Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji's inquiry immediately made Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura give him an answer, but Major General Keiichi Aoki, commander of the 136th Infantry Brigade on the side, hurriedly offered advice: "Your Excellency the division commander, since Your Excellency the commander has questions about the results of our operation, then we will let him come and see it for himself, I wonder what His Excellency the division commander thinks?" ”

"Yaga, Your Excellency Okamura is far away in Anqing now, how can he get here, even if he is nearby, he will not come to see us fight." Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura's tone was very gloomy, as an old acquaintance of Okamura Ninji, he knew this top boss better than anyone else, just as Okamura Ninji knew him as well.

"His Excellency Commander Okamura Ninji can't come, but that doesn't mean that others can't come, and as long as the person sent by His Excellency Okamura sees the Shina army surrounded by our division, then the doubts in his heart will be greatly alleviated. In order to prevent the Chinese troops from escaping across the lake, I suggest that His Excellency the division commander ask His Excellency Okamura Ninji for operational guidance and send the air force to support our army in the operation. Major General Keiichi Aoki's facial expression was extremely hideous, and he almost gritted his teeth when he spoke. Although the casualties of the 136th Infantry Brigade were the fewest among the three routes, only Major General Keiichi Aoki knew that it was not that the squadron did not have the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the 136th Brigade, but the hateful Chinese army did not resist his troops, and each time he wounded some of his soldiers and then quickly retreated.

Therefore, the 136 Brigade is indeed the least casualty, but the number of wounded in the 136 Brigade is the largest in the Three Route Army, and if a soldier is not injured, there must be two healthy soldiers to take care of the wounded, so the 136 Brigade is also the unit with the fastest decline in combat effectiveness.

Major General Keiichi Aoki's proposal was in the hands of Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, who knew that Okamura Ninji trusted Lieutenant General Tokugawa, the commander of the Air Force. If someone from the Air Force testifies, then Ninji Okamura will definitely believe it. At that moment, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura laughed and said: "Yo Xi, Aoki-kun is worthy of being a rare young man in my Imperial Japanese Army, and after I take Jiujiang, I will recommend you to His Excellency Commander Commander Okamura Ninji." ”

"Thank you very much for the training of His Excellency the Division Commander, Aoki Minggan Gonai." Major General Keiichi Aoki said hypocritically, but in fact, deep down he knew that Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji looked down on this division commander who had just been transferred from the reserve force to the field unit, so he was skeptical of the battle report submitted by the 106th Division. But Lieutenant General Junroku Matsuura is his boss, as the saying goes, the county official is not as good as the current management, Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji does not look down on Lieutenant General Junroku Matsuura, but Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura This is not something that he can offend as a major general.

Besides, his boss is notoriously difficult in the army, and his heart is notoriously small, and it is unwise to offend such a high-ranking officer who is powerful and very difficult, so Major General Aoki Keiichi can only silently bear the words of Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura.

"Order, the 136th Brigade and Regiment will increase the intensity of the suspension of the attack, and the dispatch soldier will immediately send a report to His Excellency Commander Okamura Ninji, saying that the clothing of the troops on the opposite side of the China is too mixed, and there are one division of the 74th Army, the 66th Army, the Second Reserve Division, the Ninth Reserve Division, the Jiujiang River Defense Force, and the guard unit of the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters, and now there are about 8,000 people in the encirclement of our army, and the firepower of our department is limited, and I request Your Excellency the Commander to give operational guidance, and quickly send the main force of the Air Force to support our department, long live the Empire of Japan, long live His Majesty the Emperor." Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura solemnly gave orders one after another, and Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura at this time was more like a commander.

Hiding in the military fortress that had already been built, Wang Hu, the commander of the first regiment and the first battalion directly under the military region, whispered to Zhang Long, the commander of the second battalion: "Lao Zhang, it's not right, how is the firepower of the little devil weakened, and the troops participating in the frontal attack are obviously fewer. ”

"Yes, what the hell is the little devil going to do, but don't worry, in the words of the commander, with the little IQ of that old devil of Junrokuro Matsuura, he can't play any tricks, besides, our mission has been completed, and we can withdraw in half an hour on the top, and the Japanese army has no warships and ships, how can they catch up with us, even if he plays any conspiracy, he can't catch us, can he still fly to the sky?" Zhang Long said in a disdainful tone, the continuous victories during this period of time have greatly increased the confidence of these officers of the Eighth Route Army, who were extremely afraid of the Japanese army before, and now the ordinary Japanese troops are no longer making them feel threatened. But they still feel very tricky for the kind of big guys who fly high in the blue sky and can only be beaten passively. ,

Speaking of this, Wang Hu muttered: "Fly to the sky....... fly to the sky....... fly to the sky" As he spoke, Wang Hu suddenly roared loudly: "No, Lao Zhang, let's withdraw quickly, I think it won't be long before the Japanese planes arrive, and it won't be so easy for us to withdraw at that time." ”

Although Zhang Long's combat command ability is not as good as Wang Hu's, he is also a grassroots officer trained by Han Yunhua himself, and he still has this foresight. After listening to Wang Hu's words, Zhang Long thought for a while and said with a pale face: "I think that although Lieutenant General Matsuura Junrokuro, this old devil, may not use the plane, but it is also very dangerous for us to stay here, since the task is completed, then let's withdraw, the first battalion will board the ship first and be covered by our second battalion, and the first battalion will moor the ship to the shore to cover the second battalion after boarding, and the four gunboats sent by the commander have also arrived nearby, and we will also leave a big gift for the little devil when we leave." ”

The elite cultivated by the Inner Mongolia Military Region is not something that anyone can fight, look at the time is almost up, and the first battalion and the second battalion alternately cover the retreat. At this time, in order to wait for the arrival of the air force, the 106th Division deliberately slowed down the intensity of the attack. The Japanese troops who participated in the attack on the front line realized that something was wrong when it was too late, and the first and second battalions were already nearly ten miles from the shore.

When Major General Keiichi Aoki, accompanied by a group of middle- and lower-ranking officers, boarded the positions of the 1st and 2nd Battalions, he saw that the positions were empty, not even a single corpse remained, only a dozen or so worn-out machine guns that had been fired and confetti from the explosion of firecrackers all over the ground, and ropes were still tied to the triggers of the dozen or so machine guns, and a large number of empty bullet casings were scattered next to the machine guns.

Angry, Major General Keiichi Aoki kicked aside a heavy machine gun on the side of his leg and scolded loudly: "Eight Geyalu, the great cunning of the Great Person..." Before he could finish scolding, a violent explosion suddenly sounded around him, and then Major General Keiichi Aoki knew nothing and fell into a deep coma.

Listening to the sound of explosions in the distance, Wang Hu said, "Lao Zhang, it seems that you buried those tricky mines that worked, but I don't know if you caught a big fish?" ”

"It's good to catch a few small fish, you still don't expect big fish, you must know that the Japanese army is generally an ordinary soldier will rush to the front line, those generals and lieutenant generals rarely go to the position, and those tricks and thunders can blow up a Shaozuo It is very profitable." Zhang Long's tone was very excited, he didn't know that the mine he had planted under the machine gun had indeed caught a very large shark -- Major General Keiichi Aoki, the commander of the 136th Infantry Brigade, was seriously injured.

In this battle, the Japanese 106th Division lost more than 2,100 people, including 121 middle, high-ranking and grass-roots officers, including Major General Keiichi Aoki, commander of the Major General Brigade Commander, and the casualties were not insignificant. But what made Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura most depressed was that the 106th Division obviously had the upper hand in this battle, how could it still suffer such heavy losses in the end.

Compared with the casualties of the troops, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura was more concerned about being scolded by Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji, and when he learned that the squadron ** team slipped under the nose of the 106th Division, Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji was greatly annoyed, and directly sent a report to Lieutenant General Matsuura Junrokuro to scold him. What made Lieutenant General Junroku Matsuura unbearable the most was that Okamura Ninji directly scolded him for being stupid Matsuura and incompetent Matsuura.

Enraged, Matsuura Junrokuro ordered the 106th Division to leave an infantry brigade to garrison Duchang County, and that afternoon gathered a large number of Chinese fishing boats to force their way across the lake, and he wanted to make the opposing Shina army pay a heavy price.

On the afternoon of October 26th... The main force of the 106th Division landed in Ximiao Village on the west bank of Poyang Lake, and immediately established a beachhead at the head of Ximiao Village, facing Jiang Spruce's group.

When Han Yunhua received the news that the main force of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army had crossed Poyang Lake, the expression on his face was very strange, and he was excited and excited, and he only saw Wan Guoquan, Wang Yuanhua, Li Dayong and other senior generals in a daze.

Han Yunhua didn't look at the stunned expressions of Li Dayong and the others, but immediately grabbed the phone and ordered Jiang Yunshan, who was commanding the battle in the frontline position: "I am Han Yunhua, and now the task of your department is to continue to lure the enemy into the depths and take the main force of the Japanese army all the way to the mountainous area southwest of Dechang, where will the main force of the military region fight a decisive battle with the 106th Division." But your unit must not give me a shot and run back, the engineer regiment has already built a defensive position for your unit along the line, you don't want to consume at least 3,000 people of the 106th Division when the Japanese army reaches the area of Jilong Mountain, I will transfer the fire support regiment and the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion to your department, all the front-line forces are under your command, whether the pocket array can take effect depends on how tempting your bait is.........."
