"The 109th Wing has lost contact, I'm afraid it's more than lucky!" The staff officer reports to Ichiro Sakanishi! "The 109th Wing is a wing with strong combat effectiveness, and it is just gone?" Ichiro Sakanishi said. "This time our opponent is very unusual, the recent intelligence shows that this time and we are against the elite of the Zhina Army, especially there is a fourth army of combat formation, the commander is a general named Liu Hai, known as the artillery god of the Zhina Army, nearly half of the casualties in the attack on Furong Mountain, which was caused by the artillery under his command, as well as the 74th Army, the 100th Army, are all elite armor divisions of the Zhina, just in terms of firepower, we are really at a loss!" The staff officer reported the situation he had mastered! "The current strength is obviously insufficient, report to the military department to request additional troops!" Ichiro Sakanishi said.

"Damn, it's time to give him a shit!" The commander of the Nineteenth Army said. "Okay, I'll contact the defenders and we plan to fight back together!" Said a regimental commander. "No, this time we will counterattack by ourselves, don't notify the defenders, otherwise it is very likely to alarm the Japanese devils at that time, and if we do it well, we can kill him by a wing!" The commander of the 19th Army said: "No plan is the best plan!" "Okay!" The regimental commander said, "I'm going to assemble the team!" "Divide the team into three parts, and each of the three regiments chooses a direction to counterattack, but there is only one goal, which is Taohuaping, as long as the assault reaches Taohuaping, it is equivalent to cutting off the back road of the devil, and no matter how fast he runs, he must be surrounded!" The commander of the Nineteenth Army said. "Okay, okay, I'll arrange it!" The head of the regiment said. "Be quick!" The commander said: "Slow down, I'm afraid there will be changes!" ”

"Hit!" The company commander of the national army on Furong Mountain gave the order to open fire, and the long and short guns on the position opened fire together, and the Japanese troops who rushed to the front suddenly fell! "Fire!" The Japanese squad leader opened fire with a machine gun, and the Japanese soldiers behind opened fire one after another, and for a time there were casualties on both sides! "Call for artillery fire!" In the past few days, the regimental commanders, battalion commanders, and even squad leaders of the national army have a lot of trust in the artillery fire, especially the platoon artillery, as long as the distance is reported, the artillery fire can chase the devils in rows and blast them over, until the devils are killed! "One hundred and fifty meters away, call for artillery support!" The commander of the national army company reported the distance. In less than two minutes, the shells of the ghost artillery hit like they had eyes, and even the distance of the Japanese army at the communication time was taken into account, and the shell exploded at a distance of 110 meters, and then exploded along the road of the devil's charge, and the Japanese soldiers who were still charging just now immediately ran down! "Damn, why is this cannon so different from the cannon, our cannon used to be able to burn high incense without hitting our own people, if we all had this level, the little devil would have been fucking finished!"

"Remember to rush a little harder, the machine gun will open the way, all the bullets will be on the magazine, * throw them at me, our artillery will support you!" The head of the regiment said. "Don't worry, each of our battalions has organized an assault platoon, all Thomson, and the firepower is guaranteed to open the way!" "That's good, let's get started!" The regimental commander picked up a machine gun and said, "Assault platoon!" ”。 The counterattack of the XIX Army began! In order to make it difficult for the Japanese army, the commander of the 19th Army divided the order of the counterattacking troops into three stages, and three sorties in the east, west, and south, so that the Japanese army could not figure out what was going on and was exhausted! The intention of the commander of the Nineteenth Army came true! The assault in three directions was divided into three periods, and the resistance of the Japanese army was also at a loss, and they were exhausted from running around, and the result was that the Japanese army reacted only when the troops of the 19th Army captured Taohuaping. "Yaga Tooth Road! Cunning Shina people! Want to cut off our retreat! "The division commander of the 155th Division roared angrily!" Order the troops on both wings to encircle Taohuaping and destroy this group of Chinese troops! The commander of the 155th Division of the Japanese Army, who had recovered his strength, said, "The number of these counterattack troops does not seem to be much, at most one army, our 155th Division has more than 15,000 people, and it is not a problem to eliminate them!" "But what about the attack of the Zhina army in Furong Mountain?" "The Chinese army has always been ineffective in cooperating with each other, and it is common for them not to save when they die, so you don't have to worry about those defenders!" The commander of the 155th Division said with confidence.

"What's going on with Furong Mountain, what troops are assaulting?" Wang Yaowu said after receiving the report. "I already know that it is the people of the 19th Army, they have occupied Taohuaping and cut off the retreat of the 155th Division, but now the devils are already dividing their troops to encircle Taohuaping, trying to encircle and suppress the 19th Army!" The staff officer said. "Order the defenders of Furong Mountain to attack and cooperate with the 19th Army to attack the 155th Division! The 155th Division is divided into three ways to attack, and now if you want to encircle Taohuaping, you must first join forces, Commander Liu, your artillery can cut them off! Wang Yaowu asked Liu Hai. I don't know this, but if he does it with all his might, he won't leave 1,800 people behind, don't want to be together! Bangs said. Good! Please attack with all your artillery regiment, and our three armies will attack with all their might, and strive to kill this 155th Division! Wang Yaowu said. Good! Liu Hai immediately sent a telegram to the three artillery regiments, telling them to attack the joint of the three armies of the devil with all their strength, and use artillery fire to block the meeting of the 155th Division!

"Attack, after being beaten for so long, it's time to breathe, leave a regiment to guard the position, and the other combat divisions will attack with all their strength and beat him hard!" The three Chinese armies on the front line of Furong Mountain began to attack the 155th Division under the cover of the Liuhai Artillery Regiment. The three units of the 155th Division were immediately subjected to ferocious shelling! The accurate shooting of the ghost artillery, the heavy artillery strike of Wu Fatzi, and the tracking strike of Huang Kesheng made it impossible for the Japanese army who tried to join forces to attack Taohuaping to get their wish, and the shells were almost like a wall in front of the devils, and there were constantly shells exploding in the Japanese army, and it was too late for the Japanese army to evade, not to mention that there were three Chinese troops attacking in the back! "Yaga! The whole army retreats to the northwest, be quick! "The division commander of the 155th Division reacted quickly, and immediately knew that the situation was not good, and if he didn't leave, he would probably be killed! Within two hours, the direction of the Japanese army's attack changed to the northwest, and the speed was very fast, the 19th Army holding Taohuaping did not react, and even the three armies attacking did not react, and the 155th Division was evacuated like this!

"To the west, it is very well done, the 155th Division is the hero of the empire!" Ichiro Sakanishi was very satisfied with the voluntary withdrawal of the 155th Division and the preservation of strength! "What's next? Our two rounds of attacks failed, and this time the Zhijiang operation is over? The chief of staff asked. Of course not, I have already asked for the reinforcements of three divisions, plus the 155th Division and other troops, we have almost six divisions and regiments, and two artillery wings to support us! Ichiro Sakanishi said solemnly, "You may not know that two months ago, Allied planes bombed Tokyo,* fell into His Majesty's Imperial Palace, and because of our incompetence, His Majesty the Emperor was frightened, and all of our Imperial soldiers were guilty of shocking!" And the Allied bombers that bombed Tokyo took off from this Zhijiang airfield, which is now the largest front-line base of the Americans in China in China, and its existence is also a shame for our Imperial Japanese Army, so even if you pay a big price, you must destroy it! Do you understand? "Yaga! I see, Your Excellency Commander, please allow me to take command of the former enemy and wash away the disgrace of the Imperial Army and His Majesty the Emperor! Ichiro Sakanishi's chief of staff said. Well, six divisions are attacking together, and someone from the command is needed to coordinate the command, go for it! Ichiro Sakanishi said.

"Report, our counterattack this time was very unsuccessful, not only did not annihilate the 155th Division, but also caused some casualties! It's all my responsibility, and I'm willing to submit to any punishment! "The commander of the Nineteenth Army pleads guilty to Wang Yaowu!" To be honest, you are not my Wang Yaowu's person, you are Chen Cheng's person, and I can't punish you well! However, the starting point of your attack is good, and this attack is not too unsuccessful, at least it has achieved some results. However, you launched an attack without asking for instructions, so that we attacked passively, there are still times! Wang Yaowu said, "We have received information that the Japanese army fighting in Xiangxi has increased its troops, plus the original Japanese army, and now has six divisions of troops, and this battle is getting bigger and bigger!" So after the new offensive of the Japanese army is launched, your 19th Army will be responsible for defending the defense line 100 miles wide in front of Furong Mountain, remember that it is defense, try to consume the strength of the Japanese, and it is not allowed to attack without authorization, forget about this matter, if you don't fight well, I will shoot you, and then report that you are killed, I believe that Chen Cheng will not do anything to me, understand? "Please rest assured, Commander, all the officers and men of our 19th Army will never disappoint your hopes!" The commander of the Nineteenth Army said immediately.

"Your Excellency, the reinforced divisions are all in place, and we can attack within a day!" Said Ichiro Sakanishi's chief of staff. "To the west, I have good news for you, the weather has been very good recently, it is cloudy, the clouds are very low, and the enemy planes cannot support them!" Ichiro Sakanishi said. "The enemy's air force did not attack many times, but the enemy's artillery was a great threat to us, and the troops responded very well to the opponent's artillery, and we were often chased and bombed, and many casualties were caused by artillery!" said the chief of staff. "This time, we have two artillery wings to cover us, and the leader is the famous artillery hero of our Imperial Japanese Army, Miki Kichizaburo Osa, and it is not a problem to have him in the artillery cover!" Ichiro Sakanishi said. "Great! With Miki Kichizaburo Daisa, our artillery hero, I am very confident that I will break through the defenses of the Shina people and make meritorious contributions to the Empire! The chief of staff said. If you want the west, work hard! Ichiro Sakanishi said.

Sakanishi Ichiro's chief of staff returned to the front line, commanding six divisions of the Japanese elite, as well as two artillery wings to rush towards Furong Mountain. Under the command of the chief of staff, the Japanese army of six divisions launched a frantic attack on the main force of the national army of more than 200,000 troops of the four group armies and two armies and one independent corps commanded by Wang Yaowu on a front of 200 miles, and the real big war began!
