Chapter Nine: The Fall of Baoshan (II)
Nanjing, the leader's official residence.
Principal Jiang is splashing ink in the study, the pen is walking dragon snake, seriously speaking, Principal Jiang is not very interested in calligraphy and poetry, if it were not for the fateful opponent in Yan'an has a very high attainment in calligraphy and poetry, Principal Jiang would never waste a little time on this.
Principal Jiang dabbled in calligraphy not so much out of interest as to better understand the opponent in Yan'an.
Because the commander of the lieutenant general division of the Songhu Theater was killed on the Songhu battlefield, President Jiang was in a very good mood today, and in order not to destroy President Jiang's rare good mood, Mrs. Jiang had already suppressed two telegrams sent by the Songhu Theater in a row, but when the Songhu Theater sent a telegram for the third time, Mrs. Jiang no longer dared to continue to withhold the telegrams.
Madame Jiang walked up behind Principal Jiang lightly and said in a low voice, "Darling, Gu Zhutong has called." ”
"Oh?" Principal Jiang happily asked, "Yao Changqing and his battalion were rescued so quickly?" ”
Madame Jiang sighed softly and said gloomily: "Darling, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Gu Zhutong called and said that Baoshan has been lost, and Battalion Commander Yao and the soldiers of the department have ...... All of them were martyred. ”
"Smack." The brush in Principal Jiang's hand suddenly fell, and a large pool of black stains suddenly fell on the plain white rice paper.
"Incompetent!" After a moment of distraction, Principal Jiang suddenly roared angrily, "Gu Zhutong is incompetent!" More than 40 elite divisions of the five group armies can't save a remnant battalion in Baoshan! How did he, the deputy commander-in-chief of the theater of operations, become a commander-in-chief? Niang Xipi, it is simply unreasonable, I will remove him from his post and send him to a military court! ”
"Darling, don't be angry." Madame Jiang softly persuaded, "If they can save it, how can they sit idly by?" ”
After a long while, the expression on Principal Jiang's face softened again, let out a long sigh, and walked back to the desk.
Mrs. Jiang understood, quickly rolled up the ink-soaked rice paper, and spread a new piece of rice paper on the desk, Principal Jiang immediately lifted the wolf's hair, and quickly walked on the paper, Mrs. Jiang helped the paperweight, and read it softly: "The battle of Baoshan, Yao Changqing's battalion held on to the lonely city, although it was in a desperate situation, it still thought of counterattacking, it was a heavy blow to Yue Kou, his ambition was strong, and the fierceness of death was enough to shock the world and cry ghosts and gods!" ”
After writing and throwing the pen, President Jiang sighed gloomily: "The Military Commission posthumously awarded Yao Changqing the title of Major General of the Army, and erected a bronze statue of Yao Chang outside the Guanghua Gate in Nanjing, so as to inspire the fighting spirit of the Chinese people!" ”
…………
Baoshan County.
The eight search teams of the 68th Wing of the Japanese Army conducted several repeated searches of Baoshan Castle, but still found nothing, so Jiro Nishio, who was in charge of the search work, came to the Wing Commander Takamori Takashi Osa, and reported: "Your Excellency, the search teams have repeatedly searched Baoshan Castle and found nothing. ”
Takamori Xiao frowned and said, "Nishio-kun, have you searched it all?" ”
Nishio Jiro said: "Your Excellency, according to your orders, every corner and every inch of land has been searched. ”
Ying Sen Xiao was stunned, and then sighed: "Alas, it seems that we have fallen for that fox again." ”
Nishio Jiro was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly said: "Your Excellency Osa, is it saying that Baoshan is already an empty city?" ”
"It must be so!" Takashi Mori gritted his teeth and said, "Last night, after the small unit of the Chinese army attacked the imperial army station, the Chinese army in Baoshan City must have taken advantage of the chaos to break through!" ”
Nishio Jiro said awe-inspiringly: "Speaking of which, this fox is really cunning, and it has gone away, and it actually lured the imperial army to waste so many shells and aerial bombs!" Your Excellency Dazuo, the existence of such a cunning figure in the Chinese army is not good news for the Imperial Army, is it not immediately reported to the headquarters of the dispatch army and let the people of the special high-tech kill him? ”
Takashi Takamori agreed, "What Nishio-kun said is extremely true, and our inferences should be reported to the headquarters of the Dispatch Army immediately. ”
Nishio Jiro said again: "Your Excellency Osa, is this Baoshan City still going to continue to search?" ”
"There is no need to continue the search, but it is necessary to leave a few secret posts inside the city, and a small team should also be stationed outside the city to prevent any fish from escaping!" Takamori Takashi looked up at the sky, and said to Nishio Jiro, "Nishio-kun, it's not too early, we should also leave for the division headquarters to welcome Your Excellency Yamawaki." ”
…………
Deep underground, Baoshan is authentic.
The tunnel was pitch black, and although you could clearly hear the breathing of others, you couldn't see anyone else's presence at all!
Suddenly, a flashlight lit up in the dark, and in an instant it illuminated the underground space, and I saw more than forty people sitting on the ground with a blank expression, each with a shiny bayonet in their mouths, which was done by Yue Weihan, in order to prevent some unconscious guys from subconsciously making loud noises.
Yue Weihan looked at his pocket watch by the faint light of the flashlight, and said: "Okay, now everyone relax a little, and put down the bayonet in your mouth, but listen well, you can speak quietly, but it is strictly forbidden to make loud noises!" ”
Chi Chengfeng was the first to take off the bayonet in his mouth, spit out thick phlegm again, and muttered in a low voice: "His grandma, this fart is a big place, it's dark and stuffy, and a fart can smoke a litter of people, it's really not a place for people to stay." ”
Yue Weihan turned his head abruptly and said coldly, "Chi Chengfeng, where are you muttering something?" ”
"Ah, no, I didn't say anything." Chi Chengfeng hurriedly whispered, "We just said that we resolutely obey the commander's orders." ”
Yue Weihan snorted, and said to Cao Xinglong: "Da Long, distribute dry food to the brothers, and the brothers listen well, the water in the kettle is all fucking saving a little to drink, although our tunnel is connected to the well, but it is better not to use the well water as much as possible, in case the little devil hears the sound, everyone has to finish playing." ”
Let Yue Weihan say this, the expressions of the defeated soldiers of the forty or so soldiers suddenly became extremely solemn, and most of them only dared to chew dry after receiving the dry food, and they dared to drink a small sip of water if they couldn't swallow it, only Chi Chengfeng's veteran ** didn't take it seriously, and drank all the water in the kettle as soon as he craned his neck.
…………
Yue Weihan and others hid underground and waited for the opportunity to escape, but the battle of Songhu on the ground was still in full swing, and on the next day when Baoshan was lost and Yue Weihan and they turned into the tunnel, that is, on September 6, the 3rd Division of the Yue Army, under the leadership of the new division commander Yamawaki Masataka, launched a fierce offensive against the defense line of the 15th Army.
After fierce fighting until September 10, the defense line of the 15th Army was finally torn open by the Yue Army!
By the 12th of September, the 18th Infantry Wing led by Kaho Ishii, the forward of the 3rd Division of the Chinese Army, had already advanced three kilometers to the south bank of Fuzabin, like a nail deeply penetrated into the defensive depth of the [***] Left Wing Cluster Corps, and the 15th Army and the 19th Group Army to which the Left Wing Corps belonged were about to be divided by the Yue Army.
The situation was in crisis, and the Commander's Department of the Songhu Theater immediately ordered Xia Zhongyu to lead the 98th Division to launch a counterattack!
After fierce fighting until September 14, the 98th Division, after paying the heavy price of more than half of the casualties, finally compressed the remnants of the 18th Wing of the Yue Army more than 1,000 people on a small protruding ground on the south bank of the Fuzao River.
