Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The officers of the 107th Division of the Japanese Army all know the temper of the division commander, the demeanor of a general, and the tenacity of an imperial soldier. His face does not change even when Mount Tai collapses in front of him. The lieutenant general likes this tone. These few days  During the day, the division commander showed off his imperial spirit from time to time. In the rain of bullets bombed and strafed by the independent division's planes, he stood upright under a certain big tree, looking at the sky with coldness and contempt at the corner of his mouth.  , the raging independent division aircraft refused to hide despite the bullets whizzing and bombs exploding.

    The imperial charisma of the commander of the Shinyuemon division has been shown off enough, but it has hurt the hearts of many officers in the division and the guard captain, but there is nothing they can do about it. Who can persuade him to hide?  , it is guaranteed that he will get an angry scolding from a "coward! Not worthy of being an emperor", and it is the same now. No one dared to ask the reason, and they all stood silently behind Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon. However, there was no division commander, His Excellency.  In a good mood, they looked into the sky nervously, alert to the independent division planes that might appear at any time!

    Near ten o'clock in the morning, the planes of the Fourth Independent Division appeared in the southeastern sky. The Japanese officers secretly complained, "Such a large number of people standing in the open space are not the best living targets."  ?" Everyone's eyes were nervously staring at the direction in which the Independent Division plane was flying.

    Only the commander of the Shinyuemon Division still half-closed his eyes and looked unmoving. The roar of the independent division's planes was getting closer and closer, and he could already hear the whistling of bombs falling from the sky. Suddenly, he suddenly  He opened his eyes and shouted, "Here we come!"

    The Japanese officers were stunned, they were not here.  The Chinese planes began to bomb, the commander of the New Yuemon Division.  Knowing what the officers were thinking, he smiled slightly and said, "Gentlemen, listen, the roaring sounds of engines in the northern sky are the arrival of the empire's eagles in the sky!"

    As if to verify his words.  Sure enough, Japanese fighter jets appeared in the northern sky.  At this time, the officers could not help but admire the division commander. In just the blink of an eye, a group of Japanese fighter jets rushed in front of them.  Get to grips with an independent division and aircraft group.  The fighter jets from both sides flew up and down, entangled together, machine guns fired "ta-ta-ta-ta" and kept roaring, and the sky was immediately filled with milky-white ballistics.

    The air battle lasted only a few minutes, and the independent division's aircraft seemed to be exhausted and fled to the southeast.  The Japanese fighter group immediately launched a fierce pursuit, and the Japanese officers shouted wildly.  I was so excited. For several days, the soldiers and officers of the 107th Division were bombed and strafed day and night by the Independent Division's planes. Their spirits were about to collapse. Now, the lingering ghost of Independent Division  The Japanese army's aircraft was beaten to pieces by the Empire of Japan's aerial war eagles, and they fled in embarrassment. These Japanese officers felt so relieved!

    The Japanese soldiers hiding in various places witnessed this almost one-sided air battle. Their excitement was even stronger than that of the officers. In terms of suffering, the top soldiers must have suffered more than the officers. "The Empire of Japan  Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Imperial Air Eagle!¡± cheers resounded throughout the field.

    The commander of the Shinyuemon Division glowed red, and the gloom of the past few days was swept away. He loudly said to the Chief of Staff, Major General Kuroda: "Kuroda-kun, order the troops to set off immediately and approach Zhuanghe County as quickly as possible.  , we must regain as much time as possible!"

    With no air threat, tens of thousands of troops from the 107th Division of the Japanese Army surged toward the Zhuang River from the Dagushan line like a rolling torrent. Behind them were tens of thousands of troops from the second echelon, the 69th Division.  , on this day, starting from ten o'clock in the morning, the air blockade of the independent division aviation against the attacking Japanese troops from the east and west was completely broken by the newly formed Kwantung Army's First Aviation Group and the three fighter wings of the vanguard. The situation on the battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula was completely broken.  The Japanese army took advantage of the situation and pounced ferociously towards the southern part of the peninsula.

    In Incheon, Korean Peninsula, the Independent Division Aviation Joint Air Command, Liu Cuigang put down the phone and said to Le Yiqin with a smile: "Yiqin, the bombing of the Japanese troops in the Liaodong Peninsula is officially over. It has been successfully completed. According to the division's instructions,  The next step is to ensure the air security of the blocking line from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan. Just now, we received a call from the commander of the returning fighter formation. We have a tie with the three Japanese fighter wings and have a slight advantage.  A bit cheap!¡±

    Le Yiqin suddenly stopped, glanced at Liu Cuigang, and said angrily: "I said Cuigang, it's a tie, I see why you seem to be taking advantage of Da Da, you are so complacent, no  Is it the fighter wing of three little devils? It's okay to bring food to your mouth. In order to take into account the overall situation and not affect the division commander's overall deployment, we won't eat them all, but you can take a bite. You just won't let me take it.  The team took off, and I was feeling angry!"

    Liu Cuigang¡¯s smile became brighter and brighter, and he said, ¡°I¡¯m holding back my anger! Do you want to give your opinion to the teacher? Send a telegram right away! I¡¯ll write it if you tell me!¡±

      Le Yiqin wilted at that time and said: "Well, just pretend that I didn't say it. Isn't it just to complain a little? I haven't eaten the piece of meat at my mouth, and I feel angry, so I just want to complain to you.  , Am I someone who doesn¡¯t have a sense of the overall situation? If you give me advice, I¡¯ll send you to your door to be disciplined!¡±

    The officers in the air command tower couldn't help but secretly laugh when they saw the two commanders bickering like children. Liu Cuigang suppressed his laughter and said: "Yiqin, the Japanese aviation force is uncharacteristic and dares to fight with three fighter wings."  , I estimate that this is just the vanguard, and the bulk is still behind. The main battlefield of the future air battle is likely to be in the airspace from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan. From now on, you will be busy! "

    Le Yiqin said with satisfaction: "I like to hear this. The little Japanese planes from Japan have never tasted our power. It was our first battle today. It seems that we were beaten and returned in embarrassment. We are arrogant and arrogant again.  In addition to the victory in the first battle, before the official battle, the Little Japanese Air Force lost one move first. Cui Gang, I will protect the Little Japanese fleet that dares to come to the Northeast battlefield and the Korean Peninsula battlefield, and I will not be able to take care of any of them!  "

    The aviation troops of the seemingly independent division were really beaten by the Imperial Japanese Air Force so that they did not dare to show their faces. On the march route of the 107th Division, the soldiers no longer had to worry about bombs falling at any time.  With their morale greatly boosted and the energy held in their hearts, the 107th Division advanced at an astonishing speed. One day and one night later, when the dawn first appeared in the eastern sky, its leading force, the 21st Brigade,  A regiment of the regiment has arrived at the north bank of the river in Wulu Town.

    After receiving the report from the avant-garde squadron, the commander of the wing, Colonel Nibashi, rode a tall horse, surrounded by officers from the wing headquarters, and caught up from behind. Colonel Nibashi was very cautious, and he did not rashly order the troops to continue.  Go forward, but stay on the north bank of the river.

    Colonel Shimbashi jumped off his horse and held up a telescope to observe the situation carefully. In the mist of dawn, the river was only more than thirty meters wide. The water waves were flowing slowly. A wooden bridge silently spanned both sides of the river. Henan  On the shore, a patch of lush wild grass and a few thick bushes extended southward from the gentle river beach. There was no sign of any fortifications. Everything was very quiet, just like the area the regiment had passed through before.

    But it was this intact bridge that made Colonel Shinbashi doubtful. Since the 107th Division set out from Anton, all the bridges on the rivers it passed along the way were blown up by independent division aircraft. As the leader of the division,  The army unit was doing a lot of bridge repair work, but the bridge over the river was intact. Especially, the front was approaching Zhuanghe, an important town on the way to the southernmost part of the Liaodong Peninsula.  The retreating Chinese people left this bridge behind. Could it be that there was some conspiracy?

    Colonel Shimbashi was more thoughtful and immediately reported the situation encountered by the regiment to the brigade headquarters and asked for instructions on what to do next. Major General Kono, the commander of the 21st Brigade, did not dare to neglect and immediately reported the new situation to the brigade headquarters.  The telegram from the bridge was reported to the division headquarters intact. Major General Kono knew that the command style of the commander of the Shinyuemon Division has always been to stick to the bottom with a stick. He can even bypass the brigade and regiment and directly command a group.  Brigade.

    As long as the 107th Division acts collectively, the brigade commanders and regimental commanders often act as a sounding board, responsible for conveying the orders of the Shin-Yoemon division commander. For the division commander's command method,  The commanders of the Japanese front-line troops were quite complaining, but they had no choice but to do so. Firstly, they had no senior officials, and secondly, they really did not have the commanding ability of Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon!

    After receiving the telegram from the 21st Brigade, the commander of the Shinyouemon Division raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Is the old suspicion formation? China people have read too many Romance of the Three Kingdoms! That river is not Changbanpo, Dangyang  bridge!"

    The officers around me were so confused that they didn¡¯t understand anything. What about Changbanpo and Dangyang Bridge? Where are these?  The commander of the Shinyuemon Division, who was an intensive reader of Chinese classics, was too lazy to explain and ordered: "Call back to the 21st Brigade. Its leading unit can conduct a short fire reconnaissance on the south bank of the river. After that, the unit will  Quickly pass through the river and occupy Wulu Town and Zhuanghe County! The main force of the division speeds up the march. I will have lunch in Zhuanghe County at noon today!"

    Among the three-pronged attack on the Japanese army, the 107th Division advanced the fastest. If compared horizontally, it was ahead of the 109th Division attacking on the western front and the 1st and 2nd Detachments of the Kwantung Army attacking on the middle line by approximately  More than seventy kilometers long, just when the commander of the Shinyuemon Division was about to go out for lunch in Zhuanghe, the more than one hundred kilometers long blocking line across the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula, all defense points, except the southern line, were not in sight.  It was discovered that the leading troops of the Japanese army were approaching.
