Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Yang Sen was also unambiguous. The three divisions leading the battle were all his starting troops - the No. 20 Army, and his intention to compete with Yu Jishi for the first victory was self-evident.

Speaking of Yang Sen, he is also a well-known figure, quite legendary. In history, he has gone through historical periods such as the Revolution of [-], the War to Protect the Country, the War of Warlords, and the War of Resistance Against Japan. , Boss Chen, and Ho Chi Minh's just actions, and they also colluded with Wu Peifu to sabotage the revolution and actively followed the Chairman to fight the civil war.

The most unforgivable thing is that he personally created the "Pingjiang tragedy" that shocked the world in 1939, resulting in the brutal killing of more than a dozen high-level cadres in the Pingjiang New Fourth Army. Among them, there were eight brothers from a family member of the Red Army who were actually killed six.

Of course, this is just history. Because of Jiang Haoran's arrival, the entire area of ​​Jiangxi belongs to his No.40 Army's defense zone. Therefore, the Pingjiang tragedy did not happen, and there was no way to talk about civil war. This also made Yang Sen's future bright. .

In fact, despite these historical stains, Yang Sen still made great achievements in the frontal anti-Japanese battlefield, and he can be regarded as a general.Since the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance in 1937, he led the No. 20th Army with more than [-] Sichuan troops lacking guns and ammunition, wearing bamboo hats, and straw sandals, marched out of Sichuan on foot, and participated in the Battle of Songhu, Wuhan, three Changsha battles, and Changsha. Heng battle and many other battles.

The greatest achievements are the battle of Songhu and the third battle of Changsha.

In the battle of Songhu, he was the first motley army to arrive at the battlefield. The whole army held the position with more than [-] casualties in the bloody battle for five days and nights, and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army. One of the five most capable troops in the battle.

In the third battle of Changsha, Yang Sen completely annihilated a brigade of the 9th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army in Zhuying Mountain on the way to intercept the retreat of the Japanese army.

But Yang Sen is most famous for his "sex" name. He has many wives and concubines and has many children. There are twelve publicly known wives and concubines, known as "Twelve Hairpins", with more than 40 children.

Yang Sen can do as he pleases, but he is very strict with his wives and concubines.He has a wide variety of family rules, such as stipulating that he must get up early every morning, wear uniforms and belts, and be led by an adjutant to go out for exercises, rain or shine.After breakfast, there is still a regular class with a strict schedule. You must learn ancient Chinese, learn English, and play the piano. You must not be absent from class without reason.If there is any offense, Yang Sen will be whipped, which is called "full house".Regarding these, Yang Sen was quite proud of himself. He introduced his experience to other warlords many times, and said brazenly: "I practice militarized management. Otherwise, how can the people in the house be controlled?"

In a sense, beauty is tantamount to hiding misfortune for women.Even under Yang Sen's strict control, there are still frequent jokes about his wife and concubine cheating on her.

In the valley two miles away from the north bank of Liangzi Lake, a tent stood quietly, and there were no lights anywhere, but under the dim moonlight, there were bright posts and secret posts everywhere. This was the headquarters of the No. 30 Ninth Division of the Japanese Army.

The national army's night sky reconnaissance plane is so powerful that even the division headquarters can only hide in the dark of the dense forest.Although there was no light outside, the largest tent in the center was brightly lit, and staff officers and generals shuttled through it, creating a tense and busy scene.

Lieutenant General Keisaku Murakami, head of the No. 30 Ninth Division of the Japanese Army, was pacing back and forth in the tent with a dark face. The sudden sound of gunfire just now made him feel like an ant on a hot pot. Follow the news ahead.

Block the attack of the two army groups of the national army with the strength of one division?The pressure on Keisaku Murakami is not insignificant, but he is fortunate that he is not facing Jiang Haoran's troops. The current imperial army is simply not talking about the No. 40 Army, and Keisaku Murakami is no exception.

Apart from this factor, Keisaku Murakami is a little relieved because of the unique terrain in this area. Although the entire defense line area is not small, there are many lakes connected, so there are only three roads leading to Wuhan. The roads are narrow and rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack. .

And on these three main roads, the imperial army has already occupied a favorable location and built complete fortifications. As long as these three main roads are guarded, the entire line of defense can basically be guaranteed without any worries, unless the national army has enough ships to cross the lake, which is almost impossible Not to mention the ships, when the imperial army retreated, even the beds and door panels of ordinary people’s houses were concentrated and destroyed. The nearby trees have been cut down because of the urban construction in the past few years. The nearest ones are probably only dozens of miles away. Yes, when the national army cut down the trees and then built the boat, three or four days had basically passed, and Keisaku Murakami's task was to hold the line of defense for four days, and when they built the boat, he could basically retreat.

The 39th Division is a Class B division with two brigades and four regiments under its jurisdiction. It was formed in 1939. The biggest battle it fought was the Zaoyi Battle launched at the beginning of this year. This is a battle against northern Hubei. The Fifth War Zone carried out a large-scale sweeping campaign, taking advantage of the fact that Jiang Haoran was still imprisoned in the White Mansion in Chongqing, and the imperial army wanted to take advantage of this to solve the threat to the north of Wuhan.

In this campaign, the No.30 Ninth Division became famous in the first battle, annihilating the headquarters of the No.30 Third Army of the National Army, resulting in the death of a generation of famous general Zhang Zizhong in Changshan, ten miles north of Hubei.Although this campaign did not achieve the goal of completely annihilating the Fifth Theater, it dealt heavy damage to it. Keisaku Murakami was also promoted from major general to lieutenant general after this campaign.

While waiting anxiously, Keisaku Murakami finally received the news from the front that the national army launched a fierce attack on the three defense lines at the same time, but what broke him the most was that countless bamboo rafts appeared on the water of Liangzi Lake and Lu Lake. , In such a wide water area, with bamboo rafts, landings can be made everywhere, and the entire defense line can basically be said to be riddled with holes.

"Baga, Bagaya Road!" Keisaku Murakami roared while waving his fists, but he did not lose his mind. He immediately ordered the situation to be reported to the headquarters of the [-]th Army, and informed that the defense line could no longer be held, and the troops could only retreat immediately and enter street fighting Otherwise, the troops will immediately be surrounded by Zhina's army.

Keisaku Murakami didn't even wait for the headquarters to call back, and immediately ordered the troops to retreat to the city in an orderly manner and prepare for street fighting.A line of defense that had been painstakingly built turned out to be in vain. It was defeated by the national army. From retreat to deployment of defense, it failed to hold for two days. Want to rely on street fighting to hold on for another two days?In the case of completely unequal military strength, it is simply extremely difficult, and Keisaku Murakami has a headache thinking about it.
