Chapter 193: The Decisive Battle of Longling 1943 IX


A gust of night wind blew, under the fluttering gas lamp, the light flickered on and off with the swaying of the lamp, at this moment the commander of the Japanese Burma Front Kawabe Shozo burst into tears, he really couldn't figure out why he was defeated in the end, and the defeat was inexplicable, although Kawabe Shozo extremely did not want to admit it, but it turned out that these Chinese soldiers of the First Mechanized Army did indeed surpass the Imperial Army in almost all aspects from tactical skills to psychological quality and fighting will, and in terms of weapons and equipment, Even if you look at the Imperial Army, there are very few such soldiers and officers who can match them, and the only ones that can be compared with them are the six elite divisions at the time of the "China Incident" in 1937.

Although the overall situation has been decided, the Japanese Sixth Division still stubbornly broke through the defense in the north of the city, triggering a chain reaction, and the Japanese army in the south of the city independently mixed into the 24th Brigade also made a breakthrough by blasting in the south corner of the city, and the Chinese defenders began to gradually shrink the defense to avoid falling into the division and encirclement of the Japanese army.

Before the war, Song Yuhang learned the lessons of the previous failure of the Eleventh Group Army's Song Xilian Division to attack Longling, and after deliberately strengthening the more than ten "points" that the Japanese army had firmly held, he chose several buildings with a wide field of vision and relatively solid buildings as support points, among which the "big point" can deploy hundreds of people, and the "small point" can deploy more than 100 people, which hoarded ammunition and supplies that can be used for combat, and these points formed a ring-shaped circle in Longling City"Point" continues to resist.

The street fighting in the city was extremely tragic, how could the single-shot 38-type Tomosaka rifle equipped by the Japanese soldiers be able to withstand the 1A1 Thomson submachine gun and 1 carbine, 1 Garand semi-automatic rifle and other weapons in the street battle, with the Chinese soldiers who are skilled and familiar with the terrain can always form an absolute firepower advantage over the Japanese army with fewer people in the local area, relying on the defense point, interspersed with the Japanese army, and quickly retreat once they succeed.

Immediately changed direction, often appearing on the rear flank of the Japanese attacking troops, making the Japanese army frightened.

However, the Japanese army quickly reversed the situation with superior forces, and at the critical moment, Song Yuhang put the general guard regiment and the two regiments reinforced by the 5th Army into battle, and the lost support points were quickly recaptured, and the Japanese army was even driven out of Longling City in some areas.

The Japanese also knew that this was the last battle reserve of the Chinese defenders in Longling The Chongqing side seems to have noticed a change in the battle situation in the direction of Longling from the frequent exchanges between the First Mechanized Army and the 53rd Army and the Eleventh Group Army.

Chiang Kai-shek's audacity scared Chiang Kai-shek out of a cold sweat, and Chiang Kai-shek naturally could not reprimand Song Yuhang, who was fighting bloodily on the front line, so he had no choice but to scold the senior staff members of the military committee who seemed to him to be idle, and the unfortunate senior staff members had to cheer up and call every half an hour to inquire about the battle situation.

The most admirable thing is the secrecy system of the Supreme Military Commission, as a first-class military secret, Longling was trapped, and was actually told to his sister-in-law who was a reporter by a Gao Shen surnamed Cao when the topic of tea after dinner, so the news that the elite First Mechanized Army was unfortunately besieged in a bloody battle spread.

The people of the country immediately talked about it, and the battle situation in Longling can be said to affect the hearts of the whole country.

Since the Anti-Japanese War, there have been very few precedents for the garrison to wait for reinforcements.

Most of them sacrificed their lives for the country, died in the city, and there are very few examples of successfully holding the ground, and the hearts of the Chinese people really don't want to believe that Song Yuhang, who has created miracles many times, and the troops he led will be surrounded by the Japanese army.

First of all, the newspaper that published the news of the siege of Longling was smashed by the people in just one day.

Countless versions of the rumors were enriched in the city, and finally forced the JoongAng Daily to stand up and refute the rumors very vaguely.

The JoongAng Daily's rebuke is incredible.

Only then did the Chinese people realize that the First Mechanized Army and the young and handsome General Song might be really dangerous.

Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he hid in the study again and scolded his mother, and he hid far away.

For fear of touching the chairman's moldy head and innocently implicating.

Chiang Kai-shek knew that everything in Longling had been completely out of control, and he could be said to have more than enough strength in Chongqing, as a bystander, he admired Song Yuhang's courage and courage very much, and at the same time made up his mind that after the Battle of Longling was over, he would recruit Song Yuhang to Chongqing The sky in Longling Land was still extremely gloomy.

It was as if the sky had leaked.

It rained coldly for a whole day.

There is no sign of abating.

"Retreat," said the riverside in a careless sentence, leaving all the people in the entire headquarters dumbfounded "The battle reversal order was given to the besieging troops to immediately leave the battle.

The 51st and 72nd Brigades were independently mixed, and a brigade was attached to the 2nd Tank Division, which was responsible for the break.

The 6th Division was attached to the 70th Brigade and the 10th Heavy Artillery Wing.

Responsible for the advance of the attack to the west.

In response to the withdrawal of the headquarters of the 2nd Division, "the river side stood up all at once.

Looking at his subordinates with puzzled faces.

He shook his head helplessly.

Then he set his eyes on Takeliang Isomura, the deputy chief of staff.

Takeshi Isomura coughed awkwardly.

Gu left and right, he said: "There is an old Chinese saying: When you are constantly decisive, you will be in chaos and lose the warplane.

In order to avoid the strategic passivity of our army.

Taking the initiative to retreat is not a good option.

It's just that we still have to report the actual situation here in Longling to the base camp.

Provide data for analysis for the strategy and tactics of the base camp to deploy the next step. ” Takeliang Isomura is undoubtedly a master of power schemes.

Although he once disliked the rigidity and arbitrariness of the three places by the river.

However, the critical moment of life and death and honor and disgrace has come for the Burmese front.

Naturally, he is the deputy chief of staff of the military and local areas.

Song Yuhang, who sits in the central bank, looks like he is sitting firmly on Mount Tai.

It was as if the shouts of killing and gunfire outside were none of his business.

In the vicinity of the Central Bank, a whole half of the regiment was assembled.

There were also two tank companies on the left and right flanks that served as active firing points.

Central Bank backyard artillery positions. 105-mm howitzers, 75-mm field guns, heavy mortars, etc., continuously fired at different directions at all angles.

There is a lot of energy to not stop if the ammunition is consumed.

The heavy artillery fire seriously blocked the second echelon of the Japanese army on the front line of the city fortifications, the terrain was narrow and full of ruins, and the dense formation of the second echelon of the Japanese army could be described as heavy casualties when blocking the area through artillery fire.

As a last resort, the Japanese had no choice but to quickly block the area through the squadron's artillery fire in the second echelon of troops, although the speed of the increase in troops was much slower, but also reduced the casualties of the troops to a minimum.

At the same time as the fierce battle at Longling, Chang Tianfang was waiting for the Japanese Second Division 30 kilometers west of Longling, and this 30 kilometers distance was the "most suitable distance" determined by Chang Tianfang and Cui Zhijun, Xu Tu'an and others.

On muddy roads on rainy nights, the Japanese infantry needed at least six to eight hours of rapid marching on foot.

They were fully sure that they would crush the main force of the Japanese 2nd Division before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements.

The 30-kilometer journey would take less than two hours for the rapid column temporarily formed by the 1st Mechanized Mechanized Division, which was to be able to take into account the Longling battle situation, and in the event of a crisis in the Longling battle situation, the main force could quickly return and enter the battle.

There is one thing that Chang Tianfang did not say, that is, there is not much fuel left in the 1st Mechanized Division, and the muddy ground has consumed one-third more fuel for tanks and armored vehicles than before, and it is necessary to attack east of Tengchong and reverse to the west of Longling.

The 1st Mechanized Division's fuel trucks have bottomed out, and the 1st Mechanized Division and the 2nd Motorized Rifle Division will be able to defeat the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army within the preset time, even if the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army is defeated.

And what can be used to carry the troops to return to Longling quickly Cui Zhijun, Xu Tuan and others, who were concerned about the battle situation in Longling, stood anxiously in the rain, waiting for the Japanese Second Division to send them to the door.

Standing in the rain, Kiyozaburo Okazaki was also looking worriedly at the dark ahead, the night gave him a very uneasy feeling, he had received the news that the 53rd Division had been broken east of Tengchong.

He thought it was a very wise move to turn the battle against the order given by the Front Command a few minutes ago.

Judging from Song Yuhang's style and tactics of commanding battles many times, Kiyozaburo Okazaki does not think that his opponent will easily let go of himself who is lonely.

There is an interception in front, and there are pursuers in the rear.

Kiyozaburo Okazaki didn't think that the Gangsen Brigade he left behind would be able to resist Song Xilian for long, and for Kanda Masashi's Sixth Division, he would be able to break through on his own.

Kiyozaburo Okazaki was even more incredulous "Discard unnecessary baggage, blow up the field artillery, and march the whole army into the mountains lightly" Kiyozaburo Okazaki made a decision that made him extremely proud, and let the 2nd Division pass by death and escape the catastrophe.

After waiting for several hours, after finally getting feedback from the scouts, Cui Zhijun, Xu Tuan, Chang Tianfang, Qi Baiming and others stood in front of the map and stared wide-eyed, and the strange behavior of the Japanese Second Division made them feel incredible Xu Tu'an said thoughtfully: "Could it be that our army's tactical intentions were detected by the Japanese army?"

Cui Zhijun waved his hand and said: "No, in this natural environment, the Japanese are almost equal to blind and deaf like us."

As the gunfire in the direction of Longling gradually subsided, Cui Zhijun finally got in touch with Song Yuhang, who was in command of the overall situation in Longling, and after learning that the Japanese army in Longling had shown signs of retreat, Cui Zhijun pressed the map with his hand and sighed: "The little devil of the dog day is so good, slipping like a loach fish, our army's tactical intentions have just been reflected, and they slipped away."

Chang Tianfang drew a large arc on the map with a pen, and sighed lightly: "If Brigade Commander Zhang's mountain infantry brigade is still there, we can intercept the second division of the Japanese army at Xuanniuba."

However, everyone present knew that there was no such thing as a war, and once the fighter plane was lost, it would be difficult to recover countless variables on the battlefield, and there would always be countless variables on the battlefield.
