Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Ananwei blushed a few times, and a look of pain flashed through his eyes, and he said in a low tone after a long time: "Yes, I was indeed in command of that battle. The Jiangxi border and Changzhou retreated to the rear, and the two divisions of the Seventh Army of the No. 20 First Army rushed to Zhejiang at night to occupy Wuxing and set up defenses to cover the westward retreat of the Chongqing government army. Their troops arrived half a day before the imperial army. Wuxing, the troops spread out horizontally along the Shanghai-Nanjing Highway, and set up four lines of defense in Nanxun, Shengshan, Wuxing County, and Lijia Lane behind Wuxing to block the imperial army. At 50 o'clock in the afternoon, the imperial army's sixth and first The [-]st and [-]th Division advanced to Nanxun, and then launched an attack on the Seventh Army. The imperial army wiped out one regiment with the casualties of one squadron, but failed to move forward. The soldiers of the Seventh Army resisted desperately regardless of casualties. The next day, the Imperial Army urgently dispatched the Tank Wing, and opened the way with more than [-] tanks and armored vehicles. They crushed all the way, and then tore through the enemy's defense line and successfully advanced to Shengshan. However, the resistance did not stop there. The Imperial Army attacked in multiple ways. , roundabout and outflanking, tanks and heavy artillery took turns to fight, and only took Shengshan in the evening, but did not expect that at night, the Seventh Army actually launched a large-scale night attack on the imperial army, and took back Shengshan overnight, allowing the imperial army The troops had to be redeployed the next day, and the attack was launched again. It was not until the morning of the third day that Shengshan was completely defeated, but the real resistance was still in Wuxing. For three days, after three days of fighting, Wuxing city was full of corpses and blood. Chenghe, the imperial army's planes, tanks, heavy artillery, and soldiers charged and attacked again and again, turning Wuxing City into a ruin, but the Seventh Army still used the only ruins to entangle with the imperial army and still resisted for a day. This campaign caused The imperial army suffered nearly [-] casualties, and the two divisions of the imperial army were delayed for seven days, allowing the troops withdrawn from the Songhu battlefield by the Chongqing government army to escape smoothly. This battle was the biggest humiliating battle in my military career. Because it harmed the reputation of the imperial army, it was kept secret.

After Anan just finished speaking, his gloomy face and blurred eyes made one wonder that his mind had returned to that unbearable battle again.

The generals in the headquarters were also silent because of this secret history. This is a shame to the imperial army, and it is also a shame to them. After a long time, a lieutenant officer broke the silence and asked: "Your Excellency, I think two of the Seventh Army The division should have been wiped out in this battle, right?"

Anan looked up at him a few times before replying after a long time: "No, they retreated in the dark, and the remaining troops of the two divisions are estimated to be less than two regiments, but the imperial army lost this battle.

"Hehe!" Because the atmosphere in the room was a bit dull, Kinoshita laughed and stood up, saying: "Everyone, these are the past history, the imperial army still controls most of China, and the soldiers have already pointed directly at Southeast Asia. It belongs to the imperial army, and one battle is not enough to explain anything, but it is worth facing our enemy squarely, and we cannot let this kind of vicious incident happen again because of our underestimation of the enemy and misjudgment."

Kinoshita's words were very energetic, and there was a clamor in the house, and the slogan that the imperial army must win was loud, and then they began to return to the topic, drawing up a plan to send troops to reinforce Xinyang. There was no arrogance in the deployment, it was completely It's like facing a big enemy.

At this moment, a staff officer came in a hurry and reported that the special high school had sent an urgent message. According to investigations, the leader of Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek, had arrived in Changsha this morning.

The headquarters was in an uproar, and they all speculated about the purpose of Chiang Kai-shek's trip.Originally, it was not shocking news that the leader of Chongqing came to Changsha, but the timing of his arrival happened to coincide with the time when the troops of the Guangxi Army and the Eighth Route Army were active on the Ping-Han Railway Line, so people had to connect the two, but still No one suggested that they wanted to counterattack Wuhan.

Obviously, the Yunnan-Burma Highway was cut off, and all the supplies came in on a hump route. Even though there were thousands of planes going back and forth on this route, it was carrying the daily necessities of hundreds of millions of people in a country. , the share used for war is a very small part, and the scarcity of weapons and ammunition has not reached the critical point of running out, I am afraid it is not much worse.Of course, except for the No.40 Army, the 331 Base produces and sells itself without foreign aid at all, and the small number of arsenals of the Chongqing government is simply negligible.

For such a big battle against Wuhan, the consumption of strategic materials, weapons and ammunition can be described in astronomical figures. It is simply impossible for a No. 40 Army or Base 331 to support it. Once the battle reaches a stalemate or the time is prolonged One point, the only war reserves of the national army will be exhausted, and the entire army will face the terrifying situation of bayonets. Counterattack Wuhan.

But the Japanese army did not expect that all of this was within their imagination. The size of the 331 base has exceeded their imagination. In the past two years, Jiang Haoran has taken advantage of the convenience of controlling the Shunchang Trading Company, and has successively added several The production lines for artillery, guns and ammunition are all state-of-the-art assembly lines. Its scale may not be as large as that of Wuhan Hanyang Arsenal, but its productivity is already several times that of Hanyang Arsenal, and the stockpiles of weapons and ammunition are already sufficient to cope The battle in front of us.

In the headquarters, the guesswork was still unresolved, and the telegrams from the special high-level courses came one after another. First, the two barracks in Changsha city were empty at some point, and the troops disappeared, and then Hengyang, Xiangtan, Shaoyang, Jishou and other places It was discovered that the national army was moving rapidly towards Changsha.

This news was no less than a thunderbolt from a clear sky, and everyone in the headquarters was stunned with cold hands and feet. When all the news was gathered, no matter how much Ananwei believed it or not, the truth of the Chongqing government army's counterattack against Wuhan was already coming out.

"Quick, hurry up, tell Yueyang, Tongcheng, Xiushui, De'an, Huangshan, and Xinyang that all troops will immediately enter the first-level combat readiness state and start defending!" Ananweiji waved his short arms and roared frantically, making people The headquarters was in a panic all of a sudden.

Radio waves were released from the headquarters in an instant. In less than half an hour, all the troops on the whole line, up to the headquarters of the China Expeditionary Force in Nanjing, and even Neiji Okamura in North China had already known the news.

After finishing all this, Anan sat down heavily, the throbbing in his heart still could not be calmed down, he knew that once Jiang Haoran came back, nothing good would happen, all of this could only be his arrangement, to be honest, the fifth The troops in the war zone and Chapter 9, Anan Weiji hadn't paid much attention to them. It was Jiang Haoran and his No.40 Army that really made him afraid.
