Chapter 300: Fierce Battle Fan Homestead

Yaga, what's going on? ”

Shocked by the sound of artillery, Morizaburo Takaya hurriedly sat up from the marching bed, ran out of the house with his coat on, and saw that the camp was already in chaos.

Soon, the shouts of the enemy attack rang out.

There were gunshots in several directions, and they were all dense, and Morizaburo Takaya didn't know where the situation was.

Boom Boom!

Violent explosions continued to sound, and a large number of mortar shells and shells from the 92nd infantry artillery fell into the Japanese camp in Fanjiayuan.

There were already weapons and ammunition that the Japanese army had sent to the front line, and when these shells were blown up, some of the ammunition was directly blown up and shot in all directions.

Moreover, gunshots were heard from several directions, accompanied by the explosion of artillery shells, and Morizaburo Takaya thought that there were many Chinese troops attacking Fan's homeland, so he hurriedly asked for help from the division headquarters.

。。。。。。

Luo Jiang, the headquarters of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, Shiro Inaba was waiting for news from the front line at this time.

Although there were more than 20,000 Japanese troops on the south bank of the Miluo River, the 6th Wing of the 23rd Division and the Shangcun Detachment fell into an ambush circle of the 14th and 50th Divisions of the 54th Army at Sanjieqiao and Liqiao; More than 1,000 people of the 3rd Division were ambushed by the 195th Division in Fulinpu and were all severely damaged.

On the evening of the 28th, more than 3,000 people of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, which went south from Xinshi through Jinjing, were ambushed by two divisions of the 52nd Army at Shimenchen.

At this glance, it seems that there is no good news, and the whole attack is in a quagmire.

At this time, the Nara detachment also did not open up contact with the 33rd Division, which was stunned by the Chinese army in the Makufu Mountain, which can be described as an embarrassment.

At this time, Shiro Inaba was also a little anxious.

From Okamura Ninji's order, he guessed that this Changsha operation might just be a feint, otherwise it would not have prevented his entire division from moving south.

If the 33rd Division could not get out of trouble, then the 6th Division and several other small units alone would not be able to break through the defense line of the Chinese army.

But at this time, Takaya Shouzaburo sent a telegram, saying that Fan Jiayuan was attacked by a division of the Chinese army.

"Nani? How did the Chinese army appear in the Van homeland? Could it be that the Guiyi army crossed the Miluo River? "The first thing that came to mind was the Chinese army that returned to righteousness.

"Your Excellency the division commander, it should not be the Guiyi Zhina army, on the other side of Guiyi, we have sent troops to guard, if there is any change in the Guiyi Zhina army, the division headquarters should get the news in advance." Chief of Staff Kozaburo Ishikawa explained.

"Then where did you say the Chinese army that attacked Fan's homeland came from? Why didn't we get any news and the aviation forces didn't find out? Thinking that it might be a mistake by the aviation force, Shiro Inaba became angry.

Ishikawa Kozaburo looked at the location of Fan Jiayuan, thought of something, and his face changed suddenly, "Your Excellency Division Commander, Fan Jiayuan is located on the retreat route of the imperial army, if this place is captured by the Chinese people, the retreat of the imperial army to the north will be cut off by the Chinese army." ”

"Nani?" Only then did Inaba Shiro realize the importance of Fan's location, "Did the Shina army intend to attack, or did it happen deliberately?" ”

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, if you do it deliberately, the situation facing the Imperial Army will suffer. Could it be that the people of China guessed the intentions of the imperial army, so they planned to capture the Fan homeland, thus cutting off the retreat of the imperial army? Kozaburo Ishikawa guessed.

"Quite possibly!" Inaba Shiro nodded, "Order the 47th Wing to immediately reinforce the Fan homeland, be sure to recapture this place, and ensure that the rear roads of the imperial army are unblocked." ”

"Hey!"

Kozaburo Ishikawa paused.

Similarly, the news was also received by the Commander's Department of the Ninth Theater.

However, they did not know that the 40th Division had crossed the Miluo River, but the defenders stationed in Guiyi sent a telegram, saying that they had found an exchange of fire in Jiangbei and asked if they wanted reinforcements.

Li Jue, the commander of the 70th Army, thought that the commander's department had sent troops to the north bank for a sneak attack.

Seeing the report of the 70th Army, Xue Laohu also felt inexplicable, he didn't send troops to Jiangbei.

"What the hell is going on? Why are there our people in the north? Which troop exactly? ”

"I don't know, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be our army in the north at this time. However, the 70th Army reported that the fighting on the north bank was fierce, and at least thousands of people fought with the devils. Wu Yizhi was also a little puzzled.

"Could it be that the remnants of the 52nd Army or the 37th Army have not been withdrawn?" Xue Laohu guessed.

Soon, the Ninth Theater Commander's Department sent a report to Guan Lin for verification, but the latter said that it did not exist because their troops had basically withdrawn.

And if there were thousands of remnants, how could the Japanese army not have found out before.

"Could it be that which unit violated the military order and crossed the Miluo River without authorization?" Zhao Zili guessed.

Xue Laohu felt that it was very likely, "What are our troops around here?" ”

"According to the defense area, the troops in this vicinity are mainly the 70th Army and the 99th Army." Wu Yizhi said.

"There are also two troops, the 40th Division, which is attacking Yingtian, and the 95th Division, which was previously holding Yingtian." Zhao Zili added.

"40 and 95 divisions?" Xue Laohu frowned, thinking of that Leng Jie, "Won't it be the 40th Division?" ”

The 40th Division was near Yingtian, not far from the Miluo River, and it was not impossible to cross the Miluo River at night.

"The 40th Division is now attacking Yingtian, how can there be so many troops going to the north bank to attack the Japanese army? And the strength of his division went to the north bank, didn't he go into the mouth of a tiger? Wu Yizhi felt that it was impossible.

At this time, a staff officer came over with a telegram and handed it to Zhao Zili, whose face changed slightly.

"Sir, the telegram of the 54th Army is really the 40th Division."

"What's going on?" Xue Laohu said in a deep voice.

The telegram said that Leng Jie, deputy commander of the 40th Division, led a regiment and a special battalion of more than 3,000 people to cross the Miluo River at night.

They found that the Japanese artillery units, tank units, and wounded soldiers were all retreating northward, and suspected that the purpose of the Japanese army's operation was only to seize Nanchang, and the attack on Changsha was just a pretense.

The Japanese artillery and tank units retreated northward, indicating that the Japanese army did not intend to attack Changsha, but was preparing to retreat.

So that the commander's department can make a decision early and cut off the retreat of the Japanese army! ”

"40th Division, Leng Jie? Is it that he said before that the target of the Japanese army may be Nanchang? Xue Laohu suddenly remembered something.

"It's him, I really don't know how he guessed it, we didn't expect the Japanese army to attack Nanchang. I don't know, I think that the battle plan of the Japanese army was formulated by him! Wu Yizhi couldn't help but be a little surprised.

If Xue Laohu still refused to believe what Leng Jie had mentioned before, but now that the Japanese army had attacked Nanchang, but the attack was slow on the Changsha side, he naturally had doubts about the true intentions of the Japanese army.

Could it be that the Japanese army was only a feint attack on the Changsha side?
