Chapter 913 Fire Horse Array
The news leaked very quickly.
In less than half a day.
The Wuhan Provisional Government learned about the news that Liu Xiang and Feng Tiankui died in his country.
In Yongzhou, Sichuan, white soul banners were hung all over the city, and many people spontaneously put on mourning clothes.
Even the Japanese knew that their morning bombing successfully destroyed the command center of the 66th Army.
The news reached the northern line of Teng County, and the temporary command of the Second Army.
Nishio Suzuo and Okamura Yasuji were cheering.
Matsui Min was a little confused. Judging from the two of them, it seemed that they had completely destroyed the Sichuan Army.
"His Excellency Commander, the Sichuan Army has not given up on resistance yet. We are still making progress very slowly. It is not time for victory yet?"
"Matsui Kun, you don't understand the Sichuan Army!"
“How to say it?”
"The Sichuan Army has many factions, and each unit fights on its own. A group of scattered sands. Liu Xiang uses the support of the National Government to fight and intimidate in Sichuan. It took more than ten years of the civil war to become the head of various factions and is also the leader of the largest warlord force of the Sichuan Army. Only he can integrate the Sichuan Army. Liu Xiang was killed by our Great Japanese Imperial Army plane. The National Government will dismember and divide the Sichuan Army, and the debris will be swallowed. The confidant of our Great Japanese Imperial Army is gone!"
Faced with the Kawa Army who have won many battles, Nishio Suzuo or Okamura Yasuji never dared to be careless.
Any information about the design of Sichuan Army's intelligence, background, generals and other aspects can be read in detail.
Especially the series of reports on the internal structure and contradictions of the Sichuan Army by Eiko Yamada.
It makes them feel like they have a treasure.
In order to rescue Itagaki, he fought hard with the Sichuan army one day and one night.
The abominable Sichuan Army, the damn mine formation, is everywhere in the tunnel.
A sneak attack day and night.
Everything is combined into a weird tactic.
Every step forward has to pay a huge price, and the pursuit of the troops attacking the flanks is even more expensive.
The Imperial Army suffered heavy casualties.
If they were not in a hurry to rescue Itagaki Heavy Force Group, they would have stopped the attack temporarily and waited until the weather improved.
The newly opened 12th Division was better off.
If the three divisions responsible for the frontal attack were immediately reorganized, four brigades would not be able to be organized.
"The iron barrel formation set up by the Sichuan Army, which was defending head-on, cannot be broken even if it is fought. In order to make the Itagaki heavy army group, is it worth it for several divisions in the northern line to break so many warriors?"
"Matsui, don't be impatient. Information from all parties has confirmed the deaths of Liu and Feng. We have already won. I believe that the Sichuan Army on the opposite side will retreat without fighting!"
The news of Feng and Liu's death was confirmed.
Both the Central Front Army and the North China Front Army sent telegrams to celebrate.
The Second Army and the divisions were cheering.
Even the naval planes in the sky ended the bombing mission ahead of schedule.
They are going back to celebrate.
"Mr. Commander, the front line has too many casualties. Can I order the front line to shrink and stop the attack!"
"Yes, the Sichuan Army in Teng County is already the remnant army at the end of its strength. It is not enough to lose the command of Feng Tiankui and Liu Xiang. It is not enough to order all divisions to stop the attack and shrink their defense!"
The losses of the troops of the three divisions temporarily incorporated into the Second Army were too great.
The number of the Second Guard Division originally set was probably not implemented. After this battle, these soldiers could only be supplemented by the Second Division.
There is still a brigade left in the 4th Division. Matsui Min is worried that he will be held accountable because of the huge losses.
The Imperial Army's plane went back in advance.
At the same time, the two front-line divisions also moved into defense.
Suddenly, the frontline reports.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, it's not good. The Sichuan Army is counterattacking!"
"Baga, what's the situation? How did the Sichuan Army fight back? Tell me slowly!"
What was coming to repay were the soldiers of the 2nd Division, the telegrams and telephones from the Interim Command of the Second Army, and the telephones rang at the same time.
"His division commander, the Sichuan Army really counterattacked. More than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles were driven out on both wings, carrying many horses. Their horses were not carrying people. It seemed that they had drained the horse's tails on gasoline and ignited them. They ran very quickly and were almost at the forefront of ours. They were shrinking the forefront of defense, which was unexpected!"
"The front-line commander, is the captain a fool? Order them, immediately, concentrate all their firepower and kill the horses that rushed over this time!"
Matsui Min, Okamura Yasuji, and Nishio Suzusaki's ancient Chinese tactics were heard in their minds.
Fire bull formation.
There are so many machine guns on the frontier positions of our Imperial Army.
Are you afraid that you will use your horse to hit you?
What do they want to do?
At this moment, a shocking explosion sounded from the frontline positions.
When I heard it, it was the sound of the bomb explosion.
Several people understood everything.
The Sichuan Army went crazy. They tied bombs on the horses, sacrificed their horses, and detonated near the frontier positions of the Imperial Army.
The three of them ran out quickly.
Holding a telescope and watching.
The telescope saw a scene, which made their eyes explode.
The horse rushed to about twenty meters away from the position and fell down.
At the same time, it detonated a powerful bomb again.
One after another.
The long line of stragglers kept coming out of the sound of explosions.
The firepower point in the frontier position was blown away and was retreating. The defense that had not yet been organized was severely damaged.
All three of them wailed in pain.
"Baga, how could the Sichuan Army have so many horses?"
"Damn Rikari, why did he lose so many bombs to the Sichuan Army!"
When the smoke and dust disappear.
They were once again surprised to find that the Chinese army pulled out a large number of horses behind tanks and armored vehicles.
The horse's tail was lit.
"Retreat, the entire Second Army obeys the order and withdraw!"
Nishio Suzusa's first reaction was that the Sichuan Army was crazy.
In the eyes of the Chinese army, horses are very important comrades-in-arms. The Sichuan Army has a long supply line and is heavily dependent on horses when they fight thousands of miles. Any abuse of horses is violated by military law. How could Nishio Shousao, who has fought with the Sichuan Army and the Chinese army so many times, not understand these inside stories?
Now so many horses are sacrificed to attack.
The only few tanks and armored vehicles were all driven out, and behind them were a large number of troops.
It can only be seen that the Sichuan Army is crazy and they are going to bury Feng Tiankui for death. They are launching a suicide charge.
Nishio Suzusa's roar reminded Okamura Yasuji and Matsui Mind.
They also looked fearful.
What era is Du Te Niang? These hateful Sichuan soldiers are still concerned about burial.
Isn’t it better to find a quiet place to die if you are buried with me?
How come to find us?
How could such a terrifying thing happen?
The casualties of several divisions on the Northern Line were already great enough, and they were gone even if they were called.
"Retreat, the Second Division all obeyed the order, withdrew, and evacuated from Teng County!"
"I'm passing the order that the 4th Division has all the troops. If you withdraw, all positions will be abandoned and withdrawn from Teng County!"
The lives of the Imperial Army warriors are precious, and there is no need to die with a remnant army with red eyes. Matsui and Okamura Yasuji are all yelling hysterically.
When Luo Jialie, deputy commander of the 66th Army, saw the Japanese shrinking their positions in the telescope, he could no longer care about so much.
My mind was full of Feng Tiankui's voice, appearance and smile during his lifetime.
He strengthened his determination to die with the Japanese.
Partially evacuated.
Turn off the radio and look at Zhao Jie and Chen Zhongkui on both wings, putting the chariots and armored vehicles.
And the horses carrying bombs gathered together.
He rushed towards the Japanese position in batches.
He also took out his mount himself, and together with Feng Mingliang, he lifted the basket filled with bombs onto the saddle and dripped gasoline on the horse's tail.
"Mr. Luo, the Japanese are going to run away, they are retreating wildly!"
"Run, chase me. The monk can't run away from the temple. Teng County is the common grave between me and this group of devils!"
