As soon as Zhang Fakui's words came out, Su Jin felt a thunder flash in his mind, it seemed that he was really busy and dizzy, how could he forget about it, the Battle of Wanjialing was a battle that left a lot of marks in the Anti-Japanese War.

Su Jin's sudden gaffe made both Zhang Fakui and Zhou Yusheng feel a little strange.

"Captain Su, is there anything wrong with letting you go to support Wanjialing?"

"Ah...... Not...... Nothing ......."

Su Jin said on his lips, but his heart was suspended. As a former senior military commentator, he still did research on this battle, although this battle was a great victory, but the battle was also extremely tragic, although his own security regiment looked good, but it was really not enough to really put into this meat grinder.

Seeing that Su Jin's face became very strange for a moment, Zhang Fakui's face was also a little unsightly, and he said in an aggravated tone: "Commander Su, this matter was decided by Chief Chen and me. ”

The implication of Zhang Fakui's words is that this matter has become a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.

And Zhou Yusheng on the side couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw Su Jin's suddenly solemn expression, could it be that there was something inside here.

After taking a deep breath, Su Jincai said to Zhang Fakui: "Chief Zhang, if you let me go to Wanjialing, it's okay, but the supplies you give are too small, and this battle will definitely not end in three or two days, so the ammunition supply you give is definitely not enough!" ”

Listening to Su Jin's unquestionable tone, Zhang Fakui frowned and said, "Then how much do you want?" ”

Su Jin said without hesitation: "At least 200,000 rounds of ammunition, 20,000 grenades and 1,000 60-caliber mortar shells!" ”

"What? Two hundred thousand rounds of ammunition, and twenty thousand grenades! And mortar shells? You think the arsenal is owned by my family? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fakui almost jumped up. You must know that even the ammunition needed by a division to fight a fierce battle is only that, and a mere security regiment wants so much ammunition, is he opening his mouth widely?

"That's all it takes!" There was an unquestionable flavor in Su Jin's tone: "Chief Zhang, at this time when the defense of Wuhan is fierce, even Chief Xue Yue has to ask for help from our Ninth War Zone, so we can see how fierce the battle is." Do you really think that this battle will not end in three or two days, and once our army's ammunition runs out on the way to the battle, our army may be in danger of being wiped out, and the department will have to take precautions! ”

"This ......" Zhang Fakui was a little speechless, Sujin said it well, what an arrogant person Xue Yue is, what can make him ask for help is definitely not an ordinary trivial matter, if you don't know it, it is to put all the family resources into it.

"Okay......" Zhang Fakui let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly, and then said with a straight face: "I can't tell you, tomorrow I will ask the logistics department to send you the ammunition you need." However, you must pay attention to the command of Chief Xue and Commander Wu Qiwei, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, in this operation. You must know that these two people don't have a good temper, and they annoy them, but they dare to ask for your head! ”

"Sir, rest assured, I cherish my life more than others, and I will definitely not let Chief Xue find an excuse." After his requirements were met, Su Jin seemed to be in a good mood.

"I hope so!" Zhang Fakui muttered, he was very clear about the inside story of Xue Yue's request for help from the Ninth War Zone, was the division of the Japanese army so easy to eat. I'm afraid that it will be an unprecedentedly tragic battle, and this Su Jin can also see it. It's just that he couldn't tell Su Jinming, for fear of scaring him, but he still solemnly instructed: "Head Su." This time, your unit went to fight in the area of Wanjialing, and the responsibility is heavy, so remember to be careful. ”

"Chief Xie cares, and the ministry understands!" Looking at Zhang Fakui's appearance of a thousand instructions, Su Jin also took a deep breath. I'm afraid that no one present understands the tragedy of Wanjialing better than him.

After Zhang Fakui left, the security regiment immediately began to get busy with the order, and the baggage company began to distribute ammunition and dry food to various troops. Even the doctors and nurses of the medical brigade began to mobilize, and the wounded who had not yet recovered were all transferred to the hospital in Nanchang City for continued treatment, and the medical brigade all set off with the troops.

On 7 September, the Security Regiment and the 6th Reserve Division marched along Yongxiu and De'an respectively towards Wanjialing in the Jiujiang area......

In early September, in order to reduce the pressure on the main attacking force on the Yangtze River, Okamura Ninji ordered the 101st Division and the 106th Division, which had been wounded in the previous phase of the operation, to capture De'an and the area west of De'an.

After the 101st Wing was severely beaten by Su Jin last time, Okamura Ninji replenished 3,000 recruits for the 101st Division, sent the effective intelligence staff officer Sakurai to the 106th Division to guide the operation, and also equipped them with a mountain artillery wing. Okamura's intention was obvious, that is, to let these two divisions regain their self-confidence, restore their combat effectiveness, and complete their combat missions.

On 8 September, the front lines of the 25th and 28th armies defending the Ninth Theater of Operations in China had already discovered traces of the Japanese army, and at the same time, the First Corps of the 1st Theater of Operations, which was in tune with it, was also closely monitoring every move of the 101st and 106th Divisions from the side.

On 12 September, the 106th Division set out from Huimaling and continued its advance towards the mountainous area, but on the way it was often attacked by local armed forces in China, and the roads were narrow and there was thick fog during the day, so the 106th Division began to get lost.

On the morning of 20 September, when the sun had just revealed a faint face from the thick fog, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, commander of the 106th Division, had just come out of his tent, and when he looked at the surrounding scenery, he exclaimed in surprise: "Sakurai-kun, Sakurai-kun, what the hell is going on, we are back to the place the day before yesterday." ”

Sakurai Masanami Nakasa was ordered by Okamura Ninji to come to the 106th Division to guide the battle, and he had a very detached position in the mission due to his experience.

Sakurai looked at the surrounding terrain and said with some surprise, "The mountain in the south is very familiar. ”

"Of course!" Junrokuro Matsuura pointed to an old tree in the distance and said, "Did you see it, I noticed that strange pine tree the day before yesterday, and now I see it again, so I can be sure that we are lost, and you can measure our position with a compass immediately." ”

It's no wonder that Junrokuro Matsuura is a little flustered, getting lost can be big or small, if it's an ordinary person who gets lost, it's a big deal to find a local to ask for clarification, but if it's a wartime army, it's different, especially in this kind of inaccessible mountainous area, if you don't get it, it's going to be a big deal.

Seeing that Junrokuro Matsuura was a little out of breath, Sakurai comforted: "Your Excellency the division commander, don't panic, don't be afraid when I measure it, and take the test again every six hours in the future, so that it will be fine." ”

After speaking, Sakurai took out the compass and measured it carefully, and dotted it on the map with his hand: "Your Excellency Division Commander, our current location is about eight kilometers north of Baicha Street. ”

Junrokuro Matsuura looked at the sun again, shook his head, and said, "No, it's morning, why is the sun hanging in the west." Someone, report to Commander Okamura where we are now. ”

Half an hour later, Okamura Ninji in Jiujiang Castle received a telegram from Junrokuro Matsuura. At first, Okamura didn't care, but after a while, he suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter, and he immediately shouted, "Miyamoto...... Miyamoto! ”

The little chubby uterus with the eyes Honichiro immediately ran in.

Okamura immediately asked, "What are the new movements of Xue Yue's troops in the past two days?" Are there any troop movements? ”

Miyamoto held his glasses with his hand, "There are no major movements, only a few troops are moving in the direction of Wanjialing, but there are no our troops there, it is estimated that it is just a general transfer?" ”

Okamura shook his head: "No, Xue Yue is a difficult person among the generals of the Jiang family to deal with, he will never transfer troops for no reason, you immediately notify the air force, let them send a reconnaissance plane to the area of Baicha Street to conduct reconnaissance, see if the 106th Division is in the position they reported, and report to me in two hours!" ”

"Hai ......"

Two hours later, Ichiro Miyamoto reported: "The intelligence from the air force reconnaissance is that General Matsuura's 106th Division is now about fifteen kilometers south of Baicha Street. ”

Okamura Ninji quickly found that place on the map, and when he saw it, a cold sweat immediately broke out on his back, and he exclaimed: "It's not good, the 106th Division has already gotten into Xue Yue's pocket, immediately order them to move in the direction of due north, and it will be too late to hesitate, and then give an order to the 27th Division, ordering them to immediately guard the right flank of the 106th Division...... Fast! ”

As soon as Okamura's words fell, Ichiro Miyamoto almost ran out......

And Matsuura Junrokuro was also puzzled when he received the telegram, and he muttered, "It's impossible, how can you run to the south?" Sakurai-kun, you're using a compass to take a test. ”

Sakurai took out the side of the compass due south, and the two of them were shocked at the same time, the compass at this time showed that the 106th Division was still eight kilometers north of Baicha Street, and the troops had walked for three hours, but the position had not changed at all, and it was obvious that there was something wrong with the compass. Sakurai took out an iron-shelled box and put it next to the compass, the needle of the compass still didn't even move, and Sakurai's face immediately turned pale: "It's not good, there may be a magnet mine here, and the compass is useless!" ”

A layer of fine sweat broke out on Junrokuro Matsuura's forehead, and he hurriedly shouted: "Immediately send an order to all wings, immediately use the sun as a reference, and retreat to the north!" ”

It's just that Junrokuro Matsuura gave this order too late...... (To be continued......)
