On the road from Tongliao to Linxi, a cavalry of 2,000 people was running fast. These cavalry were all wearing khaki Japanese military uniforms, and each man had two horses, one carrying equipment and supplies, and the other It's a ride.
"A dozen kilometers behind this cavalry was an astonishing number of convoys. There were two to three hundred six-wheel trucks equipped by the Japanese army alone, as well as a large number of tanks and armored vehicles.
Yes, this is the 29th Division that was ordered to reinforce.
The division was established on February 25, 1941. It was organized in Manchuria and supplied the Nagoya Military District. It has the 18th, 38th, and 50th Infantry Regiments, as well as one cavalry, artillery, engineer, and baggage corps. The full strength of the regiment is 16,500 men.
Even though the 29th Division was established a little late, only three years ago, its combat effectiveness is quite good. The main reason is that the three main infantry regiments it belongs to are all well-established. Among them, the 18th Infantry Regiment belongs to the 3rd Division, the 38th Infantry Regiment belongs to the 16th Division, and the 50th Infantry Regiment belongs to the 14th Division. These are all famous Class A divisions in the Japanese army.
After the formation of the troops, the 29th Division was directly affiliated with the Kwantung Army. It was responsible for the defense of northern Manchuria and active training in preparation for the war against the Soviet Union. It was used by the Kwantung Army headquarters as the main field force, and even built it into a small force. Some are fully mechanized troops.
Originally, the 29th Division was stationed in Liaoyang, but not long ago, the 9th Division was completely wiped out, and the Kwantung Army Headquarters transferred this main force to Wangye Temple.
When the war situation on the Western Front was unfavorable, the Kwantung Army Headquarters once again thought of this division and ordered its troops to immediately go south for reinforcements.
With a distance of more than 560 kilometers, the 29th Division rushed to Chifeng in two days and two nights. The speed was truly shocking.
On the grassland dirt road, the car was bumpy and bumpy. The commander of the 29th Division, Lieutenant General Gao Pinbiao, looked a little sallow and his eyes were tired.
Although Gao Pinbiao, who was born in 1891, is only 53 years old this year, Gao Pinbiao is in very bad physical condition due to leading troops in wars all year round and having been injured before.
The forced march for two consecutive days and nights made Gao Pinbiao feel very uncomfortable. If it weren't for the emergency situation on the front line, he would really be unable to hold on any longer.
Suppressing his physical discomfort, Gao Pinbiao asked Chief of Staff Sato: "Sato, how long does it take to arrive at the battlefield?"
Colonel Sato immediately said: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the cavalry regiment just sent a telegram not long ago, saying that they have passed Xinchengzi Town and are less than 20 kilometers away from Linxi County!"
"For the cavalry, these twenty kilometers are only half an hour away. Send them a report. After arriving at the battlefield, don't be busy attacking for the time being. Wait until the main force of the division and regiment arrives!"
"Nani? Didn't it mean that the 14th Division and the 7th Division are already trapped in a tight siege and are in urgent need of reinforcements?" Colonel Sato asked hurriedly.
"Hmph, the main force of the 7th Division has been surrounded and annihilated by Zhi/Na. Lord Li Deng sacrificed his life for the country. We are already too late. As for the army commanded by Jingguan Longchang, the total strength exceeds 30,000. Zhi/Na It¡¯s impossible for people to eat them in a short time, sooner or later an hour or two will not harm the overall situation.¡±
Then Gao Pinbiao said again: "On the contrary, we rushed thousands of miles and marched for two days and two nights. All the officers and soldiers were very tired. Entering the battle at this time is completely to give the supporter a chance to wait for work. I will not do such a stupid thing!"
"Hai! Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise!"
Facing the Chief of Staff's rainbow fart, Gao Pinbiao did not feel much enjoyment. He knew very well the importance of this unit under his command. This was one of the few mechanized divisions of the Imperial Japanese Army and the entire Kwantung Army, and this battle was also They went out to fight with all their strength for the first time since they became an army, and they promised to win but not to lose.
"Order: The main force must speed up and arrive at the main battlefield within an hour!"
"Hai!"
?¡
This is Linxi on March 8, 1943. At 5:30 in the morning, a large number of Japanese cavalry arrived at the peripheral positions a few kilometers east of the county seat.
But these Japanese soldiers camped on the spot but did not attack.
At 6:10, the main force of the Japanese army arrived at the outer positions. The endless convoys and an astonishing number of tank troops alarmed Chow Tai Fook and others in the city, and also caused considerable pressure on the frontline troops.
After the main force of the Japanese army arrived, they quickly set up their positions and prepared to attack.
At seven o'clock sharp, Japanese military airports in Fengtian, Jinzhou, Tongliao and other places also took action. A large number of fighter planes took off, and the target was clearly the Linxi front line.
And thisAt this time, the gunfire from Xiaohadatu and Xiaonuqigou that had been fighting all night suddenly stopped.
The ceasefire order was issued by Chen Jianzhong. The reason for the sudden stop of the attack was mainly because after fighting for a whole night, the troops were very tired, especially the 2nd column, which was the main attacker. They had been fighting continuously for more than 20 hours. They were iron-clad. People will not be able to support it.
In addition, the Japanese fighter planes are about to arrive, so the troops must stop attacking at this time, otherwise, they will easily be blown up by the opponent.
After the fighting temporarily stopped, Chen Jianzhong first sent people to replace Zhou Qiang's troops who were responsible for the main attack, and then moved all the air defense troops and artillery troops to the front, planning to launch the attack after nine o'clock in the morning.
Seeing the main force of the Chinese army retreating, Jingguan Longchang breathed a sigh of relief. At the end of the night, he was really stunned by the combat effectiveness and fighting will shown by the Chinese army.
It can be said that this is the Chinese army with the strongest combat effectiveness he has ever seen, and it is also the unit with the strongest will to fight, no one.
All the disdain he had before coming here has long been thrown away by him in Java. Such a Chinese army will be extremely troublesome no matter which unit it encounters, whether it is a division A or a division B.
In the temporary headquarters, after drinking some water from the kettle to moisturize his throat that was about to smoke, Iseki Takomasa asked tiredly: "Muto, have you made statistics? How much has our department lost?"
"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, has made statistics. According to the data reported by each unit, in the whole day of yesterday's battle, our division lost a total of 17,433 people, including 13,698 casualties, 2,404 minor injuries, and serious injuries. The number of soldiers on the verge of death is 1,331," Chief of Staff Colonel Muto replied hastily.
"How many combat-ready troops do you have left?"
"Your Excellency, at the moment, our troops that can still fight are only more than 13,000, and they are divided and surrounded by the enemy on three hills not far apart."
"Baga, you mean to say that we lost more than 60% of our troops in yesterday's battle. How is this possible!" Jingguan Longchang roared.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, although this result is indeed incredible and difficult to accept, it is a fact!"
After a long silence, Jingguan Longchang came back to his senses and asked: "What is the loss of our weapons and equipment?"
"All 48 tanks were destroyed, most of the cars were lost, and two-thirds of the artillery was knocked out. The condition of the light weapons is relatively good, and the ammunition is relatively sufficient. However, we lack water sources. The current survival of the soldiers is The water is almost exhausted. If we cannot break through the encirclement in a short time, drinking water may become the most severe situation faced by the troops!"
The lack of water in the army is indeed a big problem. People can survive for a week without food, but they can survive at most three days without water. Two days have passed now. In other words, if you cannot break through today, you must find a water source. Otherwise, the troops will collapse without a fight.
"Have you found out the number of the army opposite Muto? Who is their commander?" Iguchi Takamasa asked in a deep voice.
"Your Excellency, the banner displayed by the opponent is the Second Column of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. This designation was formerly affiliated with Yang Jingyu's troops, but was later wiped out by the Imperial Japanese Army. I don't know when the support/that person rebuilt it again. , and the combat power is so strong!" Takeda Osaka said.
"Forget it if you don't know. I estimate that the aviation regiment will arrive in the morning. You should immediately send a message to the commanders of several other encirclement circles and order them to move closer to the division headquarters as soon as the aviation regiment arrives."
"Hai!"
"In addition, immediately formulate a breakout plan, and after the main forces have converged, the entire army will break out!"
"Hai!"
