Cheng Jiaji led the brothers of the New 100th Division to draw the straight march route on the surface of Poyang Lake, which caused a strong response among the top leaders of China and Japan. It is no wonder that the Japanese senior command centers at all levels in Wuhan, Nanjing and Tokyo frequently exchanged telegrams in the early morning of the 15th, and without exception, they all mentioned a place name, Duchang.

After receiving a telegram from the New Eighteenth Army, the commander-in-chief of the Third World War Zone immediately focused his attention on Duchang, a small tiny place. In this situation, the Ninth World War Zone did not care about holding the New Eighteenth Army responsible for the unauthorized actions. The Chief-in-chief of the Wuning line, while reporting to the top, and urgently ordered the main troops on the Wuning line to send all their strength to suppress the actions of the Japanese army in De'an and Wucheng, to prevent them from taking action. Of course, if there is a advantage, the commander-in-chief of the war zone who has been turned into a regular battle because of the victory of Nanchang, will not miss any chance to bite the Japanese.

The third war zone was even more excited. From the latest classification of various war zones, Duchang is the territory of the third war zone. Putting aside its unique important strategic value of shaking Poyang and forcing the Yangtze River, just mastering Duchang and getting a solid share of the rich Poyang Lake and Lake District. This temptation is very great for those "soldiers" who like to be affordable. The senior officials of the third war zone also hope that the war zone can recover a piece of lost land and show the limelight. Driven by the dual driving force of political and economic interests, it fell from Nanjing.

The Third War Zone, which has basically never fought any major battles, has taken the initiative this time. Cheng Jiaji is still fighting fiercely, and the two main forces of his side have already arrived towards Duchang. Although the Japanese army has a line of defense between the Duchang area and the Third War Zone, this Japanese blockade line, which has greatly reduced its strength after being transferred east and west, is just a bamboo fence in the minds of the commanders of the Third War Zone. They don’t usually touch it. They just don’t want to “seek trouble if you have nothing to do”. At this moment, the word “profit” is the first and just rush over.

In short, a small Duchang made hundreds of miles south of the Yangtze River turbulent. There was a trend of "storm" coming again.

At 5 a.m. on October 15th, Duchang.

Cheng Jiaji, who is at the core of this storm he has brought up, is struggling to support the crisis while being attacked several times.

Qian Shendi was not slow, and the fleet that went to pick up the second echelon had already set off. All the sailboats were enough to carry a strengthening regiment. Cheng Jiaji was very satisfied with Qian Shen's work efficiency. He estimated that even if Japanese aircraft intercepted them in the middle, it would take a little time... The second echelon would have arrived in Duchang at about 1:00 pm at the latest. As long as he had reinforcements from this regiment, he would be much more confident.

The battle situation in Chamdo was not so optimistic. The Japanese army had not made any noise in the city. The Japanese paratroopers in the south of the city had also been driven to the countryside by Wen Songyuan and Han Dongsheng. The trouble was that the Japanese reinforcements from the strengthening regiment came too quickly. More than an hour ago, the Japanese detachment equipped with two light chariot squadrons hit the 199th Regiment and blocked the position on a large scale. According to reports from Ma Siyuan, the Japanese army's attack was very fierce. The two armies used dense formations as soon as they came into contact with the Japanese. So far, although the 199th Regiment's repeated resistance greatly delayed the Japanese advancement speed, their own casualties were also very serious.

Cheng Jiaji knew very well that the word "heavy casualties" popped from Ma Siyuan, who was tenacious and tenacious, was actually asking for help. Cheng Jiaji did not blame Ma Siyuan for being incompetent. The one-to-three comparison of troops, the huge gap in firepower, and the hasty fortifications. If it were someone else who fought this battle, even if Cheng Jiaji himself would fight, the Japanese chariots would probably have arrived in the city.

What makes Cheng Jiaji difficult now is that the enemy in three directions, except for the paratroopers who can no longer threaten Duchang, must first take down the attack. The answer is not difficult. Compared with the nearly 4,000 Japanese troops outside the city, the Japanese army in the city is much easier to deal with. But this difficulty is relatively speaking, and it is a tough battle to fight. What's even more terrible is that the burden of the troops blocking outside the city is too heavy. If Ma Siyuan can't stand it and the entire army collapses on the spot, it will definitely not be an exaggeration.

"Fuck! You're selling your business!" Cheng Jiaji, who made up his mind to do a one-time deal, made an emergency adjustment to the army.

"The first battalion of the 199th Regiment has been built. In addition to leaving one battalion to monitor the movements of the Japanese paratroopers, most of the 200th Regiment returned to the city to join the Japanese attack ranks of the Japanese army. Tell Ma Siyuan that from now on, he will only be allowed to retreat 500 meters per hour. Let Chief Qian pull the temporary regiment up. The total attack on the Japanese barracks must be initiated after an hour, and all troops must be reported to participate in the attack. Without the order from the division headquarters, no stopping, and even if the person dies, he must rush in." The order of a continuous cannon-like call from Cheng Jiaji's mouth made Yu Sangu, who was responsible for recording, was very busy.

Under Cheng Jiaji's strict order, the troops of the New 100th Division completed the preparations for the attack on the Japanese barracks on time. The general attack on the barracks started at around 6 a.m.

"Shoot." Hearing the dense sound of gunfire like a quarrel, Yamamoto Nakasa rushed to the front line and supervised the battle himself. "Brothers, kill me! Each of them rushed into the barracks first rewarded fifty oceans." Wen Songyuan also understood that this battle was at the critical moment, and rushed to the forefront of the assault troops of the 200th regiment with a crooked hand. Both sides of the offensive and defensive had a stance to take advantage of it as soon as they came up, and the battle was very good.

The attack power of the 200th Regiment was indeed not enough. Faced with the Japanese strong fortifications, the officers and soldiers of the 200th Regiment fought bravely. With his spirit of continuing, they launched three charges against the Japanese barracks, and used explosives to break into the wall and burst into pieces. But the progress ended. In desperation, Yamamoto Nakasa did not hesitate to use the method of breaking the east wall to repair the west wall, and mobilized more than one squadron to block the gap less than ten meters wide. One company that broke into the 200th Regiment died in battle due to the killing and wounding of the Japanese army on three sides.

"Let the troops retreat." Seeing that the 200th regiment's blade was defeated, it would be useless to attack again, so Cheng Jiaji issued an order to stop the attack on the whole line.

In order to get more people when the troops boarded the ship, and the ship's carrying capacity was limited, they did not bring cannons. There were many mortars. These large and small mortars were very useful to kill the Japanese barracks. They were powerless to use explosives alone. They could not rush to such a hard way. They could not find another way." Just when Cheng Jiaji was helpless, a person who had only received them not long ago came to him.

"Do you have a way to deal with the Japanese army in the barracks?" Cheng Jiaji looked at the former puppet army commander in disbelief in front of him, who was still childish in his face.

"I have an idea that doesn't matter whether it works or not, the Japanese military camp is relatively in line." Qin Dongsheng's first sentence made Cheng Jiaji, who had not had much hope for him, already felt that he was wrong to see this baby at such a nervous moment. Does he want to flood? Cheng Jiaji had thought of this idea and had long denied it. The reason for the denial was very simple, there was no time to draw water. When it took three or four days and four days to flood the seven armies, the Japanese army would have already entered the city. However, Qin Dongsheng's second sentence made Cheng Jiaji immediately throw the idea of ​​ending the conversation that had just risen.

"The oil depots in the port should not have been blown up. There is a lot of oil, so much that it can be used as water." Qin Dongsheng said this sentence that determined the life and death of nearly a thousand Japanese devils. The tone used was so plain that it made people feel a little numb when they heard it...

At this moment, Cheng Jiaji's mind was blank.

It was dawn. Yamamoto Nakasa's heart that had been hanging was at least put down. As soon as the sky was dawn, the Army Air Force's plane was coming soon. As long as there was close air support as a backing, the position would be guarded for another day. In Yamamoto's opinion, that was a sure thing.

When Yamamoto was fantasizing about what kind of reward he would receive as a "war hero" after this battle, he smelled a pungent smell mixed with the morning light floating from afar.

Not good! Yamamoto's reaction was quick. However, although he realized what Cheng Jiaji was doing, the tragic fate of him and his subordinates could not be changed.

When he was young, a sudden and powerful fire turned the Japanese barracks into a huge fire pot. Nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers struggled, shouted, and rolled, like a nest of ants poured on their heads by hot water.

"I can't tell, you kid, Wen Wen is quiet, the trick you came up with is really cruel! You should come to my army to be a serious company commander!" Wen Songyuan, who was responsible for implementing this plan, was sincere in his appreciation of Qin Dongsheng, otherwise he would not have wanted to pull him to the 200th Regiment.

"Commander Wen, Shi Zuo said that I would learn something first under Qian Chanzu."

Qin Dongsheng's answer made Wen Songyuan's attempt to rob people was lost.

"Report, the Japanese rushed out!"

Wen Songyuan originally wanted to use the things that young people like women most longed for to seduce this "talent". The report from a staff officer pulled his attention back to the battlefield, and also allowed Wen Songyuan to avoid his chin falling off without knowing it. He wanted to find that Qin Dongsheng had even had three or four women with good looks, so why would he still take this trick of his?

The final assault of the remnants of the Japanese Yamamoto corps was fierce and desperate. Under the firepower of the troops, which had an absolute advantage and was ready for battle, the Japanese soldiers fell one after another.

"Kill me!" Amid Yamamoto's howling, the remaining two or three hundred Japanese troops finally rushed to the front of the blocking team. It was also a pity that the officers and soldiers of the Yamamoto corps were too lucky. The guard battalion with the strongest infantry firepower was against them. Ma Sanbao didn't have the intention to talk about fair competition with the Japanese. Under his leadership, the brothers of the guard battalion stood up straight and swept wildly at the Japanese who had already rushed to less than 30 meters away. When the gunshots stopped, all the Japanese troops, including Yamamoto Nakasa, were beaten into sieves.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the 199th Regiment, which was full of artillery fire in the western suburbs of Duchang, blocked the position. The Japanese army did not take any responsibility for the cannons and chariots on this battlefield. After dawn, Japanese planes also came to visit. Under such firepower, the 199th Regiment, which lacked heavy weapons, fought fiercely. The saying that time is life has never been interpreted so intuitively as the bloody facts now.

"The 8th Company's position was lost."

Ma Siyuan, who had just been dug out of the soil by his subordinates, did not ask whether the people from the Eighth Company had withdrawn. Before receiving the order from his superiors to retreat, the troops must live and die with the position. This was his death order personally issued an hour ago.

When Ma Siyuan spit out the soil in his mouth while thinking about what kind of evil consequences would be brought to the 199th Regiment after the position of the Eighth Company on the left wing fall, a urgent telegram from the front of the division was sent to him.

"The Japanese army in the city has been resolved, and the speed department has left contact with the enemy in front of him and retreated to Xicheng Pass."

These contents in the telegram made Ma Siyuan feel proud and finally survived.

At around 7 a.m. on the same day, Wuhan, the 11th Japanese Army headquarters.

"Miyazaki, and that army can be quickly mobilized to the vicinity of Duchang. It doesn't have to be established, as long as it is an armed person." Lieutenant General Gang Village is now eager to beg for troops, and he will not dislike the reclamation team that is half-soldier and half-people. It's a pity that the Japanese side in China has not yet had time to implement a large-scale immigration plan, so naturally he would not want to be full of Japanese people like the Northeast.

Just a few minutes ago, Lieutenant General Gang Village had received the death-breaking power sent by Yamamoto Nakasa before launching the decisive charge. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he had to admit one fact that the "fall" of Duchang was a foregone conclusion. The Japanese army had to take advantage of the Cheng Jiaji army who had crossed the lake and did not firmly drive him down the lake. This road was possible. However, the three or four thousand people in the Japanese army currently on the edge of Duchang were difficult to afford the new 100th Division of the Chinese army, which was known as the elite, in one day. Therefore, "finding troops" became the most important task for all the personnel of the 11th Army.

Lieutenant General Gangmeng and his subordinates took a long time to "find" several Japanese troops closer to Duchang. These chaotic troops with a total of no more than 1,000 people soon received an urgent order of 100,000, and Xiang Changdu quickly set off. Among them, there was even a geological investigation team sent by Japan. The members of the investigation team were also ordered to drive Xiang Duchang together with their guards. At the same time, the 11th Army also sent a request to the Tokyo Base Camp to send more airborne troops to Duchang for help.
