When Xia Yang said these things, he had a kind of determination and confidence from the bottom of his heart, which made them start to believe that the Japanese army might really launch an attack according to what Xia Yang said.
However, Lin Shaowei said at this time: "Commander Xia, everything you said is basically just speculation. In the final analysis, how the Japanese army will attack will not be finalized until the Japanese army actually starts attacking. "
Xia Yang nodded and said: "Yes, everything I said is based on my speculation. But if I were the commander of the Japanese Tenth Division, Rensuke Isotani, I might really do this."
As they were talking like this, a guard hurried in from outside and said loudly: "Reporting to the Division, the news just came from the General Headquarters. Jiaxiang County to the north of us is being attacked by the Japanese army. Commander-in-Chief An urgent call was sent, ordering us to immediately support Jiaxiang County."
Hearing this, everyone in the division headquarters focused their attention on Xia Yang.
Because in Xia Yang's analysis just now, he mentioned that the place where the Japanese army might attack was Jiaxiang County.
"Say it again." Lin Shaowei seemed to have not heard clearly and asked the soldier to repeat it.
The soldier shouted loudly: "The Japanese army is attacking Jiaxiang County. Commander-in-Chief, let us immediately support the Third Army in Jiaxiang County and help them resist the Japanese attack."
After listening to these orders, Lin Shaowei took a deep breath. When he looked at Xia Yang, his eyes had turned to wonder and admiration.
Among the first directions in which the Japanese army might attack, Xia Yang guessed the real direction of the Japanese army's attack with almost no suspense.
"Didn't you hear clearly? Pack up your armaments immediately, assemble your troops, and prepare to support Jiaxiang County." Lin Shaowei ordered loudly.
Hearing this, the officers in the entire command headquarters walked outside one after another.
Just when Xia Yang was about to leave, Lin Shaowei stopped him and said: "Commander Xia, this time I let you blind cat hit a dead mouse, but the Japanese army may not march according to the attack route you guessed, as you imagined. "
Xia Yang said: "Then let's wait and see! After saying this, the two of them left in a hurry and returned to the Fourth Brigade."
Before receiving the order from the Commander-in-Chief, the various units of the 178th Division had already prepared for battle, because the Japanese army may attack at any time, and they could not wait until the Japanese army started to attack before starting pre-war mobilization.
It is precisely because of this that the troops of the 178th Division began to advance towards Jiaxiang County the day after receiving this order.
At this time, the Third Army stationed in Jiaxiang County had received a secret report from Xia Yang and others in the previous few days, saying that the Japanese army was likely to make them the primary target of attack.
It is precisely because of this that the soldiers of the Third Group Army built a defense line overnight to stabilize the defense of Jiaxiang County.
The first wave of Japanese attacks began at noon on February 28, 1938.
Although they had the advantage of focusing on firepower, the defenders in Jiaxiang County were well prepared and relied on the trenches outside the county to successfully withstand the first wave of Japanese attacks.
Not only that, the Japanese army began to encircle Jiaxiang County by relying on their own strength. Judging from the intentions of the Japanese army, they will spend a lot of effort to attack Jiaxiang County and strive to capture the county seat.
On the day when the large army set out, Xia Yang was a little surprised that this time, Lin Shaowei actually placed himself at the back of the entire team.
Lin Shaowei arranged the fourth brigade at the rear, naturally not because he was worried about Xia Yang's safety, or for the purpose of protecting the fourth brigade, but to prevent this credit from falling into Xia Yang's hands.
Xia Yang¡¯s previous analysis seemed to Lin Shaowei to be reasonable. Although he was unwilling to admit it, Lin Shaowei still chose to believe Xia Yang.
He also firmly believed that the Japanese army could not attack Jiaxiang County where the Third Army was stationed, and he supported Jiaxiang County as a reinforcement, even if he could not annihilate a large number of Japanese troops in the battle with the Japanese army.
But once the siege of Jiaxiang County is lifted by the Japanese army, he will have a share in the post-war rewards, no matter what.
Lin Shaowei naturally didn't want Xia Yang and his Fourth Brigade to pick up such a bargain.
So the one that moved forward was the 178-year-old Third Brigade, and the other two combat groups belonged only to Lin Shaowei. The artillery battalion followed them.
Behind the artillery battalion is Huang Chuan's 132nd Regiment. He was transferred to the 178th Division from outside and was not considered to be Lin Shaowei's unit. Naturally, it was also arranged in the rear.
?As for Xia Yang's troops, they were used to rear, behind Huang Chuan's 132nd Regiment.
Xia Yang was also a little bit dumbfounded about the position Lin Shaowei had arranged for him. Their rear was Xuzhou. He really couldn't imagine that the Japanese army could rush in behind them, so what else would he need to support?
However, considering the fierce fighting style of the Japanese Tenth Division, Xia Yang did not forget to remind Lin Shaowei to ask his troops to be more careful to prevent the Japanese from setting up ambushes on the road.
But Lin Shaowei was eager to perform meritorious service, and the order from above also told them to rush to the aid of Jiaxiang County at night.
So regarding Xia Yang's advice to him, Lin Shaowei just said nonchalantly: "Commander Xia, don't worry about me. Just stay in the rear to prevent the Japanese from sneak attacks. Once the Japanese are driven away, you might still be able to pick them up from behind." Use some equipment.¡±
In the early morning of March 2, 1938, Lin Shaowei¡¯s vanguard troops had already moved into a place less than 20 kilometers away from Jiaxiang County.
Along the way, they did not encounter any Japanese troops, so the troops moved in much faster than expected.
Lin Shaowei held a telescope and looked toward Jiaxiang County in the distance.
Through the lens of the telescope, the smoke of artillery fire can be clearly seen filling the sky in Jiaxiang County. The black smoke was like ghosts, drifting in the direction of the cold wind.
"Brothers, if you work harder, we will arrive at Jiaxiang County soon. By then, we and the troops stationed inside will be able to catch the Japanese army by surprise." Lin Shaowei said with confidence.
But as soon as he finished saying this, Hu San ran over from behind with a few people.
Lin Shaowei remembered Hu San, so he asked Hu San: "Why are you running here? Not following your Brigadier Xia? If anything happens to your Brigadier Xia, I will ask questions about you."
Hu San reluctantly saluted Lin Shaowei and said: "Master, our brigade commander asked me to tell you that the Japanese army may have an ambush on this route. You must be careful. It is best to send the vanguard to conduct a simple After the fire reconnaissance, but chose to move forward.¡± (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
