Chapter 8 The Betrayal Section 8 The Restoration of Wuhan (5)
Zhuang Jihua didn't say anything, nor did he show a look of surprise. His eyes stared at the roof without waves. He Wei was worried and didn't know what he meant.
"Order Song Xilian to rectify the troops immediately and go north immediately. The 78th Army moved to the Yangjiashan line east of Yangzi, and the Eighth Army moved to the Shizikou. In addition, he telegraphed Deng Xihou that the recruited reserve soldiers immediately left Sichuan and ordered the rescue committee to rescue the committee, and the public mobilization committee to immediately recruit 50,000 new soldiers."
After saying that, Zhuang Jihua turned over and prepared to continue sleeping, but He Wei added: "The 95th Division is still extinguishing the remaining enemies."
"The Ninety-Fifth Division stayed in Jingshan." Zhuang Jihua's body did not change at all. He Wei turned around and left. Wu Ziniu hesitated: "Commander, Yun Fei has something to talk to you."
"Have he got something wrong?" Zhuang Jihua sat up in surprise. Song Yunfei was the one he regarded as a brother. He could enter and exit his study at will. If he saw him, he could come over at any time, and there was no need for Wu Ziniu to inform him.
Wu Ziniu said bitterly: "I have persuaded you, but I can't help you. You should talk to him."
Zhuang Jihua looked serious and shouted to the outside, "Yun Fei, come in, what are you doing when you hide outside?"
Song Yunfei pushed the door and walked in. Zhuang Jihua looked him up and down, and then asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Commander, Han Jie died, I want to go to the special forces."
"No, you can stay honest with me, don't think about anything." Zhuang Jihua blurted out without thinking.
"Commander," Song Yunfei was a little anxious, his voice a little louder. Wu Ziniu winked him. He then realized and changed his tone: "Cultural Revolution, I know that Hanjie's affairs make you very sad, but the special forces need an experienced commander, which must be in our hands, and I am the most suitable candidate."
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't agree. Go out, I want to rest now." After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he lay down again. Wu Ziniu and Song Yunfei exchanged glances. Wu Ziniu's eyes were a hint of satisfaction, but Song Yunfei's eyes were a hint of helplessness.
Jingshan was lost and the entire 58th Division was destroyed, making Anan Weiji feel like he was struck by lightning. The entire headquarters was silent for that moment, and all the officers stared at Anan Weiji blankly.
"Tell Kanda and Uchiyama this situation." Anan Weiji calmed down and said in a slow tone. Kinoshita Yuki hurriedly signaled to let the staff go and handle it. A sense of sadness enveloped the war room. Everyone felt that Kanda might not be able to come back.
The Chinese general was slowly and steadily shrinking the rope step by step. He was extremely calm and cruel. He did not kill his prey immediately, but played with them cruelly, watching them running around in the trap, looking for a gap to escape, which did not exist. The prey was bleeding and waiting for the last knife to fall, but this cruel person was reluctant to drop that knife. He must play with it enough. The prey was completely desperate and completely collapsed, and this knife would fall.
Anan Weiji woke up and was completely awake. This battle was completely a conspiracy of the Chinese general. He used the spies in the war zone to deliberately show weakness. Yin himself arranged troops and attacked according to his wishes. This battle was a trap from beginning to end. It was ridiculous that he also saw through his deployment cleverly and jumped in without regrets.
"Order Uchiyama to join Kanda as soon as possible." Anan Wei said after pondering for a moment: "Please limit Fengshima to conquer Wusheng Pass within two days and withdraw from Xinyang. Order the 104th Division to temporarily stop advancing westward and retreat to Anlu. If the Sixty Army does not pursue, go north to defeat the Thirty-Three Army, and then continue north to go north to meet the Third Division to go south. If the Sixty Army pursues the Sixty Army, it will attract the Sixty Army to the east and develop to the Pinghan Line."
"The order shall be made up of the Major General of the CPC, which shall be under the command of the 68th Division, the 61, 62, 63, 64th brigades, Ishikawa Brigade, Yoshikawa Brigade, and Liu Xiang Brigade. Let's set out immediately and order to capture Jingshan before sunset tomorrow."
Kinoshita Yuki drafted the order silently. The four brigades led by Imakura and the two brigades of Ishikawa Yoshikawa, the brigade of Ishikawa Yoshikawa, had gathered in Yingcheng, and the Liuxiang brigade was the vanguard of the 116th Division. He had already seen that Anan Weiji's deployment contained two meanings. Imakura rescued Kanda, but if the encirclement could not be opened, it would attract the Sixty and Thirty-Three Army from the main battlefield. The task of rescue Kanda was completed by Imakura.
Anan Weiji's deployment made Kinoshita Yong a little worried. In this way, Wuhan can still be regarded as an empty city. The Chinese army heading north of the Nine War Zone conquered Tingsi Bridge, and Aoki Seiichi established a blocking position at Hesheng Bridge, and was struggling to block the Chinese army, which had superior military power and firepower. But what about the Chinese army heading east along the Yangtze River?
The person responsible for blocking these Chinese troops was the West Hubei ** Guard Team. This unit was organized by a corps of about 3,000 people, scattered all over the place, and the commander was Colonel Changshang. After being attacked, Changshang quickly retreated, abandoned Huarong, Jianli, and Qianjiang, and concentrated the troops to Xiantao. Now if Changshang cannot defend Xiantao, the Chinese troops will attack Wuhan.
In addition, the Third War Zone was launching an attack on Nanchang, and the number of Chinese troops had been found to have 200,000. The outer defense line of Nanchang was in full swing, and the Chinese troops launched an attack from all sides, and the Xishan northwest of Nanchang had been lost. In addition, an army of the 32nd Army went north to conquer Yongxiu and cut off the Nanxun line.
The entire war zone was fighting fiercely, and the entire war zone was in danger. However, there was no water to put out the fire, and no pillars to support the situation of about to collapse.
"Your Excellency, do you want to leave two brigades to guard Wuhan?" Kinoshita reminded that there are only more than 2,000 garrisons in the three towns of Wuhan. Even if the army team composed of overseas Chinese was installed, there are only more than 7,000 people; the others are the puppet army, the 13th Army of the Wuhan Pacification Army, with a total force of more than 8,000, but these puppet troops are still unreliable.
"No." Anan Wei shook his head expressionlessly. He knew very well that the most important thing now was to save Kanda. The Chinese army could not capture Wuhan for the time being: "Tele to Changban that he must guard Xiantao and Aoki, and must guard He Shengqiao. In addition, please ask Commander Li Baolian to come to the headquarters and send two arts to entertain him, and don't let him go back."
Kinoshita Yuki understood that Li Baolian was the commander of the 13th Army of the puppet army. The 13th Army had two divisions, with a total force of more than 8,000. Li Baolian's two sworn brothers served as the commander. Therefore, as long as Li Baolian is in the headquarters, he will not be afraid of their rebellion.
Before dawn, He Wei woke Zhuang Jihua again, and this time the 13th Division appeared. After Uchiyama Hidetaro ambushed the Yicheng Security Brigade, he made a move westward, then quietly headed south, passing through the Chongshan west of Liushui Town, and north of Changshou Town, the 11th Brigade of the 6th Division of the 45th Army also rushed to Changshou Town from the west.
"Changshou Town?" Zhuang Jihua rushed to the war room and looked at the map very strangely, with a very strange expression.
Xu Zuyi nodded silently. Kanda was beyond their expectations. Not only did he not go south, but he went westward and attacked Changshou.
"Changshou has only one 125th Division. Should the 126th Division and the 127th Division be transferred to reinforce?" Xu Zuyi's tone contained concerns.
"It is enough to transfer the 126th Division. Just block Kanda for two days and you can arrive at seventy-eight days." He Wei suggested.
Zhuang Jihua thought about it and shook his head and said, "When the 126th Division moves, the line on Miaokanzi will be a little empty, and the defense line of the 127th Division is too long. It will take at least one day for the 78th Army to arrive, so this aspect will be empty."
"In the Cultural Revolution, Changshou could not be defended, so the 13th Division would be in harmony with Kanda, and the 125th Division could not defend Changshou." Xu Zuyi's tone was firm.
"It doesn't matter if we meet. Kanda goes northwest, which is not reasonable, so I think his purpose is to mobilize our army and cause loopholes in our defense line, so we don't move," Zhuang Jihua's finger moved on the map, and finally stopped in Changshou Town: "I ordered the 125th Division to sluggishly and restrain Kanda and the 13th Division. If I can't stand it, I can retreat to the Huangpo area, the south bank of the Changshou River, and establish a position there."
"Order the 101 Army to advance west immediately, from Xiaojinpo and Gaomiao Muya to attack Changshou."
"Order the 86th Army and the 94th Army to bite the 17th Division, and order the 102nd Army, the 41st Army and the 36th Division to turn defense into offensives, and cut off the 17th Division and the 6th Division."
"Order the 78th Army to move to the Dongwan line of Zhangjiapo overnight, and order the Eighth Army to go north immediately, to Qingshuigang and Jiuling line to stand by."
As the 13th Division appeared on the battlefield, the last hidden danger was completely eliminated. Zhuang Jihua did not hesitate anymore, and immediately adjusted his deployment, mobilized his troops, and launched a siege on Kanda.
The war begins to enter the acceleration track.
On the northern line, Toshima Toshima Yataro gradually adjusted his deployment. Major General Tang Shinse led the Fifth Brigade south, launched an attack on Wusheng Pass, and launched a fierce battle with the 31st Army. Li Pinxian took advantage of the Fifth Brigade south and commanded the Seventh Army to capture Pingqiao and threatened Xinyang's back. Sun Lianzhong commanded the 40th Army and the 55th Army to attack continuously and approach Xinyang.
On the southern front, in the sky, fighter planes soared, on the ground, iron armor was everywhere, He Sheng’s bridgehead was filled with smoke, fires soared into the sky, the squadron attacked like a tide, Qingmu Cheng went into battle bare-shirt, gritted his teeth and fought hard.
On the western front, under Xiantao City, the sound of cannons roared. The Forty-Fourth Army and the Seventy-Three Army surrounded Xiantao, day and night, and attacked fiercely. Changban was covered in blood and fought to the death without retreating. Wang Jingjiu personally led the 11th Army to bypass Xiantao and attacked Huanglingji. Jinzhong troops, who were rushing to Yingcheng, hurried back to defense and occupied Huanglingji before Wang Jingjiu. Wang Jingjiu immediately launched an attack.
At the center of the entire battle situation, outside Zhongxiang City, aircraft, cannons, tanks, and armored vehicles attacked the Japanese defense line in turn. The 86th Army and the 94th Army were stalked by the 17th Division, the 102nd Army and the 36th Division rushed down Dechun Mountain, broke into the depths of the 17th Division, and the 41st Army turned defense into offense, fought fiercely with the 17th Division in Fengjiawan and Tangjiaxiang.
