The cause of Naoji Sakai's death became a joke, and the national army squad leader was awakened by urine and wanted his life
On December 7, 1941, Japanese aircraft carrier-based aircraft and mini-submarines sneaked up on the U.S. air base at Pearl Harbor, greatly damaging the U.S. military forces in the Pacific, and the Americans were furious and declared war on Japan. At this point, the Pacific War broke out!
At that time, in order to strike more effectively at the Japanese military forces, our Chinese allies built a large-scale air base in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, in order to take turns bombing the air bases built by the Japanese army in the coastal areas of the Japanese mainland and the Asian continent! After this large base in Zhejiang was just built, the US military, which had a deep hatred with Japan, dropped B25 bombers into the battle, and the first bombing was directed at Tokyo, Japan! This bombing of Tokyo, the Japanese bombed into anger, in a very short period of time gathered tens of thousands of troops to counterattack, all the way to Quzhou, Zhejiang, wanting to destroy the Allied air base in one fell swoop, so the Battle of Zhejiang Gansu began!
In order to preserve the air base and effectively block the Japanese army, the 63rd Division of the 88th Army of the National Revolutionary Army was ordered to participate in the battle in full force. After receiving the order to block the attack, the 63rd Division built fortifications in the Lanxi area of Zhejiang Province and held this position! In mid-May of 1942, the Japanese army set out from Fuyang and Zhuji in two ways to attack Tonglu and Yiwu. There are not many genuine troops in Yiwu area, most of them are local armed forces, and the weapons used are mostly earthen guns and guns, even if the belief is heavy, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Japanese army with advanced weapons, so the Yiwu area was soon lost!
At that time, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army was Lieutenant General Naoji Sakai, the commander of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army, who was also the acting commander of the Japanese army at that time, and several Japanese armies attacking Jinhua and other areas were under his full command. Today, the Japanese general who died very stubbornly is this Lieutenant General Naoji Sakai!
While Naoji Sakai commanded the Japanese forces in the rear, his own subordinate unit, the Japanese 15th Division, was severely damaged by the National Revolutionary Army. The 63rd Division, ordered to hold on to the Lanxi area, desperately blocked the Japanese army, and the Japanese they faced head-on was the 15th Division of Sakai Naoji. The Japanese 15th Army attacked Lanxi like crazy, and after three days and nights of fierce fighting, it failed to take the Lanxi position, as the commander-in-chief of this campaign, Naoji Sakai, was very angry, and the other corps were still good to say that his direct subordinate units had made no progress in attacking so hard for three days and nights, which made him feel very humiliated, and he had no face in front of the generals in the command post, so he gave up his command and personally rushed to the Lanxi battlefield to direct the battle!
After Sakai rushed to Lanxi, he used his authority to mobilize more than 20 bombers to bomb the lanxi forward position, and artillery of various calibers carried out a carpet bombardment attack on the front of the position. The front of the Nationalist position was suddenly in a sea of fire, and a large number of Japanese infantry carried wooden ladders across the front trenches and fiercely pounced on the Lanxi base. The whole regiment of the 187th Regiment of the 63rd Division, which was holding its position here, whether it was infantry, cavalry, logistics, or men, all went into battle with the Japanese army to launch a white-knife battle, and at the Lanxi position, the battle between the enemy and us was extremely fierce!
A few miles outside Lanxi City, there is a highland called Shikuo Mountain, where the highland is bare and there is no shelter, but climbing the high place can overlook the entire Lanxi City, if the Japanese army uses the night to sneak attack, it is extremely dangerous for the Lanxi garrison. Han Zhengli, the commander of the second battalion of the 189th Regiment, was a shrewd man, he did not use a large number of troops, but only sent a squad of more than a dozen people to ambush the mountain path, always observing whether the Japanese army had moved up the mountain, as long as the gunfire sounded on this side, there must be a lot of fire support here, and distributed a few mines to let them plant on the only way up the mountain, so that even at night, there was no need to deliberately be on duty, and the whole class of soldiers could get a full rest!
After receiving the order, Huang Shiwei, the leader of the mountain guarding squad, immediately gave pre-war propaganda to the entire squad of soldiers, and after receiving five mines, he rushed to the foot of Shikuo Mountain that night! When the Japanese army attacked Tonglu and Yiwu, it bombed the stations along the Zhejiang-Gansu Railway, at that time there was a train left at the Yiwu Railway Station, a whole thousand mines were on top of this train, when the Japanese army attacked Yiwu, the local government urgently transferred the train to the Jinlan Railway Branch Line, the train just turned away, The Yiwu Station was blown up, the whole car more than a thousand mines were lucky to be preserved, and later this batch of mines was filled into the armament of the 63rd Division, so the armament mines of the regiments and battalions of the 63rd Division were relatively sufficient! After Huang Shiwei led ten soldiers and 5 mines to the foot of Mount Shikuo, he buried the mine on the path near a mass grave at the foot of the mountain according to the instructions of the battalion commander Han Zhengli, and then ordered the whole class of soldiers to sleep in the mass grave!
Early the next morning, Huang Shiwei woke up from his sleep with a stirring spirit, and he really couldn't sleep when he was soaking up the urine, so he got up and climbed up a small mound nearby, and when he was preparing to pee, he squinted his eyes and vaguely saw several Japanese cavalry approaching the mass grave, Huang Shiwei was afraid of being found and quickly crouched on the mound, the sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the ground was getting closer and closer, Huang Shiwei leaned down and ran down the mound, came to the mass grave to wake up the sleeping soldiers one by one, while kicking back and suppressing the voice and saying, "Hurry up, the devils are coming!" ”。 As soon as the warriors heard that the devil was coming, they quickly turned over and crouched down in place, pulling open the bolts of their guns and preparing for battle.
Huang Shiwei was lying on the ground and looking in the direction of the devils, and saw several Japanese soldiers riding horses to this side, and the leader could clearly see a telescope with white gloves in his hand. Huang Shiwei looked at it, this is definitely not an ordinary ghost, with a saber hanging from his waist, it must be a Japanese general, so when he let them walk into a distance of about ten meters, Huang Shiwei ordered them to open fire. A row of bullets swept through, killing several people on the spot, and other Japanese officers fled from the path on horseback, but they entered the minefield that Huang Shiwei and others had already buried, and for a while there was thunder everywhere, and many military horses and Japanese troops were blurred with blood and flesh. The fourth company of the second battalion of the Nationalist army was nearby, and after hearing the sound of gunshots and explosions, they rushed to support, and when they arrived here, they did not say that setting up machine guns was strafing, and the remaining personnel of the Japanese army did not dare to fight, and rescued the wounded and ran away on horseback!
This small group of Japanese troops was Naoji Sakai and his aide-de-camp staff officers. Everyone may wonder how such a large commander-in-chief could appear here without directing the battle behind the army? Naoji Sakai is too conceited. On that day, the Japanese army was still attacking Lanxi, and was pressing forward step by step, and Sakai Naoji came to a place with a huabiao stone pillar near The Contour Mountain, took a telescope to observe the situation on the front line and commanded the battle. Since the Japanese army was in front, Sakai Naoji believed that there were no defenders in this area, and he found that the highlands of Shikuro Mountain could overlook the lanxi battle situation and the distribution of the nationalist army, which was more conducive to directing the battle. So he led the lieutenants and staff officers to decide to climb the mountain, he did not choose the main road advanced by the Japanese army, but conceited that there would be no more enemy ambushes in this area, leading the lieutenants and staff officers to climb the mountain from the path on this side of the mass grave, so that they could get a faster overview of the Lanxi battlefield! However, they never expected that their conceited march was discovered by Huang Shiwei, who was awakened by a soak of urine, so the battle described above occurred!
Naoji Sakai entered the minefield when he escaped on horseback, the war horse was overturned by the air waves, Naoji Sakai fell off the horse, when he landed, his left foot stepped on a mine, Sakai's left foot to his thigh was shattered by the mine, the blood and flesh were blurred, and when the four companies arrived, Naoji Sakai was rescued by his peers and fled! However, due to the serious injuries, he was declared dead at 14:13 on the same day after rescue was ineffective!
Naoji Sakai was the commander-in-chief of the battle here, and the morale of the Japanese army was bound to be shaken after the death of Sakai, so the Japanese general did not directly disclose it after Sakai's death, but secretly held a memorial service for Sakai in the West Lake Villa. Unexpectedly, Our intelligence personnel had already infiltrated the memorial service venue, secretly photographed Naoji Sakai's portrait and the officer's condolence scene, and soon released Sakai's death and photos to the public afterwards. For a time, Naoji Sakai's dead people knew everything, and tickled the teeth of the Japanese military's high-level qi, but the matter was helpless!
The ambush battle here, because the squad leader Huang Shiwei held a bubble of urine and made a great contribution, not only caused the Japanese command system to be severely damaged, but also killed the supreme commander of the Zhejiang Gan Campaign. Sakai Naoji's crime is extremely evil, and he can be considered to have more than enough to die, but this method of death can be regarded as the most depressed division commander in the history of the Japanese army, if he let him know that he was killed because a small squad leader was awakened by urine, he would definitely be angry!
