This is September 23rd. The Chinese Frontline General Headquarters believes that it can basically end the battle on Kyushu Island with a beautiful attack!
The entire strength of two divisions and two brigades was devoted to the attack.
At the same time, the Japanese "Red Army" also began to operate more frequently.
They used guerrilla warfare to continuously inflict the most terrifying attacks on the Japanese government troops who were struggling in the frontal battlefield.
Although such an attack could not achieve the result of annihilating many people, it prevented the Japanese army from concentrating all its energy to deal with the challenges from the front.
The Japanese army on Kyushu Island has been very passive and difficult.
Although Hamae Takasumi still wants to persist, it is obvious that the current situation has made him powerless. All he can do is to delay the advance of the squadron as much as possible and allow himself and his army to survive as long as possible.
Sato Lee, who was supervising the battle on the front line, also felt tremendous pressure...
A large number of squadrons, under the cover of aircraft, artillery and tanks, frequently launched attacks on Japanese positions. Each attack always caused the Japanese to suffer huge losses.
11th Company, September 23, 1932, 15:30 pm.
The whole company assaulted very quickly. Half an hour ago, they received a new order from the battalion headquarters. They continued to advance along the Kurume line. They must reach Okafen before 6 p.m. and build a defense line on the spot.
.
But what made Ji Dechun embarrassed was that they found that at least two squadrons of Japanese troops had gathered in Gangfen, and they also had a cannon. If they attacked hard, they would only rely on a forcibly kidnapped tank and a cannon.
A mortar with only two shells left is obviously unrealistic.
"I won't go." Huang Qiyun, commander of No. 216, gave a very clear answer: "That cannon can blow up my tank so hard that it can't move like a turtle, and I only have the last shell left."
pieces!"
Somewhat difficult to handle.
The assault speed of the 11th Company was too fast, and it was difficult to deliver the supplies to them in time. What made the 11th Company even more troublesome was that there were no supply trucks of the Chinese ** team nearby.
We just asked the battalion headquarters for supplies, but the battalion commander said that new supplies would not be delivered until at least tomorrow morning. But now how can we continue the battle without artillery shells?
"Go to Yegang." Ji Dechun suddenly issued this order.
"Yegang? Our destination is Gangfen..." Company deputy Wang Zhongmin hesitated: "What if the battalion headquarters traces it?"
"There are two Japanese squadrons and one cannon in Gangfen!" Ji Dechun looked very angry: "We don't have much ammunition and ammunition anymore. Those crazy people at the battalion headquarters sent us to attack Gangfen. They are simply asking us to
To die...Okafen, Yegao, the names sound almost the same."
Reporter Liu Qinglin quickly recorded it: "The company commander once again disobeyed his superiors' orders. If he hadn't been winning, he would have been court-martialed ten times."
"You all come over and take a look." Ji Dechun called several platoon leaders to his side: "We occupied Yegang. It is said that there is a small Japanese arsenal there, which is enough for us to completely supply at once. And Yegang controls the Gangfen.
On the flanks, the Japanese have become like chickens in a cage, unable to fly even if they want to fly¨一"
Several platoon commanders listened indifferently. Anyway, they could do whatever the company commander told them to do. If something happened, the company commander would be there to take care of them.
The 11th Company disobeyed the orders of the battalion headquarters and became a very special unit in the Kyushu Island landing battle.
They have been winning since they landed on Kyushu Island, but their company commander had his own opinions and disobeyed orders from the battalion headquarters twice.
Or will he be sent to a military court after the battle is over? Ji Dechun can't control that much anymore...
Ye Gang, 17:00 sharp!
Several Japanese soldiers were walking there, and the battle was still very far away from them. The enemy would not appear in front of them unless Okafen fell.
These Japanese did not want to rush into the battle so quickly, although sooner or later they would have to face the terrifying artillery attacks from the Chinese.
There was a faint roar of motors in the distance, but the Japanese didn't pay much attention to it. Maybe it was the troops at the front coming back for supplies, right?
A Japanese sergeant picked up his binoculars and looked forward.
What's a tanker doing here? Well, what's a tanker doing here? They should be fighting the Chinna army on the front line now, instead of running here. Apart from fuel, they don't have any artillery shells to replenish them.
It doesn't seem to be particularly right. It doesn't quite look like a Japanese tank...
The sergeant put down the binoculars, rubbed his eyes, and then picked up the binoculars again.
He was sure that this was not an imperial tank, it was... A group of soldiers wearing helmets began to appear behind the tank. The style of this helmet was not that of the Imperial Army. It was...
"Enemy!" the sergeant suddenly shouted heartbreakingly: "The enemy is attacking!"
Yegang, at 17:00 sharp, the 11th Company of the 18th Brigade of the 9th Division of the Chinese National Defense Force began to attack Yegang!
The Japanese troops in Yegang were completely unprepared. The sudden appearance of the Chinese made them a mess. The Japanese soldiers ran out of the barracks in panic, picked up their weapons in a panic, and threw themselves into the battle in a panic.
All the elite troops have been deployed to the front lines to fight with the Chinese. Most of the troops here have never fought in a war, and more than half of the soldiers were just recruited after the Chinese began to land on Kyushu Island.
What can be expected from such a force?
The 11th Company eliminated the garrison here without much effort and occupied the entire wild hill.
From the time when the Central Army Corps landed to the present day, the chaos of the Japanese army's command can be imagined. There is a small Japanese arsenal in Yegang. For such an important place, the Japanese commander actually sent such a force with no combat experience to guard such an important place.
.
The top commander of the Japanese army here, Major Kawashima Ko, breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he became a prisoner of the Chinese, he finally no longer had to face the terrible war.
When the war is over, he will be released and continue to work at his previous job.
Before the war broke out, Kawashima Taka was a teacher in Kumamoto. His responsibility was to educate students, not to command a group of soldiers to fight the enemy to the death on the battlefield.
"Major Taka Kawashima."
"Captain Ji Dechun!"
After the top commanders of the Chinese and Japanese troops here informed each other of their names and ranks, Ji Dechun said: "Major Kawashima Gao, I hope your subordinates can abide by prisoner of war discipline and avoid unnecessary trouble. My
Our superiors have issued orders, and we have the right to take drastic measures against all potential dangers."
"I understand." Kawashima Gao was frightened: "We don't really want to go to war, so we will cooperate."
"Take me to visit the arsenal."
"clear."
The weapons, ammunition, and ammunition in this small arsenal are relatively sufficient. But the only thing that disappointed Huang Qiyun was that he did not get the shells that his tanks urgently needed.
Major Kawashima Gao did appear to be very cooperative. He carefully introduced the situation at Yegan to the Chinese, as well as the equipment of the nearby Japanese troops and the upcoming attack.
It is estimated that the Japanese army can devote more than one brigade or more troops to fight for Nogaoka, and the commander will be Colonel Ushio Yoshihito who is preparing to pass through Nogaoka to reinforce the front line.
Ji Dechun suddenly discovered that his luck was not as good as he imagined.
I thought that after capturing Yegan, the battle would become very easy, but what I didn't expect was that a Japanese brigade to reinforce the front line would be passing through here.
"Colonel Ushio's troops will pass by here around 8 o'clock tonight as agreed..."
Kawashima Gao's words made Ji Dechun take out his watch and look at it. It was 18 o'clock, which meant that in two hours, a large group of Japanese troops would appear in Yegang.
"Everyone is here, build a position and prepare to fight!"
"Get ready to fight, get ready to fight! Set up the guys!"
Ji Dechun finally thought of the battalion headquarters: "Send power to the battalion headquarters, our army has occupied the wild hills..."
Not surprisingly, the battalion commander's roar came again: "What I want you to occupy is a hill, not a wild hill."
Former enemy headquarters on Kyushu Island, China.
"What? One of our companies took control of Yegan?" Wang Mingzhang thought he had heard wrongly.
"Yes, it's the 11th Company." Bai Chongxi immediately replied: "Originally, their mission was to march to Gangfen, but after discovering that the Japanese army's firepower was relatively strong there, they moved to Yeggang and successfully occupied it."
Wang Mingzhang immediately came to the map and looked at it for a while: "Immediately order all the 18th Brigade to advance to Yegang, all of them! Order the 9th Tank Regiment to assist in the battle and advance to Yegang at full speed! Tell the 11th Company to personally send orders from the general headquarters.
I gave them orders in my name. If you don’t want to go to a military court for disobeying military orders, I’ll hold them against you."
"yes!"
Wang Mingzhang did not expect that a small fish would swim into Yegang, and he did not expect that Yegang would actually let this little fish control him.
As long as Nogaoka can be firmly held, the enemies on the Kurume front line will lose contact with Kumamoto, and the battle on Kyushu Island will soon end early.
The main force of the Japanese army will suffer a disastrous defeat in Kurume far ahead of schedule!
The situation on the battlefield is always changing rapidly, but Wang Mingzhang was keen to capture the hope of resolving the battle on Kyushu Island in advance during emergencies! (To be continued, this text is provided by "". If you like this work,
