The 18th Division, which had lost the protection of the heavy artillery of the Second Fleet, was like a lost dog that had lost all its support and could no longer become rampant. Even if they managed to muster up the courage to launch a charge, trying to break through the Chinese army's defense line and find a way out, they could only take advantage of the success and return defeated by the tanks of the 47th Mixed Brigade and the artillery of the Hubei 1st Mixed Brigade.
What¡¯s more important is that even Kamio Mitsuomi doesn¡¯t know where to survive!
Ahead is a line of defense tightly surrounded by two Chinese mixed brigades. At least with the current equipment and morale of the 18th Division, there is no hope of a breakthrough. Even if we can break through, what's the use? Could he still fight alone and fight all the way to Qingdao, four to five hundred miles away, to join the Sixth Division? Even if you think about it, it¡¯s ridiculous!
¡°Beyond is the vast sea. Since the Second Fleet was frightened by bombers and fled in all directions on the morning of August 22, there has been no news. It is not even known whether they are still alive. The departure of the Second Fleet also took away the hope of the 18th Division's survival!
?Perhaps it would be a good idea to wait for help at this time? However, on the night of the landing, Kamio Mitsuomi only focused on breaking through the opposite defense line in the early morning. What was unloaded from the warship were all kinds of firearms and ammunition, and did not take into account the issue of food and water at all. After being stranded on the beach, he realized how stupid his decision was, and he wanted to commit suicide by committing suicide!
Just when the northern front was in a deadlock, Umezawa Michiji on the southern front also began to be in trouble, because the Shandong Border Defense Command finally had free hands to rectify the Sixth Division.
On the one hand, the Border Defense Command asked the Air Force to repeat its old tricks and sink the First Fleet that was driven away from the coast of Jiaozhou Bay. On the other hand, it concentrated on the First and Second Divisions of the Shaanxi Army, the First Division of the Hubei Army, and the First Division of the Shanxi Army near Qingdao. The superior forces such as the mixed brigade tightly surrounded the 6th Division, the 29th Infantry Brigade, and the 4th Siege Heavy Artillery Brigade, leaving them unable to advance or retreat. Activities in a relatively large area.
In order to deal with the greatest threat to the Fourth Battalion of Siege Heavy Artillery, the Border Defense Command chose the right time to activate the directly affiliated First Rocket Artillery Battalion, which had never been put into actual combat before. The "Autumn Wind" self-propelled rocket launcher system lived up to expectations and achieved fruitful results when put into actual combat for the first time, destroying the heavy artillery that the Japanese army had worked so hard to carry for dozens of miles.
Since then, the rocket artillery battalion has taken advantage of the trucks' convenient transfer and flexible launch characteristics to take advantage of the Japanese troops in the encirclement from time to time. Each time it is launched, hundreds of shells can be fired in just a few dozen seconds, covering an area of ??thousands of square meters. It has huge lethality and is difficult to defend against, causing Japan a headache. Among them, the headquarters of the 29th Infantry Brigade was accidentally exposed and was discovered by the Chinese. Under the rocket attack, the brigade commander Major General J¨hoji Goro died on the spot, becoming the second Japanese general to be killed in Shandong after Odera Yasunjun. !
I originally thought that I could seize the opportunity to seize Shandong and relieve domestic economic and political pressure, but I failed to steal the chicken and lose the rice. Instead, the 6th and 18th Divisions were trapped in Shandong, and the 1st and 2nd Fleets also suffered. A heavy blow and a severe loss of vitality. After the news came out through Japan Broadcasting Corporation (**s), the whole country of Japan suddenly fell into a state of delirium and mania. Angry people took to the streets one after another. On the one hand, they denounced the cowardice and incompetence of Okuma Shigenobu's cabinet. On the other hand, they demanded that China be more severely "punished for excessive spending" and that China should pay a bloody price!
Seeing that the Okuma cabinet was on the verge of collapse, it had no choice but to convene another cabinet meeting to discuss the war against China. Compared with the last cabinet meeting to discuss the war with China, the atmosphere at this meeting was slightly dull.
Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma's mouth became droopier and he looked quite haggard. After scanning the cabinet members, he slowly said: "Everyone should know that our Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan was besieged by China's superior forces in Shandong. Although the Empire The warriors fought bravely and bloodyly without caring about their own lives. However, it is difficult for them to defeat four hands with two fists. In addition, the logistics supply is difficult, and the current situation is worrying. I wonder if you have any advice? Yashiro-kun? "
Navy Minister Yashiro Rokuro had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "Although the strength of the Imperial Japanese Navy is second to none in the Far East, the Chinese aircraft are too powerful. In the words of the Chinese newspaper, they firmly control the air superiority in the Far East and are very powerful to our navy." Forming a serious threat. In the past few days, the First and Second Fleets participating in the Shandong Operation have suffered heavy losses. The main ships were either sunk or damaged, and their strength has been greatly reduced. Now the Navy Ministry is concentrating all scientific research personnel Develop weapons to deal with aircraft. Before the weapons are put into use, I am afraid it will be difficult for the navy to invest in the Shandong operation again!"
Army Minister Okaichi Nosuke stared angrily: "Yashiro-kun, what do you mean? In order to save their lives, your navy abandoned the 80,000 Imperial warriors including the 6th and 18th Divisions who were transported to Shandong and left them alone. Were they besieged or even annihilated by the Chinese? What if the 6th, 18th Division, etc.The military did two things that made Sun Yuanqi very unhappy: first, it sent three permanent divisions, including the Second Division, to participate in the Northeast War; second, the remnants of Japan's First and Second Fleets joined the Third Fleet to take advantage of the situation. Under the cover of darkness, they successively launched attacks on coastal cities such as Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Xiamen, resulting in a large number of civilian casualties, destroyed houses, and heavy losses.
Sun Yuanqi was furious and immediately ordered to intensify the attack on the Sixth Division and other units. He also deployed Jiang Zuobin's Hubei 1st Mixed Brigade and Zhang Huizan's 47th Mixed Brigade to land in Lushun under the transport of the navy to participate in the attack on the Japanese troops in the Northeast. offensive. In addition, he concentrated all bombers at the Shanghai Naval Airport, aiming directly at Nagasaki, Japan, 800 kilometers away. You did it in the first grade of junior high school, and I did it in the fifteenth grade!
