Dazhou Fort, it was already night, and the devils on the opposite side had never made any further moves, Zhang Dali couldn't help but suspect that these devils were there to attract their attention, so as to contain a certain amount of their own strength for the Japanese army in southwest Qiong. Based on this understanding, Zhang Dali did not panic, although the Japanese army's move could involve their own troops, but on the contrary, why were they not involved by their own troops? Zhang Dali's command style has a lot in common with the single male and Ouyang Yun, and after thinking about this link, he arranged the duty matters, and then took the lead and fell asleep.

Unlike Zhang Dali's calmness, his opponent Arima Zhengwen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at the moment. Repeated negotiations with Honda Inahui were fruitless, and he couldn't bear to move the headquarters to the "Dragon Horse". But this can't solve the problem, this battle still has to be fought, he paced back and forth in the captain's room of the "Longxiang", took off his military hat from time to time and scratched his head, and after a few hours, he actually turned his originally thick hair into a mountain forest after a mountain fire.

The Wanning area actually fell into a long state of confrontation, and the landing devils actually stood still after gaining a place to stand, which made Ouyang Yun very strange because of this unconventional combat method. "What are these devils doing?" He couldn't think of the result, and then he couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the deciphered enemy telegram sent by Huang Ye's copy.

Handing the message to Chen Shichang, he said with a smile on his face: "Grandma, I didn't expect that this time my luck would be so good?!" ”

These words were a bit inexplicable, and Chen Shichang was at a loss when he heard it. Thinking that something could be seen from deciphering the enemy's telegram, and then, after reading the telegram, he found that the most valuable information on it was the detection of the Japanese Marine Corps in Wanning, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Commander-in-chief, what luck is it?" ”

Ouyang Yun had an irrepressible smile on his face, and he pointed to the four words "Osaka Division" on it and said, "Have you heard of the Osaka Division?" The division has a nickname, called the 'First Nest of Waste Divisions', hehe, this time the Fifth Army is blessed. ”

"'The First Litter Division'?" Chen Shichang was surprised.

Ouyang Yun continued to laugh, he remembered the various legends about the Osaka Division that he had seen on the Internet in that time and space, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. "I was a little worried, but now I have to give some advice to the solo male," he said. If it is executed well, perhaps we can win this battle at a relatively small cost. Well, let the brothers eat in advance, and immediately after eating, we will go to Qiongzhong. ”

Because the Dongshanling headquarters was bombed and thought that the target was exposed, Chen Shichang once actively persuaded Ouyang Yun to go to Qiongzhong, but now, as the fighting in the southeast of Qiongzhong stopped, he felt that it was safer to stay here, so he politely objected.

Opposition to nature is invalid. After Ouyang Yun made a phone call to the single male, the team began to set off.

At this time, the offensive and defensive battle of Changjiang was nearing its end.

When the main force of a wing of the Japanese army drove to the battlefield, under Guo Yucheng's strict order, the surviving officers and soldiers of the Changjiang Self-Defense Force escorted hundreds of old and weak women and children to evacuate Changjiang. At this time, there was only one platoon left in the regular cadet army of a battalion, and the battlefield commander was changed from a battalion commander to a deputy company commander. The deputy company commander stood in front of Guo Yucheng at this time, he saluted Guo Yucheng with some difficulty with his wounded right hand, and said in a deep voice: "Director Guo, please rest assured, as long as we still have someone here, the little devil will not want to step into Changjiang." ”

Guo Yucheng saluted all the left-behind soldiers, and then patted the deputy company commander on the left shoulder and said, "Brothers, cherish!" ”

Outside the west gate of Changjiang, Ishii Fukawa was complaining about his misdeeds to Komuro's top boss, Kazuo Hiromura: "Your Excellency, Komuro Shaosa is really too disagreeable, our department is here to fight with the Shina people, but what are they doing?" A lot of talk was said to outflank the back of the people of China, but after such a long time, they never appeared on the battlefield......"

At the beginning, they thought that Changjiang's defense was weak, and they followed behind the Ishii Brigade to show their majesty, but as soon as the two sides started fighting, they immediately fell into a bear. As the Self-Defense Forces outside the castle were routed by the Japanese air force, Komuro proposed to Ishii at the request of his subordinates to outflank the north gate of the Changjiang River in order to block the retreat of the Shina Army.

The defensive power embodied in Changjiang City at the beginning was not very strong, and the regular army of a battalion was not all laid out at one time, and in the eyes of Shi Jing, it was naturally a matter of defeating it in seconds.

Whether Ishii admits it or not, although Komuro has almost no merit, he is much better than Ishii in his judgment of danger.

The Komuro Brigade didn't want to fight at all, but the Ishii Brigade wanted to make more achievements. The two sides hit it off as soon as they got what they needed, so the Ishii Brigade took on the frontal offensive operation, and the Komuro Brigade was responsible for outflanking it.

At the beginning, because there were fighters providing fire cover from the air, the defenders' firepower was completely suppressed, so the attack of Ishii's brigade was quite smooth, and only a dozen people died before taking the outer positions. As the distance between the two sides narrowed, for fear of accidental injury, Japanese fighters flew away from the Changjiang battlefield one after another. One fighter plane after another left one after another, and the head of Changjiang City and the city were already in flames, the morale of the devils of the Ishii Brigade was high, under the command of Ishii, a squadron of devils rushed to the south city gate, and behind them, it was the main force of the Ishii Brigade that was slowly following up.

Surrounded by adjutants and staff officers, Ishii walked behind the most, he clenched the command knife in his left hand, pointed at Changjiang Castle with his right hand, and repeatedly considered the draft of the telegram to be reported to Sawada Shigeru in his heart, and finally thought that it was more courageous to write it like this: Changjiang, our Ishii brigade has taken it.

Ishii had clearly misestimated the situation, or perhaps he was not yet familiar with the combat methods of the Cadet Army. When the vanguard squadron was still more than 30 meters away from the south gate, more than 100 gun barrels poked their heads out of the burning fireworks at the head of the city, and then shouted "hit"! The gunfire characteristic of the sick-going general-purpose machine gun rang out, and the devil who rushed to the front fell in a large area.

It was only then that the battle officially began.

Changjiang, which Ishii thought would be able to handle in minutes, suddenly burst out with huge energy. Even though the Japanese air force continued to provide fire support, the firepower at the head of the castle showed no signs of weakening due to the continuous addition of Self-Defense Forces.

With the vanguard squadron almost completely annihilated, and the main force suppressed at a distance of about two hundred meters from the city gate, Ishii realized that the Komuro brigade, which was extremely cowardly when landing, would suddenly become brave, because they were not really carrying out the so-called outflanking blockade at all, they were evading the battle!

Kazuo Hiromura listened to Ishii's confession while seriously counting the remnants of Ishii's brigade. When he found that Ishii's brigade had been damaged by more than half, he first comforted Ishii and said that he would definitely punish the Komuro brigade, and then he asked Ishii to lead the team down to rest, and then called his four captains together.

As soon as Ishii and his men retreated, a captain named Kimuraya asked Hiromura, "Your Excellency, why did you let them go down?" Do you want our men to fight in their place? ”

Hongcun glared at him and didn't say anything, and only after the other captains arrived did he say: "Gentlemen, I'm glad that I don't have to go to the infirmary to be on duty this time after receiving the combat mission, thank you!" After speaking, he actually bowed solemnly to everyone. The reaction of several captains was to laugh dumbly, and then quickly avoid or bow.

There is a source for this sentence in Hongcun. When the Osaka Division was still in the Chinese mainland battlefield, it once received a combat mission, and the troops on this side had not yet been deployed, and the situation came. The infirmaries of the various wings were overcrowded, and the devils who came to see patients under various names and asked for sick notes almost broke through the doors of the infirmary. Hongcun had just been transferred at that time, and when he saw this, he personally sat in the infirmary, wanting to use his official authority to make those guys who pretended to be sick retreat. However, there was still an endless stream of patients, and in the end, the start date of the unit was delayed by three days. And when they arrived at the battlefield three days later, the battle was over.

It was only after this incident that Hiromura saw the true face of the Osaka Division, and his ambition turned into bitterness.

Hongcun waved his hand, waited for them to look at him, and then said: "You have also seen the situation on the battlefield, the Shijing brigade has lost more than half of its troops, and according to the information we have in advance, the defenders of Changjiang are only about one regiment, that is to say, there are not many defenders in Changjiang City now-this is our opportunity!" Now that we're on the battlefield, let's fight a good fight for those who laugh at us. I have ordered the troops to shout more slogans such as 'surrender their guns and not kill' and 'Sino-Japanese friendship' when attacking...... Kimura, Changjiang is the first large city of China that we attack, and the troops will march in depth next, if the marines are finished, then in the next more brutal battle, can your troops charge at the front? ”

Hongcun's words were very bitter. I don't know if Lu Dao was moved by his sincerity, several captains seriously discussed the situation, and they all felt that this was indeed a good time for them to wash away the "world's first wrecked division", so they showed unprecedented sincerity and unity, and unanimously said that they would resolutely carry out the orders of the wing commander.

The student soldiers who stayed behind in Changjiang City had already had the consciousness of death. Under the command of the deputy company commander named Huang Jiaqing, they collected all the unused guns and ammunition of their fallen comrades, shared the only cigarettes left on their bodies with each other, and quietly waited for the final moment to come.
