On the afternoon of July 15, 1938, the Japanese army attacked fiercely on the northern foot of Guishan Mountain for an afternoon, but could not break through the second line of defense on the mountainside. As it got dark, the Japanese army stopped attacking and retreated to the circular trench on the mountainside!

The Japanese army did not discover that more than a dozen river ships were shuttled back and forth on the surface of the Yangtze River!

These dozens of river ships are quietly transporting 50 T-26 tanks from the Tank Battalion directly under the Wuhan Garrison Command from Wuchang on the south bank of the Yangtze River to Hanyang on the north bank.

...

At the same time, the command post at Guishan Fortress.

Zhong Yi is making the final confirmation before the counterattack!

Zhong Yi's eyes first fell on the tank battalion commander Ding Yan.

Ding Yan is the director of the Construction Department under the Wuhan Garrison Command, but after the renovation and reinforcement project of the private houses in the three towns of Wuhan was completed, the Construction Department had become a decoration, so Ding Yan took the initiative to ask Zhong Yi for a new position, which was the battalion commander of the Tank Battalion directly under the Wuhan Garrison Command!

Ding Yan was originally a tank soldier and deserved his position as the tank battalion commander!

"Battlefield Commander Ding!" Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "Confirm your Tank Battalion's mission!"

"Yes!" Ding Yan stood attentively, saluted, and then replied proudly, "Our Tank Battalion has only one task. After clearing the obstacles to advance, he immediately launched an assault on the camp of the Third Division, and then kept moving forward until the Japanese camp was drilled through, and then cooperated with the subsequent infantry to tear it to the two wings!"

"Yeah!" Zhong Yi nodded and turned his attention to Sun Xia, the commander of the engineer battalion directly under the Anti-Smuggling Corps.

"Battlefield Commander Sun!" Zhong Yi said, "Confirm your engineering battalion's mission!"

"Yes!" Sun Xia stood attentively, saluted, and said, "The mission of our engineer battalion is to blow up the trench on the left side of the 3rd Division of the Daily Army, and clear obstacles for the advancement of the tank battalion directly under the garrison headquarters!"

"Okay!" Zhong Yi nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Sun Liren, the captain of the anti-smuggling corps.

Sun Liren said: "Our anti-smuggling corps will be invested in the 113th Regiment and the 114th Regiment. After the Tank Battalion broke into the camp of the Japanese Third Division, it followed and teared the Japanese defense line to both wings! After the Tank Battalion drilled through the Japanese camp, it will cooperate with the Tank Battalion to reverse the Japanese army's back!"

Zhong Yi turned his attention to Chen Jing'an, the commander of the First Brigade of the Security Brigade.

Chen Jing'an said: "The mission of our First Guard Brigade is to detour from the left wing! Cut off the route of the Japanese Third Division to escape to the left wing, and cooperate with the Second Guard Brigade to force the Japanese army to flee north!"

"Okay!" Zhong Yi nodded slightly and turned his eyes to Liu Futing.

Liu Futing said: "The mission of our Third Guard Brigade is to detour from the right wing! Cut off the route of the Japanese Third Division to escape to the right wing, and cooperate with the First Guard Brigade to force the Japanese army to flee north!"

Zhong Yi nodded and finally turned his attention to Pan Zihe, the commander of the Third Security Brigade.

Pan Zihe said: "The mission of our Third Guard Brigade is to set up an ambush in Guanyin Temple, 15 miles north of the Japanese army's base, and strive to wipe out the defeated troops of the Third Division!"

"Okay!" Zhong Yi nodded at last and said, "Now start to match the situation!"

Several of the head officials at the meeting raised their wrists together, and Zhong Yi continued: "It's now 7:05 pm, and the counterattack time is set at 0:00 am on the 16th! Don't remember it wrong!"

"Yes!" Several officials stood up together.

Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Go back and prepare!"

Several of the leaders who attended the meeting turned around and left.

...

Time soon came late at night on the 16th.

Because I couldn't sleep, Fujitajin put on his shirt and walked outside the tent, looking at the distance of Kame Mountain under the night sky.

I saw that under the dark starry sky, the dark Turtle Mountain was like a prehistoric giant turtle, lying motionlessly at the intersection of the Han River and the Yangtze River!

It is this giant turtle. In the past ten days, Fujita Jin has made it difficult for tea and food to be delicious.

The footsteps sounded behind him, and when he looked back, Saito Masaru walked over with a saber.

"Second Commander!" Saito Masaru paused slightly and said, "You haven't gotten rest yet?"

"I can't sleep." Fujitajin waved his hand and sighed, "We four infantry corps took turns to attack the northern foot of Guishan Mountain for more than ten days, but I still couldn't take it down. I was anxious!"

Saito Masaru said: "Second Commander, the battle against the toughest has always been the most difficult, and this matter is unhurried!"

"We are not in a hurry, but His Highness Nianyan is a little anxious!" Fujitajin shook his head and continued, "Before darkness, His Highness Nianyan sent another telegram urging us to capture Hanyang Town as soon as possible! But the problem is that it is impossible to capture Hanyang without first capturing Guishan, but Guishan cannot take it down even if it is urgent, alas!"

Saito Masaru was silent. He didn't dare to express his opinions easily on this matter.

While the two were talking, a sudden sound of gunfire suddenly sounded in front of them.

"Well, there is a gunshot?" Saito Masaru frowned, "What's the matter?"

As soon as the words finished, a flare had already taken off with a squeaking sound.

"There is an enemy attack, and the Chinese army attacked at night!" Saito Masaru made a judgment at once, but was not surprised.

Because in the past ten days, almost no Chinese army attacked overnight, but the night attacks of the Chinese army did not cause trouble to the Third Division.

Because the Third Division has built a simple military fortress in the north of Hanyang City!

Facing a fortress, the harassing night attacks by the Chinese army are useless!

Basically, the Japanese army fired the flares and swept the machine guns, and the Chinese army retreated with difficulty.

For this reason, we were not surprised to know that the Chinese army was attacking at night, whether Fujita or Masaru Saito.

With the launch of the flares, sparse gunshots sounded in front of the right front of the barracks, but soon, the gunshots began to become dense, even accompanied by explosions.

Hearing the explosion, Fujita Jin frowned.

Saito Masaru also said: "Secretary Commander, it seems that something is wrong? I'll go and have a look!"

Fujitajin nodded and reminded him: "Saido, be careful and drive the Chinese army away. Don't go out of the camp to pursue it rashly, so as not to be ambushed!"

"Hayi!"

...

Third Division camp, right front trench.

The engineers from the engineering battalion directly under the Anti-Smuggling Corps were holding bundles of explosives and rushing forward without hesitation.

The Japanese in the camp obviously realized what the Chinese engineers wanted to do, and tried their best to block them. One Japanese even rushed directly outside the camp with a bright bayonet.

The dozen or so engineers who attacked the first group were quickly piled up!

Sun Xia suddenly became anxious. What would happen if this continued?

If the general attack time comes, their engineering battalion cannot blow up the trenches, then the tanks of the tank battalion directly under the garrison headquarters rushed over and fell head-on into the trenches outside the Japanese camp, how could they fart?
Chapter completed!
