Chapter 223: The Bloody Battle of the Iron Bridge


After receiving the intelligence department, Yokoyama Yong, who was in the lake village on the bank of Xianjia Lake outside Changsha City, stood in front of the map and pondered for a while, and suddenly laughed, and Mitsuki Senchi, a senior special staff officer of the dispatch army standing on the side, asked puzzledly: "Your Excellency General, what do you think is the meaning of the transfer of the First Mechanized Army of the Chongqing Government in China?"

Yokoyama Yong smiled and said to Mitsuki Senchi: "The Chinese have an old saying, virtual is real, real is false, this is the art of war, Song Yuhang is very cunning, he wants to use my method to deal with them in turn against me, hahahahaha" "What do you mean is that the intelligence of the First Mechanized Army stationed in Hengyang on the Chinese side must be fake, and it is the tactical deception of the other side," explained him convincingly.

Yokoyama Isamu was obviously in a very good mood today, otherwise he would have let the chattering Mitsuki Senchi roll aside, and he patiently explained: "Although Song Yuhang is famous for his perseverance, but from his attitude towards the British and the cruelty of our prisoners, I judge that this person's true character should be very advocacy of attack, and the characteristic of his only mechanized army in Asia, armed by the Americans, is to attack."

"Kunming and Longling before that" concluded: "That was Song Yuhang's last resort, now the situation is very different, Hengyang has the last Changsha battle to defend the city of the general Fang Xianjue, there is no need for Song Yuhang to defend the city, he has full leeway, so he will not be stupid to put his troops into the city, where there is a fight will tie his hands and feet A young and ambitious tiger will never take the initiative to get into the cage" Yokoyama Yong coughed, and then added: "Song Yuhang just wanted us to think that he was in Hengyang City, in fact, he had already jumped out of the lane with his main force, and suddenly jumped out and bit us hard when we were careless, he shouldn't have made a big fuss, lest our spy personnel don't know, what really is to treat our spy personnel as stupid, and his biggest flaw is the 40,000 sets of quilts he received after entering the city, In fact, with Song Yuhang and his people, he could have transported these clothes to Shaoyang, and secretly drove to Hengyang in batches after changing clothes."

Hou Yokoyama said triumphantly to Mitsuki Senchi: "Mitsuki-kun, this is what the people of Shina said, a typical smart but clever mistaken end." ” Guangmu Senchi also said in a timely manner: "Your Excellency, I have never admired anyone, today you have really convinced me with your wisdom, I wish you a successful start and success, I believe that after Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of the Dispatch Army, you will be the best candidate selected by the base camp." ” Everyone can shoot sycophants, but it is very difficult to shoot well and skillfully, Mitsuki Senike's means of flaunting himself to praise Yokoyama Isamu is simply unprecedented, and Yokoyama Isamu is very comfortable to shoot, and he ordered the guard officer to buy wine and food while looking refreshed, and he and Hitsuki Senchi wanted to have a drink. 222, the main forces of the 68th Regiment and the 116th Division of the Japanese Army entered the vicinity of Hengyang and began to carry out a tentative attack on the outskirts of the airfield and the first-line defenders of Huangshaling.

On the evening of the 22nd, the two agreed that at 0:00 the next day, the 68th Division and the 116th Division launched a general attack from the south to the north and the 116th Division from west to east at the same time, and took the small Hengyang in one go.

Sakuma, who was slightly next to each other, patted Iwanaga on the shoulder intimately and said with a smile, "The two of us made a bet."

Let's see who can enter Hengyang first."

Iwanaga looked at the sky and waved his hand vaguely in the starlight: "What is there to compare with little Hengyang, it is better to see who destroys the US bomber first."

It's better to see who enters Chongqing first."

The two were about to high-five and swear.

Suddenly, an operational staff officer of the 68th Division ran briskly in front of the two men.

He snapped and said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander."

After our reconnaissance pioneers fed back the news.

The Chinese army had no intention or indication of blowing up the Xiangjiang Bridge.

And also sent troops to defend it" "Oh," Sakuma glanced at Iwanaga with the same expression, bewildered.

They naturally knew who Fang Xianjue was.

Such a general would have made such a low-level mistake, and if the Chinese army was not prepared to blow up the bridge, then they must have been negligent in their busy schedules.

Or the little devil, what kind of bullshit is singing is ugly, and I will call the artillery battalion in a while, let them beat hard, and let them listen to the song of our artillery."

After Hiroshi Ichiki's right foot stepped on the bridge deck, he made a pose that he thought was very chic and brave, and then Yukio Hayashi, who was with the army, hurriedly captured Hiroshi Ichagi's heroic posture.

The Japanese soldiers suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar, and rushed to the other side of the bridge with accelerated steps, because they knew that the farther away from the crowd, the safer, and the faster they rushed, the smaller the probability of being hit by bullets, and when they arrived under the Chinese defenders' positions, the follow-up troops would take over their main attack, so the attack was not the highest chance of death, at least for experienced veterans.

The 10-meter, 20-meter, 50-meter, and 80-meter bridgehead was in sight, but the Japanese shock force had not yet received any firepower The people of China must have collapsed, as in the past, in times of despair, often most of the Chinese army will quietly collapse, and those positions must be littered with weapons and uniforms, victory seems to be in sight, and Hiroshi Ichiki roared and charged while constantly comforting himself The Japanese soldiers, in a gesture of cheering characteristic of victory, screamed with all their might, and frantically pounced on the Chinese defenders' positions.
