Chapter 382: The Battle of Xiangbei


September is destined to be a restless month.

Judging from various signs that the coming war is coming, it has finally become a fact.

The Japanese army officially launched an attack on Hunan in September, consisting of the 106th Division, the 3rd Division, the 33rd Division, the 101st Division, three mixed brigades, and other reinforced forces.

The Eleventh Army, with more than 100,000 troops, swooped down on the Ninth War Zone.

Its purpose was to annihilate the main force of the national army in the Ninth War Zone in northern Hunan and the Xiushui area.

The Ninth Theater has jurisdiction over a vast area.

It has defense zones in the three provinces of Hunan, Wuhan, and Jiangxi.

Part of the troops are in Jiangxi, and the rest of the main force is in Hunan.

The Ninth Theater is not a soft persimmon, and it is not weak in terms of the strength of the troops.

All the troops in the theater are There are a total of 21 armies, as well as various miscellaneous units, including many of the main forces of the Central Army with strong combat effectiveness, such as the 74th Army, the 52nd Army, the 73rd Army, etc.

In theory, the Fifth Army is currently also under the sequence of the Ninth Theater.

The Japanese army is approaching fiercely, but the Ninth Theater is not without the ability to fight back.

Both sides have the capital to fight to the death.

The Japanese army pressed heavily on the territory, and its firepower, combat quality, and firepower utilization capabilities were far superior to those of the national army, and it was equipped with a large number of aviation and naval forces.

The advantage of the Ninth War Zone lies in the favorable terrain and the ease of work.

The Ninth War Zone has many mountainous areas, as well as lakes, rivers, Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake, Xinqiang River, Miluo River, Laodao River, etc.

These are all natural advantages.

The Japanese army The troops are highly mechanized.

These favorable geographical conditions favoring the national army undoubtedly played a constraining role in the Japanese army's maneuvering and advance.

The national army in the ninth theater actively responded and faced the Japanese army.

The 58th Army, the 60th Army, and the 32nd Army of the 19th Army were concentrated.

The 49th Army, the 15th Army, the 52nd Army, the 79th Army, the 37th Army, the 27th Army, the 20th Army, and the 73rd Army blocked the attacks one by one.

After the defenses were deployed, the game between the Japanese Eleventh Army and the Ninth Theater began.

Quanzhou, Guangxi, where the Fifth Army is stationed, is at the junction of Hunan and Guangxi.

With the fighting in northern Hunan, the Fifth Army is also uneasy.

The Fifth Army is theoretically a unit of the Ninth War Zone, but it is also a unit directly under the Central Military Commission. , from the command level, it seems that we should listen to the Military Commission.

However, with the war in northern Hunan, if the Ninth Theater Command issues a transfer order, the Fifth Army should also take action, and the command structure is quite complicated.

There are no transfer orders yet, but the Fifth Army has begun to make various battle preparations, and the headquarters of the Fifth Army has made the biggest move.

The headquarters of the Fifth Army began to distribute ammunition to the divisions, the military automobile regiment prepared to transport soldiers and tanks, and the tank repair factory directly under the military headquarters also began to store spare parts and prepare for repair work.

In the garrison of the Fifth Army divisions near Quanzhou, since the beginning of the Xiangbei War, soldiers from the Fifth Army's special agent battalion often came to inspect and supervise the deserters of each department.

Many soldiers from each division who tried to escape were caught and bagged. , running away at this juncture and being a deserter will be severely punished.

Although the battle atmosphere in the infantry division below was not heavy and it was not as busy as a military-affiliated unit, it was still different from usual.

All outgoing officers were recalled, and the troops began to formally seal the camp gates, strictly check deserters, and inventory weapons.

Live ammunition that was not easily distributed to soldiers also began to be distributed in increasing quantities.

Some companies recovered their weapons in the middle of the night, locked their guns, and put all their weapons and equipment at the disposal of the soldiers.

It was a scene of combat readiness.

At least Zhang Wei's teaching brigade stationed near the division headquarters has already felt the atmosphere of "big fight".

"According to frontline news, on September 14, the Japanese army launched an attack on the 184th Division of our 60th Army in northern Jiangxi.

The 74th Army of our 19th Group Army, 32nd Army, The 58th Army of the First Group and other units deployed along the Gaoyou, Shanggao and Jinjiangkou lines, and were commanded by Commander Luo Zhuo Ying to respond to the enemy. " "The enemy's 106th Division first attacked our army.

Then it divided into two groups, attacking Yinshan, Luofang and other places.

The other group attacked the Gao'an area.

Our army blocked them layer by layer.

Now they are fighting fiercely in the direction of Xiangbei.

The main force of the Japanese army is also approaching.

Fierce fighting in southern Hubei and northern Hunan will begin soon, and it is expected that the main battlefield will be northern Hunan. " In the headquarters of the New 22nd Division, officers from all battalions and above gathered together to listen to the battle report.

Division Chief of Staff Chai Zhao conveyed the latest news from the front to the officers, combining maps and simple The explanation was given on the sand table, and the officers gathered around.

Zhang Wei could also feel the severity of the situation through Chai Zhao's brief speech.

A few months ago, he was stationed near Xiangtan.

Now, Hunan is about to become a battlefield.

The changes caused by these battles have only occurred in a few months.

Completed.

"The Japanese have a big appetite this time and have concentrated their main forces.

The purpose is to severely damage our ninth theater.

There are a large number of our main forces in the ninth theater.

This is a fierce battle."

Walking near the sand table Crazy Qiu said.

"Master, when will we drive over?"

The person who spoke was Colonel Xiong Xiaosan, the commander of the 66th Regiment.

The question he asked was also the question that all the officers in this room, including Zhang Wei, were most concerned about.

The front line How hard they hit is one thing, and when the Fifth Army will attack is another, and this aspect is the most important to the officers.

Madman Qiu hesitated for a moment and did not answer.

The Fifth Army Headquarters was obviously preparing for war, but there was indeed no news of the order to open the front line.

If you wanted to ask when it would be launched, Madman Qiu, the division commander, did not know.

Even the commander of the army, Commander Du, did not receive it.

Deputy Commander Liao took over the words: "There are no transfer orders in the army yet, so you just need to be prepared.

Each regiment and each unit directly under the command will strictly check the phenomenon of deserters.

If any deserters are found, they can make their own decisions and report them to the regiment level.

If necessary, They can be shot on the spot as a deterrent, but they are not allowed to be buried alive."

"The division commander and I, as well as Chief of Staff Chai, have not received orders from the army.

Now we are just distributing ammunition.

Don't worry about the excess.

Everything is subject to orders.

Each regiment will send people to collect ammunition and supplies within three days.

Food and ammunition are distributed according to four base numbers, and grain is distributed according to three base numbers.

Try to distribute as much as possible.

When the surplus is in the hands of the soldiers, each regiment will store and carry the excess by themselves.

Military pay will be quickly distributed after it is delivered to the regiment.

This month's military pay and next month's military pay will be distributed together.

Although the order from above has not been issued, it may be drawn up anytime and anywhere.

Each unit must do a good job.

Preparation for departure, whether to go up or not, is a matter of just one sentence."

Hearing Deputy Commander Liao's words, the officers felt confident that they would not be able to join the ranks.

"You just follow the instructions of the deputy commander and prepare for war, so that everything will be worry-free.

From the weapons and ammunition to the heads of soldiers, you must be meticulous and prepare for war."

Crazy Qiu said.
