At the end of the First Battle of Heyuan, the 11th Wing of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army suffered heavy losses and lost more than 1,400 officers and men, which not only greatly thwarted the advance of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, but also greatly enhanced the confidence of all units of the 12th Group Army.

Many people couldn't help but exclaim: "It turns out that the 5th Division of the Japanese Army is not invincible!" ”
The myth of the strongest division of the Japanese army can be broken!
Commander-in-Chief of the 12th Army.
"Made! This battle is beautiful! ”
"Zhang Ruigui really picked up a cheap one this time!"
"You say it's really a bit evil, the brigade commander of the 512 Brigade of the Eighth Route Army doesn't stop wherever he goes, is he really a troublemaker?"
"This is a good thing, if you don't wait to see me, you know that this is the case, we need to make friends."
"Originally, the first part of our plan to encircle and kill the 5th Division of the Japanese Army was to take the initiative to evacuate Heyuan, and there has never been a good excuse.
"It's not like that, it was announced that Zhang Ruigui, the commander of the 63rd Army, was seriously injured and the command of the 63rd Army was paralyzed, so he withdrew from Heyuan, and the Japanese army will be convinced when they get the news."
At this moment, the officers of the General Headquarters of the 12th Group Army were really full of praise for the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and they also added three points of confidence to the next battle!
Commander-in-Chief Yu Hanmou was also excited when he got the information on the Heyuan battlefield at the first time, and said excitedly: "Okay, this battle is well done, this is the biggest victory of our army in the past few days since the naval battle and blocking battle of Daya Bay, which can be described as the excitement of the whole army!" I want to ask for credit for the 63rd Army and the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army! ”
Commander-in-Chief Yu Hanmou's words, no one objected.
If you win a battle, shouldn't you ask for credit?
In fact, just as Yu Hanmou said, since the 15th of this month, the 12th Group Army has been passive everywhere and constrained by the Japanese army on various battlefields such as Heyuan and Huizhou, and the morale of the whole army has been sluggish for a while, and there are deep worries about whether it can hold Guangzhou.
However, the current victory of annihilating more than 1,400 enemies can really give a shot in the arm to the whole army with low morale, and it is no less than a great victory of annihilating tens of thousands of enemies!
After a short stay, Yu Hanmou said again: "Chief of Staff, immediately spread the news of this victory to the whole army!" ”
Hearing this, the chief of the general staff of the 12th Group Army was quite complaining in his heart and was very resistant.
It can be said that without the support of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the 63rd Army Special Service Regiment would have been wiped out, and Zhang Ruigui, the commander of the 63rd Army, would not have escaped death
The most important thing is that the plan to encircle and kill the 5th Division of the Japanese Army will be aborted in advance.
If this plan fails, the whole of Guangdong will also fall!
In this Heyuan battle, the 512 Brigade of the Eighth Route Army played an extremely important role, if the participant in this battle is a car, then the 512 Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is the engine of this car, without the 512 Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, how can this victory come from!
The reason is clear, but the Chief of the General Staff least wants to see this!
In his heart, he longed for the annihilation of the 512 Brigade of the Eighth Route Army!
Yu Hanmou focused his eyes on the chief of the general staff, and said lightly: "I hope you won't let me down this time, just what should be going on, do you understand?" ”
The Chief of the General Staff immediately reassured: "Please rest assured, the commander-in-chief, and the humble will understand!" ”

General Headquarters of the 21st Army of the Japanese Army.
After receiving the news of the heavy damage of the 11th Wing, the entire headquarters suddenly fell into a dead silence, and everyone could not believe what they had heard.
"This is certainly not true, how can the 11th Wing suffer a heavy blow!"
"This is a disgrace, this is a disgrace to my 21st Army!"
"The 5th Division, isn't it known as my Great Day ~ the strongest division in this empire?"
"The commander of the 11th Wing, Takahashi Bejie, should be fully responsible for the defeat of this battle, if he hadn't besieged and not attacked, the iron cavalry of our 21st Army would have already entered Heyuan City!"
"Takahashi should commit suicide by seppuku to atone for his sins!"
Hearing the words of the audience, the face of the commander of the 21st Army of the Japanese Army, Guzhuang Ganlang, was also blue and white, which was extremely ugly.
Since the 21st Army followed the strategy of attacking Guangdong set by the base camp, all units of the 21st Army have always believed that this is a low-hanging fruit, and everyone believes that the end of this battle will not last half a month, and it will be unusually smooth.
However, since landing in Daya Bay on October 12, it is now at Little Turtle Island in the waters of Daya Bay, losing the vanguard troops and the Sichuan detachment, and in less than two hours, they were completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army;
Later, it clashed with the British First Fleet in Hong Kong in the waters of Daya Bay, which not only completely offended the British, but also caused the Japanese ~ This government is now trying its best to negotiate with the British government, and once the negotiations collapse, Britain and Japan are very likely to start an all-out war.
Moreover, the 5th Fleet of the Navy also suffered heavy losses, and almost all the warships were sunk. At the same time, the 18th Division and the 104th Division also lost thousands of troops, and the 18th Division and Lieutenant General Na Chengyi have not yet been decided.
In addition, from October 12th to October 15th, the fierce fighting for more than three consecutive days caused the Japanese 21st Army to lose more than 13,000 people, and the 18th Division and the 104th Division completely lost their sharpness.
The entire Guangdong campaign became extremely difficult.
Now the 5th Division, which he relies on the most, and the 11th Wing under his command has also been severely damaged, which is no less than a huge earthquake, which is enough to shake the entire Japanese ~ base camp.
Thinking of this, Commander Guzhuang Ganlang's heart was extremely cold, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of fate would greet him once the Guangdong battle failed!
Now all his hopes are bet on the 5th Division, and if the 5th Division can break through Heyuan and then take Guangzhou, then everything has room for redemption.
Guzhuang Ganlang immediately said in a deep voice: "Now pass on my order, order the 5th Division, at all costs, immediately launch a strong attack on Heyuan, and be sure to completely take the entire Heyuan today!" ”
"Hey!"
~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~
The 5th Division of the Japanese Army.
Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, the commander of the division, said coldly: "My 5th Division, since 918, has it suffered a defeat on the battlefield in China? Which time was not a sweep of China ~ the army? How could he have lost more than 1,400 officers and soldiers like this today? ”
"This is a great shame that has never been seen since the formation of the division!"
For a time, all the Japanese officers in the entire command headquarters were blushing because of the boundless anger, and everyone's hearts were filled with a huge cloud of anger, which was enough to burn the heavens and the earth!
Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, the commander of the division, said sharply: "Now I order, all units immediately launch a strong attack on the Chinese ~ army in Heyuan, and before the sun sets today, the outer positions of Heyuan must be taken!" ”
"Hey!"
At that moment, a group of Japanese officers responded with a loud voice.
Ten minutes later, the order of the division commander, Lieutenant General Ando Toshiyoshi, was completely issued to all units of the 5th Division.
11th Wing of the Japanese Army.
Wing Commander Takahashi Bejie roared angrily: "Although my 11th Wing has suffered heavy losses and has less than 2,000 combat personnel, the dignity that my 11th Wing has lost in China needs to be washed away with countless blood!" Gentlemen, are you willing to fight to the death with my Takahashi Steps? ”
"I am willing to fight to the death with the Captain!"
A group of Japanese officers sent out all their strength from their chests!
The shame of blood must be paid for with blood!
At the same time, the 12th Wing, 21st Wing, and 22nd Wing of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army all formed death squads and launched a comprehensive assault on the 63rd Army of Heyuan!
The incomparably sharp attack, the 63rd Army of the 12th Army, which was completely defeated, suffered extremely heavy losses, losing 5 positions in a row in just one hour, and this number is still increasing.
For a time, the entire Heyuan battlefield was completely plunged into a fierce battle!
The entire Heyuan battlefield has become a world full of blood and fire!
~~~~~~~
October 20, 1938, 5 p.m.
The 63rd Army of the 12th Group Army, stationed in Heyuan, began to withdraw from Heyuan, which means that the entire 15,800 square kilometers of Heyuan fell into the hands of the Japanese army!
Brigade headquarters of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.
Ouyang glanced at dozens of senior commanders such as Wang Yaqiao, Liu Tongluo, Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong, Zhou Weiguo, Jiang Daya, Long Dagu, and Yang Zhihua.
Ouyang said in a deep voice: "The truly incomparably cruel battle is about to begin!" It should be when we and other Chinese ~ soldiers sacrifice their lives to serve the motherland, have you ever prepared for a desperate battle! ”
"Always be ready!"
Suddenly, everyone present shouted incomparably!
The Great War is about to begin!
A big war that will decide the fate of Guangdong, a big war related to China's national fortunes, a big war that will shock China and foreign countries, will start today!
Ouyang shouted: "Now that the most severe moment has come, the fate of my 40,000,000 descendants of Yan and Huang will all be in our hands!" ”
"The myth of the invincibility of the 5th Division of the little devils will be broken by our own hands!"
