A sound of cursing and several sounds of objects being thrown came from a tent.
Douhashi Yongyi stared fiercely at Colonel Tsuneoka Xiaofenggo, the captain of the 1st Taiwan Infantry Regiment in front of him, his eyes seemed to spit out fire.
"There were more than 3,800 soldiers in a whole regiment, but only less than 500 escaped. The rest were killed by Chinese planes without firing a single shot. How did you become the commander of the regiment?
?Did you feed the dogs all the things you had at Lu University?"
Colonel Heng Gang Xiao Wenwu lowered his head and said nothing. This time the Taiwan First Infantry Regiment was almost destroyed by the bomb. As the commander of the regiment, he indeed had an unshirkable responsibility, but he also believed that even if the situation at that time was replaced by
Amaterasu has nothing to do with it, because he is only an infantryman and not an air force.
Seeing that Tsuneoka Xiaofumi didn't say a word but didn't admit his mistake, Douhashi Yuuichi became even more angry, "What, do you think what I said was wrong? If it weren't for the fact that you fought so hard to get back the couplet,
For the sake of the team flag, I would have had you caesarean long ago!"
Henggang Xiaowenwu protested: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, under the circumstances at that time, the warriors of our regiment had no way to face the bombing of China aircraft. I called for aircraft reinforcements as soon as possible.
But half an hour has passed. Where is the plane? Where is our plane? Facing the overwhelming Chinese fighter planes, our soldiers have no choice but to dodge. Is it possible that I want my soldiers to shoot collectively in the air with Type 38 rifles?
?”
Tsuchibashi Yuuichi fell silent. What Colonel Tsuneoka Xiaofumigo said was the truth. Faced with the bombing by planes, the infantry really had no good way to do it.
After a while, Douhashi Yuichi said: "Even if you can't deal with the planes in the sky, you can always command the headquarters to evacuate. Why are your soldiers losing so much? A whole regiment of soldiers, now
There is less than one brigade left, how do you want me to explain it to the commander?"
Henggang Xiaowenwu smiled bitterly and said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, because the China planes arrived so suddenly, when I received the news, the entire regiment had been blown apart by them, and the order could not be conveyed at all."
"well……"
Looking at the dirt-covered and embarrassed Heng Gang Xiaowengo in front of him, Dohashi Yugi sighed slightly. He had also heard that there were dozens of Chinese planes arriving, flying wildly on the miles-long road.
Indiscriminate bombing. Cars are not airplanes. If you are blocked on the road, you have no way to escape. You can only wait for the bomb to come. However, this kind of thing has always been a treatment that only Chinese troops can enjoy. Today, Taiwan is the first
The infantry regiment also enjoyed it. When a bomb dropped, before Henggang Xiaowenwu had time to react, the entire regiment was paralyzed.
After losing his temper, Yuuichi Dohashi had no other options. He couldn't just let one of his captains have a caesarean section just to lose this battle.
However, there is now a bigger problem in front of Dohashi Yongyi, that is, the First Taiwan Infantry Regiment has been severely damaged. Logically speaking, he should let the Taiwan Second Regiment continue to advance, but the 48th Division was originally
One regiment was left behind in Yangchun. Now the only troops he has are the 2nd Taiwan Infantry Regiment and the 48th Regiment of Minsuo, a combat force of more than 7,000 people. Can this small number of troops be able to capture Maoming?
?
Yuuichi Dohashi had the intention to send a telegram to Lieutenant General Ando Toshiyoshi to request for withdrawal and reorganization, but when he thought of Ando Toshiyoshi's cold eyes, he shuddered.
"Forget it, leave him alone!" Dohashi Yongyi gritted his teeth and shouted to a staff officer next to him: "Immediately send a report to the headquarters to report the news that the 1st Wing was bombed by the China Air Force and request
The headquarters immediately dispatched aircraft to provide support."
"Hai!"
After sending the telegram, Dohashi Yongyi sent the disastrous Taiwan Infantry First Regiment back to Yangchun for rest, and sent the 48th Search Regiment to take over the First Regiment and continue to search for Maoming, while he led
The Second Regiment followed closely behind. Douhashi Yuuichi was determined this time to fight the 300th Division.
As Dohashi Yuuichi continued on the road, news about the 48th Division was also reported back to the division headquarters by the reconnaissance team of the 300th Division lurking near him.
When the news reached the headquarters of the 300th Division, Su Rui smiled and said to Liang Zhi: "Ah... It seems that Doqiao Yongyi is used to being arrogant and wants to come and have a fight with us. Well, let's help them."
, ordered Li Yifeng to intercept the Japanese vanguard troops according to the predetermined plan, and also told Lin Shiqian to stay calm and wait until all the 48th Division entered the ambush circle before putting his pockets in. Since Tuqiao Yongyi
If he wants to come to Maoming so much, then he might as well not leave!"
Just when Suri was about to shut down the 48th Division, which had come from afar, the telegram sent by Yuuichi Dohashi also flew to the desk of Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, the commander of the 21st Army in Guangzhou.
"Nani? A wing of the 48th Division was attacked by the China Air Force and suffered heavy losses. Now he is continuing to advance towards Maoming and is requesting the headquarters to send the air force for cover?"
At a time when good news was spreading frequently on the front line, Ando Rikichi suddenly received such a telegram, which made him surprised and thought of some legends circulating among the Japanese army.
In fact, some things about the 300 Division and Suri are no secret among the top brass of the Japanese army. After all, there are many troops who have fought against the 300 Division. The fifth, sixth, and tenth divisions of the empire are all there.
Suri's hands were deflated, and the former commander of the 10th Division, Isotani Rensuke, was ordered to commit suicide with a knife for this reason. He became the first general in Japan since the Meiji Restoration to be ordered to have his belly disemboweled by the emperor because of a defeat.
This was unique in the history of the Japanese army. When he thought of the troops that were destroyed at the hands of the 300 Division, Ando Rikichi felt his heart skip a beat, and the hand holding the telegram could not help but tremble slightly.
"How about letting the 48th Division withdraw and wait for the 5th and 38th Divisions to reunite before attacking Maoming?"
This idea was rejected by Ando Rikichi as soon as it sounded in his mind. Now the Fifth and Thirty-eighth Divisions are encircling and suppressing the remaining national army troops in Jiangmen and Enping respectively in order to completely occupy the area and completely vacate it in a short time.
Don't take action. It should be noted that there are still many remaining national army troops scattered in Jiangmen and Enping areas. If they are not wiped out in a short time, it will be difficult to wipe them out after they have recovered their breath.
Rikichi Ando stood up, walked around the office a few times with his hands behind his back, and then walked out of the office and went to the war room next door. He happened to see the chief of staff, Major General Tanaka Kuichi, directing a group of staff officers to mark signs on the sand table.
"Tanaka-kun, come here for a moment."
Ando Rikichi reached out to summon Tanaka Kuichi, and the two entered the office together. Ando Rikichi handed the telegram in his hand to Tanaka Kuichi.
Tanaka Jiuichi's face changed slightly after reading the message, "Your Excellency, Commander, is this 300th Division really so powerful? One of Dohashi-kun's regiments was destroyed by bombing on the road. How is this possible?"
Ando Rikichi's expression was very serious: "It seems that the previous rumors are true. The 300th Division really has a powerful flying force. Otherwise, a regiment of Yuuichi Dohashi would not be able to fly in just half an hour."
We have lost more than half, and now it seems that we have been so carried away by the victories we have won during this period that we have even forgotten that there is such a tiger as the 300 Division in Maoming."
Tanaka Jiuichi took a deep breath and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, what are you going to do now?"
A trace of dejection appeared on Ando Rikichi's face, "I don't know either. Logically speaking, the safest way now is to have the 48th Division stop advancing or simply retreat to Yangchun, and wait for the 5th and 38th Divisions."
After a certain unit in the division has completed its mission, let them move forward together. In this way, no matter how powerful the 300 divisions are, they will not be able to withstand the attack of our army. But the problem now is that His Majesty the Emperor does not give much time. If it is before New Year's Day
We are still unable to fulfill the important task entrusted to us by His Majesty the Emperor, I am afraid..."
Ando Rikichi did not say any more, but the meaning was clear to Tanaka Kuichi. That is, the emperor was already very dissatisfied with the 21st Army's delay in cooperating with the 11th Army to capture Nanchang.
Army, I am afraid that not only Ando Toshiyoshi, but also the Chief of Staff Tanaka Kuichi is involved, and the entire top management of the 21st Army may experience a major turmoil.
Thinking of this, Tanaka Jiuichi's expression turned ugly, and he pursed his thin lips and said, "Since we have no choice, we have no choice but to order the 48th Division to continue the attack."
"Yes!" Ando Rikichi nodded: "You immediately telegraph Dohashi Yuuichi in our name, I will send the 13th Flying Group to provide him with air support, and let him not be afraid of losses, as long as he can capture Maoming
, even if his division is exhausted, I will give priority to replenishing him, so that he must capture Maoming within the specified time!"
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
Tanaka Jiuichi stood up and hurriedly walked to the telegraph department on the side...
Just when Tanaka Jiuichi sent out the telegram, the 48th Search Regiment, acting as the vanguard of the 48th Division, also ran into the 657th Regiment of the 399th Brigade, which was tasked with blocking the attack.
The definition of the term search wing in the Japanese army is relatively vague. In Japanese division-level units, the search wing can be a cavalry unit or an armored unit, but they have roughly the same task, which is to search for large units.
To open a road, most of their equipment has the main purpose of maximizing speed, most of them are cavalry, and there are basically few heavy equipment.
But the search wing of the 48th Division is a little different. Since they are the only two division-level units in Japan with the ability to land, their search wing is equipped with the Type 95 with fast travel capabilities and attack capabilities.
Light tanks are relatively rare among the Japanese army.
