Later, General Xue Yue learned his lesson, no longer believed in the Central Army, and like Li Zhongren, used a combination of the descendant army and the miscellaneous army plus the Central Army.

It also avoided the plain area suitable for the operation of the Japanese mechanized troops, and mobilized his hometown troops, the Guangdong Army, as well as other signboards and the Central Army, in Wanjialing, Jiujiang, to finally encircle the 106th Division in the mountains and mountains.

It took more than a dozen divisions and more than 100,000 people to send reinforcements and encircle and annihilate, and finally destroyed the 106th Division, only to kill the division commander, which is a little regrettable.

But in terms of results, it can be said that it is already very good, and the Chinese army can also surround a division of the Japanese army and encircle and annihilate it, which is simply a mythical existence in the era of the disparity in strength between China and Japan.

Now General Xue's deputy, General Luo, also wants to replicate the victory of Wanjialing, but the difficulty is much more than the battle of Wanjialing, first of all, this time the Japanese army has two and a half divisions.

At present, there are about 20,000 people in one and a half divisions in the encirclement, which is more than the number of the 106th division in Wanjialing, and at the same time, it is necessary to take into account the reinforcement of another 33rd division.

Secondly, in the area of Shanggaogao'an, it belongs to the plain area, and there are some mountains and hills at most, and the geographical location is not as good as Wanjialing.

In the end, in addition to the most elite of the 74th Army, only the 70th Army, the Central Army composed of the Hunan Army, was left, the 49th Army was the Northeast Army, and the 72nd Army was the Sichuan Army.

In the Battle of Wanjialing, there were also the 74th, 70th, and 72nd armies, as well as a division of the Northeast Army and a division of the Henan Army, but there were two more armies of the 4th and 66th armies, the most powerful of the Guangdong Army.

It can be seen from this that both General Xue at the Ninth Theater Headquarters in Changsha and General Luo at Shanggao have uncertain confidence in whether they will be able to encircle and annihilate one and a half divisions of the Japanese army in this Shanggao battle.

Don't say it's encirclement and annihilation, it's already difficult to encircle and repel the enemy army, and now it's the 34th Division of the Japanese army that is crazy and rushes up.

The 57th and 58th Divisions, the most elite infantry divisions of the Chinese army, could not be stopped, and retreated all the way from Sixi and Guanqiao to the side of Shanggaojing Mountain.

If they really succeeded, they would have been able to surround the Japanese army in Gao'an a long time ago, and they would not have been driven by tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers all the way to a place where they could no longer retreat.

In view of these, the Luo headquarters also became ruthless, demanding that the 74th Army show the prestige of the strategic attack force, show the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, and fight with the Japanese army in the end.

Therefore, the commander of the third battalion, Sangou, learned in the positional battle between the seventh company and a squadron of the Japanese army that he wanted to fight for his life with the Japanese army.

The tactics of fighting for life were used to stifle the advance of the Japanese army, and the means of fighting for life were used to consume the enemy's vital forces to the greatest extent.

As a commander, as a battalion commander who worked hard to build the third battalion into an elite infantry battalion, it was indeed difficult for Sangou to accept this military order psychologically.

Sangou believes that the 3rd Battalion and even the 51st Division and the 74th Army have already occupied the advantageous terrain of Jingshan, so why bother to fight with the Japanese army, it is better to slowly grind the Japanese army here.

Anyway, the Japanese army has now started from March 15 to today's 24th, which is 10 days, and the food and ammunition are almost exhausted.

Although there is a supply line to replenish it halfway, but now the back has been cut off by the 70th Army, and in a few more days, the little devils will eat soil, what else to fight with the elite division of the 74th Army?

Even if there is an airdrop supply, but this has been tried in Wanjialing, it can only be a drop in the bucket, and it can't save the large army, besides, the Chinese army on the side is not vegetarian, and it will not watch the Japanese army get the airdrop supply smoothly.

As long as the enemy's encirclement is slowly compressed, and the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns made and aided by the Soviet Union and the United States can be expelled, most of the Japanese planes can be expelled, and the Japanese army's supplies will be less and less, and finally there will be no bullets, depending on how they fight.

When the Japanese army couldn't stand it anymore and began to retreat, these dozen or so Chinese divisions could attack from all directions, chasing and killing the devils who lacked food and ammunition, and what was the difference between chasing and killing some routed soldiers who were half starved to death?

But a person of Sangou's level, even if he told the regiment commander this, what is the use, this kind of voice can't reach the division and army level at all, and even if it does, the division commander and the army commander can't influence and formulate such tactics.

Liu Guangyu could only appease Sangou, it may be that the Luo headquarters was worried about the long nights and dreams, and General Luo looked like a Confucian general who focused on stability, and did not dare to gamble with hundreds of thousands of troops and the strategic place of Shanggao.

If you can resist the Japanese army one day earlier, and encircle and annihilate the Japanese army one day earlier, everything will be fine, not to mention that the Japanese army that surrounds one and a half divisions and regiments will fight a long-term siege war, even if the Japanese army encircles a wing, it will not be able to fight.

At that time, as soon as a large number of Japanese reinforcements on the other side of Jiujiang arrived, the relatively balanced war situation in northern Jiangxi would be broken, and the place where General Luo relied for survival and promotion would be gone.

Therefore, Sangou can only understand the decision of the top in this way, whether it is the Anti-Japanese War or the United Front, although everyone says that it is necessary to start from the overall situation, it is inevitable that there can be no selfishness, no way.

Sangou can only passively accept the fight with the Japanese army now, fight, destroy the three battalions, as long as he does not die, he can build a new three battalions, maybe after this forging of blood and fire, the combat effectiveness of the three battalions has risen to another level.

When he was a platoon commander and company commander, how many times was used as a sacrifice as cannon fodder, not to let himself survive, but also to pull out an infantry battalion.

In the final analysis, the survival of the fittest on the battlefield, the powerful, even if they are cannon fodder, can survive, and they are getting more and more powerful, and the immortal veterans escaped from death in this way, and they can't forge an iron-blooded army on the training ground every day.

As soon as he thought of this, Sangou no longer felt sorry for his subordinates, let them all out, and fight to the death with the devil, in the battalion command post of Jingshan, Sangou and Xiucai both held binoculars and looked at the scene of the stabbing like the Shura field under the mountain.

In fact, on the position of more than ten miles long outside Jingshan, the three divisions of the 74th Army are sending a large number of infantry to engage in white-knuckle battles with the Japanese army.

Thousands of bayonets, scorching and shining in the white sun of the morning, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth, which felt not a battle, but a human cannibalism.

For what, exactly? For what? will let so many people, with the most advanced killing weapons of this era, kill each other, and die one after another in this originally peaceful land.

Just to invade and occupy China, Japan wants to let the lives of the Chinese and Japanese soldiers suffer, which is really not a barbaric practice of modern people.

And the sons and daughters of China, in order to defend the country, face the beast soldiers, face the invaders, go forward one after another, even if they don't want to die, they are afraid of death, they dare to face it, dare to die, this is the sublimation of the human spirit.

Compared with the Japanese, who stepped into modern civilization one step ahead of schedule, we Chinese, at least at this time, are spiritually more civilized than the Japanese.
