Commander Kong of the Cavalry Regiment rode forward, trying to quickly eliminate the remaining enemies, but he still turned his head and said, "Old Zhu, remember to invite me to drink. {http:

When Zhu Ming saw Captain Kong's eyes shining when he heard that there was wine, he laughed and said, "Old Kong, why are you so long-winded now? Don't worry, I will remember this wine carefully. Then we will stop drunk."

"Okay, please feel free!" Captain Kong also shouted, then rode his horse to the distance. In just a few minutes, he took the sabre of cold light in his hand and opened the heads of the three Japanese.

When Commander Kong of the Cavalry Regiment left, Commander Zhu glanced at the battlefield and saw that the battlefield was basically full of his own people. The Japanese were basically wiped out. Only a few Japanese were still gathering together in groups of three or three to try to resist, but around these Japanese, many of their own soldiers were surrounded.

Zhu Ming, the commander of the 612th Regiment, immediately walked to his temporary command center in the distance and ordered the correspondent to send a report to the Yichang command center immediately, saying that the Cavalry Regiment has now joined forces with the 612th Regiment. Although the 612th Regiment has suffered a great loss now, the 612th Regiment must stick to its position to prevent the Japanese from escaping from the east.

Seeing Zhu Ming, the commander of the 612th Regiment who had sent the telegram, he let out a long sigh of relief at this time. The hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese was so thrilling. Fortunately, there was timely reinforcements from the Cavalry regiment.

Now the position is still in the hands of its 612th Regiment, and there are reinforcements from the cavalry regiment. I believe that the 613th Regiment that continues to reinforce will arrive soon. At that time, this blocking position will be solid.

The blocking position of the 612th Regiment to the east was very fierce and thrilling. To the west of the Botas United, the Third Infantry Division of the 36th Army had already left Jingzhou City for several kilometers.

The soldiers listened to the fierce gunfire sound in front of them and knew that the 59th Army's blocking troops must have had a fire with the Japanese, and the Botian Detachment was right in front of them. Commander Chen from the Third Infantry Division was both happy and anxious. What was happy was that the Japanese's large troops were right in front of them, and what was anxious was that the comrades of the 59th Army took the lead.

"Comrades, speed up, the Japanese are right in front of you." Commander Chen, who was slightly anxious in his heart, immediately shouted to his troops.

With Chen Erwa's order, the soldiers marched quickly and many soldiers even trotted. But everyone didn't run for long. {http:

At this time, Chen Erwa also saw the Japanese in front of him. The Japanese troops were only about one thousand meters away from their troops, so Commander Chen immediately ordered: "Comrades, everyone stop marching and set off the battle formation."

More than 20,000 soldiers from the Third Infantry Division stopped marching urgently. They pulled up a defense line that lasted several kilometers to prevent the Japanese from escaping. The Japanese opposite saw a large number of Chinese teams appearing in the west, and immediately seemed a little panicked. A Japanese colonel immediately ordered the correspondents to ride a horse to inform his detachment leader.

Hatan Shigeichi's face looked very ugly and his mood was very bad. Seeing that the Second Infantry Regiment was about to break through the defense line of the Central ** team in the east, he didn't expect to suddenly break out a Chinese cavalry unit, causing the entire Second Infantry Regiment to be broken.

Just as Hatan Shigeichi was feeling uncomfortable and had nowhere to vent his nameless anger, a Japanese correspondent rushed over on a war horse. Not far from Hatan Shigeichi, the Japanese hurriedly dismounted and walked to Hatan Shigeichi a few steps, stood at attention and reported anxiously: "Your Excellency Commander, there are a large number of Chinese teams in the west, with more than 20,000 people. Look at the costumes, it may be the troops of the 36th Army."

"Baga, why is it the 36th Army again?" Hatan Shigeichi was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped the Japanese correspondent soldier loudly.

Although the Japanese correspondent soldier was beaten, he didn't care about his slightly swollen cheeks. Instead, he immediately stood at attention, bowed his head and said, "Hi, Commander, the news is very true."

As soon as the Japanese Agents reported, several Japanese Agents came. These Japanese Agents hurriedly walked to Hatan Shigeichi, and after standing attentive, he said anxiously: "Your Excellency Commander, there are a large number of Chinese-** teams in the south and north, and the number is estimated to be tens of thousands."

After hearing bad news continuously, Shigeichi Hatan, who was in an extremely bad mood, felt a sense of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger. His eyes turned black and he fell straight to the ground.

The Japanese Chief of Staff next to him fainted when he saw his detachment leader, he also "smart and quick-witted". He held Hatan Shiichi and shook Hatan Shiichi's body vigorously, and said anxiously: "Lieutenant General, Lieutenant General, wake up,..."

Finally, Hatan Shigeichi woke up slowly. Hatan Shigeichi, whose face was a little pale, looked at the Japanese commanders coming up around him and said weakly: "Order the troops to defend on the spot, and send a report to Wuhan to request tactical guidance."

At this time, the surrounding team had completely surrounded it, forming a huge encirclement, surrounding the Hatan Detachment, which had 7,000 or 8,000 people left, within an area of ​​only a dozen square kilometers.

On the position of the Third Infantry Division, the division commander Chen Erwa held a telescope and watched carefully the movement of the Japanese in the distance. He saw that the Japanese were also building simple fortifications, and some Japanese were digging trenches with their butts raised.

Seeing that the terrain was flat and the Japanese had basically no fortifications, Commander Chen hurriedly said to the correspondent next to him: "Send a report to the artillery regiment immediately and ask the artillery regiment how long it will take to build a good artillery position?"

"Yes, Chief, I'll send a report immediately." The communication soldier immediately turned around and sent a report to the artillery regiment. Not long after, the communication soldier returned and said to Chen Erwa: "Chief, the artillery regiment will start shelling in twenty minutes."

"Okay, I'll send a report to the artillery regiment immediately. Twenty minutes later, the bombardment of the Hatan Detachment will take half an hour." Commander Chen immediately ordered. In such a flat place, there were no effective fortifications, and the 105mm howitzer shelling was enough for the Japanese to suffer.

At this time, the artillery regiment's position was almost ready. 72 105mm howitzers had been aimed at the Hatan Detachment several kilometers away. The artillery soldiers were just doing the final proofreading work, striving to shoot more accurately.

The artillery commander looked at his watch and it was almost 4:30 in the afternoon, so he immediately ordered: "Comrades, be prepared, start shelling the Japanese at 4:30, and the shelling time is half an hour."

The soldiers of the artillery regiment were very happy when they heard the order. Today was really enjoyable. They had two consecutive shells, and each cannon would have hundreds of shells. The shelling of a few hours ago caused considerable casualties to the Japanese. The effect of this shelling should be good.

The artillery regiment commander saw that it was already half past four, and immediately shouted loudly: "Fire the cannon!"

72 howitzers began to fire one after another, and deafening sounds of artillery fire sounded on the positions of the entire artillery regiment. Each cannon made a deafening roar. In the sky, shells, with sharp roars, drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew towards the Hatan Detachment in the distance.

Shigeichi Hatan, who had just woken up from his fainting, had not yet fully recovered. He felt his head still drowsy. Suddenly, a large whistling sound came from the sky. Shigeichi Hatan secretly shouted in his heart, "No, it's a large-scale shelling of the Chinese team."

Before Hatan Shigeichi had time to react, a large number of shells in the sky smashed down, and exploded not far from Hatan Shigeichi, making a shocking explosion. Hatan Shigeichi, who was at least two or three hundred meters away from the explosion site, felt the shock waves generated by the explosion.

The Japanese at the center of the explosion were directly blown into pieces by the powerful explosion. The Japanese were flying in the sky with their broken limbs and arms. Many Japanese at the edge of the explosion were also bleeded by the slightest or hit by shrapnel produced by the explosion. They lay on the ground with blood, while the Japanese who had no dead breath were lying on the ground wailing.

A Japanese truck in the distance was directly hit by a 105mm grenade. The violent explosion blew the truck apart. Some truck parts were blown away, and the Japanese on the truck were directly killed.

Hatan Shigeichi saw this scene and immediately broke his heart and almost fainted again.

On the position of the Third Infantry Division, the soldiers saw their artillery showing their power, blowing the Japanese devils to death and wounding everywhere. More Japanese devils ran around in the explosion. The soldiers seemed very happy. Many people thought to themselves, Japanese devils, you have today too.

The soldiers of the 59th Army saw that the artillery regiment of the Third Infantry Division achieved good artillery results, and the mortars and Type 92 infantry artillery of the 59th Army also began to shoot. At this time, the Japanese were basically without heavy weapons and their fortifications were simple, so even small-caliber mortars and Type 92 infantry artillery caused considerable casualties to the Japanese.

Yichang, the 59th Army Command.

Zhang Yunfei and Zhang Zizhong, who received the telegram, looked at each other and smiled. The cavalry regiment finally arrived in time and together with the 612th regiment, wiped out a Japanese corps that rushed to the position. The other troops had basically completed the siege of Japanese.

Zhang Zizhong's face was filled with joy. This battle was so exciting. His old rival, Hata Detachment, has become a turtle in the jar at this moment. It will be sooner or later to destroy it.

Zhang Yunfei looked at Zhang Zizhong and said with a smile: "Brother, Hatan Shigeichi is now surrounded by us. I guess he is in panic all day long. I think the Japanese are also unbearable to bear the bombardment of 72 105mm howitzers in our artillery regiment." (To be continued...)
