    Wang Guangyu was not in a good mood, and gradually eroded the strength of the 43rd Regiment. After achieving the first stage goal of compressing the 43rd Regiment into a group with superior strength and firepower, Wang Guangyu stopped.  He stopped and used the 122 rocket launchers to concentrate all the special artillery shells to cover the entire encircled area of ??the 43rd Regiment with firepower.

    Hundreds of rounds of fuel-air artillery shells plowed the last position of the 43rd Regiment like a plow. The huge high temperature generated and the large-scale oxygen-deficient space caused by the explosion directly plowed the 43rd Regiment.  The 3rd Regiment was sent to hell. After the earth-shattering explosion of hundreds of shells, the 43rd Regiment, as a regiment of the Japanese army, had completely disappeared from the earth.

    After these nearly a thousand rounds of artillery shells were fired, in addition to the charred corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the 43rd Regiment's position, the only ones left were the Japanese soldiers who died of suffocation due to lack of oxygen, and the one who thought he could hold on until the reinforcements arrived  Colonel Aoyama Kiyoshi did not escape the disaster and was cremated directly by the Dabaishi River along with his regiment.

    After the defeat at Jinshagang and the two-day attack on Baoqing County, the one with the largest number of troops and the most complete combat effectiveness among the three regiments of the 11th Division was completely destroyed. It was only the first step in the encirclement and annihilation of the 11th Division.  It's just one step. Of course, the remaining 44th Regiment is not considered a major event due to the number of troops and firepower.

    Compared with the 43rd Regiment, which fought hard all night and failed to break through the encirclement, the remnant of the 44th Regiment, which was trying to break out of the encirclement eastward and tried to cross the Naoli River, did not end well. It was originally thought that it could become  The Naoli River, which was its own natural barrier, became a river of life and death for the remaining troops of the 44th Regiment when the 44th Regiment broke through.

    The remnants of the 44th Regiment, under the command of Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru, who personally took part in the battle, concentrated a large number of troops in an attempt to forcefully cross the Naoli River and open a channel for the follow-up troops. All operations suffered heavy losses, and preceded the 43rd Regiment.  The 44th Regiment that broke through also gained little benefit from the night battle.

    No matter whether Ushijima was stowaway or attacking by force, he was beaten back by his opponents with intensive machine gun and mortar firepower. Ushijima tried all kinds of tricks and fought fiercely all night, but he could not take a single step forward.  Lihe, after a night of fierce fighting, Japanese corpses were floating everywhere in the Naoli River.

    Mitsuru Ushijima, who had participated in the so-called mainland battles and was considered a battle-hardened veteran, had never seen an opponent with so many light and heavy machine guns and mortars. According to his estimation, the opponent's machine guns were deployed in front of the Naoli River.  , more than four to five hundred, including light and heavy mortars plus rapid-fire artillery and infantry artillery, there are estimated to be hundreds. These machine guns and mortars formed a tight firepower network, swallowing up all those trying to cross the river.  Japanese soldiers.

    Although the opponent's firepower is meticulous, Ushijima Mitsuru, who is eager to make a breakthrough, can no longer take this into consideration. With the enemy in the north having already reached Beiguan and is close to Dongguan, it is now the most important thing for Ushijima Mitsuru.  The key is not the number of casualties, but crossing the Naoli River and opening an escape route.

    Knowing that the Naoli River was the only way to escape for the 11th Division, no matter how reluctant Ushijima was, he could only fill it in one squadron after another in order to open up a way out. Although the battle was almost dawn, watching  Both sides of the river and in the river were covered with the corpses of dead Japanese officers and soldiers as well as the wounded. Even Ushijima Mitsuru, who had always regarded soldiers as expendables, felt that he couldn't fill it up, but in order to survive, he could only bite the bullet and continue to fill it up.  Go down.

    After a night of fierce fighting, Ushijima Mitsuru was still unable to break through the blocking line set by his opponent at the Naoli River. However, behind him, the opponent's reinforcements had reached the front line of Beiguan, and the opponent on the southern line had at least one regiment of troops, but they had no time to spare.  Then, just as Ushijima took advantage of the opportunity for the 44th Regiment to take advantage of the Naoli River, the reinforcements from the north and the south, as well as the Peng Shilu Third Army who returned to the sun after receiving reinforcements, had already completed the attack on the Fourth Army.  The remnants of the 14th Regiment were encircled.

    At dawn, more than 3,000 people from the 44th Regiment, the main search force of the 11th Division, and the Artillery Regiment were surrounded on the west bank of the Naoli River south of Dongguan, less than two kilometers long from north to south and only five kilometers wide from east to west.  A place as big as the palm of a hundred meters is so small that even a bullet can penetrate it.

    Faced with this situation, Wang Guangyu, who was ordered to command Baoqing's operations with full authority, naturally did not hesitate at all. He now has a sufficient number of artillery and ammunition. To deal with these situations, there is neither terrain to rely on nor a solid offensive to support.  Japanese army, he would not exchange the flesh and blood of soldiers for victory.

    After completing the encirclement of the 44th Regiment, Wang Guangyu directly talked about the artillery. He divided the last Japanese position on the map into several pieces. His artillerymen who temporarily formed several artillery groups divided each piece, from the south to  North, blast it directly with rows of artillery shells.

    107 rocket launcher andAll the new artillery shells were used up, leaving only ordinary explosive anti-personnel shells and incendiary bombs. The 1, 2 and 2 rocket launchers and heavy artillery covered the Japanese positions with firepower. The light mountain field artillery carried out close-range and precise shooting at all exposed fire points of the Japanese army.  Millimeter howitzers and mortars of various calibers cooperated with each other to create a blockade between various Japanese positions, cutting off the connection between the various units of the 44th Regiment, while the infantry followed the barrage fired by the artillery fire and fought steadily.

    The Japanese army is tenacious, but they are not invincible. They are naturally immune to opponents ranging from 150mm heavy howitzers, 100mm howitzers, 75mm mountain guns to mortar shells of various calibers. An hour's shelling  Down, the entire defense line of the 44th Regiment completely collapsed.

    By the time the attacking troops following the artillery rushed forward under the cover of thousands of light and heavy machine guns, as well as a large number of flat-firing anti-aircraft machine guns, there was actually not much real battle left to fight, even if they survived the artillery fire.  , the Japanese troops who were still resisting were fired with rocket launchers, grenades and machine guns, and there were only a few people left.

    By the afternoon of the battle, the entire position of the 44th Regiment had collapsed. Most of them were killed and a small number were disintegrated. The 11th Division, which had always relied on firepower to bully poor and weak opponents in the pass, was really kicked to the iron this time.  I also tasted a feast of firepower.

    Looking at the battle report sent by Wang Guangyu, Yang Zhen shook his head. Regarding his request for the next battle plan, Yang Zhen kept thinking about it on the way back to Baoqing. Currently, all the Japanese military units in the entire Northeast Manchu area, except those still in Suiyang,  Except for the 12th Division which is still intact, the remaining 14th and 29th Divisions are already incomplete.

    The rest of the 6th, 10th, and 11th Japanese divisions that participated in the war have been completely destroyed. How long the remaining 8th division, which has been depleted, can hold on, can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and they stormed the honeycomb at Dukaishan.  At the front line of the mountain, the main force of the armored brigade commanded by Sun San has cut the only half of the 15th Regiment that still has combat effectiveness in the unit into three parts and is in the process of encirclement and annihilation.

    On the front line of Hongling Ridge in Mishan, a regiment of Du Kaishan, with the cooperation of one armored brigade and one cavalry brigade, was also besieging a few troops of the Eighth Division there. From the comparison of the strength and firepower of the enemy and ourselves,  It seems that the Eighth Division's days in this world are numbered.

    How to fight next, whether to capture the city or focus on the 12th, 14th, and 29th divisions. Yang Zhen carefully calculated the comparison of forces on each battlefield. After the 11th Division was resolved  , the concentration of several brigades of Wang Guangyu and Liu Changshun in the entire Mishan and Baoqing territory is indeed a bit wasteful, but where should Wang Guangyu's next battle direction be directed, it is a matter that requires serious consideration.

    The war situation in Manchuria has deteriorated to this point. Neither the Japanese base camp in Tokyo nor the Kwantung Army commander General Umezu Yoshijiro will continue to turn a blind eye. The reinforcements may have already set off, but it is still unclear which troops will be deployed now.

    Yang Zhen calculated in his mind that in addition to the various Japanese divisions that had appeared on the battlefield, the Kwantung Army had the bargaining chip to reinforce Northeast Manchuria, whether it was the 24th or 25th Division currently resting in South Manchuria, or whether it was deployed in  Qiqihar's 7th Division is still the 51st Division that has just been formed, and it is still the First Division in Heihe.

    The 7th Division is probably unlikely. As the 23rd Division deployed on the front line from Manchuria to Hailar, it protects the rear of the 23rd Division. It can reinforce the second-line division on the Manchuria-Mongolia border at any time when necessary. The 7th Division stationed in Qiqihar  The division will not move easily.

    One of the 24th and 25th Divisions is currently in Rehe, and the other has been responsible for the garrison duty from Xinjing to Harbin after the 4th Division was transferred. When the 25th Division was transferred, the entire depth of the Japanese army was excepted.  Except for a few independent garrison teams, everything was empty, so could it be the first division.

    The First Division stationed in the Heihe Province of Puppet Manchuria is now the closest Japanese army to the battlefield besides the Twelfth Division. It is also the largest threat to its rear area. The actual distance between the two armies is only one  The Xiaoxing'an Mountains are no more than a hundred kilometers wide from east to west and only two to three hundred kilometers wide at its widest point. If the First Division is willing, they can advance eastward at any time.

    His own arsenal, the agencies behind the Northeast Bureau, and Luobei, Tangyuan, and Suibin where the school is located are all within its attack range. During the previous bloody battle, the first division had not been dispatched, and now it has become corrupted by the war situation.  As far as the Kwantung Army is concerned, it will not fail to use this so-called flower of the imperial army.

    After Yang Zhen thought about it for a while, he said to a combat staff officer next to him: "Turn around and go to Boli County to meet up with the chief of staff. In a moment, you will send a message to Wang Guangyu and Liu Changshun and order Wang Guangyu's column to immediately gather its troops and retreat north to Tangyuan."  On standby, ordered Liu Changshun's entire army to go south and cooperate with Du KaishanThe troops remaining in Mishan and Sun San's armored brigade completed the final settlement of the Eighth Division.  "

    "Order the King of the Western Front Xiaoming and Chen Hanzhang's second column to closely observe the movements of the 14th Division, make preparations for a full-line counterattack, and telegraph the Second Department of the Military Region to closely monitor the next movements of the remaining divisions of the Japanese army in the Northeast, especially those stationed in New Zealand.  The 29th Division from Beijing to Harbin and the First Division stationed in Heihe."
