Chapter 4 Breakout? quiet

Yoshizu Ryosuke's death made the personnel of the 9th Division, who were already cold, panicked, everyone had their own opinions, and the headquarters was in chaos.

Xiao Yi had gathered all the team members together at this moment, and they pretended to be a team of devils, and they touched the vicinity of the temporary headquarters of the 9th Division without a trace. They were originally going for Yoshiju Ryosuke, but after seeing Yoshiju Ryosuke's corpse, Xiao Yi was surprised and immediately had a better idea.

"Brothers, what a chance, hurry up and release this news. Hehe, if you take the opportunity to do it again when Jing Shuxuan and Akiyama Yoshiyoshi do, the 9th Division will be over. ”

The tasks assigned to them by Ouyang Yun were very general and did not seem to be too specific indicators, but Xiao Yi knew that whether it was assassinating a high-ranking Japanese official or a traitor, what was done was to break through the large army and reduce the threat after the breakthrough.

Under his assignment, everyone was divided into two teams with a tacit understanding, one team went to find Akiyama Yoshiyo, and the other team went to find Jing Shuxuan, and along the way, they took the opportunity to release the news of Yoshizu Ryosuke's death.

Among the three divisions, the 9th Division, because of its experience in the Battle of Guanghuamen, was already demoralized when it learned that there were cadets in the Chinese army that had been killed, and now when it was heard that the division commander had committed suicide, the team immediately collapsed. Xiao Yi didn't expect this scene, he originally thought that when he killed Jing Shuxuan, there was also Akiyama Yoshiyo to completely plunge the 9th Division into chaos, who knew that the control of these two people over the troops was so poor, a real "rumor" was equivalent to directly erasing the existence of these two people.

Xiao Yi and the others had not yet found these two people, and the Japanese army's already crumbling right flank defense line began to crumble.

The officers and men of the 1st Jiangsu Security Division, the 3rd Xue Division, and the 26th Division suddenly had high morale, and they broke through the defense line of the 9th Division like a devastation, and then not only successfully joined the 103rd Division and the 117th Division that were besieged, but also drove the collapsed 9th Division into the middle line of the 6th Division's defense.

Gu Shoufu sat in the middle line, which had already been messed up by the tank division, and he was like a tinkerer who transferred people around to make up for the east and the west, and it was because of the pressure of the tank division's regrouping that he suddenly found that the right flank was defeated like a mountain, and he actually disrupted the order of the headquarters in one fell swoop, and was shocked, and called the staff officer in charge of liaison with the 9th Division and asked: "What's going on with the 9th Division?" What are the hillbillies in Mie Prefecture doing? ”

That staff officer had just received a telegram from a staff officer of the 9th Division, and was about to see it when he was called by Gu Shoufu. He presented the telegram directly and said, "Commander, the telegram just sent by the 9th Division, take a look." ”

Gu Shoufu glanced at it, and his originally squinted eyes immediately widened. He scolded: "Eight grids! "Three times five divided by two, and the telegram was torn to shreds. No wonder the 9th Division was defeated, it turned out that the hillbilly in Mie County actually committed suicide, remembering that it was precisely because he obtained the temporary command that the situation became so passive, the hatred in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said: "Yoshizu Ryosuke, a coward, who will not die sooner or later, actually retreats at this critical moment - Bage, hurry up!" ”

"Division commander, where to retreat, there are enemies everywhere."

"Eight grids, go to the 18th Division, only by meeting them, we can break out of the encirclement, once we are rushed up by the bastards of the 9th Division, we can't retreat."

"Hello!"

"Withdraw!"

The news of Ji Zhu Liangsuke's death soon reached Ouyang Yun's ears. At this moment, the commanders of the first line, such as Shan Xiong and Liu Yuqing, had already seen the fighters from the chaos presented by the 9th Division. Ouyang Yun is informing the whole army of this news, they have already commanded the troops to storm in, and the 9th Division was defeated in one fell swoop, and in one fell swoop, these unmotivated devils were squeezed into the front line of the 6th Division.

Although the 9th Division was defeated, there were still thousands of devils, and the 6th Division and the 18th Division combined had tens of thousands of troops. At this stage of the confrontation, although the battle losses of the garrison were far lighter than those of the Japanese army, it was impossible to eat these devils. Ouyang Yun immediately made a decision and ordered the right line and the central line troops to work together to take advantage of the opportunity of chasing the 9th Division to open the passage of the middle line in one fell swoop. At the same time, he ordered Li Han-hun, who was in charge of the left front, to suspend the pace of the attack, so that the two Japanese troops could have time to retreat into the front line of the 18th Division.

Ouyang Yun did this from the overall situation, wanting to end the battle as soon as possible, so as to gain time to retreat calmly before the next wave of air raids came. However, his vision has not been fully implemented. However, the Northeast Army, especially the officers and men of the 114th Division, had a considerable number of middle- and low-ranking officers who had gone out of their way because of new hatred and old hatred, and even followed the rout of the 9th Division and entered the main lineup of the 6th Division.

Since the suicide of Ryosuke Yoshizu, the winner of this battle has been decided. Before the start of the war, Liu Kui was nervous about Ouyang Yun's safety, and all the personnel of the guard regiment, as well as the staff officers and other officers directly under the army, were tightly guarding Ouyang Yun, and they refused to let even a fly in. At this time, seeing that the battle situation had shown a one-sided pattern, and the officers and soldiers of all units after the bloody battle showed a tiger and wolf atmosphere, he was a little moved, and proposed to Ouyang Yun that he should take this opportunity to train his brothers, replace them with companies as units, and let them participate in the work of cleaning up the battlefield of the 60th Division and the 121st Division, which can also increase a certain amount of battlefield experience.

This reason is not sufficient. Liu Kui's real idea is actually to want every brother under his command to get blood stained and slaughter a devil. Ouyang Yun looked at the surrounding situation and found that the casualties of all units were quite large, and the field hospital was already overstretched due to the shortage of manpower. And the devil wounded scattered all over the battlefield threatened the safety of these nurses and doctors all the time, so he not only agreed to Liu Kui's suggestion, but also ordered everyone, including himself, to immediately join in the work of cleaning up the battlefield.

Ouyang Yun really wanted to do something to help the field hospital, but how could Liu Kui, Liu Zheliang and others be willing to let him risk his life. In the end, his physical practice only made the fighters' fighting enthusiasm even higher.

Lin Baiyin and Wang Xu led their respective troops to drag behind the most, originally thinking that it would be inevitable to fight hard in the end, but they didn't expect the battle to finally go in such a direction. These two people entered the battlefield with the last one of the troops, and saw Ouyang Yun doing the work of cleaning the battlefield under the guard of a group of juniors, finding one or two wounded from time to time, and quickly took out a first-aid kit for first aid, or called for the military doctor to come and check; Of course, their main task is to collect guns and exterminate the devils who have been wounded or have fallen into a coma for some reason - from time to time, some devils are beheaded by a big knife, or some devils explode and want to shoot, but in the end they are beaten into a hornet's nest by the dense rain of bullets, their eyes can't help but become flickering, and what they think in their hearts is: After this battle, this young man has really become a decisive warlord.

According to Ouyang Yun's original intention, even if the brothers who died in the war could not be taken away, they should be buried in a centralized manner, so that they could give an explanation to the martyrs' families in the future. But the reality did not allow him to do this - the Battle of Wujiang was divided into three battles, of which the last one took the shortest time, but it was also the battle with the greatest losses for the warring parties.

At the beginning of the battle, the strength of the two sides was almost the same, both around 50,000. When the garrison army was all out of the battlefield, the three master regiments of the Japanese army began to reorganize the ranks, and in terms of the garrison, there were less than 40,000 of the 50,000 people left, while the Japanese army only had about 30,000 left, and it also lost a general at the level of division commander.

After taking over the defense of Nanjing, he ordered the Nanjing airport to be completely blown up. However, Shanghai is so close to Nanjing, and at the current average speed of a Japanese machine, it only takes an hour to go back and forth. After the two warring sides disengaged, the Japanese army did not withdraw, there was a huge enemy army staring at it, and the Japanese planes would soon return to the battlefield, Ouyang Yun could only give up this plan and choose to evacuate quickly.

The 40,000-strong troops, after Ouyang Yun discussed with Li Hansoul, Wu Keren and others, divided the troops into two routes, among them, the two divisions of the Northeast Army and the two divisions of the Central Department combined their troops to prepare to bypass Chuxian and go directly to Bengbu; The subordinate units of the Cadet Army, as well as the Jiangsu Security Division and the two Sichuan Divisions, joined forces and headed for Hefei.

The Sichuan army came to Nanjing on the order of the Military Commission, and because of this name, Liu Yuqing and Rao Guohua also wanted to follow Wu Keren and others to Bengbu, and then to Xuzhou, in response to the latest order of the Military Commission. However, after Ouyang Yun learned the news that Liu Xiang had died, the two accepted the invitation and decided to go to Fujian and Guangdong to rest first.

Ouyang Yun originally wanted to take the Xuzhou line, which was also decided before the Wujiang War. However, a telegram from the Military Council discouraged him from this idea.

On the telegram was an order personally issued by Lao Jiang, asking the student army to go to Xuzhou immediately to wait for Li Zongren's dispatch to meet the next battle of Xuzhou.

This telegram came so timely that Ouyang Yun and Li Hansoul and other senior officers of the Cadet Army had to be vigilant. A few days after the Battle of Nanjing, Ouyang Yun once sent a telegram to Lao Jiang asking for help in the name of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters. said that it was a telegram asking for help, but his request was actually very simple, just hoping that the lagging troops of the Central Army could slow down their retreat and wait for their troops to go up to complete the handover. However, three telegrams were sent in succession, but they were all like mud cows entering the sea. The towns on the way to the retreat of the garrison were surrendered to the Japanese one by one by the Central Army. This directly led to him having to evacuate Nanjing in advance, and to send the 10th School Division in advance to open up a retreat. I thought that the two sides had lost contact, but unexpectedly, this place was just out of the encirclement of the little devils, and the new order arrived. In this way, the one who has arrived in Hankou is actually paying attention to the battle situation in Nanjing all the time, and has the ability to obtain first-hand information, but why did he put on a posture that he had nothing to do with himself? It is not difficult to speculate on his intentions - at this time, the Japanese aircraft group that had already returned to Shanghai Airport to refuel and bombs caught up, Ouyang Yun immediately made a decision, directly ignored this order, and instead separated from Wu Keren and them, and entered Hefei.
