Chapter 179 Revenge

On Huangdao and its several kilometers of cotton inspections, it has become a huge military gathering site and a storage yard for materials. This time, the Japanese Navy showed a rare spirit of cooperation with the army. The Navy and the crew on the Army's transport ships have been continuously transferred to personnel, horses and materials for more than 24 hours. Everyone is supported by a fanatical fire and is carrying out super-loaded physical labor. The entire Sixth Division has not yet been completed on land, not to mention that all their equipment is equipped with heavy guys such as the 21st Regiment of the Field Artillery and the 7th Independent Heavy Artillery.

On the land, there are only the 36th Brigade of Kagoshima and the 6th Balance Artillery Regiment. In addition to the security forces that are still receiving the subsequent troops on the landing, the 45th Regiment of the Infantry Regiment is already attacking and advancing. Zhang Xiongfu's troops did not retreat without resistance like the Northern Line troops. This major general, who was famous for his boldness and rudeness in his position, also "freely" understood Cai E's instructions to freely grasp the timing of advancing and retreating on the front line as a fucking pleasure on the front line. Anyway, where to kill the Japanese is not a kill? As long as the further combat guidance of the Legion headquarters has not come, he does not plan to retreat anyway.

The front was unfolding in the Huangdao Station area, and the artillery fire of both sides was grounded. Although the Japanese army lacked land artillery and limited ammunition, the support of naval artillery fire was real. The Japanese army was desperate to open up its own land base and open up the road to advance to the northwest. Zhang Xiongfu just held an attitude and never retreated.

The long-range artillery fire of the Chinese army continued to fall on the beach. At this time, a large amount of ammunition, supplies, food, iron buckets, and even blocked feed cakes were piled up on the beach! You should know that a mule and horse have not yet been transported, and several mountain cannons on the front line are pushed and rotated by people, and ammunition is replenished by manpower! Each shell fell, huge sand columns splashed, and all the miscellaneous things within the power range were flying up. It put a huge obstacle to the operation of the beach. Any beach landing scene is chaotic, and this is no exception. The Navy has sent the Ruogong seaplane to reconnaissance the enemy's heavy artillery position. When it is found, it is ready to suppress it with the fourteen-inch heavy artillery on the King Kong. These four Chinese field heavy artillery have caused too much trouble to the Japanese army since the night of landing!

Lieutenant General Umezawa Daoji set up the command center of the Sixth Division in a stone house in Huangdao Port. The roof of this stone house has been lifted off, and the sun is shining with fire. The surroundings are full of the sound of shells falling from time to time, and the huge voices of the beach. The officers and soldiers of the 23rd Infantry Regiment are now doing the work of the Sixth Regiment of the baggage army, and are vigilant while vigilating the front line while sorting and transferring the supplies that have finally been transported. The unique sound of short-tempo trumpets of the Japanese cannons cannot be suppressed even by the sound of cannons. The sound of guns and cannons in the northwest direction comes in waves, sometimes tight and sometimes loose. However, all this cannot disturb the focused Lieutenant General Umezawa Daoji. This forty-nine-year-old general is completely young and promising among the Japanese generals, with a wide, short and fat body. His face looks gentle and gentle, he doesn't look like leading this Japanese team.

The commander of the most powerful division. He just focused on the map table made of ammunition boxes, and kept marking it with a brush. On the line of the station, there were already marks of the three triangular regiment-level troops marked in 9d. At the place where the southern branch of the Jiaoji Line was extended, several important places were questioned, and there were 18d marks next to it. It seemed that the worries from General Masashi Nakachi to Lieutenant General Umezawa Doji were the same. They were all trying hard to find where the Chinese reserve army led by the 18th Division would gather. Meizawa Doji had no doubts about defeating the defense of the Chinese army in front of him. However, if you really want to attack Qingdao, the reserve army of the Chinese army must be hit hard so that it cannot threaten the side of the Japanese main force! This is the most basic tactical principle.

Since being attacked by the Hua Navy on the surface of Huangdao, Lieutenant General Meizawa has added a psychological shadow to the high morale of the Sixth Division. For him who believes in the Japanese Reincarnation Sect, signs are very important. Did the military treat this expedition as a rare opportunity without considering the possibility of failure? If Yuchen's Nanjing regime concentrated the entire country's army in Qingdao, would there be a possibility of the main force of the three Japanese divisions completely defeating them? If it became a stalemate, do these upper-class figures have subsequent strategic plans to continue to implement mainland policies? The small naval ships of the Chinese army attacked the death penalty completely, completely ignoring the sacrifice.

The spirit of the sacred made him feel uneasy. The enemy in front of him may not be the one he imagined. Umezawa Doji naturally inferred the strategy of the Chinese army. The greatest possibility is that if they have an advantage and strong army, they will let their army go deeper, then sweep up from the flanks, seeking battles on land. To the greatest extent possible, the Japanese army with a sense of superiority and attack supremacy from top to bottom will still be driven forward by the generals and the sudden attack-storm attack-supervision! As a field commander, he tried to avoid this situation as much as possible.

The smooth progress of the northern line seemed to have confirmed his concerns. However, the firm resistance of the Chinese army on the southern line made him a little confused. Could it be that the Chinese army really spread its main force along the coast? The reserve forces were mobilized to the north. Now they need the full cover of the front line troops to transfer the reserve forces back? In that case, their attacks should be accelerated, and they should be defeated as quickly as possible to catch the Chinese army cover troops in front of them. When the enemy reserve troops were still mobilizing southwards! The dispatching army headquarters, which was still on the warship, asked him to organize a powerful attack force and advance quickly since he had just arrived on land. It seems that Masatoshi Tanaka also judged that the enemy's reserve troops were on the north side! The advancement results achieved by the northern line also stimulated the always steady lieutenant general. After all, he led the Sixth Division, which was far stronger than the 18th Division. If he did not make a breakthrough, he would not be able to explain to his subordinates!

He straightened up from the map and coldly asked the staff officer beside him who had been calling the front line: "How is the front line going?" His chief of staff, Colonel Imakawa Yoko, was injured when Yuharamaru was sunk and was finally rescued. The new chief of staff had not yet taken office, and now he is on the heavy responsibility of planning and command for the time being. The chief of staff was facing the phone and didn't know what was going on. When he heard the division commander's question, he stood at attention respectfully: "Your Excellency, Huyi is contacting the 45th Regiment on the front line, and their attack was quite difficult. The enemy formed a long front line. Due to insufficient troops on the front line, it was impossible to detour. Several hand-to-hand combat had occurred. The front line was still stalemate. Colonel Yamada Tokuo requested to replenish his troops, especially ammunition. Each rifleman on the front line had less than twenty rounds of ammunition!"

Umezawa Daoji closed his eyes, and he resisted fiercely... But I want to see how long can you stop the 6th Division? He opened his eyes and ordered: "Draw troops from the 23rd Regiment, and use an infantry brigade and an artillery squadron as the base. Carry double ammunition to reinforce the front line. Tell Yamada-kun. I don't want him to complain there. I only need to be five o'clock in the afternoon, Huangdao Station is in the hands of our Nan Kyushu men!"

At this time, the defense forces on the front line also felt huge pressure. Zhang Xiongfu's main force was the configuration of two fronts and one back. The first regiment of the Independent Brigade, the Third regiment guarded Huangdao Station, and the Second regiment was used as a preparatory party. As soon as he fought with the landing troops of the Sixth Division, he discovered the strength of this unit. The entire line was filled with the "Taita~~Taita~~" shouts unique to Japanese soldiers. The impact was wave after wave. It was difficult to press them back with any kind of firepower. These Japanese devils fired accurately and had fierce hand-to-hand combat. With the support of heavy artillery from the Japanese Navy, the front line suffered heavy casualties. However, the shortage of Japanese infantry was that they carried insufficient heavy weapons and limited ammunition. They launched such a large-scale attack as soon as they landed.

After the charge, it was a little difficult to continue. Huangdao Station relied on several low hills and the defense line formed by the railway platform. The Japanese corpses were yellow. If they hadn't been wearing old military caps with high roofs, and the officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces had big brimmed hats, it would have been difficult to separate them. The casualties here were also heavy, and the temporary trenches were not covered by enough obstacles on the front line. The Japanese rushed in several times, and the trenches on the front line were the same as blood. Some of the explosions were empty, and all the defenders were wiped out by large-caliber artillery shells. It required the army to have great courage to fight with these heavy artillery! But the Independent Brigade did it.

Zhang Xiongfu lay on a small hill northwest of the front line, which was a firepower position. Heavy machine guns and 107 mm heavy mortars were arranged on it. The firepower could be shot horizontally on the entire front line. There was no way for the Japanese infantry firepower to use it here. Under the correction of the seaplane, the naval artillery fire covered the place several times. However, due to distance, the shooting was not very accurate. The defenders still insisted on it here. The brigade command of the independent brigade also relied on

The front is set up here. Colonel Zhang Zhaochen, the commander of the Independent Brigade, held a telescope and lay in a trench half deep. There were shells falling from left to right, and he kept spitting out the sand in his mouth and looking at the front line attentively. The Japanese army seemed to be still marching new attack waves on their positions. The commander was half lying on the ground, calling the soldiers behind to enter the position. These Japanese soldiers were very tenacious in attacking! Our Independent Brigade had a tough time!

The current independent brigade belonging to the Ninth Division is no longer the first independent brigade. The former independent brigade was formed mainly by the officers and soldiers of the town army, and was later reorganized into the second division of the Anmeng Army. Now the Independent brigade is the 9th Division who draws officers and combat backbones from the 17th and 18th brigades, which adds nine excellent security camps in Jiangsu. It is fully equipped and well-trained. He also specially transferred the old officer of the town army back to serve as brigade commander. He hopes to maintain the tradition of the independent brigade. Among the Ninth Division, Independence is the independent brigade.

The brigade is his little brother. He, an officer from the town army, seems to be inferior to the direct military officers who started in Jiangbei and Shanghai. He tried his best to bring this new force to show his power and make people admire these officers from the town army! He Sui, who fought side by side with him in Xuecheng back then, was already a lieutenant general. Why couldn't he rely on the Japanese corpses to exchange his epaulette? That's why he was always on the front line and was grateful to Zhang Xiongfu's order to resist to the end.

Several telephone soldiers finally connected to the telephone line that had just been blown up and handed the phone to his hand. He shook his force a few times, holding the telescope while calling the commander Gao Xingyuan: "Old Gao, the fucking Japanese are coming up again... I can see clearly here, probably from the front of you. The troops of a brigade are. These Japanese don't hit the wall and don't look back. They are really crazy... What? Wow, complain to me? The casualties are huge? Two of the three battalions commanders were seriously injured? Lao Gao, I tell you, you are the officer I have been leading since the town army, don't throw my people at this time! Ammunition is not

I can replenish you, I can adjust you if the weapon is broken. No one! Starting from you, wherever you die, wherever you are buried! If you don’t block the Japanese here, we have no shame to see the common people!" He fell off his phone headphones, and at this time, he looked at a Japanese officer lying on his pose in the telescope eyepiece and then raised his head a little, just like someone pushed him back. In the telescope eyepiece, he clearly saw his brain flying backwards, and half of the sky spirit cover was lifted. Zhang Zhaochen shouted excitedly: "It's almost two thousand meters away, and the effective range of the rifle is so far away! Which sharpshooter, find out the order to reward me!"

The fierce fighting information on the Huangdao Station quickly spread from the front line to Zhang Xiongfu's military headquarters, and then to Cai E. The officers at the headquarters of the army looked at each other. Zhang Xiongfu was too brave. The northern line was shrinking as planned. When the fruit was put in, the southern line was still unyielding. Isn't this contrary to the strategic intention of the General Staff's tiger den? Zhang Xiongfu really thought he was the disciple of the emperor? In Zhouzhuang, the artillery fire on the front line could not be heard at all. But the staff seemed to be able to hear the sound of blood and fire on the front line. Under the power of heavy artillery in the Japanese Navy, the independent brigade was really carrying a species! The Japanese mark on the southern line on the map stopped at the Huangdao Station. After half a day, there was no possibility of moving forward. Compared with the thick arrows that reached dozens of kilometers in the inland of the northern line, it seemed very pitiful on the map.

Although Cai E was exhausted, he stood there full of excitement, rubbed his hands and smiled at Tang Zaili: "Zhang Zhangnan is really doing a good job! Although I don't know if he really took the initiative to think so. However, the southern line insisted on resisting and the judgment of the Japanese army's strategic situation would definitely have an impact! If I looked at this situation, I would probably want the defenders to quickly pull the main force to the south, and the front line resisted desperately to cover them! After all, the place where the Sixth Division appeared represents the main attack direction of the Japanese army, not to mention the strength.

The First Southern Detachment of the Navy! I think it is necessary to organize a counterattack on the Northern Line with the troops at hand. It consumes the enemy's spirit and continues to add new chaos to their judgments. It makes them feel that we are also uneasy about the depth of the Japanese army on the Northern Line, and the main force of the troops is wandering in these two directions. If they can really force them to make this judgment, it would be great! Lao Tang, what method can you take to make the Japanese army feel that they have discovered our reserve army's main force. How can we fool the Japanese army?"

Unlike Cai E's excited voice, Tang Zaili was looking down at a report. The expression on his face was angry and blamed himself and had an extremely heavy sadness, but in the end it turned into a gritting expression. Cai E asked strangely: "Old Tang, what's wrong?" Tang Zaili said sadly: "The Northern Line troops reported that when the Japanese army advanced forward, almost every village caught fire and smoked everywhere. There are reliable news that the Japanese army searched for so-called defense force spies in order to collect supplies. They carried out robbery and sweep in every village they passed by......

.” His voice was filled with a force that was about to explode: “A reconnaissance force discovered that there were tragedies in Jiaoxi Village, Dawangzhuang, and Gejialing villages. The village was looted, and the old and weak people who could not escape were killed. There were also signs of Chinese spies. The well was filled with the bodies of women who were raped and killed...... Shenwei Guangchen actually issued a notice saying that if a person in the village was found to inform the National Defense Forces, the whole village would be killed! These beasts would fight when they were fighting, what kind of evil do they do!”

Cai E shook his hand and took the report tremblingly (the atrocities of the Japanese army attacked Qingdao were seen in historical facts. The names of the villages mentioned above were also seen in historical facts. I hope my readers should not forget the national humiliation). Several nearby staff members surrounded him, and their expressions were filled with unbelievable shock. The air in the entire war room seemed to have solidified. After a while, Cai E gently spit out two words: "Beast..." Then the calm general suddenly broke out and slapped the table with a heavy slap: "National humiliation! We soldiers want to let these beasts enter their own territory. Let the people suffer massacre, but we cannot block the enemy's door to bring war to their territory. This is also a shame for our soldiers!" His whole body was trembling, and he could not calm down no matter how he was.

"The Northern Line must fight back. Whether strategically or simply revenge, there is this need! My guard battalion was also transported overnight. At the same time, we organized forces, and the Southern Line and the Northern Line covered the evacuation of residents! Hiding in the mountains and retreating to the west! The Northern Line counterattack troops took the 52nd Regiment as the base. Tell them not to capture them! I will bear all the responsibilities if they have been given!" He calmed down a little: "I expect the counterattack to be launched tomorrow night, fight quickly and withdraw quickly, and act like covering the transfer from the rear. At the same time, we will pass this report to the entire army and tell them what kind of beast army we are fighting! In this case, soldiers will not fulfill their duties. If they do not implement military laws, they should be ashamed!"

He looked to the sky with his hands and expressed his final sigh: "The country is above, and the nation is above, we need to be strong! Such a national humiliation will not happen again!"

At this moment, the First Field Legion headquarters was completely shrouded in a solemn and hatred feeling.

At this time, in the Tiger's Knot War Room in Jinan, he also received a report from Cai E urgently sent by cable telegrams and his counterattack idea. Sima Zhan received this report as soon as possible. He was as satisfied with the current situation on the front line as Cai E. He did not intend to correct the misjudgment of the Japanese army that the commander had stubbornly resisted on the southern line. The teacher still maintained the initiative of his field army commander and fulfilled his responsibilities on the front line. He felt a little ashamed of Cai E. He was a bit rude when he insisted on his opinion. He launched a small counterattack against Cai E's proposed northern line to curb the rapid advance of the 18th Division, and at the same time caused confusion in the judgment of the Japanese army. He also expressed his approval.

Forced resistance can not achieve his goal of deceiving the enemy. Now Sima Zhan is considering how to make the Japanese army's wrong judgment again on the issue of the preparation army, and to hide his attempts the greatest possible concealment. If it can be achieved smoothly, then the future fate of the Japanese army can be declared. So the chief of staff can be said to be in a good mood reading Cai E's telegram. It was not until he saw the last additional report of the telegram that he stood up quickly, his eyes kept twitching, and he almost instantly became congested. The staff officer next to him looked at his vicious look and asked with concern: "Director, what happened?" Sima Zhan just cursed: "It's not a fucking human!" He went to Yuchen to report.

I just took a short break at noon, and after reading the entire frontline report, I blame myself more. I knew the brute force of the Japanese army. But why didn’t I do more to evacuate the people before the war? Although the local area is large and the population is tight and the time is tight, I also did my best to do my job. Many people are unable to move the land and refuse to leave. But what if I can do more? Can I save more lives of my compatriots?

He seemed to be able to hear the huge shouts in his heart: "You came to this world to end all this! Ending these sacrifices, shame, and destruction!" He looked at Sima Zhan and knew that there was also a voice roaring in the heart of this soldier. Yuchen pulled open his collar: "Notice the whole army! Notify the whole country! We can only take revenge! And let the whole world know what kind of thing these great Japanese imperial troops are!"
