Chapter 41: The Wolf's Tooth Strikes

Every time a large army goes out to fight, the wolf's teeth must accompany it. Moreover, every time there must be some loud noise, and even when insiders mention the Xuebing Army, they will definitely mention the wolf's teeth, calling it Ouyang Yun's claws.

Wolf Tooth still dispatched a regiment this time, and the leader of the team was still Xiao Yi. This time, it was not Xiao Yi's turn to be dispatched, because he was designated by Ouyang Yun to go to Shanghai to preside over the counterfeit currency war. However, due to fate, because of the accidental discovery of the Japanese army's biochemical troops in Nanjing, and provoked the plague. So, halfway through the journey, they were called back and immediately quarantined. The counterfeit currency war is directly related to the survival of the 57th Army, and it cannot be delayed, so when Xiao Yi was recalled, Ouyang Yun sent Ding Yi to preside. Wolf Tooth is the reserve of middle and low-level officers in the Cadet Army, and when there is a vacancy in some brigade commanders, Ouyang Yun will select people from the Wolf Tooth to fill it, so after some veteran Wolf Tooth members were selected, Ding Yi gradually rose to the position and became the deputy brigade commander of Wolf Tooth. As soon as Ding went to Shanghai, Guo Da had to be in charge of the defense of Guangzhou, so the leader of the northbound this time could only be Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi originally regretted that he could not go to Shanghai, but now he was able to participate in the Battle of Hankow, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Anqing was occupied by the Japanese army after the Battle of Nanjing, and since then it has become the front line of the confrontation between the Japanese army and the Chinese army. Anqing originally had a small airport, but after the Japanese occupation, they made a big construction project and converted it into a large front-line airfield. Anqing Airport has been expanded to accommodate more than 200 fighter planes, and there are four runways capable of flying fighter planes at the same time. The existence of Anqing Airport can be said to have become a decisive factor in the final direction of the Battle of Hankou. The Cadet Army Air Force is not yet capable of maintaining two battlefields at the same time, so Ouyang Yun can only hope for wolf teeth and adopt special attack tactics.

That night, after the combat plan was approved, Xiao Yi took two squadrons with a total of more than 140 wolf-tooth special forces on the road. The battle plan of the wolf's tooth was formulated by Ouyang Yun himself. They will first dive into the east solstice, and then choose the nearest swimming route and swim across at night.

The surface of the Yangtze River below Madang Fortress has now completely become the world of the Japanese army. The patrol boats belonging to the Japanese Yangtze River Fleet cruised on the Yangtze River almost day and night, which made Xiao Yi and his team have to swim at night. Fortunately, the people with wolf teeth have lived in Guangzhou for a long time, and they have practiced water nature very well, and the water surface of the Yangtze River in Jiangxi is not too wide, so this midnight swimming is not a too difficult subject.

The wolf's tooth is the key force to conquer Anqing this time, and the existence of Anqing Airport is the biggest threat to the chariot troops. And as long as those fighters are solved, once the tank troops can cross the river safely, it will inevitably be like entering a no-man's land.

In order to cover the actions of the wolf's teeth, Ye Zhao will make some moves to paralyze the Japanese army at Hukou. As a result, on the morning of June 2, the following scene occurred in the newly established headquarters of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army in Jiujiang Middle School -- just when Nakajima Jingcun had just gotten up and started to wash, the communications staff officer on duty suddenly rushed over and reported to him: "Your Excellency, the people of China are hoarding troops at Hukou and have the intention of attacking our army. ”

Nakajima Kenmura resolutely carried out Okamura Ninji's order, and after occupying Jiujiang, he did not rush to expand the results of the battle to the southwest, but launched a defense on the spot, in anticaution that the student army would take the initiative to attack Jiujiang. Hearing this, he hurriedly washed his face with a towel and said, "Convene a meeting of the officers in the city, our current enemy is the most elite student army in China, and the combat strength of this army is extraordinary, we should pay enough attention to it!" ”

"Hay!" The staff officer on duty saluted, then turned and ran. Ten minutes later, a brigade commander, three wing commanders, thirteen group commanders, and a staff officer in the city gathered in the auditorium of Jiujiang Middle School to wait for Nakajima's instructions.

"The Commander has arrived!" With a young staff officer shouting with a lot of breath, Nakajima Kemura walked into the auditorium with a blank face.

All the officers immediately stood up, looking at their division commander with their waists straight, and many of them had a fanatical look in their eyes.

Nakajima did not take over the post of commander of the 106th Division for a long time, and for a time, these officers were not convinced. Now, however, Nakajima has proven his command skills with his actions. is worthy of being the "Fox of Long Island", and he actually took Jiujiang without blood. And if it occupies Jiujiang, it can directly threaten the flank and even the rear of the Xuebing Army. The 106th Division had fought against the Cadet Army in the Battle of Nanjing under the leadership of the former division commander Junrokuro Matsuura, of course, that time, the 106th Division was defeated very badly, and even now many officers who were in office at that time will be resentful when they think of this, and always think about when they can get back to the field.

Now, because of the wisdom of His Excellency the division commander, this ideal seems to be not difficult to achieve, and how can this not make these officers worship Nakajima.

Nakajima sat down first, then looked at everyone and said, "Sit down!" ”

"Wow!" Everyone sat down in unison.

Nakajima glanced at everyone again, and then asked, "Those of you who have participated in the Battle of Nanjing, please raise your hand!" ”

Almost all of them raised their hands.

Nakajima: "It seems that all of them have participated in the Battle of Nanjing, so they have all fought against the Cadet Army." ”

Yamachigaki stood up, bowed his head and bowed: "Your Excellency, I didn't respect you enough before, I'm sorry!" Then, he raised his head and said in a loud voice, "Your Excellency, please lead us to defeat the Cadet Army." Ouyang Yun is in Pengze, and we hope to be able to capture him alive under your leadership! ”

At the time of the Battle of Nanjing, Yamaikegaki was the brigade commander of the 111th Brigade and was a major general. However, after this battle, because of the disadvantage to the battle of the Cadet Army, the commander of the Qian Division, Junrokuro Matsuura, was directly recalled to his home, and he was also demoted and became a wing commander. The position was demoted, but the rank was not easy to deprive. As a result, Yamaikegaki opened up the first case in the Japanese military circles and served as a wing commander as a major general. This precedent is not glorious, and it is a great shame in the eyes of Yamaikegaku. Therefore, all he thinks about all the time is to fight with the Xuebing Army again, defeat Ouyang Yun, and regain his dignity as an emperor warrior.

Nine out of ten of you here have suffered losses from the Cadet Army and have been reprimanded for this. Yamachigaki took the lead, and the others stood up one after another, and said in unison: "Your Excellency, please lead us to defeat the Cadet Army!" ”

After Nakajima succeeded Matsuura as division commander, the latter's old subordinates were not very convinced. Nakajima used stratagem to capture Jiujiang without blood, and also had the meaning of proving himself to them and demonstrating. Now, seeing that everyone is at home to themselves, the "Fox of Long Island" shows a reserved smile. He waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then resolutely said, "Gentlemen, I have seen your determination. Very good, with the joint efforts of all the gentlemen, our 106th Division will definitely be able to wash away the shame of the defeat in the Battle of Nanjing and rebuild its glory. Mangosteen, bring the sand table up! ”

"Hay!" Combat staff officer Mangkhut Youcheng led a few gendarmes to carry a huge sand table in. When the sand table was put in front of everyone, and when the terrain around Peng Ze was truthfully reflected in front of everyone, several devil officers who knew the goods immediately exclaimed: "Your Excellency, this is the latest combat map!" Your Excellency, did you make it yourself? ”

"Long Island Fox" has the experience of studying in Western Europe, and this sand table is one of the results of this study abroad.

In fact, the Japanese army has been using sand tables for a long time, but this is the first time that such a delicate and accurate size has been presented. It's no wonder that these devils are screaming, as if they have wrestled and picked up ingots.

Nakajima didn't mean to show off, after all, this thing has been popular in the West for a long time, and there is really nothing to boast about. He took the baton from Mangkhut's hand, pointed to the point at the mouth of the lake and said, "Gentlemen, I have summoned you here because the latest information has just come from the front line. The Cadet Army wantonly gathered troops in the area around Hukou, with the intention of taking the initiative to attack. Ladies and gentlemen, you all know Commander Okamura's combat intentions, right? The reason why we want to capture Jiujiang first is to encircle the student army of this department and strive to annihilate it. Ladies and gentlemen, I have already studied your encounter in the Battle of Nanjing in detail, have you ever thought about it, why did you fail in the battle? ”

At the end of the Battle of Nanjing, with the withdrawal of the main force of the Nationalist army, the Japanese army actually occupied an absolute advantage. However, because it wanted to encircle and encircle the Cadet Army, the Japanese 106th Division made a rash attack to block the retreat of the Cadet Army, but was ambushed by the Cadet Army. And it was precisely because the 106th Division was first surrounded by the Scholar Army that the Battle of Shiqiao was triggered, and as a result, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, not to mention the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the Scholar Army.

That battle, for the devil officers present, was a painful memory that could not be looked back. All the devils, including Yamaikegaki fell into painful memories, and for a moment the venue was deserted, and everyone was silent.

Two minutes passed, and Nakajima spoke: "The reason is actually very simple, because you put yourself in the position of the main force from the beginning, and you only think about destroying the enemy, but you don't even know the strength of the enemy. The Cadet Army has emerged and started when it was in North China, but gentlemen, let me ask, who of you has really studied it? Didn't you? Therefore, when you are faced with the sudden outbreak of powerful combat power from the Cadet Army, you will panic! Gentlemen, it's not that I mean to attack you, if you still have the idea that the imperial army is invincible in Asia, then I suggest you don't participate in this battle! Ladies and gentlemen, is there a problem? ”

Nakajima wasn't telling the truth. He did carefully study the reasons for the advance of the Battle of Nanjing and the defeat of the Japanese army, and he came to the conclusion that the key to the fact that the Central China Front suffered a big loss despite gaining strength was that the top leaders did not attach importance to the student army. However, some people still want to encircle and annihilate the Cadet Army to establish a great feat, so don't they just fall into the scheme of the Cadet Army?!
