War of Resistance

Chapter 1362
Zhang Tianhai was worrying, and Inaba Shiro, who was in the Yueyang area, was frantically preparing for the battle.

However, the Japanese army in central Jiangxi encountered tenacious resistance from the three group armies under the command of Lieutenant General Luo Zhuoying, the former commander-in-chief of the Ninth Theater Command.

The three armies are Luo Zhuoying's No.19 Army, Shangguan Yunxiang's No.30 Second Army, and Gao Yinhuai's First Army.

There are quite a few troops under the jurisdiction of these three group armies. Firstly, as the first group army of the Yunnan Army, it has three armies under its jurisdiction, namely the No.60 Army, the Eighth Army, and the newly formed Third Army; No.30 Second Army, which is mainly composed of collateral troops of the Central Army, namely No.20 Fifth Army, No.20 Ninth Army and No.70 Ninth Army. After a few years of annexation and digestion by the Central Army, it became much more obedient; in the end it was the No.19 Group Army under Luo Zhuoying's command. This group army was concurrently served by Luo Zhuoying himself. Gan Lichu's Sixth Army, Fourth Army, No.70 Army, No.16 Ninth Army, No.40 Ninth Army, and No.60 Army are the veritable main forces of the Central Army.

Of course, the troops of the dozen or so armies cannot all be devoted to resisting the rapid eastward advance of the 60th Division, but the large forces must guard against the northward advance of the Japanese army in the direction of Guangdong, and the westward advance of the main Japanese army in Nanchang. and other issues, so the Eighth Army, the No.[-] Army, and the new Third Army are in charge of defense in the Fengxin and Gao'an areas, and there is also an Eighth Army that is not included in the designation. The Eighth Army and the other three armies have all fallen into a bitter battle.

On the high ground [-] kilometers east of Gao'an, the Japanese army is attacking frantically.

One after another, the shells pierced the sky, and then slammed into the positions of the national army, blasting out one after another dirt flowers.

"Boom!!!"

A shell exploded on the hillside, and the splashed soil was more than three meters high, "poured" on the position. Judging from the explosion alone, it also conforms to the aesthetics of violence.

"Little Japan, Japan, you are a fairy, if you have the ability to charge, I will be afraid of your shovel?" An officer of the Yunnan Army patted the French helmet on his head cursingly.

It is also normal for a lieutenant officer of the No. 60 Army to wear a French helmet.It should be noted that the No.60 Army headquarters is the elite of the Yunnan Army. Before participating in the Xuzhou Battle, it was one of the few Class A armies in the country. Although it has gone through several fierce battles, the equipment replenishment from Yunnan is still relatively Sufficient, just for military uniforms and helmets...

"Company commander, now Little Japan is about to start the third round of onslaught, what should we do? More than half of us have been killed or injured." The voice of a Yunnan soldier was a little trembling. He was a new recruit from Yunnan. This fight was the first time he participated in a fight.

"Niuwaer, report to the battalion commander immediately, and tell him that we can withstand this onslaught. We won't be able to do it next time..." The company commander's voice was desolate, obviously, He has no hope for this battle, he is ready to die and sacrifice in this battle!
"Yes! Company commander!!" Niu Wa'er responded.

……

Battles of varying degrees are taking place in the middle of Jiangxi, and the flames of war are burning fiercely.

All the troops of the Japanese army were charging forward quickly, and the battle started everywhere in the mountain, but they still fell into a state of dogfighting in the end.

"Ah! Kill Haw!!"

The grassroots officers of the Japanese army kept shouting and screaming, as if the soldiers of the Yunnan Army in front were like chickens and dogs.

These fanatical Japanese patriots are extremely confident in their troops. They believe that their troops have been built for decades, and they are far from being able to compete with the backward Chinese troops on the opposite side. In essence!

It has to be said that this is indeed the case. The living space of the national army is constantly being compressed, and the Japanese army is constantly encroaching and infiltrating, and even the penetration of small troops is extremely strong.

"It won't work like this, the troops in front have suffered huge casualties!" As the head of the No. 60 Army's front-line combat regiment, who bears the brunt, Cheng Wannian is not usually distressed. After only one day of fighting, more than half of the troops have been killed or injured. It is already very strong for the troops to fight to this level.

"Regimental Commander, I suggest that we should report the current situation to the divisional commander! If our troops do not withdraw, they will probably be eaten up by the Japanese army. This is a very bad thing..." Chief of Staff Yu Zeyong said to the regiment Chang Cheng Wannian suggested.

"That's the only way. It's unprecedented to be caught in such a fierce battle. The current Japanese invaders' combat awareness is even stronger than that of the Fifth Division known as the 'Steel Army'. It's okay not to report it. It's not me. No, the enemy is really too strong." Cheng Wannian sighed.

"Hurry up and ask the commander for instructions! If you don't ask for instructions, the troops will soon be wiped out." Yu Zeyong reminded the regiment leader again.

"Okay!" Cheng Wannian nodded, then strode to the phone, picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hello, I'm Cheng Wannian, head of the regiment, pick me up at the division headquarters right away! Right away!"

Fortunately, the telephone line was not blown up by the artillery fire of Little Japan, so the call was connected.

"Hi, sir! I am Cheng Wannian, the commander of the [-]th Regiment. Now more than half of our troops have been killed or injured. The vanguard troops of the Japanese invaders are constantly advancing and have engaged in repeated vicious battles with our troops. We ask for reinforcements! No more reinforcements, the troops It's almost going to be lit up!" The sound of explosions and gunshots outside was endless, and Cheng Wannian could only yell into the phone.

Soon, on the other end of the phone, Guo Jianchen, the commander of the [-]nd Division, pondered for a while, and said: "Your regiment will hold on for another two hours, and I will send reinforcements to support you. You must hold on, or I will shoot you !"

"Yes! Master!!" Cheng Wannian responded loudly.

In fact, Guo Jianchen was extremely helpless when he issued this order. After all, after the reorganization at the beginning of the year, the [-]nd Division has changed from the division of two brigades and four regiments to the three regiments, and the strength of one regiment is missing. , That's a full quarter of the combatants!

Since the fighting began a few days ago, the [-]nd Division has suffered heavy losses. One of the main regiments was almost disabled in the battle with the Japanese army. Now the [-]th Regiment has also suffered more than half of its casualties. There is only the fifth, fourth and sixth regiment, the only reserve team left.

In the face of such a fierce battle, even if it is as strong as the No.60 army, it is already shattered!
