When Shunroku Hata regained consciousness, he was already lying on a bed in the field hospital. Chang Yuong, deputy chief of staff of the Central China Front Army, and six or seven staff officers from the headquarters were nervously guarding his bed, but Chief of Staff Kawabe Shozo
I didn’t see it, and I don’t know if I’m staying in the headquarters to deal with the mess or doing something else.￥f,
What endgame should we deal with? Of course, we should deal with the endgame of Feicheng Battlefield.
Although until now, Shunroku Hata has not figured out how Xu Rui deceived Inaba Shiro and how he achieved the effect of concealing the truth, but it is an indisputable fact that the division headquarters of the Kumamoto Division has indeed been deceived.
The Dameishan Independent Regiment was overthrown, and even Inaba Shiro became a prisoner of the Independent Regiment.
This was also the second Imperial Army general to be captured by an independent group, the first being Chiaki Shigeto.
Rubbing the center of his eyebrows with his hands, which seemed to be about to explode, Shunroku Hata asked Changyong, "Changsang, how bad is the situation in Feicheng right now?"
Chang Yong paused and said: "Your Excellency, General, you are not so bad as usual."
Shunroku Hata frowned and said, "Let's get straight to the point. How bad is it?"
"Hai." Changyong paused again and said, "The division headquarters of the Kumamoto Division has been wiped out. Shiro Inaba, a loser, has also become a prisoner of war of the Chinese people. He was also annihilated together with the division headquarters of the Kumamoto Division.
There is a brigade of the 47th Infantry Regiment. In addition, the 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery still stationed outside the east gate of Feicheng has also been fiercely besieged by the Chinese Army. The two sides are still fighting fiercely, but the situation is very uncomfortable.
optimism."
"Nani?" Hata Shunroku immediately became anxious upon hearing this, and he turned over and sat up.
But as soon as he sat up, Shunroku Hata immediately felt dizzy. He felt violently dizzy, and then his vision went dark again and he fell back on the bed. Fortunately, he did not pass out on the spot this time.
Chang Yong rushed forward and said: "General, don't be excited. The doctor told you to stay in bed."
Shunroku Hata waved his hands feebly and said: "Chang-san, tell Kawabe-san that you must keep the 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery no matter what, and you must keep the heavy artillery brigade no matter what!"
Shunroku Hata was really anxious, because the Japanese Army only organized a total of six field heavy artillery brigades.
In the Japanese army world, these six field heavy artillery brigades can be called strategic-level troops. The loss of any one of them is a huge event. If the 5th field heavy artillery brigade is really lost in his hands, even if the base camp and the royal family are not
Holding him accountable would be a great shame for him. Such a result is something Shunroku Hata would not want to see in any case!
At that moment, Shunroku Hata said again: "Naga-san, immediately send a telegram to the main force of the Kumamoto Division and the Kikuchi Brigade heading north, asking them to turn around and return south immediately, and ask them to turn around and return south immediately, return south quickly!" After taking a breath, Hata took a breath.
Junliu then shouted, "The garrison stationed in Wuhu will also go north to Feicheng immediately for reinforcements. Reinforcement quickly!"
Changyong lowered his head and let Shunroku Hata roar.
Because in Changyong's opinion, the Commander is already in a state of chaos.
Immediately order the main force of the Kumamoto Division and the Kikuchi Brigade heading north to turn around and return south? What a joke, not to mention that the main force of the Kumamoto Division and the Kikuchi Brigade have already encountered the National Army near Changfeng, even though the two sides have not yet exchanged fire.
You asked them to immediately turn around and return south to Feicheng. Are you planning to let these two troops run to death?
Let the garrison stationed in Wuhu go north for reinforcements? That would be even worse!
In less than half an hour, Xu Rui comes back from the dead, and the news that the independent regiment has regained Feicheng will spread throughout the Chinese battlefield. By then, most of the National Army in the battlefields of western Zhejiang and southern Anhui will rush out in full force, as if they have been given blood.
Launching a tidal wave of attacks against various key points controlled by the Japanese army, especially the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army, is like a thorn in Wuhu's back! At this time, if you ask Wuhu's garrison to go north to reinforce Feicheng, are you not planning to take Wuhu?
?
The reality is cruel. For the Japanese army in Central China at this time, there is indeed not much that can be done.
The only thing that Kawabe Shozo and Nagayong could think of was to send out all the 3rd Flying Regiment under Tadashi Hega to provide air support to the trapped 5th Brigade of Independent Field Heavy Artillery as much as possible.
However, even the 3rd Flying Group had to wait until dawn before being able to dispatch.
If dispatched now, the fleet of the 3rd Flight Regiment might be able to fly to Wuhan in vain.
After all, there was no satellite navigation in this era, and aircraft could only rely on radar navigation when flying at night. However, the Japanese army did not build a radar station in Wanzhong, so even radar navigation was not possible. Therefore, aircraft could only fly during the day. So,
During this long night, the 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery had to face it alone.
The 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery needs to hold on for at least three days before reinforcements can arrive.
The newly formed 17th Division and the 22nd Division are being urgently transported to the Chinese battlefield by sea. They will arrive in Wuhu in about three days. Before these two divisions arrive, the Japanese army will not be able to send even a single soldier.
of reinforcements.
At that moment, Chang Yong said: "General, please take care of yourself. You have to go back to your humble duty."
However, Shunroku Hata was still worried, and kept urging Nagayong to tell Kawabe Shozo that he must keep the 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery no matter what. Nagayong said it, but he knew very well in his heart that the independent field battle
The 5th Brigade of Heavy Artillery is probably not saved. Although the 5th Brigade of Independent Heavy Artillery has more than 8,000 officers and soldiers, which is not a large number of troops, there are only two brigades of real combat infantry, less than 2,000, and the rest are all
It is a technical branch.
The fate of such a unit when faced with an independent regiment that looks like tigers and wolves can be imagined.
What Chang Yong is more worried about now is that these large-caliber heavy artillery equipped by the 5th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery must not fall into the hands of the independent regiment. Otherwise, in future wars, these large-caliber heavy artillery will definitely become
The nightmare of the Japanese army! With Xu Rui's consistent style, this is definitely a high probability event.
(Dividing line)
Chang Yong really guessed it right, and Xu Rui was really tempted.
Looking at the iron tower-like cannons that appeared from the firelight on the battlefield ahead, Xu Rui almost drooled from the corner of his mouth. Nimei, this is a heavy artillery brigade, a whole field heavy artillery brigade.
!According to the organization of the Japanese Army, a heavy artillery brigade has two heavy artillery regiments, and each heavy artillery regiment has four heavy artillery brigades. Each heavy artillery brigade is equipped with 8 to 12 large-caliber field heavy howitzers.
This is a real large-caliber field heavy howitzer. The smallest caliber is 120, basically 150, and there are even 270-caliber heavy mortars. They defended Feicheng a few days ago. Their independent regiment really had enough of these heavy artillery.
The trouble is, basically when a shell falls, a building collapses. If the shell directly hits the bunker, a platoon of people will be wiped out in the blink of an eye. This lethality is definitely not fake.
This is fat meat, this is a real piece of fat meat!
It is definitely not Xu Rui's character to not bite the meat until it reaches his mouth!
The battalion commanders He Guangming, Wan Zhongshan, and Xu Dekun were close to each other, and their personalities had been seriously assimilated by Xu Rui. When they saw this respectable heavy artillery, their eyes suddenly lit up, as if they had been hungry all winter.
When the bear saw the lonely lamb, his greed could flow from his eyes.
"Damn, there are so many cannons, so many big cannons!"
"Get rich, get rich, get rich now!"
"Captain, we have to make a deal this time. These big guns here are enough for you to create an artillery brigade. Later, you have to give me Aniu's cannon battery. No matter what, you have to create an artillery brigade for our battalion."
Company, donkey sun, we are the 1st battalion, the first-class main battalion of our independent regiment, how can we do without an artillery company, the name is not worthy of the reality."
"It's just you, you still want to make a scene? Look at your arrogance."
Seeing He Guangming and Wan Zhongshan bickering indiscriminately, Xu Rui didn't stop them. What he wanted was this momentum.
But Sun Changhe over there was frowning. Who said that as if these cannons were already in your possession? Please keep your eyes open. This is an entire heavy artillery brigade. In addition to the artillery, there are still
Those guarding the infantry team, didn't you see that the heroes of Feixi Eighteen Village suffered a big loss just now?
“You can’t be a hero just by talking about it, but if you have the ability, you really do it.”
Sun Changhe just frowned, but Granny Yinhua couldn't help but start sarcastic.
After the attack on Qipanzhai failed just now, the bandits from Niangniangzhai also attacked, but the result also ended in failure. Therefore, Granny Yinhua was very unhappy with the arrogance of the Independent Regiment. What the hell, your officers and soldiers can still go to heaven.
Is there a mountain that our heroes in Feixi can't conquer even if they die, but you can easily take it?
A smile immediately appeared on Xu Rui's face, which was a challenge to their independent group.
Well, it just so happens that we can use this opportunity to let the bandits in Feixi see the power of their independent group, lest they really think that they are the best in the world! These bandits may be able to fight against chaos, but they can fight in regular positions.
Zhan, Xu Rui really didn't underestimate them, these bandits were far behind.
At that moment, Xu Rui called several battalion commanders and the captains and deputy captains of the veteran commando team, Ding Li and Lei Peng, to pull out their teeth and kill the Kagoshima unit. In this battle, the veteran commando team suffered heavy casualties, and two hundred veterans died.
There are only more than eighty left, and even Luo Feng died in the battle, but the old foundation of this army is still there, and its spirit is still there.
Xu Rui's eyes swept across the faces of the four battalion commanders and said in a deep voice: "Carry out attacks from four directions at the same time. Remember, the four directions are the main attack, there are no feint attacks. Whoever breaks through the Japanese defense line first will be the leader."
To attack, I will move A Niu's machine gun battery to this camp, did you hear it clearly?"
"Listen clearly." The four battalion commanders responded loudly, and immediately separated and left.
Watching the figures of the four battalion commanders go away, Xu Rui said to Ding Li and Lei Peng: "Ali, Dapeng, let the veteran commando team get ready. The Japanese heavy artillery brigade in front of us is a tough guy. Just rely on them."
I'm afraid it can't be smashed, so I have to count on you veteran commandos at the critical moment."
