The morale of the domestic army and the people was greatly boosted, and the determination to resist was extremely firm.

At this time, the defeat of the Yue army in the northwest had already aroused strong dissatisfaction from the Yue Ben base camp and the Emperor of the Yue Ben, and the central command decided to remove the headquarters of the Yue army stationed in Mongolia, and Lian Shaofan was sent back to China. This Ishihara Waner is known as the brain of the Kwantung Army, and he and Itako Seishiro are a pair of very good friends, and the 918 incident can be said to have been provoked by them.

After the arrival of this Ishihara Wan'er, he immediately set up a new headquarters of the Mongolian Corps, and took the initiative to shrink the strength of the army at this time, the Mongolian Corps only had two Reading Garrison Infantry Brigade and more than 5,000 pseudo-Mongolian troops, and the five garrison brigades were completely annihilated by Zhang Mingyu, and the 26th Division and the Second Mixed Brigade were also annihilated by Zhang Mingyu and led the Reading Force Division (Reading Army) respectively.

After arriving in Datong, Ishihara felt that his troops were insufficient, and he sent a telegram to the base camp of the Yue army, requesting: "At least two or three more divisions and regiments will be sent to the base camp to resist the attack of the Chinese army, otherwise the army will completely lose control of Mongolia and other places." ”

After receiving Ishihara's telegram, Hideki Tojo, chief of staff of the Chinese army, ordered that a new division and regiment be immediately organized from China and incorporated into the Mongolian Corps, and an infantry brigade and a puppet Manchurian army division from the Kwantung Army should be transferred to the Mongolian Corps.

During the period when the Reading Force was vigorously recruiting and training troops, Ishihara Guaner was also reorganizing the new garrison corps in Mongolia, and he reorganized the two new reserve divisions transferred from China into the 107th and 108th Divisions of the Mongolian Army respectively, and a brigade transferred from the Kwantung Army and the original two garrison reading brigades were combined into the 109th Division, a division of the puppet Mongolian army, about 5,000 people, and a full division of the puppet Manchu army of more than 10,000 people.

In addition, Ishihara Waner also built a large number of fortifications in Datong, and the cunning Ishihara Waner knew that he could not defeat the reading division led by Zhang Mingyu with the existing forces in his hands, so he began to build a large number of fortifications, as long as the army captured Wuhan, it was time for him to counterattack.

At this time, it was already August of the 27th year of the Republic of China, the defense of Wuhan, the army had invaded the vicinity of Tianjia Town, [***] soldiers struggled to block, and the fierce battle between the two sides was very fierce.

After the Yue army captured Jiujiang, the Yue army on the south bank of the Yangtze River was divided into two routes, and the 106th Division of Songpu attacked De'an along the Nanxun Road. On August 11, the Botian detachment and the marines continued to attack along the Jiangxi River with naval ships, preparing to attack the next strategic point of Ruichang, and on August 11, they successfully landed at the port northeast of Ruichang and broke the counterattack of the defender Sun Tongxuan's 12th Army and attacked Ruichang. The 3rd Army, reinforced by the 32nd Army Corps of Townenburg's Division, fought hard.

In late August, the 9th Division also arrived in Ruichang under the escort of warships, and the 6th Brigade of the Forward Brigade was like a bamboo after landing, attacking Liyu Mountain, Bijia Mountain and other important places one after another. On August 24, Ruichang was captured. After the occupation of Ruichang, Maruyama Masao's 6th Brigade was supposed to attack southwest and cut off the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, but when he saw that the 106th and 101st Divisions of Nanxun Road were beaten by Xue Yue's 1st Corps, he felt incredible, and killed him in a hurry. Maruyama led his troops into the Minshan Mountains and plunged directly behind the defenders on the front of Nanxun Road.

Xue Yue also thought that the Sichuan army lied about the military situation, and he gave the 74th Army an order to let the 74th Army send a brigade to drive away the enemy in Minshan and cover the safety of the defenders on the front of Nanxun Road. A brigade sent by the 74th Army was almost dumpled by devils. Zhou Zhidao of the 151st Brigade immediately came back to his senses, and led the troops to fight and withdraw at the same time.

After receiving the report, Wang Yaowu was also afraid that something would happen to the 151st Brigade, so he hurriedly led other troops of the 51st Division to support, but who knew that the 51st Division was not an opponent when it went together. The 51st Division was beaten back and forth, and Yu Jishi finally figured out the enemy's strength and number at this time, and hurriedly led all the other troops of the 74th Army to rush to support. But it still didn't retreat.

By September 3, the Maruyama detachment occupied Huimaling, and the 4th Army, 64th Army, and 18th Army of the frontal defenders of Nanxun Road were threatened and forced to retreat, and retreated to the next line of defense, Wushimen, and continued to hold on. The fierce offensive of the Maruyama Brigade was finally withheld. The Maruyama Brigade returned to Ruichang on its own to join the 9th Division Guijian and the Botian Detachment to continue its westward march along the Yangtze River, while at the same time attacking with the 27th Division in the direction of Jixi. The 30th Army and the 18th Army and other units fought one after another in the area along the Ruichang-Wuning road, and the enemy could not move an inch.

At this time, the aircraft production lines and tank production lines in Zhang Mingyu's No. 1 and No. 2 arsenals had been prepared and put into production, and Zhang Mingyu personally put two firecrackers into operation for the smooth operation of the production line.

Zhang Mingyu returned to Ordos with his guard company, at this time the streets of Ordos were relatively lively, the devils were beaten away, and the pedestrians on the streets gradually increased, although from time to time there was a team of patrols patrolling back and forth, but the people who did business on the street were not afraid, and some people also gave their own eggs and other items to those patrolling Reading Army soldiers, none of these soldiers accepted, a soldier said: "Fellow countryman, we are disciplined, and we can't take people's things indiscriminately." ”

But the older people said, "Take it, children, for this is our heart, take it!" ”

"Uncle! We really can't accept it, and our army commander has a rule that no one is allowed to take a stitch from the common people indiscriminately, and he is responsible for military law. The warrior said.

"You just accept it, if your commander wants to punish me, let him punish me!" An old man said: "You take these eggs and eat more, only when you eat your body strongly, can you go to the battlefield to fight devils well!" ”

"But we really can't take it, uncle, just take it back! We understood the kindness of the villagers, and a squad leader stood up and said.

At this time, Zhang Mingyu came with the guard company, and when he saw that the two sides were arguing, he stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?" When the soldiers saw Zhang Mingyu, they hurriedly saluted: "Junzuo, these villagers have to give us some condolences, we don't want it, but the villagers are too enthusiastic・・・・・・

Zhang Mingyu turned to those people and said: "Fellow villagers, we understand your kindness, this year's grain harvest is poor, and your own food may not be enough to eat, so you should keep these things for the winter." ”

The old man who spoke just now said again: "General Zhang, you are killing devils on the front line, and that's all we can do. ”

In the end, Zhang Mingyu really couldn't refuse, he asked Tie Niu to take out twenty yuan from his pocket, and then handed it to the blind date, and said: "Uncle, the soldiers of my reading army can never take the things of the common people for nothing, we have accepted these things, but you also accept the money, just when we buy yours." ”

"We can't ask for your money, you have to take these things!" The old man is still insisting.

Zhang Mingyu said: "Uncle, you must accept this money!" After saying that, he stuffed the ocean in his hand into his hand, and then walked towards his military headquarters with the guard company.
