Chapter 200

The battle of Qingdao seems to be still raging, but in fact it is nearing its end. Last night, the Japanese army that broke through the siege sent a telegram to the country, reporting the details and process of the entire battle of Pingdu. When the Japanese army rushed to the Dawang Bridge, all hopes were dashed. Two divisions of the first division waited here, greeting the arrival of the Japanese army with the heaviest artillery fire. The Japanese army, which no longer had any heavy weapons, would not be able to break through at all, let alone that the Japanese army at this time had no fighting spirit.

The Japanese army, which was completely in despair, burst out with amazing energy at this time. The chief of staff who led the team ordered the flag to be burned, and the troops launched a decisive assault on the positions of the Chinese army, rushing out one by one.

In the morning, the last 75-caliber field artillery and mountain artillery of the Japanese army were suppressed by the artillery fire of the squadron, and all the shells were fired up at any cost. A decisive assault ensued. This kind of lethal style of play, the Wehrmacht is not psychologically prepared, Gao Sheng is a little better, when he was teaching the team, he was instilled with some madness of the Japanese army by Marshal Fang all day long, and the defense organization is very layered. Ouyang Wu was in trouble, and the Japanese army, who did not hesitate to suffer casualties, took human lives to fill it, and one guy broke down one of his brigades and broke a hole in the defense line of the 11th Division. The Japanese soldiers, who fled for their lives in spite of it, saw hope and frantically rushed out of this opening.

Ouyang Wu, who was angry, ordered the artillery to shoot fiercely at that opening, regardless of whether they were enemies or enemies, and this could be regarded as stabilizing the heel of the whole division. At the critical moment, Gao Sheng personally led a regiment of reserves to reinforce, Ouyang Wu also put all the reserves into it, and finally blocked this opening, and after a day of fierce fighting, the Japanese army escaped more than 3,000 people, and also paid the price of more than 6,000 casualties. The remaining 10,000 or so Japanese troops, when they ushered in another night, received news from the rear that the Chinese army had crossed the Dagu River, and a wing responsible for the broken rear was broken, and the pursuit distance was only more than ten kilometers. The chief of staff ordered the wounded soldiers to form a broken rear unit, and the whole army was divided into two groups to break through the siege overnight, one group continued to kill in the north, and the other group fled west to fight for the mountains. All in all, one goes and counts as one.

When the battle was fought to this extent, giving such an order meant that the besieged Japanese army had completely given up.

At this time, there was a chariot brigade behind the Japanese army, and the three divisions of the first division were chasing fiercely, and it was not the chariot brigade that rushed to the front, but Li Qianyu's troops. Liu Annihilation was unlucky, and when the chariot broke through the Japanese army's broken rear line, it was frantically blocked by Japanese soldiers. Some Japanese soldiers were shirtless, with white belts on their heads, and they died with the chariot in their arms.

Although this method was very inefficient, it did work, more than a dozen combat vehicles were damaged, and more than 30 casualties were suffered. Li Qianyu asked Liu Zhenyue to rest in place, and he continued to chase forward with his troops. Then Li Gengen followed, also chasing, and a little behind was Long Jiguang, while scolding "xxx." While urging his soldiers to speed up and catch up.

Fang Dashuai is quite interesting, Long Jiguang can take the Yunnan soldiers of his brigade away, which can be regarded as reassuring him. In terms of military ability, Long Jiguang was not too strong, so Fang Dashuai sent many officers in this division. For more than half a year of reorganization, there is still a certain gap in the combat effectiveness of the troops compared with the elite divisions of several A divisions.

Long Jiguang really wanted to show himself, but unfortunately he was unlucky and couldn't catch up. Coming out of the Laiyang Mountains, it is difficult to catch up with the bad weather and guide the road to zhì. Long Jiguang hurried and hurried, crossed the Dagu River, and counterattacked with a chariot in Pingdu in front, which collapsed the Japanese army. Let's put it this way, no one expected that the Japanese army would be so unbeaten, and no one would have expected that the chariot would be used on a large scale for the first time in actual combat, and the power that erupted would be so huge.

Li Qianyu was worried that the Japanese army would repeat its old tricks, so he broke through the siege overnight, and ordered the troops to abandon the artillery regiment, as well as supplies other than ammunition, and the infantry advanced lightly to pursue the fleeing Japanese army.

That night, the Japanese army launched a decisive assault again, and using the cover of night, the Japanese army rushed to break through and tried all their best to break through. Gao Sheng and Ouyang Wu used all their forces, surrounded everywhere, and at dawn, hundreds of Japanese troops in the north successfully broke through and fled to Zhaoyuan. More than 3,000 Japanese troops rushed into the mountains west of Laiyang and hid in the mountains. However, most of the Japanese troops failed to rush out, and at this time Li Qianyu killed the Japanese troops composed of wounded soldiers and chased after them. Li Gengen also chased after him, and Long Jiguang personally chased after him with a regiment lightly.

Under the pursuit of tens of thousands of troops, the organized fighting of the Japanese army came to a complete end, and within a radius of only three or five kilometers, thousands of Japanese troops formed dozens of temporary groups, large and small, fighting on their own, some of them were still fighting, and some laid down their arms and surrendered.

Ouyang Wu and Gao Sheng saw that the pursuers had arrived, and they were not to be left behind, and led their troops to charge. The Japanese army collapsed on all fronts! There were only a few thousand people who successfully broke through, and most of the thousands of Japanese troops who fled into the mountains west of Laiyang were also wiped out by the pursuing troops, and some of the good ones were not found and escaped temporarily. Later, some of these Japanese soldiers could not resist hunger, and more than 100 people chose to come out and surrender, and some Japanese soldiers were still hiding in the mountains a year later, like savages.

The collapse of the Japanese Left Group was a joke as a sign that the Japanese army would continue to increase its troops. Unless an all-out war against China is launched, a single qiē will be meaningless. After the Japanese troops on the right flank learned that the group on the left flank had broken through overnight, Anman ordered the troops to retreat to Yangkou overnight. It was night, on the sea at the mouth of the mouth, after the outbreak of the war, the German did not choose to go to school to teach like other German ** officers, nor did he go to a quiet corner to stay, accept an ordinary job, and wait for the end of the war. Wei Digen chose to join the nationality of the Republic of China and became a lieutenant commander of the Republic of China Navy.

This German madman, even if he changed his vest, could not change his madman's nature. When the submarine set off, he personally commanded the submarine-0 ship to come out of Qingdao Port and sail around the Yellow Sea for several days, but there was never a good opportunity.

When another night came, the remnants of the Japanese Left Flank Group were being pursued on land, and Vedigan in the sea commanded his submarine to wander in the waters near Yangkou. The night was dark and the wind was high, and finally there was nothing abnormal in the surrounding sea, and the submarine floated up and continued to wander on the surface of the sea, recharging the battery by the way.

Slipped into the wee hours of the morning... Suddenly, there was a light on the sea, and Vedigan hurriedly ordered to pay attention to the observation and prepare to dive. This area is only twenty or thirty nautical miles away from Yangkou, and there are still many dangers. It is the madman of Vidigan who dares to wander like a ghost in this generation.

The Japanese right flank group fought fiercely for many days at Liushutai and was unable to overcome the Wehrmacht positions with strong terrain, and the left flank collapsed and could only retreat to the coastal area for defense. In terms of strength, the left group is above the right side, and Kamio Mitsutomi's head has moved, and An Man doesn't dare to have any carelessness. After learning of the defeat on the right flank, the Japanese government did not make a clear response for a long time, but the navy urgently dispatched overnight to send supplies to Yangkou and prepare for the next political battle.

The German Far East Fleet was still wreaking havoc on the oceans, and the British Navy could no longer take care of the Japanese, and the Japanese army, which had suffered defeat, could not take care of Germany, and the next wave of operations was brewing. It is impossible to start an all-out war, and the Japanese government does not have the financial resources. There is no practical point in continuing to increase the number of troops on the Qingdao battlefield, and the 40,000 people of Kamio Mitsutomi and more than 200 cannons have not been able to hold out for long. Go to three more divisions, that is, send. Now we can only put out all our belongings first, and then look for a decent ending.

As the lights on the sea drew closer, and as the huge body approached on the surface, it finally became clear to Vidigan what it was. A large Japanese fleet, several big guys, the Wedigan salivated violently. If you can touch one, it will be cool. Vidigan, a lawless guy, does whatever he wants.

Obviously, if you go up now, you will be sent to death, not at night, the destroyer can still easily take out the weak submarine, and it may be sunk before it gets close, so you can only follow from a distance, waiting for an opportunity.

The Japanese government urgently dispatched all large warships of the navy to three destinations. The first is Yangkou, where the current Anman's troops retreat to the vicinity of the coastline, and the navy is convenient for cover. The second was Tianjin, where the Japanese garrisoned thousands of troops and warships drove over, and then all three divisions of the army landed in Tianjin, posing as a threat to Beijing. The third was Shanghai, where the third squadron composed of large warships shelled coastal batteries to intimidate the government of the Republic of China. At the same time, the Japanese forces in Northeast China and Korea began to assemble, and even if they could not fight an all-out war, they had to put on a posture of preparing for a full-scale war against China.

All in all, it's like the U.S. government many years later, when something big happens in the world, the first thing the president does is ask where the aircraft carrier is. Japan is now a gambler who loses badly at the gambling table, and he wants to win back, but he does not have enough capital to win the war on land, so he can only make an appearance.

It is still difficult for the Wehrmacht to detect the movements of the Japanese army, but Fang Jianxiong responds to all changes with the same attitude. The Northeast Theater has Zhang Xiaohuai in charge, and ten first-class divisions are ready to fight. On the Tianjin side, three Division A and five Division B were also ready for battle, and in short, as long as the Japanese army dared to leave Tianjin, they would resolutely attack them head-on.

While it was brewing on land and sea, news of the Battle of Qingdao spread. The destruction of the Japanese army's left-hand group, this result, shocked the world! Americans were the first to hear about it, thanks to Stilwell's excellent work. What Americans like to do most is to provoke other countries to fight, so that they can reap the benefits. This time, the squadron hit the Japanese army hard, and the American government can be said to be the happiest. With China's fetters, the Japanese government's pressure on the Pacific Ocean will certainly be greatly weakened in the future. On the contrary, the US government must increase its support for China's navy, because Japan is an island country, and China without a navy cannot pose too lethal threats to Japan.

American Minister Raines rushed to Weifang as soon as possible and urgently asked to see Fang Dashuai. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member to recommend this work, your support is my biggest motivation. )
