The 106th Division of the Japanese Army belonged to the newly formed special division, and after the sneak attack on Jiujiang was successful, it did not stay and quickly and murderously pounced on the Chinese defenders' positions at Jinguanqiao at the front of the Nanxun Line.

"Quick fix! Defeat the Shina Army! ”

The commander of the 106th Division, Junrokuro Matsuura, had the momentum of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and wanted to lead his division to establish his own exploits on the Chinese battlefield.

According to past experience, although the Chinese army was superior in numbers most of the time, as soon as they launched a fierce attack, the Chinese army was quickly routed.

This time, Junrokuro Matsuura led the 106th Division to attack and advance along the Nanxun Line in the direction of Dean, arrogantly trying to implement the central breakthrough tactics to defeat the Chinese army.

As long as they wipe out the Chinese troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River, cut off the Guangdong-Hankou railway, and encircle Wuhan, then the fall of Wuhan is just around the corner.

But what Junrokuro Matsuura didn't expect was that what he encountered this time was the First Corps under the command of General Xue Yue, and all the elite troops under his command were from the battlefield.

"Retreat without authorization, those who are unfavorable in battle, shoot on the spot!"

In the face of the menacing Japanese 106th Division, General Xue Yue also went all out, with the full strength of the First Corps, ready to fight to the end.

Guarding the main position of Jinguanqiao at the front was the 70th Army of General Li Jue under the command of General Xue Yue's First Corps, which was originally the foundation of the Hunan Army, but now they have been pushed to the cusp.

The combat effectiveness of the 70th Army was neither comparable to that of the Guangdong Army nor the 74th Army, but in the face of General Xue Yue's strict orders, they could only hold on.

"The 128th Division fought ineffectively at Poyang Lake, and the number was revoked by the Military Commission! This is a shame for our 70th Army! It's my Li Jue's shame! Shame on being a soldier! ”

General Li Jue stood on the position filled with gunpowder smoke and shouted loudly: "It is a shame that the number of the 128th Division has been withdrawn, and our 19th Division must make an example and be ashamed of our 70th Army!" ”

"Lao Tzu doesn't care how many people the devil rushes over, but you can't take a step back! The muzzle of my gun is behind you, and Chief Xue's gun is behind me! If you die, I won't live, but as long as you live! That's when we wash away our shame! ”

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”

The officers and men of the 19th Division under the 70th Army let out an earth-shaking cry amid the roar of General Li Jue and decided to fight to the death.

However, Junrokuro Matsuura did not pay attention to the 70th Army, which was guarding the main position of the Jinguan Bridge, and launched a fierce offensive under the indiscriminate bombardment of the aviation units.

Earth-shattering explosions rang out one after another at the main position of Jinguanqiao, and large mushroom clouds mixed with mud and sand and gunpowder smoke rose into the sky.

The sky was soon shrouded in thick black smoke, and the main position of Jinguanqiao was like a ship swaying in the rough waves, threatening to capsize at any time.

Although the Japanese 106th Division was newly formed, the soldiers inherited the usual fierce and tough combat style of their troops, and rushed to the Chinese defenders' positions by stepping on the bombing points.

In the face of the Japanese troops surging like a tide, the cold steel helmets made people shudder, and the troops guarding the position did not flinch in the slightest.

"Kill the devil!" The soldiers who survived the bombardment roared with broadswords and engaged in a bloody battle with the devils who broke into the position.

The Japanese 106th Division was attacking fiercely, and the Chinese troops guarding the main position of Jinguanqiao did not show weakness.

The Japanese pressed forward with minced flesh and blood, but the further they advanced, the slower they pushed.

Because the positions of the Chinese army were all built on the top of a hill, they captured one hill and had to attack another.

Fighting in this hilly area, the roads had long been bombed up by the Chinese army, and their artillery units could not keep up, so they could only rely on the infantry to move forward, and the attack was weak.

"The resistance of the Chinese army is stubborn, and it is difficult for our brigade to advance."

"All the jade of the third squadron was shattered, and the Jiwoling position was recaptured by the night attack of the Zhina Army!"

......

The 106th Division advanced less than ten kilometers, and it was difficult for the troops on the front line to survive, which made Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, who was bent on establishing meritorious service, very frustrated.

"Call for air strikes by aviation units! Raze the mountain to the ground! Junrokuro Matsuura, who had a hideous face, looked a little angry.

Soon, more than 30 Japanese bombing groups carried out carpet and indiscriminate bombardment of the Chinese defenders' hill, and the entire hill was scorched with all the grass, trees, earth and rocks.

However, this did not destroy the will of the Chinese army to resist, one regiment was lost, and another regiment was sent, and the mountains and rivers were full of corpses, but they did not retreat, which made Matsuura Junrokuro realize that he had encountered a strong opponent.

The frustration of the frontal attack frustrated Junrokuro Matsuura, but the urging call from the commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Ninji, forced him to renew the attack.

"Draw four squadrons to form a death squad!" The 106th Division, which did not go well in the offensive, had to form death squads to break through the positions.

On a foggy morning, hundreds of Japanese death squads launched a surprise attack on the Chinese positions at Jinguanqiao, breaking through several positions at one point.

"Hit back! Even if all the people die, they have to take back the position for me! ”

At this critical moment, the army commander Li Jue regathered the surviving soldiers and launched a counter-charge against the Japanese death squad.

Nearly 1,000 people on both sides launched a brutal white-knuckle battle in the mountains and forests, and for a time the stumps and broken bodies flew sideways, blood splashed everywhere, and after more than an hour of fighting, they finally wiped out all the hundreds of Japanese death squads.

The stubborn resistance of the Chinese army exceeded the expectations of the 106th Division, and the newly formed division was kicked to the iron plate in the first battle.

While the troops of the 70th Army were fighting with the Japanese 106th Division on the frontal battlefield of Jinguanqiao, the friendly 4th Army and the 64th Army also fought bloody battles with the Japanese on the flank.

The Japanese 106th Division was beaten by the troops of the First Corps under the command of General Xue Yue on the Nanxun Line, and it was difficult to move an inch, and Commander Okamura Ninji had to transfer more aviation units and artillery units to increase the aid of the battle.

When the Chinese army on the south bank of the Yangtze River was fighting with the Japanese army in full swing, in the vast area on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the Chinese army and the Japanese army exchanged fire in an all-round way.

Yang Ling's 74th Army was also deployed behind the Nanxun Line, building strong fortifications on the one hand, evacuating the people on the other, and preparing to replace the forward troops at any time.

The mountains and forests were shrouded in clouds and mist, and Yang Ling's 301st Regiment had been hiding in the forest for two weeks, restless.

The wounded soldiers on the front line continued to be sent down, and the situation on the battlefield continued to come back, the 70th Army fought fiercely on the front line, and positions were constantly broken through, but there was also news from time to time that the captain and squadron leader of the Japanese army were killed on the battlefield.

Every time the good news came, the brothers would be excited, and they would be ready to go up and do a big job, but they could not wait for the order to attack, and they were already impatient.

"Tuanza, when are we going to go, this round should be our turn, right?"

The brothers were gearing up to go to the front, and the officers were also anxious like ants on a hot pot, surrounding the regiment commander Zhang Handuo to inquire about the news.

"You ask me, and I ask who will go? Just be patient. ”

The regiment commander Zhang Handuo didn't want to pull the troops up to compete with the devils, but Shangfeng didn't have an order, so he could only wait in this sultry forest.

"Then when do we have to wait, we can't stay in this forest all the time to watch the excitement."

Yang Ling looked at the restless officers, stood up and persuaded him: "Everyone, don't be impatient, the theater command has their considerations, we have to obey the overall situation and follow orders." ”

"Go back, let the brethren polish their guns, load their bullets, and set off as soon as the order comes, and I will not spare anyone who drops his chain for me when the time comes."

Yang Ling looked at these officers who were eager to fight, and issued an order to expel the guests.

After the officers left, the regiment commander Zhang Handuo dialed the division headquarters again and asked the division commander to be transferred, but as before, they were told to wait.

"How long will this be?" After the head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, hung up the phone, he paced back and forth in the tent, sighing constantly.
