Chapter 270 Surrounding and destroying the 10th Division
For the Japanese corps stationed in Yicheng, they may never have thought that they would encounter something like this tonight. After a night of tossing, they did not see the enemy's shadow, but the entire corps suffered heavy losses and even accidentally injured their friendly forces.
The infantry corps commander, who was lucky enough to escape, was not killed in the command center, but was vomited blood by the yelling yelling of reports one after another. When he learned that the baggage unit and the police force were in danger, the injured corps commander who was receiving treatment also felt incredible.
When he realized that this was not the case and ordered the police force to surround him and not fire at will, the baggage force that was standing in the hotel surrendered voluntarily. Looking at the baggage captain with a blue nose and a swollen face, the captain of the Zhongzuo Regiment could not be happy.
After hearing the captain's report to his family, Zhongzuo also knew that the captain had an extraordinary background. If he offended such a powerful man, his future military career would become extremely dark. Moreover, the materials were blown up, and as the captain of the regiment, he could not refuse to blame.
On the other hand, Hu Biao, who had been sneaking into the city and struggling, fired a signal flare for retreat and quickly left the city. When Xu Sandao led his men to arrive, Hu Biao also appeared at the right time and said, "Okay, let's go back to the camp to rest!"
"Captain, what's going on in the city?"
"Hehe! I lit a fire and let the Japanese kill each other. At this moment, the Japanese probably reacted, but it was still too late. Next, let them bite their dog, and they would probably bite a bite of hair. Let's get out of here!"
"The city's material warehouses are all blown up?"
"That's right! In a short time, they have front-line troops, so don't think about replenishing supplies. Go back to the camp to rest first, and wait until dawn before we think of other solutions. In a word, I want the Japanese to have front-line troops, and they can't receive any supplies."
"Yes, captain! Without ammunition and supplies, the Japanese will also catch them blindly!"
Listening to what Hu Biao said, everyone was very happy. Even if they couldn't fight side by side with Hu Biao tonight, they still participated in the battle. As for the results of the battle, the soldiers of the spy company had not counted these numbers for a long time.
During the period when we head north, the spy company had not been damaged except for a few minor wounded people. As for the Japanese devils they beaten to death, many soldiers couldn't remember how many. In short, many soldiers knew that they should have earned enough capital.
Now, killing one more is profitable, and fighting more is just that, there is nothing to be happy about. In addition, Hu Biao has always emphasized that when facing the Japanese, the soldiers of the spy company must be able to do one as ten, and the soldiers all feel that they should continue to work hard to maintain.
Considering the darkness, the Japanese corps stationed in Yicheng did not dare to send troops out of the city to check the situation. Even though the Japanese army had realized that someone had sneaked into Yicheng to blow up their material warehouse, they still could not find the murderer who created the explosion.
When he learned that the material warehouse was completely destroyed and there was no material left, the seriously injured infantry corps leader had to choose to report. In addition, he offended the baggage unit, and the 10th Division wanted to replenish supplies from the rear, but it was afraid that it would become more difficult.
On the other hand, Hu Biao, who returned to the temporary camp, found Zheng Jingwu and Lin Yashi who were on duty, immediately said: "Immediately send this telegram to General Li of the Military Control Commission and the Fifth War Zone. Also inform our department that it will be active near the Imperial City in the near future.
Within three days, I can guarantee that no supply will be shipped to the front line. If the Fifth War Zone takes action, I hope they will start the arrangement as soon as possible. After three days, our department will change depending on the situation, and the radio will be turned on for two hours in the morning, noon and evening."
"Yes, captain!"
The communication officer of the Fifth War Zone who sent the telegram overnight did not care about waking up Li Zongren who had just fallen asleep. As Li Zongren's communication officer, he knew very well what this telegram meant.
"General, the telegram from the Special Operations Team! The matter is urgent, I can only disturb the general. The Special Operations Team destroyed all the supplies that the Japanese 10th Division were stationed in Yicheng. And it is guaranteed that the supplies cannot be delivered to the front line within three days."
Li Zongren, who was dressed in clothes, hurriedly reached out and said, "Give me the telegram!"
Looking at the translated telegram, Li Zongren immediately said: "Notify the Chief of Staff and other generals and go to the command center for a meeting immediately!"
Li Zongren, who was already planning a counterattack, knew very well that Hu Biao destroyed the supplies collected by the 10th Division in Yicheng, which meant that the 10th Division, which was attacking Taierzhuang with all its might, would inevitably be in a situation where the ammunition and food were exhausted.
Once the 10th Division reacts and launches a breakthrough before the national army siege, Li Zongren’s earlier arrangements will be in vain. At this time, Li Zongren must make a quick decision and launch the counterattack in advance.
Li Zongren, who arrived at the command center, asked the radio operator to send power to Hu Biao and repeatedly confirmed the corresponding news. Li Zongren also sent a reconnaissance force from the Fifth War Zone to verify whether the news reported by the Special Operations Team was true.
As a result, not long after, several anti-Japanese war troops closer to Yicheng sent corresponding telegrams, informing us that there were huge explosions and the unextinguished flames coming from the direction of Yicheng late at night, and something seemed to have happened.
Looking at the telegrams sent by various departments, Li Zongren slapped the table and said, "The general attack is in advance, so you can't let the Japanese run away!"
"Sir, if the news is wrong, our troops will be in trouble!"
"What are you afraid of? Is it possible? Do you suspect that the Special Operations Team is lying to us? Others don't know, don't you know it yet? Captain Hu of the Special Operations Team is the battalion commander of the Death Soldiers who defends the Presidential Palace in Jinling.
The victory of the 59th Army and the 40th Army in Linyi was the help of the Special Operations Team, which raided the Japanese rear command and artillery positions. When it was dawn, I was afraid that the 10th Division would have run away long ago."
As the commander of the Fifth War Zone, Li Zongren knew very well that every order issued by him could lead to thousands of casualties in the troops. But he also understood that if he did not seize this opportunity, he would miss the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the 10th Division.
Just as Li Zongren was discussing with the generals, the communications officer quickly said: "Sir, the Military Control Commission sent a telegram to confirm the attack on Yaicheng. The frontier troops also called to inform the main Japanese army that there were some abnormal movements!"
"Did you hear it? If you suspect the Special Operations Team, then you should believe the telegram sent by the Military Control Commission, right? I sent me an order and each unit launched a counterattack in advance, allowing the 40th Army to rush to Yicheng to launch a blocking attack.
After the counterattacks begin, we will inform the Special Operations Team of our encirclement and annihilation plan. General Pang of the Forty Army has dealt with the Special Operations Team. Send a report to General Pang and inform the Special Operations Team of the Special Operations Team of the City.”
"Yes, sir!"
As Li Zongren took the counterattack in advance, the other generals looked at the verification telegrams sent one after another, and they couldn't make any refutations. They sent reports to their subordinates and launched a strong counterattack against the current enemy.
For a time, the 10th Japanese Division, which was considering whether to break through or standby, also received telegrams from various brigades under its command from being attacked. Some areas defended by the defensive forces were being counterattacked by the main division of the National Army.
At the command of the 10th Division on the front line, the division commander of the division, Risuke Isotani, was also shocked: "Are the Chinese army crazy? How dare they launch a counterattack on us? Where did these Chinese army emerge from?"
"General, the Chinese army suddenly launched a full-scale counterattack. I believe we already know the news of the attack in Yaicheng. As for the current ammunition storage situation of each unit, I am afraid we will not last long. Without logistics supplies, it will be difficult for us to make a difference."
"Baga! Those incompetent guys, a gang garrison in Yacht, would have been infiltrated. In this case, we can only shrink our troops and break through after dawn."
"Maybe this is all that's all!"
"Send a report to the commander of Seya Brigade, asking him to lead his troops to retreat and join the main force of the division, and the rest of the troops continue to block, and wait until dawn to move closer to the main force of the division. Send a report to the direction of Ichi Castle, and let him respond to the main force of the division retreat."
"Hi!"
As Isotani Ryosuke made the decision to withdraw and preserve his strength, the main force of the national army, who was launching a counterattack, also saw that the Japanese army was retreating. Under this circumstance, the morale of the offensive troops who were originally worried increased several times instantly.
Many main team leaders who served as main offensive missions immediately said happily as they listened to their subordinates' reports: "It seems that the Japanese really want to escape! Order the troops not to be afraid of casualties, and force them to suppress them, so that the Japanese cannot retreat too easily."
"Yes, the leader!"
The anti-Japanese war troops of the National Army, which had an absolute advantage in military strength, used human-sea tactics to launch a strong counterattack against the Japanese army when the Japanese army lost their artillery fire, which really made the Japanese army feel huge pressure, and some Japanese troops could only retreat step by step.
When Hu Biao received the telegram forwarded by Li Zongren, he also said unexpectedly: "It seems that I accidentally caused the main force of the National Army to counterattack in advance. But at this time, the 10th Japanese Division should still have a lot of strength.
Forget it! I'm worried about these things, but I'm afraid I'll have a break tonight. The 40th Army is nearby, so there are indeed many opportunities. Perhaps next, I can find the opportunity to capture the island city, pillars, and notify the troops to assemble!"
Looking at the war situation report sent by Li Zongren and the news of the remnants of the 40th Army's generals cooperating with the blocking, Hu Biao, who had previously lamented that he was short of troops in his hands, felt that there was great potential at this moment. This time, it might be possible to cause the 10th Division to be damaged.
At the worst, he had to bite a piece of meat from the 10th Division, so that the Japanese were unable to launch an attack in a short period of time. As for the Fifth Division, which was cooperating with the cooperation, Hu Biao believed that Li Zongren would be prepared and would not let the Fifth Division come to cause trouble.
The spy soldier, who was about to rest, gathered again as Xu Sandao blew the whistle of the emergency gathering. The three platoon leaders rushed to the radio room as soon as possible to accept the order. Not long after, they left with the radio on the platoon.
After receiving the contact telegram from the 40th Army, Hu Biao took the sniper team and the third platoon and left the temporary camp again. At this moment, only a few soldiers were retained in the temporary camp, and even Lin Yashi also fought with her troops.
