On the morning of September 6, the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters in Tianjia Town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Huang Haoran has been standing on the side of the huge sand table since early in the morning, holding his chin and doing thoughtfully, and he has not moved until now. Fan Jie and Wang Huan would run to Huang Haoran's side from time to time to take a turn, but they didn't make a sound to disturb Huang Haoran, with their experience in following Huang Haoran for many years, the two of them invariably felt that Huang Haoran was about to make a big move.

In the 5th Theater of Operations, in order to defend the honor of the "German Armament Division", Song Xilian's 71st Army has been completely defeated, and they have hugged the 13th Division in Fujin Mountain, and they have not retreated even a step. The tenacious 71st officers and soldiers forced the Ogishu Standing Soldiers to order the 13th Division to press the whole line and storm Fujin Mountain, and the men and horses sent by the official King Higashihisa were nailed to the foot of Fujin Mountain and lost the momentum to advance.

On the other hand, the 10th Division of Yoshio Shinozuka was immediately met with stubborn resistance from Zhang Zizhong's troops after capturing Gushi, and the two sides fought fiercely on the front line of Huangchuan, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while.

According to this development trend, as long as Song Xilian's troops and Zhang Zizhong's troops can hold out on the two battlefields of Fujinshan and Huangchuan for ten days to half a month, then the crisis brought to the 5th theater by the miscalculation of "Xiao Zhuge " will be safely passed.

Compared with the battle situation in the 5th Theater, the fighting between the 9th Theater and the Jiangfang Army was still concentrated on the line of Jiujiang and Madang. Okamura Ninji's adjustment of the 11th Army proceeded quickly, and as the 106th and 101st Divisions broke through the Jiujiang city defenses, the Hatian detachment was reinforced by the 27th Division, and the idle days of the Madao defenders officially came to an end. The Japanese army once again launched a fierce attack on the garrison area of the fortress, and the sky above the fortress began to be filled with gunsmoke and artillery fire again.

Long before the start of the war, Huang Haoran made the correct judgment that the battle of Madao should be attached to the battle of Jiujiang to a large extent. If Jiujiang, which is located behind Ma Yuan, is lost, then the entire Ma Yuan Fortress will become an island, and it will definitely be lost in the end, so Huang Haoran has always carefully adjusted the rhythm of the Ma Yuan battle, and is ready to make corresponding changes according to the situation on the Jiujiang side. So far, things have gone relatively well.

At the same time, Zhang Fakui's department in Jiujiang was grinding foreign skills with devils according to the predetermined plan. In addition to sending a telegram to Wuhan every day to give a preventive shot against the possibility that Jiujiang might be lost at any time, Zhang Fakui also began to organize vertical and horizontal cooperation within the 2nd Corps, and united his subordinates to fight against the headquarters of the district commander.

In order to draw the representatives of the various forces of the 2nd Corps to the same road, Zhang Fakui, at the suggestion of Huang Haoran, adopted a strategy of mixed use of forces. In just a few days, Zhang Fakui successively drew an infantry division from Tang Enbo, Li Yannian, and Wang Lingji's troops and threw it into Jiujiang City in turn.

After the troops under their command suffered huge casualties, the attitudes of Tang Enbo, Li Yannian and others immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees! After that, the 2nd Corps sent a telegram to the 9th Theater Commander's Department every day requesting the abandonment of Jiujiang, and the list of generals seconded behind it began to grow day by day, and this great change in the Jiujiang garrison made Chen Cixiu, who was bent on getting a good result in front of the highest authorities and comparing Huang Haoran with it, feel good and not annoyed! But he couldn't come up with any way to press it!

Huang Haoran knew very well that as long as the 2nd Corps sent a few more copies of this "Petition Telegram of the Generals of the Whole Corps" to Wuhan, then the highest authorities would have to come forward and intervene. In this way, the situation in Jiujiang can be successfully muddyed, and Zhang Fakui can also withdraw from it and escape the fate of carrying the black cauldron.

Huang Haoran still understands the temper of the highest authorities, even if the heart of the highest authorities is not happy at that time, in the face of a group of officers from Huangpu and the backbone of the Central Army, the old man will definitely agree to the 2nd Corps to abandon Jiujiang, this is the reason why the law does not blame the public.

It's just that Zhang Fakui, the commander of the corps, will still be thrown to the cusp of public opinion by the highest authorities as a scapegoat in the end, but fortunately, Zhang Fakui has such ideological preparations.

By the time the supreme authorities gave the order to abandon Jiujiang, Zhang Fakui's 2nd Corps could get out of the passive defensive battle and move to a second-line position with more space and more suitable for combat. With the undiminished 2nd Army in hand, it is completely impossible for Okamura Ninji to imagine that he will be as powerful on the southern front as he has in history.

And after the Chinese army completely blocked the four lines of the Japanese army, their fifth way of men and horses will be pushed to an unprecedented exposed position! Create a spiky protrusion on a front where millions of troops have been hoarded on both sides! This is exactly the combat opportunity that Huang Haoran has been waiting for!

"This situation is gradually becoming clearer... I hope Okamura Ninji doesn't find out about my intentions......"

After a long time, Huang Haoran finally spoke, and Fan Jie and Wang Huanzhi, who had been wandering around not far away, quickly leaned over after hearing it, and then opened their mouths in unison: "The main seat!" "Big brother!" "Tell us what your plans are! I'm dying! ”

Huang Haoran looked back at Fan Jie and Wang Huanzhi, and then said with a smile: "It's not time yet......

*************************************************************************

Despite the constant opposition of the senior generals of the Central China Dispatch Army, Okamura Ninji still pushed the headquarters of the 11th Army forward to Anqing City, which had just been captured. As small scattered Chinese troops and guerrillas still plagued the area, the rearguard of the 11th Army had to close the four gates of Anqing, demanding that the Chinese people inside the city not leave the city and the Chinese people outside the city not to enter Anqing, and imposed a curfew and martial law. But even so, the day after Okamura Ninji arrived in Anqing, there were two attacks, and the Japanese lost about twenty people.

For this reason, the chief of staff, Major General Yoshimoto Sadaji, scolded the head of the dog blood for the 2nd Wing of the Chinese Garrison Infantry, which was in charge of the security in Anqing City! Chief of Staff Sadaji Yoshimoto ordered Wing Commander Okazaki to eliminate all anti-Japanese elements in Anqing City within three days and create a safe environment for the headquarters of the 11th Army!

"Remember! This is not Nanjing! It is also not allowed to become Nanjing! Osa Okazaki, don't get Chief of Staff Yoshimoto wrong! ”

In order to prevent Captain Okazaki from using simple and crude methods to deal with the Chinese people in Anqing, Okamura Ninji specially explained a few words before Captain Okazaki was ordered to leave. The Japanese army's brutality in Nanjing had forced Tani Toshio and Matsui Ishine to resign, and Okamura did not want to lose the opportunity to establish a meritorious service in Wuhan because of the stupidity of his subordinates.

"It's... Your Excellency, Commander, those people have long hated the Imperial Army, and if you don't give them some powerful tastes, I'm afraid they will ......."

It is not difficult to see from Captain Okazaki's answer that Captain Okazaki really intends to carry out bloody suppression of the Chinese people in Anqing City, and the Japanese army officers who are deeply poisoned by militarism seem to only use iron and bloody hands and do not know other methods.

"Okazaki Daisa! That's where you need to use your brains! It is true that the Chinese are now very unfriendly to the imperial army, but all this situation is caused by those officers who are as reckless as you! The continent that the empire needs is not a ruin! If all the Chinese are killed, then what does the empire want this continent to do? The war cannot go on forever! The empire needs China's resources to supplement the attrition in the war! It takes a workforce to do it! Could it be that Okazaki Daisa is planning to take your soldiers to reclaim wasteland for His Majesty the Emperor!? ”

Okamura Ninji's suddenly raised voice explained the unhappiness in his heart, and Okazaki Daisa, who felt that the commander was already angry, quickly lowered his head, but he still didn't understand how to maintain the peace of Anqing City without relying on the sword and gun in his hand. Okamura's request was too high for him.

"Do you understand? I want you to answer me! ”

"Huh... Hail! I.. I'll do my best! Your Excellency, Commander! ”

Okazaki Osa still failed to give Okamura Ningji a satisfactory answer in the end, and his intermittent words revealed the weakness of Okazaki Osa's heart. Okazaki Daisa's performance made Okamura Ninji very unhappy!

In the end, it was Chief of Staff Yoshimoto Sadaji who helped Okazaki Osa out of the siege, he first pulled Okazaki Osa away from Commander Okamura Ninji, and then lowered his voice and gave Okazaki Osa guidance at the moment when Okazaki Osa was about to walk out of the door of the headquarters war room:

"When necessary, it's still okay to kill a few Chinese... But remember not to kill, just scare them......"

After hearing this, Okazaki Osa suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the request made by Chief of Staff Sadaji Yoshimoto was obviously much easier to do.

When Okazaki Osa left the war room, Chief of Staff Yoshimoto Sadaji turned around and walked back to Okamura Ninji's side and asked: "Your Excellency Commander, the 2nd Army on the Northern Front is more than our 11th Army, but now they have advanced to the line of Huangchuan and Fujinshan, and their movements are much faster than ours. For this reason, the Dispatch Corps Headquarters and the Tokyo Base Camp have repeatedly called us to speed up the speed, whether to urge the 101st Division and the 106th Division in Jiujiang, or to let the Potian Detachment take the fortress as soon as possible......"

Chief of Staff Yoshimoto Sadaji was interrupted by a wave of Okamura Ninji before he finished speaking, and Okamura Ninji, as the commander, was very clear about the current situation facing the 11th Army, and he didn't need to ask Chief of Staff Yoshimoto Sadaji to repeat it for him.

At the moment, whether it is Jiujiang or Ma Dao Fortress, their value in the eyes of Okamura Ningji has been discounted. On the front of the 11th Army, Zhang Fakui's 2nd Army Corps had largely recovered and firmly occupied the second line of defense. In this way, Okamura Ningji's strategy of attacking Jiujiang became meaningless.

Now even if the 101st Division and the 106th Division take Jiujiang City in the next minute, the 11th Army still has to fight a tough battle with Zhang Fakui's corps, which is waiting solemnly in the trench, and it is definitely impossible to catch up with the progress of the 2nd Army on the northern front with such an extremely time-consuming dispatch!

And the same situation is true of the horse fortress that is close to Jiujiang, "the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it", these eight words are very suitable for the horse wall at the moment.

Fortunately, there was still one piece left in the 11th Army that was not blocked by the Chinese army, that is, the 6th Division, which was advancing towards Huangmei! Now Okamura Ninji decided to change the mission of the 6th Division, no longer asking Inaba Shiro's troops to attack Jiujiang in a roundabout way, but ordering the 6th Division to go straight along the Yangtze River to attack Tianjia Town, an important town in the north of the river! Attack on the salvage of the Chinese army!

The Chinese army will definitely transfer troops to rescue Tianjiazhen, so that there will be gaps in the front defense line of the 11th Army! Okamura Ninji's opportunity also came......
