Chapter 145: Change of Generals on the Battlefield
Yamauchi Masamune touched the vicinity of the railway bridge, since the bridge can be built here, the river must be relatively narrow, and the water flow is relatively gentle, as soon as Lieutenant General Yamanuchi arrived here, he fell in love with this river crossing point, this is it, cross the river from here!
There were also Nationalist troops guarding the area, and it was a regiment of the 26th Army that stubbornly intercepted the Japanese troops crossing the river. However, the number of Japanese troops crossing the river at one time was too many, and when the weather was clear, the devil planes came to help in the battle, and carried out a non-stop and fierce bombardment of our army's defensive positions from the sky. Although the officers and men of the country fought bravely, they still could not stop the devils from crossing the river.
Sawada Shigeru gave Yamauchi more support this time, and three hundred rubber boats were airdropped at once, and five transport planes alone were dispatched! Yamauchi Masafumi also learned the lesson of the last river crossing, and he didn't wait for any rubber boats to return and then go to the second batch, so he simply divided the three hundred rubber boats into two groups, and when the first wave was about to reach the opposite bank, the second wave had already set off; When the first batch of empty ships comes back, they can directly organize the third group to cross the river. In this way, the devil's reinforcements can cross the river in a steady stream, and with more than a dozen planes in the sky bombing and strafing non-stop, the defenders of the 26th Army can't stop the devil even if they fight for their lives.
Ding Zhipan looked at it, forget it, I can't stop it! A regiment he sent here sacrificed two battalion commanders and a deputy regiment commander in just over an hour after the rain stopped, and even the regiment commander was slightly wounded, and this battle could not be fought! If you want to send people up, he won't be able to draw up manpower for a while, so he simply sent a report to Gao Quan: The devil has crossed the river from the railway bridge, and my old man can't stop it, Commander Gao, you can work hard!
Gao Quan asked him about the situation of this staff officer crossing the river, and the staff officer handed over the telegram sent by Commander Ding. Gao Quan looked at it twice and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that a street battle in Quzhou City can't be avoided! The reason why he personally went to the Wuxi River to lead a team to prevent the devils from crossing the river, and even did not hesitate to build two flood control dikes to flood the devils, was to control the war outside the city and prevent the devils from coming to Quzhou.
Once a war breaks out, the damage to a city is too great! This city is the wealth of our country and the home of our citizens. The city is gone, where do the people of the city live? How do they live? As long as there is a glimmer of hope for preservation, Gao Quan will do his best to stop the devil out of the city! The battle situation has developed into what it is now, and it is beyond his control! The only thing Gao Quan can do now is to fight a city street fight with the devil in Quzhou City!
"Order the troops, end the battle within ten minutes, and the whole army will turn back to Quzhou!" To fight street battles, Gao Quan still has a lot of work to prepare, including a thorough investigation of the whole city, evacuation of all the left-behind citizens, subcontracting the city to each army, arranging barricades, dark bunkers, and firepower points in the city, how to create some small organs with little power and big damage for the devils, these tasks need to be done by him, and Gao Quan's time is no longer enough!
"Report, the sixty-seventh division has arrived at the battlefield!"
"Sixty-seventh Division? Is Chen Yiding here? "Before the devils began to cross the river in large numbers, Gao Quan once gave an order to the 67th Division, asking the 67th Division to come over and help him encircle and annihilate the devil's infantry brigade. Who knows that until this point, the devils are almost finished fighting the 67th Division before they come, and their speed is really slow enough!
"It was Deputy Army Commander Chen who personally led the team." The staff officer's words made Gao Quan happy and helpless. Of course, I am happy because Chen Yiding is here, with this famous Whampoa general personally in charge, it is not difficult to eliminate the remaining handful of devils at all, even if the devils who crossed the river from the railway bridge really come, Deputy Commander Chen can lead his troops to block for a while, and Gao Quan's time to return to the city will be more abundant. Helplessly, this Chen Yiding is the current commander of the 86th Army, he is not staying in Quzhou City, how can he learn to go to the battlefield outside the city?
"Hello Commander Gao."
"Deputy Commander Chen has worked hard."
Chen Yiding and Gao Quan met on the battlefield, and after the two stared at each other for a while, it was Chen Yiding who said hello first, a lieutenant general and a major general, and the identity was there, and General Chen said hello first It was also stipulated in military regulations.
"Brother Yiding, the Japanese army has already crossed the Wuxi River, and it is estimated that the Qujiang River will not be able to stop them for a long time! I will now take the troops back to Quzhou, arrange the city, and prepare for street battles with the Japanese army! I'll leave it to you. You clean up the battlefield here first, the devils crossed the river from the railway bridge, there are still a lot of people, Brother Yi Ding and the 67th Division are here for a while, I really can't stand it, whether you withdraw to Quzhou City, or withdraw to some other place, I just need the 67th Division to help me withstand it for an afternoon! Please! ”
Gao Quan solemnly saluted Chen Yiding. It's not easy to resist in this half a day, the devil came over from the 15th Division, who knows how many people from the 15th Division came? Are there any other troops? Whether the 67th Division can withstand it if it stays here is anyone's heart, the only thing they know is that staying here is a fierce battle! It's an out-and-out tough battle!
"Don't worry, before dark, not a single devil will want to pass where I stand!" Chen Yiding raised his head, his face full of pride and ambition. He graduated from the third phase of Huangpu, and is in the same grade as Wang Yaowu and Li Tianxia. General Chen, who is now the deputy commander of the 86th Army, has a regular division of the Central Army of the Revolutionary Army of the National Army under his command, can he still resist the Japanese army's attack in an afternoon? It's not that he hasn't fought with devils, as long as he can risk his life, who can be afraid of whom?
"Then Quzhou City will be handed over to Commander Gao!" Chen Yiding and Gao Quan shook hands tightly, even if he was here, it was only an afternoon, what about Gao Quan? When was Shouquzhou a head?
"Hehe, Gao Quan didn't dare to say such a rambling word as living and dying with the city. I can only say that I will let all the people in the city move out, I will let the precious objects in the city go out of the city as early as possible, I will make the devils pay a considerable price before occupying this city, and I will make the devils feel that they have made a loss-making deal by occupying Quzhou City! ”
"Hahaha, Brother Zhi is really a bold person! Good! Let's let the devil make a loss-making deal this time! Chen Yiding laughed and shook Gao Quan's hand vigorously, then waved his hand and led his troops to the battlefield.
On the battlefield, the military order is like a mountain! Regardless of whether the battle is over or not, the gunfire will stop as soon as the time is up! When the ten minutes came, the gunfire on the battlefield suddenly quieted down, and after a two-minute pause, the fierce gunfire rang out again. In the middle of this pause, the protagonist on the battlefield has changed, the troops of the 500th Army have withdrawn, and the 86th Army has become the master of this battlefield.
"Brothers, let's go back to Quzhou!" Gao Quan waved his arm, and the soldiers straightened their clothes, wiped the blood on their hands, and followed the military seat back to Quzhou.
