Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Seeing the Japanese soldiers who were still lurking until the moment they died, even Sun Hao, who hated the Japanese soldiers so much, couldn't help but sigh at the Japanese soldiers' perseverance and cursed: "It's his mother's fault, these little devils are like dogs."  I almost deceived them all. We hit them all three times in our test shots. Their losses were so heavy, but no one said a word. Our flares and searchlights swept over them, and they all gritted their teeth and showed no sign of anything.  We must learn from this. Although the little devils are hateful, we still need to learn their advantages and be better than them. Only in this way can we truly defeat them."

    "Sir, the brothers of the Seventh Army have rushed over now, do we want to follow them?" At this time, someone asked from the side.

    Sun Hao turned around and looked around, and found that there were soldiers of the Seventh Army all around him for several kilometers. They were so densely packed that he didn¡¯t know how many there were. He cursed in his heart, and said to the officer beside him in frustration: "Okay, tell me.  Brothers, the whole regiment must withdraw its troops and return to the position.¡±

    "What Tuanzu, are we not going to attack?" An officer on the side asked unwillingly: "Sir, the Japanese have been defeated. This is our best chance to drive them into Nanping City. Why are they retreating?  What¡¯s up?¡±

    "You know nothing!" Sun Hao scolded angrily: "Don't look at the fact that we are surrounded by brothers from the Seventh Army. Even if we go, we probably won't even be able to drink soup, so why bother?  What a waste of effort."

    The officers next to them looked at the soldiers of the Seventh Army rushing towards Nanping City all over the mountains and plains, and then looked at the pitifully few soldiers behind them.  Well, it can't be said to be pitifully small. The commander of their regiment said there were several thousand people, but compared with the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Seventh Army within several square kilometers next to them, it was really not enough.

    Seeing this, the soldiers of the 678th Regiment lost their motivation. They stopped one after another, and under the leadership of the officers, they started cleaning the battlefield on the spot.  As the saying goes, Wu Dalang is a night owl - whoever plays the game is the bird. It is said that under the leadership of Su Rui, the soldiers of the Seventh Army are becoming more and more hungry. When they are cleaning the battlefield, they are rushing for other ** troops.  I generally look down on the weapons and equipment of the Japanese army, such as Type 38 rifles, Type 92 heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, etc., but I prefer the sabers, watches and some rarer gadgets worn by Japanese army officers.  They picked and collected other things like rags.

    As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain. This defeat of the Japanese army is a big deal. When they were bombarded last night, Kumagai Keiichi received a report from the Chief of Staff, Colonel Toshiyuki Sataka, saying that his latent troops were bombarded. Is it right?  The soldiers need to be ordered to withdraw temporarily.

    Kumagai Keiichi's face was still expressionless and he said: "Judging from the way the attackers shot, they may have felt a little uneasy, not that they found anything wrong. Now immediately issue an order to the lurking troops to continue lurking.  The target is not allowed to be exposed, and those who dare to disobey orders will be subject to military law!"

    After the bombardment, when the searchlights and flares of the Sixty-Seventh Regiment illuminated the Japanese army's lurking area, the other staff officers of the 15th Division were also extremely nervous. Only Kumagai Keiichi always believed that his soldiers would not be discovered.  Sure enough, it didn't take long for the observation posts and frontline sentries of the 398th Division to find anything unusual. They reported the situation to Cheng Sheng and the division headquarters, and they relaxed their vigilance.  And the Japanese army's latent troops lurked until about three o'clock in the morning.  It stands to reason that the Japanese army had made extreme preparations before the 398th Division launched an attack on the opposite side. However, just when they were about to secretly kill them, they accidentally detonated a mine through the mine formation. The sneak attack failed and the sneak attack became  Ming attack.  In the ensuing battle, they were met with powerful firepower from the 398th Division. After several hours of fierce fighting, they were unable to break through the 398th Division's defense line. When the sky began to light up, Kumagai Keiichi knew that he was  The desperate move failed.

    "How could this happen? How could this happen?" Standing on the last line of defense of the Japanese army, Kumagai Keiichi looked at the Chinese soldiers rushing toward him. He had long lost the madness he had when commanding the charge last night, and his face had become unusually pale.  .

    Kumagai Keiichi was not an idiot. When he launched the night attack, he did not leave himself a way out. He only sent out three of the four regiments under his command, leaving one regiment distributed in various positions as a left-behind force.  , so that even if the night attack fails, he can still withstand it for a while.  But what he didn't expect was that the Chinese army on the opposite side came for reinforcements, and there were more than ordinary troops. Tens of thousands of troops poured in overwhelmingly, and soon the shabby positions in front were submerged.  , only the last position is still lingering.

    "Your Excellency, division commander, we'd better leave quickly, the Japanese are about to come and kill us." Chief of Staff Sa Taka Toshiyuki ColonelHis face was equally ugly. He was the first to propose the night attack plan, but in the end not only was it unsuccessful, but his own position was also breached by the Chinese army.  Although the person who made the final decision was Kumagai Keiichi, as the chief of staff of the division, he also had an unshirkable responsibility.

    It's just that it's too late to say this now. Seeing the overwhelming influx of Chinese soldiers and the deafening shouts of killing, Saotaka Toshiyuki had no choice but to look at the front. He said to the division commander Kumagai Keiichi behind him: "Your Excellency, division commander,  us

    It¡¯s better to retreat to Nanping City first, we can¡¯t hold it here anymore!  "

    Kumagai Keiichi let out a long sigh. As the division commander of a Japanese field division, how could he not know that the situation was over now? This peripheral position must not be able to be defended. He nodded helplessly: "Okay, order  The forward troops immediately retracted and retreated to Nanping City under alternate cover."

    "Hai!"

    In this way, when Kumagai Keiichi led the remaining Japanese troops to retreat to Nanping City in embarrassment under the pursuit of countless Chinese troops. When Kumagai Keiichi ordered his men to count the number of people, it was discovered that in just one night, the number of his fifteenth division had  It has shrunk by more than half, from the original more than 20,000 people to only more than 10,000 people now. Including the 63rd Division originally stationed in the city, they now only have more than 20,000 people left. Facing  With the Chinese army outside, he kept praying that reinforcements from the Kwantung Army would arrive as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to resist the Chinese army, which had an absolute advantage in both military strength and firepower.

    Just as Kumagai Kei couldn't help praying for the arrival of Kwantung Army reinforcements, with the arrival of an ugly-looking J-52 Junkers transport plane, a man also arrived at a temporary location more than two hundred miles outside Nanping City.  Field airfield.

    When the plane was taxiing slowly on the earthen runway, dozens of generals and officers who had been waiting beside the runway for a long time also stood at the door of the cabin waiting as soon as the cabin was opened.

    The hatch slowly opened, and a general in his forty-six or seventeen years old, wearing the rank of Army General, slowly walked out. This general was of medium build, with a Chinese character face, and two thick eyebrows that added to his majesty.  It makes people look in awe.  When he stepped off the gangway of the plane, a lieutenant general who had been in front of him immediately walked up, saluted loudly, and said loudly: "Commander Bai Jingran of the 400th Army of the Seventh Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army was ordered to salute Commander Bai."  Report, sir, thank you for your hard work coming all the way!"

    The person who got off the plane was General Bai Chongxi, the then Minister of Military Training of the Nationalist Army and Deputy Chief of Staff of the National Revolutionary Army.  After Su Rui and Liang Zhi decided to invite Bai Chongxi to command the battle in Fujian, they immediately submitted an application to the National Government. They originally thought that Chairman Chiang would take the opportunity to make things difficult, but they did not expect that the Ministry of Military Affairs would quickly  Su Rui agreed to his request, but added a condition to the agreement telegram, which was to allow Su Rui to provide another batch of Wildcat fighter spare parts and a batch of new fighter jets to the Central Air Force, and this time the National Government Ax also  They no longer want the Wildcat fighter that has been eliminated by the Seventh Army, but the new P-47 fighter that is in service. However, this time the National Government is not as big as a lion, only twenty of them.  Looking at the telegram in his hand, Su Rui felt dumbfounded at the time, and he quickly agreed without thinking.

    Bai Chongxi, who had just got off the plane, first looked at Bai Jingran quietly in front of him, then suddenly pointed at him with a smile and said: "Bai Jingran, I know you, aren't you the instructor who came from the teaching corps? I was in ** for twenty-five years.  I saw the drills you commanded when I was in the teaching corps, and you are a very capable officer!"

    Seeing Bai Chongxi telling his origins in one breath, Bai Jingran couldn't help but feel happy, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Thank you for the compliment, sir, I am so ashamed of myself!"

    Although Bai Jingran was already a lieutenant general at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little excited when faced with the praise of the Guangxi giant who had been famous in China for decades. After all, Bai Chongxi's nickname of "Little Zhuge" was not blown out.  , but it took more than 20 years to build it step by step.

    Seeing Bai Jingran still standing motionless in front of him, Bai Chongxi couldn't help joking: "Why, Commander Bai, you are a little bit unwelcome when you see an old guy like me coming, or are you a little unhappy that I took away your command right as soon as I came?"  ?¡±

    Although Bai Chongxi said it in a joking tone, Bai Jingran was still startled and said with a grimace: "Sir, your words are serious, please don't say that. You are a well-known pillar of the party and the country.  It¡¯s already a blessing to have the tail fin attached, so why not be unhappy about it!¡±

    "Hahaha" Bai Chongxi couldn't help laughing, pointed at Bai Jingran and said: "Commander Bai, if you say this, your Commander Su will be unhappy if he hears it."
