The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 361
On the hillside to the east of the road, Gao Jiu, Wu Tianming and others were chatting, but Gao Jiu stopped talking suddenly and turned his ear to the south to listen.

Seeing him like this, everyone didn't understand what he was doing, but they also consciously stopped talking and looked at him curiously.

Gao Jiu said: "The reinforcements from the Japanese army have arrived, about 8 kilometers away from here."

Everyone looked towards the south, but didn't see anything unusual, and everyone felt that what he said seemed a bit outrageous, and it was amazing that he could hear it at a distance of 8 kilometers.

It wasn't that everyone didn't trust Gao Jiu, but it was beyond their understanding. Everyone seemed to believe it but didn't believe it. After waiting for a while, they still didn't hear anything from the Japanese army.

A few minutes later, the phone rang. Wang Xuexue picked up the phone and listened to the report inside. While listening, he glanced at Gao Jiu and said, "Master, the observation post in front reports that the reinforcements from the Japanese army We're here, we're still two kilometers away from here."

Wu Tianming, Wang Xuexue and Chu Tianxiong all looked at Gao Jiu with admiration, even a trace of horror in their eyes. The movement of the Japanese army can be heard 8 kilometers away, which is too amazing, or too outrageous.

Wu Tianming quickly recovered from his astonishment and said, "Order the troops to prepare for battle."

The Japanese army is coming. As Gao Jiu expected, the reinforcements of the 106th Division have received a report from the 21st Regiment, saying that there are no national army troops in this area, and they have already occupied the big and small Chenzhuang, urging them to speed up. marching speed.It is far away from Nanchang, and there are Japanese troops from the 21st Regiment in front of them. Therefore, these Japanese troops did not expect that tens of thousands of enemy troops were buried on the seemingly gentle hillside ahead.

Just in front of the headquarters, the engineer company commander was guarding a detonator, looking nervously at the Japanese troops advancing on the road, and couldn't help but want to hold the push rod of the detonator.However, in order to prevent accidents, he cannot hold the push rod of the detonator in advance without getting an order to prepare for detonation.

His right hand was trembling a little. In order to prevent himself from losing control of his emotions, he stretched out his left hand and held the wrist of his right hand vigorously.

Last night, Gao Jiu led the engineering company of the division headquarters and the engineering platoons of the various regiments, and buried a large amount of high explosives on the road. The explosion area was more than [-] meters long.In order to prevent accidents such as short circuit of the line, a total of three detonators were set up and connected to different positions of the line. Even if there was a problem in one place, other people could detonate the explosives on the road.

The Japanese army drove over, and the front was a squad of Japanese cavalry scouts. They walked and watched the hillsides on both sides.

The troops of the 62nd Division are all veterans and experienced. They hid behind rocks or bushes, and the Japanese army did not find any abnormalities.

Immediately after that was a group of motorcycles, and then a large group of Japanese infantry marching in neat rows.Subsequently, the engineering unit, the artillery unit, and the supply unit were arranged in the back.At the end of the line was a squadron of Japanese guards.

With more than 5000 horses, the mighty Japanese army lined up a full 5 kilometers long.

The Japanese troops moved forward little by little, and the forwards of the troops had entered the ambush circle.

Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue could be regarded as veterans of the battle-hardened army, but facing so many Japanese troops, they were inevitably a little nervous.

Chu Tianxiong had never been through such a big battle, and he couldn't help trembling slightly as he held the binoculars in both hands.

Gao Jiu was also a little nervous, not because he was afraid, but because he was not familiar with the troops of the 62nd Division. He was worried that these guys would not be able to hold their breath, and before all the devils entered the ambush position, they could not help but go off. Expose the target in advance, which will cause a lot of trouble for the next battle.

It's really good. After all, the 62nd Division is a direct line unit of the Central Army. It is well-trained and has rich combat experience. After all, no one has exposed the target because of impatience.

The troops of the Japanese army marched forward mightily, their defenses were extremely lax, the soldiers did not have bayonets on their guns, heavy machine guns and mortars were carried on horses, and those horse-drawn cannons did not even have gun coats fade away.

Gao Jiu's eyes were sharp, and he could see several kilometers away. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all the Japanese troops had entered the ambush circle.

He said to Wu Tianming: "Mr. Wu, let's start."

Wu Tianming said to the commander of the engineering company: "Detonate."

The engineer company commander spat in the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands, stretched out his hand to hold the push rod of the detonator, stood up straight, and then pressed down with all his strength.

"Boom boom boom boom boom."

Tens of thousands of catties of high explosives exploded on the road almost at the same time. The huge sound wave shook the ground, and then a huge cloud of smoke and dust several kilometers long rose from the road, like a long gray dragon.The smoke and dust from the explosion filled the road, and for a while, the scene on the road could not be seen clearly.

The sound of the explosion was an order, and the officers and soldiers of the national army ambushing on both sides of the road opened fire violently on the road together.

About 2 minutes later, the smoke and dust on the road began to dissipate. Wu Tianming saw that the road was in a mess, and there were broken corpses of Japanese soldiers all over the place.

At this moment, Wu Tianming already had a solid foundation in his heart, and he was now confident in annihilating these Japanese troops.

He ordered: "The whole army goes out."

Wang Xuexue had long held the phone connected to the various regiments and gave the order to attack.

With the sound of the loud bugle, tens of thousands of soldiers of the national army held sharp bayonets, followed the machine gunner who opened the way in front, shouted loudly, and rushed down the mountain.

"Come on."

"Kill it!"

The shouts of tens of thousands of people were also earth-shattering.

The Japanese army in front of the line is the main force of the infantry of the 21st Regiment. It has lost more than half of its troops in the violent explosion. Under the violent fire attack just now, it has lost at least three points of the remaining troops. One, their organizational system has been disrupted, and it is impossible to organize effective resistance in a hurry. Although the officers and soldiers are tenacious, most of them are fighting on their own.

Thousands of officers and soldiers of the 186th and 187th regiments rushed onto the road and fought fiercely with the Japanese army.

The commander of the guard battalion led the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion. Thirty light machine guns lined up in front of the team, and while strafing, they rushed towards the artillery units of the Japanese army.

The artillery units of the Japanese army lined up near the end of the line, and only a small part of the artillery in the front was destroyed by the explosion.They were in a panic under the violent bullet rain, and it was too late to temporarily erect artillery.Many of them were unarmed and at a loss on the road.

Many of the heavy troops behind the artillery had no weapons in their hands.They hurriedly took out their weapons from the carriage, hid behind the carriage, and shot at the enemy soldiers rushing down.

In the fierce attack, the only Japanese squadron that kept its organizational integrity and was able to organize effective resistance was the Japanese squadron at the end of the march and served as the rear guard.They immediately seized a small hillside on the side of the road and shot at the officers and soldiers of the battalion of the 188th regiment responsible for cutting off the retreat of the Japanese army.

Because the headquarters of the 145th Wing of the Japanese Army was directly reimbursed in the explosion.Most of the main force of the Japanese infantry also suffered casualties, and the charge launched by the Guo army was very fast, so it was difficult for the Japanese army to organize an effective resistance from time to time, and the battle went on in a one-sided situation.

In less than half an hour, most of the main force of the Japanese army was wiped out, and the remaining Japanese army was divided into three parts, with about 188 people fleeing to the north.The other part, about [-] people, resisted relying on the supplies of the logistics troops.There are more than [-] people in the rear guard squadron of the Japanese army, which are resisting the siege of the battalion of the [-]th regiment.

Seeing this, Wu Tianming knew that the battle had been won.As for the remaining Japanese troops, he believed that they would be wiped out in a short time.At this moment, his heart was full of joy, and he annihilated a reinforced regiment of the Japanese army at once!This time, the 62nd Division showed its face in a big way.

Wang Xuexue was also very excited. Since the beginning of the War of Resistance, he had fought against the Japanese army many times, and each time he seemed so embarrassed that he had a fear of the Japanese army. Such a big victory completely exceeded his expectations.

Chu Tianxiong was also very happy. He was not only a participant in this brilliant victory, but also one of the commanders. He couldn't escape being rewarded for meritorious service. He might even get a Yunhui Medal.At least in the military command system, he, Chu Tianxiong, can show his face in a big way.

All three of them looked at Gao Jiu with admiration, and thought: "It is said in the legend that as long as you cooperate with Gao Jiu, you can get promoted and make a fortune, this statement is indeed true."

There is no suspense in the next battle.

More than 300 devils who fled to the north suffered heavy casualties when they were ambushed by two infantry battalions of the 188th regiment.Then, the troops of the 187th Regiment caught up again, and flanked the two infantry battalions of the 188th Regiment, and quickly wiped out the remaining Japanese troops.

The troops of the 186th regiment, after annihilating the frontal Japanese infantry, went to besiege the Japanese army's supply units.The officers and soldiers of the guard battalion knocked out the enemy's artillery and went to help lay siege to the enemy's rearguard.

Soon after, the gunfire stopped and the battlefield fell silent.

从战斗打响到战斗结束，一共用了一小时零4分钟。全歼了日军步兵第145联队、野炮兵第106联队、工兵106联队、辎重兵第106联队各一部，共计五千二百余人。

Wu Tianming, Gao Jiu and the others came to the road. Seeing the corpses of devils everywhere, he couldn't help raising his fist excitedly, and shouted loudly: "Victory."

"Victory."

"We are victorious!"

The officers and soldiers of the 62nd Division finally fought a hearty battle and won a brilliant victory.They cheered happily, and many people shed tears of excitement.

Chu Tianxiong was very excited. He said, "Brother Gao, Master Wu, and Chief of Staff Wang, in order to celebrate this great victory, let's take a group photo together."

Wu Tianming and others were very interested in this proposal. Wang Wenxue immediately called a staff officer who was good at photography from the Division of Teachers and Political Training, and began to pose for a photo.

They stood together with their feet on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers. Seeing that Gao Jiu was still standing aside, Wu Tian called out, "Brother Gao, come quickly! Come, you stand in the middle."

Gao Jiu didn't want to take photos, even though he had a mustache on his lips and simple makeup.But if there are photos, if people compare them, it is easy to see the flaws.

He said: "Brothers! Brothers, I am not very convenient. You can take pictures."

Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue felt a little surprised, and couldn't understand Gao Jiu's reason for a moment.

Chu Tianxiong was a secret agent, he understood Gao Jiu's meaning after a little thought.He said: "Brother Gao is behind enemy lines and often has to dress up as a Japanese soldier. It's better not to show up in public."

After finishing speaking, he smiled and said, "Brother Gao, then we brothers will take the photo."

Chu Tianxiong, Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue changed different angles, posed in victory poses, and took many group photos and individual photos.These photos are their capital, and they can show off everywhere.

Seeing that Wu Tianming and the others were less excited, Gao Jiu said to them, "Three brothers, the battle here is over, and a battalion is left to clean up the battlefield. The 21st Regiment of the Japanese Army."

The officers and soldiers of the 62nd Division fought such a beautiful battle, and now they are full of confidence and are ready to make persistent efforts to wipe out the Japanese troops of the 21st Regiment of the Japanese Third Division, which is even more powerful.

While gathering troops, Wu Tianming and others jointly sent a victory telegram to the Fifth Theater Command.

Fifth Theater Command, confidential room.

Staying up late on duty for a long time made Guo Xuejia, director of the Confidential Office, exhausted.She picked up the mirror and looked at herself, and saw that her beautiful face looked a little haggard, as if there were dark circles under her eyes, and she felt even more irritable.

She put down the mirror, gently rubbed her temples with her hands, and said to an officer on duty: "I'm going to take a rest for a while, and call me if you need anything."

Guo Xuejia stood up and was about to leave when another operator just received a telegram.She said, "Director Guo, an urgent telegram from the armed forces."

Guo Xuejia cheered up and translated the telegram, her complexion became more and more gloomy.She sighed, took the telegram and walked to the war room.

The deputy chief of staff finished reading the telegram, and his face became very gloomy.He picked up the phone and said, "Get me to the chief of staff's office."

After the call was connected, the deputy chief of staff said: "The three armed forces have sent a telegram that Fuyang has fallen."

Fuyang is an important support point for the fifth theater in the southeast of Wuhan. With the fall of Fuyang, Wuhan's eastern front is in a hurry.

The chief of staff said, "I'll go to the war room right away."

Soon after, the chief of staff came to the war room.He personally read the telegram again, and said to the deputy chief of staff: "There is such a crisis in the war situation, please report it to the Military Commission."

The deputy chief of staff picked up the phone and said, "Get me to the Military Commission."

Not long after, the Military Commission communicated their opinions after deliberation.

The deputy chief of staff said: "The Military Commission asked us to withdraw the No.80 Fifth Army and reinforce the Eastern Front. The No.20 Eighth Army abandoned Nanchang and retreated to the Tanglin defense line."

The director of operations said anxiously: "How can this be done? Now that the battle in Nanchang is at a critical moment, the main force of the 28th Army and the 85th Division of the 112th Army are encircling and annihilating the Japanese army. How can the troops of these two armies be drawn out?" come out?"

The chief of staff said helplessly: "Now the eastern defense line urgently needs to be strengthened. If the war in the direction of Nanchang cannot end as soon as possible, then we have to abandon the plan to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in Nanchang and abandon Nanchang at the same time."

The deputy chief of staff said regretfully: "Such an accident occurred at a critical moment. It is a pity that such a good fighter has already surrounded the two strengthened regiments of the Japanese army in the Nanchang area. "

The Chief of Operations held a glimmer of hope and said: "I don't know how the battle situation in the 62nd Division is? If they can annihilate the 145th Wing of the Japanese Army, that would be great."

Although the Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff now have confidence in Gao Jiu, they have no confidence in Wu Tianming and others in the 62nd Division. They do not think that the 62nd Division can annihilate a reinforced Japanese regiment.

The chief of staff also took a hint of luck, and said: "Then send a telegram to ask. If they haven't launched a battle, then give up the battle plan to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in Nanchang. According to the instructions of the Military Commission, mobilize the No. The 85th Army and the 28th Army, go and strengthen the Eastern Front."

At this time, Guo Xuejia entered the war room again.When everyone saw her coming in, they didn't know what bad news was coming, so they all frowned.

The chief of staff also didn't want to see her, but he was used to bad news and had already developed immunity.He looked at Guo Xuejia gracefully, only to find that she was smiling and even a little excited.
