Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Faced with this dilemma, Matsuura Junrokuro had no choice but to order the remaining Japanese troops to occupy the high ground and hold on until dawn!

He immediately requested reinforcements from the commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Neiji!

Jiujiang!

After Okamura Neji received the message from Junroku Matsuura, he was so angry that he kicked down his desk.

"Bagaya Road!!——"

"Matsuura Junrokuro, this stupid pig, he really disappointed me!"

"He has completely lost the face of the Imperial Army."

In this regard, many Japanese generals could only say nothing and silently waited for their commander to vent.

Miyazaki spoke first on Monday: "Your Excellency, Commander, there are currently close to 106 people in the th Division!"

"Let's let it sit tight until daybreak!"

"During the day, the empire's aviation force can assist, cover the 106th Division, and increase the morale of the troops."

On the sidelines, Hanjiro Iketani and Acting Chief of Staff Yoshimoto Teiichi also agreed with Miyazaki’s opinion on Monday:

"Your Excellency, Commander, give Matsuura an order to hold on. Holding on and waiting for reinforcements is the best option now."

Okamura Neji closed his eyes, and after a long while, he uttered two words from his mouth: "Follow it!"

Soon, the 11th Army Headquarters immediately sent electricity to Matsuura Junrokuro and asked him to lead the remaining troops and hold the position to wait for reinforcements! !

Therefore, Matsuura Junrokuro led the remaining troops and stayed in the surrounding mountains. Within the division, all the regiment-level and brigade-level artillery were now fully covering the division troops going up the mountain.

The Little Devils still had a large number of regiment-level and brigade-level artillery pieces, which also caused a lot of casualties to the Republic of China troops on the charge.

The Japanese artillery fire cover also bought the remnants of the 106th Division time to move to the mountains.

At the 22nd Army Headquarters, Yu Hua received information from the front line that Matsuura, an old Japanese soldier, had given up on breaking out and now chose to hold on.

After fierce fighting by the frontline troops, Matsuura Junrokuro's 106th Division is now entrenched in several hilltop villages such as Leimingguliu, Serge Street, Pancun, Tianbusujianlusu, etc.!

Based on the terrain, the Japanese troops stubbornly blocked the charge of the Republic of China troops. For a while, the frontline troops were unable to capture the Japanese positions! !

The battle at Wanjialing lasted all night, and such a huge movement also attracted special attention from the senior officials of China and Japan.

In particular, the 11th Division of the 106th Army was trapped in Wanjialing, and was in danger of being surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese. The Japanese base camp was anxious.

The Wuhan Raiders failed. This is a great shame and humiliation.

The Japanese base camp ordered Okamura Neiji to rescue the 106th Division.

Okamura Neiji also knew the importance of the matter, so as soon as day broke, the Japanese Army Air Force came to the Wanjialing area.

As soon as the Japanese plane arrived, they immediately gave the trapped little devils a shot in the arm, and the little devils began to cheer.

The little Japanese plane resisted the circling, flapped its wings, cheered up the Japanese troops on the ground, and then flew towards the positions of the Sichuan Army, the Guangdong Army, the Northeast Army, and the Central Army.

There was an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion in the Sichuan army. As soon as the Japanese planes arrived, they aimed at them and swept across them!

Five of the Japanese planes that resisted were shot down in one fell swoop!

You know, this time the Army Air Force came to help, but only twenty-five aircraft came in, and now five of them have been destroyed.

The captain of the Japanese aircraft became anxious and shouted: "Pull up!"

"Pull all up...don't resist flying, the enemy has anti-aircraft weapons!!"

After the Japanese plane pulled up, it began to drop bombs on the ground.

The Japanese plane dropped the bomb and flew away. At the same time, Xue Yue, Chen Cheng, Sun Zhen, Yu Hua and others walked out of the air raid shelter. When they learned that the Japanese plane had left, they immediately began to take advantage of this time to move the headquarters.

When daytime came and Japanese planes were rampant, Yu Hua moved the headquarters to a naturally formed cave.

"Everyone!" Chen Cheng said, "The principal just sent me a message, asking us to wipe out the Japanese 106th Division."

"The First Uprising in Wuchang is coming soon, and the Japanese 106th Division will be completely annihilated. This is the best gift!!"

"According to last night's battle assessment, the Japanese 106th Division is now estimated to have only troops."

"We must end the battle as soon as possible, preferably by completely annihilating the 106th Division this morning."

Yu Hua stood up: "Sir Chen, although we now have the mobile force of the 88th Army, the Japanese aviation is dominated by the Japanese aviation force during the day."

"The casualties we will pay for our attack will be greater, and the commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Neiji, will definitely mobilize other troops to relieve the siege."

"If we want to annihilate the Japanese 106th Division before this morning, we must have the help of our Air Force."

After hearing what Yu Hua said, Sun Zhen nodded in agreement: "Old Xue, Old Chen, the Japanese planes are making a lot of noise. If our air force can go to war, this can greatly improve our morale."

Xue Yue also understood the importance of the air force. He said: "Let's do this. Lao Chen and I jointly send a message to the principal to express the difficulty of the war situation and the Japanese aviation forces harassing our army."

“I beg the principal to send our country’s air force to help!!”

Yu Hua on the side heard that Xue Yue and Chen Cheng were willing to take action. In addition, Wanjialing has now become the focus of China and Japan.

Principal Chang will definitely send the air force here. If the battle is won, the old man’s face will also be improved;

After all, in this battle, his Central Army has also come forward. Once he wins, he can make a big deal about it.

Soon, the Jinling Headquarters in Hankou received the telegrams from Chen Cheng and Xue Yue, and Minister He gave the telegrams to Dai Chunfeng.

Immediately, Dai Chunfeng gave it to Principal Chang. The old man took a look, thought for a moment, and immediately agreed.

Now the Republic of China Air Force in Hankou has replaced a batch of aircraft models. Compared with the Japanese aircraft, they are not weaker!

In this way, the Republic of China Air Force stationed in Hankou took off and headed for Wanjialing.

At the same time, the aviation volunteer team dispatched by Lao Maozi to the Republic of China also took off!

In Jiujiang, Okamura Neji once again received a message from Matsuura Junrokuro. The old Matsuura devil said that because his division had fought many times.

Many grassroots officers have been killed in battle. Now many soldiers are promoted from the front line and lack combat experience. The combat effectiveness of the troops is almost exhausted.

I beg the commander to airdrop a group of grassroots officers to help the 106th Division stabilize the war situation! !

After Okamura Neji saw this telegram, he felt that his head was big. This Matsuura really treated Okamura Neji as a nanny.

However, now that the Japanese base camp is paying attention to the battle at Wanjialing, Okamura Neiji must comply.

He immediately transferred a group of grassroots officers, more than 200 people in total, and asked these people to rush to the airport immediately and then airdrop to Wanjialing.

After the Japanese planes arrived in the sky above Wanjialing, the Chinese air force also arrived!

The fighter jets escorting both sides started fighting as soon as they met!

Planes shuttled through the clouds, machine gun bullets continued to spray out, and planes continued to fall in the sky, including planes from the Republic of China and planes from the Japanese army.

The air battle lasted for twenty minutes and ended with the victory of the Republic of China Air Force.

On the ground, when the Republic of China troops saw the Japanese planes leaving in disgrace, everyone cheered happily. (End of chapter)
