Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After successive attacks failed and they paid a heavy price, but still failed to get closer to the 32nd Regiment, Lieutenant General Yokoyama Shizuo sent letters almost an hour urging them to break away from the enemy immediately.  The most important thing about the urging telegram to return Chaoyang's full support is that if it continues to be delayed, it will also fall into an overall situation of being surrounded from all sides.

    Several Japanese commanders on the battlefield east of Luofugou felt that if the battle continued like this, the entire army would be destroyed. After urgently requesting Lieutenant General Shizuo Yokoyama, they finally gave up and fought with them.  Separated by a mountain, the main force of the 31st Regiment gathered together and turned around to break out to the south with all their strength.

    Concentrate all the remaining forces, use one force to cover the two wings, and use the two squadrons to advance head on. Turn your head and break out in the direction of the Wei family shack with all your strength. Join the advancing army as a regiment and fight fiercely on the front line between the Wei family shack and Xiaofang body, desperate.  They made an all-out assault southward, trying to open up a retreat route to Chaoyang in the shortest possible time.

    Of course, there are also some who are too tight with the enemy troops in front of them and can no longer evacuate the troops. They can only let them stay and cut off their tails to save their whole body. This kind of gecko tactic is already accustomed to the Japanese army, so they will  These people stayed, and the commander of the Eighth Infantry Regiment, who was responsible for front-line command, did not feel any guilt.

    Those seriously wounded who could not be evacuated were all given a grenade, and the lightly wounded who could still move were all left to cooperate with the troops behind them to make a last counterattack against the enemy to cover the retreat of the main force. Those who had already fallen into  The wounded who were unconscious had someone to help them.

    As for the two infantry brigades of the 31st Regiment that have never been able to break out of the encirclement, as well as the captain of the 31st Regiment, Colonel Kobayashi Shimaji, they can only ask for their own blessings now. This battle will not affect the battlefield east of Luofugou.  For the Fifth Regiment and the Seventeenth Regiment of the Eighth Division, they have really tried their best.

    In order to rescue the 31st Regiment, they fought bloody battles for a whole day and night, and their offensive momentum never stopped for a moment. By the time they retreated, they were separated from the main force of the 31st Regiment by a ridge, and the deafening roar on both sides  The sound of gunfire and shouts of death can be heard clearly.

    However, after several hard battles and nearly one-third of the casualties, they could not get over it. For the two Japanese troops, who were only separated by a ridge, they could not cross this final threshold. Now rescue  The troops themselves cannot be protected, and the division and regiment headquarters cannot be protected themselves. The only one he, Colonel Kobayashijima, can rely on is himself.

    After all, whether in terms of the importance of the target or the number of troops, the 31st Regiment, two infantry brigades with a total strength of less than 500 people, is far behind the safety of the main force, let alone  The safety of the division headquarters is important, not to mention that there is a military headquarters in Beipiao, which is close to Chaoyang.

    In order to be able to withdraw to Chaoyang in time, the rescue division headquarters was caught in the fire and water. The Japanese troops on the Luofugou battlefield acted quickly and decisively. Their breakout momentum was extremely fierce. They adopted a force under the cover of all artillery fire.  The group organized with an infantry squadron charged, trying to open up a retreat route in the shortest possible time.

    Facing the changes in the enemy's situation, Cao Yafan felt that the casualties would be too high and the progress was not fast. After discovering that the Japanese army had given up the westward advance and the entire army went south to break out, with Li Mingfeng's consent, he moved away from the front of the Wei family's shack and mobilized  The troops blocked the Japanese army's retreat route in front of them, and attacked in multiple ways on both sides, weakening the enemy little by little until they were completely annihilated.

    The two battalions that penetrated from the enemy's rear in the direction of Xinhui seized the front line of Shuangmiao and Damaigou, and then attacked from north to south with a company as the organization. They used a regiment from the advancing army to strengthen the strength of one battalion, equipped with two mountain artillery pieces.  company, one infantry artillery company, plus two mortar companies, and five 12mm machine guns.

    Withdrew to Shijiazi and Shijiazi Nangou to set up ambushes, and formed two ambush circles with the battalion as the organization. Qianjiawa, Tangzhangzi and Taishangou on the Jianping-Chaoyang highway were used as the bottom of the ambush circle.  An advancing battalion set up an ambush here. At the same time, the Luofugou defenders deployed two organic companies and penetrated the enemy's flank along the line between Hebei and Jiaojie ditch.

    These two organic companies were the last two companies put together by the front-line defenders of Luofugou. After a full day and two nights of fierce fighting, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties. The casualties of the anti-alliance defenders, who were facing attacks from two sides, were also heavy. By the time the Japanese army  When they turned, the two organic battalions could no longer form a single battalion.

    The only two organic companies were made up of two battalions that pieced together all the squads and platoons that still maintained their organic integrity. Although the Japanese army was exhausted in the battle of Luofugou, the entire Luofugou battlefield  The Anti-Japanese Alliance has also exhausted all its strength. Except for the two battalions that went behind the enemy's back, the three regiments participating in the battle can no longer form a complete organic battalion.

    And the two regiments advancing on the front line of the Wei family shack were facing two Japanese infantry corps.In the fierce fighting, although the support point of the Japanese flank of the Wei family shack was finally captured, the two regiments also suffered heavy casualties in the hard battle. The two sharp knife battalions that served as the main attack were all disabled.

    After taking down the Wei family's shack and various surrounding support points, only one-third of the two complete organic battalions before the war were left. It can be said that if they continue to hold on, although the enemy troops cannot escape, the entire building will be weakened.  The troops participating in the battle in the northeastern battlefield will probably suffer a huge loss of vitality.

    The turning of the Japanese army in front of him undoubtedly made Cao Yafan himself slightly relieved. If the attack continues like this, the situation cannot be changed in a short time. Even if the Japanese army in front of him is completely annihilated, I am afraid that the various anti-alliance departments participating in the war will basically be defeated.  They are almost crippled and have no energy left to turn in other directions. Once this situation is really formed, it will have a considerable impact on the subsequent battle.

    Since the Japanese army is desperately trying to break through to the south in an attempt to rescue Chaoyang City, they will change their original hard-top tactics and adopt multiple ambush layers to skin them, combined with multi-channel infiltration and segmentation tactics to cut the huddled Japanese army into pieces.  After that, he was completely defeated in one fell swoop.

    During the retreat of the Japanese army, they used the favorable mountainous terrain along the way to block the Japanese army with firepower, peeling off the skin of the Japanese army layer by layer until their effective strength was completely consumed. They used various weapons in their hands to set up a line on the Japanese army's breakout route.  Strips of fire net.

    The Japanese army was extremely eager to break through. The Japanese army, which had almost no intention of fighting, desperately retreated south regardless of casualties. Cao Yafan concentrated his firepower and intercepted the Japanese army's retreat route layer by layer. The troops on both wings adopted wolf pack tactics and continued to tear apart on both wings.  Biting the retreating sequence of the Japanese army, they continued to bleed the Japanese army.

    Cao Yafan gave very clear orders to the assault troops on both wings. They were not required to eat many Japanese troops in one bite. Their mission was to continuously bite off pieces of flesh from the Japanese troops through continuous penetration and attack, so as to weaken the main force of the Japanese army to the maximum extent.  With so many troops, the Japanese troops who broke out of the encirclement suffered huge casualties almost every step forward.

    Facing more and more enemy troops in the surrounding area, the Japanese troops who broke out of the encirclement were replaced by the commander of the 8th Infantry Regiment, who was sent to the west together with the headquarters by a mountain of artillery shells, and the commander of the 5th Infantry Regiment, who commanded the entire Luofugou East Battlefield.  Under the command of Colonel Shigetoshi Okajima, they did not dare to hesitate or pause, and fought hard all the way to break through to the south.

    As for those who were being bitten piece by piece by the surrounding wolf-like enemy troops, either a small squad, most of a squadron, or even an entire squadron, they did not care about rescue at all. These were divided  The small group of troops was regarded by the Japanese army as an abandoned soldier dragging the surrounding enemy troops.

    The Japanese are not only ruthless to their enemies, but also to their own people. When they need to cut off the wrists of strong men, they will do it without hesitation. As long as they can ensure that most people escape, although some people are lost, overall it seems to be a good deal.  , and those separated troops also consciously resisted desperately.

    Therefore, the main force of the Japanese army, eager to escape, abandoned the separated troops and rushed southward like a wolf or a pig. Colonel Okajima Shigetoshi had only one goal, and that was Chaoyang City, and he also knew clearly that,  As long as you cross the highway from Jianping to Chaoyang, you will be safe.

    Just when this Japanese army finally broke into the front line of Shijiazi, the Japanese soldiers who thought they were safe breathed a sigh of relief. When the leading infantry brigade had just passed Shijiazi, the following troops had not yet caught their breath.  tone, along with a burst of intensive mortar shells, intensive gunfire and shouts of death rang out around Shijiazi.

    A reinforced battalion of the advancing army rushed out from the mountains on both sides of Shijiazi, directly cutting the total strength of the five infantry brigades from the raid on Xinhui to only two large brigades of Japanese troops.  Except for the incomplete infantry brigade that passed first, the artillery behind and the remaining three squadrons were all cut off in the area north of Shijiazi.

    After cutting off the Japanese army's front and back contact, the unit immediately occupied the mountains on both sides of Shijiazi with one company to block the return of the Japanese advance troops. The three main companies were all mixed up with the Japanese follow-up squadron. The two sides were in Shijiazi.  A fierce close battle broke out on the front line.

    After the retreat sequence was cut off and he discovered that there were not many enemy troops in front of him, Colonel Shigetoshi Okajima was ready to turn around and rescue the cut-off follow-up troops. However, before he could mobilize his troops, the twin temples on his flanks  In this direction, a company of the Anti-Japanese Alliance suddenly appeared and rushed towards his flank.

    The sudden appearance of the Anti-Japanese Alliance company shocked Colonel Okajima Shigetoshi. He immediately felt sensitively that the sudden appearance of the company was definitely not isolated. The enemy would definitely have follow-up troops. If he  If we delay too long on the Shijiazi front line, once the enemy's main force is outflanked from the flanks, the remaining troops will be destroyed.I'm afraid none of the troops will be able to leave.

    The soldiers were beaten, and Colonel Okajima Shigetoshi, who wanted to rescue but was unable to do so, finally chose to continue to retreat south. He ordered the surrounded Japanese troops to blow up all equipment that could not be carried, throw away all equipment that might become a burden, and use all his strength.  After the order to break through to Jianping County, they continued to retreat south with the remaining troops.

    As for the enemy troops that suddenly rushed up from all around, whether the troops who were already in disarray could still have the energy to break through to Jianping City, Colonel Shigetoshi Okajima thought there shouldn't be too many problems.  Among the enemy troops setting up a front-line ambush, no more than one battalion appeared on the battlefield.

    His divided troops were able to form more than two squadrons of infantry alone. With the addition of half a machine gun squadron and a mountain artillery squadron, the force was quite abundant. Although it was temporarily intercepted by the enemy, as long as it was caught before the enemy  Before the army's follow-up troops catch up, there won't be many problems in being able to merge and protrude.

    In particular, what sticks to them is not the Anti-Alliance, but the slightly worse-equipped Advance Army. Okajima Shigetoshi believes that when the enemy and our forces are roughly equal in strength, it may be more difficult to get rid of the Anti-Alliance in a short time, but he wants to get rid of the Advance Army.  , it shouldn¡¯t be too difficult.
