Chapter 989: The Japanese broke through the Xinqiang River and Miluo River defense lines one after another

In the early morning of September 18, Yu Zecheng received a telegram from Wu Jingzhong that the Japanese army had started to attack. Also sent was a commendation order from the Military Command Bureau and the Ninth Theater Command.

Yu Zecheng was not immersed in this joy. He called a carriage, called Chen Zhong and Guo Kunping, and rushed to Zhuzhou with the artillery company surveyors.

After leaving Changsha City, Yu Zecheng said to Chen Zhong: "You serve as a staff officer at the headquarters. Do you know where between Changsha and Zhuzhou is the most suitable place for an ambush?"

Chen Zhong was stunned! However, he had now begun to adapt to Yu Zecheng's nonsense. He thought for a while and said: "Ten kilometers north of Zhuzhou, there is a mountainous area. That area is suitable for an ambush."

Yu Zecheng took out the map and looked at it carefully, and finally drew a circle at that place.

Chen Zhong asked in confusion: "Captain Yu, why do you want to inspect this place? Do you think the Japanese army will break through the Changsha defense line?"

Yu Zecheng said with a smile: "I am just prepared and do some useless work in advance."

When the carriage came to that area, Yu Zecheng looked at it carefully. Finally, he chose to get off the carriage at a place sandwiched between two mountains.

Arriving at the top of the mountain, Yu Zecheng asked: "Consultant Chen, what do you think are the disadvantages of setting up an ambush here?"

Chen Zhong looked at it carefully and said: "From the terrain point of view, there is no disadvantage at all in setting up an ambush here. However, it is very suitable for setting up an ambush here..."

Yu Zecheng nodded and said: "You are right! The enemy will be more vigilant when they come here..."

Yu Zecheng walked south for a while and saw that there were mountains on one side and farmland on the other. He said, "Let's choose here!"

Guo Kunping immediately arranged for surveyors to conduct on-site surveying and mapping. He saw low trees on a hill behind and said, "Captain, our artillery position is located at that place. What do you think?"

Yu Zecheng said: "The main thing is air defense! You just need to remember this."

Yu Zecheng understood that enemy aircraft would cover the enemy's retreat. And his artillery position was the first target of enemy aircraft.

"yes!"

Yu Zecheng looked at his watch and saw that it was already afternoon, so he rode back to Huanghua Town.

When Yin Suiliang saw Chen Zhong coming back, he immediately pulled him into the room and asked: "Old Chen, why did Captain Yu call you out?"

Chen Zhong thought that this was a military secret; but he couldn't resist Fan Qianhui's eyes, so he had to say: "Go to the south of Changsha to reconnoiter the terrain."

Yin Suiliang said disapprovingly: "Going over there to reconnoiter the terrain? It's inexplicable!"

Fan Qianhui shook his head and said: "Old Yin, you are feeling uncomfortable when you look at Captain Yu! He is a military officer, so what's wrong with him going there to survey the terrain?"

Yin Suiliang was unconvinced and said: "This is obviously a useless effort! In the last battle in Changsha, the Japanese were beaten so hard that they fled in embarrassment. Can the Japanese break through Changsha City this time? Tell me, can the Japanese break through?"

Fan Qianhui shook his head and said: "Our 100th Army is preparing south of Changsha. Logically speaking, the Japanese cannot break through."

Chen Zhong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry too much! Zhao Shenzuo said that we are here to observe and learn. Watch more, listen more, and talk less. Now, the Japanese have broken through the Xinqiang River defense line.

I see, it won’t be long before the Japs attack Laodao River. As for whether the Japs can break through Changsha City, I... don’t know!"

Of course, in his heart he did not believe that the Japanese could break through Changsha City.

Fan Qianhui was not interested in this topic; he said: "Today the food has suddenly become better and there is meat for every meal. Everyone below is talking about a war. This brigade is really powerful!"

Chen Zhong nodded and said: "Yes! Five or six hundred people, eating meat every meal is not something ordinary troops can afford. Lao Yin, how about your 74th Army?"

The Seventy-Fourth Army is the commissioner's favorite, and its various benefits are the highest in the entire army.

Yin Suiliang looked a little embarrassed and said, "Our army can only get some meat before going to the battlefield. Well... they are indeed good."

Fan Qianhui laughed loudly and said, "Lao Yin, you finally praised this team."

That night, news came from Changsha that the Japanese army had broken through the Xinqianghe defense line across the board. The Guo army was almost defeated at the first touch!

The next morning, Wu Jingzhong sent news again that the Japanese army had broken through the Miluo River defense line.

Yu Zecheng couldn't sit still. He immediately pulled the troops to Chunhua Mountain. He said to several company commanders: "Immediately connect all the tunnels from the inside."

"yes!"

The whole brigade started digging tunnels again.

The original tunnels were ten meters deep; the intervals were fifty meters. Now, we excavate from ten meters away, and then dig through each tunnel laterally. All the tunnels are connected from the inside.

On September 20, the listening station sent a message to Yu Zecheng.

Yu Zecheng was shocked after deciphering the code! He quickly sent a message to Wu Jingzhong:

"The Japanese army has deciphered the code of the headquarters and learned that the 74th Army is rushing from Yichun to Liuyang. It is currently arranging for the Sixth Division to come to contain it. It is also planned that the Japanese Air Force will bomb east of Liuyang. I

》

After Wu Jingzhong got the message, he was shocked! He immediately rushed to the headquarters with the message and found Zhao Zili who was in a state of distress. He handed the message to him.

When Zhao Zili read the telegram, he broke into a cold sweat! He knew that he had just sent a telegram to the 74th Army early in the morning, ordering it to rush to Liuyang as quickly as possible to fish for the Dao River area.

Yu Zecheng definitely didn't know this information. Since Yu Zecheng's message said it so clearly, it means that the Japanese army really deciphered the headquarters' code.

He said: "Yu Zecheng has made another great contribution! I will report the credit of the liaison group to the Military Commission."

After that, he didn't care about Wu Jingzhong anymore and went directly to find Xue Yue.

Wu Jingzhong immediately returned to the room, drafted a message and sent it to Boss Dai.

After receiving the message, Boss Dai immediately called the awards liaison team!

On September 21, the Japanese army had crossed the Miluo River and was heading towards the Laodao River.

At this time, Yu Zecheng's 100th Special Operations Brigade was still digging tunnels.

When receiving the report from Wu Jingzhong from the headquarters, Yin Suiliang's face looked ugly. He said: "I didn't expect it! The pot army collapsed at the first touch!"

Fan Qianhui said quickly: "Let me tell you, Captain Yu still has a vision. Now, he is reinforcing these tunnels. What did you sniff out?"

Chen Zhong thought for a while and said, "Do the Japanese really want to break through the Laodao River defense line?"

Fan Qianhui shook his index finger and said, "No, no, no! According to Captain Yu's actions when he went to Zhuzhou to reconnoiter the terrain, he must have judged that the Japanese would break through the Changsha defense line."

On the 22nd, the Japanese army once again cracked the telegram of the Ninth Theater, adjusted their tactics, and sent the third division to quickly break through the mountains on the left flank. The defense line of the Ninth Theater collapsed.

On the 23rd, the 26th Army of the Ninth War Zone was surrounded by the Japanese army. The 26th Army suffered heavy losses in the breakout operation, and the Japanese troops advanced towards Changsha.

On the 24th, Xue Yue ordered the abandonment of Changsha, and the 74th Army resisted and retreated one by one.

After learning about it, the Japanese army sent the Sixth Division to march towards the Laodao River Valley in an attempt to encircle and eliminate the 74th Army.

On the 25th, the Japanese army sent planes to bomb the east of Liuyang County and strafed the 74th Army, which was marching in a hurry.

The Ninth Theater Headquarters failed to notify the 74th Army in time, resulting in serious damage to the troops.

At this moment, Yu Zecheng's 100th Special Operations Brigade had dug the tunnel across Chunhua Mountain. The troops were resting.

Yu Zecheng took Chen Zhong, Fan Qianhui, Yin Suiliang, Wei Jinjiang, Qian Ping, Li Shengping and the escort team back to the base camp of Huanghua Town Primary School.

At this time, only the cooking squad composed of personnel drawn from each company remained in the base camp.

The soldiers in the cooking class are busy making dry food.

Yin Suiliang asked: "Captain Yu, what's your purpose in bringing us back?"

Yu Zecheng smiled and said: "You will know after a few hours."

After dinner, Chen Zhong, Fan Qianhui, and Yin Suiliang couldn't sleep in the dormitory. The three of them kept talking in low voices.

Yin Suiliang said: "The troops have already gone up. How did they bring the three of us back? Don't you want us to follow them in the battle?"

Fan Qianhui laughed loudly and said, "Old Yin, do you really want to fight with the 100th Battalion now?"

Yin Suiliang was told what was on his mind, and he looked a little worried. He said: "When you come to the battlefield, of course you have to fight!"

Chen Zhong said: "I don't think so! Captain Yu is not a stingy person. He must have some purpose in bringing us back. Just wait and see."

In the early hours of the morning, Yin Suiliang suddenly heard the sound of large troops marching in the distance. He immediately got up and said, "It's not the Japanese who are coming, right?"

Fan Qianhui was startled, then showed a disdainful look and said: "Old Yin, don't be so crazy, okay! Captain Yu sent the sentry one kilometer away. When you hear it, I will

The sentry has come back to report a long time ago."

Chen Zhong said: "Yes! I observed how they arranged their posts. In addition to the open posts, there are also hidden posts. They are layered on top of each other. It is impossible for the Japanese army to break through their posts quietly!"

"What kind of troops are coming?" Yin Suiliang asked unconvinced.

Chen Zhongzheng was thinking.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

A female voice shouted: "Three officers, please assemble!"

The three of them had already put on their military uniforms.

Yin Suiliang rushed out. He opened the door and saw that Yu Zecheng and his guard squad were greeting the troops at the door.

He rushed over quickly, took a closer look, and was stunned on the spot!

After seeing Yin Suiliang, a major general smiled and said, "Commander Yin, what's wrong with you?"
