On May 27, 1939, Xianghe River, also called Dongjing River, was the left bank tributary of Chuhe River, a first-class tributary of the Yangtze River. A man looked at the Japanese troops on the west bank and frowned. This time, Okamura Neji’s layout was very
Tricky, split attacks combined, cone-shaped breakthrough, surrounded by two wings. Although this is also Okamura Neji's usual tactics, but now both sides have about the same strength, so the east bank may not be easy to defend.
The man sighed. This time, his right-wing army only controlled two non-direct armies, the 29th and 33rd. Due to the previous battle consumption and the reduction of the organization, the total strength was not even 40,000. However, now, the Japanese have no strength.
There are more than 70,000 (historically 35,000), which is nearly twice as many troops as our own. What's more, the 29th Group Army is a Sichuan Army unit with poor equipment, insufficient training, and not to mention combat effectiveness. And what about the 33rd Group Army?
, some generals wanted to preserve their strength. He sighed again, and then returned to the headquarters. He took a pen and paper and began to write vigorously.
"Today's matter, my brother and I have only two ways to go: one is to deal with it, everyone will deal with it, everything will be dealt with, I will deal with my brother, and I will deal with my subordinates... Therefore, the result of this path must be ruined.
, not only was the country ruined by our hands, but even our lives were ruined by ourselves, which is tantamount to suicide. Therefore, this road is a dead end, a road of perdition." The man wrote this, paused, and then
Picking up the pen, he continued, "My brother and I are equal in life and death. We have shared hardships for more than ten years. Our feelings are stronger than our flesh and blood, and our loyalty is stronger than our compatriots... My brother and I have been supported by the country for decades. No matter how difficult it is, can we still fight?
? If our desperate efforts can stop the Japanese, not only a few people, but also the entire army will surely enjoy the glory of the Republic of China, and our officers and soldiers will also be able to maintain their glorious status; if unfortunately, we die on the battlefield, our fight is over, we
Together with my brothers, we are worthy of our country and our 40 million compatriots and elders. This is the only path we should take. Since the Anti-Japanese War, we have endured countless hardships. At this time, we have to endure the hardships of our country.
Falling short of success? Therefore, I can only hope that my brother and others will cheer up, grit their teeth, motivate their subordinates, and fight this battle. From now on in China, I will be a human being or a ghost, and we will see it in this battle."
After writing, he put down his pen, read it again, called the guard, and said, "Send this letter and telegram to the division commanders and above of the 29th and 33rd Army Groups."
"yes!"
Seeing the guards leaving after receiving the order, Zhang Zizhong sighed, hoping it would be useful. However, they would definitely not be able to hold on to such a situation and had to ask for support. However, the strength of the fifth theater was equivalent to that of the Japanese.
That's it, where will the headquarters mobilize troops to support?
Suddenly, he heard the buzz of the plane. He frowned, shall we start? Then, he picked up his gun and quickly walked out of the headquarters.
…
Xujiadian
Zhou Weiguo raised his head, looked at the Japanese planes in the sky, and said, "Whoever is coming, go and send a report to Nanchang and tell them that the planes can come to support."
"yes!"
At this time, a cannonball fell on the position.
"boom!"
Mud splashed on Zhou Weiguo's face. Zhou Weiguo shook his head. At this time, he had 600 men to defend the position, and he was really tired.
"Xiao Hui! Xiao Hui!" Zhou Weiguo shouted.
"Here you are, brother, what's going on?" Liu Zhihui shouted and replied.
"Are any of your classmates good at playing with cannons?" Zhou Weiguo asked.
"Yes, basically all!" Liu Zhihui nodded. In the military academy, they will become officers in the future, so they will learn a lot.
"Okay, take your classmates and follow me." Zhou Weiguo said immediately, then walked up to Fang Shengli and said, "Shengli, Dingtian, you guys are optimistic about the position."
"Okay." Fang Shengli nodded.
Afterwards, Zhou Weiguo withdrew from the trenches.
Soon, Zhou Weiguo found a relatively hidden place and immediately took out more than thirty cannons and corresponding shells from the system warehouse. At this time, Liu Zhihui was still gathering his classmates.
Zhou Weiguo then fiddled with a cannon, began to adjust the angle, and then roughly estimated the distance to the Japanese army.
After a while, Liu Zhihui came here with everyone.
"Brother, there is actually an artillery position here? Why didn't people in the past know how to use it?" Liu Zhihui was surprised.
"I guess I didn't care." Zhou Weiguo raised his eyebrows, pretending not to know, and then said to everyone, "Since you can play with cannons, I won't say anything more. Coordinates xx, xx, angle 45°, enter immediately
Combat status, ready to shoot."
"yes!"
More than a hundred people looked at the cannon in front of them and said, "Weird, this is at least a 120mm caliber howitzer!"
"Did this regiment really have these equipment before?"
"Stop asking, hurry up!"
…
After a while, the roar of artillery was heard from behind our own position.
…
"Shoot!" A Japanese sergeant directed the soldiers to shoot. Suddenly, he heard some strange sounds, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. He raised his head and saw a black dot flying towards him. Then,
The black dot was reflected in his narrowed pupils, and the black dot gradually grew larger. He instantly became frightened, "Hidden!" Then he took the lead and lay down on the ground.
"Boom!" The huge explosion turned up the surrounding soil and took away the lives of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, 29 more artillery shells flew towards the Japanese army at almost the same time.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Continuous explosions sounded, blasting roughly the location of the Japanese army.
…
"Nani, the Chinese actually have heavy artillery?" The Japanese commander frowned, "Let our artillery continue to attack!"
"Hi!"
"May I ask, where are the chariot troops?"
"Hi!"
"Send another report to the headquarters and say that we are requesting tactical support from the Air Force!"
"Hi!"
…
"All good." Zhou Weiguo looked at everyone and said, "A cannon is equipped with 30 shells now. Your task is to shoot 10 shells, then extend forward, shoot another 10 shells, and then extend.
Zhihui, you are in charge of the artillery. I think the Japanese planes will come soon, so be careful."
"Yes!" Liu Zhihui saluted. On the battlefield, he would not smile playfully. This is the rule.
Zhou Weiguo nodded and quickly went to the trench.
…
"How is it?" Zhou Weiguo asked.
"Under the fire of our artillery, the Japanese can't fight back at all. They will probably bombard us soon." Fang Shengli said, "However, after a while, the Japanese planes are probably coming."
"Don't be afraid, our plane is coming soon." Zhou Weiguo said immediately, "Brothers, please pay attention to yourselves and take cover when the Japanese plane comes."
"Okay." Fang Shengli nodded and fired another shot.
Seeing this, Zhou Weiguo did not stop, but quickly found a shooting point and started shooting.
