Despite the scolding, Norihide Abe reacted very quickly. He immediately mobilized the only two infantry brigades with relatively complete structures under his command to form the first line of defense on the periphery.
A complete organizational structure means a sound command system.
For an army, command and no command are two completely different concepts. With the desperate resistance of these two well-organized infantry brigades, the Japs finally stabilized the situation, but this was only temporary.
, and the officers and soldiers of the 35th Army all know that this situation will not last long.
Because the 35th Army held an overwhelming advantage.
And as time goes by, the advantage will become greater, but the Japanese are not without opportunities.
Abe Nobihide ordered Adachi 23 to seize the time and take advantage of the fact that the attack of the 35th Army has been temporarily resisted. Organize all the remaining troops who have lost effective command as soon as possible and reorganize them into several infantry brigades, and then wait until the time is right.
Then launch a counterattack against the Chinese troops on the periphery and turn the tide of the battle.
Unfortunately, the 35th Army cannot give the Japanese another chance to counterattack.
In fact, only seven of the nine remaining main battalions of the 35th Army were attacking from land at this time. The remaining two main battalions were the two main battalions that had failed in the previous counterattack at the North Gate.
The battalion quietly completed its assembly on the east bank of Wuliang Suhai. Wei Jingyun, deputy commander of the 301st Regiment and commander of the 1st Battalion, was giving pre-war training.
Wei Jingyun is another fierce general under Fu Zuoyi. He likes to think about everything and use his brain.
After receiving the order from Xu Rui to attack freely, Wei Jingyun immediately started thinking about it again, because according to the latest information provided by the Langya Brigade, the remnants of the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia stopped after retreating to Baijia Gedan.
After coming down and looking at the map again, Wei Jingyun found that the Bai family's Gedan was backed by Wuliang Suhai, which was convenient for defense.
Then, Wei Jingyun discovered that the terrain of Baijia Gedan was advantageous but also had disadvantages. The advantage was that if the Japanese camped here, they would not have to worry about being attacked from behind. The disadvantage was that once the Japanese invaded, they would not be attacked from behind.
If you really think so, it may lead to an irreparable disaster.
Why? Because Wuliangsuhai is not a natural moat!
Although the Wuliang Suhai water surface is wide and boundless, it is actually just a swamp formed by the Yellow River flooding the depression. Moreover, the water surface is not coherent. Under the seemingly unfathomable water surface, there are actually many passable "underwater paths".
"channels", local herdsmen often travel between the two sides of Haizi through these channels.
Although Wei Jingyun is not a local, he happens to know this secret.
Therefore, when Wei Jingyun learned that the Japanese were stationed in Baijia Gedan, Wei Jingyun immediately started thinking again.
After thinking about it, Wei Jingyun decided not to join in the fun. Instead of leading one battalion into the battle, he even detained another battalion. He was waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the Japanese on the other side of Haizi to put heavy troops into the perimeter, and then led them
The two battalions quietly crossed Haizi and attacked the Japanese from behind.
After calculating the time, Wei Jingyun felt that the time was almost there, so he ordered the two main battalions to be summoned.
"Brothers!" Wei Jingyun rode a war horse and slowly passed by the queue, roaring at the top of his lungs, "When we fought back before, the other battalions won, but our two battalions lost. You
Even if I don't feel blushing, I feel embarrassed, so this time, we have to earn back our face no matter what!"
The nine hundred officers and soldiers were silent, but their eyes began to become enthusiastic.
Wei Jingyun waved his hand again, and two battalions, with more than 900 officers and soldiers, under the guidance of a few local herdsmen, waded into Wuliangsuhai, crossed the vast water and rushed to the west bank of Haizi.
…
At the same time, the fighting on the west bank of Wuliangsuhai has entered a fever pitch.
Abe Norihide's command is still very powerful. The only two infantry brigades under the independent mixed first brigade that maintain intact organization can be said to be fighting tenaciously. But unfortunately, the Japanese are too tired.
The high-intensity fighting that lasted for nearly half a month had brought these little devils to the limit in terms of physical strength and energy.
The seven main battalions of the 35th Army that went into the attack did not have an advantage in terms of firepower, let alone strength, but their physical advantages were fully utilized. After half an hour of fierce fighting, the 35th Army became more courageous and aggressive as they fought.
, but the little devil on the opposite side gradually began to be unable to withstand it anymore, he was so tired!
After Norihide Abe found out, he quickly went to the front line in person.
Because the mission of Anda Twenty-Three has not been completed, thousands of remaining troops have not yet been sorted out.
The old Japanese's personal visit to the front line really inspired the Japanese's fighting spirit, and the defense line that was about to collapse was stabilized again.
However, the good times did not last long. Not long after the defense line was re-stabilized, sudden gunshots suddenly rang out from behind.
"Huh?" Hearing the sudden gunfire from behind, Norihide Abe was confused for a moment. Isn't there Wuliang Suhai behind them? How could the Chinese cross the sea? Do the Chinese have a navy? But the next moment
, Norihide Abe gave up such a ridiculous idea. This place is inland, how could there be a navy.
It must be the Langya Brigade, swimming over from Haizi, trying to carry out a beheading battle.
If this is the case, the Langya Brigade is destined to be disappointed, because he has been on guard against the Langya Brigade for a long time. Not only did he disguise the headquarters as the most ordinary barracks, he even changed the military uniform into a private soldier's uniform. If you don't look carefully,
No one would believe that he was the lieutenant general commander of the independent second brigade.
Therefore, even if gunfire rang out from the camp behind him, Abe Norihide was not panicked at all.
However, a few minutes later, the gunfire in the center of the camp behind him became more intense, and there were even gunfire. At this time, Norihide Abe realized that something was wrong. However, unfortunately, he realized that something was wrong only then, but it had already happened.
It was too late, and soon, a figure ran over in a panic.
The one who ran over in a panic was Anda Twenty-Three.
Speaking of which, Anda Twenty-Three was also a major general, but now, he seems to be a lost dog!
"Abe-kun, it's broken!" He ran in front of Abe Norihide in a panic. Adachi twenty-three said in panic, "At least one regiment of the China Army came over from Haizi and launched a fierce attack on the belly of the imperial army. The imperial army didn't do anything.
We are unprepared and have suffered heavy losses. We can no longer withstand it now, Abe-kun, otherwise we should retreat as soon as possible!"
Abe Kihide's eyes suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he almost fainted.
At this point, the Battle of Wuyuan can be brought to an end, because as this regiment of Chinese troops suddenly crossed the Wuliangsuhai Sea and attacked, the remnants of the Mongolian army could not withstand it anyway, because Abe was determined
The two Buzhen brigades that Xiu brought out from the North Gate battlefield were already exhausted, and the five thousand remnants that were hastily gathered had not yet had time to organize themselves, let alone establish a command system, or even promote and appoint grassroots officers.
It's not finished yet! Because in the previous battle, a large number of grassroots officers died in battle, and many grassroots officers fled during the rout. This resulted in a large shortage of grassroots officers, and it was necessary to establish an orderly command.
The system must have officers!
In other words, the remnants of the Mongolian army have no chance!
Thinking of this, Norihide Abe no longer hesitated and shouted: "Adachi-kun, order the temporary formation of the first brigade. The second brigade is cut off from behind. We must block the attack of the Chinese army no matter what. The first cavalry brigade will clear the way. The whole army will immediately
Break out to the north! Hurry, hurry up, hurry up..."
"Hai." Anda nodded heavily and turned around.
Not long after, the Japs gathered nearly two squadrons of cavalry and launched a desperate counterattack towards the north side of the battlefield. A battalion of the 35th Army, which was responsible for attacking from the north side of the battlefield, was caught off guard and was suddenly torn apart by the Japs.
Then, the Japanese trapped in Baijia Gedan surged out of the gap like a flood that had burst a dike.
Then, after crossing the gap, more than 5,000 Japanese remnants began to rush like wild boars. At the beginning, Abe Kihide tried his best to control the situation and control the rout as much as possible.
If we can form alternate cover and retreat in an orderly direction, we can preserve this effective force to the greatest extent.
But soon, Norihide Abe realized that this was in vain and that he had completely lost control.
The army was defeated like a mountain and the remnants of the army stationed in Mongolia were now completely defeated like a mountain.
Now even if the military god Nogi Nogi is resurrected and airborne on the Wuyuan battlefield, it will be of no use.
Several attempts failed, and several messengers were lost in vain. In the end, Norihide Abe had no choice but to give up and began to concentrate on escaping. Up to this point, the only thing he was thinking about was how to escape back to Baotou safely. If you think
The Japanese generals did not run away on the battlefield. That would be wrong. The Japanese generals would run away even if they were defeated on the battlefield.
Historically, in the first stage of the Battle of Xuzhou, the Segu detachment that suffered a defeat at Taierzhuang tried to escape, but failed in the end and was surrounded by the national army and was completely wiped out. This is the famous Taierzhuang victory! So it is said that
, after a Japanese general suffered a defeat on the battlefield, he would also flee, and he would also be defeated like a mountain.
What's more, Norihide Abe does not need to bear any responsibility for this failure.
The first person responsible for the defeat of the Gohara Battle was Kuroda Shigenori, the commander of the 26th Division, because Kuroda Shigenori was the commander-in-chief of the front line, and Abe Norihide was only executing Kuroda Shigenori's orders. Because of this, Abe Norihide
Xiu didn't have to take any responsibility for this failure, so he felt at ease when he ran away.
Not to mention, the old Japs Abe Kihide still has some talent for escaping. Along the way, the remaining Japanese soldiers were constantly caught up by the pursuers of the 35th Army and killed. However, the old Japs came to the gate of hell several times, but he was always killed by him.
He escaped, and one time he was surrounded by two Chinese soldiers, but in the end he actually completed the counterattack.
At midnight, the old Japanese finally got rid of his pursuers.
