The officers nearby looked at the lieutenant general with envy in their eyes. The soldiers a little further away looked puzzled when they saw the lieutenant general. This kind of fanning action with a military cap is usually used by the big soldiers digging fortifications. It was getting hot. I took off my hat to enjoy the cool breeze. Could it be that the division commander was doing some physical work just now?
"Boom. Boom." Continuous explosions sounded. Miura Saburo and the think tanks of the 114th Division were all startled. Everyone quickly lowered their heads, protected the division commander, and rushed to safety. Place to run.
After running wildly, I finally found several large vehicles that were coiled together. The commander of the Miura Division took his senior officers and subordinates to hide among several large vehicles. Finally, they found a safe place.
"The Five Hundred Army has begun to attack." Adjutant Takahashi glanced at the officers and soldiers present with lingering fear. Finally, his eyes fell on the division commander.
"General. General."
When Lieutenant General Miura was about to say something else, he suddenly heard someone calling him loudly. The words reached his throat but he was blocked by someone. Lieutenant General Miura felt extremely unhappy. He snorted with a sullen face. "What's the matter? "Something." If you don't tell me one, two, or three, be careful that the lieutenant general will give you some shoes now.
"Chariots of the Chinese ** Corps. There are tanks rushing over." The Japs messenger who came to report was so frightened that his face turned pale. It was always Japanese tanks attacking the infantry positions of the Chinese ** Corps. This guy When have you ever seen the Chinese also have chariot troops?
"General, order Nakamura's tank troops to meet the enemy." Chief of Staff Yasuo Takatsu gave advice to his division commander.
"No. It's not to meet the enemy. It's to cut off the rear." What Lieutenant General Miura said today always surprised everyone. This time it is again.
The Chinese tanks are coming. If you don't send your own tanks to meet the enemy, what will you do? All the officers present looked at the division commander in confusion. Fortunately, Miura Saburo did not intend to play charades with his men. Next he explained why he did not meet the enemy but cut off the rear.
"Gao Quan deployed an army here in an attempt to drag our division here. Once the division is detained here and gets into a fight with the 500 Army, the Mafa 500 Army entrenched in Lingbao will definitely attack immediately. And The Five Hundred Army will attack from both front and back and kill our 114th Division." At this point, Saburo Miura's eyes flashed with cold light. The think tanks around him collectively shuddered. This Gao Quan is indeed sinister and vicious.
"As far as I know, only the Fifth Army of the Chinese Communist Army has an armored corps. When did the 500th Army also have a tank unit? But look at it. Gao Quan has never used a tank. Troops were sent to the battlefield today. What does this mean? Everyone, this means that Gao Quan is desperate to intercept us here. He has brought out all the hidden troops. His goal must be our entire division. The chariot troops of the regiment and the 500th Army are here to hold us back."
The Japanese officers headed by Yasuo Takatsu looked at each other in confusion. Then they once again turned their attention to Saburo Miura who was talking. Maybe this time they really have to rely on the personal wisdom of the division commander to save the entire division. Chief of Staff, Senior None of the staff officers or senior adjutants spoke. They were afraid that if they spoke, they would interrupt the division commander's train of thought.
"Gao Quan wanted to hold us back, stay here, surround and eliminate us. This was indeed a clever trick. Unfortunately, we saw through it." The division leader was not greedy for merit. He said that he saw through Gao Quan's plan. Success belongs to everyone. From this point of view, Miura Saburo is indeed a qualified commander.
"Since we have seen through his trick, we must not let him succeed. We ordered the Nakamura chariot unit to cut off the rear. The main force of the division immediately transferred. Before the Forty Army came up, we jumped out of the encirclement and rushed to Hangu Pass with the Qingshan detachment. Return to Shaanxi County through the difficult but ambush-free road." At the end of the sentence, Miura Saburo clenched his fist and waved it hard. It was as if he had punched Gao Quan.
"Bah bang bang." The lieutenant general's passionate speech received applause from the officers and soldiers present. Including the messenger outside, his face flushed with excitement and he clapped his hands.
The order was quickly passed on. The Japanese chariot squadron was sent to the front of the team. However, their task was not to fight, but to break up the rear. As for Lieutenant General Miura's large force, they set off immediately. They first turned around and went back, and then turned towards the rear. We went in the direction of Hangu Pass.
After receiving the order to cut off the rear, Captain Nakamura was in no better mood than Ozawa Minbu. Even though he was leading a tank squadron, it was not a good thing to leave even the most powerful troops behind for the whole army to cut off the rear. Nakamura was worried. The captain had been cautious enough since he received the order. He had already made up his mind. If the Chinese tank troops attacked too sharply, the captain would not mind driving his tank with the main force of the division.
Wu Guangxing also felt a little puzzled. How could this mission be completed so easily? After he arranged the troops according to the "Infantry Command Regulations", he was waiting for a bloody battle with the Japanese. Who knew the 114th Division was there? The Japs showed their fear as soon as they met him.
The Japanese soldiers stopped and patrolled. The Secretary-General ordered them on the spot.The artillery battalion fired, the armored battalion launched an attack, and a shell hit them. The Japs disrupted the camp on the spot. Our armored battalion hadn't even arrived yet. The Japs actually withdrew their troops. Hey, this battle was so easy to fight.
The Japanese turned around and ran away. Behind them were more than a dozen tanks. The commander of our armored battalion was very happy to see the enemy. He drove the tank and wanted to go up and try his skills on the Japanese tanks. His tank was halfway through. Secretary The commander's order also came. "Stop the advance and monitor in place." The military order cannot be violated. The commander of the armored battalion felt terribly itchy, but he did not dare to disobey the secretary-general's military order at this juncture.
The armored regiment stopped within the firing range. It loaded the ammunition in the barrel and aimed coldly at the Japanese tanks on the opposite side. As long as the guys on the opposite side dared to make the slightest move, the shells here would be able to hit them immediately.
Captain Nakamura was also looking at the Chinese tank opposite him. But his mentality was a little different from that of the armored battalion commander opposite. The armored battalion commander was calm and collected, while Captain Nakamura suppressed the urge to turn around and escape. He bit the bullet. It feels really bad to stand up here and be targeted by the opponent's gun.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. It only lasted for nearly half an hour. Seeing that the large army behind him had already marched out for more than two miles, Captain Nakamura took his tank squadron and turned around and ran away. While running, he looked back for fear that the Chinese tanks would fire and hit him.
Wu Guangxing stared at the Japs retreating. It wasn't until the last tank was out of sight that he ordered the communications soldier: "Send a report to the military seat. The Japanese troops have retreated. They are expected to go to Hangu. Please come early to the military seat." Take precautions.¡±
Miura Saburo was very careful when he walked back. He was afraid that he would be too close to the Lingbao and alert the Forty Army. The Five Hundred Army was right behind him. If he alerted the Forty Army again, the 114th Division would really go away today. It's over.
