In the Chairman's Office, Secretary-General Yang is reporting on the latest situation:

"Earlier on the 13th, the 66th Regiment of the 114th Division continued to attack near Siliqiao from the front.

At 9 a.m., the Japanese army launched an attack on the 79th Division of the defender and detoured south with a battalion, and immediately suffered a head-on attack.

The defenders used bunker fortifications and shooting holes opened in private houses to shoot at the Japanese army everywhere, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Although the Japanese army used grenade launchers to destroy the firepower points on the houses, they were at a loss in front of the reinforced concrete bunkers.

The wing artillery was completely ineffective. Although the Navy dispatched aircraft to support and carried out low-altitude bombing and strafing at our positions, it still had little effect.

In the afternoon, after the enemy's 150th Regiment arrived, he and the 66th Regiment attacked Siliqiao together, but the battle still made no progress.

In the blazing fire net formed by heavy machine guns in our army's bunkers, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and were forced to stop attacking and wait for the support of heavy weapons in the rear.

After nightfall, the 79th Division continued to dispatch small troops to attack the Japanese positions, causing the Japanese army to deal with it."

"kindness!"

Hearing this, the Chairman nodded. Secretary-General Yang continued to report:

"In the 18th Division, the 124th Regiment used a small force to raid from Taigu Bridge in the early morning of the same day, and captured several bunkers.

Immediately, after the cigarette butt was deployed, a brigade launched a forced crossing under the cover of mountain cannons and flamethrowers. The 763rd Regiment of Shu'anqing's unit in our army mistakenly thought that the Japanese army was emitting poison gas, and in a panic, the Japanese army succeeded.

The Japanese follow-up troops immediately entered the attack and crossed the river to seize the starting position.

At 6 a.m., the 124th Regiment concentrated eight heavy machine guns and various artillery to carry out violent suppression and fire at the 382nd Brigade position, and then concentrated its forces to advance towards Qianjiabang and the highway.

The 763rd Regiment and the 764th Regiment fought to the death. The two sides repeatedly fought hand-to-hand combat on the position. In the fierce battle, the 764th Regiment commander Shen Quan was injured. The regiment deputy Yang Feiteng and the 763rd Regiment deputy Yang Zhengyin were killed in battle. The battalion commander was killed and three seriously injured. The platoon leader soldier was even more severely injured. The positions were successively broken through by the Japanese army.

Fortunately, Liu Yaoqing immediately led the 768th Regiment from the rear to occupy the position and block the Japanese attack.

However, the 124th Regiment soon discovered that there were a large number of bunker groups in front of the road, and the firepower was extremely fierce.

After several hours of repeated charges, Mi Dachang, deputy of the 768th regiment, was killed and the regiment commander Liu Yaoqing was seriously injured. However, the efforts of the 768th regiment were not in vain, and it also caused heavy casualties and was unable to attack again.

But from noon, the 767th Regiment, which guarded both sides of the railway, was also violently attacked by the Japanese army. The regiment resolutely blocked and repelled countless charges of the Japanese army, and its position stood firm.

At the same time, the 23rd Brigade of the Japanese army also devoted all its strength to launch a general attack on the 109th Division position on the left, launching an unprecedentedly fierce battle across the entire line.

At 8 a.m., the right wing position of the 109th Division was broken through by the Japanese army. Brigade Commander Ge Yanchun supervised the battle on the front line and was shot and injured. One battalion commander died and injured. The troops were shaken.

The division commander Zhao Yi personally led the 650 and 653rd Regiment, and with the cooperation of Ouyang Regiment of the 13th Brigade, the Japanese army launched a large-scale counterattack. During the battle, the commanders of all units led the way, and most of the officers of the battalion were killed.

After countless battles, all positions were successfully restored and the enemy 23rd Brigade was defeated.

At 16:00 p.m., Liu Jianxu ordered the remaining troops of the 109th Division to temporarily return to the command of the 128th Division.

In the evening, Gu Jiaqi, commander of the 128th Division, ordered the right wing defense line to be contracted to the river channel around Jiashan Railway Station,..."

The chairman frowned more and more as he heard it, it was obvious that the situation of the battle was not optimistic.

Although the soldiers in front fought bravely, some officers who were greedy and afraid of death still misled the major affairs of the party and the country.

If this is the case, it is a question whether Wu Fu's line can be defended.

Moreover, based on the war report, he knew that the casualties of various units of the National Army were very large. Some units were even damaged.

"Hmph, is there no good news?"

The chairman slapped the table angrily. He wanted to listen to the war report because he wanted to hear good news. Instead of fighting to the death, how many people died or how many people were injured. What he wanted was good news.

Secretary-General Yang grinned awkwardly because there was no good news.

However, he had a sudden inspiration and remembered the Dragon Boat Festival. He smiled reluctantly and said, "Class, that monkey boy is in the 40th Division."

The chairman was angry: "Why did he run to the 40th Division again? Didn't I ask him to come back quickly?"

Secretary-General Yang quickly smiled and said, "Committee, listen to me!"

Speaking of this, Secretary-General Yang took out the newspaper that Matsui Ishien had interviewed with reporters from many countries and said, "Committee, I have been on the phone with that monkey. The monkey yelled at me and said that the newspaper is nothing.

He led half of the independent regiment to break through, attacked the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp, and rescued the captain of the Ocean Captain Wang Yuanyang.

Later, based on the information of Commander Wang Yuanyang, he passed through multiple Japanese blockades and captured the newly repaired armored cruiser Izumo at the dock. He also exchanged fire with the enemy ships at the sea.

According to the monkey, he sank seven enemy ships, including two light cruisers. The Izumo was also caught in too many shots and eventually sank at the bottom of the river eight kilometers away from the Huangshan Fort.

Moreover, I have confirmed this to the 762nd Regiment of the 112th Division. Many people in the 112th Division witnessed all this and saw the sinking of the Izumo.

In addition, Wang Yuanyang was also on the way back to Nanjing under the escort of the 112th Division.

So I infer that the monkey didn't lie."

Bang!

"Very good!"

The chairman slapped the table and finally let out a long sigh.

These days, he has been so bored. All the battle reports are either fighting to the death or fighting tenaciously. Although they have eliminated the enemy, there is no victory.

But the Dragon Boat Festival, which he called the monkey, brought him a big surprise.

"Very good, very good, let that monkey come back. I want to reward him. Fight bravely and command properly. I want to reward him with a Yunhui medal, a Baoding medal, and a Loyalty and courage medal."

The Chairman was so happy that he rewarded three medals in a row, which was a pioneer.

Secretary-General Yang said with some concern: "Committee, don't spoil this kid. Are you not afraid of him going to heaven?"

The chairman said disdainfully: "Who has the ability to go to heaven. The first fleet and the second fleet were almost wiped out, but what happened? How many Japanese warships sank? What I heard was that our warships were sunk, and then they sank themselves to block the river.

Humph! Do they think my money is blowing from the strong wind? If anyone is not satisfied, go and sink a few Japanese warships for me. I will also promote them and make money!"

Secretary-General Yang smiled and said, "Committee, you have sweared too!"

The chairman covered his mouth and cursed, "I was all ruined by that monkey. Or he said, learning is difficult, but learning is bad. When the monkey curses again, I will deduct his money.

Yes, I will deduct his money. I asked this kid to curse her while hungry. Do I think he can still scold her? Hahaha!"

The chairman laughed, and Secretary-General Yang, who was beside him, also laughed. Because although this monkey was noisy, he always brought them surprises.
Chapter completed!
