Chapter 52 Regret
The backlash of little Japan on the dying side was indeed crazy, but they met Zhang Lingfu's 305th regiment
After a fierce battle, the corpses were everywhere on Zhanggu Mountain. At the most critical moment, the Japanese even attacked the Northern Highlands at one point. However, the 305th Regiment quickly organized a counterattack. Deputy Commander Tang Shenghai personally led 200 suicide squads to engage in a tragic hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese. In the end, Tang Shenghai and Battalion Commander Hu Xiongjun were seriously injured, and the 200 suicide squads were almost completely injured, but the Japanese were also driven to the Northern Highlands.
It was getting dark, and Kento Iiye could only stand on the sabre, looking at Zhang Gushan who was still moving to sigh to the sky.
At the same time, more than a dozen divisions of the 1st Corps of the National Army had launched a general attack from several directions at the same time.
Zhang Gushan lost his destruction, and the 10th Basil Regiment of the Little Japan lost its internal advantage. Regardless of the mobilization of troops and material transfer, they were seriously affected. Under the fierce attack of the national army, the infantry regiments were quickly exhausted. For a moment, the communication soldiers who were in a hurry to seek help appeared in the division headquarters of Junroro Matsuura.
Faced with the flood of requests for help, Junroro Matsuura was completely desperate and immediately sent a farewell message to Okamura Naoji, the commander of the Nanjing No. 1 Army, and gathered more than a dozen medical soldiers accompanying him. First, the guards, staff and correspondents were surrounded by gang rapes, and then killed them together.
This is also a traditional Japanese tradition.

After receiving the farewell telegram from Junroro Matsuura, Okamura did not sleep all night.
At this moment, Okamura Yanji's inner depression could no longer be described in words. The battle situation in Wanjialing took a sharp turn. The Hatan Detachment had not arrived at Xingzi, and the Maruyama Brigade had not even completed the assembly. However, the Matsuura Division was about to be destroyed, which directly led to the diagonal offensive set by Okamura Yanji.
To make matters worse, the Matsuura Division is in danger of destruction of the entire army
Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army has suffered heavy damage in North China and East China battlefields. In Taierzhuang, the Seto Detachment, which had the highest degree of mechanization, was almost destroyed. However, the established division was completely wiped out, but it was still a serious incident that had never happened before. Even traced back to the era of the Russo-Japanese War, it had never happened.
Okamura Yasuji could not imagine what consequences would have caused if the Matsuura Division set a precedent? His reputation and future would be destroyed, and he might even be tried by a military court. When he thought of this, Okamura Yasuji would feel inexplicably scared and could not afford such serious consequences.
So early the next morning, Okamura Nishi hurried to the Ming Palace Airport. Jiro Sakai, the ace pilot of the aviation corps, personally flew a reconnaissance plane to take him over De'an. Okamura Nishi planned to find a way for the Matsuura Division from the air. Even if he could not save the entire 10th Pei Regiment, he would at least rescue the division headquarters of the 10th Pei Regiment.
The reconnaissance plane soon flew over Detachment. The weather today was pretty good. Looking down from the sky, the mountains and ridges below were clearly visible, and there was not even a trace of mist. Jiro Sakai drove the plane and circled around for a long time, and Okamura Yanji had a rough understanding of the situation on the entire battlefield.
A large number of national troops have surrounded the narrow area between Wanjialing and Changling. In this case, unless the road is in good condition, unless the 1st Army quickly mobilized all heavy artillery and all aviation bombers, it is possible to blow out a passage to rescue the trapped 10th Pei regiment.
Jiro Sakai said directly: "Master Commander, give up, there is no hope."
But Okamura Yanji refused to give up and ordered Jiro Sakai to continue flying around the entire battlefield. When he reached the fourth circle, Niji Okamura suddenly discovered something and pointed below and asked Sakai: "Sakura, what is that?"
Jiro Sakai turned his head and looked down, and said in an uncertain tone: "It seems like a river?"
"Downgrade the height and take a closer look, what exactly is that?" Okamura Yasuji gave the order without hesitation.
Jiro Sakai risked the plane crash and lowered his flight altitude. When he was less than fifty meters above the ground, Okamura Yanji finally saw it clearly. It was indeed a river. Although it was not big, it was enough for rubber boats to pass. The Matsuura Division was blocked in the mountains. It was absolutely impossible to break out from the deep mountains and forests. But if there were several rubber boats drifting down the river, there was still a chance to escape.
Having a scheming in his heart, Okamura Yasuji quickly asked Jiro Sakai to fly back.
Back in Nanjing, Okamura Yasuji immediately issued an order to the Matsuura Division, ordering Junroro Matsuura to persist until dark no matter what. At the same time, he notified Junroro Matsuura that the headquarters would urgently raise dozens of rubber boats and airdrop the Wanjialing Mountains, and guide the remaining troops of the Matsuura Division to take the rubber boat downstream and break through to Poyang Lake.
When he received the telegram from Okamura, Junroro Matsuura had even knelt down to the east, wiping his sabre and preparing to commit suicide by separating the stomach. After reading the telegram, the old Matsuura Japanese immediately gave up the idea of separating the stomach and organized the remaining personnel of the division headquarters and the remaining soldiers of the 113th infantry registrar, each controlling the commanding heights of the mountain and fighting to the death.
At this time, the 10th infantry regiments of the Little Japanese had been completely divided and surrounded by the National Army. The battle was coming to an end. There were only hundreds of people left by Matsuura Junroro. Two brigade commanders, four brigade commanders, and chief of staff, all of them were still there. It can be seen that the senior Japanese officers' kung fu was actually not inferior to the National Army.
In the evening, the last batch of bombers flew over the Wanjialing battlefield, but this time it was no longer bombs, but dozens of tied rubber boats, Matsuura Junroro and several senior officers, as well as the remaining four or five hundred Japanese soldiers, finally waiting for their last chance to escape.

De'an, the headquarters of the 1st Corps of the National Army.
The battle reports of each army and division are constantly gathering towards the headquarters. Judging from the number of dead enemies reported at present, the Japanese have lost nearly 10,000 people. If we include the casualties on the way to break through, the total loss of the 10th Japanese Basin Regiment has reached more than 15,000 people. Although there will definitely be a certain amount of moisture in the middle, the 10th Japanese Basin Regiment has suffered heavy damage and has basically lost its combat effectiveness. It is an indisputable fact.
The only suspense now is whether you can catch the old ghost Junroro Matsuura
If Matsuura Junrororo, then the Battle of Wanjialing would be an unprecedented victory
Then Xue Yue could raise his head to see Chairman Jiang, and then tell him that the reason why the Lanfeng Battle was a joke forever is not that I, Xue, don’t know how to command and not fight, but that your good student Gui Yongqing missed the big thing and this anger was held in Xue Yue’s chest for almost half a year, but today, I finally felt relieved.
Chief of Staff Wu Yizhi said to the map: "Chief, judging from the reports of each department, the main force of the 10th Baptist Regiment of the Little Japan has been basically wiped out. Although there are still several battlefields of Japanese remnants still resisting, their destruction is irreversible, but... I haven't found the division headquarters of the Matsuura Old Japanese devils."
"Didn't you find the division headquarters of the Matsuura old devil?" Xue Yue's face immediately collapsed, and he frowned and said, "Look for me, and order each army and division to find the Matsuura old devil even if he digs three feet of the ground. I don't believe it anymore. Can Matsuura Junruo Rok become a Tu Xingsun and run away from the ground?"
But in the end, the Kuomintang army still failed to catch Junroro Matsuura.
The closest time, a platoon of the 305th Regiment had almost discovered the division and unit of Matsuura Junrororo. At that time, the two sides were less than fifty meters apart. As long as you walk ten meters further, history will be rewritten. Unfortunately, it was dark at that time, and the platoon of the 305th Regiment actually went in another direction. The old Japanese devils of Matsuura were spared from being captured alive by the national army.
