    According to the plan made in advance, the 116th Division divided its troops into three groups, with the 109th Regiment as the right group. On the night of April 11, its first brigade launched an advance into the Dahua and Guidong areas and carried out a sneak attack.  Xuefeng Mountain Pass.  On the evening of April 13th, the main force of the regiment set out from Fenglinpu and Huoshaoping west of Baoqing and Chishuiling and Shimajiang near the northwest. After successfully attacking the garrison of the National Army's 100th Army, they were already heading towards  To the northwest, along Jutianpu, Tongmuchong, Liping, Shunshuiqiao, Tangxiaqiao, Muqiaobian, Yangong Temple, Ma'anjie, Wushuxia, Shanshu'ao, Yanggu'ao, Simenqian and Shiqiaopu  , Jimatang arrived at Manghuaping.  After that, they will proceed from Xiaoshajiang, advance to Majiang, Dahua, and Guidong to capture Longtan Town, in order to control the pass in the northern part of the Xuefeng Mountain area and prepare to annihilate the main force of the Central Army of the Nationalist Army near the entrance of the cave.

    The second line of the 116th Division is with the 133rd Regiment as the middle line. It is preparing to set off from Huangjiatang to the north and Fenglinpu to the west near Baoqing on the night of April 15th to defeat the defenders along the way.  After that, Shanmen Town, about 20 kilometers northeast of Dongkou City, was captured. The route of the westward attack was roughly along Xiaotang, Qingjiang Temple, Sanxi, Matoushan, Yankou, Majiazhuang, Dingshan, Maping to Huaqiao.  After capturing Shanmen Town, make preparations to annihilate the main force of the Central Army near the entrance of the cave.

    The 120th Regiment of Matsushita Yasujiro was on the left. On the night of April 13, the main force set off from Jiugongdu in the southwest of Baoqing to the Huanghuaping and Yinxianqiao areas west of Zijiang, along the Shaoyu Highway.  March westward from Baoqing to Dongkou Highway, capture Longhui, Taohuaping, Longtanpu, Gaosha Town, Tea Pu to Dongkou City, and prepare to annihilate the main force of the Central Army in this area.  In addition, its second brigade crossed the Fuyi River from Tangdu, sixty miles southwest of Baoqing. As the left detachment of the division, it prepared to move along Shuanglong Bridge, Huangting City, Jiangdong Bridge, Mishanpu, Long  Congqiao, Huangqiao Town, Ma'anshi line, and the main force of the regiment captured Gaosha City and Dongkou City.

    The headquarters of the 116th Division followed the 133rd Regiment in the middle.

    It can be seen from these three lines of attack that the 120th Regiment of Matsushita Yaijiro is actually responsible for the main attack mission, because everyone knows that the Shaoyu Highway line must be the focus of the national army's defense, and the capture of the cave entrance  The city has also become the top priority of this attack.

    When the 116th Division began to attack, Lieutenant General Ichiro Banishi had already arrived at Baoqing and commanded the other two groups to attack westward. The 47th Division on the North Road was not all in place at this time, and only one important  The 131st Regiment of Colonel Guangsan Ma advanced westward from Yongfeng to the battlefield, but was blocked by the 73rd National Army in the Xinhua and Lantian areas. It could no longer advance westward, and faced the Nationalist Army.  The 73rd Army's powerful offensive forced them to retreat.

    At the same time, two regiments of the 58th Brigade of Kyutaro Sekine in the south also attacked Xinning westward from Dong'an County. The attached 217th Regiment of the 34th Division of the 11th Japanese Army  The team also attacked Xinning from Zizi County, Guangxi.  After the Japanese troops converged on this road, they were pointing towards Wugang.  The 44th Division of the 26th Army of the Third Front was defending in the direction of Xinning, and the 58th Division of the 74th Army was defending in the Wugang direction.

    In order to cope with the Zhijiang Operation, starting from April 13th, the elite Eighteenth Army of the National Army, which was contained in the Changde and Yiyang areas, followed the orders of Lieutenant General Ichiro Banishi and the Japanese Sixty-fourth Division stationed in Yuanjiang City.  The 69th Brigade launched an attack on Yiyang and Taojiang. Although they captured Yiyang and Taojiang, they quickly withdrew from Taojiang for fear of being surrounded alone.  There was never anything more than an intrusive attack there.

    ****************

    Matsushita Yasujiro led his 120th Regiment, which was the last regiment of the 116th Division to set off from Baoqing. At this time, the 133rd Regiment was returning to fight with the 100th Army of the National Army.  The defenders of a regiment of the 19th Division fought fiercely. The 120th Regiment attacked from the east, and the national army defenders abandoned their defense and retreated.

    The 109th Regiment attacking from the north seems to be progressing smoothly. The arrogant commander of the regiment, Colonel Ryuuji, and the commander of the 133rd Regiment, Colonel Kagawa, are graduates of the sergeant academy at the same time. They are a few years younger than themselves, but they are also regarded as  Yasujiro Matsushita, the captain of the upper alliance, was very dissatisfied. However, in the Battle of Hengyang, his performance was far inferior to Colonel Matsushita's performance, so he was very dissatisfied with Iwa'ewang's favoritism to Matsushita. Now that there is a new division commander  , that was an opportunity to perform greatly, so this time in the Zhijiang battle, he only thought about his ability to overpower the next one and become the leader in the 116th Division.

    The 109th Regiment had captured Luojiaao on the 14th, Taiyuan Village in Baima Mountain on the 15th, Ma'anjie on the 16th, and then on the 17th, they were storming Wushuxia.

    At this time, under the joint forces of the Panasonic Regiment and the 133 Regiment, Longhui and Taohuaping to the west were also attacked. This was the first attack by Matsushita Yasujiro since the entire battle.  ?The instrument was very interested. He touched the trembling antenna and asked his leader: "Captain, can this thing really help us call the planes in the sky to come over?"

    Zhang Xian pursed his lips to Paul and said, "It all depends on his ability!"

    Paul also used Zhang Xian's confident tone just now and told him: "Of course! If you don't believe it, just wait and see!"

    Zhang Xian and Wei Lengzi both laughed.

    ?******************

    Matsushita Seijiro looked at the peaceful other side of the river through the telescope. He hesitated a little. The other side of the river was a very good defensive position. Why was there no trace of the Chinese army?  For the sake of safety, he divided his troops into three groups. According to the original plan, the second brigade was led by captain Wada, with about 1,500 people attacking Huangqiao Town in the upper reaches of Zijiang from the south road; the third brigade followed the original plan.  The highway crosses the Xiyang River and goes straight to Shijiang Town, the downstream crossing of the Pingxi River, which also has a population of more than 1,500 people.  And he led the regiment's headquarters to follow the first brigade and went straight to Longtanpu Ferry. This was the main force, with more than 2,000 people, and he also led a mountain artillery squadron and a baggage squadron.  According to his plan, if there is the main force of the national army opposite Longtanpu, then after the third brigade of the North Road captures Shijiang Town, they can move south and join the first brigade to attack the national army in the direction of Longtanpu.  The Third Battalion can definitely complete the task, because he placed a tank squadron and a cavalry squadron allocated to the 120th Regiment in that direction. There is no reason why the Third Battalion cannot attack Shijiang.  After the first brigade and the third brigade merge, they can run westward to Gaosha Town according to the original plan, and then join the second brigade to form a threat to Dongkou City and Wugang City. In this way, firstly, they can cooperate with the South Road  The Guangen detachment attacked Wugang. Secondly, it could cooperate with the 133rd Regiment of the 116th Division to capture Shanmen Town and form a north-south pincer attack on the entrance of the cave.

    For the sake of safety, before crossing the river, Matsushita Seijiro ordered the artillery to conduct tentative bombardments on the bamboo forest on the other side of the river. He fired some sporadic artillery fire, but did not see any movement on the other side, so he issued the order to cross the river.  Order.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
