Chapter 159: Joint Attack (Please watch the new book)
When the main force of the Japanese army attacked the front line of Yanshan, the Xiaozhuang position north of Zijin Mountain also ushered in the first round of Japanese attack!
Like the Yanshan position, the Japanese troops in front of the Xiaozhuang position were also the elite of the Central China Front, namely the 13th Division and the 16th Division of the Class A Division.
Originally, these two divisions thought that the Chinese defenders had completely collapsed after conquering Purple Mountain. However, when they pursued Xiaozhuang, they were blocked by the Independent Brigade.
In agreement with Takeda Shinichi, when the commander of the 13th Division, Ogisu Tatehei, and the commander of the 16th Division, Nakajima Imago, learned that the defenders on the opposite side were affiliated with the 67th Army Li Guoyao, they were overjoyed and immediately ordered their troops to invest. Fighting, trying to defeat the Chinese defenders in front of them in one fell swoop and capture Li Guoyao alive.
"However, the ideal is full, but the reality is skinny. Although the Japanese army invested a large amount of troops, they were beaten by the defenders in Xiaozhuang and suffered heavy losses.
Turning back to the Xiaguan front line, with the independent brigade fighting desperately from behind, the situation at Xiaguan Ferry was pretty good. By 12 noon, the last batch of ordinary people had finally evacuated to the other side of the river.
When all the people retreated, the Nanjing defenders who had arrived at Xiaguan began to board boats to cross the river!
But at this moment, the Japanese aviation force arrived on the battlefield and launched a frantic bombing of the Chinese army at the Xiaguan Pier!
In desperation, these troops withdrawn from Nanjing could only brave the enemy's crazy bombing to cross the river!
Fortunately, the boats used by the Chinese army to cross the river are all small fishing boats. Although they don't carry many people, they are relatively flexible and are not easy to be hit. The casualties are still within an acceptable range.
By three o'clock in the afternoon, the Yanshan position finally collapsed, and the defenders had to withdraw to the second-line position to continue fighting!
At nine o'clock in the evening, the second-line positions were also razed to the ground by the Japanese army, and the defenders had to withdraw to the third line of defense.
At four o'clock in the morning the next day, all five peripheral defense lines were lost. The 12 regiments deployed by the defenders on the first-line positions were completely lost, and they had to withdraw to positions outside Xiaguan to continue blocking the attack.
At this time, on the Xiaguan Pier, in addition to Li Guoyao's independent brigade, there were still nearly 30,000 people from the four divisions of the National Army who had not crossed the river. In addition, there were more than 3,000 wounded people who had been withdrawn from the front by the independent brigade.
The four divisions of the Japanese army successively conquered the five lines of defense of the defenders along the way, and finally completed the rendezvous outside Xiaguan Pier before 6 a.m. As long as these lines of defense outside Xiaguan were broken, the tens of thousands of Chinese people on the river bank could be defeated. The army drove down the Yangtze River.
However, at this time, the various division commanders of the Japanese army were in a very depressed mood. Although they had achieved great results in this day and night of fighting, the number of corpses abandoned by the Chinese defenders on the battlefield alone exceeded 15,000, but The losses of their various divisions were also extremely shocking.
Especially the Japanese Sixth Division and the Ninth Division of the Yanshan Defense Line. The two divisions lost more soldiers in one day and one night than the two infantry regiments, and the absolute losses exceeded 60%.
You must know that one field regiment of the Japanese army has more than 3,780 people, and two regiments have 7,200 people. In other words, the Japanese army lost more than 7,000 soldiers in the direction of Yanshan in this battle. No less than four thousand people died.
The Japanese troops in the Purple Mountain direction also suffered heavy losses, but due to the firepower of the defenders, the mortality rate of the Japanese troops in this direction was acceptable. Less than 2,000 people died in the battle, and the remaining thousands were all wounded.
When the losses were reported to each division headquarters, both Hisao Tani and Konso Nakajima went crazy. They had not lost so many people in the eight and a half days of bloody fighting on the Nanjing front line, but today they lost so many people in just a few hours. How could they accept being fucked like this?
In the temporary headquarters, Hisao Tani looked at the general in front of him with a livid face, his anger was beyond words!
"Baga, a miscellaneous brigade against China actually suffered more than 5,000 casualties. Shame, shame, huge shame! It's simply unforgivable!"
In the headquarters, they did not dare to come out. They knew the temper of the head of the division and the head of the division. At this time, if someone dared to interrupt the you, the consequences were unimaginable.
However, at this moment, a deep voice came from outside: "Is Hisao Tani-senpai angry again?"
??Then they saw the curtain of the command tent being opened, and then a tall and thin general came in from the outside. Then everyone recognized him. He turned out to be the commander of the 13th Division, His Excellency Ogisu Tatehei.
"Ogisu-kun, why are you here!" Hisao Tani said in a deep voice.
? ??Senior, the casualty statistics of the troops have just been calculated. Our 13th Division suffered a total of more than 3,500 casualties yesterday, and more than 1,000 people were directly killed. I would like to ask senior, how are the casualties of the 6th Division? "Ogisu Libing said.
Hisao Tani's face suddenly turned red. Compared with the casualties of the 13th Division, their Sixth Division was much larger. This made Hisao Tani, who always thought highly of himself, how he could say it.
When Ogisu Rihei saw Hisao Tani's expression, he immediately understood that the losses of the 6th Division might exceed that of their 13th Division, and immediately said: "Senior, the army on the opposite side seems a bit weird!"
"Weird?"
"Well, as far as I know, those who fought with our four divisions yesterday were all independent brigades of China's 67th Army, and their commanders were all Li Guoyao. But seniors also know that one infantry brigade in China only has two regiments of three to four thousand people. How can there be so many troops? You must know that the Chinese army that fought with us yesterday had at least 30,000 people, so the Chinese army on the opposite side is very strange!" Ogisu Tachibyou said.
After Ogisu Rihei reminded him, Hisao Tani instantly understood that something was indeed wrong!
"Ogisu-kun, it is very likely that the China Army gathered many troops and agreed to be commanded by that hateful Li Guoyao, so this situation was created!" Hisao Tani analyzed.
"Youxi, it should be like this! But now we must defeat the Chinese army in front of us as soon as possible in order to capture Li Guoyao alive! But if our divisions do not fight under each other, it may be difficult to defeat each other!"
"Ogisu-kun, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Hisao Tani said.
"Senior, I just met with Mr. Nakajima and Mr. Yoshizumi, and I think we should elect a commander-in-chief to unified command the forces of these divisions on the front line. Don't let the Chinese army escape! I don't know whether senior is willing to take on this Responsibility?" Ogisu Rihei asked.
"You want me to serve as the temporary commander?" Hisao Tani asked with a frown.
"Well, it will be difficult to defeat these Chinese armies if we fight independently now!"
"why me?"
"Senior, among the four division commanders at the front, only senior is the most experienced!" Ogisu Rihei said.
His words made Hisao Tani suddenly feel interesting, and he immediately said: "In that case, I will give it a try!"
Hisao Tani then invited Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Nakajima Imago to his temporary tent, and then said: "Thanks to the new appointment, I will serve as the temporary commander. You all know that the enemy opposite us is attacking The murderers of His Royal Highness, Chief of Staff Tanabe, Chief of Staff Akira Muto, and others will kill that hateful guy no matter how heavy the price is to pay!"
"Senior, what are you going to do?"
"Gentlemen, I suggest that each of you deploy an elite company from each division to join the attack. We should advance together and be sure to kill with one strike!"
"I agree"
"I agree"
With the consent of several division commanders, four elite Japanese regiments were assembled. Then Hisao Tani came to the front of the army, then pulled out the command sword in his hand and said loudly: "Female warriors of the empire, , we are the most traditional field division in the Empire of Japan. The only ones that can be compared with us are the Sendai 2nd Division and the Hiroshima 5th Division. We have conquered Korea and captured Nanjing, the capital of China, but we were defeated by this city in front of us. The small Chinese infantry brigade blocked it here for two days and two nights, what a shame it is!"
"From now on, no one is allowed to retreat. When the soldiers retreat, the sergeant will enforce the military law. When the sergeant retreats, the squad leader will enforce the military law, and so on. If even I retreat, then ask the military police of the regiment to enforce it. Fight until the last person stands, do you understand?"
