Soon, the Japanese vanguard troops appeared outside Gutang Town.

However, according to Zhang Tianhai's instructions, unless it is a special situation, each unit shall not take the initiative to launch an attack on the Japanese army, especially the troops in Jimao Mountain and Zuoshankou.

In Zhang Tianhai's combat plan, the troops of Jimaoshan and Zuoshankou were both key points in this battle. If the position is exposed, they will face the dilemma of failure.

So, in this way, Ximumizuichiro led his troops to the outside of Gutang Town.

"Kun Changdao, I always feel something is wrong. Since we landed, these Chinese troops have been monitoring us all the way. If there is no reason to say, they will let us go straight in and directly outside Gutang Town." Ximumizu Ichiro became crazy, but he was still very cautious, such as at this critical moment.

Nagashima Mizuno was standing next to Himeji Mizuiro, and his expression was also very serious: "I think this is reasonable, I think it is reasonable."

"Why? Please tell me clearly." Xiji Mizuchiro asked in a deep voice.

"It may also be that the Chinese army is facing the dilemma of insufficient troops on the one hand, but also urgently wants to retake Jiujiang County to declare their strong combat effectiveness and boost morale to their citizens. In this case, it is reasonable." Nagashima Mizuto still had that very serious expression on his face. Well, it was a bit like the one that others owe him hundreds of thousands to him and refuse to pay it back.

"What Nagashima said makes sense. If this is the case, it would be very reasonable for them to send troops to harass our army." Mizuchiro Hiraki put down the telescope in his hand and hung it on his chest, with a very serious expression.

The hot breeze blew gently across their faces. They were not moved at all, nor did they complain about why this damn weather was so hot. The only target in their eyes was Gutang Town in front of them.

At this time, they were one kilometer away from Gutang Town. Because of security reasons, the Japanese army did not order the troops to launch a charge as soon as possible.

"Xi Mujun, then what do you want to do next!" asked Nagashima Minato.

"What else can I do? Attack for a while before talking about it!" Ximu Ichiro's face was full of solemnity, "Your department is responsible for the west part and our department is responsible for the east part. In short, no matter what, Gutang Town must be taken down within today, and tomorrow morning, the control of Jiujiang County must be restored!"

"Okay, then let's settle it!" Nagashima Minato nodded. The fierce face under the military cap was faintly visible. The pinch of brushed beards under his nose made him very consistent with the image of Japanese officers in later film and television dramas.

Art comes from life, but it is higher than life!

As the two captains of the 101st Regiment reached an agreement, more than 2,200 Japanese troops began to act and marched east and west respectively.

Don’t underestimate the Japanese army of these two brigades. This Japanese army has more than 1,100 people.

If Tanaka Yijun had not been arrogant and sent nearly half of his troops to serve as a warning point outside the city, I'm afraid that Jiujiang County would not have been so easy to recapture.

You know, the military quality of the headquarters of the 11th Army is not low at all. More than 1,100 people guarding four city gates is more than enough.

...

Outside the town, there was a solemn atmosphere, and inside the town, it was also not easy.

Gutang Town, a town that was destroyed in the first Jiujiang Battle, has been recaptured. It is also a pile of broken walls and remains, so it is not easy to keep them.

Don’t forget that in this town, there is only one unit of Yang Jiquan’s third battalion with more than 600 people, while outside the city, there are more than 2,000 Japanese troops with excellent weapons and extremely high military quality.

Perhaps in order to take care of the situation on all sides, Yang Jiquan specially set up the camp headquarters in the center of Gutang Town so that the information from all sides was not so difficult to convey.

Oh, the key is that there are certain advantages in terms of military reinforcements.

"Report to the battalion commander, it's bad. The Japanese began to act. Their troops were divided into two groups, one group heading south and one group heading east." A soldier ran in and reported to Yang Jiquan, the battalion commander of the third battalion.

"One batch to the east? One batch to the south?" Yang Jiquan murmured, and then he woke up immediately and continued: "Transfer my order, and all the troops will immediately enter the state of preparation for war! At the same time, I have kept a close eye on the movements of these two batches of Japanese devils!"

"Yes! Battalion Commander!!"

Not only the soldier just now, but also the command squad from the battalion headquarters.

Not bad, it’s just a command shift. No matter how rich the police force is, in terms of current wealth, it has not yet been able to achieve one phone in each shift.

In this case, the existence of the command class is reasonable.

With the dispatch of the command team, the entire third battalion immediately entered a state of preparation.

Since Gutang Town is not big and the town is already in ruins, the officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion of the First Police Regiment have plans and focus on arranging and allocating positions. There has not been a shortage of troops yet. Even the machine cannon company directly under the battalion headquarters is in a mobile state.

"Battery Commander, this battle is not easy to fight..." A battalion chief adviser next to him spoke.

"If it's not easy to fight, then we have to fight. Our troops are all heroes!" Yang Jiquan said in a deep voice. How could he not know that this battle is not easy to fight? But so what if it's not easy to fight? The regiment has already ordered it here.

From the beginning, Yang Jiquan vaguely guessed the importance of his position - from the position arranged by the artillery battalion, they were most likely to be bait, luring the main Japanese troops into Gutang Town, gathered and annihilated them.

If the location of the artillery battalion is not enough to judge, then the location of Li Chunfei's first battalion and Han Xingle's fourth battalion can be guessed? These two battalions are the hearts of the regiment, and the battalion commanders of these two battalions are the ones who have been with the regiment for the longest time.

The Jimao Mountain where the Second Battalion is located is indeed important, but it is far less important than the Zuoshankou where the Fourth Battalion is located. Moreover, the first battalion with the strongest combat effectiveness of the entire regiment is in a mobile state and can be engaged in battle at any time.

Yang Jiquan knew very well whether the main Japanese army would enter Gutang Town, it depends on the performance of their third battalion. If the third battalion was too strong, the Japanese army would not have entered to check the battle situation and the number of troops, and even directly set the pursuit target on their third battalion!

The most critical part of this battle lies in the Third Battalion. Yang Jiquan has decided that even if he pays the price of his life, he must cooperate with the troupe to sing this drama well.

Just because of faith, he wanted to tell these Japanese that Chinese soldiers would not stop resisting. As long as they did not leave China's territory for a day, someone would continue to attack them!

"Yes! Battalion Commander!" The battalion commander was shocked. It was the first time he saw the battalion commander have such a serious side. The battalion commander usually laughed and didn't seem to care about anything.

The staff officer of the battalion seemed to understand something. What if the battalion commander said, he was also a strong Chinese soldier. More importantly, he graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy!
