"Then what should we do next?" Zhou Fangjie asked Zhang Tianhai.
"As for this question, I think I can't answer you yet. Of course, I can't answer it either. Now that the two Japanese divisions are in place, the threat they pose to us is huge, especially the Japanese Honma After Yaqing's 27th Division is in place, the Japanese 6th Division is fully capable of pulling out a hand, oh no, to be precise, coming out to deal with us. If that is the case, we will be in big trouble. , so my current combat strategy is to focus on defense first. Let’s not talk about other things first. Now the first and third guard regiments have been devoted to the defense of Xinqiang River. Your guard No. Let’s put the second regiment in the reserve position! It’s always good to be prepared for a rainy day.”
"Well, in this battle in Juankou Town, only the third and fourth battalions of our regiment have some casualties. The other two main battalions are fine. You can make any arrangements. Our second guard regiment will not say a word Complain!" Zhou Fangjie promised.
"Very good. With your words, I feel more at ease." Zhang Tianhai nodded solemnly, "You have to keep an eye on the Third Guard Regiment. Our First Guard Regiment can hold it." . Even if the Japanese army wants to go south, their primary target of attack will be the Third Regiment."
"Okay, I understand." Zhou Fangjie nodded.
…
The camera turned back to the direction of the Japanese army.
Outside the town, the main force of the Japanese army gathered and surrounded the town.
At this time, the commander of the Japanese southward column, Major General Ushijima Mitsuru, had a arrogant face. The fear he had felt when facing the main force of the National Army's 15th Group Army on the north bank of the Xinqiang River had long since disappeared.
What gives him such confidence? Yes, it was the arrival of the 27th Division that gave the senior leaders of the Sixth Division the hope that the entire division would come out in force - they also believed that as long as all the main forces of their Sixth Division were mobilized, There is no enemy that cannot be defeated.
This is not to say that the senior leaders of the Japanese Sixth Division are blindly confident. This is the confidence based on hard facts - whether they are breaking through Nanjing or conducting operations on the north bank of the Yangtze River, they have used their very powerful strength to challenge all Japanese troops. The troops proved that they are truly the "First Division"!
The Cavalry Regiment has informed Ushijima Mitsuru that the enemy troops here have already retreated, but Ushijima Mitsuru feels that he still needs to search for some clues here. For example, what kind of troops do these enemies belong to? Why can they move so quickly?
"Warriors of the rising sun! Listen to my order!! March to Jiankou Town!!" Ushijima Mitsuru raised his sword high.
"Rush!!"
"Kill!!"
…
These crazy Japanese soldiers were shouting and marching forward, as if Ushijima Mitsuru's words were like an imperial edict.
However, when these crazy Japanese soldiers rushed into the port town, they discovered that there was no one here. Except for the corpses of their Japanese soldiers scattered and piled up like trenches, what else was there?
…
Seeing that the town of Jiankou was almost completely looted by the national army, Mitsuru Ushijima was almost filled with anger and kicked hard on the dilapidated wooden door in front of him.
Ushijima Mitsuru's kick was so powerful that the wooden door almost fell apart immediately.
"Baga! Damn China people!!" Ushijima Mitsuru cursed angrily.
At this moment, a Japanese soldier ran up to Ushijima Mitsuru, holding an envelope in his hand. He saw written in Chinese characters on the envelope: "A letter to the commander of the Sixth Division of Little Japan."
Ushijima Mitsuru had studied Chinese, so he knew the words above.
After seeing this letter, Ushijima Mitsuru was rarely angry. Instead, he opened the letter with great interest.
Because this was a clue for Mitsuru Ushijima - even if these enemies wanted to humiliate him, they would still leave some clues.
After Ushijima Mitsuru opened the letter, he saw it read: Little Japan, the grandfathers are gone. You are late. ——All colleagues of the Central Army who participated in the battle against Jiankou Town.
Yes, Ushijima miscalculated. This letter was kept just to humiliate him. The key is that not even the contents of it, including the unit number, were left behind.
This behavior of the national army made Ushijima furious - he had never seen such a shameless enemy before. He just scolded them without leaving any content behind.
"Hagajiaji! Damn China people!" Mitsuru Ushijima cursed viciously, and then he did something that no one expected!
I saw Ushijima calling his adjutant and saying: "All troops! Follow me to the New Wall River immediately!"
"Hai!!" The Japanese officers and soldiers around him responded one after another.
Yes, Ushijima Mitsuru is going to find his way back this time.
For Ushijima Mitsuru, he can win the battle, but he cannot fight such a useless defeat! I don't even know what kind of enemy unit the other party is. Isn't this a joke? Even if you lose, you can't lose to this point!
Ever since, under Ushijima Mitsuru's anger, the Japanese Sixth Division's temporarily formed southbound detachment was already firing on all cylinders and heading south at full speed!
How could the national army not monitor such actions by the Japanese army?
However, the surveillance of the Japanese troops by the national army was not conducted on the north bank of the Xinqiang River, but on the south bank of the Xinqiang River.
…
Due to Zhang Tianhai's deployment changes, the remaining personnel of the ninth theater guard force were changed from infantry units to cavalry units.
Since Zhang Tianhai implemented the defensive strategy, everything has become hurried, a bit similar to the way the rear team changes to the front team.
In this case, the cavalry battalion, which was the most mobile and powerful in the theater guard force, was put to use.
The unit responsible for staying on the bank of the Xinqiang River is the First Company of the Cavalry Battalion of the 1st Guard Regiment. Because this unit does not carry heavy weapons, only light weapons, it is also the most mobile and is most suitable for lookout and reconnaissance.
Wei Daqiang, commander of the first cavalry company, was lying in the haystacks and staring at the situation on the north bank of the Xinqiang River. Not long after the first battalion of the second guard regiment had evacuated, the Japanese cavalry appeared on the north bank. When would the main force of the Japanese army arrive? It's not certain yet - if you don't keep a close eye, if something big happens, the group members will have to kill themselves.
Just when Wei Daqiang was very nervous, a Japanese military flag appeared on the north bank.
"Pay attention! The little devil is coming!" Wei Daqiang said to the brothers around him.
"Yes! Company Commander!" The national army officers and soldiers next to him responded softly.
Immediately afterwards, the number of military flags that appeared on the north bank was beyond Wei Daqiang's expectation.
