Mu Chengyi's so-called heart eye is that when marching, the 40TT under his command followed closely behind the 58th Division in accordance with the previous deployment, and chose to walk on the country road away from the road, in Aoki Chengyi's view, if there is no surprise attack by the mechanized troops of China, if it is safe, his troops are not a big problem even if they are out of the marching route, if they encounter the surprise attack of the armored troops of the First Mechanized Army of China, then his troops can quickly surpass the 58th Division from the flank, Depending on the situation of the battle, it is up to you to decide whether or not to participate in the battle.
Mori Suehiro, who was bent on returning to Changsha, did not have as much thought as Aoki Seiichi, and the 40th Regiment deviated from the predetermined march route, and the Captain Kimura Wing of the Royal Highness had reported to him, but he just smiled and waved his hand, and Aoki Seiichi seemed to him to be too timid.
Hengdong, this pre-selected battlefield is very suitable for the armored forces of the fast column to exert their maximum power, and the assault detachment attacking Changsha is already on the way to retreat, so it can be said that up to now, all the plans have been implemented step by step.
There are only two ways for the main force of the Japanese army to retreat from the outer line of Hengyang to Changsha, one is to go through the old county town of Hengyang and run to Xiangtan through Hengshan, but after the first mechanized army conquered the old county town of Hengyang, the Japanese army was destined to take the second route from Hengdong through the Xiangjiang Bridge and Zhuting to Zhuzhou to Changsha.
Hengdong is the most suitable plain area for the development of mechanized troops, the rivers in the area are scarce, and there are many small hills, so Chang Tianfang chose to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army here, at the beginning of the battle, Song Yuhang gave Chang Tianfang great power, Song Yuhang's original purpose was just to find an opportunity to find fighters to severely damage the Japanese army while relieving the siege of Hengyang.
In contrast, Chang Tianfang's appetite is much larger, although he realized that even if the fast column is strong, it will not be able to achieve the task of blocking the breakthrough of Hengdong, but he still wants to practice it reluctantly, after all, the fast column he commands has an absolute advantage in mobility.
In Chang Tianfang's view, anyway, they are waiting for an opportunity to hit the Japanese army hard, it is better to wait for the arrival of the Japanese army's vanguard, and then beat him fiercely, which has the suddenness of the battle and can bring chaos to the Japanese army.
For this battle, Chang Tian had his own plans, because he believed that the vanguard sent by the Japanese army this time must be the unit with the lightest losses in the Battle of Hengyang, and the unit with the strongest combat effectiveness at the moment would attack his strongest troops, and if he attacked the weak, the strong division would definitely save him, and the strong and weak divisions would probably flee in turn.
Chang Tianfang's determination to fight was supported by Song Yuhang, who only reminded Chang Tianfang to pay attention to the depth of contact between the troops and the Japanese army, and to pay attention to the troops not to fall into the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army.
The instructions of the military seat Chang Tianfang are naturally very clear, that is, you kid give me care, Lao Tzu's belongings are so much, and there is no confusion if you beat them all At 5 o'clock in the morning of the 327th, the troops of the 58th Regiment of the Japanese Army appeared in the sight of the fast column scouts, and the 58th Division of the Japanese Army, although exhausted from the day and night, still sent sharp soldiers to search and advance.
It is a pity that the Japanese soldiers still retain the habit of searching for distance in infantry formation.
Conduct a hiking search within a few hundred meters of the visible eye.
From time to time, fire reconnaissance is done into the distance.
In the course of its search for places.
The second team of spearheads rode forward.
Then get out of the car and search on foot.
The concept of ambush ground is still stuck in the era of infantry land.
Therefore, the scope of their search was only 500 meters wide on each wing, and the frontal depth of the land.
However.
The ground assault of the armored unit warms up the combat distance is 1,000 meters.
At this moment, the Chinese armored soldiers were all watching the Japanese soldiers who were searching very seriously in the distance.
A trace of fish white on the horizon has been shown in the open air.
Even in the telescope of Kojiro Ishino, the leader of the Japanese spearhead squadron.
It is also impossible to distinguish between tanks and armored vehicles that have been carefully camouflaged.
As the commander of the first squadron of the divisional search brigade.
Kojiro Ishino excelled in battle. has been hung up with the rank of captain as he wished.
He knows.
If nothing else.
After this battle.
He will become the only candidate for the captain of the division search team.
But at this moment, Kojiro Ishino was not happy at all.
Because he always had a feeling of being watched.
The feeling sent chills down his spine.
The sky is about to brighten.
In front of me is another flat river.
Kojiro Ishino really couldn't say the reason for this sense of crisis.
Unknowingly, he and several soldiers had already deviated from the search area.
His goal was to climb a large ridge 100 meters away.
Just now Deng suddenly walked in front of Miki Jun Cao shouted "Squadron leader, look what it is" Kojiro Ishino looked in the direction of Miki Juncao's finger, and the entire back of the Tokan slope was densely covered with tracks.
Cold sweat instantly flowed down Kojiro Ishino's sideburns, and he was dumbfounded It took a moment for Kojiro to react, and he held up the telescope with a trembling hand.
The Japanese soldiers on the dirt slope were shouting and screaming in panic, and one of the officers seemed to have taken out a flare gun and pouted his lips with disdain, he knew what the little devil had found, and almost all the vehicles of the entire fast column were there to complete the turn, and the tracks all over the ground wanted to be covered with cloth, so he simply didn't care, because as long as the Japanese army entered the ambush circle of his fast column, even if he poked most of his body into the ghost gate.
The sky has almost completely brightened, the flare gun in the hand of the pale and nervous Ishino Kojiro has been fired twice, but it has not been successful, and the signal flare is stuck in the tube at the critical moment, and suddenly, three red signal flares are in the air Ishino Kojiro's face turned pale from surprise to weakness, because the three red signal flares were not fired by his subordinates.
The exhaust fumes from tanks and armored vehicles suddenly turned gray in the distance, and the roaring sound of motors accompanied by the roar of engines could be heard clearly for miles away.
Chang Tian put his feet on the tracks of the tank, held the radio walkie-talkie in his hand, and waved his hand very chic and shouted: "Attack" The Japanese troops who were originally in the formation of a marching army saw the red signal flares and immediately ran down the road to prepare for defense, and the Japanese troops, who were already mentally exhausted, became energetic at this moment, and all of them poked their necks and looked around, and in just three minutes, the field artillery wing accompanying the Japanese army completed the formation, and the accompanying infantry detachment began to build field bunkers.
Maori Moguang stood on the hood of the car he was sitting in, raised his binoculars and inspected it, how could there be an army in Hengdong, and Maori Moguang estimated that it might be a small army that had penetrated deep into the depths of China When the first Chinese tank appeared in Mori Suehiro's telescope, he could clearly see Ishino Kojiro and the search team's top soldiers running wildly, and as more and more tanks and armored vehicles appeared on the horizon, Mori Suehiro's hand trembled and the telescope fell to the ground.

The main force of the chariots of the Chinese army did not rush to Changsha, their target was their own troops who had been fighting hard for a long time and were embarrassed to come back, at this moment all the troops of the 58th Division still maintained a rough line of troops, no fortifications, no depth, no tank defensive artillery, the 58th Division: Prepare to deal with this sudden encounter, block the tanks and armored vehicles in the Hengdong area of Yima Pingchuan This is a stupid thing that only a madman would do, an idiotic behavior, Maori Moguang remembered the Battle of Longling, The 53rd Division was completely annihilated by a surprise attack by the opposing armored forces during the march.
Looking at the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, the rumbling of cannons, and the fact that they could reach them in ten minutes at most, Mao Limohiro, whose face was blue and his lips trembled, looked around at all the subordinates who were as earth-colored as they were nearby, and made a decision that made him extremely proud and proud: "The whole division is divided into squadrons and squads, and they are scattered to break through."
Mao Li Suhiro's words all the officers and soldiers present were stunned, and what the division commander said was that the whole division and regiment were divided into squadrons and squads, and breaking through the siege was actually tantamount to telling the subordinate officers and soldiers that if they could run, one could be counted as one Chief of Staff Ryoki found that the commander of the Maori Suehiro Division had taken off his shirt, grabbed a blue robe that he had collected before, and fled the road under the escort of the guards.
The 58th Division, which had been formed in North China in 19422 on the basis of the mixed 18th Brigade, had ceased to exist from the moment Mori Suehiro ordered a breakthrough.
In addition to a few die-hard elements who were still waving their weapons, more than 16,000 Japanese soldiers discarded weapons, baggage, supplies, and everything they carried, just to be able to run as fast as possible, and many Japanese officers and men of the logistics baggage wing rode pack horses.
In the face of the Japanese troops fleeing in all directions, the rapid column divided into three routes can be said to be powerless, and had no choice but to spread out the formation to intercept on all sides, under the strafing of machine guns, the Japanese officers and soldiers were like athletes, and what made the Chinese officers and soldiers depressed was that most of the Japanese troops seemed to know very well the performance of the "Greyhound" wheeled armored vehicles, and they fled in the ditches and woods.
It didn't take much effort to have a number of "greyhound" overturns caused by unfamiliar terrain, and Chang Tianfang, who was full of joy, never expected that the Japanese army, which had always been strong-willed and often stubbornly resisted to the end, would have a large-scale rout before engaging in battle At first, Chang Tianfang thought that the Japanese army was preparing to retreat northward, because the mountains more than ten miles away were natural barriers, and he was completely sure that the Japanese army would be divided, surrounded, and annihilated before the Japanese troops reached the extension of the Hengshan Mountain Range, but he soon found that the Japanese army was not retreating in an organized manner, to be precise, the Japanese army was breaking up on a large scale:
