Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 414 The anger of the commander of the North China Expeditionary Army!
Secretary-General Yang guessed that the Dragon Boat Festival would dig a hole for the devils, but he had to consider his safety.

Because at the time when the three Japanese regiments of Kitano 36 Lang were annihilated in the Dragon Boat Festival, all the ministries on the front line of Xicheng were encountering fierce Japanese attacks.

Just earlier on the 22nd, the 16th Division under the command of the old devil Nakajima Kinezago took the 38th Regiment and the 20th Regiment as the vanguard, secretly in Xiaokutou and Daku before dawn. Head, near the north side of the stone tree bridge head spread out in a line.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, under the cover of artillery and dozens of aircraft, the 38th and 20th Wings of the Japanese Army launched an attack on Houshan from both north and south directions.

The officers and soldiers of the 13th Brigade of the 39th Division guarding Houshan and nearby areas fought against the enemy many times and repelled the Japanese attack many times.

However, due to the lack of flank cover, the 20st Battalion of the 1th Regiment of the Japanese Army passed through the southern foot of Houshan Mountain and captured the Chajia Bridge behind Houshan Mountain at 8:20. heavy.

Fan Liuquan, Deputy Colonel of the 39th Regiment of the 78th Brigade, and Hou Mingzhu, Deputy Major of the Regiment, were killed one after another.

The 9th Division of the Japanese Army also exchanged fire with the Chinese army near Weiting on the 22nd.

After the heavy artillery bombardment of the 9th Regiment, the 36th Regiment and part of the 19th Regiment began to expand to the villages on the north bank of the river.

At 9 a.m., the 19th Regiment occupied the unnamed village southwest of Xiaojiaqiao, and the 36th Regiment occupied the unnamed village east of Shifang Bridge at 10 a.m.

However, the Chinese defenders still continued to rely on the river to occupy positions, resisted tenaciously, and used the side-firing machine gun firepower of various places to violently attack the Japanese army.

The Japanese infantry was exposed on the open ground. Many people under Kobe, the commander of the Machine Gun Squadron of the 19st Battalion of the 1th Regiment, were killed and injured, especially the 4th Squadron suffered heavy casualties. The entire brigade lost dozens of people, and the attack came to a standstill.

But generally speaking, the casualties of the Japanese army were not as large as imagined, and the Japanese army continued to increase its troops, and the defenders were under great pressure.

At 14:1 in the afternoon, the casualties of the defenders further increased. Hu Zongnan could only order the engineer battalion of the [-]st Division to destroy the railway and road bridges in front of the position west of Wangting, and began to retreat towards Wuxi one by one.

At the same time, the 11rd Regiment of the 43th Division of the Japanese Army landed in the north of Meicun, southeast of Dongting Town, at 15:30 that afternoon after a day of water maneuvering. After repelling the small army of the National Army, they continued to approach Fangqian Town .

The vanguard of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army began to exchange fire with the 160th Regiment of the 956th Division in Changjing Town. The battle situation was also not optimistic.

Therefore, if the Xicheng line is still not stable, it will directly threaten the supply line and even the retreat route of the Jiangyin Fortress, and the Chinese army in the Jiangyin Fortress will become a lone army.

The consequences of this are not difficult to imagine in the Dragon Boat Festival, so he can only compromise and let go of the delivery of ammunition.In other words, as long as the Jiangyin Fortress holds on until the Xicheng Line can't hold it, it will retreat.And Secretary-General Yang has already set a good retreat route, Changzhou withdraws to the Nanjing defense zone.

There is no better way for Duan Wu, he is alone, and he has a limped leg.

But at this moment, when he thought of his legs, he felt a swollen pain.

Duan Wu was a little scared at this time, if this leg was crippled, he would have to use crutches for the rest of his life.

At this time, hearing that Duan Wu's voice was wrong, Secretary-General Yang asked concerned: "What's wrong with you, monkey boy?"

Duan Wu felt a little sad, and used his saliva to dab two tears at the corners of his eyes, and then said: "Old Yang, I might be limping, the doctor said I can't move my legs, today I fought with devils again, now my legs It's very uncomfortable, I'm afraid the stitched wound will open again."

When Secretary-General Yang heard this, his heart was about to break, and he said quickly, "Come back by car immediately, and I will find the best doctor for you."

Thinking about it on the Dragon Boat Festival, I am not very useful in the Jiangyin Fortress, and the devil will not stumble twice on the same stone.So go back to Nanjing!
Of course, what he was most worried about was that devil assassin, who actually managed to injure the Chairman.

Although there is no shortage of wine bags and rice bags around the chairman.But it's not all goofy.Otherwise, the Chairman would not have survived until now.

So this matter, the Dragon Boat Festival really has to go back, otherwise the Chairman will be attacked and killed, and then there will be no devils to fight, and China will be in chaos.

Of course, he had to see a doctor to see his leg first.

Duan Wu thought that his leg was lame again, so he found a [-]-style rifle and continued to use it as a walking stick.

The doctors are very busy because there are too many wounded soldiers.The Dragon Boat Festival sat with the soldiers and lined up there.

Not all soldiers knew Duan Wu. They only saw that Duan Wu was wearing a military uniform without a hat, and they thought he was a junior officer of some regiment.

A veteran approached him: "Brother, your leg has been injured, right? You are fighting with your wounds. This is what you do. I just heard that when the devils attacked the headquarters, many wounded soldiers went out to kill the enemy." .”

As the veteran said, he gave Duan Wu a thumbs up, which meant he admired him very much.

Unexpectedly, at this time, another recruit echoed: "Yes, I also know about this.

I heard from them that the special commissioner is like a living god. When he stands in front of you, he will activate your spirit. Many people follow him down the mountain as if they were bewitched. "

"So powerful? Is this the legendary puppet technique?"

"Yes, yes, yes, how do you say this old saying? That's called arresting gods and dispatching generals."

"Good guy, then this guy is amazing!"

"Yes, I heard that this special commissioner also limped a leg like this brother. But when he went into battle to kill the enemy, he stepped on the wind and walked ten meters. One second he was still on the mountain, and the next second the Japanese army The commander's head is in the hands of our special commissioner."

"I also heard that our special commissioner will fly through the clouds."

"It's far away, it's far away, you are all talking nonsense. What I heard is true, we special commissioners, that will change 72 times,"

···············
puff!
Duan Wu on the side heard it, and he felt like vomiting blood, and thought: If I am so amazing, do you still need you to fight with me?With a wave of my left hand, all the little devils were wiped out.With a wave of my right hand, the Japanese island sank.

"Grandma, these boys are so good at bragging, I have to stay away from them."

Dragon Boat Festival doesn't like to listen to other people's bragging, especially when others are bragging about themselves.

He wanted to hide away, but he didn't want to be at this moment, as soon as he got up, Mr. Huo came.

Master Huo came to Duan Wu to report the situation. When he arrived at the headquarters, the people in the headquarters said that Duan Wu had gone to the field hospital.

Master Huo quickly found it, and he strode inside.

Because who would have thought that a special commissioner would queue up with the soldiers to see a doctor?
But as soon as Duan Wu stood up, Master Huo saw it. Regardless of the soldiers who saluted him one after another, he walked up to Duan Wu and said, "Commander, why are you here?"

"Commissioner?"

"Is he the commissioner?"

·············
The soldiers were astonished. They didn't expect that the mysterious special commissioner who was rumored to be sitting next to them could even chat with them.

At this time, Duan Wu naturally didn't say that he came to see the legs, but said: "Hehehe, come and see the wounded, everyone is very good and very energetic. Hahaha!"

Duan Wu smiled, but at this time, Mr. Huo looked at Duan Wu's legs.Quickly ordered his guards: "You two carry the special commissioner inside. I have something to say to the special commissioner."

"Don't lift, don't lift."

Duan Wu said no, but at this time two guards had forced Duan Wu onto the stretcher and walked towards the innermost part of the field hospital.

At this time, everyone suddenly realized that the special commissioner came to chat with them, but it was very likely that the leg injury had recurred.

The respect in my heart arises spontaneously!

······················
However, at this time, putting aside the fact that the Dragon Boat Festival was forcibly taken away for medical treatment, it is said that at this time the Japanese Army Command Matsui Iwane has received the latest battle report of the Jiangyin Fortress.

Matsui Iwane violently pushed all the documents on the desk under the table.Holding the bottom of the desk with both hands, the entire desk was lifted up.

The secretaries, adjutants, and staff officers in the office bowed their heads in fright and dared not speak.Because everyone knows how much effort His Excellency Matsui put in in the battle of Jiangyin Fortress.

But the end result was a disastrous failure.In two days, the three infantry regiments of the Japanese army were almost completely annihilated, and the Japanese garrison on the north bank suffered heavy casualties. None of the 32 aircraft of the First Air Force Brigade returned, and three of the five warships of the Second Fleet were sunk. The two ships were severely damaged and fled back.

Such a failure made Matsui Iwane not only angry, but going crazy.

After venting, he turned around and leaned on a corner of the sofa, two lines of old tears fell gently.

He immediately looked up at 45 degrees to stop his tears from streaming down.

The chief of staff at the side felt very heartbroken seeing Matsui Iwane so much, and said: "Your Excellency, the defeat of the Jiangyin Fortress in this battle was actually within our expectations.

The Chinese army has been operating in Jiangyin for the longest time, and the fortifications are also strong, with hundreds of forts, large and small.Therefore, the imperial army's defeat this time is justifiable.

And as far as I know, although our losses in the Battle of Jiangyin were slightly larger, the casualties of the Chinese army were even greater.According to the soldiers who transferred back.There are 10 Chinese troops stationed in Jiangyin Fortress.They wiped out at least half of the other side, or 5 people.Moreover, most of the forts of the Jiangyin Fortress were destroyed by them. "

Hearing this, Matsui Iwane had ten thousand MMP words in his heart.Xindao: Are there 1 Chinese defenders on the entire Xicheng line?Those junior officers and soldiers just made up things out of fear of being punished.

But that's good, at least he won't have to be punished.The report he received was that in the battle of Jiangyin Fortress, more than 5 people were killed in China, and most of the forts in Jiangyin Fortress were destroyed.

And if the higher-ups really check it out, he can push it to the officers below.

But he couldn't appease the anger in his heart. He wanted the Chinese, and that Chinese lunatic, to pay enough.

"Give me an order that the 5th Division of the North China Dispatch Army and the Imperial Association Army will be mixed into the [-]th Brigade and the Temporary Aviation Corps, and go south to carry out a devastating attack on Jiangyin Fortress.

Order the two aircraft carriers of the Kaga and Chicheng of the First Aviation Team to dispatch planes to bomb the Jiangyin Fortress now.I want the Chinese to be in constant panic under the bombing of the empire. "

Matsui Iwane gave the order, but his adjutant and chief of staff did not execute it immediately.Because it is unwise.

The Kaga and Akagi aircraft carriers have been supporting operations on the southern front.Once the planes are sent to bomb the Jiangyin fortress, the southern front operations will encounter serious obstacles.

They believe that Matsui Iwane's order is unwise, and they need to remind them.

But at this time Matsui Iwane had lost his mind, just like when Kitano 36 Lang learned that the Dragon Boat Festival was in the Jiangyin Fortress, killing that Chinese lunatic became the top priority, and he did it at all costs.

So under the order of Matsui Iwane, the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, which was still resting in North China (the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army had suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Pingxingguan before).

After receiving the order, Itagaki began to gather urgently, preparing to go south to fight across the river.

And crossing the river with the Banheng Division will also be the newly formed Seventh Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army.

The combined total strength of the Japanese Army and the Imperial Association Army is nearly [-].

A group of them rushed towards the Jiangyin Fortress in a mighty manner.

Of course, they were still on the road at this time, and it was the planes of the Japanese HNA No. [-] Brigade that arrived at the Jiangyin Fortress first.

They bombed the Jiangyin fortress, but they bombed a lonely one.

Because the speed of the Dragon Boat Festival is very fast, the first time the battle is over is to pick up the equipment, and then transport them back to the air-raid shelter.

The scouts had already been sent out, and there was not even a single devil within a radius of ten miles.

And without the cooperation of the infantry, what is the Dragon Boat Festival talking about with the Devils Air Force?
Directly ordering not to fight back, I heard the little devil drop all the bombs on the mountain, not a single fart was blown up, and the little devil pilot didn't even see a single figure.

The ghost pilots were stunned. There was not even a single enemy in the Jiangyin Fortress. How did the three infantry regiments of the empire disappear?Did they all jump into the river and drown themselves?

They could only truthfully report to Matsui Iwane, who almost vomited blood on the spot in anger after hearing the report.

The report of HNA No. [-] Brigade was that there were no enemies at all in Jiangyin Fortress, and their bombing didn't even hit a single human hair.

What about people?Just wiped out his three infantry regiments, and the enemy has 10 people.What about people?
Matsui Iwane felt that this must be another trick of the Chinese lunatic.He must calm down, he must not be fooled by that Chinese lunatic again. Before the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army and the Seventh Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army arrive in Jiangyin, he will not send a single soldier in the direction of the Jiangyin Fortress. .

It's just that he didn't know that it's not that Duan Wu didn't want to hit his plane, it's just that the ammunition for the anti-aircraft weapons was too low.

During the two days of fierce fighting, Dongshan and Xiaoshan's air defense weapons were all consumed.Only Huangshan, Eshan and Xishan still have a little bit.

But what is the use of hundreds of anti-aircraft shells and bullets?If you can't hit a base, you're gone.Moreover, an anti-aircraft firepower network cannot be formed. There are nine out of ten bullets, and the shells will not come back after being fired.

So the Dragon Boat Festival is that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

But Matsui Iwane was frightened by Duan Wu. In his eyes, Duan Wu's helplessness turned into a plot to frame him against the Imperial Japanese Army.

Of course, this old devil will not let the Dragon Boat Festival go. When the bombing of the HNA Brigade failed, he ordered the 11th Division of the Japanese Army to attack Changzhou with all its strength and cut off the retreat route of the Jiangyin Fortress defenders! .
