"Huh? Go back to supervise the battle? What's the point of supervising the battle? It's enough to have my two regiment commanders there to direct the battle. Now is the opportunity to learn a new way of commanding the battle from Commander Zhang. How can we do it at this time? What about going back? Aren't you missing out by going back?" Xu Jiyuan laughed and said, no matter how you say it, he is also an old man - whether it is a scene or not, these words must be said.
"You're welcome, Brigadier Xu." Zhang Tianhai's face was serious, and then he continued: "Jiujiang is the rear connection point of the Japanese Songpu Division. If Jiujiang falls into the hands of our army, their way back will be cut off. So. , we are besieging Jiujiang now, and the Japanese army will definitely send key troops for rescue. We must be prepared!"
"Captain Zhang, let's not talk about anything else. Our two units combined are equivalent to a division. Moreover, it is a division with artillery battalions and cavalry battalions. Even if they come, we can still carry them. My son." Xu Jiyuan's face was full of calm.
"Don't underestimate the enemy. Our enemy is any unit of the entire Japanese Eleventh Army. If they send a division of troops to come to rescue, given our strength, we will definitely not be able to withstand it." Zhang Tianhai sighed.
"There's no need to worry. The Japanese army can't send a division of troops to come to the rescue. It's just a brigade against the sky." Xu Jiyuan said with confidence.
"It seems that Chief Xu has some research on the Japanese army. Zhang is willing to hear the details." Zhang Tianhai said with a smile.
"Captain Zhang, there is no need to wear such a high hat. After all, you and I are both revolutionary soldiers who came to fight against Japan." Xu Jiyuan waved his hand and said, "The Japanese army does not have enough troops on the front line. If they can send a division If the troops come to seize a small county, what level must their troops reach? If they really have this kind of strength, they can just attack Wuhan directly. Why go around and fight?"
"It seems that the heroes have the same idea. The Japanese army will indeed not send so many troops. I am afraid that the Japanese 106th Division will also turn back. If the two parts of them combine to annihilate our two brigades, that is not Is it something that can be easily captured?" Zhang Tianhai did not blindly seek to boost others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige, he was just analyzing the problem objectively.
"What Captain Zhang said makes sense, so what should be the next step in the deployment?" As he said that, Xu Jiyuan's eyes looked at Zhang Tianhai. He wanted to know what good tricks this young Huangpu officer had.
In Xu Jiyuan's view, Zhang Tianhai became the leader of this reinforced regiment at a young age and achieved such a great reputation on the front line. This was by no means an unearned reputation.
Zhang Tianhai organized his words a little, and then continued: "We don't need to worry about this matter. Directly to the west of us, there must be Zhang Fakui and Commander Zhang's troops watching for us, and to the east, my cavalry battalion It has been arranged nearby. As soon as there is news, we will just adapt accordingly."
After hearing this, Xu Jiyuan nodded gently and said, "Okay. Just do what you said, Captain Zhang. Your idea is very good and makes sense."
Zhang Tianhai glanced at the watch on his wrist, and then said: "Brigadier Xu, according to the agreed attack time, your troops are ready to attack, right?"
"There's still half an hour left. I believe Commander Zhang's troops are ready, right?" Xu Jiyuan said with a smile, his smile full of playfulness.
"You still can't hide it from Brigadier Xu's discerning eyes. Your Yue and Guangdong troops are launching attacks in the west and north. If I don't make any noise from the east and south, it will definitely arouse suspicion, and it will not be able to press the enemy at all. The effect of the garrison in the city. Therefore, my troops will also launch corresponding containment." Zhang Tianhai's face was also full of smiles, but his face was full of confidence.
"As expected of the Chairman's protégé, our brigade will obey your command in this battle. I hope Commander Zhang will not disappoint me." Xu Jiyuan laughed and said, now that the matter is over, in addition to continuing the fight, we can also Is there any other better way?
"Don't worry! This battle will be fought beautifully and it will definitely not disgrace the reputation of your Guangdong Army and the face of our Central Army." Zhang Tianhai smiled softly.
…
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. According to the attack time agreed in advance, this was the time to launch the attack.
At this time, the sky had cleared up, and the trenches were already filled with troops about to launch an attack. It looked like there were definitely a lot of people.
However, the troop mobilization of the national army did not hide it from the eyes of the Japanese army.
Twenty minutes ago, Tanaka Yijun, who had received reports of troop movements in the west and north, climbed onto the city wall to observe the enemy's situation.
"It seems that the Chinese army is well prepared this time. I don't know if we can defend the city of Jiujiang this time." Tanaka Yijun said worriedly.
Indeed, for the Japanese troops defending the city, they only had more than 600 troops. Excluding the command staff, each of the four city gates in the east, west, south and north could only be assigned 150 people.
It's no wonder that Tanaka Yijun is a little less confident: his strength no longer allows him to pretend to be confident.
"Captain, the enemy will launch a general attack soon. I don't know if our reinforcements are ready." The combat staff next to him sighed.
"Let's just hold on as much as possible. After all, our reinforcements are not weak. Our reinforcements are from the 101st Division." Tanaka Yijun's brows were still deeply furrowed.
"The 101st Division? Isn't it the 101st Regiment of the 'Military God' Colonel Iizuka Kunigoro?" The Japanese staff officer seemed to light up.
"Yes, that's right. It's the 101st Regiment of Colonel Iizuka Kunigoro. Theoretically, we can be saved. But the premise is that we must hold on until their reinforcements arrive!" Tanaka Yijun looked heavy.
"I understand my humble position." The Japanese combat staff lowered his head and responded.
…
The camera turned back to the Cantonese troops outside the city.
"Commander, why do we invest so many troops to launch a fierce attack for the first time? According to the brigade commander's order, we have to play a protracted war with these little Japanese, and we cannot capture their side." Huang Qisan Chief of Staff Liao Penghui said.
"That's why we launch a fierce attack! If we don't fight hard, the enemy will doubt our combat intentions. Only if we give them a hard blow will they know they are afraid and will desperately seek help. And if our attack is repelled, they will be even more convinced that they can defend this place with their own strength." Huang Qisan had an imperceptible smile on his face, because they were all Cantonese and there were no others around them. people, so they simply communicated in Cantonese.
"No wonder you can become the leader of the group, you are so alert. But you are much better than many people." Liao Penghui praised.
"Stop selling melons to Huang Po. Order the troops to attack!" Huang Qisan said with a smile, but his tone was extremely serious.
