Chapter 879: Defeat the 106th Division
In order to cooperate with the actions of the new 38th Division, Tang Keqin did not cheat at all this time, and even spent a lot of effort to use the reserve team he had prepared.
June 19th afternoon.
When the new 38th Division appeared on the right side of the 106th Division of Bozhou with powerful firepower and assault clusters, Tang Keqin and Luo Qi's 195th Division were almost at the verge of being unable to stop them.
Li Ye personally led the commando team and stabbed it into the Japanese army's lung tube like a sharp knife.
The Japanese army was still too arrogant. The brigade headquarters of the 111th Infantry Brigade was exposed to the commando in absolute manner. The Chinese army's air force was basically beaten so hard that it was not daring to come out, and the artillery could not reach the range.
Therefore, the Japanese command center was easily discovered after just a little disguised.
The 111th Brigade commander Major General Yamato was so scared that he was filled with his soul. While organizing troops to block the attack, he also reported to his superiors, division commander Junroro Matsuura.
A well-equipped Chinese army suddenly entered the battlefield and swept across the road, as if entering a no-man's land.
"kill!"
Li Ye knew that there was only one chance and he had to give the enemy the most violent blow as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to fight when the Japanese army came to their senses.
This is the most advantageous opening mode for the Sino-Japanese war at present. After all, where is the quality gap? It is impossible to open the distance in a short period of time. You can only fight slowly and use strategies to be good at it, and you can catch your opponent off guard.
The new 38th Division followed behind and rushed fiercely. At the same time, a surprise force was sent to the Japanese army to send reinforcements to the 111th Brigade, and a raid on Bozhou City. For the Japanese army, an unprepared city battle began.
Two heavy artillery battalions launched violent artillery bombardment on the Japanese positions, and the new 38th Division, which had a very high degree of mechanization, easily tore open the Japanese army's periphery defense of Bozhou.
Tang Keqin's 20th Army also launched a counterattack, while Rochi's 95th Division tightly bites a Japanese infantry regiment.
The battle is a dark and dark place!
However, judging from the news that the Chinese army has already gained the upper hand, and the new 38 is this fierce attack tactic that disrupted the Japanese offensive steps.
The time point for the raid was very good, it happened to be at the point of the Japanese attack!
The Japanese army was about to launch a devastating attack on the 20th Army and the 95th Division, which blocked its own. Most of the troops were not on the position, so they were ready to charge!
As a result, the New First Army Assault Detachment and the New 38th Division suddenly came out and quickly changed their defense tactics. The time difference between them caused a huge loss to the Japanese army.
Especially the Japanese artillerymen, they had just put the gun mount away, loaded the shells into the ammunition box, and carried them onto the ammunition truck. As a result, they suddenly beat the shells down, causing heavy casualties.
The timing is great!
In this battle, as long as the commanding general is not a fool, it will not be difficult not to win.
Tang Keqin let out a sigh of depression. This time, it was a typical example of making wedding dresses for people. What might happen? He couldn't stop the Japanese attack. He was here to help him, so what else could he say?
Besides, the military order said that in less than three days, just now, once the collapsed, his troops would all be dispersed. At that time, I don’t know what the outcome would be.
Now at least he can follow behind and beat the Japanese, and he can also exclaim his anger, and he can still make some contributions.
"Okay, the new 38th Division joined forces with the Tang Army to defeat the main force of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army and recovered Bozhou City!" In the evening, Xue Boling, who was waiting at the Guide Frontier Command, came with such encouraging good news!
As soon as the news was announced, the entire Corps Frontier Command happily applauded, sweeping away the current dull decline.
This news is not a good thing for the Japanese army. The main force of the 106th Division was rushing to cut off the Longhai Road. Rescuing Kenji Doihara and Manta Nishima who were seeking help from Guide were just an accompanying task.
The real purpose is to cut off the Longhai Road, prevent the National Army troops from retreating west from the Five War Zones, and eliminate the elite Chinese troops as much as possible to achieve the goal of consuming opponents.
Just as the goal was about to be achieved, the 106th Division was suddenly hit by the new 38th Division, and the division commander Junroro Matsuura had to order the troops to evacuate from the chaotic battlefield and move closer to the Woyang area.
After the raid plan was completed, Li Ye led the assault group back, while the new 38th Division sent troops to pursue the attack, while the main force moved towards Xiayi and handed over all the defense in Bozhou to the Tang Army.
Of course, the New 38th Division took away the spoils and ammunition they deserved to replenish, and the remaining work of cleaning the battlefield was left to the Tang Army Group to clean up slowly.
Tang Keqin was very angry. Luo Yufeng's attitude was, after all, he was a junior, and a junior. Why didn't he give him any face? At least he came to meet him and sent a small adviser to explain the situation, then patted his butt and left?
It's clear that you are despised!
But it’s useless to be angry, so I can clean up the mess. The 20th Legion can take this opportunity to rest for two or three days.
The new 38th Division is also a mechanized unit. The best tactic is roundabout movement. If it is fixed in a certain place, it will become a target to attract the enemy.
Moreover, the New 38th Division made this vote, which must be urgent for the Japanese army. It is very dangerous to stay in Bozhou. The best thing is to take advantage of the chaos before the enemy came to their senses and escape.
This is also an invisible deterrent to the Japanese army.
The Japanese army knew that such a powerful mechanized unit had arrived south of the Longhai Line and defeated the elite 106th Division in one fell swoop, but now it disappeared.
I don’t know where it is, this is the most terrifying thing. If you don’t know where it may appear next time, the Japanese army will not dare to act rashly.
This is like a sword of Damosk, hanging on his head at any time. This is undoubtedly the most uncomfortable for the Japanese army that is attacking.
The Japanese Army Command, located in Bengbu, Anhui Province, was in the southern line commander Hanedahara's support Lieutenant General, received a report from Junroro Matsuura, and his nose was so angry that he was crooked.
I thought Matsuura's 106th Division would make a breakthrough first, but the attack on Xuzhou temporarily slowed down at his request, with the purpose of delaying the Chinese army on the Longhai line.
Once the 3rd and 9th Divisions in Xuzhou are too fierce, the Chinese army on the Longhai Line will immediately abandon the Longhai Line and retreat into western Shandong. In that case, the plan to annihilate the Chinese army will be disappointed.
First, we must close the gate of eastern Henan, that is, Guide, and then cut off the gate of Xuzhou to retreat westward through the Longhai Line, and then launch a north-south attack to eliminate all Chinese troops in western Shandong.
The plan is beautiful, but whether it can be done is another matter.
The new 38th Division defeated the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, and bought several days for Wakashima Manta, the main force of the Japanese Doihara Division who surrounded and annihilated Guide, who was the 1st Corps in the East Henan Province.
Kenji Doihara did not expect that after a few days of fierce battle with Toshima Yataro, the new 38th Division had such strong combat power. The long-distance raid actually defeated the main force of the 106th Division. It was completely unimaginable how this was done.
The reinforcements were defeated, and it was difficult to organize troops to support him in a short period of time. His and Niujima's life in Guide was even more difficult.
The morale of the Japanese army suddenly reached a new low.
Kenji Doihara wanted to hide it, but the Chinese were too "despicable" and actually took the items related to the 106th Division seized on the battlefield to display them. He even found Japanese people who spoke to read the diary of Japanese soldiers of the 106th Division while they were resting and having dinner through a loudspeaker.
Some people originally believed that this was a forgery by the "Chinese", with the purpose of shaking their military morale and confusing their fighting spirit.
But gradually, some people believed it because there were fellow villagers among the soldiers, classmates who were studying together, and the knowledge of fellow villagers and some secret things in the diary. You can’t make up this “Chinese”, right?
Is it so real?
"This Leng Guoguang is really a bit unethical. How could he come up with such a bad idea?"
"This is called psychological tactics. When the Chu-Han and Han Dynasty were fighting each other, Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, did this with the fight against him. Huge was facing the west, and the fighting spirit of the Chu army was disintegrated overnight. Do you think it is powerful?" Xue Boling said.
"This is a little Japanese, can it be the same as the Chu army?"
"They are also human beings. They come from thousands of miles to fight on our country, so they don't miss home?" Xue Boling said, "As long as they have a little bit of human nature, they will collapse sooner or later."
"Will you still fight?"
"You didn't realize that our troops are much easier today than yesterday, and the Japanese army's resistance is also declining?" Xue Boling asked.
"That's their physical strength and willpower are declining."
"Isn't our plan effective?"
"Sir Xue, what do you want me to say..."
"Report, Chief Xue, we captured a prisoner..."
"Prisoner, this is very new. After fighting for so many days, apart from the Japanese army who died, he has never captured a single prisoner." Wu Xiqi said.
"A Japanese prisoner, who is fussy, just send him into the prisoner camp and locked up." Xue Boling said lightly.
"Sir Xue, the prisoner said he wanted to see you!"
"See me?" Xue Boling was stunned. He was so famous that even the Japanese army knew about it. Could it be that the Japanese were causing some conspiracy.
"Sir Xue, there is no problem with this, is there anything that a Japanese prisoner can see?"
"The Japanese prisoner said a set of numbers and said that you will see him after hearing it."
“What number?”
“9527!”
"Take someone to see me right away!" A ray of shock flashed out in Xue Boling's eyes, and he ordered without waiting for Wu Xiqi to speak.
"Who is Chief Xue?" The Japanese prisoners were brought here, and they spoke pure Chinese and authentic official accent.
"I am!" Xue Boling walked up to him.
"Can you loosen your ties first? It's a big hit on the way." Lai Ren said.
Xue Boling waved his hand slightly, and the two guards let go and were about to untie the rope.
"No need." The rope tied to the "captive" fell to the ground.
"Sir Xue, can you ask for a bowl of water to drink? It's hot this day and I'm thirsty."
"Give it to him!"
"Thank you, Chief Xue. I'm here to go to Yao Heizi, the New First Army Yaksha Special Operations Team, the captain of the first team." Yao Heizi drank a bowl of water and saluted Xue Boling.
"How come Captain Yao appears here? Why don't we capture prisoners?"
"To be honest, if I hadn't let you capture me on my own initiative, Chief Xue's subordinates wouldn't have caught me, Yao Heizi!" Yao Heizi said with a chuckling.
"I'm not a little bit, why are you wearing Japanese military uniforms and being captured by us?" Wu Xiqi asked.
"These days, Chief Xue has besieged Guide, and I am among the Japanese army. You just don't know. Otherwise, where did you get so much information?"
"You said, are you mingling among the Japanese army?" Xue Boling was shocked. This is too scary. Are all Japanese fools? Don't you know that a Chinese spy has survived in by his side?
"Yes, not only me, but our team is here."
Xue Boling's eyes widened and looked at Yao Heizi with an incredible look, frightened and speechless.
