Chapter 193: Capture Jiujiang

More than 100 tanks and armored vehicles were moving in accordance with the marching formation that Shen Ruili found. At this time, they rushed forward with all their might. On the road leading to Nanchang, soldiers from the 136th Japanese Brigade were marching quickly. At this time, a roar of a motor was faintly heard, and Xiangjing was ordered by Major General to stop advancing. The vanguards sent rushed over quickly, "The General found the Chinese armored corps in front of him."

The major general took a breath, but could not reveal his worries in his heart. He pretended to be calm and shouted: "What are the Chinese people's tanks and armored vehicles, and their armored vehicles are very old equipment, and the thickness of the armor is not as good as the Type 95 tanks of our empire."

After saying that, he ordered the Chief of Staff, "order the troops to form a combat formation, the artillery immediately set up positions, and prepare to concentrate artillery against the tanks of the Chinese people."

Before the Japanese had fully set up their formation, a rolling ray of sandstorm swept across the sky. The Chinese armored corps immediately launched a combat formation, marching and firing artillery at the same time, with a distance of at least 2 kilometers. The ** tanks were far away and the tank shells exploded on the Japanese defense line, which did not cause much damage to the Japanese soldiers, but only caused some commotion from the Japanese army.

The Japanese artillery began to test the fire, and the messy shells fell loosely on the ** tank marched into the marching group. The distance between the vehicles was widened, so that the Japanese artillery shells did not have much effect. Shen Ruili ordered in the tank to "concentrate firepower and rush over". The ** tanks and armored vehicles increased the accelerator, made a deafening roar, and rushed towards the highway with a rumbling sound. The Japanese artillery shells fell more and more densely on the ** armored groups, and the ** tanks and armored vehicles mastered the speed well. As the distance got closer, the flames spitted by the tank guns became brighter and brighter, and the artillery shells fell accurately on the Japanese army and artillery positions. The machine guns on the armored vehicles shot at the Japanese army like water splashing, and the fan-shaped firepower net kept pushing the Japanese army down.

The ** armored corps crashed into the Japanese crowd with firepower and speed, and the Japanese soldiers retreated to both sides. The ** machine guns roared "dada" and hit the Japanese soldiers with slow legs in rows. Shen Ruili's mission was not to fight the Japanese, but to advance into Jiujiang. Therefore, Shen Ruili repeatedly ordered the accelerator to rush over.

The ** armored regiment concentrated its strength and rushed violently. The Japanese artillery position was 2,000 meters behind the infantry. When the ** armored vehicles and tanks collided into the Japanese crowd, the Japanese artillery shells completely lost their function. He watched his infantry be chased and beaten by the ** armored convoy. The Japanese infantry had retreated more than 2,000 meters of the highway, and the infantry's light weapons almost did not threaten the ** armored convoy. In 20 minutes, the Chinese armored soldiers highlighted the Japanese army's marching formation. Regiment Commander Shen Ruili excitedly commanded his convoy all the way north.

Yue Hanping commanded his three infantry divisions to attack the entire line of the Japanese to the Ike brigade. On the front line of Xiaoguling, the 136th Japanese Brigade was forced to move into full defense. After hearing the front line, Lieutenant General Kawaakaji, the commander of the 106th Division, felt dizzy and his offensive was completely contained. Once a tug-of-war was formed, the 106th Division could not withstand the attacks of several elite troops. He quickly reported the battle situation to Lieutenant General Okamura.

When Shen Ruili arrived at De'an City, he did not attack the city, but detoured from the periphery of De'an. After the highway from De'an to Nanchang was occupied by the Japanese army, the Japanese army repaired it and the road conditions were quite good. Commander Shen Ruili calmly commanded his troops to advance north as quickly as possible. Company Commander Jiang Weiguo excitedly drove the tank on the wide and strong road. "**, the Japanese are really working hard, and this road is really nothing to say. It's cheap."

The Japanese planes reconnaissed the De'an line. The pioneer armored vehicle heard the sound of plane motors faintly from the sky and immediately issued an air raid alarm. Shen Ruili directed his convoy to dock nearby and put on a camouflage net. Tanks and armored vehicles drove into a wood on the side of the road. After the car was parked, the soldiers jumped out of the vehicle and pulled up the camouflage net.

Soon the sound of the plane circling outside the woods. Shen Ruili secretly arranged an air defense machine gun team just in case. The Japanese plane lowered its altitude and circled for a few circles. The sharp-eyed Japanese pilot found that there were marks of tanks and armored vehicles on the ground, but it disappeared outside the woods. The Japanese pilot immediately hovered over the woods, and the wings of the plane were almost against the top of the branches. The Japanese pilot threw a few bombs into the woods. The "Boom Boom Bo" shells fell into the woods. The woods were silent and there was no resistance. Only the thick smoke from the explosion of the shells slowly floated up from the woods.

Somehow the Japanese pilot was in trouble. Could it be that the ** armored regiment was not here? I was worried, and the pilot circled over the woods for a few more times, but still found nothing.

The Japanese plane flew back helplessly. In the woods, two armored vehicles were blown up and one tank was blown up. Shen Ruili looked at the smoke-filled damaged vehicles anxiously, "What should I do? These vehicles were just blown up and can be used as long as they are repaired."

Jiang Weiguo frowned, "Captain, why don't you dig a big hole and bury these vehicles and dig them out when we withdraw them." Shen Ruili nodded, "I don't have time to repair it, so I can only do this."

The soldiers quickly dug a large pit, and dig one end of the pit into an incline, slowly driving the injured tanks and armored vehicles into the pit and stopped. The armored regiment cleaned up and immediately drove out of the woods and drove to Jiujiang in a mighty way. Chuanakaji looked at the plane's reconnaissance information and couldn't help but frown. Could it be that the Chinese army was attacking De'an? Suddenly, the lieutenant general was sweating in a cold sweat. The Chinese people in Jiujiang must be Jiujiang.

The lieutenant general only felt a chill on his back. There were only 600 people guarding Jiujiang, and there were almost no soldiers on his hand to fight against the armored soldiers. How could the Chinese army be so strong in this offensive in northern Jiangxi? Lieutenant General Okamura was shocked when he received the battle report from the 106th Division. His 6th Division rushed to the Wuning line in northern Jiangxi from Yueyang. How could he still have the ability to attack? According to this view, it should be that the 106th Division should be used to deal with the 106th Division. Lieutenant General Okamura could not believe this fact. One division of the Japanese army dared to invite a corps, which was at least equivalent to two armies. Unbelievable, one young army of the Chinese army dared to fight against the Imperial Army and one division.

Yichang had been occupied by the Japanese army. Chen Cheng knew in his heart that he could not defend Yichang anymore, and it seemed that he had to prepare early. So he deployed his direct 18th Army on the Shipailing line in the west of Yichang City. Relying on the dangerous terrain on both sides of the Three Gorges and Gorges River in the Yangtze River, he built solid fortifications to block the Japanese army's westward advance. Suixian and Zaoyang were just feinted the direction of attack. Now his goal has clearly told the Chinese that there is no need to drag the two divisions there in vain. Order the 101st Division to turn south, defend Anlu and Zhongxiang, and cover the flanks of the Yichang siege corps. The division urgently returned to northern Jiangxi, and Jiujiang could not be lost.

Luo Zhuoying strictly ordered the 74th Army to capture the positions west of De'an and attack Jiujiang with the young army. The 58th Division of the 74th Army, regardless of the heavy casualties, launched a counterattack overnight, and finally repelled a Japanese army in front of him. The entire 74th Army cut into the Minshan Mountain between De'an and Jiujiang, and completed the task of surrounding Jiujiang from the periphery.

The 4th Army was broken through the defense line by the 6th Division of the Japanese Army in Wuning with poison gas bombs. The entire army was forced to retreat and connected with the 8th Army to fight against the fierce attack of the Japanese army. Luo Zhuoying immediately noticed the subtle changes in the battlefield situation and urgently called the Youth Army to inform the enemy situation in person, and asked the Youth Army to attack Jiujiang as soon as possible. When the 6th Division of the Japanese Army arrived, even if it captured Jiujiang, it would not be conducive to defense.

Yue Hanping held Luo Zhuoying's telegram and kept spinning in the headquarters. Yue Ling stood quietly by his desk, not daring to interrupt his thoughts. Suddenly, his steps stopped, walked quickly to the table, and said to Yue Ling: "Check me the commander Luo Youlun of the 203rd Division." Huang Yueling immediately called the 203rd Division, and handed the microphone to Yue Hanping after the phone was connected.

"Teacher Luo, I am Yue Hanping." Yue Hanping said loudly.

"Captain, do you have any instructions?" Luo Youlun asked on the other side of the phone.

"Let me listen to me. Commander Luo Zhuoying urgently called and ordered our troops to seize Jiujiang. Now we are being dragged by the Japanese in Xiaoguling. I am determined to let your 203rd Division restrain the Japanese. In 201 and 202, the two divisions detoured in the Japanese positions at night and seize Jiujiang as soon as possible. You are under great pressure. You must not let the Japanese turn around and bite me, nor can you let the Japanese eat you. Are you confident?" Although Yue Hanping asked, he had no negotiation tone.

Luo Youlun heard the firmness and decisiveness in the commander's tone and replied loudly: "Please rest assured that my 203rd Division will definitely complete the task."

Yue Hanping put down the phone and said to Huang Yueling: "Yueling, send a report." Huang Yueling opened the notebook she carried with her and recorded, "Captain Shen Ruili of the Armored Regiment, how is your unit progressing? The 201st Division and the 202nd Division followed up to attack Jiujiang. I have sent special forces into the city to respond in advance. Please feel free to siege the city boldly."

Situ Fei's "Dragon Teeth" special forces had only about 300. This time, he personally took action and led a hundred people to sneak into Jiujiang City. He secretly figured out the distribution of the Japanese troops and the Japanese military warehouse, as well as the bank vault controlled by the Japanese army.

Shen Ruili's armored regiment arrived at a town 20 miles outside Jiujiang City on the morning of September 12 and contacted the radio station of "Dragon Ya". Situ Fei agreed that when the armored regiment attacked the city, his special forces began to destroy the city and cooperate with the armored soldiers to fight.
