Chapter 271 The Commander of the Japanese Third Division at the End of the Battle of Songhu
According to the Japanese army's combat deployment, the Japanese Third Division went very smoothly. After capturing Wusong, Yang Hang, Liu Hang, Hazaobang and Dachang, it also paid a heavy price before crossing the Suzhou River.
.
Because on the other side of the Suzhou River, there were not only a large number of tenaciously resisting Nationalist troops, but also a large number of fortress positions and relatively new weapons and equipment deployed. In particular, those fortress positions were defensive fortresses made of reinforced concrete.
In addition to the gun holes, they were surrounded by thick cement walls. Even if the Japanese army used their 75mm field guns, they could not easily blow up these fortress positions.
Therefore, in the face of such reinforced defensive fortress positions and the intensive counterattacks of the national army, in order to capture these fortress lines, once the Japanese 3rd Division was in force, they could only use their mighty weapons.
The spirit and body of the bushido who charged forward without fear of death launched wave after wave of forcible river crossing attacks.
The Japanese troops were fighting to the death one after another with the spirit of Yamato in their actions. Finally, after paying a heavy price in casualties, this elite Japanese division successfully forcibly crossed the river.
After crossing the river, the temporary headquarters of the Japanese Third Division,
The expressions on the faces of the division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, and the chief of staff, Colonel Toshio Toshio, were also very poor.
Because their casualty data are almost the same as those of the Japanese 9th Division.
"I really never thought that these Chinese troops who were defeated by our imperial army could actually carry out such brave reinforcement and defense operations in the Suzhou River area, causing our imperial army to pay a heavy price in casualties!"
"Give me an order. All the Chinese soldiers captured alive will be shot. No one will be spared. I will use their blood to avenge the fallen imperial warriors! To sacrifice their souls in heaven!"
After reading the final casualty data of his own troops,
The division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, could not help himself. Like the division commander of the 9th Division, Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke, he looked up to the sky and sighed, heartbroken over the casualties of his troops, and said in a low mood.
At the same time, he became more and more fierce in his gaze, issuing orders to execute all prisoners of the national army.
"Hai!"
Major General Katayama Riichiro, commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade, immediately nodded in agreement.
Because he raised his hand in favor of killing all the prisoners of the national army, it was best for him to handle it personally, because this time in the battle to forcefully cross the Suzhou River, his troops suffered a lot of casualties.
He only remembered this hatred and vowed to take revenge.
So when the division commander Lieutenant General Fujita Susumu gave the order, he was the first to stand up and accept the order.
Major General Kanichiro Ueno, commander of the 29th Infantry Brigade, as well as the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 4th Cavalry Brigade, also looked at this old Japanese general in surprise, who was the first to deal with the prisoners of the national army.
"Well! Go ahead!"
"By the way, Mr. Tian Yuan! What's going on on the other side of the 10th Army?"
"According to Commander Matsui Iwane's notification, why did they suddenly divert the entire army to pursue a mere Chinese army?"
"And gave up on joining us to encircle the hundreds of thousands of elite main force of the China Army?"
"What on earth are they thinking? They abandon the important combat strategy and pursue a less important China army?"
"Is it so unwise just because the Kunisaki Detachment and the 18th Division were defeated several times?"
"This is completely nonsense, and it has disrupted all our combat arrangements. Now is the most important and most appropriate time for us to encircle and suppress the main elite of the China Army, and we must not miss it!"
"Otherwise, once the elite main force of the China Army escapes, our subsequent operations will take more time!"
"So I hope that the commander of the 10th Army, Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, and his chief of staff, Major General Moritake Tanabe, will be wiser and think carefully about the final victory of our empire!"
Major General Katayama Riichiro, the commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade, was the first to stand up and accept his order. The division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, was very calm, nodded, and agreed.
At the same time, he turned to Colonel Toshio, the chief of staff beside him, and asked.
Because he had already learned about the surprising actions of the Japanese 10th Army from Commander Matsui Iwane, he was very dissatisfied and wanted to know the answer.
"Concerning the irrational combat operations of the 10th Army, Commander Matsui Iwane has personally communicated with the commander of the 10th Army, Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, and the base camp also called him to question him!"
"So I think we should not interfere in these matters. This is a high-level negotiation!"
"The most important thing for us now is probably to replenish our troops, ammunition, and weapons and equipment as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise, our combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced in the next round of combat!"
"This is a fatal crisis!"
Chief of Staff Colonel Toshio Tian responded.
His eyesight is shrewd and rational.
"Well! You are right! Now is the time to restore the combat effectiveness of our Third Division as soon as possible, instead of paying attention to the irrational combat deployment of the 10th Army!"
"But what surprised me very much was that He Feiyang, an officer of the Sichuan Army, had annihilated some troops of our division at Dunwu Temple and Chen Jiaxing!"
"I haven't come back to take revenge on him yet! I didn't expect that he dared to offend the entire 10th Army now. He is really brave! It's a pity that he is an officer of the Chinese Army, otherwise I would like to take him back as a subordinate
of!"
"I like the most brave officers like him and people with combat capabilities!"
After Chief of Staff Toshio Toshio finished speaking, the division commander Lieutenant General Fujita Susumu unexpectedly unexpectedly praised He Fei for his arrogance.
"."
Chief of Staff, Colonel Toshio Tian.
"."
Major General Kanichiro Ueno, commander of the 29th Infantry Brigade.
"."
Other brigade leaders.
"Find an opportunity to recapture him as a puppet army for me!"
"Just treat them as puppet troops under our Third Division!"
"This He Feiyang must either become a member of our empire or must be eradicated. He must not be allowed to continue to develop and grow! Otherwise, I'm worried that he will become a China army that is difficult to deal with!"
"I don't want to see such a bad situation happen, so I either take him back or get rid of him, eradicate him! Never leave any future troubles!"
After looking at all the Japanese generals around him, they suddenly fell silent.
Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, the division commander, made his decision.
Then, he looked up and stared at the gray sky in the distance, as well as the battlefields where the gunpowder smoke had not completely dissipated, and the battlefields where corpses of Nationalist soldiers and soldiers were strewn everywhere, as well as the corpses of Japanese soldiers.
After a while, the rain started to fall in a heavy voice.
The surrounding temperature has also begun to become colder and is cooling rapidly.
