Chapter 5 Governing the Southwest Section 9 Sadness

The Niu Army consisted of the Central Army of 70, 72, 74th Army and other Central Army. The entire army reached 120,000, of which the predecessors of the 71st and 72nd Army were even more German divisions, and they were the elite among the elites, and the predecessors of the 74th Army were not that honorable, but their military achievements since the War of Resistance Against Japan were not inferior to those of those German divisions...

After the Second Jinpu Road Battle, the troops underwent overall uniforms, and the entire army changed and trained according to the equipment of the Forty-Nine Army, and their combat effectiveness was further improved.

According to Chen Cheng's summary, the annihilation war against the Japanese army must be assembled six times the Japanese army to implement it. The total strength of the Japanese 46th Division was only more than 16,000, and the 11th Army besieged with nearly ten times the strength.

Then Xue Yue was a little worried that the Japanese Air Force had an absolute advantage on this battlefield. In order to understand the siege of the 46th Division, the Japanese Air Force suspended the bombing of Wuhan and concentrated more than 200 aircraft. The main force of the Chinese Air Force sent to the Henan battlefield, leaving only one brigade of aircraft on the south bank of the Yangtze River. These dozens of aircraft were still responsible for defending Wuhan airspace, and could only send a very small number of aircraft to the battlefield on the Nanxun Line.

The Japanese air superiority caused great trouble for Yu Jishi. The heavy artillery troops were very careful in each artillery attack. Each artillery time could not exceed ten minutes, and then they had to transfer positions immediately, which seriously restricted artillery fire support.

If heavy artillery is lacking, light artillery can be supported, but this is not just the threat from the sky. Infantry attacks are often bombed by Japanese aircraft. In order to avoid Japanese aircraft bombing, the squadrons often choose to attack Japanese positions at night under the cover of night, and gradually compress the Japanese positions.

The Ma Huiling battle was carried out under this situation. The squadron relied on the large number of people and powerful forces to attack the Japanese army. The Japanese army on the ground resisted step by step with the support of the air to gain time. The Japanese army from the north and south attacked desperately, hoping to rescue the besieged Japanese army.

The Japanese army reported under Nanchang City sent interference from the 18th Army and attacked De'an together. Yu Jishi drew two divisions from the troops besieging the 46th Division to build defense lines south of De'an to block the Japanese army.

The entire Nanxun Road was fighting fiercely from north to south, and the 46th Division suffered heavy casualties. Within the encirclement, the space was constantly compressed, and artillery fire was quickly attacked to the division headquarters. The division commander Matsuma and even the guards of the division command headquarters were sent to the formation. The Japanese Air Force carried out the battlefield airdrop for the first time to replenish ammunition for the 46th Division.

The battle became increasingly fierce. Yu Jishi broke through several times and was defeated by Yu Jishi. The 74th Army broke through Liantang and split the 46th Division into two pieces. The 71st Army then conquered Zeng Jialong and divided the contact between the Shixin Regiment and the division headquarters.

When the 46th Division was about to collapse, the third Japanese fleet carried Fujimoto troops to land at the bridge ferry crossing in northeast De'an. Fujimoto's troops were temporarily formed. In view of the unfavorable war on the Nanxun Line, Tada Jun formed the troops drawn from various parts of Jiangnan. The total force reached 7,000. He was led by Major General Fujimoto Kikushi and handed over to Nishiji Tomura at the most critical time of the battle. Nishiji Tomura did not put him on the northern line, but appeared in the northeast of De'an in the form of a surprise weapon.

Okamura's move was beyond the expectations of Xue Yue and Yu Jishi. The defense game in this area was very weak, and Fujimoto quickly occupied Hot Spring Town, then defeated the local security team and occupied Aikou Town.

After receiving the report, Yu Jishi didn't care at first, and sent only one brigade to fight back. The brigade's counterattack quickly failed. He was forced to take a defensive position. Yu Jishi realized that he had made a mistake in his judgment and quickly dispatched the 51st Division to block the attack. But it was too late. Fujimoto's troops occupied Taoyuan Cliff with rapid movements, leaving only five miles away from the 46th Division, with only a Xiwu Mountain in the middle, and only the 51st Division was left in the middle.

On the northern line, Nishi Nishi of the Bumizu took the risk of drawing the 69th Division from the Ruichang Front, disregarding Ruichang, and taking advantage of the twenty-mile-wide gap between the 11th Army and the 72nd Army to launch an attack from the side and behind, defeating the 50th Brigade of the 16th Division of the 11th Army.

The battlefield situation changed in vain. Yu Jishi once again dispatched the 88th Division to counterattack. The remnants of the 46th Division within the encirclement took the opportunity to break through. After a day and night of fierce fighting, he finally joined the 69th Division.

Although the Japanese army broke out of the encirclement, the 46th Division was seriously injured, with only more than 3,000 people left in the entire division, and most of them were injured. Xue Yue was very angry at the failure to completely wipe out the 46th Division and asked Yu Jishi to pursue him immediately and annihilate the 69th Division in the future.

But Chen Cheng stopped his impulse. Although the 11th Army annihilated more than 10,000 enemies, its own losses were not particularly short of ammunition. In addition, if it continued to attack, it would fall into the attack of the Japanese army heading north and west.

The 11th Army then withdrew from the Nanxun Line, and the Japanese army did not pursue it. After the three Japanese troops gathered, they gave up De'an and rushed towards Ruichang. After the 69th Division was transferred, Yang Sen launched a fierce attack on Ruichang and rushed into Ruichang City twice. Although they were eventually beaten out, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses. Ruichang City was in danger. Yanci, the Net Village, urgently dispatched reinforcements to the aid at night.

Nishi Nishi, the current squadron is very different from the one he knows. The original squadron smoked and became corruption, and had no will to fight. However, the squadron in front of him had a tenacious fighting will and well-equipped, and they even dared to challenge the Imperial Army on their own initiative. Gan Chi was a little surprised that the elite squadron were all in the fifth war zone. Unexpectedly, the troops in Zhuliegong District were like this.

The failure of the Nanxun Line battle made Neji Shanmura realize that the current force alone could not cut off the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway and complete the large detour battle. After stabilizing Ruichang, Neji Yunmura decided to switch to defense throughout the line and focus on combat on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

The victory on the Nanxun Line gave Chiang Kai-shek hope to defend Wuhan. It also made him determined to transfer the Fifth Army into the Fifth War Zone and fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Xinyang.

The sound of gongs and drums and excited cheers on the street passed through the closed windows and invaded the room, but the air inside was very tense. Zhuang Jihua, who was furious, was staring at Song Yunfei fiercely, who stood straight in the middle of the office. Gong Xiuhua and Wu Ziniu, and Li Anding stood aside with a little awkwardness.

"Don't persuade him! I think he is proud! His mind was knocked out by victory!" Zhuang Jihua felt very sad about Song Yunfei's misjudgment, causing the death of Guo Yaoshi and the other three. Song Yunfei has always been the person he feels most at ease, but he did not expect that such a serious mistake would occur this time.

"You don't know the reason why a arrogant soldier will be defeated!" Zhuang Jihua's tone rose again, Ji Yunfei looked straight and said nothing: "What are you thinking about here!"

"Cultural Revolution, haven't you said that there will be sacrifices when there is battle," Gong Xiuhua advised again. She didn't expect that Zhuang Jihua would get such a big furious thing, which has never been before.

"Sacrifice is not sacrificed like this. Every soldier in the special forces is a treasure. I won't replace it if I buy a regiment for it." Zhuang Jihua knocked on the table and shouted loudly: "If he could calm down and use his brain a little, Guo Yaoshi and the others would not have sacrificed!"

"The Cultural Revolution, the matter has happened, please take me." Li Anding also came over to persuade. He didn't know the nature of the special forces, but he knew that Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu were Zhuang Jihua's two most capable subordinates and their closest subordinates. They were closer than their classmates. When they were in Guangzhou, Wu Ziniu was scolded. However, Song Yunfei had never enjoyed such treatment. Now Zhuang Jihua is so angry that he does not give Song Yunfei face.

In Li Anding's opinion, Song Yunfei was wrong, but the mistake was not so serious. I'm afraid the real reason why Zhuang Jihua got angry was still unhappy, especially Wang Mingzhang's death made him feel angry.

"Bai Chang was so big, and thought it was enough to fight. I told you a long time ago that the ability of special forces to fight was only a low level. The most important thing is to use your brain, and you must be able to use your brain." Zhuang Jihua scolded him again, and felt smoke in his throat. He picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip.

"In the Cultural Revolution, Yun Fei and the others finally completed the task. They should have made contributions. If you do this, he will be a little dissatisfied with the failure of his achievements and even more so.

"My merit is merit, and I am talking about his mistakes. Zhuang Jihua said coldly: "Don't plead for him. After winning a few battles, I don't know how much you have. No one looks down on me. Now the result is coming out, it's so good!"

"Stupid!" Zhuang Jihua's roar could be heard throughout the floor, and the staff outside were trembling. The seemingly kind-hearted manager of the camp started anger but was so terrifying.

After a while, Zhuang Jihua sighed and said sadly: "The pharmacist is gone, Wang Mingzhang is gone, who will be the next turn? Yu Yi, I will leave Yun Fei in western Yunnan, and this team of people are also here. Colonel Song Yunfei, I will give you two years. You must be responsible for handing me a new special forces. This force must be familiar with the mountain jungles of Myanmar, the customs and customs here, and know how to fight.

"Yes, Bei Zhi understood that Song Yunfei saluted and turned around and left. Zhuang Jihua called him again: "Come back, where are you going?"

Song Yunfei turned around calmly and said, "I'll go brothers."

Zhuang Jihua said in silence: "I will give you a month's vacation, go back to Chongqing, your son, and go to the Western Yunnan Office in a month to report to Commissioner Li.

“Yes, thank you for being long ago”

After Song Yunfei went out, Li Anding shook his head slightly, and he was very happy. Zhuang Jihua sent Song Yunfei here, which shows that he has no doubt about the battle in Myanmar and also attaches great importance to it. With this right-hand man, isn’t it a piece of cake to eliminate the bandits around him?

Gong Xiuzhou and Wu Ziniu smiled at each other. Although Zhuang Jihua scolded him fiercely, his final treatment was very light. Song Yunfei came to western Yunnan to fight against the future Myanmar.

"Yuyi, I have also seen all counties in western Yunnan. I will go to Panzhihua tomorrow. Here I will tell you a few shortcomings. You can sit down." Zhuang Jihua breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to Li Anding and said, "First of all, the traffic is still open. Sun Nan is now open, but the vertical and horizontal are not enough, so the road needs to be built; Second, the national cadre school should be built as soon as possible; Third, after Yun Fei comes, don't put the task of suppressing bandits on him, his task is mainly aimed at Myanmar; Fourth, the more new recruits, the better, but don't send them to the front line easily. I am fighting for the new unit number, and it should be coming down soon. Yunnan needs to form two more troops, and 100,000 troops are asking for monthly votes to support them.
