Rio Yoshino was on the phone when a big explosion occurred in the arsenal.
The call was made to the prisoner-of-war camp, because faint gunshots had just been heard from the direction of the prisoner-of-war camp outside the city. Yoshino Rio wanted to call and ask what happened there, but Yoshino Rio found that the call could not be reached.
Yes, the operator reported back that the line was unavailable.
It turned out that before attacking the prisoner-of-war camp, Zhao Baishi had sent people to cut the telephone lines from the prisoner-of-war camp to the outside world in order to cut off the contact between the prisoner-of-war camp defenders and the outside world.
Therefore, if Rio Yoshino can get through the phone number of the prisoner of war camp, it will be called a ghost.
Yoshino Rio even asked for the phone three times but couldn't get through, and she felt faintly uneasy in her heart.
Could it be that something happened in the prisoner-of-war camp? You must know that at this time, the prisoner-of-war camp held not only more than 400 Guangdong Army prisoners of war, but also more than 1,200 Sichuan Army prisoners of war. These Sichuan Army prisoners of war were just transferred by Yoshino Rio from Anqing Prisoner of War Camp.
When I arrived, I was originally planning to settle down at the Wagyu cattle farm in Takenodaiso to grow opium.
But I didn’t expect that we would encounter such a huge change in the end!
Now Commander Okamura was assassinated, and Chief of Staff of the Eleventh Army Yoshimoto Seiichi also went after the assassin. Now the entire Jiujiang city was leaderless. He, the commander of the military police, became the temporary supreme commander and was forced to take charge of Jiujiang's city defense.
But he only had two squadrons of available troops.
Something happened in the prisoner of war camp, but it was actually nothing.
Even if all the more than a thousand prisoners held in the prison camp escaped, it would not be a big deal.
But Rio Yoshino cannot help but worry. If the incident in the prisoner of war camp is not an isolated incident, and if the incident in the prisoner of war camp is related to the assassination of Commander Okamura, the consequences will be disastrous, because this also means that the assassination of Commander Okamura is just a complete incident.
The beginning of a series of action plans, there are still big moves to come!
The more Rio Yoshino thought about it, the more likely it became that it was possible, and his heart immediately rose to his throat.
At that moment, Yoshino Rio picked up the phone again and said urgently: "Pick up the horse for me!"
Since the Japanese army captured the Madang Fortress two months ago, the Japanese Navy's Jiang Defense Fleet headquarters has moved forward from Nanjing to the Madang Fortress to support the offensive on both sides of the Yangtze River. However, Yoshino Rio called the Jiang Defense Fleet headquarters in Madang.
But it was to ask for help, because at this time Jiujiang city defense was extremely empty.
If the prisoners of war in Gantang Prisoner of War Camp are rescued and armed, Jiujiang will be in danger.
At this time, it was too late to call for help from the frontline field divisions, and Yoshimoto Seiichi would not send troops back for rescue, so the only thing Yoshino Rio could think of was to urge the Marine Corps to rush over as soon as possible.
The call was quickly connected, and Yoshino Rio said urgently: "Mashi Masai, I am Yoshino Rio, Commander Noike?"
The other end of the phone replied: "Mashi Masashi, the commander has personally led the Marine Corps to assist Jiujiang. I am the director of the staff department, Tatsuya Jimbo."
Rio Yoshino asked again: "Jinbo-san, how long have Commander Noike been gone?"
Jimbo Tatsuya replied: "Commander, you left yesterday evening. You should be arriving in Jiujiang soon."
Yoshino took a deep breath after hearing this. Just when he was about to say thank you, there was a loud bang outside the headquarters, and then the ground under his feet began to tremble slightly. Yoshino was startled and quickly hung up the phone.
After rushing out the door, I saw another dazzling red light shining in the southwest.
Then, even the ground beneath his feet began to tremble violently.
"What's going on? What's going on?" Yoshino Rio was confused.
"Captain, it seems there was an explosion in the arsenal." an officer from the gendarmerie said.
"Nani, arsenal?!" A heavy cold sweat broke out on Yoshino Rio's forehead.
If an explosion occurs in the arsenal, the consequences will be disastrous, because Jiujiang is not only the location of the Eleventh Army headquarters, but also the transfer station for all the Eleventh Army's war materials. Most of the war materials transported to the frontline divisions are
They all transit through Jiujiang, so the amount of ammunition stored in the Jiujiang arsenal is very considerable!
If there really was an explosion in the arsenal, it would seriously affect the course of the Wuhan battle!
"Baga!" Yoshino Rio cursed, immediately picked up the phone and shook the handle vigorously, and then yelled hysterically into the phone, "Get me the arsenal, pick up the arsenal, pick up the arsenal, quick, quick
!”
The female operator was yelled at by Yoshino Rio until her eardrums were numb, and she immediately transferred the line to the arsenal.
Unfortunately, after the arsenal's line was connected, there was no response like the prisoner of war camp outside the city.
"Bah!" Rio Yoshino let go of his hand, and the phone he was holding just now fell to the ground. Next, Rio Yoshino fell back on the chair, even though he had not yet received the final confirmation.
, but reason is telling Yoshino Rio, just like the prisoner of war camp, something has happened to the arsenal in all likelihood!
However, Rio Yoshino still had some illusions in his heart.
However, the last remaining illusion was soon shattered by the cruel facts.
After a while, an orderly rushed in to report that the arsenal had indeed been bombed!
Yoshino's vision suddenly went dark, and he almost fainted on the spot. However, after being stunned for a moment, Yoshino quickly came to his senses, stood up and shouted: "Order, the Second Infantry Squadron rushes to the station urgently! Station! Order!"
The 2nd Infantry Squadron is rushing to the station urgently, go to the station quickly!"
As the headquarters of the Japanese Eleventh Army, Jiujiang has many valuable military targets, but there are actually only three truly high-value military targets. In addition to the headquarters and the arsenal, the only remaining one is the Chengxi Station, because all the military targets are
All supplies destined for the field divisions on the front line must be loaded from Chengxi Station.
Therefore, what is stored in the station warehouse is not only arms, but also food, clothing, medicine and oil!
Moreover, the arms stored in the station warehouse are even more than those stored in the arsenal in the city. This is because the general offensive plan formulated by Okamura Neji has begun, and the military supplies originally stored in Jiujiang have also begun to be transported to the front line, so a large number of
All supplies have been stored in the station warehouse in advance.
Now, the arsenal in the city has been destroyed.
If the military supplies stored in the warehouse at the west station of the city are also destroyed by the enemy, then the Eleventh Army's general offensive plan will immediately be aborted. Without the supplies, the six and a half divisions of the Eleventh Army will still be able to survive.
What should we use to launch an attack? Should we let the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Eleventh Army attack with bayonets?
Therefore, the station cannot be lost no matter what!
Yoshino Rio originally did not intend to go to the station in the west of the city, but just before the departure of the second infantry squadron, Yoshino Rio changed his mind and decided to personally lead the mobile force of the last remaining squadron to rush to the station in an emergency.
Although the military headquarters is important, it is no longer as important as the station.
(Dividing line)
Rio Yoshino's departure was really helpless, but it also made Jiujiang's defense even more empty.
Zhao Baishi led the expanded Sichuan Army to Jiujiang. In addition to encountering some resistance outside the east gate, there was almost no decent resistance later. The war progressed more smoothly than Zhao Baishi imagined. At dawn, the troops continued to attack.
There were messengers who reported back the latest progress of each infantry battalion.
"Report, the first battalion has captured the Japanese headquarters!"
"Report, the Second Battalion has taken control of the Jiujiang Military Police!"
"Report, the Third Battalion has rushed to the arsenal, but Battalion Commander Xue reported that the fire in the arsenal was too strong, and the previous explosion was too violent. All the supplies have been completely destroyed and have lost their salvage value."
Listening to the reports from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battalions, Zhao Baishi couldn't help but feel happy.
Good guy, I thought there would be a fierce battle, but I didn't expect that Jiujiang's defenses were even more empty than expected. They actually took Jiujiang City without any trouble. Damn it, this is Jiujiang, this is a little devil.
The location of the Eleventh Army Headquarters was Sui, so they were able to capture it like this?
Suddenly, Zhao Baishi felt that all this was a little unreal.
It wasn't until the communications troops from the Fourth Battalion came to report that Zhao Baishi finally returned to reality.
"Report!" The fourth battalion is an infantry battalion temporarily formed by Cantonese prisoners of war. The communications soldiers are also Cantonese and speak with a strong Cantonese accent. "Our battalion encountered stubborn Japanese resistance at the dock. The Japanese firepower was very fierce.
There are also gunboats to support us. Our battalion has suffered heavy casualties. We request urgent support from friendly forces!"
Zhao Baishi was relieved when he heard that the Fourth Battalion was resisting at Jiujiang Pier and asked for support.
That's right. How can a little devil be so unbeaten, right? Everything will be normal now.
At that moment, Zhao Baishi shouted: "Give me an order. Each of the first, second, and third battalions will leave a company to clean the battlefield and wipe out the little Japanese who are stubbornly resisting in the city. The rest of the companies will all be dragged to Jiujiang Pier by me and follow the dogs."
I'm going to work hard all day long, tell those idiots to cheer up, and this time we will show off the majesty of our Sichuan Army!"
After giving the order, more than a dozen messengers immediately divided into three teams and went separately. Zhao Baishi also hurried to the dock with the last remaining company around him. In just a moment, only Xiao Taohong was left near the east gate.
, Xu Rui on a stretcher, and an infantry squad specially left by Zhao Baishi to protect Xu Rui.
When Xiao Taohong was hesitating whether to find medicine, Leng Tiefeng arrived.
Leng Tiefeng and the others had just met the Sichuan army outside the arsenal, and then they knew that Xu Rui was at the east gate and had been injured during the assassination of Okamura Neji. He was suffering from a high fever. Leng Tiefeng immediately ordered the drill team to
Mountain Leopard, Han Feng and Siberian Tiger went to find medicine and doctors, and he himself rushed to the east gate as soon as possible.
"Captain!" Seeing Leng Tiefeng, Xiao Taohong felt like she was seeing a relative, and tears immediately filled her beautiful eyes.
"Xiao Taohong, it's okay, it's okay." Leng Tiefeng quickly comforted Xiao Taohong, then hurriedly walked to Xu Rui's stretcher, stretched out his hand to explore Xu Rui's forehead, and found that it was frighteningly hot.++ Busty beauty Li Xueting's sexy perspective
