"Nani? Are you saying that we need to send troops to spy on the whereabouts of the China Army? Mikami-kun, don't be kidding me. The China Army on the south bank of the Xinqiang River has just retreated from the Wuhan battlefield, suffering heavy casualties, and frontline supplies are still there. Changsha was burned down by a fire, so what ability do they have to go north? They can hold on to this one-third of an acre of land on the south bank of the Xinqiang River, which is already very good." Xiong Wuzhenglang was so shocked at first that he thought he had heard wrong, and then Again very disdainful.
Why does this happen? That's because Masahiro Kumatake himself is a very arrogant, even arrogant person. Youth is indeed a kind of capital, and he is also the youngest captain of the Sixth Division. At this age, he is the most respected person in the entire Japanese Army. He is the youngest group, not to mention, his unit is still the most capable unit in the Sixth Division. It is precisely because of this that he becomes more and more arrogant.
"Mikami-kun, many times, when we look at things, we have to look at things comprehensively. The reason why Matsuura Junrokuro's 106th Division suffered a big setback in Wanjialing is because they were originally a reserve force. What ability do these miscellaneous troops have to compare with our Sixth Division? We are the number one ace of the Imperial Army!" As he spoke, the corners of Masaru Kumatake's mouth slightly curved again.
Disdainful, yet confident, even arrogant.
"But, Captain, I always have an ominous premonition. Except for the disappearance of Corporal Onitsuka Hakuichiro a month ago, there is no movement among the guerrillas of the China Army. They even moved the main force of the division headquarters in the direction of Yueyang. The troops were alarmed, and even the town of Matang was alarmed. We are so quiet here, are there any other problems?" Mikami Shimizu reminded, after all, as the chief of staff, this is within the scope of his responsibilities. .
"Mikami-kun, there is no need to make such a fuss. Isn't this kind of thing normal? Yueyang is close to Dongting Lake. There are mostly fishermen on that side of Yueyang. It is normal for the China Army to take advantage of this characteristic to form some guerrillas. . More importantly, for us, these guerrillas are just shrimps. If it were not for the special reasons in the Yueyang area, our Sixth Division would definitely not be stationed here. We should be stationed in Changsha!" Xiong Wu Zhenglang said confidently.
Xiong Wu Zhenglang is not generally clear about the strength of the Sixth Division. After all, he has been here for a long time, so it is normal for him to know.
But what Xiong Wu Zhenglang doesn't know is that it is precisely because of being too confident that sometimes he easily capsizes in the gutter.
Obviously, Xiong Wu Zhenglang didn't quite understand this truth. He always believed that his own judgment was the most correct, and other people's judgments were not as accurate as his own.
What causes Masahiro Kumatake to have such a self-confident and extremely narcissistic character? This has to start with the promotion of Xiong Wu Zhenglang——
Xiong Takezhenglang graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, but before arriving in Shanghai, he was just a squadron leader. It was precisely because of his outstanding performance in the Songhu Battle that he was promoted to battalion captain; after the Nanjing Battle, , it was Xiong Wu Zhenglang who first led the troops into Nanjing. This made him attract the attention of the Japanese army bosses. He was temporarily promoted to the captain of the front line and was also the acting captain!
So the question is, when did he officially become the co-captain? This has to start with the battle in Wuhan. The 6th Division was responsible for fighting directly from the north bank of the Yangtze River to Wuhan. As the intermediate combat wing of the 6th Division, the 45th Wing naturally attracted much attention. In the Tianjia Town Fortress, the 45th Regiment took the lead in attacking Tianjia Town. Only then did the word "agent" on the head of Xiong Wumasheng Lang's head as the acting commander of the regiment be officially removed.
For such a young officer who rose steadily from the front line by relying on his military exploits step by step, Xiong Takezhenglang confidently believed that the judgment and strength of others were not as good as his!
However, everything was such a coincidence. Xiong Wuzhenglang was so careless and arrogant that he didn't take it to heart, which gave Zhang Tianhai and others an excellent opportunity.
For example, now, the troops of the 45th Regiment have not carried out defense changes or large-scale military exercises for fifteen days, because Xiong Wu Zhenglang believes that it is impossible for these Chinese troops to dare to fight, and he I also took the opportunity to live a comfortable life for a few days.
After repeatedly checking the combat plan, Zhang Tianhai finally determined that there was no problem with this plan. As long as the Japanese army did not increase its troops on a large scale, victory would be certain!
…
It's night and the wind is blowing coldly.
It was late at night on March 24, the twenty-eighth year of the Republic of China. Following an order from Zhang Tianhai, commander-in-chief of the 9th Theater Guard Force, the troops on the north bank of the Xinqiang River advanced rapidly, and on the rebuilt pontoon bridge, countless people Civilians and logistics troops continuously transported logistics materials to the front line according to groups.
In the dark night, groups of national army troops advanced quietly, very fast, and they wanted to enter their predetermined positions.
Under the bright moonlight, Zhang Tianhai's angular face looked particularly cold. For him, it depends on whether he can launch the attack at seven o'clock tomorrow morning as scheduled.
Different from other troops, in order to ensure that the troops were not exposed, Zhang Tianhai directly ordered the troops not to light torches. In his words, it was "just a little, one big night, and I can't walk no matter what." You’ve gone astray, and I’ve given you a guide, so what do you have to be afraid of?”
It is true that among the civilians who came to support, many people were originally from the north bank of the Xinqiang River. It was only because they were afraid of the Japanese army that they ran to the south bank of the Xinqiang River and hid in the mountains.
In order to ensure that every aspect of the operation went smoothly, Zhang Tianhai specially selected a group of people from the north bank of the Xinqiang River, especially those from Juankou Town. To ensure the accuracy of the operation, Zhang Tianhai assigned five personnel to each operation team. This is to prevent the troops from straying due to some guides admitting their mistakes in the dark night.
All night long, people on the north bank of the Xinqiang River were moving around quickly, but there was no other sound except the sound of walking.
"Chunfei, the lives of Guo Qiliang and I, as well as the brothers in the forward troops of the theater guard force, are in your hands. You must repair the pontoon bridge. This is our last retreat." Zhang Tianhai said to Guo Qiliang very solemnly. said.
"Members of the group, please rest assured. As long as I, Li Chunfei, are here, the pontoon will not be broken and the supplies will not be exhausted!" Li Chunfei promised.
For Zhang Tianhai, he is absolutely assured that Li Chunfei can help him guard the rear. If it were another person, he might not be reassured, because he is now the number one guard in the theater. If he died on the front line, he would probably be killed. Someone has come to take over the responsibility of the theater guard force.
As far as Zhang Tianhai is concerned, Li Chunfei feels relieved for two reasons: first, Li Chunfei was promoted by him, which is an emotional component; second, if Li Chunfei does not have the support of Zhang Tianhai, then Li Chunfei is nothing but a duckweed. Any other officer who comes to power can shoot him to death.
No matter which aspect you look at, you can rest assured.
Looking at Zhang Tianhai's leaving figure, Li Chunfei nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a sense of perseverance: The three pontoon bridges behind him are the escape route and lifeline for the security forces in the war zone, and he will definitely protect them!
