Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

Chapter 379 Interspersed Operation

379 Insertion Operation

"What? You still want us to attack?"

Soon, the Japanese officers who retreated to the front line near the landing ship received new orders from their regiment commander in the rear.

Let them organize another attack.

This made the Japanese grassroots officers on the front line very angry.

"Baga, why are you still attacking?

Isn't this just asking us to die?

The Chinese have such strong firepower.

Our tanks have all been destroyed, how can we attack?"

A Japanese second lieutenant roared angrily.

"idiot!"

Snapped!

As a result, he was slapped hard in the face by a Japanese major next to him.

"Obey orders, do you want to disobey orders on the battlefield?

Take your soldiers and prepare to attack immediately."

"Hi!"

The Japanese second lieutenant was slapped in the face but did not dare to resist.

Not long after, the Japanese's third wave of attack began.

However, at this time, the Japanese soldiers on the front line had already been defeated by the previous two waves of attacking soldiers.

This caused their morale to drop and they lost interest in fighting.

Looking at the beach littered with the bodies of his companions.

These devils felt that this place was like a slaughterhouse specially prepared for them.

In just half a day, more than half of the people around them were gone.

Even though the Japanese 82nd Regiment was an elite division, they really didn't want to fight at this time.

The veterans of the National Army on Zheng Quezi's side.

If it weren't for the two beliefs of defending the country and revenge, it would probably have collapsed.

This battle was a bloody fight between two elite divisions of the enemy and ours, and was extremely brutal.

"The devils are coming again."

Following the shouting of a Kuomintang soldier.

Behind the beachhead, two or three hundred Nationalist soldiers rushed onto the beach with their weapons.

Prepare to fight again.

When the Japanese did not attack, most of the Kuomintang soldiers on the beachhead.

They will not stay here, but retreat dozens of meters and hide in the trenches.

In the trench at the back, we can avoid the bombardment of the Japanese naval guns.

Preserve their vitality.

They only left a dozen observers on the beachhead.

The reason why so many observers are left is because they are too dangerous.

If we don't leave more people, it is very likely that the observers in front will be killed by the Japanese artillery fire.

No one noticed the Japanese attack, so we need to leave more people behind.

Only after the observer discovered that the Japanese had attacked again would the Kuomintang soldiers behind them re-enter the beachhead position.

It is precisely because of this tactical arrangement.

This is what allowed the National Army soldiers on the battlefield to hold on until now.

Otherwise, if they continued to defend their positions, they would continue to be bombarded by the Japanese naval artillery.

I'm afraid they've all died long ago.

"Damn it, these devils really don't care about their lives.

Why don't you retreat and dare to attack? "

The commander of the third battalion who came up to support from behind sighed as he looked at the Japanese soldiers who had come ashore again and were slowly approaching.

"You came just in time, so we can kill a few more devils.

I don’t believe that these devils are really not afraid of death.

If you are really not afraid of death, that would be the best.

Let them all come and kill them all."

A company commander of the National Army was lying on the trench with a rifle in hand. His eyes were red as he looked at the Japs in the distance and spoke with gritted teeth.

"beat!"

After a while, fierce gunfire sounded again.

However, the offensive will of this wave of Japanese soldiers was not strong at all.

After being hit by firepower from the Kuomintang soldiers on the beachhead, only a small number of casualties occurred.

Just retreat directly.

"idiot!"

On the warship in the rear, the commander of the Japanese 82nd Regiment saw this scene.

He was so angry that he smashed the telescope.

He knew that their soldiers on the front line didn't want to fight anymore.

In this situation, launching further attacks would be meaningless except for causing more casualties.

"Give the order to move in."

Finally, the Japanese captain said helplessly.

"The devils have retreated."

Half an hour later, the Kuomintang soldiers on the beachhead watched the remaining Japanese soldiers climb onto their landing ships.

They fled back to the river in a panic, their warships.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous cheer.

"we won!"

They hugged each other and cried.

It was not easy for them to fight this beachhead battle.

Boom boom!

As a result, the Japanese naval guns' revengeful firing had not stopped yet.

"Fuck you, you damned little Japanese, you still want to disgust me after you lose.

Everyone, stand down."

The third battalion commander shouted loudly.

All the National Army soldiers should leave the beachhead and let the Japanese naval guns bombard them.

"Won."

Zheng Quezi saw the Japanese fleeing through the telescope.

I also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Send a telegram to Commander Ye.

Tell them the good news, we have saved Wenzhou."

Zheng Quezi also felt relieved.

*

When Ye Qingshan received the news from Zheng Quezi that the beachhead blocking battle had been won.

He was personally leading the main force of the 208th Division, hiding during the day and marching at night, for more than a week.

Arrived in the northern part of Tonglu County.

"Chief of Staff, take a look.

Captain Zheng brought good news: a regiment of Japanese invaders landed near Wenzhou.

They drove him into the sea."

Ye Qingshan handed the telegram to Xiao Shanling and said with a smile.

"Yeah, that's good news."

Xiao Shanling took the telegram and became happy.

"Oh, by the way, please send a telegram to the garrison in Fuzhou in my name.

Remind them to be careful of the Japanese landing and fighting on their side."

Ye Qingshan said immediately.

"Why, Commander.

Are you worried that the Japs will attack Fuzhou again?"

Xiao Shanling looked at Ye Qingshan with some surprise.

Ye Qingshan's face was grim as he replied, "More than that.

I am not only worried about Fuzhou, I am also worried about Quanzhou, Xiamen, Shantou, and even Guangzhou.

This wave, we can see from the fact that the Japanese took Ningbo and landed in Wenzhou.

I guess the Japanese's combat intention is not to take over our southern Zhejiang and Fujian provinces.

The Japanese high-ranking officials also knew that this was unlikely.

The terrain here is complex, and it is unlikely that they can take it down without gathering a large number of troops.

Now, the Battle of Wuhan is still going on, and the Japanese are unable to launch a second major battle.

But the Japanese did it by landing on the beach in Wenzhou.

Just attack our important coastal cities and occupy them.

In this way, we can cut off our connection with overseas.

By doing this, the Japanese would not need to attack by land or in mountainous areas, and would not need to gather heavy troops.

But it can achieve the same purpose.

Therefore, the main purpose of this wave of Japanese invaders heading south was not to occupy territory.

The real goal is to capture coastal cities and complete the blockade of our coastline."

"This……"

When Xiao Shanling heard Ye Qingshan's analysis, he was also shocked.

But I also think Ye Qingshan’s analysis makes sense.

"I will send a telegram to the garrisons in Fuzhou and Quanzhou.

Also, send a copy to the High Command.”

"Ah."

Ye Qingshan nodded.

He also did not want Fuzhou and other places to fall.

Although, Wenzhou is still in the hands of Ye Qingshan.

However, Fuzhou, Quanzhou and other coastal cities are still in the hands of the National Army.

That is Ye Qingshan’s second channel for external communication.

What if something goes wrong in Wenzhou later?

Ye Qingshan can also change the transportation route from the United States to Fuzhou and other places to transport supplies.

However, all Ye Qingshan can do now is to remind them.

"Military commander.

The floating bridge has been built.

You can cross the river at any time."

At this time, Zhou Pingkou also entered the command center and reported to Ye Qingshan.

"it is good.

Order the 2nd and 3rd Regiments, and the Engineer Regiment, to cross the river immediately.

Lao Zhou, be careful when you go north.

Telegram anytime.

Once you complete the mission of destroying the enemy's Xiaoshan Airport, head west to meet me.

Remember to be fast in this battle.

We can’t be blocked by the devils.”

Ye Qingshan instructed Zhou Pingkou.

"Yes, Commander.

I see.

You must be careful when you go west."

An hour later, Ye Qingshan led three regiments across the Fuchun River and headed west to Lin'an.

The remaining troops of the 208th Division led by Zhou Pingkou remained where they were.

After dark, continue heading north.

At this time, the main force of the Japanese invaders was defending Hangzhou.

That is, the Japanese 40th Division, a part of which stayed behind to guard the vicinity of Hangzhou, while the main force moved forward and attacked the line from Jinhua to Dapanshan.

Here, they contained the two armies and one division sent by Gu Zhutong, a total of tens of thousands of troops.

But now, the main force of Ye Qingshan's 208th Division took the Tonglu line in the west and bypassed the main force of the Japanese 40th Division.

They went around behind them and approached the outskirts of Hangzhou.

This is a very risky action.

Once the Japanese 40th Division discovered Ye Qingshan’s actions, they would turn around and attack back.

It is very likely that Ye Qingshan’s 208th Division will be blocked in the area south of Hangzhou City.

At that time, we would be surrounded by an entire Japanese division.

No matter how powerful Ye Qingshan's 208th Division is in fighting, something bad is likely to happen.

The reason why Ye Qingshan decided to carry out such a risky infiltration operation.

Just because Chen Cheng personally sent a telegram to Ye Qingshan.

I hope Ye Qingshan can lead his troops to eliminate the Japanese's several large airports around Hangzhou.

This reduced the huge pressure on the Kuomintang defenders in Jiujiang and other places in the west.

It turned out that it was during that month when the Japs stopped attacking.

They are not idle.

Several large airports have been built around Hangzhou.

After all, after the war broke out, the Japanese were going to attack Wuhan.

Their naval aviation cannot operate as well as it does near the coast.

Dispatch carrier-based aircraft to support their army's offensive forces.

At that time, the Japanese air force will want to fly inland to support the Japanese offensive corps attacking Wuhan.

They can only use their army aviation.

Hangzhou is the largest transit airport in the country for these Japanese army aviation forces.

The Japanese Army Air Force was transported from the Japanese country.

We will be here now to complete the inspection, loading and refueling of the fighter jets.

Then, they flew to the front line to carry out bombing missions.

At this time on the Western Front, the Japanese sent out hundreds of bomber sorties every day.

They launched indiscriminate bombings against the Nationalist troops defending Jiujiang, Huangmei and other outermost fronts.

The severity of the battle was no less than that of the Battle of Shanghai.

An entire division was destroyed in one day.

Most of the casualties came from the Japanese heavy artillery and air force bombing.

Chen Cheng had no choice.

The Japanese's large airports are all in the Hangzhou area, which are out of their reach.

On the contrary, Ye Qingshan has more chances.

Chen Cheng had no choice but to ask Ye Qingshan to find a way to help them solve this problem.
