Chapter 1061: Confused
Chapter 1061 is confused
Without Wang Jingjiu's explanation, Sun Lianzhong's phone on the other end had already hung up.
If Wang Jingjiu thought just now that it was the friendly troops who pinned down the 13th Division for him, then now he is completely lost.
What the hell is going on? What the hell is going on?
There must be a reason why the 13th Division of the Japanese Army could not retreat for no reason.
"Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to Commander Wang, ordering him to arrange for scouts to track the tracks of the 13th Division and find out their strategic intentions." Wang Jingjiu was not a fool, and he immediately ordered Wang Jiaben of the 79th Army to investigate.
"Yes."
Wang Liang did not expect that such a small action would turn the entire battle around, and the originally shaky defense line of the national * army had another chance to breathe.
There is an English ballad: "A nail is lost, a horseshoe nail is lost; lost a hoof nail and broke a warhorse; Broke a war horse and lost a king; Lost a king, lost a war; Lost a war, lost an empire. ”
Today, however, it is the opposite, the Seventh Division is like an iron nail, and it is precisely such an iron nail that completely disrupts the deployment of the Japanese.
The difficulties on the side of the Kuomintang were temporarily solved, and the 13th Division of the Japanese Army was the vanguard of the attack, and now the 13th Division suddenly turned around, and the other divisions that had lost their main forces were naturally forced to terminate the offensive.
Praise ramp.
"Boss, boss, no, there is a Japanese army in the southeast that is moving rapidly in our direction."
"Commander, a large number of Japanese troops have also been found in the southwest direction, as well as tanks, and the marching speed is also very fast, it seems that the target is us."
Suddenly hearing the report of the soldiers, Wang Liang was a little surprised, he expected the Japanese army to make a move, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
"How many Japanese soldiers are there?" Wang Liang walked outside the tent, the rain was still falling, and there was no trend of abating.
He didn't expect that the Japanese army would send troops to check on the side of the Baochuan Road during the heavy rain, which shows the authenticity and strategic value of the information obtained from Sakurai.
"It's raining so hard that I can't see how many people there are, and if you hadn't set up a forward observation post, we'd probably not have been able to spot them." The drenched Observation Post soldier reported.
Wang Liang went up and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, hurry up and change your clothes, don't catch a cold." ”
"Yes!" The soldiers' hearts warmed, and their fighting spirit was suddenly high, which was due to the concern and encouragement from the commander.
"From the time the Japanese army was discovered at the observation post to the time the soldiers came back to report the news, we still have at least half an hour to prepare. No matter how many Japanese troops there are, we will occupy the right time and place. The heavy rain has made the road of the slope more difficult, and we are in danger to defend. Next, I gave the battle order, and when all the soldiers at the observation post were withdrawn, the first battalion immediately removed all the planks on the trestle to prevent the Japanese from passing. The second and third battalions immediately entered the position and were ready to meet the battle, and the fourth battalion was retained as a reserve to deal with unexpected situations. Wang Liang quickly arranged.
It's just that this time what he didn't know was that the 7th Division was facing the fierce Japanese 13th Division.
Although the 13th Division was not reorganized this time, in addition to the brigade that was completely annihilated by Wang Liang, there were still seven brigades participating in the Battle of Changde, and there were 10,000 people.
Because of the death order of the division commander Chiluli, the squad leaders did not dare to delay, and after withdrawing from the battlefield, they all marched towards the Baochuan Road as fast as possible, and soon a brigade arrived first.
The battle began when the Japanese captain sent a small group of soldiers to reconnoiter and was shot and killed by all the soldiers of the 7th Division.
Both sides used artillery to bombard, the 13th Division used its ability to watch the house, and suddenly the position of the 7th Division fell into a sea of fire, even though the rock mass was very hard, but it was still destroyed under the bombardment of artillery fire, and the Japanese firepower was obviously superior to that of the 7th Division.
But the attack did not go well, without the trestle, the Japanese had no way to charge, and could only shoot at the New Fourth Army on the opposite hill through a deep ravine.
The progress of the sappers in erecting the trestle bridge was also very difficult, and often the devil sappers were beaten to death by the soldiers of the New Fourth Army before they completed the first step, and the better ones died on the rock mass, and they were almost directly shot and fell into the canyon, falling to pieces.
Even so, the Japanese engineers continued to press upwards one after another, and at the same time, their firepower gradually increased, trying to suppress the New Fourth Army.
Command of the 10th Army.
"Commander-in-Chief, Commander Wang has ascertain the whereabouts of the 13th Division." The staff officer took the telegram and ran over to report to Wang Jingjiu, commander-in-chief of the group army.
"Tell me quickly, where did the 13th Division go?" Wang Jingjiu couldn't wait, he had already done a lot of deductions on the sand table, considering a variety of possible strategic intentions of the Japanese army, but they were all vetoed one by one, and now he was eager to know where the 13th Division was? What to do?
According to Commander Wang, the Japanese 13th Division advanced in the direction of the Baochuan Road, and as soon as it arrived, a fierce exchange of fire began, and the gunfire became more and more intense. The Japanese also sent aviation to bomb the vicinity. The staff officer reported.
"Slopes?" Wang Jingjiu quickly found the location of the Bao Chute on the sand table, but he was even more puzzled, "Isn't the Bao Chute occupied by the Japanese army?" Was it Commander Wang's troops who reoccupied this place? That's not right, the location here is important, but the Japanese can't attack so fiercely. ”
Wang Jingjiu is a veteran driver, and in the battle just now, the Japanese army did not run out of the air force to carry out bombing, but as soon as there were signs of rain, the bombers in the sky immediately stopped their mission and returned home, which shows the Japanese army's protection of the air force.
But now that it is raining heavily, it can be described as madness that it chose to take off for a bombing mission under such bad flying conditions.
It is important to know that even in the 21st century, when flying technology is developed, it is common practice to suspend flights at airports on rainy days, because the probability of accidents on rainy days is too high.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the 79th Army has no troops stationed at Baochu Road." Staff officer.
"What? Not one of ours?" Today, Wang Jingjiu's confusion was too much, and his head was about to explode again, so he slowed down, waved his hand at the staff officer, and said, "Okay, you go down, let Wang Jiaben continue to keep an eye on the 13th Division for me, and determine who these little Japan are fighting with." ”
"Understood." The staff officer gave a military salute and withdrew.
Wang Jingjiu was on the sofa, pinching his eyebrows with one hand, and grabbing the phone with the other, he wanted to report the situation to Sun Lianzhong, the acting commander-in-chief, immediately.
