Japanese people never expected that the enemy would fall from the sky. When they heard the sound of a large number of planes coming in the early morning, the Japanese soldiers under Yicheng thought it was their own plane, so they neglected their defense.

This cannot be blamed on these Japanese soldiers who have been fighting for several days. On the one hand, they are too tired and have exhausted both physically and mentally when fighting the siege. On the other hand, since invading China, the planes accumulated by the State Government have been exhausted before the war. China has never gained air supremacy in previous battles, and would not have thought that Wu Siren still held the paratrooper in his hand.

With the internal and external attacks, and the subsequent air combat bombers of the Tax Police Corps came to assist in the war, the 13th and 39th Divisions of the Japanese finally collapsed.

This is destined to be a long and bloody dawn!

Jinling, the headquarters of the Japanese Chinese Expeditionary Army.

"General, our 13,39th Division suffered major losses in Yicheng. China mobilized a paratrooper unit to raid the division command center. In addition, the counterattack of the Chinese army in Yicheng caused the two divisions to be defeated."

Nishio Suzuo frowned tightly as he listened to the secretary's report beside him, and his face looked very ugly. You know that he was about to return to Edo to report his work. This time, such a big failure would have almost devastating the blow to his future.

"Kun Gangmura, it seems that our battle against Zao Yi has gone bankrupt, and we should immediately order the 11th Army to evacuate." Nishio Shouzuo said: "I will bear all the responsibility for this failure!"

The combat plan for attacking Yiling by Gangmura was very smooth this time. As he was about to reach the battle goal, he didn't expect that Wu Siren would appear!

Over the years, the Japanese have suffered too much in Wu Siren. Many Japanese generals even believed that if they had not had Wu Siren, they might have occupied the entire China now. The Japanese hated and feared Wu Siren, and they almost used all the means to buy and assassinate them. Unfortunately, Wu Siren still stood firm.

"Commander, I don't think the 11th Army can be retreated. Since we have suffered a great loss in Wu Siren's tax police regiment, we need to find it back from other Chinese troops. It is not time to decide the outcome of this battle." Gangmura Yanji said.

"Since Kazumi-kun has the means to turn defeat into victory, I will take a gamble with you." Nishio Shouzuo stood up and came to the balcony window. There was only a small garden downstairs, and the flowers were in anger!

Nishio Suzuo's old devil didn't want to leave with failure. If the result of this battle was acceptable, his career would be smoother after returning to Edo.

"Da da da da da da da da!" The sound of mp40 submachine guns kept ringing, and the officers and soldiers who broke out of the Japanese command twisted their bodies and screamed, falling into pools of blood one by one. "Damn it! The Japanese are really stubborn, and they have sacrificed so many brothers for us." Liu Liguang said angrily.

Now, the sky outside was completely bright, and war reports were also heard from Hu Boyu's hands. This time, the command of the 13th and 39th Divisions of the Japanese were destroyed. Except for a few, most of the two divisions were wiped out. Preliminary statistics show that a total of more than 15,000 Japanese were eliminated.

Our side suffered great losses. More than 200 paratroopers were killed. Hu Boyu and Zhang Xuchen's troops together died in battle. The mountain division in Hu Boyu's hands was better, with less than 3,000 casualties, but it also made him feel heartbroken.

This result surprised Zhang Xuchen very much. At the same time, he was also glad that he had been the player who had been in Wu Siren before the battle, otherwise the result would have been extremely painful. Of course, Zhang Xuchen would not have known that Yuan Shishi became a martyr in this battle and also became the highest-ranking general in the history of the Anti-Japanese War!

Luoyi, Wu Siren's office.

"It's dawn now, and the result of the Battle of Yicheng is coming." Wu Siren said: "I wonder how many brothers have sacrificed their lives for the country in this battle. Is Hu Boyu's battle report here?"

Of course Chen Ziliang knew what Wu Siren was worried about.

This battle was the first time that paratroopers were used in actual combat, and no one took me. Wu Siren cooperated with me based on his trust in Hu Boyu.

At this moment, the communication soldier stumbled and ran in.

"Commander, great victory! We won!"

Chen Ziliang grabbed the telegram, took a quick look, and said happily: "Okay! Hu Boyu fought beautifully in this battle and showed the appearance of our tax police corps."

"It seems that we won the bet this time, and the paratroopers did not disappoint our expectations." Wu Siren said: "When Hu Boyu and the others come back, I will hold a banquet to celebrate their merits."

"Commander, Bo Yu has also reported the casualties." Chen Ziliang said heavily: "Nearly half of the first battalion of the paratroopers have died, and the mountain division has also killed more than 2,000 people again. This time, a division's brother was sacrificed before and after we went to fight the tax police regiment."

Wu Siren shook his body for a while, and then stood for a long time before saying, "Chief of Staff, I will hand over the funeral of the brothers to you. The pension must be in place. We cannot make the souls of the dead brothers uneasy. As long as I, Wu Siren, don't die, I will support their wives and daughters for the rest of my life."

After the news of the great victory in Yicheng reached the mountain city, Chang Kaishen immediately attracted Dai Chunfeng.

"Yu Nong, what do you think I'll transfer Hu Boyu to the Central Military Commission? This powerful general was buried under Moran's hands." Chang Kaishen asked.

Dai Chunfeng said with a frown: "Principal, although Hu Boyu is from Huangpu, he agrees with Moran more. And as far as I know, the families of generals at or above the tax police battalion level were sent to North America. It is difficult for us to recruit Hu Boyu, who made Moran his mentor!"

I was careless. If I had known that Moran had the ability to know people, I would not have let go when he wanted to call Qiu Yu'an, Fang Zishan, Hu Boyu and others." Chang Kaishen sighed

"Principal, how should we respond to this good news?"

"Yan Ji, I plan to report that Zhang Xuchen will be promoted to a first-level general of the Military Commission, and rewarded 2,000 Oceans, and promoted Hu Boyu to a second-level general of the Military Commission, and rewarded 5,000 Oceans. At the same time, I sent a report to Moran and asked if he could help the government train a group of paratroopers?"

Chang Kaishen gave Wu Siren his eyes, but the Japanese devils were not idle.

On the evening of May 31, the 6th Division of the 11th Army of Japan bombed the west bank of the Han River for an hour and a half, and then crossed the Han River from Wangji north of Yicheng. At 24:00 on the same day, the 3rd Division also began to cross the river in the southeast of Xiangyang. Neither of the two divisions was strongly resisted and the crossing of the river was completed before dawn. The 11th Army Command ordered the 40th Division to retain Dahongshan for a "sweeping" to ensure the rear, and the Ogawa Detachment and the Cangqiao Detachment were also used as the warning of the mobile station.

The General Staff of the State Government estimated that the Japanese army would not continue to attack Yichang after being defeated in Yicheng. Even if one of them attacked west of Xianghe, it would only be a feint. Therefore, during the first phase of the battle, most of the main forces of the 22nd Army and the Jiang Defense Army, which served as the garrison of Hexi, were transferred to Hedong, so that the troops in Hexi were empty and there was no plan to fight in Hexi. Not only did Yuan'an, Nanzhang and other counties have no defense, but Yichang's defense forces were also very small. After discovering that the Japanese army crossed the Han River west, the left corps (east of Xianghe) was commanded by the commander-in-chief of the theater Li Delin.

2. The 31st Army and the 68th Army attacked Xianghua Road, Jingzhong Road and Hanyi Road rear of the Japanese army, cut off their supply liaison, and used powerful troops to attack Xiangyang and Yicheng to attack the Dongying Army Crossing the River between Yicheng to support the battle of the Right Corps. The Right Corps was commanded by Chen Cixiu, Minister of the Political Department of the Military Commission, to ensure Yichang as its main task. At the same time, it was also decided that the 75th and 94th Army quickly rushed back to the east of the Han River to return the Jiangdian Army to the west of the Han River to return the Jiangdian Army. The 18th Army, which was being trained in Sichuan, was transported to Yichang as a garrison.
