Chapter 872: Killing Toshima Fangtaro
When Du Guangting saw Du Guangting, who was attacking and charging tactics of the New First Army's armored cluster, his visual shock simply subverted his imagination. When he returned to his command center, he was depressed. He always claimed that he knew the tactics of tanks and armored cars best in China. He suddenly found that what he was proud of was vulnerable to others, and even worth mentioning!
From the establishment of the armored chariot battalion, to the later armored corps, and to the current 200th Division, this is known as China's first mechanized armored force, which has always been a huge problem that has not been solved.
That is Bu Tan Coordination!
Of course, there are deeper coordination between ins and tanks, and it is even more difficult to coordinate with other troops. His national government is still not as good as the troops developed by others.
Judging from others, the coordinated combat between these three parties has obviously been initially taken.
Because this coordination has not been resolved well, there are no fewer jokes about being beaten to death and injured by one's own people during the battle.
There are many officers and soldiers in the armored brigade of the New First Army who were lost in Nanjing, and some are company platoon leaders. Now they are all in the armored brigade.
Although he drove Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, he was not ambiguous when fighting, at least it was much better than when he was in Nanjing.
The organization and scale of the armored brigade are less than one-fifth of that of the 200th Division, but their combat power is much stronger than that of the 200th Division. If they are facing a head-on battle, they will definitely lose by themselves under the same number.
This time, he brought one battalion from each regiment to form an assault group to participate in the Lanfeng Battle. Although he also won, he not only did not lose the disadvantage when fighting against Japanese tanks and armored vehicles on the front, but also could firmly gain the upper hand in the local area.
That was so energetic and the leader. He was just thinking that he was so arrogant. Who knew that when the New Army had such a lightning raid, his rapid pursuit troops followed behind him but were almost wiped out.
This blow simply threw him from the clouds into hell. He couldn't sleep well for several nights in pain, making him now a spectator on the edge of the battlefield, and could only pick up what others had left to clean the battlefield.
Logically speaking, we can't blame others for this. We don't blame them. If we want to blame, we can only blame the Japanese devils. It was the air strikes carried out by Japanese fighter jets on them.
In that uncovered and barbed place, any person on the ground can become a living target, and even if he sticks his butt and buries it into the soil, he can't hide.
Resentment and cursing are useless. After calming down, Du Guangting also felt that he was actually looking for the wrong direction to find Xue Boling's theory. What a childish and ridiculous behavior of the High-tech Army "not saving his life when he dies."
If anyone else was in such a situation, it would not be possible to take action. It would not be like exposing yourself on the verge of exposure, and it was no different from suicide.
However, this does not mean that the New First Army and the New 38th Division have no responsibility!
There was no notification before their lightning raid. If they had known that they were ambushing the Japanese army halfway, they would not have followed them and acted as "scapegoats" for them.
Taking this, Du Guangting felt that he had completely found the right reason. The 200th Division suffered such great losses, so it could not be so cheap for the New Army.
Du Guangting decided to continue complaining. Who should I complain to? Xue Boling must not be able to do it. Chief Xue is obviously favoring the New First Army. Judging from the performance of the New First Army's armored brigade and heavy artillery brigade today, Xue Boling obviously has a good relationship with the New First Army Commander Leng.
No matter how you sue, others will not accept it. If you sue too much, it will even make people dislike it.
If you want to sue, just sue the emperor directly!
Du Guangting handed the paper directly to Lao Jiang.
Lao Jiang also felt sorry for the losses of the 200th Division. After all, Du Guangting was also his good student and his confidant general. After suffering such a big loss, the equipment he had worked hard to buy was gone before it could work. Of course, he had to be held accountable.
So he doubted whether Xue Boling knew about the action plan of the New First Army Armored Brigade and Heavy Artillery Brigade to blitz the Japanese army in advance. If he knew in advance, why not notify the troops below?
If I had known the plan for the raid, the raid group that pursued should have been prepared, at least it would not have been wiped out so miserable.
"Mr. Jiang still doesn't trust us." He was also a little worried about the losses of the 200th Division when he received a telegram from Jiang and asked him to explain.
"It has been several days since this incident and should be calmed down. New 38 did nothing wrong with the New 1st Army. Why is there anyone who refuses to forgive me?" Wu Xiqi felt strange?
"I'm afraid that someone will be hurt by the scene in this battle today?" Xue Boling said quietly.
"You mean Du Guangting..."
"If it were you, wouldn't you feel heartbroken for such a big loss?" Xue Boling said, "It makes sense that he kept holding on. This time, he did not mention not saving the enemy when he was dead. Instead, he caught the New First Army and the New 38th Division before the raid, which caused the friendly troops to be without any precautions before this. The New First Army and the New 38th Division must bear part of the responsibility for the losses of the 200th Division."
"this……"
"We knew about the raid plan in advance, right?"
Wu Xiqi nodded bitterly. He also reminded Xue Boling whether to inform the troops below of the raid plan of the New First Army and the New 38th Division to the small-scale.
However, Xue Boling was worried that it was easy to leak information when informing the downward news. After all, before this, the frequent leaks of internal secrets in the National Army occurred, causing the National Army to suffer repeated losses in the battle against Japan.
Moreover, this time the plan is sudden and secret. If these two factors are lost, the effect will be greatly reduced, and it will even harm the New First Army and the New 38th Division.
"How did Chairman Jiang go back?"
"We will do whatever we decide. I will take this matter down." Xue Boling calmly ordered.
"I have a responsibility for this matter, too..."
"What are your responsibilities? You have reminded me that I decided not to inform you below. The responsibility lies with me. Mr. Jiang replied that he understood this truth." Xue Boling raised his hand and said.
"I think this telegram is better if I'm co-branded with you."
"Okay, don't say it anymore. Is the summary of today's battle? I want to read it?" Xue Boling interrupted Wu Xiqi's words.
Xue Boling took all the responsibility, which Du Guangting did not expect. In this way, the matter had nothing to do with the New First Army and the New 38th Division.
Du Guangting’s purpose of complaining was not to shirk his responsibilities. Of course, he did bear certain command responsibilities and did not consider air defense. He fought in plains, especially in open areas without any shelter. When the enemy had air supremacy, the pursuing troops actually ignored air defense.
Of course, in that case, even if you are prepared, it will not be of much use, and you have no place to hide.
Unlike the New First Army's armored brigade, people had already prepared for it. Before the enemy planes arrived, they had already hidden themselves. There was no target on the ground in the sky that was hundreds of meters away.
This shows that they have long been aware of prevention and control, and they have calculated accurately. After the raid, the Japanese army will definitely call for air strikes as soon as possible.
And his troops also carried anti-aircraft guns, but they failed to do much, and were all blown into a pile of scrap iron by other bombs.
He wanted to find an excuse to go to the New First Army to see it, especially the armored brigade. To put it bluntly, he wanted to go steal the division.
But you have to find a reason to come to the door. It is also a reason to raise an army to ask for punishment, but they may not pay attention to you. Maybe they didn’t even go in the camp gate and someone would be bombarded out.
It is not time to bring out the face of the old boss and find his former subordinates to reminisce about the past.
What's more, everyone has a brief and profound topic, who will be honest with you?
Du Guangting thought about it and had only one excuse to use, that is, the two armies communicated and visited and learned.
In the next two days, Du Guangting rarely spoke at military meetings. As long as the armored brigade was launched, he would be the first to follow him and observe the whole process.
Then go back to your command center, close the door, write your experiences and materials.
Tang Keqin did not break his promise and intercepted reinforcements from the 106th Japanese Division in Bozhou. The two troops fought dozens of times in two days. Although the 106th Division was a newly formed division, they were all demobilized veterans and had very strong combat power.
The Tang army had less than 50,000 troops, plus Luo Qi's 95th Division transferred from Zhengzhou, with a total of more than 60,000 troops. They blocked the 106th Division in Bozhou and prevented them from heading north to Guide.
After the Japanese army captured Suxian, the troops divided into two groups, heading towards Xuzhou and attacking Xiaoxian.
The first part of the 48th Army commanded by Liao Lei and the remnants of Li Yannian's 2nd Army built a large number of defensive fortifications in Xiao County to cover the main force to break through the mountainous areas in northern Anhui.
In the early morning of June 13, Toshima Yataro led the remnants to break through and was surrounded by the New 38th Division, which had already learned of this information, in the Chenji area on the north bank of the Liulin River, and fought fiercely for one morning.
The Japanese army broke through the siege, Toyoshima Yataro and his troops of less than 800 Japanese troops were all wiped out.
Major General Toshima Yataro was shot dead by a well in a family.
Kenji Doihara received a telegram from Toyoshima Tama, and the cunning and cruel division commander could not help but shed two tears. If Toyoshima did not break through on his own initiative, he might be able to hold on for a while.
His breakthrough was equivalent to voluntarily killing him.
But Kenji Doihara knew that he had to give this heartless order? I'm afraid only he knew best.
On the same day, the 9th Division of the Central Chinese Japanese Army entered Xuzhou City and met with the 5th Division one day in advance.
Later, the Japanese army landed in the East China Sea of the 16th Division also obtained Xuzhou, including a Marine Corps and the Independent Fifth Brigade. The Sato Detachment in northern Jiangsu went north and captured the Binhai, fighting dozens of times with Han Dequan's 24th Army.
The Japanese army did not have much military force in northern Jiangsu. It was not that the Japanese army did not value this place, but that as long as they occupied the Jinpu Road and the vast area east of the Jinpu Road, it was naturally no problem.
What the Japanese army wanted was to quickly occupy and force the National Government to surrender, and it was unrealistic to have all occupied the Japanese county towns. At least Japan does not have so many troops yet.
