The Battle of Shanggao, this thrilling battle that unfolded on the land of Jiangxi, finally dissipated, although it only lasted for half a month, but because it left a glorious page in the history of China's resistance with the victory of the Chinese [***] team.

After this battle, the 34th Division, the 33rd Division, and the 20th Brigade of the Reading Army, which participated in this combat operation, suffered heavy losses, killing and wounding more than 15,000 people in total. The so-called "Poyang Lake Sweeping Battle" was a complete defeat, and the battlefield in northwestern Jiangxi fell silent again, returning to the pre-war situation in which the enemy and us were stalemate.

The Commander's Department of the Ninth Theater fully affirmed and highly praised the performance of Xiao Xiong's anti-enemy special forces in northern Jiangxi in this battle, and gave special commendations. In view of the heavy losses suffered by their troops in order to obtain information about the enemy in this campaign, the commander's department specially dispatched more than 300 experienced veterans from various units in the theater to supplement the special forces. In addition, a portion of the much-needed weapons and equipment, communications equipment and operational funds have been allocated to them.

Xiao Xiong: Their series of actions before the start of the campaign really helped our army a lot in the campaign. First of all, the poison gas bombs transported from Shanghai by the devils were sunk in Poyang Lake by Xiao Xiong and the others, and the most important thing was the battle plan obtained by the devils, which enabled the commander's headquarters of the Ninth Theater to adjust the battle plan in a timely manner, laying the foundation for the victory of the entire battle in the future.

In the information obtained, the theater command learned that the devils had brought some poison gas bombs from Wuhan to the troops attacking on the southern route. In the later battle, the 20th Brigade of the South Road Devil's Reading Power Mixed Formation used poison gas bombs in the battle, but because our army had already prepared and made the necessary precautions, the devils not only did not take advantage, but also due to the change in wind direction at that time, the poison gas hit the devils themselves hard.

Yamamoto had been puzzled after the Einsatzgruppen attacked the Jiujiang Railway Station on the night of March 13. Why did the enemy make such a great sacrifice to attack the railway station? What exactly are their intentions? Could it be that what information did they get about the important supplies at the train station?

Yamamoto, who wanted to break his head, also felt that the enemy's action was a bit strange and difficult to understand.

14 Day, the first day of the beginning of the sweeping war. In the morning, the entire Jiujiang City Defense Command was busy, and a lot of supplies were brought in from Nanjing, Shanghai, and other places, especially the Third Flying Regiment and the Naval Air Force, which brought a lot of ammunition and supplies for their own planes and personnel. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the campaign, Yamamoto sat in the headquarters and personally commanded the troops of the Japanese army in Jiujiang to strengthen vigilance and patrols to prevent the anti-Japanese elements from taking advantage of the opportunity to engage in sabotage.

Yamamoto was busy until the evening, and all the supplies were basically dispatched. In particular, the ammunition and fuel needed for the plane were safely transported out of Jiujiang. The materials that need to be transferred are also loaded into the station yard warehouse or terminal warehouse. All alerts have also been deployed.

It was 10 p.m. Yamamoto was exhausted and slumped in his office chair. An orderly brought him a cup of hot tea, and Yamamoto lifted the lid of the teacup, and a fresh fragrance filled his nose, and he took a sip of the cup slowly.

Suddenly, one of his staff officers came in with a strange look and told him that the two men in the confidential room were missing.

When Yamamoto, who was drinking tea, heard this, a mouthful of tea that he had just drunk in his mouth squirted out, wetting a document on his desk.

"Baga, the person is gone, when did he disappear? Just send someone to find it. Such a small thing to report too? Yamamoto said angrily.

"Yes. Be. At noon, someone went to the confidential room and found that the door was not open, and when they went again in the afternoon, the door was still closed, so they told us about it. We immediately sent someone to look for these two confidential officers, but we couldn't find them. Later, he told the gendarmerie about it. I just learned that our people have searched almost all of Jiujiang, but they still haven't been found, and no one has seen them, so I really don't know where they went. ”

The staff officer said tremblingly.

"Bastard. When they come back, they must be punished heavily, and they will be bold enough to leave their posts without permission. ”

Yamamoto also knew that those junior officers under his command would go to comfort stations or kiin places to have fun when they were fine, and he thought that maybe these two would go to those places.

Seeing where the staff officer was standing and not moving, Yamamoto's anger came up:

"Don't bother me,! Hurry up and send someone to continue the search. Where can two big living people go? ”

The next day, March 15, the Poyang Lake sweeping battle began. Yamamoto learned that he hadn't found the two confidential officers last night, so he ordered the soldiers to break open the door of the confidential room.

Everything was as usual in the house, and nothing unusual happened. Yamamoto sent someone else to guard this place temporarily.

However, after a few days, the two confidential officers were still missing, and when the guards felt that there was a stench in the room, they found the decomposing bodies of the two confidential officers under the bed, and the two of them were stacked under the bed like arhats. It was only because the bodies of the two were covered by newspapers and documents under the bed that they were never found.

Yamamoto suddenly felt creepy, his heavily guarded city defense headquarters actually came in to resist the elements, and unknowingly entered the confidential room and killed the two confidential officers.

It's so scary that you can't figure it out. When did the enemy come in? How did you get in? What is their purpose?

Yamamoto hurriedly asked someone to check the safe.

The safe is still locked, and there is no sign of prying. Yamamoto relieved himself a little, and he asked the staff officer to open the cabinet door. When I opened the cabinet door and looked inside, the documents that had been placed inside were gone. Yamamoto's heart sank, and he quickly opened the drawer below. The drawer was empty, not to mention the papers, and even the gold bars placed in it were gone.

This can scare Yamamoto stupidly, and the "Poyang Lake Sweeping Battle Operational Plan" of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, as well as the specific combat plans of the Yue Army that participated in the battle, and other important documents are all gone. This is not a trivial matter, and it must be reported to the military department immediately.

Yamamoto was shocked to tell the 11th Army Headquarters about the theft of some battle plans, and when Commander Enbe and Ichiro heard it, they were furious on the other end of the phone, and kept scolding "Yaga, Yaga". However, no more scolding will help, the war has been going on for a few days. Fortunately, the army's combat operations are progressing relatively smoothly at present. Yamamoto finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

However, after investigation, the devil found out that the problem was that someone first pretended to be someone from the gendarmerie, and they intercepted the personnel left behind in Jiujiang by the 20th Brigade of Reading Power Mix. Then, he pretended to be a member of the 20th Brigade and infiltrated the headquarters on a motorcycle.

Their people are really masters, everything they do is simply watertight and flawless, and they even open the safe. They tried to delay the discovery of the battle plan as long as possible, and they achieved their goal.

Now Yamamoto finally understands what the 36 strategies are to divert the tiger from the mountain and fish in troubled waters. The enemy's actions at the Jiujiang Railway Station were actually a smokescreen, and the purpose was to steal the battle plan for the sweep in the safe.

Yamamoto silently prayed in his heart that he would not lose this battle because of his mistakes.

The ending has been revealed, and Yamamoto thinks that he will definitely be punished this time. However, after reviewing the defeat in this battle, the army believed that Kazuichiro Enbe should bear the main responsibility, and the 11th Army changed commanders again, and Yuanbu was transferred. And the young general who was fanatically loyal to the emperor, Lieutenant General Anami Yuki, resigned from his post as vice minister of the War Department and hurried and ambitiously to China, where he had long been fascinated, to take over as commander of the 11th Army.

Abe was transferred, and Anan had just taken over, and no one would pursue Yamamoto's loss of the battle plan in the future. Yamamoto continued to be his commander of the Jiujiang City Defense.

Xiao Xiong originally wanted to lead the team to continue the battle after the Battle of Shanggao, but in the battle of Jiujiang Station, the Einsatzgruppen lost troops and suffered heavy casualties. He had no choice but to clean up the broken team, reorganize it, and then recruit troops and expand the team.

After the victory of the battle, Commander Luo of the Ninth Theater Commander's Department personally transferred his team of 300 pairs of people, and supplemented the supplies, especially several radio stations, which made Xiao Xiong's future actions more convenient. At the same time, the commander's department informed him that the military command action team hidden in northern Jiangxi would be temporarily controlled and mobilized by him in the future.

During this period of time, Xiao Xiong did not stop for a moment. The time has passed clear, and he still doesn't know it.

On this day, Li Minghua and Liu Junshan came to the conference room of Xiao Xiong's office. Xiao Xiong and the two of them, somehow felt very affectionate as if they had seen their own brothers.

"Commander, now that the war has just ended, we want to go to Lushan and cultivate soil and pull weeds for the graves of our father, sister and fellow villagers, is it okay?"

The two of them looked at Xiao Xiong blankly and said.

As soon as Xiao Xiong heard the words of his brothers, he suddenly remembered that today is April 7th, and the Qingming Festival has passed, but he has not yet gone to his father's grave to sweep the grave. Xiao Xiong couldn't help but blame himself.

"Minghua, Junshan, it's rare that you still have this filial piety, and you still remember your father and them in this constant war. Okay, tomorrow I will accompany the two of you up the mountain to sweep the graves of the villagers. ”

"Really. That's great. ”

The brothers were overjoyed and jumped for joy.

"Now you two prepare some sacrifices, and go with me to sweep the graves of the sacrificed brothers, and also to the graves of my father."

Xiao Xiong led the brothers Gao Qixing, Xiong Qiang and Li Minghua to the martyr's tomb in front of the village.

I saw that every grave had been swept over, the weeds on and around the tomb had been cleared, the collapsed soil had been patched, offerings had been placed in front of the grave, and incense and candles had been lit.

Xiong Qiang told Xiao Xiong that it was Bai Yu who led people to do it before Qingming.

Xiao Xiong nodded and came to his father's grave. He knelt down, kowtowed silently a few times, lit a candle, inserted three sticks of incense, and burned a few stacks of paper money.

Standing up, Xiao Xiong led everyone out of the cemetery. He wants to go back quickly and discuss with everyone about going to Lushan tomorrow
