Chapter 234: Taking Nanchang Again (1)

There are those who react quickly, and those who react slowly, and the more than 10,000 Japanese troops are all on both sides of the river at this time, and a large part of them are in the middle of the river, there are no tall trees around, and it is very difficult to build a pontoon bridge, but in the middle of the deep water, there are some places where cars and cannons can pass, and both sides are still in the water.

The Japanese troops had just landed after crossing the river, and they were in a hurry to dry their wet clothes, and some of them were getting dressed after taking off their clothes, so the banks of the river were in a mess, and there was no formation. The soldiers on guard around did not find that there was an ambush, and the sky plane also reported that there were no Chinese troops around, so the Japanese army was completely relaxed and did not think of an ambush.

An unprepared army, battered and submerged by an overwhelming flood, can imagine what will happen. Nara Kawa Yu reacted okay, and instead of running forward, he turned around and ran back. The Japanese army thought that the river beach was dry, but in fact it was also in the water, and it was only when the water was blocked upstream that it became a riverbed, which is equivalent to saying that the tens of thousands of Japanese troops were all in the river and were washed away by the flood.

Nara Kawa didn't run slowly, but he didn't run far either, maybe he was too old, maybe he found it too late, and with a cry of terror, Nara Kawa was swept down by the flood and swept into the water.

It was only a few minutes, and it was a short time from the discovery of the peak of the water rushing over to the passage of this flood. There wasn't much water in the back, but the Fresh Wind River was back to normal. But the surface of the river suddenly increased to more than 100 meters wide, and all the Japanese troops except for those who were washed away fell into the water, not to mention the embarrassment.

There is no distinction between officers and soldiers, and besides, this is not a war, soldiers can protect officers, and the number of losses of captains, squadron leaders, and squad leaders is the same as soldiers.

But this was not the result, as the order to attack came out, when the flood poured down, the four squadrons that were lying in ambush a kilometer away immediately formed an encirclement state, and rushed out of the woods, barren grasses and tea forests without camouflage, and surrounded and killed the Japanese army.

The fastest speed of a person to run, a normal person can run at most six or seven kilometers an hour, that is still an athlete, and the normal ordinary person is only two or three kilometers at a speed, and this distance is more than twenty minutes away from the well-trained speed of the snow fox. Therefore, Lai Changwen said that this distance cannot be called an ambush, and when it is close, the devils have already arranged their firepower and waited.

However, with this flood, more than 10,000 Japanese organizations were completely gone, there were not many officers, and even the brigade commanders were gone. The chaotic devils got up and couldn't find the guns, the ammunition was everywhere, and the cars were turned over a lot. At this time, they were getting up in a daze and gathering together, gathering on the two shores, and the combat effectiveness could be said to be zero at this time.

In order to get up in the water and swim quickly to the shore, many soldiers abandoned their guns and bullets, and the cars, heavy machine gun vehicles, and infantry guns that were stuck in the water were left unattended.

In the end, the Japanese officers were very responsible, and only the 4th and 5th captains were left who did not die, and hurriedly gave the order to find the brigade commander while gathering the soldiers to check whether there was still a radio station ready to report to the above.

Just when the Japanese army was busy, the soldiers reported that they had finally found the brigade commander, but the chief of staff was not found, and the brigade commander was crushed by the mud and fell unconscious. Before the stabilized Japanese army could react, gunfire and shouts of killing were heard around them, and thousands of Chinese troops rushed towards the Japanese army from all directions. They had bayonets and pistols in their hands, and in the face of the Japanese army who had no ability to fight back, the four brigades of the second detachment of the Snow Fox launched a merciless massacre.

These days of pursuit, Snow Fox held his breath in his heart, and the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese Nara detachment along the way made the eyes of the Snow Fox officers and soldiers bloodshot. The Chinese people, men and women, young and old, were all killed by the Japanese army, and every village and town was slaughtered and burned. Killing the Japanese could no longer erase the resentment in their hearts.

There was only one thought in everyone's hearts, and it was not enough to quench the hatred by making them cramp and peel them and lighting the sky lanterns. With such a bitter hatred, you can imagine what it is like to fight. Half of the Japanese soldiers didn't even have time to put their guns, so they collided with the second detachment of Snow Fox.

The sound of killing shook the sky and blood splashed, and the snow fox's 44 formation did not play a role at this time, but separated the bayonet and pistol, and shot at the Japanese army in the middle of the river with the pistol, and the bayonet surrounded the Japanese army who climbed up on the bank, this kind of slaughtering operation turned the battlefield into a slaughterhouse.

It is useless to surrender, Snow Fox does not want to be taken prisoner, and the Japanese army can only repay the blood debt owed to the Chinese with blood and lives. It is useless to apologize and confess, it is not okay to kneel and kowtow, and it is not okay to commit suicide, because it is difficult to eliminate the hatred of these soldiers.

The Japanese troops of the Nara detachment of the 13th Brigade understood what the devil was. The devils who are not dead finally find out from the armbands that they are the Snow Fox Corps that frightened the Japanese army, but it was too late.

More than 10,000 Japanese troops were washed away by the flood, and not many died, because it was not a naturally occurring flood, and the water was very clean, and there were no rocks and trees, and it was not turbid, so there were not many deaths.

And then there is a flood that is not strong enough, and it can't wash people out too far, after all, the Xinfeng River is not a big river of the Yangtze River. A few thousand people could not build a dam too high in a short time, so the Japanese army was scattered, lost their weapons and was chaotic, and there were not many casualties, but they completely lost the ability to fight back.

The biggest feature of the snow fox looks like a melee hand-to-hand fight with bayonets, but in fact it is not a bayonet, having a pistol is simply killing, and many soldiers who climbed on the shore were killed without understanding what was going on, forming a one-sided massacre.

From the sunset to the west, until nightfall, with the Xinfeng River Luojiadu as the center, within a radius of 20 miles, more than 5,000 people surrounded and annihilated 10,000 Japanese troops for more than four hours.

The battle did not cease until the four brigades converged in the middle and faced each other across the riverbank. The four captains ordered at the same time to search downstream in small teams, looking for devils to eliminate, and strive to kill all of them if there was no one left.

It lasted until dawn, because it was dark and late at night, and it was late for dawn, and in one day and one night, the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Devil disappeared, and Okamura Ninji didn't even receive the news.

Xue Ru, who was in Nanning, received a report that the second detachment had completely annihilated the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, including Major General Naragawa Yu, and other personnel were being confirmed. According to preliminary statistics, about 2,000 of the more than 11,000 people who escaped were missing, and more than 9,000 were annihilated.

Maybe the devils were killed and injured more, after all, many were washed away by the flood, and the corpses could not be determined. The second detachment had already assembled at Luojiadu at the Xinfeng River, preparing to return to Nanchang to deal with the 17th Mixed Brigade.

"Report" Major General Yoshimoto Sadaji, chief of staff, came in: "Your Excellency, the 13th Mixed Brigade was ambushed by the Snow Fox Detachment at the Shinfeng River between Manzai and Kamipiao, and the whole army was annihilated, and the Naragawa Yutama was shattered. ”

Okamura stood up and asked a little silently, "Why didn't you report it?" ”

Yoshimoto Sadaji told him what he had learned, and although it was not too detailed, there were reports of Japanese soldiers who had fled back, and he could still know the news. After Yoshimoto Sadaji finished speaking, he asked, "Commander, what should we do?" Snow Fox returns? ”

Okamura Ningji sat down, he couldn't understand for a while, the attack on Changsha was not smooth, Xue Yue's blocking was also very effective, the two sides were constantly attacked, and the Japanese army suffered a lot of casualties, and failed to break through the last line of defense. Some of the imperial army was under-strengthened, and it seemed that the number of troops was too small, and the intensity of the attack was not great. Originally, I hoped that the Nara detachment would change the tide of the war, but it failed.

Snow Fox, Snow Fox again, the nemesis of the Great Japanese Imperial Army. Aren't they in Nanning? Why did you suddenly appear in Nanchang?

"Secret Service stupid." Okamura Ninji scolded fiercely: "Yaga, a bunch of stupid and stupid pigs. ”

He calmed down and said: "The 106th, 6th, and 33rd divisions were ordered to attack with all their might, and the 3rd Aviation Division was ordered to fully cooperate to break through the defense line of the Chinese Army and capture Changsha." ”

Yoshimoto Sadaji said: "Your Excellency Commander, we have suffered a lot of losses like this, I'm afraid it will ......"

Okamura Ningji was a little angry: "It's just a brigade, the imperial army is not without the ability to fight, and it will attack with all its might, I will see what Xue Yue uses to block." The 101st and 18th Divisions were ordered to attack in the direction of Hunan and assist in the capture of Changsha. ”

Okamura Ninji was already desperate, and he couldn't admit defeat. It is also true that when more than 100,000 Japanese troops attacked, only one brigade was wiped out, and it would not affect the Japanese attack. I feel that some can't vent. Angrily shouted: "Order the 7th Tank Division to rush forward and smash the defensive ring with armor." ”

"Hi" Sadaji Yoshimoto no longer dared to speak. The commander is not wrong in this way, after all, the loss is only more than 10,000 people, there are two divisions, a brigade, a tank division, plus the planes are not yet the victory of the Chinese army, if Changsha is captured, the losses can be ignored.

As soon as the Japanese army intensified its attack, Xue Yue's side immediately felt it, and all the armies reported that the Japanese army concentrated its strength at the wing level, with the brigade as the shock unit, the heavy artillery was in the sky, and the planes were like locusts, launching an attack on the defense line of the national army.

Lu Han of the First Group Army, Luo Zhuoying of the 19th Group Army, Guan Zhengwei of the 15th Group Army, and Shang Zhen of the 20th Group Army all reported that their positions had been broken through. Seeing the advance of the Japanese army, the national army could not stop the huge casualties, and at the same time, the Japanese army continued to use poison gas bombs, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties.

In the Changsha Theater Headquarters, Xue Yue frowned. Why did the Japanese suddenly increase their offensive efforts? If this continues, Changsha may not be able to keep it, and its own army will also be consumed.

"Report" Chief of Staff came over: "Electrified order." ”

Xue Yue took it and looked at it and said: "Report to Commander Chen, Changsha is not without the strength of a battle, and the Japanese army is also the end of the crossbow, as long as you hold on, you can win, I don't agree to give up Changsha." ”

"Yes," the chief of staff turned to leave. Wu Yizhi said: "If you lose in the end, will you blame the commission? ”

Xue Yue snorted, the telegram just now was a telegram from Chairman Jiang of the Military Commission, according to the situation in the Ninth War Zone, the loss would be too great if it continued to fight. It was agreed to withdraw from Changsha, and the troops retreated westward, gradually resisting the Japanese army, and avoiding the annihilation of the troops in the 9th theater.

Xue Yue thought that this was probably the local armed forces again, and they didn't want to fight anymore. Xue Ru controls Guangxi, and Li and Bai can't help but be anxious. The First Army was a unit in Yunnan, and once Xue Ru took control of Guangxi, he could move westward to control Yunnan.

It's not that others can't see Lao Jiang's methods, and he clearly gave Xue Ru the power to reduce power, but the two detachments have become two divisions, but they are still the original people of Snow Fox, so isn't Xue Ru more powerful? Besides, who doesn't know that Liu Yuanshan and Lai Changwen are the most trusted people by Xue Ru, if the troops are consumed in Changsha, what power do they have to control their own territory?

Xue Yue didn't want to stop, although this was a commission order, but Xue Yue understood, so he didn't agree. Orders were given to the armies to resist to the end and not to retreat, and those who retreated were subject to military law. Hearing Wu Yizhi's words, he knew that he cared about himself, so he said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on." Haven't heard from Xue Ru yet? ”

Wu Yizhi shook his head, and was about to say no, when the staff officer ran over: "Commander, Director Xue of Nanning sent a telegram." Xue Yue stretched out his hand to take it, the staff officer changed really fast, Xue Ru had just been promoted to the director of the Guangxi camp, and he became Director Xue. Xue Yue had a smile on his face and handed the telegram to Wu Yizhi. Wu Yizhi took a look and said happily: "She really didn't disappoint you, she did it." ”

Xue Yue said with a dissatisfied face: "Even I am hiding it, it's really not like words, I must discipline her when I see her." He said with a smile on his face. Wu Yizhi said: "This can't be blamed on her, the secrecy of the government is too poor, you see ......." ”

Xue Yue said: "Order the 19th Group Army to abandon the frontal position, immediately attack from both sides of the Japanese army, draw out the 32nd Army to move in the direction of Nanchang, and cooperate with the Snow Fox operation, and the 15th Group Army will transfer the 79th Army to Nanchang to assist the Snow Fox operation." You personally rushed to Fuzhou to coordinate the command. Other units launched a counteroffensive against the Japanese army, and at the same time ordered the 30th Army on the Changsha side to enter the Liuyang defense line to block the Japanese army. ”

Wu Yizhi immediately agreed, he understood that the 30th Group Army of Changsha was a general reserve, in order to prevent a sneak attack by the Japanese army. Now that the 13th Mixed Brigade has been annihilated, what are you worried about, so the whole army rushed to Fuzhou and coordinated the 32nd Army and the 79th Army to jointly unite with the second detachment of Snow Fox to launch a counteroffensive against Nanchang. If Nanchang is recaptured, with Okamura Ninji's troops, he will definitely not dare to attack Changsha, and the attack will be a failure.

In Fuzhou County, Wu Yizhi's car had just arrived, and it didn't take long for Song Kentang of the 32nd Army and Xia Zhongchu of the 79th Army to arrive. Seeing that Wu Yizhi arrived first, the two lieutenant generals raised their hands and saluted: "Chief of Staff Wu is so fast." ”

Wu Yizhi was only the chief of staff of the major general, and hurriedly raised his hand to salute back: "I just arrived, how are you?" ”

Song Kentang said: "The casualties of the troops are very large, and there are still half of the troops, can only we do it?" ”

Wu Yizhi said: "I don't know, the second detachment of Snow Fox, that is, the 77th Division, has not yet arrived, and I haven't seen Commander Lai, so I don't know." ”

The two army commanders also had nothing to say, and this time it was Snow Fox's plan again. The last time he captured Nanchang, can the devil be defenseless this time? How can you still attack like this? What a fox!
