War of Resistance

Chapter 842 Surprise the snake!

"Ready?" asked the chief of staff.

"Yes, it's time for us to recruit some powerful troops in the rear as reserve troops." Okamura Neiji said in a deep voice, "Our troops, currently only the [-]th Division is the fastest. The [-]st Division is still behind and has not kept up. In addition, the progress of the [-]th Division on the north bank of the Yangtze River is also imminent. Therefore, we are imminent in advancing the battle on the south bank of the Yangtze River."

"What the general said is very true. Our troops are out of touch too quickly, and according to intelligence, Xingzipu, oh, that is, Xingzi County, has already stationed an army of the Chinese Army, and it is the Central Army of the Chinese Army. said the chief of staff.

"The Central Army of the China Army? Who is the general?" Neiji Okamura asked.

"It was Wang Jingjiu, one of the three commanders of the German Armor Division in the original Chinese Army. Logically speaking, the troops led by this person should not be bad. However, in the face of the steel torrent of our Imperial Army, these people are all Chicken tile dog." The chief of staff looked proud.

Indeed, apart from a big loss in Taierzhuang, the Japanese army did not suffer a loss in other areas, and it can even be described as "singing forward".

It is precisely because of the accumulation of a series of victories that the Japanese army is full of arrogance and arrogance.

Especially the army units headed by the Sixth Division, No.14 Division, and the [-]st Division can hardly be said to be invincible.

Of course, these Japanese soldiers are not blindly arrogant and domineering. Their arrogance is also based on the need to win battles-war is always a weapon of murder. If you are not careful, you will die, and you will die a lot. people!
The people below went to the battlefield with arrogance and indulgence, but Neiji Okamura, the commander of the No.11 Army, was not blindly optimistic.

The No.11 Army did win all the way along the Yangtze River, but it was much slower than expected, especially the battle between Hukou Town and Gutang Town gave Neji Okamura a lot of uneasiness.

Because the resistance of the Chinese army was beyond his expectation, Emperor Hirohito gave him the task of Neiji Okamura to fight to Wuhan within three months, and he had to transform Chiang Kai-shek's national government from a national government organization to a local government. sex government organizations.

Under such circumstances, Okamura Ningji couldn't help being blindly optimistic.

The [-]st Division, this is Okamura Ningji's old foundation-this division can be said to be the most powerful force in Okamura Ningji's hands except for the Sixth Division, and it is A division-level unit.

The Sixth Division is already the absolute main force of the No.11 Army advancing on the north bank of the Yangtze River. On the south bank of the Yangtze River, Okamura Ningji has been hiding the "sharp knife" of the [-]st Division in his waist. He is not willing to use it, because one day, when the sharp knife is drawn out of its sheath, there will be blood.

And it's the kind that wins out of the scabbard!

Already ordering this unit to move forward, it can be seen that Neiji Okamura did not underestimate the enemy.

As the commander of the No.11 Army, Neiji Okamura did not underestimate the enemy, but his subordinates were still extremely arrogant.

After receiving the approval from the commander, Lieutenant General Ningji Okamura, Junrokuro Matsuura immediately ordered his troops to strengthen preparations and set off in the direction of Nanchang and De'an, where the Nanxun Railway is located, within two days.

Matsuura Junrokuro's troops have fought all the way, and they have almost paid nearly 7000 casualties before they can replenish more than 800 soldiers, and they are about to regroup and set off immediately.

It can be seen that its confidence is sufficient and its confidence in combat is arrogant!

Jiujiang County, which had already cleared a vacant lot, was filled with densely packed Japanese troops, orderly and without any sense of chaos.

"Ha Xu!!!"

The leading Japanese officer was shouting.

"salute!!!"

Following the order of the leading officer, for a while, arms stood like forests in the phalanx, and bayonets gleaming with cold light shone brightly under the sunlight.

"Please, Your Excellency, Head of the Division, speak!!!"

The leading officer's voice was still loud, and I don't know if he had taken the golden throat lozenges, but under the roar of his voice, everything was quiet.

"Soldiers!! Starting today, our [-]th Division will continue to display the majesty of the imperial army, and continue to shine the light of the emperor in the land of China. Long live the emperor!!!"

"Long live the Emperor!!!"

"Long live the Emperor!!!"

A loud voice sounded in this dilapidated county town, and amidst the voices of Long live the dog emperor, the momentum of these Japanese troops reached its peak!

Soon, a neat group of Japanese troops drove out of the west gate and headed towards De'an.

If there is still a slight deficiency here, it is probably only that many Japanese troops were sent out without any organizational system.

Naturally, this scene did not escape the reconnaissance company of the national army who had been watching the movements of the Japanese army on the periphery for a long time.

Soon, a piece of information about the dispatch of the Japanese army was sent from the vicinity of Jiujiang County to the headquarters of the Second Corps of the Ninth Theater of the National Army.

……

At this time, the headquarters of the Second Corps of the National Army was not able to set up the headquarters in the city like the Japanese army that had already captured important towns.

On the contrary, Zhang Fakui's headquarters is located in the mountains.

In the words of Commander-in-Chief Zhang, "Although there are a little more mosquitoes here, it's better than being bombed by Japanese planes and cannons, right?"

"Reporting sir, the front-line reconnaissance force sent an urgent message about the news that more than one brigade of the Japanese army had dispatched from Jiujiang City." The officer on duty reported to Zhang Fakui.

"What? More than one brigade? It must be between one brigade and one division. Did the troops sent for reconnaissance say where the Japanese troops were heading?" Zhang Fakui asked.

"Report sir, according to the report of the reconnaissance unit, this unit is heading west. I don't know exactly where it is going." The officer on duty reported truthfully.

"Going west...going west..." Zhang Fakui kept thinking, but the footsteps under his feet walked around and around.

"By the way, which army is stationed near Jiujiang County?" Zhang Fakui asked casually.

At this time, Wu Qiwei next to him said, "Boss, the troops currently stationed in the direction of Jiujiang are only one brigade from our department, plus the first regiment of the theater guards."

"A brigade and police regiment from the Fourth Army?" Zhang Fakui's eyes lit up.

"Yes, boss." Wu Qiwei nodded.

"Let's do this! Qingyun (Wu Qiwei's name), tomorrow morning, you let your brigade launch a tentative attack on Jiujiang County. Use Zhang Yulin's guard group as your troops' support. If you don't fight, it's really true It's hard to tell where these little devils are." Zhang Fakui gritted his teeth and said.

"What the boss means is, if there is a chance, should we take back Jiujiang County?" Wu Qiwei asked the most critical question.

Zhang Fakui thought for a while and said: "No, no, don't take Jiujiang County lightly. This place is already a hot potato. If our army takes it back, the Japanese army will definitely encircle it with heavy troops. By then, we will be in danger. .The gains outweigh the losses..."

"What does the boss mean?" Wu Qiwei narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Shock the grass to scare the snake!" Zhang Fakui said in a deep voice.
