So, just like that, except for the newly established fifth battalion and the logistics battalion of the first regiment of the Ninth Theater Guards, which were not mobilized, all other combat troops have been mobilized out of Lushan to prepare for the Japanese reinforcements. Fight to the death!
…
The camera pans back to the area around Jiujiang County.
As the national army reached a consensus, the Central Army began to exchange positions with the Guangdong Army. At the same time, the Guangdong Army also began to organize death squads to launch a general attack on the West Gate and the North Gate.
For a moment, the sound of gunfire rumbled. When the police regiment evacuated the Jiujiang position, it did not just withdraw without support. At least the artillery battalion showed off its power, and the west wall was crumbling.
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
Two artillery shells accurately bombarded the west wall of Jiujiang County. A burst of dust suddenly exploded, and there was smoke everywhere, which looked very scary.
Even the city walls were shaking.
Originally, the 75mm caliber artillery shells were not supposed to be so powerful. In fact, it was mainly related to the fact that Jiujiang County had been bombed by Japanese artillery fire before, and there was no time to repair it!
"Lieutenant Colonel! Lieutenant Colonel! It's not good! It's not good! The Chinese Army has begun to launch an all-out attack!!" A Japanese soldier ran into the headquarters in a panic and reported to Tanaka Yijun.
At this time, Tanaka Yijun's face was no longer as graceful and calm as before. His eyes were bloodshot, like a wounded beast.
"The China Army has deceived people too much. Now withdraw some of the troops from the east gate and south gate! The enemy troops there have not launched a fierce attack yet, and we can't worry about that much." Tanaka Yijun sighed, because of the strength of the troops Due to the extreme lack of food, he was in such a state that he could only care about his head and body...
"Hai!" the combat staff officer next to him said.
After giving this order, Tanaka Yijun began to take off his military cap and picked up the scarf with red dog skin plaster on the table, which read "Long live the military fortune, long live the dog king".
Slowly tying his turban, Tanaka Yijun picked up the samurai sword on the table and said in a deep voice: "Order the troops to retreat into the city once the city is breached and prepare for street fighting!"
Tanaka Yijun's words were not only spoken to the combat staff, but also to all Japanese officers and soldiers in the command headquarters.
"Hai!!" The Japanese soldiers in the Japanese command post responded in unison, with a hint of a fight to the death.
A sad atmosphere began to pervade the Japanese military headquarters, which was particularly obvious under the dim lights.
All the Japanese soldiers wore their dog-skin plaster turbans, and even the bayonets on the 38 caps were polished to a bright shine.
At this moment, they realized that the elites would also be surrounded and eliminated!
After everything was ready, Tanaka Yijun said to the telegraph operator beside him: "Send a telegram to Commander Okamura Neiji. The content reads: 'General Okamura Neiji Junjian, our department has now We are preparing to reach the point of exhaustion. The enemy's infantry is already preparing to rush to the city. Our troops are already preparing to retreat into the city and engage in a final decisive battle with the enemy. If Iizuka Kunigoro Colonel's reinforcements cannot arrive before noon, I will lead Everyone in the Second Security Battalion of the Headquarters is in pieces! Tanaka Yikunden, the captain of the Second Security Battalion of the Eleventh Army Headquarters.'"
"Hai!" the telegraph operator responded.
…
The camera moves to the outside of the city, to the west gate.
At this time, Huang Qisan, the leader of the 97th Regiment, was glowing. He could already see what the city looked like when it was captured, and it was captured under his command.
"Old Liao, just watch! Our regiment can take down the West City Gate in two hours!" Huang Qisan was very high-spirited and felt quite proud of his guidance.
In fact, it's no wonder that Huang Qisan is so proud: because most of the battles he fought before were mostly defeated. Half an hour ago, he had to risk the lives of his brothers to contain the Japanese army; how good it is now, the brigade commander not only issued an order but also used all his strength to control the Japanese army. The order to launch a fierce attack also brought in artillery support, which was still artillery from the Central Army. The only fly in the ointment was that the brigade commander also asked the two regiments to send a battalion each to the east gate and south gate to take over the Central Army's positions.
"This is a good thing. No matter what, the battle to regain Jiujiang was fought by our 48th Brigade." Chief of Staff Liao Penghui analyzed.
"Yes, the Chief of Staff is right, we have taken the limelight. What I don't quite understand is, how come the Central Army allowed us to take such a big advantage for nothing?" With that said, Huang Qisan drove towards Liao Penghui.
"I don't know about this. I don't know. There may be more important battles to fight. Judging from the confrontation between us and this group of little devils, this group of people is by no means a good person. They are equipped with light machine guns and The number of grenade launchers is greater than that of ordinary Japanese troops, otherwise, our initial offensive would never have been so strenuous," Liao Penghui said.
"Yes, that's right. The firepower of these little devils is indeed fierce. If we can't protect them all, they are the elite of the Japanese army. If we can annihilate this elite, it is not in vain to fight with all our strength this time." Huang Qisan nodded, with a smile that he had not seen for a long time. There was finally a smile on his face.
Huang Qisan picked up the telescope and looked at the attacking troops not far away. At this moment, a bullet penetrated the thigh of a national soldier. The soldier fell down and then screamed in pain. stand up.
War is cruel.
Huang Qisan, who is already an experienced commander, will not fail to know this. All he has to do is to command the troops to attack successfully and annihilate this cunning and elite Japanese army.
"Captain, what I mean is... With such an elite force surrounded by us in the city, it is impossible for the Japanese army to be without reinforcements. This time, the Central Military Police Regiment was temporarily transferred away, probably to deal with the Japanese reinforcements. It's a fight." Liao Penghui analyzed in a deep voice.
After Huang Qisan thought for a while, he nodded and said: "That's right. Once our 48th Brigade entered Jiujiang, we basically followed the command of the Central Military Police First Regiment. Moreover, the First Police Regiment's equipment is so well-equipped and its soldiers There are more than our 48th Brigade. It is really possible that they are facing Japanese reinforcements."
"Commander, actually since we entered Jiujiang, I have been thinking about a question, that is, what is the significance of Commander Zhang Fakui asking our three regiments, oh no, two brigades to be precise, to recover Jiujiang?" Liao Penghui said bluntly. road.
"There seems to be no problem with a division of troops regaining Jiujiang. At least they can regain the lost ground, right? The political significance is greater than the military significance." Huang Qisan analyzed.
"Captain, I don't think so. If the Japanese army can capture Jiujiang once, they can capture it a second time. What's more, Jiujiang was previously captured by the Japanese 106th Division. Now the 106th Division The whereabouts of the regiment are unknown. Moreover, large Japanese troops are in the Hukou and Pengze areas. No matter how stupid Chief Zhang is, he cannot let the troops of our two brigades be eaten up on this front line." Liao Penghui said slowly.
"What do you mean?" Huang Qisan's brows furrowed tightly.
"This battle will not be that simple. The Central Army's 1st Police Regiment is called a regiment, but it is actually a brigade. It is more appropriately called the 1st Police Brigade. Such an elite brigade is left here to be eaten by little Japan. ? It’s you, you don’t dare to do this, right?” As he said that, Liao Penghui smiled, and that smile was thought-provoking.
Huang Qisan thought for a while and said: "What the Chief of Staff said makes sense. Logically speaking, Commander Zhang must consider such an elite brigade no matter what. Our 48th Brigade is a miscellaneous army, and the First Police Regiment is Ace Army. Our army came to Jiujiang, it seems to have a great reputation..."
"Let's just wait and see what the specific plot is. The top priority right now is to capture Jiujiang County. If something happens to the police group, we can always go to reinforce it, right?" Liao Penghui said with a smile.
