Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 23 Wanjialing

The weather is getting cooler, and Xue Yue also has a premonition that little Japan is afraid that it is about to move again.

Wu Yizhi, chief of staff of the 1st Corps, also said this morning that little Japan was fighting in full swing on the north bank of the Yangtze River and at the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains, but the battlefields of Jiujiang and De'an were silent, and he did not know what little Japan was doing.

Xue Yue then asked about the 36th Army Corps, and asked Yu Jishi if he had made any small moves behind his back? Wu Yizhi said that Yu Jishi has been very peaceful recently, and it seems that he has learned a lesson丨Xue Yue asked Wu Yizhi to pay more attention, and also said that Yu Jishi is a time bomb, and he can't be sure when it will explode.

When Xue Yue told Wu Yizhi to pay attention to Yu Ji, he didn't tell Wu Yizhi to pay attention to the small Japan opposite, and he didn't realize that there was already a gap in his outer Bazi defense line, and the 10th Peituan of Little Japan was 20,000 people, and he would soon be interspersed from this gap and intercept his De'an nest.

In Shahe Town, the main force of the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan has completed the assembly.

Junrokuro Matsuura wore a steel helmet on his head, and walked out of the headquarters accompanied by four wing captains, under the dark night sky, more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers had formed five phalanxes, and the steel helmets reflected a cold reflection under the starlight, just like Junrokuro Matsuura's mood at the moment, cold, and slaughtering.

It's an adventure, but it's also a crazy gamble.

In order to speed up the march and reduce the obstacles to the march, the 10th Pei Regiment did not carry any heavy equipment, and the field artillery wing, the tank squadron, the battle defense artillery squadron, the cavalry wing, and the baggage wing were not all accompanied by them, and almost all of the more than 15,000 people in the five-way column were combatants, except for the combatants, only a small number of medical personnel accompanied them.

It is undoubtedly extremely dangerous for such a unit to penetrate alone in depth, and once it is unable to quickly open up the situation, once the national army reacts, the Japanese army will immediately find itself in a predicament, and at that time, more than 100,000 or 200,000 national troops will flock from all directions, and what awaits the Matsuura division is likely to be the end of the entire army.

However, high risk often means high returns.

Once the Songpu Division successfully passes through the gap in the middle of the Bazi defense line outside the Nationalist Army, and once the Songpu Division suddenly appears in Mahuiling Town or even lays down De'an, the Nationalist Army on the front of the Ruiwu Highway and the Nanxun Railway will be shaken on all fronts, and the Jiujiang Battlefield, which has been deadlocked for more than three months, will immediately break the situation, and the Japanese army will reap an unprecedented victory

The lesser of two phases, Junrokuro Matsuura believes that the risk is worth it

A Japanese soldier ran forward, stood upright, and reported to Matsuura: "Division commander, all infantry wings and divisional units directly under the division have been assembled, please give me instructions." ”

Junrokuro Matsuura stepped forward and patted Shaozo's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Open the way"

Li Song's 348th Regiment suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Fengxian, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the whole regiment died only more than 400 people, and even the regiment commander Li Song was seriously wounded, after the 58th Division went to the De'an battlefield, Feng Shengfa ordered Han Keqiang, the commander of the 348th Regiment, to lead some officers to Yongxiu County to re-recruit and train the 48th Regiment, and more than 400 veterans of the original 348th Regiment were supplemented into the 19th Brigade.

For Feng Shengfa's decision, Han Keqiang wants to say that it is impossible to say that there is no opinion, Han Keqiang knows how important veterans are to a unit, he dreamed of taking away the more than 400 veterans of the 348 regiment, but the official was crushed to death, Feng Shengfa gave an order, he could only obey, Zuihou only came to Yongxiu County with a dozen officers.

After more than three months of recruitment and training, the 348th Regiment finally has a little bit of a look.

Early in the morning, Han Keqiang pulled the troops to Longtouling and Yunju Mountain to engage in field training, such field training was carried out almost every three days, and the recruits of the 348 regiment were complaining at the beginning, but after three months of perseverance, these recruits have made progress in both physical fitness and mental willpower.

Han Keqiang didn't know that a brutal encounter was quietly approaching the 348th regiment.

When the 348th Regiment set off from Yongxiu County, it was not yet dawn, and after entering the Yunju Mountain Mountains, the eastern sky had just turned white, and after dozens of miles of long-distance marching, the troops were already sleepy, so Han Keqiang ordered the troops to rest in place, light a fire and cook, and plan to go deeper into the mountains after breakfast, so as to exercise the spiritual willpower of the officers and men of the whole regiment.

On the other side of Longtou Ridge, an infantry brigade of the L13th Infantry Wing of the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan was also lighting a fire and cooking, although the distance between the two troops in a straight line was less than a thousand meters, but due to the mountain barrier, the sharp soldiers of the two sides had not met for the time being, so the existence of the other party was not discovered.

But halfway through the meal, the spearheads on both sides will inevitably encounter.

A sudden gunfire sounded in the col in front of him, and Han Keqiang knew that it was bad, because he vaguely distinguished that in addition to the sound of formal shooting, there was also the sound of the small Japanese 38 big cover in this burst of gunfire, what does this mean? This shows that the spearhead group sent out by the 348th Regiment encountered the spearhead group of Little Japan

Han Keqiang didn't know where this Japanese army came from, he didn't know where this Japanese army planned to go, and he didn't know how many troops this Japanese army actually had, but he knew one thing very well, that is, he must not let this Japanese army pass, even if he fought for the lives of more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the entire 348 Regiment, he would block this Japanese army here.

Han Keqiang immediately ordered the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment to grab a handful of raw rice to satisfy their hunger, and launched preparations on the spot to block the attack.

The officers and men of the 348th Regiment had just begun, and before they had time to dig trench fortifications, about a small group of Japanese soldiers swooped down along the mountain pass, and the officers and men of the 348th Regiment could not care about repairing the fortifications, and could only rely on the mountain to start a fierce battle with the Japanese army.

Most of the 348 regiments were recruits, and it was said that it was impossible to withstand the Japanese attack, but fortunately, there were not many small Japanese who came along the mountain pass, and the terrain of the mountain pass was narrow, so that the small Japanese stragglers could not pull apart, and they could only squeeze together to charge, which invisibly increased the difficulty of the attack of the small Japan, and also reduced the difficulty of the defense of the national army.

With the favorable terrain, the 348th Regiment was on a par with Little Japan.

But Han Keqiang also made a mistake in his busy schedule, he only cared about sending troops to guard various hills to block the Japanese army, but he missed to send a signal soldier to report the message, and when he reacted and wanted to send a signal soldier to report the message, another Japanese army had already detoured from behind the 348 regiment and cut off their retreat.

At this time, Han Keqiang simply did not send anyone to report the news, and strictly ordered all battalions and companies to hold their respective positions and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Han Keqiang remembers very well that Ou Zhen's 4th Army is now being reorganized in Wuning County because of heavy losses at Jinguanqiao, and a regiment of the 4th Army is stationed in Baofeng Town, not far from Longtouling, and the gunfire on this side of Longtouling is impossible not to alarm the 4th Army, as long as the 4th Army arrives, the Japanese army in front of him will definitely die.

When the battle broke out suddenly, Junrokuro Matsuura was throwing a tantrum.

This time it was interspersed behind enemy lines, and the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan could be said to have gone smoothly or not, and it was said that it was smooth because they had not encountered the national army along the way, and they had interspersed it very easily, and it was not smooth because they had encountered an unexpected trouble, and it was a big trouble, and this big trouble was that they had lost their way

Several senior staff members of the General Staff Department searched the map over and over again, but they could not determine the current location.

The map that little Japan stole from Sun Chuanfang at great cost did not match the nearby terrain at all, and several senior staff members who graduated from the Army University could not tell the direction of the troops at all, and because of the disturbance of the magnetic field, they could not even distinguish the direction clearly, and they were completely lost

I'm afraid that even Sun Chuanfang himself couldn't have imagined that the map he casually drew by someone back then would help the national army a lot.

Zuihou really had no choice, so Matsuura Junrokuro had to take the risk of exposing his whereabouts and sent troops to sweep a village, captured a few mountain people, and used the safety of their families as a bargaining chip, and finally determined the direction from the mouths of these mountain people, but after determining the direction, Matsuura Junrokuro was so angry that he scolded.

Because the 10th Pei Regiment has actually arrived at Wanjialing, not only is it far from the destination of Mahuiling Town, which is interspersed this time, but even De'an has been left behind by them, they have gone deep behind the national army, and now they must find a new way to go back, not to mention tossing people back and forth, and the danger of exposure has also greatly increased.

I was really worried about something, and Junrokuro Matsuura was worried that his whereabouts would be exposed, and there was a fierce gunfire in front of him, needless to say, he must have encountered the national army.
