Chapter 101: Attack and Contraction

8.101 Offense and contraction

"It's only been a few minutes! Zhao Botao, you kid dare to ask for reinforcements!? Tell you that Lao Tzu is not alone! You've got to hold on! ”

Wu Yuyuan, the commander of the 815th Regiment, received a call for help from Zhao Botao, the commander of the 2nd Battalion, in the company headquarters of the 2nd Battalion and the 2nd Company. At the same time, the devils also carried out landing operations in the direction of Maolinzhou, and half of the defense area under the responsibility of the 53rd Division had exchanged fire with the Japanese army! The three battalions under the command of the 815th Regiment were fully engaged in the battle! Wu Yuyuan was originally just an excuse for him not to meet the acting army commander Wang Xitao, but he didn't expect it to become a reality so soon!

"This crow's mouth! I've never been so smart! I knew that I would have said that Lao Tzu would be promoted! ”

Wu Yuyuan hung up the phone, slapped himself twice, and then spat on the ground, and said hatefully, the deputy regiment commander on the side was worried that Wu Yuyuan would lose the river beach guarded by the 2nd Battalion in a hurry, so he hurriedly came over and suggested that Wu Yuyuan's send some reinforcements to the 2nd Battalion.

"Is it because I don't want to send it? Where does Lao Tzu have so many heads in his hands now? Get! Pull Lao Tzu's guard company up! After this battle, let's ensure that we are the head of the singles! ”

Zhao Botao, the commander of the 2nd battalion, who received a company of reinforcements, was still not happy, because at this time, the Japanese troops who landed on the river beach had exceeded one squadron, and the three company commanders under him were two dead and one wounded, and the squad and platoon commanders were almost completely lost.

"Send a report to the teacher! We have to withdraw! If you continue to fight like this, you will be all gone! ”

Skipping the level of reporting is a very taboo thing in the officialdom, but at this moment Zhao Botao can't control so much, since the regiment commander has given him the guard company, this shows that the 815 regiment is already no soldier to adjust, and now it can only ask for help from the more advanced superiors, the 53rd Division is not only the 815 regiment!

After receiving the first call for help, Zhou Qiduo, the commander of the 53rd Division, naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest, with the experience of Li Yunheng and Xue Weiying, Zhou Qiduo knew very well that he had to take the only way to run out the 53rd Division. But what Zhou Qiduo is most worried about is that even if his 53rd Division is all wiped out in the defense area, what if he still can't stop the devils from attacking Madao?

In the final analysis, Dongliu is just the avant-garde position of the Horse Fortress, and the final decisive battle has to be in the Horse Fortress!

"Give me the fortress headquarters and find Bao Changyi! His grandmother's, our 16th Army is unlucky, Li Junzuo is gone, everyone is in danger, all the benefits are taken by Bao Changyi's marines, and now at this critical juncture, he can't hide idle! ”

A telegram kicked the ball to Bao Changyi, although Bao Changyi, who was born in the Marine Corps, was a decent person, but he had never commanded such a large-scale army battle, so the real commander of the Madao Fortress Command was actually Zhang Guangfu, the commander of the 47th Independent Brigade.

"Huh! This kicks the ball as soon as the game starts! I'm afraid of carrying the black pot... It seems that the hand of the general seat in the horse is playing with the 16th Army and the officers are frightened! It's okay like this, although you can't fight, at least you're very obedient......"

Seeing that Zhang Guangfu was still in the mood to ridicule with a telegram, Bao Changyi on the side was really anxious, in Bao Changyi's opinion, Zhang Guangfu was Huang Haoran's old subordinate, and the 47th Independent Brigade was just a "swordsman" who came to help. If the fortress is lost, this responsibility will definitely not be retreated to Zhang Guangfu's head, but he Bao Changyi, if something goes wrong, he will really squat in the prison of the Military Commission.

"Brigade Commander Zhang, do you want the 167th Division to reinforce the 53rd Division, there is no movement on the Hukou side for the time being, there is a horse fortress in front, and the devils will not be able to attack the Hukou for a while and a half......"

Lake Mouth? Zhang Guangfu fell into deep thought, Hukou is the westernmost part of the Madao garrison area, located in the upper reaches of the Madao fortress, is the gateway to the Jiujiang River, and it is indeed not attacked by the Japanese army in the short term. Unless, Xiangkou's 53rd Division and the Marines and the 47th Independent Brigade of the Madao Fortress were defeated quickly.

"The devil is now on the shore, in case the 11th Army does not fight according to the routine and attacks Jiujiang in a roundabout way, then what should we do? With our current strength, we can barely hold it, but we will never be able to attack... The reason why the fortress is important is because the fortress is the barrier of the Jiujiang River, and if we transfer the 167th Division away from the mouth of the lake, wouldn't we abandon the basics? No way! Absolutely not! ”

"Brigadier Zhang! Your responsibility and my responsibility is to guard the stables! If Ma Yuan can't hold it, what's the use of having an extra 167th division in the Jiujiang garrison? You must not be fooled! ”

Before Huang Haoran took over the post of commander of the Wuhan garrison, the 25th Army had made dozens of deductions on the sand table on the strategic evolution of the Battle of Wuhan, and finally the German advisory group and the generals of the 25th Army agreed that if Okamura Ningji wanted to attack Wuhan, Jiujiang was the bridgehead that the 11th Army must take! As long as Jiujiang is occupied, the 11th Army can have the possibility of attacking from all sides.

Therefore, the 167th Division in Hukou is absolutely untouchable!

"Travel! Total Seat Secret Electricity! ”

"Hurry up!"

Huang Haoran called at this time, and Zhang Guangfu dared to conclude that it must be related to the war in Dongliu!

"Order your unit to transfer the 167th Division stationed at Hukou to reinforce the eastward defenders, tactically you should take a battle and retreat, do not care about the gains and losses of the Japanese army, and everything is important to delay the Japanese army's westward advance! The beachhead and the fixed line of defense can be gradually abandoned, but be sure to stick to a few commanding heights such as Xiangshan! In addition, the defense of Hukou will be taken over by two infantry divisions of Zhang Fakui's group in Jiujiang......"

What a time for the commander's order!

Zhang Guangfu smiled like a flower after listening to the content of the secret message! It was a wise decision to assign Hukou to the 2nd Corps of Jiujiang Zhang Fakui! Now Zhang Guangfu's hands are equivalent to an extra division of mobile troops out of thin air! And I got the order to fight with the camera, so I have a lot of room to play!

"Send a report to the 53rd Division immediately! Let them fight and retreat, except for a few high grounds, they must defend to the death, and in other places, they will not blindly fight the devils, and shrink their forces to the vicinity of the fortress of Mada! Send a report to the 167th Division again, and ask them to hand over the defense area to Zhang Fakui's department, and then drive around the fortress! I'm going to prepare an iron bucket formation for the Hata detachment! ”

After receiving the telegram from the fortress headquarters, the units of the 16th Army immediately began to adjust their defenses, and the 815th Regiment, which had been fighting fiercely with the Japanese army in Dongliu for half the night, also took advantage of the night to withdraw to the Xiangshan area.

After dawn on the morning of August 20, the Potian detachment found that they had finally successfully "captured" the Dongliu area!
