.The Japanese army's Sanada troops did not wait for the entire army to land, so they ignored the frequent harassment attacks launched by the 199th Regiment. Under the cover of fierce artillery fire from Japanese naval warships on the lake, they attacked with all their might.

At first, the 199th Regiment could still fight and go, and they took some tricks to consume the Japanese army's combat power in the movement. However, when Ma Siyuan's troops retreated less than one kilometer from the place where Wensong defeated the Nagano Regiment, Ma Siyuan, who knew that he could not retreat, had to bite the bullet and lead his troops to rely on the fortifications left by the 200th Regiment to be transferred to the frontal defense operations. The Japanese army was in full swing at this moment and immediately launched a full-scale attack on the position of the 199th Regiment. The combat effectiveness of the Sanada Detachment, composed of elite Japanese 9th Division, was not as good as the 101th Division. At the beginning of the battle, the 199th Regiment was under great pressure, and the frontier positions were in a row.

The position of the 8th Company of the 199th Regiment.

The original Eighth Company had all died in the Duchang battle. After retreating to Wucheng, Ma Siyuan immediately drew more than 20 veterans from other companies as backbones, and reorganized the company with the "civilians" added to the division as the main body. At present, this company is a member of the regiment reserve team and is on standby to attack.

Even as a reserve team, the position of the Eighth Company is still within the range of the Japanese naval guns. The large and small shells on the position are not much less than the front-line troops. The only thing that is easier than the front-line positions is that the Japanese infantry can not rush here for a while. But this does not mean that the situation here will be better. On the contrary, the situation where the companions on the alpine side are blown into pieces of meat by the enemy's powerful naval gun shells, and half of the enemy is not visible. It is even more tormenting than being bombarded while shooting against the enemy. Especially for the new recruits who have never fought a war, it is already an absolute ultimate test. The first time the recruits on the battlefield accounted for more than 80% of the eighth Company. The reason why there have not been any soldiers fleeing is because it has a competent company commander.

The white and fat company commander Chang Sixi from the Eighth Company was very experienced. He was a new recruit who joined the army in Xuchang. During the Xinyang Defense War, he was an ordinary recruit from the 199th Regiment. In the Battle of Liulin Town, he was one of the few recruits who did not escape. Later, he made contributions in the Battle of Nanchang Defense War and was promoted to platoon leader by the battlefield. From then on, he became an officer. Maybe he had just arrived from the new recruits, and he had a thorough understanding of the psychological state of the new recruits. His method of inspiring the morale of the new recruits was not profound. It was nothing more than letting the new recruits show their heads from time to time under the organization of veterans. He shot a shot or two in the distance. But this was a bit wasteful of ammunition. The local method was indeed good...at least it made the new recruits not that scared.

"Company Commander. The regiment headquarters ordered our headquarters to reinforce the third company's position." The "good" time in the Eighth Company did not last long. Soon, the company was directly pulled onto the line of fire.

"Run to the front left, you can't keep up with the ground, you deserve it!" Chang Sixi is not an exaggeration. The longer you stay in the artillery blockade area, the greater the possibility of being killed by shells. This is common military knowledge.

Under the coercion of the black muzzle in the hands of the squad leader, the recruits were driven out of the trenches like sheep. As long as they were driven out of the relatively safe trenches, most of the recruits chose to run to the third company's position as fast as possible in their lives. As for those soldiers who were frightened by the "magnificent scene" when the shells landed, they either turned back or flinched, the veterans behind the latter would come forward and kicked and urged, while the former would be treated as deserters. For deserters on the battlefield, the Eastern army had only one punishment, and shot them on the spot! The battlefield was never a place where human rights were concerned.

"The whole team! After each squad reports, organize queuing and shooting according to the squad." Chang Sixi shouted loudly with the twenty-shot shell gun that opened the nose of the machine.

The third company and the eighth company's position were only four hundred meters apart, so they had to run for a few minutes without hesitation. As soon as they entered the trenches of the third company, Chang Sixi immediately counted the number of people. The result was not bad, and only a dozen people were lost. The Japanese army came up very quickly, and the soldiers of the eighth company who had just completed the team had not had time to take a breath. About two squadrons of Japanese soldiers had rushed to a place less than a hundred meters away from their current position.

At this time, we can see the necessity of the preparations that Chang Sixi had just made. The new recruits of the Eighth Company may be able to pass the results on the shooting range, but it was the first time to confront the Japanese army head-on, and the new recruits would inevitably be nervous. When they get nervous, there is no question of accuracy when shooting. Although the volleyball shooting technique is destined to suffer some losses in comparison of casualties, it is indeed much better than letting the new recruits set off aimlessly in killing the enemy. The combat ability and individual quality of this group of Japanese soldiers are very strong. When charging towards the Chinese military positions, they rely on aiming and aiming, and can actually suppress the two companies of the 199th Regiment, which have positions to rely on, and force the defenders to launch a counterattack in advance without hesitation.

"Kill!" Chang Sixi did not take the lead in breaking out of the trenches like he was when he was a platoon leader in the past. The first thing he did with his elder brothers in the face of hand-to-hand combat was to drive his new recruits to the Japanese "tiger" first... The courage of the new recruits was far inferior to that of the Japanese army who used living people to train their courage. However, when their lives were seriously threatened, some new recruits performed their best and only learned the skills they had learned soon. Or simply, driven by instinct, they used all the methods they knew to kill each other.

The veterans of the Eighth Company immediately entered the hand-to-hand combat with a "snake-moving" attitude.

Chang Sixi's thorn-fighting action is very strange. A 38-shaped cover under his hands can play many different tricks. In addition to stabbing, picking, and plucking, it can also entangle, chop and scratch. The latter are routines Chang Sixi, who has practiced martial arts for several years, made by himself with some gadgets installed on the rifle.

"Kill" Chang Sixi was dodging and letting a Japanese man stand up to kill him, his hand sank down. The sharp hook he had inserted into his gun quickly passed through the other party's chest. This was the third Japanese man that Chang Sixi had today. But there were more and more Japanese men around him.

Seeing that the two companies of the defending army were in danger of being wiped out, Ma Siyuan, who was in charge of the regiment headquarters, could not stand by and watch. Soon, the last mobile force in the 199th Regiment, the guards of the regiment headquarters rushed up. With this strong firepower, the remaining troops of the 3rd and 8th Company barely retreated back to the position of the 8th Company.

"Company Commander, there are still 67 people in the entire company." When the deputy company commander reported to Chang Sixi the remaining troops in the entire company, low and moving wails came from the position of the third company. Chang Sixi's face was trembling constantly. He knew that it was the Japanese army who were experiencing a great beast. He was killing one by one with bayonets, and his comrades who were seriously injured and unable to withdraw.

The loss of the position of the third company caused the Japanese army to open a hole in the left wing of the defense line of the 199th Regiment. There was no reserve available, Ma Siyuan could only ask for reinforcements from the division headquarters. In order not to affect the plan of the three-sided attack, he bought time for the two and a half regiments of troops on both sides who were organizing troops. Cheng Jiaji decided to personally lead the division's guard battalion and the secret battalion reinforced Ma Siyuan.

The 199th Regiment Headquarters.

"Let's fight back on the position of the original third company immediately. Even if it can't be taken down, the Japanese will drag the Japanese there. The Japanese chariots in the central direction must be defeated by me." Cheng Jiaji did not just say empty words, but he pulled up all the seven war defense artillery artillery companies of the only two combat defense artillery companies in the division.

After Cheng Jiaji took over the command of Ma Siyuan and became the front commander of this crucial blocking battle, less than half an hour later, the most elite battalion of the New One Hundred Division. The division's guard battalion launched a fierce and abnormal attack on the original third company position that had fallen into the hands of the Japanese army.

Major General Sanada, who had also arrived in front, found that the combat style of the Chinese army was extraordinary. It was completely different from the human-sea tactics adopted by most Chinese troops during attacks. The three of them were in a group, spreading in a form of a pin character. Riding the Japanese artillery fire, the main strike method was to use uninterrupted fan-shaped strafing. Under the precise escort of the Chinese army's mortars, they calmly rushed towards the position that the Japanese army had just obtained. Major General Sanada had never seen such a "luxury" Chinese army.

"Yo Xi! This should be the elite unit of the New 100th Division! Contact the Navy and let them turn the focus of the shelling to the right. From the troops that had just arrived, two squadrons were drawn to reinforce the right position. At the same time, they ordered the Matsuda Brigade in the center of the front to attack with all their might and eat up Cheng Jiaji's elite troops!" Major General Sanada suffered a great loss from the Chinese in Nanchang City. The fire that Cheng Jiaji almost buried him in the fire.

The fire today is still a nightmare among the surviving officers and major generals of the 9th Division. So many squadrons like to minimize the lights when camping at night, so as not to stimulate the veterans and recall the situation of the Nanchang fire. That's it. After waking up from their dreams in the middle of the night, they shouted words related to the fire, and the soldiers running around in the military camp were inevitable, becoming a unique "scenery" in the Ninth Division.

In the minds of all the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Division who participated in the Nanchang Battle, the New One Hundred Division is equated with the enemy of dying enemies. "Eliminating" the New One Hundred Division to avenge Nanchang's one arrow is the unanimous "wish" of the officials and assistants of the Ninth Division. This is also one of the reasons why the Sanada Detachment was so proactive after it landed today.

"The division seats, the Japanese in the central direction show signs of mobilization." The Japanese army marched in the blue sky and white sun were soon discovered by the observation post of the 199th Regiment, which was selected well.

"Press the secret service battalion to the left and use the walkie-talkie to notify Ma Sanbao to prepare for sending troops to attack him." The enemy changed, and we also changed. Since the Japanese wanted to take care of the guard battalion's dumplings, Cheng Jiaji didn't mind making the scene even more chaotic.

The melee that happened later disappointed Major General Sanada. First, the guard battalion, which seemed to have been a group of Japanese defenders on the position, suddenly turned around and hit the waist of Matsuda brigade with one force. Then the special agent battalion launched a rapid attack, which made it worse for Matsuda brigade, which was already in a bad situation. If it were to start a military force, the nearly 1,000 Matsuda brigade had a certain advantage compared to the Chinese army that attacked them. However, the firepower of the infantry on both sides was too far away. After twenty minutes of fierce fighting, Matsuda's troops seemed to be in disguise. Although in the end, the reinforcements sent by the Japanese army to the position of the original third company repelled the attack of the guard battalion, and the unlucky Matsuda brigade also retreated to the original starting position. However, this result was obviously not of the same level as Major General Sanada's prediction.

This battle, which seemed to be the Japanese to prevail, was the greatest significance of the New One Hundred Division. When Major General Sanada was about to launch another attack, the troops commanded by Wen Songyuan and Liu Yicheng attacked Sanada's troops from both sides of the Japanese army, and the Chinese army also moved into a counterattack.

This big offensive launched by Cheng Jiaji, which was very powerful on the surface, was actually a feint attack to divert the attention of the Japanese army from the front. Although Sanada was supported by the fleet behind him, he was not completely weak. At least due to the limitations of the waterline of the ship, it was impossible for the Japanese warships to turn around at will. From the perspective of shooting, there were many dead corners. Faced with the surging counterattack of the Chinese army, which was twice as powerful as the original side, Sanada had to deploy troops on both wings to defend, and the front was still maintaining an offensive posture. But at this moment, Cheng Jiaji, who had another ace in his hand, no longer cared about the front attack of the Japanese army. With the fire support of the military howitzer battalion that had just arrived, the provocative Japanese army was beaten hard for a round. If it weren't for fear of revenge of the Japanese naval guns and the howitzer battalion was dispersed, the results would have been greater.

Sanada, who felt that his troops were insufficient and it was difficult to expand the results of the battle, ordered the entire army to move onto the defensive and waited for the 2,000 soldiers who were still on the ship to get off the ship. At the same time, he sent 100,000 urgent telegrams to Wuhan and Wucheng City.

In the telegram to Lieutenant General Kaangmura, Major General Sanada strongly asked the commander of the 11th Army to have one or two regiments of troops. The wording of the telegram sent to Lieutenant General Saito was not so polite. Between the lines of the telegram, Major General Sanada ignored the superiority and inferiority of the superiors and inferiority, and was secretly complaining that Lieutenant General Saito was defeated at one touch, and then watched the fire from the other side of the river, dragging his back. In a word, the telegram was intended to urge Saito to send troops to cooperate as soon as possible.
