When the North China Front was ready to move, the Japanese 11th Army stationed in Wuhan also made new moves!
A month ago, the 11th Army finally captured Yichang and the area west of the Han River through continuous operations. Later, Lieutenant General Sonobe Kazuichiro ordered the 39th Division to be stationed in Jiangling, Shashi, Jingmen, and Shayang Town; The 13th Division is stationed on both sides of the Yangtze River in Yichang and around the north and east; the independent mixed 18th Brigade is stationed in Dangyang, ready to continue to attack westward.
In order to solve the problem of the 11th Army occupying a large area and insufficient garrison strength, Sonobe and Ichiro recently requested assistance from the base camp through the China Dispatch Army Headquarters, requesting that some additional reinforcements be sent to their 11th Army, with the number not less than one division. group.
After some deliberations, the Japanese base camp decided in early July to transfer the 4th Division of the Kwantung Army stationed in Jiamusi to the Yingcheng area.
Since the 13th and 39th Divisions and the 18th Independent Mixed Brigade were responsible for the defense of the newly occupied area west of the Han River, although the 4th Division was added to the security of the original occupied area, the strength was still insufficient.
According to the situation of the Japanese army, Li Zongren's fifth theater continuously organized counterattacks of different scales against the Japanese army west of the Han River and south of Zaoyang. One section also went deep into the enemy's rear and launched extensive and powerful guerrilla warfare to attack the Japanese army.
The national army's counterattack caused the mobile corps of the Japanese 11th Army to temporarily lose its ability to conduct battle attacks.
However, the Japanese army was not easy to deal with. In order to prevent the 5th, 6th, and 9th theaters from launching attacks, the Japanese army subsequently adopted the combat method of concentrating one unit of the camera to conduct short assaults and attack without occupying, in an attempt to continuously consume the Kuomintang. military and maintain stability in the areas they occupy.
According to the research and decision of the Japanese commanders, the advance distance of the short-cut assault is generally about 40 to 100 kilometers; the duration is roughly 7 to 10 days, and the first stop is in northwest Hubei.
After the Fourth Division arrived in Wuhan, Sonobe and Ichiro immediately issued an order to the 3rd Division, 4th Division, 15th Division, and the 18th Independent Mixed Brigade to complete the attack on the 5th Theater by early August. With the troops to the west of the county, north of Zhongxiang, north and west of Jingmen, make combat preparation orders for short assaults.
All Japanese troops and above were concentrated on August 8, and the attack began that night.
After the offensive began, Toshima Botaro, the commander of the 3rd Division, concentrated his troops near Suixian County and attacked Chantan Town in the northwest of Suixian County in two directions in an attempt to annihilate the 41st and 45th Army of the 5th Theater Division there. The first army.
The road heading north from Suixian County passes through Liangshuigou, Lishan Town, and Jingmingpu to Tangxian Town, about 40 kilometers away from Suixian County, and then turns left to join the division's other road attacking westward from Suixian County. Meet at Chantan Town. The troops of the 5th Theater Division carried out a flank attack on the enemy and broke out of the encirclement. The 3rd Division retreated.
Lieutenant General Kitano Kenzo, who succeeded Yamashita Tomofumi as the commander of the 4th Division on July 22, divided his troops into two lines at Zhongxiang, east of the Han River, and attacked Yangzi Town to the north. , Changshoudian, Beixinji, Yangjiaji, Wangjiatai, Fenglehe and Xiaojiamiao in an area of ??about 30 kilometers. During this period, after many battles with the 44th Army, the advance was stopped.
The 15th Division, the 11th Army, based on the situation of the 15th Division, ordered the 39th Division to coordinate with the 4th Division east of the Han River on the right and the 18th independent mixed brigade on the left in Dangyang. In the Jingmen area of ??the regiment's defense area, two routes were divided along the west bank of the Han River to attack the Kuaihuopu and Xianju areas defended by the 59th Army to the north.
After the attack began, they attacked the northwest area of ??Dangyang in two ways. After fighting with the 77th Army of the 5th Theater, they successively occupied Miaoqian, Chuanxindian, Yinyu Gang and The forward distance to Qianxichang, Qingxichang, Papayapu and other places is about 30 kilometers.
This time, the enemy used 3 divisions and 1 brigade to make a short-distance advance to the northwest from Suixian, Zhongxiang, Jingmen, and Dangyang counties. The purpose was to destroy the 5th Theater Autumn Counteroffensive through a short assault. plan to maintain stability in the Jianghan area it occupied.
In fact, in the Jiangbei area of ??Wuhan, what threatens the Japanese 11th Army is not only the troops of the Fifth Theater west of the Han River, but also Tang Enbo's 31st Group Army and the 31st Group Army in Xinyang north of Zaoyang, Tanghe, Xinye and Nanyang. Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Army on the front. However, due to the limited strength of Sonobe's 11th Army, it could only conduct short-cut assaults in stages.
With the actions of the Japanese army, the situation in Central China has also become tense!
?????????????????????????????????????¡
The tense situation would inevitably affect Li Guoyao's troops who were still resting, so Xu Hu, Wang Zhanhai, Ma Desheng, Zhang Tengjiao, Xie Baojun and others asked Li Guoyao whether the troops should shrink their troops and actively prepare for war.
However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Li Guoyao¡¯s reply turned out to be no!
This answer immediately made everyone??Stunned, it is now a foregone conclusion that the Japanese army will attack Zaozhuang. Although the national army is actively preparing for war, it is unknown whether it can hold Zaozhuang.
After all, Zaozhuang is different from Heze. Zaozhuang is located at an important node of the Jinpu Line, with convenient transportation and extending in all directions. The Japanese army was much more determined to capture Zaozhuang than to capture Heze.
Secondly, due to the convenient transportation, the Japanese army can deploy troops calmly. In comparison, the Sulu Theater will suffer a lot in this regard.
Once the Japanese army captures Zaozhuang City, the next target may not be Xiong'er Mountain. Therefore, they should be prepared both publicly and privately, and even participate in the battle in person if necessary. After all, everyone knows the truth of death.
But Li Guoyao still did not accept the persuasion of Xu Hu and others. Instead, he ordered all the troops to rest and train in accordance with the previous orders. Please stop meddling outside.
¡°That¡¯s right, in Li Guoyao¡¯s view, that¡¯s just a no-brainer!
Li Guoyao understood the truth of lip-destroying teeth, but he didn't think the Japanese army would attack Xiong'er Mountain. Firstly, they didn't have the ability, and secondly, they couldn't have the energy.
The Japanese army had just suffered heavy losses in several battlefields, losing at least 30,000 people. However, their reinforcements could only be mobilized from within the country and would not be able to reach the Chinese battlefield in a short time. At this time, they were already struggling to regain Zaozhuang. Okay, isn't attacking Xiong'er Mountain a fool's errand?
More importantly, according to what Yun Lisa said some time ago and what Li Guoyao knows, if nothing happens, the Eighth Route Army will make a big move in a while.
And this time, the Eighth Route Army will unexpectedly dispatch more than a hundred regiments to fight, and the entire North China will be turned into a mess.
"It's too late for the little devil to protect himself, so he will attack Xiong'er Mountain!"
So, in Li Guoyao's opinion, instead of having the energy to do those shabby things, it is better to seize the time to let the troops rest and restore their strength.
Of course, it is enough for Li Guoyao to know these things himself, there is no need to tell others.
In addition, there is another reason why Li Guoyao did not get involved in the battle between the Japanese army and the Sulu Theater, and that is that their ammunition consumption has basically bottomed out.
In the previous half-month-long battle, Li Guoyao's troops consumed at least 150 million rounds of rifle ammunition, 200 million rounds of machine gun ammunition, and 200,000 rounds of various artillery shells.
Although the production capacity of Xiong'ershan Arsenal has increased several times, it cannot support such consumption.
Fortunately, this battle only lasted for half a month. If it had lasted for another half month, Li Guoyao's troops might not be able to sustain it.
¡°After all, a firearm without ammunition is not as useful as a fire stick. As for a cannon, let alone it. Without the shells, it is just a pile of scrap metal. Anyway, you can¡¯t put a bayonet on the cannon.
Because of this, the first thing Li Guoyao did after the battle was to order the logistics department to seize the time to produce ammunition. At the same time, he ordered all troops to reload the empty shells collected from the battlefield, at least to ensure that each A soldier must have a hundred rounds of bullets in his bullet pouch.
Therefore, the fact that Li Guoyao does not want to get involved in this matter is not because he is unwilling, but because he does not have the need and the ability!
