Chapter 455 Longevity Town Project

On Yehe Mountain, a crowd of clothes fluttered.

It had been raining for several days, and the clothes on their bodies smelled wet. It was a rare day when the clouds cleared up, so everyone in the [-]th Brigade took off their clothes to dry.

The small-scale battle against the 33rd Division has already begun. The two groups of Japanese troops departing from Tongcheng and Xiushui are constantly being harassed and attacked along the way. The Nara Detachment that broke away from the [-]th Division also encountered Constant harassment by guerrilla forces.

There was no head-on confrontation in this harassing attack, and the devil team was still marching forward, but the speed of the march was weakened.

Yang Sen, the commander in chief of this side of the battlefield, brought over his own method from the Xiangbei battlefield. Under Xue Boling's remote command, the five divisions headed by his [-]th Army fought against the third division head-on for a while, and put their feet down for a while. Withdraw, and now this kind of routine is being used by him to stop the three devils.

But this kind of harassing blocking along the way can only slow down the marching speed of the devils, and cannot consume a lot of vitality of the devils. Moreover, the three devils were ordered to support the 106th Division and the Sae detachment in crisis, and did not pay much attention to the surrounding harassment. There were plane escorts from time to time along the way, and the devils didn't want to fight more with the Chongqing army, which resulted in poor results.

Especially the Tongcheng and Xiushui devils who were relatively close to each other. After a day's march, they were already more than [-] kilometers away from each other, and they would meet soon.

Standing in front of the map, Yang Sen looked at the marching speed of the two groups of devils from the 33rd Division. It seemed that the convergence of the 33rd Division was inevitable. Touching his chin, a rough plan had already formed in his mind in the past two days. .

He thought to himself that the purpose of the devils was very clear, that is, the 33rd Division would merge with the Nara Detachment to form a powerful force to go to Fanbailing in northern Jiangxi to relieve the siege of 106 devils from the [-]th Division and the Saeda Detachment.

Right now, Yang Sen was thinking that since his harassing combat method had no obvious effect on preventing the devils from converging, it seemed that the devils had received an urgent order to gather in one place as soon as possible.

Since obstruction is not an option, there is only siege.

As for this besieged place, Yang Sen set his sights on Changshou Town on the map.

Choosing this place does not mean how suitable this place is for ambush.On the contrary, the terrain of Changshou Town is relatively flat, even if there are mountains, they are outside the town.But this town is where Jiangxi, Hunan and Hubei meet. If the devil wants to break the siege of the 106th Division and the Zuozhi Detachment, he has to live from here.

"Order the entire army to move to Changshou Town!"

At this moment, Yang Sen decided to encircle the 33rd Division in Changshou Town. At the same time, he himself coordinated with Fan Songfu, the commander-in-chief of the guerrillas in Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, and the commander of the 79th Army to form an encirclement line.In terms of military rank, Yang Sen is a general with three stars on his collar, one star higher than these two, and his qualifications are there, so immediately after receiving Yang Sen's instructions, the two armies also began to march towards Changshou Town .

At the same time, Yang Sen reported to the theater commander's department that the Nara detachment would be blocked along the way by other troops deployed in the theater. After all, for the Hubei-Jiangxi guerrilla forces, it was quite difficult to face such an enemy.

After the order was issued, for the [-]th Brigade, whose Changshou Town was right under their noses, the task of building the fortifications in advance fell on them.

Changshou Town was built in an open area, and the obvious fortifications cannot be repaired. After all, devils are not fools. After seeing layers of fortifications, they will actively drill into them.Although Changshou Town is a must for devils, there is still a gap between passing by in a combat-defense posture and directly carrying a gun.

This time, all the remaining residents of Changshou Town were sent up the mountain. The officers and soldiers of the [-]th Brigade laid explosives inside and buried them under the corner of the wall so that the devils could be buried when the explosives exploded and the wall collapsed.

At the same time, the national army in several directions is working hard to compete with the devils of the 33rd Division. As for the Nara Detachment, it is currently being blocked by other main forces of the [-]th Army.

That evening, the battle plan was formed and issued.

Except for the 79th Brigade, the other units of the [-]th Army, together with the guerrilla forces in Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, were responsible for driving the devils in Tongcheng County to Changshou Town; while the devils who came out of Xiushui were driven by the [-]th Army from behind.

After the ghosts of the 33rd Division entered Changshou Town, they trapped them in Changshou Town, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

This is Yang Sen's plan.

That night, the first starry night after the continuous rain.

The officers and soldiers of the 800th Brigade who turned Changshou Town into a powder keg were all withdrawn from Changshou Town. The whole brigade gathered all the things that could fire artillery shells together, and built an artillery [-] meters away from the southeast of Changshou Town. The position, this place is a wild field on the tributary of the Miluo River, and it is suitable for hiding by the river.

After patrolling with the brigade commander and others, Li Chong returned to the tent and asked the guards to light a handful of wormwood to smoke the mosquitoes to drive away the moisture.

The smoke from wormwood is a bit thick, and although the nose is a bit choking, it is better than feeding mosquitoes in the mountains.

That night, the officers and soldiers of the whole brigade fell asleep early, preparing to recharge their spirits for tomorrow's battle.

Before dawn on the second day, the officers and soldiers on Yehe Mountain took all their weapons and went down the mountain to lie in ambush in the wild fields of the Miluo River tributary at the southeast corner of Changshou Town.

In the past, this seemingly large wilderness would certainly not be able to hide the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Brigade.However, in the Battle of Shizhu Ridge, the three regiments fought with bayonets, and there were about four floors of attrition, so they can hide here now.

In addition to these, there is also a reinforced platoon of soldiers who are placed in Changshou Town, ready to be responsible for detonating explosives when the devils enter the town.A sufficient amount of explosives was placed under a bridge over a tributary of the Miluo River outside Changshou Town.

In the morning breeze, everything is ready.

At this time, the expulsion plan for the 33rd Division was put into practice at this moment.

In the morning, when the devils camp was smoking and cooking, the 79th Army, the [-]th Army, and the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi guerrilla forces launched a rhythm-controlled offensive from behind the devils according to the predetermined plan.

Taking it unprepared is no longer effective for the current 33rd Division. The current 33rd Division will set up defensive troops at the front every time they stop for a while. Increased attack power.

In the team, Amakasu Shigetaro felt some pressure from the sudden force of the Chongqing Army. Although the weapons of the Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi guerrilla troops were not as interesting, the momentum created by the number of people was still very strong.

At the moment, Amakasu Shigetaro led the team to fight and retreat. It's not that he couldn't stand it, but he wanted to join the [-] troops in the direction of Xiushui, so that even if he fought, he would have a little more confidence.

Even while blocking and retreating, the devils also showed strong discipline. The large troops stepped up in front, and squadrons rotated to resist from the rear.
