Chapter 785
The [-]th Xue Division adopted this anti-conventional strategy to seize the scattered distribution of the Japanese troops in Yingtan, cut and surrounded them at the beginning of the battle, and prepared for the next annihilation.

The Japanese are too confident and don't believe that the Chinese army will take the initiative to launch an attack. As a result, once the center is broken through, the original defensive advantage has now become a disadvantage in terms of strength.Fortunately, Yoshishige Mizuhara reacted quickly and recalled the 22nd Brigade to Yingtan in time, otherwise, the current situation would be that all three brigades would be besieged.

The Sixth Xue Division's actions against Yingtan still had battles to fight. The Fifth Xue Division led by Li Hanhun personally did not see a single devil along the way from Pucheng to Guangfeng.The commander of the Japanese army in Guangrao was Lieutenant Ida Shenglin, the chief of staff of the 8th Mixed Independent Brigade. The Japanese army in Guangrao had two brigades, namely the 34th and 35th Independent Brigades.When the Fifth Xue Division broke out of Pucheng, the devils from these two brigades were collectively shooting targets on a shooting range outside Guangrao City, and all the peripheral defense work was handed over to the puppet army.

The puppet army is very good at oppressing the common people, and they immediately become rabbits when they start a war.The puppet army ran too fast. Although more than half of a security regiment was captured, a small half ran into Guangrao City. In this way, Jing Tian Shenglin got the alarm and immediately pulled the troops back to Guangrao City. It is impossible for the Fifth Division to make a quick decision.

Li Hanhun was not in a hurry, and got in touch with the mechanized infantry brigade of the Xuesan Army. After learning that the brigade had entered Yushan Town and cut off the connection between Yushan and Changshan, he led his troops to surround Guangrao, and prepared to wait for an opportunity to wipe out the Japanese army. .

The South China Front Army had a newly incorporated mixed independent brigade in the Guangrao and Yingtan areas. The Xuebing Army invested two and a half divisions at a time, showing a aggressive posture of wanting to eat the 8th mixed independent brigade.The importance of Yingtan and Guangrao to the situation in South China is self-evident. Matsui Ishimoto was thinking of increasing his troops in this area, but before he could make a move, the Xuebing Army launched such a fierce offensive.And once Yingtan and Guangrao are lost, then if you want to attack Fujian, you can only launch an offensive from Zhejiang and the sea.And let the navy participate in the war, this is what the senior officials of the Army Ministry do not want to see.

At around eleven o'clock at noon, the fortifications of the 9th Division in Qingyuan County were bombed by the Second Air Division.According to the original plan, the air attack on Qingyuan should be carried out by the third air division of Fuzhou Airport. However, this division suffered heavy losses over Ningbo. Tielin Fei dared not damage the remaining aerial fortresses and Xue-1 fighters. I had to let Second Master Kong do it for me.

At the same time, within the boundaries of Jiangshan City, Xue Sanjun and the 13th Division finally started fighting.

After entering Zhejiang territory through Fengling Pass under the unified leadership of deputy army commander Moxid, Xuesan Army Mechanized Infantry Brigade and Xueqi Division divided into two groups in Erbadu Town, and the Mechanized Infantry Brigade marched under the leadership of brigade commander Zhang Laishun Shidu Village marched towards Yushan.And Xueqi Division went straight to Xiakou Town.There was only one squadron of devils in Xiakou Town. The devils in this unit knew that they couldn't fight against the army of apprentices, so they occupied the only school in the town and resisted stubbornly.After the school was surrounded by the leading troops of the Seventh School Division, considering that there were still teaching staff inside, they did not choose to attack by force. Some people were left to guard the devils, while others went around and went directly to Changtai Town for reconnaissance.

When Matsui Iwane called Suzuki Shimono, he was leading the engineering team to rescue the surviving cannons at the artillery position.The 13th Artillery Wing suffered heavy losses in this round of air strikes, and only one of the heavy artillery of the two brigades was left intact.Suzuki Shimono received the order of Matsui Iwane, worried that the artillery would not be enough to cause passiveness, so he gathered the artillery belonging to the four infantry regiments, thus forming another artillery regiment.Immediately, the 58th Wing, the 104th Wing, and this miscellaneous artillery wing quickly supported Jiangshan County.

The Japanese garrison in Jiangshan County originally had two brigades, but because they were divided into various places to carry out defensive tasks, there was actually only one brigade left in Jiangshan County.

As soon as Suzuki Shimono led the troops to feel the country, they received a telegram from Yamamoto Tama, the commander of the Yushan Township garrison, saying that a large Chinese army had been found in Danan Town and asked for support.

Prior to this, the Japanese army in Jiangshan County had received a telegram from Xiakou Town, because the telegram also claimed to have encountered a large Chinese army, which made it difficult for Suzuki to go to the field.At this moment, how eager he was to get air intelligence support—in his heart, he took it for granted that one of the two Chinese armies was absolutely bluffing.

As the saying goes, what comes to mind, "hum..." The roar of the plane engine sounded in the southwest sky. He looked up and saw a small black dot flying closer and closer. He knew it was the reconnaissance plane of the Chinese people. The feeling is even more useless.

The commander of the 58th Regiment, Kimura Xiong, saw his hesitation, and approached him and said: "Your Excellency, I think the best choice for our army at present is to leave the two brigades and the artillery unit to defend the country, and then the main force The troops went to the altar stone to see if there was any chance to go around to the southwest of Yushan from the direction of Qunli, and encircle and wipe out the enemy troops attacking Yushan. Regardless of whether the Chinese people pretended to attack Yushan or not, as long as we hold Yushan, we can threaten to attack the Guangrao Chinese army At that time, if the 65th Wing and the 116th Wing are dispatched, they will be able to encircle the Chinese army attacking Jiangshan..."

Suzuki Shimono looked at the map, and said after a while: "Go and call Matsushita Joji Nita."

"Hay!"

Matsushita City Ertai is the commander of the garrison in Jiangshan County.After he was brought here, Suzuki Shimono asked, "Matsushita-san, have the people who built the fortifications been disbanded?"

"Not yet. In order to prevent them from causing trouble, I have locked them up in the No. [-] barracks."

"If I remember correctly, a batch of winter clothes has just arrived at Jiangshan Military Warehouse, right?"

"Yes. These winter clothes were originally intended to be sent to the 8th Mixed Independent Brigade, but the Chinese called over before they could make it. It seems that they will not be able to send them until the attack of the Chinese is repelled."

Suzuki Shimono looked at Matsushita Castle Nita, and suddenly said sternly: "Matsushita-san, I want to entrust you with a glorious task, are you sure you can complete it?"

"Hai!" Matsushita instinctively stood up straight and answered with his head bowed.

"Put all the civilians in our military uniforms, and equip them with captured guns. Remember, bayonets and bullets are not allowed to be given to them. Then, you can press them back and forth in Jiangshan County!"

Matsushita was confused when he heard that, he originally thought that Guangrong's order was to order himself to go to Guangrong, but now it sounds like he doesn't need to leave the city, it's not dangerous at all.

However, Kimura Xiong and the others understood the mystery, and several devils and junior officers respectfully bowed and praised: "Your Excellency, Commander, what a wonderful idea!"

Suzuki Shimono was a little proud, he looked at Kimura and said: "Master Kimura, this is thanks to your suggestion. Whether this plan will work or not, the defense of Jiangshan County is very important. I need a reliable person to command here, Mr. Kimura, this The task is entrusted to you!"

Kimura Xiong was very excited - the more difficult the task, the greater the military exploits he could obtain, and this is exactly what he hoped to obtain. He replied without hesitation: "Your Excellency, I promise to complete the task!"

"The Chinese people have mastered the air, so the flexibility of the artillery must be guaranteed. Kimura, be prepared to hold out for three days! After three days, I will lead a large army to punch the Chinese people from behind. It's time!"

"Hayi! The imperial army will win!"

In the Xuebing army's battle plan, whether to capture Jiangshan and Yushan is secondary. The attack on these two places is actually to create a favorable atmosphere for the Xuebing army to wipe out the enemy.

The frequent dispatch of reconnaissance planes basically grasped the whereabouts of the Japanese in time. This information was sent to the front-line commanders through radio waves, and they could choose whether to fight or maintain coercion according to the actual situation.

"The Japanese have seen our army's intentions!" Moshid came to the above conclusion when he learned that the Japanese army had gathered in Jiangshan on a large scale, and half of them went to Yushan.

Gui Mingxun, the commander of the Seventh Xue Division, pointed to the map and said, "The Japanese want to divide up Yushan, so we will fight them back!"

Mohid nodded: "Hit!"

The reconnaissance plane flew over Jiangshan City again, this time it was responsible for providing coordinate guidance for the Artillery Regiment of the Seventh Xue Division.

As soon as the reconnaissance plane appeared, Kimura Xiong immediately ordered the artillery to hide, and then he personally led a brigade of devils and drove out of Jiangshan City in a mighty manner.

Suzuki Shimono's order to Kimura Xiong was to stick to the country for three days. Kimura Xiong doubted the determination of the Xuebing Army to capture the country from the beginning to the end, so he very much suspected that the enemy army that appeared outside Shimen Town was just a suspicious army. "If the Chinese people are just bluffing, then we will fight back fiercely. If the Chinese people are a large force, then we will bring back the Shimen defenders," he explained to his subordinates to go out of the city to face the battle.

Shimen is only about [-] kilometers away from Jiangshan. With such a short distance, Suzuki Shimono has the confidence to go back and forth calmly.

The pilot on the reconnaissance plane saw the formation of more than 1000 devils, and he immediately reported to Mohid by radio.Moshid asked about the number of enemy troops in Jiangshan County, and then came to the conclusion that these devils were here to test.He then said to Gui Mingxun: "The Japanese don't seem to know the size of our army. That's fine. You lead the [-]th brigade to attack Shimen, and I will take the [-]th brigade to go around to Changtai to fight for the little devil's attention." I ate this devil."

"Okay. Military seat, then be careful!"

"Take action!"

Under the leadership of the brigade commander Chen Erbing, the 21st Brigade first hid in the nearby mountains and forests, and the [-]th Brigade dispatched a regiment to attack Shimen.In order to make the Japanese unclear about their own strength and weaponry, Gui Mingxun did not dispatch a tank, but let the vanguard group use mortars for firepower preparation.

The "clang clang" sound of the mortar firing sounded, and a small group of devils in the south of Shimen Town immediately retreated into the town.Then, the two sides began mortar fire.The two sides each fired dozens of mortar shells. After the Pioneer Regiment tore two holes in the fortifications in the south of the town, it immediately launched a ground attack.

The battle has begun.
