Just as the cavalry battalion commander Wang Yongcheng had guessed, the Japanese army did not immediately invest all their troops in a pig-like charge as imagined, but conducted a trial first.
After testing to no avail, the captain of the first brigade, Xi Mu, couldn't help but twitching in his face: These Chinese troops were too disrespectful. They actually beat them for a while and then ran away. Isn't this delaying their time?
Thinking of the raging situation on the front line, Xi Mu felt annoyed.
"Everyone listen to my order! Target Jiujiang County, move forward at full speed~!!" Kishiki Mizuichiro pulled out the samurai sword at his waist with a very fierce expression.
After receiving the instructions from Captain Ximu, the flag bearer quickly used flag language to convey the combat orders of Captain Ximu, the forward commander, to all units.
The entire Japanese army became uniform under the command of the flag bearer, showing its elite appearance!
They were originally the aces among the Japanese reserve forces, and their performance this time was just one of their daily trainings.
"Haas~~ Let's go!!" the junior officers of the Japanese army were shouting, for fear that their voices were not loud enough and they would not be able to accurately convey the order to these soldiers.
On the winding dirt road, groups of well-trained Japanese troops were advancing rapidly.
And this scene did not escape Wang Yongcheng's eyes. He was staring closely at this troop!
"This Japanese army is stronger than the ordinary Japanese army...even as good as the elite Japanese troops on the Songhu battlefield..." Looking at this scene, Wang Yongcheng took a breath.
He knew better than anyone how strong the Japanese army was on the Songhu battlefield - he was the one who narrowly escaped death in that battle!
In that life-and-death struggle with the Japanese army, although the morale of the Northeastern officers and soldiers was very high, they were still defeated by the elite and ferocious Japanese army. The Northeastern Army was defeated like a mountain. One regiment fought to the end, and only half a battalion remained. .
If he hadn't met Zhang Tianhai, Wang Yongcheng might have been a member of the defeated troops, and he didn't know whether he would have died in the Nanjing Massacre or some unknown battle.
Because he clearly knew the combat power of the Japanese army, Wang Yongcheng chose to be cautious this time: "Immediately call the regiment and inform the regiment that a very elite Japanese army is heading towards Jiujiang at full speed, and our cavalry battalion is closely following the attack." Monitor the enemy's movements! Please give instructions whether to attack."
"Yes, battalion commander!" the telegraph operator beside Wang Yongcheng responded.
…
Soon, Zhang Tianhai, who was near Gutang Town, received this battle report from the front line.
Zhang Tianhai thought for a moment and did not hesitate: "Restore the electric cavalry battalion immediately. They are paying close attention to the movements of the Japanese army and cannot fight head-on with the Japanese army!"
"Yes! Headquarters!" A telecommunications staff officer next to him responded.
After Zhang Tianhai finished speaking, Li Chunfei next to him said, "Tuan Zuo, it seems that you are already confident."
Zhang Tianhai smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "How can we be confident? Now the purpose of provoking the enemy has been achieved. As long as the 48th Brigade does not hold us back. The cavalry battalion can cut off their retreat at any time. And if our army is on the front line, we can completely annihilate their forward troops!"
"You are so humble, regiment leader. When it comes to combat command, let alone our regiment, there are not many people in the entire Second Corps who can be as good as you." Li Chunfei said very seriously. Judging from his expression, it didn't look like he was Deliberately flattering.
"Forget about the entire Second Corps, I'm just taking it one step at a time. Our regiment, and even the entire ninth theater, are elite troops with few elite troops. Let's not talk about anything else. In the regiment-level troops , we can still grasp it. We can't fight a large corps battle, at least, can we fight an evenly matched battle to annihilate the enemy on a battlefield with relatively sparse troops?" Zhang Tianhai turned back to look at Li Chunfei and said.
Li Chunfei moved his lips slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
After Zhang Tianhai thought for a while, he said to Han Xingle, the commander of the fourth battalion who was also at the side: "Captain Han, your fourth battalion, please station at Zuoshankou!"
"Yes! Group leader." Han Xingle responded without asking the group leader why he did this.
It's not that Han Xingle is just a fool who can only execute orders, but because Han Xingle knows exactly what the regiment leader wants to do - Zuoshan Pass is located in the southeast of Gutang Town, forming a straight line with Jifei Mountain in the northwest. If the Japanese army wants to If we want to surround Gutang Town, we will inevitably be attacked from the southeast and northwest.
"Before my order, the Fourth Battalion is not allowed to expose its targets, nor is it allowed to launch attacks on the Japanese army without authorization. If it violates the order, it will be dealt with according to the military law!" Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice, and the warning meant more than anything else.
"Tuanzuo, I understand my position. This battle may be another big war. Tuanzuo's plan is flawless. The only flaw is that if the Japanese army has too many soldiers, it will be defeated due to overwhelming force." Han Xing Le couldn't help but remind him that after all, the brothers had to fight with their lives in this battle.
Zhang Tianhai lit a cigarette, sighed and said, "Battle Commander Han, just execute the order. I have already made up my mind about the frontline battle."
"Yes, Tuanzuo." Han Xingle responded and prepared to leave.
Just when Han Xingle was about to leave, Zhang Tianhai added: "According to reliable information, the Japanese troops reinforcing Jiujiang this time are about the same regiment, and they are very elite Japanese troops."
After hearing this, Han Xingle turned around, nodded gently, but said no other words, and then left.
"Tour members, what about our camp?" Li Chunfei couldn't help but ask.
I saw Zhang Tianhai holding the cigarette in his mouth, looking like a ruffian, and said: "Just wait! Your battalion is by no means a stand-by in this war. Do your best to fight with the Japanese army." Get ready for a fight to the death!"
"I understand." Li Chunfei nodded.
But at this moment, Zhang Tianhai's eyes were looking into the distance. No one knew what he was thinking - this war was about to begin, and whether he won or lost, the police group would pay the price with blood.
From the moment the Japanese invaders stepped into China's great rivers and mountains with steel guns and bayonets, everything was doomed.
China's territorial integrity needs to be won with the blood of Chinese descendants; China's dignity also needs to be defended by Chinese people with steel guns and flesh and blood!
…
The camera turns to the other side.
As the Chinese army's offensive intensified, the already disadvantaged Japanese army became even more passive. Both the west and north city walls had been occupied by the Cantonese army, while the remaining east and south walls were still holding on.
Fierce fighting took place in street fighting.
As the fighting on the frontline became increasingly tense, Xu Jiyuan, commander of the 48th Brigade, also moved his headquarters near Jiujiang County.
Standing on the top of the west wall of Jiujiang County, looking at the corpses on the ground, Xu Jiyuan's expression was not moved at all. On the contrary, he was observing the war in the distance.
"Old Liao, it seems that we are already certain to win this battle. The battle for reinforcements from the First Police Regiment must be about to begin, right?" Xu Jiyuan said, speaking in Cantonese.
