The three armies of the Xuebing Army launched an all-out attack, and fighting raged in the border areas of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi. While fierce fighting took place in Guangrao, Yingtan, and Jiangshan, the battles in the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang were also in full swing. The difference was that this time the Japanese Someone set off a smoke bomb and actually confused the veteran Jiang Guangnai.
Unlike the 8th Mixed Independent Brigade, which spread its forces too thinly, Okuichiro concentrated his forces in Qingyuan from beginning to end. When the Xuebing Army began to attack Taishun, he only ordered a brigade in the city to defend and even counterattack. Ignoring the 13th Xue Division that came over from Zhenghe County, he personally led the main force of the 9th Division to attack Songxi directly, trying to counter attack with attack, forcing the 5th Xue Army to retreat and follow its own path.
Okuichiro's move really paid off. The location of Songxi is too important. Once it is controlled by the Japanese army, the connection between the Third Army and the Fifth Army will be cut off. By then, the Japanese will have more choices, and they can even Take advantage of the 9th Division's intrusion to mobilize heavy troops and use Songxi to open up both sides. Once it reaches that point, this active attack by the Xuebing Army will become a joke. If the Japanese send out the navy again, they will learn from the Fifth Army. It is very likely that he will be surrounded,
After the combined fleet suffered heavy losses, the Japanese navy was once out of the sight of the cadet army. However, after being assassinated during the air raid on Ningbo, the Japanese navy appeared like a ghost.
The Dongshan Fleet has now completely lost its combat effectiveness. In this case, the Japanese can choose to land at will along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang. But once the Japanese actually complete the landing, then the ultimate goal of this active attack will definitely be ruined. In the Japanese Navy When they entered the Taiwan Strait in a big way, the Xuebing Army's maritime power could not even get out of the port. Naturally, let alone a sudden surrender to Taiwan.
The Japanese could not be allowed to see this opportunity. In desperation, Jiang Guangnai retracted his front and simply gave up the plan to attack Taishun. Instead, he gathered the strength of three divisions to directly attack Qingyuan and made a move against the 9th Division. With the attitude of closing the door and beating the dog,
Okuichiro is very cunning. At least in this game with Jiang Guangnai, he won. He left a regiment of troops to continue to attack Songxi, and fought with Xuewu Army between Songxi and Qingyuan. The world was turned upside down, but its main force broke away from the front line that night and quickly rushed towards Pucheng.
Jiang Guangnai had no real intention to encircle and annihilate the 9th Division. He liked to calculate costs in battles and was very concerned about the overall situation. The reason why he wanted to attack Qingyuan and in turn made a gesture of dealing with the 9th Division was just because he was afraid of it. In fact, Songxi was really captured. Unexpectedly, the 14th Xuexi Division, which was closest to the Japanese army, succeeded. After two days and one night of hard fighting, the Japanese defense lines in Jiuxian and Liudun were torn apart. It actually really happened. The Japanese army was surrounded. However, just when Jiang Guangnai was about to capture Qingyuan and surround the imaginary main force of the 9th Division, an unexpected scene appeared for him.
Okuichiro left a regiment of troops to contain the troops of the Fifth Academy, and was fully prepared. This preparation came from Matsui Iwane's advice to the 8th Mixed Independent Brigade, and the Japanese defense in Qingyuan County There were only two brigades, and the Japanese army resisted for four days, finally forcing the entire county to the city wall. Jiang Guangnai was forced to give up his original plan to capture Qingyuan and surround the 9th Division in the mountainous areas of Fujian and Zhejiang.
On this day, a message for help came from Pucheng. The villagers' self-defense force discovered a large Japanese army in the southeast of Pucheng. Xu Youmeng, the head of a security regiment under the direct control of Jiang Guangnai in the Pucheng garrison, deduced from this that the Japanese should have wanted to move. Attack Pucheng to cut off the retreat of the three armies of Xue.
It was not until this time that Jiang Guangnai finally realized that he had been fooled.
Okuichiro is not an easy kid. He played a beautiful golden cicada and escaped from his shell. He also broke his own passive situation at once and now started to take the initiative. Even though he knew that the Japanese army was using offense as defense, Jiang Guangnai still Unable to bear the consequences, we could only give up the intention of marching eastward, and instead returned to Songxi at full speed and entered Pucheng to resolve the crisis.
The Japanese army's small moves, no, it should be big moves, are not limited to the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the junction of Zhejiang and Jiangxi. As Hebian Zhengzo leads the 3rd Division from the direction of Hangzhou to attack Yushan over a long distance, on the battlefield of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, the student army The initial initiative has become evenly matched, and we have to consider the danger of being surrounded by the Japanese army.
The so-called countermeasures of Matsui Iwane to the 8th Mixed Independent Brigade Mizuhara Yoshishige were quite vicious and effective. After they coerced many people and firmly controlled some strategic locations in Yingtan and Jinxi, the students The second army threw the enemy into the trap and found that the battle could not be fought.
The results of the exploratory attack were cruel. Although many Japanese were killed, more Chinese people died. This was something that not only the top brass of the Xuebing Army did not dare to face, but also the officers and soldiers on the front line who saw this. In one scene, the muzzles of their guns that had been holding their heads high immediately dropped.
The purpose of establishing the Xuebing Army is to rescue the people and regain lost territory. The Xuebing Army is an army of the people. As the scale of the Xuebing Army grows, the Ministry of Political Affairs and Industry of the Xuebing Army has strengthened its propaganda in this regard. Now, this has become There is an invisible shackle that binds the hands and feet of frontline officers and soldiers. Faced with the report, they really do not have the cruelty to pull the trigger.
Having just encircled the enemies of Jinxi and Yingtan, the commanders of the units of the Second Army were very excited. If they could completely annihilate the Japanese 8th Mixed Independent Brigade, this achievement would be enough to turn all the colonels into generals.
The war situation in Northeast Jiangxi has reached a stalemate. This is what Ouyang Yun does not want to see. If the war in Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi cannot attract enough attention from the Japanese, then there will be no big loopholes in Taiwan, and this is what he wants to initiate this time. the ultimate goal of action,
With the order issued by Ouyang Yun regarding the rescue of the captured pilots, people from the Hutong Foreign Affairs Department and Langya became the busiest.
Xiao Yi, as the most outstanding team active in enemy-occupied areas, was naturally named by Ouyang Yun and asked to participate in this rescue operation. Out of his understanding of Xiao Yi, Ouyang Yun even directly named Xiao Yi: Xiao Yi, here I rescued my Air Force brothers,
In order to avoid possible telecommunications detection by the Japanese, Xiao Yi's team only received telecommunications at around ten o'clock in the morning and three o'clock in the afternoon every day. They received the order a little late, and the Japanese all used mechanization to escort the prisoners. When they learned the coordinates of the latest captured pilots, in fact, the captured pilots had already been escorted away.
"We must get a car." After making a missed call, Xiao Yi said to his team members,
"You also have to put on Japanese clothes." One team member added,
"Where are we now."
"Longyou."
In one day and one night, Xiao Yi's team traveled 80 kilometers. This was an incredible speed, but they were still late. At around three o'clock that day, they turned on the telegraph machine as usual, and the latest information they received was that
The captured pilot has arrived in Hangzhou,
One team member therefore suggested: "Go to Hangzhou."
Xiao Yi thought for a while and shook his head and said: "It doesn't have to be Hangzhou. We must first figure out where the Japanese want to send them." He then analyzed: "The valuable thing about our group of pilots compared to the Japanese is that
They know the performance parameters of Xue 1 and Sky Fortress. If my guess is correct, the level of attention they have received will be unprecedented. This matter must be of sufficient weight to be qualified to investigate and find out. Well, let Hu Tong investigate.
Find out where Matsui Iwane is."
Only five minutes later, they received a reply that Matsui Iwane was in Hangzhou. Not long ago, they had just eavesdropped on a telegram from the Japanese army. This telegram was sent to Matsui Iwane from the Japanese base camp, asking him to send the pilot directly to
When going to Nanjing, Matsui Iwane and Hata Shunroku were very difficult to deal with for various reasons. Although Hata Shunroku had already given an order to Matsui Iwane to send the captured pilots to Nanjing, Matsui Iwane pretended not to hear and decided to go and participate in the incident in person.
thing,
After following the telegram from the army, Xiao Yi immediately made the latest change in his route and decided to go directly to Nanjing regardless of Hangzhou. In order to get to Nanjing as quickly as possible to rescue the captured pilot, what they needed most now was a car.
In the era before Ouyang Yun traveled through time, Longyou was famous for the existence of Longyou Grottoes. At this time in time and space, the sleeping people in Longyou Grottoes had not been discovered by people.
In Xiaonanhai Village, Captain Yoshimitsu Nanqi was driving a Qiluo, and with a dozen Japanese soldiers, they were strutting down the stone slabs on the street.
In an alley about a hundred meters away from them, Xiao Yi stuck his head out to take a look, then shrank back and said: "One tank, fifteen Japs, we can do it."
"Commander, give me the order." One of the team members said impatiently.
Xiao Yi made a silent gesture towards him, and then made a series of movements towards the roof next to him,
It was the sniper Zhang Dan who asked him to give the order. When he saw this, he looked at the wall behind him, and then made a few gestures to Wang Shiju, who was also a sniper. Wang Shiju nodded and squatted down. Zhang Dan was careful.
Stepping on his shoulders, the latter stood up effortlessly. As soon as he stood up, Zhang Dan could easily touch the borrowing object. Zhang Dan immediately grabbed it firmly and climbed up with all his strength.
,
Yoshimitsu Nanchi went to practice target shooting outside the town. As a military police unit far away from the front line, they were much more comfortable than the Japanese soldiers of the 8th Mixed Independent Brigade. Therefore, Yoshimitsu Nanchi hummed Japanese songs while driving the tank.
, and the other crew members in the tank probably really thought it sounded good, and two of them shook their heads and closed their eyes. They completely forgot about their responsibilities, and they didn't expect that the death rope had already been tied to them.
