Chapter 366: Difficult
He Jianye, who retreated in the bushes, reluctantly returned to his position, a field camp behind the northwest highlands on He Zhou, Leng Qi, who learned the specific situation, pointed to the map and said to He Jianye,
"Commander, looking at the devil's formation, I'm afraid that the success of destroying the road is very small; Even if we destroy it, the devil's repair speed may not be long! It seems that the Jinguan Bridge devil is about to be repaired! ”
"Yes! That's why this road has to be destroyed! He Jianye frowned and said,
"Commander, there is a saying that how much strength you have to carry many things; Come and see, once the Jinguan Bridge is repaired by the devils, is this road between the highlands and Fenghuangzui important? The devil can mobilize tanks and troops at any time to drive straight in, and attack the high ground or Phoenix Tsui is only a thought of the devil; Looking here, the devils can also pass through the Jinguan Bridge, turn to the southeast in Jinqiao Village, support the main force of the devils in Liujia Village, and attack the Confucian Temple. Legasaki pointed to the map and said,
"Yes! The Jinguan Bridge is lost, and the devil can change the defensive direction of the attack at will! But I'm not worried about the pursuit of the 106th Division of the devils, this is already a mountainous area, and the more the devils chase us, the easier it will be to fight; I'm afraid that the devil will attack De'an directly on the avenue! He Jianye said,
"Regiment Commander, De'an is the forward command of the Ninth War Zone, and Chief Xue must have an arrangement; Just don't worry about that, just rest in peace and complete our own tasks; Besides, there are less than 600 brothers left in the 16th Regiment now......" Leng Qi said that he would not talk about it here, looking at He Jianye;
"Let the brethren rest! Let the officers talk more with the brethren and go down and move around more! "He Jianye also understands that now the troops are insufficient, and even the division headquarters has not issued an order to attack, so wait for support with peace of mind!
In order to prevent unnecessary casualties caused by cold guns and cannons, the officers ordered the soldiers not to even out of the trenches, and to stay in bunkers;
Since the 106th Division was no longer able to attack, and the frontal defenders of Nanxun Road were strong and the terrain of Lushan was dangerous, so Okamura Ninji ordered the 101st Division, which had just arrived south of Jiujiang, to attack Xingzi with the cooperation of a naval force on August 12, on the one hand, to contain the defenders in order to cope with their attack on Ruichang's troops, and on the other hand, to prepare for the subsequent capture of De'an. On August 16, the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, with a strength of 23,000 troops, arrived at Jiujiang under the leadership of the division commander, Lieutenant General Yoshiki Ryosuke;
On the road full of refugees, He Fuchu successfully arrived in Chongqing after more than ten days of hardship, Chongqing in this era is a typical mountain city, the only consequence of the influx of a large number of people is that the house is very expensive, but He Fuchu, who has money in his hands, does not have this problem, directly stationed in the Chongqing Hotel, and ordered his entourage to go to He Yingqin's residence to bow down, and wait for the notice in Chongqing!
As for Wang Yue, she went back to her parents' house directly, this arrogant city lady can finally relax, she was tossed miserably along the way, she can't run around, she can't make remarks indiscriminately, and she can't be philanthropic....... This can't and that can't make Wang Yue unbearable for a long time, now it's okay, go back to her aunt's house, everything seems to be back again, take a hot bath, eat a full stomach, and complain to her aunt at home for a long time;
"Silly girl! Be content! He Jianye is now accumulating his military exploits continuously, listening to the master, if he hadn't been pressed by Chen Cheng, he would have been a general a long time ago, and you guys will understand why when you come to the master this time; Rest assured! Your uncle won't leave you alone; Have a good rest at home these days! I'll see you when I'm done, the battle is not going well, and your uncle is under a lot of pressure as the chief of staff of the Military Commission. Wang Wenxiang comforted Wang Yue,
"Cigarettes, cigarettes are sold!"
"Master, what do you want to pick?" A mountain city looks at the entourage behind He Fuchu with a lot of things and runs up to pick up customers;
"No need, let's just hang out!" He Fuchu knew that outsiders were not easy to mix in Chongqing, so he politely refused;
On August 21, Okamura Ninji ordered the 9th Division to send a part of its forces to assist the 106th Division in the attack, and at the same time ordered the 106th Division to attack the Chinese defenders on the Nanxun Line again on August 27.
After absorbing the inconvenience and danger of attacking in the mountainous area, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura ordered the 147th Wing and the 123rd Wing to attack Fenghuangzui under the cover of artillery fire, trying to open up the road from Nanchang to De'an and remove the threat of the back road being cut off.
He Fuchu, who stayed in Chongqing for a few days, finally met He Yingqin, He Yingqin got off the morning shift rarely, and the night had just fallen in Chongqing, He Fuchu interviewed He Yingqin in He Yingqin's study;
After greetings, the two of them went directly to the topic, and He Yingqin didn't have much time to talk nonsense, so he said directly,
"He Jianye fought well in Jiujiang and Jinguanqiao, and the Ninth War Zone has reported his exploits, and I will fight for a good number for him; Now the battle situation is difficult, as long as He Jianye's performance on the battlefield is getting better and better, no one can suppress him! After all, he is still an honor student in Whampoa! ”
Although He Yingqin and Chen Cheng are both from the Whampoa department, He Yingqin is still a veteran in the army, but since the Xi'an Incident, He Yingqin has been suspicious of Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Cheng has gradually come from behind, and his voice in front of Chiang Kai-shek has risen sharply, because of the relationship between military control, and the contradiction with the old-timer He Yingqin is also getting bigger and bigger.
"Minister He, now that the devils have hit the door, I don't know if Nanchang can hold it; What does the old mother mean at home, I hope that the second brother will return to his hometown after the fall of Nanchang and not let the little devils harm the people in his hometown! He Fuchu cautiously said his plan;
"Now the battle of Wuhan is at a critical moment, Wuhan is defended, Nanchang is defended; Don't say this outside, lest you get into trouble! I understand what your family means, it depends on the situation! After He Yingqin finished speaking, the two of them talked about something else, and then the two of them kicked and scattered;
On the evening of August 29, the Maruyama Detachment (Brigade Commander Major General Maruyama Masao) sent by the 9th Division of the Japanese Army 6 infantry brigades and 2 mountain artillery brigades arrived near Minshan along the Ruichang-De'an Avenue. When the Japanese Maruyama detachment attacked the position of the 72nd Army, the Sichuan army was caught off guard and lost important places such as Liyu Mountain, Bijia Mountain, and Xintangpu.
Minshan is behind the west side of the Jinguan Bridge, and it was lost here, endangering the safety of the main Chinese defenders in the area of the Jinguan Bridge on the Nanxun railway line. Xue Yue hurriedly transferred Yu Jishi's 74th Army to Minshan to reinforce Wang Lingjichuan's army, and at the same time ordered the main force around Jinguanqiao to quickly retreat. Because he began to misjudge that the Japanese army was only a few hundred, he only ordered the 51st Division to send a regiment of troops to block the attack, but was repelled by the superior Japanese army, and then sent an additional brigade, and then the entire 51st Division participated in the battle for the Minshan position. After 74 officers and soldiers fought to the death, fierce fighting until September 2, the Minshan position was recovered, and on September 3, the defenders retreated, and the battle of Jinguanqiao in the Jiujiang War of Resistance ended.
