Chapter 1409 An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood

"Committee, good news! Great news from Yichang!"

Immediately afterwards, the communications staff officer walked up to the Chairman with a piece of telegram excitedly and said excitedly:

"Because the Huben army rushed to the battlefield in time, and beat the Japanese invaders head-on with thunder!

The Sixth War Zone took advantage of the situation and organized counter-offensive operations on the spot, which dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Japanese invaders.

At present, Yichang City has been conquered by our army, and Eitaro Uchiyama, head of the Devil Division, and all the assistant officials have all committed suicide by harakiri.

The 54th Division of the Japanese invaders, the 18th and 20th Brigades of independent and mixed groups have given up rescue Yichang City, and their remnants are fleeing towards Jingzhou! "

In the end, the communications staff officer almost roared: "Our army won the battle of Yichang City!"

"What? Come on, show it to me!"

The chairman immediately lifted his spirits, and took the telegram and read it carefully.

"Ah, there is such a thing?"

"Isn't this too timely?"

"Is Yichang broken? We won? Haha, that's great!"

"Even if they still have a bit of conscience and bottom line!"

At the same time, Zhang Wenbai, Bai Jiansheng and others were all attracted to the past, gathered around the Chairman to have a glimpse.

"Damn Xipi! Fortunately, I didn't come too late, and I didn't let the battle of Yichang City fall short!"

After carefully reading the telegram, the chairman finally let out a long breath, and he felt comfortable all of a sudden, as if he had eaten iced watermelon in the dog days.

Before, the chairman was still suffering from the failure of the Yichang Battle, and was still worried that the troops in the sixth theater would be stuck by the devils and suffer serious losses when they retreated.

However, in the blink of an eye, everything changed.

The armored group of the Huben Army rushed in forcefully, beating tens of thousands of devil reinforcements dizzily at once, and the sixth war zone made a decisive counterattack immediately.

Under the joint action of the two forces, Yichang City, which was already on the verge of collapse, was breached in an instant. The desperate Uchiyama Eitaro and other devil officers committed suicide collectively, and the devil reinforcements were defeated and dispersed without any suspense!

I have to say that the ups and downs are too fast and exciting.

Not only the chairman couldn't help being overjoyed for a while, but the rest of the senior generals also burst into laughter, receiving rave reviews for a while!

Without the previous depression and complaints, the Huaxia Huben Army arrived in time anyway, not only did not make the Sixth Theater lose everything, but turned defeat into victory, dealing a heavy blow to the Japanese army.

Moreover, with Yichang City, Dangyang, Qingxi River, Jingmen, Shiqiao, Luyang, Zhicheng, Xiangyang and a series of lost towns recovered, the anti-Japanese situation in the west and northwest of Hubei instantly became extremely favorable!

"Now the western Hubei and northwestern Hubei are all revitalized, and the next step is to look at Changsha."

After a long while, the chairman touched his shiny head, stood up and stood in front of the map and said, "The war in Hunan is the real highlight, but nothing can go wrong!"

Zhang Wenbai answered with a smile: "Principal, please rest assured that the 31st Army, 32nd Army, 22nd Army and 31st Army have entered southern Shonan and are about to reach the front line of the battlefield.

In the 9th War Zone, there were nearly 30 more elite U.S. military ace troops. Including the original troops, the total strength of the 9th War Zone was nearly 60.

I believe that Boling is fully capable of controlling such a heavy army group. Under his command, the Changsha Battle will definitely be a complete victory, and it will definitely become the most eye-catching and brilliant victory in the Allied camp! "

"I hope so!"

The Chairman was grinning from ear to ear. If the Battle of Changsha can really achieve a brilliant victory that attracts worldwide attention as Zhang Wenbai said, it will not only greatly attack the Japanese invaders and alleviate the severe situation of the domestic War of Resistance, but also greatly enhance his strength. personal reputation!

At this time, Bai Jiansheng said: "Committee, I think the Sixth War Zone can take this opportunity to gain a firm foothold in the Jiangdong area. Perhaps we will usher in a new situation of the War of Resistance!"

"well said!"

The chairman raised his brows, and quickly recalled, and immediately said to the communication staff: "Quickly, give Cixiu a power call to let him seize the opportunity to quickly expand the results of the battle when the Japanese army is empty and has no time to take care of Northwest Hubei." !"

……

Outside Yichang City, Chen Cixiu, Wu Qiwei, Ren Yixiong, Meng Tao and others finally met.

At this time, the storm stopped completely. Although the cold was still there, the weather began to clear up, and it was no longer so uncomfortable.

After some mutual introductions and warm greetings, Ren Yixiong said in an apologetic tone: "Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry. We came a little late. Brothers in your army have suffered!"

In order to cooperate with the sixth theater to conquer Yichang, the 1st Army of the Huben Army really did its best.

There is no way, the armored troops of the Huben Army are very fierce and strong, but it is always a taboo for military strategists to go deep alone.

What's more, the armored forces are very dependent on supply lines and communication lines, and it is difficult to exert their full mobility in the case of bad traffic.

In the rainy and snowy season, not all wild and muddy land can easily pass armored troops.

Not to mention, the Japanese air force never stopped attacking and harassing from the beginning to the end, which caused great pressure and damage to the Huben Army.

If it weren't for the Huben Air Force's temporary transfer of several flight regiments to Xi'an Airport, which could provide quite powerful air support, the difficulties faced by the First Army and the price paid would be even greater!

"Where! Where!"

Chen Cixiu waved his hands with a smile on his face and said: "Your army has broken through numerous passes through thorns and thorns along the way, and it is not easy to come here in the starry night and under the heavy rain.

If you hadn't arrived in time for reinforcements this time, we don't know what would have happened!To put it bluntly, your army has contributed a lot to achieving such brilliant results in the battle of Yichang this time! "

After understanding the cause and effect, the resentment in Chen Cixiu's heart naturally disappeared. In the final analysis, his own skills were not as good as others, and the army with three times the enemy's strength was beaten all over the place!

No matter where you talk about it, you can only lose face.

Especially when compared with the Huben Army, there is nothing to say.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your understanding!"

Ren Yixiong nodded, and continued: "I know that this battle was fought too fiercely, and your army paid a great price.

So we want to go to the city to see the scene, let our military reporters record the heroic sacrifices of the brothers, so that we can do more publicity for them when we go back. I wonder if it is possible? "

"Of course no problem, please!"

Chen Cixiu nodded emphatically, not to mention that Ren Yixiong and others want to go to the city to have a look, he might as well be.

Otherwise, would he have to cross the river by boat and meet Ren Yixiong and others outside Yichang City?

Of course, it's not that he wants to inspect the city as a victor, but that he really wants to mourn those national army brothers who have died in Yichang city one after another.

Soon, a series of suffocating and tragic pictures appeared in the eyes of everyone.

The ruined walls, layers of corpses, broken limbs and broken arms can be seen everywhere, and puddles stained red with blood, all of which silently tell the cruelty and bloodiness of the Yichang City Battle, and the martyrs' evocative patriotism. !

In a word, one inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood, one hundred thousand young people and one hundred thousand troops!

Chapter 1410

Luogong Bridge on the south bank of the Miluo River.

Army commander Chen Pei stood on the high ground, holding a telescope and staring worriedly at the defense line along the river where fierce firefights were taking place in the distance.

The 37rd Division of the Japanese Army has been attacking the [-]th Army for two consecutive days, and today's attack is particularly fierce. Not only did a large number of Japanese bombers come to help, but the Devils crossing the river were also desperately fighting.

In winter, the Miluo River, like the Xinqiang River, is in the dry season, and the riverbed east of Guiyi can usually pass people, horses and vehicles.

However, the recent situation is a bit special. Due to the rain and snow for several days, the river has risen sharply, and its depth is enough to submerge people. Naturally, the Miluo River has become a natural barrier for the defenders.

The Chinese defenders deployed on the Miluo River are the 37th Army and the 99th Army. This is the second line of defense built by the Ninth Theater in northern Hunan.

The defense areas of the two armies were bounded by the Luogong Bridge. The 37th Army guarded the Luogong Bridge and its moving line, and the 99th Army guarded the west of Luogong Bridge along the Xiangyin and Yingtian lines.

The 3rd Division and 4th Division of the Japanese Army advanced to the Miluo River defense line in full swing yesterday.

After some tentative attacks, the Japanese army soon discovered that the Huaxia defenders east of Luogong Bridge turned out to be the 37th Army of their old rival Chen Pei.

After getting the news, Anan felt very puzzled and troublesome.

In Anan's only impression, Chen Pei's 37th Army should no longer exist.

Anan Weiji clearly remembered that the defense area of ​​the 37th Army in the previous two Changsha battles had always been on the front line of the Miluo River, and that the 37th Army had been completely defeated by his own troops in the last Changsha battle.

Logically speaking, even if the 37th Army, which had almost suffered a devastating blow, was not revoked, it should be resting in the rear at this time, and it should never have recovered its combat effectiveness so quickly.

However, since the 37th Army appeared on the Miluo River defense line again, Anan Weiji had to pay great attention to it.

Because the 37th Army is not only an old opponent who is familiar with itself, but also knows the Miluo River defense line well, and it is an extremely tenacious iron army.

Therefore, Anan Weiji adjusted the Japanese offensive on the front line of the Miluo River, and focused the attack on the side of Chen Pei's 37th Army, in an attempt to concentrate superior forces to annihilate this stubborn old opponent first.

With the fall of a series of towns such as Fancheng, Zhicheng, Xiangyang, Jingmen, and Yichang, the security situation in Hubei is rapidly deteriorating, almost affecting the security of the Wuhan base camp.

Anan Weiji is naturally in a bad mood recently, and has long had an ominous premonition. Now that he has met his old rival, the 37th Army, on the front line of the Miluo River, his heart has become even more dignified.

Anan knows that the Miluo River is a river famous for the patriot Qu Yuan. Chinese people have very special feelings for this river.

For the Japanese army who launched the offensive in northern Hunan three times before and after, the Miluo River is undoubtedly a very unlucky river!

Ananwei still clearly remembers the experience of the previous two Changsha battles. When the Japanese army crossed this river, they seemed to be sucked into a huge whirlpool and became dangerous, but they just fell into a quagmire and couldn't get out.

And Chen Pei's 37th Army always plays an extremely difficult and important role in this process, and it is an opponent that must be attached great importance to.

During the previous two battles in Changsha, the enemy's cannons, chariots, and cavalry had difficulty moving and it was difficult to exert their advantages because the people disrupted the traffic.

On the other hand, relying on favorable terrain, our army's gunners resisted tenaciously and attacked flexibly. The enemy's attacks were often exposed in front of our positions, causing heavy casualties.

In this way, on the second line of the Miluo River, the balance of power between the two sides has become balanced.By the time the third line of Laodaohe was reached, all the food and ammunition carried by the enemy had been exhausted, and the rear supplies depended on airdrops.

At the same time, to the east of Pingjiang and south of Miluo, there are still small units of our army that have lured the enemy deep but have not withdrawn, and are active behind the enemy's rear.

When each other goes up and down, the general situation is gone, and the once mighty Japanese army has become the end of its strength.In desperation, Anan Weiji had no choice but to order a northward retreat.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain, the enemy flees in embarrassment with their tails between their legs, while our army takes advantage of the victory to counterattack and pursue, and the enemy suffers many casualties.

The 37th Army, which was brave in combat and made great achievements in battle, was awarded the title of "Invincible Army" by the theater command.

Tian Han and Hu Lanqi led a condolence team to the army.When Tian Han learned that Chen Pei, the commander of the army, was not named Duhou, he wrote a letter and presented it as a gift, "Why do you need thousands of households to serve the country with a gentleman's degree?"

As a result, Ananwei had a strong intuition, thinking that if he wanted not to repeat the same mistakes, and if he wanted the next battle to be smooth and happy, he had to concentrate his efforts to eliminate this old opponent first.

Therefore, since yesterday afternoon, the 37th Army has received extra care from the Japanese army.Tanks, aircraft and cannons were all given priority to use on the side of the 37th Army.

The vanguard of the 3rd Division launched a fierce attack on the security position of the 95th Division in Jiangbei, and the 4th Division stormed the security position of the 60th Division in Jiangbei.

The enemy and us fought fiercely until midnight, and the two divisions of the 37th Army tenaciously withstood the crazy Japanese attack.

After resting for a few hours, at four o'clock this morning, the Japanese army began to attack again.

Under the powerful offensive of the Japanese army, the security positions of the 37th Army in Jiangbei were lost one by one, and almost all the defenders were killed.

At present, the two divisions of the Japanese army are crossing the Miluo River under the cover of artillery and aircraft. They have rushed to the other side of the river many times, but they were finally repelled by the brave and tenacious officers and soldiers of the 37th Army.

However, the 37th Division and 60th Division of the 95th Army, which attracted all the firepower, suffered very serious casualties, and several defensive lines along the river have been lost several times.

Mount Yuelu, the Command Post of the Chief Command of the 9th Theater.

Xue Boling, Yang Zihui, Wang Fangzhou and others are studying and discussing the current battle situation around the map and sand table in the command post.

At this moment, a communication staff officer rushed over and said: "Report to Chief Xue, the 37th Army Jidian Xinkai City is occupied by the Japanese army!"

"What? What the hell is the 37th Army doing? It took just over a day to lose the new market!"

Xue Boling frowned immediately.

Since the start of the Battle of Changsha, Xue Boling has been staying in the command post near the Aiwan Pavilion on Yuelu Mountain, nervously watching everything that happened on the battlefields.

Xue Boling's Heavenly Furnace strategy is to use the battlefield centered on Changsha as a natural giant furnace to gather and annihilate the Japanese army. Yang Zihui's army has already led the Japanese army into the Tianlu at Xinqianghe, and now he needs troops from all directions. Great firepower.

Will the Japanese army attack Changsha, or will they get into the hearth of the Tianfu?

If the Japanese army really attacked Changsha and the main force gathered near Changsha, then as long as the Chinese troops encircled by the four sides arrived in time, the Japanese army could be surrounded and roasted in the hearth.

In order to command the various ministries to fight nearby, Xue Boling was determined to draw the ground as a prison, and could not stick to the front line.

Yuelu Mountain is the highest point in Changsha. Here he can overlook the panorama of the battle across the Xiangjiang River and hear the sound of guns defending Changsha with his own ears.

Although it is said that in the end the main force of the Japanese army will be brought into the hearth of Changsha to gather and annihilate them, but the pace should not be too fast. At least a wave of enemy forces must be consumed first, and the 30 Huaxia Expeditionary Force, which has returned from China, arrives on the battlefield. That's right?

Chapter 1411 Old Enmity Unrevenged and New Enmity

Yang Zihui said in a deep voice, "You can't blame Duhou entirely. The Japanese army has two Type-A divisions attacking them in turn. The devil's planes, tanks and cannons are really not vegetarians!"

Speaking of this, Yang Zihui's expression became gloomy, and he couldn't help but think of the past nine days and nine nights. The two armies of the 27th Army suffered heavy casualties under the crazy attack of the devils, and almost suffered a devastating blow.

This is also thanks to the fact that the National Government and the Huben Army have reinforced more than 27 combat aircraft to Hengyang Airport and Zhijiang Airport, and provided powerful air support for the [-]th Army.

Otherwise, let alone sticking to it for nine days and nine nights, I am afraid that the 27th Army should have been wiped out long ago.
