Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

While Anda 23 was waiting anxiously, Nagano Uichiro, chief of staff of the No. 30 Seventh Division of the Japanese Army, hurried into the headquarters, but his face was very strange, which made Anda 23 nervous for no reason, and said anxiously: "Nagano-kun, what are you doing?" So, the 225th Wing hasn't arrived yet?"

Nagano Youichiro sighed and said, "It's here, but before they arrived, Tubalu had already fled."

"Yo Xi!" Anda 23 finally showed a smile on his face. The imperial army was mighty, and Tuba Road fled. Jinzhai originally had an independent 65th mixed brigade and its own 37th division. A regiment whose strength is already close to a division, and there are nearly ten thousand imperial association troops, even if the army is overwhelming, relying on the unique terrain of Jinzhai, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is absolutely no problem to stick to it for two days. After two days, The army of the No.11 army should arrive, and the situation is completely under the control of the imperial army.

Mr. Lin was overwhelmed. The Japanese army never thought that the Chinese army would attack Lu'an.

But Chief of Staff Nagano Youichiro was obviously not so optimistic, the expression on his face was gloomy like the weather in midwinter, "Anda-kun, don't you think there is something wrong with this? Could this be Tubalu's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain?"

"A plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain?" Anda 23 was stunned for two seconds, then shook his head and said, "No, no, Nagano-kun, the Jinzhai will be the first choice target of the Zhina army, and the Jinzhai is in the hands of the imperial army, even if the Zhina army takes it down." How much troops will they need to defend Lu'an? You know, Hefei is behind, and Jinzhai and Huoshan are in front. Even if a small group of troops from that army infiltrates to the rear, how can they face the three-way reinforcements of the imperial army? So, it's pretty unlikely."

Nagano Youichiro still did not give up, and said: "Anda-kun, the Zhina army is cunning and cunning. Once Xinyang is lost, our outer defense line has frequent loopholes. It is an ironclad proof that Tubalu can appear behind Jinzhai. Similarly, they may also come If we attack Lu'an, Hefei is completely empty in our rear, and if Lu'an falls in front, there will be chaos, and Jinzhai will not last long, and Huoshan has only one brigade in total, and the distant water cannot save the nearby fire."

Despite Nagano Youichiro's earnest words, Anda 23 remained unmoved. If he was alert at this time, he would urgently transfer back the 225th Regiment transferred to Jinzhai, and with the rapid maneuvering of the 225th Regiment, he would return to Sixth Formation in two or three hours. Ann may not be impossible. Although a regiment of the Eighth Route Army is blocking them, it is a unit after all. How long can the Eighth Route Army stop them?Perhaps the situation of the battle may change. It can be said that Anda 23 missed the only opportunity.

Although Anda 23 graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy and the Army University, and has received good military education, he only has theoretical knowledge and no actual combat experience. Although he has been in China for several years, he has been serving as a staff officer and chief of transportation in the Kwantung Army.Because of the large increase in Japanese troops last year, fifty divisions were sent to the Chinese battlefield at one time, which required a large number of division commanders. Anda 23, who was good at drilling camps, tried his best to get this position, but he did not expect that this position would be sent him to the guillotine.

An hour later, fierce gunshots suddenly sounded from the northeast of Lu'an, and the Eighth Route Army's offensive started as scheduled. Only then did Anda 23 panic and determined that the northeast direction was the main attack direction of the division-level unit. The Eighth Route Army's equipment is poor, even the main force is short of artillery firepower, and the suppressive firepower is seriously insufficient. There are not many light and heavy machine guns in a regiment, but Anda 23 ignores that the Eighth Route Army has just laid down the Japanese arsenal in Zhumadian. , although the long-distance raid did not carry heavy artillery fire, but light and heavy machine guns can bring a lot of people, so that the strength of a brigade is clearly seen by the Japanese army as a division.) Anda 23 urgently deployed troops from the front to reinforce the rear, and urgently ordered 225 The alliance returned immediately.

But it was too late. Fifteen minutes later, news came that the bunker at the bridgehead of the Pihe River had been bombed and the Eighth Route Army was frantically attacking from the front. Then the city of Lu'an was on fire, and the underground party that had already infiltrated the city began to create chaos.

The Eighth Route Army never fights uncertain battles. As early as when it entered the territory of Lu'an, all the forces in the rear had received the news of cooperating with the main force's attack, and sneaked into Lu'an City early in the morning. In addition, Mr. Lin A genius-level tactician also deserves the misfortune of Anda 23.

Immediately, the Japanese and puppet troops were completely confused and panicked.The No.30 Seventh Division of the Japanese Army was formed only last year. It belongs to the Type C division of the three-team system. The number of veterans is small, and most of them are recruits. In the main battle, they have basically never participated in any major battles. The soldiers' fighting will and quality are already poor, plus a commander who is not well-known. For a while, the chaos in Lu'an City is simply indescribable. Amidst the shouts of "The Eighth Route Army is coming in" in the city, they immediately threw away their weapons, took off their military uniforms and deserted.

Two hours later, all the Eighth Route Army poured into the city of Lu'an, and carried out the final campaign against the remaining enemies. The 225th Regiment of the Japanese Army was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army thirty miles away from Jinzhai, and suffered four to five hundred casualties. Price forcibly broke through the defense line of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

The most amazing thing is that Anda 30, the commander of the No.23 Seventh Division of the Japanese Army, did not escape in time when the city was broken. He was blocked in the city by the Eighth Route Army and became the first supreme commander captured by the Eighth Route Army. Ichiro was stubborn and committed suicide before being captured alive.

At the last moment, Anda 23 finally made a correct decision, allowing the 225th Regiment, which was only thirty or forty miles away from Lu'an, to quickly withdraw to Jinzhai and give up the rescue, thus saving the 225th Regiment, otherwise they would wait The 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army cleaned up the remaining Japanese troops in Lu'an, and then turned around and attacked the 225th Regiment of the Japanese Army back and forth. The 225th Regiment simply had no way out.

When the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army captured Lu'an, Huoshan, which was less than a hundred miles away from Lu'an, also suffered a fierce attack. The opponent was the second detachment of the New Fourth Army, and the commander was Mr. Su.

As early as more than ten days ago, Mr. Su led two thousand soldiers across the Yangtze River quietly, crossed the Dabie Mountains quietly, and made a long-distance raid to Huoshan Mountain. part of the

Huoshan, Jinzhai, and Lu'an are located in a triangular position. The distances between the three places are about the same. They are about forty or fifty highways. Ann traffic arteries.
