Chapter 119: Flesh Mill Luodian 1
Ianzetsu explained: "Commander, the bad luck that the 9th Division suffered is ultimately the main responsibility for the intelligence agency."
Matsui Ishigen frowned because the intelligence agencies made mistakes since the launch of the Battle of Songhu. After pondering for a while, Matsui Ishigen came back to his senses and signaled Ishigen to continue. Ishigen nodded slightly and continued: "The Chinese army hollowed out the entire Baoshan County and released thousands of tons of strong explosives. The Ninth Division occupied the entire Baoshan County and was clearing out the remaining Chinese army, and the remaining Chinese army in the city detonated the explosives."
"Baga!" Matsui Ishigen roared: "Damn the intelligence agency! They should all apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!" After calming down, Matsui Ishigen asked: "How is the casualties of the 9th Division?!"
Ianze Shou replied in a low voice: "The commander of the division, Yoshizuru Ryosuke, is all broken!"
"Nani?!" Matsui Ishigen's eyes turned dark, and the dizziness of the sky suddenly surged up, as if they were in the depths of the sea of clouds, and like catkins fluttering in the wind. When their legs were weak and they were about to fall down, Matsui Ishigen hurriedly grabbed the iron chain on the side of the ship.
"General!" Ianzesawa rushed to support Matsui Ishien and asked, "General, are you okay?"
Matsui Ishione shook his hand and said, "Block the news immediately. Report the matter of the 9th Division to the Tokyo Base Camp. Please ask the Tokyo Base Camp to hold the intelligence agencies accountable!"
Paper cannot keep the fire. Although the Japanese army blocked the news tightly. However, how could such a strong explosion like an earthquake be concealed? The Chinese team, which was fighting against the Japanese army, was not far from Baoshan. Soon, a telegram about the situation in Baoshan County was transmitted to the front command of the Third War Zone.
"Junzu! Lin Aofeng's troops and the 90th Division urgently called the emergency telegram." The director of the confidential office walked into the war room with the two telegrams he had just received.
Chen Cheng, Luo Zhuoying and Xue Yue looked at each other. Chen Cheng took the telegram and looked at it, and handed it over to Luo Zhuoying and Xue Yue. After Xue Yue and Luo Zhuoying finished reading the telegram, Chen Cheng asked, "What do you think?!"
Xue Yue said: "We are not clear about the casualties of the Japanese army attacking Baoshan County. However, since Lin Aofeng's troops have successfully broken through, we will act according to the original plan and let them cooperate with the 11th Division to recover Luodian."
"I have the same idea as Boling!" Luo Zhuoying glanced at Chen Cheng and continued: "From the Baoshan defense battle, it can be seen that Lin Aofeng is very good at defending. After taking down Luodian, I suggest that a regiment of troops be drawn from the second-line troops to supplement the Independent Eighth Brigade, so that Lin Aofeng will continue to command the troops to defend Luodian. The 11th Division retreated to the second-line to ensure the safety of Lin Aofeng's left wing."...
When Chen Cheng and the other two discussed how to defend after taking Luodian, Lin Aofeng led the troops who broke through Baoshan to find the 11th Division.
"Teacher, the commander of the 8th Independent Brigade wants to see you!"
Peng Shan, the commander of the 11th Division, heard the guard's report, his eyes lit up and said with a smile: "Please come in!"
"Yes!" The guard responded and turned around and walked out of the division headquarters. The chief of staff standing beside Peng Shan couldn't help but say, "Teacher, this Lin Aofeng is not simple! Command a brigade to compete with two Japanese divisions in Baoshan, and he can escape unscathed."
Before the Chief of Staff finished his words, Peng Shan smiled and said, "It is because Lin Aofeng can fight that I have to meet him even more! I want to see what the commander of the Independent Eighth Brigade, which made the Japanese frightened, looks like!"
"It's so sloppy, not ugly!" Lin Aofeng walked into the 11th Division headquarters, saluted Peng Shan and said, "The 8th Independence Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army is ordered to report!"
Peng Shan smiled and walked around the table covered with the map to Lin Aofeng, grabbed Lin Aofeng's hand and said, "Your Independence Eighth Brigade has shown the majesty of the most powerful of us in Baoshan!"
"There is there! Commander Peng has been too much! It is our duty as a soldier to defend the country! Chenxi is ashamed of being able to defend Baoshan County." Lin Aofeng's face showed a faint sadness. Peng Shan sighed and persuaded him a few times, then pulled Lin Aofeng to the map and said: "At present, five divisions have been invested in Shanghai, and the 12th Regiment of the 10th Brigade of the Japanese 11th Division is occupied by Luodian."
Lin Aofeng said lightly: "It should be five divisions and two heavy artillery brigades. The division flag of the Third Division was seized by our headquarters. According to the rules of the Japanese flag being established and the flag being destroyed, the remnants of the Third Division were probably organized into the reserve force to supplement the consumption of other divisions. There is no need to worry about the Ninth Division, they have basically been crippled by us. Commander Peng, if you respect your brothers, you will regain Luodian and our headquarters will take the lead. What do you think?!"
"This..." Peng Shan hesitated for a while and said, "Chenxi, you have to think it through!"
Lin Aofeng, who understood Peng Shan's thoughts, said expressionlessly: "Teacher Peng, you and I are both soldiers of the Party and the country. I know what you want. I am willing to issue a military order and lead my troops to recover Luodian before dawn tomorrow. If I can't take Luodian, I am willing to be engaged in military law."
Peng Shan thought of Luo Zhuoying's words, and showed an awkward expression on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Since Brother Chenxi has made up his mind, I won't say much! I need anything, just say it!"
Lin Aofeng said lightly: "Just let my brothers have a good meal and then add some ammunition to us!"
"This requirement is simple, I'll ask someone to do it immediately!" After that, Peng Shan winked at his chief of staff. The chief of staff nodded in understanding and ran out of the soldier.
The evening breeze blew gently, shattering a trace of dust. After about an hour, Lin Aofeng walked out of the 11th Division headquarters and returned to the temporary station. Cao Yong, who was chatting with his brothers, saw Lin Aofeng listless appearance, immediately picked up the hot food on the fire, followed Lin Aofeng into the temporary office, and said, "Hi, you must be hungry! Have a meal!"
"Thank you!" Lin Aofeng took the lunch box and lowered his head and started eating. As he was eating, Lin Aofeng remembered his men who were killed in Baoshan, stopped unconsciously and said, "Cao Yong, let the brothers hurry up and rest. In two hours, we will launch an attack on Luodian as pioneers."
"Yes!" Cao Yong was stunned for a moment, responded and walked out of the office...
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Lin Aofeng led his troops to the outside of Luodian. Looking at Luodian, which was close to him, Lin Aofeng calmly analyzed: "After fighting for so many days, the 12th Japanese Regiment that defended Luodian must be very tired. I guess their reinforcements will come soon. We must take down Luodian before dawn."
"You can just say how to fight! Brothers, please listen to you!" Liu Changsheng said confidently.
Lin Aofeng turned his head and looked at the soldiers behind him. He saw the soldiers staring at him with bright eyes. As if each pair of eyes was telling Lin Aofeng: "Host, you take us with us, even if we go up to the mountain and down the sea of fire, we are willing!" After understanding the soldiers' eyes of fighting, Lin Aofeng nodded heavily and said, "Liu Changsheng, you can lead a company to attack from the north of the town. Remember not to fight in love, just attract the Japanese firepower and lure the Japanese out of the town. The rest of the people followed me into the west of the town. Remember, you must not shoot unless you have to. All those who can be solved with bayonets are solved with bayonets. Did you hear that?!"
"I heard it!" the soldiers replied neatly.
Lin Aofeng nodded slightly, checked the ammunition and weapons on his body, and issued an order to act...
"Da da...da da..."
"Bang...bang..." "Bang...bang..."
"Nani?! Where did the gunshots come from?!" Akatsura Sugiura, the captain of the Third Battalion of the 12th Regiment of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army who were staying in Luodian, heard the gunshots and jumped up from the bed, put on his clothes and ran out of the bedroom, and collided with the staff who came to report.
The staff officer hurriedly supported Akita Sugiura and said, "Master, the Chinese army suddenly launched an attack on us."
When Sugiura Akita heard the report, he immediately calmed down and asked, "Do you know it is the Chinese army's unit?"
The staff officer replied: "I don't know. But these Chinese troops are different from any Chinese troops we have encountered. This unit has very strong firepower. The troops defending Zhenbei have suffered heavy casualties."
"Bageya Road!" Sugiura Akita roared and said, "A squadron is retained in the town, and the remaining troops surround the Chinese army in the north of the town from the left and right wings, and strive to repel the Chinese army's attack within an hour."
"Hi!" The staff officer responded and quickly conveyed Akihito Sugiura's order.
When the Japanese army in Luodian Town was busy mobilizing, Lin Aofeng brought the remaining soldiers in Japanese uniforms into Luodian. Taking advantage of the Japanese army's inattention, this unit with white cloth wrapped around their hands and wearing the same outfit as them, Lin Aofeng pulled Cao Yong to his side and said softly: "Take two platoons and sneak attack the Japanese army from behind, and cooperate with Liu Changsheng to destroy the Japanese army in the north of the town."
"Yes!" After Cao Yong took the order, he waved his hand and quietly touched the north of the town along the eaves. After Cao Yong left, Lin Aofeng took out the map, determined the location of the Japanese command center, and quickly avoided the patrolling Japanese troops with the remaining soldiers and rushed to the Japanese command center.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was the will of heaven. Lin Aofeng led the soldiers to the Japanese command department, and before he could launch an attack, Sugiura Aotai happened to drive out from inside, and saw Lin Aofeng and others standing at the door, and asked, "You are that army?"
