During the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the 37th Regiment of Ji Xingwen, the 110th Brigade of the 2129th Division stationed in Wanping, and Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu and others who subsequently died for the country belonged to this unit.

Later, the group army retreated to Henan, and then under the command and jurisdiction of the fifth theater, stationed in the back of Yi province. Later, the first group army was ordered to be reorganized into the 33rd group army, and the commander-in-chief of the group was Zhang Zizhong.

The other is the current Yunnan army faction.

The 60th National Revolutionary Army, commanded by Lu Han, was expanded into the First Group Army, under the jurisdiction of the 60th Army, commanded by An Enpu, and the 58th Army, commanded by Sun Du.

The army belongs to the battle sequence of the ninth theater. In the battle of Changsha, the first group army was ordered to guard Jing'an, Zhangjiashan, Maxia, and Huibu to the west of Fengxin.

At this time, the commander of the army was Lu Han, and the entire First Army was under the command of the former enemy commander-in-chief Luo Zhuoying.

At this time, the two armies under the entire First Army, plus the No.19 Army were ordered to station, and the 32nd Army and 49th Army under their jurisdiction guarded the Lianhua Mountain, Maxing Mountain and the positions on the right bank of the Jinjiang River.

Logically speaking, with these two group armies stationed here, the position can be said to be impenetrable.

No matter how many Japanese troops come, they can ensure that the position is safe and sound.

In fact, all the officers on the entire position, including ordinary soldiers, thought this way. After all, they had two group armies here, and the Japanese army only had the 106th division to attack. How could it be possible for a mere division to break through them? The defense of this entire army?

Everyone thinks so!

Even Lu Han, the commander of the First Army, is the same!

However, the course of the battle was not as smooth as they imagined. When the two sides of China and Japan came into contact, the situation and results of the battle that broke out were also far beyond Lu Han's surprise.

Of course, these are things to follow.

At this time, the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, under the leadership of division commander Junrokuro Matsuura, had arrived in the Fengxin area. As soon as it arrived in Fengxin, the 106th Division had already opened up its battle formation.

As one of the three routes of the Japanese army, the unit led by Junrokuro Matsuura was just a feint attack unit. His mission was to clean up the defenders on the periphery and facilitate the entry of the core troops into Changsha.

Therefore, after they arrived in Fengxin, Matsuura Junrokuro immediately sent a message to the headquarters in Xianning, asking for the next step of the battle plan.

Neiji Okamura, who was far away in Xianning, did not hesitate at all after receiving this telegram, and directly ordered the 106th Division to immediately attack the defenders. So far, the Battle of Fengxin has begun!

The start of the Fengxin Battle marks the real beginning of the Changsha Battle!

……

Fengxin is located in the north of Jiangxi. The geographical location is not very important, but it is a gateway for the Japanese army to break into the important areas of the three provinces. After breaking through, if it is not blocked, the little devils can drive straight in.

Therefore, the Fengxin area is the defender's first line of defense against the Japanese army!

Facing this first line of defense, the head of the 106th Division, Matsuura Junrokuro, was not afraid, but seemed smug.

He put down the binoculars, with a clear look in his eyes, turned his head to the officers on the left and right and said, "My lords, in your opinion, can you break through the defense line of the China Army?"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, give me an hour, and I will definitely be able to break through the defense line of the Chinese Army!"

As soon as Matsuura Junrokuro's words fell, an officer stood up and said with disdain.

Hearing this, Matsuura Junrokuro shook his head and laughed, and said lightly: "Don't talk big, although the morale needs to be improved when the war is coming, such exaggerated words are still a little impetuous! How about it... I will give you half a day , In addition to your brigade and regiment, I will also assist you with the artillery wing of the division and the corresponding troops, I hope you can break through the Fengxin line of defense as soon as possible and reach the Gao'an area!"

"This is only the first line of defense we have encountered. There are still several lines of defense stationed by the Chinese army behind us. If we don't clear them up cleanly, we will inevitably fall into a difficult attrition battle later on. Therefore... Support Sir, your task is very difficult!"

"Hi! Thank you, Commander, for your instruction. I will definitely keep it in mind!" Hearing this, the officer, the brigade commander of the 111th Infantry Brigade, bowed quickly and saluted deeply. Said loudly.

However, on his face, there was a look of disdain.

Obviously, he didn't listen to Matsuura Junrokuro's words.

The 106th Division is not a first-class division of the Japanese army. It is only a second-class special division under the 11th Army of the Japanese Army. It has more than 16000 standing soldiers. It was wiped out, causing heavy losses to the 106th Division.

After Matsuura Junrokuro desperately broke through and went back, he was also supplemented with some soldiers. The current number of soldiers is about 14000. After a period of recuperation, the division has been repaired, so it was sent to this time. Among the battles in Changsha.

Originally, any army that suffered such a devastating blow before would have to keep a low profile later on, and at the worst, be more cautious and gain wisdom from a fall, but this is obviously not the case with the 106th Division!

After the Wanjialing fiasco, the 106th Division, after recuperating, seemed to have healed their scars and forgot about the pain, and became arrogant again!

The two infantry brigades under the division are the 111th brigade and the 136th brigade. Their combat effectiveness is not very powerful, but they are not bad, but their brigade leaders are very arrogant.

In the preface, Zhidu even threatened to capture Fengxin within an hour, which is simply arrogance!

But Zhidu didn't think so in the preface. In his opinion, although the opponent has a large number of people, they have poor equipment and low combat effectiveness. With the elite of the empire in his hands, it should be easy to capture this position.

That's why he was so arrogant.

Matsuura Junrokuro didn't notice the disdain in his eyes because of bowing and saluting, but after hearing the other party's words, Matsuura Junrokuro thought that the preface Zhidu had listened to his opinion and was very satisfied.

Therefore, he directly waved his hand and let the preface Zhidu lead his troops to attack the defending position in front of him!

TextChapter 750 Shelling!

"Kill it!"

With the order of Zhidu in the preface, the entire 111 brigade of the Japanese army formed an offensive formation in an instant and attacked the position.

Although the Fengxin combat area was not very large, it was not small either. Although the Japanese army had a division arriving, when attacking, the main force was concentrated at one point, and the rest of the troops were responsible for the flank attack on the left and right.

The first attack was only with one regiment. However, even though there was only one regiment, in order to win the first battle, the preface support was directly issued in the name of the division commander to the artillery regiment attached to the division. Order to let them shell the defenders' positions to assist the attacking troops.

"Boom boom boom..."

The newly equipped field heavy artillery unit of the 106th Division immediately launched a fierce shelling on the defenders' positions after they were ready. Dozens of cannons of different calibers were aimed at the defenders' positions, especially in Fengxin In the center, this is the position targeted by the Japanese army, and the shelling is even more intense!

Cannonballs poured down towards the defenders' positions as if they were not moving forward, and the entire frontier position of Fengxin Center was instantly covered by artillery fire.

"Boom boom boom..."

The cannonballs fell down like meteors, falling with a destructive force, and then exploded, creating large pits and throwing countless dirt into the air.

This is not over, when the shells fell one after another, some of the civil engineering works that had been built were destroyed in an instant. The hard company, in front of the cannon, seemed to be papered. The entire firepower point was blown away in an instant, and all the soldiers and machine guns inside were turned into a pile of dust under the impact of the artillery fire, but there were no bones left.

The terrifying firepower instantly revealed its ferocious fangs!

As soon as the Japanese army attacked, they had already used all their strength!

Facing the fierce firepower of the Japanese army, even though the soldiers defending the army were happy and fearless, under the attack of the little devil's artillery fire, they would suffer huge losses, and they had to avoid the edge for the time being. Therefore, the soldiers were all under the call of the officer. , Hiding in the air-raid shelter dug by relying on trenches.

"Brothers, hurry up and hide in!"

"Attention all, the little devil is shelling, everyone hides quickly, and rush out as soon as the Japanese shelling is over, don't let the little devil's infantry touch it!"

The officers shouted loudly in the midst of the artillery fire.

The soldiers already understood without the officers saying much. Although the First Group Army was a Dian Army branch, although its combat effectiveness was not well-known, most of the troops were veterans.As the saying goes, recruits are afraid of guns, and veterans are afraid of extreme strength.Facing the bombing of the Japanese army, they are naturally not afraid!

As long as they have participated in one or two battles and survived smoothly, they will become a very experienced veteran, and correspondingly, how to survive on the battlefield is their ability!
