Netizen Upload Chapter 49: The Frenzy Comes from the East (2)
.The entire retreat of the troops arranged by the New Twenty Army on the Guangdong-Guangxi border was so smooth that most of the officers in the military headquarters felt unexpected. The Japanese changed the infinite "greed" they showed in pursuit of war results in the past. In addition to the Japanese who were fighting for the Japanese's expedition to most of Xing Yusheng's New 152 Division when retreating, they also held the Japanese to chase the Japanese.
At a glance, the Japanese devils who thought they would attack Yulin and Luchuan were also advancing towards Pu Bai. What is even more suspicious is that the Japanese troops even turned a blind eye to the scattered officers and soldiers who were transferred to the New Twenty Army, which was close to him. The Japanese's excessive "tolerance" fully confirmed the initial speculation of the New Twenty Army's command of the tactical purpose of the Japanese army's sudden entry into the five genus Yulin. That is, this big mass seems to be coming in full force, but they are just passing gods with limited harm.
After further confirming that this huge and invincible Japanese army was not the one who came to kick the New Twenty Army, Cheng Jiaji, Qian Shen and others immediately fell into new worries. Everyone was a discerning person, and it was almost impossible to hide the situation once the combat operations of the large corps were launched. Looking around in Guangxi, there was only one target worthy of the Japanese army's mobilization of two divisions, that was, they were grinding the 20th Japanese army little by little on the beach.
The main force of the remnants of the First Army. "The Japanese are really tolerant. Seeing the tens of thousands of soldiers dying on Qinzhou beach, they are almost rushing into the sea to feed sharks, but they would rather have the elderly and weak to make up for their numbers. However, the two divisions in the early cats in Guangzhou Bay are still motionless! It's the Central Plains Rule Yi!" With the understanding of the opponent from the life-and-death battle on the Qin River, Cheng Jiaji revealed the name of the "culprit" who caused the current huge crisis.
"If this Japanese army occupied Pubei and controlled Lingshan, they could fully grasp the initiative in the battlefield. Next, whether the Japanese were sending troops to the west of Yong and forcing Nanning, or crossing the Yongjiang River with their main force and heading north to Liuzhou, they could join the 55th Division in northern Vietnam. They formed an iron wall encirclement for the 200,000 elite troops gathered in Qinzhou City." Thanks to Qian Shen, while taking a cold breath, he made the guess that it would definitely become a reality, and he said so clearly.
"Tele to Xing Yusheng, ask him to block me hard in Nanliujiang first, and try his best to get some reaction time for the gang. He sent another telegram to the troops stationed in Rong County, Beiliu, and the local security teams, and the militia command center, urging them to rush to gather outside Yulin City as soon as possible, and clearly told the captains of each unit not to be afraid of running away to death. One person will die now. In the future, ten or eight fewer deaths will be killed in the future. In the name of the Commissioner's Office, the county magistrates of each county will be ordered to summon all soldiers in the township in their respective jurisdictions to stand by in the county town." The soldiers in the township are a characteristic word of China in the 1930s and 1940s. Since the Republic of China, the enemy has been frequently fought, and there is no day or stopping civil war. In consuming national strength, the mountains and rivers are in trouble.
At that time, a large number of people were created. For various reasons, they put down their guns and returned to their hometown to make a living. For local officials, these outlaws who have experienced life and death in the military were simply bombs one by one. Therefore, these soldiers in the real society were full of frustration and were always a special group of people suppressed by the official forces in the local area who were responsible for maintaining order. Cheng Jiaji resolutely mobilized them, regardless of the sequelae that might arise from these resentment. This alone shows how much Cheng Jiaji attaches importance to this battle, not to mention that according to his order, the New 152nd Division would have to fight a bloody battle by the Nanliujiang River.
During the war, the efficiency of both sides was generally fast-paced. The county magistrates here were already busy putting "tigers out of the cage", and the Japanese were chasing them to the Nanliu River.
On July 2, at 1:00 p.m., Dali Town on the west bank of Nanliujiang River.
Now, on the two sides of the south stream with Dali Town as the center point of the west coast, the Japanese army has asked a brigade's vanguard to fight across the river with the New 152nd Division. With the equipment and personnel quality of the New 152nd Division, it is natural to imagine that the scene is beautiful, but there is no ferry and I dare not swim across the Japanese on a large scale at the dense muzzle of the other side, but in a hurry, I can't fly" the river.
"Do you send more troops to patrol upstream and downstream?" In the new 20th Army, the vibrant emerging army, the most important thing is the young officer who claims to be "boiled in blood" and "talented". Of course, the former is mostly worthy of the name of the horoscope, while the latter can only vary from person to time. And this deputy chief of staff of the division, Lieutenant Colonel Ning Jingyu, is a recognized leader of the young officers of the New 152nd Division.
"Xiao Ning, your idea is good, but there are more and more Japanese on the other side. Our division's foundation is already weak, so we can't dare to disperse our troops anymore." His status is rising day by day, and it has not affected Xing Yusheng's personality. Even when he refuses subordinates and suggestions, he will always be polite.
What does it mean that the troops cannot be dispersed? The four-kilometer river surface that can only be guarded by five or six thousand people, crossing half of it and attacking it, is enough, how can it be short of troops? It is not that I am afraid that when I retreat, there are too many troops to patrol the river, and it is too late to fully gather. I think that in fact, I have seen through the Ning Jingyu who saw Xing Yusheng's plan. While saying that he was aggressive, he was thinking about how to bypass this old boss who only knew how to "escape from the wind" in his mind. Don't look at it, Ning Jingyu
However, the deputy chief of staff, who has poor actual power, is only more powerful than the commanders of the young officers, if you really want to talk about it, his energy is only even better than those commanders of the commander. Of course, what Ning Jingyu has decided to do is undoubtedly a matter of acting beyond his authority. If he really wants to be serious, he will be punished by military law. But once people like Ning Jingyu think that something is beneficial to the country and nation, they will not consider their personal future, life and other gains and losses.
This "parametric" and "arrogance" that make people feel moved can be said to be a major "common problem" among the young officers of the New Twenty Army who are determined to support the country. The main responsibility for this phenomenon is strictly speaking, Cheng Jiaji, who emphasizes too much national mission and spirit of sacrifice.
As the riverside Zhengsan came to the front enemy in person, the Nanliujiang blocked the battle immediately bid farewell to the previous polite and polite style of heavy artillery that continued to fire rapidly, and unscrupulously lined up a row of chariots used as "self-propelled artillery" by the riverside, hundreds of dense light and heavy machine guns that were spitting out flames at all times, and even a few Japanese light bombers were added to the blue sky later. The riverside Zhengsan set out the strongest lineup he could discharge, trying to firmly stick to the opponent's sight to cover his dispatch to the downstream to swim through the ground.
The team, the riverside moves, did lack some creativity, but when there was no ship available for a while, he had no choice but to cross the river. The fierce and extremely firepower of the Japanese made the combat power only average. The New 152nd Division was under unprecedented tremendous pressure. Xing Yusheng, who did not dare to retreat without permission, had to grit the bullet and fight. It was also a loss that the river water was the best, avoiding being face-to-face attacks by the Japanese army. Otherwise, the New 152nd Division could have been able to hold on to such a strong firepower shot for so long.
The situation has stabilized at least. After realizing it, Xing Yusheng also found that his entire battalion of troops was missing in the reserve team. Before he could hold Ning Jingyu, the initiator, responsible, there were noisy gunshots in the downstream area that was not after he had previously drawn the patrol range. There was nothing to say. Send the troops immediately to intercept them!
The Japanese side, which was defeated, no longer insisted on the tactic of swiming in the roundabout way. Because this would certainly allow the passive lengthening of the Chinese blocking front and weaken the defense's troops density. This would create a very favorable situation for the attack, but it was a "long-term effect" that would be difficult to achieve without three or four hours. But at this moment, nothing is more adorable than time for the third lieutenant general of the Riverside who is keen on for a long time.
The Japanese army went crazy. In some areas, they used this firepower attack to attack all the ammunition they brought. Xing Yusheng, who had received the order of defending the 18th Army's New 120 Division and the military headquarters, had red eyes and filled the regiment battalions into the riverside trenches that were destined to be unfulfilled.
Xing Yusheng's determination is commendable, but this kind of battle that does not care about casualties is obviously not something that the New 152nd Division, which has only been established for half a year, can afford it. Two hours after the war started, the most dangerous situation occurred. A company remnants that had lost more than half of them collectively withdrew from the battle and "retreated" behind them. Objectively speaking, these dozens of soldiers who were slightly injured fell down when all the officers were killed. To be honest, they have done their best, and they are thinking that they can only leave the terrifying battlefield that makes them mentally collapsed. If they really want to send a few people to stop and persuade them, they may not turn around and fight again.
But all this can only be assumed. Before Xing Yusheng arrived at the scene with the guards, Ning Jingyu, who had arrived first, had already led the law enforcement team to execute forty-seven "escape" soldiers on the spot. The heads of the seven or eight people in the head were still picked up on the bamboo pole. It was obvious that these heads were prepared to be displayed for public display.
I saw the bloody scene in front of me.
"You..." Xing Yusheng, who had been a good man for half his life, had the urge to turn his guns at his subordinates for the first time.
"The teacher, they escaped at the last minute, and they were still alive." Although Ning Jingyu was speaking hard, even though he was a man of a stern heart, he killed dozens of his brothers in one go. If he didn't feel any serene in his heart, he was lying to himself. However, Ning Jingyu, who was an exiled student from the Northeast more than two years ago, did this. If he did not decisively deal with these deserters and shocked the ever-influential morale, once a chain reaction occurred, not only would the entire division collapse on the spot, but the entire battle situation would also be affected. For this, Ning Jingyu felt that it would be worth it to let his brothers shoot black guns after this battle.
"Put down those heads." In fact, Xing Yusheng came with the guard and was prepared to kill one person when he had no choice but to kill him. However, Ning Jingyu's behavior of killing him without asking any questions was too great to make Xing Yusheng's psychological regret, which was so great that he could not convince himself to indulge Ning Jingyu to implement this last step.
"Secretary, you either shoot or let us go. One thing is to worry, I will send these heads to various positions and go to the position to fight the Japanese." From Ning Jingyu's words above, the level of the military rank and the size of the military post are no longer important, and it is comparable to whose belief is stronger.
Xing Yusheng, who was inferior to others in his will and beliefs, was defeated. Ning Jingyu and several young officers in the law enforcement team that were consistent with his ideas, carried bamboo poles with human heads and rode away.
"Ba!Ba!Ba!Ba!" While venting his anger at the air, a thought flashed through Xing Yusheng's mind: Can we defeat the "beast" only if we are more brutal than the "beast"? If that is the case, won't we become "beasts" ourselves!
Putting aside morality and human nature considerations, Ning Jingyu's timely "tyranny" can be said to "save" the crumbling front of the New 152nd Division. From the root, the reason why the officers and soldiers of the New 152nd Division are only afraid and cannot have much desire to resist. With the war-time double pay within the New 20th Army, the usual military pay is sufficient according to the season, good food, generous favors and other generous and complete supply systems, so that the officers and soldiers have almost no resentment on weekdays. Of course, they have a great effect on their pride as a member of the New 20th Army. From a deeper level, this means that the New 20th Army has several essential elements as a complete private army.
No matter what, the New 152nd Division supported the reinforcements at the moment.
With the arrival of Japanese troops, the battles on the Nanliu River were getting bigger and bigger, and the front line was also extended again and again. When the sun was heading west, with its absolute advantage in individual combat capabilities and weapons and equipment, after several fierce battles, the 12th Division of the Japanese army finally established a large-scale bridgehead position on the west bank of the Nanliu River. Although the two armies would have a desperate attempt to fight for bridge positions, those with some military knowledge can see that the 12th Division, which was once a member of the powerful Kwantung Army, had an irreversible momentum across the Nanliu River.
However, this dusk and the dark night that was about to come were not the Japanese. Under the illumination of the sunset, not only did the main force of the New Twenty Army, which had been arranged, attacked from Yulin, but even the large group of New Twenty Army troops who rushed from Lingshan, who had rushed to Nalin less than ten miles from Dali Town.
