The Japanese army moved very quickly, even faster than Li Guoyao expected. When the first batch of Japanese reinforcements arrived in Chu County on May 5, the national troops on the Bengbu front line collectively lost their voices.
In their opinion, the Japs suffered such heavy losses in this battle. Before the Chinese army made the move to go south to attack Chu County, it was simply impossible for the Japanese army to mobilize reinforcements northward so quickly.
There are two reasons. The first is that the Japanese army is preparing for the Battle of Wuhan and there are not so many troops for the little devils to mobilize.
Secondly, the Japanese army did not want to provoke the Nationalist Government at this time. After all, if the Nationalist Government was pressed, it might mobilize troops to besiege Chu County. By then, the Japanese would be passive.
However, everyone underestimated the damage done to the Japanese army by the Battle of Bengbu. Regarding the Battle of Bengbu, the Japanese army felt deeply ashamed and humiliated. They never thought that they would be beaten to pieces in front of such a small city.
The most important thing is that this kind of failure happened more than once, which is absolutely intolerable.
Secondly, Li Guoyao also greatly stimulated the Japanese army. Whether they were ordinary soldiers or the big guys in the Japanese army base camp, Li Guoyao haunted them like a nightmare, which made the top brass want to eat his flesh and peel him off. Skin, remove it quickly.
The most important thing is that after the Battle of Taierzhuang, the national government tried to engage in a strategic decisive battle with the Japanese army outside Xuzhou. Large numbers of troops continued to be transported to Xuzhou. At this time, the national army in southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu had reached more than 100 divisions and brigades with nearly six One hundred thousand troops.
Under this situation, the Japanese army also planned to engage in a decisive battle with the national army, and even wanted to swallow up the main force of the national army's fifth theater in one go. To achieve this strategic goal, the North China Front Army alone would not be able to do it. Therefore, The Central China Front troops must coordinate their actions.
It is for these reasons that the Japanese army moved much faster than the national army imagined.
As of May 7, the Japanese army in Chu County had received a large number of reinforcements, and even the new division commander of the Ninth Division, Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro, had arrived in Chu County.
After receiving a large number of reinforcements, the establishment of the two Japanese army regiments on the Chuxian front line was quickly restored.
After the Battle of Bengbu, the Ninth Division and the 13th Division combined had only a little over 10,000 people left. At this time, the number quickly recovered to more than 25,000 people. Although it was still far behind its peak, even The two first-class divisions combined are not as good as one fifth division, but they are already much better than before.
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese Third Division, under the command of the division commander Lieutenant General Fujita Susumu, moved north from Nanjing to Chu County. For a time, the small Chu County was overcrowded with Japanese soldiers.
On May 8, the Japanese troops on the Chuxian front line received an order from the Central China Front Army Headquarters and immediately established the former enemy headquarters, with Susumu Fujita as the commander-in-chief, assisted by Shizuichi Tanaka and Kiichiro Higuchi.
Subsequently, the front army headquarters ordered the Japanese troops on the front line to immediately go north to attack Bengbu again, avenging their previous humiliation.
Unlike Ryosuke Yoshizumi, who is overjoyed at his achievements but underestimates his enemies and has no brains, Susumu Fujita is not only very senior, but his commanding experience and level are far beyond what Ryosuke Yoshizumi can match.
After receiving the telegram from the front army headquarters, Susumu Fujita did not immediately order the troops to attack. Instead, he immediately ordered people to find Tanaka Shizuichi, Higuchi Kiichiro and others to hold a pre-war meeting.
After understanding the true situation of the three divisions, Fujita first applied for a large number of weapons, equipment and ammunition supplies to the Central China Front Army Headquarters, and then began to formulate a combat plan.
Different from the previous battle plan, Fujita Susumu did not choose to divide his troops. In his opinion, whether it is Dingyuan or Guangming, they are just satellite cities of Bengbu City. They are of little use if they are captured. It doesn't matter if they don't fight. Really Bengbu was the only place that affected the war situation.
Therefore, Susumu Fujita immediately decided to dispatch a complete infantry division to go north along Daishan Town, Chihe Town and other places, directly attack Huanglong, and capture Bengbu City.
And in order to prevent the Third Theater Command from deploying troops to reinforce Bengbu City, Susumu Fujita immediately ordered the Ninth Division to advance westward from Nanqiao, and cooperated with the 47th Regiment of the Sixth Division to attack Feidong and wait for an opportunity to seize Hefei.
This action of the Japanese army directly hit Commander Gu in the waist. Feidong was already crumbling at this time. After a series of battles, the 192nd Division had less than 2,000 people left in the division. If it were not for the timely reinforcements from the 194th Division, If so, I'm afraid Feidong would have fallen long ago.
However, with the sudden westward advance of the Japanese Ninth Division, the 194th Division suddenly felt tremendous pressure, and Feidong's peripheral defense line was crumbling.
The situation in Feidong has also directly affected the Chief of the Third War Zone in Hefei City. Once Feidong falls, Hefei City will probably be difficult to hold. After all,In terms of military conditions, Hefei may not be as good as Feidong.
Hefei. Headquarters of the Third War Zone.
Commander Gu and others were nervously discussing the enemy situation on the front line. At this time, a combat staff officer hurriedly came in to report: "Sir, there is an urgent call from the direction of Hanshan!"
"What's wrong?"
"Sir, the observation post in the direction of Hanshan has just discovered a large number of Japanese aircraft flying towards the north. The observation post has determined that the target of the enemy planes is either the Feidong front line or Hefei City. We need to prepare early!" said the combat staff.
Commander Gu looked at the map and said, "I know, order the whole city to prepare for air defense!"
"yes!"
After the combat staff retreated, Chief Gu sighed and said, "Huanran, how many times has this been the Japanese air attack on Hefei City?"
"The third time today and the 21st time this month!" Huang Baitao answered skillfully.
"Well, you are really bullying us because we don't have an airplane to fight back!" Chief Gu said in a deep voice.
"Sir, our air force itself is not strong. We have suffered huge losses of fighter planes since the war began. Now that the main force has been transferred to Wuhan, we can only rely on our brothers to resist with their flesh and blood on the front line!" Huang Baitao said.
¡°Hey, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore, how is it over there in Bengbu?¡±
"There is no news yet, but it is said that the elite third division of the Little Devils has moved north, aiming directly at Bengbu City. I think the 61st Army may be in danger this time!" Huang Baitao replied.
"Since it's hanging, let them withdraw!" Chief Gu said.
"Withdraw?"
"Well, you and I both know the situation of the 61st Army. After the previous battle, they only had 4,000 remnants left to fight. Including the three regiments sent by the war zone commander, the total number is probably less than 10,000. . Moreover, weapons, equipment and ammunition are seriously insufficient, and we have no way to support them. If we continue to stay in Bengbu, there can only be one result!"
Before Chief Gu could finish speaking, Huang Baitao said: "The entire army was wiped out!"
"Yes, the fact that they were able to fight like that last time has proven their strength and also proved Li Guoyao's loyalty to the party and the country. We cannot bury an elite team in a small town that is bound to fall. Such a burial has no meaning! "
"Sir, have you ever thought about it. Once the 61st Army withdraws, Bengbu will be over. Then the main force of the Japs will march straight in. At that time, the Central China Front Army will join forces with the North China Front Army. Xuzhou is in danger!" Huang Baitao! road.
"There is nothing we can do about it. If the 61st Army can really block the Japanese army on the southern front, I will not hesitate to let them block it. But the current situation is that even if the 61st Army is blocked entirely It won't help, it will just increase some casualties!" Chief Gu said.
"Then where is the committee"
"Don't worry about the committee, I will explain it to him personally!"
"Then where can the 61st Army withdraw?"
"Huainan!"
"Huainan?"
"Yes, Huainan is close to Hefei. If necessary, the 61st Army can go south to reinforce Hefei!" Chief Gu said.
"That's okay, but I don't know if that guy Li Guoyao is willing to retreat. He's such a stubborn person!" Huang Baitao said.
"He knows the severity, but I'm a little worried that it might be too late to retreat now!"
"It shouldn't be too late, and that guy is very good at defending stations. There's no way the little Japs can defeat them so quickly!" Huang Baitao said confidently.
"You trust that boy, go and inform them!"
"yes!"
