Heroes of the War of Resistance

Regardless of conspiracy or overt conspiracy, it is an unchangeable fact that Hu Biao led his troops to raid Linxiang City successfully.What worried the Japanese troops on the front line most was that the supply line in northern Hunan was cut off, and it is still unknown when this supply line will be opened.

What's more, during the daytime reconnaissance by plane, you can still see several towns around Linxiang, all of which are on strict defense.This also means that if you want to restore this supply line, I am afraid that the Japanese army will have to hurry up.

As soon as the infantry regiment dispatched by the Japanese army from Yueyang set off at the front, the two main divisions assembled in the ninth war zone sneaked across Dongting Lake at night.Not long after landing, the two main divisions launched a fierce attack, which caught the Japanese army off guard.

As far as the Japanese army attacked Xingcheng in Hunan Province this time, they always believed that the ninth war zone was more defensive than offensive. They never thought that the ninth war zone would dare to cross Dongting Lake and directly launch a counterattack against the heavily fortified area of ​​​​the Japanese army.

If the previous infantry regiment is still there, the Japanese army will still have reinforcements in the Yueyang area.The infantry wing that was originally serving as a reserve team was transferred away, and it was impossible to transfer back in a short time.The only thing that can be done is to try to block the attacking troops of the ninth theater.

After receiving the information from Yue Yang, Hu Biao, who was marching at night, sighed a little, "Turning from defense to offense, attacking the enemy's weakness by pointing out the surface, Xue Yue's timing and location of attack will indeed cause headaches for the Japanese army.

Withdraw the front-line troops, and the troops in the ninth war zone will take advantage of the victory to pursue them, making it impossible for the little devil to retreat safely.If the frontline troops are not withdrawn, the little devils stationed in Yueyang may be surrounded and wiped out.

Once Yue Yang fell, the flanks of the Japanese army would be exposed under the eyes of the Ninth War Zone.With the superiority of troops in the ninth war zone, the Japanese army might suffer a bit this time.It is estimated that this time, the little devil should find the main brigade we sent, right? "

"Hehe! We should have found out! On the way to Yueyang, we also deliberately wiped out the Japanese army in several small towns. And there was a little devil in a county who originally planned to come out to pursue him, but we beat him up and ran away.

Presumably, the little devil should already know that we are joining forces with the Ninth War Zone to attack their troops stationed at Yue Yang.The infantry regiment sent for reinforcements earlier has stopped advancing and started to build fortifications in Yueyang wài wéi! "

Listening to the situation reported by the guards, Hu Biao also smiled and said, "Just take the bait, little devil! Order the troops to speed up the march, and try to reach the next base before dawn. Before dawn, you must leave Linxiang and enter Hubei Province!"

"Yes!"

Although with the strength in Hu Biao's hands, he should have a chance to encircle and annihilate the infantry regiment that came from Yueyang.But Hu Biao didn't want to get too entangled with the Japanese army. It was the wisest choice to turn around and leave after getting the benefits.

The little devil is really entangled, and Hu Biao wants to slip away from the little devil's nose at that time, I'm afraid it will be really difficult.What's more, Hu Biao led his troops to join the war, which had already created an opportunity for the Ninth War Zone, and wiped out a lot of little devils.

In public and private, Hu Biao feels that he has done a lot.As long as history does not go wrong, the little devil's first attack on Star City will end in failure.With this battle, Xue Yue was able to become a regular and confirmed his status as a famous general in the War of Resistance.

Surrounding Star City, Xue Yue confronted several so-called famous generals of the Japanese army, although he also failed sometimes.But in terms of the results of the battle, Xue Yue's battle in Xingcheng really caused the Japanese army a lot of suffering and consumed a lot of vitality.

Knowing that the Ninth War Zone sent a large number of elite troops to cross Dongting Lake at night to attack the garrison troops stationed at Yueyang, the Japanese front-line commander Neiji Okamura also seemed surprised, and said directly, "So many troops crossed the river, why didn't the security troops know?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, the specific situation is not clear. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the Chinese Army has used at least two divisions in this battle. And we have less than one brigade stationed in Yueyang.

In addition, the garrison in Linxiang sent an urgent telegram, and a large number of main forces of the Chinese army rushed towards Yueyang overnight.Although the troops along the way were blocked, they were all defeated by the Chinese army.The infantry wing that has sent reinforcements is building fortifications. "

"Gah! How many people are there in the Chinese army who fled from Linxiang City?"

"I don't have much relevant information at the moment. According to the information sent by the troops along the line, there are probably about one division of troops!"

There were two divisions crossing Dongting Lake, and another division that rushed from Linxiang to Yueyang overnight.Even if the little devil claims to be invincible in land battles, it is difficult to imagine the difficulty of resisting the siege of three divisions with only one brigade of troops.

Looking at the map hanging in the command room, Neiji Okamura also began to think about dispatching reinforcements from there.Surrounding the surrounding cities of Star City, there are many places where the Ninth War Zone borders the Japanese army, and the Japanese army itself is somewhat lacking in strength.

Compared with the absolute superiority of the Ninth Theater in terms of military strength, the only advantage the Japanese army has may be its combat literacy and weaponry.It is a pity that the terrain of these battlefields around Star City is not conducive to the attacking Japanese army.

Moreover, the commander who confronted Ningji Okamura this time was also Xue Yue, who completely surrounded and annihilated the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army during the Battle of Wuhan.There are no worthless people under the prestigious name, Neiji Okamura already felt that Xue Yue was not easy to deal with.

Staring at the battle map for a long time, Okamura Ningji could only sigh in the end, "It seems that we are still too hasty in this battle. Xue Yue is really difficult to deal with. If he wants to capture Star City, he can only find another good opportunity." !"

"Your Excellency, Commander, are we going to give up capturing Star City?"

Listening to what Okamura Neiji said, the staff officers next to him were also shocked.In their view, the purpose of this battle is to capture Star City and encircle and wipe out the main force of the Ninth Theater.But until now, the Japanese army has not found much bargain.

Although the Japanese army wiped out many troops in the Ninth Theater, the Japanese army also paid a high price.Not to mention that Xingcheng was not defeated, but now it puts itself in a dangerous situation.Continuing to storm Star City will only make the gains outweigh the losses.

Faced with the shock of his subordinates, Neiji Okamura shook his head and said, "Although this decision was sudden, we must do it now. Once the flank is lost, our main force will be exposed to the eyes of the Chinese army, and the situation will be even more dangerous.

If we give up and continue to attack Star City, we will be able to withdraw the attacking men from the front line.In this way, it can not only get rid of the danger of the supply line being cut off, but also control the currently occupied area, laying a good foundation for the next attack. "

Following Okamura Neiji's decisive decision to stop attacking Star City and withdraw the troops on the front line, although the staff officers were surprised, they knew that this was the best choice.For the sake of the battle, the combat troops are indeed very tired.

Although certain results were obtained, the combat objectives set before the war still failed to be achieved.You can continue to attack forcefully, and all participating troops may face the danger of being surrounded by anti-encirclement.Once the main force is damaged, it is really not worth the loss!

As the war continued and protracted, many Japanese commanders realized that their battle lines were constantly being stretched, and they were already experiencing shortages of troops and difficulties in supplying supplies.On the other hand, the anti-Japanese troops continued to grow through experience.

The more confrontations with the Japanese army, the more baptism and training the anti-Japanese troops received.Coupled with China's vast land and large population, in terms of the potential for long-term tactics, I am afraid that the Japanese army is not an opponent at all.The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for the Japanese army.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese army also began to focus on operating the currently occupied ruled areas, and occasionally organized large-scale battles, hoping to encircle and wipe out more main forces of the Japanese army.As for when this war will end, I am afraid that many people will not be able to give an answer.

As the leading general selected by the Japanese army, Neiji Okamura naturally has some skills.Of course, he also knows the principle of breaking when he breaks.After reaching an agreement with his subordinates, Neiji Okamura quickly arranged for the retreat of the troops.

The generals of the two armies fought each other, and it didn't have much impact on Hu Biao.By daybreak, Hu Biao and the troops who ordered the withdrawal had successfully left Linxiang and arrived in the neighboring province of Hubei.Here, Xu Sandao also established a transfer station.

After the troops arrived, the battalion commanders of the assault battalions immediately issued an order to rest and reorganize.A long-distance march overnight will naturally consume a lot of physical and energy for the officers and soldiers.After eating, all the troops began to hide in the temporary camp to rest.

Calling the battalion-level officers for a meeting, Hu Biao quickly assigned some tasks.After resting for a whole day, the troops will continue to march overnight.If you don’t deploy ahead of time, it’s easy to have problems on the march

question.

Hu Biao was not very worried about the troops selected from various guerrillas.Moving to the territory of Hunan Province, the assault battalions have been going on a march like this for a long time.Only the new barracks need more attention.

"In terms of food, the new barracks should add more meat and oil to ensure the physical exertion of the officers and soldiers. In addition, before the departure, let the cooking platoon steam more meat buns or steamed buns, and let the officers and soldiers eat on the road to replenish the exhausted energy.

In terms of food, clothing and housing, we can give some care to the new barracks.On the way to the army, those recruits must know that if anyone wants to become a deserter, the end will be very miserable.Although the long-distance march is hard, it can also exercise their will and physique! "

"Don't worry, Langtou! On the way here, I have already explained to the backbone of the battalion, and the soldiers have long been mentally prepared."

"That's good! On the march, try not to fall behind. Those who are really unwell must be placed in a temporary camp. Unless there are special circumstances, all participating troops must march with the main force!"

"understand!"

At the end of the meeting, Hu Biao began to send telegrams to the troops along the line again, asking about the enemy's situation along the way, and Hu Biao did not forget to pay attention to the battle situation in Linxiang.Even though the main force has left, Linxiang is still under Hu Biao's control.

Compared with Linxiang, which became the focus of the Japanese army's attention a day ago, Yue Yang, which is being attacked by the ninth war zone, has also become a new battlefield.The offensive force of the Ninth War Zone has already broken through the Japanese defense line around Dongting Lake.

After defeating the Japanese defense force, the main force of the Ninth War Zone did not stop and began to encircle Yueyang City, which was occupied by the Japanese army.Judging by this stance, the battle during the day is likely to be even more tragic. It is really unknown whether the Japanese army can hold Yue Yang!

Text Chapter 45 Blown to ruins!

No one expected it, just when everyone thought that there was only time left for the Japanese army to capture Star City.However, the Ninth War Zone tore a hole in the front line of Yueyang, and besieged all the Japanese troops stationed in Yueyang in Yueyang City.

After completing the encirclement of Yueyang City and defeating the defensive troops deployed by the Japanese army outside the city, Xue Yue again dispatched reserve troops to advance to Yueyang.Originally planning to rescue the Japanese garrison in Linxiang, they rushed to Yueyang to start the rescue.

But the most shocking thing was that the main force of the Japanese army whose striker had already arrived at the Star City wài wéi line of defense made the decision to retreat quickly.Even taking advantage of the Ninth War Zone's focus on Yue Yang, he retreated dozens of miles overnight.

When the reconnaissance troops in the Ninth War Zone found that the main force of the Japanese army could no longer be seen outside the city, Xue Yue realized the Japanese army's plan to retreat.Sending troops to pursue them again, the results that can be obtained are undoubtedly far lower than the previous expectations.

Seeing the Japanese army resolutely abandoning some occupied counties, Xue Yue also said helplessly: "Ningji Okamura is indeed an old fox. Realizing that the situation is not good, he would rather give up the fruits of victory that are about to be obtained, and preserve his own strength."

"General, shouldn't we be happy that the Japanese army gave up their attack? Didn't we win this battle?"

Facing the question from his subordinates, Xue Yue shook his head and said: "The Japanese army sent heavy troops to raid Star City this time. They should have planned to encircle and wipe out the main force in our theater. If we continue to fight, even if we win in the end, we will have to pay a heavy price.

But no one expected that General Feihu suddenly led his troops into battle and stabbed the little devil severely in the back.On the front line of northern Hunan, with the recovery of Linxiang, the main force of the Japanese army on the front line may be cut off by us at any time.

If we can successfully recover Yue Yang, the situation of this battle will be reversed immediately.For us, it is our duty to defend Star City, and there is nothing to be happy about.If the main force of the Japanese army can be severely damaged, then it can be called a real victory.
