Guanmei Village is located due north six kilometers away from Tanxi Township, and five kilometers northwest of Guanmei Village near Xiaomiao Village. Hengshan Yong, guarded by about a hundred officers and soldiers, was running wildly.
After the ammunition of the 8th Feixue Division was replenished, Zhang Tianquan immediately led the 22nd Xuexue Brigade to Guanmei Village. As soon as they took root in Guanmei, deserters from the 17th Division led by Yokoyama Isamu arrived.
Arriving near Guanmei, Hengshan Yong was not good at fighting, but he had a strong sense of danger. After capturing Fengxin County, he realized that the only way to stay here was to encircle and annihilate him from the north, so he led his men about
A large group of Japs broke through to the north. Hengshan Yong's decisiveness saved his life. At that time, Chu Tiange's guerrilla troops were too tired to organize a defense line. Therefore, even though they had a huge military advantage, they
But he still managed to break through. Of course, after being attacked one after another by the guerrillas, the more than a thousand people he brought out were almost exhausted, and now only these more than a hundred people are left.
Yokoyama Isamu's original plan was to replenish his supplies far away from Anyi and then continue to flee north. However, after going through all the hardships and escaping to the Tanxi area, he happened to encounter the Xuebing Army encircling and annihilating the 145th Regiment.
He took a look at the team from a distance and realized that even if he filled in the few troops he had, it would be in vain, so he did not want any spirit of friendship and bushido, and led his men directly to find Yukino Mao.
This lasted for three or four hours. When he was sure that the Anyi cadet army had withdrawn and detoured to Guanmei Village, he discovered a large number of cadet army chariots in the fields outside Guanmei Village. Hengshan Yong's battlefield judgment was still good.
Quite strong, he immediately realized that "these Chinese artillery trucks must be ambushing the 2nd Army", because the telegraph machine had been damaged during the battle, so he took the troops to bypass Guanmei Village at a distance, and then went to
He ran, hoping to find the reinforcements from the 2nd Army before the Eighth Learning Division opened fire, so as to help them avoid this trap. It has to be said that once the little devil's small universe explodes, even though he is born with bandy legs, his marching speed is fast enough. Of course,
, as the thunderous sound of cannons came from the direction of Guanmei Village, no matter how hard they tried before or how fast they ran, it was just useless.
They suffered the most under the artillery fire of the Xuebing Army, and even the sound of "duh dunk..." shells breaking through the air reached their ears. Many Japanese soldiers immediately instinctively fell down on the spot. It was still a step too late - Yokoyama Yuya stopped.
.However, he judged the flight direction of the cannonballs accurately, so he did not make any ugly behavior like his men. Watching those cannonballs flying towards the northwest, he stretched out his right hand and asked the 17th Brigade beside him.
Brigade leader Suzuki Harumatsu: "What direction is that?"
Suzuki Chunsong opened the map and looked at it, his face hard to read: "That should be Jiangshang Township and Baicha Town - these two towns are located on both sides of the Xiushui River."
When Yokoyama Yong heard this, his face became extremely ugly. After a while, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Ba Ge! He must have gone to the Xiushui River! Who was appointed by Nishio Juzo as the commander-in-chief? Didn't he receive us?
A telegram? Bage Yalu! Can’t the lessons our army has gained with blood make him more cautious?”
Suzuki Harumatsu lowered his head with a look of pain on his face.
"Ignore them, let's move on!" Yokoyama Isamu said, looking away, and then he saw his subordinates lying around him. Filled with anger, he stepped forward and kicked one of his subordinates, and cursed: "Ba Ge
!Can’t you hear the flight path of the artillery shell? It’s heading northwest! Ba Ge, your courage has been frightened by the Chinese?!”
The Japs were as silent as cicadas. They quickly got up one by one and stood there with their heads bowed.
Their decadent look caught the eye of Yokoyama Yong, who naturally provoked another scolding: "Ba Ge! What are you doing standing there stupidly? Keep moving forward!"
"Hai!"
When the tank brigade and the armored car brigade began to cross the river, Yoshio Shinozuka got off the car and stood on the riverside. Looking at the stretching snowy ridges on the other side, he sighed with emotion: "God is really kind to the Chinese people! What a beautiful scenery!" Chief of Staff
Hearing this, Colonel Tsubuzaki said: "Not only is it beautiful, but it is also a natural fortification! Your Excellency - what is the sound?"
"Protect Your Excellency, Commander!" behind him, the adjutant Hashiba Hirohito shouted. Then, when Yoshio Shinozuka gave the order to evacuate, he was forcefully blocked by several military policemen. Several military policemen were in a hurry.
As soon as he got up, he ran to the bottom of the river embankment. When the others saw this, they all fell down on the spot. Some officers began to loudly order their men to get down, while the Japanese chariots on the ice roared like crazy and braved the thick smoke.
Thick black smoke drove crazily towards the other side.
It only took a few seconds from hearing the sound of shells breaking through the air to the sound of explosions filling my ears. Fireballs rose up one after another. The next moment, amid the rumbling explosions, the scene that worried the Japanese the most appeared. The ice surface
Unable to withstand such a powerful bombardment, first there was a loud crunching sound, and then large tracts of ice cracked and collapsed around the explosion point.
"Wow!" A tank suddenly rolled into the broken ice, a column of water about ten feet high rose up, and then the machine gunner screamed.
"Haruji Taniguchi! Find the enemy's position and organize a counterattack immediately!" Taka Takabuchi shouted towards the artillerymen behind him.
"Hai!" Haruji Taniguchi shouted loudly from a distance. While ordering his men to immediately prepare for the bombardment, he and several staff members began to observe the ballistics.
Judging from the observations of Haruji Taniguchi and others, the artillery bombardment of the 22nd Brigade was unscrupulous. The 150-mm caliber artillery shells fell in pieces, with no intention of stopping. After five minutes of shelling, this area
The ice surface and even the wider Xiushui River surface were completely blown away. Seeing that the densely covered ice surface where the chariots were just now was only left with monstrous artillery fire and groups of huge waves, Taniguchi Haruji's face was filled with tears.
His muscles twitched, he forced himself to remain calm, and changed his order: "Stop it, everyone, the Chinese artillery position is beyond our range!"
The explosion was so violent that many Japanese artillerymen received new orders after being conveyed by their commanders. They stopped what they were doing one after another, and then stared blankly at the river where the artillery fire was raging, and they were dumbfounded for a moment.
Shinozuka Yoshio had resumed command of the troops at this time. After he, Tsubuzaki and the commander of the 108th Division, Genjiro Taniguchi, and the chief of staff, Kanju Yazaki, met, they looked at each other.
He glanced at it, and then looked blankly at the southeast direction where the shells were flying, with no temper at all.
Even Haruji Taniguchi could see that the enemy's artillery positions were beyond the range of his artillery. It was naturally impossible for them not to see it. That's why they showed such powerlessness.
