Chapter 159: The edifice will be overwhelmed
(Cat flutter Chinese) "Hurry, hurry...... Order the troops to speed up their advance, and they must reach Qijia Town in three hours, and order the first regiment to immediately break away from the large army and advance at full speed, and be the first to arrive at Qijia Town to establish a defensive position, quickly! Gu Jiaqi, the commander of the 128th Division, was riding on a horse at this time, watching the troops march with torches overnight, and the flames were continuously discharged far away, and he immediately frowned and urged the deputy division commander beside him to order.
"Division commander, we are also marching at night now, and our vision is poor, plus there are mostly mountains here, and the roads are rugged and difficult to walk, so it doesn't hurt if you march during the day, but it may be a little difficult to march at night for three hours to reach Qijia Town." At this time, the deputy division commander looked at the troops lined up in two columns and marching rapidly, and said to Gu Jiaqi with a difficult face.
The deputy commander of the 128th Division said this not because he deliberately wanted to delay the speed of the march, but just told the truth, if it was a daytime march from Gutang to Qijia Town, it might not take three hours to arrive, but now it is night, if the current marching speed is followed, it will take at least four to five hours for the troops to reach Qijia Town, so it is indeed difficult for Gu Jiaqi to give the order to arrive in three hours.
"Don't I know what you're talking about! But now we are pressed for time, we can't afford to drag the march, if the troops can arrive a minute early, then we can grab an extra minute to build fortifications, now we hastily withdraw from Gutang, once the Japanese army finds out our whereabouts, then they will definitely bite us tightly, and then want to organize troops to block the pursuit of the Japanese army, then we will pay a greater price than a rapid march, do you understand? Gu Jiaqi turned back to his deputy division commander and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, division commander, I'll send someone down to deliver the order immediately." As soon as the deputy division commander heard the persuasion, he didn't say anything more, even if he said it, it was useless, but it would make Gu Jiaqi have a kind of mustard against him, the deputy division commander.
Gu Jiaqi is really bottomless now, because since the Japanese army launched an attack on July 12, there has been no battle in the Gutang area he defended, but Gu Jiaqi did not dare to let the troops relax at all, for fear that he didn't know when the little devil would mobilize the main force to attack his Gutang, originally he had a 118th division on his side that could come up to support his 128th division at any time, but the battle was not a few days before Li Jue was urgently transferred back, Only one of his divisions was left to defend the farthest section of Jiujiang, how could this make Gu Jiaqi not be afraid, for fear that he would accidentally lose Gutang, and if Jiujiang was lost because of his problems here, then even if he was not shot directly, then he would not want to turn over again in his life.
In fact, Gu Jiaqi's thinking about the movements and objectives of the Japanese army during this period was completely consistent with Fu Zhiyong's thoughts, and they all suspected that the Japanese army's attack on Yong'an, Xunyang, Xingang and Zhaojiayan was a false shot, and the main purpose was to consume and delay the Chinese defenders in these places, so that they would not dare to easily divide their troops to support Gutang when the Japanese army was attacking Gutang with all their might, and gave up supporting the 128th Division in the direction of Gutang for the safety of their respective defense areas.
It's just that Gu Jiaqi is guessing, but Fu Zhiyong has already accurately judged it on the night of the end of the night attack, because when Fu Zhiyong ate the battle of the landed defenders, the Japanese army did not send more follow-up reinforcements to land, and there was no large-caliber naval artillery to provide fire support to the defending Japanese army, which showed that the main fleet of the Japanese army had already withdrawn on the night of the same day.
This is also the purpose of the Japanese army's surprise attack on Zhaojiayan tonight, that is, to contain Zhaojiayan's two divisions and prevent them from dividing their troops to rush to Gutang, after all, Zhaojiayan's two divisions are the closest troops to Gutang, if they don't move, it will be too late for Li Jue to draw troops from Jiujiang or other positions to support.
In addition to Zhaojiayan's two divisions, Fu Zhiyong's Xingang defenders are the closest to Gutang, if Fu Zhiyong's Xingang is to draw troops to support Gutang, the rapid march will take at least six or seven hours to arrive, and then the fucking daylilies will be cold, and the Japanese army will use one or two wings to defeat a national division under the cover of heavy artillery, it is really simple, six or seven hours to say that it is unrealistic, but to say that it is still nine out of ten to defeat it......
"Whoa...... Whoa......"
"Hayouku...... Everyone dispersed at once, be careful. Less than ten minutes after Gu Jiaqi's 128th Division left, two small boats on the river rowed to the riverside of Gutang under the cover of night and quietly docked.
"Sir, I didn't find the figure of the squadron, they may have abandoned their positions and retreated." More than ten minutes later, more than 20 Japanese soldiers hurriedly inspected the ** position in Gutang.
"Go back immediately and inform the wing commander that there is no squadron in Gutang anymore and you can land immediately." As soon as the second lieutenant officer heard that there was no squadron, his originally highly nervous mood immediately relaxed, and he immediately waved to a sergeant.
"Hey!" The soldier said yes, and then ran to the river with his next class of soldiers, ready to sail back.
In less than 20 minutes, the riverside on this side of Gutang was lively, and a large number of Japanese landing ships drove over one after another, and the first batch of nearly 1,000 Japanese troops soon landed ashore.
The first to bring people down was a Japanese officer with the rank of Osa, he was not very tall, his figure was small but he was very strong, his face was thin but his eyes were always cold, and his face had a dull expression, and he couldn't see that his heart was happy, angry, sad, and happy.
"Wing Commander, please go this way, the temporary headquarters of the squadron is here." At this time, the second lieutenant officer who had led the team to reconnoiter first immediately saluted him and said respectfully.
"Well, Yamamu-kun, you've worked hard, let's go, go to the headquarters of the ** squadron and have a look; Inform the troops to accelerate the pace of the landing. The officer nodded and said a word, and then he commanded one of the officers beside him.
"Hey." The junior officer immediately bowed down and agreed, and after the wing commander left with the second lieutenant officer, he straightened up and turned to direct the troops to land......
"Captain, the squadron seems to be in a hurry, and many documents seem to be unable to be taken away for a while, so they can only be burned in a hurry." As soon as the second lieutenant officer approached the headquarters, he explained to the captain of the Wing Commander.
"Hmph, a group of remnants of the army are defeated, and they order the troops to take over the defense of Gutang as soon as they are assembled, and no one is allowed to leave at will without my order." Officer Osa's hand casually flipped through the ashes of the burned documents with a wooden stick, and said casually with a cold snort.
"The squadron is ......," an officer beside the big one asked tentatively.
"They are not our target, if this squadron withdraws directly from the Jiujiang area, then even if their lives are great, otherwise they will be fat in our mouths sooner or later, and I am afraid that they will not be able to escape, and there will be our people to clean them up." Officer Osa's officer glanced back at the subordinate and said in a deep voice that didn't care.
"Not our goal? That Dasa's ......" "Yaga! The Japanese officer was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he wanted to continue to ask tentatively, but he was interrupted by the Japanese army's big shout, and immediately closed his mouth obediently, not daring to say anything more......
"Commander, how long do you think we can hold on to Jiujiang?" At this time, Chen San quietly followed Fu Zhiyong to the front in the dark night with the soldiers of the guard company, and Chen San sent several soldiers to guard the team not far away on all sides of the team to ensure that the team would not be suddenly attacked when it was marching.
"According to the current situation of the enemy and us, if there are no reinforcements here in Jiujiang, at most it can hold three or five days, now the Japanese army is advancing all the way, Anqing, Madang, Pengze, Hukou have fallen one after another, although the Japanese army has suffered a slight setback in Jiujiang at this time, but it has not lost its fighting spirit, as long as the troops are in place, they can attack again at any time, and on the other hand, our army's combat strength is insufficient, the quality of the soldiers is low, Gu Jiaqi's 128th Division is even a unit adapted from the indigenous people of Xiangxi, the combat effectiveness is very low, even if it is really not usefulWe have no chance of winning against the enemy. Fu Zhiyong was silent for a while, and secretly deduced the current battlefield situation in his heart, and then said to Chen San with a solemn face, from Fu Zhiyong's tone, it is not difficult to see that it is difficult to have a chance to turn over when this battle is fought to this extent, and it is only a matter of time before Jiujiang is broken.
"Zhaojiayan and Gutang have been lost, we have lost the most powerful barrier in the east, although it seems that there are still five divisions of troops on our side on the defensive, but the real strength of the army is only three and a half divisions, including a 128th division that plays soy sauce, hey, I really don't know how Commander Li wants to fight this battle." Chen San shook the Mauser 98K sniper rifle in his hand vigorously, and said with a long sigh.
Since the soldiers who followed Fu Zhiyong and Chen San at this time were all elite soldiers who had been strictly screened, and there was nothing to say about Fu Zhiyong's loyalty, so when the two of them talked about these things, they didn't need to worry about affecting the confidence of the soldiers, so they could have such an open discussion.
"If it weren't for the fact that our navy blocked some important rivers along the river with sunken ships and mines, it is estimated that at this time the Japanese ships would have circled behind us and attacked us back and forth, and it is really going to be said that at that time, we are now ten divisions with heavy attrition, even twenty fully equipped infantry divisions may not be able to withstand it, as long as the Japanese artillery shells are sufficient, we will only bow our heads and be bombed, and this battle will be a fucking unequal slaughter." Although Fu Zhiyong is really reluctant to admit that the squadron is not good at fighting, this is a practical problem that has to be admitted.
