Chapter 497 Wu Qiaohe blocked (2)

Amidst the sound of artillery fire, the troops behind the 33rd Division hurriedly took up their guns and showed a fighting posture.

The artillery fire began to extend forward, and the vanguard of the 190th Division and the 33rd Division rushed up. At the same time, the Pre-[-]th Division began to outflank the approach of the [-]rd Division from the upper reaches of the Wuqiao River five kilometers away from this battlefield.

At the front of the Wuqiao River, a group of soldiers with submachine guns and light machine guns rushed forward, and bullets poured to the other side of the river like water.

Some of the vanguard troops of the 33rd Division who were not able to get a firm foothold across the river were directly stunned by the surging bullets, powerless to parry, and ran around stepping back on the river.

The pontoon bridge built by the devils was directly cheaper for the officers and soldiers of the 190th Division and the [-]rd Division. follow.

In the battle that broke out at Wuqiaohe, both armies were considered long-distance combat.The Tenth Army raided a hundred kilometers overnight and changed its way three times; while the 33rd Division had just retreated from the Shanggao battlefield.

However, although the Tenth Army ran overnight, all the officers and soldiers were full of fighting spirit. They knew clearly that they came to Wuqiao River to deal with the 33rd Division, but the 33rd Division devils who were withdrawn from the Shanggao battlefield were completely unreasonable. I know there are enemies ahead.

Even before the sound of the cannon, these devils were still joking with each other.

Hearing the shouts of killing coming from the front line, the thought of stepping forward with a gun in Li Chong's heart was about to move.

As a first-level brigade commander, the opportunity to go to the battlefield in person will only appear when the regiments below are dead.

Amakasu Shigetaro hurriedly and the devil commanders below commanded the troops to resist the attacks from the Chongqing army at various points on the front line, trying to stabilize their position first.

But in less than half an hour, the huge offensive pressure directly tore apart the hastily built defense line of the 33rd Division, and directly paid the price of a commander.

"Order the troops to break out to the northwest!"

After Amakasu Shigetaro saw that the troops in front were completely unstoppable, he directly ordered the tank armored unit to open the way in front, trying to smash a way out of the encirclement.

When the 33rd Division as a whole attacked northwestward to break through, the Pre-33th Division had not yet completed forming an outflank of the [-]rd Division.It can only be said that the devil's decision to attack and break through the siege was made too quickly, so fast that the pre-tenth division didn't have time to take a back route on the periphery of the battlefield.

Fang Xianjue, the division commander of the Pre-Tenth Division, saw that the devils were about to break out of the encirclement and run away, so he would have taken a fart and led the entire division directly to rush down from the upper reaches of the Wuqiao River.

The three reorganization divisions did not break up in the chaotic pursuit, and each maintained a regiment and brigade organization, which was enough to show the quality of the top main force, and they were fighting steadily even if they had the upper hand.

Li Chong also had a chance to shoot. The three divisions of the whole army were attacking the 33rd Division who was retreating while fighting. There was no need to pay attention to tactics, just relying on the quality of the soldiers and the high-quality weapons in their hands. They beat and chased the devil together.

As far as the Tenth Army was concerned, the bayonet was not used much in the process of catching the devils fiercely. There were enough bullets to allow the officers and soldiers to use guns to solve them all before they got close to the devils.

They kept destroying the devils and set up a rear position. After chasing for five or six kilometers, the Tenth Army stopped the pursuit, cleaned the battlefield along the way and returned to Wuqiao River to prepare for a short rest before going to the high battlefield.

Inside the Chief's Department of the Ninth War Zone.

"Mr. Xue, Li Yutang's Tenth Army successfully blocked the 33rd Division this morning and wiped out 33 Japanese troops. The [-]rd Division has suffered heavy losses so far."

When Xue Boling heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, this has laid the foundation for our overall encirclement of the 34th Division and the Suzuki Brigade on the Shanggao battlefield."

Xue Boling is now preparing to play a big game of chess in the Shanggao area, and he wants to eat as much as the 34th Division and Suzuki Brigade can eat.

The Wuhan 11th Army Headquarters and the 33rd Division sent a telegram of what happened to them after they broke out.

Enwabe Ichiro rubbed the space between his brows. The sudden appearance of a Chongqing army in the Shanggao area overnight caught him by surprise, and up to now, they have not observed any signs of mobilization of the defenders near Changsha.

"Division Commander, the cavalry unit of the No.20 Brigade has already set off and will arrive at the battlefield of the 34th Division at noon today, and the reconnaissance plane has also taken off."

Enkabe Ichiro nodded, knowing that after the Chongqing army suddenly appeared in Wuqiaohe, he sent a telegram to the No.20 Brigade to go to the Shanggao battlefield. At the same time, the aerial reconnaissance plane had already taken off. Which way is the army!
On the high battlefield.

The Tianyiming 33rd Division and the Suzuki Brigade launched an attack on the left and front positions of Shanggao County at the same time.

Although Luo Zhuoying was under pressure, it was all within the tolerable range. Although the left-wing troops were crushed by the 33rd Division before, these troops were not unable to withstand the attack of the devils, rather than being wiped out. They still have fighting strength when gathered together. Moreover, most of the right-wing troops were transferred by him to the left-wing positions.

This is like when the devils attacked Wuhan back then, the officers and soldiers of the fifth war zone did not stop them, but after reintegrating the troops, the strength of personnel and weapons is still there, but it needs force to suppress the fighting power.

For Ka Mao, the head of the 34th Division who is attacking at this moment, he feels very uncomfortable, and he even feels that he has been deceived.

Before the 33rd Division left, didn’t they say that they had successively defeated the three lines of defense of the Chongqing Army on the left-wing position?Why did the Chongqing army still have so many people when they continued to attack after taking over the position?
While dissatisfied with his former colleague Amakasu Shigetaro, he also received a battle report and heard that the 33rd Division had encountered an ambush on the Wuqiao River on the way to the north. Ohga Shigeru, who mourned for him, also felt uneasy.

Although the No.20 Brigade is rushing towards us along the Hunan-Jiangxi Highway, and the cavalry is approaching rapidly, Wuqiao River is only 30 kilometers away from us. It was the enemy.

In the Tenth Army at this moment, the three divisions are divided into three groups.

The Pre-Tenth Division is going to the 74th Army, which fought with the Suzuki Brigade in Shanggao and Gao'an, and copied the Suzuki Brigade's back route.

The 190rd Division and the 34th Division went to support Chief Luo and cooperated to complete the encirclement of the [-]th Division. Although the two divisions had the same goal, they did not march together, but went their own way, far apart.

In fact, the Tenth Army just didn't want to go. As long as there were no other devils joining the upper battlefield, the Nineteenth Army could handle it alone, but the Tenth Army could speed up the process by rushing over.

After a night without sleep and half a day of fighting, the officers and soldiers couldn't hide their exhaustion, and the officers and soldiers of the three routes were all on their way.

Until a Devil plane swooped past in the sky, the officers and soldiers of the 190th Division marching on the ground were tense.
