Since the end of July, the 106th Division of the Japanese Army set out from Jiujiang and advanced towards the De'an attack, it has been almost half a month, and it is still stuck in the area of Jinguanqiao and stopped, and the attack has not improved at all, and the division commander Matsuura Junrokuro could not sit still in Shahe, and ordered the 136th Brigade Qingchuan Chengyi to command the 123rd Wing to wait for an opportunity to attack the direction of Ma'anshan;

On the afternoon of August 7, Junrokuro Matsuura directly detained the logistics personnel who came from Jiujiang to transport supplies, and took the laborers captured from Jiujiang to prepare to transfer the division headquarters and artillery positions; After the field artillery wing carried out the order to shell the position of the Confucian Temple, Junrokuro Matsuura ordered the immediate transfer of the artillery position, the artillery position has been here for a long time, although the people of the branch do not have many artillery, but they will not be able to keep it out at night, but tonight the shelling time is long enough, it must be transferred......

At the suggestion of the staff officer, Junrokuro Matsuura decided to move the division headquarters as a whole to the area of Kongyougou and supervise the attack operations of the 145th and 113th Wings nearby;

Now the 111th Brigade Headquarters set up by the Japanese Army in Kongyougou has become the division headquarters of the 106th Division, and Junrokuro Matsuura is listening to the report of Major General Watara in the tent, and now the condition of the 113th Wing is not bad, and the 145th Wing has suffered a bit of heavy losses in the night attack just now, and there are nearly 900 corpses and nearly 100 wounded people who did not bring back; There were only 2,000 soldiers left in the 145th Wing, but only the defenders on the opposite side were even worse;

"Baga, why don't you launch an attack on the northwest highlands on He Zhou; Isn't it possible to attack the Confucian Temple on both sides? Yaga! Junrokuro Matsuura slapped the map,

"Hello! That's what the division commander said! "The mountains don't dare to refute, and the officials crush people to death! This was especially true in the well-established Japanese army;

"When will the Field Artillery Wing be in place?" Junrokuro Matsuura asked,

"Report to the division commander, according to the time, there are still two hours! It will probably arrive at dawn, but it will still have to build a position, and it will take four hours at the earliest before the artillery bombardment can be launched! Chief of Staff Yoshitaka Akiyama reported,

"Well, Yo Si! Order the 113th Wing and the 145th Wing to rest! After the artillery was in position, it simultaneously launched an attack on the Confucian Temple and the northwestern highlands on Hezhou; The 145th Wing is responsible for attacking the Confucian Temple, and it must put enough pressure to prevent the Zhina people from drawing reinforcements from this side; The 113th Wing won the northwest highlands on Ho Chau in a battle; Junrokuro Matsuura ordered,

"Hello!" Major General Yayamachi Wataru and Kendai Iino immediately bent down to receive the order,

"The commander of the division, the wing commander of the 145th Wing, Ichikawa Yozo Nakasa, is still in a coma, and in the attack just now, he was stunned by the grenade of that person, I don't know if I can?" Major General Shan Di reported,

"Well, Ichikawa Yozo Nakasa is injured? Let the first captain of the 145th Wing be in charge of the attack. Junrokuro Matsuura ordered,

"Hello!" A group of devil officers in the command headquarters collectively bent down to receive the order,

There is still an hour before dawn, this time is the most sleepy time, the officers of the devil did not stand up, they went back to their tents to sleep, it is always good to sleep for a while, the personnel of the logistics and field hospital are still helping the wounded soldiers of the 145th Wing and the 113th Wing, the whole camp is wafting with a bloody gas, the miserable howls and curses of the wounded soldiers of the devils come out from the tent from time to time, the doctors and nurses are busy shuttling under the lights, and the busyness and breath of Kongyougou show the cruelty of the war......

On the position of the Confucian Temple after a night of fierce fighting, the brothers woke up in hunger, drilled out of the anti-artillery holes and fortifications, looked at the slightly shining sky, and knew that the attack of the devils was about to start immediately......

The position of the 13th Regiment of the 3rd Division, after retreating from Shahe, the 13th Regiment has been building a position here, the artillery bombardment of the devils from time to time made Wang Zhaohua nervous, as long as the artillery bombardment of the devils stopped, he ordered the brothers to strengthen the position, it has been ten days, the devil infantry has not seen the attack, the position has been built very firmly, and the anti-artillery holes have also been built a lot, and the brothers of the 8th Brigade since the youth are all enough;

"Brigade commander, you said that the devil will be bombarded with artillery every day, and the infantry will not attack! What kind of fame do devils do? "The Eighth Brigade Headquarters, Wang Zhaohua said to Zhou Qingxiang,

"Look at what you can, forgot how you escaped from the Sand River? The Confucian Temple is very lively, do you want to change it? The Confucian Temple has disabled several divisions in the past few days, and the 155th Division, which just went up, suffered more than half of the casualties last night! Go to the position and take a look, let the brothers hide well, and the sentries stay away, so that they don't be raided by the devils! Zhou Qingxiang mocked,

"Brigadier Commander, I'm not running away! I'm carrying out war zone orders, okay? As soon as he heard the word escape, Wang Zhaohua was anxious;

"Okay, okay, okay, hurry up to the position, don't rush with me here with a white face!" Zhou Qingxiang began to pick people up, I don't understand this matter, no matter how I say it, it makes sense, holding the position is the most important thing;

On the position of the Confucian Temple, the brothers who were waiting for the devil's shelling in the artillery hole after eating the grain cakes squatted for a long time and did not see the movement of the devil's shelling.

"Company commander, what do you say the devil is doing? It's been a long time, why hasn't there been any movement. If you don't let the brothers go out and let the wind out, it's too hot in here. The veteran said,

"Let's squat honestly! Still want to let the wind go? The devil's shelling will not greet you in advance, it is important to let the wind or your life important, stay honestly! The company commander scolded angrily,

Kongyougou, where the 106th Division is located, in the huge division tent, the commander of the 106th Division, Junrokuro Matsuura, is eating breakfast, and the officers of the Devil Division Headquarters are accompanying him......

"The commander of the division, the commander of the 145th Wing, Ichikawa Yozo, asks to see you!" A shout came from outside the tent, and Yozo Ichikawa, who woke up, was dressed in a neat military uniform and was waiting for the summons of the division commander;

"Ichikawa Nakasa, woke up? Call him in! Junrokuro Matsuura put down the rice bowl and said,

"Hello!"

"Division Commander!" Ichikawa Yozo bows respectfully,

"Yo Si! The injury is okay! Junrokuro Matsuura asked,

"Division commander, there is no injury under his post, but he was stunned by the grenade of the Zhina man, and now he is fine!" Ichikawa replied respectfully,

"Yo Si! Then hurry up and eat and continue to fight for the Emperor of the Great Japanese Empire! Junrokuro Matsuura said,

"Hello! Thank you, Commander! Ichikawa Yozo turned around and sat down, the orderly handed over a breakfast, and watched the division commander continue to eat breakfast, and the officers turned on the utensils to deal with the breakfast in front of them......

At half past ten o'clock in the morning of August 8, the devil's artillery position was finally built, and the mother bag Junzhong Strode into the tent of the division headquarters, sweat had soaked through the uniform, and reported loudly to the division commander,

"Division commander, the artillery wing is ready, ready to start shelling at any time."

"Yo Si! According to the established plan, let the 113th and 145th wings prepare! Akiyama-kun, inform the aviation forces to bomb these two positions! Junrokuro Matsuura said with a smile,

"Hello!" The officers immediately stood up and left......
