Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the six regiments of the Han Railway Troops on the front lines of Wulongbei, Bianmen and Baoshan in the north of Andong launched a full-line counterattack against the newly formed First Corps of the Kwantung Army, they retreated from the direction of Zhuanghe on the lines of Tangchi and Longwang Temple in the south of Andong.  The Japanese 107th Division that came down was also blocked by the First Brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps. The prepared independent division troops took action and beat the Japanese army, which had lost all fighting spirit, to a halt.

    Han Tie did not devote too much energy to the battlefield of chasing the newly formed First Corps of the Kwantung Army. The one-sided battle was nothing worthy of attention. What Han Tie was really concerned about was the Japanese army that retreated from the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula. In Han Tie's view,  , that is the real devil. Although it is a lost dog, such a dog will bite people more fiercely. In addition, it is eager to escape, so why not fight with its life?

    The battle began, but the situation reflected in the phone call from the frontline commander made Han Tie unable to guess. The Japanese attack was not violent, nor did they launch ferocious attacks again and again, eager to open the enemy blocked in front.  The independent division troops are in position, and there are not many troops. Compared with previous expectations, the battle is very easy!

    Han Tie was puzzled. Anton was the only way for the Japanese 107th Division to escape to Fengtian. Although the 107th Division was attacked repeatedly and suffered heavy casualties, judging from all aspects of the situation, how could it be left?  With about 10,000 troops spread across various blocking areas, there must be one or two thousand little Japs anyway, right?

    "The fight was very easy? Are the little devils not in a hurry to escape, or do they have other plans?" Han Tie said to himself doubtfully, "Chief of Staff, order the blocking troops south of Anton to not take it lightly and to strictly guard their positions.  No counterattack is allowed without receiving orders. No matter what tricks the little devils play, we will just say 'defend!' Don't be anxious, little devils, I can afford to delay you!" he told Chief of Staff Wang!  Dongshan said.

    Judging from this stable deployment, Han Tie knows how to use troops, if it is north of Andong.  When facing the newly formed First Corps of the Kwantung Army, he would not hesitate to order the troops to counterattack, and for the remnants of the 107th Division that had retreated all the way.  But they were cautious. The Japanese troops they faced were in different situations, and the combat methods adopted were also different. Generally speaking.  This is Han Tie's strategy to defend Anton.  Attack from the north and defend from the south.

    When a small number of troops of the 107th Division carried out a small-scale attack on the blocking positions of the Independent Division troops on the Tangchi and Longwangmiao lines, the remaining troops of the 107th Division, about 7,000 people, followed the instructions of the Kwantung Army Commander-in-Chief Umezu  Following General Meijiro's order, he turned around and headed west.  Heading towards Gaizhou, Hantie is located in Andong City.  Not knowing this situation, he had no way of knowing that General Umezu Yoshijiro had made a mistake.

    North of Andong, on the Wulongbei, Bianmen, and Baoshan front lines, six regiments of the Korean Railways launched an all-out attack. More than 180 tanks opened the way, followed by more than 30,000 murderous independent division soldiers, chasing and holding  The 60,000 to 70,000 people of the newly formed First Corps of the Kwantung Army were beaten hard by the newly formed First Corps of the Kwantung Army, who were desperately running towards Fengtian. On the way of pursuit, the corpses of Manchurian soldiers could be seen everywhere. The wounded soldiers were abandoned on both sides of the road, staring at empty and frightened eyes.  With his eyes, he looked at the tanks of the Independent Division, rumbling by, and at the soldiers of the Independent Division, a hurricane blew past them.

    There were more Manchurian soldiers who couldn't run anymore. Their hearts were beating so fast that they were in their throats. Their eyes were getting dark. They simply threw their rifles to the side, sat down on the ground, and took a big mouthful.  Breathing heavily and assuming a posture of waiting to be captured, these Manchurian soldiers also thought about it. If they kept running like this, they would be killed by the bullets of the independent division soldiers, or they would vomit blood and die from exhaustion!

    Simply, forget about being prisoners, maybe there is still a way to survive. We can't compare with those Japanese. If the Japanese don't run away, they will die. We can be considered Chinese after all. At first, only a dozen or twenty people did this.  Soon, more Manchurian soldiers chose to be prisoners.

    Wherever the troops of the Independent Division went, they saw Manchurian soldiers slumped into a ball everywhere. Their rifles were thrown far away, and they were all panting out of breath. Later, it even affected the speed of the troops' pursuit.  .

    Therefore, the commanders of each regiment immediately reported the situation to the headquarters. Han Tie was thinking about the strange behavior of the 107th Infantry Division that had retreated from the Zhuanghe line. Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan put down the phone.  Reported the situation encountered by the counterattack troops.

    Han Tie clicked his teeth and said, "Oh! Weird things happen every year, especially today. The real Japs in the south are fighting lukewarm, and the two Japs in the north are waiting to be taken prisoner. Damn it! The troops are now counterattacking.  How far is it?" he asked Chief of Staff Wang Dongshandao.

    Wang Dongshan replied: "We have now chased nearly 20 kilometers and reached the Dongtang, Yangshuichuan, and Maodianzi lines. According to reports from the leaders of each regiment, it is estimated that there are at least 40,000 prisoners waiting for us to deal with!"

    Han Tie curled his lips and said dissatisfied: "Tch! Don't say more than 40,000.Even more than 80,000 people are not rare to us. If the Japanese are really Japanese, more than 100,000 people are not too much. However, these more than 40,000 Manchurian prisoners are also a big problem. Okay, order the troops to take them as soon as possible.  Stop the counterattack immediately, retreat to the original position, and continue the pursuit. It's time to meet the newly formed Second Corps of the Kwantung Army. There are hundreds of thousands of people. We won't suffer that loss!  "

    "Also, order the artillery unit. If the newly formed Second Corps of the Kwantung Army launches an attack, follow the prescription and give him a heavy dose of artillery shells. Coupled with the bombers and fighter jets in the sky, maybe we can launch a counterattack right away.  Yes! Hahaha!¡±

    Without the roar of the tank engine, without the shouts of the pursuers, and without the shells and bullets fired from behind, the Kwantung Army's newly formed First Corps finally escaped the fate of annihilation and defeated thirty soldiers in one breath.  After running for a few kilometers, until I almost fell apart, my throat felt salty, my legs were as soft as cotton, and there were less than 15,000 troops left, I finally stopped, whether it was the Japanese or the Manchus.  **The soldiers and police were like dead dogs, lying on the ground breathing heavily.

    Among the remaining more than 10,000 people, there are more than 6,000 Japanese officers at all levels. The rest are hard-core traitors who are dedicated to serving the Japanese. In addition, there are the Puppet Manchukuo police who usually do many evil things. In addition to following the Japanese,  There was no other way out. They also knew that based on the evil things they usually did to the people in Northeast China, they would not be a good person if they fell into the hands of the soldiers of the Independent Division, so they simply ran down with the Japanese.

    Commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Yoshijiro, and Major General Xu Yi, Commander-in-Chief Fukuzawa, had a good fortune and survived without any injuries. Part of it was because he was trapped by the defeated troops, and part of it was because he cherished his own life.  I don¡¯t want to die here either.

    After panting for a long time, his heart jumped in his throat and finally fell back into his stomach. Colonel Fukuzawa struggled to support his body and sat on the wet mud floor. He looked around at the lying areas and didn't want to move his fingers.  The subordinates were speechless for a while. The First Corps was completely finished. There were more than 90,000 people before departure. Now, looking at this, there are less than 20,000 people left. The most important thing is that they failed to break through the blocking position of the independent division.  Failed to attack Anton!

    "Both of the two tasks were not completed, but the troops were dispersed. How should I explain to Commander-in-Chief Umezu? Can the Commander-in-Chief spare me?" Captain Fukuzawa felt confused and fearful, and was beaten without any fighting spirit.  , can the First Corps, with less than 20,000 people, still muster the courage to fight back?  He didn't even have this idea himself.

    At this time, the Major Chief of Staff of the Corps, limping with the support of the hurried guards, came over with a telegram and said: "Report to the Corps Captain, I received a telegram from the Commander-in-Chief, asking our department if there has been a breakthrough.  Seize the position of the independent division to block the troops and launch an attack on Anton on time? "

    This is a telegram like a reminder. Now that the First Corps has almost been wiped out, what kind of attack will it launch? If the independent division troops continue to pursue it, I am afraid that not even one of the 20,000 people will be left. Previously, General Umezu Yoshijiro's  Captain Fuze clearly remembered the telegram. If he could not complete the task of occupying Anton, all the officers of the First Corps from top to bottom would commit suicide by caesarean section as apology!

    Captain Fukuzawa did not answer the telegram and said to the Major Chief of Staff: "Chief of Staff, you personally draft a telegram and immediately report the current situation of the First Corps to the Commander-in-Chief. Waiting for the Commander-in-Chief's order, I will find  A quiet place for some quiet time!¡±

    After saying that, he staggered into the woods beside the road without even taking the guards. The major chief of staff cursed in his heart, "How damn cunning. You are the captain, but you let me, the chief of staff, take over the first corps?"  If I report my current behavior to Commander-in-Chief Umezu, won¡¯t I be allowed to bear the Commander-in-Chief¡¯s wrath? You, the commander-in-chief, will be the first to commit suicide!¡±

    This telegram is not easy to write. The Major Chief of Staff is in a dilemma. If he is reporting the news of the occupation of Anton, he has a lot to say, but.  .  .  .  .  .  This is so difficult!  More than twenty minutes have passed, and the telegraph newspaper is still blank.

    At this time, a captain officer, with a pale face, ran over in a panic, "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, something serious has happened! Captain Fukuzawa committed suicide by caesarean section! It's in the woods ahead!"

    "Hani?" Major Chief of Staff trembled in shock, jumped up suddenly, and the telegraph newspaper slipped to the ground. Under the leadership of the captain officer, he stumbled into the woods. Sure enough, Colonel Fukuzawa leaned against a stone with a painful expression.  Under the big tree, a command knife was inserted deeply into the stomach. There was a large pool of solidified blood on the ground, exuding the pungent smell of blood. The person had long since run out of breath!

    The Major Chief of Staff grinned, his scalp numbing, "Colonel Fukuzawa was very cruel to me. Not counting the command knife inserted into his stomach, in order to die quickly, he even pulled it sideways several times, and his intestines were broken!"

    ??Looking at Colonel Fukuzawa who was still dead, the Major Chief of Staff¡¯s calves wereHe began to tremble. According to the rules of the Imperial Japanese Army, Captain Fukuzawa committed suicide by caesarean section. Next, it was his turn as the Chief of Staff!
