readx;? From Jing County through Huizhou Prefecture to Jingdezhen, there is basically no decent road to take, and now Wang Haitao's troops have armored vehicles, tanks, and dozens of heavy artillery and anti-aircraft guns, and these heavy weapons cannot march quickly on this kind of mountain trail. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but there is a treasure of storage rings, and these are no longer a problem.

Wang Haitao asked the guard regiment to take up the task of guarding the warehouse, and then ordered all kinds of heavy weapons to be parked in the warehouse area. The first thing to put into the storage ring were dozens of heavy guns, then tanks and heavy armored vehicles, and finally anti-aircraft guns. After putting all these into the storage ring and filling the remaining space with various shells, Wang Haitao found that there were still a lot of things that could not be put in.

Twenty-two light armored vehicles, twenty armored trucks, and more than eighty large trucks, none of which could fit into the storage ring. Fortunately, although the mountain road is difficult to walk, these vehicles can pass through it with simple repairs. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Wang Haitao officially set out with two brigades of the 93rd Division and a cadre directly under the army. Soldiers of the Panzer Regiment and Heavy Artillery Regiment were also moved on foot, and all the baggage and ammunition stored in the warehouses were loaded by trucks.

The whole army was still led by the fighters of the reconnaissance regiment as the pioneer, and then by the light armored convoy of the 568th Regiment of the 277th Brigade as the escort, followed by the truck convoy. The 278th Brigade is the Chinese army, and the division headquarters also moves with the 278th Brigade, followed by the 569th Regiment and armored trucks, and the guard regiment is the rear of the whole division. A division stretched out more than ten miles.

The task of the reconnaissance regiment is the most formidable, they not only have to choose the road, but also to investigate the enemy's situation and clear the Japanese outposts, while the 568th Regiment has to repair the road to ensure that the convoy behind it can pass smoothly. Most of the roads were simple roads in the mountains, and although it was difficult to walk, there were not many Japanese troops.

From Jing County to Huizhou Mansion is the sphere of influence of the New Fourth Army, not only do they not have to worry about encountering the Japanese army, but also there are small detachments of the New Fourth Army to guide the road and help repair the road, so Wang Haitao and they did not walk slowly, and it only took four days to get out of the mountainous area. On the fifth day, the troops entered Jiangxi Province, and the small detachments of the New Fourth Army also stopped.

When the troops advanced to Wuyuan County, they were only less than 200 kilometers away from Jingdezhen. In Wuyuan County, the reconnaissance regiment has discovered the Japanese troops, and the number is the 24th Division of the Japanese Army. Wang Haitao ordered the advance to be stopped, the radio was turned on, and a telegram was sent to Commander Gu of the Third War Zone, reporting his position and the battle situation on the front line.

Soon Commander Gu's reply arrived, it turned out that in the past few days, Jingdezhen had been lost, and the Japanese army was divided into two, the 24th Division was advancing towards Jiujiang, while the 22nd Division was attacking and advancing in the direction of Nanchang. The task of the Third Theater is to ensure that Nanchang is not lost, so the main forces of the Third Theater are all deployed near Poyang Lake and Nanchang, and Jiujiang is relatively weak.

At present, only one 86th Army is stationed in Jiujiang, and the army commander He Zhizhong put the 103rd Division in Cailing Town to defend it in danger, and the other 121st Division was stationed in Jiujiang City. The 86th Army is a Guizhou army, and it is not very strong in terms of weapons and equipment or combat effectiveness, so General Gu Zhutong asked Wang Haitao to directly reinforce Jiujiang City.

With this telegram, Wang Haitao has basically figured out the movements and current form of the Japanese army. So Wang Haitao immediately gave an order to Tang Xiaoshan of the reconnaissance group, asking Tang Xiaoshan to find out the situation of the Japanese army in Jingdezhen as soon as possible, and whether there was a road to bypass Jingdezhen and go directly to Jiujiang. After giving the reconnaissance regiment the task, Wang Haitao asked the whole army to prepare for battle, and when there was really no way, Wang Haitao had to command the troops to capture Jingdezhen as soon as possible, and then reinforce Jiujiang City.

It took nearly a day for the reconnaissance group to find out the situation in Jingdezhen, from here to Jiujiang, Jingdezhen is a necessary place, and it is impossible to detour, but the Japanese army only left an infantry squadron and a baggage squadron in Jingdezhen, and it is obvious that the Japanese army is using Jingdezhen as a forward supply base.

After learning of this situation, Wang Haitao decided to storm Jingdezhen. From Wuyuan County to Jingdezhen is basically a big road, so Wang Haitao found a place to take out the equipment of the armored regiment from the storage ring, and in order to prevent the air attack of the Japanese aircraft, Wang Haitao also took out the 30 anti-aircraft guns of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion.

With the armored regiment taking the lead, and then using the 568th regiment to carry out the infantry and tan coordinated battle, Wang Haitao believed that the Japanese troops in Jingdezhen would not be able to stop him at all. Wu Jianzhou, chief of staff and commander of the armored regiment, became the operational commander of the attack on Jingdezhen. Wang Haitao led a large force to support the armored regiment.

The armored regiment could advance up to 40 kilometers per hour on the road, while the 568th Regiment was left to follow in armored trucks, so it took only four hours for the armored regiment and the 568th Regiment to reach Zhentou Town, which was only five kilometers away from Jingdezhen, in the evening. Several Japanese convoys and checkpoints encountered along the way were easily wiped out by the armored regiment.

The armored regiment in Zhentou Town stopped for a while, replenished fuel, and gave the fighters a breather. Soon Wu Jianzhou arranged a combat mission, more than a dozen heavy tanks as the vanguard, full assault on the city wall of Jingdezhen, light tanks behind the heavy tanks, with tank guns and heavy machine guns to suppress the fire points of the Japanese counterattack, armored vehicles to protect the tanks from attack, and the soldiers of the 568th Regiment followed the armored vehicles to move, after the combat vehicles broke through the city wall, responsible for clearing the remaining Japanese troops in the city.

After arranging the task, Wu Jianzhou emphasized another point, this time the battle is a fast word, to quickly capture Jingdezhen with lightning speed, and it is necessary to take Jingdezhen before the arrival of the large army of the military seat. After the order was given, the departments quickly took action. First of all, more than a dozen heavy tanks of the heavy tank battalion, led by the battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Zhiming, set off.

It was followed by the light tank battalion, and finally the armored vehicles of the tank battalion and the fighters of the 568th regiment. The armored regiment arrived in less than twenty minutes on the five-kilometer road, and when the heavy tanks were only two kilometers away from the city walls, the Japanese army reacted, began to close the city gates, and made an action to meet the battle.

Before the Japanese troops could arrive, the first few tanks opened fire, and the shells flew straight towards the city, causing a cloud of gunpowder smoke and fire to explode on the city, and naturally there were Japanese soldiers who were blown into the air. At this time, the Japanese troops on the city also began to return fire, but the bullets and grenades hit the tank and could not bring the slightest damage to the heavy tank.

Soon the heavy tanks were attacking under the city walls, and the two wooden gates at the gate were similar to papier-mâché for such a heavy tank, and the tanks used only three shells to reduce the gate to pieces. The heavy tanks rushed into Jingdezhen without much effort, and as soon as they rushed in, the Japanese army built barricades with various kinds of timber and lit a fire with oil on the barricades.

Tanks can not be afraid of attack, but they still dare not ignore the fierce fire. However, the tank had its own way of dealing with the fire, and the several tank vehicles in front of it directly shelled the fire, and with only a few cannons, the fire that was used as a roadblock was blown up, and the fire naturally decreased. When the armored vehicles behind and the fighters of the 568th Regiment rushed to the city gate, the fire was basically gone, and the tanks and armored vehicles could advance smoothly.

Except for the dead and seriously wounded, the rest of the Japanese troops guarding the city fled out of the city when they were blocking the tanks by the fire, and the tanks and armored vehicles in the city were of little use, and they all relied on the soldiers of the 568th Regiment to clear out the remnants of the enemy. When the soldiers of the 568th Regiment searched for the remnants of the enemy, they could see from time to time innocent civilians killed by the Japanese army, as well as women killed by the Japanese army after raping and committing adultery. This made the soldiers gnash their teeth with hatred.

When they searched the Japanese headquarters, the soldiers found dozens of women who were being held, ranging from girls of 12 or 3 years old to women of 30 and 40 years old, all of whom were unclothed, and several women were even unarmed. The soldiers hurriedly took off their uniforms and let the women put them on. When these women saw the soldiers of the 568th Regiment, they all wept bitterly.

It was midnight when Wang Haitao led the main force to Jingdezhen, and the soldiers were also very tired, but fortunately, the 568th Regiment had already found a place to be stationed, and these soldiers could rest in the garrison after entering the city. Li Chunshan, the commander of the 568th Regiment, tearfully reported to Wang Haitao about the bestiality of the Japanese army in Jingdezhen, and Wang Haitao was also angry, and his two fists clenched with a click.

After resting for most of the night, the reconnaissance group came with information that the 24th Division of the Japanese Army had captured Cailing Town and was now marching towards Jiujiang City. Judging from the current situation, the Japanese army will soon capture Jiujiang, thus opening the gateway to Wuhan.

With this situation, Wang Haitao no longer stopped in Jingdezhen, but asked the 278th Brigade to leave a battalion to guard here, and the rest of the troops to support Jiujiang City at full speed. The 93rd Division set out again with the whole army, and this time because of the urgency of the military situation, Wang Haitao mobilized all the mobile forces, and the armored regiment was still the vanguard of the whole army, and the 277th Brigade and armored trucks set off at the same time as the armored regiment, striving to rush to Jiujiang City in the shortest possible time.

He led the 278th Brigade and the logistics unit to follow up with trucks, but the guard regiment was still broken. The anti-aircraft artillery battalion was also divided into two parts, of which fifteen anti-aircraft guns followed the anti-aircraft regiment for air defense, and the other fifteen were assigned anti-aircraft duties in their own ranks. Jingdezhen is more than 200 kilometers away from Jiujiang City, and it will take a day's time for the mobile troops to arrive in Jiujiang City, and Wang Haitao's troops will not be able to catch up in two days.

At seven o'clock in the evening of the day of departure, the armored regiment and the 277th Brigade finally arrived at Wushan Town, five kilometers away from Hukou County, Jiujiang City, for a whole day. Now that Hukou County has been occupied by the Japanese army, the headquarters of the 24th Division is located in Hukou County, and at the same time, there are infantry of a brigade and regiment of the Japanese army, a cavalry brigade, a baggage unit, and an engineer wing, and other units in Hukou County, and it is estimated that there are about 8,000 Japanese troops. This is no longer something that can be captured by an armored regiment and a 277th brigade alone.
