Glorious Mission 1937

Minako Suzuki thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, I don't have any confidence in the low position of General Chen who assassinated China. Compared with assassinating Jiang, the leader of China, it is more difficult to assassinate Chen Feng, because Chen Feng not only possesses an extremely powerful opponent. The intelligence agency that detects anti-infiltration, and there is also a powerful special force beside him. Every soldier in it has undergone strict training, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. More importantly, Chen Feng himself is not as weak as Jiang. During the assassination in Showa 13, I saw with my own eyes that Chen Feng almost killed a special warfare squadron of the Empire with only a sniper rifle, his strength is extremely terrifying!"

Yan Junliu did not expect Suzuki Minuchi to have such a high opinion of Chen Feng, and it was also the first time he heard that General China was actually so powerful himself!

"Miss Uchiko, no matter how difficult the task is, it is imperative to assassinate Chen Feng and Yan Xishan, the commander of China's second war zone. Now the "government" of China has shown a tendency to join forces with the United States, Britain and other countries to fight against the empire. If the goal is achieved, then the only option is to take the risk of assassinating China’s leader Jiang and China’s senior commanders such as Chen and Yan. Once something happens to Jiang, China will surely fall into long-term civil strife, and it will even go back to decades ago This is extremely beneficial to the annexation of China by the Empire of Japan."

"Although the big warlords in China don't have the appeal of Jiang, they can also cause turmoil in China's military and political affairs. That's why the base camp will touch you two imperial elites!" Yan Junliu said.

"Hay, please rest assured, Commander. Although this task is very difficult, I will definitely go all out. Even if it is a broken piece of jade, I will not hesitate!" Suzuki Minako said loudly.

"Yo Xi, the base camp also knows the difficulty of assassinating Chen Feng, so they specially dispatched a team composed of high-level warriors from China to cooperate with you. In addition, all the resources of the dispatched army will be tilted towards you! No matter how much you pay , I will also help you break into the interior of China!" Yan Junliu said.

"Hay! Guaranteed to complete the mission! Swear allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"

"His Majesty Onboard!" [

Neither Old Jiang from Chongqing nor Chen Feng from Guisui knew that the Japanese army was trying every means to assassinate them, but when they were in their position, even they didn't know what specific actions the Japanese were taking.But it will always be on guard.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the national government and Chiang himself became more confident in the War of Resistance, especially after the talks with Roosevelt and Churchill, and after receiving the joint commitment from Roosevelt and Churchill, Chiang was determined to win the war He became more confident, so he took the rare initiative in the war against Japan, ordering the fifth, sixth, and ninth theaters of the national government not only to do a good job in defense.At the same time, we must look for opportunities to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army.

It is rare that the chairman of the committee has such ambitions. The people below, such as Gu Zhutong, Yang Sen, and Xue Yue, dare not neglect when they are happy. Therefore, these theaters have increased their attention to the Japanese army. This attention does not matter. The Japanese army's Some small movements were "revealed".

After receiving information from the intelligence agency about the frequent mobilization of the Japanese army, Xue Yue decisively judged that the Japanese army wanted to attack the party-state with a limited force while taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of its naval and army victory in the South Pacific.Therefore, while reporting to the Military Commission of the National Government, Xue Yue ordered senior military officers from the Ninth War Zone to hold a combat meeting in Changsha.

At the meeting, Xue Yue pointed out that defeating the enemy mainly depends on careful preparations and the strong morale of the army and the people.He also put forward a new tactical concept, that is, on both sides and front of the enemy's penetration into the interior of northern Hunan.Deploy heavy troops; when the enemy advances to the Liuyang River and the troops have dispersed, they will counterattack and pursue from the front; the troops in the eastern mountainous area and the west along the Xiangjiang River will flank and encircle.

Xue Yue then formulated a detailed combat plan.After reporting to the Military Commission, defensive positions began to be deployed, and the third Changsha battle was imminent.

On August 8, the 27th Division completed the assembly from Xinqiang Town to the right bank area of ​​the lower reaches of the Xinqiang River, and gathered the main force near the river bank.The 6th Division entered the vicinity of Tuoba in batches five days ago, preparing to launch an offensive.The 40rd Division assembled a little later, around the 5th between the 3th Division and the 27th Division, preparing to launch an offensive from the morning of the 40th.

But at the same time, the Japanese army also discovered that the troops of the Ninth Theater of China were going north one after another. At the same time, they intercepted Xue Yue's orders to the 37th Army and the 78th Army, and learned part of the battle plan of the Ninth Theater.But it is a pity that the high-level Japanese army didn't care about this, especially the generals Anan Wei, who was the commander-in-chief of this battle, completely ignored the importance of this information.

On the evening of the 27th, the vanguard of the Japanese army, a total of 6 infantry regiments from the 40th and 6th divisions, arrived on the north bank of the Xinqiang River.The heavy rain in northern Hunan that night, on the one hand, covered the Japanese army's actions, and on the other hand, it also hindered the Japanese army from crossing the river and advancing, so the real offensive began on the morning of the 28th.

The first to attack was the 40th Division of the Japanese Army. The division waded from the east of Tongxi Street in the middle reaches of the Xinqiang River, and lined up three regiments from west to east to garrison the 3th Division of the 20th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. The position launched an attack.

At the same time, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army waded eastward on the Yuehan Road Iron Bridge to Xinqiang Town.From west to east are the 45th Wing, the 13th Wing, and the 23rd Wing.The two wings on the two wings waded into battle under the cover of artillery fire at noon on the 28th, and the 13th Wing went into battle on the afternoon of the 28th.Opposite this department is the 20rd Division of the 133th Army.

Although the Japanese army broke through part of the 20th Army's positions that day with the assistance of aircraft, artillery and warships, the Japanese army was also stubbornly blocked by the 20th Army, causing heavy casualties.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about the strength of the two warring parties. Since the Japanese "government" has been seeking to go north or south in the past two years, and is also limited by the increasing consumption of resources in Japan, it is responsible for resolving the incident in China. China's dispatched troops have been forced to reduce its troop strength, restrict combat areas, and restrict military depots.In just two years from 1939 to 1941, the "medicine" obtained by the 11th Army was only half of that in Wuhan in 1938, which undoubtedly greatly limited the offensive capabilities of the Japanese army.

目前华中兵力共计38万2千人，其中11军兵力约占一半左右。而日军第11军当面的第9战区以及第5战区，却是此时中国9大战区战区实力仅次于陈锋的第八战区的强力战区。目前第9战区共拥有36个师，合计约38万人，数量上刚好是第11军的1倍。[

The quantity alone is not terrible. What is terrible is the quality of the ninth theater and the fifth theater. In terms of quality, most of the troops in the ninth theater have experienced a series of battles since the Battle of Wuhan. Since the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the troops who have filled the entire field.

In this war of the entire nation, many troops of the national government, the main force in the war of resistance, are still very heroic. No one can deny this.After more than 4 years of war, some units collapsed, such as the "German division" that performed well at the beginning of the war, because these units were under the care of the Japanese army at the beginning of the war, such as the 36th, 87th, and 88th divisions, After the battle in Wuhan, it has been wiped out.

However, there are also some units that have become stronger with each battle, such as the 74th Army of the National Revolutionary Army with the highest anti-Japanese record, and Tang Enbo’s 20th Army Corps.At this time, the 9 theaters are the essence of the entire Chinese national defense force in terms of quantity and quality.Therefore, for this battle, both Chairman Jiang in Chongqing and Commander Xue in Changsha have placed great expectations.

The 27th Army of Yang Sen’s 20th Army is in charge of the Xinqianghe frontline defense position. This army was introduced before as the first Sichuan Army to fight against Japan. Compared with each other, but after several years of beatings, this army has entered Lao Jiang's eyes with its daring to fight. Whether it is for buying people's hearts or for other reasons, Lao Jiang's treatment of this army is still very good anyway. At least the weapons and equipment are very generous, and now the entire 27th Army can be described as strong and strong.

激战一昼夜，第20军奉命向东南方向的三江口、关王桥、王家坊山区后撤。同日，第58军新11师抵达杨林街，协同第20军由东向西侧击南犯之敌。日军方面，第6师团第23联队、第45联队在克服了**抵抗之后向大荆街方面追击。第40师团则将部队分为两个纵队前进。

Generally speaking, the Japanese army's offensive went relatively smoothly. Due to the proper command, only one day and one night of fighting repelled several main forces of the Nationalist Government's Ninth War Zone, which was even smoother than the Chinese Expeditionary Army Command had previously expected. .

It's too smooth to be a good thing. People tend to stumble when they are most proud.When this battle was launched, Anan Weiji said that the purpose of this battle was to destroy the Japanese field army. However, due to the smooth progress in the early stage, Anan Weiji made up his mind to take the opportunity to seize Changsha.

Because Anan Weiji judged that the Chinese army was not as strong as it seemed on the surface, and the defense line was not very strong. If the Imperial Japanese Army insisted, it should be "very easy to enter Changsha and Zhuzhou", and capturing the two places will have a great impact on "containing Guangdong." Great effect." Considering these, Anan Weiji decided to revise his previous battle plan and capture Changsha and Zhuzhou! (Your support on this site is my greatest motivation.
