Chapter 50: The Decisive Battle (13)

Okuichiro originally wanted to learn from the army, but now it seems that it was his subordinates who were the first to be killed by him. Of course, the bomber group that took off on the Canglong aircraft carrier was so unbearable that he was swept away by Kura Atsuhime.

The Japanese are shabu with each other, and it is the student army that takes advantage of this.

The 9th Division, under the leadership of Okuichiro, played the Fourth Army with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, which made the officers and soldiers of the former devils, who were originally very afraid of the Scholar Army, also rise in their long-lost self-confidence. As for those newly incorporated devils, the direct "imperial army temperament" appeared, and no one began to look at them.

Kazuo Hugi was one of the high-ranking officers who had always kept a clear head, and he had always maintained a prudent attitude, which earned him the respect of the chief of staff, Yoshizuojun. Ji Zuojun is now a little admired by him, and he even feels that even in the face of such a dangerous environment, the wing commander should come up with a feasible way to help the troops out of danger. He respectfully asked, "Your Excellency, what should we do now?" ”

Kazuo Hugi was actually very angry in his heart at this time, and this anger was directed at Okuichiro. Although he didn't know what Okuichiro did this for, one thing was for sure, and that was that the 36th Wing had been abandoned. In the Japanese army, where the concept of registration is particularly strict, his anger can not be put on his face, he can only suppress it deeply, which makes him want to be angry, and the tone of his speech is not very good, he almost roared and said: "Immediately go and ask Yamado Heio, what is going on with their 19th Wing, how can they let the 12th Division escape?!" Didn't he know that the 11th Division of the Sniper Division of our wing did not have an advantage in terms of troops? ”

Hirao Yamado soon sent a call back, and in the callback, he directly explained the situation in Wong Chuk Keng.

Seeing this telegram, Ji Zuojun said to Kazuo Huki: "Your Excellency, it seems that our prediction is correct, and the encirclement of the 12th Division is really only one of the 19th Wing. What are we going to do? ”

Kazuo Xiu Mu said calmly: "Prepare the jade crush!" ”

Ji Zuojun replied particularly loudly: "Hai! ”

"Call Yoshino and allow them to move closer to the command. We are going to launch a counteroffensive, we have to be completely entangled with the Chinese people, and at that time, we will ask the divisional artillery to cover us. I don't know exactly what Commander Lu Dao wants to do, but it must be a big deal, and that's all we can do for him. ”

"Hello!"

Under his command, the Japanese troops on the front line first slowly retreated towards the headquarters location, then regrouped at the edge of the headquarters, and then launched a counteroffensive.

The attack was surprisingly smooth at the beginning, which inevitably caused the officers and men of the 11th Division and the 12th Division to feel proud, and everyone had a feeling of raising their eyebrows. The officers and men of these two divisions participated in the Battle of Nanjing, and in that battle, it can be said that they suffered all the hardships of the little devils, and at the beginning of this battle, they were led by the nose by Okuichiro, which can be said to be holding their breath. Now, after the 36th Wing's position has been smashed devastatingly, all the officers and men inevitably have the heart to underestimate the enemy.

The formation of the 19th Wing of the Japanese Army was too scattered, and the defensive position was built with the squadron as the specification. This arrangement was originally intended to cooperate with the aviation for area suppression, but now, in the absence of aviation support, in the face of the enemy's superior forces, this arrangement of Yamado Heio is more like using the tactic of refueling. After intercepting the two squadrons between the 11th and 12th Divisions were annihilated, Heio Yamado wanted to concentrate his superior forces to attack, but the 12th Division had already jumped out of their preset encirclement and successfully joined forces with the 11th Division at both ends of Xiaohuangdan Village.

The war went smoothly, perhaps because it was too smooth, which aroused the suspicions of Jiang Guangnai, Rao Guohua and Liao Mingfeng. After Rao Guohua and Jiang Guangnai met, he put forward his own opinion: "Could this be a trap for the Japanese, how can there be a feeling of thunder and lightning and heavy rain, if they want to encircle and annihilate the 12th Division with these two troops alone, it is simply, it is a joke!" ”

Jiang Guangnai couldn't figure it out, he seriously recalled the scene before the battle began, and said: "Could it be that the Japanese are diverting the tiger from the mountain, they deliberately made a big battle here with us, but in fact, the real goal is to learn from the Tenth Division." ”

"It's entirely possible, so we'd better report to the commander-in-chief quickly."

"Well, let the Tenth Division not rush to get closer to us, it is very likely that the Japanese have set up an ambush in front."

"We also have to get rid of the entanglement of these two Japanese armies, and go to rendezvous with the ten divisions as soon as possible, if the Japanese army really has a trap in front, then gather the strength of our three divisions to crush him in one fell swoop!"

"Okay, that's it, then, after you leave one regimental hall, the others will rush over immediately."

Just when Jiang Guangnai and Rao Guohua made a decision not to entangle with the 19th and 36th Wings, but to move closer to the 10th Division with all their might, Kazuo Xiu Mu had already issued an order for a counterattack. The Japanese army, which had just assembled about three and a half brigades, threw themselves into a counteroffensive, and in the southeast direction of Xiaohuangdan, the officers and men of the 34th Brigade of Xue, who had not yet received Rao Guohua's order to retreat, were immediately entangled by these devils, and the two sides began a tragic fight.

The brigade commander of the 34th Brigade is Meng Haoran, when Rao Guohua's order came to him, his troops were already completely entangled with the devil, if he ordered to retreat at this time, then it would be the fate of the rout, so he could only report the situation truthfully, saying: In order to evacuate the battlefield more safely for the brother troops, then their brigade should stay and annihilate this devil.

Rao Guohua had no choice but to agree to his request, and then took the 35th Brigade and the 36th Brigade as the vanguard and moved in the direction of Wotou.

Recessed head. After receiving the telegram from Kazuo Shugi, Okuichiro looked at his watch and found that the agreed time for the attack on the 10th Division was not far away, so he pondered for a while and agreed to his request. The "Cloud Hunting Plan" he formulated was originally destined to be sacrificed, but he didn't expect such a huge sacrifice.

With a wing of imperial troops to accompany Ouyang Yun for the funeral, this Ouyang Yun's life is really valuable! However, as long as Ouyang Yun can be killed, this sacrifice is still worth it - Okuichiro thought about it so and sent it to the 9th Artillery Wing, which was five kilometers away, so that the wing commander Miyoshi Kihei Daisa accepted the dispatch of Kazuo Huki, and was ready to carry out indiscriminate shelling of Xiao Huangtan at any time.

At first, Miyoshi Kihei thought it was a mistake by the communications staff officer and sent this telegram by mistake, but he sent another telegram to confirm it, and after receiving the confirmation, he prepared for the shelling with trepidation.

Indiscriminate shelling will not be used as a last resort, because it would mean that both warring sides on the battlefield will be targeted.

There is still a wing of imperial troops on the battlefield of Xiaohuangdan, the commander is really ruthless! Miyoshi Kihei speculated like this, and he couldn't help but feel a deep fear of Okuichiro in his heart.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the shelling began, and at this time, most of the 11th and 12th Divisions had already left Xiaohuangdan nearly five miles away, and they were in a straight line between the Japanese artillery array and the Xiaohuangdan battlefield. Suddenly there was a strange roar of sharp cannonballs tearing through the air in the sky, and then, hundreds of fireballs flew over their heads at a speed that was only visible to the naked eye - hearing the sound of cannons, many low-level officers instinctively ordered them all to lie down, while Jiang Guangnai, Rao Guohua and Liao Mingfeng all changed their faces drastically. They were particularly experienced on the battlefield, and they immediately realized what the little devil had done.

Rao Guohua suddenly shouted to the communications staff officer as if he was crazy: "Call Brigade Commander Meng immediately and ask them to withdraw quickly, hurry, hurry, hurry!" Ge Laozi, you are dead?! ”

The communications staff officer didn't react at all, he had already slapped him aside, and then he nervously grabbed the microphone, tuned to the channel of the 34th Brigade, and shouted: "Meng Haoran, you listen to me, retreat for me immediately!" Retreat, hear no, retreat immediately-" "Boom ......" he didn't finish his words, behind his car, a dazzling light suddenly flashed, and the next moment, one mushroom cloud after another rose into the air, and then the explosion reached everyone's ears.

Rao Guohua let go of the send button, and there was a rustling blind sound when the headset ried, he yelled to stop, then opened the car door and rushed down, looking at the scene behind him, he closed his eyes in pain, and roared for a long time: "Ge Laozi, Lao Tzu is a brother of a brigade!" ”

This round of artillery bombardment by the Japanese army was particularly fierce, lasting more than ten minutes, and what the ten-minute shelling of nearly 100 cannons of various types meant to the target place, Rao Guohua knew what he could do with his ass.

"Fuck, that's crazy!" Jiang Guangnai had also gotten out of the car, and he looked at the smoke billowing with a pale face, the flames burning, and the little yellow dan battlefield that continued to explode, and suddenly became very afraid. If they hadn't decided to march towards the concave head just now, but stayed where they were to clear the 36th Wing, then it wasn't just the 34th Brigade that was shelled now, right?!

The effect of this shelling was earth-shaking, and this round of shelling was only the beginning, because the round of shelling stopped for only five minutes and immediately sounded again, and this time the target was the 10th Division, which was two kilometers northwest of Wotou.

The 10th Division had been marching rapidly in the direction of Wong Chuk Keng, and since they entered the Wotou area, they had already been calculated by the Japanese army.

When Jiang Guangnai formulated the plan for dividing troops to lure the enemy, he ignored an important factor, that is, the artillery of the 9th Division. When Okuichiro led his troops to fight in a roundabout way, he did not carry heavy artillery, but the 9th Artillery Wing of the Ministry actually had two brigades of heavy artillery units. The heavy artillery of these two brigades was hidden by Okuichiro in the Golden Bamboo Pit. Okuichiro's original intention was indeed to ensure the flexibility of the troops, so he hid this team, but now, the heavy artillery of these two brigades has become the sharpest chess pieces in his hands.

This round of artillery bombardment by the Japanese army brought great casualties to the 10th Division. Caught off guard, the 403rd and 408th regiments of the 10th Division, which were located in the area covered by Japanese artillery, suffered heavy losses and almost all of them were wiped out.

In just five minutes, there were two regiments missing from the Tenth Division, and in the face of such a cruel reality, Ouyang Yun and Liu Yuqing realized that they had been fooled.
