Outside Wuchang City, the temporary headquarters of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army.
The commander of the division, Junrokuro Matsuura, was observing the battle of his soldiers through a telescope.
At this moment, the adjutant of the Japanese army stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Excellency the division commander, our department has just received an urgent message from Commander Okamura Ninji. ” "Commander Okamura Ningji gave great praise to the siege of Wuchang launched by our department, and asked our department to take Wuchang within two hours, and then swallow the three towns of Wuhan."
"Using Wuhan as a support point, feigning a westward advance posture, forcing the 29th Army of the Chinese army and the main force of Xue Yue's Ninth Theater to return to Wuhan" Hearing this, Junrokuro Matsuura, the commander of the division, received the telegram and felt a burst of excitement in his heart.
This is the commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, with the praise of Okamura Ninji, known as the "God of War of the Army" of the Japanese Army, even though Junrokuro Matsuura, like Okamura Ninji, is the rank of lieutenant general of the Japanese army, and he was born in 1884 The 33rd President of the United States Truman, also born in this year.
But the gold content of the two of them is obviously different.
Okamura Ninji, starting in 1904, began his military career as a squad leader, and fought fiercely with the Russian army on Sakhalin Island in his first battle.
Note: After the Second Opium War in 1858, Tsarist Russia, as a mediator between the British and French forces and the Qing government, forced the Qing government to sign the humiliating Treaty of Tianjin and the Sino-Russian Aihui Treaty, ceding a large area of territory from China.
Among them are not only Lake Belga, Trans-Khinganling, Ussuri River, but also Sakhalin Island.
So far, in the 21 st century, the vast majority of people have only focused on the disputes over Taiwan, the Diaoyu Islands, and the South China Sea, and only a very small number of indignant youths will often shout the slogan of returning Sakhalin Island.
In 1932, in order to divert the attention of the international community after 918, Okamura Ninji sent troops to Shanghai, and together with Yoshiko Kawai, planned and organized the 128 Incident that shocked the world, forcing Chairman Chiang to make various concessions to the Japanese army, including the cession of the "Northeast".
However, the Nationalist Government, represented by Chairman Chiang, did not agree to the article of "ceding the Northeast."
The 11th Army of the Japanese Army under the command of Okamura Ninji was an important part of the Japanese army invading China, with 7 divisions and an independent mixed brigade under its jurisdiction, among which the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, which had fought with Ouyang in Xiayi, Henan, was also in the establishment of the 11th Army.
Okamura Ninji's "military exploits" are impressive, and his status and prestige are unattainable for Junrokuro Matsuura.
Therefore, the commander of the division, Junrokuro Matsuura, was very excited about being praised by Okamura Ninji At that moment, Junrokuro Matsuura said excitedly: "You immediately call back to His Excellency the commander, and say that our department will take Wuchang within another 2 hours."
"Hi" the Japanese adjutant immediately replied.
At this moment, Junrokuro Matsuura also felt how lucky he was, the 106th Division he commanded was ordered to go to Wanjialing on Nanxun Road to attack the rear of Xue Yue's main force.
How do you know that the 106th Division got lost in the mountains and mountains, and by mistake and mistake, it actually came to the city of Wuchang, which is obviously an extremely lucky thing.
Under the speculation of the Japanese army, as long as the three towns of Wuhan can be taken, the millions of Chinese troops who have lost their material supplies will inevitably withdraw from the defensive line set up and return to Wuhan, then the Japanese army's victorious fighters will come.
The surprise attack on Wuchang was simply the most precious gift from God to the Japanese army.
And the 106th Division, as long as Wuchang is taken, then he Junrokuro Matsuura is the hero of the imperial holy war After the excitement, Junrokuro Matsuura asked again: "When will the follow-up troops of our department arrive?"
At that moment, the adjutant replied: "Your Excellency the division commander, at present, under the city of Wuchang, our department has assembled the 136th Brigade and the 289th Artillery Wing, a total of more than 7,000 people, as for the 137th Brigade and the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, they are also coming at full speed, and it is estimated that it will take one hour. ” "Roaring" Hearing this, Matsuura Junrokuro was overjoyed, "When all our follow-up troops arrive, it will be the moment when we launch a general attack, and the Wuchang in front of us, the strength of the Chinese army, is only a few thousand, as long as we launch a wave of attacks, we can completely take Wuchang." ” "At that time, even if the 29th Army of the Sichuan Army arrives, it will be too late, and in this battle, the balance of victory has completely fallen to our Imperial Japanese Army."
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Order the follow-up troops, accelerate the deployment of the team, as for the front-line siege troops, don't stop for a moment, give me to continue the onslaught, I want to make the Chinese completely frightened under the mighty offensive of my Great Japanese Imperial Army" "Hi," the Japanese adjutant responded.
At this moment, in the mind of Junrokuro Matsuura, he was already fantasizing about the moment when he took Wuchang City, the moment when he became a hero of the empire.
"The Chinese army is a rabble, vulnerable to a single attack" Suddenly, there was a huge explosion between heaven and earth, and an incomparably loud shout of killing came "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" This was accompanied by bursts of fierce artillery fire, which continued to fall on the Japanese positions, and the night completely illuminated the city "Yaga" In an instant, Junrokuro Matsuura woke up from his sweet dream, furious What's going on Where did the cannon sound and shouts of killing come from?
Could it be that reinforcements from the 29th Army have arrived?
How can it be The 29th Army arrived the fastest, and it would take more than 2 hours The Japanese adjutant ran in in a panic and shouted: "Your Excellency the division commander, the city gate of Wuchang City suddenly opened, and the Chinese troops in the city actually launched an attack on our department, our department came in a hurry, and did not build any defensive positions at all, and the warriors of the empire suffered heavy casualties."
"Yaga" Junrokuro Matsuura, with a look of disbelief on his face, roared: "How is it possible, shouldn't the Chinese army be cowering in the city like rats, how can they have the courage to charge our Imperial Japanese Army" "Knort" Junrokuro Matsuura suddenly pulled out his command knife and roared: "Order the artillery wing to quickly retreat, and the infantry wings of each division, quickly resist the attack of the Shina people."
"Hi," the adjutant hurriedly replied.
At this moment, Junrokuro Matsuura was completely shocked and panicked In this siege, in order to increase the speed of the siege, he had to put the artillery wing at the forefront of the position, hoping that the fierce artillery superiority would completely break the inner defense line of the Chinese.
He never thought that the Chinese army would attack them, because according to their previous experience, most of the Chinese army was passive defense, and rarely jumped out of positions and cities to launch counterattacks.
At this moment, the Chinese defenders actually launched a counterattack, and the 106th Division, which did not expect this, would surely suffer heavy losses.
In particular, the artillery company at the forefront of the position will be completely reduced to a target.
Inside the city of Wuchang.
The artillery regiment led by Yang Zhihua quickly built dozens of artillery guns, especially three large-caliber howitzers, which exerted great power.
Yang Zhihua shouted: "First battalion, quickly adjust the muzzle, the target distance is four hundred and eighty-five, the height is plus seven, and the direction is left plus nine, carry out covering bombing, and destroy the Japanese artillery wing for me."
The artillery fighters who received the order opened fire quickly, and the cannons let out a huge roar in unison like the wrath of the gods "It's so enjoyable" Li Da, who was on the side, put down the binoculars and laughed: "Regiment commander, this little devil is really stupid, the first time I saw it, someone actually set up an artillery position at the forefront of the position, this kind of fighter, I have seen it for the first time in my eight lives."
"Huh" Yang Zhihua, the god of artillery, nodded and smiled: "Ability, the little devils are not too stupid, but too rampant, they don't believe that we will take the initiative to attack."
Therefore, in order to increase the siege firepower, the Japanese army set up artillery positions in the forward positions, and it is estimated that at this moment, the intestines of the little devil commander should be repentant."
Immediately ordered: "Don't stop the artillery fire, I want to let the little devil's artillery fire be completely muted."
On the other side, the 1st Regiment, 2nd Regiment, and Independent Regiment of the White Tiger Column, as well as the 450th Regiment and 452nd Regiment of the National Army, also spread out the formation with the assistance of artillery fire.
Ouyang shouted: "Now I order, Zhou Weiguo, you immediately lead a regiment and attack the enemy's right flank" "Jiang Daya, you immediately lead the second regiment and attack the enemy's left flank" "The Separate Regiment, the 450th Regiment, the 452nd Regiment, and the rest of the divisions, immediately launched a frontal attack on the enemy" At that moment, everyone shouted in unison: "Yes" The second update was sent, and the author continued to work hard for the third update t1706231537:
