Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 648 Breakthrough (25)

At this moment, Ouyang Yun did not guess the real combat intention of the Japanese army.He instinctively thought that the devils were coming for him, but it was due to a kind of narcissism. He subconsciously thought that only he was worthy enough to make the Japanese army adopt such a heavy siege strategy.

After the annihilation battle at Pukou Wharf, the 26th Division immediately began to retreat.At the beginning of the retreat, Liu Yuqing stayed in the vanguard.After receiving the order, he immediately led the troops to retreat. The 26th Division quickly moved towards Chu County, and soon, he and Ouyang Yun noticed something was wrong with the Japanese army.

Because, after these devils found them, they did not catch up, but headed towards Wujiang.

Seeing this, Ouyang Yun immediately shouted: "Stop! Stop! Stay where you are." Then, he led someone to find Liu Yuqing and said, "Mr. Liu, it seems that the Japanese are not targeting us. If I can guess Yes, they should have gone to Wujiang to rescue the 18th Division!"

Liu Yuqing said: "The Japanese are doing the right thing. It can kill two birds with one stone. They can not only save the 18th Division, but also occupy the Wujiang River, cutting off our retreat. If my prediction is not bad, after occupying the Wujiang River, they will definitely The troops are divided into three groups, attacking Chu County all the way, staying at Wujiang River all the way, and attacking He County all the way!"

Ouyang Yun: "I have just sent electricity to Shan Renxiong and Fang Shuhong, and told them to join us immediately. We finally caught the opportunity to surround the 18th Division. If we can't eat it all at once, how can we be worthy of those brothers who died in Nanjing?"

Liu Yuqing was a little worried: "The Japanese army still has four divisions in Nanjing City. If all four divisions land here, we will not be able to compete with them at all. I'm just worried, don't steal chickens and lose money."

"How do you know if you don't hit it?" Ouyang Yun said resolutely.

"Okay, then fight!"

In Bailinpu, the Japanese army retreated in a panic, and the formation was no longer as strict as it was at the beginning. The 18th Division has insufficient walking trucks, so all auxiliary arms, including the 12th Engineering Wing and the 12th Supply Wing, are all on foot.As the main force, the three regiments 55, 56, and 124 that accompanied the army all took vehicles. Among them, the 55th and 56 regiments located in the rear of the large army suffered heavy losses because they were under the care of the two heavy artillery regiments.

The foot formation of the 18th Division, including the 12th Engineering Corps and the 12th Supplies Corps, among them, the Supplies Corps was arranged in the penultimate column of the team because it was responsible for taking care of the pack horse convoy, while the 22nd Cavalry Brigade was As a drag unit is responsible for dragging.Ushishima Sadao's arrangement was originally quite appropriate, but now because of his retreat order, the entire team fell into chaos.

Give the order to retreat, and the 22nd Cavalry Battalion ran very fast. Of course, no matter how fast they ran, they were only the first to enter the ambush of the No. 60 Division.

The avenue from Bailinpu to Wujiang is said to be a provincial road, but in fact it is barely enough to pass two trucks at the same time.On both sides of the road, outside the road protection forest, there is a ditch with a width of more than one meter on one side, and the other side is directly connected to the rice field.The 12th Regiment of the Supplies has more than 500 livestock, and almost each of these livestock is pulling a cart. As a result, it has become a daunting task to quickly complete the U-turn under such road conditions.

The 55th and 56th Wings suffered heavy casualties, which annoyed Ueno Kameura, the brigade commander of the 23rd Brigade.The Xuebing Army's artillery fire was sharp, blowing up no less than fifty trucks into roadblocks. Under such circumstances, Major General Ueno made a decisive decision and immediately ordered everyone to get off the vehicles and retreat towards Bailinpu on foot.However, the road was blocked by the pack horses of the 12th Regiment of the Supplies. There were more and more people, the road conditions became more and more crowded, and the order became more and more chaotic, but it was still impossible to pass quickly.In desperation, he had no choice but to order Masushi Kawauchi, the captain of the baggage corps: "No more baggage, first withdraw to Bailinpu."

Kawauchi Mashishi didn't dare to disobey, so he had to order to give up his luggage and go into battle lightly.In this way, after being blocked for more than 20 minutes, Ushishima Sadao's retreat order was effectively implemented.At this time, the Okayama Brigade under the 124th Wing, which was in charge of the rear, had been eaten up by the tripartite cooperation between the Xuebing Army Tank Unit, the [-]th Division, and the [-]rd Division.

The captain of the 124th regiment, Xiaojie Fangsong Zhongzuo, had no choice but to leave another brigade to take on the sniper mission.

At this moment, the 22nd Battalion of the Japanese Cavalry was about to pass through the ambush area of ​​the [-]th Division.

Lin Baiyin has a big appetite.The Japanese army is now in defeat, and it is the weakest time.The so-called taking advantage of your illness to kill you, Lin Baiyin felt that even if the entire 18th division enters the ambush section at this moment, he can still inflict heavy damage, and persist until the three divisions are encircled.It's a pity that the Japanese army's heavy soldiers dragged him down and blocked the road for more than 20 minutes. In this way, when he felt that he couldn't fight, only more than two thousand devils poured into the ambush section.

Lin Baiyin looked back and forth with the binoculars, and regretfully picked up the walkie-talkie and called the artillery.Then, without waiting for the artillerymen to show their strength again, he yelled, "Hit!" and fired the first shot.

Although the 18th Division encountered an ambush, and the 55th and 56th Wings suffered heavy losses, the 22nd Cavalry Battalion did not even get the smoke because it was dragged to the rear of the team.Therefore, Lieutenant Masaru Koike, the captain, felt very regretful for a time, feeling that he had lost an opportunity to show his bravery.When he received the order to retreat, although he resolutely carried out the order, he was a little absent-minded. At one point, he asked the troops to slow down and wait and see, in case the division commander suddenly withdrew the order and he ran too far , Another chance to fight.

He didn't maintain such a leisurely attitude for too long, and soon, he felt abnormal from the sound coming from behind - from the explosion, he heard that the enemy's artillery was not small; In the sound of killing, he could hear that there were many enemies, and then he concluded that this should be an ambush planned by the Chinese people for a long time, which made him immediately cautious and began to worry about the safety of Bailinpu.So he immediately ordered a full-speed evacuation.Of course, it was too late by then.

In the sky, the east gradually brightened, and the vision gradually became clearer, which gradually replaced the reeds in the rice fields, and Xiaochi suddenly became uneasy.

This is a good place to ambush!Such an idea came into his mind, when suddenly he heard shouts of killing, and then, his forehead hurt, his eyes darkened, and he dismounted from the horse, turning into a corpse dragged by the horse.

However, if you were intentional and unintentional, although the 2000th Division left two regiments in Pukou, which directly reduced its combat power by one-third, after all, there were still more than 3000 people, and the devils only had more than 4000.On this ultra-long ambush line of nearly [-] meters, more than [-] people suddenly launched an attack, and only one round of shooting and bombing caused more than half of the casualties to these two thousand devils.

As soon as the guns rang out here, Ushishima Sadao immediately paled in shock: "Bage! Where did these Chinese people come from? Isn't the main force of the Xuebing army attacking Dangtu? Could it be the Chinese people from Jiangpu? That's not right, how many people are there in total? How can they mobilize such a large army to ambush our army?" When he first learned that he was ambushed, Ushishima Sadao didn't panic too much although he was upset.In his mind, what if he was ambushed?As long as they can withdraw to Bailinpu, then once they persist until dawn, they will be able to get support from the sky. At that time, the Chinese's artillery and tank advantages will disappear.In this way, it will not be a problem for them to stick to it, and they can even hold off the current enemy. At that time, as long as the support troops in Nanjing rush over, they can bite the enemy back. Another army came out from behind, and it was obvious that they had ambushed there early, which made him have to think about it from the worst angle.

The back road was cut off, and they were encircled on three sides. Now if they want to break out of the siege, they have to wade through the rice fields on the north side of the road.There, it is the direction of Da Annan.However, the artillery fire of the Chinese people flew over from there. According to common sense, there must be troops guarding the artillery there.So, whether the gap can be opened from there is still unknown.It seems that there is only one choice now, continue to retreat towards Bai Linpu, and at the same time let Nochi Junhao's brigade who stayed behind Bai Linpu come to meet him.

The besieged Ushishima Sadao began to desperately try to survive, while Wu Keren who surrounded them was also caught in a dilemma at the moment.

The 18th Division entered the encirclement a bit late, which directly led to the failure of the plan he and Ouyang Yun agreed to resolve the battle before dawn.

For the Nanjing garrison, the Japanese aviation was always a sharp sword hanging over their heads.Once dawn, this sword will appear. At that time, even if the 18th Division can be wiped out as desired, the second sequence will be completely exposed to the Japanese army. Bite, then before the night comes, the second sequence may be in danger of being besieged by the Japanese army at any time.After all, Bailinpu is only so far away from Nanjing, and the Japanese army holds the overall initiative in the sea, land and air in the Nanjing area, so it is not a problem to quickly mobilize troops.

Wu Keren was thinking about it. After a staff officer hung up the phone call from the front-line troops, he reported to him: "Secretary, the little devils have strengthened the frontal forces. The [-]th Division has suffered a lot of casualties. Commander Lin asked for instructions, should we let them go first?" Go to Bailinpu, then surround it on all sides, and slowly consume the Japanese army's combat power."

Wu Keren immediately denied without thinking: "No, tell Commander Lin that we must hold on. The longer the delay is, the worse it will be for us. Once the Pukou Wharf is breached by the Japanese army, the Japanese army will continue to cross the river. Not to mention continuing to besiege the 18th Division, we may even be surrounded. Tell Master Fu and Lin to launch a fierce attack before the little devil's fighter plane joins the battle. We must eat the 18th Division as soon as possible, otherwise, Not only us, but the entire Nanjing garrison will fall into a passive position!" After speaking, he added: "Anyone who calls will reply according to my instruction just now, and I will go to the front line now!"

"Yes!"
