    August has quietly arrived, and the heat along the Yangtze River has become even more unbearable. At the same time, it has also ushered in the annoying rainy season. When there is sun, you are sweating, and when there is no sun, it is rainy.

    Such weather may not have much impact on ordinary people, but it is really annoying to troops marching and fighting.

    The distance from Jinguanqiao to Jiujiang is only fifty or sixty kilometers. If the weather is good, the large army can march the entire distance in just one day.

    But it has been raining continuously in the Jiujiang area since January 30. Although the rain is not very heavy, it still makes it difficult for the troops to march.

    In addition, before the war, the Nationalist Government was worried about being raided by the Japanese mechanized troops, so it mobilized the people early to destroy all the transportation lines along the way, so the little Japanese had to walk for three days on the not-so-distant journey.

    At 11 a.m. on August 2, the leading troops of the 106th Division finally arrived at the outskirts of Honghua Ridge, set up camp on the spot, and set up an attack posture.

    In the afternoon, he and the Japanese troops arrived one after another until the 106th Division headquarters also arrived at 5 p.m., and the entire Matsuura Division arrived.

    After Matsuura Junrokuro arrived at the front line, he was immediately shocked by the situation in front of him. He saw that the not-so-open terrain of Honghualing was full of defenses. He even saw an anti-tank cone in front of the position.

    Although he has not been fighting in China for a long time, he also knows the quality of the Chinese army. Most of the troops and commanders have not received formal military education, so most of them do not know the existence of anti-tank cones.

    Based on these things alone, Matsuura Junrokuro can judge that the defenders on the opposite side should be the elite of the Chinese army, and may even be those German weapon masters carefully trained by the Chinese government.

    Matsuura Junrokuro still highly recognized the combat effectiveness of those German weapon masters. Although they were incomparable to the Class A divisions of the Imperial Japanese Army, they were still capable of fighting Class B divisions like the 106th Division.  He has the strength to fight.

    Since he did not know the situation of the defenders on the opposite side and the sky was constantly raining, Matsuura Junrokuro did not immediately launch an attack. Instead, he personally called the 11th Army headquarters and requested the headquarters to immediately airdrop ammunition and other supplies for them.  Supplies.

    "There is no way. When the 106th Division went south to fight, it only carried a week's worth of ammunition and supplies. Now it has consumed 7788, especially the artillery shells.

    Due to the unrestrained use of artillery in the past two days, the troops have less than a base amount of artillery shells left, and this amount of artillery shells will soon be consumed.

    And once the cannon runs out of shells, it can't even burn fire sticks. No matter how capable they are, they can't put bayonets on the cannon!

    Okamura Neiji was also unambiguous. After receiving the telegram from Junroku Matsuura, he immediately ordered the aviation force to airdrop supplies to the 106th Division regardless of the impact of bad weather.

    However, what Matsuura Junrokuro didn't know was that while they were busy receiving supplies dropped by the aviation force, Li Guoyao was closely observing their movements through tactical telescopes.

    Seeing that the Songpu Division was busy receiving airdrop supplies, Li Guoyao was immediately happy. This showed that there was not much ammunition left.

    In view of this, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the first regiment of the Duba Brigade and the artillery regiment to launch an attack on the Japanese army in the rain. At the same time, he also moved the air defense regiment to the forward position to deal with the Japanese aviation.

    "Boom boom boom"

    The artillery belonging to the 61st Army showed its power. Dozens of mountain artillery and field guns opened fire at the same time. The shells hit the Japanese army's forward positions as if they were free of charge, sending the chaotic Japanese troops fleeing. Some of the supplies and ammunition they finally received were also lost one by one.  was destroyed, while the soldiers suffered numerous casualties.

    Seeing that the defenders took the initiative to attack them, Matsuura Junrokuro was furious and immediately ordered his troops to fight back.

    At this time, they did not care about collecting the supplies dropped by the air. After all, the offensive troops of the Chinese army were so close that many parachutes floated to Li Guoyao's position due to the southeast wind.

    This is a gift from God. While Li Guoyao ordered people to collect these supplies, he ordered the troops to continue the attack.

    Li Guoyao is very aware of the urinary nature of these little devils. They are used to being rampant and can't stand a little stimulation at all. This is true for officers and even more so for soldiers. Their hair will explode at the slightest stimulation.

    So what Li Guoyao is doing now is not only to interfere with the little devils receiving materials and supplies, but more importantly, to stimulate the little devils psychologically and make them crazy. Only in this way can they be eliminated more easily.

    Sure enough, under the stimulation of Li Guoyao's subordinates, the angry Song?? Troops were quickly organized for a counterattack.

    During the exploratory attack, the Japanese army invested two teams. Although Matsuura Junrokuro and others did not expect anything from these two teams, the result was simply unacceptable to them.

    Less than two minutes after they went up, the two teams were hit in the head by a shell. More than a hundred troops were killed and a third of them were injured. The remaining recruits did not step forward at all.  In order to show their courage, many people fell to the ground like ostriches. Although some of the remaining people fought back, the effect was unbearable to watch.

    Within less than ten minutes of such fighting, this tentative attack ended in an anticlimactic manner. When the more than 100 people sent by Matsuura Junrokuro withdrew, less than 30 people were left.

    ¡°Subsequently, Matsuura Junrokuro directly sent an infantry squadron up, and at the same time took out the few remaining artillery shells for fire cover.

    This time, although we persisted for less than 20 minutes, we still failed to capture the defender's position and even failed to fully understand the opponent's firepower arrangement.

    On the contrary, this squadron was also crippled. When it went up, there were only 200 people, but when it came down, there were less than 70 people.

    But one thing the little devils did figure out during this attack was that there were not only infantry and organic artillery on the garrison position, but also a large number of snipers.

    One of the important reasons for the failure of this attack is that the squadron leader, Captain Yamaguchi, was sniped on the position at the beginning of the attack. In addition, the squadron's machine gunner, ammunition hand and grenade launcher were all hit by a sniper.  , suffered heavy losses, and ultimately led to the failure of the attack.

    After that, Matsuura launched another attack, but the result was the same. The charging Japs were beaten hard by the defenders who were waiting for them. Three consecutive attacks were repulsed without exception.

    Although there were not many troops invested, the casualties were not very large, but it caused a considerable psychological shadow on the Japanese army.

    After losing the first battle, the morale of the Japanese army suddenly dropped a lot. Coupled with the continuous drizzle and the difficult country roads for several days, the Japanese soldiers were in a gloomy mood.

    Fortunately, it was getting late, so Matsuura Junrokuro immediately ordered the troops to stop the attack and wait until dawn tomorrow.

    The rain in Jiujiang increased that night, and the heavy rain swept across the entire south bank of the Yangtze River. This made it difficult for the Chinese and Japanese troops inside and outside the Honghualing position to defend. Moreover, due to the heavy rain, Li Guoyao, who had originally planned to raid the Japanese camp at night, could not  Do not cancel the task.

    But what is gratifying is that the rain stopped before dawn the next day, and then the sky cleared.

    When it was past seven o'clock in the morning, the long-lost sun came out, and today turned out to be a rare sunny day.

    The weather is clearing, which means that for the Japanese army, the attack will be easier and the battle will be longer.

    In his excitement, Matsuura Junrokuro immediately ordered the troops to seize the time to have breakfast and then prepare to attack.

    There was no way, it had been three and a half days since Jiujiang City was captured, and the bridgeheads they had worked so hard to capture had been destroyed by the Chinese army one by one. If they did not counterattack as soon as possible, the Chinese army would soon be able to regain its footing.  Heel, it will not be easy to conquer Jiujiang by then.

    In view of this, after breakfast, Junroku Matsuura gathered all the officers in the command tent to discuss the attack plan.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
