I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 708 Major Fan's Pre-War Mobilization

Captain Yoshida was also a ruthless man. He insisted on not crossing the Laodao River despite Anan's orders.

Seeing that it was almost afternoon, based on the principle of "delay leads to unexpected events", the Marines directly surrounded them from behind.

This is also because the pressure on the Air Force is too great.

Working in three shifts to intercept the 11th Air Force and prevent them from going to Xiangbei to participate in the war is definitely a strenuous job.

The Gannan Air Force's situation is relatively easy, after all, all the Zero fighters have gone to Southeast Asia.

Gannan's P51 Mustang fighter jets are invincible in this area.

But the capital's air force could not hold on any longer, and their casualties began to increase.

Song Wenwan didn't want to consume the military power of the temporary capital government army, so he naturally couldn't just sit there and watch.

So he could only announce with regret that he would not wait any longer. Anyway, the Yoshida Branch was just a bonus.

The First Guard Brigade of the First Division of the Militia began to attack quickly towards Laodao River.

And the Marine Corps from Gannan Navy also came up from behind.

It's not a tactic of surrounding three sides and leaving one side open. If you surround them, you kill them on the spot. If you can't surround them, just let them go.

We cannot let the slowness of the Yoshida Detachment delay the strategic mission of the Ninth War Zone to completely annihilate the 30th and 40th Divisions.

So when the militia division was about to take action, the Yoshida Detachment also moved.

They left an infantry battalion as a cover, and the main force of Yoshida's detachment quickly retreated towards Hankou.

The speed of this retreat was much faster than their advance.

Although Yoshida's detachment had already fled, the 1st Guard Brigade remained on guard at the location.

They sent a search company to the other side of Laodao River to monitor the Japanese troops in the direction of Hankou.

The Marine Corps did not stop and went directly to Enshi.

Prepare to protect the people of the Fourth Militia Division and jointly escort the division commander Dao Gu back to Beidu to be tried by the Chinese people.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Ninth Warmth Zone and Song Wenwan issued combat orders at the same time.

"Order of the Ninth War Zone: The 19th, 30th, 39th, and 99th Armies in the Miluo River area.

They began to act at the same time as Wen Yibai's troops of the Jiangnan Militia First Division.

After this order was issued, they set out immediately and quickly engaged the enemy from both directions of the Miluo River in order to squeeze the Japanese army's battlefield space.

At 3:00 p.m. on the same day, a general attack was launched against the Japanese 30th and 40th Divisions.

Order from the Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth Theater Command! Order from the Commander-in-Chief of the Gansu Theater Command! "

At 2:50 p.m., the 29th, 30th, 39th and 99th Armies of the National Army had assembled.

They formed four attack formations in sequence 400 meters away from the Japanese fortifications.

They were ready to launch a general attack on the Japanese in ten minutes.

Several large tweeters were erected in front of the square formations of several national army troops.

Then I saw Major Fan from the militia division standing on a big rock.

He held the handle of the megaphone and shouted: “Brothers of the Ninth War Zone, I think you should all know me.

I am the liaison officer from the Jiangnan Militia Division, Major Fan Shitou.

Normally we are the ones who command our brothers in battle, but today is different.

When the time for the general attack comes, our militia division's liaison officers will rush to the front line.

Let us break through for our brothers in the Ninth War Zone.

From now on, liaison officers of the Jiangnan Militia Division, step out!"

Soon, more than 200 liaison officers sent by the militia division to the national army stood at attention in front of the 29th Army.

As the stirring song sounded, Major Fan shouted again: "Bayonet!"

The triangular bayonets on two hundred automatic assault rifles were thrown up by the liaison officers.

Under the reflection of the sunlight, the cold light of the three-edged bayonet is really frightening.

"If China is invaded,

A passionate man should be self-reliant..."

Li put down the telescope and sighed, "A passionate man should strive for self-improvement! I am much worse than Major Fan!"

The chief of staff next to him whispered, "It's good, but when it comes to boosting morale, why do you look so much like the Communist Army?"

Commander Li curled his lips and thought to himself: Do you think I'm really blind? Can't you see this?

This Major Fan put their troops in the first attack sequence.

Commander Li was quite disgusted at first, thinking that Major Fan was seeking revenge.

But at this point, Major Fan gathered all the liaison officers from the four armies.

They are all standing in the front line ready to lead the charge, so what else can he complain about?

"Clap!"

"Boom boom boom..."

As the two flares flew into the sky, all the Type 92 infantry guns and mortars of the National Army began firing.

For a time, the Japanese army's most forward positions were overwhelmed by the National Army's artillery fire.

"Come on!"

Under the personal leadership of Major Fan, the militia division liaison officers in the first row moved.

Holding Type 41 assault rifles, they trotted towards the Japanese positions.

Commander Li was in the trench behind, observing Major Fan and his men through a telescope.

These militia division's liaison officers were too ruthless. They rushed into the Japanese positions following the barrage of mortar fire.

They would not have the slightest fear of being accidentally injured by shells from their own artillery.

They even started running and charging when they were less than fifty meters away from the Japanese position.

At this moment, the artillery bombardment commanded by the militia division began to extend behind the Japanese positions.

Commander Li: "Crazy, Song Wenwan's men are all crazy people who don't care about their lives."

After saying this, he snatched a rifle with a bayonet from his guard and was about to charge forward himself.

As a result, he was grabbed by his chief of staff.

"Commander, it's too dangerous ahead. I can't let a great commander like you go and fight the devils with bayonets!"

Li Junjun: "I am a nobody. If I don't go up, I'm not sure whether those soldiers will recognize me or not."

After he finished speaking, Commander Li jumped up and rushed into the trench.

He shouted "Kill the Japs" and rushed towards the Japs together with the soldiers.

The Chief of Staff of the 19th Army pulled over the commander of General Li’s guard battalion and yelled at him.

"Hurry up and follow him. If our commander gets a cut, I'll skin you alive!"

The Kuomintang's artillery fire was extending backwards by one hundred meters.

The artillery fire continued forward, extending to about two kilometers away.

Major Fan and his men from the militia division stopped in a Japanese trench.

The Japanese soldiers they encountered along the way were all wiped out by the Nationalist troops who rushed over.

Because the new submachine guns equipped by Major Fan and his men are too powerful.

That magazine with thirty bullets seemed to have endless bullets.

The Japanese had just raised their heads from the bombed-out fortifications and had no time to resist.

Most of the Japanese soldiers didn't even have time to load bullets into their rifles.

He was killed in the trench by the liaison officer of the first row of militia division.

The trenches that the Japanese had just dug became their graves.

This saved the National Army soldiers in the Ninth War Zone a lot of energy.

Major Fan, smoking a cigarette, and panting together with Commander Li, leaned against the earth wall inside the trench to rest.

Commander Li: "Brother Fan, why don't you chase them? Don't let the devils get away."

Major Fan: "We can't chase them now. The Japs have already passed the range of our infantry guns."

Commander Li: "What? Without artillery cover, you can't fight?

Isn't this the same as the Japanese?"
