Ye Zhao's orders were conveyed level by level, the officers were okay, they were used to complete obedience, and the soldiers' reaction was greater, especially the top soldiers led by Wang Jinyu who had a relatively high level of skills and tactics and annihilated more devils, they couldn't understand why the division headquarters wanted to give this kind of order to show the enemy's weakness.

Wang Jinyu said to the squad leader who gave the order to him at that time: "Who gave this bullshit order?" The little devils are about to be destroyed, and they actually want to stop attacking, isn't this a chance for the enemy to escape? No, I can't accept it! ”

"It's an order!" That's all the squad leader can answer.

Wang Jinyu sat down, he held the machine gun in his arms, remembered Wang Jinfeng, there were tears in his eyes, and he roared: "No, I want to avenge my second brother." Squad leader, do you know that my second brother is dead? My second brother is dead! ”

Wang Jinfeng used to be a top soldier under the squad leader, he also felt sad, he leaned closer to pat Wang Jinyu on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Jin Feng's sacrifice, I am also very sad." But this is war, today is Jinfeng, and next time it will be your turn and me. It is precisely because Jin Feng has been sacrificed that you have to take more care, because you have to help Jin Feng complete his task of killing the enemy. How? Are you timid, afraid that you won't be able to complete the double task? ”

"Ha, I'm not even afraid of death, I'm still afraid of this-" Wang Jinyu roared loudly, and suddenly, he realized the hard work of the squad leader. His face turned red, and he shook his head and whispered, "Squad leader, I resolutely carry out the order." ”

The soldiers of the 123rd Regiment finally faithfully carried out the orders of the division headquarters, but on the other side, after Nakajima Kenmura saw this change, his face became ugly. The strength of the Cadet Army was too much to his expectations. Let's not talk about mortars or anything, but what I can worry about is a repeating rifle for each person. As a special division, the 106th Division has a big gap in strength and equipment compared with the standing A division, and the most obvious is the number of heavy artillery. During the Second Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army and the Cadet Army were deeply impressed by the heavy artillery of the Cadet Army, and since then, all the artillery at the brigade level of the Japanese Army's A Division has become heavy artillery. Japan's own resources are limited, and North Korea is equally poor. Northeast China is rich in production, but because it has not been in operation for a long time, and the existence of anti-Japanese armed forces such as the Northeast Volunteer Army, the Japanese have not yet been able to exploit unscrupulously, so they must still focus on the equipment of some heavy weapons, and they cannot achieve the same level as the Cadet Army. This is also the reason why the 106th Division has only one wing of heavy artillery. Nakajima has carefully analyzed the tactics of the student army, and knows that Ouyang Yunqi likes to engage in artillery tactics. To deal with artillery tactics, there are currently only two means, either relying on aviation or concocting artillery. Anqing Airport was destroyed, so that the Japanese army's air superiority was wiped out, in this case, Nakajima had to treasure the heavy artillery in his hand, when he found that the opposite side of the Cadet Army suddenly made a measure to prevent artillery attacks, worried that the other side was still ambushed with heavy artillery waiting for the heavy artillery to show the direction first, but hesitated.

Another reason, after all, there are more than 1,500 imperial troops on the other side, although in Nakajima's opinion, these people are also cost-effective to change the regiment of cadets, but at this moment, in the case of the possibility of adding a heavy artillery wing, he feels that it is not cost-effective. There is no doubt that launching an artillery attack at this time will definitely be able to completely annihilate the defenders of Shizhong Mountain, and even destroy most of the Yanlie Mountain Cadets by the way, but once the heavy artillery wing is judged by the artillery of the Cadet Corps and destroyed it, then he really wants to cry without tears. However, if they didn't carry out the shelling, they would be banished, and under the superior firepower of the Cadet Army, Nakajima couldn't believe that they could still turn the tables.

The battle of annihilation still started as scheduled, and to Nakajima's great regret, the 123rd Regiment actually used mortar tactics again. The mortars of the Cadet Corps were at least 85 mm caliber, and dozens of large-caliber mortars were fired at the same time.

The forward landing force led by Yamaikegaki finally launched a decisive reunion, and more than 800 devils braved artillery fire to charge the 123rd Regiment. And their fate is undoubted, although these devil soldiers showed a fearless side in the end, but in the end they could not escape the result of the destruction of the whole army.

The vanguard of Yamaikegaki did not carry many heavy weapons, at least none of them, which put them in a dilemma when they were attacked by mortars, and they could only be beaten passively. During this period, Yamaikegaki organized several attacks, trying to break out of the city, or at least break through the blockade of the cadets, but in the face of far superior firepower, his several efforts only accelerated the speed of the army's demise - the ammunition of the cadets seemed to be running out, and no matter which direction they attacked from (in fact, there were only three directions), they were greeted by a torrential rain of bullets. In this case. Even if the little devil is not afraid of death, he still can't get rid of the end of the whole army.

The entire 3,000 Japanese troops, except for more than 200 people who withdrew with the ship, all the others were buried on the front line position of Shizhong Mountain. During this period, Nakajima Kemura couldn't help but order the heavy artillery wing to provide support several times, but when he thought that there were still artillery soldiers of the Cadet Army on the opposite side, he could only put down his half-raised hand and sighed twice in vain.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the gunfire on the Shizhongshan position finally stopped. After paying more than 300 casualties among the students, the 123rd Regiment completely annihilated the vanguard landing force led by Yama Ikegaki . At the last moment, Yamaikegaki led more than 200 gendarmes to launch a desperate fight, but they were greeted not by the broadswords of the Xuebing Army, but by a dense number of bullets. Yamaikegaki was eventually hit by six bullets and collapsed like a leper on a blood-stained beach.

Since then, the Hukou offensive and defensive battle has entered a delicate stage, and Zhongdao Qincun no longer dares to send a single soldier lightly, and Ye Zhao has increased the strength of one regiment to the Shizhongshan position after judging the situation and sizing up the situation. Subsequently, the 106th Division and the 34th Brigade launched a reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance battle that lasted for three days and two nights.

After holding a meeting of the military headquarters, he finally decided to concentrate his forces and launch a strong attack on Madang, in a vain attempt to take Madang directly, thus completely changing the situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Japanese army began to assemble in Yangwan Town, opposite the Madang Fort, and Okamura Ninji seemed to have made a desperate bet, not only did the entire 112th Division sail to Yangwan, but the Hatian detachment, which had been invisible to the dragon, finally appeared, and they appeared in Wangying, and then launched a fierce offensive against the cotton boats across the river.

Located in the Yangtze River channel between Pengze and Wangjiang, the cotton boat is a typical Jiangxinzhou. Compared with Madang Fortress, the cotton boat is the existence of a bridgehead, so He Zhengchuan attached great importance to the arrangement of defense, and specially arranged a regiment defense in Zhoutou and Mianzhou Village. Among them, the 301st Regiment guarded Zhoutou, and the 304th Regiment guarded Mianzhou.

The Botian detachment has always been of great concern to Ouyang Yun, and the reason why he pays special attention to this brigade is because 90 percent of its soldiers are Taiwanese. After the Taiwan Corps, a self-taught soldier on the island of Taiwan, entered the island, many locals who had been tamed by the Japanese began to rebel again, and this has become a disease of the Japanese heart. For the same reason, Ouyang Yun had to take relatively mild measures against the Botian detachment, he was worried that because the excessive casualties of the Botian detachment were introduced to the island of Taiwan, it would bring about a backlash among the local people's emotions, and even some Taiwanese who were originally sympathetic to the student army would change their position because their relatives were killed by the student army.

Huang Hua was in charge of monitoring the information of the Botian detachment, and on the afternoon of the 106th Division's launch of the Hukou offensive, he reported to Ouyang Yun the movements of the Botian detachment.

"Commander-in-chief, the Botian detachment has been found, and they are now in Changling. Commander-in-chief, Lin Haifeng asked for instructions on whether to act in accordance with the 'Shuangcao Plan'. ”

Lin Haifeng is the person in charge of Wangjiang County of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Fox Tong. The so-called "Shuangcao Strategy" is an operational strategy against the Botian detachment that Ouyang Yun personally participated in.

In the past, in the Battle of Hankou, the Potian detachment played a non-negligible role and committed numerous crimes against the Chinese people. Originally, if there was no such thing as the Taiwan Corps, Ouyang Yun could have cut through the mess quickly and treat it as a traitor team. In fact, during its stay in China, the crimes committed by the Hatian detachment against the Chinese people were not weaker than those committed by any Japanese army, and although not all of its officers and men committed many crimes, it was not an exaggeration to shoot them all. Now, considering other factors, Ouyang Yun can't dispose of the Botian detachment at will.

Ouyang Yun was not afraid of attacking Madang on a large number of days, and in his design, the more Japanese troops attacking Madang, the better, because only in this way could the role of Madang Fortress be fully utilized, and only in this way could it create more opportunities for the Xuebing army in Jiangbei to destroy the enemy.

To put it bluntly, in Ouyang Yun's mind, Madang Fortress is a bait, and the troops defending Madang are the preservatives that make this bait effective for a long time. Then, the troops who raided Anqing were the main force to destroy the Japanese army and change the situation of the Hankou campaign.

The name "Shuangcao Ji Lu Zoning" was given by Chen Shichang, and its meaning lies in the fact that the two Cao brothers were in too much of a hurry at the end of the Three Kingdoms. The focus of the plan was to persuade the Taiwanese stalwarts in the Potian detachment to turn against each other so that the brothers would not be tormented. It was Chen Shichang who proposed this plan, and although Ouyang Yun participated in the formulation of this plan, he was actually quite unimpressed in his heart.

In addition to collecting relevant information, the work of the Foreign Affairs Department of Fox Hitomi is also responsible for recording the crimes committed by the Japanese army and traitor troops in the area. And the records of the Fox Pupil Foreign Ministry about the Hatian detachment are all crimes committed against the Chinese. Therefore, Ouyang Yun really had no hope of persuading these pseudo-devils to return to the arms of the people. Of course, for the sake of the Taiwan Corps, it is still necessary to try. So he approved Lin Haifeng's request.
