Section 7 The Battle of Northern Hubei Encirclement (11)
The stars were twinkling, and under the dim moonlight, a long line of figures were moving south quickly. The bayonet reflected the cold and cold light in the moonlight. The army was full of heavy gasps for a long time, and the footsteps woke up the sleeping earth.

The troops stopped in the early morning, and about twenty minutes later, the troops started to advance again. Fumio Tachiha stood on a small hill, and the telescope observed the dark houses opposite. According to the vanguard's report, there were about a company of Chinese troops in the small village opposite, and the situation was unclear further away. However, he believed that there were many Chinese troops here, far exceeding the reinforcements he led.
Turning around and going down to the hill, the officers of the corps were squatting halfway. Fangfu Lihua spread a map on the ground and assigned it to the brigades. The Chinese army launched a counterattack on the middle line, and the battlefield situation took a sharp turn.
The hunter suddenly realized that he was the prey. This huge gap in his heart made the entire Japanese army feel a little frightened. After the 6th Division and the 17th Division crossed the Han River east, the 13th Division held on Yicheng and struggled to resist the attack from the 101st Army. But this evening, Yamamoto's troops on the southern front were broken by the Chinese army. Yamamoto led the remnants to retreat into Zhengji and were surrounded by the pursuit of the Chinese army. The southern front had actually collapsed, and the back of the entire division was exposed to the guns of the Chinese army.
Tachihua was not worried about how many Chinese troops there were on the other side. Since the war started, the 13th Division has always won the more with fewer troops. Even today, one-third of the troops were recruits, and the Chinese Army would never be able to force the troops for more than 80 kilometers and seven hours.
"You guys, after the attack was launched, the troops continued to attack, attacking until Zheng Ji, destroying the China army in front of you, opening up contact with Yamamoto, and without a retreat order. Please!" Tachihua gave a deep salute to all the officers.
"The imperial martial arts fortune lasted for a long time." Everyone replied in a low voice.
"Fifteen minutes later, start the attack. Please go back and prepare."
Late at night, Cao Zhenduo was awakened by a violent shaking. He opened his eyes and entered his eyes with the adjutant's somewhat panicked face. Then he heard a burst of gunfire. He scolded with some displeasure: "What's the panic! Isn't this kid Yamamoto wants to run away? Isn't it enough to just hit him back?"
"The division commander, not Yamamoto, but reinforcements from the 13th Division. The 45th Brigade has collapsed and the Japanese have already attacked outside the village." The adjutant and the guard put on military uniforms on Cao Zhenduo. When Cao Zhenduo heard that it was the 13th Division, his sleepiness was thrown out of the sky. He jumped out of bed and ran out of the door without even having time to put on his horse boots.
The gunshots and explosions were already outside the village. Cao Zhenduo ran into the temporary command post. When he entered the door, he saw Chief of Staff Di Minzhai already inside and was making calls.
"What's the situation? How many Japanese people come here? Where is Wang Xisu?" Cao Zhenduo hurriedly raised a series of questions.
"I don't know, the Japanese suddenly appeared," Di Minzhai put down the phone and replied: "Judged from the gunshots, here, here, and here are all attacked by the Japanese."
Di Minzhai's fingers pointed at the map, and the first line of defense was the Japanese who quickly hit outside the division command, indicating that the peripheral line of defense had completely collapsed.
"Where is Wang Xisu? Where is he?" Cao Zhenduo was extremely angry. Now he wanted to tear this person to pieces.
"I don't know." Di Minzhai was also very anxious. In the dark night, the enemy situation was unclear, and even if he counterattacked, he didn't know how to start. What's more, the 45th Brigade had to face Zheng Ji.
The gunshots became more and more intense in the dark night, and the explosions were getting closer and closer. The Japanese were extremely bold, divided into dozens of strands, using various gaps to penetrate them, shooting everywhere, creating chaos.
The situation was like a bunch of messes, and Cao Zhenduo couldn't figure it out. A ball of wind blew in from outside the door, and the division guard battalion ran in.
"Teacher Commander, go quickly!" After the battalion commander said, his legs were weak and he fell to the ground. Cao Zhenduo's adjutant was quick in his eyes and hands, and he held him up. Cao Zhenduo then realized that the battalion commander was covered in blood, and there were three bullet holes on his body, and blood was still coming out.
The gunshots were getting closer, and the smoke brought blood. The gunshots were moving from the west to the village. Cao Zhenduo was a little panicked and ordered before he could think: "The division headquarters immediately moves and retreats to Guojiagang, North."
After saying that, he took the horse boots from the guard and put them on. Di Minzhai was about to dissuade him, but Cao Zhenduo had already run outside the door. He had to sigh and get up to follow, but then turned around and grabbed the phone: "Braft Commander Zhao, the division headquarters was attacked, and the 45th Brigade has collapsed. You can immediately send a battalion to counterattack."
After putting down the phone, he grabbed the phone and asked the military headquarters to report to Mo Yushuo. Mo Yushuo's angry voice almost broke his eardrums.
"What is Cao Zhenduo doing? Counterattack immediately! The Japanese will never have many reinforcements! They are just creating chaos now and disrupting chaos! Organize counterattack immediately! Reiterate again! No retreat is allowed! Those who violate the order will engage in military law!"
After putting down the phone, he immediately sent someone to find Cao Zhenduo. Then he thought about it, grabbed a 39-type semi-automatic rifle, rushed to the staff in the house and said, "Director Yuan stayed, ensure communication contact, and everyone else came with me."
The guard squad has been taken away by Cao Zhenduo, and Di Minzhai led a counterattack force composed of staff, chefs and health soldiers to launch a counterattack in the direction of fierce gunfire.
Not long after, a group of defeated soldiers ran to him. Di Minzhai stood in the middle of the road, drew out his pistol and shot three times at the sky, shouting loudly: "Don't retreat! Counterattack!"
The soldiers following him raised their guns together, pointed them at the fleeing soldiers, and shouted in unison: "Go back! Go back!"
The defeated soldier looked at Di Minzhai with murderous aura silly, not knowing what to do. In the fire, Di Minzhai was really anxious and shot two soldiers in front of him twice, and they fell to the ground in a flash.
The gunshot woke up the soldiers standing stupidly, and an officer ran up from behind panting: "Brothers! Corps Commander Sun is leading the brothers to block the Japanese! Let's go to reinforce them! Let's go!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the gunfire. Some of the defeated soldiers also shouted: "Eighteen years later, another hero! Let's go!"
The defeated soldiers followed the officer in chaos towards the direction of gunfire. At this time, a burst of gunfire came from the side, and several grenades fell from the team, two grenades exploded in the crowd, and several figures flew into the air. After the smoke of gunfire, a circle of corpses fell to the ground.
"rush!"
Without waiting for the defeated soldiers to react, Di Minzhai rushed forward to face the screaming Japanese. The Type 39 rifle in his hand spewed out flames and killed the Japanese who were rushing in front. The two Japanese rushed forward with bright bayonets.
In the fire, they had already seen clearly that the officer in front of them was the core of the soldiers. As long as they hit him, the soldiers would probably completely lose confidence in fighting.
Di Minzhai used his strength to break the lightning-like bayonet. Before he could turn the gun, the second bayonet came in front of him. He had no time to react. At this moment, the sound of a Type 39 rifle came from behind him. The two Japanese fell to the ground. His body flashed and immediately flashed to the side.
A group of soldiers rushed past him, and his guard ran to him and covered him with his body.
"Boom!" "Boom!" Several grenades exploded on the opposite side. Before the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the soldiers rushed in, and the fierce gunfire sounded like beans.
The roads in the village were narrow and so many troops could not be expanded at all. Di Minzhai called a staff officer and asked him to take a few people around the flanks, and then he took a group of soldiers to go around the village and start fighting back from outside the village.
The squadron's counterattack had an effect. The Japanese offensive was curbed and gradually expelled from the village. Then they were blocked by Di Minzhai who was around outside the village. After a fierce battle, the Japanese were all wiped out in the fields outside the village.
The crisis in the division headquarters was resolved, but the crisis in the entire 16th Division was not resolved. The village where the division headquarters was located was not the main attack direction of Fuka Fumio Tachibana, but the main attack direction was a little further north.
Tachiha Yoshio attacked Zheng Ji resolutely and tenaciously, breaking a bloody road from the defense line of the 45th Brigade and rushing into the defense line of the 46th Brigade. The 46th Brigade received the notice from Di Minzhai and was ready for battle. The Japanese army did not expect to continue the raid, but took a strong attack, and both sides launched in the dark. At this time, Yamamoto, in Zheng Ji, organized a forward team to attack the 46th Brigade. After two attacks, a gap was finally opened. Yamamoto immediately led his troops to retreat north through the gap without any hesitation.
Yamamoto's decision was very correct. With less than ten minutes of passing by his troops, fierce gunfire came from the west and south at the same time, and the squadron launched a full-scale counterattack.
After the initial chaos, the 16th Division has gradually stabilized its position. Mo Yushuo urgently dispatched the military guard regiment to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army. To the south east, Mou Tingfang commanded the 94th Army to launch an attack. The main 5th Division and the temporary 35th Division attacked fiercely from the south and north, while the 79th Division detoured the Laoheyan north of Zhengji and rushed straight to the retreating Japanese army.
The real danger of Yoshio Tachiha came. The samurai from Sendai showed their strength. They fought to the death without retreating. Each position had to be repeatedly fought until they were all killed in battle before they were occupied by the squadron.
The cooked duck ran away, and from Guo Jian to Mo Yushuo was furious. Before dawn, the order to arrest Cao Zhenduo and Wang Xisu was issued from Guo Jian's headquarters to promote Di Minzhai's acting commander of the 16th Division and the deputy commander of the 45th Brigade Jie Weizhi.
It was a chaotic night, and a bloody night.
Cao Zhenduo and Wang Xisu were arrested and immediately spread throughout the troops. This kind of killing generals at the last minute had never happened before. From senior generals to low-level officers, they were all trembling and dared not be afraid of being timid.
The sound of killing was not extinguished all night, and fierce battles were everywhere; in the fields, in villages; under the ridges of the fields, beside the streams; soldiers from the two countries fought to the death, and each thatched hut had to be obtained through bloody battles.
The beastly howling, the screams of death, the shouts of charge, and the hysterical screams, mixed with gunfire and cannons, echoing in the fierce battlefield.
