When the Japanese army withdrew from Dongfeng Town, the battle on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain had reached a tense moment of death and death!
On the western front, the Japanese 41st Division and the 9th Independent Brigade had broken through the defensive positions of the 14th Army, 43rd Army, and 15th Army, and quickly advanced southward. On the afternoon of the 8th, they captured Yuanqu on the north bank of the Yellow River and cut off The contact between the 5th and 14th Group Armies was established.
At 12:00 on the 9th, the main force of the Japanese 41st Division and the 36th and 37th Divisions carried out a double encirclement of the 5th Group Army, and then began to attack. The defenders immediately retreated to the second line of defense.
During the battle, the 3rd Army and the 80th Army carried out heroic resistance and suffered serious losses.
When the Japanese army attacked near Macun, east of Xia County, where the 5th Army Headquarters was located, Zeng Wanzhong led the Army Headquarters to move eastward to Nanjiangou.
At dawn, I received a call from the commander of the First War Zone. The commander of the war zone said that he had sent two regiments of troops to occupy the bridgehead in the highlands north of Wufujian and recruited more than 10 ferries. He ordered Zeng Wanzhong's troops to carry out various operations as a last resort. The army should move south one by one and cross the river at Wufu Stream.
However, just when the Fifth Army was preparing to break out, it learned that the 16th independent mixed brigade had captured Wufujian. The two regiments of the 85th Division led by Gu Tao fought there until the morning of the 10th, but failed to fight. After retreating from the Japanese attack, they were forced to retreat to the south bank.
The 5th Army was unable to cross the river at this time, so it broke through from Nanjiangou to the northwest, resulting in heavy losses.
On the eastern front, the Japanese 33rd Division in Yangcheng, the 21st Division in Qinyang, and the 35th Division in Wenxian County attacked the four armies commanded by Liu Maoen's 14th Group Army in the east of Zhongtiao Mountain. The division launched an attack.
The 54th Division of the 9th Army guarding the highway west of Qinyang fought fiercely with the enemy until 8:00 on the 8th and then retreated. Meng County was occupied by the enemy. Then the enemy's 21st and 35th Divisions will attack Jiyuan. That night, Jiyuan was occupied.
At this time, the 9th Army received an order from the Chief of the First War Zone to retreat to the established position in the Fengmenkou Mountain area east of Wangwu Town. One unit stopped the enemy at Dalingtou south of Fengmenkou to cover the Guanyang Ferry of the Yellow River. .
Since the enemy's 41st Division on the west route had occupied Yuanqu on the afternoon of the 8th, the 16th Independent Brigade continued to advance eastward along the north bank of the Yellow River. The First Theater Commander ordered the 9th Army to withdraw from Guanyang Ferry as quickly as possible. South of the Yellow River.
However, the enemies from the east and west were about to join together, and the enemy air force bombed and blocked the ferry. Many ships were damaged. Therefore, only the 54th Division of the 9th Army crossed to Guanshuimo south of the Yellow River after suffering heavy casualties. area.
Since the affiliated 47th Division and the newly formed 24th Division could no longer cross the river, they withdrew to the north of Wangwu and Shaoyuan Highways to conduct guerrilla warfare and establish contact with the 14th Group Army in the area.
The Japanese independent 16th Brigade on the Western Front and the 35th Division on the Eastern Front met in Shaoyuan on May 11. At this point, the southern rear areas of the 5th and 14th Group Armies were all blocked by the enemy, and the Yellow River crossing in this section was also blocked by the enemy.
The defense area of ??Liu Maoen's 14th Group Army was relatively large. At the beginning of the battle, the enemy's 35th and 21st Divisions in the south mainly attacked Meng County, Jiyuan County, Wangwu Town, and Shaoyuan Town to the west to achieve their purpose of blockade. There was no centripetal attack, so the group army initially used the 15th Army and part of the 98th Army in the Xiachuan area south of Qinshui County to besiege the enemy's 33rd Division to a part of the Meiping area northwest of Henghe Town. .
When the enemy's 33rd Division was blocked in the southern rear and launched a centripetal attack, and the situation of Zeng Wanzhong's 5th Army in the west was unknown, the First Theater District Commander immediately ordered the main force of the 14th Army to move to the north of the Qinshui and Yicheng highways and move on-site Supplies and reorganizes the situation.
Accordingly, the 14th Group Army ordered the 43rd Army to deploy defenses from Tongshan east of Yuanqu to the east-west line of Lingguan Temple. The 15th Army deployed its defenses from Tongshan to the north to Shunwangping to prevent the independent 16th Brigade and 21st Division on the south road and the 41st Division on the west road.
He also ordered the 93rd Army in Wangbi Town, northeast of Qinshui, to attack the enemy in Qinshui to support the retreat of the main force of the group army to the north.
But at this time, the 35th and 21st Divisions on the southern front began to conduct a horizontal attack northward along the highway, and attacked the 14th Group Army with the enemy 33rd Division in Yangcheng.
At this moment, the 14th Group Army fell into a melee!
Jincheng battlefield. Zezhou County.
As a satellite city of Jincheng, Zezhou was basically connected with Jincheng in later generations, but now there is still a certain distance between the two places.
When the Battle of Jincheng started, the Battle of Zezhou also started!
Unlike the fortification of Jincheng, Zezhou not only has a small number of defenders, but also mainly puppet troops. There are only more than 300 real Japs.
Furthermore, the defenders of Zezhou were extremely lax. When Zhang Tengjiao's troops approached the city, the defenders realized something was wrong and hurriedly entered the battle.
But at this time, Zhang Tengjiao¡¯s troops had already arrived at the gate of Zezhou City, and then they fired two salvos of heartless artillery.The city gate of Zezhou was blown beyond recognition, and a long section of the city wall that had been in disrepair also collapsed.
Subsequently, under the command of Zhang Tengjiao, the army invaded the city through the city gate and damaged city wall, and street fighting began.
When the Japanese and puppet troops in the city saw that the Eighth Route Army was coming to kill them, they were still very stubborn and jumped into the battle, preparing to fight in the streets with Zhang Tengjiao and others.
But when they actually fought against Zhang Tengjiao's troops in the city, they realized the seriousness of the problem. This Eighth Route Army was by no means as simple as it seemed.
Not only do they have extremely rich combat experience, but their firepower is also unexpectedly fierce. Although they do not have large-caliber field artillery, the number of light and heavy machine guns is beyond imagination.
As we all know, the most important thing in street fighting is the number of troops and automatic firepower. At present, the strength of the Chinese army is more than four times that of the Japanese army, and the number of automatic firepower is also far more than that of the Japanese army. The results can be imagined.
Less than half an hour after entering the city, the Japanese and puppet troops were beaten and killed more than half, and the remaining two to three hundred Japanese soldiers had no choice but to break out from the west gate.
However, as soon as they rushed out of the city gate, they saw a cavalry of more than 300 people waiting for them outside the west gate.
Before the Japanese and puppet troops could react, the cavalry rushed over!
After a while of chopping melons and vegetables, most of the puppet troops were killed for more than two hundred days, and all the rest surrendered. Zezhou City was captured!
After capturing Zezhou, Zhang Tengjiao¡¯s troops immediately launched attacks on strongholds in Nancun Town, Daqi Town, Baima Temple and other places around Jincheng.
At this time, after losing Zezhou City, the largest outer stronghold, the Japanese army in Jincheng City suddenly became a lonely army. Although they relied on the city wall to temporarily block the attack of Li Guoyao's troops, it was only temporary.
Seeing that the Japanese army was determined to defend the city, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the artillery troops to concentrate all the unscrupulous cannons at the south gate, and then, under the cover of a special armored bunker, moved the unscrupulous cannons under the city wall, and then launched an attack near the south gate of Jincheng. The city wall launched a fierce bombardment.
Although the heartless cannon has no technical content and no accuracy, its power is indeed amazing.
"How can those old city walls hold on when explosives weighing more than ten kilograms explode on the city walls?"
In less than half an hour, after more than 300 explosive packets were fired by unscrupulous cannons, the wall of the south gate of Jincheng finally collapsed!
"The city wall is like a domino. If one place collapses, other places will have no support. Many gaps will soon appear, just like a mooncake that has been eaten by a dog."
At that moment, Li Guoyao seized the opportunity and ordered the troops from the south gate to enter the city through the gap, and continued to attack the city!
As soon as the national army broke into the city, the buzzing engines of Japanese fighter planes were heard in the sky. However, when they rushed down from the clouds, they discovered that the Chinese troops had already entered the city, and the aerial bombs in their belly instantly lost their effect. They could not Just throw down those who don't distinguish between friend and foe!
However, what surprised Li Guoyao was that although the main force of the national army had entered the city, the Japanese and puppet troops in the city still did not give up resistance, and actually relied on the streets to engage in street fighting with the Jiujiu Army.
¡°In fact, what Li Guoyao didn¡¯t know was that Colonel Saito had nothing to do. At this time, there were five to six hundred tons of military supplies piled up in Jincheng city. Except for some rice, flour, grain, oil, cans and drinks, most of the rest were weapons, equipment and ammunition.
These things are all prepared for the 33rd Division and the Fourth Independent Brigade on the front line. If they withdraw, all those things will be cheaper for that person.
Ammunition is okay, at least one grenade can detonate it, but food is not good, even if it is burned with fire, it will not be completely burned for a while!
In addition, the First Army Headquarters has told them that reinforcements are already on the way, and they are expected to arrive in two hours!
Colonel Saito made an estimate, and with the large number of troops in his hands, he could not say that it would not be a problem to hold on for three to four hours. Even if the reinforcements were delayed on the road, he would not be afraid, so he decided to hold on.
It¡¯s just that Colonel Saito didn¡¯t know at all that Li Guoyao had already counted on their reinforcements. Even compared to the Japanese army in the direction of Yangcheng, the small Jincheng was just hunting rabbits and taking them along!
