1ooo1622 Chapter 457 Cut for the Country When the Mi Rocket Artillery Battalion, which belonged to Li Liguo's 2nd Heavy Armored Cavalry Regiment, had finished firing the rockets, six rounds of fully loaded salvos had already blown up the battle-hardened Hengyang City beyond recognition.
Only one-third of the rammed earth foundation remains of the ancient Hengyang City Tower.
The old light tank company of the 2nd Heavy Armored Cavalry Regiment, which was attacking along the collapsed city wall, was counterattacked by Japanese death squads at the breach, and both tanks were blown up at the breach.
The attack came to a standstill, and the use of light tanks as an assault force was intended to take advantage of the flexibility of light tanks, but unexpectedly, the Japanese army ambushed death squads at the breakthrough where the exchange of fire was most intense and the explosions were in the sky Li Liguo was ruthless.
The Pershing heavy tank was used to directly bombard the blown up Peng light tank, followed by a ramming.
After opening the breach, two Satan Territory Fire Spitfire tanks turned the vicinity of the breach into a sea of fire, and the second wave of Japanese death squads that were originally ambushed nearby were burned to char before they could counterattack.
As Li Liguo's second heavy armored cavalry regiment opened a breakthrough in the north of the city, Tang Ziqiang also blasted open the south gate and opened the breakthrough.
More than a dozen Pershing and Sherman tanks advanced in parallel, and the wings of Peng Greyhound and the gang of four-barreled self-propelled anti-aircraft machine guns flanked to protect the flanks, and when they encountered resistance, they directly went on the field with a round of fierce spraying After the fierce battle, the entire Hengyang City had long been a ruin and a sea of fire, and after Song Yuhang arrived, he did not hold Tang Ziqiang and Li Liguo accountable for violating the order, but only said a sentence to you, and after the battle, count it together Li Liguo was really scared out of a cold sweat, but Song Yuhang would not have time to take care of them, recovering Hengyang, Song Yuhang wanted to know exactly how the Japanese army reacted to this, and a large number of armored reconnaissance detachments were released, and these gray dogs who came out of the cage quickly set up a perimeter reconnaissance cordon, and convenient radio communication made all the wind and grass within kilometers of the fields around Hengyang under their surveillance.
What made Song Yuhang depressed was that the Hengyang City he was originally going to hold on to was no longer worth holding at all, because after several wars, after repeated battles, after this fire and tank advancement, there were no complete buildings in Hengyang City, and more than 10,000 corpses of Japanese soldiers in the city were also smoked to the point of dizziness, and it was easy to explode a large-scale plague if they were not dealt with.
The gendarmes were responsible for cleaning up the railway bridge and ambushing the battlefield in Xinzhuang, and the gendarmes had already secretly cursed the First Heavy Division from top to bottom, and many of the gendarmes vowed to focus on the First Heavy Armored Division for a period of time in the future.
The gendarmerie recruit, who had only been in the army for less than a year, was lucky enough to find a collar with two gold stars on the collar of a carcass that had been gnawed and tattered by wild dogs It must be a big guy, under the nonsense analysis of the gendarmes, all the gendarmes were dispatched, and they re-searched the wreckage of the Japanese armored train with great enthusiasm, and as a result, a lot of documents of the Japanese 1st rear division appeared, and the seal of the old Japanese 1st division was found in a burned armored car.
Combined with the unrecognizable corpse of Ken by the wild dog, the gendarmerie unit came to the conclusion that the corpse was the commander of the 1st old division of the Japanese army, lieutenant general Iwanaga Wang.
Song Yuhang immediately reported to the expeditionary force to commend the military police, in addition to 50 US dollars for each soldier and 100 US dollars for officers, the corpses were found and the two military police officers who were promoted to the third level of the company, and the relevant chief officers reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs for a medal and reward.
"After winning the battle, the bullshit didn't mix with you stupid things, I completely obeyed it, I called you uncle, okay.
Tang Ziqiang's first reaction after hearing about it was to call the group of companies and platoon commanders he left to clean up the battlefield and scold them together.
Several companies and platoon commanders stood in place without saying a word, which was tantamount to giving others a big gift, and it was also a special generous gift.
It is worth mentioning that Ma Deren, the commander of the Third Independent Division of the Imperial Association Security Army who reinforced Hengyang from Changsha, can be said to be frightened and frightened along the way, what kind of troops is the First Mechanized Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, others do not count Ma Derenke in their hearts, and the fierce general Yokoyama Yong Expeditionary Army, who swept in all directions, sent a few daredevils back to his hometown simply, and it is rumored that this Song Yuhang is the reincarnation of Yue Feiyue's grandfather, Wuqu Xing, who is invincible and undefeated With his own idea, the team of Wild Fox Zen pulled up, and people probably won't beat themselves, and they are embarrassed, saying that the Japanese are surnamed Song, and in the hands of one is a dead person, and it's good to be a traitor As a result, what surprised Ma Deren was that the Japanese assigned him a chief of staff, Ori Genzaburo, actually gave the regiment commander a whip because one of his regiments went fast yesterday Only then did Ma Deren know.
It turns out that Little Japan doesn't want to go, this is obviously a death mission yes After learning the news of the possible loss of Hengyang, Ma Deren and Dali Yuan Saburo discussed it, and fled back to Changsha that night, and fled back in one night, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Third Independent Division of the Imperial Association and the Public Security Army is not blown.
After learning that Hengyang was lost.
Amimura Ninji began to feel uneasy, this was a situation he hadn't had for many years, and rheumatism, which was becoming more and more serious, also made it difficult for him to calm down and think about the current situation, facing the chief of staff around him, Hirotoshi Ohara, Koji Takahashi, Yoshiharu Takeshita, and Imasa "The commander of the division such as the mouth and claw.
Slowly closed his eyes.
After a long time, Netmura Ningji sighed slightly, and said in an unquestionable tone: "The reason why I have been able to win many battles is because I can bend and stretch and convey my order to all troops to fully prepare for the all-day onslaught on the squadron.
Paralysing the enemy's forces, focusing on the 4th and 7th armies, as well as the headquarters of the old army and the 1st division, caused contradictions within the Chinese and divided their government forces and local factional armies."
Okamura Ninji paused and continued: "At midnight on the blade day, the 22nd Division, the 1st Correction Division, the 1st Fierce Division, the 1st Independent Mixed Blade Brigade, the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade and the 1st Independent Tank Brigade were responsible for the main force of the Chinese Expeditionary Force that surrounded Hengyang after the retreat of our army and gave the enemy a fatal blow.
I want to annihilate the First Mechanized Army and capture Song Yuhang alive" Okamura Ninji can be completely ruthless.
This time he had the upper hand.
Originally, I thought that even if I couldn't point to Kunming or Chongqing, I would definitely be able to beat the main force of the elite to a half-crippled, but at the last critical moment, Song Yuhang actually played a scoundrel and desperately wanted to use his first mechanical army to give it a go, since he couldn't move forward, even Guilin, the Taoist hand, didn't protect the net, and of course Ningci had to bring a little worthy souvenir.
For example, he has always been thinking about the Supreme Commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and his First Mechanized Army.
Later, Netmura Ningji inquired about the logistics reserves, and the staff officer in charge of logistics reported the amount of food, weapons, ammunition, and material supplies.
Okamura Ninji asked Oki Toshihui in confusion: "A few days ago, it was reported that the grain stock was slightly insufficient, and now why is it suddenly enough, is it that the supply line is back open?"
Da Mu said with a look of shame: "No, Your Excellency, after our 1st Old Division was ambushed by Song Yuhang's 1st Mechanized Division, there is enough food for the time being."
"Yaga, what kind of bastard logic is this," Okamura Ninji was suddenly angry by this answer.
As soon as he remembered that he had suffered heavy casualties because the 1st Old Division had been fighting at the front, he sent the 1st Old Division to take on the task of maintaining the supply line in the rear, driving away the Chinese guerrillas and the commandos of the Chinese Expeditionary Force who tried to destroy the supply line, but the 1st Old Division was sent to a point of no return.
Okamura Uji waved his hand angrily and hurriedly, and Staff Officer Oki was studying his big dream of spring and autumn while facing the map When Tan Wei's second light division arrived in Hengyang, it was already the evening of the blade day.
After Tan Wei, who had a dusty face, saw Song Yuhang, he first snapped and saluted: "All the members of the Second Light Division of the Ministry of Duties have arrived outside Hengyang City, please ask the commander to assign combat tasks."
Song Yuhang nodded with great satisfaction and said: "It is very good to work hard for more than three hours, and the whole division is rewarded."
Another commendation.
Although Chang Tianfang was the commander of the First Mechanized Army, his face was a little gloomy, because he was the commander of the First Heavy Armored Division.
Three circulars have already been awarded, both the 2nd and 3rd Light Divisions have a share, and even the Commander's Headquarters and the Military Police Regiment have a share.
Only without the share of the first heavy armor division, the battle was fought by the first heavy armor division, and it was natural that the heart was uncomfortable, Tang Ziqiang, Li Liguo, and Wang Mingyuan, the three main commanders, also had black faces and did not speak, Wang Mingyuan even glared at Tang Ziqiang and Li Liguo with an angry gaze from time to time, making the two straight.
Song Yuhang motioned to all the regiment commanders and division commanders present to sit down, and asked Wei Ah to take a round of cigar smoke to take a squad to protect Shen Jieyi, who was not used to it from the beginning, Song Yuhang gradually adapted to Wei Ah Da's carelessness.
Soon, the strong smell of cigars began to fill the air, and then the beautiful female lieutenants of the secretariat gave each of the officers present a can of beer, so that the officers present were a little puzzled, not knowing what the commander sang today Song Yuhang took the lead, the first to open the beer, drank most of it in one sip, and after burping, he let out a long breath and shouted cool, and then beckoned everyone to drink.
In fact, the reason why these young female officers in the Secretariat Office have complained again and again has long been that as soon as they graduated, they asked to come to the headquarters of the commander of the expeditionary force, and the main reason is that the expeditionary force has a large number of unmarried young generals, and the regimental commanders of twenty-five and sixth, are running all over the ground, compared to a group of old men in other units.
The expeditionary force is of course the most ideal place.
But when they came, they learned that Chief Song rarely held meetings, and they went directly to the troops, and their desire to contact young generals to find a good home for themselves was almost in vain, and today's great opportunity was naturally not let go, and the secretaries were dressed up one by one, and the outrageously tight-fitting military uniforms, short skirts, stockings, and high heels were all dressed up in fancy ways, and their sincere smiles and service could be described as warm and thoughtful.

Only then did everyone present know that the commander had so many treasures, and they all secretly made up their minds to come to report their work often in the future, but like Tang Ziqiang, who eats everything and looks abstract like Wang Chongxian, they will be ignored very naturally.
Wang Chongxian, who was pinching the empty beer can, looked at Song Yuhang with a sad expression.
Song Yuhang was uncomfortable, and finally handed over the beer in front of him.
The atmosphere was completely relaxed, and Yu Hang suddenly said: "All the Japanese army today, all the positions of the current part of the Xin Cixin Left Route Army and the Central Route Army, what do you think?"
Lu Long stood up and said nervously: "Damn Netcun Ningci, this is going to retreat, small."
Wang Chongxian smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, Okamura Ningji, this old fox, but the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, his goal must be us, and his army will enter Hengyang City on the 2nd at the latest." ” The originally lively war room was suddenly silent, and the young female officers were all stunned in place, they knew that these were military secrets, and their level of secrecy was not enough.
Song Yuhang waved his hand to the secretaries and said, "Sit down, you are also a member of the military expeditionary force, and you also have the full strength to speak and know."
Wang Chongxian was slightly stunned, and looked at Lu Long, looking at the same dazed Commander Chang Tianfang, what was going on today Song Yuhang looked at Chang Tian and said: "In this operation, the First Mechanized Army can be said to have made great contributions, and played the domineering and majestic spirit of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, especially the First Heavy Armored Division, which has undertaken general combat missions, and its performance is also remarkable.
But you know why I don't reward them Song Yuhang's eyes glared at Chang Tian.
This problem was developed when he was and was the battalion commander Song Yuhang was the brigade commander, and today Chang Tianfang saw Song Yuhang's eyes still covered when he saw it Cool.
Song Yuhang slapped the table and said: "Because you did not carry out my orders, although the results you have achieved are impressive, and the effect is more ideal than the implementation of my battle plan 1, but I must emphasize that the order is that we are soldiers, and it is our duty to obey, if your subordinates also change your combat orders without authorization."
To the overall situation, regardless of what you should do, from the soldier's point of view, what he considers is how to shoot the enemy in front of him, the angle of the platoon commander and the company commander is to complete the order given by the superior, the commander's point of view is to coordinate this campaign, how to deploy, abandon or stick to it, please don't think about the problem for the commander from your own point of view in the future, this time I will not pursue the bullshit rewards of officers above the regiment level, but the commendation and medal declaration of the battalion and even the soldiers must be carried out. ” In the war room, it can be said that the officers with their heads drooping secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly squeezed their eyebrows at each other.
Song Yuhang slowed down and continued: "The Japanese army waved Hengyang, we have two completely different choices, the first is that in order to be able to carry out a counteroffensive against Changsha in the next step, our army must stick to Hengyang.
In order to achieve the goal of containing the Japanese army with a large amount of attrition, the second is to preserve the strength of our army and withdraw from Hengyang.
Give the Japanese army enough time to adjust their forces and hold on to Changsha. ” "Let's talk," Song Yuhang looked around at everyone, picked up his cigar, and took a deep breath.
Chang Tianfang took a deep breath, and a few cans of beer just on the net made him feel a little bloody, Chang Tianfang looked straight ahead, and said loudly: "Humble duty, obey the commander's arrangement, swear allegiance."
All the officers present stood up and said in unison: "Obey the commander's arrangement and swear allegiance to the death" "Okay," Song Yuhang shouted, jumped up from his chair, and said loudly: "All troops immediately occupy the positions outside Hengyang City, draw 1 line of defense, and make every effort to block the day when the northwest returns to Hengyang."
Under the leadership of Wang Chongxian and Lu Long, the senior operational staff officers of the General Staff Office of the Commander's Department began to formulate operational plans.
Chennault's transport fleet also began to carry out large-scale replenishment day and night, so it can be said that Song Yuhang had already made a decision in his heart, and his purpose today was to beat these proud soldiers of his own.
Because this Hengyang is not easy to keep.
The overall defense of Hengyang has been completely destroyed, and it is taboo for a lone army to go deep behind enemy lines and stick to important places.
The First Heavy Armored Division and the Second Light Armored Division have been attrition at this moment because of the continuous march, so it is better to say that Song Yuhang is taking a risk, it is better to say that Song Yuhang is going to fight hard with Netmura Ningci.
However, it is not the life of Netmura Ningci who fights, but he and Song Yuhang themselves Song Yuhang glanced at the concubine Chongxian, who seemed worried, and said, "What are you hesitating about, does the prospect of this battle really worry you?"
Wang Chongxian sighed slightly, and said angrily: "If the people of the country are half like you, the Japanese will not dare to fight at all, they can only stop in the hut on the island and pray that we will not drown them when we return to the night barrel."
Wang Chongxian glanced at Song Yuhang and continued: "We withstood the massive attrition of the Japanese army, their main force was surrounded from the periphery, and the Japanese army was forced to retreat to Changsha.
Our army has the advantage of local operations, and can quickly replenish troops and supplies, and then take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army in Changsha has not yet been deployed to directly launch the Changsha campaign, once Changsha is recovered, and then the Japanese army can only retreat in great strides against the Great Plains, which is suitable for our mechanized troops to fight, until the first line of Xuzhou, the Japanese army can establish an effective defense Song Yuhang smiled and patted Wang Chongxian's eyebrows and said, "Yes, this is my fight."
Wang Chongxian smiled bitterly and said: "My commander, you have to eat one bite at a time, you are too anxious, I will attack tonight and conquer Tokyo tomorrow, then our First Mechanized Army is combat effectiveness, but just one army is full of iron, you can hit a few nails."
Song Yuhang looked out the window for a long time before he said slowly: "All for the country
