The 535th Regiment is a microcosm of the current situation of the Jiang Defense Army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After Chen Cixiu took office, he was anxious to erase the mark left by Huang Haoran, and adopted a style of play with "non-Huang Haoran" as the core. As a result, the various units felt very unaccustomed to it, and when they coordinated with each other, they behaved very badly, and on several occasions almost let the 27th Division break through the junction.

The offensive was blocked, and it was difficult to open up the situation for a long time, and the morale of the troops naturally declined.

In order to enhance the confidence of Jiang Fangjun, he did not let the cooked duck that Huang Haoran handed over to him fly away. Chen Cixiu transferred the 18th Army, his basic unit, from the Nanxun Line Battlefield in the Ninth Theater to replace the vanguard of Li Pinxian's Fourth Corps and carry out the task of frontal assault.

There is also a second intention for this: only by the 18th Army singing the leading role, Chen Cixiu can justifiably share a share of the battle merits after victory.

The civil engineering department is worthy of being a strong force of the Central Army, which is composed of all Whampoa students, and it is still very powerful when it comes to fighting hard. After the 18th Army successively conquered several vital fulcrum heights, the follow-up Jiang Defense Army troops and Li Pinxian's corps took advantage of the situation to tear apart the last line of defense of the Japanese army. The operation to encircle and annihilate the Honma Masaharu Division entered the final stage.

In the last few days, Shen Laoer's 99th Army and Wang Shankui's 100th Army were pinned to the rear of the 27th Division by Chen Cixiu to carry out the so-called "interception operation". On the surface, it was to prevent Honma Masaharu from escaping from the surface of Lake Longgan, but in fact, he wanted to downplay the importance of Huang Haoran's troops in this battle.

Chen Cixiu's cleverness is unfortunately not used on the right path......

Wang Shankui and Shen Yuanlong sat on the cold bench, which was not a bad thing for those who wanted to withdraw and rest the nearly 25th Group Army.

After discovering Chen Cixiu's thoughts, Fan Jie was quite cooperative and sent a telegram to the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters every day to complain, reporting that the 25th Army had suffered heavy losses in the attack on Honma's Masaharu Division, and asked for replenishment.

Although the 25th Army was a piece of fat, it was too conspicuous. Such troops could neither be annexed nor commanded, and Chen Cixiu did not want to keep them in the Jiangfang army at all.

So he simply sold his favor to Huang Haoran and cooperated with the Military Commission to arrange for the 25th Group Army to retreat in batches.

On November 26, 1938, after nearly a month of fierce fighting, the Chinese army successfully wiped out the 27th Division of the Japanese Army on the shore of Longgan Lake. In this battle, more than 19,000 Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, 315 officers below the rank of major general were killed, 29 mountain artillery pieces of caliber of 75 mm or higher were captured, countless guns, ammunition and ammunition, and hundreds of gliding planes were captured.

It's a pity that Masaharu Honma used the night to escape into the mountains and disappeared......

After the destruction of the 27th Division, the Wuhan Military Committee ordered all the 99th Army and the 100th Army to be transferred to the rear for recuperation.

At this point, Huang Haoran's troops basically broke away from the front line and marched to the vicinity of Changsha in batches, entering a new stage of rearmament.
