"Oh, it's been cancelled." Zhang Tianhai scratched his head.
"That's it then. Your troops will be directly responsible to me and commanded as the temporary direct-controlled troops of the Corps!" Zhang Fakui was very generous and made the decision directly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Chief Zhang!" Zhang Tianhai was overjoyed and immediately stood up and saluted Zhang Fakui again.
"Okay, don't say anything anymore. Let's see if you can lead this army well now. I hope that as soon as you go to the battlefield, you can show me that murderous spirit and kill this fucking little Japanese armor. No one left!" Zhang Fakui walked up to Zhang Tianhai and patted the latter's shoulder.
"Yes, sir! I understand the humble position!" Zhang Tianhai responded.
…
When he walked out of Zhang Fakui's office, Zhang Tianhai breathed a sigh of relief: nothing more than feeling lucky to have escaped this time.
Jiujiang County will definitely be besieged by heavy Japanese troops. Just imagine, the entire Li Hanhun Corps cannot stop the Japanese attack, let alone their small reinforced regiment, which is not even enough for one division. !
It's true that Zhang Tianhai is not afraid of death, but he is definitely not cheap enough to want to die.
There are obviously benefits to following Zhang Fakui. Let’s not talk about anything else. Let’s just say that in combat operations, there are some opportunities to capture fighter planes at critical moments. If you can make good use of them, you can win a small victory. of.
…
While Commander-in-Chief Zhang Fakui was mobilizing the troops under the Second Corps to adjust the established strategy, the troops on the front line were already tightly entangled with the Japanese army.
In the day after day battles, the Cantonese troops suffered heavy casualties.
Even Li Hanguang, the commander of the Guangdong Army who always likes to lead his troops on the front line, was injured.
"Report to the commander, if we don't retreat, our troops will be wiped out!" A soldier ran to Li Hanhun and reported, probably meaning that if we don't retreat, our troops will be wiped out.
Considering that the troops had indeed suffered heavy losses, Li Hanhun also began to consider whether to continue the fight.
However, can things really come and go as he expected?
Not entirely so——
The camera turns to the Japanese army.
Junroku Matsuura is a disciple of General Hata Shunroku, the commander of the Central China Expeditionary Force. Although he is arrogant, he should have some real abilities.
Standing on the hillside, Matsuura Junrokuro's narrow eyes were staring at the opposite hillside. He was holding a pair of binoculars in his hands, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
On the opposite hillside, the battle between the Chinese army and the Japanese army was gradually becoming more intense.
But it is obvious that the Japanese troops are gradually gaining the upper hand in the battle. The Chinese army has suffered heavy casualties and can hardly hold on.
"Now, the China Army's offensive seems to be weaker. It's time for our army to launch a fierce counterattack." With that, Matsuura Junrokuro put down the telescope in his hand and said to the combat staff beside him, Ozawa.
"Hai!" Japanese Army Staff Officer Ozawa responded.
At the order of Matsuura Junrokuro, these wolf-like Japanese troops pounced on the national troops like hungry wolves.
The combat effectiveness of the Cantonese army was not as good as that of the Japanese army. In addition, a group of Japanese troops who were like a new force joined the battle group, so that the Cantonese army, which was already at the end of its struggle, finally collapsed.
"Damn! It's just that close!" Li Hanhun took off the military cap on his head and threw it on the ground. His expression was very much like Zhang Da Miao in Bright Sword...
Cough cough cough…
However, Li Hanhun looks much more polite and handsome than Zhang Damiao...
"Legion Commander, what should we do now? The frontline troops can no longer hold on. Even your brother Li Hanguang, Commander Li, has been injured." Li Hanhun's chief of staff asked him for instructions.
"Retreat! Withdraw to Hukou Town!" Li Hanhun said fiercely, "Also, order the 187th Division stationed in Hukou Town to immediately step up their defenses and guard against the Japanese troops following from the front line!"
In fact, the time has come and Li Hanhun has no choice. After all, the current situation is so cruel.
The enemy is strong and I am weak. It can be said that time is not waiting for me!
No matter from which aspect, the national army is at a disadvantage, and they cannot have the final say in many things.
The 155th Division, the main force of Li Hanhun's 29th Army, has lost more than half. Even Li Hanhun's brother Li Hanguang was injured by the Japanese army. Li Hanhun may not be able to fight in the next war. Defending Hukou Town.
Compared with the 155th Division, an established force, the 187th Division can be said to be a force that is "newer than ever".
The soldiers were new and the quality of the officers could not keep up. Even if Li Hanhun had appointed his capable generals as the division commander and deputy division commander, he still could not change this predicament.
It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice...
Sure enough, just as Li Hanhun expected, after the Japanese army saw the Cantonese army retreating, they immediately sent a force of more than 2,000 people to follow up, aiming to annihilate the Cantonese army on the way to Hukou Town. Or take the opportunity to occupy Hukou Town!
The rapid action of the Japanese army was expected.
Whether it is the quality of officers, the quality of soldiers, or equipment, the national army cannot compare with the Japanese army.
Let’s not talk about things like radio stations, but things like flag language can direct the Japanese army in the melee to quickly launch a counterattack against the national army.
The Cantonese army retreated all the way, and the Japanese elite troops followed behind. Soon they followed the route and reached Hukou Town.
Hukou Town, a quiet but murderous town, suddenly fell into the flames of war.
The infantry went up and the artillery bombarded them, and the artillery bombarded the infantrymen.
This is an old trick of the Japanese army.
Although this Japanese pursuit force did not carry a large number of artillery, the mortars and the not-so-large 92 Infantry Cannon they carried could be used as their "artillery firepower."
Soon, under the command of their commander, this Japanese army composed of more than 2,000 Kyushu steel workers launched a frantic attack on Hukou Town.
The newly established 187th Division of the Guangdong Army suddenly fell into a bitter battle.
"Fight! These little devils also have two shoulders to carry one head! Kill them to death first! Lose the old wood!!!"
The grassroots officers of the Guangdong Army were shouting, hoping to mobilize the morale of the soldiers and launch a desperate resistance against these little devils!
"Our troops cannot be broken up!"
Screams filled the battlefield filled with smoke.
There were shouts of killing and gunshots.
Kong Kequan, deputy commander of the 187th Division, stood in a hidden fortification and looked at the scene in front of him worriedly. He was afraid that his troops would not be able to hold on anymore and would be dispersed by the Japanese army!
Even the brows on his Chinese-character face were almost wrinkled into the image of the Chinese character "Chuan".
As a frontline commander, commanding such a force is not stressful, but it is impossible!
If his troops were strong and well-equipped, he would have ordered the troops to launch a counterattack!
…
PS: Just to make up for last night’s update.
Sigh, I owe more and more, it’s so difficult.
