Wei agreed to Bai Linde's request, and six American 105-meter howitzers carried out scattered rapid fire in the coordinate area of T.
Bai Bailin took one last look at the Japanese soldiers who had already shown signs of leaving in the telescope, waved his arm with the phone and shouted: "Open fire" After a muffled mortar fire, the roar of howitzers rang out in the city, and the screeching sound of shells whizzing through the air.
Boom, boom With a dense explosion sounded, the Japanese army was covered in gunsmoke, and Bai Bai Lin nervously held the binoculars, he needed to check the specific results Sure enough, the Japanese army was not like a mouse that had been stepped on by the tail, and suddenly as many as one squadron of Japanese troops rushed out and went straight to the shelling area, and the overreaction of the Japanese army strengthened Bai Bailin's judgment, there must be an important person in that Japanese army.
Sakuma, a lieutenant general of the Japanese Army and the current commander of the 68th Division, was only seriously injured in the original history and was transferred back to Nanjing for treatment, but the Japanese Army lieutenant general was wiped out in artillery fire after paying the price of dozens of casualties, and after paying the price of dozens of casualties, he snatched back Sakuma's already mutilated body, and Sakuma was killed together with Sakuma, as well as 13 people including Harada Sazaburo, chief of staff of the division, and Matsuura Omaru, an operational staff officer.
Sakuma's death was no less than a bolt from the blue for Iwanaga Wang, the first general attack failed, when the commander of the Imperial Army's lieutenant general division was killed by enemy artillery, although Sakuma was no longer the first to die in the squadron, how could he bear it According to the 10th Army of the Chinese Army guarding Hengyang, although it is the central descendant of the Chongqing government, the number of artillery owned by the 10th Army is too much, and its own field artillery wing is limited by the range of the opponent's heavy artillery, so it does not dare to fire at will to support, for fear of being counterattacked by the opponent's artillery.
The battle was fought so passively, this was the first time Iwanaga Wang had encountered it, and in the question of whether the First Mechanized Army of the Shina Army was in Hengyang City, he could not come up with any real evidence to refute Yokoyama Yong.
When the news of Sakuma's death reached the headquarters of the 11th Army in Wuhan, all the personnel in the headquarters were amazed, and in just one night of the attack on Hengyang, the two main attack divisions lost more than 5,000 people, of which nearly 4,000 were killed, and more than 390 officers at all levels, including a lieutenant general division commander, a large commander, two middle assistants, and 11 young commanders.
"What's going on on at the front line" Xi Junliu, who was in charge of Wuhan, couldn't sit down steadily, he called Yokoyama Yong to inquire about the specific situation, and Yokoyama Yong, who was not very clear about the death process of the Hengyang Frontier Student Division, was ashamed for a while, and took all the responsibility for himself.
That's it.
Hosojun Roku is not good to blame Yokoyama again.
After a pause, he said slowly, "There has been news from the base camp that Senior General Okamura Ninji will take over my position.
So this may be the last battle I command.
I'll leave it all to you."
The words of Hosojun Liudi are undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Yokoyama Isamu.
Okamura Ninji is who he is, and Yokoyama naturally knows.
As the person of Hideki Tojo in the Pythagorean.
He Yokoyama Yong is like this, and if he can't make achievements and fame in this battle, he will probably be in the high pavilion.
After all, he is a son of heaven and a courtier.
Which general has few people available.
I thought that I was still planning the position of commander-in-chief of China's dispatch army.
Isamu Yokoyama himself felt that his previous actions were indeed a little funny.
But this smile is extremely bitter, but only Yokoyama Yong himself knows.
Hou Hosojun Roku said to Yokoyama Yong solemnly: "I will be transferred to the Hankou area and independently mixed into the 15th Brigade under the command of Major General Tanigawa Miyoji.
The Jiujiang area was independently mixed into two divisions of the 14th Brigade under the command of Major General Fujido Takaei to reinforce you.
It's all for yourself."
An evening breeze blew.
Putting down the phone, Yokoyama fought a cold war for no reason.
Look around the staff officers who are busy in the headquarters.
Yokoyama Yong restrained himself from going to the front line of Hengyang to block the attack.
At the same time, it will enhance the strength of Hengyang.
Under the pressure of the large number of squadrons, it is still a question whether the Japanese army can maintain the offensive after 40, and the second lightly armed division has already returned from Daxian by then, and with the super assault ability of the first mechanized army, it seems that it is easy to tear through the Japanese army and reach the city of Hengyang.
However, in the evening, a Burmese war report transferred by the Chongqing Supreme Military Commission made Song Yuhang cold, and Yamashita Fengfumi will take over as the commander of the Japanese Burmese Front The title of Yamashita Fengwen was a little worried.
Yamashita Fengfumi is different from ordinary Japanese generals, he is a loyal royalist general, although he has repeatedly made outstanding achievements, but under the suppression of Tojo Hideki, Yamashita Fengfu can only be degraded with hatred, this is a guy with extraordinary endurance and outstanding ability, and his tactics in Southeast Asia can be called superb and commendable For Yamashita Bongfumi, a child born on November 8, 1885 in a family of rural doctors in Kochi Prefecture, Japan, his background is very ordinary, Yamashita Bongfumi studied at the Hiroshima Army Infant School in Japan in his early years, and on November 25, 1905, he graduated from the 18th Infantry Section of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and was awarded the rank of infantry corporal on November 26 of the following year and began his military career.
In 1916, he graduated from the 28th class of the Army University, and because of his second grade, he was selected to study in Germany, and it can be said that he was a typical cadre of the Japanese militarist imperial faction, and since Tojo Hideki was able to reassign him to the Kwantung Army as the commander of the 1st Front Army in Manchuria, it seems that he made great determination and preparation.
The Japanese army has almost pinned down the elite main force of all the squadrons near Hengyang, if the sharp blade of Yamashita Fengfumi, a Japanese militarist, is inserted in Burma, I am afraid that India's Mountbatten life will be very sad, like to dismember the opponent with a series of precise small tactics, Yamashita Fengfumi who makes a fuss about the subtleties is definitely the nemesis of the British with thick branches and leaves, if there is no absolute strength to compete with it, Yamashita Fengwen can indeed be called a cunning opponent like a loach, slipping so that you can't grasp it at all "The war situation in Burma is going to change dramatically" Song Yuhang lit a cigar, Cui Zhijun stood aside and frowned, they all knew that the major personnel adjustment of the Japanese army in the direction of Burma was probably part of its strategy to open up the mainland communication line, if the Burmese Japanese army had any intentions towards India, then the First Mechanized Army would not be able to stay out of the matter calmly "Time is pressing," Cui Zhijun threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it hard.
