Chapter 38: Blood and Fire Cage City (8)
.Yongshou Lane west of Nanchang City.
Yongshou Lane is an inconspicuous alley in Nanchang City. There are hundreds of alleys like this in Nanchang City. The original dozen families in Yongshou Lane, except for a two-story tavern, were half-open prostitutes. Before the war, the residents in this alley had long been "escorted" by the army to southern Gannan with the people of the city. Nowadays, some uninvited guests came to the wine cellar of the tavern at one end of the alley. Mapi and his group were hiding here.
"It's so dangerous today. Who would have thought that there were only the inconspicuous broken yard, with 200 Japanese people inside. If we hadn't flashed fast enough, we would have been trapped inside." The appearance of the steamed bun looked quite like a serious cold-blooded killer. Only those who knew him knew that this guy was talking a lot of nonsense and a complete nagging bug.
"Okay, Mantou, take a few brothers out to see if there are any Japanese to follow." In the battle not long ago, Ma Piyou was shot in the left arm. He just wrapped it with a torn sleeve at that time. At that time, he asked Mantou to take people to Feng, while bandaging himself in detail. If the wound is infected, it will not be a joke.
"Battery Commander, I have counted the number of people. Apart from the serious injuries, we still have fifty-seven brothers who can fight."
Zao Zhongping was so lucky on the battlefield that it was jealous. In the battle just now, few brothers were not on their bodies. Although the deputy battalion commander charged forward from beginning to end and retreated from behind, he did not even hurt a single hair.
"In that battle just now, we probably bumped into the Japanese corps headquarters, otherwise we would not have lost thirty or forty brothers. We will be here tonight. We will spend one night and find another nest before dawn." Mapi guessed right and wrong. After half an hour, they were attacked by the Japanese logistics agency. It was not the unit, but the command of the 18th Brigade of the Japanese Army.
It is said that Major General Jing's time was also in trouble. He risked being criticized by his colleagues in the army and disguised the appearance of the brigade headquarters as a general agency, in order to avoid premeditated attacks by the Chinese army, so as not to affect the brigade's normal command of subordinate troops.
But the mistake was because of pretending to be too eloquent, but it was mistakenly believed that this place was a military warehouse and nearly 100 people stabbed the whole group hard. Although the small army of Mapi was seriously injured, the Major General was even more crying. Even if the command organ had guards, fighting with the opponent's combat troops was definitely an indebted thing. In just one battle, three officers from the 18th Brigade were killed and two seriously injured. www.piaotian.com.com suddenly reduced so many intermediate officers, causing the command system of the 18th Brigade to almost stop.
This is not the most troublesome thing. What makes Major General Jinghu the most headache is that according to the 11th Army Command, the command locations of each unit should be immediately transferred once the location of the command centers is exposed. The brigade headquarters of the 18th Brigade must hold a major move.
Mapi also wanted to discuss with Sae Zhongping. What to do next, Mantou rushed in in a panic and shouted, "Brother, something happened. The whole street outside was full of Japanese, and there were thousands of people!"
At about one o'clock in the morning, it was three or four miles away from Yongshou Lane near Zhangjiangmen.
Under the moonlight, teams of Chinese military infantry launched combat formations and advanced rapidly from south to north.
For several months, Wen Songyuan, who had not smelled the unique "scent" of gunpowder on the battlefield. At this moment, he was sitting at the door of an empty grocery store for a family to go to the store. While he was drinking Li Du's sorghum wine in his hand, he watched thousands of his subordinates rush towards the Japanese army.
Wen Songyuan had a great alcohol tolerance and was cheerful. He had just passed by most of the regiment and had a large marching kettle. He had almost solved the problem by himself. You should know that the degree of this kind of local wine in Nanchang is really not low, and ordinary people really can't drink much.
"Man, your troops are all in front. Why are you running back?" Wen Songyuan was about to get up under the escort of more than a dozen guards beside him and look forward to the front. Han Dongsheng, the commander of the 200th regiment, took a few Wen Songyuan, and looked back at the familiar people and turned around to find him.
A man behind Han Dongsheng walked to Wen Songyuan and said, "Horseman, I am the horse skin from the Second Independent Camp!" Wen Songyuan, who had drunk five or six minutes, also recognized that this man in plain clothes was the horse skin he had promoted.
"Let the troops in front stop advancing, withdraw, and invite Deputy Brigade Commander Ma to me, hurry!" After listening to Ma Pi's concise report, Wen Songyuan immediately lost all his drunkenness.
Ma Siyuan soon rushed to the front of the grocery store.
"Ma Ju, I just got a situation where there were two or three thousand Japanese devils, which were probably a united unit, and were deployed in defense two or three miles in front. It seems that the masters and the Japanese were targeting each other this time. Tell me, what should we do now?"
Wen Songyuan did not feel any depression due to the sudden change in the enemy situation. There was a strong excitement in his passionate tone that he was about to fight against a strong enemy.
I had long seen Ma Siyuan, who was standing next to Wen Songyuan. Without questioning the reliability of the news Wen Songyuan said, I directly expressed my own opinion.
"Brigate, I think if we should let the troops move into the defense first and send a message to the division headquarters for instructions."
Ma Siyuan's suggestions are justified and objectively speaking, the response measures he mentioned are undoubtedly the method most officers will adopt under the current circumstances.
But even Ma Siyuan himself did not think that Wen Songyuan, a guy who never acted according to the rules, could adopt his own suggestions. His original intention of saying this was nothing more than doing his duty.
After spending a year with Wen Songyuan, although the two had a good personal relationship, Ma Siyuan still could not agree with Wen Songyuan's inertial thinking that was too aggressive.
"Wait for the order! I have never done that since I joined the army. Mama, man, look, our current location is here. I mean, the 199th Regiment, which left the foal, monitored the Japanese in front of him. I brought the 200th Regiment of the man. I gave the Japanese a fierce response from left to right. Do you have anything to say?" Wen Songyuan drew the map with his finger and said to the two generals under him.
Wen Songyuan used the 199th Regiment to watch the Japanese army in front of him, and used the 200th Regiment to dig out the Japanese's hearts to divide the labor. In fact, the two regiments of the Independent 100 Brigade were indeed good at defending and the other was good at attacking. After all, the combat styles of these two troops were brought out by the two old regiment commanders Yu Juncai and Wen Songyuan.
Han and the other two will have no objection to this arrangement of playing to play their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses.
"Then let's take action! Mama, I only bring one reinforcement company from the brigade department, and the other people will leave it to you. As soon as we set off, you will quickly add a telegram to Boss Cheng. I guess the Japanese will not just stop us along the way. Most of the old Xing will encounter obstacles." When he said the most words, Wen Songyuan had already taken Han Dongsheng, Ma Pi and others to the 200th Regiment Army.
In an instant, the grocery store that was still crowded just now was Ma Siyuan with a wry smile on his face.
The Independent 200 Regiment has always been the absolute main force of Cheng Jiaji, a small and systematic approach. In terms of number of people, equipment, and the quality of soldiers, this regiment is well-deservedly the boss of the four infantrymen of the Independent 100 Division. Especially in terms of attack power, the 200 Regiment is known as the first regiment of the entire 18th Army.
The troops led by Wen Songyuan were familiar with the road and fought with the Japanese for two days, and soon became angry with the 18th Brigade. Not only did they get angry, but the 200th regiment took action, they stabbed the 18th Brigade directly on the weakness of the 18th Brigade.
The brigade headquarters of the 18th Brigade has moved, but all the logistics agencies in the area where the 18th Brigade were originally located can't be moved away all at once! Well, a whole regiment, more than 2,000 people equipped with a large number of automatic firearms for street fighting, and packed up the Japanese oil depots, field hospitals, and artillery positions. It was not just a handful of pinching. In short, the heavy punch Wen Songyuan made towards Hengli, let alone, but he really responded to the old saying, and punched Jing Shuxuan to kill the master. Jing Shuxuan, this old Japanese devil was not beaten to death, but it also made the 200th regiment make a fortune for a long time without resting. The reason why Wen Songyuan made a big fuss in the Tiangong in the belly of the 18th Brigade with his troops was also mainly to support the two infantry regiments of the 18th Brigade to fight Bai Xianhao on the line of fire at this time, and at that time, the blessing of fighting fiercely with Bai Xianhao at the center of the Central Plains.
In Lieutenant General Jizu's wishful thinking, the 18th Brigade was a very important part. After being disturbed by Wen Songyuan, everything that Jizu arranged was well-organized was in chaos.
When the 18th Brigade "driven" away the 200th Regiment with the help of Xiaoqiu Detachment, which had four infantry brigades, the Japanese army had lost the best opportunity to defeat the Independent 100th Division.
"Order Wen Songyuan to entangle the Japanese army, and be sure not to give the opponent the opportunity to join the central battle group. Order Xing Yusheng's troops to sweep left on the spot, telling Xing Yusheng to concentrate all his troops and fight forward, not to care about how many enemy troops there are behind, and to attack the positions of the 18th Brigade from behind." The news came in time, and Cheng Jiaji's reaction was also very fast. After learning that his actions tonight were discovered by the Japanese army, Cheng Jiaji realized at the first time that the opportunity had been lost. If he continued to fight according to the scheduled plan, the Independent 100 Division and the Chinese army on the North Bank might not be able to escape the fate of collapse. At present, there was only a turning point in the water.
"The New 144 Brigade, the division's direct troops and other scattered troops assigned to our headquarters by the military headquarters, extended the marching route of the 100 Independent Brigade, and then captured the Japanese army that was fighting fiercely with the 100 Independent Brigade to disrupt the Japanese army's position." Qian Shen, the demon king of the world, thought it was not messy enough, so he added fire to him.
The New 144th Brigade is the unit of the New 72nd Division. In order to strengthen the strength of the third tier troops, Lieutenant General Huang transferred this full brigade to Cheng Jiaji, and his intentions were good. Cheng Jiaji also specially brought him by his side. On the one hand, only Cheng Jiaji, a famous general of the Anti-Japanese War, could only command the brigade of the Central Army, which had never looked down on the local troops; on the other hand, it would be better to have a general preparation.
"As soon as the Chief of Staff said, I would like to inform Commander Bai of this combat plan and ask the brigade commander to cooperate closely." Cheng Jiaji agreed with Qian Shen's opinion without thinking. At this critical moment, he could only play all the cards in his hand.
Cheng Jiaji launched more than two brigades of troops inside and outside Nanchang City at the same time, and suddenly a big interweaving came. This move caused the entire Nanchang and its suburbs to fall into a big melee. The situation was too chaotic, with encirclement and encirclement everywhere, and tens of thousands of troops from both China and Japan became a mess in the dark.
The 9th Division of the Japanese Army.
"His division commander, the Chinese army used no less than one brigade's troops to encircle the side of the Seventh Regiment of the Sixth Brigade on the right wing, which was fighting fiercely with the enemy. In addition, the Chinese army of a brigade on the left side of our front line, looked at the 35th Regiment of the Sixth Brigade and rushed to the defense line of the Eighteenth Brigade. The Chinese army on the front also attacked the positions of the Eighteenth Brigade." Sama said that he was almost confused, and Lieutenant General Yoshizuru was confused when he heard it.
"I ordered the 18th Brigade to guard the Xiaoqiu Detachment on the spot and not take a step back before dawn. I don't believe that the Chinese army has the ability to eat up ten of my brigades."
"Order the Seventh Regiment to move closer to the Eighteenth Regiment."
"The direct team of the division immediately retreated to Lehua under the protection of the chariot troops." (Heart-breaking tactics must be prevented.)
"Order the 35th Regiment to withdraw from the current battle, go straight to the Ganjiang River, join forces with the previous interspers, and first seal the life gate of Ganjiang River, Nanchang."
Lieutenant General Jizhu is worthy of being an experienced military genius. He was not led by Cheng Jiaji, and he threw all the troops in his hands into a destined to be unable to achieve any result. He went to a night melee, but adopted the tactic of "You fight yours and I fight me". While protecting the position in front of him, he sent the 35th Regiment, the only force that the Japanese army can move, drink horses and horses in the Ganjiang River, in order to completely turn the Chinese army on the north bank of the Ganjiang River into an isolated army trapped in the lonely city.
The Chinese and Japanese armies fought until early in the morning, and the front lines of both sides were basically stabilized.
On that night, the Japanese army's front-facing defense troops were unable to fully defend their positions. The Chinese army not only occupied 80% of the Nanchang urban area on the north bank of the Ganjiang River, but also controlled the suburbs of Nanchang, which were not less than the city's controlled area. However, after continuous mobilization, the Japanese army surrounded the controlled area of the Chinese army and was incomplete.
From this moment on, most of Nanchang became a truly lonely city.
