Chapter 38: Blood and Fire Cage City (5)

Under normal circumstances, the judgment that Junroro Matsuura's military is difficult to successfully smuggle at night is based on its basis. The Ganjiang River has always been wide, and it can reach more than one thousand meters in July and August of the water season. Although it is still dry season, the river surface is six or seven hundred meters wide. Under the blockage of small Japanese gunboats, it is not easy for the Chinese army to cross with wooden boats.

But things in this world cannot always be measured by common sense. This time, China has invested a lot of money in order to transfer its troops to the north shore under any circumstances. Three floating bridges that can be placed in the river and cannons can be built. In order to increase the flow of people on the floating bridge, Cheng Jiaji also made more than a dozen wooden boards tied with thick ropes, and could only cross the small floating bridge of light infantry as a supplementary solution.

Place it on both sides of each iron cable bridge and pull it up together whenever you need to expose the locations of a iron cable bridge and a few small wooden floating bridges. The Chinese army can send all the men and supplies of a unit of 10,000 people to the other side in about an hour. In fact, Cheng Jiaji insisted on building so many floating bridges on the Gan River, not all to transport troops to the north bank of the Gan River. He also had a hidden intention, but this might not be explained clearly.

As soon as it got dark, it started to drizzle in Nanchang City, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. This belated spring rain did not cause any trouble for the 18th Army to increase troops to the north shore. On the contrary, several soul figures of the 18th Army secretly thanked God in their hearts because of the arrival of this timely rain.

Nearly 10,000 troops were quickly crossing the Ganjiang River from the floating bridge. The second battle was Bai Xianhao, the commander of the 98th Division of the Gui clan. Naturally, there were some of his troops under him who were "sponsored" by other officials from the mainland of the 18th Army.

"Yufu, take care of yourself, I wish you a victory and a success." Lieutenant General Huang, who came to see the army off in person, revealed his strong confidence in defeating the Japanese army through his words. It seems that the fact that the second echelon will be used on the second day of the war. It did not disturb the mood of the supreme commander of the Nanchang Defense War. He was still optimistic about the prospects for this battle.

Lieutenant General Huang's abnormal emotions made Bai Xianhao a little surprised when he knew his character.

"Brother Yufu, don't learn to be like Changfeng, and you will be forced to do whatever you want. As a result, you'll almost wipe out the troops. If you can't eat anymore, just call your brother and I'll be there any time, so I'll save you." Cheng Jiaji, who was lined up in the third echelon, made fun of Bai Xianhao, who had always had a good relationship with him. Except for Lieutenant General Huang, no one noticed. Cheng Jiaji took the opportunity to speak and handed a small note to Bai Xianhao inadvertently.

"Haoran. Don't worry. I don't want to die. You can't die either. We are all people with heavy family burdens. I will definitely let you come here in advance in advance!" Bai Xianhao, a wife and concubine of four, said in return, and was not much younger than him. The new term "family burden" he mentioned was the first term Cheng Jiaji felt that his wife was too much, so he said it. At this moment, Bai Xianhao came back with the original word, which made Cheng Jiaji unable to find anything to refute him at once, so he had to beat him up and fool him.

"Everyone, it's getting late. Brother, I should cross the river. Let's leave." Bai Xianhao gave a round gift and went straight north. If his behavior of malice in military personnel was put on weekdays, even if these generals who came to see him off would feel a little unhappy. In any case, among these people, there were several military-level commanders above him, Bai Xianhao, and even other officers of the same level as him were mostly older than Bai Xianhao. He was so disrespectful that it would be unreasonable to reason.

At this moment, not only Bai Xianhao was so free and easy, but everyone had no intention of blaming him. Everyone felt like a mirror in their hearts. Although Bai Xianhao's departure was not as good as a life, he was inevitable in danger. No one was willing to entangle such a fine branch of a general who was going to go through fire and water for the country. Moreover, Bai Xianhao's move was just a little casual, and it might not mean to be disdainful.

Although Bai Xianhao was not tall, his steps were extremely fast. He walked to the edge of the pontoon bridge at once. He stepped onto the bridge and rushed to the pontoon bridge, and rushed to the other side. In front of him, thousands of troops rolled north from the pontoon bridge without hesitation.

Cheng Jiaji suddenly saw a piece of river water that was red by torches. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a lyrics popped up without thinking on his lips, "This is the surging river water, it is clearly the heroic blood that has flowed for thousands of years!"

As soon as Cheng Jiaji said this, a rumbling cannon sound came from the upstream of the floating bridge. The cannon sound interrupted Cheng Jiaji's poetic spirit and made the atmosphere on the river beach a little nervous. Fortunately, the cannon sound stopped soon.

"Martial throne, three small Japanese gunboats attempted to set up a pontoon bridge. My artillery discovered and sunk a Japanese ship, and the others fled." A major ran past and reported.

After listening to what the major said, General Huang said to the generals around him: "Everyone, let's go! Stay here again, the Japanese cannons should come."

Lieutenant General Matsuura soon learned the "bad" news that the Chinese army had launched a large-scale increase in troops to Jiangbei. In fact, China did not intend to keep the military operation secret. In fact, as Cheng Jiaji said, a large army of nearly 10,000 people was deployed, and even at night, there was no secret to protect it. The key was to act decisively and quickly.

"Order all troops that have entered the city to not attack without authorization and be on guard. Order the artillery to run to places with bright light on the other side." Matsuura, who realized that he had made a serious mistake by stopping the attack at dusk, was still clear at this moment, and the order he issued was also wise. But after all, Matsuura still did not calculate thoroughly, and a person who should never be ignored at all. This person is Cheng Jiaji.

Although the Japanese intelligence department, who was dedicated to the Japanese army, sent personal information about Cheng Jiaji to Lieutenant General Junji Matsuura before the war. However, before the war, Lieutenant General Matsuura, who had always been against the Chinese army and army-level generals, did not take a small division commander of the Chinese army at all. After suffering repeated secret losses from the 18th Army in the past two days, Lieutenant General Matsuura was vigilant against Cheng Jiaji and other generals of the 18th Army, but he was still far from considering him as a strong enemy in his life.

It is precisely this paralyzing mentality of thinking that the Chinese army only dares to use "conspiracy" to make small fuss. It has made General Matsuura lucky to be the last general in the Japanese army to underestimate Cheng Jiaji. Of course, Cheng Jiaji himself is very willing to continue to think that the Japanese generals do not exist. Unfortunately, the Japanese are not stupid yet!

When Bai Xianhao led his troops across the river, outside Nanchang City, there was a pine forest only seven or eight miles away from the command headquarters of the Japanese 106th Division.

From the outside, there is nothing unusual in this pine forest. But if you walk deep into this forest, you will find that it has become a sea of ​​soldiers. To be precise, this forest has become a sea of ​​cavalry. The 1,500 cavalry brigade led by Liu Tianlong are quietly hiding here, and even the mouths of all the land war horses were covered in cloth.

In the core area of ​​the woods, several heads of the cavalry brigade were drinking water while discussing that they would choose that route to get rid of the Japanese pursuit after the target was assaulted. If a Japanese soldier could hear the content of the Chinese officers' voices in a low voice, the Japanese would definitely be frightened to incontinence on the spot. The target of these Chinese cavalry was actually the 106th Division of the Japanese army outside Jinxianmen.

The debate did not last long, and Liu Tianlong decided to complete the task and then retreated from the southwest side with a relatively complex terrain to Xiangtang, which had not yet fallen into the hands of the Japanese army. When the group of men discussed the combat plan, Tian Jiafu was lying on the side and sleeping soundly. However, his good dream could not be accomplished immediately.

"Captain Tian, ​​you dare to be sure. The 106th Division Division headquarters is outside Jinxian Gate." Liu Tianlong asked seriously at Tian Jiafu, who had just been dragged by Sun Liu and was still half asleep. This is the third time that Liu Tianlong has confirmed this important information to Tian Jiafu today. Although Tian Jiafu and his subordinates have never missed the information of spying on the Japanese army, this matter is of great importance, and there is no mistake at all. If it is really wrong, then even Liu Tianlong himself cannot bear the responsibility. The reason is very simple. General Huang and Cheng Jiaji have carefully prepared for this heart-wrenching battle for two months. Only one request is not to attack, and one blow will be hit. So Liu Tianlong confirmed it again and again.

"I'll guarantee it with my head." Tian Jiafu was making a guarantee to Liu Tianlong, while thinking goodbye to me in his heart. He was very polite to me, and he gave money and women. He still couldn't trust me when he reached a critical juncture. If he were the general, he would never ask me this question again and again. It seems that if he wanted to survive in China, he would still be justified by holding the general's thigh tightly.

"The Japanese traitor is also a human being, and they also need the trust of their masters. Although no one will unconditionally trust a person who does not even love his motherland, Cheng Jiaji is no exception. However, Cheng Jiaji is at least much smarter than Liu Tianlong on the surface, and as the real master of Tian Jiafu and others, Cheng Jiaji's understanding of the mentality of his slaves is not comparable to that of Liu Tianlong.

"Let's go as soon as ten or half hours at night." Liu Tianlong did not realize that he had repeatedly verified the pains of his fear of gain and loss, and had offset the effort he had put into Tian Jiafu during this period.

As soon as Bai Xianhao's troops crossed the river, they immediately launched on the spot. Under the guidance of the guide sent to the Central Plains, nearly 10,000 Chinese troops took advantage of the night to rush over to the Japanese strongholds in Nanchang City. In this way, the pressure on the various forward positions in Nanchang City of the Japanese army was greatly increased, especially the key Niuxing Station where Bai Xianhao attacked. The less than 500 Japanese troops here were not the opponent of a main brigade force of Bai Xianhao's troops who came in the moonlight. The Chinese army took only an hour to capture most of the Niuxing Station. The extremely important stronghold of Niuxing Station was in danger, forcing Lieutenant General Matsuura, who was reluctant to fight night battles with the Chinese army, had no choice but to send reinforcements.

"Order the 113th Regiment to dispatch two brigades to reinforce Niuxing Railway Station." The 113th Regiment was stationed inside and outside Jinxianmen at this time. This corps was the third Japanese army to enter the battle during the day. Matsuura's order was equivalent to exposing the 106th Division Division to the cavalry of the Chinese army. (The fourth Japanese 106th Division was the garrison of the garrison of the division as the general preparatory team of the division was in the direction of Lehua, five or six miles away from the division headquarters.)

At 11:00 pm on March 15, the 106th Division Division Headquarters.

Lieutenant General Matsuura felt that he was very anxious tonight. Matsuura explained this phenomenon as it was all due to the current situation of war. Tonight's rainy night did not bring any good luck to the Japanese army. First, the Chinese army used some "monster" method, and within about an hour, it "changed" a large number of troops to the north shore, caught the Japanese army off guard, and so many positions occupied by the Japanese army were taken back by the Chinese army. Immediately afterwards, a large number of Chinese troops in the rear of the Japanese army were "

The scattered soldiers and brave men became restless. Although they did not take down the power of a certain position of the Japanese army, touched the sentry, cut the telephone line, and attacked the command organs, they did everything, causing great trouble to the Japanese army. It was natural for Junroro Matsuura to blame his bad mood on the "hazard" of the Chinese army. "Ring, ring." The phone rang on the table. General Matsuura, who was working overtime for the "Emperor", picked up the phone receiver with a nervous mood. He was annoyed by the bad news this night, and this time it must have been that place that place was lost again.

A minute later, when the Lieutenant General put down the telephone receiver, his brows, which had been locked for a night, finally stretched a little. It turned out that the phone call was called by the commander of the Yi-3rd Regiment, which said that the Yi-3rd Regiment had defeated the Chinese army's attempt to retake Niuxing Station, and the Chinese army was driven out of Niuxing Station. As long as the Niuxing Station could be kept, even if he could throw a few other less important positions, it would not fundamentally affect the entire situation of the Chinese and Japanese troops in Nanchang. After hearing this good news, how could the lieutenant general's mood be better?

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Matsuura had just gone to bed for a while, and the gunshots from nearby immediately made the lieutenant general jump off the camp bed with no sleepiness.
