Chapter 448 Madang Fortress

I am not afraid of opponents like gods, but I am afraid of teammates like pigs, and I am even more afraid of commands like stupid pigs...

Fortunately, after the failure of the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Lanfeng, the principal finally realized that his command ability was really not very good.

So, during the Battle of Wuhan, the principal delegated power! Yes, I am still the boss and I will report everything to me.

But, little Zhuge, Li Zongren, Xue Laohuzai, you who have better command ability than me, just give power to you and command each person.

Well, the problem of blind command has been solved... There are still pig teammates...

An army cannot stop the attack of a division...this level...

At this time, the Japanese had just finished the Battle of Xuzhou and had some trouble with the Lanfeng Battle.

After this battle, the Japanese divisions were not without combat losses, nor without combat reductions, and their equipment was also depleted!

Moreover, it is not easy for the Japanese to replenish their equipment! The army's equipment needs to be escorted by the navy, and then transported the materials and equipment from across the ocean to Tianjin Port and Shanghai Port, and then transferred to the front line to replenish the front line to the front-line combat troops.

Not only weapons and equipment, but even the new Japanese soldiers also need to take a boat to add to the brother's battle sequence.

Now, the Japanese have several frontal troops in China. One is the North China Expeditionary Army, the other is the Central China Expeditionary Army, and the Kwantung Army in the Northeast. Let’s not talk about who the commander of the North China Expeditionary Army is. The main person in the Battle of Wuhan is the Central China Expeditionary Army of the Japanese, and the commander is Toshiro Hata.

He has two armies, two direct divisions and an aviation regiment, with a total strength of 250,000. In this way, it does not include the 120 navy ships.

There are two armies, one is the Second Army, commander Prince Hirokumiya; the other is the 11th Army, commander is the famous Okamura Yasuji!

Okamura Yasuji, this is a name that every Chinese cannot forget! Because he later became the commander of the North China Expeditionary Force. The "Three Lights Policy" of "burn all, kill them all, and grab them all!" was his idea! There is also a iron wall to surround and build some unmanned areas!

(Apple fans have noticed that this guy later became your husband's military adviser, Gujiuguji??)

The Japanese attack strategy was to first take Anqing down as the frontier of attacking Wuhan, and then divide the troops into two groups, attacking from the north of the Dabie Mountains and advancing westward from the south of the Dabie Mountains along the Yangtze River.

In order to deal with the Japanese attack, the principal prepared 1.1 million troops to defend.

Summarizing the experience of the failures in the previous battles, this time the defense adopted a policy of actively defending in many key areas along the way of the Japanese offensive.

For example, in Madang Town, a fortress was established in Tianjia Town for defense.

Is it important to be a fortress? Important! It is very important!

Awesome? Very awesome!

This fortress was designed by German military advisers, and the principal invested huge amounts of money to build a first-level defense fortification!

In order to prevent the Japanese navy from advancing west along the Yangtze River, a large number of mines were arranged on the surface of the Yangtze River in this section of the Madang Fortress, and a large number of reefs were built under the water by means of shipwrecks, etc.

On this section of water, three such blockade lines were created!

The purpose is to prevent the Japanese navy from coming and prevent the Japanese from using the power of the navy to attack the land.

That's right, on the battlefield of the Battle of Shanghai, the blood of countless soldiers buried under the Japanese ship cannon shells summarized this experience...

If nothing unexpected happens, Jin would not be able to take down the horse as a fortress with just the thousands of people from the Hatan Detachment!

You should know that the Madang Fortress has arranged heavy troops, and the artillery troops that can block the river surface have also been arranged here. Whether it is water attack or land attack, it is not that easy!

Because Madang is the place, the Yangtze River is next to it, and Taibai Lake is further east, and the main position is Changshan’s main position, which can completely block all roads.

Let’s talk about Hatan Detachment.

This Hatan Detachment is a detachment of the Japanese devils, with a population of 14,000, and was formerly Shigefuji Detachment. Later, the captain of the detachment was replaced by Hatan, which became Hatan Detachment.

The Shigefune Detachment participated in the Nanjing Massacre and was a complete executioner detachment, even if the captain was replaced by Hatan.

It is worth mentioning that the grassroots soldiers in this detachment are all from Wanwan, and only the officers are Japanese devils...

In June, the Hatan Detachment took Anqing and tried to hit you as a fortress.

As a result, the navy could not get through, so they sent small boats to clear mines and were bombarded by heavy artillery on the fortress, so they could only use infantry.

So, the Hatan Detachment walked from the small road on the edge of Taibai Lake to the defense area of ​​Madang Fortress and attacked.

As a result, the flank positions were taken down without receiving much resistance, and only when the main position in Changshan was severely blocked.

Why is this happening?

It turns out that Li Yunyan, the commander of the 16th Army of this fortress, organized a Anti-Japanese Military and Political University two weeks ago, and brought all the grassroots commanders on the positions to study.

On the day of the Japanese attack, it happened to be the graduation ceremony. Everyone drank together and they were so drunk that they all glared...

As soon as the Japanese attacked, the defenders on the positions could not find their own commander, so how could they fight if no one gave orders?

In other words, no one from the Marine Corps 2 on the main position of Changshan was attending any graduation ceremony, and they were all guarding the position, which blocked the attack of the Hatan Detachment.

What do you think this is called?

What's even more bizarre? Bao Changyi, the captain of the Marine Corps, called Lao Li for help. Lao Li was sleeping soundly here and didn't answer the phone at all...

Lao Bao was anxious. We were surrounded by the Japanese and beaten up here. We all repelled the group's charge three times. The military situation is urgent!

In desperation, Lao Bao sent a telegram to his elders for help. The elders were in Wuhan and quickly told the principal. The principal was anxious when he heard this. What was he going to do? Mother Xipi!

The fortress I spent so much money to build is going to be lost? Who? Xiaobai, you! Find a way!

Zhuge Xiaobai had no choice but to send the 167th Division guarding Pengze.

Zhuge Xiaobai's order was: Take the highway and quickly reinforce the horse to the fortress! Speed!

At this time, the commander of the 167th Division also received an order from Li Yunyan who had woken up and drunk: Reinforcing Changshan positions is just a small road, so it is safe!

Between speed and safety, the commander of the 167th Division chose safety.

As a result... Before the people arrived, Lao Bao couldn't stand it anymore! There were a total of two brigades of thousands of people, so why did he fight with more than 10,000 Japanese? The rifle shells were gone, and the bullets were almost exhausted, and the Japanese even used poison gas!

So... Lao Bao led the people away...
