Chapter 278: The Ishihara Brigade is in an emergency on all fronts
September 10, 1938, 7:55 a.m. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Ishihara Brigade, all the commanders were horrified!
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, a large number of Eighth Route Army has been found on the right flank of our army's position, and the number is more than a thousand!"
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the left flank of our army has found a large number of enemy troops, and they are carrying a large number of heavy weapons!"
"The strength of the enemy in the rear of our army is more than 7,000 people!"
For a time, all the Japanese officers were shocked by the current battle situation!
The Japanese army, which was once rampant and invincible, were all terrified, and now they are facing a predicament that they have never had before!
"Damn!"
"This is a desperate situation!"
"Our army only has more than 3,700 people, on the other hand, the strength of the Eighth Route Army is at least more than 13,000, and our army has now been completely surrounded!"
"The situation is not optimistic!"
"Brigade commander, please give an order immediately, and our troops should break through immediately!"
At this moment, the brigade commander Kenji Ishihara was also sweating profusely, and the development of the situation had completely exceeded his expectations, and the number of people and combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army far exceeded his expectations.
In the face of the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army on all sides, it is bound to break through at this moment, and there will be heavy casualties, and there will be no one out of ten.
On the contrary, if you stick to waiting for help, there is a glimmer of life.
This glimmer of life lies in whether the Hiromoto Wing and the Matsumoto Brigade can arrive in a very short time.
Suddenly, three messages in quick succession completely shattered Kenji Ishihara's last illusion.
"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, Guangben Dazuo called, Guangben Wing was completely blocked by the Zhou Weiguo Department of the Eighth Route Army, as well as the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division, and is currently fighting fiercely with the enemy!"
"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the commander of the Matsumoto Brigade has called, the Matsumoto Brigade is currently fighting fiercely with the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and it is impossible to rush to reinforcements!"
"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, our army's airfield was destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, all fighters were burned, and all aircraft reinforcements were lost!"
At this moment, Kenji Ishihara, who was in front of Mount Tai and did not change his face, was also completely crazy.
Reinforcements?
Reinforce?
Not anymore!
Victory?
Exterminate the Taihang Mountain White Tiger Column?
Now it seems to be a complete joke!
In only two days, the Ishihara Brigade before the departure had 8,684 people, and now 2,326 people have been killed, and the number of light and serious wounded is more than 1,000 people
The only thing that can be done is to break through! Breakthrough!
Suddenly, Kenji Ishihara thought of a reinforcement - Du Biao's puppet army security regiment in Baiqu City.
Immediately, the captain of the Japanese army Sato was also pleasantly surprised: "That's right, we still have reinforcements, as long as Commander Du Biao can lead his troops to arrive within 6 hours, cooperate with our troops to fight, and cut a hole in the encirclement, we will definitely be able to break through!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he immediately gave all the Japanese officers a shot of chicken blood, which greatly boosted their morale.
There is still hope for us, we are not in a desperate situation, this is just a small bump in the road we have encountered, and we will definitely be able to overcome it!
But at this moment, a piece of information from Baiqu City completely made the Japanese army who had just boosted their morale crazy!
Du Biao, the commander of the puppet legion, led the entire security regiment, and all of them were reversed!
Long before the Ishihara Brigade entered Taihang Mountain, the big brother of Beihongmen had secretly contacted Du Biao and used force as a threat, coupled with the persuasion of the iron-clad old man Du, Du Biao finally made up his mind.
Du Biao, the commander of the puppet legion, gritted his teeth and said: "He is Guangben Toyota, treats Lao Tzu as a pug, does not treat Lao Tzu as a person, and allows others to enslave, then I also want to let the little devil take a look, uncle, I also have backbone, this dog ~ day ~ , Lao Tzu will not serve today!" ”
At this moment, the hearts of all the Japanese officers sank to the bottom!
Now it's really completely isolated.
"Bang!"
The brigade commander, Kenji Ishihara, stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, today Ishihara Brigade has fallen into a desperate situation that I have never had, my dignified big day ~ This imperial army was actually played by a group of peasants and beggars of the Eighth Route Army, and now, we can only fight to the death to repay His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
"It's better to be broken than to be complete!"
As soon as these words came out, all the Japanese officers immediately turned their eyes red.
Rampantness, arrogance, and pride have all been rewarded!
At this moment, there is only a way to survive by fighting to the death!
Ishihara Kenji pulled out his command knife and shouted: "Now I order, all the imperial warriors of the Ishihara Brigade to immediately launch a counterattack on the Eighth Route Army and break through from the right flank of our army!" ”
"Hey!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the Eighth Route Army's counteroffensive was completely launched!
"Jing Kang is ashamed, and it is still snowing."
"When will the courtiers hate."
"Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain."
"Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood."
"Stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky.!"
Ouyang roared: "Now I order, all departments immediately launch a counteroffensive, swear to destroy the Japanese invaders, and never die!" Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The battle broke out!
The position of our artillery regiment has now moved forward to the best place.
Long Dagu shouted: "Now I order, immediately carry out a comprehensive covering bombardment of the Japanese position, and the shells will all be beaten to the death!" ”
"Fire!"
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Suddenly, dozens of cannons all let out a huge roar, like a thunderstorm in the nine heavens, and the sound was monstrous!
One by one, the shells exploded on the Japanese position, and in an instant, the entire Japanese position turned into a huge sea of fire.
Once upon a time, we were also bombed like this, and today we are fighting, vowing to be ashamed and raise our eyebrows!
Sun Desheng held his saber high and shouted: "Cavalry company, attack, attack!" ”
The Brotherhood of Fury, 2 Tiger Heavy Tanks, 3 Weasel armored vehicles, are also roaring in anger, mercilessly crushing the Japanese positions, and any enemies and obstacles in their way will be ruthlessly destroyed!
Jiang Daya's 2nd Regiment, Liu Tongluo's 1st Regiment, Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment, and Wang Hongkun's 385th Brigade attacked from all sides, with all troops, totaling 13,000 people, all thrown into battle!
Vows to annihilate the Ishihara Brigade in one battle!
~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~
By 12 o'clock in the morning, the battle had been going on for four hours!
As the battle continued to escalate and become more and more intense, our four-way army repelled the Japanese army 12 times in a row, and annihilated more than 3,000 Japanese troops.
The Ishihara Brigade, the only few hundred people left, all wounded, were all cowering on their positions at the moment, carrying out the last and ineffective resistance!
"Stop attacking!"
At this moment, Ouyang suddenly gave an order to stop the attack.
Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao said: "Commander, the division headquarters is calling, let us persuade the Japanese army to surrender!" ”
"Uh~~~~!" Ouyang.
The division commander's order, how dare Ouyang disobey and disobey the military order, it is a taboo in the army.
At that moment, Ouyang made a decision to personally go to the front line of the battle, shout to the Japanese army, and persuade the Japanese army to surrender.
In fact, Ouyang did not have a glimmer of hope in his heart, although the Japanese army was rampant, but they were also very proud, they were deeply poisoned by the "bushido spirit", and they had already put their own lives out of the way.
During the entire War of Resistance Against Japan, especially in the early stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan, both the Eighth Route Army and the National~Army paid a heavy price in order to be able to capture a Japanese prisoner.
During the Battle of Xuzhou, a battalion commander of the National~Army carried a half-dead Japanese wounded soldier on his back and was about to be sent to the first-aid station.
Another communicator was collecting the telephone line when he found a wounded Japanese soldier lying under the car, seriously wounded, moaning incessantly. The messenger pulled out gauze and tried to bind him, but the wounded soldier raised his hand and stabbed the messenger in the abdomen.
It can be seen from this that the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army has reached such a point that it is difficult to capture prisoners, let alone make them surrender.
In the Battle of Xuzhou, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers were killed, but none of them were captured.
As far as Ouyang knew, in the more than a year of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the entire Eighth Route Army had only captured one Japanese prisoner.
In 1937, during the victory of Pingxingguan, the commander of the 686th Regiment of the 115th Division, Chen Shiqu (founding general), personally captured alive the first Japanese prisoner during the War of Resistance against Japan.
Jiang Daya, the commander of the Second Regiment, said: "Commander, with my understanding of the Japanese army, Kenji Ishihara will definitely not surrender. ”
"Persuading them to surrender is simply a waste of time, and once the Japanese army's will to die is completely aroused, our army will sacrifice more soldiers if it wants to destroy them, which is a loss-making deal!"
"Hey!"
Ouyang also sighed and shook his head, Jiang Daya's meaning, he didn't know what he meant, but this was an order from the division headquarters.
At the same time, he can also understand the orders of the division headquarters.
"The Eighth Route Army treats prisoners preferentially!"
This is not just a slogan, but the policy resolutely implemented by the Eighth Route Army, in the eyes of the party-state ~ army, and many people, this decision is very pedantic.
However, by the time of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, this slogan had already changed qualitatively, and when the Japanese army was in trouble, there were really many people who began to give up resistance and surrender to our army!
This move will be very beneficial to our army's later operations!
The second update is sent, and the third is open!
