The 1st Brigade of the 111th Brigade of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, at the foot of Biandan Mountain, in the position of the three battalions of the three dogs, lost a squadron, and made the captain Sakurai angry to death. &1t;/p>

But there was no good way to rescue it, the position was long and narrow and could not be used to exert troops, and the follow-up reinforcements were held back by more troops of the Chinese army. &1t;/p>

It's a bit hard to accept that the attacking troops actually let the defending troops wrap dumplings and eat them, and they are also the vanguard of the Japanese army. Generally, the pioneers are elite troops, and even if they are not, they will not be very bad. &1t;/p>

The next day, September 29, the Japanese army launched another large-scale attack, starting with uncreative aircraft bombing, mountain artillery sweeping, and then an infantry squad of 50 or so people in an echelon charge. &1t;/p>

However, this time the Japanese army aimed the direction of attack at the second battalion of the O5 regiment, that is, the left flank position of the third battalion of the three dogs, and the second battalion used to be the defense area of the 58th Division of the 74th Army, which was close to Zhang Gushan. &1t;/p>

The Japanese army still wants to open a gap on this side of Biandan Mountain, and if they attack Zhanggu Mountain from a high place, they can open the gap in Wanjialing. &1t;/p>

After crossing Zhanggu Mountain, it is the highway from Wuning to De'an, and it is estimated that you can kill De'an in half a day. &1t;/p>

This time, the Japanese army seems to have chosen the right position, and the position of this second battalion happens to be the junction of the 51st Division and the 58th Division. &1t;/p>

Especially when changing guards, at that time in the junction was the most troublesome place, because of the different defense areas, each unit had its own one-acre and three-point land, and they did not dare to leave their own defense areas easily. &1t;/p>

In addition, the different superiors of each country cannot unify their operational thinking in obeying orders and commands, and sometimes orders are even reversed, resulting in confusion, which will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. &1t;/p>

As for the change of defense, there is nothing to do now, only when the troops are exhausted will someone go up, because the forces of both sides have been used to the limit. &1t;/p>

The First Corps has already transferred all the units that can be used to use them, and there are almost no reserves, only the troops of the second line are waiting to be put on top. &1t;/p>

I don't want to deal with the 1O6 Division at Jinguanqiao before, at that time, because the area of attack by the Japanese army was not large, and the 1st Corps was very redundant. &1t;/p>

Since there is a surplus of troops, it can't be wasted in the mountains, so General Xue Yue will fight the wheels of several corps of the 4th, 8th, 64th, and 7O armies and the 1O6th Division, and he will not be idle for a moment. &1t;/p>

The 1O6 Division was not allowed to have a good life at Jinguanqiao, and even the Japanese army could not sleep well, almost night harassment and night attacks, and even the 74th Division of the 51st Army was pulled over to play. &1t;/p>

Therefore, the 1O6 Division at that time was not tempered at all, extremely tired, when the fatigue was exhausted, General Xue ordered the troops to counterattack, and the 1O6 Division was beaten back again and again at Jinguanqiao. &1t;/p>

If it weren't for the Ninth Division coming to help, it is estimated that the First Corps would have been driven back to Jiujiang, and during that period of continuous wheel fighting, the 1O6 Division lost almost 8,000 people. &1t;/p>

Nearly half of the personnel of the division and regiment were almost beaten to the point of losing the combat effectiveness that a division should have, but fortunately, Shunroku Hata added 5,000 new soldiers to come over, and it can be regarded as slowly recovering a little vitality. &1t;/p>

It was because of this incident that Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, the commander of the 1O6 Division, thought that this was his shame, and he couldn't swallow this breath if he didn't defeat Xue Yue, and he was determined to save face for the 1O6 Division, so he would desperately go deep into Wanjialing. &1t;/p>

However, now Xue Yue really has no reserves in his hands, especially the troops on the front line, they must bear the left and right rush of the 1O6 Division, and wait until the mouth of the bag is slowly tightened, and wait until the Japanese army is exhausted before striking the final blow. &1t;/p>

Before this final blow comes, it is necessary to ensure that this pocket cannot be broken, and once it is broken, then the grand goal of encircling and annihilating a division of the Japanese army will be in vain again like the Battle of Lanfeng. &1t;/p>

The last time in Lanfeng, it was on the plain, and many of the blocking troops could not withstand the impact of the Japanese mechanized troops, so this time there was no need, Xue Yue chose the position in the mountainous area of northern Jiangxi, where the mountains were continuous, and the purpose was to avoid the disadvantages of the plain last time. &1t;/p>

At the same time, in the last Battle of Lanfeng, some generals of the Central Army ignored Xue Yue's orders and retreated without authorization, allowing the 14th Division, a big fish, to escape and join up with other Japanese troops. &1t;/p>

Xue Yue was angry, and directly handed the paper to the Supreme Command, and the Military Commission finally shot several senior generals of the Central Army before the matter was settled. &1t;/p>

With this precedent, regardless of the central army or the local army, these generals were trembling, for fear of being killed by the Military Commission, and they were relatively much more resolute in carrying out orders. &1t;/p>

Especially the troops under Xue Yue, everyone is afraid of this tiger boy, this tiger not only bites devils, but also bites its own people, and it can't be disobedient. &1t;/p>

Therefore, with the failure of the Battle of Lanfeng, there will be the experience and military law of this encirclement and annihilation battle, the troops on the front line cannot retreat without General Xue's order, and whoever dares to retreat will kill his head, this is General Xue's military order in black and white. &1t;/p>

The three armies are life-threatening, and the gold and stone are open. &1t;/p>

So no one will take a step back in any defense zone now, unless they are really beaten to death, or the order comes. &1t;/p>

There is also the junction department, the 51st Division and the 58th Division are generally very harmonious, mainly because the relationship between General Yu Jishi, the commander of the 74th Army, is reconciled here. &1t;/p>

Wang Yaozu, the commander of the 51st Division, has been close to this figure who can reach the sky, and the commander of the 58th Division has long since not let Yu Jishi concurrently serve as a part-time commander, but Feng Shengfa, who was originally a brigade commander in the 88th Division, has been appointed as a brigade commander. &1t;/p>

This General Feng Shengfa was originally the husband of Yu Jishi's wife's sister, and he was considered a brother-in-law, and when Yu Jishi was the commander of the 88th Division, the two were together. &1t;/p>

General Yu came to the 58th Division, and later formed the 74th Army with the 51st Division, so he pulled General Feng over and became the commander of the 58th Division. &1t;/p>

Speaking of which, why the combat effectiveness of the 88th Division of the Imperial Forest Army has dropped so much, in addition to the crippled Songhu and Nanjing, there is also a big reason, which is related to Yu Jishi. &1t;/p>

The 88th Division is his old unit, but since he formed the 58th Division, he has constantly pulled people from the 88th Division, such as Liao Lingqi, who later became the commander of the 58th Division and was shot. &1t;/p>

There is also Cai Renjie, the commander of the engineer battalion of the 88th Division, who fought bravely in the defense of Nanjing, and the commander of the 58th Regiment of the 44th Division, and others include Chen Shizheng, He Lingxiao and others. &1t;/p>

The middle and high-level officers of the 88th Division were hollowed out by Yu Jishi, and if they really came to collect wool from a sheep, they were almost gone. &1t;/p>

However, for the 58th Division, after the generals at all levels from the 88th Division of the "German Armament Division" were enriched to the 58th Division, which was composed of the Zhejiang Security Regiment and the remnants of the old warlords, the combat effectiveness of the 58th Division was quickly improved, and the 58th Division became a strong force among the divisions of the National Army. &1t;/p>

Therefore, the troops of the 58th Division were basically controlled by Yu Jishi, and Wang Yaozu of the 51st Division had followed Yu Jishi closely, so that the 74th Army was in command and the two divisions were rarely discounted in the execution of the orders of the military headquarters. &1t;/p>

It is precisely because of this that the junction of these two divisions was very reassuring to Commander Yu, and before the war, the commanders of the troops on both sides of the junction were mobilized to hold a meeting, and they were not allowed to preserve their strength for any reason. &1t;/p>

On 29 September, the day after the Japanese army attacked the 74th Army's defense area, the focus of the battle was shifted to the junction of the 51st and 58th Divisions, close to Zhanggushan, and it would certainly be difficult for the Japanese army to make a profit. (To be continued)&1t;/p>
