Attack, attack. Hundreds of thousands of troops soon gathered on Jiangbei Bank. The three systems of the Chinese Army team worked together at this time. They had only one purpose, to kill the Japanese troops defending Jiangbei!
The headquarters crossed the river. As the commander-in-chief of the Communist Party, Luo Zhuoying no longer wanted to be the logistics minister. He left everything to Xue Yue and personally led the troops to attack. Mengda soon marched towards Huangmei County. When night fell that day,
Already met Zhang Aiping's troops.
"Big victory, big victory!" Zhang Aiping didn't know what to say. She hugged Meng Da tightly, her lips trembled with excitement, and the only thing she could express was one sentence.
"Let your troops clean up the battlefield quickly and stop attacking. I will replenish ammunition." Meng Da smiled slightly. All this was in his plan, and the victory of the battle did not surprise him.
"Quickly, let the troops clean up the battlefield and bury the Japanese corpses." Zhang Aiping let go of Meng Da and said excitedly: "It's amazing, I didn't expect the fight to go so smoothly!"
What Meng Da wanted to kill most was the Japanese Sixth Division, but he received information that this unit had just been transferred to Southeast Asia by the Japanese army. The Japanese 131st Division, 116th Division and the 86th Independent Mixed Brigade occupied the Wuhan area.
He has already made up his mind to destroy the enemies of Wuhan in one fell swoop!
Thinking of this, he asked slyly: "Do you want to have a good fight?"
"I want to, even in my dreams. I have always taken advantage of you when I cooperate with you. If you don't want to fight, you are a fool." Zhang Aiping expressed with great joy that he had captured countless weapons in this battle and already had the weapons to equip another division.
"Our main force is going to attack Wuhan. You, the New Fourth Army, take the opportunity to wipe out the Japanese troops in the counties north of the Yangtze River! Unfortunately, you only dispatched one division this time!" Meng Da was very sorry. If the New Fourth Army could have sent two divisions, I'm afraid Huang Mei
You can have it in your hands from the county to Huoshan County.
"We don't dare to take risks." Zhang Aiping shook her head. Who could have expected such a result?
The troops have already moved towards Huanggang, and the following troops are stepping up ammunition replenishment and vehicle maintenance. Meng Da took Zhang Aiping to his command vehicle, took out cigarettes and red wine and said: "Come on, relax first, the Wuhan battle will soon be over
It’s over, you should prepare in advance.”
"I understand." Zhang Aiping took the cigarette, said gratefully and sat down.
After the defense line was torn, Xue Yue commanded the troops of the Ninth War Zone and began to march from Yueyang, Xianning, and Jingzhou towards Wuhan. The two armies of Jiangbei Army were already advancing day and night under the leadership of Luo Zhuoying, scaring the Japanese army in Huanggang into abandoning the city and heading towards the city.
Wuhan Escape.
In the city of Nanjing, Shunroku Hata already knew that Wuhan was in danger, and hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat towards Xinyang and Xiangyang in the north. All the troops were approaching and successfully took over the important area of Wuhan that had been occupied for three years. The good news was conveyed to Chongqing, and Chiang Kai-shek was very happy.
He laughed out loud.
Zhu Jiahua took the opportunity and said: "Chairman, the Sixth War Zone should also fight back."
"Counterattack? Commander Meng has pushed the Japanese troops towards the sixth theater. Whether they can hold on is a question. Tell the troops in the ninth theater to deploy defenses in Wuhan, Jiujiang and Nanchang. We can't rush in!"
Zhu Jiahua understood that Chiang Kai-shek wanted Meng Da to fight the Japanese army, and he would seize the victory from behind. He was so angry that he wanted to smash the table in front of him with his fist! He had already thought that Meng Da would definitely be consumed in this battle.
It's not small. If you continue to attack, it will cause more losses than gains.
Xue Yue received the telegram from Chongqing and hurriedly came to Meng Da to discuss it. He snorted coldly and said: "Such a commander is not worthy of being the leader of a big country! Forget it, my army's mission has been completed, and I should go back to rest. Wait.
Go ahead, I will fight back in a year and I will not give up until I drive away the little devil!"
"Keep your rocket troops!" Luo Zhuoying saw that Meng Da was leaving and hurriedly came over and begged.
"Rocket Force? You think I have a lot of ammunition, right? Let me tell you, this battle has wiped out all my family assets!" Meng Da spread his hands, pointed at the majestic tank and said, "Go and take a look.
You will understand."
"What a pity, what a pity!" Luo Zhuoying liked this kind of artillery fire very much. When the salvo was fired, it was like a volcano erupting with hot magma, pouring overwhelmingly on the enemy target.
equipment, and give the enemy a huge mental shock.
"What I lack is high-quality steel, which cannot be mass-produced at the moment. That's exactly what I don't like about American equipment. It's too difficult to replenish ammunition. This is our country's biggest weakness. Industry not only affects national defense, but also affects the outcome of the war.
problem."
Of course Xue Yue knew everything Meng Da said, but the country was in a difficult period of war and could not practice steel at all. He also knew that there were no iron mines near Port X, so it was difficult for young people to realize their ideals. It was even harder to import from overseas.
All directions have been occupied and blockaded by Japanese troops.
Seeing the troops moving towards the south of the Yangtze River, Xue Yue hurriedly led the commanders of the Ninth War Zone to follow. They were stationed in Nanchang, and the civilian army retreated. The Japanese army would definitely attack from Xinchao. Luo Zhuoying said calmly: "
Things are different now, our artillery fire and equipment are enough to withstand the Japanese attack!"
"Difficult! Our air force is too small. Once Meng Da's plane retreats, I'm afraid the Japs' planes will come back to bomb. Get ready, the war in the future will definitely be fierce!" Xue Yue shook his head and sighed. Taking down Jiujiang and Wuhan was actually the ninth
The war zone was cornered.
It was calm, the Japanese army did not attack, and the Japanese did not counterattack. A few months passed unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in March 1943. However, due to the sudden attack by the Japanese army on Guangzhou Bay and Leizhou Peninsula, the prosperous Zhanjiang businessmen suddenly
and large households from all over Leizhou were forced to flee to Hong Kong.
In less than a month, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Hong Kong and Dongguan. This sudden situation once again gave Mengda a headache. Rich families spent money to move to Hong Kong, while poor families could only stay in the south of Huizhou to develop.
Dongjiang District managed by Mt.
"What should I do?" Fang Zhenshan panicked. The number of people fleeing continued to increase, and there might be big trouble.
"Arrange them to stay, organize the young and strong, and join in the construction of reservoirs and roads. Select tens of thousands of people for military training, and let the rest go to X Port to reclaim land!" Mengda had no choice but to let these people go first.
Fill your stomach, enter the factory if you are able, and use your strength to farm and work if you are not.
No one can escape birth, old age, illness and death. When facing death, everyone will express fear. Because death also requires courage, in the face of a powerful army, the people can only choose to escape. The situation is getting more and more serious. In just half a month,
Huizhou Yinan has attracted millions of people.
"Fight!" Meng Da had only this way. Only by driving away the Japanese troops in Guangzhou Bay could he stop the frenzy of fleeing.
Guangzhou Bay is a French concession. After the Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1938, Guangzhou Bay became the only port in China that could trade freely. The road from Guangzhou Bay to Liuzhou, Guangxi has been connected, and all the materials needed in the mainland are transshipped through Guangzhou Bay.
, has become a major commercial town and shipping center in and out of China. There are more than 20 ships of more than 1,000 tons sailing in the X port alone, and it has created a generation of shipping kings such as Xu Aizhou.
When Xu Aizhou heard that the troops from Hong Kong were about to go on an expedition, he hurried over and said: "My ships are all in Hong Kong. If necessary, I can donate all the ships to you for use in fighting Japanese invaders."
Meng Da smiled slightly and said: "Boss Xu, you want me to use your cargo ship to fight the Japanese navy?"
"This-" Xu Aizhou couldn't reply.
"Manage your fleet well and you will be able to show off your skills in the future. We can only dispatch the army now to fight the Japanese army on land. Believe me, Guangzhou Bay will be recovered soon, and your fleet will continue to give x
Make due contributions to the development of Hong Kong."
Xu Aizhou smiled, took out a banknote and said, "This is a little thought from me, to buy some food for the soldiers on the expedition."
"Okay, I accept your kindness!" Meng Da took it and handed it to Fang Zhenshan without looking at the amount on the check.
The 23rd independent mixed brigade under Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, commander of the 23rd Army of the China Expeditionary Force, easily captured the Leizhou Peninsula. The Japanese army transported three more brigades from Taiwan to take over the defense of the French Concession. The Second Division subsequently landed.
They also came ashore from Zhanjiang one after another, preparing to attack Nanning from here.
The troops garrisoned by the Japanese retreated again and again, leaving a large area of land to their enemies. Mengda led an army to set off, and there were people fleeing along the way. He looked angrily at the tragic scene in front of him, and felt sorry for the incompetence of the Japanese.
**More angry!
"Commander, the Japanese army has the same strength as mine. Once the war starts, I'm afraid they will continue to increase their troops!" Liu Tai was a little worried. They only have three divisions, and including artillery and tank armor regiments, they only have more than 40,000 people.
"The refueling tactics can't save their fate of failure. This is even more of an opportunity for us!" Meng Da has never known fear, not to mention that he has made a wise judgment. Once the war begins, the Japanese troops will not fail.
Attack.
"It's a pity that our air force cannot participate in the war!" Liu Tai regretted endlessly. The Japs have aircraft carriers and warships, and there must be Japanese aircraft at the airport in Guangzhou Bay.
"It's a pity, but we have to fight. The number of people fleeing will continue to increase, which will overwhelm our ability to bear it!" Meng Da knew very well that there were only a few large businessmen who could register in Hong Kong, and the maximum number was only three thousand.
Having multiple families and millions of people to support him will drive him into despair.
Liu Tai's worries finally came true. The mighty convoy of three divisions headed west. The Japanese reconnaissance plane quickly sent the information to the Japanese command. Four fighter jets and two bombers scrambled to take off and began to attack the advancing troops.
The team bombs.
"Covered by anti-aircraft artillery fire, the ground convoys spread out and advance!" Meng Da was very calm. If he stopped, the losses would be greater. Only by advancing under the rain of bullets could he avoid huge losses.
Liu Tai stopped the car and observed the sky side by side with Meng Da. He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, we are well prepared. The Japanese planes dare not fly at low altitudes, and bombing will have no effect."
"Let the troops speed up their march. Let's fight the Japanese army tonight!" Meng Da hated this kind of passive defense. He wanted to turn his initiative into a passive one and use his advantage in night operations to attack them.
"Yes, speed up!"
"Report, the advance troops have discovered that the Japanese army is approaching us."
"Order the cavalry to rush over, and the tanks and armored regiments will cooperate with the infantry to kill them!"
