As soon as He Yingqin mentioned this, seeing that Lao Jiang's face was ugly, he hurriedly said: "Principal, now give this Wang Haitao a little sweetness, that is, an expedient measure, as long as the front line of Hunan and Henan is stabilized, we can free up our hands to deal with Wang Haitao and his Ninety Army." Now that the Japanese army has landed in Qinzhou Bay, intelligence shows that the target of the Japanese army is Wang Haitao and the 90th Army. Regardless of whether Wang Haitao's 90th Army could defeat the Japanese army, losses were inevitable. Now we only need to send a part of our troops to the border of Hunan and Guangxi, and if we have the opportunity, we can send troops to Guangxi and take Wang Haitao and the 90th Army in one fell swoop. ”

When Lao Jiang heard this, his face softened, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's okay, then let's do it." How to appease this Wang Haitao, your military and political department has an idea. There are also which troops to send to the Guangxi border, we must carefully choose. He Yingqin breathed a sigh of relief and agreed repeatedly. Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something again, and said to Lao Jiang: "Principal, I don't know if there is something else to Jingzhi that I should say?"

Lao Jiang replied: "What is the matter? He Yingqin said: "Principal, Wang Haitao is very important to Cixiu, and Cixiu's troops have a lot of Wang Haitao's care, if you want to deal with Wang Haitao, the principal of Cixiu should be clear." Lao Jiang said a little unhappily: "You just do it, the rhetoric is not a person who does not know the importance." When He Yingqin heard this, he said goodbye and left.

He Yingqin left, Lao Jiang thought for a while, and then brought Chen Cheng over. After Chen Cheng saw Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang asked Chen Cheng to sit down with a smile on his face, and then said to Chen Cheng: "Resignation, according to the report of Yunong's subordinates, Wang Haitao, the commander of the 90th Army, recently went to northern Shaanxi secretly, and he may have the intention of joining the Communist Party. The Ninety Army is your troops, and Wang Haitao is also your favorite general, what do you think about this?"

Lao Jiang's words stunned Chen Cheng for what he said, and after a while Chen Cheng replied: "Principal, this is impossible, right? As far as I know, since the 90th Army returned to Guangxi from Yueyang, it has been fighting the Japanese army, and recently the Japanese army has mobilized several divisions to attack the 90th Army from both sides, so how can Wang Haitao have time to go to northern Shaanxi? Could Yunong's men be mistaken?"

Lao Jiang's face turned cold, and he said: "Yunong has repeatedly promised that he will not be mistaken, and I also think that Yunong will not be nonsense in this kind of thing." This Wang Haitao has always been in contact with the CCP, and the CCP can produce penicillin, and this Wang Haitao is also inseparable. Now what do you say should be done with this person?" Chen Cheng understood that the "Communist Party" was Lao Jiang's rebellion, and whoever violated this rule would do whatever it took to deal with him.

But now that I have to deal with the 90th Army, I am afraid that my side will be greatly damaged, and the most proud of it at that time is Little Japan. Thinking of this, Chen Cheng hurriedly said: "Headmaster, now the Japanese army is eyeing me in Chongqing, if we mobilize troops to deal with the 90th Army, then the most beneficial thing is Little Japan." According to the opinion of his subordinates, the 90th Army is stationed in Guangxi, which is far away from northern Shaanxi, and as long as we block the road of the 90th Army to the north, it will be impossible for the 90th Army, a force of tens of thousands of people, to fly to northern Shaanxi. This will not let public opinion have unfavorable remarks, and it will not allow the Japanese army to take advantage of it, I wonder what the principal thinks?"

Lao Jiang nodded at this time and said: "The rhetoric is very good, but it can't give the Japanese army a chance. In this way, I will first ask the Ministry of Military Affairs to appease this Wang Haitao and the Ninety Army, and I will talk about other things later. However, at the junction of Hunan and Guangxi, you must send competent troops to prevent further movements of the 90th Army. Chen Cheng hurriedly responded, although Lao Jiang had arranged various measures, but the Ninety Army had become his heart disease.

The Ministry of Military Affairs quickly sent a commissioner, with a highest-ranking Guoguang Medal, two Blue Sky and White Sun Medals, two first-class Baoding Medals, and one million legal currency to Longzhou, Guangxi. Wang Haitao got the news, so he could only put down what he was doing first and arrange to receive the commissioner sent by Chongqing. Just when Wang Haitao arranged to receive the commissioner from Chongqing, the Japanese army was still attacking the position of the 211th Division on the side of Chongzuo City.

The Taiwan Mixed Brigade attacked Woyan Mountain for six days in a row, losing more than 2,000 people before and after, but only halfway up the mountain. Several previous positions had caused heavy losses to the Taiwanese mixed brigade. In the end, Commander Masaharu Honma couldn't wait any longer, and ordered the heavy artillery of the heavy artillery wing to assist, which made the 878th Regiment abandon these positions.

After reaching the halfway point of the mountain, the Japanese heavy artillery was also unable to use its strength because of the complex terrain. Faced with the position of the 878th Regiment, the Taiwan Mixed Brigade could only use the tactics of crowds to fill in with the lives of its soldiers. The 878th Regiment took advantage of the favorable terrain to kill and wound a large number of Japanese soldiers. Then calmly withdraw from the position. Commander Masaharu Honma also wanted to avoid this Woyan Mountain and make a detour towards Chongzuo City, but the report of the reconnaissance unit made him dismiss the idea of detouring.

From other roads, it is possible to go to Chongzuo City, but these roads are all small roads, not to mention cars, heavy artillery and chariots, even people are difficult to walk, not to mention that there are also Chinese troops stationed on these small roads, and the reconnaissance troops have also suffered a lot of losses. There was no way, Commander Masaharu Honma and the main force of the 16th Division could only set up camp at the foot of Woyan Mountain and wait for the Taiwan brigade to capture Woyan Mountain.

In Zhengzuo City, Tang Renxin, deputy commander of the army, Tang Longzai, commander of the 211th Division, and others were well aware of the situation of the Japanese army. The delay of the Japanese army in advancing was good news for the 211th Division. Originally, the preparations of the 211th Division were relatively sufficient, but now that there is time again, all the officers and men are seizing all the time to strengthen the fortifications and reserve supplies.

It took 10 days for the Taiwan Mixed Brigade to capture the Woyan Mountain position at the cost of losing more than 3,000 people, and at this time, Major General Ishimoto Sadamao finally breathed a sigh of relief and took the Woyan Mountain position, and he could explain himself to Commander Honma Masaharu. The 878th Regiment lost more than 400 people in the ten-day blocking battle, and the regiment commander Tang Yu led the team to withdraw from Woyan Mountain and came to Jiangzhou Town.

Jiangzhou Town is 15 kilometers away from Zhengzuo City, and the highway from Qinzhou City to Chongzuo City passes through the town. This is the gateway to Zhengzuo City, and the headquarters of the 462nd Brigade of the 211th Division is in Jiangzhou Town. For more than a month, the 462nd Brigade built the entire Jiangzhou town like an iron bucket, and the four defensive positions in front of the town were densely packed with bunkers and bunkers, and ground trenches and communication trenches crisscrossed the town.

The original insecure walls of Jiangzhou Town have been reinforced, and the people in the town have also mobilized and retreated to Chongzuo City, and the small town has abandoned all other buildings except for a dozen or so solid cement buildings. Many underground warehouses and anti-artillery holes were dug in the town to store supplies and prevent Japanese shelling and air raids.

Garrisoned in the town were the 1st Battalion of the 877th Regiment and the Brigade Guard Battalion, the 2nd Battalion of the 877th Regiment was defending on the wall of the filler, and the 3rd Battalion was the reserve. The 879th Regiment was stationed in several positions outside the town. After the 878th Regiment withdrew to the town, brigade commander Li Changwu asked the 878th Regiment to rest and serve as a reserve in the town, and sent the 1st and 3rd battalions of the 877th Regiment to positions outside the town.

On the four positions outside the town, there was originally only one regiment of the 879th Regiment stationed, and the strength was still a little thin, but now the two battalions of the 877th Regiment came up, and the defensive strength immediately became thicker, which made Wei Huang, the commander of the 879th Regiment, who was still a little worried, feel relieved. On the first defensive position, Wei Huang originally only put two companies of the second battalion, but now Wei Huang put the entire second battalion on it.

Chu Xifeng, the commander of the second battalion, was a fierce general who had been in the war for a long time, and after the entire second battalion was put on the front line, Chu Xifeng began to transfer troops. The battalion's heavy fire company had eight heavy machine guns in bunkers at the rear of the position, and mortars were scattered in sandbag bunkers in several combat groups. Numerous light machine guns were also distributed in an orderly manner throughout the position. The first line of trenches was garrisoned by a company.

The 468th Brigade was in strict position in Jiangzhou Town, and after the Japanese army captured Woyan Mountain, after a short rest, Commander Masaharu Honma could not wait to continue to advance towards Chongzuo City. The lead is still the Taiwanese mixed brigade. Major General Sadazhi Ishimoto, commander of the Taiwan Mixed Brigade, sent some soldiers to escort the wounded back to Qinzhou City, and then reorganized the brigade into two fully manned infantry brigades, plus a mountain artillery wing, an engineer brigade, and a baggage brigade, totaling 12,000 men.

After receiving the order of Commander Masaharu Honma, Major General Sadanao Ishimoto led a Taiwanese mixed brigade of more than 12,000 people to advance towards Chongzuo City as a vanguard. As the brigade commander, Major General Sadamao Ishimoto did not dare to have any objections to Commander Honma's order, but the officers and men under his command were a little dissatisfied.

These dissatisfactions were suppressed by Major General Ishimoto Sadanao. It was only 10 kilometers from the bottom of Woyan Mountain to Jiangzhou Town, and it took only one morning for the Taiwan Mixed Brigade to arrive in front of the outlying positions of Jiangzhou Town. After learning that there was another defensive position of the Chinese army in front, Major General Sadanao Ishimoto sighed and ordered the brigade to be stationed first and establish a position, the 2nd Infantry Wing was ready to attack, and the Mountain Artillery Wing was to establish an artillery position and prepare to launch an artillery bombardment on the defenders' positions.

A series of orders were conveyed, and the Taiwanese mixed brigade began to get busy. The actions of the Japanese army, Wei Huang, the commander of the 879th Regiment on the defensive position, stood on a high place and watched it. Wei Huang immediately gave an order to Chu Xifeng, the commander of the second battalion, and all the second battalion was ready to meet the enemy. In fact, there is no need for Wei Huang to order, Chu Xifeng is already preparing to meet the enemy, and after Chu Xifeng, who has been in battle for a long time, sees the arrival of the Japanese army, one order after another has been conveyed.

All the officers and men in the trenches entered the anti-artillery holes, and only the soldiers in the bunkers were holding their posts. The mortar groups also took cover and waited for orders to counterattack. At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese artillery bombardment of the defenders' positions began, and countless cannons and shells fell on the defenders' positions with a roar, and the defenders' positions were suddenly shrouded in gunpowder smoke and dust, and there were continuous fires in the gunsmoke.
