Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2190
Zhang Shaoshuai's Eighth Army Corps took the lead in attacking the Japanese army in Jiujiang. He took the 21th Xueshi Division as the vanguard and crossed Xiushui under the cover of the air force. town.After Anan Weiji received reinforcements from the North China Front Army, the Kwantung Army, and the Commonwealth Army, he stationed a total of one division and two independent brigades in Jiujiang.The abundance of troops made the commander of the 48th Division of the Japanese Army Hiroshi Nakagawa, who was in charge of the defense of Jiujiang, a little bit ready to move. He was no longer satisfied with simple defense, but thought of counterattacking and recovering Madang and Nanchang.

There is a reason why Hiroshi Nakagawa still harbored ambitions when the Japanese army was generally incapable of combating the cadet army. As a newly organized mechanized division of the three regiments, the degree of mechanization of the division is extremely high, and the number of tanks and artillery is more than that of the quadruple regiments. The team has more Class A divisions.Moreover, the tanks and artillery they are equipped with are all new models that have just come off the production line of the arsenal in Japan, with excellent performance.Hiroshi Nakagawa had never fought against the Xuebing Army before, so although he heard a lot about the deeds of the Xuebing Army, he thought it was deliberately fabricated by those who had suffered defeats in order to shirk their responsibilities.

Zhong Chuanguang is indeed very good at fighting, because he has no experience in fighting against the Xuebing army. When he arranged the defensive position on the north bank of Xiushui, he did not set up heavy troops, but only asked each of the three combat troops under his command to send a brigade to station Yong Xing, Ai Chengcheng and Jiuhe Township, the purpose is to find out the real combat strength of the student army, and then prescribe the right medicine.

The 21th Xue Division forcibly crossed the Xiushui River. Under the cover of an aviation unit of a brigade, they used platypus amphibious tanks to open the way, and easily defeated the Daocun brigade stationed in Yongxing Township.An hour and a half later, the 20st Xue Division took a boat and landed in the south of Aicheng Town. Because of the support of the aviation unit, it also easily defeated the Goto Brigade stationed in the town.So far, the Xuebing Army's two offensive arrows against Jiujiang have been formed.At this point in the war, Hiroshi Nakagawa's generals, including Takayuki Uchida, commander of the 8th independent and mixed brigade, and Li Zhengtai, commander of the [-]th independent and mixed brigade of the Korean Communist Army, had no hope of the future of the war. Optimistically, the morale of the troops has also been affected and become low.

Hiroshi Nakagawa only noticed the change in the atmosphere of the troops when the 48th Division of Xue Xue began to attack Jiuhe Township.The military card is also new. Compared with the old model, its horsepower is stronger. Correspondingly, the trekking ability has also been enhanced, which is suitable for the hilly areas in northern Jiangxi.Hiroshi Nakagawa was full of ambitions and wanted to change from passive to active, from simple defense to active offense. Only Major General Suzuki Yoshino, the chief of staff of the [-]th Division, knew this from the Jiujiang Japanese Army.Suzuki Yoshino had just returned from the troops below. He looked worried, and he found Hiroshi Nakagawa and said to him without hesitation: Because of the fierce offensive of the Chinese people, the morale of the troops below is low, and some generals have become impatient. Notify the whole army of the decision to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Okay! I have completed the plan, I will go back to the headquarters, and you will inform the officers above the regiment captain to come to the meeting!"

Hiroshi Nakagawa's original decision was to dispatch a unit to harass the enemy's territory in order to destroy the combat plan of the Xuebing Army, and then form a breakthrough on the frontal battlefield.And once the Xue Bingjun followed his footsteps, then the unit responsible for the harassment mission would become the main force to raid Nanchang.If the main force of the Xuebing army returns to defend Nanchang, then he will sneak attack Madang at night... Zhong Chuanguang always thought that his plan was perfect, but because the two brigades stationed in Yongxing and Ai Chengcheng were powerless to resist He was defeated by the Xuebing Army, which made him feel a little afraid of the combat power of the Xuebing Army.He felt that it would be difficult to launch a counterattack to regain Madang and Nanchang without the support of the air force, so he adjusted the plan and decided to follow the example of Chu overlord Xiang Yuxing's act of breaking the boat and dividing the harassment force into one The alliance has increased to two, and the harassment routes have also been changed to two.

"Our department is highly mechanized. This is our advantage. We must firmly grasp it and make full use of it. Only in this way can we achieve the goal of winning by surprise. Li Sang, Mr. Uchida, there is an indispensable condition for this plan to be realized. , that is, Jiujiang must not be lost too early, otherwise, we will not be able to launch a surprise attack on Madang from the Yangtze River... Li Sang, Mr. Uchida, can you do it?" At the meeting, Zhongchuan first made a plan for himself. Explain, and then make a request to Li Zhengtai and Uchida Takayuki.

This plan of Zhong Chuan, apart from its feasibility, is indeed quite surprising.After experiencing the battles between Yongxing and Ai Chengcheng, Uchida Takayuki and Li Zhengtai have reached an agreement on some things. They both believe that the biggest threat to them from the merger of the two schools is not the ground troops, but the sky.The Hankou Flying Corps lost its air supremacy in northern Jiangxi, which allowed the aviation unit of the Xuebing Army to provide fire support to its ground troops unscrupulously.The Xuebing Army Air Force has long been famous. With the small scale of their own air defense force, Uchida and Li Zhengtai both felt that if the threat from the air could not be resolved, Jiujiang would fall sooner or later.From this point of view, it is almost impossible for them to complete the mission of Anan Weiji and stick to Jiujiang until the end of the Battle of Changsha.That being the case, the strategy of using surprise soldiers seems to be their last hope.

Uchida Takayuki was the first to express his opinion. He stood up and said sonorously: "Your Excellency, there is absolutely no problem with the independent and mixed 20th Brigade. As long as there is one person in my department, the Chinese people will not even think about entering Jiujiang."

Li Zhengtai immediately followed up to make a statement. He glanced at Uchida and said, "Our department is willing to assist Your Excellency Uchida to defend Jiujiang, but if there is one person, we will not let the Chinese people enter Jiujiang."

Hiroshi Nakagawa was very satisfied with the attitude of Uchida and Li Zhengtai. He nodded appreciatively and said, "Yaoxi! With your words, I have more confidence in the next battle." Then he glanced at everyone and said: "Mr. The Xuebing army is indeed very strong and arrogant. But I think our army has the upper hand in this battle. It is a very simple reason, this is fighting on the land of China, and all the people living in it are Chinese people. In this land, we can do whatever we want, but what about the army of apprentices? They are doomed to be timid. So as long as we give full play to our advantage of speed, then the Chinese people can only chase us in a hurry! Gentlemen! The empire uses military force Rejuvenate the country, let us show our martial arts and establish the honors that belong to the samurai! All for His Majesty, all for the empire! Long live His Majesty! The Empire of Japan must win!"
