The camera turned to the south bank of the Xinqiang River, the headquarters of the 15th Army, Taolin Temple Village.
At this time, Guan Linzheng had already had breakfast and was sitting at his desk reading the Central News Agency's newspapers from the previous two days. The fragrance of tea was lingering on the table, and it could be seen that he was in a relatively relaxed mood at this time.
At this time, Zhang Yaoming, commander of the 52nd Army, walked in and said, "Boss, there is an emergency situation that I must report to you."
"Why are you so worried?" Guan Linzheng raised his head slightly.
"Boss, do you still remember that guy Zhang Tianhai recruited civilians to prepare for war?" Zhang Yaoming asked Guan Linzheng.
"Remember, what's the matter? I remember that boy made the scale quite big. He also made many handcarts and weaved bamboo rafts. I don't know what this guy thought. He really wanted to use the war zone security force as a Ten thousand people can defeat the Japanese Sixth Division?" Guan Linzheng shook his head slightly. He thought that Zhang Tianhai was indeed underestimating the enemy by doing this. Just imagine, the Sixth Division can fight from Nanjing to Wuhan in one division. It is not strong on its own. ,how can that be possible?
"Yes, according to the intelligence report, they started crossing the river the night before yesterday. At present, the main force of their troops has all crossed the Xinqiang River last night. They may have started fighting with the Japanese army by this time." Zhang Yaoming said.
Listening to Zhang Yaoming's report, Guan Linzheng's very honest and honest face showed a hint of approval. He nodded slightly and said, "Don't tell me, considering his previous deeds of daring to defend Lan Feng City alone. If you look at it, he can really do this kind of thing. Get your 52nd Army ready for battle immediately. He may retreat after defeating the little Japanese. If the little Japanese takes advantage of the situation and attacks, it will be troublesome. "
"Hey! This Tianhai is so cunning. He had a great time fighting on the front line. Let us wipe his butt!" Zhang Yaoming said very angrily. In his opinion, Zhang Tianhai's behavior made him very unhappy.
"No matter what, the south bank of the Xinqiang River is our defense area. If the little devil gets angry and fights with us, we will take advantage, right? They are not ready to fully move south. Don't we have all the Are there three armies? Counting the elite theater guard troops, we may not be able to take advantage of this war!" Guan Linzheng analyzed.
At this time, Zhang Yaoming nodded slightly and said, "What the boss said makes sense. I will go immediately to get the troops ready for battle."
"Okay, let's go!" After saying that, Guan Linzheng continued to read the newspaper.
About five minutes later, Guan Linzheng stood up and looked at the military map again. His face was solemn, and then he called his adjutant in and ordered the 79th Xia Chuzhong Army, which was defending the area from Maishi to Chang'an Bridge, to also prepare for the battle. Be prepared, because he felt that if the Japanese army really got angry and attacked, the entire defense line might be shaken, and he couldn't let any mistakes happen on this front!
If the defense line on the south bank of the Xinqiang River is shaken, Changsha will be the first to bear the brunt, and secondly, his 15th Army will also suffer huge losses.
Regarding Zhang Tianhai's behavior of quietly ordering the troops to cross the Xinqiang River, General Guan Linzheng suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart: As a dignified deputy commander-in-chief of the group army, he was led by the nose by a regiment commander. what happened? Although Zhang Tianhai commands the theater security force, the superiors have not appointed him as the commander of the theater security force, so he is still the regimental leader!
(PS: It should be noted here that Guan Linzheng was the deputy commander-in-chief of the 15th Group Army at this time, assuming the powers of acting commander-in-chief. In addition, most of the troops under his command were his old troops, so these people directly called him " Boss".)
But when he thought that Xue Yue's instructions were involved in the war zone security forces going north, Guan Linzheng took a deep breath and said softly: "That's all, let him take command for once! Wipe his butt for once! Damn it! What's the matter? If it weren't for Commander Xue, how could I be so aggrieved?"
Indeed, if you look at it this way, Guan Linzheng can wipe Zhang Tianhai's butt, or he can wipe it.
All in all, Guan Linzheng still felt a little unhappy.
…
The camera turns back to the front line of Jiankou Town.
At this time, Xiong Wuzhenglang had already discovered the rapidly advancing Chinese troops. He had a hunch that the attack of these Chinese troops was most likely to prepare for the next step.
Sure enough, the national army stopped at a position about 250 meters away from them. This position was indeed within the approximate effective range of the 38, but due to the position and the gun holes of the bunker, they did not directly Fire suppression was carried out, but the Japanese troops on the gun tower saw this scene clearly.
Xiong Wu Zhenglang knew all this clearly, but he wanted to see what tricks the Chinese army on the opposite side wanted to play.
"Order, the gun tower firepower point, immediately carry out fire suppression!" Xiong Wuzhenglang said to the messenger next to him.
"Hai!!" the messenger responded.
After a while, the semaphore soldiers on the roof began to pass the semaphore.
About half a minute later, all the Japanese artillery towers were suppressing fire.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
"Da da da……"
For a time, the gunshots of light machine guns and heavy machine guns were heard incessantly, very dense and loud.
The Japanese army opened fire, and the National Army troops had a difficult time. Countless bullets came, forcing the National Army troops to launch fire counter-suppression.
The national army did not choose to fire immediately because they did not want to provoke the enemy. After all, it would take some time for the flying thunder artillery troops to come up, and weren't the flying thunder artillery troops already digging fortifications?
This was a good time. The Japanese army's firepower was relatively fierce, but only the firepower points on the turrets opened fire. The national army's frontline troops immediately launched a counterattack with rifles and light machine guns in their hands.
"Damn, the little devil is too arrogant. At this time, he still wants to suppress us!" Han Xingle, the commander of the fourth battalion, cursed fiercely.
Of course, in this duel between fire suppression and counter-suppression, the national army still had the advantage. After all, the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Theater District Guard Force were equipped with a large number of light machine guns, and their number was large, and they were only just Aiming at a few gun towers, those gun towers soon misfired.
Taking advantage of this gap, Han Xingle ordered: "Quick! Let the stretcher bearers come up and carry away the wounded! The rest of the troops are ready to fight at any time!!"
…
Look at Masahiro Xiong who is still observing all this calmly from the opposite side.
Through the burst of gunfire and the density of firepower, Xiong Wuzhenglang understood that it would be difficult to break out this time, but he still had a bit of luck, that is, by holding on to Juankou Town, he could get the support of the main force of the division.
However, this sense of luck was quickly broken——
In the distance, I saw gasoline barrels being transported by national army troops and civilians, and there were also special troops digging holes in the ground. It was obvious that they were prepared.
Faced with this change, Xiong Wu Zhenglang was not a vegetarian. He immediately ordered: "Order, the first unit, be ready to launch a counterattack at any time!"
