Chapter 1057: Peng Ze, Hukou lost
Beginning on August 4, the Japanese and Honto Marines organized a demolition death squad in an attempt to break through the blocking line at Madang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
With no obstacles along the way, the demolition team went very well.
China and Japan fought for many days over Madang Fortress, and although the Chinese Communist Air Force also had many classic examples of shooting down, the enemy was strong and we were weak, and in addition the backwardness of the planes and the difficulty of replenishment.
The confrontation in the air gradually lost its power.
The situation has become more tense than ever.
On land, Luo Zhuoqing personally went to the front line to direct the counteroffensive operations against the Xiangshan and Changshan positions, and once regained some of the lost ground, but they were all fought back because of the Japanese army's reinforcement.
At this time, the gap in the quality of armaments between China and Japan was truly reflected, and after the victory of the Japanese army, they continued to chase the Chinese J team behind the butt and beat it.
Three days later, the unbelievable news came that the Japanese had successfully blown up the Madang Fortress blocking line, and then Pengze had fallen.
Along Pengze to the west, there is another important river defense fortress on the Yangtze River, Hukou.
The mouth of the lake is the entrance of Poyang Lake to the Yangtze River, which is the gateway from the Jiujiang River to the Yangtze River.
Once the Japanese occupy Hukou, their ships can sail into Poyang Lake and directly threaten the flank of the Chinese defenders on the Nanxun Road (Jiujiang in Nanchang) road, and at the same time, from Poyang Lake to the west, they can threaten the flank of Wuhan and the rear of the Third Theater in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the east.
In order to secure Hukou, Chen Cixiu, commander of the Ninth Theater of Operations, appointed Guo Rudong, commander of the 43rd Army, as the death officer of the Hukou Garrison Area, under the command of Wang Dongyuan of the 34th Army Corps, to carry out a counterattack on Niangniangmiao and Pengze, which had been occupied by the Japanese army.
At the same time, the Chinese Navy laid a large number of mines on the river near the mouth of the lake to prevent the Japanese ships from breaking through the Madang blocking line and continuing westward.
On August 7, the 77th Regiment of the 34th Historical Army Corps was the vanguard of the 460th Regiment, which collided head-on with the Botian Detachment near Tangshan, and after the fierce battle, the 460th Regiment retreated to Yangjiashan, and the Botian Detachment fiercely pursued, and the 13th Squadron of the Japanese Field Gamble released the anger on the Yangjiashan position, and hundreds of officers and soldiers of the 460th Regiment were poisoned, and the remnants were forced to withdraw!
On the 8th, the Japanese Pota detachment was reinforced by the 106th Division, and the two sides fell into a bitter battle.
On the 9th, the main force of the Japanese Hatian Detachment, with the cooperation of the 11th Marine Corps of the Navy and the 15th Air Force of the Navy, launched a joint attack on the 26th of our defense of Hukou, and Longtan Mountain, the outer position of Hukou, was lost......
On the 10th, the 11th Division was ordered to attack from the flank of the Japanese army, and the Japanese released poison gas, and the 26th Division suffered heavy casualties.
In the evening, the mouth of the lake was captured by the Japanese army.
At this time, the news about Leng Feng is naturally not as thrilling as the battle of Madang and Hukou Fortress.
This week, Leng Feng and Tang Jing can be regarded as getting along day and night, although the relationship has not developed in the direction of men and women, but at least they have understood each other in a real sense for such a long time, and they have understood each other a little more, and the relationship has become much more harmonious.
Leng Feng is a little bigger than Tang Jing, and in terms of title, it is no longer blunt in the past, it is called position, and sometimes, in private, when there are no outsiders, he will also call "Xiao Jing".
This subtle change, the two parties did not feel that there was anything wrong, the two families were originally world friends, but some unpleasant things happened before, and now it is just to change the relationship back.
However, the woman's senses were very keen, and Leng Yue noticed that Tang Jing had changed in her attitude towards Leng Feng.
But she didn't say it, just paid attention to it silently, she did grow up, her emotional intelligence was also high, and she also understood that the relationship between a man and a woman, others were involved, and it could only be more and more chaotic.
Now that's it, just wait and see what happens.
This is an opportunity for Tang Jing, an opportunity for her to enter Leng Feng's heart.
Of course, Leng Feng's admiration for Tang Jing so far is only an appreciation of her talent, and there is an instinctive resistance.
After all, he is not the real Leng Feng, he can accept Leng Feng's parents and sister, and this is no problem, because he does not need to have a close relationship with them.
Tang Jing is different, he is the fiancée of "Leng Feng", if he accepts it, he will have to live with her, sleep in the same bed, and hide such a big secret in his heart, he will be uneasy.
And Wu Xiaoyun is an irrelevant person in the first place, and when she is with her, she does not have such a burden in her heart.
Lao Yu's life was pulled back, but he still lay in bed for three days before he woke up.
When he saw Wu Xiaoyun and others, Yu Youlin was so excited that he left tears on the spot, this time he thought he couldn't survive.
Unexpectedly, he actually came out of that demon cave alive.
There are a few people who can get out of the secret service that have been caught, and even if they don't die, they probably won't see anyone.
They won't let these ugly things they do be known to the outside world.
Yu Youlin told some of the stories of his interrogation and torture, and he did not confess under torture, which was not an appraisal of his will and faith, but he knew very well that once he opened his mouth, his life would not belong to him.
The day himself won't let him leave alive, he's seen too much, he opened his mouth, confessed everything, and then died.
As long as he doesn't die, if he wants to dig out what is in his head, he has to let him live, and there is hope if he lives.
Although, this hope is a bit slim.
Still, he waited for hope.
Regarding Wu Xiaoyun's invitation, Yu Youlin agreed without hesitation, and walked through the ghost gate, he also understood that there was no way to turn back what he had done, he could only find a strong backer or organization.
Who is reliable, is there anything more reliable than the old leader?
Yu Youlin is more assertive than Wei Jia, especially in the choice of major events, Wei Jia is used to listening to Yu Youlin, because Yu Youlin is also good at age.
Yu Youlin agreed to work with Wu Xiaoyun, and the biggest problem was solved, and when his injuries were better, he could evacuate Shanghai.
Although Lao Yu's injuries look very serious, they are much lighter than Xiao Hai, Lao Yu's bones are not injured, the injuries are all on the flesh and skin, of course, the viscera and organs are not good, after all, being tortured in it is not something that normal people can insist on.
After a week, Lao Yu was able to get out of bed and move around normally.
According to the doctor's estimate, in another week, he should be able to act normally, so Wu Xiaoyun set a return date, and left Shanghai around August 20 to return directly to northern Henan.
On the Yutai side, Guo Weiquan has taken over the regiment of the 119th Division for almost a week.
He did not completely apply the training model of the New First Army, but first conducted a physical fitness and cultural test, and divided the soldiers into three grades: A, B, and C.
A is a person with good physical fitness and a certain cultural quality.
B is of average physical fitness and literacy, but the level of education is not high.
C is not up to standard, basically uneducated, and older.
Officers, those who are not qualified in physical fitness can be returned directly, and those who are not qualified in culture can stay temporarily, which can be improved, but if they are not up to standard for a period of time, they will be returned in the same way.
Soldiers, or men, are all good-looking, if this is returned, the face will be lost, and there is no hope for promotion in the future.
Guo Weiquan did not engage in discrimination, but he had to use different means for different troops, otherwise, if he wanted to quickly improve his combat effectiveness, he would not be able to do it.
The three ranks of soldiers were organized into three battalions, Battalion A, Battalion B and Battalion C, and the three battalions were treated and paid the same salary.
The training method, the food standard are all the same, the difference is in the incentives.
For example, the first place in the training performance of Battalion A can get a high allowance and the opportunity to be promoted, the second place can get a high allowance, the third place will be rewarded with a pen, and so on.
Then the assessment is held once every three days, and those who exceed the standard of Grade A are stayed, and those who are below the standard go to Grade B, and those who reach Grade A can be promoted to Grade A, and so on, those who are promoted can also be rewarded.
Under this reward and punishment promotion mechanism, the regiment of the 119th Division burst out with amazing enthusiasm and the training mood was high.
In just one week, the temperament and appearance of the entire regiment have undergone earth-shaking changes.
When Tian Wenqi came to observe the training results, he didn't believe that this regiment belonged to his 119th Division.
The spirit and spirit have become strange, and they have simply become another army.
In the first week, the number of people in Battalion A was the least, and after three days, there were some increases, and there were also people who were slack in their thinking and were dismissed.
In the second three days, the number of people in Battalion A suddenly increased, from more than 50 people to 100 people.
Battalion B was the largest in number, with 1,500 men, and after removing officers, there were at least 1,400 men, and Battalion B accounted for two-thirds.
A week later, the number of people in Battalion B increased instead of decreasing, and the number of people in Battalion C dropped from more than 400 to less than 400!
These 400 people are actually unqualified according to the standards set by Guo Weiquan, and if they are conscripted according to the recruitment standards of the New First Army, these people are not even qualified to join the garrison brigade.
However, this is not their own army after all, and it can only be motivated by this method, and cannot be eliminated directly.
In another week, it was different, with more than 150 men in Battalion A, 1,000 in Battalion B, and then more than 200 in Battalion C.
At this time, Guo Weiquan announced the adjustment of the establishment.
Converted the battalion into a regimental reconnaissance company, equipped with the best, also armed with heavy machine guns and mortars.
The second battalion was reorganized into three ordinary infantry battalions, named after the first, second and third battalions, the third battalion, the third battalion, some of which became the cooking class, and the rest formed a transport support company and a stretcher team.
In this way, the regiment of the 119th Division can be regarded as a preliminary formation.
Then the officers also undergo two weeks of devil training, and then they are reassigned according to their previous ranks and abilities.
Of course, this is only temporary, and what adjustments they will make after returning to their original units is a matter for the 119th Division and the 68th Army themselves.
The troops have been matched with high and low levels, effectively allocating resources and troops, and forming an effectively integrated unit, which not only optimizes resources but also improves overall combat effectiveness.
Although it was still a little weak in terms of weapons, the combat effectiveness of this regiment was at least twice as high as when it first came.
At the same time, the 16th Regiment of the 9th Brigade brought by Fang Zishan was also supplemented and retrained, and they did not use Guo Weiquan's method, but they also sent officers to participate in the training, and the combat effectiveness of the troops was also significantly improved.
After the Japanese captured Hukou, Wuhan hurriedly ordered the 18th Army and other troops to counterattack the Botian detachment.
The 18th Army was the elite of the civil engineering department, and its combat effectiveness was also quite famous among the national J, temporarily suppressing the Hatian detachment in the riverside area near the mouth of the lake.
The offensive of the Hatada detachment, which had been fighting continuously for almost a month, slowed down slightly.
