Chapter 554: Increasing Troops

The battle between Wanshou Palace and Niu Xing is fierce, and the devil will not give up the attack because of the fierce resistance of the defenders; The Japanese, armed with militaristic ideas, had been carried away by medals and meritorious deeds, and in the eyes of the Japanese military leadership, there was nothing more tempting to force the Chinese government to surrender and thus turn the whole of China into a Japanese colony and a source of resources; Even all the Japanese nationals became tools in their eyes, yes, tools for seizing China;

"Order, the reserve 20th to 23rd battalions of Shibu are now immediately moving towards the area of Wanshou Palace; The 20th and 21st Battalions were stationed in the second-line position, and the 22nd and 23rd Battalions were stationed in the third-line position; The 7th Reserve Battalion of the 2nd Line Position of Wanshou Palace was stationed in the direction of the east and south of Da Lao Mountain, waiting for orders; The reserve 8th battalion of the third-line position of Wanshou Palace immediately entered the reverse position east of Goutou Mountain after performing the ammunition transportation task; The gendarmerie immediately assembled and followed me to Tai Lao Mountain. "Leng Qi's order was finished word by word,

"Deputy commander, there are no underground fortifications in Da Lao Mountain, do you want to wait until our gendarmerie has built a semi-permanent bunker in the southeast by relying on the mountain?" The guard advised,

"No, labor and management are also rolled out of the blood mill in Songhu;" Legasaki picked up the rifle on the wall and strode out of the bunker of the third-line position of the Manshou Palace!

On the positions west and south of Dalao Mountain, Wang Qiang had ordered the brothers to stop shooting, and let the wounded devils on the Jingxiang Line Avenue howl to death;

"Clearing traffic trenches, digging passages between craters; Rely on craters to build a new line of defense! The anti-artillery hole was further dug and reinforced. Wang Qiang's face as he conveyed the order was sad,

a full battalion of 1,200 brethren; Under the attack of the devil's artillery and tanks, there are now less than eight hundred people left; And there are only two of the most important anti-aircraft guns left! As a result, it is still the result of Deputy Commander Leng risking the use of the field artillery battalion, if they rely on themselves, I am afraid that Da Lao Shan has been lost now!

Leng Qi is mobilizing the reserve troops in Shibu to strengthen the thickness of the defense, and He Jianye of Wanshou Palace has now also issued an order for the six reserve infantry battalions in Shibu to move to Xinjian; He Jianye wanted to pull all the recruits to the defensive position of Niu Xing to experience it!

At present, the soldiers of He Jianye's Nanchang Garrison Command and the soldiers of the 101st and 106th Divisions of the Japanese Army are all recruits who have just joined the army; Needless to say, the original 16th Regiment, the predecessor of the Nanchang Garrison Command, was basically wiped out in Jiujiang; The 106th Division and the 101st Division were basically wiped out in the Battle of Wuhan, and they were also a large number of recruits who had just been replenished. Let them quickly regain their strength. According to the training cycle of the Japanese army, pre-war adaptive training is generally 2 to 3 weeks, and even those tactical squads are basically controlled at about 2 months; In order to save the honor of the Imperial Japanese Army and to reshape the faith of the 101st Division and the 106th Division, Gangmura Ningji let them train for more than 4 months, just to show their strength in the Battle of Nanchang.

The Japanese army's lightning attack was very successful, and the Xiushui defense line was quickly broken under the artillery fire cluster and poison gas offensive of the devils, but the defenders were not vegetarians on the front line of Xiushui, and under the stubborn resistance of the 19th Group Army, the casualties were not light, and there were currently more than 10,000 people, and the loss of nearly 40 tanks. The total strength of the 101st and 106th Divisions is only more than 40,000 people!

"Your Excellency, Commander, the commander of the Matsuura Division has called; The morning attack lost a brigade, and now they had to defend against Gao'an's 74th Army and attack the front line of Wanshou Palace; There are not enough troops! Request a full patch! "At the headquarters in Wuhan, Gangmura Ninji received a telegram that he didn't want to see the most!

"Where did the Sixth Division go?" Gangmura Ninji asked,

"Most of the 6th Division is still attacking Wuning, of which the 45th Wing and the 6th Cavalry Wing are now marching towards the Gao'an area, and it is expected to reach the Gao'an line at night;" The staff officer reported,

"Order the 45th Wing to accept the defense of Gao'an, and resupply the reserve wing of the 11th Army to the 106th Division;" Gangmura Ningji ordered,

On the position of the cattle shop, the devils have all withdrawn; Zhu Shuangquan did not allow the recruits to go out of the trenches to pursue, and the devil's retreat made ** suffer a lot of losses, and the recruits had no experience, so it was easy to fall into the trap of the devil; Now on the front line of the cattle shop, there are corpses of devils who have fallen in various postures everywhere, as well as the seriously injured devils who are dying; The devils did not take the seriously wounded with them when they retreated.

On the position of Niu Xing, Zhu Shuangquan ordered the brothers to carry the dead bodies together and prepare for the logistics personnel to take them away;

"Hurry up, all the floating soil in the trenches is cleared; The blown up traffic trench is re-dug through! There must be a connecting passage between the craters, and that is the point of fire that we have prepared! Zhu Shuangquan was still shouting,

"Battalion Commander Zhu, you take the sixth battalion down to rest! Withdraw directly to Nanchang, I have already ordered the seventh battalion to take over your defensive line! "He Jianye's special battalion and guard company have come up, and the skilled veterans are quickly tidying up their positions;

"Commander, our battalion is still holding on! After this wave, the recruits have grown a lot; I promise the devil's next attack will be a big loss! Zhu Shuangquan said anxiously, he thought why Jianye had been disappointed in the sixth battalion, so he was explaining!

"Lao Zhu, don't think about it; Defense is a great place to train new recruits, and I'm going to go through all the boot camps here! You command well, and the brethren grow quickly; All can be withdrawn to the second line position! He Jianye said,

"But, Commander; I've lost almost 400 brothers or wounds! I will not go down, I will avenge my brethren! Zhu Shuangquan said with red eyes,

"It's not that if you go down, there will be no fighting, tell you; The devils who came from the west and north towards Nanchang had the numbers of four divisions, although not all of them were full; But there are devils in the three divisions; The battle was still fought, and when they went down, they took with them all the brethren, including those who had died; Send all the wounded soldiers to the church hospital! Including the lightly wounded, they are still needed to engage in a lot of Nanchang vicious battles! He Jianye said.

"Yes, Commander! Brethren, take the fallen brethren and carry the wounded! Go back to Nanchang to eat braised pork! Zhu Shuangquan's eyes shouted tears and shouted around,

The tired veterans and excited recruits laid down their tools together; Pack up your equipment and quickly go to the second-line position along the communication trench; The devils may attack again at any time, and they can't retreat directly in the wilderness!

The devil's infantry completely retreated, but the planes of the naval aviation they contacted did not arrive so quickly! In the traffic trench, the brothers of the seventh battalion, under the leadership of the battalion commander Li Jian, saluted these brothers who had just completed their transformation with a military salute, and then went to the front-line position full of hope.
