Nao County. Beicheng position.
This is the forefront of the battle between the First Army and Li Guoyao's troops. It is also the most fierce battlefield in Shanxi at present.
Stationed here is the Japanese Third Guard Corps. Although this is a new force, the commander Yamazaki is a veteran with more than 20 years of military experience and has participated in all wars related to Japan in the past 20 years.
????????????? This person graduated from the Engineering Department of the Mainland University and served as the captain of the engineering brigade, so he has considerable experience in building fortifications.
It is precisely because of the solid fortifications on the line between Dai County and Fanzhi that Yamazaki's troops unexpectedly successfully broke through and were not annihilated like the defenders of Yu County.
After the troops withdrew to Gu County, Colonel Yamazaki ordered the troops to strengthen their defensive positions, build many temporary bunkers, renovate the fortifications near the city wall, and add many light and heavy machine guns, so that the bright and dark firepower points could coordinate with each other. , leaving no dead ends.
Despite this, the morale of the Japanese soldiers defending the city is still low. There is no way. Yesterday, the Chinese army put great psychological pressure on all the Japanese soldiers. The strong lineup and fierce firepower configuration made the Japanese army desperate.
But there was no way, the official level was crushing people to death. Under the orders of Shanggang Budo and Itazu Naotoshi, their newly formed army could only face the Chinese army outside the city.
Colonel Yamazaki knew very well that the incomplete city defense in Guoxian County did not have the ability to fight offensive and defensive battles with the Chinese army. The only way to hold back the Chinese army was to hold on to the position in Guoxian County through "field battles based on the city". Create conditions for the Imperial Japanese Army to gather in Xinkou.
Later, Colonel Yamazaki made detailed arrangements for the city defense of Nao County. He dispatched the first brigade to guard the north city of Nao County, the second and third brigade to garrison the west city of Nao County and the southwest of Nanguan, and the fourth brigade to garrison the east city and southwestern part of Nao County. East of Nanguan.
The above troops all used one-third of their strength to guard the city, and the main force was deployed outside the city to control the northwest area of ??the city. The general command post was located in a small courtyard on the right side of the original garrison headquarters.
Colonel Yamazaki believed that the national army might have figured out the situation in the city long ago. If the headquarters remained in place, it would probably be shelled by the Chinese army.
At dawn on May 31, Li Guoyao's Central Route Army, totaling more than 40,000 people, arrived in Guo County with the cooperation of cavalry, artillery and a large number of engineers, and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese and puppet army positions outside the city.
The Japanese troops in the north of the city were the first to bear the brunt. Since they received the death order, both sides fought bravely.
Especially the Japanese army, although they did not have an advantage in military strength and firepower, and they did not have the support of aviation, they fought tenaciously and fought fiercely with the national army with the determination to survive and die with the position.
The Japanese army did fight bravely, but there were too many new soldiers. Many of them had never been on the battlefield before and barely learned how to shoot and how to compete with Li Guoyao's army.
Therefore, in the face of the attack by Li Guoyao's troops, the Japanese army could only parry and be beaten, without the ability to fight back, and suffered heavy casualties.
The battle started at dawn and did not suspend the attack until three o'clock in the afternoon. During this period, the Japanese army sent 12 fighter planes totaling more than 200 sorties to assist in the battle, which caused considerable trouble to Li Guoyao's troops.
Taiyuan. First Army Headquarters.
The chief of staff, Major General Yamaoka Budo, was extremely anxious. When the commander of the army, Yoshimoto Teiichi, went south to direct the operations, he, the chief of staff, held up the First Army. It's just that his luck is relatively bad, and the sky is about to collapse as long as he holds on.
"Report, urgent call from the Guo County defenders!"
"Read it!" Shanggang Martial Arts said in a deep voice.
The combat staff on the side said hurriedly: "Legion Headquarters: The main force of the Ninth Army is surrounded by tens of thousands of troops in Guo County. At dawn today, more than 2,000 enemy troops carrying more than 20 artillery pieces attacked the imperial army on three sides. Under the cover of artillery fire, they gradually approached. They forced themselves near the imperial army's position and tried to build fortifications, but were repulsed! Before eight o'clock, the man used powerful firepower to completely destroy our army's forward position, and our troops suffered heavy casualties."
"At 10:15 in the morning, a heavy artillery bombarded the city and the garrison headquarters was razed to the ground. Fortunately, our command headquarters had been evacuated without any casualties. However, the artillery carried out a precise strike on the forward command organ. The temporary command post of the First Battalion was destroyed. Captain Takahashi, Captain and Staff Officer Kano, Sergeant Oshima and many guards were killed. Due to the loss of unified command, the two lines of defense of the First Battalion outside the north gate were successively supported/that When people broke through, the chief of staff of the garrison, Shaozuo Ueno, personally went to the city gate to direct and supervise the battle."
"At three o'clock in the afternoon, the artillery bombarded our north gate position violently again. The imperial army fought bravely against the enemy. However, the enemy's artillery fire was too strong and the north gate position was completely destroyed.The army was destroyed, all the officers and soldiers of the first brigade were martyred, and the Ministry of Staff had to use the reserve team In Yuanping, Guo County, the enemy and we fought fiercely, both the offensive and defensive sides suffered heavy casualties, and reinforcements were urgently needed! "
After listening to the telegram for help sent by Colonel Yamazaki from the front line, Sanggang Martial Arts fell silent.
He knew Yamazaki Colonel very well and knew that he was a cautious and proud person. If it hadn't been when he was about to lose his strength, a person like him would never have said the word "ask for help" so easily.
Now that I have said it, this only shows that the situation on the front line is worse than imagined.
Moreover, it can be seen from this request for help telegram that the Chinese army is far more powerful than they expected. It not only has an established artillery unit, but also heavy artillery for siege, which was the case in Japan a few years ago. The patent of the Imperial Army.
Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the support/that person not only surpassed the Imperial Japanese Army in terms of firepower, but also kept pace with them in terms of combat effectiveness.
"How long can Yamazaki's troops hold on?" Major General Yamagang Martial Arts asked in a deep voice.
"The Yamazaki Division originally had less than 4,000 people. After losing more than 1,600 people in Fanzhi and Dai County, there are only more than 2,400 people left at this time. Judging from the current situation, if they continue to persist Two days is not a big problem, but even if reinforcements arrive by then, I am afraid that the Third Guard Corps will be left with nothing but an empty frame!" the combat staff officer replied.
"Now that all the troops are there, how long will it take to reach the scheduled location?"
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the 229th Brigade and the 230th Brigade of the 10th Independent Brigade are about to arrive at Xinkou. The 243rd Brigade and the 245th Brigade of the 14th Independent Brigade have also set off from Lu'an and are expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon. Xinkou. In addition, the two brigades led by Zhao Sang and Yang Sang have also set off from Taiyuan and are marching quickly. They are expected to arrive at Xinkou tonight."
Shanggang Martial Arts looked at the map and said: "Hey Xi, after these troops arrive at the front line, the number of garrison troops on the Xinkou front line will reach 15,000. Coupled with the dangerous terrain of Xinkou, support/ That person wouldn't be able to defeat the main force of the imperial army without 100,000 people."
Just as he was talking, a combat staff officer hurried in, holding a piece of telegram in his hand.
"Report, urgent call from the Front Army Headquarters!"
After receiving the telegram and reading it again and again, Shanggang Budao said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Commander Okamura, called to ask our department how long the Xinkou Defense Line can last!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a lieutenant general and staff officer said immediately: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, apparently Commander Okamura is asking us if we need reinforcements from the troops in the Henan battlefield."
"Youxi, call Mr. Okamura back immediately and tell him that you can be safe in a week. If you try to stick to it for half a month, it shouldn't be a big problem!" Shanggang Martial Arts ordered.
"Hai!"
