    After the fall of Jiujiang, Zhang Fakui felt that he needed to give an explanation to the Military Commission, so he did not wait for Chiang Kai-shek's accountability telegram to be sent, so he sent a responsibility report to Wuhan on the night of the 26th for the fall of Jiujiang, asking for disciplinary action.

    In this report, Zhang Fakui explained to the Military Commission that the 11th Division of the Gutang garrison reserve had an impact on the Jiujiang battle situation due to lack of vigilance, while the 128th Division collapsed due to lack of reinforcements. Although there were too many recruits and was threatened by enemy aircraft,  It is undeniable that officers and soldiers lack education in peacetime and that officers at all levels are incapable of mastering the situation in battle.

    Based on Zhang Fakui¡¯s report, the Military Commission revoked the designations of the 11th Reserve Division and the 128th Division that were responsible for the defeat in this battle, and its six regiments were transferred to other units.

    Those who deserved punishment were punished, but the battle still needed to continue. Then the Military Commission immediately decided to encircle and annihilate the enemy Botian detachment in the mountainous areas west and south of Jiujiang. The plan was:

    The main force of the national army fought decisively with the enemy in the areas of De'an and Ruichang, but the Zhangjiashan position must be defended to cover the advance of the army.  Wang Jingjiu's army was transferred to guard the south lake bank and Aikou Town on its west side, Yu Jishi's army was stationed at De'an and Mahuiling, Shang Zhen's army was located between De'an and Yongxiu as a reserve force, and Ye Zhao's army was stationed at Nanchang.

    The Wanglingji Group of the Second Corps defends Mahuiling, Xiling, Dongling, Xiangjialing, and Gaoling, with the focus on the right.  Xiao Zhi's Chu army guarded Gaoling, Chishan and Cihua Mountain.  Sun Tongxuan's army guards Tianzi Mountain and Guniuling, but must use 1 division to control Ruichang.  Huo Kuizhang and Li Yannian's army guarded the Tianjia Town fortress, but Huo's army had to stick to Matou Town, and Guan Lin's army was located between Yangfang and Lixi as a reserve force.

    The operational terrain of the Xue and Zhang Corps has been changed to: Tanxi City, Qiujin Street, Wushimen and the line about 1 km west of the railway to the north, which belongs to the Xue Corps.  After completing the cover mission, Li Yutang, Wu Qiwei, Li Hanhun and other troops promptly mobilized the Tanxi City, Xiacheng, and Wuning areas to reorganize and become the general reserve team.

    As for Li Guoyao's unit, the Military Commission did not know whether it had forgotten it or Zhang Fakui intended to let it fight independently, so it was still placed on the front line of Yong'an.

    Regarding the plan to counterattack Jiujiang, Li Guoyao already had a secret in mind, but the details needed to be carefully considered because this plan was too risky, and the consequence of an inadvertent move was likely to be the annihilation of the entire army.

    Moreover, the army alone could not complete the task, so Li Guoyao personally sent a telegram to Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan, asking him to transfer some elite troops from the Navy, and specifically stated that what he wanted were soldiers and commanders who could operate ships.  rather than an ordinary army.

    After receiving Li Guoyao's telegram, Chen Shaokuan did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered his confidant Chen Jiliang to bring a thousand naval elites to Yong'an area by warship at night and land.

    At this time, the main force of the Japanese army, the Botian detachment, had captured Jiujiang and attacked all the way to the west, while the 106th Division went south from Jiujiang to attack Xue Yue's headquarters on the Nanxun line.

    Li Guoyao didn't care about the Botian detachment. His target was the Yangtze River. He was very sure that his enemy came from the water of the Yangtze River.

    Of course, Li Guoyao did not dare to underestimate this Botian detachment, and even vaguely looked forward to fighting with this vanguard of the Japanese invasion of China.

    Although the Namada detachment only has three infantry and artillery regiments, the entire army has undergone long-term rigorous training in Japan and the Bay Island. From the commander, Major General Namada Shigeichi, to the ordinary privates, almost all of them are mountainous.  He is an expert in lake and swamp operations, especially landing operations, and is unparalleled among the Japanese army.

    Before leaving for Taiwan, Bo Tian proudly declared to reporters that our detachment was at the brigade level, but its strength was comparable to an elite division of the imperial army.  In this expedition, I will let the corpses of the soldiers in the sea of ??blood prove all this.

    Bo Tian was definitely not arrogant. A small test of his skills in Anqing City made many national army bosses in Wuhan take a breath.  At that time, the First Regiment of Botian Detachment launched an attack on Anqing in a blue-gray twilight. In just one hour, this Japanese army captured Anqing Airport and many surrounding key points. The Anqing defense system that had been in operation for more than half a year suddenly came to an end.  Falling apart.

    In less than a day, the 146th Division of Yangsen Group Army and thousands of security teams guarding Anqing were beaten back 10 miles to the west, and Anqing fell that day.

    The fall of Anqing exposed Madang, the natural gorge of the Yangtze River, to Botian's heavy troops.

    Of course, these are not the reasons why Li Guoyao is interested in it. In terms of combat effectiveness, the Botian detachment cannot even keep up with the Sixth Division and the Third Division. However, since Li Guoyao's department has the ability to compete with those Class A divisions,  Naturally, they will not take a small detachment seriously.

    But as far as Li Guoyao knew, the historical Botian detachment was actually the renamed Chongteng detachment, and all its soldiers came from Wandao.  But the problem is that the real Shigeto detachment was completely wiped out by them during the Battle of Bengbu. Now Juichi Namada is commanding?Where did the troops come from?

    Compared with the "brilliant" record of the Botian detachment, Li Guoyao cares more about the origin of this unit, but it doesn't matter. If they really meet, Li Guoyao is confident to kill it.

    Yong'an Town. The former enemy headquarters of the 61st Army.

    After several days of deployment, the 61st Army has established a firm foothold in Yong'an Town.

    Although the terrain of Yong'an's front line is not suitable for defense, after all, the river bank is too long. The little devils can choose the landing place at will, but pure defense will not work.

    Fortunately, Li Guoyao did not think about pure defense. His goal was to seize the Japanese warships, seize the little Japanese's lair, and cut off the escape route of his landing troops.

    In the next few days, the Japanese army fought with the Chinese army in the areas west of Ruichang and south of Jiujiang. The two sides were fighting inextricably, but no one could do anything about the other.

    It was difficult for the national army to annihilate the Japanese army near Jiujiang, and it was also not easy for the Japanese army to break through the national army facing them. The battle reached a stalemate.

    Ruichang. Front line of Lion Rock.

    The arrogant Bo Tian detachment has been attacking the Lion Rock position for two days and suffered heavy casualties, but it has never been able to capture the Lion Rock.

    Even so, the Japanese army still did not give up their plan to occupy Lion Rock, because Lion Rock is the gateway to Ruichang. As long as Lion Rock is captured, the next stop will be Ruichang City.

    " Taking Ruichang City means completely capturing Jiujiang, an important town in the east of Wuhan. At this point, the Japanese army can march straight in and directly attack Wuhan City.

    On an unknown hill east of Lion Mountain, the temporary headquarters of the Botian detachment is located here.

    The sweltering heat of midsummer makes it difficult for most people to sleep, including the Japanese troops who have just invaded the Yangtze River region.

    But these were not a problem for the soldiers of the Botian detachment living on the Bay Island. After dinner, under the mandatory orders of the officers, the vast majority of the Japanese troops took the initiative to enter the barracks to rest.

    Compared with the soldiers from Japan, these soldiers recruited from the Bay Island have a more obedient spirit. There is no way, their families are still under the control of the Japanese army, and all those who dare to resist will not only suffer, but also themselves.  family.

    In fact, the national troops on the front line in Wuhan still don¡¯t know exactly who the Botian detachment that suddenly appeared is. They have never heard of such a unit before, but its combat effectiveness is very strong.

    In fact, the vast majority of the soldiers in the Botian detachment are from Bay Island. They are a mixed force of Chinese and Japanese. The key point here is - mixed!

    The so-called mixed force means that there are both Japanese and Bay Island locals in this unit.

    Since the Bay Island was ceded to Japan during the Treaty of Shimonoseki at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it has been 40 years. During such a long period of time, Japan has completely controlled this treasure island that originally belonged to China. Therefore, when the war  After the war started, the Japanese government recruited local Chinese to join the army and went to the battlefield, letting the Chinese fight against each other. What a sinister intention.

    The establishment of the Botian detachment is at the brigade level, but it has strengthened its artillery firepower. Generally, Japanese brigade-level combat units usually have an artillery brigade, but this Botian detachment is fully equipped with an artillery regiment.

    Moreover, this unit has more soldiers than the average infantry brigade, so its combat effectiveness is also stronger. It is no problem to fight against two or three Chinese divisions alone. Therefore, it has conquered a lot of territory in just a few months.  name.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
