The officers of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army thought well, but was the truth really as they imagined?

In the eyes of the Japanese army, the 51st Division was still stopped in Fulin Town, and it was completely impossible to come, even if it could break through the resistance of the Sixth Wing and rush over, they would probably have killed the independent regiment at that time, even if the other party rushed over, what effect could it be?

They will surely die!

Yamari Masataka and the senior officers of the Japanese army thought so.

They had a good idea, but they were ignoring a very important key factor!

That is, when they arrive in Beishan Town, can they quickly break through the resistance of the Independent Regiment? Will they be able to crush the Separate Regiment before the 51st Division arrives?

They didn't even think about that!

Maybe even if I thought about it, but because the previous two victories were too fast, it left an impression in the hearts of these Japanese officers and even ordinary soldiers, and an independent regiment is just such an impression!

In their opinion, as long as they attack themselves, they can definitely defeat it in a very short time!

In this case, even if the 51st Division rushed to reinforce it, it would not be able to do it at all!

Because it's too late!

But there is also time to succeed, and time to lose!

The Japanese only thought of the time when the 51st Division had no reinforcements, but they forgot the time it would take for them to break through the defense line of the independent regiment!

If this time is placed in ordinary time, even if it is an hour, it is not worth mentioning, but in the battlefield, an hour's delay is enough to kill!

……

Command of the Independent Regiment

Chen Qingzhi stayed in the command headquarters, Wang Yachuan was by his side, he looked at the sand table in front of him, and showed a solemn look on his face.

The current battle situation has reached the most critical moment, the Japanese army has arrived in Beishan Town, even if Chen Qingzhi has already prepared in his heart, and even the plan has been made a long time ago, but when this situation appears in front of Chen Qingzhi like this, he can't help but be a little nervous!

Because this opportunity is too important for him!

It's so important that it's a matter of life and death for the Independent Regiment!

If you win, everyone will be happy, but if you lose, the independent regiment will be wiped out!

Chen Qingzhi had to be cautious!

He looked at the map, his face was unusually grim, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

The battle has reached the most critical moment, Lin Xuan needs to think about whether there is anything wrong with his plan for this battle, at this time, if there is a mistake, then it can be changed, but if it is when the Japanese army approaches Beishan, when the mistake is discovered, at that time, it will be too late to say anything!

Thinking of this, Chen Qingzhi asked, "Have all the units already arrived at their combat positions?" ”

An officer next to him hurriedly said, "Yes! The latest battle situation just updated, the Japanese army stopped in front of Chating Town to repair, the first battalion and the second battalion of our army are all stationed there, preparing to contact the Japanese army tomorrow, and then retreat, at the same time, the cavalry battalion of Commander Liu has set off, and after a roundabout way, it is expected to cut off their logistics and transportation lines in the early morning of tomorrow! ”

"Battalion Commander Sun's fourth battalion has been buried in Qiaoyi Town, and is waiting for orders, and then they can all be dispatched to support! In addition, the 51st Division had also completed its plan for the Japanese Sixth Wing, which could encircle it at any time and then defeat it within an hour...... This is what the commander of the 51st Division personally sent a telegram saying! ”

The officer replied in a deep voice.

Hearing this telegram, Chen Qingzhi thought about it carefully for a while, confirmed that there was no problem, and then nodded.

Just an hour ago, when the Japanese army arrived in Chating Town, Chen Qingzhi sent a telegram to Wang Yaowu of the 51st Division, asking them if they could repel the Japanese Sixth Wing within two hours if the matter was urgent!

And Wang Yaowu didn't say anything, just said eight words: One hour, defeat it!

Just these eight words are enough to reassure Chen Qingzhi!

Wang Yaowu's personality, Chen Qingzhi has also heard a little, and he has a unique character!

Since he said that it was an hour, it would definitely be an hour!

No matter what, no matter what, even if it is unscrupulous, Wang Yaowu will definitely complete it in an hour!

This is Chen Qingzhi's trust in Wang Yaowu and the 51st Division!

Regarding Wang Yaowu's call, Chen Qingzhi thought about it, and then said: "Send a call back to Master Wang Yaowu, and just say...... The victory or defeat of this battle is all your department and one! ”

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the officer nodded, then turned away and sent a telegram.

At this moment, Wang Yachuan walked over, looked at Chen Qingzhi's slightly relaxed face, and couldn't help asking: "Tuanzuo, things have come to this point, can we be sure?" ”

"Nope!" Chen Qingzhi shook his head and said.

"What?" Hearing this, Wang Yachuan was stunned for a moment, but then he was a little anxious, and just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Qingzhi waving his hand.

"What I'm talking about is that I don't have the certainty of annihilating the Japanese Third Division, but if it is repelled or even defeated, he will suffer heavy losses and have to retreat from Changsha, and it is still nine out of ten!" Chen Qingzhi said.

"That's it!" Hearing this, Wang Yachuan relieved himself.

Chen Qingzhi looked at the map, his eyes were deep, and after a moment of silence, he then said: "The third division has already floated, as long as our troops can arrive as promised, it will be difficult for them to win this time!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Yachuan didn't speak, just followed Chen Qingzhi's gaze and looked at the map.

Look at the very center of tomorrow, where the map says Beishan Town!

This North Mountain Town is at their feet!

It's the center of the battlefield!

……

Early the next morning

It's still foggy, but the visibility is much better, and you can see it within 200 meters!

This is good news for both sides of the war.

In the morning, when the sun was rising, the 3rd Division had already given the order to attack.

Suddenly, the artillery rang out in unison, the guns were unconscious, and the rumbling artillery fire and gunfire suddenly resounded throughout the battlefield, outside this small town.

The decisive battle kicked off from Chating Town!

Countless Japanese troops rushed towards the blocking position in Chating Town, and under the cover of artillery fire, their morale was like a rainbow, as if they had entered a no-man's land.

The 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion faced the attack of at least one wing of the Japanese army, and it was a non-stop attack, although the soldiers tried their best to resist, but they were still unable to resist the countless soldiers of the Japanese army who seemed to be rushing up from afar.

After nearly an hour of fierce fighting with the Japanese army, the defenders finally couldn't resist, and as a last resort, under the leadership of Fang Xiaodong and Huzi, the two battalions retreated south in defeat.
