Chapter 466 Target: The Japanese 40th Division

466 Target: Japanese 40th Division

At this time, on the mountains outside Jiyang City, Black Bear's special operations battalion had already infiltrated here.

Compared to the other National Army units behind, Black Bear's special operations battalion is undoubtedly the fastest.

After all, in terms of troop quality, there is already a gap between the soldiers of the special operations battalion and the soldiers of this era.

At the same time, it was also because the black bear had already understood Ye Qingshan’s intention.

They took a small path in advance and got behind the enemy.

He has been lurking in the mountains and forests, waiting for Ye Qingshan's final counterattack to begin.

"Some of the Japanese soldiers in Jiyang City have already broken out to the north.

It should be the Japanese 40th Division, sent to open the pass blocked by the 208th Division in the northern mountainous area."

Zhao Dongsheng stood next to the black bear, analyzing the situation in Jiyang.

Zhao Dongsheng's reconnaissance battalion was also incorporated into Black Bear's special operations battalion at this time, and Zhao Dongsheng became Black Bear's deputy.

After all, Black Bear’s special operations battalion is elite.

The problem is that the number is still too small.

Ye Qingshan was worried that it would be too dangerous for them to infiltrate the enemy's rear this time and face tens of thousands of Japanese troops around them.

So, Zhao Dongsheng's reconnaissance battalion was also merged into it.

Zhao Dongsheng’s reconnaissance battalion is also a spearhead battalion, and its strength is also quite strong.

"Captain, how do we fight?"

Zhao Dongsheng asked Black Bear for his opinion.

"Hey, what else can we do? The Japs are only trying to escape northward.

Because that is their only way out.

Then we can't let the devils get what they want.

Set up an ambush here, kill them and leave."

Black Bear pointed to a place called Zhujiashan in the north of Jiyang City and said with a smile.

"Tell the brothers that the main purpose of this battle is to kill the enemy's manpower.

We don't seek to stop or completely annihilate the Japanese.

There are too many Japs, and our entire battalion cannot handle them all.

The battle lasted only half an hour, and then we withdrew."

"go!"

Jiyang was previously the logistics base of the 40th Division of the Japanese invaders, and at this time it also became the place where the largest number of Japanese invaders gathered.

Then, Naojiro Amatani of the 40th Division of the Japanese army issued the order to break out to the north.

The Japanese troops that had previously fought on the southern front retreated to Jiyang one after another.

Here, the Japanese soldiers of the 40th Division will complete their last supply, which is also their only supply.

Then they would break out to the north.

As for whether the Japanese 12th Mixed Brigade and the remaining troops of the 39th Division in other directions can arrive in Jiyang for final replenishment.

It depends on their luck.

Naojiro Amatani couldn't care less. After all, the direction of attack of these two Japanese troops was different from that of the 40th Division.

Naojiro Amaya was also very clear how unfavorable the situation on the front line was for them at this time.

His next major task was to bring back as many soldiers as possible from his 40th Division.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

At this time, Naojiro Amatani even hoped that Ye Qingshan would focus his main energy on the 39th Mixed Brigade and the two regiments of the th Division.

In this way, they can cover the 40th Division's breakout better.

Da da da!

On the morning of the 8th, at the Zhujiashan position.

Here, Black Bear's special operations battalion ambushed a retreating Japanese army, and the sound of fierce gunfire echoed for a long time.

"Time's up, retreat!"

Seeing that the ambush had achieved its effect, Black Bear immediately led the special operations battalion to retreat.

A large number of Japanese soldiers had surrounded them.

The battle has just begun, and the main purpose of their special operations battalion is to kill and injure the enemy's active forces.

We must also try our best to slow down the Japanese's speed of breaking out to the north.

On the one hand, it relieved the pressure of the blockade by the 208th Division in the north, and on the other hand, it bought time for the 209th Division and 76th Division that were pursuing behind.

So, they can't be trapped in one place by the Japanese.

In this way, the Japanese actually took advantage.

The special operations battalion’s fighting style is mobile and flexible.

At the same time, Zhang Fa's 209th Division was rushing towards Jiyang City at the fastest speed.

Behind them, the Japanese 25th and 73rd Armies blocked some of the Japanese troops and fought for several days.

Make their pursuit speed too slow.

This has always been a common problem of the national army.

That is, when chasing the Japanese, they were timid, fearing that they would be counterattacked by the Japanese.

Even faced with such a huge advantage this time, the senior generals and grassroots officers of the 25th and 73rd Armies did not get rid of this problem.

Also, they haven't carried out this kind of pursuit combat mission for a long time.

Very uncomfortable.

Therefore, Ye Qingshan never placed his hopes on the 25th Army and the 73rd Army for this counterattack and pursuit.

These two reinforcements were transferred from Fujian Province by Ye Qingshan.

Their main combat mission has now been completed.

Next, the goal was to pursue the fleeing Japanese army and kill as many of the Japanese 40th Division's manpower as possible.

The 209th Division is still well organized.

However, at this time, the 209th Division was also divided into two parts.

In addition, at this time, the main force of the 209th Division led by Zhang Fa himself attacked Jiyang City.

Lu Dahai's first battalion and the engineering battalion were sent by Zhang Fa to Shengzhou to cooperate with the 23rd Army Group there to pursue the Japanese 21st Division which was also retreating.

As for Lin Fengtian's 76th Division, it did not move with Zhang Fa and his men to Jiyang.

Because Lin Fengtian has set his sights on the Japanese 12th Mixed Brigade.

According to the intelligence of the Military Control Commission, the puppet army led by the traitor Zuo Anhe is now following the enemy's 12th Mixed Brigade.

Lin Fengtian went to seek revenge on this traitor.

As the 209th Division was marching, there were constant sounds of gunfire coming from the front.

"Commander, the Second Regiment has discovered a small group of Japanese troops on the left wing and has sent a battalion to deal with them."

"Reporting to the division commander, a group of fleeing Japanese soldiers appeared in the direction of Yangxia Village in the east..."

Along the way, Zhang Fa kept receiving reports from his subordinates about the intelligence that small groups of defeated Japanese soldiers were discovered nearby.

The rules were very clear. These small groups of defeated Japanese soldiers were all Japanese who were dispersed in the battle.

They were trying to find a way to return to Jiyang to join up with the main force of the Japanese 40th Division.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Fa could only send out small groups of soldiers to deal with these small groups of defeated Japanese soldiers.

First, tie them up and prevent these defeated Japanese soldiers from joining the main force of the Japanese 40th Division.

Later, the 25th Army slowly caught up.

These small groups of defeated Japanese soldiers are almost certain to die.

In Zhang Fa's eyes, there was always only one target, and that was the main force of the Japanese 40th Division.

This is the biggest piece of fat in their counterattack this time.

At 209 p.m. on the th, Zhang Fa's th Division arrived in Jiyang.

At this time, the main force of the Japanese 40th Division had not yet completely withdrawn.

"Baga, the main force of the Chinese army is catching up so quickly?"

When Naojiro Amatani received news that an elite National Army force of at least eight or nine thousand men appeared in the south of the city, he was also frightened.

The 209th Division arrived much faster than he expected.

After all, this time they came here to take revenge, and the soldiers of the 209th Division were furious.

If they arrived too late and let the Japanese 40th Division escape, they would regret it to death.
