Lonely City (3)
"Reconnoitre, the specific situation of the Japanese army, how long can Changsha hold out? also told all the reinforcements that they must go out day and night, and rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible, if anyone is discovered! Whoever wants to delay the military plane, start by himself, regardless of the reason, and shoot on the spot! "Xue Yue gave an order at the headquarters! Twisting back and looking at the map, Xue Yue was very worried, because he didn't know what the bottom line of the Japanese attack was, and he didn't know if Li Yutang could hold out until the end, ten days! It only takes ten days for reinforcements to reach the battlefield! As long as Li Yutang still has a regiment, no! As long as there is only one battalion that can fight back, victory is in hand! "Report! Zhao Mingnan's counterattack failed, and Baishaling had been captured by the Japanese army! "Signal Corps Report!" What the? It's only been a day to lose Baishaling? Xue Yue twisted back and said a little angrily, "Tell Li Yutang that if he doesn't take Baishaling back for me, I'll shoot him now, and tell him that I will apply for air support and let him fight back with all his might!" "Commander! Commander Li has ordered to abandon the counterattack, shrink the troops to the second defensive position to organize the defense, and prepare to abandon the second line of defense after three days, and hold the city wall with all his might! The chief of staff came over and said. Is he crazy? If he is so passive and defensive, how can he resist for ten days, tell him not to take a step back, lose Changsha, I will punish him for the nine clans! Xue Yue roared angrily. Commander! The defenders of Changsha have sent someone! "An adjutant walked in with a man with the rank of major." Report to the Commander! In the counterattack at Baishaling, we captured important Japanese intelligence, in order to be foolproof, our commander asked me to rush with the information, and told me that I must hand it over to the commander in person! After saying that, he took out a piece of information!
"Brigadier Liu! I now order you to blockade the west of Baisha Ridge with artillery fire, not to allow a single Japanese army to attack from anywhere to the west, and to focus artillery support on the second line of defense! Li Yutang said to Liu Hai. Why? Aren't we going to fight back at Pak Sha Ling? Bangs asked strangely. The tide of battle has changed, and I've decided to give up on Baishaling! Li Yutang said: "Execute the order!" "Yes!" Bangs said immediately. "What? Give up on fighting back at Baishaling? Mu Zhennan said in surprise: "If Baishaling is recaptured, can it effectively block the Japanese army's southern invasion?" How can you say that if you don't fight back, you won't fight back? "There is only one explanation! That is, Commander Li has a way to definitely hold Changsha! He wants to deliberately let the Japanese army in! Bangs looked at the map and judged. If that's the case, then we'll have to rely on the second line of defense to wear down the enemy! I'll arrange the fire! Mu Zhennan said. Aren't you an observer? You personally take a group of people to the front to observe the Japanese targets and point out the artillery fire! "Understood!" Mu Zhennan said.
"The Chinese army has given up the counterattack, and now it's time for us to attack!" The chief of staff of the Japanese wing reported to the brigade commander. "Where's your co-captain? Why don't you come and see me? The brigade commander asked. Your Excellency the Wing Commander has been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! "The chief of staff took a look at his hanging arm!" You didn't lose Baishaling! Well done! The Wing Commander patted the Chief of Staff, "You are now succeeded as the Wing Commander, and your task is to attack, to attack the second line of defense of the China Army!" The commander of the Japanese brigade said. Hayi! The new Wing Commander said, "Please send us some more ammunition from the brigade commander, we are almost running out of ammunition in the defensive battle!" "I can only give you a partial supplement, because we don't have enough ammo either!" The brigade commander said, "This battle was rushed, the logistics were poorly prepared, and there was not enough ammunition, so it required us to show even greater courage and determination to defeat the Chinese people!" The brigade commander said. However, how can we do without ammunition, the fortifications in Changsha are strong fortifications built by the Chinese army for many years, and there is not enough artillery support, if we rely only on bayonets, we can only die! "The captain of the Japanese army roared!" Yaga! "The commander of the Japanese brigade hit a few mouths!
"Bastard!" The commander of the Japanese brigade roared angrily, "Anan, this waste, can only come up with some bad ideas, change the battle plan without authorization, there are almost no preparations for the battle, and even the minimum ammunition cannot be supplied in time, this is to risk the lives of imperial soldiers again, so as to use our blood to establish his military merits!" "Brigade commander, this is something that cannot be helped! What we have to do now is to capture Changsha! The chief of staff said. Order the troops, collect the weapons and ammunition on the battlefield, pick up all that can be used, and order the artillery units to overcome all difficulties to reach the designated position and give fire support! The Japanese wing commander said. Hayi! Said the chief of staff of the Japanese brigade. In fact, the situation at this time was even worse than the brigade commander thought, under Xue Yue's efforts, all the national troops in the enemy-occupied areas launched guerrillas, and even the New Fourth Army attacked everywhere, with the Battle of Changsha, the Japanese army's reinforcements and supplies could hardly go on the road and leave the city, otherwise they would be attacked, and there was a serious shortage of ammunition supplies for the entire Japanese army's attacking troops, and for the Japanese army, what was even more serious was that this situation had been clearly stated in the captured documents! "Warriors of the Empire, for the victory of the Empire, we have disassembled the cannons, dragged the horses with people, and must rush to the battlefield!" Said the artillery commander of the Japanese army! "I found that a Japanese army is advancing in the direction of Changsha!" The scouts of the national army reported the situation back: "Look at their equipment like artillery, the equipment seems to have been disassembled!" "We blew the road up! Their car had no way to drag the cannon forward, so they disassembled the cannon and ran to the battlefield with people on their shoulders, telling the ghost artillery to adjust its firepower and focus on eliminating this Japanese army! "Liu Hai felt that the opportunity was rare, and felt that he would temporarily adjust his firepower to eliminate this Japanese artillery!" Fire! "Dozens of cannons of the ghost artillery opened fire and bombarded the axis of advance of the Japanese artillery!
"What?" The commander of the Japanese brigade shouted: "The artillery is under superior enemy fire? Call for full support from the air! "The brigade commander was a little angry, because there was a shortage of ammunition, and if there was no artillery, this trip would not have been able to do it! But things did not go so smoothly, and the Japanese flying team was intercepted by the Chinese Air Force forty kilometers east of Changsha! "The artillery target is shifted five hundred meters to the west, rapid fire!" Mu Zhennan reported back the movements of the Japanese artillery on the phone in time, so that the ghost artillery could be adjusted in time, but the Japanese artillery could not return fire because of the decomposition of the artillery, not to mention, and was subjected to intensive shelling! After the shelling, the Japanese artillery assault brigade was blown to pieces, and artillery parts and human body fragments flew everywhere, which can be said to be miserable! "Attack!" Mu Zhennan ordered Liu Xiaoshan's assault battalion to attack and completely wipe out all the Japanese artillery that had been scattered by artillery fire. At this point, the Japanese army in the siege of Changsha, only a small amount of mortar fire to support, mountain artillery and heavy artillery did not arrive at the battlefield until four days later, at that time, the defeat of the Japanese army was certain, and had to retreat in a hurry!
"All of you!" The commander of the Japanese brigade shouted with a command knife and pushed his own soldiers out! In the direction of the Japanese army's attack, the national army hid in the positions that had already been built, waiting for work, and stubbornly resisted the Japanese attack! "This doesn't work! Organize death squads, blow up enemy fortifications, and open passages for attacking troops! "The captain of the Japanese offensive squadron saw that the position of the national army was strong and there was no heavy artillery firepower, so he had to organize a death squad!" Captain! There's something wrong with this little devil.,You see that there are a lot of Japanese soldiers in this offensive formation who are holding *.,Dog-day wants to blow us up! A veteran squad leader said. That's right! Organize the veterans, give me a beating, and don't let the devils rush over! The company commander said. Come on, come on! "That veteran began to organize the veterans and start shooting! The veteran oil's marksmanship is tricky, especially some bandit-born national soldiers, who can hardly hit fixed targets, but for the Japanese soldiers who are flashing around, it is a gun biting meat, and the Japanese army is a ghost crying wolf!
"Good fight! But we can't fight like this, our reinforcements haven't finished preparing yet, we can't be too hard, since we have already put the Japanese army in our pockets, then we will put him in the bottom of the pocket! Let him get in completely, and come to close the door and beat the dog! "Li Yutang saw the intelligence of casualties and knew that the second line of defense had almost blocked, and it was very likely that the Japanese army would give up if it continued like this." Pass my orders! All abandon the second-line positions, withdraw all the troops to hold the city, withdraw the reinforced regiment of the reserve to the rear, and never attack until the time for a counterattack! The other troops resisted with all their might, and the Liuhai Artillery Brigade in Yuelu Mountain covered the retreat of the troops to the city wall, and then continued to cover the troops to hold on! "Li Yutang gave the order." Retreat all! "The planned retreat of the positions of the various national armies began! Liu Hai's artillery began to cover the retreat of the national army in sections, and the retreat of the national army was very successful, and under the cover of artillery fire, they retreated to the preset fortifications of the city wall to continue to resist! When the commander of the Japanese offensive unit saw the retreat of the national army, he hurriedly ordered to follow up, intending to attack Changsha closely, but not only did not keep up, but was blocked by artillery fire and killed many people.
"Report! All the units are about to arrive at the predetermined battlefield, and a total of 300,000 troops from three group armies, 57 divisions, 16 independent brigades, a large number of artillery and engineers, and various arms will all be in place within three days! "Chief of Staff reports to Xue Yue!" That's great! Xue Yue clapped his hands happily, "Tell Li Yutang that if you hold on for the last three days, the victory will be ours!" Under Changsha City, the Japanese army has reached the last time, launched the last madness, for the soldiers of the national army in Changsha City, the last time has come!
