Chapter 1060 Blood stained Han water
During the Battle of Zaoyi, the international situation changed drastically, and the German army's offensive was unstoppable. In three days, the Netherlands surrendered, and Belgium was dying. Seeing that the German army was about to kill France next, the Japanese army was so excited that they screamed and wanted to fight.
The great victory made the Japanese army proud internationally. (《》7*
Due to this reason, Emperor Hirohito of Japan asked about the progress of the Zaoyi battle almost every day. The commanders of the 11th Army, Tomabu and Ichiro, suddenly became the most concerned generals of the base camp, and their ambitions were extremely expanded. They were all determined to be on Zao.
Yihui Battle to create miracles on the battlefield.
What made Somama and Ichiro discouraged was that the Third Division, which was located in Xiangyang, east of Fancheng, was suddenly surrounded by the Central Team.
According to the Third Division report, on the 12th, the 31st Army, the elite troops of the Chinese ** team, suddenly appeared in Fancheng area, and six divisions of two armies pressed towards the Third Division. In this way, the situation on the entire battlefield became clear
, Six divisions of the 31st Army were in the north, six divisions of the 2nd Army were in the west, five divisions of the 33rd Army were in the south, two armies of the 11th Army and the 22nd Army followed the Japanese army,
The Japanese were surrounded by the Chinese team.
After clarifying the situation on the battlefield, Somabe and Ichiro were not afraid of being happy because he was very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Third Division, the Thirteenth Division and the Sixteenth Division, and felt that the opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Fifth War Zone was here.
The opportunity for the Hombe and Ichiro to become famous all over the world has come.
The Somama and Ichiro immediately reported to the China Expeditionary Army General Command and the base camp, saying that they had captured the main force of the Fifth War Zone of the China ** team, but the troops were insufficient. The base camp asked to quickly transfer the Fifth Division, the First Guard Division,
The Second Division's shipping service has already participated in the battle on the battlefield.
After sending the telegram, Yuanbu and Ichiro still ordered the 16th Division to move south along the east coast of the Han River to find the main force of the 33rd Army, and ordered the 3rd Division near Fancheng to retreat to Zao.
Yang, blocking the siege of the Central ** team on the North Road, covers the battle between the 13th Division and the 16th Division.
After receiving a telegram from the Japanese Chinese Expeditionary Army Headquarters and Headquarters, they did not ignore it, but quickly studied it. In the end, they actually pulled out the Fourth Division from the Kwantung Army and strengthened the 11th Army.
There is no way, the Fifth Division and the Guard Division cannot be withdrawn from the battlefield in southern Guizhou. The Second Division is the top elite of the Kwantung Army. It can be called temporarily and must be classified as the 11th Army. The Kwantung Army Commander Mijiro Umezu
He disagreed and asked the base camp to transfer the 11th, 12th, 28th and 29th divisions in North China back to the Northeast to carry out preparations for war against the Soviet Union.
Umezu Mijiro was as cunning as a fox. He was pursuing advance as a retreat. Even though he knew that the four divisions in North China could not be transferred back for a while, he still proposed the goal to preserve the most elite second division.
(《》7* As a result, the Second Division was retained, but the Fourth Division was transferred. Meijiro Umezu secretly called Amaterasu to bless him, and finally gave the first cowardly deprived division of the Japanese Army to the first Japanese army.
It was kicked to the 11th Army. Umezu Mijiro would rather expand a new division based on the border garrison, and would not want this fourth division anymore.
Toume and Ichiro wanted the three most elite mechanized divisions, but they came to the Fourth Division. That's all, they picked up the basket and Ichiro had already thought about it, the fourth division was
Although the division is known as the first cowardly abandoned division of the Japanese Army and is slow to fight, it is a well-equipped, well-trained first-class division after all. It does not take the initiative to defend the headquarters on the offense and let them replace the division.
The defense ground of the Sixth Division is freed up the elite 6th Division to join the Zaoyi Battlefield. Hehe, the main force in the Fifth War Zone is waiting to be eliminated!
On the 15th, another good news shocked Somabe and Ichiro to jump up. The Japanese radio detection unit actually deciphered the radio code of Zhang Zizhong, commander-in-chief of the 33rd Army. Now, the 33rd Army
All combat deployments were exposed to the Japanese army.
The surprise was inexplicably the Hombu and Ichiro immediately ordered the 13th Division to send powerful troops to besiege Zhang Zizhong, commander-in-chief of the 33rd Army, and ordered the aviation troops to be dispatched to bomb the location of Zhang Zizhong's headquarters.
Lieutenant General Zhang Zhi, commander-in-chief of the 33rd Army, is from Tangyuan Village, Linqing, Shandong Province. He was 49 years old.
Since the Lugou Bridge Incident, Zhang Zizhong was mistaken for being the mayor of Tianjin by the Chinese people for being a traitor, and there was a lot of scolding in the newspaper. After escaping from Pingjin, Zhang Zizhong had the will to die and was determined to use the blood of the Japanese invaders to clean up his depravity.
Injustice.
After returning to the army from Pingjin to the south, Zhang Zizhong led his troops to fight in Linyi, participated in the Battle of Wuhan, and was promoted to commander-in-chief of the 33rd Army. He was stationed in Jingmen and participated in the Suizao Battle. He was in the winter offensive and was awarded the Baoding Medal and promoted to general for his merits.
At this time, the 33rd Army Group was under the jurisdiction of the 29th Division, the 74th Division of the 55th Army of Cao Fulin, the 37th Division of the 77th Army of Feng Zhi'an, the 132nd Division, the 179th Division, and the 50th Division of Huang Weigang.
The 38th Division of the Ninth Army, the 180th Division, and the 9th Cavalry Division, a total of seven infantry divisions and one cavalry division.
When the Japanese army launched the Zaoyi Battle, the five main divisions of the 33rd Army were arranged on the east coast of the Han River, and there were only two regiments of the 74th Division left on the west coast of the Han River.
After the Japanese army launched an attack on May 1, the main force left on the east coast of the Han River lacked unified command. Especially for the 179th Division, during the war, the division commander He Jifeng studied in the Chongqing Central Training Corps. Li Zongren personally sent a newspaper to Chiang Kai-shek and urged him to return to the team.
When Chiang Kai-shek joined the war, he would not let anyone go. Without the command of the division commander, the combat effectiveness of the 179th Division may be greatly reduced.
There is a reason in this. He Jifeng, the commander of the 179th Division, believed that Chiang Kai-shek was passive in resistance and could not stand the style of the bureaucrats in the rear. He complained to the officials sent by Chiang Kai-shek to inspect the troops, saying that the gunshots were fired on the front line and the grindings in the rear were fired on the back.
The officers and soldiers were having their teeth sounded, holding guns in front, holding people in the back, shooting guns in front, playing cards in the back, eating tightly in front, eating tightly in the back.
This annoyed Chiang Kai-shek and secretly ordered Zhang Zizhong to dismiss He Jifeng from his post and sent him to Chongqing for legal action. He Jifeng was Zhang Zizhong's old subordinate, brave in fighting and upright in fighting. Zhang Zizhong was unwilling to lose his powerful arms and help, so he personally reported to Chiang Kai-shek that He Jifeng was loyal, brave and reliable, and could be sent to the Central Training Group for study
, asked the Chairman to inspect for a while. As a result, he couldn't come back when he went to study. Zhang Zizhong and Li Zongren were anxious.
He Jifeng could not come back. The 179th Division lost contact with the headquarters of the Army when the 13th Division of the Japanese Army was advancing rapidly. The main force on the east coast of the Han River lacked unified command. The 33rd Army was responsible for the important task of blocking the Japanese army on the southern front.
On the mission, Zhang Zizhong decided to cross the Han River and personally command the troops to fight.
On May 7, Zhang Zizhong left a letter to Feng Zhian, deputy commander-in-chief of the 33rd Army and commander of the 77th Army who was still on the west bank of the Han River, asking Feng Zhian to stay on the west bank to command, and he personally went to the east bank.
If you can contact the 179th Division and the 38th Division, you will lead these two divisions and the 74th Division to attack north and cut off the Japanese army's retreat. If you can't contact, you will lead the 74th Division and the group army's special agent battalion to attack north and fight to the death.
Fight one.
This letter was actually a farewell letter. Zhang Zizhong entrusts Feng Zhian with funeral, leading the preparation 74th Division and the military special agent camp to cross the Han River to the east, preparing to intercept the Japanese logistics and baggage troops, cut off the Japanese supply line, and support the main force of the war zone.
Fight against Xiangyang and Zaoyang.
At this time, after the 13th Japanese Army broke through the 33rd Army's defense line, it rushed to the Zaoyang area. The main force of the East Coast of the 33rd Army had jumped to the periphery according to the war zone plan, and Zhang Zizhong led the 74th Division and
After crossing the river by the military secret service camp, it was unable to contact the 38th Division and the 179th Division. Zhang Zizhong led the 74th Division and began to attack the logistics and supplies troops of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army. This attack hit the 13th Division.
The division's waist was immediately discovered by the Japanese army.
Before Zhang Zizhong crossed the river, he implemented Chiang Kai-shek's combat plan to eliminate all three Japanese divisions. He wanted to gather the main forces of the 33rd Army on the east coast of the Han River, completely block the Japanese army's rear route, and cooperate with the main forces of the war zone to fully
Annihilated the Japanese army participating in the Battle of Zaoyi.
Zhang Zizhong is a backbone general of the old Northwest Army. From the Great Wall War to the present, he has a very good understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. He knows in his heart how unreliable Chairman Jiang and the combat plan of the war zone are. With the main force of the 33rd Army, more than 20,000 yuan.
Even if all the people are killed, they cannot stop the Japanese army. The correct strategy should be to avoid the main force of the Japanese army, or to lead the main force of the Japanese army south, creating a fighter jet for the main force of the war zone to eliminate part of the Japanese army. However, Chairman Chiang and the war zone's orders
It must be implemented, there is no possibility of negotiation! This is also one of the main reasons why Zhang Zizhong left farewell and vowed to go to the death.
When Zhang Zizhong led his troops to fight fiercely with the Japanese army and the Military Commission ordered the revision of the combat plan and concentrated its efforts to encircle and annihilate the 3rd Division of the Japanese army, Zhang Zizhong and the main force of the 33rd Army had already fallen into a fierce battle with the Japanese army. The 74th Division and
The special agent battalion was surrounded in Gouyanli Village north of the pumpkin shop. After fighting fiercely for a day, even the special agent battalion was involved in the battle, with extremely heavy casualties, and Zhang Zizhong's right leg was also injured.
The Japanese army already knew that they were surrounded by the Chinese tiger, Zhang Zizhong, the commander-in-chief of the 33rd Army of China and the former commander of the 29th Army, attacked desperately and launched nine large-scale attacks in one day and night.
In the afternoon, Zhang Zizhong's troops were forced to retreat to Xingzi Mountain.
The Japanese army pursued them reluctantly.
A team of Japanese devils actually touched Zhang Zizhong's command position!
At this time, the 74th Division and the Special Battalion were fighting fiercely with the Japanese army, and there were only a dozen guards around Zhang Zizhong.
Zhang Zizhong was not afraid of danger, took the official rifle from the guards, ordered the guards to fight and resolutely repel the Japanese.
The official rifle was much more advanced than the old sleeves used by the old Northwest Army. Zhang Zizhong aimed and shot him with one shot, and shot him into the ground.
Now, the Japanese discovered the target, the machine gun and grenade launcher were all fired, and the soil and weeds in front of Zhang Zizhong were rumbling.
Zhang Zizhong's guard was equipped with medium-term and submachine guns, and the firepower was excellent at the distance and near. After two hours of fighting, the Japanese were unable to attack.
The fierce battle was until dawn on the 16th, and Zhang Zizhong led his troops to retreat to Changshan in the Pumpkin Shop. This place was actually a large mound of soil, surrounded by mountains on all sides and rivers on both sides. The Japanese army surrounded them on all sides, and there was no possibility of any mobility.
The Japanese army was attacking the whole morning. The troops had no time to build a solid position and could not contact the reinforcements. General Zhang Zizhong, the Chinese tiger in the eyes of the Japanese army, was completely trapped in death.
From dawn to noon, Japanese cannons bombarded, infantry charges, and artillery shells exploded all the flowers and plants in Changshan. Zhang Zizhong, who was injured in his right leg and shot in his left arm, felt pain and hungry, and commanded the troops to fight.
Blood stained every inch of the soil in Changshan red!
At 2 noon, there were only a few hundred people left in the 74th Division and the Special Battalion, and there were eight people left by Zhang Zizhong, including senior staff officer Zhang Jing and adjutant Ma Xiaotang.
The sky was gloomy and the wind blew through the mountains, causing low, whimpering echoes, as if thousands of troops were fighting fiercely here.
The Japanese army rushed up, and the machine guns and grenade launchers were hit by the mountain. Zhang Jing and other brothers all entered the battle, trying to defend the commander-in-chief to the death.
Zhang Zizhong sat on the ground and looked at the Japanese army swarming at the foot of the mountain. He finally understood that the Japanese army discovered his identity and pursued him relentlessly and fought desperately.
At this time, the scene of the mother-in-law's tattoo in "Talking about Yue Quan Biography" suddenly appeared in Zhang Zizhong's mind. The four big words "Self-loyalty to serve the country" were actually bleeding at this moment, shaking straight in front of him.
Be loyal to the country, be loyal to the country!
Zhang Zizhong shook his head, cleared his mind, and whispered to Zhang Jing, Ma Xiaotang and the guards: "The last time is here. Brothers, kneel down, kowtow to the land under our feet, and say goodbye to our country.
Now, we go to the underworld and the Japanese's wandering ghosts!"
After saying that, Zhang Zizhong climbed on the ground and touched the ground, kowtowing hard.
After kowtowing, Zhang Zizhong turned around and shouted: "I, Zhang Zizhong, are not a coward, and my brothers are also heroes! Kill! Kill one is enough, kill two and earn one!"
The eight people, all staff officers, adjutants and guards, suddenly burst out with extremely strong combat power. The bullets rushed towards the Japanese who rushed up, and actually opened one in the attack formation of the Japanese who were surrounding them.
Small gap.
Zhang Jing turned his head and shouted, "Commander-in-Chief, I will cover you and let your brothers protect you and rush out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a grenade exploded in front of Zhang Jing.
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese implemented machine gun and grenade firepower covering Zhang Zizhong and others' locations.
The Japanese army rushed to the front, and Zhang Zizhong suddenly stood up from the pool of blood. His majestic gaze scared the Japanese army to stop immediately.
The Japanese squadron leader Dono, who was behind, saw that the soldiers were actually frightened by this tall rank official, raised his hand and shot him straight on Zhang Zizhong's forehead.
Zhang Zizhong stood still and glared at Dono. Donono's hand shivered and his pistol fell to the ground. At this moment, the Japanese first-class soldier Fujioka, who was rushing to the front, woke up from his dream, picked up the bayonet and stabbed it hard.
Zhang Zizhong's chest!
A generation of loyal and brave generals fell to the ground with a bang!
