Affected by the Shandong battlefield, the battle between China and Japan on the Bengbu frontline has reached the point where bayonets see red. Both sides are gathering forces and preparing to give the other side a fatal blow.
However, neither Li Guoyao nor the big bosses in the Third Theater expected that while the Japs were setting up a formation to attack Bengbu, they quietly assembled heavy troops in Nanqiao, and suddenly attacked the 192nd Division when it was not yet stable. Quanjiao launched a full-scale attack.
This time, the Japanese army learned from the previous lesson and did not divide their forces to encircle them. Instead, they set out from Nanqiao and headed straight for Quanjiao County with an army of 20,000 people.
Since they did not expect a sudden attack by the Japanese army in advance, the Quanjiao defenders did not deploy troops near Nanqiao and kept several warning posts.
However, those few guard posts were eliminated by the Japs¡¯ search team before the war started. As a result, the main force of the Japanese 101st Division almost drove straight in and reached the foot of Quanjiao City without encountering any resistance.
The 192nd Division was shocked and immediately used the defenses outside Quanjiao City to counterattack, and the two sides immediately launched an siege.
This time the 101st Division spent a lot of money. Not only did they send out all their main forces, but they also transferred a brigade of field heavy artillery from Chu County.
In the face of the 105mm-caliber heavy howitzer, the simple fortifications without steel bars and cement that Li Guoyao's troops had built before were like paper. In less than half a day, the outer fortifications were completely destroyed.
Fortunately, the 192nd Division belongs to the elite of the Hunan Army. Although the division commander Hu Da is not a famous general, he still has some integrity. Thinking that Li Guoyao's troops relied on Quanjiao County to severely damage the Japs, and although their 192nd Division was not as good as the 7th Division, they couldn't lose the city less than an hour after the war started!
So under Huda¡¯s order, the 192nd Division fought back and fought very tenaciously.
"But the 101st Division spent a lot of money for this battle. In addition to heavy artillery units, it also invested a large number of tank units, and also mobilized a large number of aviation units from Nanjing City to participate in the battle.
The battle lasted from 10 am to 1 pm. Although the defenders repelled 7 Japanese attacks within three hours, their own losses were extremely heavy.
Not to mention the loss of most of the soldiers, even the defenses outside the city were almost completely lost. Seeing that the Japs were about to launch a final encirclement of Quanjiao City and assume a posture of annihilating their 192nd Division, in desperation, Huda After consulting the commander of the Third War Zone, all the defending troops were ordered to evacuate Quanjiao.
However, after withdrawing from Quanjiao, the 192nd Division did not withdraw too far and quickly re-established a defense line in Liuzhen, 15 kilometers west of Quanjiao City, to block the Japanese army from continuing to advance westward.
There is no way, Quanjiao goes west to Feidong, and after Feidong is Hefei, which is the location of the Third War Zone Commander's Headquarters, so there is no room for error.
Fortunately, the commander of the Third War Zone has ordered the nearby 194th Division to march eastward to Quanjiao to reinforce the 192nd Division. Although the strength of the two divisions is still weak, they are still capable of fighting.
But the next move of the little devil once again confused the commander of the Third War Zone. At such a favorable opportunity, the little devil did not take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory, but instead built fortifications on the spot.
Although they didn¡¯t quite understand what the Little Jaap meant, in view of the fact that the Little Jaap was at its peak, the commander of the Third Theater District hesitated and decided to give up the counterattack on Quanjiao.
But when the news reached Bengbu, Li Guoyao and others on the front line were shocked. They had only left Quanjiao for a few days and lost it. I really didn¡¯t know what to say!
At the same time, once Quanjiao was lost, Dingyuan County, located just north of Quanjiao, would be in danger. At the beginning, Li Guoyao planned to ask the third theater for instructions when the fighting was the fiercest, so that the 192nd Division left behind in Quanjiao could dispatch a side attack on the Japs. Support the Bengbu front line from the side.
????????????? But now it seems that I have overthought it. In the third theater of war, I am also a mud bodhisattva who cannot save myself when crossing the river, so I can still take care of the Bengbu battlefield.
"It was not only Li Guoyao's troops who were also shocked, but also the 13th Division of Chu County.
After receiving the news that the 101st Division had taken Quanjiao County in less than three hours, the entire 13th Division, including the division commander Tanaka Shizuo, and even the ordinary soldiers were dumbfounded.
Thinking about how miserable it was for them to attack Quanjiao, not to mention the siege, it took more than three hours to walk from the Japanese defense area to Quanjiao County.
Especially the terrifying cold shots along the way. Until now, Tanaka Shizuichi had not thought of how to crack it and could only be beaten passively. However, he did not expect that the 101st Division conquered Quanjiao County without encountering much resistance. , it is said that more than 3,000 enemies were wiped out.
Now Tanaka Shizuichi is a little confused, why is that hateful branch/unit facing their 13thWhen he was in the 101st Division, he was a ferocious wolf, but when he met the 101st Division, he turned into a little sheep. Why is this?
Naturally, Tanaka Shizuichi would not think that the 101st Division's combat effectiveness was better than that of the 13th Division. You must know that the 101st Division is a new unit composed of Tokyo soldiers. Those soldiers are all reserve soldiers of the Guards Division, and their training level is higher than that of the 13th Division. The soldiers of the 13th Division were far behind, so the combat effectiveness of the 101st Division was very weak.
More importantly, during the attack on Shanghai, almost most of the original personnel of the 101st Division were casualties, and its 101st Regiment Captain Haruo Kano was also killed. Due to too many casualties, the unit had lost its vitality. Therefore, when attacking Nanjing, this unit was left in Shanghai to serve as rear guard.
"The combat effectiveness of such a unit is not at the same level as that of the 13th Division, but it can perform so dazzlingly in a full offensive and defensive battle, which makes Tanaka Shizuichi very puzzled.
But soon the truth of the matter was revealed. When collecting the bodies on the battlefield, the Japanese army discovered that the numbers of the Chinese troops who died in the battle were not the so-called Temporary Seventh Division at all, but a miscellaneous army that they had never heard of. , designated as the 192nd Division.
When the news came, Tanaka Shizuichi was relieved. It turns out that it was not that the 101st Division had become elite, but that the opponent had changed!
But the question soon arose. Since Li Guoyao¡¯s troops are no longer in Quanjiao, where did they go?
In view of the strong combat effectiveness of Li Guoyao's unit, as the top commander of the Bengbu front line, Tanaka Shizuichi felt that he had to figure out the movements of the 7th Division.
Subsequently, a large number of Japanese intelligence personnel were released, trying to find out the location of the 7th Division.
After the news reached the Central China Front Army Headquarters, Commander Yan Junliu immediately called the person in charge of the Central China Region of THT and ordered him to be sure to find out the movements of the 7th Division and Li Guoyao himself.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Did not disappoint Yan Junliu and others, it only took less than a day to figure out the location of the 7th Division.
Knowing that this man had arrived at the Bengbu front line without anyone noticing, the Japanese Central China Front was surprised and felt that this was a good opportunity to deal with Li Guoyao's troops.
The reason is that in the previous battles, Li Guoyao's troops used mobile warfare to defeat the imperial army, but this time it was different. Their mission was to defend the city, so they had the responsibility of defending the territory, so they could not run away if they couldn't defeat it like before. .
¡°And this time the Japanese army has assembled two divisions, as well as a large number of technical arms. Their strength is no less than that of the Chinese army on the Bengbu front line, but their firepower far exceeds that of their opponents.
Under such circumstances, the possibility that the Chinese army can defend Bengbu is almost zero. If commanded properly, it may not be impossible to completely annihilate Li Guoyao's troops.
In view of this, the Central China Front Army Headquarters immediately ordered the 101st Division to cease combat missions against the third theater. As long as the safety of Quanjiao was ensured, it would immediately advance to the Bengbu front line and coordinate with the 13th Division to attack Bengbu.
At the same time, Yan Junliu personally sent a stern telegram to Tanaka Shizuichi, ordering them to eliminate Li Guoyao's troops while attacking Bengbu. At the worst, they should severely damage them and avenge the humiliation of the Imperial Japanese Army.
In order to cooperate with the Japanese troops on the front line, Yan Junliu specially sent Yamada Yongtetsu, the person in charge of the Central China Region of Utech, to Chu County to provide intelligence support to the troops on the front line. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
