Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Because Takahashi Takaji knew very well that Commander Anan Weiji, who was on the expedition to the Yueyang Army Command Post, was eagerly waiting for good news, and eagerly hoped that the 3rd Division could occupy Changsha as soon as possible.

At the same time, relying on the strong intuition of the soldiers, Takahashi Tagaji had a premonition that if Changsha could not be conquered as soon as possible, they would fall into heavy defense.

"Kato-kun, now that the war is at a critical moment, the next step is to see the performance of your Kato brigade."

The Kato Brigade is famous for its brave attacks and good at night battles. Originally Takahashi Tagaji planned to use this brigade in the most critical battles.

But considering various factors, Takahashi Takaji could only play out the trump card that Xue hid in his hand in advance.

Japan and Germany currently have vehicle-mounted night vision devices, but the night vision devices equipped by individual soldiers have not been completely successful so far, so night combat is still a very difficult combat condition for the Japanese army.

However, Takahashi Takaji had no time to waste, and it was impossible to wait until dawn to attack.

Major Kato Suichi nodded confidently and said, "Please rest assured, General, we will definitely live up to our high expectations!"

"well!"

Takahashi Takaji nodded in satisfaction, then looked down at his watch and said, "One hour later, at nine o'clock, our army will attack again. Kato-kun, go down and get ready, I will Sending you up at a critical moment, I will give you the opportunity to make the greatest contribution!"

"Thank you General for your kindness!"

Kato Souichi paused again, a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes.

Soon it was nine o'clock in the evening, and the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on Changsha again.

Not long after the battle started, Takahashi Takaji, in addition to ordering the troops to continue to strengthen the attack, also dispatched another surprise attack force to sneak into the 3rd Division's security position Baishaling houses through the gap in the battlefield, in an attempt to attack Tianxin Pavilion by taking advantage of troubled waters. To seize the commanding heights of Changsha City.

In an instant, outside the east and south gates of Changsha, gunfire raged, and there were loud gunshots and killing sounds. Fang Xianjue's division and Zhou Qingxiang's division fought fiercely with the Japanese army overnight, stubbornly resisting the Japanese army's attack.

Xue Boling in the Yuelu Mountain command post also became highly nervous. At this time, it was too dark to see the battlefields in Changsha City clearly, and there was no way to mobilize artillery for fire support.

One-sided anxious waiting is undoubtedly the most tormenting!

Unbearable, Xue Boling called the Tenth Division of the Reserve who was fighting on the front line.

After answering the phone, Xue Boling didn't beat around the bush, and asked Fang Juexian directly, "How long will you hold on to your position?"

Fang Juexian immediately replied sonorously: "Report to Chief Xue, at least one week can be kept!"

"good very good!"

Hearing this, Xue Boling immediately felt comfortable, nodded heavily and hung up the phone.

Next, Xue Boling called Li Yutang again to learn more about the current battle situation.

After Fang Juexian hung up the phone, he called his adjutant Zhang Guangkuan over, handed a letter he had just written to him and said, "This letter is very important, send someone to my family in the rear right away, It must be delivered by tomorrow."

It turned out that this was a will written by Fang Juexian, and the content was as follows:

Yunhua my wife:

This time, our army was ordered to stick to Changsha, and the task was heavy. The survival of Changsha was related to the overall success or failure of the War of Resistance. I was determined to die for the country.

If you die in battle, the government will take care of you and your five sons.

Make sure that the five sons can all graduate from college, be a good person, follow my will, and serve the party and the country, then I will be smiling forever.

I hope my wife will not be sad!

Fu Zishan

"Strong! Strong!"

Soon the letter was sent to the political department of the division. After reading the letter, Yang Zhenghua was quite shocked and decided to publish this will to boost morale.

Therefore, Yang Zhenghua immediately handed over the letter to Ma Youcheng and asked him to cross the river overnight to deliver the letter to Changsha Daily.

The next day, the newspaper published the will on the headline of the front page with the headline "Mr. Fang vowed to defend the land to the death and made a will in advance".

At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, the No.11 Army Command Post in Yueyang.

"Nani? Is this true? The Ninth War Zone actually wants to encircle and wipe out the main force of the No. 11 Army in Changsha?"

After reading the deciphered telegram sent by the special situation squad, and seeing the long list of troop numbers on it, Anan was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

It turned out that after more than ten days of hard work, the intelligence staff of the Devil's Special Intelligence Squad finally deciphered the radio code used by the Ninth War Zone in this battle tonight.

And the first telegram they deciphered was Xue Boling's order yesterday asking all the armies to move to Changsha and reach the first attack arrival line.

"Hayi! The current information is indeed so, although I really don't want to face this fact."

Kinoshita nodded solemnly, and then said, "Before we discovered that some of the troops in the ninth war zone were missing, and now we finally know what they are doing."

"Baga! These damn Huaxia commanders have really big appetites!"

Ananwei's face turned pale immediately, knowing that Xue Boling was a tough opponent with a firm will to resist the war and a strategy, but this sudden information still surprised him.

However, it seems a bit late now. The main force of the No.11 Army has assembled outside Changsha City. It can be said that the trousers have been taken off. How can it be easily changed if you want to?

Seeing Anan Weiji's appearance like this, Kinoshita Isamu was taken aback and said: "Anan-kun, don't you still want to occupy Changsha?"

"Why not?"

Anan raised his brows a few times, and said firmly, "Changsha City is at your fingertips, as long as we step up our offensive and occupy Changsha within two days, then the tactics of the ninth war zone will be defeated by themselves!

If we use it properly, maybe this will be the best time to wipe out the ninth theater! "

Changsha is Ananweiji's obsession, and now he is only one step away from his goal. Ananweiji really doesn't want to miss it again.

Although he knew it would be very risky to do so, but "you don't panic when you have it in your hand", Anan only believed that he still had a lot of chips and reliance in his hand, but instead wanted to play tricks and play a big one!

Chapter 1419 Tianxin Pavilion

"Having said that, isn't it too risky?"

Kinoshita Yong frowned slightly, why didn't he want to be able to make contributions, why didn't he want to follow Anan Weiji wholeheartedly, but the telegram suddenly deciphered by the special situation team gave him a very ominous premonition.

"Mr. Kinoshita, the so-called brave man wins when we meet on a narrow road. At this time, we have no way out. We can only fight hard. As long as we can occupy Changsha within two days, all problems will be solved!"

Ananwei waved his hand a few times, and then looked at Kinoshita Yudao very seriously, "Please rest assured Kinoshita-kun, if there is any mistake, I will take full responsibility for it!"

As the saying goes, "there is no turning back when you open the bow", once a person forms inertial thinking and has obsession, he is like a red-eyed gambler, and it is difficult to get out of it, unless he really loses nothing!

Anan Weiji is in such a gambler state now, no one can persuade him to accept it immediately!

After finishing speaking, Anan Yuji immediately sent an urgent telegram to Takahashi Tagaji, ordering the 3rd Division to intensify its attack, and to resolve the battle before the ninth war zone encircled the outer wing.

Then, Anan Weiji gave the 4th Division an order to join the battle in the early morning of tomorrow, to start the attack from the eastern and northern suburbs, and cooperate with the 3rd Division to attack in the southeastern suburb.

In addition, Anan Weiji also ordered the 101st Division and the second-line army to strengthen the security of the eastern mountainous area of ​​Changsha and Liuyang River to protect the rear safety of the attacking troops.

Of course, Anan would never forget the Japanese Kwantung Army and Air Force who were fighting together, and urged the Kwantung Army to defeat the national army's interception defense line as soon as possible, and join the main force of the No.11 Army in the east of Changsha as soon as possible.

After Takahashi Takaji received the urgent telegram, he hurriedly ordered the troops to attack the Zuojiatang position again.

At zero o'clock, the Zuojiatang position, the enemy and us, broke out again for a position with an incomparable distance.

Facing the frenzied attack of the Japanese army, the officers and soldiers of the 10th Division prepared to resist with all their strength. I don’t know how many times the frenzied attack of the Japanese army was repelled. Until dawn, the Zuojiatang position was still firmly in the hands of our army!

"Kato-kun, please!"

After giving the order to attack Zuojiatang, Takahashi Tagaji also used Xuezang's Kato Brigade.

"Hay!"

"Imperial warriors, the time has come to make contributions to the Great Japanese Empire! Assault!"

"Onboard! Onboard!"

After waiting for a long time and finally waiting for the chance to play, Kato Suyi and the other devil soldiers screamed excitedly as if they had been spat out, and immediately led the troops from the headquarters to grope for Changsha City in the dark.

The task of the Kato Brigade was to break into the houses of Baisha Ridge and Baisha Street through the gap of the battlefield again, and then attack Tianxin Pavilion to seize the commanding heights of Changsha City.

The Japanese army invaded Changsha three times, but they all retreated from Changsha. Changsha became a heroic city that persisted in the war of resistance for five years.Since Tianxin Pavilion occupies the commanding heights in Changsha City, it has become the main position of our army's key defense in the three battles.

The Tianxin Pavilion was first built in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. Qiu Guangying, the commander of the Changsha garrison, built the city wall of Changsha, replacing all the earthen city walls built in the Yuan Dynasty with stone-based bricks.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to invade Changsha, and the city walls were destroyed. In the 11th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou was stationed in Changsha, and demolished the bricks and stones of the palace of the Ming Dynasty to build the city wall, making Changsha once again "the city is so majestic that it is better than other counties".

Then, it was destroyed and repaired again during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement. Until 1914, in order to build the road around the city, the national government only kept a 251-meter section of the city wall, which is now the location of Tianxin Pavilion.

Soon, Kato Suyi led people to Baisha Street.

Looking forward, in the thick night, the broken eaves and broken walls on both sides of Baisha Street, the barricades in the middle of the street, and the Tianxin Pavilion farther away are vaguely visible, but their basic outlines are still completely distinguishable. come out.

The battle in the southeastern suburbs is going on fiercely, and the sound of guns and guns can be heard from a distance like fried beans, but it is surprisingly quiet here, as if there is no one there.

But Kato Suichi knew that there was a very tenacious and brave Chinese army hidden here, and the failure of the raid a few hours ago was enough to illustrate this point.

But at this moment, even if this is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, Kato Soichi must go there.

After observing for a while, Suichi Kato ordered the troops to start advancing from the broken eaves and broken walls on both sides of the street with a wave of his hand.

Kato Souichi was very clever. Instead of walking directly on the relatively flat main street, he walked forward from the residential areas that had been burned to ruins on both sides.

Although the ruins on both sides of the street are rough and difficult to walk, they can provide good cover at any time, unlike walking on the main street where there is nowhere to hide, and bullets will fall down a large area.

But obviously, doing so can only be a waste of effort.

Soon, the Huaxia defenders hiding in Baisha Street used the guys in their hands to make these devil soldiers who came to sneak attack suffer.

After a series of gunshots and explosions, more than a dozen devil soldiers who rushed to the front fell into a pool of blood.

"Baga! Empire warriors, attack!"

Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Kato Suichi lost all illusions and luck, and immediately ordered the troops to fire with full firepower, and officially launched the onslaught.

In an instant, there were gunshots and explosions, and clusters of flames continued to flash and rise in Baisha Street.

"These bastards are really wicked, and they came to our place to sneak attack again! Hmph, pass on the order, let the brothers beat them hard, everyone will die on the battlefield! We must stand up!"

At this moment, it is Ge Xiancai, the commander of the 28th regiment of the Huaxia garrison, who is guarding the Tianxin Pavilion Baisha Street position.

After the Japanese army began to attack this morning, the Japanese army took turns to bomb the first-line positions of the 10th Reserve Division, and the most forward 29th regiment position naturally bore the brunt.

After the frantic shelling and bombing, the main force of the Japanese army pointed directly at the position of the 10th Division, and attacked the 29th Regiment with overwhelming momentum.

The 29th Regiment's position from Jinpenling to Houzishi was 8000 meters long. Under the onslaught of the Japanese army, the casualties of the whole regiment became more and more serious, and they could not resist at 10 am.

The Japanese army took advantage of the situation to charge, and the whole regiment collapsed.

Losing his position, the regiment leader Zhang Yuequn fled in a hurry, so he followed Ma Youcheng, the supervising army sent by the Political Department, to the Division Political Department in desperation.

Everyone knew the order that "those who retreated without authorization should be shot on the spot." The two risked their lives and ran to the Political Department with nervous expressions.

Later, thanks to Fang Jue's lenient, Zhang Yuequn was not dealt with by the military law, but asked him to gather the troops immediately to commit crimes and meritorious deeds.

At that time, the Japanese army had already begun to attack the second line of defense. Ge Xiancai led the 28th regiment to resist the Japanese army desperately, and did not give up an inch of ground, and really held the position.

Seeing that this was not possible, the Japanese army used artillery to bombard the positions around Donggua Mountain and Mobangtang.

In the evening of fierce fighting, Donggua Mountain, which the 28th regiment paid a heavy price, finally fell.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuequn, who had escaped from the dead, immediately led the 29th Regiment to counterattack, regained Donggua Mountain, and occupied it as his firm position.

That night, the Divisional Headquarters of the 10th Preparatory Division issued an unexpected notice: "The military headquarters transferred the chief Xue Dian, and Zhang Yuequn, the head of the 29th regiment, was promoted to the head of the major general."

Zhang Yuequn can be regarded as a sinful meritorious service, a blessing in disguise.

The 28th regiment led by Xiancai retreated to the core position of Baisha Street in Tianxin Pavilion.

Chapter 1420 They Are Crazy

The Chinese army and the Japanese army fought street by street. The officers and soldiers guarding the Tianxin Pavilion held the determination to live and die with Changsha under the ruined walls after the "Wenxi Fire", and swore to the death.

The [-]th and [-]th Squadrons of the Kato Brigade rushed to the defenders' positions, but suffered heavy casualties from the defenders' intensive bullet and mortar bombardment. After many assaults, the two squadrons had to stop their attack.

"idiot!"

Seeing that there was no way to break through from Baisha Street, the impetuous Kato Suichi, his adjutant and a sergeant walked through the private houses in Baishaling and touched the sentry line of Ge Xiancai's regiment.

As a result, the defenders fired a bullet from under the eaves and pierced Kato's lower abdomen. Kato and his entourage were killed in Changsha.

Immediately afterwards, Ge Xiancai led the officers and soldiers of the 28th Regiment, and with fierce firepower, they pressed the two squadrons sent by Kato into a warehouse in Baishaling, surrounded them, poured gasoline on the house, and burned nearly [-] Japanese soldiers to death. .

The Huaxia soldiers found Kato's body and found the plans and orders of the Japanese army since its dispatch. The Huaxia army learned that the Japanese army's ammunition was about to run out and grasped the plan of the Japanese 3rd Division.

After a night of fierce fighting, the sky finally dawned again.

At dawn, the desperate Anan Weiji called the largest bomber formation to the front line of Changsha to assist the Japanese attack on the ground.

Wave after wave of Japanese planes circled again and again, bombarding the defenders' positions indiscriminately.

Twelve enemy planes concentrated at low altitude to bombard and straf the southern area.Twelve planes went, and another twelve planes came, bombing in turn.
