[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 220: The Old Man's Admiration (Ask for Subscription!) ）

The battle in the city was finally over, and the defenders were all wiped out from Yoon Dong Jung-hee down. At the same time, Huang Sicheng and Xing Chao also sent a telegram that the battles between Furong Dunzhen and Qingtou Mountain had also ended, the Japanese 103rd Wing was completely annihilated, most of the 123rd Wing was annihilated, the small part broke through and fled, and the headquarters was cleaning up the battlefield to clear the remnants of the enemy.

But the fighting outside the city did not end there, and the 106th Division continued to attack.

Matsuura Junrokuro was also helpless, and after receiving a desperate telegram from Yin Dong Zhengxi, he was ready to retreat, but before he could make any move, the headquarters of the 11th Army sent a telegram, ordering his 106th Division not to retreat, to recapture Pengze at all costs, and also said that reinforcements were already on the way, and they could arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest.

Although it is unlikely that Peng Ze will be recaptured with the strength of a mere infantry wing, it should not be a problem to hold out until noon, after all, in addition to the 123rd Wing of the 106th Division, which is unknown, there is also a 113th Wing in Xiaogushan, and there are three wings of engineers, artillery, and baggage in Madang Town.

Immediately, Matsuura Junrokuro sent a telegram to these troops, telling them to rush to Pengze immediately, and at the same time ordered the troops to continue the attack.

It was a bit unexpected for the Japanese army not to withdraw after that, but they didn't care, Pengze, as the gateway to the lake, the strategic location is relatively important. In addition, Pengze is only a few dozen kilometers away from Madang Fortress, and it takes three hours to arrive at the rapid march, so the Japanese army will naturally not give up willingly.

Moreover, the old devil in Songpu dared to attack so unknowingly, which showed that he still had follow-up reinforcements, and immediately Ma Zheng sent a war report to the Ninth Theater Command and the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government in the name of the commander of the Seventh Division, and at the same time asked the Military Commission to immediately let the Air Force attack. Cooperate with the Seventh Division to guard Peng Ze.

After receiving the telegram from the Seventh Division, the entire rear of the front line became lively, and the Ninth Theater Command and the Military Commission immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

The fact that the Seventh Division had attacked overnight to regain Peng Ze was an unexpected surprise for both the Ninth Theater and the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government. The previous capture of Jiujiang and Hukou was a temporary solution to the crisis in Wuhan, but Peng Ze was still in the hands of the Japanese army. The Japanese could use it as a springboard at any time to concentrate their forces to retake the mouth of the lake.

And there is no dangerous terrain in this part of the lake, and it is close to the Yangtze River, and if the Japanese naval fleet makes a comeback, the possibility of holding it is very small. As soon as the mouth of the lake is lost, Jiujiang will naturally not be protected, and the battlefield situation will be reversed in an instant, so Peng Ze and even Madang Fortress, which is dozens of kilometers away from Peng Ze, is extremely important to the entire battle situation.

In the past few days, the Ninth War Zone is planning how to recapture Pengze and Madang Fortresses, according to the intention of the War Zone Commander's Department. It is necessary to concentrate the main force of Xue Yue's First Corps, and then transfer Tang Enbo's 31st Group Army from the Second Corps, concentrate 150,000 troops, and then match them with air force units, and then capture Pengze.

But no one thought that Ma Zheng's Duqi Division would defeat Peng Ze in just one night, and also annihilate three wings of the Japanese army, and all the generals in the entire Ninth War Zone were messy! Nima, that's a little devil of the three wings. It's not three companies.

According to the establishment of the Japanese army, there were more than 10,000 people in the three wings. Some three-unit divisions and regiments also have three main wings, which means that Ma Zheng's division wiped out a small three-unit division of the Japanese army in one night, and also killed the commander of a lieutenant general division and a major general brigade commander (101st Division and 102nd Brigade of the 101st Division).

Gathering the battle reports during this period, the generals and officers of the Ninth Theater Command unexpectedly found that the Japanese 101st Division was basically fully explained on the battlefield in Wuhan, which was also the first Japanese division to be annihilated since the Battle of Wuhan began.

As for Ma Zheng's request for the Air Force to cooperate in the defense of Peng Ze, the Ninth Theater agreed in principle. But the Air Force is the old man's baby bump, and even the Supreme Commander of the Air Force does not pretend to others, but is personally in charge of the Air Force, which shows that the old man attaches great importance to the Air Force. Therefore, Chen Cheng did not dare to agree to Ma Zheng's request privately, so he had to call the Military Commission. I ask the chairperson to make a decision.

Lao Jiang was naturally overjoyed after receiving the good news from Ma Zheng, although everyone said that his Lao Jiang's tactical command level was only equivalent to that of an infantry battalion commander, but after all, he had studied in Japan, so his strategic vision was naturally not very bad, and he naturally understood the importance of Peng Ze.

Knowing that the Duqi Division was now facing the onslaught of the 106th Division and that Japanese reinforcements were on the way, Lao Chiang immediately ordered the Ninth Theater to immediately send the main force to replace the Duqi Division, and at the same time ordered the air force to immediately formulate tactics to deal with the siege of the Pengze defenders by the Japanese air force.

The reason why Lao Chiang asked the troops of the Ninth Theater to replace the Duqi Division was not that he was worried that the Duqi Division would be exhausted, in fact, the role of the Duqi Division was not much longer in the battle.

As long as Madang Fortress is taken, it is impossible for the Japanese army to pose much threat to Wuhan in a short period of time. Even due to the destruction of the Botian Detachment and the 101st Division, coupled with the heavy losses of the 6th Division and the 106th Division, it is still unknown whether the Japanese army will continue to attack Wuhan, so this is the best opportunity to consume the 7th Division.

But Lao Jiang was more worried about shooting himself in the foot, and Lao Jiang knew how many troops there were in the Seventh Division. Ma Zheng brought only more than 7,000 men from Chahar, and after several battles to capture the Japanese naval fleet and recover Jiujiang and Hukou, his veterans were basically lost. Later, he saw that he added two infantry regiments and an artillery regiment to the Duqi Division on the face of the dozens of warships and the two cities of Jiujiang and Hukou, but the total was only more than 5,000 people.

It is said that due to the serious shortage of troops, the 7th Division also added some of the rescued soldiers who had been captured by the Japanese army to the troops, and the combat effectiveness of such a miscellaneous unit was indeed worrisome, and he even thought that the goal of weakening Ma Zheng's troops had been achieved.

This time, the Duqi Division was able to take the initiative to attack, and also successfully recovered Pengze County, which was indeed beyond his expectations. But after a whole night of fighting, and the total annihilation of three infantry wings of the Japanese army, it is really hard to say how many people are left in the Duqi Division. Moreover, if the 106th Division of the Japanese Army dares to continue to attack Pengze County with only a few remnants, it can be seen that the Duqi Division is already at the end of its strength, otherwise Ma Zheng's character will definitely not allow this little devil to jump in front of him.

Therefore, Lao Jiang really didn't dare to take the risk of Pengze County, and it was easy to recover it, if he let the Japanese army take advantage of the loophole in order to weaken the Duqi Division, it would really be regretted.

Besides, Ma Zheng has already said that the Japanese reinforcements are already on the way. Although I didn't say how many reinforcements the Japanese army had, it would definitely not be less, so I would first ensure the safety of Pengze County.

After the order was issued, after Wang Shihe, Dai Li, He Yingqin and others left the office, Lao Jiang was silent with a photo of Ma Zheng in his hand.

To be honest, he really didn't see anything special about this hairy boy from the photo in front of him, if you want to say the only special thing, I'm afraid that this kid's eyes are more clever, and then this expression is too cold, a bit of an iron-blooded general.

Originally, he was still a little disdainful of this young man, and even when the Duqi Division went south, he didn't go to the train station to greet him, let alone meet him. But now it seems that he really underestimated this young man, who can disturb the tens of thousands of Japanese troops on the front line in Wuhan with only 7,000 people, I am afraid that Xue Boling (Xue Yue) is also quite inferior!

Think about it carefully, since the beginning of the war, at least five or six generals of the Japanese army have died at the hands of this young man, including Hasunuma Pan, Hakada Shigeichi, Takamori Koichi, Tanimoto Mataro, Naito Ichi and other famous generals, and now with one Yin Dong Masakaki, there are two more mahjong players on the table.

It's a pity that such a warrior is not his person, which is really a pity! Fortunately, although this young man belongs to Yan'an, he is a general who sincerely resists Japan, and he has not preserved his strength on the battlefield because of political differences, which is very admirable.
