Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

As soon as Macheng was lost, Luotian and Yingshan had lost their flank protection, and it was meaningless to hold on. Then, Kinoshita Isamu also issued a retreat order to the No. 40 Division, ordering them to use the cover of night, and the troops rushed to Jinzhou at full speed. Close to the Jinzhai, build a line of defense around the Jinzhai, as the last stronghold.

By this time, the Japanese army plus the Imperial Association Army had nearly 40 troops in Jinzhai. In addition to the expats and obedient citizens evacuated from Wuhan, Jinzhai, a mountainous town, was already overcrowded. The Japanese army also retreated in, and the number will reach a terrifying [-]. Fortunately, the Japanese army took advantage of Jinzhai's unique geographical environment and set up three lines of defense on the periphery. , is enough for the Japanese army to drink a pot.

But gathering so many troops and personnel here is still not an option. Wartime is not conducive to the deployment of troops, and it is easy to cause congestion when retreating.Therefore, Kinoshita immediately decided to evacuate the non-combatants, drive them out of the city, and drive towards Lu'an.

Isamu Kinoshita still stubbornly believes that the No.11 Army can at least jump out of the battlefield. After all, there is only one division of the Eighth Route Army in Lu'an, and the defenders in the direction of Hefei have already assembled two regiments. Coupled with the independent mixed No.18 brigade, attacking the defenders of a division of the Eighth Route Army with a force close to that of a division, in Kinoshita's view, this is a battle without suspense.

But he never imagined that the New Fourth Army would set out from Wangjiang, go straight to the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains via Qianshan and Yuexi, and after nearly ten days of long-distance raids, it would have already entered Lu'an City at this moment, and the vanguard had even advanced towards Hefei. An ambush was set up along the road to deal with the reinforcements of the Japanese army. The Japanese troops of the two Hefei regiments that Isamu Kinoshita expected could not reach the outside of Lu'an City at all.

In the following time, the Japanese and puppet troops retreating from Wuhan rushed to Jinzhai City like a flood that burst a bank. Although Isamu Kinoshita had the foresight to drive the non-combatants out of the city, Jinzhai was only a small town in the mountains. It can't hold two 10,000+ troops, and nearly [-] rout troops poured in like a tide, which once squeezed the narrow city gates, and the Japanese and puppet troops crowded together on a road, like locusts, and There is no end in sight.

In the evening, this situation has not been alleviated, but suddenly there was the sound of guns and artillery, and the puppet army screamed in a panic that the national army had arrived, causing the defeated army to rush forward with all their strength, and the mountain road was rugged and steep. There are cliffs and cliffs everywhere, and there are not a few people who fell off the cliffs, and even more were directly pushed to the ground.

The Japanese army claims to be the strongest force in the willpower. Even if they retreat, they will never panic, and there will never be a rout, but there are exceptions to everything. They are troops made of sand, and they are best at escaping, howling and fleeing Ulala, which can make people with a little sense of fighting spirit lose their minds.

Fear is an infectious disease that is more terrifying than the plague. It is contagious. Once infected, no matter what army or soldier comes out, there will be no cure. Everyone is afraid of death. In the face of the desire to survive, Everyone is equal, and everyone is unwilling to be left behind.

It was this terrible "plague," which led to the complete defeat of the Japanese army, who fled desperately to Jinzhai.

The first to break through the Japanese army was the New Second Division of the No.40 Army. They fought against the Japanese army for several years. Yin Donglai, who never thought that the Japanese army would have this side, was really ecstatic at the moment and decisively ordered the soldiers to go all out. Charge, don't pay attention to any formation or tactics at all, pick up the AK47 and shoot at the enemy, the howling bullets mercilessly harvested the lives of the Japanese and puppet soldiers.

The soldiers who were determined to flee met the army that was charging with all their strength, and the result can be imagined. The soldiers of the second division of the new Japanese army were killed by the soldiers of the new second division. into a river.

Fortunately, the mountain road is narrow and steep, and tanks cannot drive up, otherwise the scene will be even more tragic.

Kinoshita Isao originally thought that Jinzhai was located in the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains and had a geographical advantage. The imperial army could resist for a while, at least to buy some time for the front troops to open the gate of Lu'an, but he never thought that the situation would become so bad all of a sudden. .

At this moment, he really became an ant on a hot pot, running around in a hurry, and Anan Weiji, who had already recovered his breath, was completely out of ideas at this moment.

After sending out several telegrams in succession, Anan Weiji and Kinoshita ordered the No.40 Division and the No.15 Mixed Brigade to prevent the National Army from going up the mountain no matter what, and block them at the foot of the Dabie Mountains, but the results they received were almost the same. The division commander could no longer find the brigade commander, the brigade commander could no longer find the regimental commander, and the regimental commander could not find his brigade commander either. The troops were completely dispersed and could not organize an effective defense at all.

Due to the critical situation, Anan Weiji and Isamu Kinoshita finally decided that Isamu Kinoshita would organize elite troops and personally lead the team to Lu'an for reinforcements. Only by opening the gate of Lu'an can the No.11 Army survive.

As for Jinzhai, Anan Weiji personally guarded it to clean up the mess.

But what Kinoshita did not expect was that before he reached the border of Lu'an, Anan Weiji's farewell message came from behind. The cannons bombarded and strafed in turn, and within half an hour, the defense force of Jinzhai collapsed. All the armies of the national army marched in unison, and entered the city in an instant.

Anan Weiji committed suicide by caesarean section after sending out the telegram, and the Japanese No. 11 Army was considered finished.

Kinoshita's face turned ashen immediately. Before that, he had learned that the New Fourth Army had entered Lu'an City. The No.18 independent mixed brigade in front could not open the gate of Lu'an at all. They had no hope of retreating.

Under such circumstances, Isamu Kinoshita decisively ordered the team to advance rapidly to the northeast and flee eastward along the Huai River.

It is also thanks to Kinoshita's vigilance, he did not hesitate at the critical moment, and led a brigade of more than a thousand people to run wildly day and night, which really allowed them to pass through the blockade line on the Huaihe River in the first theater, and successfully escaped to North China , but it will be half a month later.

At this point, the Battle of Wuhan is considered to be over. The entire No.11 Japanese Army in Wuhan, except for the third division, jumped out of the battlefield in its entirety. The .18 Independent Mixed Brigade, which was also chased after by the troops, was completely annihilated under the attack of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. Only a small number of remnants followed in the footsteps of Isamu Mushita, and fled northward along the Pi River. The Battle of Wuhan achieved unprecedented results. Great victory.
