In September of the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939), the Japanese army began to attack Changsha with the 6th, 33rd, 101st, 106th divisions and the 3rd and 13th divisions, with more than 100,000 people, known as the "First Battle of Changsha".

Among them, the 101st and 106th divisions belonged to the Japanese army in northern Jiangxi, and they had two preparations: one was to start from northern Jiangxi and attack in the east and northeast of Changsha to respond to the main force of the Japanese army north of Changsha.

On the other hand, if it cannot smoothly cross the northern Jiangxi region, it will also contain a large number of troops in the northern Jiangxi region of the Ninth Theater.

For example, there are the 74th and 49th armies of the First Group Army that remained in northern Jiangxi, the 58th and 60th armies of the 19th Group Army, and the 7th and 78th armies of the 30th Group Army.

The 106th Division of the Japanese Army first launched an attack on the 184th Division of the 60th Army stationed in the northern part of Gao'an, in the town of Fengxin Huibu, and soon broke through the position.

At the same time, the Japanese 101st Division launched an attack on the big town east of Gao'an, and General Luo Zhuoyin of the 9th Theater immediately ordered the 51st Division of the 74th Army to march to Shangfu to block the 106th Division from Huibu.

The 58th Division of the 74th Army set out from Shanggao and rushed to Gao'an to help the 58th Army block the 101st Division of the Japanese Army coming from the direction of Gao'an.

At this time, the 101st Brigade of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army had occupied the Xiangfuguan position in the northeast of Gao'an, and was connected with the Huibu in the north of Gao'an, forming a semi-encirclement of the 58th and 60th armies.

The 58th and 60th armies could not support it and had to abandon Gao'an, and the main force retreated, and after the 74th Army withstood the Japanese army in the Huibu area with other troops, the 51st Division turned around and marched towards Gao'an, launching another battle to recover Gao'an.

The officer training course of the 74th Army had only been held for a few months, and it was immediately stopped, all officers and sergeants returned to their respective units, and the company commanders and platoon commanders of the third battalion were also reorganized.

This time, it was heading towards Gao'an again, where the 101st Division of the Japanese army had already fought several battles, and both sides were bitter masters of the other side.

Gao'an is a place where there are no mountains around and no big rivers around, so it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so China and Japan will go in and out, and they will change hands several times.

However, Gao'an is also on the main transportation road from Nanchang to Jiangxi to Hunan, so no matter how easy it is to attack or difficult to defend, no matter whether it is China and Japan, it must be defended.

Due to the unique reasons of location and topography, Gao'an is destined to go through many wars. Just like a beauty, even if it's not her own intention, she will be involved in the entanglement of multiple men.

In line with the principle of being familiar with the position, this time the 51st Division still attacked the west gate of Gao'an, and this time it was different from the last time, when it took the initiative to counterattack Nanchang, and the Japanese army was the main defender.

This time, in turn, the Japanese army took the initiative to attack northern Jiangxi to fight Changsha, while Zhong** went to fight Gao'an, which was a passive defense strategically, but an active offensive defense tactically.

On the battlefield of northern Jiangxi in the Ninth War Zone, every other defensive point was a turnip and a pit, and the 58th, 60th, 3rd, 49th, 7th, and 78th armies were all guarding their respective defense areas.

Only the 74th Army has no defensive tasks, it belongs to the general reserve of the theater, it is not only a firefighting team, but also the main attacker, this time it belongs to strategic defense, so it acts as a firefighting team, and takes the initiative to attack Gao'an, similar to encircling Wei to save Zhao, to combat the offensive deployment of the Japanese army.

In fact, the Japanese army also wanted to play such a flower, but the troops were not enough, so they could only concentrate their forces and make cone-shaped tactics, in order to break through a little and open the front line.

In the face of the enemy's tactics, General Luo Zhuoyin learned the lessons of the previous times, that is, not to confront the Japanese army, to form a number of deep positions on the conical tip of the Japanese army, resist one by one, gradually retreat, and grind with the Japanese army there.

The article was on the periphery, mobilizing the troops that the main force could fight, detouring back to the flank of the Japanese army, and even copying the rear road of the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army did not care about the end of the war, and had to withdraw to defend their own lair.

When the Japanese army began to retreat, more peripheral reserve troops were mobilized to encircle, pursue and intercept the Japanese army, and strive to annihilate a large number of retreating Japanese troops within this time.

This is also the tactics summed up by General Xue Yue, commander of the Ninth Theater in the past two years, and the retreat and decisive battle.

It is also based on the characteristics of the Chinese and Japanese armies and the set of tactics explored by taking advantage of the favorable terrain, which is more suitable for the operation of the Japanese army.

Sangou is only a battalion commander now, and he has not been exposed to such high-level decision-making and considerations, of course, when he arrives at this position, he has also begun to slowly understand the strategic and tactical guidelines of the large army.

However, in local battles, it is still necessary for them to carry forward the excellent style of daring to fight and fight, and to dare to fight tough battles with the Japanese army, so that they can accumulate big victories and reverse the unfavorable situation among the many small victories.

This time, in Gao'an City, the Japanese army was relatively empty, and the main troops were transferred to the field troops, and only one reinforced wing was defending the city.

This reinforced wing was the Saeda Detachment of the 101st Division, which was obviously unable to resist the 51st Division and the 3rd Army, which were familiar with the terrain, in Gaoan, of which the 3rd Army was originally the unit guarding Gaoan.

The 51st Division had already entered and exited Gao'an, and the two armies joined forces, concentrated artillery, and bombarded the Japanese city defense positions.

Now in local battles, the most advanced artillery can also bring a huge blow to the Japanese army, but this kind of luxury that is close to regardless of the cost, that is, the 74th Army can afford to consume.

These recruits of the third battalion are very curious to see that their troops are so majestic, and the war turned out to be like this, but the veterans rarely see this kind of scene, and there is a feeling that Lao Tzu has finally become generous.

In the telescope, the three dogs seemed to see their own shadows, the previous embarrassment and unbearable, and now they are all returning to the devil.

Sangou had no pleasure of revenge, no superfluous mercy, only the command that was fully absorbed before the war, and at this moment the 15th Regiment (the 305th Regiment had been renamed the 15th Regiment) was still opposite the Japanese position outside the West Gate of Gao'an.

The three infantry companies of the 3rd Battalion of the 15th Regiment, under the orders of the three dogs, braved the artillery fire and gradually pressed the front forward until they reached the barrage life and death line 300 meters away from the enemy position.

At the same time, the mortars of the machine gun company were also ready, adjusted to shoot Zhu Yuan, and only waited for the order of the battalion commander.

As soon as the artillery fire of the division's artillery battalion was extended, all the infantry of the 15th Regiment rushed towards the out-of-town position outside the west gate of the Japanese army Gao'an City, with a tsunami-like shouting and tsunami.

The same is true for the third battalion, but the third battalion of the three dogs is a little different from others, first of all, when the artillery bombardment of the Japanese army, the third battalion constantly pressed the front very forward, and even the regiment commander was a little anxious, for fear that the soldiers of the third battalion would be injured by their own artillery fire.

In fact, there were really a few injuries, of course, all of them were minor injuries, such as the abrasions of shell fragments and gravel, and a few recruits were nervous, forgot the key to anti-artillery, and were shocked a little injured.

But this small injury was exchanged for a greater benefit, that is, it was close to the enemy, and when charging, it arrived at the Japanese position a few seconds earlier.

Don't underestimate these few seconds, this is the time of life, the time of how many lives to be exchanged for.
