In the east, a glimmer of dawn was slowly opening. In a courtyard in the northwest of Xiabu Township, Xia Gaole listened to the explosions. He stared at several puppet army leaders and said to him: "Don't look at it. , the Xuebing Army will definitely win this battle. They have tanks, but the Imperial Army does not. The Imperial Army has no way to fight with them. I asked you to help rescue those mud-legged people before, but you didn’t listen. It’s okay now, wait until they win. There will definitely be a settlement later, don't have any illusions, the Xuebingjun is the most ruthless in dealing with people like us. Have you heard about what Ouyang Yun did in Tianjin? He single-handedly broke into the heavily defended Japanese concession. He killed two big traitors who were under heavy protection, and also killed more than a hundred Japanese. This kid is not a human being at all. How can we fight with such a person? He is looking for death."
After imitating the Second Army's dispatch of tank troops, most of the Japanese army's firepower lost their effectiveness and could only use limited combat anti-aircraft guns to counterattack. However, the Japanese army's combat anti-aircraft guns only had a caliber of 57 mm, which was not enough to destroy lasers on the front. The tanks had thick armor. The battle lasted for more than an hour. Half of the Japanese fortifications in Tongjia Town had been knocked down by the tanks. At this moment, there were still two squadrons of Japanese soldiers guarding the Tongjia Town Primary School. There was another wall built with cement. The three-story teaching building is still resisting. There is no suspense in the battle in Tongjia Town. The next step is to slowly annihilate them one by one. Upon seeing this, Li Hanhun separated two battalions of tanks and went to Xiabu Township. Now, The most intense fighting was at the township office in the southeast corner of Xiabu Township. The Japanese army relied on two bunkers and deep trenches, using a combination of anti-tank artillery and human bombs to withstand the tank attack. ,
The battle on the front line was very stalemate, and the puppet troops who had fled the front line were in panic. One-third of the puppet troops had already taken off their bastard uniforms and returned to the people; another third The puppet troops were die-hard loyalists of the Japanese army. Although they did not dare to stay on the front line to participate in the war, they firmly believed that the imperial army would win. Their officers were planning how to find excuses for their escape after the war; the rest were those who had been previously dismissed. Those who instigated rebellion later gave up the battlefield because of cowardice, those who rebelled,
Xia Gaole is the general liaison person of the puppet army for this anti-Japanese operation. He wanted to resolutely carry out the anti-Japanese orders on the battlefield and help rescue the people who were poisoned. Unfortunately, the puppet army was born in the year of rabbit, no matter whether it was following the Japanese He still wanted to change his mind, but habits were hard to change. He could not even scream and was dragged away.
After he finished speaking, all the leaders of the puppet army fell silent. After a long time, a very tall officer suddenly roared and said: "Wealth can be found in danger. I have heard that if you can join the student army If you are an ordinary soldier, you will get five silver dollars every month. Brothers, do it, good job. If you can join the student army, hehe, if nothing else, brothers, at least we will be a family in the future. I’m worried about eating and drinking.”
Xia Gaole then said: "Then do it."
"Okay, Lao Xia, you planned this, so you should take the lead. If anyone dares to be half-hearted, I, the Yellow Tiger, will skin him."
Xia Gaole nodded and said: "Then it's settled, my idea is..."
The actions of the Xuebing Army in Yingtan were quickly sent to Okuichiro by telegram by Mizuhara Yoshige. Suzuki Shimono and Kawabe Shozo were there. Kawabe Shozo's 3rd Division was still far away from the battlefield. Suzuki Shimono was closest to Yingtan at this time, but Because his own situation was not very good. At this time, the three armed forces were surrounded by superior forces in the hilly areas from Jiangshan to Yushan, waiting for Okuichiro to rescue him. After receiving the telegram, he could only organize a tentative Attack, nothing else can be done,
The whereabouts of Okuichiro Okuichiro's 9th Division have been very strange since they entered the battlefield. They hit the east and west with hammers and sticks, disturbing the peace of the front-line cadets in Fujian and Zhejiang.
Jiang Guangnai was once led by his nose and seemed quite passive.
After Ouyang Yun heard about it, he personally sent a telegram to Jiang Guangnai. The telegram said: The purpose of the 9th Division is just to rescue the Japanese army surrounded by our army. Therefore, the best way for our army to deal with it is not to blindly Instead, we should try to make the pocket bigger and put the 9th Division directly into it.
After Jiang Guangnai received this telegram, he immediately knew that he had entered a misunderstanding and regarded himself as a pure defender. If he stood on the offensive side, then the previous series of actions of the 9th Division were actually They can only serve as a source of harassment, but they are not enough to cause much damage to Fujian. If Okuichiro really dares to occupy a Fujian town, will he be prepared to annihilate his entire army?
In view of this, Jiang Guangnai changed his previous chasing style and just ordered the cities along Fujian and Zhejiang to strengthen defense and separate the troops. He personally led the 13th and 14th Xuexi Divisions to march directly from Songxi to Longquan, and at the same time asked Xuexi 10th Division to march directly from Songxi to Longquan. The Fifth Division implemented the previously established strategy and continued to attack the southeastern coast of Zhejiang, trying to help the She people establish an anti-Japanese base area.
Once the Fifth Xue Army began to implement such a strategic plan, Okuichiro's previous actions seemed a bit redundant and ridiculous. At least, he no longer dared to implement his previous plan. He wanted to advance alone into Fujian and directly go to Wuyi Mountain to outflank the rear of the Second Xue Army. Now he has to consider that once Songxi and Longquan are completely controlled by the Fifth Army, his troops may be surrounded in the mountainous area east of Fengling Pass.
The changes in the general situation made the situation on the battlefields of Fujian and Jiangxi begin to become complicated. The specific battle situation at this time was that the Second and Third Xue Army had completely surrounded the Japanese 8th Mixed Independent Brigade and the first part of the 13th Division. , but the Xue San Army was also surrounded by the 13th Division and the 9th Division. At the same time, the 9th Division was also likely to be surrounded.
This kind of big-picture thing made both the Xuebing Army and the Japanese army speed up the process in the next situation. This is why Li Hanhun was eager to solve the besieged Japanese army, because only by completely solving the 8th Mixed Independent Brigade could he Move out the troops from the 2nd Xue Army to support the 3rd Xue Army and wait for an opportunity to eat up part of the 13th Division or surround the 9th Division.
Xia Gaole doesn't understand these big-picture things. In fact, what he cares about now is only his personal wealth, life and future.
The area defended under the personal command of Mizuhara Yoshitaka was the strongest in the entire Dongha defense line. Although the Xuebing Army had tank troops to clear the way, the Japanese army was very tenacious in resisting and was very good at using human bombs. The Xuebing Army lost three people in a row. A tank, not only failed to break in, but blocked the tank's path forward, which made him very annoyed.
"If it really doesn't work, we can only use people to charge. No matter how many people die, we must take it down before six o'clock." Li Hanhun was fuming in the temporary headquarters. Deng Longguang at the door looked at the huge fireball that suddenly rose in the distance. He shouted in surprise: "A Japanese bunker exploded. Well done. Which unit did it? I want to reward them."
The Japanese army only defended several bunkers. Among them, the bunker used by Mizuhara Yishige as the headquarters was particularly strong. The Xuebing Army rushed to the bunker several times, but they were unable to blast it and were eventually knocked down. Deng Longguang He, Li Hanhun and others have been paying close attention to this bunker, and Deng Longguang knew from previous observations that the explosion was near the bunker.
Li Hanhun heard Deng Longguang's shout and ran out. At this time, the sound of the explosion reached everyone's ears. Looking at the huge fireball, Li Hanhun said in surprise: "It seems that the ammunition depot exploded, old man." Deng, let’s take a look.”
"good."
It was not the bunker that Mizuhara Yoshitaka was holding that exploded, but the explosion tore a three-meter-wide hole in the back of the bunker. Mizuhara Yoshitaka and dozens of Japanese inside were killed and shocked at that time. Several people died, and those who survived were shocked to the point where their ears bled and they fainted.
This explosion was planned by Xia Gaole. It was originally a warehouse used by the Japanese army to store ammunition. It was only five meters away from the bunker. Xia Gaole and others carried a pig and knocked on the door in the name of condolences to the imperial army. Killed the five Japs inside, and then detonated the ammunition depot.
The ammunition depot was detonated by Xia Gaole himself, so even though he ran hard, his eardrums were bleeding due to the huge shock wave, and he was almost shocked to death. After the huge explosion, there were sporadic explosions, and after this explosion, The frontline troops of the Xuebing Army immediately seized the opportunity and carried out a fierce attack. Most of the Japanese troops were shocked by the explosion and were stunned. Except for the two Japanese squadrons acting as reserve forces who rushed out in time to carry out tenacious sniping, most of the Japanese troops on the front line failed to do so again. organize effective resistance,
"Damn it, I'm not dead." Sporadic explosions continued. Xia Gaole shakily climbed up from the ground. He shook his head to shake off the dirt, and then suddenly saw the gap behind the bunker. He immediately realized that greater achievements were beckoning to him. He looked back and saw that behind him, more than two hundred puppet soldiers were lying on the ground except for Huang Huhu, who was standing there dumbfounded and crying. Reluctant to get up, he ran over and grabbed Huang Huhu and shouted: "Tiger, do you want to make great achievements?"
He was shocked by the explosion and lost his ability to judge the volume. The roar was so loud that it startled Huang Huhu. He jumped back: "Please speak softly, I've been deafened by your roar." What a great achievement."
Xia Gaole's eyes sparkled with a charming light. He pointed at the large hole more than thirty meters away and shouted: "There, Mizuhara Yoshigeage must be inside. Let's go in and catch him."
In the past, Huang Huhu would never have dared to do this kind of thing, but now he was a lot more courageous. He yelled at the top of his lungs: "It's done." Then he yelled at those people lying on the ground: " Brothers, if you want wealth and wealth from danger, let's do something big."
