Chapter 305 Luokouling Victory (Part 1)
September 25, 1938, 9:00 am.
Wuchang City, the 29th Army Interim Command.
Commander-in-chief Wang Zhangxu shouted: "Xu Shaozong!"
"arrive!"
"I order that the 67th Army has more than 30,000 troops to set out immediately and hurry to the north of Luokouling. Be sure to build an ambush position before 8 am tomorrow!"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I, Xu Shaozong, promise to complete the task!" Xu Shaozong responded loudly.
Commander-in-chief Wang Zhangxu continued to shout and issue orders:
"Xu Guozhang, you will immediately lead the 150th Division to the central area of Luokouling!"
"Peng Shiliang led the temporary 5th Division to the southern part of Luokouling."
"Wang Zejun, Gou Fugui, and Li Longshan led the 5th Brigade, the 11th Brigade, and the 1st Army Special Regiment to the 092 Highland in the east of Luokouling, the 071 Highland in the west, and the 083 Highland in the northwest."
Xu Guozhang, Peng Shiliang, Wang Zejun, Gou Fugui, and Li Longshan were all powerful generals of the Sichuan Army. Ouyang knew the names of them and their fate later.
In addition to Li Longshan, in the late period of the Liberation War, he led his troops to accompany Xu Shaozong to respond to the People's Liberation Army uprising.
The other four people died heroically during the Anti-Japanese War!
The Iron Blood Sichuan Army is worthy of its name!
At this moment, Ouyang was aside, listening to the orders of Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhangxu, and his heart was like a storm.
I never expected that Wang Zhangxu would be so bold and courageous!
The total strength of the 29th Army was nearly 100,000, while the strength sent to Luokouling was as many as 70,000.
Less than 30,000 people were left to attack the 106th Japanese Division and drive them to Luokou Ridge.
This is obviously a very risky move!
The Sichuan Army with 30,000 people drove out more than 10,000 Japanese troops. If one of them was not done well, he might not be able to drive the dog away and instead be injured!
Extreme risk!
High risk will lead to high returns!
The greater the risk, the greater the profit.
The Sichuan Army, with 70,000 people, was ambushed in the steep mountains and ridges of Luokouling, and making good use of the favorable terrain was enough to cause a heavy blow to the 106th Division of the Japanese Army.
This is obviously the 29th Army, with the attack on the whole line, almost all the available troops were sent to Luokou Ridge, without leaving a way out for himself.
If you fail, you will be successful!
Swear to burn your boat!
Commander-in-chief Wang Zhangxu, with his eyes firm, shouted: "This battle is not only a battle that concerns the reputation of our Sichuan Army, but also a battle that concerns the entire Wuhan battle and even the fate of China's anti-Japanese war!"
"All officers and soldiers of my 29th Army should do their best, not be afraid of difficulties, dare to sacrifice, and leave every drop of blood in the soil that flows into the motherland!"
"Everyone, remember our oath of leaving Sichuan: the war of resistance will last until the end, that is, the enemy will not withdraw from the border for a day, and the Sichuan army will not return home for a day!"
"I just say one thing, fuck him~Damn!"
"Now I order each unit to launch an attack immediately!"
After the words came, every general present shouted in unison.
Ouyang was also deeply shocked by the scene in front of him!
This is the Sichuan Army!
This is the roar of our passionate Chinese men!
"I will never give up until the Japanese invaders are destroyed!"
After the combat order was issued, the military officers of the National Army immediately left and began the combat deployment, but Ouyang was left alone by Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhangxu.
Wang Zhangxu took off a dagger made of gold from his body, handed it to Ouyang with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ou, this dagger was given to me by Commander-in-Chief Liu personally before I left Sichuan. It is very important to me, but today, I want to give him to you!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang quickly refused.
This dagger made of gold, not to mention that it is all made of gold, is valuable. The most important thing is that it was given to Wang Zhangxu by Liu Xiang, the boss of the Sichuan Army. Its value is even more huge. It represents the honor and status of a soldier.
Wang Zhangxu said firmly: "Brother Ou, you must accept it. This dagger not only represents the honor and status of our Sichuan Army, but also represents the Chinese military spirit who dares to sacrifice and dedicate. Therefore, I hope you can accept it!"
Sacrifice and dedication?
At this moment, Ouyang was not pretentious and solemnly took the dagger with both hands!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
September 25, 1938, 9:30 am.
Ouyang summoned everyone from the White Tiger Column to remove the first and second regiments that had already arrived at Luokoudian, the northernmost part of Luokouling.
Ouyang said in a deep voice: "Now I order all the soldiers of the White Tiger Column Artillery Regiment, Independent Regiment, Guard Company, Tank Company, Logistics Company, etc. to set off immediately and go to Luokoudian to quickly reinforce the first and second regiments. Be sure to intercept the 136th Brigade of the Japanese reinforcement force, so as to get enough time for the Sichuan brothers to annihilate the enemy."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On that day, 10 am.
The 29th Army's 44th Army, plus the 10,000 troops directly under the 29th Army's 20,000 troops, a total of 30,000 people, launched a fierce attack on the 106th Japanese Division trapped in Huangpi!
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Countless artillery fires bombarded the Huangpi Mountains, and huge explosions blew up a large area of stones, and the entire Japanese mountain turned into a huge sea of fire.
A strong attack, only by using a strong attack can the Japanese force be forced down the mountain!
Liao Zhen, the commander of the 44th Army, shouted: "Brothers, suppress the artillery fire for me. Only when we fight harder can we drive the Japanese down the mountain!"
"So who dares not do his best to do his best? I will immediately engage in military law!"
At this moment, the Japanese army on the top of Huangpi Mountain was in panic all day long under the fierce attack of the Sichuan army.
The Japanese adjutant shouted: "Secretary Commander, the Sichuan Army is crazy and is just trying to fight. We have repelled them for 6 consecutive attacks, but the Sichuan Army continues to launch a new round of attacks!"
For a moment, the other Japanese commanders were also numb.
"Baga, Chinese~ soldiers, since they are seeking death, we will help them!"
"We occupy the terrain power of Huangpi, let alone the 100,000 Sichuan Army, and even the 100,000 Central Army, we don't have 20 days to take down our position!"
"Although our army occupy the terrain and is easy to defend, if this situation continues, our army will inevitably be defeated if it continues. I think we should find gaps in the enemy's encirclement, break out quickly, meet with the 136th Brigade, and make plans!"
Upon hearing what everyone said, the commander of the 106th Division, Lieutenant General Junji Matsuura nodded in praise.
"Yaxi! You are worthy of being my great Japanese~ The elites of this empire are not afraid of difficulties or death, but Kojima Jun said it very well. Sticking to wait for assistance is not the best strategy, only breaking through is the best strategy."
"Now, our troops will fight back tenaciously, defeat the Sichuan army's offensive, find breakthrough points, and break through!"
~~~~~~~~~~
It was 12 noon that day.
Wang Zhangxu, commander-in-chief of the 29th Army, immediately ordered: "Open the gate and release the water, immediately give up the encirclement in the north, and our army is ready to start driving the dogs!"
Chapter completed!
