Chapter 297: Recovering Yichang

After determining that the Japanese army entrenched in the Wushan area was annihilated, Li Yunlong threw the task of cleaning up the battlefield to Xiao Zhuge who was still consolidating the defense line in Zhongxian, and then led the main force of the New First Army to Yichang without looking back.

But the current situation is that the main forces of the 6th and 13th Divisions have been completely annihilated. The command system of the 11th Army was still in chaos, and Yichang had less than 3,000 Japanese logistics personnel and a division of the Peaceful Founding Army.

The chief of staff of the six gods and no master actually agreed with the opinion of this senior division commander who was also said to be a top student of the Baoding Military Academy, organized the logistics personnel in the panic, and prepared to distribute weapons to thousands of handymen after making an impassioned pre-war mobilization.

I don't want the division commander of the Peaceful Founding Army to hook up with the military commander early in the morning, when the Japanese army has the upper hand, they all plan to destroy the devil materials in Yichang, not to mention the current situation, more than 100 light and heavy machine guns deployed around the school field fired at the same time, and after a while, the more than 3,000 devils were completely annihilated, and the Japanese army was not even given the opportunity to surrender, and the only one who survived was the chief of staff of the devil Dazuo, after all, this is also a "meritorious man".

In the early morning of April 1, when Li Yunlong was still entangled with the sporadic Japanese puppet army on the periphery of Yichang, Yichang was recovered, and almost at the same time, the news of Nanchang's recovery also came, like a stimulant, so that the rear of the gloomy clouds for the past few days broke out in an instant, even in the middle of the night, but there was still a huge parade Chang'an, Chuncheng, and Shancheng - everyone was venting their emotions with all their might, and the joy could not be stopped.

On the morning of April 1, 1941, Li Yunlong's unit drove into Yichang to take over the defense of Yichang City, during which the Japanese army Yamamoto sent a small detachment to try to assassinate Li Yunlong and other generals with 150mm mortars, but was defeated by our eastern Sichuan guerrillas in time.

People are not as good as heaven, Yamamoto Kazuki wants to stage a scene of fighting birds in the palace under the spotlight of reporters, and he doesn't want Director Dai of the Military Command Bureau to sit in Li Yunlong's car at that time, it turns out that the puppet army commander of the uprising and him are actually old friends, and behind this uprising, there are many details that must be implemented by Director Dai.

When the Japanese army's 150mm high-explosive grenade exploded, if it weren't for Li Yunlong's desperate efforts to protect him, maybe Director Dai would have been glorious, even so, a truck that served as a guide car still reimbursed more than a dozen members of the military command at one time, three of which were proper core members, the kind with a lot of blood debts, in order to assassinate Li Yunlong, Director Dai had many ways to choose, but it would never be like this.

After the attack, Li Yunlong did not choose to withdraw from the city or change to an armored vehicle, but chose to walk with Director Dai to the headquarters of the former 13th Division.

Li Yunlong did not have the slightest fear on his face in the face of these, even if a military commander agent next to him was shot in the head, he still waved his arms with a cigar on his face, this moment was recorded by a Bald Eagle reporter, and soon appeared in the latest issue of "Time" magazine, plus an article introducing this famous military strategist, scientist, writer and film screenwriter, so that this Dabie Mountain soon became the idol of the all-Bald Eagle.

Facing the camera, Li Yunlong announced that the footsteps of the New First Army would not stop in Yichang, and after the Sixth Theater Commander's Office and the main force arrived in Yichang, the New First Army would go south to point directly at the remnants of the Japanese Eleventh Army that were still stubbornly resisting in Wuhan.

On 2 April, a tank unit of the Ninth Theater entered the urban area of Wuhan, and the Japanese army, which had been relying on the stubborn resistance of the urban area, had already taken a boat to Jiangbei, and at this point, the southern part of Hubei Province had been completely recovered, and the first unit of the Ninth Theater continued to be on alert against the Japanese troops still deployed on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the other unit advanced to Jiujiang under the cover of armored troops, hoping to seize Jiujiang in one go.

Don't look at the Jiangbei area of Wuhan is still under the control of the Japanese army, but the situation of the Japanese army in Wuhan at this time is simply not too bad, because they no longer have the materials to support them to continue to resist, and even the most basic supply of ammunition cannot be satisfied.

Later, the Ninth Theater besieged the city, and the main force of the Japanese army concentrated in the residential area on the south bank, trying to coerce the citizens to resist the attack of the Ninth Theater, and it turned out that the Japanese army was indeed successful, but this time they missed the puppet army on the north bank, although the puppet army did not have the ability to seize the city, but it was still possible to concentrate elite forces and cooperate with the Military Command Bureau to get rid of the ammunition and materials stored by the Japanese army on the north bank.

On April 1, the news of the recovery of Yichang and Nanchang came, and the puppet army in Wuhan immediately launched a riot, and immediately withdrew from the city after destroying the ammunition depot, grain depot and material reserve depot of the Japanese army, and went all the way north, running towards the Dabie Mountains.

There was no food to grab the grain in columns, and the three towns of Wuhan could always grab enough food, but the matter of no ammunition would be fatal, and in desperation, the Japanese army could only abandon the south bank area, concentrate on retreating to the north bank, and throw all the expectations of blocking the troops of the Ninth Theater to the navy.

But what the Japanese army never expected was that the Sixth Theater of the National Army, which had experienced a major war, still had the ability to attack Wuhan in the south, although the newly formed First Army was a newly formed army, it was also a well-equipped army of 70,000, and even the 11th Army at its peak also needed to concentrate the main force to deal with, not to mention the 11th Army that is now disabled.

Li Yunlong's new army over there has not left Yichang, and the devils in Wuhan and Jiangbei here are completely chaotic.
