After a day of fierce fighting here in the Changshan position, Liu Xiangjun, the commander of the 313th Regiment who abandoned the Xiangshan position and left, finally withdrew with his men to the county seat in the east. When Liu Xiangjun saw Li Yunheng, the commander of the 16th Army, Li Yunheng's wine had not yet woken up. Liu Xiangjun didn't care about offending the military seat, and after a cup of cold water was poured on Li Yunheng's head, Li Yunheng woke up.

When Liu Xiangjun saw that Li Yunheng had woken up, he shouted with a crying voice before the military seat was furious: "Military seat, something is wrong! The little Japanese attacked the positions of Xiangkou Town and Xiangshan, and our regiment resisted desperately, but the little Japanese had tens of thousands of horses, and our regiment was not supported, and both positions were lost! Now the little Japan is attacking the Changshan position!"

Li Yunheng, who was drenched in cold water, was about to get angry, but was frightened by Liu Xiangjun's crying words, and at this time Li Yunheng also woke up and sweated down. Thinking of the conversation between the new boss Commander Wang Haitao and himself a few days ago, as well as the guarantees he made, Li Yunheng couldn't help but be afraid.

With Liu Xiangjun, Li Yunheng rushed to the headquarters in one breath, first ordering Peng Ze's 167th Division to reinforce Madang Fortress. Then he ordered Zhou Qiduo, the commander of the 53rd Division, to immediately launch a counterattack against Xiangshan and Xiangkou Town. It is necessary to recapture Xiangshan and Xiangkou Town. And Liu Xiangjun was also driven by Li Yunheng to retake the Xiangshan position.

At this time, Wang Haitao had just arrived in Hukou County with two battalions of soldiers of the guard regiment. The 28th Division of the Japanese army was fully withdrawn to Jingdezhen. It was not because the 92nd Division arrived in Hukou County, but because Lao Jiang was afraid that Jiujiang would be lost, so he sent the 18th Army of Huang Wei, a descendant of the Central Army, to launch a counterattack from Nanchang to Jingdezhen.

Wang Haitao received a telegram from Liu Yuzhu and Li Yunheng at the same time in Hukou County, and Liu Yuzhu's telegram was to inform the military that the Japanese 106th Division had arrived in front of the Changshan position and was launching an attack on the Changshan position. Li Yunheng's telegram was to ask Wang Haitao for the loss of the two positions in Xiangkou Town and Xiangshan, and explained that he had ordered the 53rd Division to counterattack the Xiangshan position and ordered the 167th Division defending Pengze to reinforce the Madang Fortress.

Wang Haitao did not attach importance to the Xiangshan position, but in contrast, Wang Haitao paid more attention to the ten kilometers along the river between Xiangkou Town and Changshan position and Madang Fort. Wang Haitao knew that once the Japanese army could not capture the Changshan position, it would definitely bypass the Changshan position, choose a place between Changshan and Madang Fort, and then either attack directly at Madang Fort, or attack the Changshan position.

On the 10-kilometer river between Changshan and Madang Fort, the soldiers of the Marine Corps are also guarding various places, especially the Madang Fort, in addition to the artillery, there is also a brigade of 800 Sheren defending, there should be no problem, but in order to prevent accidents, Wang Haitao still called Li Yunheng back, asking him to give up the counterattack on the Xiangshan position and strengthen the troops between the Changshan position and the Madang Fort.

Speaking of the Japanese army, after waiting for a day, Takeshiro waited for the artillery wing of the division. The artillery of the artillery wing had just been replenished from the Japanese mainland, and it consisted of 36 75 mountain guns. Japan's war of aggression against China lasted for two years, and the war resources were seriously consumed, and for the 106th Division, which was a type B division, it could only be supplemented with some old-fashioned artillery, while the new-style artillery was supplemented by those elite divisions of the first type.

With the artillery wing in hand, Takeshita Lang also hardened, commanded the artillery wing to set up artillery, and bombarded the Changshan position. On the Changshan position, Liu Yuzhu saw that the Japanese artillery fire was much fiercer, and said in his heart: "The artillery of the little Japanese is fierce enough! What's the matter? Bullying Lao Tzu has no artillery? Lao Tzu's heavy artillery regiment is not here, otherwise, ----。 No, didn't you leave a dozen howitzers and naval guns behind before the military seat left?

Thinking of this, Liu Yuzhu picked up the phone and went directly to the artillery position located at the rear of the position. The artillery positions were still operated by the same marines who were in charge of the squadron leader. Now I received an order to counterattack the Japanese artillery positions, and I was in a hurry. The orientation of the Japanese artillery positions was first calculated, then a test fire was first fired, then corrected, and finally an artillery strike.

However, it is a pity that when the test projectile was fired, the experienced Japanese artillery was prepared, and only six 105 howitzers could hit the Japanese artillery position, and the number was really small, so the damage of these six howitzers to the Japanese artillery wing was not great, but the Japanese temporarily stopped the shelling of the Changshan position and began to shift the position.

In this way, Takeshita's 111th Brigade attacked the Nagayama position for three consecutive days, but there was no progress, and the division commander Junrokuro Matsuura could not hold his breath anymore, and sent a telegram to Commander Okamura Ninji, requesting that planes be sent to support the attack. Commander Okamura Ninji was also a very flexible general in the Japanese army, and although he agreed to send planes to help in the battle, after studying the map for a long time, he came up with a better idea.

That is, to bypass the Changshan position from the Yangtze River, send troops to land on the riverside between the Changshan position and the Madang Fort, and attack the Madang Fort. Okamura Ningji's purpose is still Madang Fort, as long as Madang Fort is taken, then the Yangtze River from Anqing to Jiujiang will be unimpeded, and it will not be a problem to take Jiujiang.

Okamura Ninji invited Rear Admiral Kawakoshiro, commander of the Yangtze River Fleet, and the two discussed for a long time and decided on the next landing point: Kurayama Rock behind the Nagayama position. After deciding on the location, Okamura Ninji sent another telegram to Junrokuro Matsuura, asking him to send a brigade to land behind the Nagayama position with the assistance of the navy. Junrokuro Matsuura received the order and immediately ordered the 136th Brigade to prepare the brigade commander, Major General Akio Inoue.

In the early morning of the next day, when it was at its darkest, the 136th Brigade took a troop carrier of the Navy and successfully landed at Zangshanji behind the Changshan position. By dawn, the brigade commander Akio Inoue sent a brigade to attack the Changshan position from the back of the Changshan position, and most of the troops went straight to the Madang Battery. The situation of the Japanese army was discovered in the rear of the Changshan position, and it was quickly reported to the regiment commander Liu Yuzhu by the guard post, and Liu Yuzhu mobilized the reserve at the first time, and the third battalion of the 570th Regiment went up.

The three battalions occupied a favorable position and defended the danger, and a Japanese brigade did not attack again after several unsuccessful attacks, but only blocked the road from the defenders of Changshan to Madang Battery, making the defenders on the Changshan position a lone army. In this regard, Liu Yuzhu did not plan to give up the Changshan position and break through, because Liu Yuzhu knew that there were still several positions on the ten-kilometer road to Madang Fort behind him, all of which were defended by the marines.

In Li Yunheng's view, the 167th Division is reinforcing Madang Fortress, and the 167th Division is only a dozen kilometers away from Madang Fortress, and it can reach Madang Fortress in one day anyway.

I don't know if the Japanese army was too careless, or the 53rd Division was really desperate under Li Yunheng's strict orders, and the 53rd Division used two regiments to recapture the Xiangshan position guarded by an infantry squadron. After the Japanese 111th Brigade concentrated in Xiangkou Town, the 53rd Division still wanted to take Xiangkou Town in one go, and at this time, the artillery of the Japanese artillery wing and the artillery of the gunboats on the river gave the 53rd Division a taste of the powerful artillery power of the Japanese army.

Under the frantic shelling of the Japanese army, the two regiments of the 53rd Division not only did not capture Xiangkou Town, but lost more than half of their troops. However, as soon as they retreated to Xiangshan, before they could catch their breath, a wing of the Japanese army launched a counterattack on the Xiangshan position. The 53rd Division, which had no fighting spirit, resisted for a while, and seeing that it was difficult to block the Japanese attack, it could only abandon the Xiangshan position again and retreat to Longtouling.

The 53rd Division's counterattack on Xiangshan and Xiangkou Town was a complete failure, but what was even more serious was that Xue Weiying's 167th Division did not rush to Madang Fort in one day. After Xue Weiying's department was ordered to reinforce quickly, when he led his division to set off from Pengze, his brain was also flooded, and he said: "The enemy army must have reinforcements when besieging the fortress, and if you go from the main road, you will be blocked by the enemy." "Take the path in the mountains to the south!

The chief of staff asked: "If you take a small road with the people of a division, you will inevitably move slowly, and it will be too late." Why don't you ask for instructions to go to the upper peak?" Xue replied: "Everything is waiting for the boss to decide, what do you want us people to do?" Then, the artillery fire of Changshan Xiangshan in front of the horse was urgent, and Xue Weiying and his entire division were lost in the ravine!!

Major General Inoue Akio commanded a multi-wing of the 136th Brigade to attack from Zangshan Rock to Madang Battery, and the first line of defending positions he faced was the Daxueshan position, which was defended by a brigade of marines. The left side of the Daxue Mountain position is the Yangtze River, the right side is Taibai Lake, and the road under the mountain in the middle is only more than ten meters wide. It can be said that it is a one-man affair and a husband is not open.

This is also the last dangerous position to reach the Madang Battery, once this position is lost, the Japanese army will go straight to the Madang Battery, and there will be no more danger. At the foot of the Great Snow Mountain, Inoue Akio gasped in the face of the steep Great Snow Mountain position. But the attack was still going to be carried out, so Inoue Akio set up a formation under Daisetsuzan and launched a strong attack on the Daisetsuzan position.

The more than 800 soldiers of the Marine Corps on the position in the Great Snow Mountain had a few mortars that had just been assigned to them, as well as five heavy machine guns and eight light machine guns. With these heavy weapons, coupled with the dangerous terrain, the Japanese army was repulsed by the defenders in several large-scale attacks. Inoue Akio gradually lost the patience to continue pestering, but took out the poison gas bomb he secretly carried, preparing to use the poison gas bomb to deal with the defenders on the snowy mountain.
