Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the evening of July 27, the 28th year of the Republic of China, the New Third Division and the Third Brigade behind the New Second Army concentrated their main force and launched a sudden attack on the Japanese army that had just entered the town in Fengqiao Town, northeast of Zhuji.  Four Japanese infantry brigades drawn from two independent mixed infantry brigades stationed in the Ningshao area were continuously harassed by small groups of the New Second Army during the march. Under frequent attacks by cold guns, traps and landmines, about 500 Japanese infantry brigades were killed.  The Japanese soldiers suffered casualties, were exhausted, and had low morale. Now they were suddenly attacked fiercely by the New Second Army, and they were stunned for a while.  The New Second Army was covered by intensive firepower from hundreds of mortars, and then it was suppressed by firepower from hundreds of light and heavy machine guns and an equal number of grenade launchers.  When the Japanese army was beaten and dizzy, the charge bugle sounded.  During the assault, the submachine guns and flamethrowers equipped by the officers and soldiers became a nightmare for the Japanese soldiers. Many Japanese soldiers were suddenly burned to charcoal during the battle. The huge pain of burning their bodies made their shrill screams echo on the battlefield.  Scary outside.  Coupled with the fact that rocket launchers were specially used to attack the temporary defenses during the attack, the battle was one-sided from the beginning.  After five hours of fierce fighting, by early morning, about 3,400 Japanese troops had been wiped out. The Third Brigade itself also paid the price of more than 900 casualties of officers and soldiers.  After cleaning the battlefield, Zhou Juncheng ordered the Japanese 23rd Division and 33rd Division to retreat from the main position of Longmen Mountain and retreat to Baima Ridge, Huamu Mountain and Zhajia Mountain in the north of Zhuji County.  The officers and soldiers of the two attacking battalions immediately moved to Fengqiao, followed the pace of the main force, and marched towards the Ningshao Plain.  As for the people in Zhuji City, in order to prevent the Japanese army from venting their anger on them, they began to evacuate as early as three days ago. Most of the people evacuated to nearby mountains. Some people also evacuated along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway that were destroyed by the New Second Army Engineer Brigade.  Highway, heading towards western Zhejiang to avoid the military disaster.  The battle report quickly reached the headquarters of the New Second Army. Wu Ming greatly appreciated Zhou Juncheng's sudden decision. He immediately agreed to the decision of the third brigade not to return to the army for the time being but to go deep into the enemy's rear. He asked Zhou Juncheng to relax his hands and rely on Kuaiji Mountain, Siming Mountain and other places.  Tiantai Mountain turned the Ningshao Plain upside down, thus attracting the main force of the Japanese army to return for reinforcements.  Let¡¯s look at the battlefield behind enemy lines.  During the period when the war situation in Zhejiang and Jiangxi was rapidly collapsing, the Maoshan detachment of the New Second Army took the initiative and wandered around Jurong, Zhenjiang, and Danyang, seriously threatening the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, the life supply line of the Japanese army in central China.  In order to force the Japanese troops to return for reinforcements, the Maoshan detachment even sent people to sneak into some large and medium-sized towns around Nanjing to root out the traitors and eliminate the lone Japanese troops. This kept the Japanese and puppet troops in Longtan, Tangshui, Jiangning and other places in constant panic and fear. Many traitors and lackeys  I can't sleep at night, and my fear is getting worse day by day.  The Southern Jiangsu Detachment was not to be outdone. Although Changshu, Taicang, Jiading and other county towns were lost and lost due to Japanese attacks, the captured materials and weapons and equipment have greatly enriched the team.  Especially in these several sorties, a large number of ships were seized from the Japanese army. Usually these ships are placed in the reed swamps of Yangcheng Lake, Kuncheng Lake, Shang Lake and other lakes. When needed, hundreds of ships can be gathered at any time to sail along the river.  A large-scale attack was carried out across the rivers and lakes.  In mid-to-late July, the Southern Jiangsu detachment once moved around Shanghai and attacked Nanxiang, an important station on the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, which shocked the Japanese troops stationed in the Shanghai area into a cold sweat.  At the same time, the Pinghu detachment, with the cooperation of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Special Forces of the Military Command, launched an all-out attack on the Japanese and puppet army strongholds in the towns and villages surrounding the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway.  After the Japanese and puppet troops gathered the main force, the Pinghu detachment quickly broke into pieces. Relying on the numerous rivers and lakes in the area, the Japanese and puppet troops had nowhere to start.  The East Zhejiang detachment relied on Tianmu Mountain and successively occupied Fengxiao, Anji and other towns along the Xitiao River.  At the end of this month, the main force of the East Zhejiang Detachment left Moyu Mountain and repeatedly harassed Wuxing, Wukang, Deqing, Yuhang and other counties. Each time, small groups of troops went deep into the surrounding areas of the county. When the small Japanese and puppet troops came out of the city to drive them away, the East Zhejiang Detachment  Immediately gather a large force to surround and annihilate them outside the city.  The situation in the Japanese-occupied areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang deteriorated rapidly. Japanese troops from all over the country sent emergency messages to Yamada Otsuzo on the front line in Hangzhou, giving the new commander who was not known for his commanding abilities a headache.  Chenglu by the West Lake was the temporary official residence of Yamada Otsuzo during his stay in Hangzhou.  Chief of Staff Yoshimoto Sada strode into the study on the first floor and came to Yamada Otsuzo: "Your Excellency, Commander, the latest news is coming from the front line." Yamada Otsuzo snorted coldly and asked unhappily: "Again  "What bad news?" "This time it's good news." Yoshimoto Teiichi smiled awkwardly, came to the wall, opened the curtain, picked up the baton from the staff who was following behind, and pointed to the large map on the wall: "  A month ago, the Second Mixed Brigade of the Marine Corps occupied Wenzhou. It took only half a month to defeat the defense lines of the newly formed 21st China Division, and then advanced more than 50 kilometers.  , drive the 88th China Army out of Qingtian County." Having said that,Ben Zhen coughed and pointed to the map: "Now the Second Mixed Brigade of the Marine Corps has arrived at the gate of Lishui County. Once this important node is captured, the unit will prepare to go north to attack Jinhua. " "Those bastards from the Navy, are you like this?"  How can we be notified of important progress?  "Yamada Otsuzo felt a surge of anger in his heart and couldn't help but rebuke. "The Japanese Army and Navy have always been at odds with each other. Since the Meiji Restoration, the two military systems have been secretly at odds. Now the Japanese Marine Corps has not been able to fight until it arrives in Lishui County.  Notifying Yamada Otsuzo, the essence of this is that the Navy wants to compete with the Army. Yoshimoto Seiichi is well aware of the darkness. Yoshimoto Seiichi did not explain, pointing to the big map and continued to report: "General, I am now thirty-two.  The division and the 116th Division are attacking Jinhua from north to south, while the Marine Corps is launching an offensive from south to north.  With a combined attack from both sides, I believe we will be able to capture the important stronghold of Jinhua, and our strategic intention of encircling the New Second Army can still be realized.  "Let the Marine Corps cooperate with our north-south attack and occupy Jinhua in one fell swoop?"  "Yamada Otsuzo thought for a while and hesitated: "Let's ask the navy for their opinion first." "Hai" Yoshimoto Teiichi took the order and left. Yamada Otsuzo stayed in front of the map, looking at the people who were still stranded in Yiwu City.  The New Second Army had a proud smile on its face. Since the battle between Zhejiang and Jiangxi, other Chinese armies have been defeated at once, but the New Second Army was different on the Zhuji front line. A brigade of troops actually blocked the 23rd Army.  and the 33rd Division within seven days, and then annihilated four brigades drawn from two independent mixed infantry brigades in the Ningshao area. It must be said that this was the most terrifying opponent he had ever encountered.  The biggest headache for Yisan is the New Second Army guerrillas that attack everywhere in the occupied areas. Those guerrillas of varying numbers move irregularly. Often only a dozen or so people dare to take action. They hit and leave, and come back again and again, like flies.  , leaving the encirclement and suppression troops with no choice but to annihilate the main force of the New Second Army in one fell swoop and capture Wu Ming, the god of the Chinese Army, Yamada Otsuzo remembered the suggestion of Okamura Neiji. This would be a blow to the morale of the Chinese army.  A fatal blow. Without their foundation, the guerrillas in the hinterland of Jiangnan will naturally fall apart. Yamada Otsuzo drew a big circle on the map with a red pen, then stared at the map for a long time, and finally revealed it.  A ferocious smile. At this time, the intelligence department of the New Second Army has not yet discovered that another huge encirclement is slowly forming. Jinhua is currently the headquarters of the 10th Army. Due to Liu Jianxu's humiliation of the country, he has been deprived of the title of deputy commander of the theater by the Military Commission.  The post of commander of the Tenth Group Army was appointed as Chairman of the Fujian Provincial Government by the nostalgic Chiang Kai-shek. At the same time, the Tenth Army was reorganized and consisted of the 49th Army, the 79th Division of the Central Army, and the 79th Division, which had completed the Central Military Commission.  Wang Jingjiu, the commander of the 10th Group Army, was personally stationed in Jinhua, and was heavily defended by the elite 74th Army and 26th Army of the Central Army. Wu Ming did not believe that the Japanese army could defeat it in one fell swoop.  Jinhua. But despite this, after repelling the continuous attacks of the Japanese Fifth Division, Wu Ming ordered Zhang Dongning to quickly take the artillery to Quzhou, and the main force of the New Second Army would soon retreat into the war room.  , holding a telegram in his hand, with a displeased look on his face, reported to Wu Ming: "Military seat, an urgent telegram was sent from the Tenth Army Headquarters in Jinhua. Now Yiwu has become a prominent part of the all-day front and is very dangerous. Wang  Jingjiu asked our army to rush to Jinhua as soon as possible to strengthen Jinhua's first-line defense.  "Wu Ming took the telegram, glanced at it, and threw it aside. Dai Ziran looked disdainful and snorted: "Wang Jingjiu actually ordered us to comeWho does he think he is?" "This  This guy is not good at fighting, but he was promoted very quickly During the Songhu Battle, he and our division were both division commanders, and later he was promoted to corps commander. When the Nanjing defense battle was defeated, Wang Jingjiu was dismissed from his post and investigated. Thanks to  Gu Zhutong begged Lao Jiang many times before he was transferred to Zhejiang to serve as the commander of the 25th Army I didn't expect him to be on top of our army now.  " Zhang Ying looked unconvinced, because according to the latest order of the Military Commission, the New Second Army was temporarily under the command of Wang Jingjiu's 10th Group Army. Before that, the New Second Army had been under the direct jurisdiction of the Third War Zone Commander's Department. This time Wang Jingjiu  Sending orders as a superior made the general of the New Second Army very dissatisfied. "Well, don't say it anymore. Commander Wang is a first-term student in Huangpu and is Chairman Chiang's favorite general. Now he has been promoted to the position of commander of the group army.  "Earned with all my efforts with the little devil." Wu Ming waved his hand, interrupting Dai Ziran and Zhang Ying's complaints. Although Wu Ming was not willing to have a relationship, after all, he and Wang Jingjiu had a chance encounter on the Songhu battlefield, which laid the foundation for future cooperation.  The foundation was laid. Wu Ming said to Dai Ziran and Zhang Ying: "You guys, don't talk nonsense. When we were in Shanghai and Nanjing, Wang Jingjiu commanded the German weapons.Although the division could not resist the Japanese army, he was still brave and unyielding. In this regard, he was much better than many generals who only knew how to escape.  You must pay attention to your words and deeds in the future." "Yes" Dai Ziran and Zhang Ying looked at each other and nodded in agreement. "Old Long" Wu Ming turned his head and told Long Shaogang: "You must tell the truth when you call General Wang Jingjiu back.  The actual situation of our new Second Army.  Now the Japanese Fourth and Fifth Divisions are close to us. Once we evacuate in a hurry, it will be a situation where we will be defeated thousands of miles away.  Furthermore, many people here in Yiwu need to be relocated, and we cannot abandon them." "Finally, we are using trains to transfer troops. When the logistics materials are almost transferred and the people in Yiwu are evacuated, we will rush to Jinhua to invite them  "Please understand." "Yes" Long Shaogang nodded and agreed, and immediately drafted Wu Ming's opinions into a telegram and sent it to Wang Jingjiu.
