The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 627 I Want To Do It Too
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the commander-in-chief, deputy commander Zhang and others still did not rest.They have already learned about the general battle plan of the Japanese army from Gao Jiu. Although they still cannot grasp the specific time of the Japanese army's attack, they have to be extra careful.

Deputy Commander Zhang said worriedly: "The troops of the 21st Corps have still not arrived at the preset battlefield, which is really worrying!"

After Xue Dongsheng defected to the enemy, the senior generals of the 21st Corps were all in danger, and the troops were transferred to the rear of Yichang for training, and their hearts were a little unstable.After receiving the order from the Ninth Theater Command, they began to head towards Jinjiazhai.

In order to ensure the stability of the 21st Corps, the Chief of Staff of the Ninth Theater temporarily served as the commander of the 21st Corps.He first carried out a simple mobilization and training of the troops, but in this way, it was delayed a lot of time, but at least he was dispatched.When it comes to long-distance marches, the officers and soldiers of the Central Army are more delicate, they are not as good as those of the Sichuan Army, and the speed of marching on the road is much slower.

The chief of staff looked at his watch from time to time while marching, knowing that if this continues, the troops of the 10st Corps will not be able to rush to the direction of Jinjiazhai before 21:21 tomorrow morning.He reported this situation to the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Theater, and everyone felt very heavy, hoping that the Japanese army would not launch an attack before the main force of the [-]st Corps arrived.

Gao Jiu and the others are marching, and every once in a while, special forces members will ride over to report, and they are responsible for the reconnaissance ahead.

Americans worship heroes and like to take risks. This time they followed Gao Jiu deep into the enemy's rear. Not only were they not afraid, but they were filled with excitement.These guys kept asking questions, and they didn't understand some of Gao Jiu's methods of fighting, and they didn't take it seriously.

For example, Gao Jiu sent a lot of scouts in front of the troops. These scouts wore Japanese military uniforms. Whenever they went to a place, they cut off the visible telephone lines at any time.When encountering a small group of Japanese and puppet troops, they will shoot them down.

Weidman said inexplicably: "Mr. Gao, is there any use for you to do this? Can this cover up the news of the march of large troops?"

Gao Jiu said: "It should be possible, we have such a large army marching on the road, it is impossible not to attract the attention of the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops.

However, these grassroots Japanese and puppet personnel did not have the contact information to communicate with the high-level Japanese army.As long as the telephone line is cut off, they will not be able to get in touch with the main force of the Japanese army for a while.Those other Japanese and puppets at the grassroots level will not be troublesome, and they don't know who to report to, so we have plenty of time to march.

After the main force of the Japanese army received the news that the telephone line was cut off, they could not determine what went wrong. Is it an ordinary line failure?Or was it cut off on purpose?Even if it is known that it is man-made destruction, it is impossible to judge the intention of these saboteurs.

They can only send people to check the line along the way. For these Japanese signal soldiers, the special forces will not let them go back.Therefore, for a long time, the Japanese army could not make a correct judgment at all. "

Although Weidman and the others understood what Gao Jiu said, they thought it was too much trouble and didn't take it seriously.

Wei Deman said: "Mr. Gao, when our Mi army fights, we will first send reconnaissance planes to reconnaissance, and then send bombers to bomb, and finally the large troops go up and bombard the enemy, and the efficiency is higher than yours. There are many."

Gao Jiu said: "You're right, I want to do the same. It's a pity that I don't have reconnaissance planes, bombers, and not so many cannons and ammunition. Our strength is not as good as that of the Japanese, so we have to Playing with them."

At 1 o'clock in the morning, Gao Jiu and others rushed to the scheduled location first.Li Chengwu and others wore Japanese military uniforms and reported to Gao Jiu: 15 kilometers ahead is the defense zone of the 112th Division of the Japanese Army.

Gao Jiu spread the map on the front of the jeep, and said to the chief of staff: "Stay here, wait until the big troops catch up, and then repair the fortifications here, here, here. To prevent the Japanese army from counterattacking, then set up artillery positions here. "After speaking, he prepared to leave with the members of the Taohuashan Special Forces.

Weidman asked curiously: "Mr. Gao, what are you going to do? Let's go with you."

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "That's impossible, you are treasures! You can go deep into the enemy's rear, and coming here is already very remarkable. I will complete the specific reconnaissance operations."

After Gao Jiu left, Wei Deman asked: "Chief of Staff, why did Mr. Gao go to the front to reconnaissance in person?"

The Chief of Staff of the Sichuan Army smiled and said: "He went to the front mainly to provide shooting elements for our 105mm howitzers."

A Mi Army artillery advisor in the advisory group was a little unconvinced. He said: "Mr. Gao didn't bring scouts and calculators over there, how could he provide accurate shooting figures?"

An artillery staff officer next to the Chief of Staff of the Sichuan Army couldn't help but said: "You don't understand this, Gao Jiuye can provide accurate shooting figures at any time, and you don't even need a test shot, you can hit the target directly."

Hearing this, the members of the Mi Army Advisory Group were full of disbelief.The rice army artillery staff officer said: "How is this possible?"

The chief of staff smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes."

The artillery staff officer of the rice army was also aroused with strong curiosity and competitive spirit. He said, "Could it be true? No, I have to go up and see for myself." After finishing speaking, he asked for a horse, The Chief of Staff of the Sichuan Army also sent several guards to escort him to chase after Gao Jiu and others.

The headquarters of the Ninth Corps of Shayang County.

Deputy Commander Zhang really couldn't sleep well. He sat on the bed, thought about it for a while, then got dressed, and said to the officer on duty: "I am rushing to the headquarters of the 12th Corps. After dawn, when the commander wakes up, You report to him again." After speaking, he drove away.

On the road from Yichang to Jingzhou, the Chief of Staff of the Ninth War Zone saw that the troops were moving slowly, so he made a decision. He gathered the troops with vehicles and horses, and there were about three divisions. Troops, let them go to the direction of Jingzhou first, and when they get there, accept the command of the commander of the 12th Corps.

He urged the brigade of infantry to continue marching.

凌晨6点。第12兵团的东南面、南面同时响起了炮声。日军的第6师团和第3师团主力，潮水一般汹涌扑向了第12兵团的阵地。

Although the troops of the 12th Corps were prepared, facing the powerful Japanese army, they still could not resist the attack launched by the Japanese army.When the battle lasted for 40 minutes, the troops of the first two divisions in the forward position of the national army had already been defeated, and the front line position was lost.

The commander of the 12th Corps has been looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements from the 21st Corps as soon as possible. He has always been worried that the Japanese army will launch an attack before the reinforcements arrive.This time, he was a little impatient.

He hurriedly asked for help from the theater headquarters and urged the reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible.At this moment, Deputy Commander Zhang arrived.

After seeing the situation on the front line, Deputy Commander Zhang ordered the troops to resist resolutely and must block the Japanese attack.

The Japanese offensive was very violent, and soon broke through the second line of defense of the 12th Corps.

Deputy Commander Zhang also became a little nervous, and hurriedly asked for news about the 21st Corps, and finally got good news.

The Chief of Staff of the Ninth War Zone told Deputy Commander Zhang that there were already three divisions in vehicles and horses heading for Jingzhou, and they should be almost there.

Deputy Commander Zhang immediately got in touch with the advance troops of the 21st Corps, and those troops could arrive within an hour.

Deputy Commander Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and told the commanders of the 12th Corps the good news, and everyone felt more at ease.

The fierce offensive of the two main forces of the Japanese army met with the tenacious resistance of the 12th Corps, and gradually slowed down the attack and temporarily rested.They reorganized their forces and prepared to launch a more violent attack again.

Just when the Japanese army launched an offensive in Jingzhou, the Japanese 11th Division and 112th Division also launched a fierce attack on the Ninth Corps of the National Army at the same time.

The Japanese army, which once concealed its strength, sent out the main force this time, and under the cover of fierce artillery fire, they frantically rushed towards the position of the national army.

The commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone has received a telegram from Deputy Commander Zhang. They are in the direction of Jingzhou. They have blocked the Japanese attack. The reinforcements of the 21st Corps are arriving one after another. They are confident that they will hold their positions and guarantee the flanks of the Ninth Corps safety.

Seeing that the battle was proceeding according to the deployment he had discussed with Gao Jiu and the others, the commander felt much more at ease.

On the forward position, the Japanese 3rd Division and the 112th Division attacked very fiercely, and the national army's forward position was quickly lost.

It is said that the Japanese army in the direction of Shayang County has only two divisions, less than 5 troops, while the Ninth Corps has a total of 11 divisions, 14 people. Why do they still feel so hard when blocking the Japanese army's attack? What? It turns out that the usual tactics of the Japanese army are to attack from the front and outflank the two wings. This tactic is very powerful. When any national army sees Japanese troops appearing on the two wings, they will worry about being surrounded by the Japanese army. The morale of the army will soon be shaken, and they can only panic retreat.

Now the Ninth Corps is also worried that the Japanese army will adopt such tactics, so they only have five divisions in front of the position, and the rest of the troops are scattered on the two wings to prevent the Japanese army from outflanking.

This resulted in the dispersion of the main force, and on the local battlefield, the Japanese army's strength instead took the upper hand.

The commander quickly ordered the troops to resist resolutely, while continuing to wait for Gao Jiu's news.

We must know that the most critical thing in this battle is whether Gao Jiu can detour and outflank the rear of the Japanese army on time.

According to the agreement, in order to avoid exposing the target, he could only wait for Gao Jiu to send him a message.

At this moment, Gao Jiu's telegram arrived.

After Gao Jiu inquired about the situation on the battlefield, Gao Jiu felt relieved when he saw that the battle situation was stable.His original layout, such as letting Commander Yang and others stand behind the Ninth Corps, was all about planning for the worst.Now that reinforcements from the 21st Corps could arrive on time and the flanks of the Ninth Corps would not be attacked, the battle would be much easier to fight.

Gao Jiu asked about the current offensive and defensive operations against the Japanese army on the front line, and also asked about the formation of the Ninth Corps. He suggested: "Commander, at present, the Japanese army you are facing is only these two divisions. You don't have any troops to go around and outflank the flanks. Even if there are, it's just a small force. Now gather all your troops and press the Japanese army head-on to form an absolute superior force on the battlefield. The Japanese army will definitely not be able to withstand it. of.

I immediately launched an attack in the rear of the Japanese army and cut off the Japanese army's retreat. "

The commander had no doubts anymore. After putting down the phone, he immediately announced the news that the Sichuan army led by Gao Jiu had reached the enemy's rear and cut off the Japanese army's retreat.

The soldiers of the national army were excited, and the commander ordered the troops on both wings of the Ninth Corps to move closer to the center and attack the Japanese army head-on.

Soon after the battle started, the chief of staff of the Japanese Central China Dispatch Army noticed that the progress of the battle was somewhat different from his expectations.

Unexpectedly, the attack of the 6th and 3rd main divisions of the Japanese army in the direction of Jingzhou did not defeat the 12th Corps of the National Army, and soon a large number of reinforcements with American equipment caught up.He really didn't understand where the national army got so many reinforcements, and how they rushed to the direction of Jingzhou in time.

On the front line of Shayang County, the Japanese army is also struggling now.They concentrated almost all the main forces and launched a fierce attack on the troops of the Ninth Corps. The troops of the Guo army were only a little flustered at the beginning, but after retreating a certain distance, they stabilized the front line.Not only that, but their strength became stronger and stronger, and it became more and more difficult for the Japanese army to advance forward.

At this time, even worse news came.

The main force of the 112th Division of the Japanese Army has already moved to the front line. In the temporary rear camp, there are logistics personnel such as luggage and field hospitals, and there is almost no protection from field troops.

Gao Jiu and others first discovered the rear camp of the 112th Division.Gao Jiu couldn't figure out the real situation of the enemy, and the troops around him now were only more than [-] people from the Special Forces.He was also unwilling to let them take risks, so he began to measure and prepare to provide shooting elements for the artillery units in the rear.

The artillery staff officer of the Mi Army came here this time to show off his skills. When he arrived, he brought some measuring tools of the artillery regiment. He set up the artillery mirror and observed there.

Before he could see the situation of the Japanese army clearly, Gao Jiu had already said: "Jia Liu, send a telegram to the artillery positions, telling them that the scale is 74 and the direction is 211."

Hearing this, the Artillery Staff Officer of the Mi Army felt a little dissatisfied with Gao Jiu's opening his mouth. He hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, Mr. Gao, what did you base on to shoot Zhu Yuan? Can you tell me, from here to the front How far is that pointed tent in the camp?" He wanted to test Gao Jiu's basic skills.

He has an artillery mirror and can calculate more accurate values.
