Yueyang City, the headquarters of the Japanese Sixth Division.
As an old man, Inaba Shiro's work and rest schedule can be said to be very regular. He goes to bed early at night and gets up before Kun brother crows in the morning. At this time, he has just woken up and wants to fall asleep. A cup of hot tea brewed in a thermos last night.
It was here that there was a knock at the door.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk!"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Captain Norio Yamamoto of the Third Squadron directly under the Division Headquarters has an urgent message!" A voice came from outside the door. Shiro Inaba knew without even thinking that it was Staff Officer Yoshizawa.
"Bring it in immediately!" Inaba Shiro had an ominous premonition. After all, if there was nothing going on in Jiankou Town, he would usually not contact him. Now contacting him would only prove that something went wrong there.
"Hai!" With a response, a strong, dark-faced Japanese officer walked in outside the door.
I saw Staff Officer Yoshizawa handing the telegram translation in his hand to Inaba Shiro and saying: "Your Excellency, the division commander, according to the report of Captain Norio Yamamoto of the 3rd Squadron directly under the division, they encountered the absolute main force of the enemy's attack. And they also used the mountain artillery battalion. According to the estimation of Squadron Leader Yamamoto, their direct enemy is the 15th China Army on the south bank of the Xinqiang River. Report completed."
Inaba Shiro picked up the telegram and read it, and then said: "On the south bank of the Xinqiang River, in addition to the 15th Group Army of the China Army that has a mountain artillery battalion, there is another army that has a mountain artillery unit, and that is the China Army's Ninth Theater Guards Unit , these two troops are the elites of the Central Army of the China Army, and they used the mountain artillery battalion at this time, which is most likely done by the security forces of the Ninth Theater District of the China Army. But the worst case scenario cannot be ruled out..."
The meaning of Shiro Inaba's words was profound, and Staff Yoshizawa immediately understood it. He said: "Your Excellency, the division commander, means... it is most likely that the 15th Group Army of the China Army and the guard force of the 9th Theater Zone of the China Army jointly In front of me? Sir, please make it clear!"
"This is the worst case scenario. If the security troops of the Ninth Theater District of the China Army come, it will be easier for us. We must avenge the previous attack on Juankou Town! This is a shame for our Sixth Division. !" Commander Inaba Shiro said harshly.
"Then what should we do? Please tell us clearly from the division commander!" Staff Officer Yoshizawa asked in a deep voice.
"Order, except for the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, all other troops will enter a defensive state; the Sixth Cavalry Regiment will immediately go south to reinforce Jiankou Town! Reinforcement must be achieved quickly!" Inaba Shiro said fiercely.
Yes, this is an extremely artistic order. Inaba Shiro ordered the cavalry regiment to reinforce Jiankou Town. The subtext is that if the cavalry regiment arrives and Jiankou Town has fallen to the enemy, then the cavalry regiment can retreat. .
There is also a more insidious intention. If the cavalry regiment reaches the town of Jiankou and the enemy's foothold is not stable, the cavalry regiment can directly launch a fierce attack on the national troops in the town of Juankou, thereby achieving the intention of regaining the town. , and with the above subtext, if defeated, the cavalry regiment can retreat calmly.
"Hai!!" Staff Officer Yoshizawa stood at attention and responded, his face full of seriousness.
Looking at the back of Staff Yoshizawa leaving, Inaba Shiro slowly stood up and slowly put on his clothes - anyway, the combat order has been issued, his mission has been completed, and other things should not be left to him. What the division commander is worried about, all he has to do is take charge of the overall situation in two hours.
Everything is under the control of Commander Inaba Shiro!
…
The camera turned and returned to the front line of Jiankou Town.
"Adjust the muzzle down one degree, fire two rounds quickly, get ready!!" Zhao Chengge's voice was full of high morale. Ever since he came to the third theater and was directly under the control of the first regiment, he, the artillery battalion commander, has been very proud of himself. Every time they go to the battlefield, they use big cannons to bombard the enemy. How can the enemy use cannons to bombard them? They all ran away after the bombing.
"The No. 1 gun is ready!!"
"The second gun is ready!!"
"Cannon No. 3 is ready!!"
…
As reports came one after another,
"fire!!"
As Zhao Chengge's powerful voice came out, the twelve cannons opened fire one after another, blasting the shells from the muzzles towards Jiankou Town.
Valley "Bang!!!"
"Bang!!!"
"Bang!!!"
…
As the artillery fired one after another, shells hit Yamamoto Norio again.
For the national army, it was a happy event, but for little Japan, it was not necessarily a happy event.
The camera turned to the town of Jiankou again.
For Yamamoto Norio, the enemy finally stopped the artillery fire for a while and asked him to put on his pants, but he never thought that the artillery fire would come again!
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
…
Artillery shells exploded around the telegraph room. What's more, they even exploded next to the telegraph room, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
"Baga! Damn the China Army! Baga! Way to go!!" Yamamoto Norio cursed wildly, but he looked more like incompetent rage.
Indeed, for them, the enemy troops were already approaching, and now the enemy's artillery was blasting on their heads, but there was nothing they could do.
And are the infantry units of the national army really approaching? Actually, yes.
The first time the artillery fire was launched was the time for the third and fourth battalions of the Second Guard Regiment to launch an attack, while the first and second battalions were used as reserves.
"We'll take this here later. The Japanese reinforcements will arrive. Next, we still have a tough battle to fight. The Japanese planes are expected to arrive soon. Be prepared for a tough battle!" Zhou Fangjie murmured, This time he went into battle to test the training results of the Second Guard Regiment. They had been competing against the First Guard Regiment before, but now they had to fight a tough battle. To be honest, he was really a little unsure.
The reason why Zhou Fangjie felt unsure was not that the combat effectiveness of the Second Guard Regiment was poor, but because although this unit had been trained for a long time, there were no experienced veterans in the team. This was the reason why Zhou Fangjie felt unsure— —This feeling is more like that of parents whose children are taking the college entrance examination and are afraid that they will fail!
Yes, the four battalions of the Second Guard Regiment have been dispatched. The only ones who can serve as reserve forces for support are the guard company of the regiment and the special agent company of the First Guard Regiment.
…
In the darkness, under the cover of the sound of artillery, countless national soldiers armed with weapons were advancing rapidly towards Jiankou Town. An overwhelming battle was about to begin!
