Because Higashikaru Miyazaki was assassinated, the Emperor was furious and wanted to find the murderer, retrieve Higashikaru Miyazaki's head, and send Higashikaru Miyazumi back to Japan intact.
On September 2, 1938, the rebuilt 10th Division and 13th Division launched a fierce attack on Fujin Mountain. Fujin Mountain is very close to Yejiaji and is on the south side of Shangliu Highway. It can block the highway from a high position on the mountain.
, Therefore, the Japanese army had to capture Mount Fujin and clear the obstacles. Also due to the assassination of Higashikaru Miyazaki, the Japanese army's attacks were more crazy than in history.
However, the Japanese army encountered here Song Xilian, known as the "Eagle Dog General". Song Xilian used his most elite German division, the 36th Division, to guard the main position in the middle. The former Northeastern Army's 114th Division guarded the left and the 88th Division on the right.
The Japanese attack was first aimed at the main position of the 36th Division in the middle. The Japanese attack pattern was the same. First, they bombed in turns with planes, then concentrated bombardment with heavy artillery, and finally charged with infantry. Fujin Mountain is not very dangerous, and the slope is not very dangerous at all.
No matter how tilted it is, the 36th Division is indeed the ace of the Central Committee. It held on desperately, causing the Japanese offensive to be repeatedly frustrated. Until September 6, the Japanese army was still at the foot of the mountain looking up at the top of the mountain with a helpless smile. Seeing that the 36th Division was too tough, the Japanese had no choice but to turn to the offensive.
The 114th Division on the left wing also used the trick of using surprise troops to detour to the rear. This time the Japanese detouring unit was discovered by the 88th Division and was ambushed. More than 400 people were lost and they had to return the same way. It was really a steal.
The rice was lost. At the same time, the troops attacking from the front were also repelled.
September 6, 1938, Wuhan
Zhou Weiguo had already led a special force to Wuhan. He knew that the Japanese army could not take advantage of Song Xilian, so he did not miss the battlefield. Dong Jiure Gong Minyan's head needed to be taken care of.
"Master, is this Wuhan?" Yang Dali asked curiously, "There are so many people! Moreover, there are so many troops!"
Zhou Weiguo nodded. Now that Chiang Kai-shek is in Wuhan, it is impossible that there will not be many troops in Wuhan.
"Be careful yourself, you should have some money too." Zhou Weiguo smiled, "When we meet the Chairman, we will take you for a nice tour."
"yes!"
There were soldiers guarding and inspecting the city gate. When they saw Zhou Weiguo and his party, they were all dressed strangely, but everyone carried at least two guns, and they all became serious.
Before Zhou Weiguo and others approached, the soldiers at the city gate had already raised their guns at Zhou Weiguo and others, shouting, "Don't move, put down the guns!"
Zhou Weiguo had no choice but to say, "I am Zhou Weiguo. Come and get my officer's certificate. Or call your commander."
The soldiers guarding the city gate listened to Zhou Weiguo's words and saw that Zhou Weiguo and others had no intention of attacking them, so a soldier came up, took Zhou Weiguo's officer certificate with both hands, looked at it, and then saluted Zhou Weiguo and said, "Hello, sir!
"
"Hello!" Zhou Weiguo returned the greeting and said, "Can you go in now?"
"Please wait a moment, sir. Someone has already gone to notify our commander." The soldier said, "The chairman of the Generalissimo is in Wuhan. Please forgive me, sir."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, and about 10 minutes later, a major general trotted over with soldiers, saluted Zhou Weiguo, and said, "Murong Feng, a low-ranking Wuhan garrison commander, has met Commander Zhou!"
"Hello!" Zhou Weiguo returned the greeting, then handed him his military officer ID card and said, "Take a look."
"Yes!" Immediately, Murong Feng took the military officer's ID card with both hands. After confirming that it was correct, he returned it to Zhou Weiguo and said, "This is my duty. Please forgive me, Sir Zhou."
"It's okay." Zhou Weiguo smiled, "I'm sorry."
"Sir Zhou, please." Murong Feng made an invitation to come in. Zhou Weiguo nodded and walked into Wuhan City. The news of his arrival in Wuhan will soon reach Chiang Kai-shek's ears.
…
Wuhan Security Command
"Brother Zhou is indeed a young and talented man." Guo Chan, the commander of the Wuhan Security Command, smiled and said to Zhou Weiguo. He knew that Zhou Weiguo would definitely go to see Chiang Kai-shek.
"Commander Guo is so polite." Zhou Weiguo said with a smile, "It's all the principal's compliments."
"Haha. I'm not in Shandong, so why did I come to Wuhan?"
"Defending the territory during the war of resistance, even my independent division is no exception. Our independent division has not yet formed its combat capabilities, so we can only bring a small group of troops to join in the fun." Zhou Weiguo pretended to be helpless. Regarding the situation in front of him,
This lieutenant general was a direct descendant of Chiang Kai-shek. Guo Chan, also named Huiwu, was from Zhuji, Zhejiang. He participated in the civil war after the end of the Anti-Japanese War.
"That's true." Guo Chan smiled and said, "I have already reported the news of your coming to Wuhan. It is estimated that the Chairman will meet you soon."
Zhou Weiguo nodded and asked, "How is Wuhan now?"
Guo Chan sighed, "Although fighting is still going on at the front, the Japanese will bomb Wuhan from time to time. So far, there have been forty or fifty times."
Zhou Weiguo knew that from the end of 1937 to October 25, 1938, before the Nationalist Government retreated from Wuhan, the Japanese army conducted a total of 61 air raids on Wuhan, dispatched nearly 1,000 aircraft, dropped more than 4,500 bombs, and killed more than 4,000 innocent civilians.
, injured more than 5,000 people and destroyed more than 5,000 houses. "No wonder, houses in some places were damaged, and some people in the city felt panic."
"In the final analysis, the country has been weak for a long time, and the planes we can get are inferior to those of the Japanese." Guo Chan sighed, "The Chairman does not have much funds either."
Zhou Weiguo nodded and said, "Air superiority is indeed very important to modern warfare."
…
Zhou Weiguo had a conversation with Guo Chan and found out that this man was really capable. He sighed about his future outcome, and someone came to report that the chairman of the committee wanted to see Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo found a box, put Dong Jiure Gong Minyan's head in it, and then took the others and got on the car to Jiang's house.
…
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Luojiashan, Zhou Weiguo and others finally got out of the car.
A major general is already waiting outside.
When Zhou Weiguo saw that person, he sighed in his heart. It was Dai Li. He never expected that Dai Li would pick him up at the door.
"Farewell to Nanjing. Brother Weiguo, how are you doing?" Dai Li said with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, General Dai." Zhou Weiguo replied, "I haven't seen you for a year. How is General Dai doing?"
"We are just fighting to defend our territory. Please." Dai Li immediately smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, and then said to Liu San and others, "You guys wait here."
"yes!"
…
When Zhou Weiguo followed Dai Li to the reception room, Zhou Weiguo saw Chiang Kai-shek again.
"Zhou Weiguo, Commander of the Independent Division, is here to report." When he was at the door, Zhou Weiguo stood at attention and saluted, looking at Chiang Kai-shek.
"Haha, okay, just come." Chiang Kai-shek smiled, looked at the wooden box on Zhou Weiguo's left hand, and guessed what was inside, "Come in and sit down."
