After nightfall, starting from eight o'clock, Zuo Yusheng began to call "big mountain" every five minutes: "'shanling' calls 'big mountain', 'shanling' calls 'big mountain'..."
At half past eight, Hua Maili finally responded: "'Dashan' received, 'Dashan' received, 'Mountain', please report the direction, over."
It was Ouyang Yun and his party that Zuo Yusheng called. After confirming that the combined fleet had left Taiwan waters and started to return to the Nagasaki Naval Base, Ouyang Yun's worry that Yamamoto would return to the carbine finally disappeared, and he immediately began to deal with the Osaka Division. The plan was made long ago. The difference is that due to the withdrawal of the United Fleet, many links in the middle are no longer necessary. Ouyang Yun led the troops from the Niangziyun Guards, the Guangzhou Guard Force and the Unity Brigade. The selected more than two hundred elites took the first step and started towards Changjiang City. Behind them, Chen Shichang, who was worried about their safety, followed at a distance with elite soldiers from the same three armies to prevent unexpected situations.
Around eight o'clock, not long after the genius went dark, at this time, the Japanese army's campsite was still a busy scene. Putting aside the combat ability, the Osaka Division, as a Class A division, was still remarkable in other aspects. Influenced by the habits of merchants they had witnessed since childhood, they were more likely to be clever and more timid than the Japs in other armies, but because merchants were a despised ethnic group in Japanese society at that time and even before, so , the officers and soldiers of the Osaka Division came from relatively humble backgrounds, but their ability to endure hardship and stand hard work is definitely not bad. This ability is reflected in the military and has created the well-known engineering level of the Osaka Division.
After the combined fleet withdrew, even though the Osaka Division, from the division commander down to the ordinary soldiers, all had the concept of "co-prosperity" of peaceful coexistence in their hearts, but considering the nature of this war, all departments of the Imperial Army felt that The fearful student army, after losing their enemies like the Marine Corps, had to consider how to save their own lives based on reality. Under this situation, it was the first time that they responded so enthusiastically to the call of division commander Sawada Shigeru. , began to build fortifications aggressively, so in the eyes of the Xuebing Army scouts, one after another unformed turtle shells began to stand along the Changjiang River in Nanchang, Qiongzhou. This will certainly make it more difficult for the Xuebing Army to attack the fortifications, but on the other hand, This operation planned by Ouyang Yun was achieved with half the effort.
As soon as the genius faded, almost all the Japanese patrols retreated into the camp. The several reconnaissance teams responsible for opening the road fanned out for a distance of about a kilometer in the path of the mixed team led by Ouyang Yun, but they were surprised not to notice. A little Japanese patrol team had an almost unobstructed journey. Half an hour later, Ouyang Yun and his party met up with Bian Jingdao and the others. After listening to Bian Jingdao's report, they learned that Li Senran and Zetian Chunshan had safely entered Changjiang, and so far So far, no abnormal signals have been sent out from the Unity Brigade members lurking in Changjiang City. Ouyang Yunsui decided to act according to the original plan.
Bian Jingdao specifically mentioned the ragged Japs and the sniper rifle held by Fujino, and expressed his speculation that he suspected that there were other Japs forces in the Osaka Division, and this Support forces will hinder this operation,
Ouyang Yun disagreed with this, and said to Bian Jingdao calmly: "Look at our team members, no matter male or female, any one of them can beat ten with one. Huh, don't say that our opponents are just a bunch of traders, the so-called 'emperors'." We are elite soldiers, and with the two hundred of us, we can definitely kill anyone in and out of Changjiang City."
The Commander-in-Chief was full of confidence, and he had personally formulated this plan. Bian Jingdao thought about it seriously and felt that what he said was indeed reasonable, so he didn't take it too seriously.
Regardless of the combat effectiveness of the Osaka Division, the commanding ability of Shigeru Sawada, a top student who graduated from the Japanese Army Officer School, is quite satisfactory and even very distinctive. Although the construction of the defense fortifications of the Osaka Division has just begun, the overall defense plan has begun to take shape. It can highlight his military accomplishments. Experts can tell if they have it as soon as they reach out. Although these defensive arrangements did not hinder Ouyang Yun's plan due to the quality of the troops, after gaining insight into its overall defense arrangement, Ouyang Yun still secretly gave a thumbs up to Sawada Shigeru, saying in his heart: He is indeed a senior general who has reached the rank of Deputy Chief of Staff of the Japanese Military Ministry. Sawada still has something in his belly, but it is a pity that the Osaka Division is too disappointing. ,
Around Changjiang, Sawada Shigeru divided the defense down to the brigade level. To the southeast, there was one brigade each for Jishi and Yaying, and at the east gate, a brigade was also stationed. To the northeast, there was one brigade each for Kapok Reservoir and Jiukilun Village. There is a brigade at the north gate; and in the southwest and northwest, a total of a brigade of troops are arranged in a staggered manner on the two lines.
Sawada Shigeru deployed most of his troops outside Changjiang, especially in the northwest and southwest directions. He fully considered the characteristics of the Osaka Division and wanted to hold on to the retreat route to wait for possible reinforcements, thus leaving a lasting impression on the officers and soldiers of the Osaka Division. The next road of hope, in this case, even if the Xuebing Army launches an attack now, the Osaka Division will not collapse at the first touch. Of course, according to Ouyang Yun's understanding, Sawada Shigeru's doing this is better than nothing. Hainan is no better than Guangdong and Fujian. , its special geographical location determines that even if the Japanese army does have reinforcements, they will not arrive too fast. After all, the sea route is much more difficult to travel than the land route. Moreover, the Osaka Division has just received frequent good news, and they need a process to slow down the base camp. Slowly accept the concept of their failure. If Sawada Shigeru asks for help from the base camp now, it will be counterproductive. Of course, the nature of the Osaka Division determines that they will definitely take this step in the end, and this is what Ouyang Yunji One of the reasons for solving the Osaka Division,
Before passing through the Japanese garrison in Yaying Village, Ouyang Yun asked Chen Shichang to lead the main force to lurk by the Jishi pond to be on guard. He then led his officers and soldiers to change into the Japanese military uniforms they carried, and pulled Kuroda Seiichiro to the front of the team, and then Walking carelessly towards Yaying Village,
Today's encounter was undoubtedly a nightmare for Kuroda Seiichiro. As the head of the division's newly established affairs department, he was preparing to show off his skills with a large amount of supplies. However, the leader of "Lang Yun" who looked friendly yesterday and His subordinates suddenly changed their attitude, and as a result, more than 300 Japanese soldiers, including Kuroda, were disarmed by more than 200 cadet soldiers without even completing the action of raising their guns.
Kuroda didn't have the consciousness to be a prisoner at first, so he shouted: "Lang Yuntou, what do you mean? Have you ever treated a friend like this?"
Ouyang Yun naturally ignored him, and when the real Lang Yuntou came to Ouyang Yun respectfully, and gave a military salute that Kuroda thought was very inferior, and called out his true identity, Kuroda was dumbfounded.
