Okuichiro originally wanted to trick the Xuebingjun, but now it seems that the first thing he was tricked by was his subordinates. Of course, the group of bombers taking off from the Soryu aircraft carrier was so unbearable, it can be regarded as the fact that he was beaten by Kuramura Atsuhime. Rinse it,
The Japanese are messing around with each other, and the one who takes advantage is Xuebingjun.
The 9th Division, under the leadership of Okuichiro, used a hammer in the east and a stick in the west to fool the Fourth Army around. This gave the former Japanese officers and soldiers who were originally very afraid of the Army a long-lost self-confidence. , as for the newly recruited Japs, their direct "imperial army temperament" has been revealed, and they have begun to become arrogant.
Shumu Kazuo is one of the senior officers who has always maintained a clear head. He has always maintained a prudent attitude, which has won him the respect of Chief of Staff Jizuojun. Jizuojun now almost worships him. He even feels that , even if faced with such a dangerous environment, the captain would probably come up with feasible methods to help the troops out of danger. He asked respectfully: "Your Excellency, what should we do now."
Kazuo Humu was actually very angry at this time. This anger was directed at Okuichiro. Although he didn't know why Okuichiro did this, one thing was certain, that is, the 36th Regiment had been abandoned and was registering Among the Japanese soldiers who had extremely strict concepts, his anger could not be put on the surface. He could only suppress it deeply, which made him want to express his anger. The tone of his words was not very good. He almost shouted: "Immediately call Yamato Hei'o and ask what happened to their 19th Regiment and how they let the 12th Academy Division escape. Doesn't he know that our 19th Regiment's sniper academy 10th Division is here?" One division doesn’t have an advantage in terms of strength, right?”
Yamato Heira quickly sent a reply, in which he directly explained the situation in Wong Chuk Hang.
After seeing this telegram, Ji Zuojun said to Kazuo Kume: "Sir, it seems that our prediction is correct. The 19th Regiment is really the only one surrounding the 12th Division. What should we do?"
Kazuo Xiumu said calmly: "Prepare the jade pieces."
Ji Zuojun answered loudly: "Hai."
"Call Yoshino and allow them to move closer to the headquarters. We will launch a counterattack and be completely entangled with the Chinese. At that time, we will request the division's artillery to implement coverage. I don't know what the commander wants to do, but It must be a big deal, and that’s all we can do for him.”
"Hai."
Kazuo Shuki was ready to fight to the death. Under his control, the frontline Japanese troops first slowly retreated towards the headquarters, then regrouped near the headquarters, and then launched a counterattack.
The attack went surprisingly smoothly from the beginning. This made the officers and soldiers of the 11th and 12th Division inevitably feel proud. Everyone felt proud. The officers and soldiers of these two divisions had all participated in the battle to defend Nanjing. In that battle, it can be said that the little Japanese suffered a lot, and at the beginning of this battle, they were led by Okuichiro. It can be said that they were holding back their anger. Now, the 36th Regiment has been destroyed and destroyed. After the position was broken, all the officers and soldiers inevitably had the intention of underestimating the enemy.
The formation of the Japanese 19th Regiment was too scattered, and defensive positions were built based on squadron specifications. This arrangement was originally designed to cooperate with the aviation force in regional suppression, but now, without the support of the aviation force, it faces the enemy's advantage. In terms of military strength, Yamato Heira's arrangement is more like using a refueling tactic. After the two intercepting squadrons between the 11th and 12th School Divisions are annihilated, Yamato Heira wants to concentrate his superior forces to carry out the attack. Attacking, the 12th Xuexue Division had already jumped out of their preset encirclement, and successfully joined forces with the 11th Xuexue Division at both ends of Xiaohuangdan Village.
The war progressed smoothly, perhaps because it was so smooth, which aroused the suspicion of Jiang Guangnai, Rao Guohua and Liao Mingfeng. After Rao Guohua and Jiang Guangnai met, they put forward their own opinions: "Could this be a trap by the Japanese? Why are there thunder and lightning raindrops?"
I feel like, if they want to encircle and annihilate the 12th Division with just these two troops, it is simply a joke."
Jiang Guangnai also couldn't figure it out. He carefully recalled the scene before the battle started and said: "Could it be a Japanese plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain? They deliberately created a big battle here. In fact, the real goal is to learn from the ten
division."
"It's entirely possible. We'd better report it to the commander-in-chief quickly."
"Well, tell the Xueshi Division not to rush closer to us. The Japanese may very well have set up an ambush in front."
"We also need to get rid of the entanglement between the two Japanese armies and join the Tenth Division as soon as possible. If the Japanese army really has a trap ahead, then we will gather the strength of our three divisions to defeat him in one fell swoop."
"Okay, let's do it this way. Then, you leave one regiment behind, and the others will rush over immediately."
Just when Jiang Guangnai and Rao Guohua made the decision not to quarrel with the 19th and 36th Regiments, but to move closer to the 10th Academy Division, Shuki Kazuo had already issued a counterattack order, and about three and a half brigades had just been assembled.
The Japanese army launched a counterattack. In the southeast of Xiaohuangdan, the officers and soldiers of the 34th Xuexue Brigade who had not received Rao Guohua's order to retreat were immediately entangled by these Japs, and the two sides began to fight fiercely.
The brigade commander of the 34th Brigade was Meng Haoran. When Rao Guohua's order came to him, his troops were already completely entangled with the Japanese. If he ordered a retreat at this time, it would be the fate of defeat, so he only
He was able to report the situation truthfully and said: In order for the brother troops to evacuate the battlefield more safely, then it would be better for their brigade to stay and annihilate this Japanese army.
Rao Guohua had no choice but to agree to his request, and then led the 35th Xuexue Brigade and the 36th Xuexue Brigade as vanguards, heading in the direction of Aotou.
After Okuichiro Okuichiro received the telegram from Kyuuki Kazuo, he looked at his watch and found that it was not far away from the agreed time to attack the Tenth Gakushu Division. After thinking for a while, he agreed to his request. He formulated the
This "Cloud Hunting Plan" was destined to involve sacrifices, but I didn't expect the sacrifices to be so huge.
A regiment of imperial troops was used to bury Ouyang Yun. Ouyang Yun's life was really valuable. However, as long as Ouyang Yun could be killed, the sacrifice was still worth it. Okuichiro thought about this, and gave it to Ouyang Yun who was five kilometers away.
The 9th Artillery Regiment was dispatched, and the commander of the regiment, Colonel Kihei Miyoshi, was ordered by Kazuo Kumiki to be ready to carry out indiscriminate bombardment on Xiaohuang Dan at any time.
At first, Miyoshi Kihei thought it was the communication staff's mistake in sending the telegram by mistake, so he sent another telegram to confirm. After receiving the confirmation, he began to prepare for the bombardment with anxiety.
Indiscriminate bombardment will not be used casually unless it is absolutely necessary, because it will mean that both warring parties on the battlefield will become targets of attack.
There is still a regiment of imperial troops on Xiaohuangdan battlefield. The commander is really ruthless. Miyoshi Kihei speculated like this, and he couldn't help but feel deep fear of Okuichiro in his heart.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, the artillery bombardment began. At this time, most of the 11th Xuexi Division and the 12th Xuexi Division were nearly five miles away from Xiaohuangdan, and were in the straight line between the Japanese artillery array and the Xiaohuangdan battlefield. Suddenly there was a strange scream of sharp artillery shells tearing the air, and then hundreds of fireballs flew over their heads at a speed only visible to the naked eye. Hearing the sound of the artillery, many low-level officers instinctively ordered all Lying down, Jiang Guangnai, Rao Guohua and Liao Mingfeng all had drastic changes in their expressions. They were particularly experienced in the battlefield and immediately realized what the little devil had done.
Rao Guohua suddenly shouted to the communications staff officer like crazy: "Call Brigadier Meng immediately and tell them to withdraw quickly. Hurry, hurry, hurry. Damn it, you are dead."
The communications staff officer didn't react at all and was slapped aside by him. Then he nervously grabbed the microphone, tuned to the channel of the 34th Academy Brigade, and shouted: "Meng Haoran, listen to me. "Hold on, retreat immediately, retreat, if you hear me, retreat immediately." "Rumble..." before he finished shouting, a dazzling light suddenly flashed behind his car, and the next moment, a flower Another mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and then the sound of explosion reached everyone's ears.
Rao Guohua let go of the send button, and a rustling blind voice suddenly came from the headset. He yelled to stop the car, then opened the car door and rushed out. Looking at the scene behind him, he closed his eyes in pain and shouted for a long time: "It's true, I'm a brother from the brigade."
This round of bombardment by the Japanese army was particularly violent, lasting more than ten minutes. What the ten-minute bombardment by nearly a hundred cannons of various types means to the target area, Rao Guohua knew even if he thought about it with his buttocks,
"Fuck, that's crazy." Jiang Guangnai had also gotten out of the car. He looked at the Xiaohuangdan battlefield with thick smoke, blazing flames, and continuous explosions with a pale face. He suddenly felt very scared. If they hadn't decided just now, If we head towards Aotou but stay in place to clear out the 36th Regiment, then it’s not just the 34th Brigade that will be bombarded now, right?
The effect of this shelling was like shaking the earth, and this round of shelling was just the beginning, because the sound of the shelling stopped only five minutes before it started ringing again, and this time the target was two kilometers northwest of Aotou. The Tenth Master of Learning,
The 10th Xuexi Division has been marching in the direction of Wong Chuk Hang, and since they entered the Aotou area, they have been plotted by the Japanese army.
When Jiang Guangnai made the plan to divide his troops to lure the enemy, he ignored an important factor, that is, the artillery of the 9th Division. When Okuichiro led the troops to fight in a roundabout way, he did not carry heavy artillery. However, the 9th Artillery Regiment of the Department actually There are two brigades of heavy artillery troops. The heavy artillery of these two brigades was hidden in Jinzhukeng by Okuichiro. Okuichiro's original intention was to hide the troops to ensure the flexibility of the troops, and Now, the heavy artillery of these two brigades has become the sharpest chess piece in his hand.
This round of shelling by the Japanese army caused a lot of casualties to the 10th Xuexi Division. Unprepared, the 403rd and 408th regiments of the 10th Xuexue Division, which were located in the area covered by Japanese artillery fire, suffered heavy losses, and almost all the regiments were wiped out.
In just five minutes, the Tenth Academic Division lost two regiments. Faced with such a cruel reality, Ouyang Yun and Liu Yuqing realized that they had been fooled.
