As the battle became more intense, Xue Yue's advancing troops began to gradually move closer to Ma'anshan and Jinjiashan.

However, these changes were not within the scope of consideration by Junrokuro Matsuura, commander of the Japanese 106th Division. His goal was to penetrate the defense line of Shahe Town, Jinjiashan, and Ma'anshan and open up the Nanxun Railway!

Thinking of this, Matsuura Junrokuro became very excited, as if tomorrow would be spring.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the frontline troops have almost captured Jinjiashan and Ma'anshan. Only Shahe Town is not progressing smoothly and is still in a fierce tug-of-war with the enemy." A Japanese combat staff officer ran to Matsuura.

Reported in front of Junrokuro.

"Don't worry, give Aoki Keiichi a little more time. I believe he is absolutely capable of taking over Shahe Town in a short time!" Junrokuro Matsuura said confidently. As an invader with ideals and pursuits,

In addition, he is an old subordinate of Shunroku Hata of the Central China Dispatch Army. These two points are enough for him to have the confidence to sweep everything.

"Hai!!" the combat staff member responded.

…

The front line was already a scorched earth, and the Japanese artillery fire was repeatedly hitting the top of Jinjiashan. There was thick smoke everywhere, and there were dead bodies everywhere, both from the National Army and the Japanese Army.

The next round of Japanese attacks is about to begin.

Groups of Japanese troops with white dog-skin plaster bandanas tied on their heads were ready. They could launch an attack at any time on Jinjiashan, which had almost been bombarded into a bare hill.

"Oh! Long live the Emperor!!"

One of the leading Japanese officers pulled out the samurai sword from his waist and shouted to the sky.

"Long live!! Long live!! Long live!!!"

Countless Japanese soldiers who were inspired by the Japanese officers were cheering, as if going to the front line was not a matter of death, but a very honorable thing for them.

"Oh! Attack!!!"

Under the shouts of Japanese military officers, the Japanese army began to attack.

Groups of Japanese troops with ferocious-looking 38 rifles armed with bayonets launched an attack on the remaining defenders guarding the top of Jinjiashan.

At this time, five kilometers away, a group of national troops wearing iron blue military uniforms appeared on the periphery.

"Quick, look at the map. How long does it take for us to reach Jinjiashan?" said a leading national army officer.

"Batalion Commander, if I guess correctly, the place where the gunfire is ringing is Jinjiashan." Another officer saluted the leading battalion commander, "According to the direction of our march, it is absolutely

There is no mistake. And now, around our troops, it is only possible to fight in the direction of Jinjiashan. Shahe Town is still some distance away from us."

"Okay, let's go take a look! You take the people first. After all, we are the advancing troops of the division. We can't lead our division off the direction." The battalion commander said very seriously.

"Yes! Sir!" the company commander stood at attention and saluted, his expression very serious.

…

On the top of Jinjiashan Mountain, as the Japanese army organized death squads to advance straight up, the National Army's shouts to kill became weaker and weaker. Half an hour later, Jinjiashan fell.

…

The national army headquarters two kilometers away.

"Hey! Pick up the Jinjiashan position for me!" shouted an officer who was also wearing an iron-blue military uniform. Looking at his military rank, there was only one gold star, so he was obviously a major general.

"Report to the brigade commander, there is no response from the Jinjiashan position!" A combat staff officer put down the phone and reported to the brigade commander.

"Damn it! Little Japan is so damn rampant! Immediately send a message to the division headquarters to ask where our troops are now! In addition, inform the division headquarters that the Jinjiashan position has fallen into the hands of the enemy.

If there are no more reinforcements, I will lead the guards from the brigade headquarters!" The angry brigade commander slapped the table, and even the table made a loud slap.

"Yes! Brigadier!" the combat staff officer responded.

…

Soon, this telegram was sent to the frontline headquarters behind Jinjiashan.

"Report to division commander, the 109th Brigade has an urgent telegram!" A communications soldier held up the latest telegram translation from the communications office.

"The 109th Brigade? Direction to Jinjiashan?" The division commander's first thought after receiving this telegram was that there was a problem in the direction of Jinjiashan. Fighting on two fronts was indeed very stressful.

"Yes!" the communications soldier responded, and then waited for the division commander's instructions.

After reading this telegram, the division commander couldn't help but change his face, and then he couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, little Japan is bullying people too much! Where are our reinforcements? Call the military headquarters immediately! At the same time, inform the military headquarters,

Jinjiashan has been lost!"

"Yes! Division commander!" the communications soldier responded.

…

Soon, this piece of information from the front line was submitted one level at a time, and it didn't take long to reach Xue Yue's First Corps headquarters.

Do you think Xue Yue doesn’t know where Jinjiashan is? Wrong. Not only does he know it, he also understands it in great detail. As a qualified and successful military commander, he clearly knows where Jinjiashan, Shahe Town and Ma’anshan are.

What does the frontline mean?

Once this place is lost, the national army will lose all external barriers, and the Japanese army will be able to attack Kou De'an County at any time!

Therefore, Xue Yue immediately called the frontline commanders. After arriving at the frontline, he immediately launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops who were robbing Jinjiashan and Ma'anshan, and retaken the position at all costs!

Commander Xue Yue's tough attitude was also directly conveyed to the frontline commanders via telegram.

In fact, before Xue Yue sent this telegram, his four reinforcement divisions had already arrived near Jinjiashan, Shahe Town, and Ma'anshan, and they were just short of launching an attack.

Therefore, under Xue Yue's order, troops from the four divisions of the Chinese Army immediately launched a very fierce counterattack against the Japanese 106th Division.

…

When the national army launched a fierce attack on the front line, Zhang Tianhai was not idle either.

What is Zhang Tianhai doing? Of course he is reorganizing his troops, and training the guard company, fifth battalion and other troops. As for the third battalion, he has also recruited more than a hundred people, but they are all mixed.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang Tianhai gave up the plan to directly recruit troops, and then threw these hundreds of people into the logistics camp, waiting for Zhu Shaohong, the division chief, to train them.

According to the promise given by Zhang Fakui, Commander-in-Chief of the Second Corps, the replenishment of the First Guard Regiment should arrive soon. However, due to the urgency and intensity of the fighting on the front line, it is not known how long it will take for this batch of supplies to arrive.

Of course, these supplies also include soldiers, firearms and ammunition, which were personally signed and approved by the theater commander Chen Cheng, so they come faster than other troops -

What's more important is that these weapons, ammunition and soldiers are all drawn from nearby.

Anyway, in Chief Chen's view, since the police regiment is a sharp blade, it should be sharpened. After the weakness in the waist of the Japanese army is exposed, it can then be stabbed hard and give the Japanese army a fatal blow.

As for the fact that the 1st Police Regiment is a sharp blade in the war zone, this is no longer a secret - let’s not talk about other things. With the combat power of the 1st Guards Regiment in the war zone and the ability of the regiment leader Zhang Tianhai to conquer and fight, it is said that

There is absolutely no problem if the work is a sharp blade.

For Zhang Tianhai, before the fighter planes appeared, he absolutely could not act rashly. All he could do now was to lead the troops well.
