-- Changsha

"Chief Xue, according to the current intensity of the battle, we can only support for more than half a month, and without ammunition supply, we can only use bayonet fists. "Shangguan Yunxiang walked in angrily, sat down in his position and said, "Chief Xue, this time you want to give me an explanation anyway, when will this ammunition supply arrive, the devil's planes, tanks, cannons are more than our machine guns, our country is poor, forget it, but now the ammunition for those mortars is gone, how can this be fought?"www.biquge.info Whether Chongqing wants us Changsha or not, the brothers really can't fight such a battle! ”

As he spoke, Shangguan Yunxiang took off his hat and kept fanning the wind, which showed the anger in his heart.

Xue Yue smiled bitterly and said, "No, don't, you see, haven't you had a lot of ammunition recently?" Chongqing has always watched us, and the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee has always cared about us. ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Yunxiang said even more angrily, "But what are you here?" It's all our domestic and German ammunition, but what about the weapons in the hands of our brethren? That's all Soviet weapons, if that's the case, then let our Soviet troops come down, or give us German-style equipment and ammunition, and we can continue to fight! ”

Saying that, Shangguan Yunxiang changed his expression again, and said with a sad and indignant face, "I'll tell you, Chief Xue, it's not that we don't want to fight, our brothers are not ready to go back when they come out of their hometown, but you go and take a look, our brothers are suffering in the trenches every day, and they can only wait for the devils to come up and then fight back or wait for the night attack after dark, those mortars and machine guns are the courage of the brothers, if these are gone, I am afraid that the brothers will not dare to fight again." ”

Xue Yue took a long breath and said, "I will definitely help you solve this matter, in this way, there are still thousands of machine rifles left by the fallen soldiers in the warehouse, you take them all back first, and I will urge the rear." ”

"Click!! Bang la blah

At that moment, a flash of lightning struck, and heavy rain began to fall in the sky.

"With this shower, the devil's attack should be a little slower. Go back and let the brethren recuperate. Xue Yue persuaded again, Shangguan Yunxiang sighed, saluted, and withdrew.

Wu Yizhi walked in from the back door and said, "Chief Xue, if this matter is not handled well, it is likely to cause a mutiny." ”

Xue Yue rubbed his head, not knowing what to say.

Since the Soviet Union began to aid the Nationalist Army, the core armament of the Nationalist Army has slowly changed from the original German armor division to the Soviet armament division, which takes the Battle of Wuhan as the middle point, before the Battle of Wuhan, there are still many German armament divisions fighting on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, after the Battle of Wuhan, the most elite troops began to slowly change into Soviet-style equipment.

For example, the Fifth Army, which shined in southern Guangxi, was equipped with Soviet-style weapons except for some German-style tanks and armored vehicles, and there were many Soviet-style tanks. The Fifth Army was still in the rear, and on the front line, in Changsha, the most important battlefield, a lot of Soviet troops were gathered.

The troops in Xue Yue's hands were the 15th, 19th, 20th, 27th, and 30th group armies, plus other independent troops, of which the main force of the 19th Group Army was all Soviet equipment except for the 26th Army. In the early battle, these troops have lost more than half of them, and the 19th Group Army has been preserved because of its position, at this time in Changsha, the core force is the 74th Army of the 19th Group Army, the number of this army is as high as more than 30,000 people, more than the number of the whole army of some group armies, the firepower is fierce, is the trump card in Xue Yue's hands.

Xue Yue stood up and looked at the rain outside, and couldn't help but fall into memories.

As early as the beginning of July, Xue Yue found that the weapons and ammunition of the Soviet machinery may not be enough, this is due to the fact that a lot of ammunition was consumed in the active attack launched by himself in the previous period, especially in order to advance quickly, half of the shells were basically consumed. Until now, the defense of Changsha City, these ammunition are a little insufficient, but fortunately, the logistics line of Changsha at that time has not been broken, and a large number of weapons and ammunition have not been shipped in Burma, as long as they are shipped in time, there should be no problem.

Xue Yue immediately sent a telegram to Chongqing to report that the Soviet ammunition needed to be supplied, and Jiang immediately gave instructions after seeing it, and ordered Burma to transport the ammunition in Chongqing at the same time.

Most of Chongqing's ammunition arrived on time, although a part was missing, but Xue Yue didn't bother to say anything, these ammunition played an extremely important role in the battle from the end of July to the beginning of August, especially those shells, although they could not fight an artillery battle with the Japanese army, but using the terrain, a few rounds to run, also made the Japanese army feel uncomfortable, according to the schedule, by the middle of August, Burma's ammunition should be able to come up, so that there would be no problems.

As a result, now, there is a big problem with the ammunition in Myanmar, Kong Lingkan is dizzy, and he actually asked himself to give him a large amount of bribes in the Ninth War Zone before he was willing to release the materials, and every day these materials are delayed, Changsha does not know how much blood will be shed, and Xue Yue is a little depressed when he is constantly floating all the way, and now he is even more clearly asking for money, Xue Yue angrily called Kong Lingkan directly to question.

Kong Lingkan is really not afraid of Xue Yue, Xue Yue is a cadre under Chen Cheng to put it bluntly, and in front of Kong Xiangxi, a relative, Chen Cheng is nothing, so he said directly, "There is no opening fee, and these transportation teams can't be called by themselves." ”

Xue Yue had no choice but to call Chen Cheng again for help, and Chen Cheng asked him to call Kong Xiangxi directly after learning about this, because the Changsha war situation had become the most important thing in Jiang's heart at that time.

Kong Lingkan received Lao Tzu's order, and his heart was extremely unhappy, at the beginning of the matter of the Youth Army made him feel very unhappy, and now it is like this again, he said to the people around him, "Which army is not behind a big man?" If that's the case, let's not drink the northwest wind? ”

As a result, Kong Lingkan said to Xue Yue, "The money must be given, but you can remove your own share, give a discount, and the rules cannot be broken." ”

Xue Yue was anxious to ask for ammunition, and reluctantly took out part of the military expenses and sent them to Kong Lingkan, fortunately, this Changsha made a lot of national soldiers die, and this military expenditure is a confused account, Kong Lingkan will accept it when he sees it, and start to ship, but the time has reached the middle of August.

Xue Yue walked to the map, looked at the map and said, "Now that batch of ammunition and materials have just entered China, I am afraid it will be more than half a month before we reach Changsha, and it will be a problem if these ammunition will not enter by then..."

Wu Yizhi nodded and said, "General Shangguan also said just now that the artillery of the army only has three or five days of shells, and the bullets can last for a while, but without artillery, it can't support the Japanese attack at all." ”

"Boom" "Boom" At this time, bursts of explosions came faintly from a distance, Xue Yue looked into the distance, stretched his neck and said, "The Japanese army actually attacked in the rain, are they starting to be impatient?" ”

"Ding Ling, Bell Ring", a hurried phone rang, Xue Yue walked over and took it and said, "I'm Xue Yue!" ”

"Report to Chief Xue, I am Wang Yaowu of the 74th Army, the Japanese army suddenly launched a fierce attack, and a large number of Japanese infantry and tanks are assaulting, our army is under great pressure, and I ask for support."

Xue Yue frowned and scolded, "How long has it been since the cannon went off?" Do you want support? Can you even fight? ”

Over there, Wang Yaowu looked at the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles in the distance and was about to cry, and said, "Chief Xue, this... This Japanese army is really menacing, you can take a look, I can't see the edge of the Japanese tanks at all, I'm afraid that I will survive until the end to support, and when the support comes, we will not be able to hold Changsha. The devil's artillery is not hitting our position, but in the communication trench behind our position, this is to cut off the contact with our army! ”

Xue Yue was shocked when he heard this, he hung up the phone, picked up the helmet beside him and said to Wu Yizhi, "Go!" Let's go to the front and see. ”

It was raining heavily, and Xue Yue was not worried about the Japanese plane's attack, and the group quickly ran to the observation point of Yuelu Mountain and looked at the frontline battlefield in the distance.

Xue Yue picked up the binoculars and looked at it, only to see that in the heavy rain, the Japanese tanks were working hard in the muddy muddy water, the Japanese infantry was constantly advancing under the protection of the tanks, and the other side was desperately counterattacking on the position, and the trajectory of machine guns and rifles could be clearly seen in the dim rainy day, but there were not many anti-tank guns to join the battle, this is because in the battle some time ago, anti-tank guns were the artillery that consumed the most ammunition, At this point, there were not many shells left to attack, so they had to attack with great frugality.

Xue Yue looked back, and sure enough, he saw that the Japanese army's heavy artillery attack was behind the front-line position, which was to cut off traffic.

Xue Yue put down the binoculars and handed it to Wu Yizhi and said, "Is Okamura Ningji, this bastard crazy, with so many tanks and armored vehicles dispatched in such weather, is he not afraid of all the losses?" ”

Wu Yizhi put down the binoculars and sighed: "Devil, this is the discovery that we are short of ammunition, it should be that when they attacked tentatively a few days ago, they found that our army's anti-artillery counterattack was not as strong as before." Such an attack on the 74th Army could not be stopped for long. ”

Xue Yue immediately turned around and said, "Order the 30th Group Army to support immediately!" ”

The communication troops quickly went down to give orders, and after a while, they saw several troops braving the rain and artillery fire desperately rushing to the front line, Xue Yue continued to watch the battle, only to see that these two troops wanted to bypass the Japanese artillery at first, but soon the Japanese transferred the artillery fire to their heads, and after they were suppressed for a while, they left thousands of Tongze's corpses and retreated.

Xue Yue looked angry and scolded: "How did Wang Lingji do it? Is this a retreat? ”

Wu Yizhi persuaded, "The Sichuan army has already suffered too heavy losses, so I think it's better to let other troops go up." ”

Xue Yue crooked his mouth, of course he knew that the losses of the Sichuan army were already extremely tragic in the early stage, and he was just using the Sichuan army to test it.

He said, "Then order the 20th Army to go up, let them take a detour, and don't fly the military flag, everyone is camouflaged with mud, the devil should have an observation balloon, but such a heavy rain, it should be impossible to see." ”

At this time, the front line has been broken through by the Japanese army, and it has begun to enter a white-knuckle battle, the 74th Army is an elite unit, and it dares to fight, but after all, it is not as good as the Japanese army in terms of various proficiency, and the Japanese tanks use machine guns from time to time, which is extremely disadvantaged, but because of the close distance, many national troops hit the Japanese army by self-explosion, and they were also anxious for a while.

The main force of the 20th Group Army was the Jin Sui Army and part of the National Army brought out by Shang Zhen, Xue Yue saw that these troops did not carry the military flag and wanted to cross the path, at first it was fine, but it was soon discovered that the Japanese heavy artillery accurately hit the heads of these troops, and the support troops were repulsed.

The first line of defense has been breached.

Xue Yue was anxious, and Wu Yizhi said, "This is not right, how can it be so accurate, it is raining heavily now, even if there is an observation balloon, it should not be so accurate, it is like someone is watching." ”

Xue Yue's mind flashed and shouted, "Quick! Immediately check Yuelu Mountain to see if any Japanese intelligence troops have touched in. ”

On the other side, Okamura Ninji looked at the new intelligence and nodded, "Very good, Itagaki Seishiro's intelligence force is really powerful, and every move of the national army is under our control." I see how Xue Yue fights with me. ”

The staff officer next to him smiled and said, "Our army concentrates the main force and takes advantage of the rainy day to strike with all its might, and when it rains heavily, people's mood is often more impatient, and I think the national army will soon be defeated." ”

Okamura Ninji nodded and said, "That's right, the imperial meeting in Tokyo was held a few days ago, and His Majesty the Emperor asked us to settle the battle in Changsha as soon as possible, we have dragged on for too long, the order goes down, do not break Changsha, never retreat, the six divisions are divided into three divisions, take turns to attack, I want to use the continuous attack like a flood to completely defeat the Xue Boling who is known as Yue Fei's rebirth!" ”

The Japanese attack lasted for five hours, and the sky was completely dark, Xue Yue looked at the Japanese intelligence officer who had committed suicide in front of him, and was resentful, he was actually touched on the mountain, and the battle just now was completely teased by Okamura Ningji, but now that it is dark, maybe he can use the sky to send reinforcements to fight a night attack. Xue Yue ordered, "Immediately order all the departments in the rear to mobilize death squads and prepare to go up and counterattack!" (To be continued.) )
