Chapter 158: The Movement of the Japanese Army

(Cat flutter Chinese) "I see, I'm not going to give them food . . . v o d t . c o m" Chen San didn't look back, just said a word in a loud voice and left.

"Yuling, you go and get busy with you, I and Dali can just take a look everywhere; Let's go over there. After Fu Zhiyong said a word to Bai Yuling, he greeted Zhang Dali and took the lead in walking into a temporary barracks for wounded soldiers......

The night of July 21, 1938

"Bang ......" "He Xue! What is the situation in the direction of Zhaojiayan now? The door of the telecommunications room, which was originally closed, was suddenly slammed open by Fu Zhiyong, and before he could enter the door, he asked anxiously and loudly, followed by Fu Zhiyong and several other core officers above the battalion commander level, all of whom had the same shocked and anxious expressions as Fu Zhiyong, and their bodies were also disheveled, obviously they had just jumped up from the bed and ran directly here, and their clothes didn't have time to be dressed.

"Zhaojiayan is being attacked by the Japanese army, the telegram just received has been translated, there has been a brigade of devils successfully landed under the cover of artillery fire, the Japanese artillery fire is very fierce, the 53rd Division and the 60th Division stationed in the area were taken by surprise, and are making every effort to organize troops to counterattack to recapture the lost forward position, the two sides are still in a fierce battle, but the battle situation is very unfavorable to our army, regiment commander, you can see for yourself." After He Xue briefly introduced the situation, she handed the newly translated telecommunications folder to Fu Zhiyong.

"The Japanese army sent a small group of elites ashore to sneak attack the alert troops in our forward positions...... The deputy commander of the 53rd Regiment of the 159th Division was killed...... The Japanese fleet was under heavy artillery fire...... The number of enemies who landed exceeded 1,000...... What a fuck! After reading the telegram at a glance, Fu Zhiyong angrily slammed the telecommunications folder on the table, and his lips trembled for a long time before he scolded angrily.

"Hiss......" Liao Peng and the others hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the telecommunications folder and hurriedly read it after taking a breath of cool air, from the content of the telegram, it seems that it will only take more than ten minutes from the discovery of a small group of devils to the successful landing of a large army, just like that, thousands of Japanese troops have landed, how can this landing speed not make everyone shocked, they have secretly calculated in their hearts, if they want to send more than 1,000 people to land ashore in such a short time, How many landing craft do you have to send out at one time to do it?

You must know that the Japanese troops were forced to land under the strong fire attack of the defenders, and this is not just as simple as sending people up to finish the matter, how many Japanese casualties will be in the battle, how many warships and landing craft will be used by the little devils, etc., but there is no important information at all.

"Commander, I don't think it's right." Liao Peng said with a frown after reading the telegram and thinking for a while.

"Yes, Captain, the little devil just exchanged fire with us, and his defense of us should be very clear." Zhang Weidong also said.

"According to common sense, the defenders of Yong'an, Xunyang, and Xingang have been seriously insufficient, and our troops are limited and we can't replenish the troops in time, if the little devils take the opportunity to attack our three places now, it is estimated that we only have one way to retreat and shrink the defensive line, and there is no reason to let the soft persimmon go and attack Zhaojiayan, which is defended by a division and a half!" Zhang Dali also asked with some confusion.

"The little devils must have other intentions in doing this, but what is their purpose?" Fu Zhiyong also pondered a little uncertainly, and for a while he couldn't guess what the real intentions of the Japanese army were.

"Regiment commander, Commander Li Jue sent an urgent telegram, ordering us and the 15th Division and the Pre-11th Division to immediately enter a state of alert, make every effort to ensure the safety of the Xingang area, and respond to the retreat of the 53rd Division and the 60th Division of Zhaojiayan, shrink the defensive line, organize defense on the front line of Xingang and Qijia Town, and ensure the safety of Jiujiang City, in addition, the 128th Division of Gujiaqi in the direction of Gutang has also begun to retreat, and they will withdraw to Qijia Town to organize a new defense." Just when everyone was inexplicable, He Xue took a telegram she had just received and handed it to Fu Zhiyong, and immediately explained to everyone.

"What!" When Fu Zhiyong and the others heard it, they were like being struck by lightning, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

"Isn't this nonsense! At this time, the withdrawal of troops shrinks the direction, isn't it clear that there is a way for the little devil to land comfortably! Chen San was the first to speak with an indignant face.

"That's right, will Li Jue fight in the end, our current troops and equipment are fighting positional warfare with the little devil's army, what is the difference between this and sending him to death?" Zhang Dali also blushed his face and shouted angrily.

"Our current strength is already stretched, except for Gutang and the three divisions stationed in Jiujiang, the other divisions are basically disabled, obviously even if the defense line is not contracted, once the little devil divides a part of the forces to attack Xingang or Xunyang again, then these two places are likely to be occupied by the Japanese army, and then the entire defense of our Jiujiang side will be divided by all halves, the 53rd Division, the 60th Division and the 128th Division will be divided into the interspersed troops of the little devils, If there were no three divisions to assist in the defense, then Jiujiang City would really be unable to hold it, and in my opinion, Commander Li was forced to give the order to retreat. Liao Peng walked to the map at this time and calmly analyzed after checking the situation of the enemy and us.

"Well, our defense troops on this side of Xingang only have a little more than 3,000 troops, if the Japanese army sends warships to cover the Japanese landing operation again, it will be a miracle that we can withstand three hours, the situation in Xunyang is also half a catty to eight taels with us, if these two places are cut off by the Japanese army, then Jiujiang City will be really in big trouble, and it will only be an overnight moment if it is broken by the Japanese army, if it is me to command, I may also adopt the tactics of shrinking the direction, after all, how many troops will fight a big battle, With the tens of thousands of remnants under Commander Li, it is obviously impossible to ensure that every inch of Jiujiang is lost. Fu Zhiyong hurriedly read the message and handed it to Liao Peng, and then said to everyone.

"This ......" Chen San, Zhang Dali and the others were silent when they heard Liao Peng and Fu Zhiyong's words, and they didn't know what to say for a while, after all, they were only thinking about killing the enemy and fighting for every inch of land, but they didn't pay too much attention to the entire layout of the battle.

"Now is not the time to think so much, no matter whether this adjustment is right or wrong, we must carry out the order, Yu Hua, you immediately go and order the troops to be fully alerted, pay special attention to the defense of Zhaojiayan and the peripheral positions along the river, and pay attention to beware of the little devils who make a false shot and attack our Xingang from the newly organized troops." Fu Zhiyong immediately walked to the map and began to mark it with a pen, and casually explained to Yu Hua, the commander of the second battalion.

"Yes, Captain." After hearing Fu Zhiyong's order, Yu Hua immediately saluted and replied, then turned around and walked out of the house to convey the order to the various departments.

"Zhang Dali, order your light artillery battalion to go two kilometers to the east, and prepare to cover the retreat of the 53rd and 60th Divisions." Fu Zhiyong waited until Yu Hua left, and then continued to order Zhang Dali.

"Yes, Captain." Zhang Dali didn't say anything more at this time, anyway, he just carried out whatever orders Fu Zhiyong gave him, after all, Fu Zhiyong would not easily risk the lives of his brothers.

"He Xue, you immediately send a telegram to the 15th Division and the Pre-11th Division, and order their two divisions to arrange two lines of defense in the positions along the river to be ready to fight at any time, once there are really little devils who dare to come again, tell them that even if they fight for me, they must block the enemy, and a little devil cannot let them go ashore until the 53rd and 60th divisions are withdrawn." Fu Zhiyong looked at the map in front of him and ordered He Xue.

"Understood." "Hurry up and send a telegram to contact the 15th Division and the 11th Pre-Division to convey the order of the regiment commander." After He Xue agreed, he walked to the communication soldier who was waiting by the radio station and ordered him directly.

"Liao Peng, you are in charge of commanding here for the time being, and I will take Chen San's guard company to Qijia Town to see the situation first." Fu Zhiyong said to Liao Peng after drawing a few routes on the map, and without waiting for Liao Peng to answer, he grabbed the steel helmet that was still on the table just now and walked out.

"Regiment commander, let me take someone with you about the reconnaissance, you don't have to participate in the operation in person, stay here and command the overall situation." Chen San casually took off his Mauser 98K sniper rifle from his back, and said in a deep voice to Zhiyong.

"No, if I can't see the situation along the way from us to Qijia Town, I always can't let go of it, if I am not even familiar with the geographical environment, then how can I lead the troops to fight." Fu Zhiyong waved his hand and replied directly.

"Regiment Leader......" Chen San saw that Fu Zhiyong didn't listen to his advice, so he immediately went up two steps to block the door, wanting to persuade Zhiyong again.

No matter how you say it, Fu Zhiyong is also the supreme commander of the defense of the Xingang area, although Fu Zhiyong's military rank is not high, but his power is very large, and now the situation along the way to Qijia Town is not very clear, if there is any accident, Chen San really can't explain to these old brothers.

"What? You dare not listen to my words, I don't want to say it a second time, either you go and gather the troops and follow me immediately, or Lao Tzu and I will remove you from your post right now and get out of the way of Lao Tzu! I don't have time to waste time here. Fu Zhiyong saw that Chen San actually dared to disobey his orders and stop himself, this fire immediately came up, and immediately pointed at Chen San's nose and roared, as long as Chen San said half a word, he immediately took out his gun and killed him.

"I ...... Ay! Chen San peeked at Liao Peng on the side, only to see Liao Peng gently shake his head at him, signaling him not to stop Fu Zhiyong anymore, Chen San sighed helplessly, turned around and took the lead in going out to gather the team of the guard company, and the exit was also given to Fu Zhiyong, no longer blocked.

"Liao Peng, you are optimistic about this place, there must be no mistakes before I come back." After Fu Zhiyong turned around and explained to Liao Peng again, he walked out quickly without looking back......
