Donghai County, Fangshan Town, 12th Division Headquarters
At this time, the headquarters of the Twelfth Division was in a bleak mood. One lieutenant general, three major generals, and several colonels were all in the headquarters.
At this time, these people lowered their heads and did not speak. The military uniforms they wore were also pitch black, even compared to those of the miners in the coal mines.
In the past half month, they have been fighting.
At first, they were fighting against Zhang Yichun's troops of the 48th Army of the Fifth Theater Zone, but then suddenly a troop appeared behind them and built a relatively large encirclement around them.
The Twelve Divisions of the Little Devils are an important force. From the division commander to the soldiers below, no one is afraid of them.
And their weapons and equipment were much better than those of other divisions. They immediately turned the muzzles of the two heavy artillery regiments and aimed them at the 133rd Division.
But before they had even fired a few shots, groups of dive bombers appeared in the sky.
With the assistance of their anti-aircraft artillery wing, they finally moved the artillery position. Although they lost some artillery, the loss was not significant.
This is the first confrontation between the Eighty-Eighth Group Army and the Twelfth Division, this elite force of little devils, and neither side has taken much advantage.
Immediately afterwards, as the war in Hefei progressed and street fighting began, the only place the air force could support was Donghai County.
Subsequently, planes continued to bomb the 12th Regiment all day long.
In the end, their anti-aircraft artillery regiment was the first to be destroyed, followed closely by the heavy artillery brigade which was difficult to move.
Then the armored division suddenly launched an attack on them.
When they were caught off guard, many of their troops were killed.
It was defeated step by step in this way. After nearly half a month of fighting, the 12th Division was finally captured by the 133rd Division and the Armored Division in the small area of ??Fangshan Town.
"How many warriors do we have left?"
Seitaro Uemura, the division commander of the 12th Division. Sitting here now, he doesn't look like a standing division commander at all.
In the past half month, he has suffered too much. Faced with huge casualty figures every day, as well as losses to other troops.
How many artillery pieces were lost by the heavy artillery regiment today, and how many artillery pieces were lost by the field artillery regiment tomorrow.
"There are more than 3,000 people! About the strength of a regiment!"
Major General Fumino Yasukawa, chief of staff of Uemura Seitaro, stood aside and said softly.
It is indeed an elite division. Even the chief of staff is a major general. Most of the chiefs of staff of other divisions are colonels.
"There are still more than 3,000 people? Order the warriors to burn the military flag!"
There is unwillingness and loneliness in Seitaro Uemura¡¯s voice.
His Twelfth Division was defeated so miserably that he did not expect the troops of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army to be so mobile.
He didn¡¯t believe it at all before. He had been in China not long ago. He never believed that the Chinese army was mobile.
It was because of carelessness that the 133rd Division took the advantage.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, no! If we burn the flag, our 14th Regiment will be gone!"
When a colonel heard that the military flag was going to be burned, he immediately said with a cry.
"Eight~Gah~ Even if the 14th regiment is gone, the empire can still form thousands of regiments to avenge us. Stand up and don't embarrass the imperial soldiers!"
"Ha~yi~"
?¡
"Xin Pu! After more than ten days, we have finally eaten away the hard nut of the Twelfth Division. Now there are only two to three thousand remnants of the little devil left in this town."
Liao Yaoxiang put down the telescope, looked at Sun Xinpu beside him and said with a smile.
"Yes! They do have only two or three thousand remnants left. But the combat effectiveness of these little devils is indeed high. This time our division actually lost more than five thousand people, which is not a small casualty. We killed the 114th Division before At that time, we only lost less than 2,000 soldiers. This time, we actually lost more than 5,000 soldiers. This is the number of people in five infantry battalions!"
Sun Xinpu smiled bitterly and said, the combat effectiveness of these standing divisions is indeed not comparable to those of ad hoc divisions.
"Those little devils are burning the military flag. It seems that the little devils have decided to fight to the death!"
Liao Yaoxiang picked up the telescope again and looked at the black smoke rising in the town. Then he looked at the little devils standing there. He knew what these little devils were doing. completeHe has experienced this situation many times. If he didn't know this, he could go home and farm.
"Order the troops to attack! After we take Donghai County, we have to return to Huainan as soon as possible to replenish troops and equipment. This time we have eaten two little Japanese divisions in a row, and our casualties are not small!"
The 133rd Division attacked, the final attack on the Japs.
At this time, the little devils had been surrounded for more than a week and their logistics department could not come in. Their ammunition was almost exhausted. There were still food supplies, but they were robbed from the local people.
But in this battle, if you don¡¯t have ammunition, you will die.
There is really nothing to say about the two to three thousand remaining Japanese soldiers. They were easily eaten by the 133rd Division
On the way from Huainan to Yangzhou.
There is a long convoy on the road, like a long snake with no end.
Needless to say, these are naturally Zhou Weiguo and the others who went south.
This time Zhou Weiguo almost emptied Huainan's troops.
His guard brigade and 152nd Division totaled more than 33,000 people. This was the last remaining reserve force of Zhou Weiguo, and they had all been mobilized.
Now Huainan only has 30,000 new recruits training in the new barracks.
Fortunately, the armored divisions are now on their way back, and Zhou Weiguo has ordered them to be transferred back.
And there is indeed no danger in Huainan now, so Zhou Weiguo is not worried.
"Commander, the 133rd Division sent a telegram. They have killed the 12th Division, but their own casualties are not small. More than 5,000 people were killed. Thousands more were injured."
Yang Jie and Zhou Weiguo were both sitting in an armored command vehicle. This armored command vehicle served as Zhou Weiguo's temporary headquarters.
"More than 5,000 casualties? This is not a small number! There are still thousands of people injured. It seems that within a month, the 133rd Division will not be able to participate in the battle.
¡°Let the 133rd Division return to Huainan immediately to replenish weapons and equipment, and let all the wounded be transported back to Huainan. Let the 133rd Division renovate in Huainan for a period of time, and then add them to his troops after the training of the new recruits in the new barracks is completed! "
Zhou Weiguo leaned on the backrest and said a little tiredly.
¡°Before, he also said that if possible, he would transfer the 133rd Division to fight south. But it seems impossible now!
The casualties of the 133rd Division were more than half.
"Chief Commander, what do you do with the 48th Army?"
Yang Jie put down the telegram and looked at Zhou Weiguo Road thoughtfully.
"The Forty-Eighth Army is not our department"
Zhou Weiguo suddenly understood when he was halfway through speaking.
"Give electricity to the 133rd Division and transport back the wounded of the 48th Army. Tell the 48th Army that in the spirit of humanitarianism, we will treat the anti-Japanese soldiers for free! Also ask Sun Xinpu how many people there are in the 48th Army!"
After Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, Yang Jie immediately laughed.
"Chief, it seems you are not prepared to let the wounded go!
"Haha! Why let it go? These wounded soldiers will become elite soldiers after they recover. If we want to expand the army faster in the next step and prevent the combat effectiveness of the army from declining so much, elite veterans are indispensable! ¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
