93. Yellow plum

August 20, 1938, Hubei, Huanggang, Huangmei

"Yalu, let the warriors save bullets! Hold on, the general headquarters has gathered supplies and is about to reach the front line!" A Japanese major general said to the soldiers around him.

"Hi!"



The 6th Division of the 11th Army of the Japanese invaders, under the command of Shiro Inaba, attacked Taihu from Qianshan, Anhui. Fighting bloody battles all the way, they successively broke through the defense lines of the 31st, 68th, and 84th Army, and successively captured Taihu and Susong. On the 8th

On March 4, after fierce street fighting, Huangmei, the gateway to Guangji, was finally captured.

After losing Huangmei, Bai Chongxi, the acting commander of the Fifth Theater Command, immediately commanded the troops to counterattack. However, the Japanese army held on tightly and used a large amount of poison gas. The hard attack suffered heavy losses. Seeing that the strong attack failed, Bai Chongxi mobilized his troops to flank the Japanese army's rear. Li Pinxian's regiment regained Taihu Lake and infiltrated the Japanese army.

The mountain cut off the land supply line and land retreat of the Japanese 6th Division, putting Inaba in a difficult situation. Bai Chongxi seized the opportunity and commanded the confronting 28th Army, 84th Army and other troops to seize the opportunity to attack fiercely, intending to completely annihilate the Nanjing Massacre.

The 6th Division committed many crimes during the massacre. Although Bai Chongxi's layout this time was clever, he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. The 6th Division held on to the danger and at the same time used a large amount of poisonous gas to hold on until now.

.



"Commander, the Japanese defense is still very tenacious!"

Bai Chongxi's face was gloomy and he said, "Sun Tongxuan led the three divisions of the 3rd Army to regain Jiujiang. Is it possible that with so many of you now, you still can't recapture Huangmei?" Although Sun Tongxuan's 3rd Army also belongs to the Fifth War Zone, but now the Japanese are

The disadvantage is obvious. With so many troops in Jiangbei, they are unable to recapture Huangmei. This comparison is simply too bad.

"this……"

"Now the Japanese army is in urgent need of military supplies on the front line, but the Japanese army's rear will definitely transport supplies to the front line urgently. There are only a few days to recover Huangmei at all costs." Bai Chongxi said coldly, "Guard the land and protect the country.

at this time."

"yes!"



Konglong Town

A group of more than 20 people wearing strange clothes passed by quickly.

Today, the situation in the Wuhan Battle is tense, not only in China, but also in Japan. When the war starts, the people who will suffer the most are the people.

"Master, it's broad daylight, why are everyone in this town closed?" Suning asked.

"Because there's a war going on here!" Yang Dali rolled his eyes at Suning and said, "It was like this when the Japs first came to our house."

"Okay, let's not chat for now. The reaction of the people here shows that the war is not far away." Zhou Weiguo said calmly, "There are more than 40 miles ahead to Huangmei. Everyone is always ready. According to the news, Huangmei is now a Japanese army.

We are guarding, and the national army is attacking."

"Master, it's been several days, and I don't know how many cities the national army has recaptured."

Zhou Weiguo suddenly stopped, with a serious look on his face, and then said, "Hidden!"

Afterwards, the 27 people hid in the grass on the roadside, bending down.

A few minutes later, a group of Japanese troops appeared on the dirt road outside Konglong Town.

"Attack?" Gu Feiyan asked, frowning and looking at the Japanese troops in the middle of the road. There seemed to be a lot of them.

Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said, "Let's take a look first. This seems to be a soldier supply for the Japanese. It looks like there is a regiment."

"you mean?"

"The arrival of this group of Japanese soldiers is likely to directly change the battlefield situation." Zhou Weiguo said, "The advantage we finally gained for our troops may be ruined."

"It seems that the Japanese are also anxious." Lin Mingrun also frowned.

"We must be anxious. Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese have been invincible. Now, they have lost a large amount of supplies in Nanjing. As a result, they are disadvantaged in frontline operations and were almost counterattacked by our troops. Although Jiujiang is a small town, it can be

, Recovering is of great significance." Qiu Ao analyzed, "With the example of Jiujiang, other troops will go crazy to recover their positions, but under such a situation, except Jiujiang, no other place has been recovered. It can be seen that no other place has been recovered.

The Japanese have great fighting power and tenacious will to fight."

Zhou Weiguo looked at Qiu Ao, nodded, and felt happy for having kidnapped such a talent, and then said, "Old Yan, take the third team to take a detour to investigate where the battlefield is. The troops fighting are:

Which ones.”

"Okay." Gu Feiyan nodded and immediately led the third team out.

"Master, what are we doing?" Yang Dali asked, "Fighting the Japanese?"

"You are the only one who talks a lot!" Zhou Weiguo said, "Stop talking."



Huangmei, Japanese Army Headquarters

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, our reinforcements have arrived! They are now 20 miles away from us to the south." A Japanese communications soldier reported to Inaba Shiro.

Shiro Inaba was promoted to Army Lieutenant General in August 1937 and became the commander of the cavalry group. He succeeded Hisao Tani as the commander of the 6th Division. His two brigade commanders were Imamura Katsuharu and Ushijima Mitsuru. In 1938, he was incorporated into Okamura Ning.

The 11th Army participated in the Battle of Wuhan. It led its division to operate alone along the north bank of the Yangtze River. In June, it defeated Xu Yuanquan's Army and occupied Hefei. In August, it defeated four armies of Li Pinxian's Army and occupied Huangmei and Guangji. In September, it was defeated by the National Army in December.

The division captured the inner and outer perimeter of the division and defeated Li Yannian's army, occupied the Tianjia Town fortress, and opened the last door to Wuhan. It was called the Japanese division's first in combat effectiveness by Okamura Ningji. In April 1939, he participated in the Battle of Nanchang and served as a supporter.

In the direction of Wuning, they defeated the 2 armies of Wang Lingji Group of the Sichuan Army, Li Yutang of the 8th Army of the Hunan Army, and Peng Weiren of the 73rd Army. In September 1939, they participated in the first battle of Changsha. After a hard battle on the front of the Xinqiang River, they broke through the Bozhou Army with one division.

The Ling Defense Line forced the five armies of the Guan Linzheng Group to retreat. In December, he succeeded Bunzaburo Kawagishi as the commander of the Eastern Army and was on standby in October 1941. In December of the same year, he was incorporated into the reserve force. He died in 1948 at the age of 62.

The 6th Division was a Category A division of the old Japanese Imperial Army. It was one of the 17 standing divisions of the Japanese army before the outbreak of World War II. It was well-equipped and had a brutal and fierce fighting style. It was a Japanese army that participated in atrocities during the Nanjing Massacre.

One of the main troops.

"Yoshi, pass the order. The supporting troops will attack the Chinese army from behind, attack from the front and back, and repel the Chinese army." Inaba Shiro said with a smile, "This time, Bai Chongxi will suffer a big loss."

"Hi!"



On the Huangmei County position, the Chinese army is constantly launching charges, trying to seize the position and regain Huangmei.

Suddenly, artillery shells roared from behind the Chinese army.

The shells fell, kicking up soil and broken bodies.

"What's going on?" Many soldiers were confused. It wasn't until the shells fell at their feet that they realized they were Japanese shells. But why were there Japanese soldiers behind them?

"What's going on?" A national army colonel looked at the artillery shells flying behind him. When he saw that the artillery shells had taken away the lives of more than a dozen soldiers, he became angry and shouted, "Charge! Charge to the Japanese position!"

When you are surrounded by enemies from both sides, you must not be on both sides, otherwise the casualties will only be greater.

But when this Chinese colonel led his soldiers to attack, the soldiers on the left side of the position began to retreat!



"retreat!"

"retreat!"

Immediately, the soldiers retreated, and it seemed that they were in a rout. After all, they were attacked from the front and back, and were bombarded by artillery shells from the back, which made the attacking Chinese soldiers panic. After all, on the Huangmei County position in front of them,

The Japanese are not vegetarians either.

When soldiers continue to fall in front of you, the fear of death will slowly emerge. Even if there is no military order, in such a situation, someone will take the lead and start to retreat, and then there will be people who follow suit.

What's more, they now have military orders from their superiors, although they don't know who this superior is.

"No retreat! No retreat!" The colonel of the national army was stunned. This kind of retreat without order is a rout! What's more, now they are attacked from both sides! The casualties will be even greater!

"Commander! Retreat! The Japanese reinforcements are coming!" Seeing this, a lieutenant colonel pulled the colonel and walked back!



When Zhou Weiguo led the special forces to Huangmei cautiously, when he heard the sound of artillery shells, he knew that the Chinese army was going to be defeated. On the Sino-Japanese battlefield, Japanese artillery suppression has always been a major reason why the Chinese army was unable to defeat the Japanese army.

one.

Zhou Weiguo did not wait at the roadside for all the Japanese reinforcements to pass before he led the special forces forward. After all, if the Japanese had reinforcements, the situation on the front line would easily change. But the heavy burden of the special forces members caused their march

The speed cannot be compared with the lightly armed Japanese army.

When Zhou Weiguo arrived at Huangmei, he saw the national army all over the mountains and plains running desperately, while the Japanese army, only a few hundred people in pursuit.

The scene in front of him reminded him of the original owner's scene after the Battle of Songhu, when tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers were chased by more than 100 Japanese troops.

At this time, Gu Feiyan had also joined Zhou Weiguo. Although he took the third team one step ahead, when he arrived at the battlefield, the national army was already showing a tendency to collapse. Moreover, as soon as one person started to retreat, countless others began to retreat.

Follow the trend.

Zhou Weiguo clenched his fists tightly, and the mood he felt that day suddenly rushed into his heart, and anger filled his chest.
