Chapter three hundred and eighty fifth: iron clamps encircled
"On the 13th, the Japanese Iizuka Detachment had about 4,000 people fought fiercely with the 371st Regiment of our new 37th Brigade in Sanshilipu for two days and nights, with great casualties. Now it has retreated to the Taipingji area to set up defenses. In the early morning of the 14th, the Iizuka Detachment, under the cover of eight tanks and armored vehicles and dozens of artillery, launched a fierce attack on our Taipingji position. Our unit suffered more than 100 casualties. While fighting fiercely with the enemy, it successfully repelled the Iizuka Detachment's attack. ≤,"
"I know." Leng Feng's face was solemn. The 371st Regiment's ability to withstand the attack of Iizuka Detachment was related to whether the annihilation operation against the 65th Japanese Regiment could be successful.
The 9th Division of the Japanese Army in Yangzhou increased its troops, and this was another large group of enemies. If there were no troops to restrain them, the pressure of more than 10,000 people would be overwhelmed. Leng Feng felt a little breathless.
"Teacher, Chief Li of the Fifth War Zone!"
"read!"
"Honored Commander Leng, the 1st Division, Jun Jian, I have ordered the 24th Army stationed in northern Jiangsu to make an attack on the Yangzhou area to alleviate the huge pressure on your division's right wing and support your troops' annihilation plan against the 65th Regiment of the Japanese Army. Commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, Li Delin, February 14, 1938." Xue Ping said seriously.
"Reply to the call, thank Commander-in-Chief Li for his concern. Our department will strictly follow the plan in the first phase to deal a major blow to the Japanese army's vitality south of Chihe and north of the Yangtze River!"
"yes!"
"Boss, should you transfer a team from Mingguang to help?"
"No, Mingguang's 40th Brigade will never be easily mobilized. Now, once you move, the Japanese drama will realize that Mingguang has been occupied by our army. You can hide it as long as you can." Leng Feng said.
The second phase of the combat plan is mainly the troops in the Fifth War Zone, and the Honorary First Division can get a share.
"But this Iizuka Detachment seems to be very powerful. Cheng Gang's regiment has only two thousand people, and its strength is less than half of that of Iizuka Detachment. How can I defend this?" Guo Weiquan also became anxious.
"You don't have to worry, Cheng Gang is not so easy to be defeated. We did not ask him to defeat the Japanese army. We just dragged the Japanese army for ten or eight days, and gave us plenty of time to eat the 65th Regiment. Even if the 9th Division comes in full bloom, we will not be afraid." Leng Feng said heavily.
"I ordered Cheng Gang to not defend to the death, and attack flexibly. As long as I hold the Japanese Iiczuka Detachment for a week, I will give him a great contribution!" Leng Feng ordered.
"Order to Hou Juntang. Draw a battalion from the supplementary brigade and assist the secret service regiment in strengthening the defense line in Wujiang Town." Leng Feng's eyes turned to the location of Wujiang Town.
Niujima Mitsuki's move gave him a huge trouble, forcing him to remove the most elite spy regiment to deal with the Japanese army landing from here.
How can you let others snore on the side of the bed?
Leng Feng looked at the location of Wujiang Town, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
After surrounding the 65th Japanese Regiment, the first thing I solved was the Japanese army landing from Wujiang Town.
Colonel Yezuo of Liangjiao is not a fool. A Japanese cavalry squad has been sent out for two hours, so why hasn't he responded? The news responded to by the telegraph bureau in the town was that a small group of anti-Japanese elements were repelled in an attempt to attack Wuyi Town.
This news corresponds to his previous judgment, which he believes is credible.
But because he was busy commanding the 65th Regiment to fight against the Chinese army, he saw the matter of sending cavalry squads behind him, and only then did he remember it.
By counting the time, the cavalry team should have arrived in Wujiang Town long ago. If the telephone line is destroyed and there is no timely report, a soldier should be sent back to report.
This is a very abnormal thing, and you must be cautious about all abnormal things.
Colonel Liangjiaoye immediately ordered the radio to contact the Telegraph Bureau in Wuyi Town to inquire about the situation of the cavalry team.
"Colonel, the captain of the cavalry squadron sent out was not Lieutenant Hase. Why are you asking Lieutenant Ishihara?" The communications officer was a little surprised. Did the commander make a mistake?
"It's Second Lieutenant Ishihara." Liangjiao Yezuo glared at the staff officer fiercely, without any explanation.
Wuyi Town Telegraph Bureau.
"The captain of the detachment, the Japanese army's telegram, sent by the 65th Regiment, asked whether a cavalry team of Ishihara's Second Lieutenant arrived in Wuyi Town, how can we go back?"
"This is used to be clear code, and we can receive it. Commercial radio stations in this band nearby can receive it. Wouldn't the Japanese army be afraid that such an important telegram will be intercepted?"
"In theory, it can be intercepted, but in fact, such a telegram may have been received, and most people will not believe that the Japanese army will send a message with such a clear code."
"The Japanese army had already sent an inquiry once before. This Japanese cavalry team has been wiped out by me. It seems that they have noticed it. This telegram may be just a test of us." Niu Xianmin said.
"It makes sense." The staff officers of the detachment of the Northbound Detachment agreed.
"How should I go back? The Japanese army will definitely wait for the call back again. After a long time, it will definitely be revealed?"
"I called back and there was indeed a cavalry team stationed in Wuyi Town. Whether the captain was Second Lieutenant Ishihara is verified." Niu Xianmin ordered.
"yes!"
This involves a deception tactic. For things that are unclear, you must have skills when answering and leave room for imagination for the other party.
In this way, the other party will be unclear whether you know or not, and it is difficult to judge below.
Of course, if the other party is a master, you will be able to detect the flaw immediately, but if the other party is not very smart, you will easily get into trouble.
"Verification!" Liangjiaoyeye got the call back and immediately frowned. He originally wanted to use this fake identity to test whether Wuyi Town had fallen into the opponent.
If the opponent falls into the enemy and wants to deceive him, he will definitely give him a positive answer, because at this time the cavalry team must have been killed.
But there actually gave a "verified" reply. He was a little confused. What happened in Wuyi Town? There were two gunfires, the first time lasted less than seven or eight minutes, and the second time was shorter.
Intuition told Liangjiao Yezuo that something must have happened in Wuyi Town, but he was not sure what happened. The Chinese army suddenly increased its attack, and the chariots that had not been used before also appeared on the battlefield, putting Liangjiao Yezuo very much pressure.
Although Yizuo of Liangjiao has an elite Japanese army under his command, as well as other cavalry, artillery and chariot squadrons, the equipment of the Chinese army on the opposite side is not bad.
It is basically equivalent to the Japanese army's equipment and even surpasses the Japanese army in some aspects.
The Chinese army suddenly changed its defensive style and became active offensive, which is worth pondering and doubting. However, Liangjiao Yezuo never thought that the Chinese army on the opposite side would have the idea of eating him and his 65th Regiment in one bite.
He did not think that the Chinese army. Even if the Honorary First Division puts out all its strength, it still has the ability to eat a whole Japanese army in the field.
What's more, there is a strong backing of the division behind the two corners of work.
This is the strong confidence in the two corners of work.
No matter what, Wuyi Town cannot make mistakes, but must be firmly held in your hands, not only related to a large amount of wealth and also a way out, so the two corners of the world considers withdrawing an infantry squadron and placing it into Wuyi Town. If something really happens, a squadron can completely solve the problem.
"Come here, go and call the Lieutenant Liudao from the Third Battalion!"
On the east bank of Qingliu River, a torrent of steel rolled in. The remaining two regiments of the New 37th Brigade led by Liao Se attacked more than 4,000 people and killed them.
The east bank of Qingliu River is the left wing of the Japanese army. Due to the wide river, the Japanese army only deployed a small number of alert troops here, and they were also afraid that the Chinese army would detour from the left wing.
But the wide Qingliu River and the river water that is ten meters deep are natural barriers. The ships in this area are also controlled by the Japanese army, so it is not easy to cross the river and attack.
Of course, the two corners of the work also knew that the Honorary First Division had a large number of ferries, which could fully sail into the Qingliu River, but he was not unprepared. Not only did he send people to monitor the river surface around the clock, but he also set up observation posts on the other side of the river.
However, all this was useless to the rushing Tieliu. Although the Japanese army claimed to be mechanized, compared with European and American powers, he was at most half of this mechanized.
The Japanese and Japanese army's combat effectiveness is world-class, and their equipment can barely be considered second-rate.
In terms of ground mobility. The Honorary Division is no worse than the Japanese army. It has plundered all the cars and land transportation in Nanjing and allocated them to one division. Can the motor ability be poor?
Therefore, when the steel torrent of the New 37th Brigade was almost crushed all the way. The Japanese observation posts and three Rangers located on the east bank of Qingliu River were almost torn into pieces in an instant.
"Report, report to Colonel..." A panicked Japanese lieutenant rushed into the command room of the two corners of Yishu, his face covered in sweat, and shouted in horror.
"Bastard, what's so panicked?" Liangjiao Yezuo had just ordered a squadron of Japanese troops to return to Wuyi Town. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with it.
"Your Excellency Colonel, it's hard to ask for it. A large number of Chinese troops appeared on the left wing..."
"What?" Yezuo was shocked. How could a large number of Chinese troops appear on the left wing? How could this be possible?
The intelligence does not mean that the Chinese army has built a defensive position in Wulidun and Jiangjiadu areas, but this was discovered by aircraft reconnaissance.
If this army attacks, why should we build a large number of defensive positions in Wulidun and Jiangjiadu area? Isn’t this an unnecessary move?
Moreover, news came from yesterday's reconnaissance evening, and the Chinese army stationed in Liuhe did not make any noise. What's going on?
"Colonel, what should we do? Once they cross the river, we will be in danger!"
"Don't panic, at least it is not easy for them to cross the Qingliu River. Order a large group to quickly arrive at the left wing to set up defenses to prevent the Chinese army from crossing the river!"
"Hayi!"
"Report to the Colonel, our right wing found traces of the Chinese cavalry. The number of people was unknown. All the two cavalry squads roaming on our right wing lost contact..."
Yezuo was shocked and his face turned pale. If the Chinese army was discovered only by the left wing, it would not be so easy for the Chinese army to cross the river across a Qingliu River. At least it would be given some time to react.
But when the right wing finds cavalry, it will be troublesome. The cavalry comes and goes like the wind and is best at raids. There is no natural barrier to stop the right wing. Once it rushes over, it will definitely be very troublesome.
"Quick, transfer the third brigade and cavalry squadron to reinforce the right wing!"
The Chinese people wanted to do together on three sides? The two corners of the house felt that their backs were soaked. When they thought of the two gunshots in Wuyi Town, in an instant, he felt as if he was being pulled out of his energy and fell down, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.
