Chapter 1418 play a big game
Under this situation, Tagaji Takahashi had to adjust his offensive tactics and sent a brigade of Japanese troops to intersperse from the junction of the 10th Preparatory Division and the 190th Division, attempting to launch an encirclement and annihilation of the 10th Preparatory Division.
But Fang Juexian discovered the Japanese army's intention in time, decisively gave up the left position, contracted the first defense line, and instead defended the Jinpenling and Huangtuling lines, once again blocking the Japanese army in front of the position.
At the same time, the artillery troops on Yuelu Mountain are also assisting in the battle and providing firepower support to various battlefields, causing great pressure and casualties to the Japanese army.
"Baga, cunning!"
Tagaji Takahashi really didn't expect Fang Juexian to react so quickly, and the attack was frustrated and unable to achieve a breakthrough made him even more anxious.
Because Tagaji Takahashi knew very well that Commander Anan Weiji, who was expeditioning the Yueyang Army Command Post, was eagerly waiting for good news and eagerly hoped that the 3rd Division could occupy Changsha as soon as possible.
At the same time, with the strong intuition of the soldiers, Tagaji Takahashi felt that if they could not conquer Changsha as soon as possible, they would be trapped in heavy troops.
"Kato, now the war has reached a critical moment, and it will be up to you Kato Team's performance next."
The Kato brigade is famous for its brave attacks and is good at night battles. Originally, Tagaji Takahashi planned to use this brigade in the most critical battle.
But considering various factors, Tagaji Takahashi could only play out the ace that Xue had hidden in his hand in advance.
Japan and Germany have equipped the vehicle-mounted night vision device, but the night vision device equipped with individual soldiers has not been completely successful so far, so night battles are still quite difficult for the Japanese army.
However, Tagaji Takahashi has no time to waste, so it is impossible to wait until dawn to attack.
Major Kato Soichi paused with confidence and said, "Please rest assured, General, we will live up to our high expectations!"
"Yoxi!"
Tagaji Takahashi nodded with satisfaction, then looked down at his watch and said, "After an hour, our army will launch an attack again at nine o'clock. Kato, you go down and be prepared. I will send you up at a critical moment, and I will give you the greatest opportunity to make the most credit!"
"Thank you, General, for your kindness!"
Kato Suichi paused the command of the leader again, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
It was soon nine o'clock in the evening, and the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on Changsha again.
Not long after the battle started, in addition to asking the troops to continue to strengthen their attacks, Tagaji Takahashi also sent another sneak attack force, and through the sudden gap in the battlefield, the 3rd Division's guard position, Baishaling, attempting to attack Tianxin Pavilion in troubled waters to seize the commanding heights of Changsha City.
In an instant, artillery fire broke out outside the east gate of Changsha, with gunfire and killing sounds everywhere. Fang Xianjue and Zhou Qingxiang's troops fought fiercely with the Japanese army overnight, tenaciously resisting the Japanese army's attack.
Xue Boling in the Yuelu Mountain command post was also nervous. At this time, it was dark and could not see the various battlefields in Changsha City, nor could he mobilize artillery to provide firepower support.
One-sided anxious waiting is undoubtedly the most tormenting!
Unable to bear it, Xue Boling called the 10th Preparatory Division, which was fighting on the front line.
After answering the phone, Xue Boling did not beat around the bush and asked Fang Juexian directly: "How long have you been holding on to your position?"
Fang Juexian immediately replied with a strong and powerful voice: "Report to Chief Xue, you can stay for at least one week!"
"Okay! Very good!"
Hearing this, Xue Boling felt relieved immediately, nodded heavily, and hung up the phone.
Then, Xue Boling had to call Li Yutang again to learn more about the current situation.
After Fang Jue hung up the phone, he called his adjutant Zhang Guangkuan and handed a freshly written letter to him and said, "This letter is very important. You can send someone to my family in the rear immediately. You must deliver it before tomorrow."
It turned out that this is a will written by Fang Juexian, and the content is as follows:
Yunhua's wife:
This time our army was ordered to defend Changsha, with a heavy task. The survival of Changsha is related to the success or failure of the overall situation of the War of Resistance. I am determined to sacrifice my country for my life.
If you die in battle, the government will take care of your life with your fifth son.
I will make sure that all my five sons can graduate from college and be good at being a good person, continue my will and serve the party and the country, and then I will be filled with laughter.
I hope my wife will not be sad!
Master Shan
"How might it be! How might it be!"
The letter was soon sent to the division's political department. After seeing this letter, Yang Zhenghua was quite shocked and decided to publish this will to inspire morale.
So, Yang Zhenghua handed it over to Ma Youcheng as soon as possible, asking him to cross the river overnight to deliver the letter to Changsha Daily.
The next day, the newspaper published the will in a large font title on the front page, titled "Teacher Fang vowed to defend his territory and made a will."
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the command post of the 11th Army of Yueyang.
"Nani? Is this true? The Ninth War Zone actually wants to encircle and annihilate the main force of the 11th Army in Changsha?"
After reading the deciphered telegram sent by the special love class, Anan Wei was so scared that he was shocked.
It turned out that after more than ten days of hard work, the intelligence staff of the Japanese Special Insight Team finally deciphered the radio password used by the Ninth War Zone in this battle tonight.
The first telegram they deciphered was Xue Boling's order yesterday to ask the armies of various groups to move towards Changsha and arrive at the first attack and arrival line.
"Hayi! The information is indeed the case at present, although I don't want to face this fact."
Kinoshita nodded with a serious expression, and then said, "We had discovered before that some of the troops in the Ninth War Zone were unknown, and now we finally know what they are doing."
"Baga Road! These damn Chinese commanders have a really big appetite!"
Anan Weiji's face turned pale and knew that Xue Boling was a tough opponent with a firm will to resist the war and had a lot of strategy, but the sudden emergence of information still surprised him.
However, it seems a bit late now. The main force of the 11th Army has gathered outside Changsha City. It can be said that all the pants have been taken off. How can you easily change the strings just by changing the strings?
Seeing Anan Weiji's appearance, Kinoshita Yuki was shocked and said, "Ananjun, don't you still think about occupying Changsha, are you?"
"why not?"
Anan Wei raised his eyebrows and said firmly, "Changsha City is within easy reach. As long as we strengthen our attack and can occupy Changsha within two days, the tactics of the Ninth War Zone will be defeated without any attack!
If we use it properly, maybe this will be the best time to annihilate the Ninth War Zone!"
Changsha is Anan Weiji's obsession, and now it is only one step away from its goal. Anan Weiji really doesn't want to miss it again.
Although he knew that doing this would be risky, "if you have it in your hand, you don't panic in your heart", Anan Wei was resolutely confident that he still had a lot of chips and support in his hand, but instead wanted to make a trick and play a big game!
