Chapter 218: Who Goes to Hell Section 1 The sound of the south strikes the north
When Yang Bangzi and his party were about to reach Lishu Beach, the old boy's ears turned again, and after listening for a few seconds, he immediately let the people who followed him to the Immortal Jump Peak scatter and hide in the rocks and bushes!
A total of three batches of Japanese planes, not transport planes and reconnaissance planes, but Kawasaki bombers and destroyers, flew from the southeast, crossed the sky over the western foot of Damao Mountain, and went straight to the northwest.
Isn't the devil going south? The battle in Datan Village is so fierce, why are the devil's planes going to bomb the north? Yang Bangzi didn't bother to greet the soldiers who were still hidden, and ran up the nearby hill in three steps and two steps, half-kneeling on the stone and holding a telescope to observe in the direction of the devil's plane dive.
Clouds of black smoke rose up, according to the general estimate of the direction, that is, the line from Wangtianling to Xiaoguancheng was bombed, Yang Bangzi didn't need to look at it anymore, turned around and ran down the mountain with a smoke, and told Xiaoliangzi to gather the team and immediately go down the foothills to Wangtianling!
Yang Bangzi's side temporarily changed the marching route, and when the plane just arrived overhead, the ground troops began to act! The offensive on the southern front was completely stopped, and the devils who had been in a defensive posture had long been ready to transfer, and the air raid had just begun, and the devils in the garrison fortifications on the northern front were the first to rush to Wangtianling!
However, the wing headquarters of Shimizu Daisa, the troops directly under him, and the artillery units that followed closely behind the opening of the road also turned north, but the Japanese brigade, which had been fighting on the southern front and the special training camp all morning, did not withdraw immediately. It is still in the river valley south of the Dragon King Temple. Together with the garrisons to the east and west. There was no withdrawal.
Gao Yufeng, section chief of the Operations Section, the temporary combat brigade of the military sub-division commanded by the junior captain of the Nationalist Army earlier, plus the two detachments of the teaching brigade, were on guard from Nanmazhuang to Wangtianling, which is a distance of several tens of miles from north to south, and there were not many troops on Wangtianling, only two platoons guarded the ridges on the east and west sides, and the reason why he did not release too many troops was that Section Chief Gao believed that the devils were going all out to go south or west. It is unlikely that you will go back and drill into the hinterland of the base area.
He was wrong, Shimizu Dazuo came with the mentality of cranes and mussels competing for fishermen and profits! When the Kuroda Wing entered and occupied Yinfang Town, Yang Bangzi did not dare to concentrate all the combat personnel to the east, and he was also worried that the Japanese army would have other fast troops to copy his rear road, and it was not until there was no information about the Japanese army's movements in several directions that he issued a general mobilization order for the whole region and fought to the death with the Kuroda Wing.
At this time, if Shimizu Daizuo and his special operations team stabbed Yang Bangzi in the back from the west, the 11th Division, which was suffering from the enemy in the abdomen, would probably suffer a catastrophe. Even if Yang Bangzi can transfer with the troops, in front of the large army of devils advancing from east to west. The common people and local authorities in the entire sub-region will have to be torn apart.
When the Kuroda Wing retreated to Xingshutai and decided to come to the center to blossom, when the troops who came to the rescue from several ways began to act, if Shimizu Daisa could also dispatch troops at this time, he could not only relieve the siege of the Kuroda Wing, but also give a fatal blow to the divisional organs of Yang Bangzi, who had no time to withdraw, even if Yang Bangzi drove the Kuroda United out of the base area, but Shimizu Daisa's new force he was powerless to resist, and the 11th Division had to fall.
The best two times Shimizu Daisa didn't choose, but he chose the night when the Kuroda Wing was preparing to break through, he took the special operations team that had been hidden for many days and set out, which means that Kuroda Osa and Shimizu Osa do not belong to the same army, if Kuroda knows the road, Shimizu Daisa chose the day he couldn't support the breakout, and he had to pinch with Shimizu.
How did the pampered Baron Kuroda know what Shimizu Daisa was thinking? Shimizu pondered, when the fight between Yang Bangzi and Kuroda has not reached the point of life and death, he will lead the troops to fight into the base of the Eighth Road, with Yang Bangzi's cunning, he will definitely send a small force to stumble on the feet of the huge Kuroda Wing, and concentrate all the main forces to deal with the special operations wing.
After all, the minimum standard wing of 3,500 people, Yang Bangzi is much easier to deal with than the Kuroda Wing of more than 8,000 people, and Yang Bangzi still has a lot of troops on the Western Front, and when he does not transfer all his troops to the Eastern Front, his special operations wing cannot march long distances to raid any military attack target.
Objectively speaking, Qing Shui, a devil officer, is still a bit strategically minded, he led his troops in the secret base of Fanzhi, and watched the fire from the other side of the strait to pay attention to the battle situation in Yinfang Town every day, until the Kuroda Wing retreated to Xingshutai, he realized that the time for his own special operations team to participate in the war was coming!
He knew that his opponent, the commander of the Eighth Route Army, who looked like a Chinese peasant, would never let Kuroda go easily, and he would definitely bet all the treasures he could on the Eastern Front!
It can be said that Shimizu Dazuo's sneak attack on Nanmazhuang was very successful from a tactical point of view, secretly marching more than 200 miles, and also bypassing the interception of the special training camp, causing heavy casualties to the rear organs of the 11th Division, if it were not for the stubborn resistance of the teaching brigade and the special training camp, these more than 3,000 devils would simply be in a no-man's land!
Captain Kuroda wanted to come to the northwest of Hebei to gild, and he, the noble wing captain, relied on his title and faction in the army to become a leader, if he talked about military merits, I am afraid he was not as good as a squadron leader who fought against the Eighth Route and the National Army in Guannai, so he and Shimizu Dazuo are incomparable in military affairs.
You can see that after Shimizu Dazuo basically completed the sneak attack on the rear organs of the Eighth Route and Eleventh Division, he immediately turned to the south and wanted to attack the second target, the Eighth Route Arsenal, repair institute and smelter in the military camp town, and then either eastward or southward, he could calmly leave the mountains and return to the plain control area, which was much stronger than Kuroda's arrogant fanfare to find the main force of the Eighth Route for a decisive battle, because Shimizu's special operations wing was attacking the targets that the Eighth Route must save, and there was no need to look for it, the main force of the Eighth Route had to come to him!
Therefore, after the troops went out to Dalingkou and encountered an attack, Shimizu Dazuo also judged that Yang Bangzi's very tired main force should also arrive at his surrounding area based on aerial reconnaissance, and immediately ordered to build a position in the area of Longwang Temple, waiting for the Eighth Road to surround it!
Qing Shui wanted to use his own well-rested troops, using the eight-way usual morning glory tactics, to tease Yang Bangzi's main force to follow his own special operations wing when he had not recovered from the exhaustion after the war, and when the time was ripe, Qing Shui was ready to completely defeat Yang Bangzi!
Don't forget, Shimizu Daizo has been staring at the 11th Division to take revenge! He can give up the Eighth Road Arsenal and not fight, and he has to calculate the humiliated revenge with Yang Bangzi a few times!
Based on this mentality, and confidence in the combat effectiveness of his troops, Shimizu Dazuo changed the battle plan, ordered the whole army to make a 180-degree turn with the support and cover of the aircraft, and used a strategy to attack the north from the south.
Qing Shui and his staff said that he thought that the Eighth Route must have judged that he was going to the barracks town by now, so he must put the troops that could be assembled layer by layer among the mountains leading to the barracks town, like a wall, waiting for the special operations team to smash it open one by one, I am afraid that when he arrives at the barracks town, the special operations wing will also be injured more than half, and there will be no combat effectiveness.
If, at this time, when the Eighth Route Yang Bangzi Division hurriedly returned from a long march on the Eastern Front and had not yet rested, it suddenly returned to the horse pistol and re-entered the central area of the 11th Division, then the troops placed on the southward road of the Eighth Route would have become an ornament, and the soldiers of Yang Bangzi, who had been fighting fiercely for more than 10 days, would still have to muster up their spirits to defend their central area, and this would create conditions for the special operations wing to destroy the main force of Yang Bangzi.
The reports of Shimizu Daisa and General Okamura Ninji also said that to annihilate this eight-way bandit who posed a great threat to the imperial army, the opportunity is rare, and it is time for him to show his skills! (To be continued......)
