Chapter 422 Go to support the operation (Chapter 2 is here today)
Xia Jiong, the commander of the 134th Division headquarters, woke up from his sleep as soon as he heard the sudden burst of gunfire and the indiscriminate bombardment of Japanese aircraft.
His headquarters was not set up in Anqing City, but in a hidden area on the periphery, just to prevent it from being bombed by Japanese air raids.
Therefore, his deployment can be regarded as saving the lives of most of the officers in his command.
"It's not good! Military seat!~"
"The Japs' aviation force came in the rainy weather to conduct bombings. I don't know when, but the Japs' troops have lurked outside our Anqing city and are conducting an attack!"
"The Japanese navy has also begun shelling. They are bombarding all the defense lines of our 134th Division with naval artillery and carrier-based aircraft groups!"
When the division commander Xia Jiong, who was awakened by the fighting, was quickly picking up his weapons and equipment and preparing to go out and summon all the officers to fight the incoming Japanese troops,
A communications officer named Xia Mandun ran up to him with sweating profusely and a panic-stricken look on his face, panting and reporting.
"Damn devil!"
"What's the situation with the troops of the 133rd Division and the 135th Division? Have they come to the rescue immediately?"
Division Commander Xia Jiong immediately roared angrily.
As the deputy commander of the 134th Division and the 20th Army, he still has a bit of majesty and power.
So when he heard about the incoming Japanese troops, not only the Japanese planes, but also the navy and army troops were coming to make a sneak attack, he immediately thought of finding reinforcements to support him.
Otherwise, his 134th Division alone would not be able to cope with the increasing number of Japanese attacks from the army, land and sea.
Anqing cannot throw it away casually,
So he must hold on.
"Their contact has not been connected yet. I wonder if the Japanese have cut off our wires and we are unable to communicate!"
Hearing this, communications officer Xia Man immediately responded with a heavy heart.
"Send me the cavalry immediately. Hurry up and notify the Jansen Military Base, as well as the 133rd Division, and the troops of the 135th Division to be ready for combat at any time, and immediately dispatch some troops to provide support. Anqing cannot be lost!"
After hearing such bad news, division commander Xia Jiong thought quickly in his mind and decisively issued a series of orders.
"Yes! Military seat!"
As soon as Xia Jiong, the deputy commander of the division, finished speaking, communications officer Xia Man quickly agreed.
Then he hurriedly followed the instructions.
After watching communications officer Xia Man leave, he quickly issued a series of orders to the officers around him to fight against the Japanese attack.
In an instant, the entire 134th Division troops took action quickly.
At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, forcing the Japanese aircraft group to evacuate.
But they have also dropped a lot of aerial bombs for bombing.
It also killed and injured many Sichuan officers and soldiers of the 134th Division who were defending Anqing City.
As for the Japanese army's offensive mode, it was still the same old routine. It first used aircraft groups to conduct bombing rounds, then used heavy artillery groups to concentrate powerful firepower for carpet-style bombardment, and finally launched an infantry charge attack.

.......
At this time, Li Jingang, who had just parted with Sun Lianzhong, the commander of the Third Corps, and stationed his troops at his designated station, also quickly received the news that Anqing was being attacked by the Japanese army, navy and air force.
Condition.
This was an encrypted telegram sent by him to the intelligence agent deployed in Anqing under Liu Feiyang's instructions.
"Tuan Zuo! It's really amazing! He actually guessed that the Japanese would attack Anqing today!"
"Fortunately, I followed his instructions!"
After reading this urgent telegram, Li Jingang also sighed.
However, he was also very happy that he had always followed Liu Feiyang's deployment. After he arrived at the station in the fifth theater, he also divided his troops and asked another group of C-130 transport aircraft to transport a regiment of troops towards Anqing.
Fly to the Dongjiao Airport.
And that side had already received instructions that a transport plane would arrive, so the 20th Army also dispatched some troops to assist in the landing.
As for the airborne ground crew, Commander Bai and Commander Li had prepared them in advance.
But they didn't know that the regiment sent by Liu Feiyang was one of the main forces, and it was equipped with new weapons and equipment, as well as bulletproof vests and bulletproof helmets.
"Design the troops to me, supply Commander Bai and Commander Li to our troops, and take away a regiment of troops. I will immediately take the transport plane to take off to support the battle on the Anqing side!"
"The remaining troops should be settled here for me to reorganize, change equipment, and make defensive arrangements!"
"The military power here will be temporarily handed over to deputy commander Lin Yongbo for command!"
"You are here waiting for the captain to arrive. He will come to you on a transport plane soon and arrange your combat missions! All of you, please behave well, otherwise the captain will see that I am not here.
If the troops lose face, I will definitely punish you when I come back!"
"At least you can't run away from a lot of physical military training!"
However, after reading the telegram, Li Jingang immediately continued to issue orders.
Because it was necessary for him to accept Liu Feiyang's order this time, at least to severely damage a Japanese regiment on the Anqing side, and preferably to cripple half of the Botian detachment.
This was the order given by Liu Feiyang when he came here.
"Yes! Tuanzuo!"
When Li Jingang, who had been promoted by Liu Feiyang as deputy commander, gave the order, all the officers around him quickly nodded in agreement.
So soon, the military power here was handed over to Lin Yongbo, another deputy commander who was also quickly promoted by Liu Feiyang, and took over.
The deputy commander Lin Yongbo also quickly took action to replace all the troops supplied by Commander Li and Commander Bai with new weapons and equipment.
And it also started to reorganize, break up, reorganize, and reorganize.
Although time is limited, we still have to do this because the next battle to kill the Japanese will be fierce.
The Japanese troops attacking this time were the largest since the War of Resistance Against Japan. Compared with the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Capital City, there were more Japanese troops. Even the Japanese troops in the just-concluded Battle of Xuzhou were not as large as the Japanese troops attacking this time.
There are many troops.
Therefore, Liu Feiyang didn't know how many of the troops he brought this time would survive, including himself, and he didn't know if they would survive.
As for why he took the initiative to attack Anqing without the chairman of the committee dispatching him to serve as a fire brigade, it was because he wanted to continuously distract the Japanese army.
And it is also a good thing to be able to kill more Japanese soldiers to bury those officers and soldiers who are about to die or have already died.
Of course, the most important thing is that this time Liu Feiyang wanted to test whether the incoming Japanese army had some new weapons and equipment like the Japanese aviation force to participate in this Wuhan battle.
This is a very important thing. If the Japanese army comes up with any new weapons and equipment and you don't know about it, you will be very passive and be caught off guard by the Japanese army.
When deputy regiment commander Lin Yongbo took over the command, Li Jingang also quickly led a regiment of troops, fully armed to the teeth, boarded another batch of C-130 transport aircraft, and took off safely.
Then they flew towards the Dongjiao Airport in Anqing, and before taking off, they sent an encrypted telegram, asking the troops on that side to wait for their arrival, and asking the Dongjiao Airport in Anqing to continue preparations.
So as to welcome the arrival of their transport plane.
In other words, those airport logistics personnel cannot leave.
At this time, the battle in Anqing was very fierce.
At the same time, Xu Yuanquan's 26th Group Army was also engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese Sixth Division. The battle on that side was even more intense and fierce than this one.
