(Cat flutter Chinese) "This is the list of supplies and replenishment I just got before I came back, and I said that it was replenished to the new regiment of the Sichuan Army, that is, our own division-level combat units cannot be replenished with full strength, such as the 15th Division, the 11th Division, the 9th Division, the 128th Division, etc., all of which are more or less lacking, and there are too many casualties in the troops every day. The original 36,000 reinforcements have now been filled, and we have no more reinforcements, unless we ...... Draw troops from the second-line troops to fill in. The chief of staff smiled bitterly, took a folder from the table, opened it, and pushed it in front of Zhang Fakui to explain.

"More than 30,000 additional soldiers are not enough! Why didn't you report this earlier? Zhang Fakui took it and looked at it hurriedly, and then asked his chief of staff, with an indescribable melancholy in his eyes.

"The casualties in various departments are increasing every day, the troops are replenishing every day, and the military registration department has already been busy, and it can't be counted at all, if I hadn't personally run this morning, it is estimated that this casualty report will still come out." The chief of staff rubbed his forehead and said with a bitter face.

"In this way, the new group of things is a little more radical for me Zhang, and the officials force the people to rebel, and there is really a reason for it." Zhang Fakui sighed, slowly closed the folder and muttered to himself.

"Report!" At that moment, a voice suddenly shouted from outside the door.

"Come in." Zhang Fakui took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Report to the commander and chief of staff, this is an urgent telegram of commendation from the Central Military Commission." One of the soldiers who walked in first stood up and saluted, quickly stepped forward and handed a folder in his hand to the chief of staff who greeted him, and then saluted again and turned around and walked out.

"Commander, take a look, whatever you say, what's coming, the new regiment, the 15th Division, and the 11th Division's Xingang Commendation Order has come down." The chief of staff first flipped through it and took a cursory look, and then handed the folder to Zhang Fakui with a smile and said.

“…… Is the Central Military Commission quite efficient at this time? After reading the message, Zhang Fakui immediately showed a slight smile on his face, nodded and said with satisfaction.

The first few sentences of the telegram sent this time were all in praise of him as the commander of the corps, and in the subsequent telegram, Xingang's exploits were equally divided among the 15th Division, the 11th Pre-Division, and Fu Zhiyong's new regiment.

As a matter of fact, the telegram reporting the exploits in battle this time was drafted by Li Jue, commander of the 70 th Army, and it was only after it was reported to the Corps Headquarters that it was continued to be reported to the Central Military Commission; how could Zhang Fakui, the commander-in-chief, not know the content of the telegram, but the telegram sent out to report the victory was one thing, and the telegram of commendation sent back by the Central Military Commission was another thing.

Because they have exterminated the Red Army and fought against local warlords over the years, it is very common for the war achievements to be reported with water, and the Central Military Commission has already thoroughly understood the catty of this, if you don't give some benefits to dredge and dredge, often the war achievements will be discounted and then issued a commendation order, but this commendation order is a rare exception, the commendation is not only not discounted, but also deliberately exaggerated his Zhang Fakui's meaning of leading the troops.

"Commander, what do you think this new regiment should do? In the telegram, they were praised a lot, and they should be immediately transferred back to Wuhan for reorganization, and now we really can't do anything wrong with them. The chief of staff looked at Zhang Fakui, who was in a better mood, and reminded tentatively.

"Hmm...... Since this is what Chairman Jiang meant, then we can't do anything too much, the king's order cannot be violated, so let's do it, you come forward for me to appease them, and the matter of beating people and disobeying orders today will not be pursued, this kid has risen too fast, and he may become a terrible figure in the future, and you will come forward to read out the commendation order, this favor must be given to me to come back, this kid can fight, and maybe we will still need him after the relationship is good. Zhang Fakui put down the folder in his hand and thought for a while, then ordered to the chief of staff.

"I understand, Commander, don't worry, I'll handle it properly." The Chief of Staff stood up and nodded in response as soon as he took the folder from scratch.

"Wait......" Just as the chief of staff was about to leave, Zhang Fakui stopped him again.

"Commander, do you have any other orders?" The chief of staff looked back at Zhang Fakui and asked.

"You transfer another batch of weapons and equipment from the logistics department to them, and ...... Capable and loyal officers and men from various units of the Guangdong Army were transferred to the new regiment. Zhang Fakui paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking about it, and commanded.

"Commander, what do you mean......" The chief of staff was stunned for a moment after hearing Zhang Fakui's order, but then he understood Zhang Fakui's intentions.

"Go ahead and do it." Zhang Fakui didn't say it explicitly, but just waved his hand and asked the chief of staff to carry it out quickly.

"Humble duty understands." The chief of staff nodded, and then strode out of the war room.

At this point, the mission of Fu Zhiyong's new regiment in Jiujiang was completely over, but they did not have the opportunity to report back to the Sichuan Army, but were directly ordered to rush to Wuhan to accept the rectification and reorganization of the Central Military Commission......

With the departure of Fu Zhiyong and them, the battle in Jiujiang is also deteriorating as expected, on the artillery position near the Suojiang Tower, our ** officers and soldiers had a fierce battle with the Japanese minesweeper formation advancing along the river, and immediately opened fire and injured a Japanese minesweeper, and the rest of the Japanese ships had to retreat in a hurry in order to avoid greater losses, although this artillery battle repelled the Japanese minesweeping fleet, but our ** artillery positions all had large casualties, including two 155 mm battle defense guns, and more than 100 officers and soldiers were killed. The ability to counterattack is greatly reduced.

At noon, the Japanese army dispatched the strength of an infantry wing, under the cover of its fierce artillery fire, to break through the two lines of defense on the periphery of Jiujiang, and launched a fierce attack on the position of the 90th Division defending the right flank of Jiujiang City.

In the early morning of 26 July, more than 10 Japanese warships poured into the Jiujiang City area again, launching a fierce artillery bombardment of our Jiujiang City and the surrounding city defense positions, and the key area of the bombardment was the defense position along the river of our 9th Division, intending to open a breakthrough along the Yangtze River line, covering the direct landing of the marines in the Jiujiang Yangtze River area, and cooperating with the Botian Detachment and the infantry wing of the 106th Division in the west to flank our Jiujiang defense troops from both sides.

After dawn, the Japanese army dispatched more than 30 enemy planes to frantically strafe and bomb over our Jiujiang urban area, and our air force fleet stationed in Wuhan immediately rushed to the Jiujiang area to provide air combat support.

Half an hour later, our air force fleet rushed to the skies over the Jiujiang battlefield, and immediately launched a desperate fight with the enemy planes at high altitudes; due to the lack of antiaircraft artillery units and anti-aircraft combat weapons in our first unit, our air force could only fight alone; although the pilots of our air force fought bravely and tenaciously, but in the end, because the performance of the fighters was poor, the number was at an absolute disadvantage, and the losses were very huge, and many fighters were shot down by the Japanese army over Jiujiang.

Taking advantage of this air battle, the officers and men defending the city of Jiujiang bombarded the Japanese enemy ships along the river with heavy artillery fire, and after firing at each other for more than three hours, the Japanese warships began to release smoke screens to cover their retreat.

Under the cover of smoke screens, the Japanese warships took the opportunity to lay down more than 20 landing craft and quickly assault the positions of the 27th Regiment of the 9th Division in the vicinity of the four wharves of Jiujiang, and the officers and men of the 27th Regiment responded calmly, and when the enemy approached about 300 meters, they had concentrated the light and heavy machine guns of the whole regiment to fire fiercely at the enemy, sinking 7 or 8 Japanese landing craft, more than 100 Japanese troops were killed or drowned, and the remaining 10 or so Japanese landing craft fled in confusion and failed to attack the defensive position of our 27th Regiment. Then, the artillery on the banks of our river carried out jamming fire on the retreating enemy ships, and one of them hit an enemy ship, which was immediately hit and caught fire.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the 9th Division of our ** Reserve received an order from the army commander Li Hanxun, "The main force of the enemy Japanese army is attacking the defensive position of the 90th Division on the right flank of our army, and the focus of the enemy's operation is to flank our Jiujiang defenders on two sides. At this time, the artillery fire of the Japanese ships and the strafing of the planes became even more frenzied.

After the Japanese warships were frustrated in their attempt to land at the four piers, they immediately went up the Shuojiang River and arrived at the river around the Longkai River to assemble and stand by.

At 12 o'clock at noon, the Japanese ships released smoke again, put down more than 30 landing craft and once again launched an attack on the defensive position of the 27th Regiment of the 9th Division of our reserve along the river, and the 27th Regiment of our ** Regiment fought fiercely with the Japanese army for more than 1 hour, sinking 3 Japanese landing craft, and the rest of the Japanese landing craft immediately turned around, and successfully boarded the riverbank defense position of the 26th Regiment of the 9th Division of our ** Reserve Division on the other side of Binjiang Road, and the 26th Regiment of the 9th Division of our ** Reserve Division immediately organized the officers and men of the whole regiment to launch a desperate counterattack charge. Launched a fierce gun battle and white-knuckle combat with nearly 300 Japanese troops who landed, annihilating more than 160 Japanese landing infantry, and the rest of the remnants of the enemy could not resist our ** counterattack charge, and hurriedly retreated in a landing craft, and our ** 26th Regiment took advantage of the Japanese army's escape to sink several Japanese landing craft to ensure that the position along the river was not lost.

At the same time, our reserve 9th Division received a report on the battle situation from the military headquarters of the 64th Army, and learned that our ** 90th Division was entering a white-hot stage of fierce fighting with the Japanese invaders, and the casualties on both sides were very heavy, and the military headquarters of the 64th Army had sent a division of the 61st Division to urgently go to reinforcements.

Zhang Yanchuan, commander of the 9th Reserve Division, immediately called on the officers and men to work as one, resolutely reject the enemy outside the city, and swear to defend Jiujiang City.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the focus of the Japanese warships' artillery fire shifted to the area between Bali Lake west of the Longkai River, and carried out intensive bombardment of our defense on this side.
