Whenever the Xuebing Army goes out in force, Lang Ya will definitely accompany it, and every time it will definitely make some big noises, so that when people in the know mention the Xu Bing Army, they will definitely mention Lang Ya and call it "Lang Ya". Ouyang Yun’s claws,
Langya dispatched a group this time, and the leader was still Xiao Yi. It was originally not Xiao Yi's turn to dispatch Langya this time, because he was originally designated by Ouyang Yun to go to Shanghai to host the counterfeit currency war. However, By chance, the Japanese biochemical troops were unexpectedly discovered in Nanjing and contracted the plague. Therefore, they were recalled halfway through the journey and were immediately quarantined. The counterfeit currency war was directly related to the survival of the 57th Army and delayed their lives. No, so when Xiao Yi was recalled, Ouyang Yun sent Ding Yi to take charge. Langya is the reserve for middle and low-level officers in the student army. Once there are vacancies for some brigade commanders, Ouyang Yun will choose people from Langya to fill them. , so after going back and forth, after some veteran Langya team members were selected, Ding Yi gradually rose to the position and became the deputy brigade commander of Langya. Ding Yi went to Shanghai, and Guo Da was responsible for the defense of Guangzhou again, so this time he went north The leading candidate could only be Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi originally felt sorry for not being able to go to Shanghai, but now he was able to participate in the Battle of Hankou, which was a blessing in disguise.
Anqing has been occupied by the Japanese army since the Battle of Nanjing, and has since become the front line of the confrontation between the Japanese and Chinese armies. Anqing originally had a small airport, but after the Japanese occupied it, they carried out extensive construction work and transformed it into a large front-line airport. Anqing The airport has been expanded and can now accommodate more than 200 fighter planes. There are four runways that can fly fighter planes at the same time. The existence of Anqing Airport can be said to have become a decisive factor in the final direction of the Battle of Hankou. The Xuebing Army Air Force currently does not have the ability to fly fighters at the same time. To maintain the two battlefields, Ouyang Yun could only rely on Langya and adopt special attack tactics.
That night, after the combat plan was approved, Xiao Yi took two squadrons with a total of more than 140 Langya special forces on the road. Langya's combat plan was personally participated in the formulation by Ouyang Yun. They would first sneak into Dongzhi. , then choose the nearest swimming route and swim there at night.
The water surface of the Yangtze River below Madang Fortress has now completely become the domain of the Japanese army. The patrol boats belonging to the Japanese Yangtze River Fleet cruise on the Yangtze River almost day and night, which forces Xiao Yi and the others to swim at night. Fortunately, Langya People who have lived in Guangzhou for a long time have good water skills, and the water surface of the Yangtze River in Jiangxi is not too wide, so swimming in the middle of the night is not too difficult.
Langya is the key force in conquering Anqing this time. The existence of Anqing Airport is the biggest threat to the tank troops. As long as those fighter planes are eliminated, once the tank troops can safely cross the river, it will inevitably be like entering an uninhabited land. ,
In order to cover Langya's actions, Ye Zhao would take some measures to paralyze the Japanese army in Hukou. Therefore, on the morning of June 2nd, the following scene occurred in the newly established headquarters of the Japanese 106th Division at Jiujiang Middle School, Just when Nakajima Qingcun had just gotten up and started washing up, the communications staff officer on duty suddenly ran over and reported to him: "Your Excellency, the Chinese are amassing troops at the mouth of the lake and have the intention to attack our army. Kazuo Yasura Colonel, please ask me if we should move the defense line eastward."
Nakajima Qingcun resolutely carried out the orders of Okamura Neiji. After occupying Jiujiang, he did not rush to expand the results to the southwest. Instead, he launched a defense on the spot to guard against the student army taking the initiative to attack Jiujiang. After hearing this, he hurriedly used a towel He washed his face and said: "Convene a meeting with the officers in the city. Our current enemy is China's most elite cadet army. This China army has extraordinary combat capabilities. We should pay enough attention to it."
"Hai." The staff officer on duty saluted, then turned around and ran away. Ten minutes later, a brigade commander, three regiment captains, thirteen battalion captains and a group of staff officers gathered in the auditorium of Jiujiang Middle School. Waiting for Nakajima's instructions,
"Commander has arrived." Following a young staff officer's powerful shout, Nakajima Qingcun walked into the auditorium expressionlessly.
All the officers immediately stood up, standing straight and looking at their division commander. Many of them had fanatical looks in their eyes.
It has not been long since Nakajima took over as the commander of the 106th Division. At one time, these officers were still unconvinced, but now, His Excellency Nakajima has proven his commanding ability with actions. He is worthy of being the "Nagashima Fox". They actually captured Jiujiang without a single blow, and by occupying Jiujiang, they could directly threaten the flanks and even the rear of the Xuebing Army. The 106th Division once fought against the Xuebing Army in the Battle of Nanjing under the leadership of former division commander Matsuura Junrokuro. Of course, the 106th Division was defeated miserably that time. Even now, many officers who took office at that time will feel resentful every time they think about this, always wondering when they can regain their position.
Now, because of the wisdom of the division commander, it seems that this ideal is not difficult to realize. How can these officers not worship Nakajima wholeheartedly?
Nakajima Qingcun sat down first, then looked around at everyone and said: "Everyone, please sit down."
"Wow." Everyone sat down uniformly,
Nakajima glanced at everyone again, and then asked: "Those here who have participated in the Battle of Nanjing, please raise your hands."
Almost everyone raised their hands,
Nakajima: "It seems that they all participated in the Battle of Nanjing. So, they all fought against the Xuebing Army."
Shanchiyuan stood up and bowed: "Your Excellency, I didn't respect you enough before, I'm sorry." Then he raised his head and said loudly: "Your Excellency, please lead us to defeat the Xuebing Army. Ouyang Yun is in Pengze, we I hope to be able to capture him alive under your leadership."
During the Battle of Nanjing, Yamachigaki was the brigade commander of the 111th Brigade and a major general. However, after this battle, because it was unfavorable to the Xuebing Army, the commander of the Qian Division, Matsuura Junrokuro, was directly recalled to the country, and he also followed He was demoted and became a regiment commander. His position was reduced, but his military rank could not be taken away. Therefore, Yamachigaki became the first in the Japanese military to serve as a regiment commander as a major general. This precedent was not an honorable one. , in Shanchiyuan's opinion, it was a great shame and humiliation, so what he always thought about was fighting against the Xuebing Army again, defeating Ouyang Yun, and regaining his dignity as an emperor's warrior.
Most of the people present here have suffered losses from the Xuebing army and have been reprimanded for it. Shan Chiyuan took the lead, and the others stood up one after another and said in unison: "Your Excellency, please lead us to defeat the Xuebing army." Army."
After Nakajima succeeded Matsuura as the division commander, the latter's old subordinates were not very convinced. Nakajima used tactics to seize Jiujiang without bloodshed, and also had the intention of proving himself to them and demonstrating. Now, seeing that everyone is loyal to him, "Nagashima "Zhihu" showed a reserved smile. He waved his hand for everyone to sit down, and then resolutely said: "Gentlemen, I have seen your determination. It is very good. With your efforts together, our 106th Division will definitely be able to clean up Nanjing." Defeated in the battle and brought humiliation, rebuild the glory, Mangkhut, please bring up the sand table."
"Hai." Combat Staff Officer Shengzhu Youcheng and several military policemen brought in a huge sand table. When the sand table was placed in front of everyone, and when the terrain of Pengze was truthfully reflected in front of everyone, the few who knew the goods were The Japanese officer immediately exclaimed: "Your Excellency, this is the latest combat map. Your Excellency, did you make it yourself?"
"Long Island Fox" has the experience of studying abroad in Western Europe, and this sandbox is one of the results of this study abroad.
The Japanese army has actually started to use sand tables for a long time, but it is the first time that such a delicate one with such precise dimensions has been presented. It is no wonder that these Japanese soldiers shouted and looked like they had picked up a gold ingot after wrestling.
Nakajima did not mean to show off. After all, this thing has been popularized in the West for a long time. There is really nothing to boast about. He took the baton from Mangkhut's hand, pointed to the point at the mouth of the lake and said: "Gentlemen, We have called you here because the latest intelligence has just come from the front line. The Xuebing Army is massing troops in the Hukou area and intends to take the initiative to attack. Gentlemen, you all know Commander Okamura’s combat intentions. The reason why we have to be the first. The purpose of capturing Jiujiang is to encircle the student army and strive to completely annihilate it. Gentlemen, I have studied your experiences in the Battle of Nanjing in detail. Have you ever thought about why the battle failed?"
At the end of the Battle of Nanjing, as the main force of the Chinese army withdrew, the Japanese army actually had an absolute advantage. However, because they wanted to surround and annihilate the Xuebing Army, the Japanese 106th Division rashly attacked to block the Xuebing Army's retreat, but the result was the opposite. was ambushed by the Xuebing Army, and it was precisely because the 106th Division was first surrounded by the Xuebing Army that the Battle of Shiqiao was triggered. As a result, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, and also lost the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the Xuebing Army.
That battle was a painful memory for the Japanese officers present. All the Japanese, including Shan Chiyuan, fell into painful memories. The venue became deserted for a while, and everyone remained silent.
Two minutes later, Nakajima spoke: "The reason is actually very simple, because you put yourself in the position of the main force from the beginning. You only want to destroy the enemy, but you don't even understand the enemy's strength. Xuebing The army has emerged since the time we were in North China, but gentlemen, have any of you really studied it? No, no. So, when you face the sudden burst of powerful combat power of the Xuebing Army, you will You will be panicked. Gentlemen, I did not mean to attack you. If you still hold on to the idea that the imperial army is invincible in Asia, then I suggest you not to participate in this battle. Gentlemen, do you have any questions?"
Nakajima actually did not tell the truth. He did carefully study the progress of the Battle of Nanjing and the reasons for the Japanese defeat, and he came to the conclusion that the reason why the Central China Front Army suffered heavy losses despite gaining the upper hand was because The key is that the top management did not pay attention to the Xuebing Army. However, some people still wanted to encircle and annihilate the Xuebing Army to achieve great feats. In this way, wouldn't they just fall into the Xuebing Army's plan?
