The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 246 The Bloody Battle in Teng County 1

The national army stationed in the Taierzhuang and Xuzhou areas include the Second Army of Sun Lianzhong, the No.20 Army of Tang Enbo, the No.11 Army of Li Pinxian, the No.20 First Army of Liu Xiang, the No.20 Second Army of Deng Xihou, and the No.51 Second Army of Yu Xue. Zhong's 59st Army, Zhang Zizhong's 60th Army, Lu Han's [-]th Army and other troops.

The biggest change may be the "Ninth Cavalry Division". Historically, this unit participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang, but the 9th Cavalry Division in parallel time and space has become a mobile card of the National Defense Forces. Mongolia and Soviet Russia.

The shocking collision of over one million troops from China and Japan is about to take place!

However, will history really repeat itself?

The Japanese army is no longer the Japanese army in history. After the defeat in the Battle of Pingjin, the Japanese army's firepower configuration became stronger and its tactical level became higher.Historically, the first-level units of the Japanese army generally had a three-division system, and few independent combat units. However, at this time, the Japanese military-level units implemented a five-division system in order to be on par with the National Defense Forces; independent combat units added independent heavy artillery There are two heavyweight units, brigade and independent armored brigade; a tank wing has been added at the division and regiment level (there was a tank brigade in the same period in history, or even no), and the field artillery wing has been strengthened. The firepower configuration is also more than 50% stronger than that of the same period in history.

Of course, the strength of the national army has also increased.Since the National Defense Forces were able to manufacture arms, in the export of arms, as long as they paid for the series of the Central Army of the National Army, they were basically equipped with one division and one mountain artillery regiment, while other miscellaneous armies sold one mountain artillery regiment per army.

According to the relevant information, there was only one "4th Artillery Regiment" of the national army that participated in the defense of Taierzhuang. In fact, there may be more than one artillery regiment, but this number cannot exceed 3; There are 10 mountain artillery regiments.

In terms of the air force, the Japanese army has a second flight group with more than 2 combat aircraft. The national army’s combat aircraft are better than the same period in history. The war has been fought until now, and there are still about 200 combat aircraft; however, the Japanese army can get the Kwantung Army With the timely support of the Air Force and the Japanese Air Force in East China, fast-moving aircraft from Japan could reach North China.

Although Wu Aihua attacked Shanghai Hongqiao Airport and seized more than 200 planes, that was not all of the Japanese Air Force in East China, but only half of them.

In addition, although the firepower of the national army has been significantly strengthened, and the number of German weapon divisions has also increased, the training level of the national army has not improved. The ideology of cherishing war still exists, and tactical command is still rigid. It is really difficult to predict the outcome of this war.

Perhaps, the only variable on the battlefield is the actions of the National Defense Force, China's strongest military force.If the National Defense Forces use the two strategic forces of the armored division and the artillery division to raid the 2nd Army of Lieutenant General Higashihiume Gong Nihiko during the battle between the two armies, so as to quickly seize a large area of ​​Hebei, it is very likely to cause chaos in the Xuzhou and Taierzhuang areas. The state of the Japanese army being attacked by the enemy.

The expansion of the National Defense Forces at this time has not yet started. The 1st Group Army plus instructors, armored divisions and artillery divisions, as well as Li Jinkun's 6 Chahar garrison divisions, compared with the Japanese 9th Army and 2nd Army, it is only the number of troops. slightly less.However, if the national defense force wants to deal with the two Japanese armies, and wants to eat one of them, it has to take a great risk. loss or even loss.As for Baotou, everyone in the National Defense Force understands that it is the heart and soul of Commander-in-Chief Wu Aihua, and there is no room for loss.The task Wu Aihua gave to the Northern Group of the National Defense Forces is to first ensure that Baotou is not lost.

In addition, the National Defense Forces also has the 1st Air Force Regiment in the north. This unit, which made great achievements in the night attack on Tianjin, is even more powerful at this time. However, the total number of aircraft in this regiment is only 200. If the National Army The theater commander negotiated well with the National Defense Forces. The Air Force Regiment 1 of the National Defense Forces can support the fierce battle in Taierzhuang. The straight-line distance from Caijiayu, the northern air force base of the National Defense Forces, to the Taierzhuang area is within 600 kilometers. hours of combat time.

This time, because Li Delin was the commander and first commander of the war zone, and because Xuzhou was close to the Japanese front line, Lao Jiang was very easy to speak and agreed with the Northern Air Force of the National Defense Forces to provide air support for the Taierzhuang operation.

In the past two years, especially since the July [-]th Incident, Chiang Kai-shek's mentality has undergone extremely subtle changes. In the past, he was defending against g and rebelling against g. Power emerged on Chinese soil.Dozens of divisions were mobilized to annihilate them in one fell swoop, but their troops retreated thousands of miles overnight. Hundreds of thousands of national troops and hundreds of generals became prisoners of others, and Fujian and Jiangxi were lost since then. In the battle, Chahar was lost again.Chiang Kai-shek suspects that if there is another battle, the territory controlled by the national army is likely to be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek is no longer as ostentatious as in the past when dealing with internal affairs, but timid. He is afraid that Wu Aihua will really be offended, and this unreasonable Lengtouqing suddenly launches an attack. The division was able to hold Nanjing.Because of this, Chiang Kai-shek feared and hated Wu Aihua.Of course, there is still a little appreciation.

With such a mentality, how dare Chiang Kai-shek let the Air Force of the National Defense Forces stationed at the airport near Nanjing?That was his lair and base camp.

The Battle of Taierzhuang and the Battle of Xuzhou in history were initially attacked by the Japanese Central China Front Army from south to north in an attempt to occupy Bengbu and Fengyang, and then went north along Jinpu Road to join forces with the Japanese North China Front Army. The Japanese Army failed to achieve its strategic goal, but suffered losses. thousands of people.

Wu Aihua's crossing turned the Central China Front Army into the East China Front Army, and because the East China Front Army was attacked by the National Defense Army's Lightning Troops, Swordfish Commandos, Air Force and the "robbery trio", its plot to occupy Nanjing failed. The strategic goal of docking simply does not exist.The direct purpose of the Japanese army's change is to engage in a decisive battle with the main force of the national army and continue to implement the strategy of "picking peaches and picking soft ones". The hidden purpose may be to see the reaction of the National Defense Forces. After all, the Japanese army still has a strategic The South China Front Army is still hidden in Taiwan and has not acted yet.

After the embarrassing defeat of the Japanese army in East China, the young soldiers in Japan arrogantly clamored for "revenge" and advocated an immediate retaliatory attack on the National Defense Forces (intelligence showed that the "demon" finally disappeared in Fujian). The Japanese army base camp petitioned, requesting to send samurai and ninjas to deal with that hateful "wizard".

In the end, Emperor Hirohito of Japan acquiesced to the request of the Black Dragon Society, and a group of about 20 so-called "masters" stepped into Shanghai before the Chinese New Year. "North China" was changed to "Attack the north and defend the south, join forces in East China", and the following two sentences "Attack Fujian and Guangdong together, unify China" have not changed.Of course, whether to change or not depends on the actions of the National Defense Forces.

The Japanese army's strategy of "attacking from the north and defending from the south" is exactly the strategy used by the Japanese army in another time and space.

However, the reorganization of the National Defense Forces has been completed, will Wu Aihua let the Japanese army lead by the nose?

On February 1938, 2, the Japanese Third Army led by Yamashita Bongfumi went south from Weixian (now Weifang). Within a few days, it even attacked Yishui, Juxian, and Rizhao, and went straight to Linyi.

Historically, the national army guarding Linyi was the 3th Army of Pang Bingxun's 40rd Army. When the Japanese 5th Division attacked Linyi, Li Zongren sent Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army to support it, which severely damaged the Japanese army in Linyi.However, the Japanese offensive this time was several times that of the same period in history. Because of this, in addition to the 3rd Army, the national army on the front line of Linyi also included Li Pinxian's 11th Army, Liu Xiang's 21st Army, and Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army. Xuezhong's 51st Army.China and Japan confronted each other on the front line of Linyi and Junan, and the artillery was booming all day long.

The commander of the Japanese 1st Army, Kozuki Kiyoshi, was previously the commander of the Japanese Army Garrison in North China, and Yamashita Bongfumi was only the commander of the Major General Brigade of the 20th Brigade of the 40th Division under his command. From the head of the brigade and the chief of staff of the front army to the commander of the 3rd army, he was completely equal to himself.

Therefore, when Kozuki Kiyoshi saw that Yamashita Fengwen fought extremely fiercely and achieved good results, he was also impatient and urged his troops to rush towards the Chinese defenders.

2月17日，日军第1军川岸文三郎中将的第20师团抵达滕县境内，匆匆赶到滕县的邓锡侯的22集团军41军孙震部迅速与敌接战，其中该军122师负责防守滕县县城。

The 20th Division of the Japanese Army is one of the first 17 permanent divisions formed by the Japanese Army, and its combat power is extremely strong.Lieutenant General Kawagishi Fumiyama, head of the division, Major General Kuzura Kuzura, Chief of Staff, Major General Yoshito Takagi of the 39th Brigade, Major General Yoshito Kazuki of the 40th Brigade (replacing Harufumi Yamashita), and the 28th Cavalry Regiment directly under the division, The 26th Field Artillery Wing, the 20th Tank Wing, and the 20th Engineer Wing have a total strength of more than 25000 people.

这个第20师团，其实早就是国防军的手下败将，在1937年7月11日是下午，国防军教导师3团、4团与国军第9骑兵师配合，歼灭了其野炮兵26联队、工兵20联队、骑兵28出将入相，击毙日军细川中康、南部薰、冈崎正一3名联队长，并缴获骑兵28联队、野炮兵20联队联队旗。

However, the Japanese army, the most shameless unit in the world, rebuilt the 28th Cavalry Regiment and the 20th Field Artillery Regiment.

Later generations of military history experts studied this period of history, such as Lieutenant General Kawagishi Bunsaburo, why so many people served as army commanders, and as the veteran commander of the 20th Division, for a long time later (until he died in battle in In the war with the Soviet Union), he stopped at the position of division commander, even though his division later became the ace division of the 1st Army, and made a lot of military exploits in the attack on Shandong.The conclusion drawn by the military history expert was beyond people's expectations, that is, the two regiments under his command lost their military flags, which shamed the entire Japanese army, and Kawagishi Fumiyama had to pay for it.
