In the tunnels, the officers and men of the New Fourth Army were still pouring out, and the new acting army commander Wang Shanhu still thought that their speed was too slow, and urged the soldiers of the New Fourth Army who were marching rapidly to speed up.

The captain of an independent brigade changed shotguns overnight and became the acting army commander, but Wang Shanhu was so happy that he was overwhelmed by the army commander's addiction at the moment.

The commanders of the two detachments had already rushed out of the tunnel to the front line to command the battle, and Zhang Cannon had also taken his place, with the three of them outside to command the battle, Wang Shanhu believed that it would not take much effort to seize a wharf, even if there were still Japanese naval guns on Poyang Lake, he didn't still have two 75 mountain guns, and it was proper to kill them.

Who knows, as a herald stumbles in to report, his dream was completely shattered.

The herald reported that the two 75 mountain guns fired a total of two shells, and only one hit the enemy, or hit the deck, and did not cause much damage to the Japanese warships at all, but the Japanese artillery fire immediately locked the two mountain guns and destroyed them, and more than 20 artillery pieces were killed, the first detachment's beach-grabbing was not smooth, the enemy's fire was too fierce, and there were no weapons at all to suppress it, and the New Fourth Army suffered heavy casualties, and the Poyang Lake Independent Brigade and the Japanese transport team did it, because the rear was exposed to enemy artillery fire, the offense is not going well. The fourth detachment defended the city, which was also threatened by enemy artillery fire, and the excavation of the fortifications was slow, and the enemy in the city had begun to retreat in the direction of the ferry.

Wang Shanhu immediately felt smoke in his throat and had difficulty breathing, he did not expect the battle situation to become such an embarrassing situation, the two cannons did not exert their normal power, which meant that they could not destroy the enemy's gunboats at all, and it became very difficult to seize the beach and block the enemy.

Although there are still two 75 mountain guns in the tunnel, the artillery has suffered all casualties, and even if the artillery can be organized from other units to go up again, it will be too late to set it up at this time, and under the enemy's obviously clever gunners, I am afraid it will not play a role.

"Send a report to the main seat, quick!" Wang Shanhu roared, the situation in front of him was beyond his control, Wang Shanhu knew Jiang Haoran's methods, he would definitely come up with a way, and he couldn't care about face at the moment, so he hurriedly reported it.

In the rice paddies less than a mile from the city, a grass-green tent is arrogantly stored.

It was not only a logistical supply ground for the Japanese army, but also a temporary headquarters for the Modified Wing of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army.

At this moment, the Japanese wing commander Takahashi Katsuhiko Osa, surrounded by a group of staff generals, was holding a telescope in his hand to watch the battle situation in the direction of Poyang Lake, and the soldiers who had withdrawn from the city had already set up an attack formation in front of him, and the artillery positions not far away were also being set up nervously.

In the telescope, I only saw that the New Fourth Army in front was digging trenches, Poyang Lake was in a low-lying area, and the situation was not clear, but it could be seen from the shells that kept flying into the field that the control of the war was still in the hands of the imperial army, and the two warships were stored like fortresses, although Jiang Haoran was easy to calculate, he actually dug a tunnel to the ferry in such a short period of time, intending to sneak attack from behind, but if he wanted to cross the powerful firepower point of these two warships, it was simply looking for death, and the so-called mechanism was too smart, Takahashi Katsuhiko Osa showed a wicked smile on his face, So I thought.

Katsuhiko Takahashi finally figured out why there were only a small number of troops in the city fighting with the imperial army, it turned out that a good show was staged here, he finally appreciated Jiang Haoran's cunning, but he was really not afraid of him, although Jiang Haoran was very terrifying in the rumors of the imperial army, but the real samurai would never be frightened by him.

Katsuhiko Takahashi even stubbornly believed that Jiujiang would be Jiang Haoran's grave, and in a few hours, the Motorized Wing of the Third Division would also arrive at Poyang Lake and attack himself and the Marines from three sides.

At this time, a Japanese soldier was trotting towards him all the way with his buttocks, standing in front of him and saluting, saying: "Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the artillery is ready, ready to fire at any time, please instruct!" ”

And at this moment, there was a roaring sound in the sky, Takahashi Katsuhiko looked at the sky, two zero carrier-based aircraft cut through the sky, straight to the direction of Poyang Lake, naval aviation also arrived, Takahashi Katsuhiko couldn't help but show a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth, and said loudly: "Order, artillery attack for ten minutes!" ”

"Hay!" The herald was ordered to leave quickly.

Takahashi Katsuhiko raised his wrist and looked at the gold watch on his wrist, and then turned to say: "Ono-kun, it's eight o'clock and 10 o'clock, and the attack will start in ten minutes, and you will lead two brigades of the imperial army to clear the main force of the Chinese army at the Poyang Lake ferry, while Ogi-kun will continue to lead his brigade to clear out the remnants of the Chinese army in the city, I hope the battle will end before the morning!" ”

"Hay!" A Japanese commander who looked like a middle saber stepped forward with a saber on his shoulder, crossed his legs and waisted, then drew his command knife, turned around and walked to the front of the team that had already been waiting for him murderously, and did pre-battle mobilization with a roar, and suddenly ushered in the shouts of Japanese soldiers that resounded in the sky.

Katsuhiko Takahashi nodded in satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, a signal soldier quickly ran over.

Katsuhiko Takahashi said: "Call Wing Captain Okajima to confirm the current location of the Marines!" ”

"Hay!" The signal corpsman turned and ran to the tent behind him.

The Marine Corps' land combat capability is worrisome, so in this battle, Takahashi Katsuhiko is a well-deserved commander-in-chief, when he found that the China Army appeared at the Poyang Lake ferry, Takahashi Katsuhiko ordered the Marine Corps to draw out two brigades of troops, quickly out of the city, along the Yangtze River to Poyang Lake direction, from the left flank to the China Army to flank the army, now the time has passed half an hour, it stands to reason that they should be almost to the designated location, after all, it is only a few miles away.

Who knew that when the signal corps returned, they told Sù Takahashi Katsuhiko that the marines were still in the city at the moment, and they couldn't get out of it with the Shina Army, to be precise, the troops were scattered and couldn't be collected for the time being.

"Yaga!" Takahashi Katsuhiko suddenly jumped like thunder when he heard this, the imperial army of a wing would actually be scattered by several small detachments of the Zhi Na Army? There are such strange things, Takahashi Katsuhiko was really speechless, but obviously there was no better way, so he had to order the signal corps to call again and urge the Marines to speed up the progress.

In the tunnel, Jiang Haoran was pacing back and forth, he felt a bit like a mouse walking into the bellows at this time, the two ends couldn't get out of breath, the Japanese action in the city did not stop, the progress of the Poyang Lake ferry was extremely unsmooth, the two 75 mountain guns and the artillery were destroyed, the two Japanese gunboats became an insurmountable slash in front of the New Fourth Army, and the bad news came one by one, ten minutes ago, the front reported that the Japanese fighter jets also appeared over the ferry, and dived back and forth to strafe the officers and men of the New Fourth Army, The casualties caused were simply unsightly, and then five minutes later, it was reported that the Japanese army in the direction of the city began to shell, and the shells rained down on the head of the New Fourth Army, and now Lin Long came to report that the Motorized Wing of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army had begun to attack.

"Haoran, you have to hurry up and find a way, if it goes on like this, the New Fourth Army should be finished?" Lin Long's face was gloomy, his hands clenched his fists nervously, and he had a feeling of being anxious but unable to do it.

Since Leng Rushuang came, her job has become to be in charge of the liaison between Jiang Haoran and the New Fourth Army, so she knows everything that is happening ahead, and she is shocked to hear that her comrades are suffering from the cruel test of aircraft, heavy artillery, and heavy troops.

Jiang Haoran picked his head, he was also anxious, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, the chest and back of the snow wolf's combat uniform were full of wet marks, he was more nervous than anyone else, and he also knew that if they couldn't get the ferry within two hours, they would basically have no chance in this operation, because the Japanese warships on the Yangtze River must be on their way to Poyang Lake at this moment, and they entered Poyang Lake through the mouth of the lake to reach the ferry for a maximum of two hours, and when they arrived, the operation of crossing Poyang Lake was basically in vain. Once this breakthrough is unsuccessful, what awaits them can only be total annihilation.

"Haoran, don't worry, think slowly, you will definitely be able to figure out a way, smoke a cigarette first." Leng Rushuang didn't know where to find a cigarette and handed it to Jiang Haoran.

Or Leng Rushuang understands Jiang Haoran, knowing that the more dangerous it is, the more Jiang Haoran must calm down, Jiang Haoran has become very anxious at this time, this is Leng Rushuang has been with Jiang Haoran for so long, the only time she saw him so out of shape in front of people, although she didn't understand a little, even in the battle of defending the city in Nanchang, Jiang Haoran led no more than 10,000 people, facing the siege of three divisions of the Japanese army on three sides, and they could still talk and laugh in front of people, although the battle was dangerous, but in the case of equal numbers, The enemy he faced was only two wings, how could he be so caught off guard?

How can Leng Rushuang understand the struggle in Jiang Haoran's heart, at this moment he is not helpless, after all, the Japanese army only has two gunboats, and the amount of ammunition they carry is limited, but the New Fourth Army has more than 10,000 people, if most of the troops are used to organize waves of cluster charges, and use the flesh and blood of the soldiers to consume the ammunition of the Japanese army, it is estimated that in less than an hour, they should sing the empty city plan, the Japanese army on a gunboat is only 70 people, and the total number is only 140 people, how can it not stop the remaining thousands of soldiers. But in this way, there will really be a mountain of corpses and a river of blood flowing on the side of the ferry, and the New Fourth Army will be hit hard like never before, and it is not easy for GCD to buy some belongings, and Jiang Haoran really didn't dare to give this order until he had to, so he was really entangled at the moment.

Taking the cigarette handed over by Leng Rushuang, Jiang Haoran looked at Leng Rushuang and nodded silently, indicating that he understood, and casually put the cigarette in his mouth, and Leng Rushuang hurriedly stepped forward to help him light it.

Jiang Haoran had just exhaled a puff of smoke when Tang Zhisheng's call came from the walkie-talkie placed on the table.
