Chapter 545: Raise fire to burn the sky and burn the stubbornness (3)
It was difficult for the Eighth Route Army fighter jets to run out of ammunition and fly away with flapping their wings. The Chief of Staff pulled Kama Shigetaro from the ground.
This air-to-ground attack battle caused heavy casualties to the 33rd Division's direct troops and the infantry brigade of the 215th Regiment operating with the division headquarters, which was equivalent to losing its combat effectiveness.
Standing by the roadside, looking at the corpses everywhere, and listening to the wailings of the wounded soldiers, Shigetaro Kama no longer had his original calmness and elegance. His eyes were filled with tears, and tears kept ticking down.
That way, he was not like a lieutenant general of the great Japanese Empire, but rather like an old Hokkaido fisherman who was stimulated.
The Chief of Staff is loyal to his duties and is busy commanding the soldiers who have survived luck, cooperating with the health soldiers and doctors from field hospitals to rescue the wounded.
Shigetaro Kama was not mentally irritated, but he just couldn't accept the facts in front of him, and was a little overly uncomfortable. After all, he was the leader of the lieutenant general division, and he was responsible. He knew that the danger was far from being relieved. He was not a child at the moment.
At that time, you have to take the troops out of the dangerous areas quickly to avoid another raid by the Eighth Route Army fighter jets, and the result will be even worse.
Shigetaro Kama unexpectedly said that he was so unlucky. He just wanted to transfer troops to avoid another raid from the Eighth Route Army fighter jets, but the Eighth Route Army fighter jets really came.
What came was the ten Eighth Route Army fighter jets that were pursuing the Japanese army eastward. They searched eastward and soon caught up with the Japanese brigade riding on the rubber wheel cart. The Japanese army sent by Shigetaro Kanega to seize the Pingdu County, from the 215th
The wing captain leads the team.
The Japanese army in a brigade of the Guard Division was 960 people, plus the 215th Regiment headquarters, less than 1,000 people. They were all riding on the road in rubber wheel trucks, all exposed to the Eighth Route Army fighter jets.
Under the machine gun, there was no need to throw a bomb. There was only one wave of machine gun attack. The Japanese infantry brigade, who was driving a rubber wheel cart on the road, was in chaos. Not only did the Japanese soldiers suffer casualties, but the pack horses pulling the carts were also
Some of the pack horses that were beaten to death were also shocked and began to pull broken and unbreakable carts off the road and run in the empty fields.
After the Eighth Route Army fighter planes were pulled up, they immediately turned in the air, pounced down again, and began to repeatedly shoot, until they knocked down all the rubber wheel trucks that were fleeing everywhere, and the Japanese in the car were dead, and then they were lifted up once.
When the third dive strafing was fired, it was chasing the Japanese who were lucky enough to survive.
This time, the Japanese knew what air-to-ground attack was, what goshawks and rabbits were, the cruelty of their planes when they slaughtered Chinese civilians, and the helplessness of the soldiers and the common people who were bombed by enemy planes.
The smarter ones lie on the ground and pretend to be dead dogs, trying to avoid bullets from the onboard machine guns; the stupid, panicked, screaming and crying, the Japanese who ran around were miserable, and they were often shot by the Eighth Route Army fighter planes
The machine gun was shot into two pieces, and the blood soaked the soil in the fields in black and red on the road.
Seeing that the fields were filled with corpses of people and pack horses on the road, the Japanese brigade basically reimbursed, and the Eighth Route Army's ten fighter planes rushed eastward and continued to search. However, this time they were disappointed, and they went all the way to Pingdu County.
, and no longer encountered the established Japanese troops, the Eighth Route Army fighter jets returned the same route.
When he returned the same route, he happened to meet the chief of staff of Shigetaro Kama, who was commanding the Japanese army to rescue the wounded. This was a coincidence. The Eighth Route Army pilots naturally would not let these two-legged beasts go, and another round of bye-to-ground attack began.
This guy from Kama Shigetaro is cunning. When the whistling sound of the fighter planes came, he saw it first, immediately slapped on the ground, then pulled out his pistol and fired to warn him, and kept shouting about lying down.
But his chief of staff and the soldiers carrying the wounded were not lucky and were once again baptized by bullets. His chief of staff was the most unlucky, and was hit in the head by an airborne machine gun.
The round bald head turned into a bloody scoop, and blood sprayed out along the blood scoop.
The Eighth Route Army's fighter planes repeatedly fired and dropped bombs until the Japanese army was no longer visible on the battlefield, and then flew southwest.
Shigetaro Kama was looking forward to the stars and the moon. He said the blessings of Amaterasu and the curse of Liu Yimin countless times, and finally sent away the Eighth Route Army's fighter plane. This time, Shigetaro Kama no longer wanted to treat the wounded, even those cannons
He didn't even want heavy machine guns, and rushed to Han Village by the Jiaolai River with the Japanese who had not died by luck. He wanted to hide himself first and then try to gather the troops.
What Kamashiro Shigetaro did not expect was that the Eighth Route Army fighter planes did not come again after leaving, but more than half an hour later, Japanese reconnaissance planes appeared in the air. Now Kamashiro Shigetaro was relieved and quickly counted the number of people and ordered the radio stations and troops that were lucky enough not to be blown up.
connect.
This count of people, Shigetaro Kama was completely crazy. Before the Eighth Route Army fighter bombed, his 33rd Division was a full-scale security division that had just completed the supplement, with 91 personnel in the division headquarters and 178 personnel in the division communication team.
The weapons service team was 132, the field hospital was 239, and the sick horse factory was 48. In addition, the health team and the engineering corps, the baggage corps, the field artillery corps and the infantry brigade of the 215th Regiment.
There are 4,500 troops by the Jiaolai River. Now, those who escape to Hanzhuang with him, plus he himself, have only 1,000 people, which is only equivalent to a brigade. The remaining 3,500 people are not needed.
It is said that most of them went to the Yasukuni Shrine. Some of them may be injured and could not keep up.
Shigetaro Kama looked at the 1,000 dejected soldiers, his heart was like a knife. He knew that these people were like him, who had to avoid bombs and machine gun bullets by crawling on the ground and covering the body. Anyone dared to shoot in the air.
Or those who are exposed will probably not be able to escape back.
Shigetaro Kama knew that he could not run forward any longer. With these 1,000 defeated soldiers, even with the cover of air force, he would not be able to escape to Pingdu County, let alone Qingdao. The troops were too weak, so they could meet them at will.
Go to an Eighth Route Army and you can eliminate them completely
Now that the Eighth Route Army plane has left, I am afraid it won’t come in a short time. No matter what, we have to collect the reorganized troops in Hancun, otherwise it will be a dead end.
Ganyu Shigetaro reorganized the 1,000 soldiers who fled to Hancun with him into four squadrons, leaving one squadron to guard Hanzhuang, and ordered the other three squadrons to return to the Jiaolai River and bring the minor wounded back for treatment, and the serious wounded were
To deal with it, try to find some war horses and pack horses that have not been killed and bring back light and heavy machine guns, cannons and ammunition. If there are no war horses or pack horses, just disassemble the cannons and bury them and cannot explode, because the explosion will attract the Eighth Route Army.
The radio station contacted various troops, but the corps leader of the 215th Regiment could not be contacted. It is estimated that he and the brigade he led to rushed to Pingdu on a rubber wheel truck were broken. The corps leader of the 213th Regiment and the 214th Regiment were still
All survived, but they all reported that the troops suffered heavy losses and reduced their personnel by half. The only thing that kept the establishment intact was the infantry brigade of the 215th Regiment stayed in Qingchi to support the 213th Regiment. Because they were in the town, they were not affected by the Eighth Route Army fighter jets.
There will be no casualties when bombing.
Shigetaro Gansu finally grabbed a life-saving straw and ordered the infantry brigade to immediately divide into two groups to meet the participating troops of the 213th Regiment, and advance east along the main road, gathering the 214th Regiment and the 215th Regiment to defend Weihe Bridge.
The soldiers from that brigade quickly assembled to Hancun. All the minor wounded were brought back, and the serious wounded were dealt with on the spot.
After giving the order, Shigetaro Kama calmed down and thought carefully. He felt that his 33rd Division had completely collapsed. Not to mention going to Pingdu City to defend and wait for assistance, he might not be able to withdraw eastward to Qingdao.
The mission was over. But he was unwilling to give up and dreamed of relying on the cover of the air force to retreat eastward. So, Shigetaro Kamasua sent a report to the 12th Army and General Soichi Teraunuchi, reporting on the loss of the troops and the location of the troops, and requesting the aviation troops to be dispatched as soon as possible to cover the troops
retreat.
At this time, Soichi Deanuchi had already boarded the plane at the airport, so he naturally could not receive the telegram. The telegram from Chief of Staff Kobayashi Asazaburo of the 12th Army came soon.
At this time, Asazaburo Kobayashi had already received the order from General Tsouchi Shou, and knew the ending of the main force of the 108th Division. He immediately ordered the brigade of the 25th Brigade of the 108th Division to be stationed in Shuicun to stop the division headquarters.
Contact and quickly command all Japanese troops and pseudo-guards in Zhoucun, Zhangdian and Zhangqiu to retreat to Jinan as quickly as possible.
After receiving a telegram from Lieutenant General Kamashitaro Kamashitaro, the last trace of illusion that remained in Kobayashi's heart was completely shattered. He immediately replied, ordering the 33rd Division to quickly gather its troops and retreat quickly to the east. He also reported that
The fighter jets that took off from Tianjin, Peking and Shijiazhuang Airports have arrived at Jinan and Qingdao Airports. They can take off after refueling and loading, providing air cover for the 33rd Division.
At the end of the telegram, Asazaburo Kobayashi asked Shigetaro Kane to report in detail the number, model, direction of the Eighth Route Army aircraft, and direction of retreat, so as to facilitate the air force to search, find their old nest, and avenge the Yamato warriors of the 33rd Division.
This mission is very willing to complete. He hates the Eighth Route Army's fighter jets too much, and wants the Japanese fighter jets to find them immediately, chase them and tear them to pieces. Therefore, he not only reported the details of the attack and the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army's fighter jets.
He had a clear idea and added extravagance to the fact that the Eighth Route Army Air Force must be completely eliminated, otherwise, the Great Japanese Imperial Army might be threatened anytime and anywhere.
After sending the telegram, Shigetaro Kama seemed to feel that the Eighth Route Army Air Force would soon be destroyed and his mood was slightly better. Unexpectedly, when he got better, his stomach gushed. Shigetaro Kamama then remembered that he had not eaten since 5 o'clock in the morning.
What! Unfortunately, I just wanted to rush to Weicheng to have dinner, but I didn't prepare much dry food. When the Eighth Route Army fighter jets bombed, they all exploded and there was nothing left. I had to think about filling my stomach, otherwise I would marching in a while
No strength.
During the war, the people lived in fear every day, and when there was any movement, they would immediately evacuate and flee. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, when the Japanese army came, the people fled for their lives and called "Running Old Japan". Later, when the Kuomintang army came, the Kuomintang army came.
The common people's escape from their lives is called "running away from the reactionary forces", which means avoiding the reactionaries.
Originally, the anti-Japanese activities in Pingdu County were carried out very early. After the Battle of Central Shandong, grassroots regimes and militia organizations were established in various places. Unfortunately, the battle of Central Shandong was not long after the Battle of Central Shandong. The heavy army group of Japanese troops pressed towards Shandong, and they took revenge wherever they passed. The traitors were traitors.
The puppet army even more vigorously guided the Japanese army to capture and kill anti-Japanese cadres and militias, causing heavy losses to the anti-Japanese regime and militia organizations, and most of them retreated to the Daze Mountains and Tianzhu Mountains north of Pingdu. In this situation, the Eighth Route Army launched a cold gun and cold artillery campaign.
It will only change later.
This Han Village is located on the road from Pingdu to Changyi, Weicheng. When the Japanese army first arrived, the people ran to Japan. Later, they saw more Japanese soldiers, and some people became accustomed to it and were unwilling to run away. Today is
In this way, when the Japanese army passed by in the morning, most of the people ran away, but a few old men felt that they were just like that and would not do anything to them. They just closed the door and stayed in their own hands.
Home.
After the Japanese fled into Han Village, they were still in shock and were busy arranging defenses, afraid that the Eighth Route Army would catch up. Seeing that the Eighth Route Army had flew away, the ground troops did not catch up. Ganyu Shigetaro ordered the problem of food to be solved, and the Japanese soldiers began to go to the house.
It has harmed the people from door to door.
The Japanese soldiers smashed the gates and searched out the food that the people had too little time to stand firm in their homes. They also arrested several old men and forced them to help the Japanese make fire and cook.
The Japanese are now starving to death. They can't wait until the rice is ready, so they start to snatch the pots and pans around the pots, making chaos. Some Japanese take sweet potatoes and sorghum steamed buns directly
After chewing, I took a kettle and drank it, and it would be a big hit.
Shigetaro Kama was a lieutenant general, disdained to compete with the soldiers for food, but only got a half-baked sorghum paste. He was also very hungry, and regardless of the demeanor of the Lieutenant General and the principal of Toyama School, he picked up the bowl and shouted.
Hululu drank the whole thing. After eating, he didn't even care about wiping the sorghum rice sticking to the tip of his nose. He patted the shoulders of the old men who helped cook and said a few words, asking the old men to continue cooking and wait
The Imperial Army will receive a reward after the meal is finished.
Unfortunately, he couldn't wait to eat anymore. The 213th and 214th Regiments, which were retreating, sent an urgent telegram saying that the Eighth Route Army had caught up with them, with countless tanks, armored vehicles, cars and cavalry, while the Imperial Army's tanks were
It was exploded, the armored vehicles were blown, the cars were blown, the war horses were blown, and most of the soldiers were killed. In any case, they could not resist the offensive of the Eighth Route Army. They asked the division commander to provide emergency tactical guidance.
Where can Shigetaro Kama have troops to support them? At this time, he should not say that he wants to cry, but he has the heart to die. Fortunately, he is the commander of the division and is still responsible for bringing this team to Qingdao, so he has to force him.
He held back and did not cry and ordered the 213th Regiment and the 214th Regiment to abandon all the supplies, completely lightly, and retreat to Hancun. In the words of Kama Shigetaro, it was a victory if he ran to Hancun!
The Eighth Route Army caught up, and went to the Jiaolai River to treat the wounded and the three squadrons that transported weapons and ammunition to withdraw immediately. If they were caught up and eliminated by the Eighth Route Army, they would have to commit suicide.
He ordered the three squadrons to return quickly, and then ordered the radio station to send a message to Asazaburo Kobayashi, telling him that if the aviation fighter planes could no longer be rushed, he and his 33rd Division would be able to be broken.
Shigetaro Kama was not intent on waiting for the rice to be cooked anymore. He called a few old men who helped the Imperial Army cook, took out a handful of Japanese candy from his pocket, stuffed it into the hands of the old men, and insisted on watching them eat it.
It also makes the translator ask whether it is sweet or not.
When the old man nodded and said sweetness, Shigetaro Kama smiled and ordered the soldiers to stab them to death with a bayonet, because the direction of the imperial army's retreat could not be exposed.
After looking at the direction of Taido with some regret, Shigetaro Kanega thought, it would be great if he didn't hurry to Weicheng in the morning. At this time, when he found that the situation had changed, he could retreat to Qingdao immediately. If he didn't help, he could defend the city.
, Wait for rescue. It's okay to walk slowly on the road, so you can go back quickly at least a little closer to Pingdu City. He remembers clearly that there are pseudo police and pseudo guards in Pingdu City. If they are close to them
, and you can also order them out of the city to respond.
It's too late to say anything now. There are no cars, carriages, and war horses. Running with two legs, it's impossible to return to Pingdu City before the Eighth Route Army catches up.
Shigetaro Kama no longer thought about it and ordered the troops to immediately build fortifications in Hancun, ready to defend themselves, and wait for the arrival of the aviation fighter jets.
That morning, Liu Yimin was still staying in Xiayuan Xiong Mi's office.
When the 104th Brigade arrived at the 24th Libao Airport, Liu Yimin already knew that the battle with the 108th Division would end soon. The issue we need to consider now is that we must not let the 33rd Division be fully invested.
The battlefield attacks our army, and the 33rd Division cannot be allowed to escape back to Pingdu County to defend. Although the 33rd Division is a security division with only more than 10,000 people, no matter what, it is also a tank.
The complete division of cannons. Historically, the 33rd Division performed well in the Battle of Shanggao and the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan, especially after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the 33rd Division invaded Myanmar.
Not only did it occupy the British and Myanmar Governor's residence, it also broke through the three defense lines of the British and Indian troops and surrounded 7,000 British troops in Ren'an. If the Chinese Expeditionary Force had not rescued in time, the British would have all become prisoners of the 33rd Division.
Since then, the division has been the main division on the Japanese army's battlefield in Myanmar.
Although the 33rd Division had a history of being defeated by the 7th Corps, Liu Yimin knew that it was when the 33rd Division first came to the battlefield and the soldiers lacked combat experience. The 33rd Division is not the time now
The 33rd Division is here, and their combat effectiveness should have been greatly improved in the Jiaodong sweep operation. At least the new recruits have become veterans now.
Liu Yimin naturally would not take such a force lightly. He immediately ordered Feng Dafei to lead all bombers of the First Brigade of the Eighth Route Army Aviation to take off urgently, search for the 33rd Division between Weicheng and Pingdu, bomb, try to kill the Japanese as much as possible, and consume
The combat effectiveness of the 33rd Division is slow to slow down the speed of the Japanese attacking Fangzi or retreating towards Pingdu.
This is how the large-scale combat is. The commander must be in mind and cannot let go of any link in the battlefield. Otherwise, major problems must occur. Although Liu Yimin sent a report to Shigetaro Kamaga in the name of Yuki Yuki, he lied that Yuki Yuki Yuki and Suzuki
Minxing was injured and brought the Eighth Route Army that was circumventing and sneaking against Gao Guizang, and asked him to rush to Weicheng to command two divisions to fight. He was not afraid of such a big bait. But Liu Yimin also knew that the Japanese division commanders were all in the middle.
Generals have rich experience and are all important officials directly under the Emperor. These guys are often the commanders of the division today and will become the commanders of the army tomorrow. The commanders of the front army and even the chief officers of the Army and the General Staff are often unruly.
Tempering. This Kama Shigetaro was the commander of the 9th Brigade and the principals of the two Army schools must be a meticulous person, and he will inevitably see the flaws. In addition, the telegram sent by Naosabu Kashibe showed that the Eighth Route Army had been seen
If this guy reports to the base camp and Shinakasuki, it is very likely that Shinakasuki will be able to determine the truth about Weicheng and Fangzi's loss from the action of captive Shinakasuki. Such things cannot be concealed for a long time, they are all
No one who leads troops to fight can be more smarter than anyone else, it just depends on who has to take the lead and who can take advantage of the time difference. In this way, you have to hurry up and eliminate the 33rd Division, otherwise it will be very troublesome.
Because of this, when Liu Yimin ordered Li Chang to command the artillery group to carry out a saturation strike on the 104th Brigade, he asked the plateau to quickly end the battle and face the 33rd Division. But he did not expect that the 33rd Division would
It came so quickly and began to retreat soon.
The instructor's reconnaissance force was very strong. After occupying Weicheng, the first brigade, the reconnaissance company of the cavalry brigade and the division reconnaissance battalion that arrived later sent all the reconnaissance soldiers out, the 108th Division and the 33rd Division.
Every move of the regiment fell into the eyes of the investigators.
As soon as he discovered that the 33rd Division arrived at the two regiments in the north and east of Weicheng were about to retreat, Liu Yimin knew that it must be the Japanese army that the headquarters of the 108th Division had been removed, and urgently ordered the 33rd Division to be ordered.
The division retreats. How can this work? Can a cooked duck make it fly?
You can't run away, and Liu Yimin is sure of this. The Sixth Brigade and the Eighth Brigade have encircled Pingdu. The Japanese retreat has been cut off, so it will definitely not run away. The problem is that you have to compete with the Japanese for time.
Let the Japanese retreat back to Pingdu County before the Sixth Brigade of the Education Bureau enter Pingdu, which will become a tough battle. The casualties will be fought in the tough battle, and it cannot be fought easily!
The current situation is that the First Brigade of the Teaching Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade have not yet ended the annihilation war against the First Fourth Brigade. Liu Yimin was in a hurry and had no choice but to do so. However, he ordered Gaoyuan and Hu Laohu to not have to clean the battlefield after the battle, even a few Japanese soldiers would run away.
It doesn't matter, be sure to turn quickly, teach the 1st brigade to the south and the cavalry brigade to the north, and attack the 33rd Division in two directions, disrupt its system, divide and surround it, and quickly annihilate the Japanese with firepower.
