"Nani, what are you doing with Ushijima, why is there such a big loss?"

"Liu Hongyu surrendered?"

"There is an error in the information of the security regiment of the China Army......"

"Yaga, damn the pig, what about Saito, contact Saito immediately and ask what's going on?"

"Saito can't be contacted ......"

"Bastards, rubbish, a bunch of stupid pigs......" Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba dropped the phone and angrily flipped everything on his desk to the ground.

"Requesting naval support?"

"Immediately send a telegram to the Navy's Third Fleet Command, requesting them to transfer four river gunboats from Madang to support Ushijima-kun's landing operation." After losing his temper, Shiro Inaba calmed down and called his adjutant to order.

"Send another telegram to His Excellency Commander Shunroku Hata, requesting the third flight **** aircraft of the Army Air Corps to bomb Yuxikou and cooperate with the landing operation of the Ushijima troops."

"Hay!"

"A security regiment, less than five hundred people, actually repelled the elite infantry squadron of Ushijima-kun, the Chinese army is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there is still such a character hidden in this small Yuxikou town?" Shiro Inaba's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

The front army headquarters gave him an order that he had been delaying for a day, and if he was blocked at Yuxikou, he would not be able to complete the deployment of the "strangulation" plan by His Excellency General Shun Hata, then he would be in trouble.

The elite Ushijima unit of the Sixth Division was actually stopped by a security regiment at Yuxikou, and when the news reached Nanjing, Shunroku Hahata called the phone directly to the headquarters of the Sixth Division in Wuhu and scolded Shiro Inaba for being a bloody dog.

Under the pretext of delaying the landing time, now the attack is blocked. If the "strangulation" plan is not completed on time. Shiro Inaba is fully responsible.

Shiro Inaba was reprimanded. Of course, it is unforgivable to sprinkle dissatisfaction on Ushijima Man, a mere indecent security regiment, and the elite of the Imperial Army has failed.

Ushijima could see between the lines of the telegram that Shiro Inaba, the boss, was already very dissatisfied with him, first carelessly losing a squadron, and the attack was defeated twice.

His title as the king of army tactics is a bit exaggerated.

So he thought about it, and the Chinese army on the shore had only one security regiment. The strength of the army is about 500 people, which should not be wrong, but there is a deviation in the combat effectiveness information of this security regiment.

This intelligence is not professional intelligence, I am afraid it is a conclusion reached by a casual observation, and the people of China are very cunning and have deceived the intelligence officers.

Therefore, if you can't attack head-on, you can only take a detour, a brigade on your side. Nearly 5,000 people, ten times more than the opponent. Can't you take a small security group?

With 500 people, it is almost enough to defend such a wharf, but the shoreline of the Yangtze River is so long, I can't use the official wharf, and the small wharf for civil use can also be.

"General, my aviation brigade will fly over Yuxikou in about two hours and ask us to give ground bombing guidance?"

"Nani, call back and say that the pilot can clearly see our soldiers, just bombard the opposite position." Ushijima waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Hay!"

The navy's gunboats will not be able to pass for a while, but the planes of the air force are very easy, and it is rare to have a good weather today, clear and without haze, which is suitable for the air force to fight.

It's just that this place is close to the hinterland of China, and although the China Air Force has lost air supremacy, it still has a limited strike capability.

Especially recently, the Red Empire in the north has come to the aid of a number of advanced fighters, and their air force can once again compete with the Empire's air pride.

Of course, Ushijima is still a little arrogant, and it is not like using the plane to capture Yuxikou, which would make him too incompetent, but he can't refuse, even if it is a double insurance.

As long as he can capture Yuxikou before the planes help, the credit is still his.

A small detachment of Japanese troops quietly left the brigade and headed upstream, where they were to find a suitable landing site in some suitable area upstream, and then detoured back to the right flank at Yuxikou.

If it was Liu Hongyu, who had no experience in fighting the Japanese army, even if he thought that he would deploy a certain number of troops on his right flank, he would never deploy heavy troops.

But Ushijima didn't know that his opponent was the new 38th Brigade that had fought with him in Nanjing and Xuancheng, what tricks did the Japanese like to use, could Luo Yufeng and Qin Yankun know?

The asymmetry of intelligence once again pitted Comrade Mitsuru Ushijima.

Indeed, it was the security regiment that blocked the Japanese army on the shore, but it was a reconnaissance battalion directly under the brigade headquarters wearing the uniform of the Yuxi Town Security Regiment, and Cao Xingyang's battalion had more than 300 people, and it was the elite of the whole brigade.

But behind him, there are 5,000 people of the new 38th Brigade, and one regiment was left by Luo Yufeng in Wujiang Town, once the Japanese army is blocked at Yuxikou, it will definitely look for another landing site, Wujiang Town is the most suitable landing point downstream, because there is a road there, and heavy equipment can be transported directly by road.

And other places do not have this condition, otherwise the Kunisaki detachment would not have chosen where to land, and then along the north bank of the Yangtze River to take Pukou.

Ushijima didn't know that the new 38th Brigade had arrived in Jiangbei, and it had already followed him, and he was still in the dark.

In fact, even the Wuhan **** Command did not know the whereabouts of the new 38th Brigade. Teach and scold his mother, but he is not stupid, the disappearance of the new 38th Brigade must be the ghost of Leng Feng, and the intelligence agency of the national government has Japanese spies, which has also been confirmed.

Once the New 38 Travel Trail was known to the Japanese army and took countermeasures, the losses would be great.

Therefore, Lao Jiang could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and even took down the black pot for Leng Feng, and strictly ordered the relevant people to keep it secret.

"The Japanese army failed in two attacks, and they will definitely change their tactics next, unless they have the opportunity to land, they will have the opportunity to seize the offensive forward position, and use the artillery advantage to suppress our position, and now they are driven by us to the water, there is no focus point, and there is no ship fire support, it is estimated that they will not launch a landing operation for a while and a half."

"We can't be taken lightly, we've just arrived. The Japanese army has more reconnaissance and knowledge of this neighborhood than we do. It is necessary to guard against a sneak attack by the Japanese army. Once we get them on their feet, then we won't be able to fight. ”

"What the brigade said is that we have already carried out reconnaissance and deployment along the riverbank, and once it is discovered that the Japanese army has the intention of making a roundabout sneak attack, there will be news feedback immediately."

"Cao Xingyang's side is playing well, the Japanese army probably doesn't know that they have changed opponents, so we have to make full use of this advantage and give the Japanese army two more blows. When they understand it thoroughly, it won't be easy to fight. ”

"Yes, the little devil has harmed us in China, so we should teach it a hard lesson."

"Report the situation here to the cold head immediately, he should be waiting for our news."

Pukou, Honorary 1st Division Headquarters.

"The Japanese are attacking, we are defending, and the normal river shoreline is a big challenge for us." Leng Feng's gaze stared at Yuxikou Dao. "The Japanese can attack from any point, but what about us. But it can't defend all places, so the manpower and material resources are too expensive. ”

"Yes, other factors aside, once the Japanese army launches a full-scale attack desperately, we really can't prevent it." Qiu Qingquan said worriedly.

"Therefore, the best strategy is for the Third Theater to make a slight offensive posture and transfer the Japanese army back."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy, so can Commander-in-Chief Gu listen to you?"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief Gu doesn't listen to me, but he will listen to the chairman's orders, right?"

"The chairman of the committee is estimated not to give such an order, the troops retreating from the third theater are seizing the time to reorganize and prepare for the next stage of the Wuhan battle, and it is impossible to change this big strategic goal for you at this time."

"Yes, the middle strategy is that we set up anti-Japanese guerrilla units in the vast rural areas of the enemy-occupied areas, give them some weapons and ammunition, and let them attack everywhere and blossom everywhere, at least we can drag out a lot of Japanese troops and reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield."

"This method is feasible, but guerrilla warfare is a *** tactic, and we are not familiar with it?"

"Master, can you contact *** and ask them to support us?" Leng Feng asked in a suggestive tone.

"No, by no means, Leng Feng, although we will unite with *** to resist Japan, but in the future, the biggest enemy of the party-state will still be ***, this is a big trouble, and they must not be given the opportunity to grow." Qiu Qingquan said categorically.

"And the other way around?"

"This ......" Qiu Qingquan was stunned, yes, if you talk about it the other way around, why not borrow the hands of the Japanese......

Leng Feng knows very well that the torrent of history cannot be stopped by a certain person or a certain force, and the failure of GMD is inevitable and cannot be violated by the people.

"The next strategy is to block the Japanese landing, which may be the only option for us." Leng Feng said helplessly.

"Since it's the only choice, what's the bother, worrying that Madman Luo will lose the battle?"

"I'm not worried about this, Lao Luo is by no means a person who admits defeat easily, if I let him stay in Yuxikou for a week, he will definitely be able to guard for half a month."

"Isn't this it, the Japanese army has turned around to deal with us, around us, I calculated, the Japanese army in Yuxikou does not count, Dingyuan, Chihe, Chuxian, Yangzhou, more than a brigade, less than a wing, how many Japanese troops are there in the entire Jiangbei, half of them are coming at us, and we are now surrounded on three sides."

"Wrong, at least there are no Japanese troops in the west, this gap was originally filled by the Japanese army from Wuhu going north, but they are now blocked by us at Yuxikou."

"Yes, if we don't occupy Quanjiao first, at this moment, we have almost no depth, and what I am most worried about is the Japanese army in Nanjing, once they cross the river, Pukou will face a real threat." Qiu Qingquan said.

"Then let's fight, Long Yingqin, how many more people can we equip with our equipment?"

"There are not many Japanese-style equipment, and they can probably equip about two or three regiments, as for miscellaneous weapons, there are too many, and 30,000 people is not a big problem."

"How can there be so many?" Qiu Qingquan took a breath of cold air.

"Shizuo, don't you know that we have scavenged all the weapons from the Japanese arsenal, these weapons are not looked down upon by the Japanese army, but for us, they can still be used, the key problem is ammunition, our weapons are varied, and the caliber of ammunition is also, so we are not short of weapons, lack of ammunition." Long Yingqin explained.

"Old Shen, how fast is our bullet reloading?"

"We use the equipment captured from the enemy, as well as the equipment that Commander Xie helped us purchase in Shanghai, and the reloading of bullets can reach about 5,000 rounds per day, and the finished product rate is 70%."

"In other words, there are only three thousand and a half qualified, why is the pass rate so low?"

"On the one hand, because the quality of our ammunition is not high in the first place, and on the other hand, the skills of the workers are not up to standard, so the yield is not high."

"And what about the direct production of our ammunition?"

"It's still being debugged, the time is too tight, and the bullet reloading goes first, so it's not ...... for the time being," Shen Zhiming's voice became lower and lower.
