Chapter 158: Longling is in an emergency


I want to close the push next week, and thank you for all the book friends.

Although the airborne landing of the Kume paratrooper brigade was not successful, it really frightened Wei Lihuang, and Song Yuhang was also shocked into a cold sweat when the Japanese army actually used the paratrooper brigade to attack Tengchong, which had become a supply center for the expeditionary force at this moment, and he was always skeptical that the Japanese could successfully organize an airborne landing on the scale of the brigade.

After all, there is an essential difference between the Airborne Operations Department and the regular operations of the army units, and the surprise attack of the Japanese army made Song Yuhang realize the weakness of his own intelligence links, and although the expeditionary force has suffered losses in intelligence on many occasions, its inferiority in intelligence work has always been difficult to reverse.

The surprise attack of the Japanese army made Song Yuhang's plan to infiltrate the squad behind enemy lines to carry out special operations back on the agenda, and it turned out that Song Yuhang's command was extremely short of talents, resulting in many plans and programs that could not be implemented.

Song Yuhang summoned Cui Zhijun, Xu Tu'an, Luo Jiaxiang, Chang Tianfang, Qi Baiming, Liang Chao, Fang Lin, Zhang Tiansheng, Wu Weihua, and others to plan to establish a special assault brigade with five commando battalions on the basis of the reconnaissance brigade directly under the former army.

Where there are insufficient officers and men in the brigade, the brigade is selected on the basis of merit throughout the army, and Wu Weihua is temporarily appointed as colonel acting brigade commander The First Mechanized Army also has to establish an effective secret department for deciphering, eavesdropping, and collecting information within the framework of the intelligence department, which is under the specific responsibility of Luo Jiaxiang, director of the military's political department, and Su Na, director of the intelligence department.

In the end, Song Yuhang announced a formal appointment, established the Operational Staff Department of the First Mechanized Army, promoted Lu Long to the rank of Major General, appointed Chief of Staff of the Army, served as the head of the Operational Staff Department, and promoted Wang Chong to the current colonel and staff officer.

Zhi Shen was promoted to major general and senior staff member, and the operational staff was directly under the command of Chief of Staff Xu Tuan.

Song Yuhang took great pains for his think tank, especially after going through great difficulties to dig Zhishen out of Huo Yuzhang of the Twentieth Group Army, but Huo Yuzhang knocked a bamboo pole hard, and his heart hurt and almost lost sleep.

Song Yuhang's decision can be described as a happy and sad family, Wu Weihua, who was originally very popular, immediately became the most unpopular person in the First Mechanized Army, and Wu Weihua, who was holding the sword of Shang Fang, also gave up his own hundred and dozens of catties, in order to be able to remove the word "generation" in front of his brigade commander, he was not afraid of offending all the gods of the First Mechanized Army in all aspects, as long as it was the person he fancied, he would definitely not be in it.

Song Yuhang only gave Wu Weihua three days to prepare.

Can Wu Weihua not be in a hurry?

Even so.

Wu Weihua only had enough people for two camps.

For the rest of the land, Song Yuhang promised to choose from among the outstanding people who had joined the army one after another.

When Song Yuhang was thinking about the supply quota of troops under his own small wishful thinking, an urgent telegram came from the headquarters of the commander of the expeditionary force, ordering the 54th Army under the First Mechanized Army and the Twentieth Group Army to quickly advance in the direction of Longling, cooperate with the Eleventh Group Army to stabilize the battle in the direction of Longling, and wait for an opportunity to capture Longling.

Song Yuhang knew that many people were disgraced for the Longling incident, but Song Xilian was a little impatient at that time, but the things on the battlefield were sometimes difficult to say accurately, and no one expected that the heavy rain for several days would make the Allied airdrop unable to carry out, and at the same time hinder aerial reconnaissance, and he did not expect that the main force of the Japanese Second Division would move so quickly, and the Longling operation would fall short, and the officers and men of the 11th Group booed and sighed with emotion.

The thunderous Chairman Jiang ordered Wei Lihuang to immediately find out who gave up Longling, and the chairman of the committee held high the sword and prepared to punish the defeated generals, but after looking around, all of them were confidants and favorite generals, and they didn't know who to spank, so they had to shout angrily to bring Longling back to me.

In fact, at this moment, the Longling battle situation has fallen into an extremely dangerous situation, let alone taking Longling, since October 11, the Japanese Second Division and the 56th Division of the main force into the counteroffensive, the Eleventh Army can be said to have suffered heavy casualties and retreated, the Japanese forward was only two or three miles away from the headquarters of the Eleventh Group Army, and Song Xilian's own shelter was also shelled.

The danger of the battle situation was unprecedented for Song Xilian, and he urgently dispatched a division to support the Eighth Army on the Songshan side, and on the other hand, he asked Wei Lihuang for help, which led to the First Mechanized Army and the 54th Army rushing to the aid of Longling.

In the face of the two-way onslaught of the 4th Infantry Wing of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army and the Xinfatian of the 16th Infantry Wing, Song Xilian was also red-eyed, and he strictly ordered all units to defend to the death: panicked, cut those who flinched in battle, cut those who lost their positions, and cut three words in a row, so that all the officers and soldiers under his subordinates were in danger.

The 87th Division was ordered to defend Dharma Mountain and Huangcaoba to the death, and the number of soldiers was sharply reduced after several days of hard fighting.

On October 13, the Japanese army broke through the defensive position of the 87th Division, and the Chinese defenders died on the positions in formation, and the Japanese soldiers' suede shoes stepped on the corpses of the Chinese soldiers.

The 87th Division fought fruitlessly, and was powerless to return to the sky, and the division commander Zhang Shaoxun angrily committed suicide with a gun, and became a benevolent man by drinking bullets.

After receiving the news of the martyrdom of Zhang Shaoxun, the commander of the 87th Division, Song Yuhang immediately ordered to urge the troops to advance rapidly at night.

The reversal of the tide of the battle can be said to have exceeded everyone's expectations, and after the Japanese army occupied Longling and expelled the Chinese attacking troops, it even launched a counteroffensive and annihilated the 11th Army at the foot of Songshan At this moment, the second division of the Japanese army, the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Okazaki Kiyozaburo, was sitting in Longling City, and he had already learned that the first division of the Chinese army was on the way to reinforce Longling, and at this moment the 4th Infantry Wing under the second division was on the way.

The 16th Infantry Wing and the 1st Division of the 56th Division were working closely together to take advantage of the dispersion of the 11th Group Army of the Chongqing Army and divide it into small units to compress it in the direction of Songshan.

Look for fighters to divide and then annihilate.

Faced with the threat from the flanks, Kiyozaburo Okazaki, after careful study, decided to use the 29th Infantry Wing and the Tank Brigade to block the incoming squadron at Dantian directly north of Longling.

Kiyozaburo Okazaki, a non-commissioned officer candidate in Meiji 44.

Taisho seven years of difficult admission to the Army University, Taisho ten years after the graduation of the Army University has not been reused, exiled in the military attaché section attaché, staff headquarters establishment squad leader and other idle roles, although in Showa 12 years once served as the commander of the second infantry wing, but soon lost this position that can be borrowed, but Okazaki Kiyozaburo himself has never complained, has been conscientious and dedicated to his duties, and finally in Showa 18 was promoted to lieutenant general of the army to take over the post of commander of the second division.

How could Kiyozaburo Okazaki, who had been waiting for a long time with great ambitions, give up the great opportunity in front of him to hold a meeting of the commanders of the front army before the war.

He realized the inappropriateness of dividing his troops and sticking to key points to delay the offensive plan of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Although Kawabe Shozo urged many times, the 2nd Division always maintained a high concentration of troops.

Able to destroy a part of the 11th Army of the Chongqing Army and defeat it.

Such a great merit made Kiyozaburo Okazaki unable to give up.

The main force of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army and the 1st Division of the 56th Division attacked more than 28,000 Japanese troops, and at the same time divided the squadron of more than 50,000 people, they had to draw troops to block and reinforce In Okazaki Kiyozaburo's view, as long as he blocked the enemy and Tuantian Town for 72 hours, then he could calmly defeat the headquarters of the 11th Group Army of the Chongqing Army, and concentrate his forces to meet the enemy who came to help, and break them one by one.

Moreover, Kiyozaburo Okazaki still had a ready-to-go 30th Infantry Wing that had not yet been put into battle, and the Japanese tank unit that followed the 2nd Division was the 14th Tank Wing that Song Yuhang gave a pot to Kunming and captured the wing flag.

The 14th Tank Wing, which had lost its wing flag, was ordered by the Japanese base camp to revoke its number, and because its tanks were all destroyed in the Battle of Kunming, leaving only one maintenance squadron and baggage squadron, the Japanese base camp decided to send Major General Yokota Kamiichi to Burma to form a new Yokota fast tank detachment.

In order to ensure that the newly formed fast tank detachment would not repeat the fate of the destruction of the 14th Tank Wing, the Japanese army base camp equipped the Yokota Rapid Tank Detachment with the Type 97 "Qiha" medium tank, which was the most successful tank equipped by Japan during World War II.

It is very interesting that the main armament of the Japanese Army's Type 97 medium tank and Type 98 light tank is actually a Type 100 75mm tank gun, which is copied from the German 40 Krupp field artillery ground tank gun can be said to be a typical deformed product.

In the First World War of Kunming, the Japanese tank unit was ravaged by American tanks, and the Japanese, who were ashamed and brave, used 75 mm field guns to transform a large-caliber tank gun, and placed high hopes on it, hoping that the newly equipped "cannon" could deal with American tanks.

This typical violation of scientific principles, regardless of the overall performance, the small car according to the cannon method of the 97 medium tank and the 98 light tank into no one and no ghost, the original narrow car space has become more narrow, and the members even feel difficult to breathe while driving.

The Type 98 light combat vehicle, which originally had an ammunition base of 106 rounds, could only be loaded with 27 rounds after modification As one of the few Japanese military academy in Berlin to study armored forces, Yokota Shinichi was saddened by the changes to the combat vehicle, and after many fruitless reactions, he had to acquiesce.

In this engagement, Yokota God stared at his main opponent, the First Mechanized Corps of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, from the beginning:
