The Japs in charge of Dongcheng District launched their last attack before the sun went down, but the result was still the same. Facing the stubborn resistance of the Second Battalion of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army, they withdrew after throwing down dozens of corpses. After that, the entire
The battlefield in Dongcheng District fell silent. After working hard all day, the little devil was tired and needed a rest.
After arranging the night guard post, Xu Rui returned to the headquarters of the 799th Regiment.
At this time, Zhao Baishi and Leng Tiefeng had also returned to the headquarters of the 799th Regiment. Zhao Baishi also came back with the Mountain Leopard, the Siberian Tiger, Gou Ligui and Han Feng, but Han Feng's right arm was
He was hanging, and his upper arm was wrapped in gauze. There was still bright red blood seeping out from under the gauze.
"Fengzi, have you failed?" Xu Rui asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's just that the little devil's 38-year-old boy got a hole in his eye." Han Feng scratched his head with his left hand and said, "But the little devil didn't take any advantage. I killed four of them.
The guy who hurt me also received a stone from me. Although he missed his vital point and only hit his leg, it was enough for him to drink a pot of water."
Xu Rui turned his attention to the mountain leopard again and asked, "Where are you, leopard?"
"I'm fine." Zhuanshan Leopard said carelessly, "Fengzi was unlucky and bumped into the Japs' trump card. I was lucky. The things that hit the muzzle of my gun were all vegetables. I killed them all."
The Siberian Tiger said: "Captain, why don't you ask me?"
"What do you have to ask?" Xu Rui said with a smile, "He's rough-skinned and thick-bodied, and he won't die if he's shot."
"The leader is just partial." The Siberian tiger pouted, sat down at the dining table, grabbed a white-flour steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. After two clicks, the fist-sized bun disappeared, and then he slurred while chewing it.
Unclear said, "These bastard things are making me starve."
Xu Rui turned his attention to Gou Ligui again.
"Captain Xu." Seeing Xu Rui's eyes looking over, Gou Ligui nodded habitually and bowed, but the next moment, he reacted and quickly straightened up.
The Siberian tiger said to Xu Rui: "Captain, these two devils are very skilled."
Gou Ligui immediately retorted: "Well, I am an upright Chinese now, why are you still calling me a Japanese devil?"
"Ah, I'm really sorry." The Siberian tiger quickly apologized with a smile, "I called him Tu Luzui."
However, looking at the cheeky smile on the Siberian tiger's face, how can he sincerely apologize?
"Okay, just stop saying a few words." Xu Rui glanced at Gou Ligui again, then called Leng Tiefeng, Zhao Baishi and Gou Ligui to sit at the table, and then spread out the map.
Xu Rui said: "After a day of fierce fighting today, our 799th Regiment suffered a total of more than 300 casualties, with 50 killed and 36 seriously injured. However, the casualties of the garrison brigade were relatively large, with almost 300 killed.
More than a hundred people were seriously injured, and nearly half of the troops were lost! According to Western standards, it can be judged as a complete loss of combat effectiveness."
"Niao Fei." Gou Ligui immediately became unhappy and said, "Our security brigade is not finished yet."
"I just said that it is the standard of the West." Xu Rui nodded and said, "We Orientals don't believe in the white-skinned pigs. We Orientals only believe in one thing. As long as there is one person, the position
It's still there, as long as this person is still breathing, the battle is not over yet!"
Gou Ligui's face immediately showed a tragic look.
What Xu Rui said is actually not new. He has already heard these words, but Gou Ligui had no idea about these words before. However, after experiencing today's fierce battle in Nancheng District,
Later, Gou Ligui had a profound understanding of this sentence. When people are in position, they really have to take their lives!
Xu Rui continued: "The casualties on our side are quite large, and the casualties on the Japs side will not be less. Before more reinforcements arrive, the Japs will be like this, so we must persist for five days to complete General Xue Yue's order."
There is absolutely no problem, which means we can start thinking about a breakout now."
"Breakout?" Zhao Baishi and Gou Ligui looked at each other in shock upon hearing this.
To be honest, the two of them never thought about the possibility of breaking out.
Leng Tiefeng smiled and said: "Why, don't you want to break out?"
"That doesn't exist, it doesn't exist." Zhao Baishi shook his head repeatedly and said, "I just think that Jiujiang has been surrounded by little devils, and they are jumping out again?"
"The water is blocked?" Leng Tiefeng said suddenly, "The Japanese are nothing at all."
Xu Rui waved his hand and said: "That's right, that's what I thought about it."
Xu Rui called Leng Tiefeng, Zhao Baishi and Gou Ligui to gather around the map, and then told him his idea. Leng Tiefeng's eyes immediately lit up.
(Dividing line)
At the same time, the headquarters of the Japanese Eleventh Army.
Itagaki Seishiro watched with a gloomy expression as Ogawara Shunsi limped into his command post.
To be honest, Itagaki Seishiro really had high hopes for the Okahara Battalion. Unfortunately, the Okahara Battalion had a bad start. After the first battle, eleven special forces were lost, and even Ogahara Shunsi was also killed.
Injured, this result can be said to be completely beyond Itagaki Seishiro's expectations.
Itagaki Seishiro thought that the Oluhara Brigade would be blocked by Langya, but he did not expect that the gap between the Okahara Brigade and Langya would be so big! However, this also gave Itagaki Seishiro a deeper understanding of special operations.
, in special terrains such as jungles and cities, special forces are simply demonic existences!
Therefore, the failure of the Ogahara Battalion did not prompt Itagaki Seishiro to give up the idea of forming a special forces. Instead, it strengthened his belief in building an elite special forces. Moreover, Itagaki Seishiro further thought that the subsequent special forces formed must
Recruit ninjas from all over Japan to participate!
In an instant, Itagaki Seishiro thought of many, many things.
"Your Excellency, Commander!" Ogawara Shunsi walked up to Itagaki Seishiro, stood up straight, paused and said, "I have let you down because of my incompetence in my position."
Itagaki Seishiro then came forward and patted Ogahara Junsi on the shoulder, and said with concern: "Ogahara-san, your legs are not in the way, right?"
"It's a small injury, it doesn't matter." Xiaolu Yuanjunsi smiled a little reluctantly.
"As the saying goes, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. I don't blame you for today's failure. Go down and have a rest." Itagaki Seishiro said a few words of gentle words, then dismissed Ogawara Junsi, and then appointed the new chief of staff of the Eleventh Army.
Ueno Kameguo called into the command post and said with a gloomy look, "Ueno-san, it seems we must think of another countermeasure."
"Think of another countermeasure?" Ueno Kamefu couldn't keep up and asked in confusion, "What countermeasure?"
Itagaki Seishiro frowned slightly. It seemed that after this battle was over, he would have to change his chief of staff. This Kame Ueno had poor understanding and was not very good at using him.
Itagaki Seishiro explained patiently: "Judging from today's fighting situation, it is impossible to eliminate the 799th Regiment in a short time. The Jiujiang battle will inevitably form a stalemate, but Gao'an's 27th
But it is difficult for the division to hold on for a long time, so another channel must be opened."
"I understand!" Ueno Kamehao suddenly said, "Commander, you are saying that the road from Xingzi to De'an will be rebuilt, and then supplies will be transported to the 27th Division of Gao'an through the Xingzi and De'an lines?"
"That's it." Itagaki Seishiro said, "Immediately issue an order to the garrison in De'an County and Xingzi County, and ask the garrison in the two counties to immediately recruit civilians to repair the road. The road from Xingzi County to De'an County must be completed within three days.
Military supplies must be transported to Gao'an within five days!"
"Hai!" Ueno Kamefu nodded heavily, turned around and walked into the communications office next door to deliver the order.
Itagaki Seishiro's eyes fell on the map again, and then his thick eyebrows frowned slightly.
Before the battle started, Itagaki Seishiro had already anticipated that the situation might become very difficult, but he still did not expect that it would be as difficult as it is now. What surprised Itagaki Seishiro most was that the Nationalist Government actually transferred a group army stationed in Yueyang to Jingzhou.
direction, we will not hesitate to open the southern gate of Wuhan but also defend Jingzhou, the transportation hub from Wuhan to Chongqing!
Although the Third Division has captured Huarong, its intention to take advantage of the situation to capture Jingzhou and completely cut off the water and land transportation lines between Wuhan and central Sichuan has failed, at least in a short period of time. As a result, the Third Division
The 101st Division is also in a tough fight, and as time goes by, the situation will rapidly deteriorate.
The truth is obvious. The Third Division and the 101st Division are fighting alone. They can still rely on looting for food and other supplies, but weapons and ammunition cannot be replenished through looting. However, the National Army is fighting at home and can be nearby.
Get a steady stream of personnel and supplies from Wuhan and central Sichuan!
Therefore, with every day of delay, the situation faced by the Third and 101st Division will become more dangerous. In five days at most, these two divisions will be in a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food! Itagaki Seishiro originally thought that,
The battle can be resolved in five days at most, but now that two days have passed, the chance of victory seems slim.
It seems that we must ask for help from the Condemnation Army Headquarters.
In fact, Itagaki Seishiro was very reluctant to ask for help from the Condemned Army Headquarters. However, the situation was like this, and it was not up to him. If he did not ask for help from the Condemned Army Headquarters, and if the Second Army did not leave Xinxian, Macheng, and the entire Wuhan battle in time,
The situation may collapse, which will become the most disastrous defeat since the Sino-Japanese war broke out!
Itagaki Seishiro believed that the newly appointed commander of the Central China Condemnation Army, Nisio Hiszo, would never want to see this situation.
Just as Ueno Kame walked into the command post after conveying the order, Itagaki Seishiro immediately said: "Ueno-san, immediately send an urgent telegram to the headquarters of the Condemnation Army, requesting urgent tactical guidance!"
