The attack power of the New 38th Division is very sharp, from the division commander to the privates, everyone is holding their breath;
Traveling thousands of miles away on an expedition abroad, I originally wanted to show off my power outside the territory, but before I could use all my strength, I was told that I had lost. I was asked to abandon my heavy equipment and retreat back to the country from Savage Mountain. Who could bear it?
After the New 38th Division Mechanized Regiment received the assault order, 22 T26 medium tanks lined up in three horizontal lines. With the cooperation of more than 30 armored vehicles, they drove towards the unity headquarters of the 55th Division and the 56th Division. ;
Liu Fangwu's motorized infantry regiment followed him in hundreds of trucks. The attack speed was very fast. The Japs along the way were almost unable to unite. They were scattered before they could react, and were quickly followed. The motorized infantry regiment was wiped out.
Leaving corpses on the ground, the three infantry regiments following behind swept away the remnants of the enemy, then spread out to both wings to occupy favorable terrain and build a defense line;
On the other side, the First Brigade of the Independent Division attacked equally sharply, followed closely by the Second Brigade, consolidating its position and expanding its results.
If you look from the sky, you can see two huge wedges thrust in from the Japs waist, one on the left and one on the right, quickly cutting the Japs in half. It only took a few hours for them to join forces smoothly. The 55th Division, eager for success, was cut off alone.
Then, the New 38th Division Mechanized Regiment and the First Brigade of the Independent Division attacked from east to west, once again cutting up the Japanese;
In order to pursue the Sixth Army, the 55th Division's regiments ran very scattered. After being suddenly attacked, they could not organize a decent resistance at all;
This is the attack of two ace divisions, and the Japanese at the squadron and brigade levels cannot even block it.
The New 38th Division and the Independent Division were like two straight punches punched from east to west, one left and one right, hitting the 55th Division directly in the chest.
At the headquarters of the 55th Division, bad news came one after another. The head of the division commander, Lieutenant General Takeuchi Hiroshi, was about to explode.
"Reporting to the division commander, the 143rd Infantry Regiment was dispersed by the Chinese tank group and suffered heavy losses!"
"Reporting to the division commander, the 55th Regiment of the Mountain Artillery behind was surrounded and annihilated by the mechanized troops of the New 38th Division, and more than 30 artillery pieces of various types were lost."
"Reporting to the division commander, the 55th Regiment of Heavy Troops on the right wing was defeated by the Independent Division of the Eighth Route Army, causing heavy losses in personnel and materials!"
"Reporting to the division commander, when the 55th Cavalry Regiment and the 112th Infantry Regiment broke through to the west, they were strongly blocked by the Chinese New Ninth Division. They were equipped with a large number of individual anti-tank rocket launchers, and the cavalry regiment's combat vehicle squadron had 8 tanks. and armored vehicles were all destroyed, the regiment commander Kawashima Yoshizo Osa Tamama was shattered, and the 112th Regiment suffered heavy losses..."
Lieutenant General Takeuchi Hiroshi was completely dumbfounded. He didn't know why so many Chinese troops suddenly appeared, and he cursed angrily:
"Baga Yalu, didn't you say before that the Chinese expeditionary force had been defeated?"
Chief of Staff Shimomura Taro had no choice but to endure the scolding. He had to let the division commander finish venting his words. The saliva was as bad as it was, so he had to endure it.
"Baga Yalu, please send a message to the Commander to send aerial warriors to come over for tactical guidance."
Lieutenant General Hiroshi Takeuchi finally lowered his face and asked the commander for tactical guidance, pinning his hopes on the support of the air warriors;
But it takes time for the plane to dispatch. It takes at least more than two hours to get from Liangguang Airport. This does not include the preparation time for dispatch, so they have to endure it for at least three hours.
The mechanized regiment of the New 38th Division assaulted very quickly, and three hours was enough for them to defeat the 55th Division.
Bright light, the Fifteenth Army Headquarters, Lieutenant General Iida is in a very good mood, the battle situation on the front line has become clear, and victory is in sight;
The news that the 146th Regiment of the 56th Division had lost contact has not yet been reported to him, so for the time being he was still immersed in the joy of defeating John Bull and the Chinese army of more than 200,000 in one fell swoop.
It is no exaggeration to say that he created another battlefield miracle of defeating more with less.
The old Japanese was in a good mood and asked the chief of staff, Major General Haruki Isayama, to play chess with him.
Major General Isayama could also tell, so he said jokingly:
"Your Excellency, Commander, according to the latest battlefield news, the Chinese Expeditionary Force has been defeated. Most of its main forces, the Sixth Army and the Sixty-sixth Army, have been lost, and the rest are retreating to China;
The Fifth Army abandoned all its heavy equipment and retreated into the Savage Mountains. The vast virgin forests in the northern part of the Emerald Kingdom would help the Imperial Army engulf this mechanized force of China.
John Bull's army of more than 100,000 people lost all their heavy equipment and fled towards the Asan Kingdom;
With only four divisions, the imperial army defeated no less than twenty mechanized divisions of the coalition forces. This dazzling record was unparalleled even in the entire empire. "
It is said that flattery never wears out what it wears, and besides, Lieutenant General Iida does not feel that Major General Isayama is flattering him, what he said is all true;
The battle of the Jade Kingdom is enough to be recorded in the annals of the history of the Jade Kingdom, and it will complement those shining famous generals in history.
Fortunately, someone came to slap him in the face right away. A major communications staff officer ran in in a panic and disturbed the commander's mood. Naturally, he was going to be scolded. Lieutenant General Iida snorted and said sternly:
"Bagaya Road, the imperial officer is in such a panic, how unbecoming it is!"
As soon as the Major Staff Officer saw the Commander's face, he knew that his future was bleak. He knew it would affect his mood, but he still had to say that delaying the military plane would be fatal.
"Your Excellency, Commander, there is an urgent call from the 55th Division. They were suddenly counterattacked by the Chinese and suffered heavy losses. Please ask for tactical guidance!"
Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida thought he had heard wrongly, with a look of confusion on his face. However, Major General Isayama knew it was true as soon as he saw the expression on his subordinate's face. He immediately stood up and took the message, reading it through every line at a glance. My jaw dropped in shock;
After reading it carefully from beginning to end, I sent it away to the communications staff officer after making sure it was correct, and then handed it to Lieutenant General Iida.
Iida took it and looked at it. His face looked like a dyeing room. The buttons of the military uniform on his chest were about to be broken. He was full of resentment and needed to be vented. The title of the imperial general was like a cooked duck - Fei Got it!
"Bagayalu, Takeuchi is a loser! A disgrace to the imperial soldiers..."
I have omitted a thousand words here. They are all curse words. They are so vulgar that even Major General Isayama can't listen to them. However, he could only listen to it until he felt that the heat was almost over, and then he had to bite the bullet and remind him:
"Your Excellency, Commander, rescuing troops is like putting out fire. The Chinese mechanized troops are attacking fiercely. We must immediately order the flying team to support them and destroy the abominable Chinese tanks."
Lieutenant General Iida was really dizzy with anger. After Isayama reminded him, he remembered that now was not the time to get angry. He suppressed his anger and said to Isayama:
"Quickly, send the First and Second Flying Wings to support the 55th Division. We must blow up all the Chinese tanks into scrap metal!"
Just after Iida finished speaking, he saw the staff officer who had been driven away before coming over in a panic. He felt depressed for no reason and said angrily:
"Speak quickly!"
"The 56th Division sent an urgent message. On the way to pursue the Fifth Army, the 146th Regiment was ambushed by the enemy. All the warriors were shattered..."
Lieutenant General Iida's blood immediately surged up, his throat felt sweet, and a stream of dog blood spurted out, pouring into Major General Isayama's face.
