The performance of the 106th Division made Okamura Ninji very dissatisfied, but he was also helpless. Shao Fei's chaotic battle was difficult to give full play to the advantages of his side, so Okamura only blamed Matsuura Rokuro and did not pursue responsibility.

Now the tide of the war has changed again. The Japanese army, which was in a good situation, changed because the 106th Division could not capture Hukou for a long time.

At present, the 18th Army of the National Army is attacking the positions of Meilankou and Longtan Mountain, and if Hu is unable to attack, the two wings of the 106th Division and the Botian Detachment will be attacked by the enemy, and the situation is worrying.

This was something that Okamura Ninji didn't want to see, so he gave another order that changed the whole situation again.

In the commander-in-chief of the 19th Group Army, Luo Zhuoying was very relieved because of the outstanding expression of the 26th Division, he never expected the Sichuan Army to fight like this. Luo Zhuoying had already given up, and in this way, he saw hope again.

"This is the latest movement of the Japanese army."

The chief of staff handed over the message he had just received to Luo Zhuoying. The retreat of this telegram brought Luo Zhuoying back to reality.

The telegram came from the intelligence organization of Pengze County, which read: A brigade of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army is preparing to cross Poyang Lake on the east bank of Poyang Lake, with the intention of bypassing the main force and launching an attack on Hukou County from the south. The 26th Division of the Sichuan Army will be flanked by the Japanese army from the north and south.

Luo Zhuoying sent a telegram first, and then ordered: "Order the air force to launch an attack on the Japanese army that is crossing, and by the way, inform the 26th Division of this information." The 11th and 16th Divisions of the 18th Army were ordered to occupy the positions of Meilankou and Longtan Mountain as soon as possible. ”

The chief of staff asked: "I'm afraid it's too late, and the miracle won't happen a second time." ”

"That's all there is to it." Luo Zhuoying didn't seem to have much confidence, and sighed: "I hope the falcon can create a miracle again." ”

On the surface of Panyang Lake, a brigade of the 101st Division began to cross. Suddenly, the sky "buzzed", and six fighters from the Nanchang Air Base were dispatched to intercept it.

"Boom Boom" "......"

The water splashes and sets off the rolling waves. Some motorboats were directly hit in the Fanjiang River, and the devils who fell into the water desperately swam back to the shore.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

The fighter began to dive and began to strafe the surface of the lake. Many devils were shot in the back and died in the river. Blood continued to seep out, staining the surface of the lake slightly red.

One of the devils on the motorboat was holding a machine gun, the other was shooting wildly into the sky, and the troops on the shore brought in anti-aircraft guns to counterattack at the same time.

The six planes could not stop this one brigade from crossing Poyang Lake, and their purpose was to buy time for the preparation of the 26th Division.

Headquarters of the 26th Division in Hukou. After receiving Luo Zhuoying's message, the atmosphere became very dull.

Now the defenders of Hukou can only fight more than 1,000 people, and there are a large number of wounded, and the northern city has been occupied by the Japanese army, and they have to face a brigade of devils in the south. Therefore, everyone thinks that this is a must-lose battle.

"Withdraw, we can't let the 26th Division die."

Chen Haotian's suggestion shocked everyone, it didn't look like words came out of his mouth.

"No, you can't retreat without receiving an order."

Chen Haotian's suggestion was rejected by the division commander Liu Wenqing, and Liu Wenqing asked Shao Fei: "Is there really no way?" ”

Shao Fei didn't answer, and was engrossed in the city defense map in front of him. The people around didn't ask much, and the command was unusually quiet.

Half a day later, Shao Fei said: "I need about 360 daredevils. ”

This sentence is even more shocking than Chen Haotian's previous words, and it is difficult for the "death squad" to come out of Shao Fei's mouth.

"I heard you right, don't you hate forming death squads the most?"

"Dare to die, does not mean to die, decisive death, not the kind you imagine. Dare to die is a kind of courage, to put it bluntly, we are all death squads, we all dare to die, dare to die. ”

Now the troops south of the Japanese army are blocked by the air force, so there is still time. Shao Fei only did two things.

The first thing: destroy the main road and blow up all the houses at the main intersection. Let the road at the mouth of the lake be chaotic, there are ruins everywhere, and there is no way to see the front.

The second piece: Let the 360 people change into the clothes of the devil. Maybe they will die as devils, there is no honor, only shame.

Shao Fei asked Chen Haotian to write down the names and home addresses of those people. If they do not return, they will be treated as sacrifices.

The 360 people were divided into two squadrons and their clothes were not marked. They can only retreat if they see the signal, otherwise they will have to fight to the last man.

Shao Fei wants to be chaotic and more chaotic, and now there is no other way.

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

Explosions sounded all over Hukou County, and it was not the devils attacking, but the Sichuan army sabotaging. And the final main battlefield is in the heart of the county.

Nearly an hour later, the battalion of the 101st Division landed on the west bank of Poyang Lake. The 106th Division was immediately telegraphed to launch an attack at the same time.

Another unit of the Sichuan army used ruins, inside houses, and rooftops to block the main roads in the south and north.

"Boom Boom" "......"

To the south of the lake, more and more devils entered the city, and the firepower was very fierce. Meilankou and Longtan Mountain were besieged by the 18th Army of the National Army, and it seemed that they were about to lose their hold, so they wanted to occupy Hukou as soon as possible.

"Withdraw!"

The commander of the Sichuan army led his troops to retreat north while fighting, aiming at the central city.

"Boom Boom" "......"

The soldiers withdrew after throwing grenades, and the devils were in hot pursuit.

"Attack!"

At this time, a group of devils came from the north, shouting Japanese.

More than 100 Sichuan troops quickly threw grenades and scattered towards the alleys on both sides.

When the two teams of devil soldiers were united.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

The devils in the north suddenly attacked, and several machine guns frantically fired in a straight line on the road, and the devils in the south were caught off guard and had no time to hide in the streets where they all fell.

"Spread out!"

After the battle, the Sichuan army in the north, disguised as devils, spread out on both sides. And the Sichuan troops who had blocked it before all left the battlefield, because they could not tell who was the enemy and who was their own.

The battle in the north was about the same as in the south. The blocking force left after completing the task, and now the entire central city is full of devils, but it is not clear whether the 106th Division, the 101st Division, or the Sichuan Army are distinguished.

"Which unit are you from?"

Small units were often encountered in the streets and alleys, and the Sichuan troops never spoke first.

"Dadada" "......"

The only thing that responds to the devil is bullets.

Occasionally, they would meet themselves, all of them were soldiers of the same battalion, and the platoon and company-level officers knew each other, and after saying hello, they led their own squads to disperse.

Before the operation, Shao Fei gave them the task of doing everything possible to create chaos in addition to destroying the enemy.

"Boom Boom" "......"

Explosions can be heard everywhere, and this loud sound is the most terrifying.

Some of these Sichuan troops who pretended to be devils were scattered and some were wiped out. Some soldiers even rushed directly into the devil's camp and blew themselves up, causing a lot of casualties to the devils.

The three forces were in a scuffle, and only the devils were afraid.

The commanders on both sides of this situation did not expect it, and they were unable to respond for a while. And their own soldiers were also killed unconsciously, and some even died at the hands of their own people.

In desperation, the devil could only choose to withdraw his troops first, and then attack the city after making a countermeasure.

However, the battle on the perimeter is shrinking. The 11th and 16th Divisions of the 18th Army of the National Army will soon break through the defense lines of Meilankou and Longtan Mountain; The main force of the Japanese army on the periphery was also about to break through the second line of defense of the 60th and 77th divisions of the national army.

This is a battle against time, and whoever breaks through the opponent first will achieve the final victory.
