806. in the first place

In small units or local battlefields on the front line, that is, the three dogs, their combat methods come from the most abundant combat experience of the troops that have been engaged with the enemy since Songhu.

In fact, it is very simple to say, that is, to dig holes frequently, hide when the Japanese artillery fire comes, and let the Japanese troops enter the area of close combat, engage in close combat, and fight with them and fight with them.

Relying on the large number of Chinese people, as well as the sacrificial spirit of daring to sacrifice their lives for the country, it is necessary to fight with the Japanese army in terms of numbers, one-on-one death, and if you can afford to die, even if you are two against one, you dare to die.

At night, the small units gave full play to their advantages of being good at night warfare, constantly harassing the Japanese troops, and if they could fight and bite a big bite, they would harass the Japanese troops and prevent them from sleeping in peace.

Therefore, in the mountainous battlefield, the Guangdong troops fought bravely and abnormally, and the two main forces and the Japanese 105th Division repeatedly fought for seven days and seven nights on the front line, defending several main positions in Ma'anshan and Jinjiashan, fighting to the death.

The 106th Division of the Japanese Army, formed on May 15, 1938, belongs to the ad hoc division, that is, the reserve division.

Special divisions are a feature of the Japanese army, formed by reservists, usually except for the wing commander and group leader who are active officers, other soldiers to squadron leaders are reserves.

The number of the ad hoc division is generally formed by adding 100 to the division where the original reservists belong, and the 106th division is composed of the reservists of the 6th division.

In addition to the young militia who have been trained, there are also veterans under a certain age who have retired from the army, and the soldiers of the 106th Division are mostly composed of veterans of the 6th Division.

Ad hoc divisions are generally configured as two brigades and four wings, and the 106th Division also belongs to this configuration.

Therefore, it seems that the 106th Division is a type B division, but its combat effectiveness is not weak at all, and it has more combat experience, because most of them are veterans.

Moreover, the source of the troops of the 6th Division and the 106th Division is located in the southern Kyushu region, where the Japanese people are the most fierce, and the people there are proud of their savagery and bravery, and they are not afraid of death.

The veterans of the 106th Division, who had quickly defeated Hukou Jiujiang, also laughed at the young 6th Division for fighting Huangmei for a long time, and the commander of the 106th Division, Junrokuro Matsuura, quoted the old Chinese saying that "ginger is still old and spicy" to praise himself.

But now, it is the turn of the 106th Division to have a headache, and Ma'anshan, Jinjiashan on the Nanxun line, is dragged by several Guangdong troops, and it can't be beaten no matter how it is fought.

Since the Cantonese Yankees are so difficult to fight, let's fight the 70th Army of the Hunan Army, it seems that this Li Jue is younger, so he will pick up this soft persimmon and pinch it.

But Songpu didn't know that this Li Jue was a Hunan barbarian, and the battle was even more fierce, although there were not many people in the Sanxiang children of the 70th Army, and the two divisions were not full divisions, but when they started fighting, it was the same as fighting chicken blood.

The 70th Army, located on the right flank of the blocking position, extended part of its main force to the western foot of Lushan Mountain, moved the division's heavy firepower, such as mortars and heavy machine guns, to the mountain, condescendingly swooping down on the Japanese army, killing and wounding a large number of Japanese soldiers.

In the diary of the Japanese army, it was recorded: "In several attacks, mortar shells on Lushan Mountain fell from the sky like raindrops, and the imperial army was greatly threatened, with terrible casualties. ”

By August 9, the Japanese army had suffered heavy losses, including the 1st Captain of the 113th Wing and the 2nd and 3rd Captains of the 145th Wing, all of whom were killed.

The 106th Division lost more than half of it, about 8,000 people, and almost half of the middle and small squad leaders who participated in the battle suffered casualties, and the entire division was almost crushed.

……

Seeing that other units were constantly fighting with the Japanese army, the Jiujiang area and the Nanxun line were mixed everywhere, which made the 74th Army, especially the 51st Division, feel extremely uncomfortable as if they were scratched by a cat's paws.

However, due to the previous performance of the 74th Army, it was fought all the way from a miscellaneous army to a half-lineage to the lineage, and now it is the elite of the Central Army.

This performance made the Military Commission very happy, and it almost wanted to assign the 74th Army to the troops directly under the Military Commission, but at present, when the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was being used everywhere, it was still necessary to release it as the main force of the new force to resist the Japanese army.

Such an elite force, which faction boss wants it, and they all want to reach out and take it for themselves, but fortunately, Commander Wang Yaozu caught the line of Commander Yu Jishi.

This line can be described as a ladder of heaven, leading directly to the Supreme Command, General Yu Jishi is Lao Jiang's confidant and cronies, because of this relationship, no one in the 74th Army dares to touch it.

Although there were factions within the Central Army, such as the Civil Engineering Department and the Northwest Hu Department, there were actions to win over and eat, but they were all blocked back by Yu Jishi.

As for the He Yingqing department of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Lao Jiang was relatively tightly guarded, especially after the Xi'an Incident, and he was even more deeply defensive, and the He department had almost no army of its own, and only a few armies in Guizhou with average combat strength did not dare to be too ostentatious and supportive.

Other local systems, let alone the 74th Army, but General Xue Yue is an outlier of the local faction.

This person, although he is very good at commanding wars, has one thing that is different from the local bigwigs, that is, he does not develop the strength of his private army.

Although General Xue has always grown up and become famous in the Cantonese troops in Guangdong, and has also pulled the Cantonese troops against Chiang several times, they are all immense, above board and upright, and if they can fight, they will fight, and if they can't fight, they will retreat.

In terms of simply not developing the strength of his own private soldiers, he won the favor of Lao Jiang, and he himself was talented in military affairs, so even if he was a sworn enemy, he still reused it.

Therefore, the 74th Army is also willing to obey the command of such a big man in the army, the first to serve others, and the second is not to worry about being eaten by him and become his own troops.

In addition, since the establishment of the 74th Army, during the bloody battle of Songhu, it was under the command of General Xue, except for the defense of Nanjing, which was temporarily out of his command.

At the time of the Battle of Lanfeng, he entered the command of General Xue's Eastern Henan Corps, and now he also followed General Xue from the Eastern Henan Corps to the First Corps of the Ninth War Zone.

Xue Yue also knew very well the strength of the 74th Army, such a force, according to his meaning, was the general reserve of the whole corps, and it was only released when it was time to attack the Japanese army in the end.

Besides, although the 74th Army is not a unit of that faction on the surface, the commander is Yu Jishi, which can be said to be Lao Jiang's own troops, and it can be said that it is the descendant unit of the Central Army.

Such a unit, if the old man takes it out and cripples it, it will definitely cause the displeasure of Old Man Jiang and affect the effect of the reserve in the last five minutes.

Therefore, since Lao Jiang said that Zhang Fakui preserved the strength of the Guangdong troops, then send the Guangdong troops out to fight first, and keep Lao Chiang's own troops first, so that you Lao Jiang will have nothing to say.

These are all things that the bigwigs of various factions in the army think, even in the case of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the unanimous resistance of the whole country, it is impossible to treat everyone equally, and even Lao Jiang himself has selfish intentions, not to mention the local factions below.

However, at the bottom, it is impossible for grassroots commanders like Sangou to understand or contact these things, and their task is very simple, that is, to kill the enemy, that is, to carry out orders.
