After teaching the small troops of the 1st Battalion of the 4th Regiment to attack effectively, Liu Jianshe did not order to expand the results of the battle. Instead, he ordered the 1st Battalion to control the rhythm of the attack, stick to the Japs, try to lure the Japs to attack, and ambush the Japs.
Liu Jianli wanted to lure the Japanese into an ambush, but Fujii Yoji, the commander of the 38th Division, refused to cooperate. The old Japanese really wanted to counterattack and regain the lost position. But Fujii Yoji was a bitter man in the Japanese army and had a more rigorous style.
.He knew that he was facing the troops of the Eighth Route Army Instructor Division, the victorious division that had just eliminated the 14th Division, the 35th Division and the independent 13th Brigade. If he was not careful, he might be killed.
They were in a desperate situation. Moreover, they originally expected the Shangqiu Japanese Army to dispatch to attack the Eighth Route Army. As a result, the Shangqiu Japanese Army just defended the defense line without any movement. I sent a message to the Twelfth Army Headquarters and found out that the North China Front Army Headquarters believed that the Japanese Army in East Henan was weak and rashly
If we send out a pincer attack on the Eighth Route Army, we will easily fall into the Eighth Route Army's ambush trap. Therefore, the North China Front Army Headquarters has strictly ordered the Japanese troops in East Henan to guard and not leave their positions.
For these reasons, after Fujii Yoji led the main force to the battlefield, he did not engage in any outflanking or surprise attack. Instead, he fought steadily and the main force stayed still. He gathered and reorganized the troops that had been disabled by the Eighth Route Army, shrank their positions, organized two infantry brigades and
The Eighth Route Army conducted position offensive and defensive operations and waited quietly for the arrival of reinforcements from Xuzhou.
As a result, there was a stalemate on the battlefield. On the Eighth Route Army's side, a small battalion of troops was attacking, and on the Japanese side, a large force of troops was counterattacking. The two sides fought ping-pong-pong for several hours, but in the end nothing happened to either side.
progress.
Liu Jianshe didn't believe that the Japanese army could be so calm, and wanted to wait a little longer to see if the 38th Division would take the bait. As a result, the reconnaissance company reported that Japanese reinforcements had arrived in Dangshan County, and the Japanese army was a mechanized force.
The tanks cleared the way, and the cars followed, moving very quickly, and began to branch off and make circuitous routes to the two wings of the battlefield.
Seeing this scene, Liu Jianli knew that it was time to retreat. If it was too late, he would fight to the death with the Japanese. Therefore, Liu Jianli decisively ordered the main force preparing for the ambush to withdraw from the battle in covert manner. The first battalion of the Fourth Regiment of the Overseas Chinese Religion continued to fight with the Japanese army.
After completing the task of mobilizing Japanese troops in Xuzhou, they quickly evacuated.
By the time the Japanese Second Division and Fifth Division completed the outflanking in Yangji Town, the Second and Sixth Teaching Brigades of the Eighth Route Army had already withdrawn. The little devils braved the wind and snow to come all the way from Xuzhou and wasted a lot of money.
After using so much gasoline, I could only stare at the vast white land in a daze.
The sky shook when the Eighth Route Army attacked, and the ground shook when it retreated silently. By the time Fujii Yoji realized that the Eighth Route Army had escaped, the area around Yangji Town was already very quiet.
Fujii Yoji inspected the Japanese positions that had been captured by the Eighth Route Army. Not only did he not find the seriously wounded and dead bodies of the Eighth Route Army, he also found that the Eighth Route Army had arranged all the Japanese corpses neatly, but the Japanese corpses had been stripped cleanly, leaving only
Close-fitting underwear.
Fujii Yoji was more pragmatic and knew that the reason why the Eighth Route Army took off the uniforms and boots of the Japanese soldiers was for reuse. In war, everything that is lost belongs to the opponent. Fujii Yoji saw this clearly.
Fujii Yoji praised the Japanese 230th Regiment that guarded Yangji Town, believing that they had made great achievements in holding on to their position and brought honor to His Majesty the Emperor. Although the losses of the 230th Regiment were too great.
Fujii Yoji could not continue to praise him because the Second Division and the Fifth Division caught up and joined him. Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, the commander of the First Division who commanded the Japanese reinforcements, also arrived in Dangshan County.
He had to rush back to meet with Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe.
After Lieutenant General Gangbe Naozaburo arrived at Dangshan County, he quickly established a headquarters in the county. He fully hoped that the mechanized Second Division and Fifth Division could surround the Eighth Route Army and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive and join the battle, so as to completely eliminate the assault on Long
The Eighth Route Army by sea made him famous throughout his life. Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army sneaked away secretly, allowing his 100,000 troops to go on a snowy night trip!
The angry Naosaburo Okabe was very rude to Fujii Yoji, the commander of the 38th Division who hurried back to Dangshan County to join him. He scolded Fujii Yoji for being afraid of the enemy and not daring to take the initiative to attack and entangle the Eighth Route Army. He should engage in military law.
Naosaburo Okabe is a lieutenant general, and Yoji Fujii is also a lieutenant general. Moreover, Naosaburo Okabe is no longer the chief of staff of the North China Front. Is Fujii Yoji the one who should be engaged in military law?
Hahahaha, Fujii Yoji bit the bullet and said: "Kangbe-kun, the Eighth Route Army raided Yangji Town and opened a gap of five kilometers from east to west in Yangji Town. The 230th Regiment suffered heavy losses. It is dark now, it is snowing, and the enemy's situation is unknown.
, the Shangqiu troops did not mobilize to cooperate. I think it is a very irresponsible and reckless move to rush into the main force of the 38th Division to counterattack the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, the 38th Division blocked the Eighth Route Army's attack and died in the battle.
What a brave man, I think the 38th Division should be rewarded rather than insulted!"
To be honest, the performance of the 38th Division has been very good. It fought to the death and refused to retreat, which showed the Japanese army's Bushido spirit of not fearing death. It may be precisely because of the performance of the 38th Division that the Eighth Route Army was defeated.
The plot to further expand the results of the war and defeat or eliminate the main force of the 38th Division. Naosaburo Okabe knew this. However, he braved the wind and snow to drive 160 miles, but was fooled by the Eighth Route Army.
The fire in his heart jumped up. Seeing that Fujii Yoji dared to defend himself, Okabe Naosaburo was even more annoyed. He stepped forward, grabbed Fujii Yoji's collar and fanned the flames.
As the saying goes, you don't slap someone in the face, and you don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold someone. If Naosaburo Okabe was the chief of staff of the North China Front, or just the two of them, Fujii Yoji might have drank the pot of wine. Now the commander of the Second Division, Yasui Toji
Lieutenant General, Lieutenant General Imamura Jun who succeeded Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando who was promoted to the commander of the 21st Army as the commander of the 5th Division, and Lieutenant General Komatsubara Michutaro, the commander of the 23rd Division were all present. Fujii Yoji's tone was absolutely
You can't swallow it. If you take this breath now, Fujii Yoji will never be able to get involved in the Japanese military in the future, and the 38th Division will never be able to get ahead!
After being slapped, Naosaburo Okabe was still feeling angry and was still chattering insults: "A unit like the 38th Division is purely a garbage unit, wasting precious rice and flour, and wasting precious gasoline and bullets.
If it weren't for such rubbish troops, the Japanese Army would not be so embarrassed in front of the American and European powers! The Eighth Division was shattered because of the reinforcement of the independent third brigade, and the Fourteenth Division was crushed because of the Third Brigade.
The 15th Division and the 13th independent mixed brigade were defeated and shattered. Sooner or later, the elite divisions of the Japanese Army will be dragged down by these garbage troops!"
Without waiting for Naosaburo Okabe to say anything else, Fujii Yoji shouted "Baga" and rushed forward. He immediately threw Naosaburo Okabe to the ground. The two of them rolled on the ground, yelling at each other "Baga, you"
I was beaten to the ground with one punch and one palm.
The three Japanese division commanders were as angry as Naosaburo Okabe. The Eighth Route Army had escaped and they could not find it. At this time, it was snowy and it was still dark, so they did not dare to pursue it rashly. Who knew the Eighth Route Army
Where did they run? Is there a big trap waiting for them ahead? But the Fujii Yoji who made them exhausted was in front of them. This was all the fault of the languid Fujii Yoji. If his 38th Division
If they can attack decisively and repel the attack of the Eighth Route Army, they will not have to suffer in such bad weather. Even if Fujii Yoji cannot defeat the Eighth Route Army, as long as he moves forward with his main force and fights with the Eighth Route Army, that will be enough.
If we can buy time for the main force to rush to encircle and annihilate the Eighth Route Army, how can we end up working in vain like now, being played around like monkeys by Tubal Road. Therefore, watching Naosaburo Okabe and Yoji Fujii fighting on the ground, these three
The Japanese division commander actually opened his arms and saw that Fujii Yoji had the upper hand. The three of them were punching and kicking each other. Naosaburo Okabe had to push Fujii Yoji down. Naosaburo Okabe had the upper hand.
When they got the upper hand, the three people began to sarcastically mock Fujii Yoji with all their sarcasm.
Several old men in their fifties, and even Japanese young men with the rank of lieutenant general, who were well-known for holding heavy troops, were fighting fiercely in the headquarters just like they had fought in the Army Academy or Army University when they were young.
The chiefs of staff, staff officers and guards outside looked at each other in shock, and no one dared to come in to start a fight. In the end, both Naosaburo Okabe and Yoji Fujii were exhausted, their lieutenant general uniforms were torn, and their faces were all covered with blood.
He was so angry that he stopped.
Fujii Yoji got up from the ground, and his grievances turned into resentment. He ran to pull out his saber and stabbed him in the abdomen. Before falling down, Fujii Yoji had blood in his mouth and walked straight towards the post.
Saburo said bitterly: "I will go to Amaterasu to accuse you!"
Naosaburo Okabe is definitely not a reckless man who doesn't know the importance of matters. Just look at the methods he used to win over the traitors in Peking, and you will know that this guy is a resourceful person. It's just that the Eighth Route Army won consecutive battles, and the Japanese generals were already in a hurry after losing the battle.
I was so annoyed. In addition, he came from Xuzhou in the wind and snow and vented all his grievances on Fujii Yoji, which led to this bloody incident that was not visible on the stage. If reporters knew about this,
The image that Naosaburo Okabe worked so hard to build up is completely over!
Naosaburo Okabe couldn't care less about the dust on his body or scolding Fujii Yoji anymore. The knife had already woken him up. He hurried to Fujii Yoji's side, leaned over and looked at the wound, stretched out his finger and touched it.
Fujii Yoji tried the end of his nose, raised his head and shouted: "There is still hope, hurry up, call the military doctor for help!"
Yasui Toji, Imamura Jun, and Komatsubara Michutaro were just like Naosaburo Okabe. They were originally full of resentment and wanted to express their resentment against Fujii Yoji. Unexpectedly, Fujii Yoji would actually do this. The knife scared them silly.
It wasn't until Okabe Naosaburo shouted to call the military doctor that the three of them woke up and ran to the door and shouted to the guards to call the military doctor.
It was also Fujii Yoji that the old Japanese soldier should not have been killed. The knife stabbed into the abdomen instead of the heart. With the medical level of the Japanese army, he could naturally be saved.
After the military doctors carried Fujii Yoji away, Naosaburo Okabe sat down on the ground, his eyes widened, and murmured to himself: "It's all Liu Yimin's fault! It's all Liu Yimin's fault!"
Yasui Toji, Imamura Jun, and Komatsubara Michutaro were all dejected by Fujii Yoji's knife, and they were all like clay statues. At this time, Naosaburo Ikabe found out the root cause of the problem, and shouted almost in unison: "It's all Liu Yimin's fault.
Trouble! It’s all Liu Yimin’s fault!”
After shouting, the four old devils looked at me and I looked at you, and their hearts were gloomy. Later, Naosaburo Okabe asked the guards to change him into a military uniform, and wiped the lumps on his face with iodine.
Only then did he start leading several people to study the next battle plan.
During the Battle of Taixi, Naosaburo Okabe made up his mind to annihilate all the troops of Liu Yimin, even a security brigade. At that time, if the Eighth Route Army Air Force had not taken the risk to attack, severely damaging the First Division and the Second Division
regiment, it is very likely that the Luxi Guard Brigade and the New Sixth Brigade will really be dumped by the Japanese army. This time, Naosaburo Okabe felt that there was still a chance. His idea was to let the Guards Division and the Armored Brigade cooperate with each other to attack from two fronts.
, thoroughly sweep the areas of southwestern Shandong and western Tai, and completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army in these two areas.
Okabe Naosaburo's plan was in line with the battle plan of the base camp and the North China Front Army Headquarters. As soon as it was proposed, it got the support of Fujii Fujii, Imamura Jun, and Komatsubara Michutaro. These old devils, after Fujii Yoji committed suicide in anger
, actually had the same hatred of the enemy, and wanted to catch Liu Yimin and his troops now, and have a decisive battle.
After Naosaburo Gangbe reported his idea to the North China Front Army Headquarters, he was surprised by the recovery he received. Commander Shan Shanyuan made it clear in the telegram that Suxian County was lost and there was no time to raid southwestern Shandong and Taixi for the time being.
After Suxian was recaptured, Naosaburo Okabe was asked to immediately formulate a plan to recapture Suxian, and command the three divisions of the Kwantung Army to cooperate with the Twelfth Army and the Bengbu troops of the Central China Front Army to retake Suxian and open the Jinpu Road.
Naosaburo Okabe lamented: "Liu Yimin was so cunning, and he was so cunning that he turned the elite divisions of the Imperial Army into fire brigade. If this battle continues like this, the Japanese Army will be led by Liu Yimin.
Yes, taking the initiative to attack will turn into being passively beaten, which is very scary."
These words touched the hearts of several Japanese division commanders. The commander of the Fifth Division, Lieutenant General Imamura Jun, immediately suggested a multi-pronged attack to encircle Suxian and completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army that captured Suxian.
Although Imamura Jun didn't have many opportunities to face-to-face with the Eighth Route Army instructors, he knew the glorious war history of the Fifth Division and knew that the main force of the Fifth Division was broken into pieces in the hands of Liu Yimin. Lieutenant General Itagaki Seishiro was also ordered to have a disembowelment due to the disastrous defeat.
He apologized. Now he is the commander of the Fifth Division, and he wants to take revenge on the Eighth Route Army and regain his reputation for his predecessor.
Michutaro Komatsubara, commander of the 23rd Division, had suffered heavy losses from the Eighth Route Army on Deishi Road. He was still frightened by the Eighth Route Army's concentrated artillery attack. He immediately reminded Imamura Jun that the troops must not be divided. The firepower of Liu Yimin's department was strong. The Eighth Division, the
The 10th Division all advanced alone and were eaten by the Eighth Route Army. The 14th Division was also divided into two groups with the 35th Division, forming the 13th Brigade. Who knew that Liu Yimin
Where is the power hidden? Maybe Su County is another trap dug by Liu Yimin, and dividing the troops may provide Liu Yimin with an opportunity.
Although the little Japanese divisions were huddled together in a fierce manner, in fact they were completely afraid of the Eighth Route Army, and everyone was afraid of dividing their forces.
The commander of the Second Division, Anjing Toji, said: "Michi-kun Komatsubara's suggestion makes sense. Now that one division of the Imperial Army has no advantage against the main force of the Eighth Route Army's teaching division, it is very dangerous. If the troops are divided, there should be more than three divisions.
The group should be together, and the distance should not be too large, so that they can support each other in times of crisis."
Naosaburo Gangbe could see clearly the thoughts of several division commanders, and he himself had the same thoughts. Therefore, he put forward an idea, which was to quickly strengthen the front-line defenders of Bengbu, concentrate the first division, and the second division.
Division, the Fifth Division, the Sixth Division, the Sixteenth Division, the Guards Division and the Armored Brigade, in a fan-shaped form, stretched a large net and advanced rapidly from north to south. If the Eighth Route Army held on to Suxian,
Just destroy them in Suxian. If the Eighth Route Army flees south, destroy them around Bengbu.
As for the 23rd Division, Naosaburo Okabe's opinion was to stay at the Longhai Line. It could work with the 38th Division, the 27th Division, and the 114th Division to build a solid defense line to prevent southwestern Shandong.
, the Shandong Eighth Route Army went south to reinforce Liu Yimin, and could also serve as a reserve force for the southward battle together with the 27th Division.
As soon as Naosaburo Okabe said this opinion, several people applauded loudly. The six permanent divisions plus the armored brigade were foolproof. Moreover, Yoji Fujii was in the process of rescue, and it was impossible to carry out the duties of the 38th Division.
The responsibility of the regimental division commander requires a general at the division commander level to take command in Dangshan, so as not to give the Eighth Route Army an opportunity to take advantage.
Seeing that the opinions of several people were unified, Naosaburo Okabe immediately sent a telegram to Sugimoto Yuan, stating his idea, and reported that Lieutenant General Fujii Yoji took the lead in the battle, engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Eighth Route Army, and was pierced by a bayonet in the abdomen. He was seriously injured and could not get out of the firing line.
In the end, the defense line was held. With the timely reinforcements, the Eighth Route Army that broke through Longhai Road was repelled and Longhai Road was opened.
This is the brilliance of Naosaburo Okabe. He did not say that his fight with Fujii Yoji caused Fujii Yoji to commit suicide in shame and anger. Instead, he gave Fujii Yoji a high hat. He had no fault and merit, and he created the Japanese army.
The defenders made a great contribution in defeating the main offensive of the Eighth Route Army instructors. Naosaburo Okabe did this because he felt guilty or to accumulate propaganda materials for the degenerate literati in the pen army. Anyway, Yoji Fujii, who was rescued later, knew about it and touched it with his hands.
Holding the medal, I kept saying that Lieutenant General Gangbu was really a general with the demeanor of a general!
It seems that Naosaburo Kangbe can still be promoted, and he cannot escape the rank of general.
Dear book friends: I had a mission yesterday and I went out. I just came back tonight. I’m sorry everyone. Please forgive me, my friends. People can’t help themselves in the world. Thank you everyone!
