"Boss, the Japanese army sent a set of strange signals." Lan Ping suddenly shouted, "It looks like a code name."
Soon, Lan Ping transcribed the set of signals. Yue Weihan took the code book and compared it, and immediately said with a ferocious smile: "Yes, this is the code name. The little devil is really damn cunning. He called back immediately: 'Carp'
.”
Lan Ping said in astonishment: "Just a 'carp'?"
"Yes." Yue Weihan said coldly, "This is the code name of the 5th Division!"
For the vast majority of the national army generals in this era, the code names of the Japanese army divisions were simply a mystery. They did not even know that the Japanese army divisions had code names at all, but for Yue Weihan, a time traveler and military history enthusiast,
Although it is impossible not to know the code names of the Sakagaki Division and the 9th and 21st Brigades to which it belongs.
As soon as he finished speaking, fierce gunfire rang out outside the hospital. The special operations team had already engaged the Japanese patrol team at the headquarters. Although the security work of the little devils was tight on the outside and loose on the inside, this was after all the 5th Division known as the Steel Army.
The old devils from the regiment and patrol team also waded out from the pile of dead people, and they quickly smelled something abnormal in the air.
"Withdraw!" Yue Weihan gave the order, and the special forces members quickly withdrew from the telecommunications room. Liu Tiezhu, who was walking at the end, threw a grenade backhand, and all the radio stations in the telecommunications room were immediately wiped out.
…
Taierzhuang, Sakamoto detachment headquarters.
Colonel Ono hurried in and said to Sakamoto: "Your Excellency, General, please call back from the division and regiment headquarters."
Sakamoto Shun took a look at the telegram, and all doubts in his heart were immediately gone. He immediately turned around and said fiercely: "Order, the Kawada Brigade is the leader, and the other brigades will follow up one after another to break out in the direction of Linyi!"
"Hai!" several commanders and the captain suddenly lowered their heads and agreed.
Major General Sakamoto is quite confident about breaking through. Not to mention that the national army outside Taierzhuang is unprepared. Even if they are prepared, they will never be able to stop the Sakamoto detachment. The reason why the Sakamoto detachment has been holding on to Taierzhuang for so many days is not
They can't break through, but they don't want to break out at all.
…
Xuzhou, War Room, Fifth War Zone Commander's Headquarters.
It's already past two o'clock in the morning, but General Li and Deputy Commander Bai are completely sleepless. According to the battle plan drawn up by Yue Weihan, his special forces will launch a special attack on the division headquarters of the Japanese 5th Division in Linyi City early this morning.
strike, and will hijack the radio station of the 5th Division Headquarters and issue a breakout order to the Sakamoto detachment in Taierzhuang.
All fourteen divisions involved in the ambush are in place, waiting for the Sakamoto detachment to break through!
As long as the Sakamoto detachment breaks out from Taierzhuang, their destruction is doomed. They have lost the solid fortifications outside Taierzhuang. In addition, it is night again and the Japs' planes cannot take off to join the battle. With the strength of the 14th National Army Division,
With its superior strength, if it still cannot defeat the few thousand remaining soldiers of the Sakamoto detachment, then China really might as well surrender directly.
There was silence in the war room, except for the ticking of the radio station in the telecommunications room next door.
Admiral Li was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, while Vice Commander Bai was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. Several combat staff were carefully moving the red and blue flags on the sand table. One of them whispered: "Hey
, do you think the Sakamoto detachment will really break out from Taierzhuang?"
"I see, the little devil is not stupid."
"Even so, Yue Weihan's battle plan is too whimsical."
"A dozen people want to take down the headquarters of the 5th Division and hijack the rooftop? What a joke!"
"You guys really shouldn't be so hasty in jumping to conclusions. Has the Baoshan Brigade created few miracles since Sihang Warehouse?"
"The Baoshan Brigade has won many battles. We all admit this, but they were all on frontal battlefields. But this time, a small group of troops went deep behind enemy lines. Can it be the same?"
"Hey, you have forgotten that Yue Weihan personally sniped and killed Asaka Miyako, the commander of the Japanese army in Shanghai. That little devil was still a member of the Japanese royal family! During the Battle of Songhu, Yue Weihan also led a small force to blow up the Japanese army's third
The 3rd Division’s forward base also killed the 3rd Division Lieutenant General Susumu Tengtian, the commander of the 3rd Division?”
While several combat staff officers were arguing, General Li's adjutant suddenly walked in with an excited look and said: "General desk, the forward observation post has just sent back the news that the Sakamoto detachment of Taierzhuang has begun to break through!"
"Oh?" Admiral Li's narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and an inexplicable cold light flashed away.
Vice President Bai suddenly stopped in his steps, turned around and said, "Yue Weihan, this guy really did a good job!"
Several combat officers in the war room were immediately shocked. Whether they supported Yue Weihan or not, everyone's faces were full of shock.
"Order." General Li suddenly stood up and said, "The divisions on the outskirts of Taierzhuang must not easily indulge the enemy, nor must they fight to the death. When appropriate, make an opening to let them break through! Both sides of the Weitai Highway have entered ambush positions.
Division, prepare for battle immediately. Once the Japanese army enters the ambush circle, the entire army will press forward and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. The battle must be ended before dawn!"
"Yes!" The adjutant stood at attention and immediately took the order. Admiral Li was no longer sleepy at all. He and Vice Commander Bai stood next to the simulation sand table at the same time. Vice Commander Bai took the command pole from the combat staff and pointed.
Somewhere on the sand table, he said: "Look, Mr. De, this river valley is our preset ambush position..."
…
Linyi County.
The special forces were fighting and retreating along the streets and alleys. More and more Japanese soldiers were swarming from all directions. Fortunately, Yue Weihan had already asked Pang Hu to explore the retreat route, and then sent Pang Hu's third group and
Cao Shangfei's second group stayed to protect the escape route, and the special force did not fall into the enemy's encirclement.
"Boss!" Pang Hu's figure suddenly appeared from the wall in front and shouted, "This way!"
When all nine members of Yue Weihan's group climbed over the wall, Pang Hu threw down the bunch of smoking grenades in his hand, turned over and walked away. Hearing a loud bang, the entire wall suddenly collapsed, and the smoke filled the air.
It immediately blocked the sight of the Japanese soldiers who were pursuing him. As a last resort, the Japanese soldiers had no choice but to circle around and pursue them from both sides.
By the time the Japanese soldiers got around the wall, Yue Weihan and his party had already climbed up the city wall along the zipline.
When the Japanese soldiers quickly raised their guns and took aim, the figures on the top of the city flashed and disappeared. The whizzing bullets only hit the battlements on the top of the city and scattered bricks, but not even a hair on the special forces team was injured.
…
A few miles east of Taierzhuang, Wangchang River Valley.
The remaining 4,000 Japanese troops from the Sakamoto detachment were rushing toward Linyi along the Weitai Highway. Although the order from the division headquarters was very sudden and confusing, Major General Jun Sakamoto still strictly implemented the division headquarters order.
The seventeen permanent divisions of the Japanese army are quite strict in this regard. They have absolutely strict military orders and prohibitions.
Unfortunately, at certain times, these advantages turn into fatal weaknesses.
As Major General Jun Sakamoto expected, the Chinese army was in a hurry and could not organize a decent blockade. After the Japanese army broke through, it could not organize an effective pursuit. Instead, it could only watch the Sakamoto detachment march along the Weitai Highway.
Go, although the breakout order from the division and regiment headquarters was sudden, the timing of the breakout was still quite good.
At a certain moment, two red flares suddenly rose in the empty valley.
Immediately, overwhelming shouts rang out from the fields on both sides of the Weitai Highway, and then a series of explosions exploded from the highway. In the dazzling red light, thousands of Nationalist officers and soldiers were already coming from the road with bayonets in hand.
Rivers, field stems, woods, and grasses sprouted out of the rivers and ditches on both sides of the road.
The warning posts sent out by the Japanese army were overwhelmed by the rapid crowd of Chinese troops before they could resist.
In the armored command vehicle, Major General Jun Sakamoto, who was closing his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes. With just one glance, he knew that he had been ambushed by the Chinese army. He immediately gave a stern order: "Order, the mountain artillery regiment immediately builds artillery positions, and each
The infantry brigade immediately moved closer to the detachment headquarters, built a circular defensive position, and stood there waiting for reinforcements!"
Jun Sakamoto's reaction was very quick and his response was extremely sophisticated. The quality of the old Japanese soldiers in Sakamoto's detachment was also extremely good. Faced with the sudden ambush from the national army, they did not panic. Some Japanese soldiers quickly left the brigade.
The center was divided and flanked to defend the positions on both wings, while some Japanese soldiers quickly dug field fortifications along both sides of the road.
However, no matter how savage Sakamoto Shun was, and no matter how calm the old Japanese soldiers of Sakamoto detachment were, it was already too late!
From the moment the Sakamoto detachment broke through from Taierzhuang, their demise was doomed. Without the carefully constructed fortifications, the Japanese army's individual soldier quality advantage and artillery fire advantage would be impossible to exert.
In the face of an absolutely superior force of twice that, no matter how elite the old Japanese soldiers are, it is impossible for them to withstand it!
After all, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army are all good. Although they are not as good as the Japanese army in terms of equipment, they are not inferior to the Japanese in terms of determination and courage to fight to the death! Especially the dozen or so soldiers of the Central Army
It is an elite division, and the officers and soldiers receive a monthly salary of four and a half dollars, so their combat effectiveness is definitely impressive.
In less than a moment, more than a dozen Chinese army divisions involved in the ambush had crossed the two-kilometer cordon and rushed to the front of the Japanese army's Sakamoto detachment headquarters. At this time, the Sakamoto detachment's field fortifications had not yet been completed.
, their field artillery was overwhelmed by the crowd of national troops before they even had time to set it up.
…
Xuzhou, Fifth War Zone Commander's Department.
At six o'clock in the morning, the eastern sky has already revealed a hint of fish belly white.
Seeing that the sky was about to light up, but there was still no news coming back from Taierzhuang, General Li and Vice President Bai couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but after all, they had been leading soldiers for most of their lives, and all kinds of thrilling things happened.
I have experienced a lot of time, and at least on the surface I can still maintain my composure even when the mountain collapses.
At a certain moment, rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the war room.
"Great victory, great victory at Taierzhuang!" The theater cavalry correspondent almost stumbled into the war room, panting, "General seat, the Japanese Sakamoto detachment was completely wiped out by our army in the Wangchang River Valley. The Sakamoto detachment starts from the detachment leader Major General Sakamoto Shun.
More than four thousand people, not a single one slipped through the net!"
