Chapter 872: Kill Botaro Toshima

Du Guangting saw the new army's armored cluster assault charge tactics, hundreds of tanks and combat vehicles charged, with heavy artillery strikes, that visual shock, simply subverted his own imagination, back to his own headquarters, he was depressed, he has always boasted that he knows the most tank and armored car tactics in China, and suddenly found that what he is proud of is vulnerable to others, and it is not even worth mentioning!

From the formation of the armored combat vehicle battalion, to the later armored corps, and then to the current 200th Division, which is known as China's first mechanized armored unit, there has always been a huge problem that has not been solved. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

That's Butan coordination!

Of course, there is a deeper coordination of infantry, tank, and artillery, which involves other armies, and it is even more difficult to coordinate. Pet. son, but it is not as good as the self-reliant and developed troops.

Looking at others, the coordinated operation of these three parties is obviously already preliminary.

Because this coordination was not resolved, there were no fewer jokes about being killed and injured by their own people in battle.

Many of the officers and men of the armored corps of the New First Army were officers and men of the armored corps that had been lost in Nanjing, and some were still company platoon commanders.

Although he drove Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, he was not ambiguous at all when he started fighting, at least it was much better than when he was in Nanjing.

The establishment and size of the armored brigade are less than one-fifth of that of the 200 divisions, but the combat effectiveness of others is really much more powerful than that of the 200 divisions.

This time, he brought a battalion from each regiment to form an assault group to participate in the Battle of Lanfeng, although he also made gains, and not only did he not fall behind in the frontal confrontation with the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, but even partially gained the upper hand.

That's called a high-spirited person, and it can be regarded as a leader. Sao, just when he felt that he was not good, who knew that at this time, the new first army came to such a lightning raid, and his high-spirited pursuit troops followed behind but were attacked by the seedlings, and the whole army was almost wiped out.

The blow threw him from the clouds to hell in one fell swoop, and he didn't sleep well for several painful nights, so that he could only be a spectator on the edge of the battlefield, only picking up leftovers from others and cleaning up the battlefield.

It stands to reason that they really can't be blamed for this, and they are not beaten by others, but only the Japanese devils can be blamed, and it was the air strikes carried out against them by Japanese fighters.

In that uncovered area, any person on the ground can become a live target, even if it is a fart. I can't hide from the arch soil when I pout.

Complaining, swearing, these are useless, calm down, Du Guangting also felt that he was looking for Xue Boling's theory in the wrong direction, and what a childish and ridiculous behavior it was for the high-tech army to "see death and not save it".

Whoever is in that situation is unlikely to make a move, it is not equivalent to taking the initiative to expose himself, which is no different from suicide.

However, this does not mean that the new 1st Army and the new 38th Division do not have any responsibility!

There was no prior notice of their lightning raid, and if they had known that they were ambushing the Japanese army in the middle of the road, they would not have followed them and acted as "scapegoats" for them.

Seizing this, Du Guangting felt that he had completely found the right reason, the 200th Division suffered such a big loss, and it couldn't just be so cheap for the New First Army.

Du Guangting decided to continue to sue, who to sue, Xue Boling will definitely not work, this Commander Xue is obviously biased in favor of the New First Army, judging from the performance of the New First Army's armored brigade and heavy artillery brigade today, Xue Boling obviously has a good relationship with the cold commander of the New First Army.

No matter how you sue, people won't accept it, and if you sue too much, it will make people suspicious.

If you want to sue, just sue the royal lawsuit!

Du Guangting handed the paper directly to Lao Jiang.

Lao Jiang also felt sorry for the loss of the 200 division, Du Guangting was also his good student after all, his confidant loved the general, and the love general suffered such a big loss, and the equipment he had worked so hard to buy was gone before it could play a role, of course he had to be held accountable.

So he wondered if Xue Boling knew in advance the plan of action of the New First Army's armored brigade and heavy artillery brigade to blitz the Japanese army, and if so, why didn't he notify the troops below?

If the plan for the raid had been known a long time ago, the pursuing assault group should have been prepared, at least not so miserably.

"Mr. Jiang still doesn't trust us and others." After receiving the telegram sent by Lao Chiang asking him to explain, it was obvious that he was also a little worried about the loss of the 200th Division.

"It's been a few days since this incident, and it should have subsided, the new 38 didn't do anything wrong with the new first army, why are there still people who don't forgive?" Wu Xiqi felt strange?

"I'm afraid that in today's battle, someone is hurting, right?" Xue Boling said quietly.

"You mean Du Guangting ......?"

"If it's you, don't you feel heartache for such a big loss?" Xue Boling slammed it and said, "He held on, it is also reasonable, this time he did not mention that he would not be saved, but seized the New First Army and the New 38th Division before the raid and did not report it to the friendly army, so that the friendly army had no defense before this, and the loss of the 200th Division, the New First Army and the New 38th Division had to bear part of the responsibility." ”

"This ......"

"We knew about the raid beforehand, didn't we?"

Wu Xiqi nodded with a bitter face, and he also reminded Xue Boling at the beginning, whether to inform the troops below of the raid plan of the New First Army and the New 38th Division, on a small scale.

However, Xue Boling was worried that it would be easy to leak secrets if he reported to the lower authorities, because after all, there had been frequent leaks of secrets within the Kuomintang and the army before this, resulting in repeated losses in the war against Japan.

Moreover, this time the plan is sudden and secretive, and if these two factors are lost, the effect will be greatly reduced, and it will even harm the New First Army and the New 38th Division.

"What's going on over there with Chairman Chiang?"

"How we decide, how to go, I will take care of this matter Xue Boling." Xue Boling commanded calmly.

"I'm also responsible for this ......"

"What responsibility do you have, you reminded me, it was I who decided not to report it below, the responsibility lies with me, Mr. Jiang understands this truth." Xue Boling raised his hand and said.

"I think it's better for me to co-sign this telegram with you."

"Okay, don't say any more, is today's battle summary out, I want to see it?" Xue Boling interrupted Wu Xiqi's words.

Xue Boling took all the responsibility, which Du Guangting did not expect, and in this way, the matter had nothing to do with the New First Army and the New 38th Division.

The purpose of Du Guangting's complaint was not to shirk his own responsibility, of course, he did bear a certain amount of command responsibility, and did not take into account air defense, fighting on the plains, especially in open areas without any shelter, and when the enemy had air supremacy, the pursuing troops actually neglected air defense.

Of course, in that case, even if you are prepared, it won't make much difference, and you won't have anywhere to hide.

Unlike the armored brigade of the New First Army, people have long been prepared, and before the arrival of enemy planes, they have already hidden themselves, and at a distance of several hundred meters in the sky, they cannot see the target on the ground at all.

This shows that people have long had a sense of prevention and control, and they have calculated accurately, after the surprise attack, the Japanese army must call for an air strike at the first time.

As for their own troops, they also carried anti-aircraft guns for air defense, but as a result, they didn't play much role, and they were blown into a pile of scrap metal by other people's bombs.

He wanted to find an excuse to go to the New First Army, especially the armored brigade, and to put it bluntly, he wanted to steal the division.

But you have to find a reason to come to the door, and it is also a reason for Xingshi to ask for guilt, but people may not pay attention to you, maybe you didn't even enter the camp gate, and people blew it out.

Raise the face of the old boss and find the former subordinates to catch up, now is not the time.

What's more, everyone talks about simple and confidential topics, who will say it to you from the bottom of your heart?

Du Guangting thought about it, and there was only one excuse that could be used, that is, the two armies exchanged with each other and visited and studied.

In the next two days, Du Guangting rarely spoke at military meetings, and as soon as the armored brigade was dispatched, he would definitely be the first to follow it and observe the whole process.

Then he went back to his headquarters, closed the door, wrote his thoughts, and wrote materials.

Tang Keqin did not break his promise, and intercepted the reinforcements of the Japanese 106th Division in Bozhou, and the two troops fought dozens of times in two days, although the 106th Division was a newly formed division, but they were all demobilized veterans, and their combat effectiveness was very strong.

The two armies of the Tang Army, less than 50,000 people, plus Luo Qi's 95th Division transferred from Zhengzhou, totaled more than 60,000 people, and the 106th Division was desperately blocked in Bozhou and prevented it from going north to Germany.

After the Japanese army captured Suxian, the troops were divided into two routes, one to Xuzhou, and the other to attack Xiaoxian.

The 1st Division of the 48th Army commanded by Liao Lei and the remnants of Li Yannian's 2nd Army built a large number of fortifications in Xiao County to cover the main force to break through to the mountainous areas of northern Anhui.

In the early morning of June 13, Toshima Botaro led the remnants to break through the siege, and was surrounded by the new 38th Division, which had already learned this information, in the area of Chenji on the north bank of the Liulin River, and fought fiercely for a morning.

The Japanese army that broke through the siege, Toshima Botaro, and the Japanese army were less than 800 people, and all of them were annihilated.

Major General Botaro Toshima was shot dead by a well.

Kenji Dohihara received the message from Toshima Tama Shatter, and His Excellency, the cunning and ruthless division commander, still couldn't help shedding two tears, if Toshima didn't take the initiative to break through, maybe he could support it for a while.

His breakthrough is tantamount to saying that he was sent to death on his own initiative.

But Kenji Dohihara knew that he was doing this, so why did he give such a ruthless order, I'm afraid only he knew best.

On the same day, the Kawagishi troops of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army in Central China entered Xuzhou City and joined the 5th Division a day earlier.

Later, the Japanese troops who landed in the East China Sea of the 16th Division also got Xuzhou, including a marine corps, and an independent mixed fifth brigade, and the Sato detachment that invaded northern Jiangsu went all the way north, captured the coast, and engaged Han Deqin's 24th Army dozens of times.

The Japanese army did not have many troops in northern Jiangsu, not because the Japanese army did not value this place, but as long as they occupied the Jinpu Road and the vast area east of the Jinpu Road, it was naturally not a problem.

What the Japanese army wanted was to quickly occupy and force the Nationalist Government to surrender, and all of them would be occupied by the Japanese army one by one, which was unrealistic, at least Japan did not have so many troops at present.
