    "Shihe, what happened!" Old Jiang said in a deep voice.

    "Commitment, great victory in Jiujiang, great victory in Jiujiang!" Wang Shihe said excitedly, not caring at all about the dissatisfaction on Lao Jiang's face.

    "What? The great victory in Jiujiang? Wasn't Jiujiang captured by the Japanese? Where did the great victory come from? Is it possible that the people below lied about their military exploits again?" Lao Jiang asked with a frown.

    Wang Shihe hurriedly handed over the telegram in his hand, and then said: "Commissioner, I just received a battle report from the headquarters of the Second Corps. The 61st Army attacked the 11th Squadron of the Japanese Navy's 3rd Fleet yesterday night and completely wiped out its main force.  , and captured 19 large and small ships. In the early morning of this morning, we took a boat down the river to surprise Jiujiang City and defeated it."

    Then Wang Shihe continued: "After capturing Jiujiang City, Li Guoyao personally led the main force south to outflank the rear of the Botian detachment, and fought bloody battles with the Botian detachment outside Jiujiang City for two hours, annihilating the detachment. The Japanese chief, Lieutenant General Botian Juichi, was  Killed."

    With a "wow" sound, Lao Jiang suddenly sat up from his seat and asked eagerly: "Shihe, have you verified the battle report? Is it true?"

    "Back to the committee, the Second Corps Headquarters has verified it. This matter is absolutely true. The 61st Army is now stationed in Jiujiang City, and the other warships have been taken over by Chen Jiliang, Deputy Chief of the Navy!" Wang Shihe replied immediately.

    "How did they do the night attack on the Japanese fleet? According to me, the 61st Army did not have a navy?" Lao Jiang asked doubtfully.

    "Commissioner, the Second Corps has no explanation for this matter, but what is certain is that the 61st Army did annihilate the 11th Japanese Battle Team. And also captured almost all of their warships!" Wang Shihe said.

    "Okay, okay, it's Li Guoyao as expected, hahaha!" Lao Jiang said excitedly.

    "Why did Chen Jiliang get involved with Li Guoyao?" He Yingqin frowned.

    "Commander-in-Chief Zhang Fakui also had an explanation for this matter. He asked someone to find the navy to coordinate the operation. Due to confidentiality reasons, it was not reported to the Military Commission!"

    "Oh, so Zhang Xianghua arranged this battle?"

    "Yes, including the 61st Army, Yong'an front line, the United Navy, etc., Commander-in-Chief Zhang Fakui is coordinating, but it is the 61st Army, and even the old thief Hata Shigeichi, who implements the combat plan.  It was also killed by Commander Li Guoyao himself." Wang Shihe said.

    "Okay, it seems we have misunderstood Zhang Xianghua. He withdrew from Jiujiang City a few days ago probably to lure the enemy deeper. He contributed a lot to the complete annihilation of the Second Corps of the Botian Bandit Army this time!" Old Jiang said.

    "Principal, Commander-in-Chief Zhang requested to postpone his return to Wuhan to report on his duties. The reason is that he has ordered the troops to counterattack across the board. It is expected that the remaining Japanese troops will be defeated tonight and the lost Gutang and other positions will be recaptured. Once the goal is achieved, the 106th Infantry Division will  It became a lone army, and the Second Corps is preparing to send its main force southward to encircle the Matsuura Division with the First Corps." Wang Shihe said.

    "Well, since Jiujiang has not been lost and the gateway to Wuhan has not been lost, there is no need for Zhang Xianghua to come back in a hurry to explain the situation. Send a message for me, so that Zhang Xianghua can command at the front with peace of mind. We will talk about the work report later!" Old Jiang said.

    "yes!"

    Then Lao Jiang said to Dai Li: "It seems that something happened in Jiujiang City last night, so the communication between the superiors and subordinates of the Japanese army was so frequent. This can also confirm from the side that this victory is real, but the specific situation  We still need your Military Control Bureau to conduct a secret investigation!"

    "yes!"

    "What are the casualties of the 61st Army?" Lao Jiang asked again.

    "There is no news yet, but it doesn't look good. The 61st Army was completely wiped out when it returned to Germany. Although the remnants of the Eighth Army were added to the 61st Army, the Eighth Army only had  There are more than 10,000 soldiers, and the remaining soldiers are all new recruits recruited by Li Guoyao from Wuhan City. If such a unit fights with the elite of the Japs, the casualties must be heavy." Wang Shihe said immediately.

    "Jingzhi, what do you think about this matter?"

    "Commissioner, Li Guoyao's troops are indeed an elite force that has fought in hundreds of battles. There are no empty warriors under the reputation! It's a pity that this elite force is useless after this battle!" He Yingqin said in a deep voice.

    "That's not the case!" Lao Jiang said in a deep voice.

    Hearing that this elite army was useless, Chiang Kai-shek felt uncomfortable. Now is the time to employ people. Even though the 61st Army has never been very obedient, it is China's national defense force. It is the sword in his hand. It is really useless.  pity!

    "Commissioner, this night the 61st Army first raided the Japanese fleet, then made a surprise attack on Jiujiang, and finally fought with the Botian detachment for a long time. By the way, it is said that the 11th Army of the Little Devil also has a large number of navy and land forces.  Team, since Li Guoyao's troops have capturedAfter destroying all the ships, they obviously also annihilated the opponent's Marine Corps. Calculating that in this battle, the 61st Army destroyed at least 8,000 little Japs.  "

    Then He Yingqin continued: "That's eight thousand people. Even based on a one-to-one casualty calculation, at least eight thousand people from Li Guoyao's troops were killed, which accounted for almost one-half of the total strength of the 61st Army.  But this is only the most ideal situation. In fact, when have we ever suffered one-to-one losses in battles with the Japanese?"

    "No, never. The best record in the past was two to one. For example, in the great victory of Taierzhuang, the casualty ratio was two to one. In this way, the casualties of Li Guoyao's troops would probably not be less than fifteen thousand  People, even more.¡±

    "For a unit with less than 20,000 troops and more than 15,000 casualties, what is the difference between this and being abandoned?"

    Lao Jiang nodded, and then said: "It would be a pity if this is really the case!"

    "Yes, although Li Guoyao is young, he is a bit arrogant and a bit unruly. But when it comes to big things, this man is different from Zhang Xiaoliu. He is not confused, and he is ruthless enough in battle.  , He is a real tiger general!" He Yingqin said with emotion.

    "Well, immediately send a report to the Second Corps Headquarters and ask the 61st Army to report the battle damage!" Lao Jiang said.

    "yes!"

    "In addition, send a report to Commander-in-Chief Xue, telling him that the battle situation in Jiujiang has been decided, the Songpu Division has become a lone army, and the First Corps must concentrate its forces to annihilate it!"

    "yes!"

    Just when Chiang Kai-shek was dispatching troops and generals, the Eleventh Army headquarters on the Hukou front line had a different scene.

    Okamura Neiji was originally waiting for the good news that the Navy had captured Ruichang, but what he received was the news that Jiujiang was counterattacked by a mysterious force. He then ordered someone to contact the 11th Navy Team but found that no one answered.

    ¡°Immediately afterwards, I received an emergency telegram from the Botian detachment, saying that the detachment was blocked by the detachment/that army. The two sides had been fighting together and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat.

    Since the ** troops are too numerous and their firepower is not under their command, we specifically request combat guidance, especially aviation reinforcements.

    After reading the telegram sent by Juichi Namada, although Okamura Neiji did not understand the ins and outs of it, he already knew that the situation of the Namada detachment at this time must be very dangerous.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Otherwise, a face-conscious person like Namada Juichi would never ask for combat guidance from him, unless the situation is urgent to a certain extent.

    Therefore, Okamura Neiji immediately ordered the 15th Division stationed in Hukou to immediately dispatch the troops closest to Jiujiang to reinforce the Botian detachment, and at the same time dispatched aviation troops to provide air support to the Botian detachment.

    However, after the aviation troops arrived at the battlefield, they found that the two sides were entangled and unable to drop bombs at all.

    ¡°Then the Chinese army on the ground quickly established air defense positions. Caught off guard, the Japanese aviation force shot down six fighter planes. The remaining fighter planes were limited by fuel consumption and had no choice but to return.

    By the time the second batch of aviation troops flew to the battlefield, they found that the battle was over. Except for a small number of Chinese troops cleaning up the battlefield, there were only corpses of the imperial army on the ground in Dajianshan.

    The angry Japanese air force carried out retaliatory bombings against the Chinese troops who were cleaning the battlefield, but they were unable to reverse the situation and could only return in despair.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
