Chapter 452 Yang Jing's escape route
After the order was conveyed, several corps commanders of the 6th Division and the 13th Division were as if they were amnesty and immediately abandoned the camp and retreated to the rear.
During the day, although the Japanese army was not long in advance, they were familiar with the nearby terrain.
Soon, he seized a favorable position and began to take advantage of the danger.
Yang Jing instructed each battalion to shoot a feint, launch a fierce attack, and immediately turned around and headed south.
Chasing the baggage camp has gone.
...
Nothing happened overnight.
Although Okamura Yasuji, Fujiwara Takeshi and others were a little confused, they did not think too much.
It was not until 10 a.m. the next day that the Japanese reconnaissance plane found traces of the Tiger Ben over Huangmei County, and Take Fujiwara and others realized that the situation was wrong.
Inside the command of the 10th Japanese Army.
Okamura Yanji pointed to the map and said in a deep voice: "Baga! Last night, at 12 o'clock, the Chinese army's Tiger Ben Regiment was in Yuexi, less than 10 hours. How could they appear in Huangmei County, 100 kilometers away?
When marching at night, even our great Japanese Imperial Army would not be able to have such speed!
This is simply ridiculous!
Suspicion of soldiers must be Yang Jing’s suspicion of soldiers in the old place. The purpose is to lure the imperial army to advance to Huangmei County!”
Fujiwara Takedo: "Commander, according to the news from the 1st Imperial Air Flight Regiment, the Chinese Army Tiger Ben has hundreds of cargo vehicles.
In addition, there are a large number of horses and carriages.
If this is true, it seems that it is not impossible for the Chinese Army Tiger Ben Group to march 100 kilometers in a 10-hour 10-hour marches!"
After pausing, Take Fujiwara said again: "Fortunately, after the Imperial Army Air 1 Flight Regiment discovered the traces of the Chinese Army's Tiger Ben regiment, the entire army immediately dispatched.
After several rounds of air strikes, the Chinese Army's Tiger Ben has been successfully trapped in the forest area of the southwest mountainous area of Huangmei County!
In addition, the Imperial Army's actions today were not attacked by the Chinese Army's Tiger Regiment as yesterday.
In this way, it seems that the information from the 1st Flight Regiment of the Imperial Army Air is also confirmed from the other side."
Okamura Yasuji fell into deep thoughts, but he still felt something was wrong.
At this moment, a communications adjutant suddenly rushed in from outside and reported to Okamura Yasuji: "Report! Commander, the 13th Imperial Infantry Regiment was attacked by a small group of Chinese troops while advancing towards Leijiadian!
However, according to Colonel Izo Shaoro's report, although these small troops of the Chinese army were wearing the military uniforms of the Tiger Regiment, the combat effectiveness they showed was very low.
Moreover, the weapons and equipment they used were not formal rifles in the standard equipment of the Chinese Army Tiger Ben Regiment, but the Imperial Army standard equipment Type 38 rifles.
So, Colonel Izo Shaoro thinks there may be something strange about this!"
After saying that, the communications adjutant leaned slightly and respectfully handed the telegram in his hand to Okamura Yasuji.
Okamura Yasuji read the telegram briefly and frowned and said, "Baga, where is the Chinese Army Tiger Ben Group playing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another communications adjutant came hurried with a telegram, with similar contents.
The only difference is that the identity of the generator is different from the location.
Fujiwara Takeru, who had been pondering for a long time, seemed to have thought of something and said, "Commander, I think I should know Yang Jing's conspiracy!"
"Oh?" Okamura Yasuji said happily, "Fujiwara, please tell me!"
Fujiwara Budo: "Commander, through previous battle examples, we can be sure that the Chinese army's Tiger Ben almost never uses the weapons and equipment of the Imperial Army!"
Okamura Yanji nodded, then shook his head again: "But, besides the Chinese army Tiger Ben, are there any other Chinese army in Yuexi?"
After saying that, Okamura Yanji suddenly remembered something and continued: "Kun Fujiwara, do you mean that these Chinese troops are the independent regiment of the New Fourth Army?"
The New Fourth Army Independent Regiment's sense of existence is too low, and Okamura Yasuji never even regarded it as a threat or an opponent.
So much so that when facing the problem of the Tiger Ben Group, he subconsciously ignored it.
"Not bad!" Fujiwara Takeshi said with a key point: "Imagine if Leijiadian and Taojiahe Chinese army were independent regiments of the New Fourth Army, then all this seems to make sense.
First, after the New Fourth Army Independent Regiment was rescued from Luoxialing by the Huben Regiment, it is very likely that he would follow him back to Yuexi.
Furthermore, with the conditions of the New Fourth Army Independent Regiment, after possessing advanced weapons of the Imperial Army, they will inevitably equip themselves immediately.
And the low combat power they showed further confirms this!"
"Suga!" Okamura Yasuji nodded in agreement with Take Fujiwara's speculation, but said with some concern: "Fujiwara Jun, this Yang Jing is extremely cunning and cannot speculate on his thoughts based on common sense.
So, if all this was deliberately created by him, wouldn’t we bet our army south and give up the search and suppression of Yuexi be just right?”
"Report!" As soon as Okamura Yanji finished speaking, another Japanese communications officer suddenly rushed in: "Hefei Aviation 1st Flight Regiment was urgently sent. General Moriko, the Central Plains, said that the Chinese army dispatched a large number of aviation troops and has now flew over Huangmei County and launched a fierce air battle with the Aviation 1st Flight Regiment.
Since the 1st Aviation Flight Regiment suffered heavy losses in the last air battle with the Huben Regiment, with the combat effectiveness of the 1st Aviation Flight Regiment alone, although the aviation force of the Chinese army could defeat the Chinese army's aviation force, it was difficult for him to continue to hinder the escape of the Huben Regiment of the Chinese army.
Therefore, I ask the Commander to provide tactical guidance immediately!"
It is worth mentioning that the Japanese army's hierarchy system is very strict, because the 1st Air Flight Regiment is temporarily classified as the combat sequence of the 10th Army.
Therefore, when encountering problems, Sheng Xiao of Zhongyuan could no longer report directly to the Jinling Japanese Central China Front Command like before.
"Nani? The Chinese army dispatched air force again?" After hearing this, Okamura Yanji's previous position began to shake.
Fujiwara Takedo: "Since this is the case, is it possible to prove that the Chinese army that appeared in Huangmei County is the main force of the Tiger Ben Group?"
After pausing, Take Fujiwara stepped to the wall, picked up a baton, pointed to the map, and continued: "Sir, you see, whether it is east of Yuexi or north of Yuexi, it is the leaping area of the Imperial Army occupied area, and it also has to face the interception of the Imperial Army's 27th Division.
If the Chinese Army Tiger Ben Group breaks out in these two directions, it will only accelerate their demise!
Therefore, if the Chinese Army Tiger Ben Regiment wanted to return to Hunan, he could only go west or break south.
Among them, there are the 6th Division and the 13th Division west of Yuexi, and there is the Yangtze River natural danger to the south. The possibility of the Chinese Army's Tiger Ben's regiment breaking out from these two directions is very slim.
Only a crack is left in the southwest direction.
Just imagine, if it weren't for the 1st Air Flight Corps that increased the search area and found the Chinese Army Tiger Ben in Huangmei County.
So are we still in the dark?
By then, when we react, the Hu Ben regiment may have already been able to meet with the 9th War Zone of the Chinese Army, successfully crossing the Yangtze River and returning to Hunan!”
