Chapter 223: Counterattack on Jilong Mountain (7)

Ran away? ”

Seeing that the Japanese fighter he was pursuing did not want to flank Zhou Zhikai, but fled into the distance, Han Bin was also a little surprised.

Han Bin still thinks that this Japanese army is going to fight him again?

Aren't the Japanese army all brainwashed by the spirit of bushido? Why are you still afraid of death?

Iwamoto Tetsuzo was actually helpless, he knew that there was only one way to die if he continued, so he chose to find a substitute for the dead ghost, and then fled.

Iwamoto Tetsuzo's escape undoubtedly put the Japanese pilot who was betrayed by him into a desperate situation, and he was shot down by Zhou Zhikai after a while.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the other Japanese fighters chose to retreat one after another, and because of the need to cover the bombers, Han Bin and others did not continue to pursue, but shifted the target to the battlefield on the ground to provide some support for the ground troops.

To tell the truth, after seeing their own fighters appear and defeat the Japanese fighters, the morale of the Chinese army can be described as a great boost.

For a time, the Chinese troops on the ground were like divine help, and they were all fearless of death and launched a frantic attack on the Japanese army.

The Japanese army was also shocked by the attack of the Chinese army, and they fought very hard, and at the same time scolded the air force for not being human, and was actually beaten away by the Chinese army.

Although the Aviation Committee dispatched fighters to support the battlefield at Jilong Mountain, it did not play a big role, and with the arrival of the 9th Brigade of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army the next day, the Japanese army had more troops in their hands.

Fortunately, the 60th Army, a reinforcement of the Chinese army, also arrived.

At present, the entire battlefield is still in a stalemate, the Japanese army has no troops to send at this time, at this time Guan Linzheng is also planning how to break the situation, with the 3 divisions of the 60th Army, it is not good to plan, obviously some unreasonable.

But about how to use these three divisions, Guan Linzheng and Huo Yuzhang quarreled, and the reason was very simple.

Guan Linzheng wanted to put 3 divisions on the front of Ruiwu Road and tear apart the defensive line of the Japanese 9th Division in front, which could also relieve the pressure on the 52nd Army and the 92nd Army under him.

Strictly speaking, the pressure is the highest on this side of Chicken Coop Mountain.

The Japanese army attacking here had the Japanese Hatian Detachment, a brigade of the 18th Brigade, and a wing of the 9th Brigade, while the defending Chinese army only had 2 divisions of the 53rd Army and the 18th Division of the 54th Army, and the strength was not strong.

The troops that Guan Lin levied for attacking the Japanese army in front had 6 divisions.

Guan Linzheng clearly wanted to reduce the losses of his troops, but Huo Yuzhang naturally did not do it, thinking that he should launch an attack from the fortress of Fuchikou, cut off the retreat of the Japanese army, and surround the Japanese army on the Ruiwu Road in front of him.

For the use of the 3 elite divisions of the 60th Army, Guan Linzheng and Huo Yuzhang quarreled at the command headquarters, but Guan Linzheng was the commander-in-chief, and Huo Yuzhang did not fight.

In the end, the 3 divisions of the 60th Army were put into the frontal battlefield.

For this reason, Huo Yuzhang was also very angry, and directly stabbed Chen Cheng for this, but the latter could not interfere with Guan Linzheng's command at this time, and there was no other way than to appease Huo Yuzhang with good words.

Don't think about it, because of this, the generals of the 54th Army had a conflict with Guan Linzheng's side.

At this time, the so-called three major factions of the Central Army in later generations had not really formed.

With the exception of the civil engineering faction, several other factions are weak.

Hu Zongnan's system was expanded on the basis of the 1st Army, and now it has a prototype, but the real formation can only be regarded as Hu Zongnan as the commander-in-chief of the group army.

Tang Enbo's department, now also has a prototype, it serves as the commander-in-chief of the 31st Group Army, but the number of troops is not much, only the 13th Army and the 98th Army under his command, it has become one of the three major factions, and it has to be stationed in Henan to start.

At this time, because the generals of the Huangpu faction were all at a similar starting point, there were also many small factions, such as Guan Linzheng, Li Yutang, Dong Zhao, Du Yuming, Wang Yaowu and others, who either had the prototype of the faction or were still working hard.

Some of these people have been swallowed up by the three major factions in history, some have been excluded, and some have survived alone.

But that's all for later.

However, at present, because of the affairs of the 60th Army, the generals of the 54th Army led by Huo Yuzhang are very dissatisfied with Guan Linzheng.

Luo Guangwen learned that none of the 3 divisions of the 60th Army were assigned to the Jipo Mountain position, and he was also angry.

Qiu Xingxiang even scolded Guan Linzheng at the brigade headquarters for being too selfish.

Scolding and scolding, but it is definitely impossible to give up this side of Ji Po Mountain.

The 18th Division has lost a lot of troops for this position, and there are not many troops left even on the side of the Fuchikou Fortress.

If you give up like this, the sacrifice made by the 18th Division before will be in vain.

"This Guan Lin Zheng is too selfish, so that the troops of our 3 divisions will be sad and carry the main attack of the Japanese army."

After learning that there were no reinforcements, Wang Yanqing also complained at the headquarters that Guan Linzheng had done too much.

Wang Lihuan of the 696th Regiment of the Northeast Army is okay here, but there are also complaints.

Now that their enemy had an extra brigade, the encirclement of the remnants of the 1st Wing of the Japanese Hatada Detachment was also somewhat unstable.

The current situation is that either they are desperately trying to hold on, or they are letting go of the Japanese troops in the encirclement.

After paying thousands of casualties, no one is willing to give up like this.

If the 3 divisions of the 60th Army could come to one division, even if it was a brigade, they would be able to eat the encircled Japanese army.

At that time, they could crush the Japanese army in front of them, kill the flank of the Japanese army, and then cut off the retreat of the Japanese army, and a larger encirclement was formed.

But now there is not even a single soldier's assistance, and it is impossible to surround the Japanese army in front of you.

Seeing that such an opportunity to eat the Japanese army was lost in front of him, Leng Jie felt a little pity in his heart.

But he can't help it, who made him just an acting brigade commander, if he is a division commander or army commander, this encirclement can be completely formed.

In fact, at this time, the Japanese 11th Army had no troops to send, and with the strength of 12 divisions, even if it could not completely annihilate the Japanese 9th Division and the Hatian Detachment, it could still inflict heavy losses on the two Japanese troops with considerable losses, so that the two Japanese armies temporarily lost their offensive capability.

But these can only be thought about.

The Japanese army is not without reinforcements, and there are at least two divisions in the hands of the Japanese Central China Dispatch Army that have not been dispatched, and if a Japanese division appears again on the battlefield on the south bank of the Yangtze River, it will really be impossible to fight.

"At this time, there is no good way to do it except to continue to hold on, so I can only hope that the Japanese army can be quickly defeated head-on." Wang Lihuan shook his head and said.

"You can't fight like this, you have to find a way to break the game." Leng Jie shook his head and said.

"Breaking the game? Brigade Commander Leng, now that we are struggling to defend, how can we break the game? "Wang Lihuan doesn't understand.

"Find a way to find the command of the Japanese army and knock them out, maybe we can disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, otherwise when the frontal army defeats the Japanese army, even if we can hold on, we will suffer a lot of losses." Leng Jie said in a deep voice.

"Finish off the Japanese command? Will this work? Wang Lihuan hesitated, he really hadn't done this.
