Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In order to achieve the maximum tactical effect, before the lighthouse was divided, Wang Guangyu specially ordered the regiment commander responsible for closing the entire encirclement circle that if the 11th Division did not break out toward the Naoli River, the regiment was not allowed to launch an attack.  [.Com text] But if the 11th Division breaks out to the east of the Naoli River with all its strength, even if the regiment is completely wiped out, the main force of the 11th Division will not be allowed to step across the Naoli River.

    Wang Guangyu was very cautious. The reason why he stopped the regiment responsible for closing the final encirclement from taking the initiative was not only worried about being taken advantage of by the 11th Division to find an opportunity to break out, but also more worried about the 8th Division going west to reinforce the 11th Division.  .  By leaving this regiment behind, if the Eighth Division, which is currently resting at the junction of eastern Baoqing and Mishan and Hulin, really goes all out to advance westward, it can at least block it for a while and buy time for the headquarters to reallocate its forces.

    Just half an hour before Wang Guangyu commanded the fifth brigade to arrive at the scheduled deployment location, the first brigade, operating on the northern front, commanded by the political commissar of the column Yi Jianping, had arrived at the Tuanshanzi line after a night of forced march.  In view of the fact that Liu Changshun's troops, who launched a counterattack from the Jinshagang front line, had occupied Qingyuan and compressed the remnants of the 12th Regiment to the 12th Mile line, it was no longer necessary for him to continue to advance westward.

    Yi Jianping made a prompt decision to stop advancing westward.  Without waiting for the attached artillery to arrive, the main force of the first brigade was concentrated under the cover of the brigade's artillery, and the Tuanshanzi front line attacked with all its strength in the direction of Baoqing.  He went straight to the side and rear of the 43rd Regiment, which was fighting fiercely on the front line between Jia Xinzi and his backer.

    Just when Ushijima was furious because the radio was interfered with and became deaf, Yi Jianping's leading group had already defeated a squadron of the 43rd Regiment, seizing the front line of Jia Xinzi's barrier Xuma behind the Japanese army.  A nail was drilled deep into his back.  The main force of the first brigade was also heading southwest of the mountain, forcibly crossing the Dabaishi River, pointing directly at the side and rear of the 43rd Regiment.

    At this moment, in Baoqing County, the Japanese troops who rushed into the city withdrew from the city in a short period of time. Yang Zhen, who had already guessed the Japanese army's intention to retreat, learned that the main force of the first brigade had crossed the Great Hundred.  On the Shihe front line, after reporting that the leading regiment had seized Xu Ma, he immediately ordered the troops holding Xinzi to the backing line to immediately launch a counterattack against the enemy in front of him.

    With the troops of the 1st and 5th brigades, the 43rd Regiment formed an encirclement.  In order to ensure that the front-line defenders of Jiaxinzi, who suffered heavy casualties, had enough strength to counterattack, General Yang Zhen even when Dongguan was most critical, when the Japanese troops rushing into the city had reached less than 500 meters from his headquarters, he would  The last half of the unused reserve battalion was allocated to the defenders on the front line of Jiaxinzi.

    By the time the communications officer sent by Colonel Asakawa, who had finally rushed over, finally found the headquarters of the 43rd Regiment, the remaining 43rd Regiment had been surrounded by reinforcements rushing from all directions.  Clear the Jiaxinzi line in the southwest direction.

    Almost at the same time, the only one of the twelve communications officers sent out by Colonel Asakawa to inform the 43rd Regiment of its retreat plan arrived at the 43rd Regiment Headquarters.  The squadron that was carefully selected by Asakawa Teji to go north to reinforce the remnants of the 12th Regiment had not yet reached the final bottom line drawn by Ushijima Manchu for the 12th Regiment on the 12th Mile Line.  Encountered a large group of enemy troops rushing towards Yongle.

    The Japanese troops in this squadron, who were unable to defend themselves, faced the large number of enemy troops that suddenly rushed out. They didn't even have time to struggle for a few times before they were submerged under the opponent's offensive.

    But what happened at the Jiaxinzi front line and Baocang was due to an abnormality in radio communication at this moment, and all wireless communications were interrupted.  After a period of intermittent communication, the wired communication was finally completely interrupted.  Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru, who can only rely on the most primitive cavalry communication methods to understand the battle situation, does not know.

    Until the leading regiment of the fifth brigade, which was ordered to rescue Baoqing County, ignored the fatigue of the long march and used a fierce offensive to cleanly tear apart the joint headquarters of the two regiments of the 11th Division. In addition to one unit immediately running into Baoqing County,  The main force launched an all-out attack on Dongguan.  At the same time, when the follow-up troops had reached less than five miles southwest of Dongguan, Ushijima Mitsuru was shocked to find that he was now surrounded by enemies on all sides.

    Faced with a war situation that took a turn for the worse, which could even be described as irremediable, Ushijima knew that his opponent might have been plotting against him from the day he entered the territory of Hoqiu.  And judging from the smooth movements of the opponent's main force, it is obvious that calculating himself is no longer a matter of a day or two.

    They deliberately showed weakness and placed only two regiments in the entire Baoqing, using Baoqing County to hold back their main force.  At the same time, he used the natural barrier of Qixing River to block his way to the north.  And its main force is not at all at the 14th Division on the Western Front. Instead, it has already moved to the western mountains of Baoqing and is waiting for the entire army to enter Baoqing territory.  flutterCome over and complete the encirclement of the main force of the 11th Division.

    However, despite thinking about it over and over, Ushijima Mitsuru never figured out what went wrong with his plan to go north, which at least seemed to be seamless, causing his opponent to notice it in advance.  If Ushijima Mitsuru knew that he had been deployed in the 29th Division and had not shown up after the battle at the Naokoi River, which aroused Yang Zhen's suspicion, would he regret it and give himself a few hard slaps?  mouth?

    Although I didn¡¯t figure out what was wrong with me, my opponent saw the flaw.  But one thing Ushijima Mitsuru can be sure of is that he will use the 29th Division's offensive on the center line to attract the attention of the opponent's main force, and command the 11th Division to take advantage of the weak troops in Baoqing to go north and take Jiamusi directly.  The plan was definitely not leaked from his own side.

    Because this plan was made by myself and not by anyone else.  The combat order was not issued until the 11th Division arrived at the junction of Baoqing and Mishan.  As for the Fifth Army, it was only after the attack on Baoqing County began that the specific movements of the 11th Division were not revealed, and it was even less likely to be leaked.

    The development of the battle situation did not give Ushijima Mitsuru much time to think about it.  Looking at the increasing strength of the opponent, listening to the intensive sound of gunfire from Jiaxinzi's front line.  Ushijima knew that he was thinking of a way out. Faced with opponents surrounding him from all sides, the 11th Division might really die without a burial place.

    Now, for Ushijima Mitsuru, the most important thing is not to find out where the flaw is exposed, but how to escape.  It's just that we don't know how many troops the opponent has come up with, and we don't know what their equipment is. This makes Ushijima Mitsuru, who always thought he was decisive in killing, feel at a loss for the first time.

    Under Colonel Asakawa's repeated urging, especially after receiving the news that a large number of anti-Manchu armed forces were discovered on the Baojin front line, which was very close to Beiguan, where the 44th Regiment Headquarters was located, he knew that the original retreat plan was no longer possible.  Ushijima Mitsuru, who might be able to complete the task, did not hesitate at all this time. He immediately ordered the 44th Regiment to blow up all the baggage and heavy weapons that could not be carried, and retreated with all his strength to the east of the Naoli River where no trace of the enemy had been found yet.

    After ordering the 43rd Regiment to leave two squadrons of troops to hold off the opponent, they also immediately showed up at the station from Jiaxinzi and broke out to the east of the Naoli River with all their strength. The 44th Regiment immediately after crossing the Naoli River,  Seize the ferry, cover and order the 43rd Regiment to immediately move closer to the 44th Regiment on the spot.

    In Ushijima Mitsuru¡¯s view, as long as they can seize the opportunity before the opponent¡¯s encirclement is completely closed, they can get rid of the opponent¡¯s encirclement by crossing the Naoli River and retreating eastward to the Jianshanzi line.  At this time, the Eighth Division was resting at the junction of Mishan and Hulin.  As long as he reached the front line of Jianshanzi, he would be within the defensive circle of the Eighth Division, and he would be safe.

    Just how to notify the 43rd Regiment, which has lost all wired and wireless communication links, besides the dense sound of gunfire in the west that conveys the message that the 43rd Regiment is fighting fiercely with its opponents, makes Ushijima full.  The lieutenant general and the second commander Asakawa Lai were worried.

    Although the 43rd Regiment and the 44th Regiment are now cut off by their opponents, if the 44th Regiment stays on the Dongguan front line, they can form a horn with the 43rd Regiment.  Once the 44th Regiment breaks through, even if the 43rd Regiment is still fully equipped, it may not be able to survive in the face of the main force of the opponents encircling them from all sides.

    Even though Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru was confident in the combat effectiveness of the 43rd Regiment, he still understood the allusion of the ants killing the elephant.  Even the 6th Division, which is known as the strongest combat force in the Imperial Army, was defeated by the opponent's offensive. The strength of the 43rd Regiment at this time was far less than that of the 6th Division, which had two regiments before the entire army was destroyed.  group.  Once they lose the support of the 43rd Regiment, they may not even have a chance to break through.

    But if the 44th Regiment is allowed to stay in Dongguan, the current strength of the 44th Regiment has dropped sharply to less than half of its full strength, and the ammunition has been exhausted.  The enemy's opponent has three regiments of troops, and I'm afraid it's even more dangerous.

    But if Ushijima Mitsuru is allowed to leave the 43rd Regiment and escape on his own, let alone the 44th Regiment, which currently has less than six squadrons left, can he break out of the enemy's encirclement?  Mitsuru Ushijima couldn't bear the responsibility of leaving an entire reinforced alliance to his opponent.  Even if he, Ushijima, could escape, the Tokyo base camp and the Kwantung Army headquarters would not be able to spare him.

    At this moment, Mitsuru Ushijima, who was a little worried because all communications with the 43rd Regiment were cut off, kept thinking about the choice between the two regiments.  As for the Twelve Regiments on the front line of Twelve Miles, Ushijima was completely ignored in his heart.  The opponent has already reached the outskirts of Beiguan, and there is no need to question the outcome of the temporary brigade formed by the remnants of the 12th Regiment.  Therefore, in Ushijima Mitsuru's breakout plan, this brigade was not included at all.Get into it.

    "Just when Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru was worried about how to contact the 43rd Regiment, he didn't know what kind of madness God had gone to, and he actually turned on these beasts.  Or was Ushijima Mitsuru's misfortune coming to an end.  Radio communications, which had been severely interfered with, were suddenly restored.

    Seeing that the radio contact was restored, Ushijima Mitsuru, who was overjoyed, immediately sent an order to the 43rd Regiment Captain Aoyama Kiyoshi to immediately retreat to the east of the Naoli River. After that, he immediately ordered the 44th Regiment to turn around and head toward the enemy at all costs.  East breakout.

    Originally, according to Ushijima Mitsuru, compared with the 43rd Regiment on the line between Nobuko in the west of the city, the 44th Regiment, whose main position is between Dongguan and Beiguan next to the Naili River, would be much easier to break through.  convenient.  What he didn't expect was that the result of what he thought was a breakthrough was quite unexpected.
