Chapter 343: March Rain

Sun Yumin seized the last free time before the war, accompanied his daughter for an afternoon, and had a rare dinner with Chen Lai and the little girl in the evening.

After being reprimanded by the little girl on the afternoon of the ninth day of the first month, she was much more honest. It's strange to say, after the average child is scolded by this adult, he will definitely go to another adult, but Chu Jiu did the opposite, sticking to the little girl even more and not letting go.

Sun Yumin is also happy to see that the aunt and nephew have a good relationship, and has been looking at the two of them happily, but it is a little strange that the little girl is a little out of state, and often peeks at him from time to time, and will also peek at Chen Lai's eyes, as if she has something on her mind.

Sun Yumin thought that before the battle, the little girl was worried about herself, so she didn't ask in detail, but just hooked her index finger and gently scraped it on the bridge of her nose.

…………

The news finally came from Gao An's side, which made Sun Yumin, who was restless in the command headquarters, finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In accordance with his instructions, the 81st Division withdrew the troops in Gao'an City and sent several small detachments to harass them.

Although they could not see the results, in fact Oga Shigeru was angry, and all the outposts in Nanchang City were harassed and attacked, and the phone calls and soldiers' reports made him angry, and he roared in front of Ikeda, and if he had not been stopped by Ikeda, he would have even immediately ordered troops to be sent to exterminate these Chinese troops who were harassing him.

"師団長閣下、中国軍の狂乱のいたずらは、我々が彼らを攻撃することを望んでいるのだから、あなたは決してこのようにはできない。 (Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Chinese army's frenzied harassment is precisely hoping that we will go out to attack them, and you must not be fooled by this.) Although Naozo Ikeda was the brigade commander of the newly formed mixed brigade, he was well-known in the Japanese army, otherwise Oga Shige, who was the commander of the lieutenant general's division, would not have given such a big face to a major general's brigade commander. If the brigade commander under the division of Ogashige had stopped him like this, he would have been covered with big ears and brackets in the face.

"日本の陸軍は何時にこのようにしていたのか、中国軍が家の前で出撃することができなかったのは、三四師団の顔だけではなく、さらに皇軍の顔をしていた。 (When did the Imperial Japanese Army be so cowardly, blocked by the Chinese army at the door and did not dare to attack, this was not only the face of the 34th Division, but also the face of the Imperial Army.) Oga Shigeru's eyes were frighteningly red, he was a military madman, but also an extremely psychopathic demon, and the Chinese army he fought against was defeated, leaving a nightmare shadow on this man.

"これまで、遠藤君との第3飛行団に連絡しなかったら、私たちの個人的な出兵を許可しないようにした。 あなたはあわてないで、中国军は何日も生まないで、その孙玉民を含めて、必ずあなたの私の刀の下で死魂を!" (The Commander of the Circle Department has strictly ordered that we will not be allowed to send troops without communicating with Endo-kun's 3rd Flying Regiment.) Don't worry, the Chinese army will not be arrogant for a few days, including that Sun Yumin, will definitely become the ghost of you and me! As the commander in chief of the troops, Chida Naozo is far more cautious and cautious than Oga Shigeru, on the one hand, he leads the newly formed mixed brigade, this unit has not really been on the battlefield, and he has no bottom in his heart; On the other hand, his troops were far inferior to Ogashige's, so it was inevitable to be cautious.

"Saburo Endo? 私たちが彼の支援であれば、いつまで待てばいいのかわからない。! 彼の口の中でよく明らかにしたように、爆撃と占領はこの戦争の勝利を得ることができないという言葉のように、我々が第3の飛行団の支援を待っているならば、戦争をしなくても、南昌城を直接中国に返すことにした。 (Saburo Endo?) If we rely on his support, we don't know when! Just as he often proclaimed the mantra that bombing and occupation could not achieve victory in this war, if we were to wait for the assistance of the Third Flying Regiment, we would not have to fight and simply return Nanchang City to the Chinese. Oga Shigeru has a great prejudice against Endo Saburo, but he is helpless against him, both of them are lieutenant generals, but he is only the division commander of the B Division, and Endo Saburo is the commander of the famous Third Flying Regiment, and his status is far beyond him, so Oga Shigeru can only complain here.

"師団長Excellency、あなたがとても道理があると言っても、これは円部commander官の命令で、彼の命令を実行しなければ、必ず軍事法廷のsanctions を受けることになるでしょう." (Your Excellency, Division Commander, even if you have a good point, but this is an order from the Commander of the Circle, and if you do not carry out his order, you will definitely be punished by a military court, and you must not mess around.) In desperation, Naozo Ikeda moved out of Enbe and Ichiro, thinking that with Enbe's recent limelight, he could suppress the arrogant Ogashige.

But where did he think that for this commander of the Eleventh Army who was transferred from the Kwantung Army, these original generals of the Eleventh Army were not afraid, and compared to Okamura Ninji, the status of the circle in the eyes of them was completely incomparable.

Oga Shigeru was one of these people, and he turned all his anger on this commander he had never met before, and scolded loudly: "これはソLianの人の中でとてもdamageをしたfoolかで、He をCommander しててEleventh Army をCommander してこんなに多くのExcellent Imperial Warrior をCommander します." 三四師団は家の前で打っていて、完全に彼の予り、Okamura Ninji Commander であれば、挑発してきた中国军はとっくにわが三四師団に残されていない。 (Why did this idiot, who had suffered a lot from the Soviets, command so many excellent Imperial warriors of the Eleventh Army.) If it were Commander Okamura Ninji, the Chinese army that dared to provoke would have been eaten by our 34th Division long ago. )

Scolding and scolding, anger and anger, Oga Shigeru was still suppressed by the "great god" that Ikeda Naozo moved out, he didn't dare to risk going to the military court, to disobey the orders of Enbe and Ichiro, so he had to take out his anger with a tea set, even Ikeda didn't know, this was the first set of tea sets that Oka Shigeru had broken.

Contrary to Sun Yumin's expectations, the Zhanshutang Department harassed for more than half a month, but the devil actually turned a blind eye and let the small detachment sent by the 81st Division continue to attack, but he did not take half a step.

This made Zhanshutang, who had been in the army for more than ten years, feel strange, the time to fight with the devil was not short, when had he ever seen such a cowering devil.

Sun Yumin was not surprised, the devil's approach made him even more convinced that the 139th Division had devil spies, or that the 19th Army and the 74th Army under the command of the former enemy headquarters of the Ninth Theater had the enemy's internal line, and to put it a little bigger, no matter all the movements of the 12th Army, the 74th Army or the 19th Group Army, in fact, the devils were all clear. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that the Japanese army, which had two divisions and a brigade, would be bullied by others without the slightest action to fight back.

He knows that he needs to calm down at this moment, and be vigilant that the devils will suddenly come out, and after this half a month of attack, those squads that have gone to harass are probably already skinned at this moment, and if they don't be vigilant, they will definitely suffer a lot of losses.

During the half-month waiting, something actually happened, the first thing was that the guns and ammunition of that regiment were "sold" by Sun Yumin.

This is the method that came up with over there, and they all know that he Sun Yumin is short of money, as the descendant of the old Jiang Yan's lineage, he sells the exchanged equipment for money, even if he is found out by the military commander, he can't do anything with him, the reason is very simple, Sun Yumin bought so many weapons out of his own pocket, it is impossible not to let him return to his capital.

As a result, Lin Yuanping took a guard company to transport the guns and ammunition of this regiment, and then pulled several carts of "silver yuan" back, as for whether it was really "silver yuan", only Qian Jin and Sun Yumin knew.

When the time came to the middle of March, the rainy season in Jiangnan began to come, and it rained for several days, which inevitably made people's mood feel a little wet. Sun Yumin is the same, he is worried that in such weather, whether the weapons and equipment can be smoothly delivered to the hands of the New Fourth Army; I am worried that the 81st Division will remain vigilant at all times, and if it is taken lightly, it will definitely be another bloody lesson; He was most worried about whether the heavy rain for days would cause devastating damage to the roads, you must know that he now has a regiment with high mobility, and under good weather conditions, more than 60 trucks and 15 tanks can quickly throw the 7th Regiment fully equipped with American equipment to the battlefield, but the current weather makes his original plan completely inoperable, which makes his mood not good at all.

Sun Yumin's worries soon became a reality, and the devil who had been harassed for more than a month finally broke out.

Several squads of the 81st Division, which were originally routinely harassed, were suddenly counterattacked by devils.

When Zhanshutang received the report, not only were several squads wiped out, but even Gao'an City was shelled.

Fortunately, Sun Yumin ordered the withdrawal of most of the troops early, except for the one regiment left behind, there were not even a few ordinary people left in the city, and they all knew that there was going to be a big battle again, who would want to be cannon fodder in the city.

The drizzle was continuous, blown by the cold wind of early spring, and although it was not as cold as the bitter winter, it was still so cold that the soldiers lying on the city walls and on the positions shivered, and the previous complaints had already been silenced by this bombardment.

The 81st Division has done it with real knives and guns with devils, and has experienced more fierce artillery fire, but it is a relatively long time ago, although there are still many veterans and backbones, but the recruits who have supplemented it, where have they seen such a scary and bloody picture.

After the shelling of the devils, they immediately followed and attacked. Originally, Sun Yumin ordered them to defend several waves before they could retreat, but they were bombarded by the devil's howitzers, and then suppressed by the grenadiers and mortar shells and heavy machine guns when the devils attacked, and the defenders of the 81st Division in the city could not resist at all.

The regiment of the 81st Division, which had been greatly wounded, had just withdrawn from Gao'an City, when it heard the sound of artillery shells whistling from behind it, and the entire Gao'an City was suddenly plunged into a deafening explosion.

When Zhanshutang got the report, he was so distressed that he trembled, not only for the few squads that were completely annihilated due to the loss of vigilance, but also for Gao Ancheng who only resisted a wave of attacks by devils, but damaged more than half of the regiment. However, when he saw that the devil finally began to fight back and walked into the trap set by Sun Yumin step by step, he finally gave him some relief.

After Sun Yumin received the report from Zhanshutang for the first time, he was both excited and worried. The rainy season in March in the south of the Yangtze River caused him a huge trouble, and the great "gift" he had prepared for the devils: the M3 tank and the Seventh Regiment with American-style equipment could not reach the designated battlefield quickly at all. Once this new force cannot reach the battlefield quickly, then whether this battle can achieve the goal he expected in his heart, Sun Yumin really has no bottom in his heart.

You have to make decisions and changes immediately, and your previous plan is no longer possible. Fortunately, the impact of the rainy season on both sides is equal, Sun Yumin's side cannot be reinforced quickly, and the attack speed of the Japanese army will also slow down.

Sun Yumin did not think much about it, and immediately ordered Shi Zhonghua and Wang Heng to lead the 139th Division to immediately withdraw from the front line of Fengxin and Jing'an, and no longer go to the 33rd Division of the 3rd Division of Yingjing Province in Anyi; He immediately asked Tang Chunhong to send a telegram to Luo Zhuoying, asking him to immediately send troops to take over the defense area of the 139th Division.

He did this for two purposes: first, there were obviously Japanese spies hidden in the 139th Division, and the news that he ordered the 139th Division to retreat in advance would soon reach the devil's side, but Sun Yumin was not too worried, the continuous torrential rain would well block the march of the 33rd Division, as for what would happen next, that was what Luo Zhuoying considered, in his memory, the 74th Army was embarrassed by Sakurai Province, and directly left Dahe Mao, and fled back to Anyi first; Moreover, he must take this opportunity to clear up this huge cancer hidden in the 139th Division, otherwise the movements of his troops will be exposed under the noses of the devils, how can this battle be fought? For this reason, he handed over the task of finding out this scum to Zhao Lei. Since Sun Yumin really handed over all the equipment replaced by the Seventh Regiment to the New Fourth Army, Zhao Lei's admiration for Sun Yumin is really no exaggeration to say that it has reached the level of worship.

After readjusting his subordinates, Sun Yumin led the new 34th Division to set off from Ruichang in advance, and no one would have thought that in the continuous torrential rain, there were three Chinese armies marching in a hurry: the 74th Army was marching towards Fengxin and Jing'an, and they were going to take over the defense area of the 139th Division; The 139th Division marched from Fengxin and Jing'an to the upper heights, and they had to go to the ambush position in advance; The picture of the new 34th Division, led by Sun Yumin himself, composed of tanks, trucks, mule carts, and soldiers in robes, braving the torrential rain to march forward looks very spectacular.
