Just as Li Chunfei envisioned, it didn't take long for Zhang Tianhai to bring his headquarters to Gutang Town, and the second battalion and the regiment's direct team arrived.
…
At this moment, the soldiers of the Japanese 101st Regiment began to board the warship under the orders of their officers.
As for the Meijiazhou Bridge, it had already been smashed to ashes in the flames of war between the Chinese and Japanese armies, and it no longer exists on the map!
"Hey, Kelie!! Hurry! Hurry!!"
As the war in Jiujiang intensified, these Japanese troops could no longer hold back - the order for emergency reinforcements was given by Commander Okamura Neiji, and the troops to be reinforced were also the security brigade directly under Commander Okamura Neiji. This cannot but be Be anxious... If one step too late leads to the annihilation of the entire army, they cannot bear the blame.
…
While the Japanese army was working hard to reinforce the troops guarding Jiujiang at full speed, the officers of the Second Corps were not idle either. They were studying a big war.
"Now, two brigades of our army have been engaged in the battle against Jiujiang. The Japanese army has not only sent an unknown number of reinforcements from Pengze along the Hukou line to Jiujiang County for support. But what is very sad is that the Japanese 106th The division's vanguard has already moved south along the Nanxun Railway, heading straight for De'an and Nanchang. It won't be long before their vanguard will reach the north of De'an. Everyone, what do you think of the new situation?" After saying that, Zhang Fakui put his hands on the table and looked at the people around him with his energetic eyes.
"Boss, the enemy's 106th Division has now moved south in a large scale and is no longer under the control of our Corps. I believe that the current focus of the operations of the two brigades of our Corps in the Jiujiang area is the battle in this area. , related to our operations in the northern Jiangxi region, our focus should be here." Gao Shen, a major general next to him, said.
"Brother Guoyan is wrong. The battle of the two brigades in Jiujiang is certainly the focus, but it is by no means the most important. I believe that the defense of Xingzi County and Lushan is also the focus. These two items are of great importance. It's on top of the Jiujiang battle." Next to him, another major general, Gao Shen, interjected.
The opinions of these two senior counselors made Zhang Fakui frown, obviously he did not agree with the opinion of one of the senior counselors.
At this moment, a lieutenant staff officer ran in, stood at attention in front of Zhang Fakui and saluted: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, military command secret report! Please review it!"
"What secret report?" Zhang Fakui was a little surprised and asked subconsciously.
"It's a secret report about frontline operations." After saying that, the lieutenant handed the folded telegraph newspaper to Zhang Fakui.
Zhang Fakui nodded, then took the secret report and began to read it carefully.
After a short while, Zhang Fakui put down the secret report in his hand, and then said to the people in front of him: "Everyone, it has been found out that the one rushing to the aid of Jiujiang is the 101st Regiment of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army. If there are no accidents, they have already boarded the ship at Hukou and are preparing to march westward. The troops in Jiujiang will face the Japanese front directly."
After learning the news, the officers of the Corps looked at each other in shock, but never said a word again. They were waiting for Commander-in-Chief Zhang to speak - without Commander-in-Chief Zhang's nod, other suggestions were just a waste of words.
"What does the Commander-in-Chief mean?"
In the end, it was Chief of Staff Chen Baocang who broke the silence.
"I want to hear your opinions first." Zhang Fakui said in a deep voice, obviously he has not yet made up his mind.
Chen Baocang thought for a while and then said: "Boss, in my opinion, it is better to muddy the waters in northern Jiangxi according to the predetermined plan. The Japanese army's goal is Wuhan, and now one of their divisions is heading south to De'an, presumably to We need to control the Nanxun Railway to ensure the safety of the flanks. If we can cut off their retreat, it won’t be that easy for them to capture De’an, right?”
As soon as Chen Baocang said this, everyone nodded, but no other opinions were raised. They obviously agreed with Chen Baocang's suggestion.
"It seems that we can only proceed according to the original plan." Zhang Fakui nodded, and then said to the combat staff officer next to him: "Immediately call Zhang Tianhai, commander of the 1st Guard Regiment of the 9th Theater Zone, to inquire about the specific movements of their troops and request Call back immediately."
"Yes! Sir!" The combat staff stood at attention and saluted, and then immediately ran out to execute the order.
"Everyone, this battle will determine the follow-up operations of our army. Please make suggestions for the anti-Japanese cause and work hard to win this war!" Zhang Fakui said in a deep voice, which set the tone.
"Yes! Sir!!" Everyone responded in unison, but they were not very high-spirited.
Not long after, a call came back about the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth Theater Zone.
"Report to the chief, Zhang Tianhai, commander of the 1st Guard Regiment of the Ninth War Zone, urgent call!" It was the same combat staff officer who ran to Zhang Fakui to make the report.
This time, Zhang Fakui was more decisive: "Read it!"
"Yes!" After the combat staff responded, he began to read the message from Zhang Tianhai's command in a straight tone: "Commander-in-chief Zhang Junjian of the Second Corps, our regiment and the 40th The Eighth Brigade Headquarters is currently progressing smoothly. The Forty-eighth Brigade Headquarters will be responsible for the attack on Jiujiang. The main force of our regiment is concentrated in Gutang Town, preparing to fight the enemy to the death. Please give instructions, sir!"
After hearing this, Zhang Fakui nodded, and then said: "Restore the first regiment of the theater guard. If planned, continue to implement it according to the original plan. In addition, if emergencies can be adopted, two elite brigades of our army must not be ruined. The Second Jiujiang Battle!"
"Yes! Chief!" the combat staff officer responded.
…
After receiving this reply message, Zhang Tianhai was under great pressure - without this message, he could have used it as he wanted, but now this message means that the superiors are also paying attention to this Jiujiang battle. .
The play has become the highlight, but we can't let it go wrong - if we go wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Team leader, what should we do now?" Wang Liang asked Zhang Tianhai with this telegram.
"Our troops have just stationed in Gutang, and such a message came. We are under great pressure..." Zhang Tianhai sighed, obviously very tired, "Call the battalion commanders over immediately, I want to Arrange combat missions!"
"Yes! Group seat!" Wang Liang responded.
Soon, several battalion commanders, including the commanders of the troops directly under the regiment headquarters, basically gathered.
First Battalion Commander Li Chunfei, Second Battalion Commander Luo Shi'an, Third Battalion Commander Yang Jiquan, Fourth Battalion Commander Han Xingle, Cavalry Battalion Commander Wang Yongcheng, Artillery Battalion Commander Zhao Chengge, Political Training Section Chief He Jiye, Special Agent Company Commander Liu Houming, Guards Company Commander Xu Sangou...
It seems that there are many talents, and Zhang Tianhai’s wings are finally getting fuller...
After looking around at everyone, Zhang Tianhai took a deep breath and said: "Now we announce the first phase of the combat mission.
Li Chunfei, I now order your first battalion to withdraw from Gutang Town and serve as the reserve team of the regiment. Luo Shian's second battalion will be stationed in Gutang Town with the purpose of defending Gutang Town. No unauthorized actions are allowed before receiving the order. Evacuate the existing position and any violation will be punished by military law.
At the same time, the artillery muzzles of the artillery battalion were aimed at Gutang Town. No one was allowed to fire before receiving an order.
According to the established plan, the third battalion was stationed at Ji Feo Mountain in the southwest, forming a corner with Gutang Town. The undead Japanese army surrounded the second battalion of our regiment;
The cavalry battalion is responsible for the task of luring the enemy in-depth and making reconnaissance preparations. If there are changes, orders can be issued at any time.
The fourth battalion and the team directly under the regiment are responsible for counterattack missions and provide specific combat orders. We will issue the order at that time, please implement it immediately! "
Zhang Tianhai's voice was very loud and full of confidence, which shocked everyone in front of him.
The war is coming!
