Chapter 360 Japanese Army and Sichuan Detachment
The 512th Brigade of Daya Bay Coast.
Ouyang and Wang Yaqiao continued to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the next battle situation in the temporary command post.
"Brig Commander, the Japanese army is really coming in full force this time. Starting at 8:2o last night, six batches of Japanese reconnaissance planes have been hovering over us. If we hadn't been hiding in time, we would have been spotted by the Japanese reconnaissance planes."
Wang Yaqiao said with some gratitude.
"hehe!"
Ouyang smiled and said, "We are afraid of being seen by the Japanese invaders' planes, so the Japanese invaders do not want them to be seen. On the surface, there is only one battalion of hundreds of people in the entire Daya Bay waters, and the Japanese invaders are also afraid of alarming the enemy!"
Two senior Japanese spies, Li and Guo, lurked in the General Command of the 12th Army.
The two of them mastered the fortification design and position organization patterns in the entire Guangdong, and had secretly conveyed the news to the 21st Army of the Japanese Army a few days ago.
Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao laughed and said, "Commander-in-Chief Yu Hanmou can really calm down. After a long time of endurance, he controlled Li and Guo."
"yes!"
Ouyang nodded, "Now the Japanese army has no idea. We have already laid an army and a brigade in the waters of Daya Bay, with a total of more than 20,000 troops. We are waiting for the Japanese to arrive!"
"Click!"
At this moment, the door of the temporary command post was pushed open.
But there was a person coming in. This person was the leader of the kitchen squad. At this time, he was holding two bowls of porridge and a plate of pickles in his hand.
"Brig Commander, Chief of Staff, look at you two, you should eat something. You haven't eaten for a whole day, so don't starve your body."
Squad leader Pang Hong said with a worried look on his face.
"Ha ha!"
At this time, Ouyang and Wang Yaqiao realized that they had not eaten for a whole day and couldn't help laughing.
"Chief of Staff, come on, Squad Leader Pang Hong has brought the meal here. Let's hurry up and give it a bite. Otherwise, when will God know when will this next meal be done?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yaqiao was not pretentious and sat down directly and feasted with Ouyang.
At this moment, although Ouyang's nerves were still tense, they also relaxed a lot.
For the upcoming battle to defend Guangzhou, Ouyang has done the best he has done.
Whether or not you can defend Guangzhou depends on the specific development of the battle situation.
"After the personnel are finished, it depends on the destiny of heaven! If the destiny is in me, Guangzhou will be protected!"
Ouyang sneered at this sentence!
God willing?
What is God's will?
To put it bluntly, it is the reason or excuse that the weak gives him to him.
Ouyang never believed these things!
Whether China can protect the only remaining lifeline at sea is all about the officers and soldiers’ lives. If the defense is properly arranged, it will be up to God’s will!
"The brigade commander and deputy commander of the Independent Regiment have arrived with an emergency telegram!"
At this time, Ye Cunxin suddenly broke into the command post and said anxiously.
Emergency telegram?
In an instant, Ouyang and Wang Yaqiao put down their bowls and chopsticks and snatched the telegram.
The text content: "The Japanese vanguard has roughly estimated that there is 1 frigate, 8 large ships, 12 motor ships, 3 sampan ships, 20 fishing boats, and 2 steamboats."
As soon as they finished watching, Ouyang and Wang Yaqiao were both excited.
“It’s just right here!”
Ouyang said happily: "Ye Cunxin, immediately send a telegram to Deputy Commander Gao and ask him to implement the original plan without intercepting the Japanese vanguard, and open the Tianmen for me!"
"yes!"
Ye Cunxin replied.
Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao said in surprise: "Brigit Commander, judging by the number of ships in the Japanese vanguard, the maximum number of troops transported by the brigade commander is only one corps. As expected, it is consistent with your previous judgment."
When the Japanese army fights, there is an unwritten habit, that is, whether it is small troops or large corps, the Japanese army will send a small number of troops to conduct tentative attacks.
When a corps fight, the Japanese army often sends a full squadron to conduct tests;
When a brigade fights, the Japanese army will send a brigade of troops to conduct tests;
As for a division and a legion, the Japanese army will send a corps force to test it.
This tactic has an extremely significant advantage, that is, it can use a small amount of troops as a feint to expose the enemy's deployment position, military strength status, and firepower configuration to the greatest extent.
However, there is also a very obvious disadvantage, that is, such a rigid tactic can allow the Chinese team that fights with them to easily judge the strength of the Japanese main force.
Before traveling through time, Ouyang complained a lot about this.
"The Japanese's tactic has suffered a lot of losses from the Americans in the later Southeast Asian battlefield. If the Japanese army is a little more flexible, it will inevitably cause greater casualties to the US army."
In Ouyang's opinion, neither the Americans nor the Japanese are anything.
Ouyang looked at Wang Yaqiao and smiled and said, "Chief of Staff, this Japanese corps that came to the door is a big piece of fat. If we don't eat it, it will be useless for the Japanese to have a good mood!"
"Hahaha!"
Wang Yaqiao also laughed.
"We must not let go of this big fat piece. I will now give the New First Regiment and the Artillery Corps a telegram and order them to prepare for battle and make sure to annihilate this group of rampant Japanese devils on the Little Turtle Island!"
Little Turtle Island is the second major focus in Ouyang Island’s defense plan.
The reason why Ouyang judged that the Japanese vanguard troops would land on Little Turtle Island was because of the history of landing he had.
Secondly, it is caused by the terrain of Daya Bay.
The Japanese army did not choose to climb directly from the Daya Bay coast because there were many reefs around the Daya Bay coast, which was not conducive to the proximity of Japanese ships.
The Little Turtle Island is less than 3 kilometers away from the Daya Bay coast, and the water surface is in good condition. After the Japanese landed on the 6th from the Little Turtle Island, they only needed some small boats to transport weapons, ammunition and soldiers directly to the Daya Bay coast through secondary transportation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
December 12, 1938, late at 2:45 pm.
Little Turtle Island.
The Japanese vanguard troops attacking Guangdong, the Oikawa Detachment, and more than 3 people successfully passed through the Daya Bay waters without any resistance, arrived at Little Turtle Island with ease.
The waterline of fishing boats and small boats was shallow, and they were moored directly on the shore of Little Turtle Island. Japanese troops were quickly getting off the boat, wading the sea water submerged at their necks, slowly heading towards the shore, and were extremely fast.
"Hao!"
"Hao!"
One by one, the Japanese army rushed to the shore.
As for the large ships and sampan boats in the distance, due to the deep waterline of the ship, they have to wait for some of the troops to complete the boarding of 6, and they are borrowing small ships and fishing boats to complete the boarding of 6.
The Japanese vanguard unit, commander of Oikawa Detachment, Oikawa Tatsuo, watched the troops quickly board the 6th and couldn't help but laugh: "Silly China~ soldiers, such a good terrain is really a waste. If I were the commander of the China ** team, as long as I stationed the 2ooo people here, when my troops boarded 6th and attacked fiercely, we would definitely suffer heavy losses!"
Oikawa Tachio's words instantly won the recognition of a number of officers.
After attacking halfway, the Japanese army could only become a living target.
The officers also changed their colors slightly, but they instantly relieved their worries.
In their opinion, this secret entry into 6 was impossible to be noticed by the Chinese army, and they immediately smiled happily.
"The whole of China, sooner or later, will be my land of the Great Japanese~n!"
"Commander, it's not that the Chinese soldiers are stupid, but they understand that even if they garrison the troops here, they are definitely not the opponent of our Imperial Army!"
"Watanabe is right. As the vanguard force, our Oikawa Detachment, as the vanguard force, should make a contribution!"
"According to the information from the Sakura Agency, the Chinese soldiers in the entire Daya Bay waters only have a battalion of more than 40 people. In this case, we only need a few minutes to attack the Chinese army. The army fled in panic. It is not impossible to completely occupy Daya Bay, head north and take down Tamsui Town!"
Time passes slowly, and in a blink of an eye it is almost 3 o'clock in the evening.
The Japanese Oikawa Detachment had about 700 people boarded the coast, and more than hundreds of others were also boarding the coast quickly. More than a thousand people were also waiting for the ships.
At this moment, in the dense forest not far from the coast of Little Turtle Island, countless Eighth Route Army soldiers poked their heads and stared at the Japanese army with a torch. Just by waiting for the order from Longdagu, the soldiers on the left, right and middle areas launched a sudden attack, which would inevitably catch the Japanese off guard.
For a moment, the soldiers' breathing was much faster, and the gun rod they held tightly was soaked with sweat.
Long Dagu stared at the Japanese army.
Attack halfway!
A sudden attack from this time will surely damage the Japanese army!
"Dry!"
Suddenly, Long Dagu shouted.
In an instant, the new first regiment of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army showed his fangs towards the attacking Japanese army!
Chapter completed!
