Chapter 1092: Annihilation of the Japanese Invaders
Although more than two-thirds of the casualties of the three regiments and one battalion were killed, the Japanese also paid hundreds of casualties, and a large number of wooden boats and rubber boats used to cross the river were destroyed by artillery fire.
In contrast, there is no advantage either.
The frontal attacking troops could not be defeated for a long time, but it was a bitter detour of the little devils. Under the siege of the 3rd Regiment and the 2nd Regiment and the reinforcements of the 3rd Division, the remaining 2,000 Japanese troops had no way to go up to the sky and no way to go to the ground.
I had to break through in the direction of the exchange and call for emergency support from the Japanese troops on the other side.
In the end, this Japanese detour force was completely annihilated in a forest less than 3,000 meters away from the 1st Division's position along the river, and no one fled back to the north bank.
At this time, it was almost dawn, and Li Mingshan was ordered to take over the command of the entire First Division, and after completely annihilating the Japanese sneak attack troops, he immediately ordered the tank regiment and artillery regiment of the First Division to launch a retaliatory artillery attack on the Japanese troops on the opposite bank.
At the same time, the order was given to collect the first regiment, the second regiment was routed, especially the first regiment, almost all the formations were disrupted and scattered, and thousands of soldiers were killed, wounded, and fled.
At dawn, the artillery regiment and the tank regiment jointly poured thousands of shells on the Japanese positions on the opposite bank, bombing the Japanese positions along the river into a sea of fire, destroying many of the fire points and causing hundreds of Japanese casualties.
And after this battle, the casualties and losses of the 1st Division were also counted.
The First Regiment suffered more than 1,500 casualties, of which more than 80 percent were killed, and the losses mainly came from the artillery battalion and other baggage units directly under the regiment.
The casualties of the second regiment were 1,300, Li Mingshan's third regiment suffered more than 700 casualties, and the casualties of the reinforcements of the third division were negligible and negligible.
The only fortunate thing is that the tank regiment, artillery regiment, air defense and baggage regiment directly under the headquarters of the First Division, and several other important combat units directly under the division headquarters retreated in time because of Li Mingshan's improvised response and were not affected by the fires of the war.
At this time, Scarface (Liu Yishou) and several regiment commanders and combat staff officers finally woke up from their hangover, and learned that the situation had changed viciously last night, and several of them were pale with fright and regretted.
Li Mingshan was ordered to lead a team of guards to arrest Scarface and the others, and at this time, Scarface and them were in a forest less than two kilometers away from the division headquarters, and there were a few guards who risked their lives to escort them to break through and evacuate last night.
At this time, they confronted the guards brought by Li Mingshan, they didn't know that Scarface and the others had made a big mistake, and they were still performing their duties as the head of the guard without knowing the truth.
"Lay down your weapons." Li Mingshan shouted as if he were like water.
"What do you want to do? If you want to be unfavorable to the deputy division commander, it is equivalent to rebellion, you know? One of the leaders of the guards, armed with an MP38 submachine gun in his hand, his face covered in black ash from the smoke of gunpowder, shouted with his neck stalked.
Scarface stepped forward and raised his hand to press down the submachine gun in the guard leader's hand.
Li Mingshan saluted him and said, "Commander! I have come to invite you to the column headquarters on the order of the deputy commander. In fact, Li Mingshan knew that although Scarface was not the commander of the First Division in name, he was the commander of the Division in substance.
Division commander Liu Yidao is already the deputy commander of the column, his division commander is only in name, the command of the whole division is really in the hands of Scarface, if it were not for this hangover mistake, with Scarface leading the whole division in the Liaodong Peninsula for his great military exploits, or it will not be long before he will really become the commander of the first division.
In all fairness, Li Mingshan still admires his commander very much, he was born in a bandit nest, but he fought bravely, he must advance in every battle, and has made great contributions to the great cause of resisting Japan.
Therefore, even though Scarface could not escape the blame, Li Mingshan was still saluting him with respect at the moment.
Scarface looked at Li Mingshan with a solemn face: "Is the loss big?" ”
Li Mingshan told the truth: "The three main regiments of the division suffered about 4,000 casualties, and the casualty rate was about 80 percent. ”
Scarface's face became even heavier, and he frowned, "I hurt them, you can take me to the deputy commander." ”
With that, he stretched out his hands.
Li Mingshan stopped a guard who wanted to step forward to tie Scarface, and said to him: "No matter what, sir, you will win the least respect, please!" ”
Scarface glanced at Li Mingshan gratefully, and said, "Before I die, I will suggest to my eldest brother that you take over as deputy division commander, you are more suitable than me to take on this position." ”
Li Mingshan was silent, at this time, it was not appropriate for him to express any opinion on this issue.
Li Mingshan led people to escort Scarface to the outside of the column headquarters, and then said goodbye and left, the task given to him by Liu Yidao has been completed, as for what to do next, it is Liu Yidao's business, no, with Scarface's identity, Liu Yidao doesn't even have the right to shoot him directly.
Such important matters must be reported to Qiao Youhua, commander-in-chief in North China, and Zuo Quan, chief of the general staff.
Scarface walked into Liu Yidao's headquarters with a somewhat depressed face, only to see that in addition to Liu Yidao, there were several operational staff officers in the headquarters, including Cheng Cai, chief of staff of the column and commander of the Third Division, and Li Xiangtian, commander of the Second Division.
Seeing that Liu Yidao's face was like frost, Scarface came to him and knelt down and said, "Big brother, it's all my fault, I killed thousands of brothers, and I bear all the responsibility." ”
Liu Yidao kicked him to the ground with a kick that hated iron and steel, and said angrily: "At this time, you are still a fucking hero, you and several regiment commanders and staff officers under your command ignored the current situation of the enemy, drunk and hungover before the battle, and delayed the warplane, causing thousands of soldiers to spill blood on the battlefield, and no one can fucking run away from the responsibility!"
Not killing you is not enough to comfort the souls of thousands of innocent soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the sky, and it is not enough to set an example for the three armies! ”
"Then please ask the eldest brother to kill me, I know that this time the basket is bigger, sacrificing so many soldiers, I feel very uncomfortable, and it is not interesting to live, please give me a good time!" Scarface closed his eyes and held his chest high after speaking, looking appointed.
Liu Yidao suddenly became angry when he saw it in his eyes, took out the gun on his waist and gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "You bastard, is it really reluctant to shoot you?" ”
At this moment, Cheng Cai, chief of staff and political commissar of the first column and commander of the third division, hurriedly stopped Liu Yidao and said to him: "Deputy commander, please calm your anger, Comrade Liu Yishou is the deputy commander of the first division, and we have no right to execute him."
He violated military law this time, and he should report it to the commander-in-chief and the chief of the general staff for their decision! ”
"Okay, just let you live a few more days and report to the commander-in-chief immediately." Liu Yidao borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and said: "I myself also have the responsibility of improper employment, please punish the commander-in-chief together!" ”
