743, a charge! Wuhu takes!
Come and see Yang Sanmu.
Although it is the meaning conveyed by Ni Dong, it has to be verified in person.
This is the command of two armies.
Zhang Chu is looking forward to it. Also very confident.
If there is any kind of magic calculation, it must not be there. But in the war of attrition, we are very confident.
He can slowly fight with the Japanese in Wuhu.
Constantly depleting the Japanese army. And ammunition. Until the Japanese invaders can't hold it anymore.
"That's what I thought." Yang Sanmu clearly affirmed.
But as soon as the conversation changed, "it's not ......"
Zhang Chu sat down.
Okay, you speak slowly. I sat and listened.
"Actually, it's nothing."
"What the hell is that?"
"The gun shoots the first bird. Someone may hate you even more. will do whatever it takes to deal with you. ”
"Huh."
Zhang Chu sneered.
Someone? All right! Let the horses come.
I guess I also gave the 57th and 51st Divisions a lot of weapons and ammunition. Even 105-mm howitzers were given.
If you want to take revenge like this, then there is really no way.
"Go ahead!"
"Farewell!"
Zhang Chu walked out. See a beautiful female soldier.
Yes, this Yang Sanmu, and he will fix this for himself.
Really, think I can't stand such a test? Who can't stand such a test?
Oh, I can't......
"Adjutant Zhang!"
"What's your name?"
"Oriole."
"What?"
"The oriole of the oriole bird. I've had that name since I was a child. ”
"What's your mission?"
"Be your orderly!"
"Oh!"
Zhang Chu nodded.
Oriole bird, right?
Okay, follow me!
First came to the military headquarters of the 86th Army.
The army commander Bai Huizhang came out with three regiment commanders to greet him. They had already received orders from the General Headquarters of the Army Group.
Knowing that Zhang Chu was in charge of commanding the battle, Bai Huizhang was very happy.
Because finally there is no need to worry about weapons and ammunition. Zhang Chu came, and the weapons and ammunition followed.
Don't be afraid of not. I'm afraid I won't run out.
"Adjutant Zhang!"
"Captain Bai!"
Simple courtesy, enter the war room.
After all, there is a war. Before you go to war, you have to do some research. Analyze the enemy situation.
Large military maps are hung on the walls. Clearly mark the deployment of troops on both sides.
The Japanese are red.
The national army is blue.
Looking at the map, red doesn't occupy much of an area. But it's all about the point. It's all about the economy.
Pingjin fell......
Songhu fell......
Jinling fell......
Hangzhou fell......
At present, the Japanese invaders are advancing rapidly in the direction of Hangzhou. Tried to attack in the direction of Huizhou, JDZ. Then outflank Xuancheng's back.
"Actually, there are not many garrisons in Wuhu."
"According to our reconnaissance, there is only one brigade stationed in Wuhu."
"The trouble is that there are a lot of Japanese criminals around Wuhu. Once Wuhu is attacked, the Japanese invaders in nearby Tongling and Ma'anshan will send reinforcements. ”
At the same time, the Japanese soldiers stationed in Jinling will also come to reinforce them. Eventually, it will turn into a protracted offensive and defensive war against Japan. ”
"The Japanese invaders are strong, and our army is insufficient. Difficult to last. ”
A brief introduction to the Chief of Staff.
Although it is a fish belly troop. But for the siege, I don't think it's too difficult.
The most difficult ones are in the back. How to wrap it up.
What should I do after I get in? Quitting again?
Isn't that for nothing?
It is certain that the losses of the siege are definitely smaller than the losses of the defenders.
To destroy a brigade of Japanese invaders stationed in Wuhu, the national army might have to pay 4,000 or 5,000 casualties. The casualty ratio is about 1:5.
This was due to the fact that the Japanese had the cover of naval guns.
Japanese warships could reinforce Wuhu at any time, and then bombard the national army with naval guns.
Under the cover of naval artillery, the casualties suffered by the national army could be very heavy.
"Adjutant Zhang!"
"Commander Fu!"
While talking, Fu Xiangnan also came.
Fu Xiangnan didn't come by himself. also with Jiang Chuwei.
Zhang Chu: ???
Hey? Jiang Chuwei? Isn't it the Shaanxi Army?
I was about to ask. Suddenly, I saw Bai Kenan. Oh, it turned out that the 23rd Army of the Shaanxi Army also joined the battle.
"Adjutant Zhang!"
"Adjutant Zhang!"
Ni Dong and Jiang Chuwei both greeted Zhang Chu.
Both of them are the main forces of their respective troops. also has a "special fate" with him Zhang Chu.
There is no doubt that if the battle is launched, the troops under their command will become Zhang Chu's "descendants". How the troops want to fight, they may directly obey Zhang Chu's orders.
"Commander Bai, send a telegram. Plain. ”
"Okay, you say the content."
"Let's just say that our army will counterattack Jinling on the same day, starting from Wuhu first."
"Clear?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Chu replied affirmatively.
That's right, it's deliberately letting the Japanese invaders know.
The national army is going to counterattack Jinling!
The national army is going to attack Wuhu!
How do you think the Japanese will judge? Is it to believe? Still not convinced?
Do you think that the national army is bluffing and attacking the west, or do you think that the national army will really do something to Wuhu?
The Japanese are expected to hesitate.
As long as the Japanese are hesitant, things will be easy to do.
If the Japanese did not hesitate. It doesn't matter. Just hit hard.
As long as the attention of the Japanese invaders is concentrated on Wuhu, then the Anqing side, the Japanese invaders will have no time to take care of it.
"Good!"
Bai Huizhang arranged for the chief of staff to invent the code telegraph.
Soon after, almost all the stations received. Plain-coded telegrams do not need to be translated, and the operator writes them directly.
Yu Chengwan: ???
What's the situation?
Counterattack on Jinling? Attack Wuhu?
It was actually sent by plain code telegram? I'm sure I'll be able to receive it too.
Who sent it?
How credible is it?
Li Tianxia: ???
Who is it? Actually invented the code telegraph?
Do you think the Japanese have no brains? How is it possible to believe such a thing?
Wang Yaowu: ???
All of them:???
It's all in a daze.
They all turned their heads to look at the map. Then they all shook their heads.
Foolish!
Counterattack Jinling!
How can it be so easy!
"Nani?"
"Plain telegram?"
Kenji Dohihara frowned.
Wuhu is not under his jurisdiction. However, it is closely related to him.
If the national army really counterattacked Jinling and attacked Wuhu, it would definitely affect the battle situation in Anqing. The reinforcements and supplies he needs may be withheld.
Now, he was feeling a little suffocating.
It's just that the torpedo boats that came out of nowhere blocked the downstream channel.
The reinforcements and supplies that went up the river from the direction of Jinling could not reach Anqing smoothly. Let the shadow begin to cast over the hearts of the Japanese invaders.
"It's a disguise!"
"They are going to cooperate with the battle of the Anqing side."
"Ignore it!"
Here, Matsui Ishine also made a quick judgment.
With such a trick by the Chinese, how could he be fooled?
Now the main force of the national army is around Anqing. What army to attack Wuhu?
Still counterattacking Jinling? What a joke!
"Your Excellency Nakasa......"
However, the Japanese soldiers stationed in Wuhu were a little nervous.
Because of the transfer of troops, the Japanese invaders stationed in Wuhu did indeed have only one brigade. The commander was Watanabe Nakasa.
After receiving the telegram in clear code, he did not dare to slack off. Hastily ordered the whole army to be on alert.
Whether it's true or not, others are coming for themselves.
Don't be unguarded......
"Report!"
Suddenly a soldier arrived, saying that the guerrillas who had discovered the Chinese at the front.
No military uniforms were worn. But there are guns. There are quite a few people.
The Japanese immediately launched a counterattack. The two sides exchanged fierce fire.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
The gunfire gradually intensified.
Watanabe frowned.
What's going on? How are the partisans on the field?
That's fine. Whoever it is, fight back first. So the order was given to fight back.
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
Infantry artillery and mortars began to fire.
Watanabe wasn't worried about running out of ammunition or anything. Logistics can be replenished from the Yangtze River, which is very convenient.
Even, if necessary, you can call in naval artillery support.
If there is a battleship coming......
After several successive bombardments, the guerrillas retreated.
The Japanese army counted losses. Seventeen soldiers were killed. The casualties were not too many.
However, to his dismay, when the Japanese went out in pursuit, they found that the guerrillas had not left a single corpse. They took all their slain companions with them.
What does this mean?
It shows that the casualties of the guerrillas were not large. There is still room to take the body away.
Out of sorts.
A guerrilla army actually fought to a tie with the Japanese army!
You must know that they belong to the Sixth Division! The Sixth Division has always felt that its combat effectiveness is first-class.
Outcome......
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, a cannonball fell.
Shells fell in the midst of the attacking Japanese team. Several people were killed in an instant.
"Yaga!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The rest of the Japanese were furious. Hit it now.
They also thought that the other side was a sporadic guerrilla. Determined to catch up and tear the other party apart completely.
However......
I only found out after rushing up......
Not partisans!
It's the regular army!
It is the regular army of the national army! That's a lot!
All kinds of firepower are available.
Thereupon......
"Da Da Da ......"
"Da Da Da ......"
Numerous heavy gunshots.
All kinds of submachine guns, all kinds of light machine guns, all of them were fiercely strafing.
Mortars didn't have a chance to exert their power.
All kinds of bullets completely covered the Japanese invaders.
In less than three minutes, a Japanese squad that went out to pursue was completely buried. Not even a single one escaped.
"Up!"
Ni Dong waved his hand inadvertently.
It's just a Japanese squad, it's too insignificant. It's just a squadron, and that's a piece of cake.
Now he is a strong soldier.
The Beida Battalion is now a regimental formation, or a special infantry regiment. There are four infantry battalions!
When it comes to firepower, it's definitely not bad.
With Zhang Chu's help, the Beida battalion was simply armed to the teeth.
If he didn't think that the 75mm mountain gun was too exaggerated, he would have prepared to build an artillery battalion!
"Up!"
Here, Jiang Chuwei also waved his hand.
The soldiers of the Shaanxi army swarmed forward. They are also armed to the teeth.
"Yaga!"
"The main force of the Chinese is really coming!"
"Yaga ......"
Watanabe started to get nervous.
He began to believe that the main force of the national army was really preparing to attack Wuhu.
No matter what the other party's purpose is, Wuhu is destined to become a stepping stone. He and his troops are destined to become cannon fodder.
Really......
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Dense shells fell.
Artillery of all calibers was deployed against the Japanese invaders.
Outside Wuhu City, more and more national army units have also appeared. This is the troops of the 86th Army and the 55th Army arriving one after another.
Wash the floor with artillery fire first.
There is no shortage of shells anyway.
Blow him up dozens of rounds first, and then blow up the Japanese prisoners unconscious.
75-mm mountain artillery ......
85-mm cannon ......
Full fire.
Hit as much as you want.
The infantry of the fish belly unit is weak, so it is better to be responsible for artillery.
It's always okay to shoot, right......
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The heavy artillery bombardment completely enveloped the Japanese positions.
Watanabe hid in the bunker and anxiously counted the time.
One minute......
Three-minute ......
Five minutes......
The shelling continues. It's starting to be a little desperate.
How is it that the shelling has not stopped?
Annoying......
How many shells are there in the Chinese army?
Ten minutes......
The shelling continues.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Dense shells fell, causing great casualties to the Japanese invaders.
No matter how the Japanese dodge, it was impossible to avoid all the shells. The ones built in Wuhu are all field fortifications. There is no reinforced concrete.
What does it mean to have no reinforced concrete?
It means that as long as the density of the shells is sufficient, repeated bombardment, it can be exploded.
"Put!"
"Put!"
Bai Huizhang and Bai Kainan both personally commanded the artillery shooting.
Without him, he just wants to boost his morale. Boost your self-confidence. None of them are too confident themselves.
Shells were coming in a steady stream.
It's all trucked. Truckload after truck, truckload after truck, never stopping.
The artillerymen threw the shells as far as they could. Otherwise, there will be no place to pile up. The number of shell shells is simply too many.
"It's all copper......
"Very valuable......
Bai Kainan and Bai Huizhang talked to themselves.
So many shells! It's all made of copper. If you put it in ancient times, this is money!
Even now, so much copper can be sold for a lot of money.
We in China have always been short of copper. Otherwise, copper would not have become a currency either.
"It's amazing......"
"What an exaggeration......"
On the front line, the soldiers of the national army stood up, as if they were watching a grand fireworks display.
The shelling was too intense. Isn't it like a grand fireworks show?
It's not nighttime though. However, the smoke from the explosion was already completely blocking out the sunlight. You can't see sunlight at all. Only the light of the fire from the explosion could be seen.
"No more......"
"No more......"
Watanabe's heart sank desperately.
If this continues, there will be no need for the Chinese army to attack, and they will all be killed by artillery fire.
Urgent tactical guidance must be requested.
You must send a report and ask your superiors for help.
"Yaga!"
"This is a suspicious tactic of the Chinese!"
"Coward!"
As a result, he was reprimanded by Wing Captain Yoshiharu Takeshita.
In Takeshita's view, it was definitely Watanabe who was lying.
What to say about the fierce artillery fire of the Chinese!
Around Wuhu, where did the main force of the Chinese army come from?
The Sichuan Army, which was very capable of fighting before, was on the front line of Guangde and Langxi, and was confronting Yanagawa Heisuke.
It is impossible to transfer to Wuhu.
"Nani?"
"Yaga!"
Watanabe's spirit breakdown!
I feel like my superiors are all pigs' heads!
You don't believe such fierce artillery fire!
Yaga!
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Heavy artillery fire continued. The casualties of the Japanese invaders were increasing.
The remaining Japanese invaders are determined to launch a suicidal charge.
They would rather die in battle than be shattered alive by shells.
It's so uncomfortable.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The remnants of the Japanese invaders frantically launched an attack.
Among them is Watanabe himself. However, he had barely stood up when he was shattered by a shell.
"The Japanese are coming!"
"The Japanese are coming!"
The soldiers of the Nationalist army on the front line immediately noticed the movement of the Japanese invaders.
There was no fear in the slightest.
The Japanese invaders are bombed, and the ghosts are not ghosts, what else do you need to be afraid of?
"Da Da Da ......"
"Da Da Da ......"
All kinds of firepower poured down.
After a while, all the Japanese were killed.
"Up!"
Ni Dong gave an order. Kill with the soldiers of the North Battalion.
Like a gust of wind, they rushed into Wuhu.
The shelling stopped.
The battlefield was still pitch black.
The thick smoke of gunpowder was suffocating.
"Ahem......"
"Ahem......"
A large number of personnel coughed.
Still, everyone was excited. Because, they have conquered Wuhu!
It's a charge, take Wuhu directly!
"Nani?"
"Wuhu lost contact?"
Yoshiharu Takeshita was taken aback.
What's going on?
It's only been a few minutes, and it's actually ......
Don't dare to slack off. Hurriedly reported to the division commander Toshio Tani.
