Section 113 Counterattack on Gao'an VIII

The Japanese army was completely stunned by this unimaginable artillery fire, they never thought that the enemy still had such a ferocious artillery fire, the terrifying momentum of the mountains and seas, the terrible feeling of facing death at any time, maybe the next moment, almost suffocated them, the entire Gao'an city was completely turned into a pile of rubble after the fierce artillery attack of the 74th Army, and after suffering several devastating blows in succession, this small city was completely flattened from the ground.

The captain of the 103rd Wing narrowly escaped by falling back to the ground with the collapse of the city wall and then retreating into a crater under this almost devastating artillery fire, which was an important reason for his survival. However, after the artillery fire had stopped, before he could do anything more, he felt a tightness on his head, and was held up by something cold.

Although the wing commander was lucky enough to survive the shelling, he was also dizzy by the bombing, and before he could understand what was happening, he heard a sharp shout. However, he didn't understand what he was shouting at all, he instinctively wanted to stand up, and as soon as he moved, he felt a pain in his waist, as if he had been kicked heavily, and he fell down.

When did the captain of the "Baga" Wing suffer such a loss, he immediately scolded angrily, he suddenly turned his head, but what he saw made him dumbfounded, I don't know when, there were actually several enemy soldiers standing around him, looking at him with a cold and cold eye, and the thing that was holding his head was a long rifle.

How did the enemy appear here? The co-captain watched as the other party rushed up and tied him backhand, but he never understood why this was happening!

The second lieutenant who led the team was very excited at this time, the previous wing captain was wrapped in dust, and there was nothing special on his clothes, but after being kicked and turned over, the second lieutenant saw the other party's rank at a glance! Dazuo, at least at the level of the captain of the Japanese army, didn't expect to catch such a big fish just after breaking into the city, how could he not be excited?

Lu Xing led the "Brave Team" all the way forward, and soon rushed through the center of Gao'an City, there were no roads along the way, and there were no obstacles, and everywhere you could see the corpses of Japanese soldiers buried by the ruins, and the fortifications that were built during this time did not play the slightest role and were completely destroyed. Their progress was smooth beyond human imagination, and the battle to regain Gao'an was as easy as a dream.

To be honest, not to mention the devils, that is, they themselves did not expect that their 74th Army alone could launch such a powerful artillery offensive, the previous repeated bombardment for so long has always been the exclusive domain of the devils, but they did not expect that today it was the artillery of their own side, and the confidence and joy brought to them by that kind of strong firepower were something they had never imagined.

And the facts in front of them show that after receiving such a blow, the devils are also unable to defeat the army, and their performance is even far worse than them, which also makes them completely see what the so-called "myth of invincibility" is, but it is just relying on the sharpness of the artillery and the superiority of the aircraft, and the devils are not good at all in the real battle under the same conditions.

Their advance was not blocked until they had occupied more than half of Gao'an, and one of the captains sensed that something was wrong, and summoned the soldiers who had escaped death to begin to search and rescue their accomplices in the four places, and then they heard the sound of gunfire, although it was only a sporadic gunshot, but it made them startled, and they couldn't help but instantly form a temporary defense line relying on the craters of the broken wall.

However, in the blink of an eye, they were overwhelmed by the rushing soldiers of the national army, this temporary defense line really had nothing to be strong, coupled with the fact that the devils were frightened, and the hands and feet of the shells were weak, this contact was slaughtered by the fierce soldiers of the national army, and the defense line composed of more than a dozen people collapsed in an instant.

It was only when Lu Xing and the others rushed to the north gate that they were really blocked. The previous gunfire and brief exchange of fire reminded the Japanese soldiers who had escaped death that the previous lines of defense, although fragile, had also slowed the progress of the Nationalist soldiers, and when they were about to occupy the whole of Gao'an, the soldiers of the 103rd Wing of the Japanese Army, who had been assembled, began to counterattack. Although in the artillery attack, their losses were extremely heavy, but a company of three or four thousand people, this number is too large, after stabilizing the position, more surviving Japanese soldiers gathered together, began to launch a counterattack, little by little to recapture the land that has been occupied.

At this time, the 157th Wing had already received news from Gao'an City, the enemy's attack speed was too fast, and under the thunderous blow, it had already occupied most of Gao'an City. According to common sense, a wing stationed in Gao'an to guard this kind of projectile place was originally impregnable, but the news from the city surprised them greatly.

Because the distance between Gao'an and Chazishan is very close, their communication network is very smooth, there is a direct telephone connection, they can understand the battle situation of Gao'an City at the first time, when they heard the information that the 103rd Wing died nearly half of them in the shelling, the 157 Wing was speechless for a long time, and when they reported the situation here to the brigade commander, Kudo Yoshio, the Japanese major general, was also rare and did not get angry, just stared blankly at Gao'an City wrapped in smoke and dust, and also wandered out of the world for a while.

The enemy's powerful artillery fire completely subverted their ideas, and the reason why Kudo Yoshio deployed the entire 103rd Wing in Gao'an City was to rely on his strong forces to tightly hold this choke point southwest of Nanchang City. Who knows, it was his thinking that caused the current situation, and the dense forces became a fixed target for artillery, and the losses greatly increased.

Reinforcements to Gao'an City? Kudo Yoshio hesitated, on the one hand, although the 103rd Wing suffered a lot of losses, even if there was only half of the troops left, it should be easy to withstand the enemy's attack. But he has not received a report from the captain of the 103rd Wing so far, which makes him feel uneasy, if the captain has an accident, can the troops with heavy losses still hold Gao'an?

Just when they hesitated here, Tsuda Chenshen of Xiangfuguan came with news that the enemy army had crossed the river in the Longwan area and had approached Xiangfuguan, and the current situation of the enemy's strength was unknown, and I don't know what the enemy's intention to cross the river was?

This made Kudo Yoshio even more hesitant, if before the enemy attacked Gao'an City, he would definitely order the 157th Wing to allocate a part of the troops to support Xiangfuguan, because when the 106th Division was fighting in the Gao'an area, there was a precedent of being robbed by the enemy and almost encircling Gao'an City, so the defense of the rear part of the flank, they have always been very tight, and in Xiangfuguan, a place far away from the front line, they also arranged half of the heavy troops of the wing, just in case. Although the strength of the 149th Wing is quite large, Kudo Yoshio, as the brigade commander, is very aware of the combat strength of friendly troops, and its combat capability is very limited when more than half of the officers and veterans of the 101st Wing are mobilized. The strategic position of the auspicious symbol is very important, and if there is any mistake, it will be a devastating disaster for them.

However, the big battle here in Gao'an has begun, judging from the enemy's previous artillery offensives, its combat effectiveness is indeed far from being comparable to the ordinary Chinese army, and the rumors that the 74th Army is the most elite unit of the enemy army are really good, and it is no wonder that the 106th Division has fought with them several times and suffered defeat. The other party captured nearly half of Gao'an City in such a quick time, and it should have invested all its troops, in this case, the enemy army that landed on the north bank of the Jinjiang River, the purpose is obvious, it should be the opponent's containment force, in order to cooperate with the main force to storm Gao'an City, if it is calculated according to this, the 147th Wing should be enough to hold the auspicious charm.

But what if the calculation is wrong, and the enemy forces that appear on the north shore are the main forces? The consequences will be unimaginable!

The 102nd Brigade had already suffered a big loss as soon as it engaged in the battle here in Gao'an, and if it was encircled in the Gao'an area again, the consequences would be terrible. In order to ensure the safety of the troops, Kudo Yoshio thought for a while, but still sent a telegram to the division and regiment headquarters, and when he was too busy to take care of himself, he could only hope that the officers of the division and regiment headquarters would come up with the correct countermeasures. As for the reinforcements, the current situation is that he can't wait for the division headquarters to send him some more reinforcements, where does he still have troops to support Xiangfuguan?

Goan Castle! The vanguard troops commanded by Lu Xing finally stopped advancing, facing more and more enemy troops, facing more and more dense firepower, their numerical disadvantage was gradually magnified, and the attack became more and more weak, however, the situation in front of them was far beyond their previous imagination, originally thought that there would be a fierce battle after entering the city, and now they did not encounter a decent counterattack of the enemy until they occupied half of the city, which showed that the previous artillery coverage really gave the Japanese unimaginable blow.

Seeing that the number of enemy troops is increasing, Lu Xing also immediately sent someone to report the battle situation on the front line to the command, he believes that as long as the troops are sufficient, he has absolute certainty to take Gao'an City before dark, because the defense system of the entire city has been completely destroyed by artillery fire, the current offensive and defensive battle, the fight is personnel and troops, and the fighting spirit and blood, and this is their specialty, every soldier of the 74th Army, does not lack the courage to die with the devil, every Chinese man, There is no lack of heroism in the face of death! Regardless of whether the enemy army has reinforcements or not, they have only one goal, that is, to kill all the enemies and take Gao'an.

A moment later, the command of the national army that received the news did not hesitate to issue an order for reinforcements, in the face of such a good situation, Wang Yaowu saw the hope of victory, he did not hesitate to put the 301st regiment into the battle, and the strength of the entire division did not have the slightest reservation.
