The General Headquarters of the Wu Mu Army had already received information from various departments: the devils in Nanjing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou were all ready to move, and their intentions were obviously directed at the Xishan base area.

Zhao Dahu decided that he was responsible for the overall situation, Ouyang Cheng was responsible for the defense of Xishan, Wang Yilang was responsible for the defense of the southern Jiangsu Plain and the task of blocking the enemy, and Liu Chenghai planned to act in the Xishan base area in Jiangbei; The 3rd Mobile Brigade of Wan Zixiong, which was "communicating" in the 3rd Theater of Operations, was urgently mobilized to return to the Xishan Base Area.

After receiving Li Jiakui's report, Zhao Dahu learned that the 15th Division of the Devil was supported by chariot troops, so the main battlefield must be unfolded in the plains, so he ordered Qi Yuankai to transport a large number of armor-piercing flying mines to Danyang, Jintan, and Yixing, and at the same time, the anti-chariot brigade was on standby at any time; In addition, the sailor brigade paid attention to the movement in the direction of Taihu Lake, and ordered Wang Yilang to mobilize a group to prepare to cross the Taihu Lake and attack the 15th Division of the devil with the cooperation of the sailor brigade.

The 15th Division of the Devil is a standing division formed later, although it is not as elite as the 3rd Division and the 5th Division, it is also a first-class division, with more than 20,000 people, complete infantry artillery and cavalry, two brigades and 4 infantry wings, a field artillery wing, a reconnaissance wing, an engineer wing, a transport wing, and a communications team. After arriving in Changzhou, because one wing was entangled by Li Jiakui's department, only 3 wings and 9 brigades remained of the 12 brigades of 4 wings. So a wing was divided to attack the southern foot of Baohua Mountain through Danyang; A wing, with the cooperation of chariot units, attacked the southern Jiangsu plain; A wing, supported by a field artillery wing, attacked Xishan via Yixing; The reconnaissance wing, the engineer wing, and the transport wing were stationed in Changzhou to wait for dispatch.

When the 15th Division of the Devils launched an attack on Baohua Mountain, the Devils of Nanjing also drove out of Nanjing City and launched an attack on the northern foot of Baohua Mountain along the Nanjing-Shanghai Railway, and the Baohua Shanjiang Defense Brigade was caught off guard.

A field artillery wing of the devils in Nanjing traveled to the damaged section of the road by armored train, and the river defense position of the Wumu army was already within the range of artillery, so the devils bombarded the Wumu army with heavy artillery, destroyed the Wumu military fortifications, covered the infantry attack, and arranged for the engineers to rush to repair the railway.

The Jiang Defense Brigade was attacked from the north and south, and the pressure increased greatly for a while. The devils bombarded with 150mm heavy artillery, each shell weighed dozens of pounds, the general fortifications and bunkers did not work at all, many bunkers were blown up, and there were heavy casualties, which seriously affected morale, and urgently asked the garrison headquarters for help.

Wang Yilang, who was commanding the battle in Jintan, received a request for help from the Jiang Defense Brigade, and while asking Zhao Dahu for fire support, he asked He Laifu and Xiang Qingyun from the Mobile Command next door to help him go to the Jiang Defense Brigade to take command.

He Laifu and Xiang Qingyun were in a hurry because they saw the fierce battle and had nothing to do, and they received Wang Yilang's request for help like a long drought and a rainy day, and they rushed to go, but because Xiang Qingyun was very familiar with the Jiangfang position, they grabbed the beauty difference.

Xiang Qingyun rushed to Baohua Mountain, the battlefield situation was already very grim, the devil warships on the Yangtze River also participated in the shelling, all of them were heavy artillery of more than 200mm, the headquarters of the Jiang Defense Brigade was blown up, and all the personnel of the command headquarters were killed.

Xiang Qingyun first learned about the situation, and saw that although the various units were scattered, only 6 of the 28 25mm anti-aircraft guns were damaged, and many troops were bombarded by heavy artillery and rushed behind the bunkers of the three frigates.

Xiang Qingyun ordered the first garrison brigade to defend the southern foot to the south, and the other troops to hold the bunkers of 3 frigates to resist the devils who attacked Baohua Mountain; The artillery of the Jiangfang Brigade and the garrison brigade transferred 22 anti-aircraft guns to the river bank in the north of the mountain while it was dark to shell the Devil warship; Notify the Zhenjiang Garrison Brigade to attack the hull of the Devil warship with armor-piercing flying mines along the Yangtze River, and bombard the deck of the Devil Warship with grenades and flying mines; ordered the Jiangbei Liu Chenghai Department to attack the devil warship on the Yangtze River, and also attacked the hull of the devil warship with armor-piercing flying mines, and bombarded the deck of the devil warship with grenade flying mines; He personally led a company and carried more than 200 armor-piercing flying thunderbolts to the armored train that attacked the devils.

Xiang Qingyun led the team to the north side of the armored train, the devil focused on attacking to the south, the defense on the north side was only symbolic, after being defeated by Xiang Qingyun, the devil did not panic, stretched out a few machine guns in the train shooting hole, Xiang Qingyun braved the rain of bullets to unfold the troops, an order, more than 200 armor-piercing flying thunder were fired together, and the train was completely lifted out of the tracks, rolling under the roadbed and causing a martyrdom, killing more than 3,000 soldiers of the devil's artillery company, and Xiang Qingyun's soldiers were also killed 5 or 60 people, Others, including Xiang Qingyun, were all internally injured.

Xiang Qingyun struggled to tell his subordinates to swallow the hemostatic medicine in the first aid kit to alleviate the injury.

At this time, the devil warships on the Yangtze River were also heavily bombarded from three sides, and they withdrew from the battle when they saw that the situation was not good.

The Jiang Defense Brigade, which had lost the threat of firepower, suddenly became bold, and actually launched a counterattack against the devils in Baohua Mountain! 5. 600 people fight back against 2, 3000 people! At this time, the troops of the army were slaughtered, and the troops on the riverbank also launched a counterattack on the devils of Baohua Mountain on their own under the command of the junior officers, and all kinds of flying thunder and anti-aircraft guns fired at the devils without restrictions!

The devils at the southern foot of Baohua Mountain also took the opportunity to attack Baohua Mountain, but were stubbornly blocked by Wu Mujun's fortifications. The devils at the southern foot had no heavy weapons, only a dozen Type 92 infantry guns, and the fortifications of the Wu Mu army were extremely strong, and they were temporarily stalemate with the devils.

Baohua Mountain fought extremely fiercely, but the troops of Baohua Mountain were obviously insufficient, and they were just fighting for their lives with the blood of the troops and the strong fortifications!

Feng Zonghuan, the leader of the communication squad who followed Qingyun to attack the armored train, struggled to lead the communication squad to send a telegram for help, played a signal flare for help, lit the wolf smoke for help, and then the whole class died of internal injuries one after another!

At this time, Liu Chenghai was leading 3 battalions to cross the river to support, and when he saw the signal for help, he immediately ordered the troops: throw away all the baggage, there is no formation, as long as you quickly rush to the battlefield, immediately put into the attack!

Wang Yilang received a telegram asking for help, asking He Laifu to lead the guard company to rush to help, and gather other troops along the way to rush to the aid of Baohua Mountain.

The New Fourth Army of Maoshan and Jurong received information and also sent Maoshan's elite pistol regiment and an infantry battalion from Jurong to Baohua Mountain.

Zhao Dahu sent Niu Daojia's armored brigade and Wu Zhen's cavalry brigade to support Baohua Mountain, and they were flanked by the two infantry brigades of the devil, as well as heavy artillery and chariot troops, between Changdang Lake and Zhuhu Lake!

Wu Zhen's combat experience is far older than Niu Daojia's, so Niu Daojia is willing to obey Wu Zhen's command. Wu Zhen asked Niu Daojia's anti-tank battalion to launch an all-out blockade against the devil's chariot troops in the north, and the tank battalion cooperated with a small group of cavalry to block the devil's infantry in the south, ignoring the artillery bombardment on the other side of the Devil's Lake, and led the cavalry brigade to prepare for a surprise attack after Niu Daojia destroyed most of the devil's tanks.

Zhao Dahu received the report from Wu Zhen and Niu Daojia, and immediately ordered Li Jinglong to send a sailor unit to attack the devil artillery on the east bank of the lake.

Since the beginning of the war, Li Jinglong has not been idle for a moment, he sent a large number of scouts around Taihu Lake to understand the surrounding situation, and got the order to attack, he believed that the devil artillery on the east bank of the lake was covered by a large number of devil infantry, and it was not easy to attack. Therefore, he ordered the Yixing Garrison Brigade, which cooperated with the garrison brigade to use gunboats and transport ships to land on the north shore of Taihu Lake, flank the troops along the Taihu Lake and cut off their rear routes.

The devil was really afraid that the back road would be cut off, and the infantry brigade quickly returned to help. Li Jinglong seized the opportunity to order Li Guangda to lead 12 motorized speedboats to swim upstream along the waterway from Zhuhu Lake to Taihu Lake, and attack the devil artillery with heavy machine guns and meteor flying mines.

Lee Guangda did not attack the motorized speedboat when he led the motorized speedboat, but only used the high speed of the motorized speedboat to rush directly into the lake, because in order to extend the firing range, the devils arranged all the heavy artillery positions at the near shore of the lake, and it was very comfortable to attack the devil artillery along the shore of the lake.

At this time, Niu Daojia found that shooting the devil tank with an anti-aircraft gun was as easy as stabbing tofu with chopsticks, the devil tank didn't even have a chance to retreat, and soon lay on the ground and would not move, only the devil infantry used the tank and armored vehicles as cover, and the range of the artillery on the other side of the devil lake reached the limit, and it had little impact on the anti-tank battalion, and he couldn't help but admire Wu Zhen's judgment.

However, Wu Zhen's cavalry brigade was still hidden in the reeds and woods, and ordered Niu Daojia to continue to clear the fire points of the devils using tanks as cover.

At this time, the battle on Baohua Mountain fell into a stalemate due to the arrival of reinforcements from the Wu Mu Army and the New Fourth Army. After Wu Zhen and Niu Daojia broke through the devil's blockade, Wang Yilang's troops were transferred away many troops, the troops were empty, and the county seat of Jintan County was in danger and fell into a bitter battle.

Wang Yilang disregarded the safety of his own headquarters, and ordered the troops of Dangtu and Lishui on the Western Front to attack Nanjing, so that Nishio Shouzo could not live in peace, and he himself had no choice but to withdraw the headquarters into the territory of the Maoshan New Fourth Army. Through cooperation with the New Fourth Army, Wang Yilang treated the New Fourth Army as if he were his own troops.

Niu Daojia and Wu Zhen's mechanized troops and cavalry ran rampant on the plain, and received an order from Zhao Dahu on the radio to relieve the siege of Jintan, so they went all out to kill Jintan.

All units of the 15th Devil's Division, except for the Baohuashan Road, suffered losses of varying degrees, and they planned to temporarily gather their troops in order to facilitate another battle. However, Nishio Shouzo ordered the troops to hold out for at least two more days, because Nishio Shouzo felt that it was time to come up with a killer plan.

Nishio Shouzo ordered the devil planes to take off from Hangzhou and Shanghai and bomb Xishan, while the Hangzhou detachment, which was already on standby in Wuxing, launched an attack on Xishan.

For a time, hundreds of planes flew over Xishan, braving the obstruction of Buddha's light and thunder, desperately bombing, and the devil's Hangzhou detachment also launched a fierce attack.

Zhao Dahu ordered the Xishan Garrison Brigade, with the support of the Kehua Heavy Artillery Brigade, to brave the bombardment of devils to counterattack. While commanding the air defense operation, Ouyang Cheng was busy reminding Zhao Dahu that he could use Wei Wenyang's troops to attack the devil Hangzhou Airport, and Wei Wenyang was now considered the security brigade of the Wang Jingwei government in Nanjing; The Changxing Garrison Brigade counterattacked the Wuxing Devil Command; At the same time, Wan Zixiong's Second Mobile Brigade was urged to speed up the return of reinforcements.

Since the air defense unit of the Wumu Army had launched an air defense operation some time ago, and now there is a shortage of Foguang flying mines, Ouyang Cheng organized the air defense troops to save ammunition, and at the same time took out the light and heavy machine guns in stock, and arranged for the joint logistics brigade, infrastructure brigade, and engineer brigade to all be put into air defense shooting.

Zeng Qi also personally commanded the Xishan Garrison Brigade and Ke Hua's Heavy Artillery Brigade, transferred a section of the Engineer Brigade to block the rivers and streams in the eastern part of Xishan, planted explosives, and then ordered the garrison to withdraw and only occupy the commanding heights to block the enemy.

The devil took advantage of the situation to attack and rushed into the West Mountain. Zeng Qi fired 7 red signal flares, and explosions sounded on Xishan East Road, and for a time flash floods and mudslides poured into the attacking devils, and the devils' troops from all walks of life were defeated, and the Wu Mu army just relied on the high ground and cleaned up the mess with artillery fire and light and heavy machine guns.

Nishio Shouzo's killer weapon became scrap metal, and he lost the purpose of the campaign, so he had to order the troops to withdraw. Wu Mujun did not spare and pursued all the way.

Wei Wenyang received an order from the General Headquarters to immediately assemble the troops of the Security Brigade. The devil had been paying close attention to Wei Wenyang's security brigade for a long time, and immediately mobilized the Hangzhou garrison to monitor the security brigade. The devil forgot that most of Wei Wenyang's troops were not in the security brigade, and they were still stationed in the mountainous areas outside Hangzhou, and there were secret troops in the city, and the assembly of the security brigade was just to cover people's eyes and attract the attention of the devils.

The city of Hangzhou first launched a riot, but Wei Wenyang's peripheral troops used all kinds of flying mines to bomb the devil's Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport, destroying seven or eight out of ten of the facilities of Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport, blowing up more than 10 planes, and causing more than 30 planes of the devil to be forced to relocate.

Wei Wenyang's security brigade took advantage of the chaos to counterattack, and after killing and wounding the devils in large numbers, they plundered a batch of supplies, returned to the base area, gathered troops, consolidated the garrison, and prevented the devils from retaliating. In fact, the devil has become a frightened bird and is powerless to fight back.

In this battle, Wu Mujun's factory in Xishan suffered heavy losses, and more than 40 aircraft wreckage were also captured, and a large number of industrial raw materials were obtained; more than 5,000 casualties, more than 7,000 devils were killed or wounded; The loss of weapons and ammunition was offset by the seizure; Wu Mujun's biggest loss was that Xiang Qingyun was seriously injured, He Laifu was lightly injured, and the corresponding only 2 devils were killed.

Nishio Shouzo withdrew his troops, and the Takemu army was not finished, and on Tuesday the dog ordered the withdrawal of all troops who went out to communicate and retaliate against the devils.

As a matter of fact, the mobile brigades that had been in contact with the headquarters all along received the news of a large-scale war on the Xishan side, and they all returned to Xishan.

Knowing that his commander was slightly injured and the chief of staff was seriously injured, the mobile brigades were ashamed and humiliated, and they collectively went to the general headquarters and demanded that the devils be returned to the color!

On Tuesday, Gou and Zhao Dahu saw that a large number of fresh troops were in place, and ordered Ouyang Cheng to be responsible for reorganizing and enriching the Baohua Mountain River Defense Brigade, the Garrison Brigade, and the Zhenjiang Garrison Brigade, replenishing ammunition and equipment, and cooperating with the Jiangbei Liu Chenghai Department to block the Yangtze River waterway; Wang Yilang commanded the southern parts of the Yangtze River to besiege the city of Nanjing, including blocking the transportation line north of Nanjing; Li Jinglong's garrison brigade was accompanied by a mobile brigade of Wan Zixiong, which swept the east bank of Taihu Lake and attacked Suzhou and Wuxi; With one unit of each mobile brigade to support the surrounding guerrillas, and to liaise with the surrounding **, the New Fourth Army, and the local armed forces, the Jiangbei side should pull out more than 6 county towns with devils, and the south side should take more than 3 county towns with devils on the east and west sides.

Ouyang Cheng mobilized all the meteor flying thunders of the Wu Mu Army's stockpile, and distributed them to the Jiangfang Brigade, Liu Chenghai, and Wang Yilang's troops along the river, equipped with anti-aircraft guns, and stuck the Yangtze River waterway in the Zhenjiang and Yangzhou sections, and Wang Yilang and Liu Chenghai each blocked the Nanjing waterway and cut off Nanjing's supply line.

Wang Yilang mobilized the four garrison brigades of Lishui, Liyang, Yixing, and Jintan, together with the New Fourth Army of Jurong and Maoshan, to launch a rhythmic attack on Nanjing; At the same time, the Suwan Brigade, the Langxi Garrison Brigade, and the Gaochun Garrison Brigade, with the support of the First Division of Jing Yukun's Fourth Mobile Brigade, together with the Third Detachment of the New Fourth Army and Shangguanyun of the Third Theater, will attack the 32nd Group Army in Dangtu, Wuhu, and Xuancheng counties.

The Su Wan brigade used the 75mm anti-aircraft guns issued by the headquarters to easily knock on the gates of various county towns, cover the troops to rush into the county seats, plunder the supplies, and then hand over the defense to General Shangguan Yunyi or Zhang Yunyi's troops.

Liu Chenghai's troops and Li Jiakui's troops attacked the county towns in the same way as Wang Yilang, easily taking the county seats, plundering the materials, and handing over the defense to the Fifth Theater or the Chen Yi Department of the New Fourth Army.

Nishio Shouzo was unwilling to admit defeat, he ordered the Devil's Thirteenth Army to rescue Nanjing, and on the other hand, he asked for the Devil's Navy to support and forcibly open the Yangtze River waterway to ensure the safety of Nanjing.

What made Nishio Shouzo helpless was that Gu Zhutong of the Third War Zone saw the opportunity to pick up cheap, and ignored the chairman's hint that he would weaken Wu Mujun by the hands of the devils, and actively launched an attack on the devils, conquering the city, looting materials, and making a lot of money. The hard-fought devil 13th Army supported a small number of troops in Nanjing, and it was useless!

The devil's naval fleet was willing to contribute, sending a huge fleet of 3 light cruisers, 5 destroyers, and 6 frigates, intending to open up the Yangtze River channel and ensure the supply of East China and Central China! However, Liu Chenghai poured all the mines of the Liumaoer Arsenal into the Yangtze River waterway, and he also went all out to produce mines and constantly poured them into the river. Thousands of large and small earth and water mines made it difficult for the devil warships to move an inch, and they could not save the siege of Nanjing for a while!

Nishio Shouzo held on to Nanjing, while organizing a peripheral counterattack, and privately negotiated peace with Tuesday Dog and others.

Although Wu Mujun has more than enough troops, the mine production capacity is close to exhaustion due to the lack of explosives, and all kinds of flying mines are in short supply.

In the end, Nishio Shouzo tacitly attacked the two arsenals of Nanjing and Shanghai, and took away a batch of equipment and raw materials, and the Wu Mu army let go of the Yangtze River channel and the siege of Nanjing.

After the war, the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee issued a circular criticizing the southern Jiangsu garrison for missing a good opportunity and failing to carry out its intention to blockade the Yangtze River waterway. On Tuesday, the dog ignored it, but took out a large number of captured train heads, carriages, patchwork heavy artillery, and stored clay pot grenades, mountain artillery, field artillery, and firearms, and exchanged them for steel-making furnaces, explosives, sulfur, saltpeter, tungsten sand and other materials, repaired the blown up power plant, and hurried to resume military production, while reorganizing the troops.
