Section 13 The end of the counteroffensive

For Wu Zihuai's words, everyone also deeply agreed, involving the battle situation of so many troops, as many as hundreds of thousands of troops of the enemy and our armies fought each other, in this situation, they only have 3,000 soldiers in a regiment, there is no room for speech, and the current discussion can only be generally familiar with and understand the surrounding situation, in case something happens, it is better to be a little prepared.

This kind of discussion and discussion of the war situation undoubtedly reflects the importance of the various staff officers; compared with the commanders of the armed forces who have made a decision to kill and destroy, the main energy of these staff officers is to concentrate on the collection and sorting out of intelligence and the analysis of the battlefield situation; the staff officers who have received professional military education are much better than the many military commanders who fight wars completely on instinct.

It's just that when the 139th Division of the 32nd Army took over the defense of Xiangfuguan, can the remaining troops alone break through the Japanese army's defense line on the front line of Niuhang and Shengmi Street? For the next battle, the people of the 302nd Regiment are obviously not optimistic. For Shi, it seems that since Shangfeng vetoed Commander Yu's proposal, he no longer has any hope for the battle in front of him. His main concern now is when this battle will end.

On 3 May, a new round of fierce confrontation began on the positions of the enemy and our armies, which were surrounded by Fengxin, and the 106th Division, which was surrounded by Fengxin, took the initiative to attack and stormed the position of the 57th Division with the strength of one brigade. The commander of the 57th Division, Shi Zhongcheng, was fearless and commanded the troops to fight bloodily without retreating, and Yu Chengwan, deputy commander of the 57th Division, personally commanded the troops to flank the Japanese flank, and even tore through the enemy's battle formation several times and broke into the hinterland of the Japanese army, relieving great pressure on the defense line on the frontal defensive line. However, the Japanese attack was only a false shot, and then the strength of a wing went straight to the junction of the 57th Division and the 139th Division, and the 139th Division, which was caught off guard, was ill-prepared and suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese assault troops even killed the edge of Xiangfuguan for a time, which greatly shocked the 51st Division in Dacheng.

Fortunately, the 58th Division stationed on the front line of Gao'an and Chazishan reacted quickly, and in a very short time, it reached the periphery of Xiangfuguan and solved the danger of the 139th Division. However, this attack also shocked the 74th Army a lot, on the one hand, because of the unscrupulousness of the Fengxin Japanese army, and on the other hand, it also made them worry about the safety of the 51st Division. Especially when the 51st Division focused most of its energy on attacking the Xishan Wanshou Palace, they did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and if the 51st Division was put into it for some reason, the battle would be a big loss.

It was also this attack that made Luo Zhuoying, who had been urging the 74th Army to increase its attack, hesitate, and the 74th Army was undoubtedly the most combat-effective unit in the Ninth Theater today. This can be seen from the fact that all the ministries are struggling, and only they can take down Gao'an, Xiangfuguan, Dacheng and others in a very short period of time, and can directly threaten Nanchang. At this time, Yu Jishi's worries, in the reality that the Fengxin Japanese army could attack Xiangfuguan, were enough to confirm that it was not alarmist, but a real great threat, as a former enemy commander, how could he ignore the facts and let his troops go to death? Therefore, Commander Luo then issued an order to Yu Jishi to suspend the offensive of the 74th Army.

This order relieved the 74th Army from top to bottom, and also made them focus their attention on the 106th Division of Fengxin.

On the 4th, the 32nd Army came with exciting news, the main force of the 32nd Army occupied the first line of Shengmi Street, facing Nanchang City, under their fierce attack, the Japanese troops on the first line of Niuhang and Shengmi Street could not resist, and the Japanese army retreated into Nanchang City to defend. This news greatly boosted the morale of the whole army, not only because the offensive of the 32nd Army had made progress, but more importantly, the retreat of the Japanese army showed that the enemy army had gradually become unable to support it, perhaps not only later, they would be able to fully break through the enemy's position and complete the important task of counterattacking Nanchang.

In order to achieve the important task of recapturing Nanchang in the shortest possible time, they also incorporated the troops of General Chen Anbao of the 29th Army into the attack sequence of the Ninth Theater.

With the addition of the new force, the battle on the front line of Shengmi Street became more and more intense, and the Japanese army seemed to feel threatened, and almost all the troops were mobilized to the south of Nanchang, and the overall defense line was also sharply contracted.

However, on May 6, the tide of battle changed. When General Chen Anbao was on the front line to direct the operation, he was hit by a shell fragment and died on the spot. The death of the commander suddenly caused chaos in the 29th Army, and the originally quite favorable situation was reversed in vain, in this case, the 29th Army was not to say attack, and it was already a very difficult thing to stabilize the position and prevent the Japanese army from taking advantage of it.

Three days later, they received the news of the defeat of the troops in the Third War Zone.

In the past few days, with the continuous news coming from all around, the generals of the 302nd Regiment have been gathering together to discuss the military situation for more and more time. In fact, they also have nothing to do, they are on guard behind friendly troops, they can't train, they don't fight, except for clearing their weapons and recovering their strength on the position, they just brag and chat. It's okay for two days a day, but after a long time, everyone who is used to fighting can't help it, plus the stone's wife Wang Qianqian is in the barracks, and every meal will fry a few side dishes for the stone, where can these bachelors stand the delicious bait?

After a few days, Shi watched them look like a storm one by one, Shi simply asked Lao Zhou to cook vegetables and stew meat in a big pot and send them directly to him, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers gathered together to eat, which was also extraordinarily sweet, and at the same time exempted Mrs. from the pain of fatigue. Of course, the food of the whole group is the same as theirs, and for the stone, it is the most basic criterion to share blessings and hardships with the brothers.

It's no wonder that the 302nd Regiment will be so generous this time, it is really that they captured too much money in the past few days in the big city, the weapons and ammunition These stones have been handed over to Lao Zhou for proper storage, in the current situation, they are not suitable to take out the inventory and calculate, although Wang Yaowu and Zhou Zhidao both know that the stones must have captured a lot of weapons under the big city, but this kind of bloody battle can be fought down, itself requires strong and unmatched strength, plus great losses, the soldiers of the 302nd Regiment exchanged their lives for the spoils, Naturally, these Shangguan will not have any idea of exploitation, otherwise, who will fight desperately in the future?

This is also because they don't know how rich the capture of the 302nd Regiment is, otherwise they would not think so. In addition to weapons and ammunition, other things are the devil's food and grass, including military uniforms and combat boots, and even boxes and boxes of cigarettes, which makes the soldiers very happy. Although the devil's Oriental cigarette is not strong enough, it is better than nothing, and the snatched one is also a pleasure to smoke, isn't it?

I have to say that the Japanese army's combat supplies are really good, not only is there enough rice and grain, but the canned fish and meat are also stacked in boxes, and even the fresh fish and meat are enough for thousands of people to eat for half a month. Now the weather is getting hotter, but they can still hold it in a short time, which makes them eat very well during this time, and it is rare for them to nourish their bodies.

When they received the news of the rout of the friendly forces in the third war zone, everyone was eating, and after hearing the news, they were dumbfounded one by one, almost not believing Zheng Yongchang's words. Zheng Yongchang, who was holding a telegram in his hand, was sweating profusely at this time, and he didn't know whether he was frightened or anxious, the news came very suddenly, it was like a thunderclap on the ground, and the shocked people couldn't come back to their senses at once. You must know that Lin Xiufeng and others were still discussing when they would be able to take Nanchang before, although the stone was still not very optimistic, but from the excited words of Lin Xiufeng and others, it could still be seen that the battle situation was quite favorable. Unexpectedly, everything was turned upside down in the blink of an eye, in the case of the defeat of the various departments in the third war zone, how much more could the troops under their ninth war zone do? The original pincer offensive was defeated in one of the ways, and the other road also lost its previous sharpness, and if it continued to fight, the Japanese troops on the right side would turn their guns, and then it would be a big problem.

The rice in the stone bowl was only halfway eaten, but he didn't have the heart to eat any more at the moment, he immediately got up, although his expression was a little grim, but he still maintained a calm tone and said, "Brothers, go back immediately and prepare for retreat." Brother Beard, your battalion has worked hard, and half of the troops are dispatched to help replenish the battalion's transportation baggage, these belongings are very important, and they can't be pulled down. ”

Although everyone was stunned by the news, after all, they were all veterans who crawled over in the sea of corpses and blood, and their recovery ability was far from being comparable to ordinary people.

At this moment, the phone of the regiment headquarters rang, and the stone waved his hand at Zheng Yongchang, who was about to answer the phone, and then quickly rushed over and picked up the phone in person and answered: "I am the stone ...... of the 302nd regiment."

Soon, the news of the evacuation of Ayutthaya spread throughout the various departments of Ayutthaya, the brothers of the 51st Division and each regiment began to counterattack Gao'an on April 20, and have been fighting for nearly 20 days, they seized Gao'an under the heavy guard of the devils, and surrounded and annihilated most of the troops of a Japanese brigade on the front line of Chazi Mountain, originally they were looking forward to entering Nanchang to recapture this important town, but they did not expect the result of the battle to end in such a situation, when the angry soldiers heard the order to retreat, they couldn't help but scold, one after another, Even Wang Yaowu, who was lying on the hospital bed, heard it clearly, but he didn't say anything, just shook his head helplessly, but shut up and sighed. Like these brothers, how can Wang Yaowu feel good in his heart? Although Gao An defeated the devil in this battle, how many brothers did he lose before and after? The result is in exchange for such an ending, who can not be annoyed?

Only the soldiers of the 302nd Regiment are relatively calm, not because they have no temper, but because they are used to fighting dozens of battles large and small behind the stone, each battle is either the first battle or the rear, after countless encounters, they are already a little numb to the battle, and the trust in the regiment commander almost worships them, which also makes them silently obey the order, and they don't have to worry so much at all.

Anyway, there is a regiment commander, where is it not a fight? On the contrary, several battalion and company commanders were not very happy and were very dissatisfied with the performance of friendly troops! But the order to retreat has been given, how can they change it? What they didn't expect was that this retreat was a full two days, and they didn't stop until they reached Shanggao.
