Little Japan's death-defying rebellion was indeed crazy, but they encountered Zhang Lingfu's 305th regiment

After a day of fierce fighting, the corpses on Zhang Gushan were all over the field, and the most critical time the little Japan even attacked the North Highlands for a time, but the 305th Regiment quickly organized a counterattack, and the deputy commander Tang Shenghai personally led two hundred death squads to start a tragic white-knives battle with Little Japan, and finally Tang Shenghai and the battalion commander Hu Xiongjun were seriously injured, and the two hundred death squads were killed and wounded, but the little Japan was also driven to the North Highlands.

The sky was about to get dark, and Iino Kenten could only hold his saber on the pillar, looking at the immovable Zhang Gushan and looking up to the sky and lamenting.

At the same time, more than a dozen divisions of the L Corps of the National Army had launched a general offensive from several directions at once.

Zhang Gushan was lost, the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan lost its advantage in the inner line, and both the movement of troops and the transfer of materials were seriously affected.

In the face of the flood of requests for help, Junrokuro Matsuura was completely desperate, and immediately sent a farewell message to Okamura Ninji, the commander of the Nanjing Army, and at the same time gathered more than a dozen medical soldiers accompanying him, and first gang raped by the guards, staff officers, and communication soldiers around him, and then killed them in unison.

This is also a long-standing tradition in Little Japan.

After Okamura Ninji received Junrokuro Matsuura's farewell telegram, he didn't sleep all night.

At this moment, the frustration in Okamura Ninji's heart can no longer be described in words, the situation in the Wanjialing battle has taken a sharp turn, the Habata detachment has not yet reached Xingzi, the Maruyama brigade has not even completed the assembly, but the Matsuura division is about to be wiped out, which directly led to the previous slash offensive formulated by Okamura Ninji to be stillborn.

To make matters worse, the Matsuura Division was in danger of total annihilation

Since the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army has suffered heavy losses in the battlefields of North China and East China, and in Taierzhuang, the Seto detachment with the highest degree of mechanization has even been almost wiped out, but the formation of divisions and regiments has been completely annihilated, but it is still a serious incident that has never been seen before, and even dating back to the era of the Russo-Japanese War.

Okamura Ninji couldn't imagine what would happen if the Matsuura Division had set this bad precedent. His own reputation and future will be ruined, and he may even be tried by a military court, and when he thinks of this, Okamura Ninji will feel inexplicably afraid, he can't afford such serious consequences.

Therefore, early the next morning, Okamura Ninji hurried to the Ming Imperial Palace Airport, and the ace pilot of the aviation regiment, Sakai Jiro, personally piloted a reconnaissance plane to take him to the skies over Dean, and Okamura Ninji planned to find a way for the Matsuura Division from the air, so that even if the entire 10 Pei Regiment could not be rescued, at least the division headquarters of the 10 Pei Regiment should be rescued.

The reconnaissance plane soon flew over De'an, today's weather is quite good, from the sky down, the lofty mountains below are clearly visible, not even a trace of fog, Sakai Jiro piloted the plane around a large circle, Okamura Ninji has a general understanding of the situation on the entire battlefield.

A large number of Nationalist troops had already surrounded the narrow area between Wanjialing and Changling, and in this case, unless the roads were in good condition, unless the PL Army quickly mobilized all its heavy artillery and all its aviation bombers, it would be possible to blow up a passage alive and rescue the trapped 10th Pei Regiment.

Jiro Sakai said very directly: "Your Excellency Commander, give up, there is no hope. ”

Okamura Ninji still refused to give up, and ordered Sakai Jiro to continue flying around the entire battlefield, and when he flew to the fourth circle, Okamura Ninji suddenly found something, pointed down and asked Sakai: "Sakai-san, what is that?" ”

Jiro Sakai turned his head sideways and looked down, and said in an uncertain tone, "It seems to be a river?" ”

"Lower the height and take a closer look, what the hell is that" Okamura Ninji gave the order without hesitation.

Sakai Jiro risked the plane crash to lower the flight altitude, less than fifty meters above the ground, Okamura Ninji finally saw clearly, it was indeed a river, although it was not big, but it was enough for rubber boats to pass Matsuura Division was blocked in the mountains, if you want to break out of the deep mountains and old forests, it is absolutely impossible, but if there are a few rubber boats, there is still a chance to escape if you drift down the river

With a plan in his heart, Okamura Ninji hurriedly asked Sakai Jiro to fly back.

Returning to Nanjing, Okamura Ninji immediately issued an order to the Matsuura Division, ordering Matsuura Junroku to hold out until dark no matter what, and at the same time informing Matsuura Junrokuro that the headquarters would urgently raise dozens of rubber boats to airdrop them in the Wanjialing Mountains, and instructed the remnants of the Matsuura Division to take rubber boats down the river and break through in the direction of Poyang Lake.

When he received the telegram from Okamura Ninji, Junrokuro Matsuura had even knelt down to the east, wiping his saber and preparing to commit suicide by seppuku, after reading the telegram, the old devil Matsuura immediately gave up the idea of committing suicide by seppuku, and organized the remnants of the division headquarters and the remnants of the L13th Infantry Wing to control the commanding heights of the mountain and resist desperately.

At this time, the 10th infantry wing of the small Japanese was completely divided and surrounded by the national army, and the battle had come to an end, and there were only a few hundred people left around Junrokuro Matsuura, and the two brigade commanders, the four wing commanders, and the chief of staff, these officers above the rank of Osa, were not left behind, all of them were there, and it can be seen that the efforts of the senior Japanese officers to save their lives were actually no worse than those of the national army.

In the evening, a group of Zuihou bombers flew over the Wanjialing battlefield, but this time it was no longer bombs that were dropped, but dozens of bundled rubber boats, and Junrokuro Matsuura and several senior officers, as well as the remaining four or five hundred Japanese soldiers in Zuihou, finally waited for Zuihou's chance to escape.

De'an, Headquarters of the L Corps of the National Army.

Judging from the number of enemy killings reported at the moment, the little Japanese have lost nearly 10,000 people, and if we count the casualties on the way to the breakout, the total number of troops lost by the 10th Pei Regiment of the small Japanese has been as high as more than 15,000 people.

The only suspense now is whether he can catch the old devil Junrokuro Matsuura

If Junrokuro Matsuura is caught, then the battle of Wanjialing will be an unprecedented victory

Then Xue Yue can go to Chairman Jiang with his head held high, and then tell him that the reason why the Battle of Lanfeng will become a laughing stock for the ages is not that I, Xue, don't know how to command and can't fight, but that your good student Gui Yongqing has missed a major event This evil breath has been held in Xue Yue's chest for almost half a year, but today, I can finally relax.

Chief of Staff Wu Yizhi said to the map: "General, judging from the reports of various departments, the main force of the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan has been basically annihilated, although there are still several remnants of the Japanese army on the battlefield are still resisting stubbornly, but its destruction is already irreversible, but it is ...... I haven't found the division headquarters of the old devil in Matsuura. ”

"Didn't you find the division headquarters of the old devil in Matsuura?" Xue Yue's face immediately fell, and he frowned and said, "Find, find me, send an order to all armies and divisions, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find the old devil in Matsuura, I don't believe it, Junrokuro Matsuura, this old devil, can still become a grandson of Tuxing, and run away?" ”

But in the end, the national army still failed to catch Junrokuro Matsuura.

The most recent one, a platoon of the 305th Regiment had almost discovered the division headquarters of Junrokuro Matsuura, when the two sides were less than 50 meters apart, as long as they went 10 meters further, history would be rewritten, but unfortunately it was dark at that time, and the platoon of the 305th Regiment actually went in the other direction, and the old devil of Matsuura was saved from being captured by the national army.

This is also a small regret behind the victory of Wanjialing, although the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan was almost completely annihilated, and less than 15,000 Japanese soldiers were interspersed from the gap in the middle of the outer eight characters, and less than 500 people were able to escape back alive in the end, but the division commander Junrokuro Matsuura and the senior officers above Ozuo all ran away, so they can only be regarded as heavy losses, not total annihilation.
