Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After fighting until daybreak, I found that after a fierce battle in the middle of the night, I had already filled in the disanshuping with four squadrons, and I no longer dared to fill it in anymore. The four squadrons, plus the depth of the opponent's penetration,  More than two squadrons fell silent. Half a night later, the 63rd Regiment, together with the six attached squadrons of the 11th Division, had lost nearly one-third of its troops.

    According to this number of casualties, if we continue to fill in the numbers, the 63rd Regiment will not need the reinforcements of the 11th Division to catch up. At that time, if the reinforcements of the 11th Division do not arrive, we will lose again.  Combat power, waiting for the result of the 63rd Regiment, there will be no other option except a dead end.

    Adding to the previous casualty figures, in fact, by dawn the next day, the 63rd Regiment had already suffered more than half of its casualties. As the entire Eastern Front, it is currently the only one who enjoys the personal command of the commander of the army, Namada Juichi, and this time  The 63rd Regiment, which had lost its ability to attack at that time, had no choice but to report to Juichi Namada that the regiment had lost its ability to attack and requested to retreat back to the junction of Mishan, Baoqing and Boli for replenishment, or to switch to defense on the spot.

    And Juichi Namada's answer was simple, if you want to retreat, there is no way. At least until the main force of the 11th Division comes up, you have to stay there. If the regiment has lost the ability to continue attacking, then stay there to continue the attack.  Continuous tactical assaults to contain the opponent's forces.

    Although Chuichi Namada did not agree to Tsutsumi Sanshuping's request to retreat, he did agree to step up the supervision of the artillery assigned to the 63rd Regiment to speed up the march, and send aviation troops to fully support the 63rd Regiment before reinforcements from the 11th Division arrived.  Team.

    After receiving a call back from the army commander, Di Sanshuping felt slightly relieved. However, because he could not be rescued, the wails of the wounded soldiers stranded in the minefield caused the morale of the 63rd Regiment to plummet.  Another consequence is the lack of supplies.

    Marching in the middle of the night and fierce fighting in the middle of the night, the 63rd Regiment was really depleted of men and horses. However, after the attack stopped at dawn, all the officers and soldiers of the 63rd Regiment discovered that when they were lightly armed, in order to save as many people as possible  Some ammunition was carried, and all provisions were left where they were.

    For the 10th Division, which was accustomed to fighting on the battlefield in the vast and densely populated pass, when supplies were insufficient, they were requisitioned on the spot. To put it bluntly, it was robbery. Not bringing supplies was not a problem.  That is, when the Tenth Division fought within the Chinese Pass, although it was not as wild as the Sixth Division, it also claimed that wherever there were Chinese people, there would be supplies.

    During the Battle of Xuzhou, there was a rumor within the 10th Division that they would take whatever supplies they needed and capture Xuzhou City and take advantage of Li Zongren. They were predatory and had extremely poor battlefield supply capabilities. The limited supply vehicles had to transport ammunition.  And the wounded Japanese soldiers.

    When fighting in the pass, when they ran out of supplies, they always kicked down the door of someone they saw and went straight in to rob them. If the family had a flower girl or was relatively wealthy, they usually didn't mind eating in the house after solving the problem of food.  In order to satisfy men's physiological needs and make a little money, no one in the Japanese army, from the division commander to the ordinary soldier, was taboo about doing this kind of thing.

    The commander of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army, Tokushige Numata, who was killed by the 18th Army during the raids in Shandong last year, is known as the best among the Japanese army. As a dignified lieutenant general division commander, wherever this man goes, his bodyguards  The first thing he did with his staff was to find a flower girl for him everywhere.

    This dignified lieutenant general division commander raped his biological sister when he was fifteen years old. When he raped the fianc¨¦e of a junior officer in the country, half of his ear was bitten off. He served as a major general in the second division.  P.S., when he was stationed in the Northeast, he was bitten off half of his jaw while raping a Chinese woman, and even half of his genitals was bitten off in one bite in Xuzhou.

    Not to mention Lieutenant General Numata Tokuchuge of the Japanese Army, who was famous for his lechery. After Nanjing was captured the year before last, several division commanders who participated in the Nanjing battle raped Chinese women in public more than once. The dignified Lieutenant General Division Commander  This is true for all, not to mention the officers and soldiers below.

    As a senior military officer, he openly raped women from occupied countries in public, and even publicly raped the fiancee and biological sister of his subordinates. This kind of behavior would be severely punished in any army. Instead of being punished in the Japanese army, he was punished all the way.  After being promoted to the position of lieutenant general division commander, this behavior of the Japanese army cannot but be said to be a strange thing.

    But when they arrived in the Northeast, especially in the war zone, the officers and soldiers of the 63rd Regiment, who were used to recruiting on the spot and solving other problems during combat, discovered that here mountains are connected to mountains, and forests are connected to forests.  There is nothing missing that I have not seen before, but one thing is missing, and that is the people who can be seen everywhere in China.

    Not to mention the war zone with the sound of gunfire all night long, even the original station was within a radius of dozens of miles.Not a single person could be seen within the area. Without people, there would be no place to rob. For the troops of the 10th Division, it would mean no supplies.

    The people here were moved to group tribes when the Japanese army returned to their villages and merged their households. After the Japanese army stationed heavily, in order to keep the so-called military secrets, all the people in this area were moved away, let alone food.  Apart from the Japanese troops, not even a ghost could be seen in the area.

    His own supplies were lost when he set out, and with no place to grab them in this sparsely populated mountainous forest, the officers and soldiers of the 63rd Regiment, who were already exhausted and hungry, could only honestly  Stay where you are, hungry and waiting for the legendary airdrop of supplies from the corps commander.

    It's just that these Japanese officers and soldiers waited from dawn to dusk, from sunrise to sundown. Not only did the airdrop supplies promised by the army commander not arrive, but even the previously promised air support, except for the hundreds of rounds of 92 infantry artillery shells dropped by air in the morning,  In the afternoon, not even one was seen. Not to mention bombing the defenders' positions, not even a grain of rice was dropped.

    Without the lovely figure of the aviation soldier in the sky, these Japanese officers and soldiers who had experienced the pain and torture in the middle of the night and were hungry for a long time felt a strong sense of loss. For Colonel Tsutsumi Sanshuping, it was even more  It was a strong feeling of uneasiness.

    After daybreak, under the repeated strict orders of Hata Shigeichi, he half-deadly launched several attacks on the opponent's position to deal with the errands. The hungry 63rd Regiment stayed honestly opposite Tao Jingfei, in the disanshuping where they could not advance or retreat.  We can only send a small group of troops to find ways to raise food, and on the other hand, send a telegram to Shigeichi Hatada to ask for help, requesting the commander of the army to at least airdrop some supplies, and at least let the troops fill their hungry stomachs.

    In fact, Colonel Tsutsumi Sanjutsubo didn't know that their army commander, Lieutenant General Namada Shigeichi, was also annoyed and had a headache. It could even be said that he was exhausted. How could he have time to deal with his small regiment's meal problem?  To worry about it, for Lieutenant General Hatada Juichi, what is even more worrying now is whether all front-line Japanese divisions can still eat.

    The battle at the front is tense. The four divisions at the front have lost almost half of the battle. This is enough to make Namada Juichi very upset. Now something is happening at the rear. The Hamasui Railway, the main artery of several divisions fighting at the front, has been attacked several times.  , several railway bridges were blown up, a large number of military supplies were transported, and even the military trains for replenishing soldiers were overturned and bombed, making Hatada Juichi almost on the verge of a fire.

    For Juichi Hatada, if food is insufficient, he can collect it on the spot or even rob it. When necessary, even if the Manchus in more than a dozen surrounding counties starve to death, Juichi Hatada will ensure the food supply for the frontline troops, but ammunition  , gasoline, especially aviation fuel and the shortage of replenishing troops, but he absolutely cannot accept it.

    The ammunition originally stored at the front was originally expected to be stored according to the consumption of one month of combat, but now it has only been fighting for about a week, and the ammunition, especially the artillery shells, has been consumed by three-quarters, and the reserve of heavy artillery shells has fallen to a dangerous level.  At this time, when the divisions at the front were in urgent need of replenishment, the railways were repeatedly interrupted. How could this not make Namada Juichi angry?

    In particular, after a column carrying more than 3,000 additional troops that were urgently needed at the front was overturned, it encountered a burst of unknown artillery fire. These two attacks resulted in the death and injury of two-thirds of the more than 3,000 additional troops before they could reach the front.  , the six Type 97 medium tanks and three Taisho 14 Type 150 howitzers carried on board to supplement the front line were also lost.

    What annoyed him even more was that the railway garrison, forest police, and Manchukuo National Army, which were originally mainly responsible for wiping out the Anti-Japanese Alliance, were unable to do anything against their previous opponents this time. They had previously been suppressed into the deep mountains and forests.  The Anti-Japanese League, which was short of guns and ammunition, now seemed to have a different person.

    Not only have the weapons and equipment been greatly improved, the light and heavy weapons are fully equipped, and there is sufficient ammunition, there are even infantry cannons and mortars. The tactical literacy is also completely different from before, it is much better than before.  .

    After several battles, he was responsible for the suppression. In the past, when dealing with the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Railway Guards, the Forest Police and the Manchurian National Army, which had always used firepower to bully others, this time faced the Anti-Japanese Alliance that was completely different from before.  He never took advantage and suffered heavy losses.

    The independent railway garrison and forest police, as well as the local police and garrison forces of the Puppet Manchukuo, who had not taken advantage of the beating, realized that the opponents in front of them were no longer what they used to be. Several times  After repeated defeats in battles and suffering heavy losses in firepower, they could no longer secretly whisper to the puppet Manchukuo military and police who were as domineering as before. I had never seen such a lavish Resistance Alliance.

    "There are anti-Japanese alliances here and there in front of us. In terms of weapons and equipment, they are no worse than the Kwantung Army. Not only are they complete in length, butThere are a large number of heavy machine guns, and even infantry cannons, mortars, and a large number of automatic firearms. People with extremely sufficient ammunition are still the same people who were short of guns and ammunition, and even had no food to eat.
