There is a small village seven or eight miles north of Xinpu Town, called Chenjiataizi.

When the 74th Army launched a general attack on Minji Town, the 48th Army and the 84th Army of the 11th Group Army under the Fourth Corps had also advanced to the vicinity of Chenjiataizi.

Although the 48th Army and the 84th Army cannot be compared with the 7th Army, they are also the backbone of the Gui Army, each army has three divisions, and the entire group army has six divisions, with a total strength of more than 60,000 people!

At this moment, Li Pinxian, commander-in-chief of the Fourth Corps and commander-in-chief of the 11th Group Army, was holding a telescope and standing on a small hill at the entrance of Chenjiataizi Village to look out in the direction of Xinpu Town.

Beside Li Pinxian, stood Zhang Yichun, commander of the 48th Army, and Qin Lianfang, commander of the 84th Army.

Zhang Yichun is a native of Anhui, but he is the backbone of the Gui family, and he can be said to be loyal to Li Bai and the others.

Zhang Yichun said abruptly: "Xue Yue is really light, let our 11th Army immediately launch a general attack on the Japanese army opposite Xinpu Town at any cost, why don't his descendants go to the general attack?" ”

"That's it!" Qin Lianfang also said, "Why doesn't the 74th Army attack generally? ”

"He can't help it." Zhang Yichun said, "The Seventy-fourth Army is not only Xue Yue's baby bump, but also the Imperial Forest Army that has been registered there, Xue Yue came to Xiaogan with the Seventy-fourth Army, just to let them pick peaches at the end, how could they use the Seventy-fourth Army to fight a war of attrition with devils at this time?" ”

Qin Lianfang said angrily: "This old man, it's really a dog who can't change eating!" ”

"That's it!" Zhang Yichun said, "He is pretending to use the hands of the Japanese army to consume our Gui, Commander-in-Chief Li, we can't fall for them, and really launch a general attack on Xinpu Town!" ”

Hearing this, Li Pinxian said faintly: "This time you are thinking wrong. ”

"Wrong?" Zhang Yichun and Qin Lianfang glanced at each other and said blankly, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Pinxian said: "I mean, this time Lao Chang and Xue Yue really didn't mean to use the hands of the Japanese army to consume us, didn't you just ask me, why didn't Xue Yue let the 74th Army attack?" ”

"yes." Zhang Yichun and Qin Lianfang nodded subconsciously, "Why don't you let the 74th Army attack?" ”

"Who said no." Li Pinxian said, "Half an hour ago, Yu Jishi's 74th Army had launched a general attack on Minji Town in the southeast of Xiaogan, and less than five minutes ago, the former enemy headquarters in Xiaogan sent a telegram saying that the four main regiments of the 51st Division under the 74th Army had all been exhausted, one brigade commander was wounded, and two of the four regiment commanders were killed!" ”

"Huh?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Zhang Yichun and Qin Lianfang immediately looked at each other when they heard this.

Li Pinxian said again: "Xue Yue strictly ordered all units not to wait and see, and after rushing to the battlefield, he launched a general attack on the Japanese army in front of him as soon as possible, also in order not to give the Japanese army any respite!" ”

After a slight pause, Li Pinxian said again: "Commander Zhang, Commander Qin, give the order!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Yichun and Qin Lianfang stood upright, and immediately turned around.

Soon, the 48th Army and the 84th Army also launched a general attack on Xinpu Town.

……

Almost at the same time, the 2nd Army had also advanced to the town of Zhuzhan east of Xiaogan.

After receiving Xue Yue's order, Sun Lianzhong, commander-in-chief of the 2nd Army, immediately forwarded it to the 30th Army and the 42nd Army under his command, and Feng Anbang, the commander of the 42nd Army, did not discount at all, and immediately launched a general attack on the Japanese army in front of Zhuzhan Town, but Tian Zhennan, the commander of the 30th Army, found Sun Lianzhong in front of him.

Seeing Tian Zhennan, Sun Lianzhong's face immediately fell, and he said in a deep voice: "Commander Tian, why didn't you command your troops to fight a general attack on the front line, why did you come to me?" ”

"General attack?" Tian Zhennan said in a low voice, "Commander-in-chief, this is what I want to say. ”

After a pause, Tian Zhennan lowered his voice again and said, "Xue Yue let us attack generally, so we didn't have a good heart!" He must have been ordered by Lao Chang to take the opportunity to consume the strength of our Northwest Army! ”

"Shut up!" Sun Lianzhong frowned and said, "Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, since Xue Yue is now the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in Xiaogan, and since the command has assigned our Third Corps to the command of the former enemy command in Xiaogan, then we must unconditionally obey Commander-in-Chief Xue's orders, go back, get back to me!" ”

"Commander-in-Chief!" Tian Zhennan said urgently, "You can't know that this is a pit, and still jump in with your eyes open, you don't think about the old brothers of the Northwest Army, you should also think about yourself, right?" If one day our Northwest Army's old foundation is exhausted, do you think Lao Chang will reuse you? You'll definitely step aside! ”

Sun Lianzhong became angry when he heard this, took out a telegram from his jacket pocket and slapped it on Tian Zhennan's face, and said angrily: "Take a good look for yourself, see if Xue Yue is taking the opportunity to consume our Northwest Army?" ”

Tian Zhennan took the telegram, only glanced at it, and the whole person was stunned.

"What? The 74th Army also took part in the general offensive? Yes and two divisions have basically been disabled? Crippled in less than two hours? OMG! Tian Zhennan muttered, "So, Lao Chang and Xue Yue really didn't take the opportunity to consume the old foundation of our Northwest Army this time." ”

Sun Lianzhong shouted: "Don't go back soon!" ”

"Yes!" Tian Zhennan returned to the army in a gray manner.

Immediately, Tian Zhennan led two divisions to launch a general attack on the Japanese army in Zhuzhan Town!

……

Fast forward to the evening of September 2, 1938.

With the passage of time, more and more troops of the national army rushed to the periphery of Xiaogan, from a few regiments at the beginning, to six armies and sixteen divisions!

Moreover, there are many more troops coming from three directions!

Although Yoshio Shinozuka left six infantry wings on the periphery of Xiaogan, and later added two infantry wings, these eight infantry wings had just retreated from the battlefields of Hankou and Hanyang, not only were the personnel not neat, but the equipment was also uneven, especially the tanks and artillery were almost completely lost!

Therefore, under the onslaught of the national army, the Japanese army gradually showed signs of exhaustion!

In particular, the 104th Infantry Wing stationed in Minji Town was the first to be attacked, and the enemy it faced was even more ferocious, and it was already on the verge of collapse on the whole front at this moment!

The Ogisu soldiers who stayed behind were already red-eyed, but they were useless!

The report of defeat is still continuously reported from various local battlefields, either asking for help here, or there is no longer able to withstand it, and they are all shouting for the headquarters to send reinforcements, but how can there be any reinforcements in the hands of the Ogizhou Libing?

In the end, Ogishu Libing's emotions were completely out of control and began to roar!

How is this possible? Hasn't the Chinese army always been intriguing and passing the buck to each other? When did it become so cohesive? How is this possible!
