The Yamamoto Regiment is very elite, but faced with the oncoming secret service battalion and the fierce independent division, the Yamamoto Regiment is also very useless. Facing an enemy twice as large as yourself, the key is that the enemy is not only elite, but also has tanks and cannons.
At this time, the Japanese army didn't even have a few mortar shells, and they counterattacked completely with machine guns with few bullets.
Under the suppression of the special forces, under the bombardment of the artillery, under the roar of the tanks, the Yamamoto unit was captured in just ten minutes, and then there was a massacre¡ª¡ª
The secret service battalion did not rush up to fight hand-to-hand at all, and relied on powerful firepower to suppress the Japanese army from 300 meters away. As long as the Japanese army's machine guns fired, they would be blown to pieces and could not be used at all. Without fire support, even Even the elite Yamamoto Regiment could not withstand the artillery fire.
"Retreat¡ª¡ª" After more than half of the losses, Yamamoto Ze, who was wounded, finally ordered to retreat. All the soldiers retreated and jumped into the river if they could not break through. Fortunately, although the flood was rapid, it had tended to be stable, and the water flow was slower than before. Some.
The helpless Japanese army, under the leadership of Yamamoto Ze, jumped directly into the Yuxi River. Some died at that time, and some went down the river. In the end, more than 400 people including Yamamoto Ze were buried in Yuxi River. Less than 200 people escaped the disaster.
The battle came quickly, and without waiting for Terauchi Shouichi's support, those small units were almost wiped out. Including the Yamamoto Regiment, the Japanese army lost nearly 4,000 people, and the secret service battalion only had more than 1,000 people, which was a huge blow. The arrogance of the Japanese army also broke the tactical plan of Shouichi Terauchi.
Originally, Terauchi Shouichi wanted to break through the entire line of defense, force the secret service battalion to retreat, and then press all the way up, but now Terauchi Shouyi found that only his troops had completely crossed the river, and the other places and troops were too small and had been wiped out by the secret service battalion. Although the secret service battalion began to retreat at this time, it was too late for him to pursue, especially on the Yuxi River, the bridges in Yuncao Town and Shenxiang Town were blown up, and Shouyi in the temple could not cross the river.
In fact, the only places Shouyi in the temple could go to were Shenxiang Town and Baiqiao Town. However, when the tiger camp with more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers was wiped out, Shouyi had already gone directly to Xiliang Mountain before Shouyi in the temple rushed over.
Everything was broken by the spy battalion, and the Japanese army watched helplessly as the spy battalion pushed into a safe place. Terauchi Shouichi only chased to Baiqiao Town, and then stopped, attacking Xiliang Mountain, relying solely on his troops is not enough , As for the attack on Chaohu Lake, without the support of warships, it is simply impossible.
So in the end Shouyi in the temple locked on Xiliang Mountain, but according to Shouyi in the temple's information, Xiliang Mountain is said to be indestructible, and more than 700 tons of cement were used to build a group of fortifications to connect the Xiliang Mountains.
Xiliang Mountain has solid air-defense fortifications, dense bunkers, connected forts and forts, and tunnels connected, and has a large material reserve. Even if it is besieged for a year, it can persist. Another key is Take the tiger battalion plus the recruit battalion, the security army, the militia, and so on. There are miscellaneous troops, Xiliangshan has more than 6,000 troops, and there are more than 100 cannons, hundreds of mortars, and dozens of tanks¡ª¡ª
Not long ago, the Independent Regiment occupied Dangtu, and sent a large batch of ammunition from Taihu Lake, including a large amount of artillery shells. With these supplies, it was really difficult for the Japanese army to break through the defense.
In short, Xiliang Mountain was built into a fortress with copper coins and iron arms. It has always been a headache for the Japanese army. Since the existence of Xiliang Mountain, it has been thinking about encirclement and suppression attacks. Existence, their air defense facilities are improving day by day.
Shouyi in the temple did not intend to use his more than 10,000 people to attack Xiliang Mountain, and if he did not go to Xiliang Mountain for a day, it would be wishful thinking to enter Chaohu Lake from the Niutun River. If in a narrow channel like the Niutun River, there is no room for warships to maneuver, they will die when they encounter a small suicide submarine. This has been tested before.
So the Japanese army was very distressed, and Terauchi Shouichi was even more distressed. When they arrived in Baiqiao Town, the Japanese army found out that their strategic purpose had to be changed. Everything was not completed, but was calculated by the secret service battalion.
With the retreat of the Leopard Battalion and the Independent Division back to Chaohu, the Secret Service Battalion has already gone south to Zongyang County, completely abandoning Wuwei County and Lujiang County. As soon as he withdrew, the Guangxi faction took over Lujiang County.
? At the request of Chief Officer Li and Officer Bai, the national government increased its troops to Hefei by four divisions in one step, which made Hefei a lot easier, and only then did he have the energy to take over Lujiang County.
? The spy battalion could not be encircled and suppressed, Temple ShouYi didn't intend to enter Zongyang County now, and he didn't even dare. Once he led his troops to the south, the Guangxi Clan would naturally take the opportunity to retake Chaohu and Hanshan County, and even He County, so as to attack Quanjiao northward and break the Japanese army's control blockade.
More than 30,000 people were taken away at once, and the first-line troops in Chaohu Lake were a little empty. At this time, Chief Bai and Chief Li were ready to move. In Feidong County, the Guangxi faction had launched an offensive and was cleaning up every stronghold outside Feidong County.
There are two regiments of the Japanese Army in Feidong County. They have just replenished their supplies. Although the offense is insufficient, they have more than enough defense. Siuchi Shou is not afraid when he arrives, but he has his own plan, and the national army also has plans for the national army. The elimination of the Japanese army in Feidong County has their own ideas.
On April 9, the new aviation brigade of the Chinese National Army carried out its first military operation, flying from Xinyang to Hefei to support Hefei.
This time, forty planes were dispatched, mixed by Chinese and American pilots. It was also a test of the results of several months of training, and it was also the first battle of the newly formed aviation brigade to carry out air strike missions.
The Japanese army did not expect that, in fact, when the man from the national government called in person and told Chief Officer Bai and Chief Li about this matter, they couldn't believe it. The most elite forces of the national army were mobilized.
This is absolutely iconic. For a long time, the Japanese air strikes have cast a deep shadow on the national army, because the national army has no counterattack capability against the Japanese air strikes, and even most of the troops do not have anti-aircraft weapons. I can only watch helplessly.
This pain lasted from 1937 to early 1943. Finally, in the early morning of April 1943, more than forty Curtiss Tomahawk bombers set off from Xinyang and flew all the way to Hefei, carrying out bombardment of Feidong County. Bombing, hundreds of bombs were dropped on various fortifications of the Japanese army, destroying their fortifications.
Following the bombing was the bombardment of the Guangxi faction, and then Chief Li personally commanded and launched a battle to recover Feidong County. A total of 80,000 troops were mobilized for this campaign. Under the cover of planes and artillery, Feidong was directly smashed open At the gate of the county, the battle raged fiercely.
After a night of street fighting, the Guangxi faction lost more than 4,000 people. Under the cover of artillery fire, they completely surrounded and annihilated more than 7,000 Japanese troops and took Feidong County back. This was the Feidong County victory.
The great victory in Feidong County greatly stimulated the battle situation in Anhui Province, greatly affected the arrogance of the Japanese army, and completely changed the battle plan of Shouichi Terauchi, which dealt a great blow to the Japanese army.
Feidong County is the gateway to Hefei. As long as Feidong County is there, the Japanese army will not be able to take Hefei. Now that Feidong County has been recovered, the entire Anhui battlefield is encouraged. It is far more meaningful than the various victories of the military battalion. , of course for the Guangxi family.
As for the recovery of Feidong County, half of the results of the battle were lost for the Japanese army. All the strongholds have advanced all the way to Suwan and Miaogang.
This made Shouda in the temple furious, and he had to immediately dispatch troops to rush back to Hanshan County, otherwise, the Guangxi Clan would take advantage of the emptiness of troops, and it would be very lively if Hanshan County was captured.
But withdrew to Hanshan County, and all the strategies of the Japanese army had to be abolished. Wuwei County, which had not yet been fully occupied, was attacked by the spy battalion and soon fell again. Even on the southern front, the national army pushed the front to Daguan Town Along the way, the war situation was further unfavorable to the Japanese army.
With the advance of the National Army, the 31st Brigade attacked Qilin Town, captured Qilin Town on April 11, merged with the 92nd Division of the National Army, and threatened Tongcheng.
Following the movement on the Eastern Front, the national army also launched some offensives against Wuhan from Xiaogan, and another attack on Macheng from Hong'an County, which made the Japanese army a little bit battered. In South China, General Xue also began to continuously launch counterattacks, holding back The South China Front Army, the two sides fought together.
The ever-changing situation is the main rhythm between China and Japan. It was also in this year that the government's visit to the United States won the approval of the Americans and increased assistance to China, from planes to tanks, from ammunition to guns, to serve the national army Armed with more than a dozen American equipment divisions.
In addition, as the U.S. military joined the War of Resistance, it continued to confront the Japanese army, which greatly weakened the Japanese army's transportation capacity. Since 1943, the supply of the Japanese army has once become a major problem, and there has been a shortage of troops.
In Japan, many people did not want to come to China to participate in the war, so they joined the rebel army, which made the already tense supply of soldiers even more scarce. On the contrary, the rebel army expanded from six to seven thousand people to more than 13,000 in four or three years People, causing quite a headache in Japan, the rebel army is like a dog skin plaster, hard to shake off and uncomfortable, if they are encircled and suppressed, they will turn into civilians, usually gather to rob various factories and destroy domestic production.
From the beginning of four or three years, it was a bad start for the Japanese army. After that, the Japanese army entered a conservative stage. To be precise, the Japanese army could not keep up with the source of troops or supplies, and the combat effectiveness of recruits The great weakening made the overall combat effectiveness of the Japanese army much worse than that of the veterans, including some commanders who are all newcomers¡ª(Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com)At the beginning, and after that, the Japanese army entered a conservative stage.
