    Having said this, Yang Zhen pointed to the map and pondered for a while before saying: "Let them focus their reconnaissance on the triangle area between the east of Baishi River, the south of Tuanshanzi, and the north of Dongquan. [.Com text  ¡¿If I predict correctly, the 43rd Regiment should be on standby here. "

    After issuing all the orders, Yang Zhen hesitated and asked his staff to send all his deployment and Baoqing's battle situation to Guo Bingxun, hoping to seek Guo Bingxun's opinion.  Yang Zhen, who has always been decisive in killing, was unusually hesitant about this general attack by the entire army.

    Guo Bingxun¡¯s call back was very prompt and concise.  The telegram was sent out, but Guo Bingxun's telegram did not take an hour to reply. There were only eight words in the telegram: "If we continue to break up, there will be future troubles." Looking at Guo Bingxun's concise telegram, Yang Zhen smiled slightly: "In the end, we should fight together.  A good old man knows himself. These eight words explain everything."

    Putting down the telegram in his hand, Yang Zhen turned his head and pushed open the window of the headquarters, listening to the deafening sound of gunfire around the county town.  After a long time, he turned around and said to the combat staff beside him: "Send a telegram to all the troops and order them to be resolute and courageous in the attack. No matter what difficulties they encounter, they must hit the intended target at all costs."

    "We must complete the encirclement of the 11th Division in the shortest possible time, and cleanly and completely eliminate the Japanese 11th Division in the shortest possible time. Tell Sun San, no matter how high the price, we must give  I arrived at the designated area on time to ensure the main combat operations."

    Although Yang Zhen was somewhat hesitant before issuing the general attack order, he is someone who does not make up his mind easily, but once he makes up his mind, he will go all out and never look back.  Judging from the subsequent development of the battle, his general attack order was quite timely.  Even if he gave the general attack order at night, the 11th Division really slipped away under his nose.

    Ushijima Mitsuru was indeed not killed in the bombing. He was lucky enough to escape.  When An Zaijiang was conducting an air raid on Qingyuan, this guy followed the captain's habit of doing morning exercises in a small depression outside Qingyuan.  Of course, he has always been proud of his swordsmanship. The so-called morning training is to practice swordsmanship and slashing for half an hour.

    This has been his unshakable habit for many years.  Whether on the battlefield or stationed, one must practice swordsmanship for at least half an hour every day, and this has not changed for many years.  But this guy never expected that it would be this habit he had developed over the years that saved his life today.

    Although the depression where he was doing morning exercises was just outside Qingyuan Village and was hit by a bomb, luckily the bomb that landed on the edge of the depression was an ordinary fifty-kilogram high-explosive bomb, not a lethal one.  More powerful napalm bombs.  This allowed him to narrowly escape.

    But although this guy saved his life, he was not in a better situation.  He reacted quickly, and when the first bomb exploded, he quickly fell to the ground without being seriously injured, but a piece of shrapnel as big as two palms was inserted into his butt.

    Although my physical fitness has been quite good due to diligent exercise, after all, I have been pampered for many years.  Although his reflexes were still quick, his body was a little sluggish.  The most important thing is that his ability to resist blows is much less than when he was young.  With such a large piece of shrapnel inserted into his butt, coupled with the impact of the shock wave of the bomb explosion, Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru fainted at that time.

    Several guards around him saw that the division commander was seriously injured in a key position, and Qingyuan was blown into a sea of ????fire. They knew that they would definitely not be able to return.  All the military doctors and health equipment at the division headquarters are in Qingyuan, and I am afraid they will also be reduced to ashes in this fire.

    Qingyuan, which has now become a sea of ????fire, has nothing to do not only perform surgery on the division commander to remove the shrapnel, but also wants to find a first aid kit to bandage it.  Seeing that the division commander was seriously injured, several guards did not dare to delay, and did not care about hygiene. They simply bandaged the division commander's noble buttocks with leggings, and then carried Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru all the way.  He ran straight south towards the 44th Regiment on the outskirts of Baoqing.

    Fortunately, Qingyuan is only twenty kilometers away from Baoqing County.  After passing Yongle, they intercepted another carriage that the division's baggage regiment was using to replenish ammunition for the 44th regiment and escaped disaster.  The journey went smoothly and we arrived at the headquarters of the 44th Regiment in Beiguan.

    At the Beiguan headquarters, Captain Asakawa Teiji of the 44th Regiment, who was commanding the troops to launch a fierce attack on Baoqing County in Dongguan, was shocked when he saw the division commander being carried back, and quickly gave up his headquarters.  , and mobilized military doctors for immediate rescue as quickly as possible.

    Fortunately, although Ushijima Mitsuru was injured, there were no major blood vessels in his butt.  Although the shrapnel inserted into his butt was larger, the actual injury was not serious, and he woke up in the evening without any use.

      But when this guy woke up and learned that the 44th Regiment had not yet captured Baoqing County, he immediately called Colonel Asakawa over angrily and gave him a severe reprimand: "Asakawa-kun, it has been a day and a night.  How come you haven't been able to capture Baoqing County yet? Your actions are so slow that the next step of the division's combat arrangements has been delayed. You really embarrass the imperial army."

    Looking at Ushijima Mitsuru who was lying on the camp bed but still looking angry, Asakawa Teji did not dare to argue, and quickly lowered his head and said: "Your Excellency, the division commander, you are incompetent in your position and failed to occupy the treasure within the designated time according to the division plan.  Clear the county seat and ask the division commander to punish you.

    "But your Excellency, Division Commander, the resistance of those anti-Manchu armed forces is extremely fierce. Their spirit of determination is extremely strong, no less than that of the Imperial Army. Although the 44th Regiment concentrated all its forces to launch an all-out attack on the outskirts of Baoqing,  But progress was slow under the opponent¡¯s tenacious defense.¡±

    "In the entire periphery of Baoqing, every position has to be fought for several times before the final ownership can be determined. The tenacity of these anti-Manchu armed forces to resist is something I have rarely seen in many years of military service. Although they have an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength and firepower, they still persist regardless of sacrifices.  Fighting with all his might.¡±

    "Moreover, its tactics are clever and flexible during the battle, which is completely different from our previous opponents. They are humble and incompetent. They paid nearly one-third of the casualties of the 44th Regiment and failed to break through Baoqing County. Please invite troops  The leader punishes."

    "However, Your Excellency, Division Commander, although our regiment failed to completely capture its outer positions and occupy Baoqing County, in addition to the brave fighting of our Imperial Army soldiers, it also inflicted heavy casualties on the defenders. According to my estimates, the casualties between the enemy and ourselves are  Calculated at a ratio of one to five, at most only half of the defenders inside and outside Baoqing County still have combat effectiveness."

    "Do you think the 43rd Regiment should be sent south in advance to take over our regiment's offensive in Jiaxinzi? This will allow our regiment to concentrate its forces while the enemy is already at its weakest and capture the enemy as quickly as possible.  Dongguan, completely destroy all the defenses outside Baoqing and occupy Baoqing as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the division's retreat northward."

    Regarding Asakawa Tiji's request, Ushijima Mitsuru closed his eyes and pondered for a while. He did not answer him immediately, but asked instead: "How is the situation over there with the 12th Regiment? They should have captured Jinsha Gang by this time.  First line, have you broken through the Seven Stars River? I still know Taho-kun¡¯s courage and determination.¡±

    Ushijima Mitsuru¡¯s question made Asakawa Taiji somewhat hesitant.  He didn't know whether he should report the true situation on the front line of Jinsha Gang to the division commander.  Because he didn't know what choice the division commander would make if he learned the true situation on the front line of Jinshagang.

    Ushijima is full of what kind of people can climb to the position of division commander. Even a few years later, on Okinawa, with absolutely inferior troops and firepower, they caused almost a one-to-one casualty ratio to the powerful U.S. military.  If it weren't for the disparity in military strength, and because they were trapped on an isolated island, they would not receive any support.  The outcome of the Battle of Okinawa may not be like this.

    During the Battle of Okinawa, a person who was evaluated as the best Japanese general in the Japanese army by the main enemy he would face in the future, the US military, was so easy to fool.  When he mentioned the situation of the 12th Regiment to Colonel Asakawa Takaichi, he looked hesitant and immediately felt that there must be something wrong with the 12th Regiment.

    Sensing the abnormality, Ushijima Mitsuru struggled to raise his head and looked at Asakawa Osaka and said: "Asakawa-kun, tell me the truth, did something happen to the 12th Regiment? It was the anti-Manchurian armed forces on the front line of Jinshagang who launched a full-scale offensive.  Counterattack or was Tabota defeated? Asakawa-kun, I hope you will tell me the truth."

    As soon as Ushijima Mitsuru said these words, he knew that Colonel Asakawa, who could no longer hide it, could only tell the truth: "Your Excellency, the division commander, Colonel Tabota sent the emperor to the division headquarters and the heavy supply chain in Aohara early this morning.  Five minutes before the team encountered an air attack, he served the emperor during the air attack on the Jinsha Gang line by anti-Manchu armed forces. "

    "As for the 12th Regiment, in addition to casualties in the battle, one-third of its troops were lost in the enemy's despicable air raids. Together with a large number of troops lost in the battle, together with part of the attached 43rd Regiment  , The 12th Regiment has now lost two-thirds of its troops and lost its combat effectiveness. After the death of Colonel Tabota, the remaining troops have retreated to the defense area of ??our regiment. "

    "The opponent dropped a powerful new type of incendiary bomb during the air raid. Not only was this type of incendiary bomb several times more powerful than the standard incendiary bombs used by the Imperial Army Air Force, but once it was ignited it was impossible to extinguish.  Create large areas of hypoxia.¡±

    "Even those who were not affected and escaped by chance would suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen as long as they were within the killing range of this bomb. In the face of this new type of incendiary bomb, even if they were built again  Strong anti-aircraft defenses also did not work with this new type of incendiary bomb., brought heavy casualties to the imperial army.  "

    "In addition to the heavy casualties of the 12th Regiment, all the personnel of the division headquarters and the chief of staff of the division, His Excellency Colonel Masato, also died heroically for their country and served His Majesty the Emperor. And all the baggage stored by the division in the Qingyuan area, together with the division headquarters  All were destroyed in enemy air strikes."

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, after all the baggage stored by the division in Qingyuan has been destroyed, each department of our army can only fight with the ammunition and materials they carry. Judging from the current consumption of ammunition, especially artillery shells, if we  If we don¡¯t capture Baoqing as soon as possible, according to the current reserves of the division, we can only sustain the battle for two days at most. Otherwise, we will have to retreat because we have exhausted our supplies.¡±
