Around 11 o'clock in the evening, Yu Jishi's 74th Army took the lead in arriving at the Fengxin area. It was Xue Yue's idea to let Yu Jishi's 74th Army serve as the vanguard, and facts proved that his suggestion saved a lot of trouble.
When the war zone was evacuated from Gao'an, Yu Ji sent someone to report the matter to Chu Tiange's guerrilla troops. Only then did Xu Zhi prepare and sniper the 33rd Division directly at Lion Gate.
Now, the major named Guo Huizhang is still with Xu Zhi. Ouyang Yuncheng accepted his affection, so he naturally asked Liu Zheliang and others to be polite to the 74th Army. So, he originally thought of humiliating the Central Army.
The officers of the cadet army seemed to be "changing defenses" with the 74th Army, which had completely annihilated the Japanese 17th Division in Madang. As the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes, they all restrained themselves a lot, but they did not make any jokes.
When the Xuebing Army and the Ninth War Zone began to switch defenses, the fierce fighting in Yongxiu County had already begun. Yokoyama Yong had the experience of fighting the 18th Xuexi Division at Lions Gate and could only parry but not fight back. From then on, he thought that the Jews were incompetent.
It was easier to shoot. However, less than an hour after the two sides started fighting, the 10th Division handed over two brigades, and even the artillery was taken away. Only then did he realize that
It turns out that Tairen’s bone is not easy to chew! In terms of fighting will, the Jews are indeed inferior to the Japanese army, but Yokoyama Isamu does not know that the key to the reason why he gained an overwhelming advantage at Lion Gate and was able to launch a steady stream of attacks is
Due to the influence of the terrain, the chariot troops of the 18th Division failed to play their role. As a result, Menkweili could only continuously fill in the infantry for defense.
This gave the Japanese the opportunity to give full play to their jade-shattering tactics. Yongxiu is surrounded by water on both sides, and due to the severe cold, both the Gan River and the Xiushui River froze into a flat river. This kind of terrain is really conducive to tanks.
The troops performed well, so after only an hour of fighting, Arthur twice adopted the strategy of retreating first and then counterattacking, first letting the infantry lure the enemy deeper, and then launching battles.
The vehicle troops launched a counterattack. In this way, not only were they able to recapture the positions previously lost by the infantry, but they also induced the Japanese army to take the lead in using artillery. After two hours of fierce fighting, Qian Guangming's Xuejiusi Division broke into the Japanese right wing from Lixinxiang, and at the same time
, Chu Tiange's mixed troops of the First and Second Guerrilla Divisions went straight to Jiangshang Township via Sheshan Road in Baofeng Town. At this time, they were less than ten kilometers away from Jiangshang Township.
When the Ninth Learning Division appeared on the battlefield, Yokoyama Isamu knew that this battle was over. Not to mention that the troops directly under the 11th Army Headquarters led by Yamamuro Munetake had been sniped by the Third Guerrilla Division in the direction of Panyang County. They were the ones who
If you can appear in the southeast of Yongxiu County in time to join the flanking attack, without powerful anti-tank weapons, the result will be nothing more than delaying it for a while.
Shinozuka Yoshio and Taniguchi Motojiro agreed to Yokoyama Isamu's suggestion to take Yongxiu and then attack Nanchang. This already revealed their determination to rescue Okamura Ningji, which was not very strong. Therefore, once they discovered the heavy equipment of the Xuebing Army,
Troops appeared on the battlefield of Yongxiu (the Japanese learned
The Ninth Division (the general name for the relatively highly armored troops), thought that it had achieved the role of helping Okamura Neji attract the firepower of the main force of the cadet army, so after discussing with Yokoyama Isamu, he gave Okamura Neji
After issuing a battlefield situation report, they began to retreat along the original route.
Ouyang Yun gave up the encirclement and annihilation of the remnants of Okamura Neiji and gave up the easy-to-reach victory to the Ninth Theater. Naturally, it was impossible to let go of the 10th Division and the 108th Division that had already arrived. Under his order,
The Ninth Learning Division and the Seventeenth Learning Division immediately launched a counterattack. At the same time, the Learning Ninth Brigade of the Third Learning Division, under the command of Bai Liusu, walked along Tanxi and headed due north to cover up the enemy.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the 10th Division and the 108th Division, leaving four brigades to snipe and pursue the student army, retreated in panic to the area of Tong'an and Duanyangzui. Tong'an and Duanyangzui are located in Jiangshang Township and Yongxiu.
In the inter-prefecture area, at this time, Yokoyama Isamu suggested that he could not retreat by the original route, and suggested to go directly north, and then cross Shushui to Zhajin Town. Shinozuka Yoshio and Taniguchi Motojiro were hesitating when a telegram from Nishio Juzo arrived.
They were asked to carry them directly on their backs and not go to Jiangshang Township. It turned out that the reconnaissance plane of Tokugawa Yoshitoshi's First Aviation Regiment had detected the movements of Chu Tiange's troops and concluded that their destination was Jiangshang Township. Chapter 1
The 10th Division and the 108th Division could only move towards Zhajin Town, but they underestimated the advancement of the Xuebing Army's chariot units. At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the leading force of the 9th Xuexi Division, Yang Jianfeng's "mandrill"
"The tank regiment carrying two companies of infantry broke through the blockade of the Japanese sniper troops and miraculously appeared on the stone hillock three kilometers away from Zhajin Town. Then, the artillery regiments of the 9th and 17th Divisions attacked Yang Jianfeng
Under the command of the 108th Division, they carried out precise shelling on the Xiushui River in the Zhajin Town section. At the right time, the 52nd Regiment of the 108th Division was crossing the river. Well, two brigades of Japanese soldiers were bombed and drowned.
, only about a hundred people escaped in the end.
Now that enemy artillery fire from the rear has been able to cover this place, and there are enemy troops around who can provide shooting elements, the remaining Japanese troops of the 108th Division and the 10th Division who have not yet crossed the river do not dare to continue crossing the river. Xiao
Tsuka Yoshio was decisive. He left a large group of soldiers to snipe the pursuit of Yang Jianfeng's regiment, and fled westward with the other troops.
Yoshio Shinozuka planned to cut off his wrists and then cross the river at another section of Xiushui. Yang Jianfeng's calculations about the little devils were clear at a glance. He relied on the "Mandrill" tank with "thick skin and long legs", which was no match for the devils in that brigade.
After being entangled, they went directly around the mountains to the south and followed the Japanese army relentlessly.
When Isamu Yokoyama saw this, he reminded Yoshio Shinozuka: "Mr. Shinozuka, we must deal with this Chinese tank force. Otherwise, when the main Chinese force comes up, we will have no chance to escape."
Yoshio Shinozuka naturally hated Yang Jianfeng's sugar-candy tactics. He turned to look north and saw Motojiro Taniguchi leading the 108th Division's troops crossing the river on the north bank and accompanying the troops on the south bank to the west. He gritted his teeth.
After making a decision, he sent an order to the commander of the tank regiment, Colonel Onomoto, asking him to destroy the pursuing China tank troops at all costs, even if the entire army was exhausted.
The 10th Division and the 108th Division are just such a tank unit. Yoshio Shinozuka values this unit very highly and has never been willing to use it. But now in order to solve the problem of Yang Jianfeng, he is really risking his life.
.
Onomoto accepted the order without any hesitation, and immediately led all the tanks of the regiment to surround Yang Jianfeng's regiment.
In this regard, Yang Jianfeng was not afraid of rejoicing: "Ha, you are finally willing to take out the troops at the bottom of the box? Okay, brothers, let them taste the power of our 'mandrills' today!"
