Chapter 320 Wanjialing is in danger
After Li Benzhong withdrew from the position with a few men, the division commander asked the artillery to cover the first line of defense with fire.
The Japanese were forced to retreat again.
The Eighth Army, which had rushed from Hunan to Nanchang, was on a rapid march.
Commander Li of the Eighth Army kept receiving telegrams from Tiger Boys along the way, asking them about their location.
Commander Li almost collapsed.
Asking every hour, this frequency is too fast.
His troops were already in full force.
On two legs, in forty-eight hours, a march of two hundred kilometers, no joke.
He didn't know if he would have the strength to attack the Japanese army after his troops arrived at the designated place.
Just when the 110th Division was actively preparing to engage the Japanese army in the second line of defense, and the Eighth Army was rushing to Nanchang, Li Lei's new 1st Brigade launched an attack on the two wings of the 2nd Division.
Of course, Li Lei did not use all his strength in this attack.
If he had taken the new 1st Brigade and completely destroyed these two wings of the Japanese army, then the 6th Division would definitely have retreated.
The plan to completely annihilate the 6th Division fell through.
Li Lei's attack this time was a feint.
His purpose was to make these two wings dare not take the initiative to attack Nanshan.
In this way, after the Eighth Army came, his new brigade would be able to withdraw to encircle the Japanese Sixth Division.
Li Lei asked Liu Yuan to take the 2nd Independent Regiment and once again want the two wings of the 2nd Division to carry out artillery bombardment.
At the same time, in order to make the devils dare not peep at Nanshan, he ordered Liu Yuan to rush up with the troops and hit the devils fiercely.
According to Li Lei's order, Liu Yuan went over with his troops.
After a round of artillery bombardment, he led his troops to fight and rush, and the two wings of the Japanese army were smashed to pieces.
Then they quickly withdrew to the Nanshan position.
The temple is brave.
His eyes widened in horror.
Is this the power of the strong?
The opposing forces were so terrifying.
If I hadn't retreated in time with my troops, our two wings would have been wiped out.
Baga ......
Terauchi Yong looked at Nanshan in the distance in fear, that place, we must not go, otherwise, our team will become cannon fodder.
It's better to defend honestly.
Now the defensive position is not lost, it is good.
Now Terachi only hopes that the Sixth Division will quickly occupy Nanchang.
In this way, the task of their wing will be completed.
Even, because of his effective defense, he may even get a medal.
Here, it is impossible to attack, it is impossible to attack in this life.
That's simply looking for death.
It was already late, and Li Lei couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning.
He was always uneasy about Wanjialing.
After all, there was only one division there, and the defense was weak.
Although it is said that the Japanese attack was blocked today, the entire 11th Division can be said to have paid great sacrifices.
Moreover, their ammunition, estimated, is also insufficient.
The first line of defense was also torn apart by the Japanese.
Although there are still four lines of defense behind them, the position of those four lines of defense is not very good.
Whether it can be dragged to the Eighth Army is difficult to say.
Li Lei muttered, what is Shiro Inaba, the commander of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, thinking now?
It is not very easy to quickly break through the Wanjialing position.
During the day, Shiro Inaba had fully comprehended the combat effectiveness of the 110th Division.
If I were him, I would never fight like I did during the day.
After all, his own planes would bomb him during the day.
Although it was not a huge threat, the casualties inflicted on the 6th Division were not small.
The most important thing is to put a lot of psychological pressure on the devil.
Well, the best thing to do is to choose to attack at night.
At night?
Li Lei was stunned, would Shiro Inaba choose to be at night?
During the day, his 6th Division could attack for a whole day.
Now both the Japanese army and the national army are exhausted.
The 6th Division, still capable of attacking at night?
Li Lei was a little skeptical.
But I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if.
Li Lei, who was distraught, walked around the command headquarters.
Just as he was wandering around, a soldier hurriedly ran over: "Report to the brigade commander, telegram!" ”
Li Lei took a look at it, and sighed in his heart, he was really afraid of something.
The 6th Division of the Japanese Army really attacked Wanjialing at night.
The telegram was sent by Lao Luo of the 60th Army, asking him to take his troops to Wanjialing for reinforcements.
Now the 6th Division of the Japanese Army has broken through the fourth line of defense of the 110th Division.
In the entire Wanjialing, there is now a fifth line of defense left.
If this line of defense is finally broken by the Japanese army, not only will the plan to encircle and annihilate the Sixth Division fail, but Nanchang City will also be captured by the Japanese army.
Why did the Japanese attack so quickly?
From the evening to now, only a few hours, the Sixth Division actually broke through the three lines of defense of the 110th Division.
It took a day of attacking during the day to break through a line of defense.
How so?
Li Lei asked people to shout Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong, and Chu Yunfei.
Discuss countermeasures.
Wanjialing must be visited, and if you don't go, the Japanese army will soon occupy Wanjialing.
Then the soldiers came to Nanchang City.
Now the troops of the 60th Army in Nanchang City have only one division left.
It is impossible to send it to Wanjialing again.
Otherwise, Nanchang City would be guarded.
Li Lei decided to immediately take the new 1st Brigade to Wanjialing.
Li Leigang and Li Yunlong informed the troops that Nanshan had left a company of troops to guard.
The others all headed for Wanjialing.
Within two hours, we must rush to Wanjialing.
After Li Lei sent a telegram back to Deputy Commander Luo, he immediately set off with his troops.
The 110th Division soon received Li's order.
They must hold out for another two hours, and they must hold the Japanese in the fifth line of defense.
Two hours later, their reinforcements returned.
Two hours?
The commander of the 110th Division frowned and saw the position full of artillery fire.
I don't know if the troops can be stationed for two hours.
He really didn't expect that the Japanese would attack at night.
It's been a day's war.
The Japanese army was already exhausted, how could they attack at night?
And the combat effectiveness is so strong.
Wave after wave of charges never stopped.
Because the Japanese army attacked suddenly, his troops were defenseless at all.
The Japanese army broke through three lines of defense in a row.
The entire division was beaten to the ground.
It wasn't until the last line of defense that his division eased up.
Not much better, though.
According to the Japanese offensive posture, the last line of defense will soon be broken.
His division has no way out.
In order to stabilize the position, the commander of the 110th Division commanded from the position.
Now he had received an order from Li that reinforcements would come in two hours.
As long as you hold on for these two hours, Wanjialing will be held.
Shiro Inaba, commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, was very satisfied.
The daytime offensive was simply not at the normal level of his troops.
Such an offensive capability at night is the level of the troops.
The chief of staff of the Sixth Division said to him: "Division commander, according to this speed of attack, at dawn, we will be able to reach the city of Nanchang and launch an attack on the city of Nanchang." ”
Shiro Inaba nodded with satisfaction: "Yamada-kun, let's prepare to celebrate tomorrow's victory." ”
The sudden change in Wanjialing shocked the tiger boy, how could this be?
Isn't there a five-line line of defense arranged by the 110th Division? I played well during the day, but why did it become like this at night.
The chief of staff was also very shocked, how could the attack power of the Japanese army suddenly become so strong?
"Immediately send a report to Deputy Commander Luo, asking him to block the Japanese army at Wanjialing, and the Japanese army cannot break through Wanjialing until Commander Li's Eighth Army arrives."
The chief of staff said: "Deputy Commander Luo sent a telegram saying that Li Lei's new 1st Brigade has been urgently transferred to Wanjialing.
With the new 1st Brigade here, I believe that Wanjialing will not have much of a problem holding it. ”
Li Lei's new 1st Brigade?
The tiger cub chewed it.
If this unit went, he was really relieved.
But where is Nanshan?
There were also two wings of the Japanese army there.
The new 1st Brigade went to Wanjialing, what if the Japanese army suddenly launched an attack on Nanshan?
"Li Lei said that in Nanshan, he put a company of troops."
"A company?" Tiger Boy looked at the chief of staff: "This Li Lei, isn't it Hu Lai?" The strength of one company is too small. There were two wings of the Japanese army there. ”
The chief of staff said: "I reminded Li Lei, but he said that there will be absolutely no problem. Earlier in the evening, his troops had just attacked the two wings.
It is estimated that the two wings now do not dare to take the initiative to attack Nanshan. ”
He took the initiative to attack?
Tiger Boy tilted his head and thought for a while, if this is the case, then the possibility of the two wings of the Japanese army attacking Nanshan is really much smaller.
He smiled bitterly, this Li Lei, his combat style is very bold.
Li Lei led his troops on a hurried march.
Halfway through, he received a telegram from Zhou Weiguo, saying that Jun Takeshita's special combat team had been completely wiped out.
But Jun Takeshita ran away.
Jun Takeshita ran away?
For this result, Li Lei was a little dissatisfied.
The last thing you should run away is Jun Takeshita.
This time he ran away, and he will be busy in the future.
But, run away.
Lao Zhou must have done his best.
Moreover, Jun Takeshita's special combat team is gone.
It will be very difficult for him to form another such force in a short period of time.
At least for a few months, you don't have to think about Jun Takeshita.
Li Lei ordered Zhou Weiguo to immediately set off with the independent regiment to Wanjialing.
After reaching Wanjialing, he launched an attack from the flank.
Reduce the pressure on the defense of frontal troops.
At this time, Wanjialing has become a powder keg for explosions.
The fight was unusually tragic.
In order to hold the last line of defense, the 110th Division and the division headquarters guard company were all dispatched.
The whole line of defense is very close.
The Japanese offensive never stopped.
The Japanese troops, rushing up, were beaten down. Rushed up again, and was beaten down again.
Repeatedly.
Just white-knuckle battles, I fought several times.
