    "Your Excellency, General, Your Excellency" The adjutant's call awakened Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi from his worries. When he raised the telescope to look, he saw that the battlefield in front had temporarily become silent. Because the distance was too far, Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi did not know the specific battle situation.  , but what is certain is that the first line of defense on the outermost edge of Guanqian Town should have been lost.  "General, let's leave here, it's too dangerous." The adjutant faithfully performed his duties and took the trouble to persuade Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi to leave this hilltop, because the Flying Tigers' plane was hovering in the sky.  Before the adjutant finished speaking, a high-pitched scream came from in front of him.  Immediately, rows of artillery shells roared from the front and plunged into the Japanese position, followed by an overwhelming explosion. In less than a moment, huge clouds of smoke and dust rose from the Japanese defensive position.  , and then quickly enveloped the entire sky.  The artist¡¯s face turned pale when he saw it. When did the Chinese army have such strong artillery firepower?  Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi's face was also extremely solemn. It must be admitted that the angered Americans were terrifying. While they invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the European war, they could also launch a fierce attack on Japan in the Pacific battlefield. In addition,  In addition, they even had extra financial resources to support the Soviet Union and China and arm the Soviet army and the Chinese army to fight against the German and Japanese armies.  In the front, facing the UR Division's defensive position, the artillery is raging. There is no doubt that it must be equipment aided by the US government. With the weak industrial base of the Chinese government, not even a qualified mortar can be manufactured.  Not to mention such a large-caliber field howitzer.  However, if the national army thought that with the support of the Americans and cannons, it would be able to defeat the imperial army, it would be a big mistake. In an instant, Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi's face showed a look of despair and desolation.  It had disappeared, replaced by a strong fighting spirit.  "Order." Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi put down the telescope and ordered the adjutant, "The Nakamura brigade gets out of the way and lets in the Chinese troops on the opposite side first." (Dividing line) "What did you say? Chen Shizhang's 40th Division captured Guanqian Town?"  Gao Shenxing looked at Li Mu who had just returned from reconnaissance on the battlefield in surprise. The expression on his face was a little surprised. He couldn't help but be surprised. Guanqian Town was the strong point in the entire defense system of the Japanese army in Chizhou, and it was also the eastern barrier of Chizhou. It is said that  The current division commander of Japan's 1st UR Division, Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi, did not graduate from mainland China, but a top student who graduated from the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Tokyo. This old devil is a major in fortification. Gao Shenxing once personally led the 5th Brigade.  After a close reconnaissance of the Guanqian Town stronghold, we found that it was a fortress in its entirety.  After returning from the reconnaissance, Gao Shenxing conducted a war game, and was surprised to find that under the premise that there was no way to cut off the logistics supply channel of the Japanese UR Division, the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had 100,000 people.  It is impossible to recover Chizhou. However, now, Chen Shizhang's 40th Division only took half a day to capture the Guanqian Town stronghold that the old Japanese Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi had worked hard for more than two years. How is this possible?  "Yes, I can see it clearly." Li Mu nodded heavily.  "How is this possible?" Gao Shenxing looked back at Xu Jiujiu, Mingshen was a little confused.  "Why is this impossible?" Li Zihan was obviously unconvinced and said loudly, "The 40th Division has just been equipped with fine art equipment and is equipped with an artillery regiment. Those are field howitzers made in the United States, not from Japan.  The fortifications built by the old Japanese Yoshikawa are comparable to inferior howitzers. Although they have their own characteristics, they cannot withstand the heavy blows of large-caliber howitzers. " "Zihan, don't talk nonsense without conducting on-the-spot reconnaissance.  "Not only is it unique, it is quite strong. Not to mention the 10m-caliber howitzer equipped by the 40th Division, even the larger-caliber 15Um howitzer may not be able to explode," Gao Shenxing said unhappily.  "Lao Gao, I have no intention of quarreling with you, but the reality now is that Chen Shizhang's 40th Division has successfully captured Guanqian Town, and it only took less than half a day." Li Zihan spread his hands and said with a smile, "More  Strong fortifications must be guarded by people. With the current quality of little Japan" At this point, Li Zihan shook his head and did not continue.  However, the implication of Li Zihan's words has been made very clear, that is, the Japanese army does not have much combat effectiveness. If the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army does not attack decisively, Chizhou City will be captured by the Second Army. They will only  I'm afraid I won't even be able to drink the soup.  Gao Shenxing looked back at Xu Jiujiu and said in a deep voice: "Old Xu, I always feel that this is abnormal. Even if most of Japan's veterans have been transferred to the Pacific battlefield, even if the current Japanese soldiers have just been recruited from Japan,  The reserve force has little experience, but it is not like this, right? The 40th Division was defeated in just one encounter? "Li Zihan said: "This just shows that the captain's previous judgment was correct, Yu Xianggui?  Although the battle has ended, although the Japanese UR Division has returnedHowever, their combat effectiveness is far from being restored. The injured have not yet returned to the team. The energy and physical strength of the officers and soldiers have not yet recovered from the relaxation after high tension. More importantly, their technical equipment is being consumed in large quantities.  After that, before I had time to add, Komaki said just now that in the artillery battle with the 40th Division, the Japanese artillery did not fire a few shells at all.  " "Zihan, don't be careless, things are not that simple.  "Xu Jiujiu finally spoke. "Although it was determined to attack Chizhou, Xu Jiujiu did not say that it must be a quick victory. "There are many strategies and tactics in fighting. A quick victory is one option, and a long-term siege is also an option.  If a quick battle is not feasible, a long-term siege is not unacceptable. After all, the current Wannan Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army is still not strong enough. It is indeed reluctant to attack Chizhou. Even if the New Fourth Army's Pei Pei is added, it will be equally difficult, unless Huang Baitao's Third Army can also  Under the unified command of Xu Jiujiu, there may be a chance to regain Chizhou in one fell swoop. However, Huang Baitao's second army will never obey Xu Jiujiu's command. Even if Huang Baitao is willing, Gu Zhutong will never.  Chairman Chiang who is far away in Chongqing will not agree. Of course, if there is a chance to capture Chizhou in one go, Xu Jiujiu will also be happy. In view of this, Xu Jiujiu believes that a long-term siege will be implemented first, and the Japanese army will be exhausted.  The supplies are also extremely scarce, and launching a final general offensive is still an option. In this way, the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can achieve the greatest victory at the smallest cost, even though the Japanese UR Division has just left Liuzhou.  After withdrawing from the Gui battlefield, their energy and physical strength are far from recovered, and the wounded soldiers cannot return to the team immediately. The military supplies that were consumed in large quantities in the battles of Changheng and Liu Gui cannot be replenished immediately, but no matter what, this can be done.  It is a division. Even a B division expanded from an independent mixed brigade has at least three infantry regiments, plus one regiment each for infantry, baggage, and artillery. The total strength is more than 15UU0 people.  Even though there were attrition in the battles of Changheng and Liugui, the current strength will never be less than 10,000, not to mention that the wounded may return to the army at any time. Xu Shijiu will never be so arrogant as to think that the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can eat 10,000 in one bite.  Japanese Army Therefore, Xu Jiujiu¡¯s strategy was to attack with all his strength first. Once the attack failed, he would change to a long-term siege. At the specific tactical level, small troops would be deployed to repeatedly and continuously attack the Japanese defensive positions.  , causing the Japanese army to continue to consume and lose blood. This is the so-called blunt knife to cut the flesh. When the Japanese UR Division is weak to a certain extent, it will then invest the main force and launch a decisive battle against the opponent. Xu Shijiu still has his own tactics.  Although Chizhou is close to the Yangtze River and seems to be able to continuously obtain supplies from the Yangtze River waterway, in fact, the Japanese navy is sending a large number of warships and even small gunboats from the Chinese battlefield to replenish the combined fleet.  Most of those left in the Yangtze River waterway to undertake transportation tasks are armed merchant ships or even fishing boats. Facing such armed merchant ships or even fishing boats, Duzi's artillery battalion is fully capable of attacking them by relying on the favorable terrain of Chuanwan Island and Baisha Island.  If it sinks in a narrow waterway, it can at least be blocked outside Baishakou. What¡¯s more, the Flying Tigers¡¯ aircraft can now cover the middle of the Yangtze River Basin, posing a threat to the Little Japanese transport ships on the Yangtze River waterway. Little Japan wants to.  It has become increasingly difficult to transport military supplies through the Yangtze River waterway, and the price to be paid is also becoming larger and larger.  Also, the headquarters of the Chinese Condemnation Army in Little Japan may not have much supplies to allocate to the Japanese army in southern Anhui. In view of this, Xu Shijiu believes that it is completely feasible for the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the New Fourth Army to join forces.  It only takes a long time for the opportunity to eat up the Japanese UR Division one bite at a time.  But now, the rapid advance of Chen Shizhang's 40th Division has completely subverted Xu Jiujiu's judgment.  "At least judging from the performance of Chen Shizhang's 40th Division, Japan's UR Division seems to be much weaker than Xu Shijiu expected. ???????????????????????????????? If not, they would not have collapsed at the first touch in Guanqian Town, allowing the leading troops of Chen Shizhang's 40th Division to break through the defense line in one breath.  However, Xu Shijiu clearly believed in his own judgment. Little Japan's performance was so abnormal, and there must be an ulterior conspiracy. He then said to Li Zihan: "Zihan, as a friendly army, I think we need to remind  Give them a try and tell them not to underestimate the enemy too much. "Li Zihan still admired Xu Jiujiu very much. Now that even Xu Jiujiu had said this, Li Zihan said nothing more and turned around and walked into the communication.  at.
