Chapter 1417 Attack setback
When the Japanese army launched a strong attack on the 28th Regiment, Zhang Yuequn, the commander of the 29th Regiment, led by the liaison officer of the division's political department to the headquarters of the 10th Division.
Yang Zhenghua, acting director of the division’s political department, immediately greeted him, nodded at Zhang Yuequn, who looked panicked and said, “Captain Zhang, you are here!”
"Director Yang!"
Zhang Yuequn nodded at Yang Zhenghua and said with shame: "Our group did not fight well in this battle. I am here to apologize to the master!"
Zhang Yuequn was really panicked at this time, really afraid of being caught.
Not only because the division commander Fang Xianjue had long ordered that all units must fight to the death in this battle, but also because last night Xue Boling sent a Shiwu Zhong telegram. The stern wording and the seriousness of military law were beyond anything in the past, full of heart-wrenching cold and stern killing.
But it must be said that the officers and soldiers of the 29th Regiment really tried their best in the battle just now.
With the enemy with a large number of people and we are few, facing the fierce Japanese soldiers head-on attack, it is already the limit for them to be able to block the Japanese for three hours.
"Then you wait first, I'll go to see the Master's Seat now. Captain Zhang, don't worry, the Master's Seat has always been clear about rewards and punishments, and he has a sense of responsibility in his heart!"
Yang Zhenghua naturally knew that the 29th Regiment had tried his best, but it was a special period and some things were incomprehensible!
Because the result is the bottom line, the reason for failure is not important at all.
As a result, Yang Zhenghua really worried about Zhang Yuequn and planned to see Fang Jue first and say good things to Zhang Yuequn so that he could "make meritorious service" after he could "do his guilt."
"Thank you, Director Yang!"
After hearing what Yang Zhenghua meant, Zhang Yuequn nodded gratefully.
"Um."
Soon, Yang Zhenghua met Fang Juexian who was looking at the map in the command room and said in a very anxious tone: "The Japanese came too fast and too fierce, and with the airplane and cannon fire, the 29th Regiment may be difficult to withstand!"
"Yes, the phone line of the 29th regiment is broken now, I guess it's a lot of danger."
Fang Juexian sighed deeply. He was not Zhao Kuo, who was talking about war on paper, so he would not know the situation on the front line.
As an old partner, Yang Zhenghua clearly heard that Fang Juexian did not blame Zhang Yuequn too much, and immediately continued: "The position of the 29th Regiment has been broken through by the Japanese invaders. Regiment Commander Zhang has arrived at the division headquarters. He said that he has not completed the task and has come to request punishment."
"Then tell him to rest at the adjutant. When I have time, I will see him again!"
Fang Juexian raised his eyebrows, and was not surprised by the news. He immediately picked up the phone on the desk and asked for a call from Ge Xiancai, the leader of the 28th regiment.
As soon as the phone was connected, Fang Juexian shouted loudly: "Captain Ge, the position of the 29th Regiment has been broken through by the Japanese. It will be your turn soon.
You immediately send someone to take over the remaining troops of the 29th Regiment, and they are all under your command. Your regiment has a heavy task, and I will fully support you. You must withstand it and fight hard!"
On the other end of the phone, Ge Xiancai replied strongly: "Please rest assured, our 28th place will never be embarrassed, and we will not be embarrassed in front of Chief Xue!"
"Okay! OK! You can command the battle with peace of mind. Call me immediately if you have any questions!"
Fang Juexian did not give much advice. As soon as Ge Xiancai, who graduated from the fourth session of the Whampoa Military Academy, participated in the Northern Expedition, was a brave and good at fighting tiger general, so naturally he didn't need to be a heavy hammer.
In addition, Fang Juexian had already heard the dense sound of gunfire and shouting for killing on the phone, and the battle had already begun!
"Brothers beat me hard, the teacher was watching us from behind, and Chief Xue was also watching us from Yuelu Mountain! We must make it difficult for these damn invaders to move forward!"
After hanging up the phone, Ge Xiancai personally went to the front line to command the battle and launched a fierce battle of life and death with the Japanese troops rushing towards him.
The officers and soldiers of the 28th Regiment gave the Japanese invaders a head-on blow, and the powerful cross-fire network continued to harvest the Japanese heads.
Because the Japanese army was severely blocked on the first line of defense, their aura had been greatly reduced. At this moment, they were hit harder by the 28th Regiment and were instantly beaten to no aura.
After charging several times in a row, the Japanese soldiers rushed to the position of the 28th Regiment. After leaving behind a corpse, the Japanese front commander could only pause the attack and readjust the offensive tactics.
"Baga! The damn Chinese army is so tenacious, and its firepower is so strong!"
After learning that the front line troops were blocked from attacking on the second line of defense, Tagaji Takahashi was so angry that he was so anxious that he had just reported the good news of breaking the first line of defense to the military command center, but he was slapped in the face with his backhand.
Before the attack, Tagaji Takahashi arrogantly believed that he would be able to occupy Changsha in one day, but after playing for half a day, he was still stuck in the second line of defense on the periphery.
At this speed, not to mention occupying Changsha within today, I am afraid there will be less than three or five days to think about it.
At noon, after the Japanese army replenished the attacking troops, they began to launch a fierce attack on the 28th Regiment.
This time, two Japanese corps attacked the South Gate position of the 10th Division and the Zuojiatang position at the same time.
At this moment, the Chief of Staff of the 11th Army, Kinoshita, who received the frontline good news, excitedly led several military reporters to the sky above Changsha on a plane.
When the plane flew low and swung past the battlefield where the fire was fierce, Kinoshita Yuki said loudly to the followers in an excited and proud tone:
"Everyone, under the protection of His Majesty the Emperor, our great Japanese Imperial Army expanded its territory and established the most glorious and greatest prosperous era of the Yamato nation in thousands of years.
Today, our 11th Army soldiers will conquer Changsha City, the capital of Hunan, and offer another strategic gift to His Majesty the Emperor!”
"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"
"His Majesty the Emperor" is on-load!"
At this moment, the Japanese troops on the ground saw that it was their own plane coming to inspect and take photos, and they all waved to the planes in the sky happily.
So, these military reporters took these shots very well and prepared to take them back and promote them well.
After brushing a pack of presence on the front line, Kinoshita Aoshita took a plane back to Yueyang Command Post.
After a pleasant exchange with Anan Wei, Kinoshita Aoshita excitedly sent a report to the General Command and Base Camp of the China Sendering Army:
The attack on Changsha was successful, and the vanguard had already attacked the city and was expected to win the battle within tomorrow.
But it is obvious that Kinoshita Yuki, Anan Weiji and others were too happy too early and their conclusions were too optimistic.
In fact, Kinoshita Yuki only saw that the Japanese troops conquered the first line of defense and pushed the front line to the second line of defense, and did not see the specific situation clearly.
Although the Japanese army invested a lot of troops and had a strong offensive momentum, it made great progress in some local areas after a bloody battle, but overall, the Japanese army's offensive was not much frustrated.
Chapter completed!
