Section 49 Gao'an is lost

Because the direction of the devil's attack is the first line of Huibu, so their expressions are also a little lighter, and now if the devils attack in the direction of Xiangfuguan and Dacheng this time, I'm afraid they will have a headache, after all, once the friendly forces of the first group army can't hold Gao'an, they will face the devil's attack again, so that although they are not afraid of fighting, they are disturbed at the critical moment of reorganization, and the formation time of the troops will definitely be greatly delayed. And if they can't hold the outer defense line, they will inevitably let the devils in to fight, so that the autumn and winter planting in various places will not be able to be carried out, and they will not be able to grow food. In this way, a series of things will be affected.

In fact, they didn't know that the reason why the Japanese army launched an offensive at this time was also influenced by the European battlefield. As early as half a month earlier, Germany had invaded Poland and five days later routed the Polish defenders and forced the Polish government to evacuate the capital Warsaw. However, after two years of fighting, the current situation of the Japanese army is not good. Although they occupy a large area of East China, they are gradually gaining a foothold in Central China. But China is too big, and compared to Japan, a small island country, China, which has a vast land and vast resources, is like a sea without borders.

Although the Japanese army occupies a large area of land, but the millions of troops can only occupy some military important places and urgent places, for villages and towns and other places, there is nothing to be done, the guerrillas have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, making the Japanese army miserable, in this case, they can only strengthen their control over the area by recruiting a large number of Han Chinese troops to form a puppet army. But these puppet armies are okay to fight guerrillas, and using them against the elite main force of the national army is really an egg hitting a stone, and even the 106th Division and the 101st Division have almost been wiped out several times before and after, and the puppet army units whose combat effectiveness is not known to be a few grades lower are naturally even more difficult to get on the table. In the current situation, among the Japanese troops invading China, only the 11th Army can be regarded as a unit used by the Japanese army for mobile operations, but after several large-scale battles before and after, this army is already a little weak.

However, the emaciated camels were bigger than the horses, and the sharp artillery fire of the Japanese army and the support of the aircraft at any time made them enough to compete with the most elite troops of the national army.

In the evening, news came from the military headquarters of Wanzai that the Japanese 106th Division had conquered Huibu and was currently dividing its troops to attack westward, and sending a large number of troops to attack the first line of Gao'an and Xiangfuguan. Although in terms of strength, with the position of the 106th Division in the 11th Army, it is not very realistic to take the lead in the attack, but this kind of thing is a war, which is false and real, and who can guarantee that the devil will not go the other way?

A large battle map was hung in the lobby, and everyone and the stone stayed here to discuss the battle situation. Today's independent regiment, except for the cavalry battalion still in the Guanshan area, all other units have been assembled and ready to deal with the upcoming battle. In this case, everything in the army is simple, the homeless people who were recruited a few days ago and the bandits and bandits who have been captured these days have all been incorporated into the supplementary battalion for training, and there are iron-blooded battalions like Liu Taiping and Wu Tou, who are attached to the iron-blooded battalion, and I don't think those people dare to make any mistakes!

Fortunately, everything in Yifeng is now on the right track, although the devil may come over soon, and all the previous efforts have come to naught, but before the devil enters Yifeng, at least the operation here is much better than that of other counties, and the spirit of the military and civilians is much warmer than in other places.

The people of the independent regiment were annoyed when they thought of this, speaking of which, Yifeng was really aggrieved, whether the new 106th Division was going west or south, Yifeng was blocking their way forward. It's not that they're afraid of the 106th Division, they just want to have more time to recover, judging from Yifeng's current situation, no more than a year, this place can change a lot, and within half a year, those newly added people will be able to enrich the troops, think about the spectacular scene of their independent regiment full of 4,000 combat troops, they are more and more annoyed by the Japanese attack at this time, and they are even more indignant about their defense area, and every time the most difficult bone is handed over to their regiment, which is also too bullying.

The mentality of the stone is relatively peaceful, I don't know if it has always been like this, so that he has long been used to it, he just put all his mind on the battle situation, waiting for the battle order at any time, so that he can join the battlefield in the shortest time, and use the sharpest attack to kill the weakest place of the devil to give a fatal blow to the place.

With the passage of time, the situation in Yifeng, Shanggao, Wanzai and other places became more and more tense, and the Japanese army that advanced westward needless to say, the 184th Division was defeated all the way after losing Huibu, and Yinshan, Luofang and other places were lost all the way. The Japanese troops going south also advanced all the way south along the big city, and they were soon able to kill Xiangfuguan. A day later, the Japanese captured Xiangfuguan, and a few months earlier the Gao'an defense line that had been expanded by the officers and soldiers of the 74th Army with countless blood and lives was crushed, and the 32nd Army retreated to the city of Gao'an. In the case of the successive losses of Xiangfuguan and Chazishan and other places, how long can Gao'an, a county town that has almost become a ruin, withstand the Japanese army? Especially in the case of the loss of the Chazishan Heights, the Japanese army can give full play to the advantages of artillery fire to the greatest extent, and it will not be long before there is no scum left in Gao'an.

Perhaps because of the unique identity of the independent regiment, it is equivalent to another division under the jurisdiction of the 74th Army, so the military newspaper on the front line will send a copy to the military department as soon as possible. This kind of special treatment, and the detailed information on the front line, made Shi couldn't help but sigh greatly, really standing tall and looking far, in the past, the war could only rely on guessing, but now with this information, you can more accurately judge the situation on the front line, and better prepare accordingly. However, the more he learned, the more distressed he became, and the continuous defeat of the various units on the front made him wonder if the Japanese army in front of him was still the 106th Division?

It's no wonder that he thinks so, for this Japanese army that has suffered several defeats under them, the stone does not have too prominent combat ability in his impression, which has been clearly shown in Gao'an's several tug-of-wars, but now it seems that this little devil army seems to be a little unstoppable, after being divided into two, the 184th Division and the 58th Army and other units that can still fight continue to retreat, and a division can suppress the national army units with several armies in Gao'an and Xiushui. Is this really the one that was almost wiped out by them?

On the evening of the 18th, bad news came one after another. First of all, the 58th Army and the 60th Army, which were still entangled with the Japanese army on the front line of Huibu Luofang, retreated. In the process of the melee, the Japanese army divided its troops and advanced, there was a situation of encircling and annihilating them, in the case that the three battlefields were controlled by the Japanese army, these two friendly troops did not dare to risk the annihilation of the whole army, and withdrew to the Yifeng line, of which the 60th Army was divided into two parts, one part withdrew to the area of Shimenkeng, and one part withdrew to the direction of Xinzhuang. The 58th Army was behind the attack, and withdrew across the Jinjiang River while fighting, echoing their thoughts here. Lin Xiufeng's newly dug position organized by the people came in handy, giving these two friendly forces a place to stay. However, another bad news also came quickly, the 32nd Army stationed in Gao'an also withdrew, surrendering Gao'an to the Japanese army, and they withdrew to the Sinophone line.

Stone for such a situation can not help but be disappointed, constantly shaking his head, the easy retreat of friendly troops, undoubtedly brought a very adverse impact on the entire battle situation, especially the battle has just begun, in the case of the main direction of the Japanese army's attack is not clear, their continuous retreat here, so that the Japanese army in the overall layout of a great advantage. Judging from the current situation, in the case of the loss of Gao'an, Shanggao and Yifeng will undoubtedly face the attack of the Japanese army, if these two places are lost again, once the east gate of Changsha is lost, Changsha will be directly exposed to the attack of the Japanese army, and then will it be to defend southern Jiangxi or northern Hunan? In the case of two attacks, the deployment of troops will be greatly affected, and it is possible that there will be no absolute superiority in forces along either road, resulting in the Japanese army breaking through the Changsha defense line.

And if these friendly forces can hold out on to the front line of Gao'an and Huibu, it will be more difficult for the Japanese army. First of all, Gao'an, as a bridgehead for attacking Nanchang, is undoubtedly a big headache for the Japanese army, so that Nanchang and Fengxin need to be heavily defended, and naturally there will be insufficient troops on other battlefields. Another point, is the control of the initiative on the battlefield, Gao'an is in the hands of our army, our army has the initiative to attack Nanchang, once the Gao'an front line gathers heavy troops, the Japanese army is not to say that it is attacking Changsha, it is a little difficult to hold Nanchang, just like the last counterattack on Nanchang, the fierce situation of the counteroffensive makes the Japanese army unable to deal with it. But if the Japanese army is allowed to attack Changsha on this basis, the troops of the entire Ninth Theater will be in a passive response, and with the Japanese army's artillery and air superiority, continuous artillery fire and shells, it is enough to destroy all the defense lines.

This is also the reason why Shi sighed greatly, the troops of the Second and Third Armies couldn't stop the attack of a 106th division of the Japanese army, which is too unbelievable, right? Is it really like the Japanese army's propaganda, a division of the national army can't even beat one of their brigades?

Could it be that the combat effectiveness of these troops is really so different from that of the devils?

What Shi didn't know was that just when he was depressed here, Xue Yue, the acting commander of the Ninth Theater who had just received the news, was also furious at this moment, and ordered the 32nd Army to immediately counterattack Gao'an and get back the lost position, otherwise, he would charge the 32nd Army with all the guns on the charge of retreating.
