Chapter five hundred and thirty eight emergency military situation
In Yang Ling's memory, he remembers that the Japanese 106th Division was supposed to have withdrawn to Shahe Town to replenish and standby after being badly injured on the Nanxun Line. Finally, it sneaked through the gap in the Chinese army's defense line and sneaked into the Wanjialing area and was almost wiped out.
But now, the cavalry troops of the Japanese 106th Division were suddenly discovered in the east of Ruichang County, which gave Yang Ling a bad feeling. I was afraid that their main force was also approaching.
Could it be that the butterfly effect was caused by his own little butterfly accidentally flicking its wings? Yang Ling was now not sure whether it was his own memory bias or whether it really caused the butterfly effect.
In any case, when the battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Maruyama Brigade was still coming to an end, the sudden appearance of the 106th Division was definitely not a good thing.
If they couldn't take countermeasures in time, I'm afraid the victory they just won would be in vain. This was something Yang Ling didn't want to see, so he had to report this urgent military information quickly.
In fact, the 106th Division was indeed on standby in Shahe Town. Their attack on the Nanxun Line encountered a tenacious blockage by the Chinese army. In just one or two months, they were unable to make any progress and suffered more than 8,000 losses.
You must know that these are more than 8,000 well-trained soldiers, not more than 8,000 cats and dogs. Faced with such huge casualties, the entire 106th Division was seriously injured and lost the ability to continue the attack.
Although the 106th Division is a special division, the commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Neiji, was still quite unhappy when the battle ended like this. However, given that they had lost the ability to continuously attack, they had no choice but to retreat.
Repair.
After the 106th Division, which suffered heavy losses on the Nanxun Line, received the order to be reorganized, the whole division finally breathed a sigh of relief. They no longer had to brave the hail of bullets and fight with the Chinese army every day.
The tenacity of the Chinese army has made them fearful. After they retreated to Shahe Town, they relaxed and received additional troops and ammunition. Although the rest of the place was under fire, they could take a breather after resting.
But their good days did not last long. The Maruyama Brigade fighting in the direction of Minshan sent telegrams asking for help one after another to the 11th Army Headquarters.
Although Commander Okamura Neiji currently has a large number of troops in his hands, they are currently fighting the Chinese army on various battlefields and cannot be mobilized for a while.
As a last resort, power was sent to the resting 106th Division to move closer to Ruichang County, on the one hand to support the Maruyama Brigade, and on the other hand to see if they could take the opportunity to open up the situation.
The main force of Junroku Matsuura's 106th Division had rested for the past few days and finally regained some energy. After receiving the order, they rushed towards Ruichang without stopping.
However, before they arrived, the Maruyama Brigade was beaten to pieces by the 74th Army in the mountainous area near Ruichang County. Even the brigade leader, Masao Maruyama, was almost captured alive.
Matsuura Junrokuro was hit hard on the Nanxun Line, his head was broken and bleeding, and he was furious. Here he saw the defeated soldiers of the Maruyama Brigade who had fled back, and the evil fire in his heart became even stronger.
If the emotional tiger doesn't show its power, do you think I'm a sick cat? So an angry Matsuura Junrokuro ordered the entire division to press forward and try to eat the 74th Army in one bite.
Yang Ling and the others ran all the way towards Ruichang City. Along the way, they encountered brother troops who were still pulling up nets to search for remaining Japanese enemies. They also asked them to quickly gather back and build up to deal with the new enemy situation.
"The Japanese 106th Division is coming?" The brothers who had just won the battle along the way looked at each other in shock after receiving the notification from Yang Ling and others, unsure of the authenticity of the news.
"I don't think they need to lie to us. Judging from the way they are in a hurry, I'm afraid what they say is true. The 106th Division is really approaching."
"That's a division."
Thinking that a full division was pressing down on them, the joy on the faces of the brothers who had just won the battle was wiped away, and instead they were enveloped in a layer of gloom.
Their 74th Army can be considered the main force of the Central Army. Both the quality of its soldiers and their weapons and equipment are much better than those of the provincial armies.
Even so, they and the Japs' Maruyama Brigade were able to fight evenly in Minshan. If Yang Ling and the others hadn't stolen the Japs' retreat, the battle might still have been fought.
Now they were exhausted, and before they had time to rest and replenish their ammunition, the Japanese came over with a division, which was stronger than the Maruyama Brigade. This battle was a fart, so it was only right to run away quickly.
Although most of the brothers are illiterate, the comparison of strength between the two sides is something that a discerning person can see, and they are not stupid enough to think that they can resist the 106th Division.
"Okay, hurry up and notify the nearby brothers, let's retreat quickly!"
The officer no longer has the time to sort out and search for the remaining Japanese soldiers who are hiding, so it is important to gather the troops quickly.
The news of the arrival of the Japanese 106th Division was spread from one to ten, causing the troops searching everywhere to fall into an inexplicable panic. They all turned around and retreated towards Ruichang, and there was a tremor for a while.
Yang Ling and the others had good intentions and told the friendly troops they met along the way to gather them quickly to prevent unexpected events, but they did not realize it and did bad things with good intentions, causing inexplicable panic.
Of course, they didn't know they had arrived. They had already hurried into the chaotic Ruichang County, preparing to report to the commander about the enemy's situation.
"Brother Yang, this way,"
Yang Ling and the others had just entered the city and hadn't walked far when they met the regiment leader Zhang Handuo. He was taking a special agent company and logistics personnel directly under the regiment to cook and rest in a street. When he saw Yang Ling and the others hurried by, he hurriedly waved hello.
They had not seen each other for several days since they separated in Minshan. Now seeing the great hero Yang Ling, Zhang Handuo seemed very happy.
After all, Yang Ling was the deputy commander of their 301st Regiment. He had accomplished such a great feat this time and completely crippled the Japanese 6th Brigade, which made them look bad.
"Hey, Brother Yang, you did a great job this time!" Zhang Handuo happily punched Yang Ling on the chest and said with a hearty smile.
"Hiss!" Zhang Handuo's punch made Yang Ling gasp in pain. It was a wound.
Seeing the painful expression on Yang Ling's face, Zhang Handuo also realized that he had used too much force and asked with concern: "Brother Yang, are you injured?"
Yang Ling waved his hand hurriedly: "It was just a cut by the shrapnel. It's not a problem."
"There is a medical station in front of you. Let's go and get treated. It won't be good if you get infected." Zhang Handuo was very enthusiastic.
Now that Yang Ling and the others have fought such a beautiful battle, the 301st regiment has gained more face in front of friendly forces. It can be said that Yang Ling and the others have become the honorary benchmark of their regiment. If the benchmark is injured, it will be fine.
Yang Ling was anxious to find his superior to report the emergency military situation. How could he think of going to the medical station to treat the wound? "The wound will be taken care of later. They are there at the brigade. I have urgent military situation to report."
"What kind of emergency military situation is so urgent?" The battle was coming to an end. Seeing Yang Ling's serious expression, Zhang Handuo was also full of doubts.
Yang Ling said in a deep voice: "The Japanese 106th Division is approaching. We just exchanged fire with their cavalry outside the city."
Zhang Handuo is also a calm and dignified regimental commander. He was stunned for a moment after hearing Yang Ling's words, and then realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Really the 106th Division? You read that right?"
"I asked Wang Dongming to see the Japanese ID, and he is indeed from the 106th Division." Yang Ling answered decisively.
Zhang Handuo knew that Yang Ling never told lies. Since he said so, the 80% success rate is true. Now that the troops have dispersed and the Japanese 106th Division has come over, the consequences are unimaginable...
"The master's seat is in the courtyard in front. I will take you there." Zhang Handuo's heart was in his throat and he hurriedly led the way.
