The Republic of Heroes

Although Yang Xiaoou defected halfway to Wu Xiaoliang's command, after several major battles, he was on par with Little Japan. Although the Second Army was inferior to the 57th Division and almost collapsed at the most critical moment in Changshu, it was still in the end. Stabilizing the line of defense made him, the commander of the second army, very proud.That is to say, in this battle with the Japanese army again and again, he seemed to experience a sense of belonging that he had never had before.

As for Wu Xiaoliang's insistence on fighting against Japan, it was almost unreasonable stubbornness. Although it was difficult for him to understand, he still carried it out to the letter.At the same time, the morale of the Second Army was also rising like never before. Just two days ago, they had just successfully wiped out an aggressive brigade of the Japanese Army.They are obviously more willing to accept this order than the army commander Yang Xiaoou.

Neither Wu Xiaoliang nor Yang Xiaoou knew it. Just as they were preparing for a surprise counterattack, the three Japanese army divisions that landed at Qiyakou also decided to launch a joint attack.They have been without command for a long time due to the disappearance of the Supreme Commander, Minister of the Army Shirakawa Yoshinori.Therefore, the initiator of this battle plan was the No. 14 division commander Naoliang Matsuki, the oldest of the three division commanders, who took the lead, while the other two division commanders had no objection and fully cooperated.

In fact, Lieutenant General Naoaki Matsuki's plan is very simple. After several days of fierce fighting, he found a clue. Although the Chinese army in front of him is not weak in combat effectiveness, its morale is difficult to last. Once the battle is stalemate, it is easy to get discouraged.From this, he designed a plan of uninterrupted attack. The three divisions chose two points to carry out uninterrupted day and night attacks. The strength of the imperial army was far above that of the Chinese army.Therefore, this time they showed the tenacity of attacking the fortress and assaulted the China's defense line.

Of course, this is not without disadvantages, casualties are a problem, but the situation forced them to break their predicament in the China battlefield as soon as possible.The Kwantung Army in the northeast occupied the three eastern provinces with only one division. The North China Dispatch Army in Pingjin also besieged Zhang Xueliang, commander of the Northeast Army, in the city of Beiping. Even He Yingqin, chief of staff of the National Revolutionary Army in Nanjing, flew to Peiping to fight negotiation.

And the strength of their three divisions is still struggling to advance near the landing point. How can they still have the face to wait for the opportunity?The three of them hit it off almost immediately, and Hatsutaro Haraguchi, the head of the Seventh Division, even pleaded for his own responsibility. He has been serving as the reserve team of the No. In a hurry, jump up and down.

"Your Excellency Pine, the Seventh Division has been itching for a long time, leave the left wing to us!"

Song Mu Zhi nodded and readily agreed, this time he will not refuse, he will do whatever it takes to defend the defense line of General Dongchuan Tichina.

As for the Seventh Division, because they wanted to help defend against the Seventh Division's counterattack, they immediately dispatched a regiment to join the sequence of storming the Fifth Army.And the captain of this regiment is also an old acquaintance of Wu Xiaoliang, Miyake Miyake who was once captured by Wu Xiaoliang in the Suidong defense battle.

According to the unwritten rules of the Japanese Army, military generals like Miyake Miyake who were once captured are no longer qualified to serve as military commanders, but Miyake was so outstanding back then that he was known as the flower of the Imperial Army. The army bosses have lamented this, so he finally returned to the army after years of dormancy under the protection of the military bosses.

It's just that Miyake Miyake at this moment is no longer the flower of the famous general back then, and now he is just an ordinary commander of the Hiroshima Division.The Fifth Division is also known as the Hiroshima Division. This division is not only one of the seventeen standing divisions of the Japanese Army, but also one of the six divisions that existed in the Meiji era. , He made great military exploits in the Nissin War and the Russo-Japanese War.

Let Miyake Mitsuji return to the military in such a prestigious division, which shows that the big men in the military still have high hopes for him, so when the division head Shouichi Terauchi decided to send only one regiment to participate in the battle against the Changshu defense line When the time came, he volunteered without hesitation.

This is a crucial battle after his ten-year hibernation in the military and his comeback. Whether he can get rid of his humiliation depends on this battle.

Miyake Miyake tightened the armed belt around his waist, and he felt extremely uncomfortable with the commander's knife hanging on his waist. He knocked off a piece of dirt on the toe of his riding boots, pulled the saddle and stepped on the horse.

"set off!"

The pride in the heart of the famous general Zhihua made it so. He disdained Naoaki Matsuki's rigid tactics and such a battle plan without technical content. Even if he won the Imperial Army, he would pay a heavy price.

Most of the main force of China's Fifth Army deployed defenses in the Hejiabang and Dongjiaqiao areas. He had studied China's defensive tactics, and they were extremely rigid.As long as a highly mobile partial division is sent to go deep into its rear and cut off its back route, the Chinese army's morale will be in chaos, and its frontal defense line will undoubtedly collapse.

Miyake Mitsuji is going to be this highly mobile division, because he is leading the No. 40 First Cavalry Regiment of the Fifth Division, which is also a regiment with outstanding combat achievements.When they heard that they would go deep into the enemy's rear in China, they couldn't hide their excitement for a small and deep raid.Shouting in his mouth, he accelerated the marching speed of the horse team.It is necessary to rush to the predetermined location before dawn in order to achieve the effect of launching a sudden attack.

However, before he set off, he got an important piece of information. The Beijing-Shanghai Police Commander Wu Xiaoliang's headquarters was originally in Changshu City. At the most critical moment a few days ago, in order to encourage the soldiers to fight bravely, he even moved the headquarters to the east of the city. Jiayu, this place is already very close to the front line, but it's a pity that Wu Xiaoliang's staff officers were too careless, and they made such a big mistake in arranging the defense line, which just gave him a chance to avenge his shame.

It's been ten years, General China, who will win this time depends on tonight.

The belly of the east was already white, and a large group of cavalry rolled up the smoke and dust, and headed straight to the west. At this time, most of the soldiers on the Chinese battlefield were still immersed in the aftertaste of the dream of the previous night.

Miyake Miyake grasped the reins tightly, and clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly. This is his road to revenge. After ten years of dormancy, his black hair will turn white. The youngest general in the imperial kingdom had already become a laughing stock in the military circles, and he, tonight, will Take back all that was lost.

Ten miles east of Changshu County, Sujiayu, the guards of the garrison headquarters began to change their defenses as usual. The soldiers who stood on guard all night were already exhausted and breathless, and suddenly...
