Chapter 668: The support of division commander Fujita Shin (Chapter 2 is here today)
In the position where division commander Susumu Fujita was located, his special operations troops fought vigorously. Although the troops of the 129th Division and the 120th Division also received a lot of small-caliber mortars from Liu Feiyang,
But there was no way to compete with division commander Susumu Fujita's heavy artillery unit and a large number of artillery units. Especially since this unit gathered the most elite officers and soldiers of the Japanese army, so this time he was used to ambush.
The 129th Division and the 120th Division, which fought guerrilla warfare, encountered strong opponents.
After experiencing a fierce confrontation, the 129th Division and the 120th Division wisely chose the retreat strategy in the face of division commander Susumu Fujita, who seemed to become more and more courageous as they fought.
It was also because of this that in the first frontal battlefield battle, the results were not very good.
But for the 129th Division and the 120th Division, it is also a very valuable combat experience, and for them, they are better at fighting ambush warfare and guerrilla warfare.
At the very least, in a head-on battle, unless you encounter so many elite Japanese troops led by Division Commander Susumu Fujita, you still have a chance of winning.
Of course, the 129th Division and the 120th Division did not feel discouraged because of this short defeat. They were accumulating more combat experience on the frontal battlefield.
You must know that in the past, due to backward weapons and equipment and insufficient ammunition for troop training, there was not much combat effectiveness.
But now that they have more ammunition training, they believe that as long as they have enough time to conduct training and combat, they will not lose to these elite Japanese troops.
Everything takes time,
But when watching the 129th Division and the 120th Division begin to evacuate, the division commander Susumu Fujita's troops became more motivated to fight.
"Baga! Those Chinese troops were finally defeated by us and evacuated, hahaha! Our Imperial Army is the most powerful force!"
"Who is that? Of course. We must be the most elite force. So should I pursue them immediately and annihilate them all?"
"Hey! Listen to the order of the division commander! I really want to chase them immediately and annihilate all the Chinese troops who dare to fight us head-on!"
"Me too! These Chinese troops are not easy to deal with. If we were not the elite troops among the elites, I am afraid that our battle this time would also involve a lot of casualties among the imperial warriors. Compared with those cowardly Jinsui
The troops are more powerful, but they are also vulnerable to us!"
.......
.......
Then, many voices of discussion started immediately, and they continued to boil.
In this regard, division commander Susumu Fujita has been holding military binoculars and observing the evacuation actions of the 129th Division and the 120th Division.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Chinese Army that is fighting fiercely with us is withdrawing. Should we pursue them immediately and interrupt their withdrawal?"
"This is our chance to annihilate them all!"
Chief of General Staff Tanaka Kenji also immediately asked the division commander Susumu Fujita excitedly.
"Yeah! OK, get ready to pursue!"
Regarding the proposal of Chief of General Staff Tanaka Kenji, division commander Susumu Fujita immediately agreed without thinking.
"Oh no! Your Excellency, Division Commander! Something big happened in the rear. Your Excellency, Commander, was attacked and bombed by the Chinese Army!"
"Now life and death are uncertain, and now everything in the rear is in chaos!"
"In particular, the 35th Army of the China Army and the 7th Cavalry Division are also attacking from the rear. The current battle situation there is very pessimistic. In addition, our Imperial Air Force has not yet come to support the bombing operation, so please invite the division
The commander immediately takes over the command of the army and carries out systematic command to kill the enemy!"
However, just after the division commander Susumu Fujita finished speaking, and before his order was sent out for execution, combat staff officer Yoshino Hiroshi panicked and ran to the chief of general staff Kenji Tanaka and the division commander Susumu Fujita.
In front of them, an urgent report was being made.
"Baga! How could this happen?"
"What do the troops in the rear do for a living? Why can't they even protect their own commander?"
"How on earth did they fight?"
After hearing this, Chief of General Staff Kenji Tanaka was the first to be very dissatisfied and roared angrily.
At the same time, the division commander Susumu Fujita immediately looked unhappy and solemn.
"Hey! Immediately dispatch an elite regiment to rescue the Commander. In addition, those who have evacuated China Army will continue to send troops to pursue, but don't pursue too far. It is dark now, be careful of being ambushed by the opponent, because
What they are best at is ambush warfare and guerrilla warfare!"
"Now all the remaining troops will immediately follow me to take a look at the situation in the rear. The 35th China Army and its 7th Cavalry Division will never be allowed to continue to carry out killing battles in the rear of our army!"
"Be sure to clear out these Chinese troops and attack immediately!"
Then, division commander Fujita Shinya issued a combat order.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
........
.......
Chief of General Staff Kenji Tanaka, who was just about to continue scolding Chief of Staff Yoshino Hiroshi, immediately restrained his anger and quickly agreed.
Of course, operational staff officer Yoshino Yo also agreed in unison, nodding and bowing his head and agreeing.
Immediately, division commander Susumu Fujita's elite troops were divided into three groups, each carrying out the combat orders of division commander Susumu Fujita.
Of course, the elite Japanese troops who pursued the 129th Division and the 120th Division were just doing it for a show, and they did not pursue it for too long at all, because they all followed the orders of the division commander Susumu Fujita.
Therefore, after pursuing for a while and injuring and killing some anti-Japanese fighters who could not evacuate, they immediately retreated.
However, during the pursuit and killing, some of these elite Japanese soldiers were killed by the soldiers of the 129th Division and the 120th Division, so the two sides were almost tied.
This is also the reason why these elite Japanese soldiers retreated so neatly.
After division commander Susumu Fujita's elite troops joined the battle at the rear, Commander Fu's main force, the 35th Army and the 7th Cavalry Division, quickly fell into crisis.
Especially when the Japanese aviation force also appeared in the night sky and carried out bombing, the battle situation suddenly reversed, so Commander Fu's main force also suffered many casualties.
"Withdraw! Withdraw quickly!"
"The Japanese reinforcements are coming, and so are the aviation forces. Evacuate quickly!"
After the bombing of the aircraft group started that day, Commander Fu immediately directed his troops anxiously and carried out the evacuation route.
As his evacuation order was issued, many military officers and soldiers quickly obeyed the command and evacuated desperately.
Because they did not have the anti-aircraft firepower to carry out air defense, especially now that there were so many Japanese aircraft groups and the Japanese elites were killing every one with a carbine, they really had to run for their lives.
However, because Commander Fu personally commanded the evacuation, and these national army officers and soldiers were usually well-trained, even though the evacuation was a bit chaotic, it did not fall into a rout-like evacuation.
Moreover, there is also a certain amount of rear-end troops to resist the aggressive Japanese elite troops who are pursuing them.
Most of these remaining troops are death squads, fighting for the chance of survival for other troops.
Therefore, in the melee, the fighting between the two sides was still quite fierce.
If it hadn't been for the Japanese planes arriving for reinforcements, I'm afraid the number of casualties among the Japanese elite troops would have been even higher.
However, due to the bombing of Japanese aircraft groups to assist in the operation, the morale of many national troops was instantly destroyed.
If it hadn't been for the dark night and there were mountains and forests nearby, I'm afraid there would have been even more casualties among the national troops.
As the battle came to an end, the division commander Susumu Fujita stopped his troops from continuing the pursuit, and immediately went back to check on the situation of Yoshio Shinohata, the commander of the Japanese First Army.
