Chapter 137: Encirclement and annihilation of Niudao brigade (II)

After the county government personnel and people evacuated, the ** in Guangji area quickly gave up Guangji County and retreated to the Siwangshan line.

When the Niudao brigade entered Guangji County, the major general soon discovered that Guangji was an empty city, with no grain or bullet in the city. The most terrible thing was that the wells in the city were either filled with dead dogs and cats, or they were filled with death. After entering the city, the Japanese army burned fire and cooked without water, so they could only go to a long distance outside the city to pull water.

Before General Inaba Shilang was awakened from the joy of occupying Guangji, he immediately found that his Huangmei Xiaochikou supply base was besieged by heavy troops. The traffic line from Taihu Line to Huangmei was completely cut off, and all supplies could only be carried out by the Yangtze River waterway. Especially after the war, Major General Niudao Man urgently asked for supplies, but the supplies from Xiaochikou could not be released at all. The 13th infantry registrar of the Imamura Brigade defended the Huangmei to Guangji Line stronghold and did not want to be pulled out. In order to understand the siege of Xiaochikou, he had to concentrate his troops back to Xiaochi.

Unexpectedly, the 13th Japanese Army Regiment was besieged by the heavy troops before reaching Xiaochi. The corps rushed all the way and finally rushed to the periphery of Xiaochi. However, more troops surrounded the corps. Not only did the siege at Xiaochikou not be untied, but instead trapped the 13th Japanese Army Regiment.

Major General Niujima Man from Guangji expedited telegrams a day, which made the lieutenant general feel very bad. At this time, Lieutenant General Inaba was so angry that his teeth were itchy. Several Japanese divisions in Jiangnan were attacking, and he was the only division in Jiangbei, and now the troops were seriously insufficient. The most hateful thing is **'s tactics, which seemed to have completely changed. The fighting style of the fifth war zone was somewhat similar to that of Taierzhuang, but not exactly the same. The angry division commander had to ask for help from the commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Yasuji, and asked the commander to send more reinforcements.

Lieutenant General Okamura was also upset. Although Jiujiang was defeated, his troops were full of injuries, especially the 9th Division and the 101st Division, which almost lost their combat effectiveness. He had to rest on the front line of Jiujiang. The 6th Division, which had originally had high hopes, had a smooth start. Who would have thought of this situation? "Baga, what's wrong with Inaba Jun? He wants reinforcements, and I also want reinforcements, but why do I have the nerve to speak to the military headquarters?" The Lieutenant General thought hatefully.

The 2nd Army of North China, which had just been assigned to the Central China dispatched army, attacked all the way and was blocked by Song Xilian's 71st Army on the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains. He also secretly joked that he was going to do something big in Jiangnan and humiliate the officials of the military headquarters. Now, he was also trapped by the water nets and hills in Jiangnan. Lieutenant General Gang Village ordered Lieutenant General Inaba Silang to take down the fortress of Tianjia Town, open up the Yangtze River waterway, and cut off the Yangtze River blockade.

General Inaba Shiro, who received the telegram, understood the commander's situation. Now there was only one way. It seemed that he had to let Niujima Man work harder and conquer Tianjia Town. The 13th Regiment could only ask for his own blessings, hoping to break out of the encirclement. Major General Niujima Man took a breath after receiving the telegram. Although he was about to take the risk, he did not expect that it would be a little supplement and launched an attack. He could still stand up when he was hungry, but the guns could not be fired without ammunition. Some time ago, the soldiers expended a lot of ammunition and did not replenish the battles.

So Major General Niujima gritted his teeth and sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Inaha, asking that even if it was a little ammunition. Lieutenant General Inaha, who was so anxious that the war cursed Major General Niujima: "Baga, are you still like a general of the Great Japanese Empire? If your ammunition is not sufficient, is it less than the Chinese? Where is your samurai spirit? Go to the fortress of Tianjia Town to seize weapons and ammunition. The ammunition is piled up there, and you can take as much as you can if you have the ability." After that, he pressed the phone with a jam.

Major General Niujima suppressed his anger. The division commander could do this to him. He could not assign attack tasks to his subordinates like this. He had to give condolences from one squadron and one squadron to encourage the soldiers to try their best to take down the fortress of Tianjia Town. As long as he took down the fortress, there would be food and ammunition. Before leaving, Major General Niujima gathered his troops and loudly encouraged the soldiers: "Your Majesty the Emperor! Your sword made the Chinese people frightened. Your steps crossed the Pacific Ocean and stepped across Nanjing City. Now, let God Amaterasu witness again. Your bayonet and courage conquered the Yangtze River Fortress! God Amaterasu bless you! His Majesty the Emperor stared at each of you soldiers, for His Majesty the Emperor and for the Great Japanese Empire! Go forward!"

The blood of the soldiers of the Niudao Detachment was boiling, and each soldier silently said in his heart: We are the glorious 6th Division, the invincible 6th Division! Finally, all the Japanese soldiers shouted in unison: "Long live the Emperor! Long live the empire!" The neat team turned to the right collectively, with their thick short legs taking neat steps, and the cowhide boots made a loud crackling sound. They headed south.

Major General Niudao is not a reckless general. He is ready to leave Guangji County and is likely to be surrounded by heavy troops. The conceited general and his chief of staff have also made plans to deal with it. He gathered the two squadrons' Type 97 tanks and their own armored cars together. As a vanguard, once the Chinese team was blocked, the armored soldiers would use their tracks to crush the body without hesitation, opening a bloody path for the Japanese army.

Besides, the main force in Siwangshan area rested and regained their strength for three days, waiting solemnly, waiting for the Niudao Detachment to plunge into the encirclement. The task of preparing for the Second Division was to stop the head. The reason why Bai Chongxi handed over the task to Yue Han was that he trusted him to have the ability to block the Japanese chariot squadron.

Yue Han? He took a lot of effort to deal with the Japanese tank squadron. At this time, the Japanese tank was the latest 97 medium tank, with a total combat weight of 15.5 tons and a diesel engine. Although the Japanese tanks were only considered light tanks compared with the world's powerful tanks at that time, and they were very garbage. But in Asia, they were still very advanced tanks.

Yue Han? First, dig anti-tank trenches on the path that the Japanese army must pass. Two high grounds were connected at both ends. The distance was measured on the high ground and installed peacefully fired mortars. Once the tanks of the Japanese vanguard were blocked from the anti-tank trenches and had no conscience guns, the flat-fired mortars were first knocked off the Japanese tanks, and then used firepower to kill and injure the Japanese infantry.

At noon that day, just after lunch, the ** soldiers were chatting in the trenches, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army. Suddenly, the roar of the engine was heard from afar. "Here, the Japanese are here!" The ** soldiers shouted. The commanders also issued orders to prepare for the battle. The trenches became lively, and the soldiers occupied their positions one after another, holding steel guns tightly, putting their fingers on the trigger, and staring coldly at the front.

Entering the Siwang Mountain area, the Japanese army increased their firepower reconnaissance efforts. Almost every hill on the roadside fired two cannons to test whether there were ambushing. The soldiers ambushed on the hill received the orders of the commander. Without the orders to go up the peak, no one was allowed to fight back and not expose their lurking location. Therefore, the Japanese guns were very lively, but the hill was quiet and there was no reaction at all.

The Japanese army continued to advance with confidence and boldness. When the tank found an anti-tank trenches in front of it, it immediately reported to Major General Niudao in flags. According to the deployment, the Japanese engineers immediately stepped forward and built bridges with steel plates. At the same time, the sound of cannons on the hilltops on both sides made loud noises. The gunners who fired the mortars had already lowered the muzzle and measured the ruler. One round of 82 mortar shells rushed out of the muzzle, and "bang bang" with huge kinetic energy first crashed into the two leading Japanese tanks. Two loud "cooling" sounds, and the Japanese tanks at the foot of the mountain turned into two bright fireballs, burning a raging fire.

The light and heavy machine guns in the trenches on both sides opened fire together, and the fierce firepower swept towards the Japanese engineers who built the bridge. The Japanese engineers were like harvested leeks and were knocked down in pieces. Japanese tanks could not develop combat formations in narrow terrain, and could only two units as one combat unit, using their own armor to open fire to the surrounding ** positions. The direct-fired mortars of the Preparatory Second Division quickly adjusted the muzzle and opened fire at the Japanese tanks. The huge kinetic energy of the 82 mortar shells easily tear apart the Japanese tanks.

The armor, the cannon without conscience, was not showing any weakness. The huge cannon body was cast out. With a loud loud noise, the cannon directly hit the tracks of the Japanese tank flanks. With a "boom", the tracks of the tank were like paper-paste toys, the "cry" steel belt broke, the tank burned into a large fireball, and it was spinning in place. Another tank hit the stop. With the sound, a sufficient amount of strong cannon ignited the tank ammunition compartment, causing a larger-scale death explosion, and the tank turret was blown away.

Japanese tanks and armored vehicles resisted tenaciously for a while, but the terrain restricted the movement of the vehicle body. The two squadrons had more than 30 tanks and armored vehicles. In just 30 minutes, 12 were destroyed and 3 injured. The remaining tanks and armored vehicles were reversing rapidly, trying to retreat. The infantry following the tanks attacked them with the tanks. Once the tank retreated, the infantry immediately fell into chaos. Some Japanese tanks crushed their soldiers when they reversed. Some Japanese soldiers who had their legs broken, and some were crushed into meat mud. The infantry kept dodging their tanks, and the Japanese tanks dodged their infantry again, shouting, motors, and whistles sounded, and the battlefield was in chaos.

The battlefield was originally narrow, but now it suddenly fell into greater chaos. The Second Preparatory Division easily intercepted the Japanese army. The light and heavy firepower on the hills on both sides was aimed at the foot of the mountain. The shells flew everywhere, the guns and bullets were like rain, and flesh and blood splashed. The Japanese soldiers kept wailing. More than 30 tanks and armored vehicles were quickly beaten into a pile of scrap iron under direct firepower attack of the Second Preparatory Division. These tank soldiers had almost no chance to climb out and were directly shocked or burned to death in tanks and armored vehicles. The Japanese infantry who had lost the cover of the tank were directly exposed to the firepower shooting and were shot in groups by guns and bullets.

Major General Niujima Man never dreamed that his careful attack operation was ready to be surrounded and had a solution. He did not expect that ** could easily destroy his tank without anti-armored weapons. The direct-firing mortar and conscience-free cannon in the telescope impressed him too deeply. The terrifying explosion sound and precise direct-firing firepower fully exerted the power of the weapon. The major general secretly exclaimed in his heart, "The Chinese people are so smart. Why didn't we think that the mortar can be used like this? The ** bag can be directly projected."

Major General Rongniu Island savored it carefully and launched a counterattack on the whole line. The loud charge opened the prelude to the maximum counterattack. On the surrounding hills and in the trenches, the soldiers rushed down the hill with submachine guns with sharp bayonets and jumped out of the trenches. They pressed towards the Japanese army like a sea of ​​storms. The Japanese army was tightly compressed within a radius of less than ten miles and under attack from all sides.

In an emergency, Chief of Staff Nakajo Nakasa came to the Major General, "General, please change your clothes with me. I have arranged a strong squadron to protect you and rush out. Let me command here." Major General Niujima Man hugged the Chief of Staff tightly, "Nakajo, thank you, can I go back? Death in the battlefield is the destination of the Imperial General."

Nakajo anxiously advised: "General, my 6th Division uses the strength of a division to fight against the Chinese army's more than 100,000 troops, even if it is defeated, it is still honorable. As long as the general can go back alive, the army commander and the dispatcher commander will not let you apologize. Believe me, general, the empire needs you to whip again and fight in the battlefield. The warriors need generals like generals to lead to make achievements and conquer China." Nakajo bowed deeply, "General, please! It's too late, once the Chinese people divide our troops and intersperse our troops, the possibility of breaking through is almost zero."

Major General Niujima Man bowed deeply with gratitude, "Zakatsuki, must rush out!" After saying that, he took off his general uniform and handed it to the chief of staff. He changed the soldiers' clothes and led the squadron to move in the weakest direction in the chaos. Perhaps, Niujima Man should not die. A squadron led by him broke through the siege from the junction of the 86th Army's positions in one fell swoop. The combat effectiveness of the Guangxi army was also quite strong. When the Japanese army was suddenly attacked, the 86th Army's troops stubbornly blocked. When Major General Niujima broke out of the siege and counted the number of people around him, there were only 9 soldiers, and they were all injured.

Nakajo Nakasa was not so lucky. Under the centripetal attack of **, he kept dividing and interspersing the Japanese army, and ate the besieged Japanese army bit by bit. Nakajo shook his body full of blood. When he slowly fell to the ground, he clearly heard the ** soldiers exclaim, "This is a general, he actually shot and killed a Japanese general."
