Songhu: Never Give Up
Chapter 182: Frontal Breakout
Chapter 182: Frontal Breakout
There were fewer and fewer Japanese soldiers in the encirclement, the sound of gunfire gradually died down, and the soldiers who were chasing the remaining Japanese soldiers also stopped;
At the same time, a counterattack was launched from the north, killing and wounding more than 100 Japanese soldiers. Most of the Xiaoqiao Battalion on the front was annihilated, and only more than 100 people escaped.
At this point, the two-sided attacks of the Xiaoqiao Battalion were all repelled. The vanguard battalion of the 9th Division suffered a setback, and the other two battalions were frightened and retreated several miles. Then they went on the defensive on the spot and waited for the main force of the division to arrive.
At the headquarters of the Fourth Brigade, Song Yunhan, who had won the battle, started to bluff from a distance:
"Old Duan, good news! The brothers have finished the work. They have almost wiped out the vanguard of the Japanese, killed more than 800 Japanese soldiers, and seized two infantry guns, hundreds of long and short rifles, and countless ammunition and supplies!"
Duan Yulin also smiled. With four battalions attacking one enemy battalion, even though he had a 5 to 1 advantage in numbers, he was still worried.
There was no problem in defending a force mainly composed of defeated soldiers, but he was still not absolutely sure about attacking a large group of Japanese devils. Now he was finally relieved.
The current Fourth Team can not only fight defensive battles, but also have no problem fighting in favorable situations during offense. This is a great improvement, so he praised loudly:
"Brothers, you did a great job. After this blow, the Japanese will not dare to rush forward again. Leave the Third Battalion to continue to confuse the Japanese. The main force will all evacuate Kunshan City, leaving an empty city for Yoshika Ryosuke!"
Duan Yulin had grasped the essence of guerrilla warfare. From the beginning to the end, he never thought of defending the empty city of Kunshan. If the Japanese wanted it, he would give it to them.
But Song Yunhan was still a little reluctant, and said to Duan Yulin with a painful look:
"Old Duan, it's a pity. Once Kunshan is handed over to the Ninth Division, the enemy's railway supply line will be opened up again."
Duan Yulin waved his hand and said:
"If you are willing to sacrifice, you will gain. Guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare have never been judged by the gain or loss of a city or a place.
"Giving Kunshan City to the devils is like throwing away a burden for us, and the devils have another burden on their shoulders. Kunshan City is right there, and they can take it anytime they want!"
Song Yunhan found that Duan Yulin was becoming more and more like Commander Yue, and said enviously:
"Old Duan, Commander Yue is really biased. He taught all his skills to your brother-in-law. It's a pity that I, Old Song, don't have a beautiful sister."
Duan Yulin was puzzled by what he heard. Old Song was teasing him, so he kicked him.
Song Yunhan had been on guard against him, so he dodged him slightly and then ran away in a flash.
Duan Yulin then laughed and scolded:
"If you have the guts, don't run. I'll kick you to death!
I envy you for having a good sister. Even if you have one, she is not as pretty as our Yaqin."
At the 9th Division Headquarters, Yoshika Ryosuke also wanted to kick someone, but Major Suzuki was not at the division headquarters, so he could only yell:
"Bakayaro, this bastard Suzuki is too arrogant. I warned him again and again not to underestimate the enemy and rush forward, but he just turned a deaf ear to me. What a bad conscience!
He has brought disgrace upon the empire and the entire battalion has been wiped out. Why is he, the captain, running back?
Let him apologize to the Emperor!"
Since Yoshika Ryosuke couldn't kick him, he might as well send him to see Aunt Amaterasu.
Nakahirokawa did not dare to say a word. The Ninth Division had suffered too many defeats recently. It was time to enforce strict military discipline. So he followed Yoshika Ryosuke's words and said:
"A coward like Major Suzuki, who is incompetent in battle and runs away faster than anyone else, should be killed as a warning to others, to enforce strict military discipline and serve as a warning to others!"
Yoshika Ryosuke's expression improved a little, and he continued:
"Mr. Nakagawa, although that bastard Suzuki is a waste, the combat effectiveness of the Suzuki Battalion is not weak; being able to cripple them in a short period of time shows that the Songhu Guerrilla Column still has strength.
After seizing the supplies and ammunition in Kunshan City, the problem of insufficient supply that restricted Yue Qianli was also solved, so the imperial army still had to deal with it with caution;
Tell Ren Jian Xiu San that Yue Qianli is cunning and sly, so don't underestimate the enemy and rush in. Wait until the main force of the division arrives before making a long-term plan! "
"Your Excellency the division commander is right. According to the latest intelligence we have, the Songhu Guerrilla Column has been upgraded to the Shanghai-Nanjing Guerrilla Column, which has four detachments with a total of more than 4 people. The 1th Regiment may not be their opponent.
Only by waiting for the main force of the division to arrive and concentrating our forces can we destroy them."
Ji Jialiangsuke nodded in agreement. He had become pragmatic towards Yue Qianli's troops and no longer dared to say that he could defeat ten people alone. His face was swollen after being beaten.
Duan Yulin's counterattack achieved the expected effect. The outstretched claws of the 9th Division were cut off and the glans was retracted. The main force of the 4th Detachment withdrew from Kunshan and dispersed to hide.
On the Changshu-Wuxi front, the advance detachment's attack was ready, and mortars had been erected, waiting for Liao Jianping's order.
Liao Jianping looked at his watch and saw that the agreed attack time had arrived, so he decisively gave the order to attack.
The Japanese's guard position was a circular field fortification, with the focus on defending against attacks from the east;
Although the east was the rear, the cautious Japanese still sent enough troops to guard it so as not to affect the decisive battle on the front.
The Xicheng Line was the last line of national defense of the National Army. Hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides were fighting each other. If a Chinese army suddenly appeared in the rear, it would be absolutely fatal to the East China Expeditionary Force, so they deployed a full regiment to protect their backs.
The advance detachment was about to attack the 11th Regiment of the 12th Infantry Division, which was also the old rival of the 527th Regiment in Lion Grove.
Since getting rid of the 527th Regiment, Anda Twenty-three's life has become much better. Although other central troops are equally difficult to deal with, they are much easier to defeat than Yue Qianli's troops.
The 12th Infantry Regiment also successfully advanced to the Xicheng Line, with Jinling City in sight. However, Colonel Ando was not happy. The new senior staff officer, Major Masato Yamamoto, consoled him:
"Sir, it is not necessarily a bad thing to be in charge of guarding the periphery. The Xicheng Line is a national defense line that the Chinese government has spent several years to build. It is known as the Maginot Line of the East.
The 15th Army, the elite Central Army, was defending the Xicheng Line, and the divisions attacking the Xicheng Line suffered heavy casualties.
Jinling City is the biggest cake. If the troops are wiped out on the Xicheng Line, they can only watch when they reach Jinling City. For example, the current 9th Division has become a third-rate division. "
Some things really don't need to be said too clearly, as it would damage Anda Twenty-three's reputation. Anda Twenty-three could understand it, but he still said stubbornly:
"In front of the 12th Regiment, China has no so-called elite troops. The th Army Group is just so-so. Chen Cixiu's ability is at most commanding a regiment."
Major Yamamoto agreed with him and continued to praise Ando Twenty-three, who nodded repeatedly and almost regarded himself as the best general in Japan.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Rows of mortar shells hit the position of the 12th Regiment, slapping Anda Twenty-three hard.
"Bagayalu, what kind of work is this?"
