"Mr. Wang, you are old, you have traveled all over the world, and you have the most knowledge. Tell me, what is this kid doing?" Liu Yang had a strange expression on his face. He really couldn't figure out the Japanese army's plan. It is not clear why the Japanese army suddenly retreated, and what conspiracy is there.
With a slightly normal mind, even if there are other military deployments, even if Seishiro Itakuru, who just arrived, wants to leave, he will fight Liu Yang more or less, and it is guaranteed that he will win most of the time, even if it is a face. There is no reason to do nothing.
?But the little devil just retreated, and there was no reason for the retreat. It seemed that Seishiro Itashi came for the purpose of retreating. If there was no conspiracy, who would believe it.
Of course, as the Japanese army retreated, the guard platoon and special forces continued to investigate, closely followed the Japanese army, and even tentatively sniped the soldiers who killed the little devil. It was absolutely impossible for so many people to attack Fufumi Yamashita.
But in any case, the Japanese army did not respond. Zhao Laifu and Duan Pengfei noticed one thing, that is, the morale of the Japanese army was very poor, and it was extremely bad. Take the initiative to attack, and still retreat slowly.
"Pengfei, I think the little devils have an internal problem. They must have experienced something. Most likely, something happened to the troops led by Itaku Seishiro, so that the morale is so poor. It is definitely not just pretending¡ª" Zhao Laifu could For sure, something is wrong with the little devil.
Damn it, smash it, Duan Pengfei scratched his head. He couldn't say anything, let alone guess the real reason, but he nodded in agreement with Zhao Laifu's words. The morale of the Japanese army was really bad. I don't know why, I guess Even if Yamashita Fengwen died ten times, the morale of the Japanese army would not be so bad.
"Old Li, what do you think?" Zhao Laifu looked at Li Baozhu, who could guess at this moment.
Li Baozhu frowned, looking at the Japanese army retreating slowly from a distance. The Japanese army retreated in an orderly manner, retreating like a textbook. This is absolutely incomparable to the secret service battalion. If the secret service battalion retreats, it must stay behind People use their lives to buy time, and then retreat with the fastest speed.
After hesitating for a long while, Li Baozhu smiled wryly: "Let me tell you, I'd better ask Ying Zuo to take a look, maybe Ying Zuo can see something, but it won't work. It's too dangerous, so tell Ying Zuo what to say."
In the end, the three of them didn't discuss anything, but after following the Japanese army for more than ten miles, they confirmed that the Japanese army showed no sign of stopping, and while sending people to continue the investigation, they went back to report to Liu Yang.
Besides, after Duan Pengfei came back to report, Liu Yang was even more confused. The Japanese army is really going to retreat. Liu Yang has basically confirmed this point. Of course, even if they retreat, these more than 100,000 troops are not the spy battalion to hunt down. The harassment was just to order the special operations team and the guard platoon to attack the Japanese army in the form of harassment and sniping, and then let the 13th brigade be responsible for the response.
Afterwards, arrange for the troops in the city to continue to strengthen the city defense, repair the southern city wall that was almost destroyed by the war, and pour concrete into it. The city defense must be strengthened so that the little devils cannot break through.
It is said that if you want to win, you must first practice the basic skills. City defense is the basic skills. This time in the contest with Fengwen Yamashita, I relied on the troops that I put together from a few assorted troops to consume tens of thousands of Japanese troops. It was nothing more than relying on If there is a strong city defense, Huzhou will have to work hard on the city defense in the next step.
Liu Yang didn't go after him, because he was afraid that if it was a conspiracy by the Japanese army, he might lose everything if he made a wrong move. Liu Yang really couldn't afford to lose, so he watched Fengwen Yamashita and Seishiro Itakumi retreat anxiously.
However, in this way, the biggest crisis of the secret service battalion was resolved. Yamashita Fufumi's Central China Front Army withdrew to Hangzhou again, but sent two new regiments into Suzhou in an attempt to regain control of Suzhou.
Now that the Battle of Huzhou is over, Liu Yang left the 105th Division, the Pre-19th Brigade and the 13th Brigade, and arranged for the Secret Service Battalion and the Special Forces to spend three days in Huzhou. Xiao Jiu was not only not annoyed by the addition, but also very happy, and even wanted to come back.
The biggest danger of the secret service battalion has passed. With the retreat of the Central China Front Army, the pressure on Huzhou was immediately relieved. The 105th Division returned to Changxing, the 13th Brigade returned to Yixing, and the 19th Brigade was stationed in Huzhou. However, after the first battle in Huzhou, The three most elite units of the Secret Service Battalion were almost all disabled, and they might not be able to recover for a long time.
It was not only these three units that were disabled, but also the Reserve Division and Li Brigade, plus the Independent Regiment. Fujita Susumu of the Japanese Third Division huddled near Liyang, constantly confronting them and the national army at the same time. , both sides come and go, invested tens of thousands of troops here in Liyang, foughtFor so long, it can be said that no casualties are invited.
With the end of the offensive and defensive battle in Huzhou, the North China Front Army suddenly stepped up its attack on Ma'anshan and other places. On May 23, the Japanese army captured Lishui and threatened Ma'anshan.
The 79th Division, originally stationed in Lishui, was almost completely lost. The division commander, Chief Chen, died for the country. The hero Zhang Siyu, at the head of Lishui City, from the division commander down, more than 6,000 people died for the country. After that, he led more than 600 people from the remnants of the 79th Division to withdraw from Lishui and defected to Ma'anshan.
The entire Seventy-ninth Division was almost wiped out, and even the head of the regiment was promoted temporarily. If Chief Chen hadn't given the death order when he was dying and asked Head Lu to lead people to break through, the Seventy-ninth Division might have been defeated. All will be killed.
However, under the fierce resistance of the 79th Division, the Japanese army also paid a price of more than 5,000 people, and used countless artillery fire, as well as aircraft and tanks. To be tragic.
Following the fall of Lishui, the Japanese army divided their forces to force Jurong and Gaochun, and at the same time sent troops to block Dangtu reinforcements, and then attacked Ma'anshan with all their strength, mobilizing troops to attack more than 20,000 people.
For a while, the Jiangdong area fell into a deadly battle. The government ordered that the Japanese army must be beaten hard no matter what, and Ma'anshan should be kept as much as possible. Then the 164th Division and the 19th Brigade were dispatched to support.
The Battle of Ma'anshan was also very fierce. The 164th Division was intercepted on the bank of the Yangtze River, and fought fiercely with the 19th Brigade on the bank with the Japanese army for three days.
The Japanese army did not stop attacking Ma'anshan, and launched an uninterrupted attack. For three whole days, the sound of artillery did not stop, and even the planes continued to bombard them. On May 28, the division commander Wang Shaotang was killed by the plane. There was a brutal street fight.
Ma'anshan fell, and the disabled 164th Division and 19th Brigade had to retreat, but none of the remnants of the defenders in the city withdrew. street fighting.
This is the longest street fighting battle in Chinese history. It started in 1940 and lasted until 2045. At that time, nearly a thousand remnant soldiers relied on tunnels to fight for five years without fleeing and retreating. The unit that persisted the longest, it was not until four or five years before the national government restored the division's establishment, and at the same time appointed the highest officer at the time, a battalion commander, as the acting division commander, and promoted him.
Later, this incident was publicized throughout the country, even the United States knew about it, and it became a model for the national war of resistance.
With the fall of Ma'anshan, the Japanese army's strategic intention was realized. Instead, the troops were divided into two groups, one to attack Dangtu and the other to attack Jurong, and then threatened Zhenjiang. At this time, Zhenjiang had been handed over to the national army. Zou Lidong, who couldn't get over his stomach, only now saw clearly how correct Liu Yang's decision was.
If Zou Lidong continued to defend Zhenjiang and did not hand it over to the national army, then his Zhenjiang garrison would be destroyed. However, as the Zhenjiang garrison, Zou Lidong did not evacuate the Zhenjiang area, but was ordered to establish a base in Zhenjiang to prepare for guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army.
The combat effectiveness of the garrison was not strong, and it was only about 2,000, which was far from enough to resist the elite of the Japanese army. Therefore, they spread out and established connections between the villages in Zhenjiang with companies as units, and occupied an area. Even if the Japanese army wants to encircle and suppress, it is not easy, and the troops they contain are too large.
The recent corruption of the war has caused Chief Chen a headache, and Liu Yang dragged the Central China Front Army to Huzhou, which greatly relieved the pressure on the northern front. Even so, he still couldn't resist the fierce Japanese attack. Now Zhenjiang is in Wuxi. Almost alone, Chief Chen asked several times for instructions to withdraw the troops, but the government never agreed. Instead, he ordered Chief Chen to drag the Japanese army to the Taihu Lake area, creating an opportunity for Chief Xue to attack the South China Front Army.
With the end of the Huzhou campaign, Chief Chen knew that the secret service battalion had suffered heavy losses, but he quickly came up with the idea of ??a secret service battalion.
A telegram was sent to Liu Yang. Even though he was familiar with Chief Chen, Liu Yang's expression changed after reading the telegram, and he opened his mouth to scold his mother: "Mr. Chen is too bullying. Whipping Kuai Niu is not like this." Yes, let me lead the troops to defend Zhenjiang, what the hell is trying to kill the secret service battalion."
Although Zhenjiang is more prosperous than Huzhou, for Liu Yang, sticking to Zhenjiang is definitely not a good idea, because Zhenjiang does not have the fortifications that Huzhou has built for the past two years, does it have dense tunnels, and the people in the city and the spy battalion are not of the same mind. There is no support.
To defend Zhenjiang, the secret service battalion must mobilize elites. Then the 105th Division, the 13th Brigade, the Li Brigade, the Independent Regiment, etc., it is very likely that this battle will lose their titles, and Liu Yang will have no room to stand up. This is not me The question of willingness or unwillingness, in Liu Yang's view, abandoning Zhenjiang is the most sensible choice. Now that Liyang has recovered and the Japanese army has entered the city, Liyang is still an empty city. Why not withdraw to Liyang and use Liyang's fortifications to drag down the Japanese army.
