigade that originally belonged to the 55th Army was divided out separately and was thrown behind enemy lines in Jinan to fight guerrillas.
In this way, it seems that the strength of the 12th Army has risen sharply, but in fact, after months of hard fighting, the strength of the 12th Army is much worse than before the war.
Looking at the meaning of Shangfeng, it is estimated that they will be used as cannon fodder, and then fend for themselves.
Now the whole country knows that Han Xiangfang and his Third Army lost a large area of Shandong without letting go of a single shot, passively resisting Japan, and there were a lot of desertions, often several, more than a dozen.
If it weren't for the stabilization of Cao County, the troops fought several battles, and even regained Jining for a time, the troops would have stabilized and there would have been fewer deserters.
But if you want to restore the situation before the war, you may not be able to do it in a short time.
"Junza!"
"Dai Junza." Sun Yinting put down the cigarette pouch in his hand and said to his adjutant general, Sun Zhongtian, "How is the battle going?" ”
"Report to Dai Junzuo, the Japanese army really entered the army, our army took advantage of the victory to pursue, and more than 100 Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded in this battle!" Sun Zhongtian reported excitedly.
"Okay, in a short time, the Japanese army should not attack Yutai, but be careful!" Sun Yinting nodded, "Let Li Hanzhang, the commander of the 74th Division, come to see me." ”
"Yes, Dai Junza!"
Although the 74th Division was merged into the 55th Army, it did not go to the east of Tengxian County with Cao Leshan to fight guerrillas and harass the Japanese army's supply lines, but stayed in Luxi and temporarily returned to his dispatch to garrison Yutai and Jinxiang to prevent the Japanese army in Jining from attacking Xuzhou from Luxi.
Sun Yinting came to inspect the defense of Jinxiang, and happened to encounter the Japanese army attacking from Jiaxiang to the south, and the 74th who received the secret report was to set up an ambush in Wuzhai Mountain, and the Japanese army had no place to ambush, and suffered heavy casualties.
However, he was not happy at all when he received the news of the victory, the Japanese army was very cruel, he was worried that this would cause the Japanese army to retaliate frantically, and the previous victories had similar situations, and the people did not understand, and even thought that it was the GJ's resistance that brought them disaster.
Some traitor organizations even advocate and propagate demagogic things such as "the royal paradise" and "East Asian co-prosperity", what kind of Taoism, loyalty and filial piety......
These traitor organizations have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the degree of harm is so great that it has seriously endangered the Third Army's anti-Japanese war in Luxi.
Also, it was the telegram he had just received from the Fifth War Zone, Wuhan decided to set up the Luxi Corps, and the commander of the corps was due to the position of Xiaohou, and he had no opinion on this, and the commander of the Third Army was originally Yu Xiaohou, but Yu Xiaohou lacked skills, so he acted as the commander.
But Leng Feng, the chief of staff of the Luxi Corps, is a little confused, how did this hairy boy come out of nowhere, why did he suddenly sit in the position of chief of staff? also served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, didn't this put our old grandson in the air?
This old Sun really didn't associate Leng Feng with the honorary commander of the first division, and it seemed that the two people who couldn't hit with eight strokes would actually be the same person.
The number of words in this telegram is to save it, so it does not explain Leng Feng's title and identity clearly, and it is normal for Lao Sun to not think of it for a while.
