Chapter 846: A Different First Battle of Changsha (Part 2)
The overall deployment of the Japanese army in the first battle of Changsha was for the main forces to come out in three groups and deploy them one by one.
The 106th Division of northern Jiangxi, which was the first to launch the attack, attacked from east to west with the cooperation of the 101st Division. This not only covered the Japanese army's strategic attempt to capture Changsha in northern Hunan, but also contained the Luo Zhuoying Group in northern Jiangxi. If the attack went smoothly, they could attack from the east.
Drive straight in from the west, encircle Changsha in roundabout ways, and take the main retreat of the ninth theater.
Next to launch the attack was the Xiangbei Group, the main force of the Japanese army. The Japanese army was divided into three groups. Among them, the Sixth Division attacked frontally along the Guangdong-Hankou Railway. It planned to break through the Xinqiang River and then encircle and annihilate the Ninth Theater between the Miluo River and the Xinqiang River.
The 15th Army then points directly towards Changsha. To the west of the Sixth Division is the Japanese
The Shangcun Detachment of the Third Division of the Japanese Army took a motorboat to sneak attack on the camp through Dongting Lake, planning to seize the retreat of the 15th Army to the north of the Miluo River. To the east of the Sixth Division is the Nara Detachment composed of the 26th Infantry Brigade of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army.
Their mission was to cover the flanks of the Sixth Division and flank the 15th Army.
The last one to launch the attack was the 15th Division in the direction of southern Hubei. The plan was to start from Tongcheng and Tongshan, pass through Maishi, and Longmen to attack Pingjiang in a roundabout way. Although the Japanese army in southern Hubei was the secondary attack direction, it was Okamura Neji.
The arrangement is to kill. As long as the 15th Division can
With enough detours and side attacks without anyone noticing, it would be difficult for the main force of the Ninth Theater Zone north of the Miluo River defense line to escape. However, what Okamura Ningji did not expect was that as soon as the 15th Division launched, it was defeated by Yang Sen.
The 20th Army discovered. This time, Yang Sen showed
The true nature of a man is that he is not only good at playing with women, he is also good at fighting Japanese invaders. While reporting to Xue Yue, he actually commanded the troops to attack them and entangled the 15th Division. Relying on the enthusiasm of the Sichuan Army, they blocked and attacked from the side.
, delayed the 15th Division's attack
The speed allowed the 15th Group Army to retreat calmly and bought time for Xue Yue to adjust his deployment. Otherwise, not to mention other units, Li Jue's 107th Division of the 70th Army would have sent the elite 19th Division away
Entering the enemy's mouth.
So far in the war, the Japanese army's plan to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Ninth Theater Zone north of the Miluo River and south of the Xinqiang River has been completely shattered. The only result left is to capture Changsha. It depends on whether the Japanese army can get it.
***The main force of the Ninth War Zone successfully retreated from the north of the Miluo River, but the people in this area suffered. The people who had no time to retreat finally saw what Japanese bandits were.
Okamura Neiji no longer flaunted his Japanese military discipline, nor did he say anything to make the older girls not afraid when they saw the Japanese soldiers. He took the initiative to get close to the Japanese soldiers and say hello. The Japanese soldiers were like a group of beards who had been starved in the mountains all winter.
Grab whatever you see, food, livestock, gold, silver, legal currency,
Even the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks used by ordinary people to eat in their homes were all taken away by the little devils. If they couldn't be removed, they were burned. Houses on both sides of the road from Yuanjialing in Changsha to Pingjiang County in Xiangyin were burned to the ground, and more than 200 homes were burned on Changshou Street.
, two-thirds of Chiayi Ridge was burned, and the remaining townships were burned everywhere.
It was the fire and smoke caused by the Japanese army burning down the houses. If the Japanese army were just bandits who looted property, the beards would be better. These beasts regarded killing as easier than drinking cold water. In Xinshi alone, the Japanese army killed more than 500 people.
The common people who had no time to retreat. The most irritating thing
Yes, the Japanese army captured women, young and old, and assaulted them. After the assault, they gathered the humiliated women together and either stood them against a wall or laid them flat on the ground for reporters accompanying the army to take pictures.
, sent it back to Yueyang, washed it out, posted it all over the streets, and published it in newspapers.
Now a very strange situation appeared on the battlefield. After Xue Yue adjusted his deployment, the 20th Army and the 79th Army spread out on the left and right wings of the Japanese 15th Division, as if they were escorting prisoners. Okamura Neji had no choice but to fear
The 15th Division, a newly formed three-unit division, was missing, and the Nara detachment of the 13th Division was urgently ordered to move eastward to occupy Pingjiang and connect with the 15th Division. Since then, only the 6th Division and the 3rd Division were left.
The Shangcun detachment headed towards Changsha.
After the National Revolutionary Army's 15th Group Army, 52nd Army, 195th Division Commander Qin Yizhi and Chief of Staff Han Meicun led their troops to withdraw across the Miluo River, they were ordered by the group army commander-in-chief Guan Linzheng to establish positions between Fulinpu and Uesugi City in preparation for blocking the delayed enemy.
, covering the main force of the group army, setting up decisive battle positions in the suburbs of Changsha to fight the enemy decisively.
This Tan Yizhi was from Anding, Guangxi, and was in the Huangpu Phase II. He participated in the Northern Expedition while in school, served as the deputy district captain and district captain of the Huangpu III Phase, and participated in the Communist Party. After Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 Incident, Tan Yizhi went to Shanghai in 1928
, broke away from the Communist Party and went to the Central Committee of Nanjing
After studying at the military academy, he participated in four and five campaigns to encircle and suppress the Soviet area and the Gubeikou War of the Great Wall. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Qin Yizhi participated in the battle on the northern section of Pinghan Road and was wounded in the chest during the Baoding Defense Battle. He later participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang and the Battle of Wuhan.
He was promoted to lieutenant general and commander of the 195th Division.
Qin Yizhi was from the second phase of Huangpu, and his chief of staff, Han Meicun, was from the third phase of Huangpu. He had been the regiment leader during the Anti-Japanese War in the northern section of Pinghan Road. He also fought all the way from the Taierzhuang Battle and the Xuzhou Battle. However, Han Meicun was lucky.
No, when he was the chief of staff of the 195th Division Major General, the former division commander Tan Kai obeyed him. Once he made a proposal to the military headquarters
I wrote a full piece of paper and sent it to the military headquarters excitedly. I happened to meet the acting commander-in-chief of the 15th Army Group Guan Linzheng at the 52nd Army Military Headquarters and Army Commander Zhang Yaoming to discuss personnel issues. Instead of praising Han Meicun, he praised the 195th Division.
At the mercy of the chief of staff, the division commander transferred Tan Kai and demoted Han Meicun from major general to colonel, becoming a colonel and chief of staff.
On the way back from Xinqiang River, Hanmei Village saw the miserable sight of the people retreating with the army. When they arrived at the Miluo River, Hanmei Village suggested stopping the retreat and blocking the Japanese on the Miluo River. Tan Yizhi also agreed.
He also reported to the military headquarters that the Japanese troops pursuing southward pursuit only had a few thousand troops, and the 195th Division requested to deploy defenses in the Miluo River to resolutely block the Japanese and avenge Shi Enhua and other brothers who died in action.
Qin Yizhi and Han Meicun did not know Xue Yue's Tianlu tactics, nor did they know that Xue Yue made such a suggestion because he wanted to lure the Japanese troops step by step to the Laodao River line to encircle and annihilate them. Needless to say, the result was that the commander-in-chief of the 15th Group Army, Guan Linzheng, called back.
The 195th Division was ordered to withdraw and set up defenses between Fulinpu and Uesugi City.
Late at night on the 26th, Tan Yizhi, who had just led his troops to Fulinpu, Hanmei Village, received an order from Xue Yue himself. Only then did the two of them know that Commander Xue had such a good appetite and wanted to encircle and annihilate the troops in the northern suburbs of Changsha.
Japanese troops marching south.
Xue Yue's order made it clear that this battle is related to the life and death of the Republic of China. The commanders, corps commanders, and division commanders of each group army, corps, and division must effectively control the troops and command from the front. If any unit moves slowly and is afraid of the enemy, press
Revolutionary soldiers will take legal action and will never lend leniently.
Xue Yue also said that he, Commander Bai, and Commander Chen vowed to live and die with Changsha, and they would die in Changsha and never take a step back.
Of course, in order to boost morale, Xue Yue attached in the telegram the full text of Liu Yimin's telegram to the Military Commission. Finally, Xue Yue said in the telegram: "The Eighth Route Army can destroy the Japanese Eighth Division in one battle and the Japanese Tenth Division in one battle.
Division, eliminated in one battle
With such an elite force as the 14th Division of the Japanese Destroying Army, couldn’t our 500,000 athletes in the Ninth Theater Command destroy the Sixth Division in one battle? Can the Ninth Theater Command be looked down upon and laughed at by the Eighth Route Army? The Ninth Theater Command could allow Liu Yimin to come.
Are you in charge?"
Liu Yimin used the aggressive general method on Xue Yue, and Xue Yue used the aggressive general method on the participating troops in the ninth theater. This time it became lively, the enemy's situation became clear, and our army's determination became clear. Suddenly, the Japanese army attacking Changsha became transparent, and the participating troops
Knowing that the enemy in front of them only had such a small number of troops, even the newly formed troops lost their fear and just waited for the Japanese troops to crawl into the furnace.
The first unlucky kid was naturally the Sixth Division, which was ordered to attack Changsha.
Because the traffic was completely destroyed, the Japanese armored vehicles and cars could no longer drive, and the rubber-tired carts could no longer move. The little devils could only follow the tanks with bow-legged steps, driving the artillery carts, and moved forward step by step.
As a result, the advance speed of the Sixth Division and the Shangcun Detachment of the Third Division, which were advancing south from the Miluo River First Line Branch Road, was greatly affected.
It wasn't until the morning of the 29th that Tan Yizhi and Han Meicuncai, who were stamping their feet anxiously, saw a dirty plaster flag through the telescope.
Tan Yizhi has received the notice. Just yesterday, a brigade of the Shangcun detachment fell into an ambush at Sanjie Bridge and Liqiao with the 77th Division of Peng Weiren's 73rd Army. This time, the entire 77th Division came out and attacked.
The little devil is pissed off.
According to the original order of the group army, Tan Yizhi's 195th Division needed to block the Japanese from Fulinpu to Uesugi City for three days, and then retreat to continue to lure the enemy. Now that Xue Yue has adjusted his deployment, Tan Yizhi and Han Meicun are determined to ambush the Japanese directly. Therefore
Because their position was on the right wing, the Japs' troops to attack Fulinpu were limited. Yesterday evening, the search company had contacted the Japs search troops. At the cost of company commander Jin Ming's sacrifice, it was found out that the Japs advancing towards Fulinpu was just a soldier.
Brigade.
Since an ambush is to be carried out, the troop deployment is different. Historically, Qin Yizhi's deployment was that the search company attached to the 566th Brigade formed the first line of defense with Fulinpu as the core; the supplementary regiment formed the first line of defense between Fuxing Temple and Fulinpu
Second line of defense; the 565th brigade is a reserve force, gathered 10 miles away from Fuxing Temple
; The division headquarters is stationed at Fuxing Temple. Now the situation has changed. Tan Yizhi and Han Meicun have pulled up the two brigades, and with Fulinpu as the core and relying on the surrounding villages, they have set up an ambush circle. The supplementary regiment serves as the reserve team.
The search team is responsible for luring the enemy into an ambush. They want to annihilate the enemy who attacked Fulinpu in one fell swoop.
The one who attacked Fulinpu was a brigade of the Japanese Sixth Division. Originally, with the Nara detachment serving as right-wing cover, the Sixth Division only had to concentrate on moving forward and attacking Changsha. Now because the Nara detachment turned to capture Pingjiang to support the 15th Division,
Inaba Shiro had no choice but to send two brigades to cover the right wing. One of the brigades attacked Fulinpu, and the other brigades attacked Jinjing.
Although the Sixth Division is a brutal beast division, there is no ambiguity in fighting. Look, when the little devil came up, he first sent a small team to launch a tentative attack on Fulinpu.
This time, the 195th Division did not dig a position in advance like in history so that the little devils could see it clearly so that they could leisurely set up artillery and start the bombardment. If the attack did not go well, they would call in aircraft for bombing. Instead, they relied on the villages to build positions. The little devils
If you can't attack, you won't be able to find the defenders at all.
The Japanese search team cautiously arrived at the entrance of Fulinpu Village, but there was no movement in the village. The Japanese team leader who led the team ordered the flag soldiers to send a safety signal and prepared to rush into the village. At this time, the Japanese who were guarding Fulinpu Village
The gunmen opened fire, and intensive gunshots rang out. Machine guns and rifles were fired at the little Japs. A team of more than fifty Japs were completely killed in one go.
Although the 195th Division is the elite of the Central Army, there is still a gap between the level of ambushes and the Eighth Route Army. If it is replaced by the instructors, the 115th Division, the Independent Division, the 129th Division, and the 120th Division, they will definitely not shoot and will use this search team
Put them into the village and use bayonets to solve them. Especially the instructors will then pretend to be Japanese soldiers, send out flags, and lure the small Japanese army into the village. In this way, the fighting time will be short, the losses of the troops will be small, and the results will be great.
There is nothing we can do about this. The brothers of the 195th Division are used to fighting positional battles, and they cannot speak Japanese or use the Japanese flag language. It is already good to be able to fight like this.
The sound of gunshots alerted the Japanese captain. This guy fought a bloody battle with the Chinese Army on the front line of the Xinqiang River. After breaking through the Xinqiang River, he basically encountered no major battles. Now that he has broken through the Miluo River, Changsha is in sight. The division
The commander ordered him to serve as flank cover. This guy was still very worried.
I'm not happy! I didn't expect that in this small Fulinpu, one of his search teams fell under the muzzle of a sneak attack by the despicable Chinese through his telescope. When will Chiang Kai-shek's government troops also launch sneak attacks?
, Could it be that the Eighth Route Army from Shandong came to Changsha?
The Japanese captain calmed down and thought that it was impossible for the Eighth Route Army to come to Changsha, so he ordered the artillery to set up positions, recruited four squadron leaders, and deployed the attack in a serious manner.
Soon, an infantry squadron of the Japanese launched an attack on Fulinpu under the cover of two tanks; one squadron was responsible for searching on both wings, and several small Japanese infantry squads carried rifles and dragged machine guns and began to attack the small areas around Fulinpu.
The village launched an attack and search. The Japanese captain led two infantry squadrons and began to build a position, preparing to respond to the Japanese squadron attacking Fulinpu.
Tan Yizhi and Han Meicun will not give the little devil a chance.
Just when the Japanese captain ordered the artillery to fire and the Japanese infantry squadron launched an attack on Fulinpu, Tan Yixia issued a full-line attack order. In an instant, the troops of the 195th Division came out from the villages around Fulinpu, using light and heavy machine guns and mortars.
They shouted hello to the Japanese, and the brothers held their guns, shouted, and shot, and rushed towards the young Japanese.
The reason why Okamura Neiji deployed the troops to attack Changsha at the ratio of one brigade to one Japanese division was because he knew the Japanese very well and knew that Japanese operations usually broke through at one point and shook the whole line, and found that someone was being attacked.
It was dangerous to make a roundabout way and retreat immediately. A Japanese brigade, under the cover of tanks, artillery and aircraft,
If you attack the Japanese defense line a little, you can completely break through, and the Japanese army will naturally retreat. In that case, the Japanese infantry brigade will soon switch to blocking operations. This includes the 15th Army's defense of the New Wall River defense line. Once the Japanese army discovers the
The 15th Division was in danger of flanking the right flank of the Army Group, so it immediately deployed to retreat.
Unfortunately, the situation is different now. Liu Yimin clearly explained the Japanese army's plot and troop deployment. Everyone, including Xue Yue, saw through the Japanese army. He also knew that the Japanese flank troops were restrained by our army and would not be able to reach the battlefield for a while.
At this time, when our army has the right time, place and people, how can we still be afraid of the little Japanese and let them go?
The 195th Division's all-out attack immediately surrounded the Japs. At this time, the Japs captain was not surprised but overjoyed, and immediately ordered the two infantry squadrons he had on hand to form a combat formation and shoot at the squadron in an attempt to
Defeat the attack of the 195th Division.
The Sixth Division is the most elite unit of the Japanese invaders. It has a strong will to fight and strong combat effectiveness. The 195th Division is an elite unit of the 52nd Army. It has a large proportion of veterans and powerful combat effectiveness. It is a veritable trump card on the entire Changsha Battle battlefield. This
For a moment, it was as if the tip of the needle was facing the wheat awn.
The Japanese army suffered a loss because they were trapped in an encirclement, and the 195th Division suffered a loss because of the lack of heavy weapons. Comparing the two, their advantages offset each other, and the battle was fierce.
Tan Yizhi and Han Meicun watched anxiously from the command post, constantly ordering the troops to concentrate their firepower and rush forward to compress and separate the Japanese.
After an hour of fierce fighting, the Japanese plane arrived on the battlefield, but the enemy and we were already entangled, so the Japanese plane had no choice but to drop the bomb on Fulinpu Village, which exploded into flames and filled with smoke.
After the infantry squadrons of the Japs attacking Fulinpu and the infantry squadrons searching and attacking the villages were wiped out, the Japs brigade captain already knew that defeat was inevitable and hurriedly sent a report to the regiment commander and brigade commander for help and organized a breakout.
It’s not that easy to run away at this time!
Tan Yi had spent all his money, and personally led the supplementary group to rush forward. A loud charge horn sounded on the battlefield, urging the athletes to move forward!
The terrain around Fulinpu is undulating, with no dangerous points. The Japs came to launch an attack. They were ambushed as soon as they arrived on the battlefield. They didn't even have time to dig foxholes or trenches, let alone build strong fortifications.
195
Although the division suffered heavy losses on the Xinqianghe defense line, it was, after all, a Category A division with two brigades, four regiments and a supplementary regiment. If there were too many ants, they would kill an elephant. Moreover, the Japanese army was only a two-legged beast, far from a four-legged elephant.
Still missing two legs?
The Fulinpu battle came to an end when the two Japanese tanks that took the lead in escaping got stuck in a rice field. The 195th Division paid the price of more than 1,800 casualties and wiped out a brigade of the Sixth Division. This casualty ratio, in the past,*
**I don’t even dare to think about it.
After reorganizing the troops, Tan Yizhi and Han Meicun immediately commanded the troops to turn and attack the Japanese troops attacking Jinjing, and launched a pincer attack on the Japanese with the troops guarding Jinjing.
On the 29th, the Japanese who had attacked and killed the Laodao River had already arrived and the Chinese *** team had launched a full-scale counterattack and fell into an ambush circle.
