The tragic battle of Yong'an Temple is just a corner of the battlefield. Besides the fierce attacks of the Japanese army in front and behind, Yingpan Mountain and Wujiawan in the east of Wuchang; Xujiapeng and Qingshizui, located in the north of Wuchang. Of course, the situation of these positions is not the same as that of Yong'an Temple, which is too prominent, and more or less they will still get some support from the city. However, the Japanese army was limited to the terrain of Wuchang with many lakes on the east and west sides of Wuchang, and could not spread wide and face wide. They could only attack a few points of objective existence, but invisibly increased the pressure on the outside positions of the Chinese army. So until the next day, Foxiapeng and Qingshizui were still stable, Xujiapeng and Qingshizui had changed hands several times. As for the defense of the New 166th Division and the reinforcement of one and a half battalions in Wujiawan, they died for their country.

In Wuchang City, Snake Mountain is bathed in the brilliant sunshine.

Sheshan was called Huanghu Mountain in ancient times. This city divided Wuchang City at this time into the foothills of two and a half cities in the south and small north, with a total length of only two kilometers. However, it was a military fortress as early as the Three Kingdoms period. Xiakou City was built on this mountain in the second year of Huangwu in the Eastern Wu (223 AD). Later, Taikang, the Western Jin Dynasty (280 AD) established a county here. After that, the various dynasties also operated here. It can be seen how obvious the role of Sheshan in the barrier against Wuchang, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

Speaking of which, the reason why the Japanese army lost Wuchang so quickly the last time was that although there was a sudden incident and the rain from the sky, it was also very related to the fact that it did not set up a solid support point in Sheshan. The lessons of the past are the next generation, so why not go back. However, this mistake is near before us, and Cheng Jiaji will not repeat the same mistake. Since he decided to fight a tough battle in Wuchang, he let his basic troops, the New 100 Division, enter Sheshan, and also mount the only howitzer regiment of the entire army, on both sides of the main peak of this mountain.

"Wen Lao Er, Chi Luli's horns are really hard. It's just that the bulls were on the periphery. I pushed my two regiments...www.piaotian.com.com. It seems that we want nearly 100,000 on both sides of the river (more than 20,000 in Hanyang, and more than 60,000 out of the 80,000 to 90,000 people in the Chi Luli Corps, to attack Wuchang.) The Japanese army was at the moment of rescuing the siege. It would be impossible not to spend money!" Cheng Jiaji sighed first.

Ju, just now, he reminded Wen Songyuan earnestly: "You say this is the core position, but as long as the Japanese assault corps force up, the Japanese on the other side will shell the guns across the river on Guishan Mountain, and all the entire Snake Mountain will be exposed to the guns. Therefore, you must pay special attention to anti-aircraft artillery and air defense. As long as you firmly defend the commanding heights of the whole city, the Japanese will rush into the city. With these dozens of howitzers fired. I can't stand it even if I measure him!"

The extremely severe situation made Zhang Yang, who is as good as Wen Songyuan, dared not take over this time. After nodding heavily, he asked again: "Boss Cheng, Lao Qian and the others have no news yet?"

"Not yet! Since yesterday evening, the radio station has never been turned on again!" Perhaps he felt that his tone was too depressed. Cheng Jiaji immediately continued, "Put your heart back on your stomach! The Sama Division had already let us fight for the 10th Army heading north, and Lao Qian couldn't get much money from the land. According to my estimate, in order not to allow the Japanese to use electronic listening technology to find out the lurking location of the troops, Lao Qian must have been silent radio, and he should be right next to Puqi." Although Cheng Jiaji's explanation was somewhat comforting, it was reasonable.

"It's good that Lao Qian didn't encounter any trouble! Fuck him! The most annoying thing is that the six armies that came down from the upstream. More than 200,000 of them were actually in Qianjiang and Mianyang. The Han River blocked the Han River. You know, the enemy troops in front of them were less than 50,000, and more than 30% of them were two Japanese soldiers. Even the Japanese army had a considerable number of local garrisons without heavy weapons, and a small group of guerrilla soldiers. I can't figure out whether these guys are soldiers or groups of tiny girls!" Thinking of Wen Songyuan who was out of the way, he cursed happily, but Cheng Jiaji was frowning.

Of course, Cheng Jiaji knew the mystery in this, but if he really wanted to make it clear, it would not only help but also hurt morale. When the enemy is facing, he will not be able to boost his energy and never let it go!

In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly. The 18th Army, which had been injured in the Shipai Battle, stayed in Xiling Gorge and did not advance eastward. Among the six armies that are advancing eastward, only one is the last-rate troops of Minister Chen, whose combat effectiveness may not be stronger than the new 27th Army that has been replaced in a few months after the comprehensive rectification; the other two are from the Sichuan Army system, and they can hold on with their passion to fight for a while, but the artillery is pitifully few, and even if they are willing, they are unable to break through the defense line of the Japanese and puppet troops.

!The other two are Minister He's direct troops, and they let them work hard to save Cheng Jiaji, who repeatedly offended Minister He's power. It's possible! The remaining 74th Army is accustomed to fighting and has always been active in combat. Unfortunately, it was a hot-headed person when sending troops. However, when the Supreme Government was worried about gains and losses, he was designated as the rear guard of the army and specialized in defense of the Japanese army in Yichang, which may have attacked. In short, although there are many troops in the Sixth War Zone, it is difficult for the Forty-Eighth Army to count on them.

In contrast, the Ninth War Zone, which is in charge of the Civil Engineering System, is more reliable. At least the 10th Army, which came to assist in the early stage, really wanted to solve the danger of Wuchang. Otherwise, it would not have been killed or killed in only three days south of Puqi. Moreover, the 100th Army, which is about to enter Hubei from Hunan, is not a weak brigade. The latter has the same meaning as the New 20th Army. Now it is the turn to be serious. It is not even worse than the 10th Army, which is neither relative nor old, nor good!

After that, Wen Songyuan, Cheng Jiaji, who was worried or unhappy, did not speak any more. The two brothers walked along the way, and walked from the top of the snake mountain to Baobing Hall located on the south side of the mountain.

The Baobing Hall was built in the 33rd year of the Guangxu period (1907). It was a monumental building that Zhang Zhidong, the leader of the Westernization faction of the late Qing Dynasty who served as the governor of Huguang for more than 20 years, was ordered to be the Minister of Military Affairs of the Westernization Sect of the late Qing Dynasty, and was respected by his disciples and subordinates in Hubei. The second dictionary of Baobing was derived from the sentence "Wu Yue Chunqiu" "I always hug the ice in winter and hold the fire in summer." It was originally a self-motivation. Zhang Zhidong's self-proclaimed name in his later years was the old man Baobing. The division headquarters of the New One Hundred Division, which was still the commander of Wen Songyuan, was set up here.

Before Cheng Jiaji could be waited for Cheng Jiaji, Wen Songyuan walked into the hall, and a storm-like sound of gunfire came to their ears. The two of them immediately changed their expressions! Nowadays, Wuchang is at the beginning of the war, and no movement is unusual, but the problem is that the location of the gunfire is the west of the Baobing Hall. This means that Yokoyama Yong not only took action, but also judging from the point of shooting at the gunfire, the Japanese were not only bombarded, but actually landed directly on the beach!

The situation quickly became clear. A Japanese army formerly stationed in Hanyang landed on the east coast under the cover of the firepower of Japanese gunboats on the river and engaged in a fire with the new Second Regiment (the troops of Yu Juncai) defending the former Hanyang Gate former site.

After asking clearly that the Japanese army had only a thousand troops ashore, Cheng Jiaji's reaction surprised everyone present. Not to mention that heavy troops were coming to support, he did not even send the minimum artillery support to Hanyang Gate.

"Boss Cheng, can a new second regiment be defended by just a new second regiment?" Facing Wen Songyuan's open suspicion and the officers' eyes full of confusion, Cheng Jiaji replied calmly: "Yongshan Yong was willing to throw a brigade into the wolf's mouth, but he wanted to lure our army's reserve team and artillery cluster to get a glimpse of the reality. He wanted me to move, but I just didn't move. Besides, Yu Bensan was still very good at leading troops to fight. There were so many officers under his command who had been helped by the battle formation, so the new second regiment was not so easy to collapse."

Cheng Jiaji's judgment was undoubtedly correct. He only slugged weakly for two hours, and the Japanese troops who came across the river retreated on their own. However, this was just the beginning.

In fact, just as Cheng Jiaji was standing at the top of the snake mountain and was worried about the sharp attack momentum of Chi Luli's troops, the commander of the Japanese Assault Corps outside the prefecture city was also thinking about Cheng Jiaji, a Chinese war ghost who had been thinking about for a while, but had always passed by before!

By the heart, Lieutenant General Chiluri, who seemed to be majestic, did not have a good life. Although the encirclement of Wuchang has been completed, from a macro perspective, his corps is also in the arms of hundreds of thousands of troops in China's sixth and ninth war zones. Now it is not comparable to the first two years of the Sino-Japanese War. In recent years, the Japanese army is afraid of suffering a series of crushing defeats, which has long proved that the Chinese army has had the ability to severely damage and even annihilate the heavy army groups of the Japanese army. Chiluri has a full understanding of this. It is also under the stimulation of this sense of crisis that the Japanese army returning to the east attacked Wuchang so urgently and so fiercely. It can be used to mobilize the army all night.

The result of the battle was that the lives of thousands of Japanese soldiers below high-ranking major generals were exchanged for the two outposts defended by Chinese battalion-level troops, Yong'an Temple and Wujiawan. Akari and his chief of staff, Colonel Nakano, had calculated specifically that if they were to follow the current conventional fighting method of fighting point by point, they would have to pay at least 20,000 to 30,000 people. Just the time span of the week, the assault corps of the Chinese army with six armies on their backs would never be afforded. So, a combat plan to try to assault the surprise attack to disrupt the Chinese defenders' legacy in order to greatly shorten the time for the Japanese to capture Wuchang was quietly born!

This just fits the saying, war is always interactive!
