Li Yutang gave Jiang Cheng a thumbs up and said, "If anyone says that my brother Jiang doesn't know soldiers, I have to give him two slaps, that's right, the devil has now laid Xiangtan and is hoarding supplies, and he is about to come to our Hengyang, and the commission called, asking us to hold Hengyang until the end of September, but I am ready to hold until October 15, after all, this reinforcement, hehehe, don't talk about this!" ”

Saying that, Li Yutang pointed around and said, "As for the deployment, Brother Jiang, look." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This Xiangjiang River divides our Hengyang into east and west, just like you said, the devil must go down the river, so we can only choose one defense, we naturally choose the west that is better defended, that is to say, the east train station and airport in the east will be abandoned. Therefore, the devils will definitely attack our army on the southwest two roads at that time, and the most important thing is the commanding heights in the south - the Shiniufeng position. ”

Speaking, Li Yutang looked at Hu Lian, Zhang Lingpu and Fang Xianjue with appreciation and said, "After we discussed, we decided to use the advantageous terrain to construct several position fortifications from Shiniufeng to Xiangjiang River in the southwest, connected by traffic trenches, and the field roads close to the city outline were all closed with bunkers, and each position covered the traffic trenches, leading to the main position, directly to the center of the street, and the headquarters of our army was located in the only reinforced concrete building in Hengyang, and in the underground warehouse of the central bank, all the heavy artillery units of our army were set up behind Shiniufeng, and the mountain was used to form a cover, form a fire suppression of the Japanese army, hehe, Brother Jiang, it's not me who blows, I always have an urge to fight back now. ”

Jiang Cheng and the others couldn't help laughing, and Hu Lian said in a strange way, "And we also prepared a big dish for the devil in Shiniu Peak, but I fought with Master Fang for a long time to grab half of the defense task of Shiniu Peak." ”

Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "I'm very curious about this, I don't know if I can know?" ”

Li Yutang nodded and said, "It just so happens that half of the weapons you brought will be sent to Shiniu Peak, let's go and have a look." ”

The group rode a war horse and came to Shiniu Peak, and when they were about to arrive, Li Yutang said with a smile, "Okay, it's here, Brother Jiang, we have to leave next, we can't ride a horse and gallop." ”

Jiang Cheng looked at the foot of the mountain and there was still some distance to go. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Is there a minefield?" ”

Li Yutang nodded, and continued to walk forward with Jiang Cheng and the others, Fang Xianjue pointed to the nearby trenches and bunkers and said, "These trenches and bunkers are the first line of defense, but our real killer move is in the second line of defense, come, continue to move forward." ”

The group walked further, and in front of Jiang Cheng, a kind of trench that Jiang Cheng had never seen before suddenly appeared, and even the well-informed Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at such a trench.

Hu Lian squeezed his eyes and frowned, "This is what Master Fang came up with, let's call him Fang Xianjue's trench." ”

Fang Xianjue touched his head a little embarrassed and said, "This is actually the result of everyone's discussion, we flattened all the most important hilltop positions facing the foot of the enemy's side, so that the original gentle hill has become an unclimbable cliff now, and then dig a trench 8 to 10 meters wide under this cliff, this trench we require is at least ten meters deep, the bottom of the trench is covered with nail boards, bamboo sticks, Mr. Jiang, please see, all the Japanese troops want to attack, they can only cross this trench, even if it is the Japanese army's chariot, There is no place for it under such trenches! ”

In front of Jiang Cheng was a deep trench, I don't know how far it extended, only a few pontoon bridges built with ladders for people to pass through. Jiang Cheng looked down, about three stories high, Jiang Cheng signaled to Li Qian, Li Qian nodded, jumped down in the surprised eyes of everyone, jumped again, Jiang Cheng found that even Li Qian couldn't jump out easily, and finally Li Qian stepped on the recess of the trench wall and flew out.

Li Yutang and the others couldn't help but applaud, Zhang Lingfu was lustful, and couldn't help but look at Li Qian with a ponytail in a daze, and suddenly reacted that this was the benefactor's side, and hurriedly lowered his head, feeling extremely ashamed, but the others didn't notice, they just felt that Li Qian's kung fu was good, and Jiang Cheng was lying in a daze.

Li Qian arched her hand a little shyly, and said to Jiang Cheng, "Owner, unless you are a martial arts master, don't think about coming up if you go down, let alone the bullets and bullets when you go to war." ”

Hu Lian continued, "The devil can probably only use the ladder to transport troops, but our cannons and grenades are not vegetarian, I guarantee to blow one by one, I don't believe that his ladder will have more grenades than mine!" ”

Jiang Cheng nodded admiringly, he looked at the mountain behind the trench, and said worriedly, "But once the devil can't be defeated, he will use poison gas bombs, are we prepared for this?" ”

Li Yutang said with a smile, "Chief Xue has concentrated most of the gas masks for us, and in addition, the Youth Army has one for everyone." ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Wow, in this case, I don't think there's anything to be afraid of, I'll send a report to the chairman, he is very worried, I'll let the committee watch the battle with peace of mind, and wait for our good news from Hengyang." ”

Several people smiled and nodded, indicating that they were very confident in the defense of Hengyang.

-- Xiangtan

Anan Weiji looked at the map and said, "Our next target is Hengyang, take here, and then capture Yongxing, Guiyang and other places to reach Shaoguan." His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for news of our victory in Tokyo, and I hope you will fight with all your might! ”

"Hey!" The Japanese generals who had once again successfully captured the city responded in unison.

The commander of the 3rd Division, Toyoda Fangtaro, looked at the crowd and asked, "There is a well-constructed defensive position of the enemy army in Hengyang, according to the intelligence of the special department, where the enemy army has deployed fifty or sixty thousand people, including the Tenth Army, which is known as the Taishan Army, and the young army that is extremely good at fighting, and there are many fierce generals among the defenders, I think this battle will be a hard battle." ”

Anan Wei looked at the crowd and said, "Since the Battle of Changsha in June, our army has been fighting continuously for nearly three months, including the Battle of Changsha and other vicious battles, and the casualties are not small, but our Great Japanese Empire has a good logistics support and supply system, we only repaired in Changsha for two days, and the soldiers in the rear replenished one-third of our losses, but the Nationalist Army is not good, their soldiers are fighting one less and one less, so don't worry about anything... As for the plan to capture Hengyang, I have discussed it with General Okamura Ninji before, so let's come and take a look. ”

Saying that, Anan Weiji walked to the map and said, "Hengyang is located south of Hengshan, west of the Xiangjiang River, the National Army does not have a navy and air force, and naturally there will be no naval army, so the Xiangjiang River is owned by our army, but as far as I know, Hengyang has sunk stones and blocked the river, so too big gunboats can't enter, but after all, our army can use the Xiangjiang River to use troops, I order!" ”

"Huh"

"The 3rd Division and the 4th Division are attacking Hengyang from the north, attracting the attention of the defenders of Hengyang in a single way, the 40th Division is attacking from the east of Hengyang, your task is to take Hengyang Airport, and cut off the possibility of Jiangxi to Hengyang to help, the 13th Division and the 6th Division are the main forces of this attack, you want to attack the south of Hengyang, and after taking the commanding heights of Shiniufeng, unite the 3rd and 4th Divisions to launch a general attack on Hengyang!" After Anan finished speaking, he pointed to Hengyang and said, "Our army has concentrated nearly 100,000 troops this time, and this battle can only be won, not defeated!" ”

Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it twice. Although the Japanese army was only twice as large as the defenders of the Nationalist Army, in the hearts of the Japanese army, according to the consistent war example, the Japanese army alone could fight three people of the Nationalist Army, that is, according to the combat strength of the Nationalist Army, it should be 300,000, five times that of the Nationalist Army, and the Japanese army was naturally very confident in breaking through Hengyang.

-- Hengyang

After Jiang Cheng and Li Yutang and others made an inspection, they also knew that these generals had military affairs, so they only let them leave a few guards to accompany them, and let them go to their respective jobs, Jiang Cheng returned to the camp and was about to take a rest, Jin Shan walked in, knocked on the door and said to Jiang Cheng, "Boss, an urgent telegram forwarded from Yan'an." ”

Jiang Cheng stepped forward and took a look, and after looking at it a few times, he smiled and said, "It's been three years, and the Japanese have finally noticed me...."

Jin Shan said nervously, "Dongjia, the telegram said that the Japanese are likely to send someone to Hengyang to find you, I think it is better for you to leave early, as long as you leave, the world is so big that the Japanese can't even find the location of the owner, let alone hurt the owner." ”

Jiang Cheng thought about it, although he was not afraid of the Japanese spies, but this was a trouble after all, but the Japanese army was about to attack Hengyang, and the battle of Hengyang must not go wrong, otherwise the situation in China would change greatly, Jiang Cheng weighed it and felt that this risk could be taken, so he said, "It's okay, I just stay in the headquarters and don't go out, and the devil's agents can't find me." It's still very safe here. ”

Jin Shan couldn't persuade Jiang Cheng, so he could only go out and start arranging the defense line, and let the guards disperse to several main roads outside the headquarters, and finally let Li Qian protect Jiang Cheng closely, Li Qian was naturally very happy, time passed little by little, and three days passed in a blink of an eye, Jiang Cheng brought medium and heavy weapons under Jiang Cheng's proposal to distribute half of the tenth army, and the light weapons were also replaced by Fang Xianjue's division, so that Shiniufeng's weapons and equipment were all unified in the German style, and the Shiniufeng defensive position at this time had a reserve tenth division, and the division commander Fang Xianjue, The 201st Division of the Youth Army, the division commander Hu Lian, and the 12,000 people of the whole division defended the larger Shiniufeng north position, with a total of 20,000 troops, nearly 700 light and heavy machine guns, 150 mortars, 40 anti-aircraft guns, 30 anti-aircraft guns, 30 infantry guns, 75 howitzers, and 12 150-mm howitzers of the 1925 type, concentrating the strongest strength of the national army.

The 203rd Division of the Youth Army was placed between the north of Shiniufeng and Hengyang City to support Shiniufeng and Hengyang City at any time, the 190th Division was placed in the east and north of Hengyang City, and the 3rd Division was the general reserve, which was placed in the west of Hengyang, everything was ready, just waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army.

On September 5, 1940, the Japanese army concentrated five divisions and 100,000 troops began to attack Hengyang, on September 6, Japanese planes began to bomb Hengyang, and on September 7, the Japanese army arrived in Hengyang through the Xiangjiang River and occupied the eastern part of the Xiangjiang River in Hengyang.

"Yaga!" Anan Weiji looked at the photos taken by the scouts in Xiangtan and scolded angrily: "The cunning Shina people, they actually released water to flood all the areas west of Hengyang to the Xiangjiang River, and now it has become a swamp and a quagmire, and it is impossible to march at all!" ”

Chief of Staff Tsukada Tsukasa said, "Xue Yue played a good chess move, he let the Tenth Army prepare for defense in Hengyang a month in advance, this month the Tenth Army of the National Army has completely changed the geographical environment of Hengyang, blowing up and digging all the roads and bridges, this is preparing to fight to the death with us... Now it seems that we can only attack after landing in the south of Hengyang. ”

Anan nodded a few times and said, "Okay, then let the 13th Division attack first." This place is too small, and we can only attack one division at a time, but this is fine, our troops can slowly repair in the back, even if they use wheel warfare, they can also take Hengyang. Saying that, Anan Wei smiled, shook his head and said, "But this Hengyang wheel can be used by us to fight with a wheel?" The 13th Division is also a first-class division. ”

Anan nodded a few times and said, "Okay, then let the 13th Division attack first." This place is too small, and we can only attack one division at a time, but this is fine, our troops can slowly repair in the back, even if they use wheel warfare, they can also take Hengyang. Saying that, Anan Wei smiled, shook his head and said, "But this Hengyang wheel can be used by us to fight with a wheel?" The 13th Division is also a first-class division. ”

-- In Hengyang City

Li Yutang said with his hands behind his back, "That's the situation, our first opponent is the 13th Division, everyone should know about this division, right?" ”

Zhang Lingfu thought of the photos of the rain of bullets and the massacre in Nanjing, and he said viciously: "This bastard, like the Sixth Division behind, is the executioner of the Nanjing Massacre!" ”

Jiang Cheng only felt that the road was narrow, and said to everyone, "I read a book written by the Japanese abroad "Showa 12 Years, China Nanjing Raiders", saying that in the Battle of Nanjing, the 65th Wing of the 13th Division was the most courageous, killing more than 50,000 enemies... Hehe, fifty thousand? Are they all warriors? That's all civilians!! That's a massacre! Now that they're here, I don't think we can let them go back. ”

Hu Lian hugged Zhang Lingfu's shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I can't let you take revenge with your own hands, because... I'm going to kill all those little devils who have been to Nanjing! ”

Li Yutang nodded and said, "In order to paralyze the enemy and hide our strength, we didn't launch a counterattack in the bombardment a few days ago, and now I order you to take out all the weapons except heavy artillery, and give the 13th Division a head-on attack!" ”

When Li Yutang and others were making the final combat deployment, a small team quietly entered Hengyang, headed by Toushan, who knew that the battle of Hengyang was imminent, and would definitely strengthen his defenses, so he did not dare to bring more people, and only selected five elite agents and a traitor who grew up in Japan and was sent to China and has been a section chief.
