Just when Suri was planning how to develop his own water power, Juichi Terauchi, who really couldn't withstand the pressure from the base camp, had to order the 113th Division and the 93rd Division to arrive at the junction of Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong early.
Launched an attack on Nanxiong and Meizhou.//The fastest update //.
The defenders of Nanxiong and Meizhou immediately launched a counterattack against the invading Japanese troops. The two flying regiments of the 1st Air Division that were ordered to station here also launched air support for the front line. As soon as the battle began, the defenders' firepower immediately
To the surprise of the invading Japanese army, the two Japanese armies who had never fought against Suri's troops immediately felt that the defenders on the opposite side were not at the same level as the [***] they had come into contact with before.
Not only is the firepower fierce, but it can also call for air support at any time. On several occasions, the Japanese army dispatched tank troops to cooperate with the infantry to attack with superior force. As long as the opponent showed the slightest sign of being unable to defend, the defenders would immediately call in air support.
The overwhelming number of aircraft will cause heavy losses to the Japanese army, and they will eventually have to retreat.
When Shouichi Terauchi received a telegram from the 93rd Division and the 113th Division that the attack was blocked, it further increased his determination not to take a trip into this muddy water, so with more excuses, he ordered the troops
The attack was stopped and a telegram was sent to the base camp, requesting the base camp to mobilize more land aviation units or naval aviation units to counter the Seventh Group Army's air force. The Tokyo base camp, which received the telegram from Juichi Terauchi, did not have time to get angry because it was on another battlefield.
Above, more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers are fighting in a bloody battle. This battle is also related to the fate of Hunan.
In an inconspicuous private house in Changsha City, dozens of staff officers wearing uniforms of the Central Army were shuttling back and forth in a large room. Xue Yue, acting commander of the Ninth Theater District, was standing in front of a 100,000-to-1 giant.
He stood motionless in front of the map.
"Report!" A staff officer came up behind him and said loudly: "Report to Commander Xue, there is a call from the 79th Army. The Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, the Nara Detachment and a tank brigade are attacking them along the Miluo River. Due to the
The Japanese army's offensive is fierce and they are having a very difficult time fighting. Commander Sun hopes that the headquarters can send reinforcements to them, otherwise the Miluo River will not be protected."
"Reinforcements?" A cold light flashed in Xue Yue's eyes, and he turned around and yelled: "He Tian Songyao led an army of more than 30,000 people and defended the Miluo River for even a day. He still has the nerve to call for reinforcements? Go... you go and tell
This Tian Songyao, if he dares to lose his position, I will send him to a military court."
The staff officer felt a chill in his heart, and after saying "yes" loudly, he turned around and walked back. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and then a strange voice came in, "Dear General Xue, what on earth is this?"
What made you so angry?"
When Xue Yue turned around and saw the person coming, he smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out to be Colonel Hurley. Why are you here? Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to go outside the city to have a look?"
It turned out that the visitor was Hurley, who had just arrived in Changsha with a military observation team.
While he was talking, Hurley walked in with several officers from the observation group. He shook his head: "I won't go outside the city. I can tell from the sound of gunfire here that your troops and the Japanese
I am in a very serious stalemate, and I am still in the stalemate stage, is that right?"
Xue Yue smiled bitterly, pointed to the map and said: "Please see, the Japanese army is now attacking our 79th Army along the Miluo River. Since the Japanese army has dispatched aircraft and armored units, it is difficult for our army to resist the Japanese army with light weapons alone.
The army is attacking, and now I am in a dilemma."
Hurley looked at the map and then nodded: "Yes, I have to say that your army's weapons and equipment are really backward. They even lack basic anti-tank equipment. It is really difficult to resist the Japanese."
An attack launched by both the sky and the ground. However, please rest assured that General Su of Guangdong has promised me that his air support will arrive in the next two days."
"I hope so."
Hearing this, Xue Yue showed a bitter smile. Originally, his ninth theater also had an air force. When Su Rui came to Changsha more than a year ago, he made a deal with Su Rui and got more than 20
With the establishment of Wildcat fighter jets, it became the only theater with direct air power. However, the good times did not last long. As these fighter jets were gradually exhausted, he soon returned to the point where no aircraft were available.
When Hurley came to Changsha two days ago, he also vowed that Su Rui would send two squadrons of fighter planes to assist. However, several days have passed and he still hasn't seen a shadow. Xue Yue's heart is also broken.
It has gradually cooled down, and now he basically has no hope for this.
"It's here... it's here... sir, our reinforcements are here!"
At this moment, a confidential officer who was sitting in front of the radio took off his headset and shouted excitedly: "Sir, it's received. We have received a call channel from the friendly forces. They claim to be the Second Air Division of the Seventh Group Army."
They were ordered to come to support us and ask us to guide the direction of the airport."
"What, they're actually here?"
"Oh God, they're finally here!"
Two different exclamations rang out in the room, Xue Yue's was an exclamation, while Hurley's was a sound of relief.
"Quick, give me the headset!"
Xue Yue walked over, grabbed the headset and microphone from the confidential officer's hand and said loudly: "Hello, I am Xue Yue, acting commander of the ninth theater. Please tell me your number and scale. Repeat, please tell me."
Your number and size!”
Soon, a strange voice came from the headset, "Mr.
, we are almost arriving in Changsha, please send someone to guide us to land."
Xue Yuechang took a breath and calmed down before saying: "Hello, Captain Liang, on behalf of all the troops in the Ninth Theater District, I would like to extend a warm welcome to your arrival, but I have something to ask for your help. Now I, Miluo Jiang, are
Suffering a fierce attack from the Japanese tank troops and Japanese infantry, our defenders are struggling to defend. Can you support our Miluo River position first and then land?"
Xue Yue did not dare to neglect the air force that came to support them, and even used honorifics.
"This..." The other party hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Of course, Chief Xue, but we don't have much oil left, so the support to the Miluo River cannot exceed ten minutes, and then we have to search for
We have landed at the airport, please understand."
Xue Yue was very happy after hearing what the other party said, "It only takes ten minutes. As long as this round of Japanese attack is repelled, the next thing will be easy to handle!" (To be continued.
