Chapter 467: The Alliance Under the City (9)
Although Yang Xiaoou defected to Wu Xiaoliang halfway, but after several major battles, it was on par with small Japan, although the strength of the Second Army was inferior to that of the 57th Division, and it almost collapsed at the most critical moment in Changshu, but finally stabilized the defensive line, which made him feel proud as the commander of the Second Army, that is, in this time and again in the big and small battles with the Japanese army, he seemed to have tasted a sense of belonging that he had never had before.
Wu Xiaoliang's insistence on fighting against Japan was almost unreasonable stubbornness, and although it was difficult to understand, he still carried it out to the letter, and at the same time, the morale of the Second Army was also rising unprecedentedly, just two days earlier, they had successfully annihilated an aggressive brigade of the Japanese army, and they were obviously more willing to accept this order than Yang Xiaoou, the army commander.
Wu Xiaoliang and Yang Xiaoou didn't know that just when they were preparing to fight a surprise counterattack, the three Japanese divisions of the 6th Qiyakou Deng also decided to unite to attack the fortified charge, due to the disappearance of the supreme commander of the 6th Army, Shirakawa Yoshinori, they had been in a state of no command for a long time, so the starting person of this battle plan was Lieutenant General Naoliang Matsuki, the commander of the 14th Division, the oldest of the three division commanders, to take the lead, while the other two division commanders had no objection and fully cooperated.
In fact, Lieutenant General Matsuki Naoliang's plan is very simple, after several days of fierce fighting, he has a clue, although the combat effectiveness of the army in front of him is not weak, but the morale is difficult to last, once the war is stalemate, it is easy to be discouraged, therefore, he designed a plan for an uninterrupted attack, by the three divisions to choose two points for uninterrupted day and night attack, the strength of the Imperial 6th Army is far above the Chinese army, so this time they took out the tenacity to attack the fortress, assault the Chinese defense line, there is no reason not to break.
Of course, this is not without drawbacks, casualties are a problem, but they forced them to do their best to break their predicament in the battlefield of China, the Kwantung Army in the northeast occupied the three eastern provinces with only one division of troops, the North China Dispatch Army in Pingjin also besieged Zhang Xueliang, commander of the Northeast Army, in the city of Beiping, and even He Yingqin, chief of the general staff of the National Revolutionary Army in Nanjing, flew to Beiping to negotiate with him.
And the strength of their three divisions is still difficult to advance near 6 o'clock, which makes them still have the face to sit and wait for the opportunity, the three of them almost hit it off, and the commander of the seventh division, Hatsutaro Haraguchi, even patted his chest and assured, asking himself to be responsible for a little alone, these days he has served as the reserve of the 14th division, and it is not the turn of the opportunity to go into battle, so he is naturally anxious, jumping up and down.
"Your Excellency Matsuki, the Seventh Division has been itching for a long time, so leave the left flank to us."
Matsuki nodded and happily agreed, this time he would not refuse, he would not hesitate to pay the defense line of the general of Dongchuan Daishina.
As for the 7th Division, because it had to assist in the counterattack of the 57th Division, it tightly sent a wing to join the strong attack on the Fifth Army, and the wing commander of this wing was still an old acquaintance of Wu Xiaoliang, Miyake Koji, who had been captured by Wu Xiaoliang in the Suidong defensive battle.
According to the unwritten rules of the Japanese 6th Army, an army general like Miyake Mitsuji, who had been captured, was no longer qualified to be the chief officer of the army, but Miyake was too good back then, and was known as the flower of the famous generals of the 6th Army of the Imperial Kingdom.
It's just that Miyake Koji at this moment is no longer the flower of the famous generals of the year, and now he is just an ordinary Osa Wing Captain who belongs to the Hiroshima Division, and the Fifth Division is also known as the Hiroshima Division, which is not only one of the seventeen standing divisions of the Japanese 6th Army, but also one of the six divisions that have existed in the Meiji era, and has been one of the six divisions formed by the Six Towns and Platforms, and has made great achievements in the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War.
Let Miyake Mitsuji return to the military in such a prestigious division, which shows that the bigwigs in the military department still have high hopes for him, so when the division commander Terauchi Shouichi decided to send only one wing to participate in the attack on the Changshu defense line, he did not hesitate to take the initiative to ask.
This is a crucial battle after his comeback from the military world after ten years of dormancy, and whether he can be disgraced before he can be defeated is a battle here.
Miyake Koji tightened the belt around his waist, and an officer Osa's command knife hanging from his waist made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and he knocked off a piece of dirt from the tip of his riding boots, grabbed the saddle and stepped on the horse.
"Out."
The pride in the heart of the famous general's flower is extremely disdainful of such a dull tactic of Matsuki Naoliang, such a battle plan without technical content, even if he wins the Imperial 6th Army, he will pay a heavy price.
The main force of the Fifth Army of China is mostly deployed in the area of Dongjiaqiao in Hejiabang, and he has specialized in studying the defensive tactics of China, which is also extremely rigid, as long as a division with extremely strong power is sent to penetrate into its rear and cut off its rear road, the heart of the China Army will inevitably be in chaos, and its frontal defense line will inevitably collapse at that time.
Miyake Mitsuji wanted to be this extremely powerful partial division, because he led the 41st Cavalry Wing of the Fifth Division, which was also a wing with outstanding achievements, and they could not hide their excitement when they heard that they would go deep behind the enemy lines in China and make a small surprise attack.
However, before leaving, he got an important piece of information, the headquarters of Wu Xiaoliang, the commander of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison, was originally in Changshu City, and at the most critical moment a few days ago, in order to inspire the soldiers to fight bravely, he even moved the headquarters to Sujiahuang in the east of the city, which is already very close to the front line, but it is a pity that Wu Xiaoliang's staff officers are too careless, and there was such a big mistake in the layout of the defense line, which also just gave him the opportunity to be ashamed.
It's been ten years, General China, who will die this time, it depends on tonight.
The east had turned white, and the vast majority of the cavalry had rolled up the sky of smoke and dust and headed straight for the west, while the vast majority of the soldiers on the Chinese positions were still basking in the aftertaste of the previous night's sweet dreams.
Miyake Koji grabbed the reins of the horse, his legs clamped the horse's belly, this is his road to shame, ten years of dormancy, black and white, the youngest general of the imperial kingdom has already become a laughing stock in the military circles, and he will regain all these losses tonight.
Ten miles east of Changshu County, Sujiazhuan, the guards and soldiers of the garrison headquarters began to change their guards as usual, and the soldiers who stood all night on guard were already tired and angry, and suddenly ......
