Chapter 496 Wu Qiaohe blocked (1)

When the 33rd Division withdrew from the Shanggao battlefield and was preparing to go north, the Japanese army transferred from Shanghai to the independent mixed brigade No. 20 brigade led by Major General Ikeda Naozo, and also arrived at Nanchang Railway Station that night via the Nanxun Railway.

Not only Ikeda Naozo's No.20 Brigade, but the Third Flying Regiment also flew to several military airports in Nanchang City during the day.

The two forces of land and air were expanded into Nanchang City, which was weakened due to the transfer of the 33rd Division.

After receiving the news, Enkabe Ichiro saw that these two vital forces had arrived in Nanchang, so he simply ordered the brigade to follow the offensive route of the 34th Division and enter the Shanggao battlefield. A new round of large-scale bombing was carried out on the Chongqing Army positions on the Shanggao battlefield.

对于此刻负责进攻任务的34师团以及铃木旅团而言，虽然走了一个33师团，但No.20旅团的加入让他们的信心没有衰退。No.20旅团虽然没有33师团那么多人，但33师团走之前毕竟是把左翼重庆军的防守阵地给击溃了的。

For the national army in Changsha and Shanggao, they did not know that the No. 20 Brigade of the Devils arrived in Nanchang overnight, and the No. The decision to transfer the 33rd Division was made, and it was in the process of gathering and mobilizing before the battle of Shanggao started, so it was not expected by the Ninth Theater.

Time passed by every minute and every second. At 05:30, the officers and soldiers of the Tenth Army, who wanted to spit out their lungs, finally arrived at Wuqiao River at dawn.

After arriving at the Wuqiao River, the 190rd Division and the 33th Division under the Tenth Army retreated one kilometer along the river bank, and then began to frantically build positions, while the Pre-tenth Division continued to move to the upper reaches of the Wuqiao River. The army outflanked the rear of the 33rd Division during the battle, which would make it difficult for the [-]rd Division to look after each other.

The reconnaissance troops have been sent out, and they are waiting for the whereabouts of the 33rd Division.

The 190rd Division and the [-]th Division are lined up on the left and the right. The officers and soldiers of the Tenth Army can be seen along the entire Wuqiao River in this section. On the positions of the two divisions, the artillery commanders gathered their respective Artillery, set up an artillery position one kilometer away from the bank of Wuqiao River.

The muzzle of the cannon was facing Wuqiao River fiercely, waiting for the devil to cross the river, and he was caught off guard.

On the 190th division's position, the temporary first brigade continued to serve as the vanguard of the whole division.

In the first brigade, the sharp knife battalion and a reinforced platoon form the front offensive blade.

The Sharp Knife Battalion was formed during the last attack on the Xinqianghe Devils' position, and the reinforced platoon was equipped with Qing Yishui's American-style Mson submachine guns, with a theoretical rate of fire of 700 rounds per minute and an effective range of 200 meters.When the devils came up from the river bank, they had to face these muzzles, so it was exciting to think about it!

The position is deployed on the undulating land one kilometer away from the Wuqiao River. From the other side of the river, it is impossible to see that there are troops stationed there.

There are no twists and turns in this kind of positional blocking battle, what is important is to open and close. All officers and soldiers are loaded with bullets, ready to use guns to meet the 33rd Division that retreated from the Shanggao battlefield and went north.

Although they didn't sleep all night, everyone's spirits were getting excited. As the Taishan Army with the best soldiers and the best weapons and equipment, facing the eve of the beating of the drums on the battlefield, there was no panic on their faces.

After making all the preparations, Chen Tinghe stood in the temporary brigade headquarters and said, "Lao Li, you and the 33rd Division are old friends on the battlefield, right?"

Li Chong nodded and said with a smile, "When we drilled the valley in Meiling, we faced the 33rd and 34th divisions; we also encountered a lot in Shizhuling and Changshou Town. I didn't expect to fight this time. This 33rd Division."

"Aren't you friends who don't get together?"

"This is the third time we have met on the battlefield. I really want to meet this division commander haha."

"Go back and report, the devil is coming!"

Six kilometers away on the other side of the Wuqiao River, the soldiers in charge of the investigation saw a large army of devils approaching on the horizon.

The scouting soldiers retreated quietly, and then passed the news back.

All the divisions, brigades, regiments, and battalions of the Tenth Army who received the news waited eagerly.

At this moment, on the marching road of the 33rd Division, the commander of the division, Amakasu Shigetaro, was riding on a shiny fur horse.

He is still satisfied with this attack on Shanggao. After all, he defeated the left-wing defenders in Shanggao County before the 34th Division, and it feels very refreshing to be one step ahead.

Although he did not participate in the next attack on Shanggao County, Amakasu Shigetaro believed that he had done enough to defeat the left wing of the Chinese army and had done his best, so now he is riding on a big horse, and he has no burden in his heart Yes, what I think about now is the North China that I am going to go to next.

In Amakasu Shigetaro's view, the role of the enemy he faces will change in the future. When he enters North China, his main task will switch to security warfare, and the main enemy he will face will be to deal with the Eighth Route Armed Forces on the land of North China.

Amakasu Shigetaro was thinking while riding on horseback. The team that had just fought for three days was a little tired due to lack of rest. The whole team just moved forward slowly. The end point of their trip was to go to the battlefield in North China .

The team marched slowly for an hour for a distance of six kilometers.

This made the officers and soldiers of the Tenth Army on the other side of the Wuqiao River wait a little impatiently, the devil must be taking too long.

The officers and soldiers who acted as the vanguard were very upset. The battalion commander had ordered "combat preparation" several times, but the devils kept advancing.The soldiers were upset because every time the battalion commander gave the order to prepare, their spirits rose to the top of their throats, and when they were about to give the order to run forward with both feet, there was no order to attack for a long time. Feel bad.

Finally, the devil's troops arrived on the other side of the Wuqiao River.

It is unrealistic to wait for the devils to push across the river and then bombard them. It is impossible for such a large division to push across the river.

So when the devils built several pontoon bridges on the Wuqiao River, the artillery positions of the 190rd Division and the [-]th Division began to fire at the same time, directly covering the Wuqiao River and the extended area in this section.

In the command post of the brigade headquarters, Li Chong held the binoculars and saw only a spark of artillery explosion in the distance.

This is the firepower exerted by the top main force of the national army.

The sudden bombardment stunned the devils of the 33rd Division. They were walking well on the Sunshine Avenue. Why did the vanguard troops crossing the river suddenly fall into the artillery fire?

Amakasu Shigetaro jumped off his horse all of a sudden. At this moment, his brain was in a daze. The appearance of the Chongqing army on the other side of the river was completely unexpected to him.

According to the area covered by artillery fire, the opponent must be the main force of the Chongqing Army, there is no doubt about this.

But which unit of the Chongqing Army is the opponent?How many people are there?Where are you from?

He didn't know any of this.
