Chapter 44: Offensive and Defensive Battle of Qinzhou (7)

.On December 21, the situation suddenly changed on the main battlefield of the Battle of Southern Guizhou, which was stalemate between China and Japan.

The Fifth Army, the number one ace of the Chinese army, who was furious in Guangzhou, finally found a thousand-year-old opportunity to be able to breathe in the Japanese. On the early morning of the 21st, as the general reserve team of the camp, the Fifth Army fully utilized its mechanized corps' strong mobility and successfully carried out a large-scale armored encirclement battle with a strong German style in the middle section of the Nanqin Highway. I never thought that the Chinese army that had been huddled for a long time would dispatch the main force of the 21st Army led by Lieutenant General Imamura, who was attacking, had almost no effect under the sudden attack of his opponent. Before dawn, a two-kilometer-wide isolation belt was rolled out by the tank track of the Fifth Army, a two-kilometer-wide isolation belt called "The Blood Band". This "The Blood Band" cut off the Japanese vanguard troops behind the Fifth Army.

This feat of the Fifth Army not only allowed all the 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division, the 5th Division of the Japanese vanguard, and part of the Taiwan brigade to be surrounded by the Chinese army west of the Chen. It also forced the main force of the Japanese army to retreat more than ten kilometers on the entire line. At this point, the initiative in the war on the Nanqin Highway was finally transferred to the Chinese side.

At 10 o'clock the same day, Ono Detachment was destroyed by the two divisions of the New Eighteenth Army. Originally, this was bad news for the 21st Army. However, compared with the dangerous defeat on the Nanqin Highway, the loss of Ono's troops, which had been regarded as abandoned, was naturally ignored by Lieutenant General Ando, ​​who was already worried at the moment. However, the Tokyo Base Camp reacted very quickly. After Ono was shot dead by the Chinese army, he specially promoted this unlucky major general to become a lieutenant general in less than four hours. The Tokyo Base Camp was "understanding" to the Tokyo Base Camp, which helped to increase the military achievements of the 18th Army, was deeply pleased. He also expressed his sincere appreciation for the Tokyo Base Camp.

Nearly 10,000 Japanese troops were besieged near Chen. Lieutenant General Ando, ​​who repeated the retracement of Ono Detachment, called the Tokyo Base Camp to transfer the 11th Division, which belonged to the Kanto Army sequence, to help, while strictly ordered Lieutenant General Imamura, the highest commander of the Japanese army on the Nanqin Highway, to return to the army to fight again in order to rescue the besieged Japanese army. At the same time, Lieutenant General Ando was panicked and transferred about 6,000 troops to Lieutenant General Imamura, who was not willing to take advantage of the new 18th Army force Qinzhou to protect the troops.

As for why Lieutenant General Ando would rather risk the supply line on the Nanqin Highway being cut off, and would not adjust the Fourth Division to head north? It is not because Ando has never made this idea. It is because the Fourth Division has been "attracted" by the New Eighteenth Army, and even a brigade cannot be withdrawn from the geography...1#6#k# Novel Network.

Let’s take a look at the confrontation between the Fourth Division and the New Eighteenth Army!

On the afternoon of December 23, the front line of Luwu was fighting in full swing. From a distance, it sounded like a series of guns and cannons resounding in the sky, so dense. From time to time, the guns and cannons were mixed with the thrilling shouts from the soldiers of the two armies. What a thrilling battle!

However, as long as a soldier with practical experience, he could tell the movements on the front line after listening carefully. It was a little wrong. The sound of guns and cannons had been ringing in place for a long time. In other words, both sides of the war from the beginning to the end were lying in the trenches aimlessly.

If you are lucky enough to visit the two armies, you will be able to make you happy and experience another wonder in the history of war.

"Xiao Erlang, the goods are not very good! Look, this dust cover with the 38th cover has been taken off. Also, the rifle in this crooked handle is also worn out too much. Price reduction! Price reduction!" The strong man in plain clothes and a businessman who was bargaining was actually the one from the 200th Regiment of the New 100th Division. He was praised by Cheng Jiaji as the leader Han Dongsheng, who was much bigger than the Nine-Life Monster Cat.

"Hansang! There are 65 styles of 38, each of which is originally priced at 70 yuan. I will lose three yuan per one, but the price of this bullet will be calculated separately. As for the 11 light machine gun, one can't be missing." If Han Dongsheng is a businessman, then this fat Donggua, who speaks a bit strange, can be regarded as the ancestor of the profiteer. If you buy a gun, you have to buy bullets from him. Look at his abacus, it's really useless.

The little erulone mentioned by Han Dongsheng is not an ordinary little character. His full name is Kuroda Kojiro. His official identity is the deputy commander of the logistics department of the 16th Regiment of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, and the military rank Nakasa. Of course, if the price is appropriate, he occasionally sells some military supplies "eliminated" by the Japanese army to subsidize household expenses (he said himself).

To put it simply, the defense zone of the 200th Regiment, which has recovered a little, is just far away from part of the position of the 16th Regiment. In other words, in addition to being in the business world, these two are also opponents on the battlefield.

"Xiao Erlang, next time I get some grenade launchers, will the mortar be OK?" Han Dongsheng obviously didn't like pediatric arms like the 38th large cover and crooked squad, so he had the idea of ​​heavy infantry weapons...

"The day after tomorrow, our wing and the 19th wing will change defenses. Before leaving, I will bring some of this kind of goods here." Kuroda Nakasa is not a vegetarian. Those powerful guys are more secure to sell them to the Chinese army before changing defenses. He did this to avoid the use of these weapons and was used to fight the "joke" of the seller of the 16th wing. After all, this state of peace is only temporary. No one knows whether tomorrow, now the business-related partners will fight to the death under the strict orders of their respective bosses.

"Xiao Erlang, do you want to attack tomorrow!" Han Dongsheng, who was also the leader of the regiment, came to the front of the enemy, not all for these dozens of small trades of the 38th large-scale buildings. He was more interested in the information of the Japanese army. Or it can be said that doing business with the Japanese army is just a cover, and "softening" is essentially the Fourth Division of an armed merchant regiment, which is the real purpose of how easy-going the Chinese army becomes.

"There will be no commander to urge you tomorrow morning, and there should be no attack. In the afternoon, the military headquarters will have a great master coming to supervise the battle. Hansang will also ask you the great master to tell you the great master if you can retreat three or four kilometers. Ono's man has already gone to the west. It's okay for us to move forward, right?" If he fought hard against Major General Ono who died the night before yesterday, he would be so angry that he would be so angry that he would come alive when he heard Kuroda Nakasa say this.

"Be good, three or four kilometers! Xiao Erlang, it's not me who said to you. The appetite of your team leader and deputy team captains is getting bigger and bigger. On the Eighth Regiment on the South Line, people are playing the trick of moving forward and retreating. You have to move forward too fast. I'm afraid it's not very good for the Eighth Regiment." Hearing Han Dongsheng's tone, he was as if Colonel Hosokawa had a personal relationship with him.

"Our side is an infantryman, there are only three corpses, including engineers, one corps, and one artillery corps. If we can't walk a few more steps forward, it's hard to explain to the military headquarters. Hansang, these tiger skins. You can take them first, and after the matter is done, you will also thank you very much. You are also in the position of the commander." It's really strange. When Xiao Erlang spoke Chinese, not only did his accent make him so weird that he often made some grammatical mistakes. However, when talking about the usual vocabulary of bribery, the smooth and simplified words and sentences are more authentic.

"Okay! If you give me three boxes of bullets for free, I will ask you questions!" Thinking of the good things Kuroda "tribute" came from the Chinese, Han Dongsheng felt that he had not and was not polite to him, and waved his hand to ask a guard beside him to take it. After the two bags of one big and one small handed over by Kuroda's guards, Han Dongsheng called him, and his brothers carried the Japanese arms that Hua Dayang bought today, plus the three boxes of bullets that Kuroda had already brought over by the Japanese soldiers. Han Dongsheng and others went straight back to their house.

At this time, people discovered that Han Dongsheng, Kuroda Nakasa and others were sitting on a central line between the positions of the two armies, artificially expanded from the bomb crater, which was about one meter deep, and could accommodate dozens of people. From this safe and hidden "place", we can imagine that this kind of trade activity between the Chinese and Japanese armies is by no means one or two.

Although they were all "acquaintances" who had always dealt with each other, the officers and soldiers of the two armies who participated in the transaction were still very vigilant. When both sides retreated to the position, the commanders walked freely, and the soldiers behind the hall on both sides became much tired. The soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese sides all pulled the bolts and weapons on the front of the aircraft, and stepped backwards step by step.

Speaking of which, the corps commanders of the main force of the Japanese Fourth Division were already extremely restrained. At least they have been "draining" the two-pronged approach of "friendly" negotiation and "gifts" to slowly and resolutely "promote" the front line forward, which is worth the amount of "Great Japanese Empire". To be honest, it is much less than the military pay of the Chinese army, which is known as poor.

Compared with the western front where Ayamashita Tobuki, who was personally seated at the town, the Hosokawa Detachment, which was far away from the sky, was really extraordinary. The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Regiment were used to walking to the positions of Cheng Jiaji's headquarters bare hands to sell Northeast specialties and 38 gun bullets that belonged to the personal "property". It can be said that when the Western Front was still working on a planned economy like a collective farm, the Eighth Regiment on the South Front had entered an unprecedented prosperity era of national business. The latter's trade volume was so huge that it was not the same as the former. Stimulated by the favorable news on the Western Front,

Some were piled up in the warehouse of the Japanese foreign company in Qinzhou, worrying about the poor sales of the Northeast "local products". These days, they were transported to the front line by the foreign company's carts. Of course, the smart Cheng Jiaji would not always fill in the money to support the Japanese's appetite. These Northeast goods were just Cheng Jiaji's hands. Then, these ginseng, tiger skin, and bear paws "fly" to Guilin, Changsha, and even Chongqing, a companion thousands of miles away. As the general businessman who plays a role in connecting the past and the future, the profits made by Cheng Jiaji in this bloody transaction are self-evident.

The front line has become a market for the market. If the Fourth Division headquarters did not notice the serious "traitor" of the troops below, which was second only to mutiny, it would be obvious that it would be unreasonable.

In fact, not only did the Lieutenant General at the foot of the mountain know his own troops well, but the 21st Army Command, far away in Fangcheng, all had a clear understanding of the various "illegals" in this area.

These senior Japanese command organs also sent personnel to strictly supervise the various corpses of the Fourth Division, attempting to force these troops to fight to the death with the New Eighteenth Army. Unfortunately, in the face of the cunning unique to the Osaka merchants with hundreds of years of tradition, the military headquarters and division headquarters sent the supervising soldiers to the division headquarters did not have any practical effect. If it was really urgent, the various units of the Fourth Division were either injured and sick, or after the "friendly consultation" of the Chinese army, they pretended to advance for several kilometers to fill the storefront. Will the military law be severely punished? On this issue, the Fourth Division, which was surprisingly united within, could not even find a person willing to report. Just arrest people directly? Not to mention this.

In the first place, it is very easy to cause mutiny. Even though the Fourth Division attack is unfavorable, at least it can still restrain the New Eighteenth Army. Lieutenant General Ando does not want to destroy the situation that can barely be controlled by rash actions. Suppose the Fourth Division really makes people panic and the morale of the army is in chaos. At that time, if the New Eighteenth Army, which has been eyeing Qinzhou, takes advantage of the situation, who will stop it? Relying on the remaining soldiers of the 18th Division! Not to mention that the Niudao Division is already a broken leg, the grasshopper cannot jump up. Even if the 18th Division soldiers can be used, Lieutenant General Ando still counts on these Jiuzhou soldiers to guard Qinzhou and support Imura, where he is willing to use it to fight the war of attrition with the New Eighteenth Army, which has no worries.

In this way, under various concerns, the 21st Army Command had to "deregret the duties" of the various units of the Fourth Division and "coordinate with the enemy" and pretend to be deaf and dumb. Of course, the ease under special circumstances cannot be indefinitely.

Afterwards, as soon as the Japanese reinforcements arrived, the Fourth Division was transferred back to the country and was greatly cleaned up. Although few officers and soldiers were accused of treason because of the face of the army, all the intermediate officers were basically forced to be demobilized. As for the lower-level officers and soldiers who were believed to have been seriously corrupted on the Chinese battlefield, most of them were transferred to other middle divisions of the Japanese Army to serve. These are later stories.

As the battle situation on the Nanqin Highway became more beneficial to the Chinese army, the New Eighteenth Army, which believed that the opportunity for a local counterattack was ripe, was ready to go.
