No one thought that Mengda would dare to take the initiative to attack. Everyone in the guard camp and the shotgun brigade knew that this would be another fierce battle, but since the commander decided to fight, they must use their full energy to kill the Japanese. The team of less than 700 people quietly
Going down the back mountain and taking a detour, we arrived at the Japanese military camp in the afternoon.
"Commander, I will sneak in with my men and let's take action tonight." Meng Da was observing the enemy's situation, and Wang Yong hurriedly made suggestions.
"No, let the soldiers disperse and shout for me!"
"Ah!" Wang Yong and Song Tiecheng were shocked. What kind of tactic is this? The Japanese army has more than 5,000 people, and they are less than 700. It is already suspenseful for a small force to attack a large number of enemies, and they still have to shout for an attack.
!
"Quickly, execute the order!"
"yes!"
"Da da da——"
"kill!"
The commander of the 50th Division sneered at Qilin Peak. Everyone said that Meng Da was very good at fighting, but what he saw was exactly the opposite. A small number of troops were not a sneak attack, how could an attack like this be undefeated! However, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.
The little Japanese were defeated, and the guard battalion formed a skirmish line and advanced with guns in hand. Under the fierce firepower, the Japanese army had no power to fight back.
"He was just lucky!" The 50th Division Commander said the words unknowingly, but found that Ma Zhanhe was staring at him.
"Let me tell you a story!" Ma Zhanhe looked at Teacher ** for a long time and suddenly said this strange sentence. Before the other party could react, he had already started:
During the Warring States Period, there was an archery expert named Geng Lei in the Wei State.
One day, Geng Lei went hunting with the King of Wei in the countryside. A wild goose flew slowly from a distance, hooting as it flew. Geng Lei looked at it carefully, pointed at the wild goose and said to the King of Wei: "Your Majesty, I don't need arrows.
, just pull the bow and the wild goose will fall down."
"Really?" King Wei couldn't believe his own ears and asked, "Do you have such ability?"
Geng Lei said: "Please let me try." Geng Lei did not take the arrow. He held the bow in his left hand and pulled the string with his right hand. He only heard a bang sound, and the goose flew up and flapped its wings twice.
Suddenly it fell straight from mid-air.
The commander of the 50th Division understood that this was a frightened story, but he quickly understood why Mazhanhe told this story. Isn't this the same as the battle in front of him? It was Mengda who caught the Japanese army that had become frightened, so he dared to use a small number of troops
He went to attack. He raised his head in shame: "I am convinced. Commander Meng has courage, a strategy, and even more courage. No wonder the little devils are so afraid of him!"
"He also knows how to cherish the lives of soldiers!" Ma Zhanhe added.
The Japanese army was unprepared and the Chinese soldiers dared to attack. When rows of bullets flew over, no one was frightened by the hail of bullets. Seeing the captain of the regiment taking the lead in escaping, the imperial soldiers who claimed to be bushido no longer ignored their dignity and abandoned the barracks.
All the baggage inside fled.
"What a beautiful thought, I have a second dish waiting to be served, Papilio!"
"arrive!"
"Order the cavalry to attack!"
"yes!"
In the headquarters of the Ninth Theater Command, Xue Yue heard the battle report that Meng Da had defeated the Japanese Miyazaki Regiment with an attack of more than 700 people. He was so shocked that he could not say a word while holding the phone. The chief of staff took it over and asked: "
Those who lie about military intelligence and war results will be beheaded!"
"Chief of Staff, I personally witnessed this battle at Qilin Peak. Besides, this is their credit. Do I need to add insult to injury?" The commander of the 50th Division knew that no one who heard about this could believe it, so he had to tell him what he knew.
Everything was told in detail.
"The frightened bird! What a good metaphor!" Xue Yue fully believed that Meng Da had this ability. When he heard the commander of the 50th Division say the frightened bird, he knew that the young commander had guessed the psychology of the Japanese army and defeated the two coalition forces by surprise.
Although not all the Japanese troops were wiped out, more than two thousand enemies were wiped out. This huge victory certainly made him very happy.
"From the time Qilin Peak was handed over to him for defense until now, his troops have only suffered four casualties, while the Japanese have suffered more than six thousand casualties. My dear, he has achieved greater results than our more than 100,000 troops!" the chief of staff exclaimed in amazement.
said.
"Tell the troops surrounding the 106th Division that if you dare to delay the opportunity again, I will kill someone!" Xue Yue was very angry. Meng Da slapped him, which made him lose his temper.
"After suffering repeated setbacks at Qilin Peak, the 27th Division advanced southward to Tianqiao River on October 1st, occupied Ruoxi before dawn on October 5th, and left the 106th Division behind on the 7th, turning its main force to the west.
, advancing towards Xintanpu. On the East Lud Star Line, the enemy has not made any progress. Therefore, the enemy's 106th Division has been isolated and helpless."
Xue Yue nodded. The chief of staff's analysis was spot on. He held his head high and said: "Order! The main force of the 74th Army will attack Changling, Zhanggushan and other places east of Wanjialing; the main force of the 4th Army will move northeast of Wanjialing.
The enemy attacked the Dajinshan and Dajinshan; the 58th Division attacked the enemy from Shiziyan to Wanjialing and Wangjiashan.
The 142nd Division, with the cooperation of the New 15th Division, attacked the enemy at Shibao Mountain; the Reserve 6th Division, with the cooperation of the 81st Division, advanced to Doumu Ridge and the area east of Fenghuang Mountain to annihilate the enemy at Wangjialing at the northern end of Shibao Mountain.
; The first part of the 91st Division was responsible for destroying the enemy near Qingtoukou and assisting in blocking the enemy's escape route to the north; the New 13th Division used part of its troops to go around Hejiashan, Fenghuang Mountain, and the northwest of Shibao Mountain to launch a side and rear attack on the Japanese army
.”
"yes!"
At this time, our army had a clear advantage in strength and strong morale. Our army launched attacks on the enemy's 106th Division from the east and west at the same time. The enemy and we fought repeatedly and the battle was fierce. Previously, the enemy's 106th Division had been annihilated.
Half of them were short of food and ammunition, so they relied entirely on air drops. The enemy's 106th Division was surrounded by us on all sides and had become a turtle in a urn.
Enemy reinforcements were coming from Wuyong Road, and the Japanese troops on the Dexing Line were also advancing westward. Xue Yue knew that it would be difficult to completely capture the 106th Division, so he had to order all units to retreat. In front of the theater command department, hundreds of cars loaded with supplies were waiting to set off.
Xue Yue, who saw him off, exclaimed: "You have made another fortune."
"Hahahaha, you kid is so damn stingy. Two regiments only have so much wealth." Meng Da laughed loudly and waved his hand and ordered: "Let's go!"
"yes!"
"This guy is greedy for money but not for merit. He gave the credit to the 50th Division." Luo Zhuoying looked at the back of the retreating convoy and couldn't help but speak.
"It was a credit to him to kill the Japanese at Qilin Peak, and we killed more than 10,000 people in the 106th Division. We couldn't have done it without him holding on to Qilin Peak. He is a handsome man, but it's a pity, a pity!" Xue Yue felt sorry for Meng Da again and again.
, if young people can devote themselves to **, they will be a star in less than a year.
"I heard that his pharmaceutical factory in the United States can earn more than 20 million US dollars a year. If it were me, I wouldn't risk my life to change my future." Luo Zhuoying laughed and lamented that the fate of young people is so good.
"I heard that Song Ziwen has changed the nationality of his family to the United States!"
"Ah!" Luo Zhuoying was startled, and then said clearly: "He is telling the Chairman through actions that he will leave after beating the little devil!"
"What's even more frightening is that the Americans were very interested in the blueprints of a rifle he was researching. Song Ziwen told Chiang Kai-shek that the United States had set up a development and research institution and provided 10 million U.S. dollars as a reward to Brother Meng."
"My dear!" Luo Zhuoying was even more surprised. He suddenly remembered the secret conversation between Meng Da and Song Ziwen in Xiajia Village. Only then did he realize that they were discussing this matter.
"He is also very kind to you. It is very difficult for the Chairman to obtain weapons for an army from the Americans. You must be prepared. It is estimated that the weapons will be delivered soon."
"Ah!" Luo Zhuoying's eyes widened in surprise: "An American weapon from an army?"
"Hahahaha, when his son is born, your godfather is going to make a fortune!" Xue Yue couldn't help but laugh, knowing that Luo Zhuoying would be shocked.
"Good brother! I will never let you down. I will use your weapons to hit the Japanese hard!" Luo Zhuoying clenched her fists and shouted out her inner thoughts as if she was swearing.
"I'm surprised, why his troops don't use American weapons!" Xue Yue was also thinking deeply. Everyone knew that the US military had the best weapons, but Meng Da was reluctant to throw away German weapons.
"Yes, there is something weird here, and none of us can figure it out." Luo Zhuoying pinched his sore temples with his hands, and said with a wry smile: "Ignore him, when we encounter a big battle, we will use him to lead the charge.
.”
"Hahahaha, that's my wish!" Xue Yue laughed wildly. The friendship between this little brother and them was forged on the battlefield. With him here, the Ninth War Zone will not worry about winning the battle.
The Battle of Wanjialing was another major victory for the Kuomintang on the frontal battlefield in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War after the victory of the Battle of Taierzhuang. It played a very positive role in thwarting the Japanese army's attempt to break through the Nanxun Line, delaying the Japanese army's attack on Nanchang and defending the Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi border.
function.
The news of the great victory at Wanjialing lifted the spirits of the entire people. Although Wuhan was already in a state of crisis and government agencies were being evacuated, the people of Wuhan who had just spent a bitter "Double Tenth Day" were still excited.
, the sound of firecrackers is heard day and night to celebrate the victory in the Battle of Wanjialing.
After the fall of Qingdao, Shanghai and other places, Guangzhou became China's most important port. Chiang Kai-shek believed that the Japanese army had already devoted all its efforts to the battle of Wuhan, and it was impossible to spare troops to attack in other directions. However, the Japanese army quickly mobilized three
The divisions formed the 21st Army, commanded by General Kenro Furusou, and supported by the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy's 5th Fleet, Koichi Shiozawa, and launched a surprise attack on Guangzhou.
On the night of October 11, more than 70,000 Japanese troops and 27,000 horses successfully landed at Daya Bay in Guangzhou. They marched with great momentum and attacked Tamsui, Huizhou, Boluo and Zengcheng. On the 21st, they had already reached Guangzhou Jinxiao. Yu Hanmou's 12th Group Army only had 10 troops.
Tianjiu was beaten to a pulp by the Japanese army and was completely defeated. In desperation, Yu Hanmou ordered the Guangzhou defenders to retreat, and Guangzhou fell on the afternoon of the 21st.
Once Guangzhou was lost and the Guangdong-Hankou Railway was cut off, Wuhan would no longer be worth defending with heavy troops. Faced with this situation, Chiang Kai-shek learned the lesson from last year's Nanjing Defense War and decided to abandon Wuhan quickly instead of besieging the city alone. October 25
, the Japanese army occupied Hankou, the next day they occupied Wuchang, the Japanese army occupied Hanyang, and the Wuhan defense war ended.
"Commander, have we won or lost?" Liu Tai stayed in Wuyuan County, watching the battle and having doubts in his mind.
"Winning, but also losing!"
Meng Da looked at everyone's confused looks and calmly analyzed: "We have killed a large number of the Japs' active forces, which is the greatest victory. But without the Guangdong-Hankou Railway, the future will be more difficult. According to my judgment
, Next step, the little devils will try to attack Hunan. As long as the Myanmar sea channel is blocked, we will be trapped by the Japanese army!"
"Would Chiang Kai-shek abandon the last transportation line?"
"He has been cornered!" Meng Da sighed. Once the last passage is lost, he is afraid that the fate of the country will come.
"Report, the Japanese army is going to transport a batch of heavy weapons to Nanchang. According to intelligence, they will go south by train from Wuhan!"
"Is it a telegram from my mentor?" Meng Da did not panic after hearing this. The little devil wanted to defeat the troops in the Ninth Theater Zone as soon as possible. If he had predicted correctly, some of these weapons were tanks and armored vehicles.
"yes!"
"Tell Lu Shijie to form a thousand-man brigade, order Wang Yong, and the shotgun brigade is ready to go!"
