Chapter 38: Blood and Fire Cage City (6)
. At 11:30 on the night of March 15, the command headquarters of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army was stationed.
At this moment, the high-level Japanese command organization had already been filled with smoke and sounds of killing. Teams of Chinese cavalry wrapped in cotton cloth were howling, shouting and galloping here, using the grenades, rifles and sabers in their hands to spread death and pain to the Japanese officers of all sizes who had just escaped from the tent. At this moment, these Chinese soldiers with low education were composing a Chinese musical song that belonged to the entire Chinese nation itself.
"Brother, let it go! Kill a Japanese man and reward the ocean with ten yuan, 30 lieutenant, 80 lieutenant, Matsuura's head is worth one thousand oceans!" Sun Liu, who was covered in glamorous face, shouted excitedly, quoting the latest price of the Japanese head one by one.
The reason why Sun Liu was able to resist was that he did not personally rush forward to harvest the Japanese heads representing Guangyang. First of all, this arbitrary battle showed a one-sided trend from the moment it started. Under the rainy night raid of nearly a thousand Chinese cavalry, the officers and soldiers of the 106th Division, who were completely unprepared, had almost no power to resist. Since the beginning of the battle, Sun Liu's troops had not encountered a slightly decent resistance. The battle was so smooth that it was his turn to take the lead as the regiment commander to personally attack the arrows and stones.
The second reason is that Cheng Jiaji is very thoughtful. When Cheng Jiaji and Lieutenant General Huang decided on this heart-breaking assault combat plan of Black Tiger, they thought that if the officers snatched the reward share with the soldiers, it might affect the combat effectiveness. They gave the officers of Liu Tianlong's army a vaccination early. Of course, combining spiritual education with material rewards is the way Cheng Jiaji has always pursued to lead troops. He will never forget to promise that the officers will get a generous amount of funds after the matter is completed. Just because of this situation, the officers such as Sun Liu were embarrassed to compete with their brothers for any credit.
"Ba, sb, sb." Suddenly, accompanied by a dense sound of gunfire, a group of Japanese soldiers guarded several older Japanese officers who seemed to be very rich and powerful. They rushed out of the middle of the camp. There were quite a few Japanese soldiers. There were about sixty or seventy people, and the guns were also very mixed. Many of them used southern pistols specially designed by the Japanese army for generals and officers. When they encountered Chinese cavalry blocking the road, the Japanese soldiers were not entangled, but they were fighting and walking, and they maintained a very neat formation. If necessary, someone would spontaneously stay and drag the Chinese cavalry. Such a behavior was difficult to be conspicuous in the Japanese army that had been in chaos.
Soon, the group of Japanese soldiers rushed to the edge of the camp while the chaos was in trouble, and they were about to emerge from the loose encirclement of the Chinese cavalry. Judging from their direction of action, they must have wanted to rush to Nanchang City to meet with the defenders in the Jinxianmen area.
"Old Jiu, bring your local people with you. Let's take a look. There might be the old turtle of Matsuura in this group of Japanese devils." Although Sun Liu's eyes had grown to the top of his head this time, he didn't look at the Japanese devils like the colonel, Nakasa and others. However, if he could cut off Matsuura's head with his own hands, it would be a glorious matter. As for calling Lieutenant General Matsuura an old turtle, Sun Liu still described it very appropriately. Last time in Wanjialing, the brothers of the Sixty-sixth Army fought to the edge of Matsuura's tent, but the leader of the lieutenant general division came out and broke out. Such shamelessness was rare among Japanese generals.
Chang Jiu, who had been carrying a company to scoop from beginning to end, did not immediately answer his elder brother's words. He whispered to the place where the Japanese army, including Lieutenant General Matsuura, was suspected of being in charge of the Japanese army, and signaled Sun Liu to see it himself.
"Damn it, it's Jiang Dapao again. I can't let me eat meat for this Shaanxi bastard!" The reason why Sun Liu cursed was very simple. Just as he talked to Chang Jiu, Jiang Tao and his people had already taken a step forward and rushed towards the group of Japanese devils. Now it's too late for Sun Liu to intervene. Moreover, although his official rank is higher than Jiang Tao, he is a little frustrated when facing this fierce and fiery Jiang Dapao and the "bad" boys under his command who specialize in cutting Japanese cocks. After all, he is a man who attaches great importance to the work under his crotch. Facing hundreds of "perverts" people who like to use sabers to get in close contact with other people's work, there are really few men in this world who are not panic.
The combat habits of Jiang Tao's subordinates were very different from those from Sun Liu and others from Guandong. Sun Liu and the others shouted and fought happily. However, when Jiang Tao, a northwestern man, fought with the enemy, they quietly stayed in the deadly place to greet him. As soon as they fought, the Japanese army, who had already escaped to the edge of the camp, suffered a great loss. The cavalry's first wave of attacks killed more than a dozen Japanese devils. It must be said that the fighting will of this group of Japanese troops was also strong enough. After being severely damaged by the cavalry, most of these Japanese officers and soldiers did not retreat but advanced, held a stab and rushed towards the cavalry of the Chinese army with their commanding swords.
"Campaign spies come with me, others stay and solve these ignorant Japanese devils." Jiang Tao didn't care much about the dying struggle of dozens of Japanese devils. The shadows he cared about were gradually disappearing in the rainy night under the cover of other Japanese troops. (Piaotian.cn) After spending so much effort to kick the 106th Division's nest. If the main leader was released from his nose, without military law to punish him, Jiang Tao would not be able to let him go. Jiang Tao's judgment was correct. He targeted those shadows, and there was Lieutenant General Junji Matsuura who had broken the record of middle- and long-distance running of Japanese division-level generals.
Under the pursuit of Chinese cavalry, General Junjiro Matsuura ran away with several division officials. Originally, lurking in place was a good way to avoid cavalry pursuit. But the team of Chinese cavalry behind made Junjiro Matsuura, who had always loved his life, dare not make this idea that he seemed too risky, because he was afraid that the Chinese cavalry would search it.
Since he didn't dare to stop, Lieutenant General Matsuura had to keep running forward. When he wanted to come to Xianmen, the Japanese army from the brigade who came to rescue the division headquarters, he would be safe.
Junroro Matsuura, a bold commander who believes in "Fight Firstism", is now rapidly transforming into a loyal believer who "Fast First".
Song Zhong, the second squad leader of the platoon who was unlucky, recalled later: "It was rainy and it was late at night, and the visibility was very low. I took my brothers and chased him to the outside of Jinxian Gate without knowing it. Suddenly, I saw a short and fat living creature in front of me running in a heavy rainy day. After a moment, I rushed up and gave the thing a knife. After I finished cutting it, I realized that I was hit by the head." When I said this to the reporter of the Ta Kung Pao, Song Zhong smiled so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth. Obviously, the hero was still immersed in the joy of flying wealth.
In fact, there is one thing that Song Zhong didn't say thoroughly, that is, he cut down from the back of the Doctor Junjiu Matsuura's back along the crotch. At the last moment of his life, Lieutenant General Matsuura had only one thought in his mind, and it would be great if Oda had asked him to give him an iron guard yesterday.
To be honest, Matsuura's thinking was already out of date. As early as the Battle of Fujinshan, a squadron of the Japanese asked Jiang Tao's troops to cut off the work, some troops from the 13th Division equipped the soldiers with special underwear made of thin steel inner layer to stabilize the morale of the army.
It is said that parochialism is killing people. If Ogisu had not been secretly informed about this matter due to his face, it would have been said that Junroro Matsuura could die more decently. For the entire 106th Division, the division headquarters was attacked by Chinese cavalry, and the division commander Lieutenant General Matsuura was killed. These were just the beginning of a nightmare.
At the same time, the Cavalry Brigade defeated the 106th Division Division's troops. Since the Battle of Nanchang, the South Bank was not so active compared to the Japanese artillery. The artillery units of the 18th Army spoke. One by one, the artillery shells flew over the area still in the hands of the Chinese army and landed on the heads of the Japanese army. Within only half an hour, nearly a thousand Chinese artillery shells fell from the Niuxing Station.
This sudden shelling caused the main force of the Japanese 113th Regiment, which had just gathered up, to return to the army to Jinxian Gate to rescue the division headquarters, to be severely damaged. Bai Xianhao would not miss this opportunity to make achievements. Under the fierce attack of the Chinese army who returned to a brigade, the Japanese army was quickly shot out of Niuxing Station. The same play as Niuxing Station was repeated in the entire Nanchang City at midnight on that day. After the division headquarters was knocked down, the 106th Division, which had lost its unified command, was attacked by the Chinese army fiercely. For a time, the Japanese army was very likely to be squeezed out of Nanchang City by the Chinese army.
According to common sense, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army should not be so bad. But the situation of the 106th Division is a bit different. This reserve division, which has always been known as the "reputation" of the first weak brigade in the Japanese army, is mainly composed of ordinary people from Kumamoto, Osaka, Kagoshima, Miyazaki prefectures, and other ordinary people. Most of the officers and soldiers in this division have a much stronger aura than the spirit of Bushido. If it weren't for the shame of defeat in Seomangalying, these former tertiary industry practitioners would not have been able to fight in the daytime battle.
So buy power. The bloody battle during the day has caused many officers and soldiers of the 106th Division to use up all the evil fires in the past few months, and then continue to fight at night, which is a bit of a slap. The division headquarters was taken out, and the whereabouts of the division commander were unknown (Cheng Jiaji explained in advance that Matsuura was a high-end product, and the body was to be brought back for an exhibition.), and was suddenly bombarded by the opponent. The shouts of Chinese troops were shouting and killing in front of and behind. These attacks made the morale of the 106th Division extremely depressed. Many Japanese soldiers passed through Wanjialing and even left the troops and fled from Nanchang City without authorization.
"Stop attacking the Japanese positions. Order the troops to clean up the fortifications and make every effort to eliminate the remaining Japanese soldiers in the area that our army has recaptured, so as not to let one person escape." When the Chinese army gained the upper hand and many officers and soldiers were clamoring to drive the Japanese out of the city, Bai Xianhao, the highest commander on the north bank of the Ganjiang River, ordered the troops to move into the defense order.
This order seems to be a missing fighter. Bai Xianhao is actually just accustomed to the established policy of the Ninth War Zone. The purpose of the Nanchang defense war was to consume the essence and blood of the Japanese army in the Nanchang urban area little by little to disrupt the entire strategic deployment of the Japanese army. Based on this alone, Bai Xianhao would not seriously drive the Japanese out. Besides, Bai Xianhao pulled all the troops in Jiangbei up. In fact, it was not very possible to gradually stabilize the position of the Japanese army.
The remnants of the corps left Nanchang City. At this time, the Japanese army had been squeezed into a corner of the northeast of the city, but the shrinking of territory also greatly increased the "population" density on the Japanese position, and if they fought, they would be head-on. This loss-making transaction was something that Bai Xianhao, who had obtained the true teachings of his clan, known as a military strategist, was unwilling to do. Of course, if it was like Fujinshan, who had to fight hard, it would be a different matter.
Although the Chinese army stopped attacking, the gunshots of frequent fireflies still rang over Nanchang for a whole night. After dawn, the Japanese troops inside and outside the city resumed contact with each other. The third chief of staff of the division, Colonel Shenjingping, who survived leaving the division headquarters due to the incident, temporarily commanded the entire division. At 9:00 a.m. on March 16, Shenjingping3 sent a long telegram to the 11th Army Command in Wuhan regarding the attack on the division headquarters, the disappearance of the division commander and the current situation in Nanchang City.
At this time, several newspapers in Chongqing had already released the number of Japanese Lieutenant General Junroro Matsuura was shot dead by our Chinese army. The death of Junroro Matsuura and the failure of the 106th Division were equivalent to a loud slap of Lieutenant General Gangmura, who was the main attacking force.
Under the criticism of the Tokyo Base Camp, which was so angry that we were always stubborn, Gangmeng Ningji, who had been used to it, could no longer hold on. At 11:00 am on March 16, Gangmeng issued an order as the commander of the 11th Army, to transfer the 9th Division to Nanchang City as the main attacking force directly attacking Nanchang City, while the 106th Division retreated to Lehua to carry out the third reorganization within half a year. This was the result of Gangmeng's efforts. If the original intention of the Tokyo Base Camp, the 106th Division, a shameful force that could be called the "Imperial Army", would be disbanded.
At 5:00 p.m. on March 16, the 9th Division, which was originally stationed in Wanjiabu, was driving outside Nanchang City to ensure that the 106th Division had no worries. Before taking the defense, the commander of the 9th Division Ryosuke Yoshizuru also took officers above the corps commander of the entire division to "visit" the ruins of the 106th Division Division headquarters at Jinxianmen.
