Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

at this time!

Yu Jishi and Ou Zhen immediately reported the news to everyone at the headquarters!

Xue Yue and Sun Zhen's eyes wrinkled slightly. They did not expect that the Japanese 106th Division had such a strong combat effectiveness.

Now the Japanese troops on both the east and west fronts have begun to counterattack, and the battle ahead is very tense.

"Brother Yu..." Sun Zhen came to Yu Hua's side: "What do you think the Japanese army is planning to do with this attitude?!"

Yu Hua's head is also very confused now. He finally figured out the goals of the Japanese army on the western front just now, but now the little Japanese on the eastern front are also restless.

What exactly is the 106th Division planning to do?

While Yu Hua was thinking, suddenly, a staff officer from the Central Army ran into the headquarters and said, "Report!"

"Ji Zhangjian's Sixth Reserve Division came to report. Behind them came a Japanese army with an artillery regiment. This Japanese army was storming the Sixth Reserve Division's position."

Just as the staff officer finished speaking, Division Guo Xunqi of the Sichuan Army also sent a telegram. Behind them, they were also hit by Japanese artillery fire.

Guo Xunqi suspected that the Japanese army's response troops had arrived, and now the little devils were going crazy on both the east and west fronts.

It is very likely that the Japanese 106th Division will tear open the encirclement, implement a roundabout strategy, and eat up our main force on the Western Front!

The Japanese troops on the eastern front acted as a containment, preventing our army from mobilizing troops for rescue.

Immediately, Yu Hua contacted several division commanders on the front line by phone and asked about their battle situation.

After learning this information, Yu Hua said to Sun Zhen and Xue Yue: "Commander Sun, Commander Xue, I propose to dispatch a mountain artillery regiment to support the eastern front."

"At the same time, four 150mm guns of the Central Army's heavy artillery also rushed to support the Eastern Front."

"Also, we must emphasize to the defenders on the eastern front that they must block the Japanese counterattack and cannot abandon their positions without orders."

At this time, Sun Zhen and Xue Yue also followed Yu Hua's instructions. They saw that Yu Hua's plan was good and did not need to be adjusted.

As for the Western Front, Yu Hua asked Liu Changqing to independently cover Guo Xunqi Division and Ji Zhangjian Division to prevent the Japanese army from detouring;

The artillery regiment of the 22nd Army immediately began to suppress the Japanese artillery regiment, and another artillery regiment at Mount Bofus. Yu Hua asked them to immediately move towards the 122nd Division.

Feng Zhanhai's Northeast Army shrank its defense line and moved closer to Wang Mingzhang's division. Rao Guohua's division continued to pursue the Japanese army, and Bai Changsheng's independent regiment moved closer to Ji Zhangjian's division.

After the Sichuan Army adjusted its combat plan, the battle in the entire Wanjialing area fell into a stalemate.

Especially for the Japanese army, Matsuura Junrokuro did not expect that the Republic of China army had so many artillery pieces.

He originally thought that in the previous artillery battle, he had killed at least two-thirds of the opponent's artillery, but the current amount of artillery fire by the Republic of China army far exceeded his estimate;

Now, the battle is in a stalemate, and the artillery superiority of the Republic of China army is immediately reflected.

In addition, Guo Xunqi's division has combat artillery and M2 heavy machine guns. The Japanese tanks and armored vehicles can no longer run rampant like before.

The Japanese troops who came to the rescue failed to open the gap between the Republic of China troops, and the two sides entered a positional battle.

Matsuura Junrokuro immediately contacted the commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Neiji, to report on the current combat situation, saying that the imperial army was weak in terms of artillery numbers.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and no one could do anything to the other.

In Jiujiang, Okamura Neji was so angry that his lungs almost exploded when he saw the message from Matsuura Junrokuro. He cursed the old devil Matsuura in the headquarters, he was just a stupid pig!

The rescue force has also been sent, and now the battle is in a tense state. According to Okamura Neiji's estimation, the 106th Division is an enhanced division, with a number equivalent to two divisions.

Coupled with the rescue force sent by himself, it is equivalent to an independent mixed brigade!

With such a huge force, even if it cannot eat up most of the enemy's main force, it can still quickly retreat from the war!

Why is there a stalemate now? !

Regarding this point, Okamura Neji couldn't figure it out clearly. How did Matsuura Junrokuro command?

In this regard, Okamura Neiji gave a suggestion, that is, to withdraw troops from Wanjialing as soon as possible and not to get entangled with the enemy.

Okamura Neji was afraid that something might happen if the stalemate continued, and he now had doubts about Matsuura Junrokuro's commanding ability. After Matsuura received instructions from Okamura Neji, he immediately went to Sakurai Rakuzo to discuss how to get out of the stalemate.

After studying for a while, the two old Japanese decided to move closer to the Japanese troops on the eastern front and finally withdraw from De'an.

The Suzuki detachment from De'an said that the firepower of the defenders in the direction of De'an was weak. The Saeda detachment from the western front said that the defenders on the western front had strengthened their firepower and it was correct to choose to withdraw from De'an.

that's it!

Matsuura Junrokuro officially issued an order, and the entire division moved closer to the Japanese troops on the eastern front, and then withdrew from De'an!

After the little devils received the order, they no longer continued the stalemate with the Republic of China troops on the western front, and began to carry out a detour strategy to move closer to the Japanese troops on the eastern front.

When the Japanese army took a roundabout route, they chose to attack Sun Kequan's 187th Division.

From the firepower just now, the Japanese army discovered that Sun Kequan's 187th Division on the eastern front was weak in combat effectiveness.

Soon, Sun Kequan received a report from his subordinates that many positions had been captured by the Japanese army. Moreover, there were a large number of Japs and intensive artillery fire.

Sun Kequan's eyes widened: "Damn it, how did the Japanese army come here?"

"Commander, the Japanese troops on the western front seem to be moving closer to us."

"What do these little devils want to do? How come they suddenly change." Sun Kequan complained, "I will send reinforcements to you immediately."

"You must have resisted me!"

After saying that, Sun Kequan immediately called Sun Zhen and reported to him the situation here.

Likewise, at the 22nd Army Headquarters!

Guo Xunqi sent a telegram to Sun Zhen, stating that the Japanese firepower on the western front had become weaker, and that several positions that the Japanese had previously defended were gradually giving up.

In order to prevent the Japanese army from cheating, Guo Xunqi did not dare to send large troops into the Japanese army's positions, and instead sent a small number of soldiers to enter.

After discovering that the Japanese on the Western Front had abandoned their positions and shrunk their defenses, Guo Xunqi reported it.

When Xue Yue, Sun Zhen, and Chen Cheng saw the report from the frontline generals, they were all dumbfounded for a moment: What is this little devil doing? !

"Brother Yu, what do you think?"

Yu Hua rubbed his cheeks with his hands, trying to make himself more awake. Chen Cheng on the side was very attentive.

After noticing this, he immediately asked his adjutant to bring a basin of water and asked Yu Hua to wipe his face.

Yu Hua is really tired tonight. In order to encircle and annihilate the Japanese 106th Division, Yu Hua has stayed up several all-nighters in the past few days, and his energy is obviously not very good now.

Wiping his face with a wet towel, the cold feeling suddenly made Yu Hua sober up!

While wiping his face, he listened to the staff's oral reports from the frontline generals.

I want to find some useful information from these reports. (End of chapter)
