Wuhan, the headquarters of the 10th Army of the little devils.

The commander of the little devil has received many telegrams from the peripheral troops one after another, and according to the contents of the telegrams, the planes of the 36th Army have been bombing themselves on a large scale and have suffered heavy losses themselves.

The commander of the 18th Division of the Little Devils, Miyahiko Noda, concurrently served as the commander of the 10th Army.

At present, the 10th Army is stationed in the Wuhan area, and the 10th Army has the 18th Division, the 37th Division, and the 92nd Division, in addition to the 11th Brigade and the 23rd Brigade.

The little devils are stationed in the Wuhan area with three divisions and two independent mixed brigades, plus various personnel, with a total strength of more than 100,000.

At Wuhan Airport, the little devil also deployed a lot of aircraft, and in the entire Wuhan area, the little devil can be said to have deployed heavy troops.

Noda Miyahiko never expected that the Chinese army would move on itself so quickly, and it was still a large number of planes of the 36th Group Army, so many planes, that began to bomb themselves violently.

"Your Excellency, Commander! The 37th Division sent another telegram, and a field infantry wing of the 37th Division stationed in Xiantao was also bombed by planes of the 36th Army, losing more than half of its ranks. “

Hearing this, Noda Miyahiko was furious, "The abominable 36th Army! ”

"Your Excellency Commander, we must report to the Nanjing Front Headquarters immediately."

Noda Miyahiko nodded, "Quickly report to Nanjing and ask for reinforcements." ”

The headquarters of the Central China Front Army of the Little Devil is far away in Nanjing, and the current commander is Matsui Ishone, and the base camp of the Little Devil saw that the war in southern China was tense, so General Matsui Ishone, who was relatively old and experienced, was reappointed as the commander of the Central China Front.

As one of Japan's seven major fronts in World War II, the Central China Front not only numbered 500,000 people, but also retained one of the First Division Fronts (from 1939, Japan transferred a large number of A divisions to Southeast Asia to fight).

Noda Miyahiko had no choice but to report to the little devil Central China Front. In the eyes of Noda Miyahiko, the Central China Front has more than 500,000 troops, and it can always send some troops to reinforce him.

In Changsha, not far from Wuhan, there are heavy troops stationed in the little devils, such as Nanchang. Some big cities that are not very far from Wuhan. All were garrisoned with heavy troops.

The reinforcements of the little devils, by train, may be able to reach Wuhan in two or three days, but. Noda Miyahiko is obviously wishful thinking, the entire Central China Front needs to face a large number of national troops and the Eighth Route Army, and the troops that can be drawn are really limited.

Sure enough, soon the Central China Front called back, asking the 10th Army to find a way to face the troops attacking Wuhan. It was just an independent mixed brigade from Changsha to support the 10th Army.

Seeing such a callback, Noda Miyahiko had no choice but to find a way to deploy his troops as soon as possible.

There are not many reinforcements noda miyahiko looks more solemn the little devil knows that among the troops attacking wuhan there are tens of thousands of troops from the thirty-sixth group army in addition. There is also a large number of national troops. Of course, most of these national troops were Zhang Zizhong's 33rd Group Army.

*****

Today is the third day that Zhang Yunfei has arrived in Jingzhou, and the Mustang fighters at the Jingzhou and Yichang airports have been violently bombing the little devils for three days, and a large number of the little devils have been killed. It is estimated that more than 20,000 little devils were killed by the bombing.

What's more, a large number of the little devil's fortifications have been destroyed, clearing a lot of obstacles for the offensive of the ground forces.

Jingzhou, 3rd Column Headquarters.

Zhang Yunfei was listening to a report by Chen Erwa, commander of the 3rd Column. At present, the main forces of the 3rd column have been divided into several routes. has advanced dozens of kilometers, and has fought more than a dozen battles with the little devils, and there are thousands of little devils who have been annihilated.

Among them, the fastest way, which has recovered Xiantao, is continuing to advance eastward, this unit is the 1st Infantry Division of the 3rd Column, under the leadership of the 1st Division Tank Regiment and Mechanized Infantry Regiment, the attack is smooth.

After listening to Comrade Chen Erwa's report, Zhang Yunfei saw that the attacks of the various units were going smoothly and were carried out in full accordance with the operational plan drawn up by the group army.

"Commander-in-Chief! General Zhang Zizhong of the 33rd Group Army sent a telegram saying that General Zhang was inspecting the front line units of the 33rd Group Army and was currently in Baishi Town, which was nearly 70 or 80 kilometers away from Wuhan. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei was a little puzzled, walked to the map and looked at the location of Baishi Town, and then, Zhang Yunfei still decided to go over, starting from Jingzhou, if you drive an off-road vehicle, you can reach it in the afternoon.

Zhang Zizhong is looking for himself, maybe there is something!

So, Zhang Yunfei said to Chen Erwa: "Prepare a few off-road vehicles for me, and I will set off for Baishi Town immediately." ”

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei was about to leave Jingzhou and go to the dangerous front line, Chen Erwa was slightly surprised, very worried about Zhang Yunfei's safety, and couldn't help but dissuade: "Commander-in-chief, there is a war on the front now, what if you encounter danger in the past?" ”

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly, looked at Liu Xingdao next to him: "Don't worry, there will be no danger with the special combat team accompanying me, in addition, your column must pay close attention to the battle situation on the front line, and if there is any major matter, even if it is reported to me or the group army headquarters." ”

"Yes!" Seeing that Zhang Yunfei insisted on going to Baishi Town, Chen Erwa thought for a while, and then said, "Commander-in-chief, then I'll send a guard battalion to follow you!" ”

Zhang Yunfei shook his head, there were too many people in a guard battalion, so the action would naturally not be fast, and it might not be possible to reach the destination after dark, so Zhang Yunfei immediately vetoed it.

Zhang Yunfei thought for a while, and for the sake of safety, he still gave way: "You can send a guard platoon to follow me, pick a comrade who is good and smart." ”

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei refused to bring a guard battalion, Chen Erwa had no choice but to agree, and immediately selected more than 30 soldiers with good skills and rich combat experience to form a guard platoon, which was personally led by his own guard battalion commander and followed Zhang Yunfei all the way.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the 7th and 8th off-road vehicles, a command vehicle, left Jingzhou, and Zhang Yunfei rode in an armored command car, which was arranged by Comrade Chen Erwa, commander of the 3rd Column.

Chen Erwa arranged this way, saying that it was for the convenience of communication, but in fact, it was out of consideration for Zhang Yunfei's safety, after all, the protective performance of the armored command vehicle was much better than that of the off-road vehicle.

Zhang Yunfei didn't mind seeing Chen Erwa's arrangement like this, so he still accepted it, rode in an armored command car, and went east out of Jingzhou.

Zhang Yunfei was accompanied by more than a dozen special combat personnel led by Liu Xing, as well as more than 30 soldiers of the 3rd Column Guard Battalion arranged by Chen Erwa.

At noon, with the excellent off-road performance of off-road vehicles and armored command vehicles, in just two or three hours, it had already left Jingzhou for nearly 100 kilometers, and gradually left the control area of the 3rd Column and began to enter the enemy's more complicated combat zone.

On Zhang Yunfei's convoy, many special combat personnel and soldiers of the guard platoon began to pay attention to the surrounding situation, and their own No. 1 leader was riding in the armored command vehicle, and everyone was still very cautious.

At noon, everyone just stopped and hurriedly ate a little dry food that they had brought with them, and then started the car again, and the convoy continued to move forward.

After driving for more than an hour and advancing thirty or forty kilometers, the road became rough and the terrain moved from the former plains to the mountains.

Seeing that the rugged highway was lined with mountains, Liu Xing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Commander-in-chief! If there is an ambush on the hills on both sides, then they will have a good show. ”

Zhang Yunfei also laughed, Zhang Yunfei knew that Liu Xing was not worried about the ambush of the little devil, Liu Xing was also a master who was not afraid of heaven and earth, Liu Xing at this time was more laughing at the little devil for not opening his eyes and attacking himself.

However, Liu Xing is really a crow's mouth, and on the hills on both sides, there is an ambush of a team of hundreds of people, but this team is not a little devil, but a team of the New Fourth Army.

In this area, there are activities of the New Fourth Army, and the troops of the New Fourth Army have received information that a small army of little devils will pass by here, and hundreds of New Fourth Army troops have laid an ambush early on the hills on both sides of the road.

At present, the New Fourth Army has several major military subdivisions under its jurisdiction, and this unit is a unit of one of the military regions, which belongs to the 6th Army Subdivision of the Jiangbei Subdivision, and it is said that it is the 6th Army Subdivision, but in fact it is a radius of several tens of kilometers, and the guerrillas of the entire New Fourth Army and the New Fourth Army here are less than 2,000 people.

However, the New Fourth Army, which was ambushed on both sides of the hill, was clearly the regular army of the New Fourth Army, because every soldier was basically wearing a military uniform, a team of several hundred people, and a few machine guns.

If it was a guerrilla unit of the New Fourth Army, there were almost no machine guns, and many of the members of the team wore the clothes of ordinary people, and only a few wore military uniforms.

On the hill on the side of the road, behind a bush of withered yellow bushes, several New Fourth Army soldiers are lying in ambush, and not far away, you can still see many figures of the New Fourth Army, and a little farther away, there is even a Czech light machine gun.

Everyone was paying close attention to the highway not far from the bottom of the mountain, and heard the sound of vehicles driving on the road, and one of the commanders of the New Fourth Army, who looked like a cadre, quietly opened the safety of his 20-round Mauser pistol, and then shouted in a low voice: "When the enemy is coming, listen to my orders, and when the enemy is near, my guns will be fired again." ”
