The commander of the 19th Division of the Japanese Army, Yoshio Shangzuki, said that he would be able to see the moon in North Korea tomorrow night, but that was purely an idiot’s dream. Although crossing the Yalu River was Sinuiju, North Korea, the problem was that he had to be able to cross it!
Last month, when Liangfu was laughing at the Fourth Division, Captain An, the fastest-running search team of the Fourth Division, had already rushed to Anton City this spring.
Colonel An is quite capable this spring. He was able to keep his war horse intact despite our bomber group bombing for such a long time. However, not all of his 319-man search wing were as lucky as him. In addition to death,
Yes, most of the living people became infantry, running behind his horses.
Seeing that Anton City was right in front of him, Colonel An became excited this spring. It seemed that there were hot meals and soup waiting for him in Anton City. He had not had a bite of hot food for several days. There was nothing he could do, the troops
I dare not live and cook. If I live, the smoke will attract Chinese and American bombers. Not only will I not be able to eat hot meals, but a dropped aerial bomb will be fatal.
At this moment, a bullet flew over silently and penetrated into the forehead of Colonel Jin Chun'an. Jin Chun'an raised his body back, and fell to the ground with a clang when he stood up. The frightened war horse screamed.
He screamed, dragging Jin Chun'an's body hanging in the stirrups and running wildly.
The boys of the 4th Search Regiment did not react at the first moment and did not know to lie down. By the time they remembered to lie down, it was too late.
Li Shuniu, the leader of the No. 1 Sniper Squadron, is one of the earliest snipers in our army besides Wang Tongsheng. Since the establishment of the sniper brigade, he has been the leader of the No. 1 Sniper Squadron. At this moment, Li Shuniu is climbing on a three-story building on the west side of Andong City.
On top, the sniper rifle in his hand was firing continuously, harvesting the lives of the little Japs of the Fourth Search Wing.
Not only Li Shuniu, but also 150 snipers from the 1st Sniper Squadron are scattered around Anton City, choosing their own positions and sniping targets freely.
Bullets flew out from the muzzles of the sniper rifles one after another. They silently penetrated into the little devil's head and chest. This scene looked more and more weird in the night! The little devil was superstitious and followed the search team closely.
The little Japanese behind the team who were rushing towards Anton City were stunned. Some soldiers knelt down on the ground, took out the life-saving charms they wore around their necks, and muttered to themselves, chanting Buddha's name!
Colonel Haru Morita, captain of the 8th Infantry Regiment, had a bandage hanging on his arm. When he caught up and took a look, he felt so cold that he immediately ordered the troops to retreat 500 meters back to avoid the range of machine gun fire, and then sent the signal corps to find the division.
Lieutenant General Kitano Tsuzuo, the leader of the regiment, reported: Anton City has been captured!
Colonel Haru Morita was shot in the arm and injured, but his mind was still confused. He also knew that the defeated soldiers of the 4th Search Regiment were not lured away by ghosts. They were killed by bullets from soldiers of the Northeast Field Army.
After receiving the report, Lieutenant General Kitano Wanzo was stunned. He did not receive a report that the enemy was discovered in Anton City? How come Anton City has already been lost? If Anton City is lost, the Fourth Division and the 19th Division
Regiment, the 20th Division is exposed in Anton City. There is only a dead end!
Colonel Haru Morita is shrewd, and Kitano Zenzo is even shrewder than him. He can see far and immediately realize that they have only a dead end.
Discovering that the passage to North Korea had been cut off, Kitano Zenzo immediately ordered the troops to occupy positions and prepare for battle. Then he ordered to turn on the radio and contact the North Korean Army Headquarters, the 19th Division, and the 20th Division to ask for two
A division commander came over for an urgent discussion.
According to the practice of the Japanese army, after the Fourth Division, the 19th Division, and the 20th Division merge, if there is no war, the three divisions will not be subordinate to each other, and they will execute their own orders. If there is a war, who will be responsible?
Those who are promoted to positions at the same level first, such as the same lieutenant general. The one who is promoted to lieutenant general first will automatically assume the command. If they are promoted at the same time, the commander will be determined according to the unit serial number. For example, the Fourth Division and the Nineteenth Division
, the 20th Division met together, the commander of the 4th Division
Of course, he was the enemy commander in front of the battlefield. Needless to say, Lieutenant General Nagatsu Sahige, the commander of the 20th Division, was promoted to lieutenant general late, and it was not his turn to command the troops. Kitano Zenzo, the commander of the 4th Division, and the 4th Division Commander
The commander of the 19th Division last month, Liangfu, is both 1
He was promoted to lieutenant general in October 1939, and Kitano Zenzo was the chief of staff of the Korean Army before he became the division commander. Last month, before Yoshio became the division commander, he was the director of the Army Provincial Maintenance Bureau. The two are equally matched and indistinguishable.
It's hard to say who can direct who.
However, this is not a time to grab credit, it is a time to fight tooth and nail. Therefore, after Utsuki Yoshio and Nagatsu Sahige arrived, a strange scene happened. Utsuki Yoshio asked Kitano Zenzo to command the battle, and Kitano Zenzo
When Yoshio Uetsuki was asked to take command of the battle, the two men actually pushed each other out of the way. Nagatsu Sahiki looked on with contempt, knowing that these two guys were afraid of destroying all their remaining troops.
In the end, an urgent message from the Japanese Army's Korean Army Headquarters solved the problem, ordering the three divisions to be under the command of Lieutenant General Kitano Kanzo, commander of the Fourth Division, to recapture the Yalu River Bridge and quickly evacuate to North Korea to prevent Liu Yimin from entering North Korea.
.
This solved the command problem. Kitano Wanzo immediately ordered the 20th Division to block the enemies pursuing in the west and north, ordered the 4th Division to block the enemies pursuing in the south, and ordered the 19th Division to attack the Yalu River road bridge and railway bridge.
.
At this moment, Yoshio Utsuki felt like he wanted to pull out his command sword and chop Kitano Zenzo into pieces, so he endured it for a while before he did it. However, she later stopped doing it because Kitano Zenzo explained to him very clearly that the first
The officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division are actually a group of small traders from Osaka. They can defend their positions well, but let them attack the Yalu River railway bridge and highway bridge.
If you say that, you may not be able to reach the attack site until dawn. This point has been heard by Liangfu in the past. During the Battle of Nomenhan, the Kwantung Army Headquarters ordered the Fourth Division to reinforce. These guys were dawdling until
Even after the battle, he didn't rush to the battlefield. Thinking of this, Yue Yueliangfu was no longer angry and hurriedly rushed to organize the troops and carry out the attack.
At this time, the Eighth Column and Eleventh Column troops chasing the Japanese Fourth Division arrived. This time, due to the elimination of the main force of the Kwantung Army and the Japanese reinforcement fleet, Zhao Shan no longer worried about the Japanese navy's sneak attack on the Liaodong Peninsula. The Eighth Column was concentrated
The main force, the main force of the 11th Column and the main force of Yang Jingyu's department, all gathered around.
The Eighth Column is the main column of the Northeast Field Army. Originally, the main force of the Eighth Column had been in a concealed standby state according to Liu Yimin's instructions, ready to support the coastal defense battle. Now it is no longer afraid of a sneak attack by the Japanese navy. The main force of the Eighth Column of the new force has appeared, closely following the Fourth Division.
The group is chasing after them
Now we have finally caught up, and we have caught a big fish. The defeated soldiers of the three divisions of the Japanese army have all fallen in Andong City. Zhao Shan, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Command and the commander of the Eighth Column, shouted excitedly into the phone:
"Pounce on, intersperse, detour, divide, and disrupt the little devil's organization!"
Zhao Shan was like this. Xu Shiyou, the commander of the 11th Column, was even more outrageous. He drew out his machete and actually went into battle himself to fight.
An infantry attack alone would cause too many casualties. Zhao Shan ordered the Eighth Column Artillery Regiment and the Eleventh Column Artillery Regiment that had caught up to build positions, unified command, and concentrate firepower to disperse the Japs!
But not only the Eighth Column, but also the Eleventh Column was catching up. The 12th Column, which was chasing the 19th Division and the 20th Division's eastward advance, also rushed forward. Wang Nanhu's order was very explicit. It was about whether I could
Becoming commander of the corps, political commissar, or chief of staff depends on this battle!
Since the Twelfth Column marched into the Northeast, it has been engaged in blocking and containment tasks, but suffered heavy casualties and failed to achieve success. The cadres and soldiers were all holding back their anger. With Wang Nanhu's instigation, all the troops were howling, and the little devil was really unlucky!
For the 12th Column alone, there is no bomber group. The remnants of the 20th Division are not afraid of blocking the attack. At least they can sustain it for a long time. The problem is that two big tigers are coming behind the 12th Column. Our army's elite five
Vertical, six vertical.
After the fifth and sixth columns destroyed the Japanese 1st Division and the 1st Guards Division, they turned south and used roads and railways to transport troops, reinforce the 12th Column, and pursue and annihilate the Japanese 19th and 20th Divisions.
group.
The Fifth Column was developed and expanded in southern Shandong on the basis of the Fifth Teaching Brigade. Its commander, Hong Chaoyuan, was extremely heroic and heroic. He was a first-rate general under Liu Yimin.
The Sixth Column was based on the Sixth Teaching Brigade and developed on the Hebei-Shandong border. Commander Zhang Hongtao was the commander of the third battalion of the main force battalion when he was in the Eighteenth Red Regiment. When it was expanded into the Seventh Red Regiment, because Li Qing and Liu Jianli
He was sent to be the commander of the Red 12th Division, the Red 13th Division, Zhang Hongtao, the leader of the main third regiment, and Chen Dayong, the leader of the second regiment, and then became political commissars, and later served as independent commanders respectively.
After reorganization, they became brigade commanders of the 6th Teaching Brigade and the 7th Teaching Brigade. With this experience, Zhang Hongtao and Chen Dayong naturally held a heavy weight in Liu Yimin's heart. When Qingdao was captured, Chen Dayong served as Qingdao Municipal Commander.
Acting mayor; when Jinan was captured, Zhang Hongtao served as commander of the Jinan garrison. This personnel arrangement is fundamentally an affirmation of cadres.
The Fifth and Sixth Columns came up to kill them. Together with the Twelfth Column, the three artillery regiments formed an artillery group and attacked the Japanese troops fiercely, covering the assault of the troops.
As soon as the fighting started in the west and south, the little Japanese panicked. Kitano Kanzo kept urging the 19th Division to attack quickly and quickly capture the Yalu River Bridge so that the main force could pass through quickly. Otherwise, once Liu Yimin's troops were encircled, they would
Completely finished.
The 19th Division did not deploy its attack vigorously. The key was that they were continuously bombed by bomber formations on the way back. Their heavy equipment was severely damaged and they did not even have a tank, let alone a bulky artillery. At this time, infantry artillery alone could
grenade to cover the attack, then
It is simply a foolish dream. Because those who defend Anton City are the most elite special operations formations of our army. The single-barreled rocket launchers of the Second Squadron of the Special Operations Group have a long range and are powerful. As long as the Japanese infantry artillery and grenade positions are discovered, they will fire a volley.
The little Japanese artillerymen couldn't even escape.
Under the cover of night, no one could clearly see Kitano Wanzo's gloomy face, let alone what he was thinking.
The sound of gunfire and shouts of killing were like knives, stabbing into Kitano Wanzo's heart.
At this time, Kitano Wanzou had realized that it was impossible to break through Andong City and recapture the Yalu River Bridge in a short period of time, and he had to find another way. Because Kitano Wanzou could see clearly in the night, the Northeast Field Army troops surrounding them from the south had divided their forces.
Moving towards the Yalu River railway bridge and highway bridge, the torch was like a fire dragon, winding in the wilderness. Needless to say, it was to reinforce the bridge guarding troops.
Kitano Wanzo quietly called Colonel Haru Morita, commander of the 8th Infantry Regiment, and asked him to lead the 8th Infantry Regiment to secretly move north to find a ferry, collect ships, and cover the large forces crossing the river.
After receiving the order, Colonel Haru Morita was about to organize the troops for action. Kitano Zenzo called out to him because as soon as Kitano Zenzo raised his head after explaining the mission, he found that something was happening to the north again. I saw countless car lights lighting up in the north of Anton City.
and torches. Needless to say, another main force from Liu Yimin's department must have arrived.
Kitano Wanzo's guess was very accurate. The second and seventh columns roaring in from the north were sweeping across the eastern Jilin area. They also made long-distance attacks and came to encircle the Japanese army.
Almost at the same time, lights like stars lit up on the east bank of the Yalu River, and they became brighter and brighter. Slowly, in Kitano Wanzo’s surprised eyes, the silhouette of this convoy gradually became clear.
When I got up, it was like a Milky Way made of car lights, flowing towards the Yalu River Bridge.
Our army's mechanized assault force has arrived!
When Gao Yuan led a column to Tumen Town, the little Japs who attacked Tumen Town had already been defeated by the special operations formations led by Li Lingfeng and Wang Laohu. Speaking of which, this was definitely not entirely the credit of the special operations formations.
As Tumen Town swooped down and concentrated its troops, the bomber formation called by Li Lingfeng arrived and launched a bloody massacre against the Japanese troops.
Kill. Wherever the Japs gathered together, aerial bombs would fall. Wherever the Japs were really attacking, the airborne machine guns would shoot at them. In just two waves of air strikes, the captain of the Kwantung Army's supplementary team, Zhu Mao, was replaced.
The Twenty-Third Major General's thoughts of retaking Tumen Town went to the Tumen River, and the water of the newly thawed Tumen River flowed away.
Major General Inomadai 23rd escaped the air-to-ground attack of the bomber formation, but could not escape the sniper's bullet. As soon as the bullet was fired, the confused Major General Inomadai 23rd returned to his grandma's house.
Went.
Major General Zumadai 23 died, and the Japanese army had to take back Tumen Town and the rescue headquarters. The remaining little Japs didn't know how to write the word "death" and swooped towards Tumen Town, led by Li Lingfeng, Wang Laohu, and Li Shanzhu
The special operations formation goes to show off its military exploits
The soldiers' sniper rifles, August 1 automatic rifles, August 1 machine guns, rocket launchers, and single-barreled rocket launchers fired fiercely, collecting the lives of Japanese soldiers. The battle in Tumen Town was not considered a victory until the last little Japanese soldier was killed.
.
If it weren't for the fact that the Kwantung Army headquarters was in Tumen Town, the remaining two brigades of the Kwantung Army's supplementary team and the 7th independent garrison wouldn't have been fighting like crazy, and they might have withdrawn into Changbai Mountain long ago. After all,
, it’s because Yamada Otsuo has a bad character, not only did he say he was captured, but he also dragged so many little devils to be buried.
The first, second and seventh columns rushed to the battlefield and announced the demise of the 4th, 19th and 20th Divisions!
