Chapter 264 The decisive battle begins

Since the establishment of the army, there have been no small battles with more than a thousand people killed at one time. However, like Tonight, it is not to delay the large army, nor to block the Japanese army's escape route, nor to stand firm and wait for assistance, but to lure the enemy. You know, there are fifty-one chariots that accompany the more than a thousand heroic scholars to the national crisis. The mechanical army has always been the key protection target of the scholars' army. It is the first time in the history of the scholars' army. This is no wonder that when Masazo Kawabian received the battle report, he immediately yelled at Ishihara with red eyes and said, "Yaxi, the 104th Regiment is good, and he caught the scholars' army off guard. Ishihara Jun, do you think there is this possibility? Ye Zhao didn't expect our army to land in the nameless sand. Let's take advantage of the situation and push it over."

Although the number of enemies was not too large, because of the wreckage of more than fifty chariots, the suspicious Ishihara Kanir also put down his obsession and thought that this was indeed an opportunity. He did not respond immediately to the riverside, but instead looked at the map with a more dedicated expression. Later, he said: "I do not agree to attack at night. The heavy artillery troops of the Xuejian Army are still there. Without the support of the aviation troops, our army will only humiliate themselves if they attack blindly. It is better to gather troops at night before talking." He said with his right hand on the south and west side of the Wuming Sandland, saying: "The 104th Regiment Let's take a break first, the 9th Regiment approached Xiaoshan, the 4th Division of the Gongrong Army moved south, setting up an ambush here in Qinggou. If Cixi's academic army returned to the rescue, they would launch a sniper and transfer the 3rd Division of the Gongrong Army back to Hangzhou, and they and the 20th Regiment should cooperate with the surrounding areas of Hangzhou to avoid being exposed to the black tigers of the academic army; the 33rd Regiment serves as the South Bank reserve team to cross the river tomorrow morning; the 65th Regiment will be the general reserve team, Hebianjun, you should contact Minister Yamamoto quickly and let them cooperate with our army's battle in Xiaoshan tomorrow..."

When the communications staff on the headquarters of the Yamato aircraft carrier island received the telegram from the river, Yamamoto Iroji and his subordinates held a routine summary meeting in the conference room. When the communications staff Shimamura Mae walked in excitedly with the telegram, Yamamoto Masaru scolded his subordinates with a solemn look: "... Glory has become a thing of the past. From now on, put away his arrogance and extravagance, just like we went to Hawaii, we returned to a state of trembling but bravery forward..." Yamamoto said sternly, his eyes swept across everyone's faces from time to time. He suddenly found that everyone's eyes were sweeping towards the door with a faint look. Turning to look, Shimamura quickly bowed and said, "Your Excellency, the telegram from the Commander of the Second Army of the Army, the Commander of the Army."

"Oh." Yamamoto took the telegram from Shimamura and scanned the contents, widened his eyes, and then handed it to Inoue Narimi on his left with a thoughtful look on his face and said, "Inoue, look."

Inoue Narimi took it in confusion and saw the words "Destroy more than 50 chariots of various types" on it, and was shocked: "Where is that a big victory?"

"Yes, if there is no moisture, I will pass it on to everyone, and after reading it, I will tell you what I think."

The Japanese army was not effective against the academic army on multiple fronts. In this environment, the Kawabian tribe achieved such a great victory. This is equivalent to a successful proof of the army province headed by Hideki Tojo, who proposed to handle the "Chinese incident" with a tougher attitude. When Yamamoto was scanning the telegram, Hideki Tojo was excited and excited at the first time appeared in his mind, and his face couldn't help but be deeply gloomy.

After reading the telegram, Nagamoto looked at Yamamoto calmly and said, "Your Excellency, we have no reason to refuse."

The joint fleet appeared near Shanghai, and was originally a banner to help the "New Year's Guide". The 2nd Army achieved such a great victory, and its position as the dominant leader of the "New Year's Guide" could no longer be shaken. The Japanese government and the people needed such victory too much. In this climate, if Yamamoto wanted to sell dog meat with the title of sheep, it would be more than worth the loss.

Yamamoto tapped the table with his right hand and pondered for a while, saying, "Then let's hold on and let the 2nd Army perform as much as possible first."

His words tasted strange, and Inoue asked, "Your Excellency, don't you be optimistic about them?"

Yamamoto asked back: "How do you think Matsui Ishione, Okamura Yanji and Kawabata Masao."

"The first two are long-time players, of course they are more experienced."

"These two have never been able to compete with the academic army, so what is the virtue of the river?"

Inoue and others thought,

When the river was dispatching troops, Ye Zhao was also doing the same thing, which was incomparable to the Japanese army's military strength. The Japanese army assembled two divisions in Hangzhou, two Korean military divisions, with a total strength of more than 50,000. The Xuebing Army had only a few full-time independent brigades directly under the Second Corps, and the Xuebing Army was then the Xuebing Fourth Division and three guerrilla brigades. The total strength was barely over 30,000. However, the advantage of the Xuebing Army was obvious, that is, the firepower equipment that had an overwhelming advantage, the independent heavy artillery brigade of the State, Chang Linchun's Rocket Array Brigade, Li Liang's Independent Air Defense Brigade...

While the river was speeding up, Ye Zhao was evacuating the people around Xiaoshan while dispatching troops.

On a cold and long night, when a ray of light appeared in the east, the command center of the 2nd Army Command in Hangzhou, the military coat tightly on the riverside made the command center, looked up at the south bank, then turned around and went into the house and said to Shigemasa Aoki, "Tell Uchiyama Hidetaro that I will enter Xiaoshan Castle after nine o'clock."

Aoki Shigemaki ran to generate electricity with a "Hai" sound. Soon, two signal flares rose from the nameless sand on the south bank. In less than five minutes, hundreds of cannons suddenly flew on the river bank facing Xiaoshan. About four large brigades of Japanese mountain artillery and field artillery troops began to launch artillery at the established target.

Ye Zhao also stayed up all night. When the cannon sounded, he raised his head from the sand table to ask Zhang Gongming who was standing aside: "This is the beginning."

Zhang Gongming: "I'll call Gao Yongxiang now."

It was agreed last night that once the Japanese army launched an attack on Xiaoshan, the fifth academic division of Gao Yongxiang in Huangshan would immediately launch an attack on Jixi County occupied by the Japanese army.

After Du Linzi brought back the 408th Regiment and the 604th Regiment last night, he immediately established a defense line at the former Japanese Xiaoshan Airport, about 8,000 meters away from the Wuming Sand. Before this line of defense, the Xiaoshan Guerrilla Brigade commanded by Feng Banyu and the Shaoxing Guerrilla Brigade also established a temporary sniper line in Nanyang Town. Nanyang Town was only about 4,000 meters away from the Wuming Sand, and at this time it became the target of the Qiantang River special mixed fleet's naval bombardment.

The artillery fire preparations before the Japanese attack began for about a quarter of an hour, and Miyamoto Koky's Second Flying Division made its debut again. More than 30 fighter jets first appeared over Nanyang Town, and no valuable targets were found. Then they slowly flew towards Xiaoshan City. What the Japanese army feared the most were the chariot troops of the Xuejian Army and the heavy artillery troops. Miyamoto received the order to find out the two types of troops hidden by the Xuejian Army and give a devastating blow.

The decisive battle has begun,
