Chapter 11: Wild Supplement (43)

Sensing that the Japanese army was trying to leave, the 31st Army immediately took corresponding action, and the sea was forced to march, and the gods appeared on the east bank of the Mingjiang River like a divine soldier, which frightened the Japanese troops in the city of Mingzhou. Because the Sakurada Takeshi Guards Brigade attacked Quang Ninh and took away the main force, the Japanese army remaining in the Zuojiang area only had three infantry brigades, which were also distributed in Pingxiang, Ningming and Longzhou. Suddenly, a powerful opponent appeared on the opposite river, opposite to him, even if he was as strong as the Japanese army, he couldn't help but panic. The Japanese troops in Mingzhou City had the heart to ask for help from Nakamura Akito, who was confronting the French army in Liangshan, knowing that far water could not quench the thirst of the near, and if there were no reinforcements, they would not be able to resist the opposite army with one of their own infantry brigades. Fortunately, the water surface of the Mingjiang River is very wide, and September is the typhoon season, and a rainstorm will cause the water level to rise sharply, and it is unlikely that the other side will take a forced attack, so the Japanese troops in Mingzhou City are a little relieved. Hai Jingqiang was not in a hurry to attack, so he tied up the barracks, transferred out the two Krubers directly under the division, and the muzzles of the black hole were facing the west bank, and the gun barrels could be directly aimed at the Japanese artillery towers opposite.

The reason why Hai Jingqiang was in a hurry before, rushed to the Ming River at the speed of a rapid march, and then did not move after arriving at the Ming River, was because he had been prepared in advance, and he was in the chest, first of all, he received a telegram from Zhao Guolong, chief of staff of the 131st Division, Zhao Guolong had personally led a main force regiment, crossed the mountains from Shangjin, and went south along the west side of the Mingjiang River, according to the estimate of the commander of the 131st Division, Xiao Division, got up early and felt dark, and could arrive in one day, but the local guide said that if you don't bring a heavy weight and march lightly, you can go around the mountain road from behind Huashan, and it shouldn't take a day. It will be in place in half a day. If it is really as the guide said, tomorrow at noon, Zhao Guolong will be able to rush to Hexi and launch an attack on the capital city of Mingzhou, where Ningming County is located. The second is that Hai Jingqiang himself is not weak, he took the main force of the division to show off his might in the east of the Ming River, and secretly sent a main force regiment under the leadership of Huang Yingyi, a local student of the 16th Infantry Department of the Central Military Academy, to cross the Mingjiang River from the upper reaches and go around to the south of Mingzhou City. Hedong also put on a posture of forced crossing, not worrying about the Ming River. The most important thing is that Zhou Tong, the younger brother of General Zhou Yuan, who died in the Battle of Xuzhou on May 9, 1938, led the local peasant army to infiltrate the capital city of Mingzhou as an internal response.

Huang Yingyi is the seventh brother of Huang Tianhua, he took this regiment, retreated to Mingjiang Town, found a ferry to cross the river smoothly, and went around to Banzhai Village in the south of the city to stay. He told the people in the village in the local dialect that the military situation was like fire, everyone was only allowed to enter and not leave, and everyone cooperated for one day, and tomorrow everything will be as usual. The village chief of Banzhai Village is a good friend of Huang Yingyi's second brother Huang Guangguang, patted Huang Yingyi on the shoulder and said, I promise that I will not make a mistake, and let people kill pigs and ducks to eat first. Banzhai Village is near the river, and the villagers have several fishing boats, and the village chief said that as soon as it starts tomorrow, he will let the villagers support the boats to cross the river and pull the army from Jiangdong over.

The battle was started by Zhao Guolong, who arrived in the north of the city yesterday afternoon, found a place to rest for a while, set off before dawn, and went to the north of the city under the guidance of his guide. This is the logistics guard of the Japanese army, and the Bo'ai Clinic in Ningming County has become the rear hospital of the Japanese army to prevent emptiness. Zhao Guolong decided to take advantage of the darkness to take these places, take them for himself, and then attack the Japanese military stronghold.

Zhao Guolong's greedy move inadvertently discovered that the Japanese army in Mingzhou Mansion was not a simple infantry brigade, there was also a Japanese army logistics base here, and the logistics base of the entire Fifth Division was not in Longzhou or Pingxiang, but in this inconspicuous Mingzhou City.

As soon as he entered the city, he fell into Zhou Tong's eyeliner, and when he had just taken the logistics hospital, Zhou Tong came to the front. When the middle-aged man dressed as a farmer introduced himself as General Zhou Yuan's own brother, Zhao Guolong subconsciously gave the other party a very formal salute, making the farmer in a hurry. With the assistance of Zhou Tong, Zhao Guolong controlled all the logistics areas in the north of the city, but at this time he found that because there were too many prisoners, so that the troops were seriously scattered, in addition to the vigilant, there was less than one battalion left that could fight, this battalion, if the attack was launched from the north of the city, I was afraid that it would not be able to withstand the full counterattack of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army could hit the north of the city with three strikes and five divisions.

Zhao Guolong thought for a while and said to Colonel Chen Cun, the commander of the 391st Regiment: "Change places to feint." ”

Colonel Chen Cun thought for a moment, realized it, and asked, "Does the chief of staff mean to lure the Japanese troops away and not let them attack the north of the city?" ”

Zhao Guolong nodded.

Chen Cun laughed and said, "The chief of staff has a cool trick, I accept it!" I immediately took a battalion to the west of the city and launched a feint attack on the west side of the city. ”

Zhao Guolong knew that because his qualifications were too shallow, he had not been recognized by the four regiment commanders under the 131st Division, and the commander of the 392nd Regiment, Colonel Wu Zhan, and the commander of the 393rd Regiment, Colonel Qin Zewen, gave some face, at least they would not collide with each other in person. In particular, Liao Guojiang, the commander of the Field Supplement Regiment, didn't look at himself directly, thinking that as a junior student of the Central Military Academy, he was able to climb his head to the top to be the chief of staff. Since Chen Cun said this, it means that he recognized himself from the bottom of his heart.

After a short time, I heard dense gunfire from the west of the city, and soon, I heard the gathering of Japanese troops in the city, followed by the exchange of fire between the two sides. At this time, the 561st Regiment in the south of the city also launched a fierce attack. The Japanese army immediately divided its forces to the south. Zhou Tong asked his people to pile up a few piles of firewood in the north of the city, and immediately pressed a few wet branches on them after lighting them, and the open flames from the firewood immediately turned into billowing smoke.

When the fishing boats of Banzhai Village drove to Jiangdong, Hai Jingqiang asked the 562nd Regiment to get on the boat and cross directly to the opposite river to attack.

Faced by the enemy on all sides, although the Japanese army was fierce, after all, it was only an infantry brigade of less than 1,000 people, with one enemy and five, it soon fell into passivity, retreated to several strongholds such as the post and telecommunications bureau and the county government, and was surrounded by the 188th division.

Hai Jingqiang came to the stronghold of the Japanese army's stubborn resistance, and was a little helpless against the Japanese soldiers who were sticking to the house. At this time, Zhao Guolong also arrived, stood in front of Hai Jingqiang and saluted, and shouted: "Chief Hai." Hai Jingqiang smiled and pulled down Zhao Guolong's hand and said: "Guolong, I know that you are the chief of staff of the 131st Division, but I really didn't expect that this little follower who will never leave the sky will become a general!" Zhao Guolong smiled, he had seen Hai Jingqiang many times, and he didn't know how many times he handed tea and poured water, so he was very familiar. He said, "What is the captain going to do with these last few Japanese?" ”

"Don't be the head of the sea, the name of the head of the sea is as if I am old, and in the future, I will be invincible to your boss, call me Brother Hai, or Brother Yuming." Hai actually pulled Zhao Guolong to stand beside him and said: "I'm a little reluctant to build this house in the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, it's a good little western-style building, it's a pity that it was blown up." ”

Zhao Guolong said with a smile: "The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come, I took the entire logistics base bit by bit, and I can compensate for this building!" ”

Hai Jingqiang asked a little surprised: "Chengbei is on fire, aren't you setting fire to the base?" ”

"That's burning garbage." Zhou Tong's words came from behind him.

The three laughed.

At this time, two Krubers were also transported across the Ming River and placed less than 200 meters away from the Japanese army, with their muzzles flat. Both sides of the war are focused on this place, the attacker wants to see the effect, and the defender is a little flustered. I only heard two loud bangs, and when I looked at it, the smoke and dust cleared, and the small building of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau collapsed a small half of the wall. At the moment when the wall fell, the commander of the 563rd Regiment stretched out his hand and waited for the surrounding soldiers to rush up, and * raindrops fell on the courtyard of the post and telecommunications office, and the strong smell of gunpowder smoke made people breathless. Hai Jingqiang, who knew the ending, didn't want to see the Shura field, so he took Zhao Guolong's hand and said, "Let's go to the river, it's too uncomfortable here, stay for a while, the muogers are all nitrate." ”

Taking Ningming, the whole line was pressing, Nakamura Akito was a little angry, and told his subordinates that if the Chinese army went further west, he would withdraw his troops from Lang Son and fight with the 31st Army in Pingxiang for 30 rounds. Maybe it was because he knew what Nakamura Akito thought, but after Ning Ming, the 31st Army did not move, but froze. He Weizhen, deputy commander of the 31st Army, accompanied by Wei Zhen, commander of the 188th Division, came to Ningming and said a reason not to continue the offensive: let the 46th Army make some more cheap on the Yongqin line!

Last time, the 175th Division not only did not take advantage of Jiuniuling, but was also beaten ugly, all because of the planes at Nanning Airport. However, because of this operation, the aircraft fuel reserves at Nanning Airport were also consumed to the lowest point, and the subsequent aircraft escorts basically ran out of fuel. The most terrible thing is that during the transportation of supplementary fuel, Chen Zhengxin recognized the iron bucket filled with oil, asked the sniper to leak the iron bucket, and used the hand cannon to ignite the oil leaking on the ground, and a transport brigade turned into a fire dragon. In August and September, Chen Zhengxin could let go of transporting other things, only fuel, and Chen Zhengxin would get rid of it even if he was desperate for the dead. The plane without fuel has become a hen in the nest, and the routine take-off and inspection of Kunlun Pass every day does not know when it will stop, and the pilots of Nanning Airport play cards and chess in the shade of the trees every day, doing nothing. Some intelligence officers had already spread the news, and Zhou Zuhuang decided to cut off the Yongqin Highway again, not allowing any means of transport to pass through, and not allowing any materials to be sent to Yongning.

The main force of this operation was Wang Jingsong's 170th Division.

Accompanying the operation were artillery regiments and special service regiments directly under the army.

Since the Xiaodong stronghold was eliminated for the second time, the Japanese army changed its transportation strategy, they no longer used sectional transportation, but with an infantry brigade, a transport brigade, divided into three days from the beginning to the end, this period of transportation in the previous time, there was an escort of aircraft, and the walk was quite smooth, solving the problem of food and drink for the defenders of Nanning. However, in the process of transporting fuel for the third time, it was destroyed by the Chinese army, not only did the fuel not be delivered at all, but even the other materials of the transport team, including the means of transport, were all destroyed. Next, escorted by the aircraft carrier in Qinzhou Bay, the transportation of the Yongqin Highway continued, and as the aircraft carrier moved to the direction of Vietnam, the Yongqin Highway returned to the starting point.

Under the leadership of Han Liancheng, deputy commander of the 170th Division, in Xintangwei, the special service regiment first arranged a one-kilometer-long formation, and when the Japanese army entered the formation, it exploded at the same time, and the artillery fire of the artillery regiment directly under the army blew up the Japanese army to the ground, and finally the 170th Division charged, except for the burning transport materials and the Japanese troops killed and wounded, the escort troops and transport troops were scattered.

The long-awaited materials were either turned into a sea of fire or turned into trophies of the Chinese army, and Jiu Nacheng in the city of Nanning repeatedly couldn't hold back his grief and indignation, and almost frantically ordered: "Attack Vietnam!" ”

Thus, after bargaining with France over the question of entering Vietnam to no avail, on 12 September, Japanese carrier-based planes flew into Haiphong and carried out the first bombing of the starting point of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway. Akito Nakamura also launched a frenzied attack on the French Vietnamese army in Lang Son, and the French Foreign Legion suffered heavy losses in the engagement. At first, the French wanted to fight the Japanese for a few rounds, but it turned out that they couldn't even resist the 5th Division, not to mention that there was also a Sakurada Takeshi Brigade on the sidelines.

The situation in Vietnam is extremely tense.
