Counterattack on Jilong Mountain? ”

"The plan is good, but as you said, we don't have enough troops. I have long heard that you are very bold, but now that you look at it, it is indeed a little. ”

Luo Guangwen praised.

"Sir, if you want to counterattack Jilong Mountain, you are willing to personally participate in the attack." Qiu Xingxiang asked for battle.

In the 18th Division, he was actually pressed by Leng Jie, a junior, not to mention how aggrieved he was, so he naturally wanted to show his strength.

"Don't worry, this matter still needs to be reported to the military department, with our 18th Division alone, even if we defeat Jilong Mountain, it will be difficult to defend." Luo Guangwen shook his head, "If it's a counterattack, I must let Brigade Commander Qiu go to the front." ”

Obviously, after accepting the defense of Fuchikou, Luo Guangwen also planned to burn three fires, the first one had already been burned, and the second one was the Japanese army.

Subsequently, Luo Guangwen personally reported the counteroffensive plan to the theater command, and at this time, the entire Wuhan battle did not achieve a big victory.

Although thousands of Japanese troops were killed and wounded in the Zhupo Mountain position, after all, it was only a brigade's record, and it lasted for a long time and was small in scale, which could not boost morale.

So after Chen Cheng saw Luo Guangwen's plan, he was also very moved, he couldn't take out more than 100,000 troops now, but four or five divisions were not a problem.

So he took Guan Linzheng as the commander-in-chief of this counterattack, and Huo Yuzhang as the deputy commander-in-chief, and gathered a total of 9 divisions of the 52nd Army, the 53rd Army, the 54th Army, the 92nd Army, and the 98th Army.

Among them, the 52nd Army dispatched the 2nd Division and the 25th Division, the 53rd Army dispatched the 116th Division and the 130th Division, the 54th Army dispatched the 14th Division and the 18th Division, the 92nd Army dispatched the 21st Division and the 95th Division, and the 98th Army dispatched the 82nd Division.

Nominally there were 8 divisions, but in fact the 2nd, 14th, 18th, 21st, 25th, 82nd, and 95th divisions were all damaged to varying degrees.

It was the 53rd Army, which had previously defended in the rear and did not participate in the battle.

Considering that the loss of troops of the 18th Division was not small, Chen Cheng specially transferred the 116th Division, which was subordinate to the 53rd Army, to the command of the 18th Division.

This is a problem, Luo Guangwen is just the acting commander of the 18th Division, but he gave Luo Guangwen the command of the 116th Division, which is the same infantry division.

In fact, it is the discrimination of the Central Army against miscellaneous brands, and at the same time, there is also discrimination against the Northeast Army.

The Northeast Army is not having a good time now, and my father doesn't love my mother, but it's no wonder who is.

The advantage of having the 116th Division under the command of the 18th Division is that they have a better chance of counterattacking Jilong Mountain.

"Master Luo, Zhou has a doubt, that is, how to capture Jilong Mountain? The Japanese have artillery stationed here, and they must be well defended, so in such a situation, it will be difficult for us to attack. Zhou Fucheng, commander of the 116th Division, asked.

"If the 116th Division is afraid, then follow behind our 52nd Brigade." Qiu Xingxiang scoffed.

"What does Brigadier Qiu mean?" was said by a lieutenant colonel acting brigade commander, Zhou Fucheng's face was also a little unpleasant.

As a soldier, there are not so many roundabouts, and there are expressions on his face.

Leng Jie couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Northeast Army was really not welcomed anywhere, but it was not his turn to be a small lieutenant colonel to take care of this matter.

"Attacking Jilong Mountain naturally has an internal response." Leng Jie spoke in time and explained with everyone's curiosity, "A few days ago, I sent two companies of troops to Jilong Mountain, which should be in the tunnels of Jilong Mountain at present.

If we launch an attack on Jilong Mountain, the small units of these two companies will be able to cooperate with the attack of the frontal troops. ”

"Brigadier Leng, are you sure these two companies are still holding out?" Luo Guangwen said in a deep voice.

"No problem, these two companies are built with humble dedication, equipped with a lot of German submachine guns, light machine guns and grenadiers, and if they are engaged, they are comparable to an infantry battalion." Leng Jie assured.

"German submachine guns? Where did you get it? Luo Guangwen asked curiously.

"Nanjing, in the armory of the three major German armoury divisions before, after they retreated, the lowly troops took over the armory, and these submachine guns were all armory." Leng Jie explained.

Luo Guangwen suddenly realized that it was the armory of the three major moral armor divisions, no wonder.

It's a pity that the three German armament divisions withdrew too quickly at that time, and the losses were huge, so it was too late to transport the ordnance materials here.

"If that's the case, then that's fine." Luo Guangwen nodded, "To attack Jilong Mountain, we must guard against reinforcements from the Japanese army." Moreover, there are still many Japanese troops near Zhu Po Mountain, and we must find a way to contain the Japanese troops here.

Brigade Commander Leng, you have a lot of combat experience with the Japanese army, so this task of attracting the attention of the Japanese army will be handed over to your 54th Brigade. ”

Just when Leng Jie wanted to speak, Luo Guangwen continued, "I know that your 54th Brigade has lost more than half. I'll transfer a regiment from the 116th Division to you for command, but I just need you to attract the attention of the Japanese army, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right? ”

Leng Jie immediately saluted, "Rest assured, sir, the task will be completed." ”

Luo Guangwen nodded and looked at Zhou Fucheng, "Master Zhou, this should be fine, right?" ”

Although Zhou Fucheng was a little dissatisfied, he still nodded, "No problem." ”

After Zhou Fucheng did not object, Luo Guangwen continued, "After the 54th Brigade attracted the attention of the Japanese army, the 52nd Brigade and a brigade of the 116th Division acted as the main offensive force and attacked Jilong Mountain at night. ”

。。。。。。

On the night of October 1, the headquarters of the Japanese army Hatian detachment.

In the past two days, Hamada Shigeichi has always been a little uncertain, and he is also a little irritable about the current battle situation.

His troops were held back at Zhu Po Mountain, unable to move forward, and although they conquered some of the heights and tunnels, most of the positions on Zhu Po Mountain were still in the hands of the Chinese army.

The 1st Wing, which lost a wing captain here, and lost nearly half of it, made Shigeichi Harata feel distressed.

In the west, the attack of the 18th Brigade of the 9th Division was also quite unsmooth, and it was resisted by the 52nd Army and the 92nd Army of the Chinese Army, and the losses were not small.

At this time, if there were reinforcements, the deadlock might be broken, but the 27th, 101st, and 106th divisions were stuck in a stalemate on the Nanxun Road and could not support the battlefield west of Ruichang.

And at the Zhupo Mountain position, the night attack of the Chinese army also gave Hakuda Shigeichi a headache, even if it was a tight defense, there would be a lot of losses.

The Chinese army was like a desperate one, and when they saw his troops, they attacked frantically, and at night, they didn't know how to defend at all.

Just as Shigeichi Habata was studying how to break the game, in the position of the 1st Wing in the north, a violent cannon sound suddenly sounded.

"What's going on?"

Even across the mountain, Habata Shigeichi could hear the sound of artillery coming from the north side of the mountain, and he hurriedly put down the pen in his hand and asked.

Soon, a staff officer hurriedly ran over, stood upright in front of him, nodded, and said, "Your Excellency Captain Qiqi, the 1st Wing has sent a telegram that they have been heavily shelled by the Chinese army, and that the Chinese army in the Zhupo Mountain position has suddenly launched a fierce attack on the 1st Wing. ”

"Nani?"

Shigeichi Hauda was a little surprised, and at the same time puzzled, he did not understand why the Chinese army suddenly launched an active attack.

Previous attacks were small-scale sneak attacks, but this time it was a large-scale counteroffensive.

Until this side of Jilong Mountain is attacked more fiercely!
