Although the explosive power of the 107 rocket artillery is not as good as the cannon of more than 20 centimeters on the Japanese gunboat, but many 107 rockets explode together, the power is also very amazing, not to mention that Wu Dazhong's artillery battalion is launched at full capacity, a total of more than 400 rockets were fired, and the Japanese army's vanguard landing force only dispatched more than 1,000 people.

With Wu Dazhong's launch order, a few seconds later, the little devil who had just marched to Xihe Village was hit head-on by a rain of bullets that split his head and covered his face. The area around Xihe Village, Jiniuzhou, which was bombarded by Japanese naval guns for most of the day, was already unrecognizable, and at this time it was more than 400 107 caliber rockets bombarded intensively, after the explosion, the entire Xihe Village could not see a complete building of more than one meter high at all, almost everything was razed to the ground, and the land that had been bombed several times was even more ravine, as if ploughed, and there were big pits everywhere and scorched black soil that exuded the smell of gunsmoke, In the meantime, there were also blood stains on the stumps and severed arms of Japanese soldiers, and the entire area was devastated, like a hell on earth, which was unbearable.

In the face of such a blow, how could the vanguard of the Japanese army be spared, except for dozens of lucky Japanese soldiers on the periphery, most of the rest were sent to see them almost instantly.

The violent cluster explosion of the 107 rockets was particularly eye-catching in the dark night, which not only annihilated the landed Japanese troops, but also woke up Yoshimoto's dream of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform. After learning that the landing force was completely annihilated, Yoshimoto Sadachi surprisingly did not fire, but ordered all ships on Poyang Lake to continue to fire their guns on land, and continued to follow up to expand the range of naval artillery bombardment.

As a result, Bai Fei, who had already withdrawn the main force of the troops to the south bank of the mouth of the Ganjiang River, had to continue to issue the order to retreat, and the two sides held each other all night in the mutual pull of "you advance and I retreat, and you retreat and I advance".

This night, Bai Fei did not close his eyes, and he had to keep a close eye on the movements of surface ships at all times. However, as the night passed, the Japanese did not send any more troops to land, but continued to carry out continuous artillery bombardment, slowly expanding the range of strikes.

However, although there has been no progress here in Wucheng, there is good news from the Yongxiu Tujiabu defense line. It turned out that since yesterday afternoon, the Japanese army used poison gas bombs in Tujiabu, and a large number of personnel were poisoned by the defenders' Yang Sen's 27th Group Army and Song Kentang's 32nd Army, resulting in the weakening of the defenders' strength and the appearance of loopholes in their defenses. Although the defenders resisted hard, under the joint attack of the Japanese army, they were still defeated one after another, and even broke through to the south bank of the Xiushui River by the Japanese army along the Nanxun Railway.

But fortunately, it was getting late later, and the Japanese planes could not fight at night, so they had to leave. As soon as the plane left, the defensive pressure of the defenders was reduced. At this time, Yang Sen and Song Kentang were also beaten out by the Japanese army, Yang Sen saw that his subordinates were killed and wounded heavily, and his eyes were red in a hurry, he was ruthless, and he didn't care about feeling sorry for his belongings, not only ordered his subordinates to drive all the tanks out to fight against the Japanese tanks, but also moved out all the guns and shells that Bai Fei gave him, and bombarded the Japanese army at any cost.

Song Kentang was even more ruthless, he asked his subordinates to organize a death squad, all of them holding big knives and carrying explosive bags, and touched the Japanese position from the side under the cover of night, desperately engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the devils, after the death squad members were injured, some people got under the tank to detonate the explosives, and some people threw themselves directly into the group of devils, and died with them, and the battle was very tragic.

Later, with the arrival of reinforcements from Zhang Zunguang's 721st Regiment, the defenders were somewhat strengthened, and after the Japanese army lost some troops and tanks, it saw that it could not quickly break through the defensive line, and was afraid that the Chinese army would have reserve reinforcements to arrive, so they retreated to the north bank of the Xiushui River, and the fighting between the two sides slowly stopped.

Generally speaking, the Japanese army returned in Tujiabu without success, but compared with the battle losses and casualties on both sides, the Chinese army undoubtedly suffered a great loss. However, in any case, the Tujiabu defense line was finally preserved, preventing the defense line from being broken by the Japanese army, and ensuring the safety of other Chinese defenders along the Xiuhe River and Nanchang.

After Bai Fei learned the news, he felt a little relieved in his heart, but at the same time, he was even more worried, and secretly thought in his heart: One attack has already been fought so fiercely, if the Japanese army comes a few more times, will Yang Sen and Song Kentang be able to hold it again?

Bai Fei was worried in his heart, but what he didn't expect was that the next afternoon, the Xujiabu defense line that he had been worried about would happen was still in the hands of Yang Sen and Song Kentang, but the 49th Army and the 79th Army stationed in the Qiujin area had an accident...

Here's the thing, when the whole line of the Xiuhe defense line was in an emergency, Luo Zhuoying wanted to send the 74th Army and the 58th Army to rescue and support, but before the two armies arrived, the defense line of Henglu and other places north of Wuning was attacked by the Japanese Sixth Division, and the situation was even more critical. In addition to wanting to strengthen the defense of Wuning, Chiang Kai-shek also ingeniously wanted to transfer "two divisions of powerful troops," intending to take advantage of the empty opportunity of the Japanese army's southward rear to make a detour behind the enemy to attack key points such as Mahuiling, Ruichang, Jiujiang, and De'an, sabotage railways and highways, cut off communications in the enemy's rear, and prevent the enemy's follow-up troops from reinforcing them.

However, the idea, while good, is unrealistic. Because of this transfer, the troops that originally supported Qiujin and other places were diverted for other purposes, and the Qiujin defenders did not receive support, and the Japanese army used heavy artillery to bombard the defenders' positions on the south bank day and night, and as the number of casualties continued to increase, the defenders' defense line became more and more fragile.

At 16:30 p.m. on the day of the incident, the commander of the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Heavy Artillery, Ryoshiro Sumida, commanded all the artillery to once again fire fiercely at the positions of the 49th Army and the 79th Army of the defenders on the south bank of Xiushui, and the shelling lasted for more than three hours, which was mixed with a large number of poison shells. The defenders' positions were destroyed in many places, a large number of soldiers died, and even the commander of the 76th Division, Wang Lingyun, was poisoned.

At 19:30, the 106th Division began to force the crossing of Xiushui from Qiujin, although the defenders resisted hard, but in the end the weapons were inferior, and the Japanese army used heavy artillery to open the way, and grabbed a 2-kilometer-deep beachhead. Subsequently, the Japanese army covered the sappers and erected a pontoon bridge, allowing their tank group to pass through the Xiu River. At this point, the defenders were powerless to stop the Japanese advance, and the defense line of Xiuhe was broken.

Moreover, when the news of Qiujin's breach reached Wucheng, Bai Fei was still engaged in a tug-of-war confrontation with the Japanese army on Poyang Lake. Throughout the day, the two sides came and went, always maintaining a safe distance, and although the Japanese army sent two more landing troops, they no longer rushed forward as last time, but always stopped in a safe area. After all, the range of the 107 rocket artillery is also limited, and it is not as far as the Japanese naval guns, so there is no way to land the Japanese army on the premise of ensuring their own safety. The two sides were at a stalemate for a while.

When he heard the news from Qiu Jin, Bai Fei's first thought was not the current situation of Qiu Jin, but exclaimed: "Oops! Immediately send a telegram to Yang Sen and Song Kentang, and tell them to stick to the Tujiabu defense line no matter what, otherwise..."

It turned out that Bai Fei knew that it was bad as soon as he heard that the Japanese army had broken through the Qiujin defensive line, because Qiujin was not far from Tujiabu, and the Japanese army would inevitably clear the defenders along the Xiuhe River all the way east after crossing the river, and the Tujiabu defensive line had been in several emergencies before and was already overwhelmed, not to mention that the defender was still an old slippery head like Yang Sen, if he knew that Qiujin had changed, the Japanese army might appear behind him, and I am afraid that he would immediately abandon the position and leave.

Sure enough, before Bai Fei could finish speaking, a herald hurriedly ran over and said: "Tuanza, the big thing is not good, Yang Sen and Song Kentang abandoned their positions and withdrew from Tujiabu, and now the Japanese 101st Division has crossed the Xiuhe River, and is congregating with its chariot group soldiers in two ways, one along the Nanxun Railway to attack in the direction of Nanchang, and the other towards Wucheng..."
