This is what Yue Weihan was waiting for. When he found that the Japanese army was weak, he immediately ordered the three Northeastern Army rout battalions on the two wings and the middle to launch a full-scale counterattack. More than two thousand Northeastern rout troops came over one by one. The Zhongchuan Regiment, which had just landed, immediately felt
When under extreme pressure, he immediately went on the defensive.
However, the Zhongchuan United Team is worthy of being the elite of the Japanese, and their tenacity is beyond imagination.
More than 700 exhausted soldiers were able to withstand the fierce attack of more than 2,000 Northeastern troops who had been recuperating for a long time, and they still had enough energy to divide two squadrons to move to the two wings in an attempt to outflank the Northeastern troops' retreat.
.
Of course, the Japanese army's move did not really want to cut off the retreat of the Northeastern troops. They just put on this posture to try to put psychological pressure on the Northeastern troops on the front of the battlefield. Once the psychology of the Northeastern troops fluctuated, the main force of the Japanese army on the front
He will immediately swoop up like a vicious wolf and crush the three defeated camps of the Northeastern Army in one fell swoop!
Since September 18th, this trick of the Japanese army has been used repeatedly by the Chinese army!
Especially in the Battle of Xinkou, Seishiro Sakagaki relied on half of his division to fight against the Jinsui Army and the more than thirty full divisions of the Central Army in a stalemate.
After the attack on Niangzi Pass and the fall of Niangzi Pass, the morale of the Jinsui Army and the Central Army in front of Xinkou immediately fluctuated. From senior generals to ordinary soldiers, everyone panicked. The main force of the Sakayuan Division took advantage of the situation to press forward.
, more than thirty divisions collapsed immediately!
This is the most unbelievable and at the same time the most shameful battle example for Chinese soldiers in the eight-year war of resistance. It is the whole story of Seishiro Sakagaki defeating more than 30 elite divisions of the national army with half a division.
From the perspective of the Japanese army, objectively speaking, this is definitely a super classic battle example!
Regardless of the bloody hands, Sakagaki Seishiro is indeed a master tactician!
After the Zhongchuan Regiment launched this move, it was indeed an immediate success, and there was indeed a commotion in the three battalions of the Northeastern Army.
However, Yue Weihan was not Yan Xishan, and Hiroshi Nakagawa on the opposite side was not Seishiro Sakagawa. Yue Weihan saw the Japanese tactics at a glance, and immediately ordered the Baoshan 1st Battalion, which had been recuperating for a long time, to launch a counterattack against the Japanese squadron that was encircling the left wing.
, the Japanese squadron, which had reached the end of its strength, quickly collapsed under the fierce attack of the Baoshan 1st Battalion.
After defeating the Japanese squadron that was outflanking the left wing, the 1st Baoshan Battalion continued to move forward, in turn outflanking the flank and rear of the Zhongchuan Regiment. This was a way of treating the enemy with their own medicine. Although the Japanese army was good at this
Said, but after the national army on the opposite side also resorted to this move, they also felt overwhelmed and were immediately forced to shrink and retreat.
As the Zhongchuan Regiment contracted and retreated, the morale of the three defeated battalions of the Northeastern Army in front of them rose up. They immediately rushed up with rifles with bayonets, howling and screaming. The remaining Japanese soldiers who had been trapped in a corner suddenly also
The ferocity became fierce, and Hu Lala all ejected the bullets from the barrels of their guns, and turned back to engage in a hand-to-hand stabbing with the defeated troops from the northeast.
At this point, there is no suspense in the entire battle. It is only a matter of time before the main force of the Zhongchuan Regiment crossing the river is destroyed. Yue Weihan's gambling-style adventure has finally paid off!
…………
Across the river, the Japanese Army's Nakagawa Regiment Headquarters.
Colonel Nakagawa was like a stone sculpture, standing motionless for a long time. The staff officers and service personnel next to him all looked blank. Just a moment ago, the main force of the attacking regiment across the river had been completely wiped out by the Chinese army on the other side of the river.
Two infantry brigades, with more than 1,500 elite troops, were wiped out in one battle!
This is definitely the biggest defeat in the history of the 36th Regiment, and it is definitely the most humiliating defeat in the history of the 9th Division. Perhaps starting from tomorrow, the 36th Regiment will disappear forever from the organizational list of the 9th Division.
, after such a shameful defeat, what qualifications does the 36th Regiment have to remain on the 9th Division's organizational list?
"Clang..." With a slight sound of metal friction, Colonel Nakagawa slowly drew out his saber.
The sharp saber still chills the flesh, but the glory that belongs to the samurai has gone away from Colonel Nakagawa. The only thing he can do now is to end his short and shameful life in the way of a samurai. Although, Chapter 36
The army was not really destroyed. Lieutenant Colonel Honda still had an infantry brigade and an artillery brigade in his hands.
However, Colonel Nakagawa knew that he had no chance, and would never have a chance!
When unexpected artillery suddenly appeared on the other side and covered the Jingjiang Pier with artillery fire, Colonel Nakagawa knew that he was doomed.
In fact, Colonel Nakagawa also knew that he should not launch an attack rashly. At least he should first find out the strength of the Chinese army on the other side of the river before attacking. But he did not do so. It was not that he did not want to, but that he could not. General Matsui Iwane gave him the final advice.
The deadline is to annihilate Baoshan Camp and capture the cunning China fox before dark today.
Colonel Nakagawa had no choice. At this moment, he could only choose to commit seppuku.
…………
Nanjing, garrison headquarters.
When General Tang was being troubled by the telegrams from various frontline ministries asking for help, the adjutant hurried in with another telegram. General Tang immediately frowned and said impatiently: "Where are you asking for help again? I'm still here
That said, if we don’t have any soldiers, we need a hundred or so kilograms of meat. If you want it, just ask them to send someone to get it.”
"Uh..." The adjutant suddenly choked up when he heard this, and then said awkwardly, "Commander, the victory of the Baoshan Regiment is reported!"
"Good news, good news, damn good news." Admiral Tang cursed subconsciously. After the curse, he came back to his senses and immediately turned around and said, "What did you say? Good news?"
The adjutant immediately handed over the telegram and said excitedly: "Commander, the Baoshan Regiment fought two major victories in Jingjiang. First, it annihilated an infantry brigade under the Chongteng Detachment in one fell swoop, and then completely annihilated the Japanese Army's 3rd Army, which was pursuing across the river.
Most of the 36th Regiment of the 9th Division has more than 1,500 people, and they have gained a lot!"
Admiral Tang hurriedly received the telegram, and before he read it, he was so excited that he cursed twice.
The adjutant added: "Commander, Yue Weihan also said in the telegram that after cleaning the battlefield, he will lead his troops to march to Yangzhou overnight. Based on the Baoshan Regiment's marching speed in the past few days, it is estimated that they will be able to arrive before dark tomorrow. As long as Liu Yi
If the 672nd Regiment can hold on until dark tomorrow, Yangzhou will be saved!"
"Okay, great!" General Tang said this and handed the message back to the adjutant. "In this way, the message will be forwarded to the Wuhan camp immediately. I'm afraid the old man will be impatient."
"Yes." The adjutant agreed and hurried away.
The chief of staff standing nearby suddenly reminded in a low voice: "Commander, Yue Weihan is a fellow villager of the old man and a direct descendant of Huangpu. Is it too risky to ask him to save Yangzhou? If the war goes well, it will be fine. If not, Baoshan will be taken away."
The group also paid for it, I'm afraid it will be hard to explain to the old man."
"Explain it?" General Tang glared at the chief of staff coldly and said, "Explain it to me!"
"Since I took the initiative to stay and guard Nanjing, I have no intention of leaving alive. If he, Jiang, is willing to compete with a dead man, then so be it! In any case, I have risked my life, not to mention that the Baoshan regiment originally belonged to
Nanjing Garrison Theater Sequence, even if he is not a unit of our theater, I will still second him!"
The chief of staff shook his head and sighed, and said nothing more.
…………
More than a hundred miles south of Jiangyin, Lieutenant Colonel Honda was leading the 36th Regiment's 3rd Infantry Battalion and Direct Artillery Battalion. The tank team was rushing forward at night, accompanied by the Military Police Battalion led by Colonel Takahashi. Although the weather had improved, continuous
It had been raining for three days and it had stopped, but Colonel Takahashi and Lieutenant Commander Honda were not at all relaxed.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Colonel Nakagawa sent a telegram saying that he had launched an attack on Baoshan Camp in Jiangbei.
It's already past six o'clock, and it's already dark. Normally, there should be news from Colonel Nakagawa. Just when Lieutenant Commander Honda was feeling anxious, the door of the telecommunications vehicle suddenly opened, and a second lieutenant officer ran away with a solemn look.
He came down, stood up straight in front of him and said, "Sir, there is an urgent call from the regiment headquarters!"
Lieutenant Commander Honda grabbed the telegram and read it in a hurry, his face instantly turned pale.
When Colonel Takahashi saw this, his heart suddenly sank, and he said solemnly: "Honda-kun, is there any result from Nakagawa-kun?"
Lieutenant Colonel Honda did not answer, but handed the message to Colonel Takahashi. After Colonel Takahashi read it in a hurry, his calm expression suddenly changed. The 1st and 2nd Infantry Brigades of the 36th Regiment were all in pieces. Nakagawa
Colonel committed seppuku! This news immediately shattered all the extravagant hopes of Colonel Takahashi. He knew that the Takahashi family was finished.
