Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura was proud of the spring breeze during this time, and his majesty was tight, and almost all the army was unable to move an inch, except for his 106th Division and Honma Masaharu's 27th Division, which advanced slightly, while his 106th Division made significant progress in the area of Duchang County, and was only one step away from taking Duchang.

Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura divided his forces into three columns and encircled Duchang County from three directions, while the left route army was led by Major General Yamachi Heng, commander of the 111th Infantry Brigade, to march from the Wulong Mountain and Ejianao lines. The Right Route Army was led by Major General Keiichi Aoki, commander of the 136th Infantry Brigade, and the main force of the 136th Infantry Brigade made every effort to break through the front line of Jiulongbao and Lailonggeng, and attacked Duchang from south to north. And Lieutenant General Junroku Matsuura led the rest of the 106th Division to attack Duchang from the middle.

The attack of the three-way army was still very sharp, in order to confuse the army, Han Yunhua placed three infantry regiments on the front line of Wulong Mountain, Jiulongbao, and Lailonggen, and Han Yunhua's only order to Li Dayong, who was commanding the battle on the front line, was to use the favorable terrain to kill and injure a large number of enemies, and to beat the army to a painful beat, but he must not be killed. To give the army an illusion that you are now a remnant army, you can be annihilated at any time, and the combat effectiveness you show is superficial, but in fact you are already at the end of the crossbow.

Li Dayong is a veteran soldier, he has fought countless big and small battles, and no one is really his opponent when it comes to acting, although the three infantry regiments seem to be few, but in fact there are more than 8,500 people, with the combat effectiveness of Han Yunhua's department, it is not a problem to resist the 106th Division here. However, Li Dayong flattered more than a dozen attack echelons and relied on favorable terrain to block the Yue army. These are several attack echelons, each of which does not have many troops, only two companies. However, these two companies were almost equipped with automatic firepower, and every time they faced the Yue army, they would get close to the enemy and then fight, and after the Yue army was successfully provoked, they quickly retreated.

Li Dayong's tactics were very effective, and in just one day, the 106th Division lost more than 1,000 people, and although it only lost 3 or 4 people each time, it suffered heavy losses at the end of the day, and inadvertently an infantry brigade was gone.

Originally, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura didn't care, and his face was still a little complacent, after all, his headquarters had defeated more than 30 lines of defense in one day, and such a record was definitely the first among all the units of the army. However, when the commanders of each brigade reported the casualties of their units to the front command in the evening, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura was stunned for a moment, the 111th Brigade was in the best situation, less than 200 people were killed in battle, and less than 200 people were wounded, and the losses were still within the range of bearing, after all, those wounded were not counted in the number of dead. The casualties of the 136th Brigade were a little more, and the number of killed and wounded in the battle combined exceeded 400, but the Middle Route Army led by himself suffered the heaviest casualties, adding up to nearly 500 losses. Although the casualties of three or four hundred people do not affect the combat effectiveness for the establishment of thousands of people in each route army, the total loss of 1,267 people in the three route armies is not a small number, which is equivalent to a complete infantry brigade.

Junrokuro Matsuura was furious, the battle was fought to this point is no longer something that can be described in a, and it is said that the elite army of this empire was inexplicably annihilated by an infantry brigade (self-opinion), which is the biggest insult to Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura and the entire 106th Division.

"Eight Geya Road, the army of the branch opposite Akiyama-kun is subordinate to that army, do you know?" Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura's voice trembled a little, and his hideous face made the chief of staff, Yoshitaka Akiyama, a little afraid.

Akiyama Yoshitaka Osa hurriedly said: "Judging from the clothing of the Shina army, there are the 74th Army, the 66th Army, the 2nd Reserve Division, the 9th Reserve Division, the Jiujiang River Defense Force, and the Wuhan Garrison Command Guard Force????"

"Baga, you are very stupid, the total strength of this branch in front of us is definitely not more than 1,000 people, although we have exchanged fire with this army no less than ten times along the way, but every time the uniforms and numbers of this army are different, it seems that there are many branches and armies, in fact, it is a trick, the purpose is to let us know that there are many branches of the army in front, and we want to take the initiative to stop the attack. The people of China are cunning, Baga! Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura said angrily.

"Hey! His Excellency the Division Commander is wise, but he is very stupid. Akiyama Yoshiro Osa said helplessly, he and Lieutenant General Junroku Matsuura have been partners for more than four months, Lieutenant General Junroku Matsuura knows best what temper he has, proud and arrogant, with low eyes and low hands, coupled with extreme jealousy of people who are more capable than him, in the eyes of Lieutenant General Junroku Matsuura, General Terauchi Shouichi can only be valued by His Majesty the Emperor by virtue of his good background, and he is promoted to army general, and it is normal to be defeated by the group of people with extremely rudimentary primitive weapons. And the top boss of the 106th Division, Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji, was only promoted to the commander of the 11th Army if he had a good fate, and if he was allowed to command the 11th Army, it would definitely be much better than Okamura Ninji, and at least he would take Wuhan down as a gift to His Majesty the Emperor.

Therefore, Akiyama Yoshiro Daisa was extremely depressed in front of Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, lest he be punished for saying the wrong thing. So whenever Lieutenant General Junroku Matsuura was in a bad mood, Akiyama Yoshiro Daisa tried his best to raise Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, put a high hat on him, and at the same time try to despise himself and belittle himself, so that this old guy could be happy.

Sure enough, as soon as Akiyama Yoshiro Osa finished speaking, Lieutenant General Matsuura Junrokuro's face immediately softened, and he glanced at Akiyama Yoshiro Osa with satisfaction, and said, "Yo Xi, do the cunning Shina people think I'm going to be fooled." Order: Major General Yamachi Heng and Major General Keiichi Aoki made every effort to break through the resistance of the enemy in front of them, and the troops directly under the division and regiment surrounded this branch of the army in Duchang County. ”

"Hay!"

The next day, the attack of the army suddenly sharpened, a firefight is a lifeless way of fighting, the two sides exchanged fire in Furong Mountain, Pig Brain Mountain outside Duchang County for two hours, both sides suffered heavy casualties, because Han Yunhua's department this time mainly carried out the task of luring the enemy, so when crossing the lake, all the artillery was left on the west bank of Poyang Lake, so Li Dayong suffered a lot of losses on the artillery, this battle was Han Yunhua's tribe was defeated, and more than 800 people were killed and wounded in two hours.

Fortunately, Li Dayong and the others had already made all preparations and occupied the favorable terrain in advance, seeing that the time was almost up, Li Dayong turned back to Jiang Yunshan and asked, "First Regiment Commander, is there any news from the commander?" ”

"Yes, Chief Wan just sent a telegram saying that they are ready, we can retreat now, and if we don't leave, we are likely to be dumpled by Major General Keiichi Aoki and the infantry brigade of Yamachi Heng, and the other two regiments have already withdrawn from the battle." Jiang Yunshan replied loudly.

"Withdraw, order the troops to alternate cover, immediately withdraw from the battle, and rush to the Longkouli dock." Li Dayong decisively gave the order to retreat, because this mission has been completed, and the 106th Division, which was provoked to anger, will definitely not let go of Li Dayong's subordinates like this, plus the necessary surname to attack Jiujiang, so Li Dayong judged that Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura would definitely chase after him.

As soon as Li Dayong and the others retreated, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura ordered the troops to press up, and the most important thing was that the commander of the Imperial Lieutenant General's Division could not just let the remnants of a branch army slip from under his nose, although after a morning of firefighting, Lieutenant General Matsuura Junrokuro also saw that the opposite army of China was not a remnant, otherwise it would not have such a strong combat effectiveness. But in order to save face, Lieutenant General Junroku Matsuura still ordered the troops to chase after him, after all, in the eyes of Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, the branch that fled in front of him had less than one regiment, and such a force was not enough for his 106th Division.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, Li Dayong's headquarters was compressed by the Yue army in the area of Longkouli Wharf, at this time only two battalions of the three infantry regiments brought by Li Dayong were left to contain the enemy in Lilongkou, and the others had already withdrawn to the west bank of Poyang Lake before the arrival of the Yue army. These two infantry battalions are units directly under the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and their combat effectiveness is not too strong, but they are very good at fighting defensive battles, and more than 30 fishing boats have been moored at the ferry behind their positions.

Obviously, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura did not know the whereabouts of Li Dayong and others, and thought that everyone was surrounded by him on the riverbank, combined with the information fed back by Major General Keiichi Aoki and others, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura was extremely excited, and a main infantry division of Shina was surrounded by him on the shore of the lake on the outskirts of Duchang County.

Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura immediately sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji, commander of the 11th Army, and reported to the former enemy command: The 106th Division of the 11th Army of the heroic Great Shogun Army, after a hard battle, broke the Duchang defense line composed of four infantry divisions of the Chinese army, and now surrounded a complete Chinese infantry division on the shore of Poyang Lake, and the brave warriors of the 106th Division had occupied the beachhead and launched a final attack on the Chinese troops in the encirclement.

Obviously, Okamura Ninji still knew Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura very well, and immediately asked the 106th Division that was surrounded by the Chinese army, who was the commander, and how many people were in the division? Okamura Ninji knew Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura very well, and he was always skeptical of his battle report.

Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura's question really puzzled Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, and so far Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura really didn't know what the name of this branch of the branch that had been fighting with his troops for more than two days was. However, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura knew that it was definitely not any of the 74th Army, the 66th Army, the 2nd Reserve Division, the 9th Reserve Division, the Jiujiang River Defense Force, and the Wuhan Garrison Command Guard Unit.
