Chapter 676: There is no advance or retreat
Half an hour later, the Ogizhou soldiers returned to Minji Town.
At this time, the 104th Infantry Wing that remained in Minji Town had already built an improvised fortification around Minji Town!
The other two infantry wings of the 13th Division were held in the left rear of Minji Town, as well as the right rear, although the three infantry wings added up to only more than 3,000 infantry, but they were placed in a zigzag shape, which was still enough to lock the southeast of Xiaogan, and the national army coming from the direction of Hankou wanted to enter Xiaogan, and they must first take Minji Town!
Speaking of which, I would like to praise the groundhog attribute of the little devil again.
After capturing Xiaogan, the 2nd Army of the Higashikure Palace Tsusahiko left an infantry brigade to repair and defend the airfield.
As early as more than two months ago, this infantry brigade had already repaired the airfield, but since then this infantry brigade has not been idle, but has been building fortifications and strongholds on the periphery.
By the end of the defense of Wuhan, this infantry brigade had built a fortification around the entire Xiaogan by relying on the Fuchuan River, Bailongtan, and Heilongtan, and had also established more than a dozen small strongholds!
An Zhenyuan's Special Operations 1 Squadron tried to attack Xiaogan Airport several times, but it was unsuccessful, mainly because of this fortification and more than a dozen strongholds on the periphery!
Therefore, after the 104th Infantry Wing was stationed in Minji Town, it only needed to expand and strengthen the fortifications!
The wing commander of the 104th Infantry Wing has already killed two in the battle of Hankou, and now the acting wing leader is the former captain of the 3rd Infantry Brigade, named Hachiro Katamura.
Seeing Ogisu Libing, Katamura Hachiro hurriedly stepped forward: "Division commander!" ”
Ogizhou Libing returned the military salute and asked, "Katamura-kun, what's going on with the Zhina army on the other side?" ”
"Hello!" Katamura Hachiro paused again and said loudly, "The Shina Army on the opposite side arrived a quarter of an hour ago, and the number is about one regiment, and the number is the 74th Army!" ”
"The 74th Army?" Ogisu Libing didn't pay much attention to it at all.
Shaking his head, Ogizhou Libing said again: "Don't worry about them, continue to repair the fortifications!" ”
"Hello!" Katamura Hachiro paused again, then looked around again and shouted, "Hurry up!" ”
Hearing Hachiro's order from Katamura, the already exhausted devil could only cheer up, wave his sapper shovel and start digging trenches with all his might.
……
The national army troops opposite Minji Town are really the 74th Army!
To be more precise, it is the 74th Regiment of the 51st Brigade of the 153rd Division of the 306th Army!
The commander of the 153rd Brigade and the commander of the 306th Regiment is none other than Zhong Yi and Zhang Lingfu's classmates of the Luojiashan Officer Training Corps, Qiu Weida!
At this moment, Qiu Weida was holding a military flag and was giving a lecture.
"Brethren, do you see this flag in my hand?"
"This is the regimental flag of our 306th Regiment and the brigade flag of the 153rd Brigade!"
"The position of the military flag is also the position of my Qiu Weida's brigade commander!"
"If I flinch, or cowardice, or run away, you will kill me!"
"If you are afraid, retreat, and want to escape, I will kill you!"
"When the attack begins, you will fight in whichever direction this flag is pointing! Wherever this flag appears, you must appear! ”
"Where the military flag goes, there is no advance or retreat!"
"Brothers, come with me!"
Before the last word was shouted, Qiu Weida rushed forward with the military flag held high.
Seeing that Qiu Weida, the brigade commander and regiment commander, was holding high the military flag and personally leading the charge in person, the more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the 305th Regiment immediately shouted as if they had been beaten with chicken blood!
"Brothers, follow the brigade and rush!"
"Brothers, fight with the little devils of Dog Day!"
"People are dead, they don't die for thousands of years, do it!"
"Little devil, my eighteenth generation ancestor, kill it!"
Amid the roar of the mountains and seas, the officers and men of the 305th Regiment standing in line rushed out of the sparse woods one by one with their rifles with bayonets on their shoulders and rushed to the Japanese positions like a tide.
……
Opposite, Minji Town.
As soon as Ogizhou Libing sat down to smoke a cigarette, he suddenly heard a faint shout in his ears.
"Well, what's that sound?" "It seems that there are a lot of people shouting loudly. ”
After almost a few seconds, Ogishu Libing suddenly jumped up and said sharply: "It's a soldier!" ”
Ogisu had just gotten up when Hachiro Katamura, who was covered in mud, hurriedly ran over.
More than 20 meters away, Hachiro Katamura shouted: "Division commander, the general attack of the Chinese army!" ”
"Nani? Total Attack?! When Ogizhou Libing heard this, his heart suddenly sank, how could this be? Didn't this group of Zhina troops just arrive in Minji Town? And with the strength of a regiment, how dare you launch a general attack?
When did the Chinese army become so bold and reckless?
Is this really the Chinese army in his memory? You can't be dreaming, right?
Seeing that Ogizhou Libing was stunned and didn't react, Katamura Hachiro shouted repeatedly: "Division commander? Division Commander! ”
The soldiers of Ogizhou woke up like a dream, and hurriedly took Hachiro in the village to hurriedly climb the ancestral hall at the east end of Minji Town, which is also the commanding height of the entire Minji Town, where the 104th Infantry Wing set up an observation post.
Standing at the observation post on the top of the ancestral hall, looking condescendingly to the southeast, you can clearly see that the black Chinese soldiers are like ant colonies that go out to forage, surging from the direction of Longxia Bay.
In front of this ant colony, a blue sky and white sun flag hunts in the wind!
There are only a few thousand people, but it feels like there are tens of thousands!
"Yaga Yaru!" Seeing this scene, Ogizhou Libing couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
Because the scene in front of him reminded him of the Lushun Fortress in 1905, when the Japanese army was also under the guidance of the Rising Sun Banner, launched one onslaught after another on the high ground guarded by the Russian army, and finally with courage and blood, took the outer positions of the Lushun Fortress and forced the Russian army!
But now, it's a different role!
Their Japanese army became the Russian army at that time, and the Chinese army became the Japanese army!
All of a sudden, a very bad premonition surged in the hearts of Ogizhou Libing, maybe he would be defeated this time!
Because the Chinese army in front of him felt too strange to him, as strange as the Chinese army in Hankow!
But the next moment, the Ogizhou soldiers woke up again, turned around and shouted at Hachiro Katamura: "Katamura-kun, hurry up and concentrate machine gun firepower to smash the general attack of the Chinese army, hurry up!" ”
The 104th Infantry Wing has machine guns, and there are quite a few of them!
But the number of machine guns on the narrow front was not enough, not enough to block the general attack of the national army! That's why Ogisu Libing asked Hachiro Katamura to concentrate machine gun fire!
"Hello!" Hachiro Katamura paused, turned around and left.
Ogisu once again raised his binoculars and looked ahead.
