Chapter 411: Tired, destroy it! (Double monthly pass, please give me a monthly pass!)
“About 20 kilometers southwest of Songjiang City, a large number of Chinese troops were found marching in formation. After repeated confirmation, they should be the main force of the Chinese troops retreating from Songjiang.”
The telegram sent by the Japanese Navy almost sent away His Excellency Yanagawa Heisuke, who was ambitiously planning to wipe out the remaining Chinese army today.
idiot! Who swore to me yesterday that the main force of the Chinese army was 20 kilometers ahead? How come it only took 24 hours to tell me that the Chinese main force was in another direction.
Have the Chinese grown wings?
Yes, according to yesterday's reconnaissance and battlefield traces, the main force of the Chinese has definitely crossed the Suzhou River. Even if they want to do something unexpected and turn around and return across the river from another location, they will never be able to escape four or five times in one night. Ten kilometers to go.
An army march is not a marathon. Soldiers need to carry various equipment and supplies, and they also need to maintain formation, otherwise it will not be a retreat, but a collapse. How can we still reach the location reported by the reconnaissance plane as a whole?
Besides, the Chinese have already been running all day, how can they maintain sufficient physical strength to run for so long at night? That is absolutely impossible.
Of course, Yanagawa Heisuke was also the one who commanded an army of 100,000 troops. After calming down his heart that was extremely agitated by this unexpected telegram, he immediately called back to the Navy to confirm the accuracy of the reconnaissance plane's intelligence.
The navy's reply was firm: it was confirmed to be the main force of the Chinese army. Its marching column stretched for ten miles, and the size of the army could not be reached by tens of thousands of people.
As for Yanagawa Heisuke's request to send bombers for bombing, the naval fleet commander Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi, who was beaten to death yesterday, simply chose to ignore it.
Don't even think about it, what if the Chinese come back for another wave of ground and space cooperation? I am reporting the battlefield reconnaissance results to you for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor.
"No, we were fooled." However, Yanagawa Heisuke didn't bother to scold the navy and land troops, his face was ashen.
At this moment, he finally determined that he had been deceived by the Chinese because of his subjective consciousness.
There are of course Chinese people in front of him, and the number is not too small, but they are by no means the main force of the Chinese.
The main force of the Chinese was hiding somewhere in the wilderness during the day, perhaps in the hills he passed, waiting quietly for him to lead his troops to pass by. Then, when night falls, start running towards the southwest
From the beginning, they never wanted to go to Kunshan through Baihe Port. It was just their own wishful thinking.
Yes, Yanagawa Heisuke's brain is quite flexible and he has basically figured out the key.
Tang Dao's suggestion to the two commanders was not to take the Baihegang Bridge to Kunshan as before, but then follow the army to Suzhou-Wuxi-Changzhou-Zhenjiang.
History has proven that even if the Songjiang defenders dropped all their heavy equipment and threw off their pursuers and rushed all the way to the several defense lines that had high hopes from the top but were hollowed out by corruption, they would definitely be defeated.
It was a terrible rout, with hundreds of thousands of troops almost disappearing into thin air.
Moreover, the determination of the Tenth Army, which was severely damaged at this time, to pursue the enemy was far beyond that of the past time and space, and they would definitely pursue it to the death. If Songjiang's army wanted to change its fate, it had to change its path.
Go southwest to Jiashan in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
There is also a defense line there, which was originally built to resist enemies who would land on the beach. It is an important defense line to guard the rear flank of the metropolis Songhu.
But no one expected that this defense line would become another important life channel for evacuating the Songhu army.
If Tang Dao's memory is correct, there will be a Hunan Army infantry division waiting there, where they once resisted the detoured 18th Division for seven days and nights.
They created a miraculous battle no less than the Songjiang Blockade.
The 128th Division of the Hunan Army, which was mainly formed by students from Phoenix in southern Hunan Province, relied on defense fortifications that could withstand heavy artillery. In a fierce battle, thousands of Japanese invaders were killed, making the 128th Division known as the "Empire Double 13". The 18th Division advanced only 11 kilometers in seven days and nights.
At that time, the beautiful ancient city of Fenghuang had only ten thousand households. After the war, almost every house had white banners, and three thousand women became widows.
It is said that the quiet Tuojiang River, which originally ran along the city, had a faint whimpering sound every year.
Perhaps there are wives who miss their husbands, and there are also the reluctances of the officers and soldiers of the "Gan Army" who have returned!
If Songjiang's army joins them there, the total strength of the army can reach more than 30,000 people, relying on permanent defense fortifications that can withstand heavy artillery, there may be a chance to give the Tenth Army a loud slap in the face.
After knocking them out, the whole army can retreat calmly.
But this tactical concept is simple to say, but extremely difficult to implement. First of all, it must be able to deceive the Tenth Army, which is chasing closely in the sky and has reconnaissance planes as "eyes". Secondly, and more importantly, whether the infantry divisions stationed on that defense line have enough combat power, they have no idea how to corrupt the war situation. The two unconfident army lieutenant generals found it hard to believe that there was still an army that dared to stay there and fight alone at this moment.
Fortunately, Tang Dao said that those who stayed there were the Hunan troops, Xiang Yaozi who had already proven his bravery and fearlessness in Jinshan City.
That is the old unit that Qiang Sanwa, the only surviving Hunan Army communications corpsman, never forgets to return.
Therefore, the main force of the Songjiang Army hid in the bushes to avoid the Japanese Tenth Army, which had attracted all the attention of the advance group. When night fell, the entire army marched for seven or eight hours, covering thirty kilometers, completely After getting rid of the threat of the heavy artillery of the Tenth Army, they swaggered onto the main road.
Even if the Japanese reconnaissance plane arrived, they did not hide it.
Of course it is also to reduce the pressure on Tang Dao and the advance team, and clearly tell Yanagawa Heisuke that you are chasing the wrong person. If you have the ability, turn around and chase me!
Yanagawa Heisuke, who became more and more enlightened the more he thought about it, almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
But no matter how depressed he is, there are only two ways in front of Yanagawa Heisuke at this time. As the commander, he must make a choice.
Or, continue to chase this small force that was regarded as an abandoned son by the Chinese and devour it to temporarily relieve the hatred in his heart. However, the Chinese commander who gave him a slap in the face at the foot of Songjiang City and his subordinates can't. Some Chinese people fled.
Either the army turns around and once again uses the Imperial Army's invincible spirit to catch up with the Chinese and kill them.
Adults, don't do multiple-choice questions. We will take the lives of all Chinese who dare to deceive us.
Five minutes later, His Excellency Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, standing on the bank of the Suzhou River, finally made the same decision as before in time and space.
It's just that at that time, he wanted to attack Jinling in two groups and seal the feudal princes to achieve great things. At this time, the Japanese Army Lieutenant General obviously just wanted to kill the hateful Chinese first before talking about anything else.
"Order, the 36th Infantry Brigade of the 6th Division, together with the first group of the Division Artillery Regiment, continue to pursue and kill the Chinese in front. The remaining division-affiliated troops of the 6th Division, the 13th Infantry Brigade, the 114th Division, and Kunisaki The detachment followed me to Kunshan according to the original plan. The 18th Division and the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade turned southwest to pursue the main force of the retreating enemy in Songjiang. After defeating the enemy, there was no need to return. According to the previously formulated plan, they marched towards the Yixing and Guangde lines. " Yanagawa Heisuke's military order was quickly circulated to the entire army.
The stubborn cart of history miraculously returned to its original track after being kicked hard by Tang Dao.
Only this time, the unlucky attribute was transferred from the head of the 6th Division to the head of the 18th Division.
Because, what they faced this time was not only the 20,000 troops who had just experienced the **** battle of Songjiang, but also a "Gan Army" of 8,000 people who had carried them alone for seven days and nights in the past time and space.
The fierceness of the Miao family with big earrings hanging from their ears did not give them nightmares, because they did not even have much chance to dream.
The Miao people, who lacked weapons, preferred night raids to those using Tang knives, using knives made of bamboo.
The steel knife kills people with just one blow.
Killing someone with a bamboo knife is basically painful to death.
The 36th Infantry Brigade, which was ordered to pursue the advance regiment, was actually not much better.
8,000 vs. 3,000, with 12 mountain cannons. Logically speaking, it is a sure win.
But how can there be a sure win in this world?
Shuang Wang and four 2 were all stunned by the sight of airplanes flying with wings.
What's more, the advance group didn't run towards Kunshan at all. Under the command of Tang Dao, they began to circle in the wilderness.
Within two days, the advance group, which was relatively lightly equipped compared to the Japanese army, used the shoals to cross the Suzhou River three times under the leadership of the guide, and performed the "three crossings of Suzhou River".
The battle was not fought much, but the 36th Infantry Brigade almost died.
What's even more terrible is the endless special attacks from Tang Dao.
Tired, destroy it! Perhaps this was the sentiment of all the Japanese troops from the 36th Infantry Brigade down to Ushijima during those two days.
