On the road from Yangzhou to Yizheng, the Chongteng detachment was hastily withdrawing.
At this time, both the military appearance and the momentum of the Shigeto detachment are no longer comparable to what they were when they arrived. Although the news of Tashiro Regiment's Tamashii has been tightly blocked, people with a little bit of brains can easily guess the whole story. If
If the Tashiro Regiment had not been attacked by the Chinese Army, how could the Shigeto detachment have arrived for reinforcements in the middle of the night?
But now, the Shigeto detachment retreated in a hurry without even seeing the shadow of the Tashiro unit.
What does this mean? This can only mean that something has happened to the Tashiro United Team, and it is even possible that all of them have been shattered!
Even an elite field unit like the Tashiro Regiment was collectively shattered. How many troops should the Chinese Army besieging them have? How powerful should it be? If this group of Chinese Army catches up, the Chongfu detachment will be outnumbered by both food and ammunition.
Jue, how can we fight this battle? Soon, an atmosphere of panic spread throughout the entire detachment.
If it were replaced by the most elite field division in the Japanese army's battle sequence, the mood of the troops would not be affected by external factors. To put it bluntly, unless there was a major and earth-shattering change such as the fall of Tokyo and the death of the emperor in battle, the Japanese army's field battles would not be affected.
The division will never lose its will to fight. Even if only the bayonet is left, they will fight to the end!
Halfway through, a huge convoy suddenly appeared on the road behind the Chongteng detachment!
At least fifty trucks have passed through the dense woods behind them and are driving in along the highway. There are also many infantrymen running faintly on both sides to follow. Estimating the distance, this huge truck
The convoy was only seven or eight miles away from the rearguard of the Chongteng detachment.
Immediately, the entire Chongteng detachment began to commotion.
Now, even the most idiotic soldier knows that the one chasing after him will definitely not be the Tashiro Regiment, nor any other Imperial Army unit, but only the China Army!
"Chinese!"
"The Chinese are catching up?"
"These damn Chinese people, they come so fast!"
The originally orderly marching column of the Shigeto detachment immediately broke into commotion. No matter how hard the military police suppressed it, it could never restore the previous order. By the time Shigeto Chiaki stepped off the armored vehicle, the entire detachment's marching column was already in extreme chaos.
The 4th Infantry Battalion at the end had already rushed up and was squeezed together with the 1st Battalion in the middle.
"Baga Yalu." Shigeto Chiaki suddenly turned livid with anger and roared, "Die, die!"
Shigeto Chiaki gave an order, and the military police directly under the jurisdiction rushed towards the Taiwanese soldiers with bayonets in hand. These military policemen were all from Japan. They would not be merciful to the Taiwanese who had just surrendered. In an instant, dozens of Taiwanese soldiers
The defeated soldiers had already been knocked to the ground by the gendarmerie.
This move really worked, and those Taiwanese defeated troops did not dare to push forward anymore.
Shigeto Chiaki suddenly drew out his saber and roared: "Stop the attack, build a defense line on the spot and prepare to stop the attack!"
Shigeto Chiaki will be sent to Taiwan by the Japanese Army General Staff to serve as the Major General Brigade Commander of the garrison brigade. This shows that his abilities are quite limited, but no matter how stupid he is, he knows that he must not retreat at this time. If he continues to retreat,
If so, this group of Taiwanese natives may collapse immediately. Only by blocking on the spot can the situation be reversed.
There is still at most one hour before dawn. As long as we survive this most difficult period and wait until the bomber group from the Air Force directly under the Front Army arrives, the situation will immediately change.
However, it was impossible for Yue Weihan to give him such an opportunity again.
Just when a convoy of more than 50 trucks passed through the woods and appeared in the sight of the Japanese army, two sharp knife companies led by Yue Weihan and Liu Yi had already detoured back to the front of the Chongteng detachment from both sides. Cao Xinglong's 1st Battalion and Chi Chengfeng's 2nd Battalion has also mobilized two wings of Chongteng Detachment.
Most of the other battalions had already approached within five miles of the Chongteng detachment under the cover of night. However, after the long and urgent march, the organization of each battalion and company had been disrupted. Fortunately, Yue Weihan had already done this before setting off. Mobilize, don't be afraid of running around and disrupting the organization. If there is chaos, fight randomly. Each battalion and company will fight each other. Let's finish the fight!
As for the huge convoy traveling on the road behind, it was actually just an empty frame. In addition to the intercepted baggage, it also carried the regiment's artillery battalion and heavy machine gun company.
Here, Yue Weihan imitated General Lin's classic tactics of chasing and annihilating Liao Yaoxiang's Ninth Corps during the Battle of Liaoshen. This tactic boils down to eight words: fight indiscriminately and finish the fight!
Shigeto Chiaki finally stopped the riot. He had just ordered a defense line to be built on the spot to block the pursuers. Suddenly, intensive gunfire rang out from both sides of the road and behind it. What was even more incredible was that traces of the Chinese Army actually appeared in the front. The detachment's The vanguard troops also seemed to be at war with the China Army.
"Baga!" Shigeto Chiaki said in shock, "Where did the Shina people come from?"
The chief of staff of the detachment, Miyamoto Hikoichi, was quite discerning and said angrily: "General, we have been fooled. The Chinese convoy on the road behind us is just an illusion to confuse us. In fact, the Chinese army has already secretly moved to our front and two wings. We have already Surrounded!"
"Order!" Shigeto Chiaki roared at the top of his lungs, "Each regiment immediately shrinks to the detachment headquarters!"
"General, it's too late." Miyamoto Hiko shook his head and said sadly, "The troops are already in chaos."
Chiaki Shigeto looked around anxiously, and sure enough he saw that the entire detachment had once again become a mess. Due to the congestion on the road, many infantrymen took off the road and fled in all directions. At this point, Chiaki Shigeto also knew that it was impossible to gather the troops again. Now the only way The only option is to break out separately!
"Order, all departments should break out of the encirclement and assemble at Yizheng after dawn!"
After saying that, Chiaki Shigeto bent down and got into the armored vehicle. Before Chief of Staff Miyamotohiko got on the vehicle, he angrily yelled at the driver: "Open the way, open the way!"
…………
7 am.
Six transport aircraft and four bombers from the Japanese Air Force's Central China Front flew over Yangzhou on time under the guidance of two combat reconnaissance aircraft.
As early as yesterday evening, the Central China Front Command of the Japanese Army had received a telegram requesting airdrop of ammunition from the 13th Division and Chongteng Detachment. At midnight yesterday, more than ten tons of ammunition and six transport aircraft were ready. Just after six in the morning, the Eastern Sky As soon as the white fish belly was exposed, six transport planes took off, loaded with more than ten tons of ammunition.
Soon, the Japanese reconnaissance plane responsible for guiding discovered the Chongteng detachment on the road.
However, after the Japanese reconnaissance plane lowered its flying altitude, the pilot was immediately dumbfounded.
Because the Chongteng detachment has been completely mixed up with the Chinese army. The two armies are fighting each other while retreating. There are people everywhere and exchanges of fire. The whole scene has become a complete mess. Under such circumstances, let alone
