    On August 10, the landing battle in the direction of Gutang continued. After five days of bloody battles, the Japanese 15th Division finally captured Gutang Town and gained a relatively stable foothold.

    On the afternoon of the 11th, the 27th Division, with the cooperation of the 12th Fleet of the Navy's Third Fleet, rushed to the Gutang line and successfully landed.

    After Zhang Fakui's Second Corps received news of the arrival of a large number of Japanese reinforcements, they immediately strengthened the defenses east of Jiujiang, especially the junction between Li Hanhun and Wangling Base, to avoid being attacked by the little Japanese like last time.  Just plug it in.

    However, they still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Japs. With the arrival of a large number of Japanese reinforcements, the Japanese troops on the Gutang front line reached two divisions plus a large number of supplementary troops, with a total strength of more than 50,000.

    In addition, there are a large number of technical arms, including an astonishing number of artillery and naval ships. In addition, in order to completely defeat the Chinese army in front of him, Okamura Neiji also mobilized almost all the fighter planes in Central China to the Jiujiang front line, and staged a decisive battle in Jiujiang.  posture.

    On the other hand, although the defenders are full of momentum, the troops are in a mess. There are elite Central Army troops and miscellaneous troops. Especially the Sichuan Army is blocking the forefront of the battlefield. Therefore, when the hot blood collides with the torrent of steel, the hot blood often cools down.  .

    Under the crazy attack of the Japanese army, the Japanese troops on the front line of Gutang made smooth progress. On August 13, they defeated Wang Lingji's troops in front of them and advanced into Jiujiang City.

    Zhang Fakui was shocked and immediately adjusted his tactics and withdrew his troops outside Jiujiang City, relying on Jiujiang City to continue to block the Japanese army.

    In Zhang Fakui¡¯s words, Jiujiang City is the final bottom line of the Second Corps. Either the entire army is annihilated or the Japs are driven back, there is no other way.

    However, what Zhang Fakui did not expect was that when the main force of the Japanese army arrived outside Jiujiang City, part of its main force did not continue to attack the garrison positions in the eastern part of the city. Instead, it went directly south for an unknown purpose.

    ¡° Then Zhang Fakui immediately ordered people to report the situation to Li Guoyao¡¯s headquarters and Xue Yue¡¯s First Corps on the southern front, so as to avoid being plotted by the Japs under unknown circumstances.

    After receiving the telegram from Zhang Fakui, Li Guoyao and Xue Yue were not worried. Instead, they were all excited. After more than ten days of planning, the little devil was finally fooled.

    Speaking of which, Neji Okamura on the Hukou front line was overjoyed after receiving a report from Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma, commander of the 27th Division.

    After days of hard fighting and still unable to break the deadlock, Okamura Neiji gradually lost patience.  He wished he could swallow up the more than 20 divisions of Chinese defenders in front of him and attack Wuhan in one go.

    When the Air Force reported that there was this gap in the defenders, his eyes lit up, he quickly walked to the map, and began to ponder the arrows that intertwined offense and defense.  The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became and the clearer his mind became.  Inserting from the gap can avoid frontal obstruction, and can also penetrate the defenders far and deep, so that the Chinese army will be attacked from both sides and completely shaken the Chinese army's defense system.

    Thinking of this, my brain, which had been suppressed for days, became excited, and my heart beat like a drum in my chest.  The fighter opportunity is fleeting and must not give Xue Yue's defenders a chance to adjust.

    He turned back and ordered Gong Li¡¯s air force liaison officer: ¡°Send two more planes, with so much energy to challenge defeat that they soar into the sky.

    After days of hard fighting and still unable to break the deadlock, Okamura Neiji gradually lost patience.  He wished he could swallow up the more than 20 divisions of Chinese defenders in front of him and attack Wuhan in one go.

    To be honest, Okamura Neji is not an impatient person, but he is a person who is keen on promotion and wealth.

    I think that people like Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro were nothing in front of him at the beginning, but because of their outstanding achievements, they are now famous in the military, and they have a posture that surpasses their "Sankarasuba". This makes Okamura Nei  Very uncomfortable.

    So in his view, this transfer to the commander of the 11th Army is an opportunity for him. As long as he captures the city of Wuhan, his money and honor will be guaranteed.

    But the strength of the Chinese army exceeded his expectations, so after the attack was about to be frustrated, Okamura Neiji has been thinking of ways to completely smash the Chinese army's defense system.

    Therefore, when the Air Force reported that the Chinese defenders had this gap, his eyes lit up, and then he spent several days in front of the map, pondering over the arrows that intertwined offense and defense.

    The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became and the clearer his mind became.

    By inserting from the gap, it can avoid frontal obstruction, and it can also insert the defenders far and deep, so that the Chinese army will be attacked from both sides and completely shaken the Chinese army's defense system.

    Thinking of this, my brain, which had been suppressed for days, became excited, and my heart beat like a drum in my chest.

    The fighter plane is fleeting,?Xue Yue's defenders cannot be given a chance to adjust, and now the 27th Division has successfully moved south, and supplementary troops and weapons and ammunition sent to the Matsuura Division are about to arrive. Success or failure depends on this.

    Then Okamura made a desperate move and vowed to decide the outcome in the area west of De'an and defeat the Xue Yue Corps in front of him in one fell swoop.

    After the 27th Division arrived at the front line of Hongtuling, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Songura, commander of the Japanese 106th Division, also received the latest combat order from the 11th Army Headquarters: "Break through the Chinese military positions on the front line of Wutailing and quickly insert into the German army."  In the southwest area of ??An'an, attack the Chinese defenders of De'an from the side."

    After receiving the order from the Legion Headquarters, Matsuura Junrokuro was also shocked. Wasn't this going to send their division directly into the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops? The danger could be seen at a glance.

    At this time, Matsuura Junrokuro couldn't care less about the shame, and immediately sent a report to Okamura Neiji to inquire about the specific situation. He could not just lead the main force of the division to a dead end, even if it was from the legion headquarters.  Order.

    And Okamura Neiji did not put on airs. He knew that such a task really needed to reach an agreement with the frontline generals, and he immediately expressed his thoughts.

    First of all, the opportunity is rare. Although there is a lot of risk, compared with the benefits after winning, the loss is almost negligible. It is a high-risk, high-income thing.

    Secondly, Okamura Neiji does not believe that the Chinese army has the ability to completely annihilate the Matsuura Division, because a few months ago the Doihara Division single-handedly defeated hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops in eastern Henan, although the final outcome was not very good.  , but you must know that the Battle of East Henan lasted for more than a month. If the Matsuura Division could also persist for a month, reinforcements would have arrived long ago.

    Finally, in the battle on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Inaba Shiro's division was able to break into Li Pinxian's more than 100,000-strong army in the north of the Yangtze River, but it achieved consecutive victories and continuously conquered dangerous places. Therefore, Okamura Neiji also believed that Songpu should be able to complete it as well.  mission.

    But Okamura ignored one point. The Nanxun Line in August was no longer the Lanfeng in May, and Lieutenant General Songpu was by no means the fierce Shiro Inaba.

    Okamura's dangerous move not only sent the more than 20,000 elite soldiers Songpu had just replenished to hell, but also almost ruined his reputation.

    The Japanese can tolerate strong men who do all evil, but they will never tolerate defeated soldiers.

    After receiving Okamura Neiji's explanation, Matsuura Junrokuro felt confident. He very much agreed with Okamura Neiji's plan and felt that if the 27th Division held back Li Guoyao's troops on the northern front, they would have a 80% chance.  Complete Commander Okamura's strategic vision.

    ??And as His Excellency Okamura said, this battle will only result in the loss of some soldiers at most. The danger of the entire army being annihilated is almost non-existent, but once it is won, the benefits will be unimaginable.

    As an extremely tenacious officer who has already sharpened his nerves, Matsuura Junrokuro doesn't care at all how many soldiers are killed or injured on the front line. In his opinion, the meaning of soldiers' existence is to charge and sacrifice their lives for their superiors and to sacrifice their lives for His Majesty the Emperor.

    This was not the idea of ??Matsuura alone, but the idea shared by all Japanese generals. They thought this way, and naturally they did the same thing. Therefore, Matsuura Junrokuro immediately decided to execute Okamura Neiji's order and go south to De'an.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
