    September 20, 1938.  Fuchikou, Huangshi, Hubei Province.  ¡°Namita Juichi stood behind the position, looking forward with a telescope from time to time It has been three days.  Under his command, the Botian detachment has made considerable progress and has driven the Chinese team to the other side of Fuchikou.  According to this progress, he will be able to conquer this strategic location in just a few days.  "I heard that Fuchikou was the place where General Gan Ning of the Eastern Wu Dynasty stationed his troops during the Three Kingdoms period. It is known as the 'Key to the Chu River'. I wonder what the commander of the China Army would think when he heard that this place was lost." Next to Shigeichi Hatada,  Shojiro Iida, who was also a major general, put down the telescope in his hand and began to show off his knowledge again.  The Japanese are such a contradiction. On the one hand, they constantly express disdain for today's China, but on the other hand, they are proud of learning Chinese culture.  "If I were commanding local soldiers, then you can see the expression of the China commander now." Juichi Namada was still observing the battle ahead through the telescope.  He actually has nothing to command now. Although he is under a Taiwanese detachment, the combat effectiveness of this unit is not weaker than that of the Chinese army, or even higher, and the commanders at all levels are also Japanese officers.  , has a high level of combat literacy and knows what to do on the battlefield. Moreover, he has always been proud of the record of the unit named after his surname. The original name of the Botian Detachment was the Chongteng Detachment. On September 7 last year, it was  It is composed of the 1st and 2nd Regiments under the Taiwan Garrison Command, the Taiwan Mountain Artillery Regiment, the newly formed Taiwan 1st and 2nd Health Corps, the Taiwan Provisional Motor Vehicle Corps, and the 1st and 2nd Taiwan Transport Surveillance Corps.  , with Major General Chiaki Shigeto as the detachment leader, with a total number of approximately 14,000 people, equivalent to half a Japanese division or one division of the National Revolutionary Army.  On September 9, the Chongteng detachment was officially assigned to the Shanghai Expeditionary Army.  On the 14th, the Chongteng detachment maneuvered towards Changshu via Chuansha Town, and then rested on the spot. On November 13, it landed at Baikou together with the 16th Division, and occupied Changshu on the 19th.  The 9th and 16th Divisions captured Wuxi on November 25, allowing the Chongteng detachment to set out from Wuxi and advance westward via the Shanghai-Nanjing Line.  On December 5, Chongteng detachment occupied Danyang, and on the same day, Jurong was occupied.  Two days later, the military headquarters transferred three troops including the Chongteng detachment to form the Fifth Army, preparing to land on the coast of South China.  Therefore, the Chongteng detachment did not participate in the general attack on Nanjing.  On December 22, the Japanese military decided to postpone the landing in South China, and the Chongteng detachment returned to Taiwan to rest and recuperate.  On February 15 of the following year, Japan abolished the establishment of the Fifth Army. On the 22nd, the Shigeto detachment was placed under the Central China Expeditionary Force. He, Namada Juichi, replaced Shigeto Chiaki as the detachment leader.  In June, the Botian detachment began to gather in Hefei, and on July 4, it was incorporated into the 11th Army of the Central China Expeditionary Army.  Prepare to attack Wuhan.  According to the combat plan, the Botian detachment and other units of the 11th Army marched westward along the Yangtze River and successively occupied Anqing, Jiujiang and other places. In mid-August, they had entered the northern part of Ruichang.  On August 16, the 11th Army ordered an attack on Ruichang. The Botian Detachment, together with the Maruyama Detachment of the 9th Division, attacked Ruichang from the north and east.  On the 24th, Ruichang fell.  The Botian detachment was ordered to rest in place.  On September 7, the 11th Army ordered the Botian detachment to attack the northwest area of ??Ruichang.  On the 11th, the Botian detachment launched an attack on the mountainous area northwest of Ruichang and occupied the Ma'anshan-Yanjiashan line that night.  On the 12th, the Botian detachment advanced another 2 kilometers.  On the 13th, the Botian detachment had left Ruichang 20 kilometers away.  On the 14th, the Nagai Brigade of the 2nd Taiwan Infantry Regiment under the Botian Detachment, in coordination with other troops and the navy, captured Pier Town.  On the 15th, the entire Botian detachment captured Khao Uko.  On the 16th, a right-wing group composed of the 1st Regiment of Taiwan Infantry, the Nagai Battalion of the 2nd Regiment, and a squadron of the Mountain Artillery Regiment attacked Fuchikou It can be said that since its establishment, his detachment has made great achievements.  But it is a pity that despite his illustrious military exploits, Namada Juichi has always been proud of these military exploits, but he still feels lacking in his heart. Because this is an army whose main soldiers are from Taiwan. Although they wear the same uniforms as the regular Japanese army, the officers  They are all Japanese, but in the eyes of Namada Juichi, they are still inferior to the regular Japanese army. He even believes that it is because the soldiers are not Japanese that it hinders his attack. Otherwise, he would have crossed over by now.  Fuchikou, occupying Huangshi, overcoming all obstacles, and approaching the three towns of Wuhan.  "Of course these Taiwanese soldiers cannot be compared with local soldiers. But under the command of our officers, it is quite good that they can fight like this. Moreover, I believe it won't be long before you have the opportunity to command local soldiers." Iida  Shojiro smiled.  "I hope that will be the case." Namada Shigeichi snorted, "It's just a pity that the Chinese have transferred four more armies. The Ninth Division is fighting fiercely with them in the Yangxin and Daye areas, and they cannot support them in a short time.  We. Otherwise, we can launch a general attack on the opposite side now. "But now we are still attacking. When the time comes, won't we be more proud of completing the task of conquering this strategic location?"  "Fuchikou is important, but I hope to go straight to Wuhan." Namada ShigeTogether.  "I think this is a common thought among all commanders." Iida Shojiro said with a smile.  "Of course, I" "Boom¡ª¡ª" Before Shigeichi Hatada could finish his words, he was interrupted by a heavy muffled sound on the battlefield in front. Before he could react, the muffled "bang" sounds sounded one after another.  , Even several miles away, he could feel the shaking of the ground.  "Baga, what's going on with the artillery? Who asked them to fire?" Shige Hata was furious.  He saw in the telescope that his soldiers had already rushed forward. They were only more than two hundred meters away from the Chinese Army's position. At such a close distance, it was easy to be accidentally injured by artillery shells "This doesn't seem to be our artillery!" Iida  Xiangjiro was startled at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized something was wrong, "The sound doesn't sound like it!" "Could it be a Chinese?" The two looked at each other and raised their binoculars at the same time The Chinese Army  There are still artillery, and Fuchikou is such a strategic location But the problem is that in the past few days of the attack, the number of times the Chinese artillery fired can be counted on one hand, and it has never been so intensive.  But the "bang" that just sounded continuously, even if I didn't count it carefully, was probably thirty or forty times How could the Chinese army have so many cannons?  Even if there were, how could they be willing to use it like this? "The troops are still attacking." In the telescope, after being stunned by the brief shelling for a while, the Taiwanese soldiers of the detachment continued to attack the Chinese Army's positions under the force of the Japanese officers.  .  The same uniforms, the same roars, and even the same tactics as the local army Under normal circumstances, the Chinese army will stick to their positions as usual, first lying on the position and shooting, and when the detachment soldiers rush close, they will jump up and fight hand-to-hand.  , either drive the detachment soldiers down, or be driven away by the detachment soldiers But this time is different.  Juichi Namada and Shojiro Iida saw black objects suddenly "thrown" out from the enemy's position on the opposite side. They were far away, and even with a telescope, they couldn't see clearly what they were. However, those objects fell to the ground.  The final effect was obvious They clearly saw that with the muffled loud noises, the charging detachment soldiers were directly blown away or simply blown into pieces. In addition,  , those soldiers who were farther away and were not affected by the explosion actually fell to the ground directly after the explosion and never got up again ******************  ***** ¡°Our army has recaptured most of the positions in Fuchikou, Yangxin, and Daye, and severely damaged the Japanese Botian Detachment and the Ninth Division, killing more than 3,000 enemy troops and injuring countless others.¡± Camping in Wuhan, Tang Dynasty  Vertically, Chiang Kai-shek reported the latest battle report. It can be seen that he is in high spirits now.  "More than three thousand? Is there that many?" Chiang Kai-shek asked in a deep voice.  "Principal, the students have been checked and there are 2,974 in total." Tang Zong replied.  He could understand Chiang Kai-shek's problem.  Although the Japanese army has been at war with the Japanese army for more than a year, from Shanghai to Xuzhou and now Wuhan, the Communist Party of China has conducted many large-scale battles with the Japanese army, but it has never eliminated so many enemies in one battle Li Zongren  In Taierzhuang, he commanded the troops of the entire fifth war zone to win a victory. In total, he only killed more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, less than 3,000, and injured only more than 10,000, but that was already  This is an exciting victory.  But this time, the Third Army and four other armies actually killed nearly 3,000 Japanese troops in one battle. No wonder Chiang Kai-shek didn't believe it, even he didn't believe it, otherwise he wouldn't have sent people to investigate again.  You know, this kind of behavior is very offensive to frontline commanders.  "Are you sure there are so many?" Chiang Kai-shek still didn't believe there would be such a record.  Three thousand Japanese troops.  Although the Japanese have wiped out tens of thousands of enemy troops so far in the battle, this is just a battle Can people believe this?  "Go back to the principal, the students can guarantee it." Tang Zong confirmed again.  "Because of that 'flying thunder cannon'?" Chiang Kai-shek finally believed it, but he still felt like a dream He knew very well that Sun Tongxuan's Third Army had actually been attacking the Botian Detachment and the Ninth Division.  He had to hold on, if he hadn't gritted his teeth and transferred four more armies, that direction would have been lost long ago.  But even so, Sun Tongxuan still asked for help from time to time.  But now, a counterattack suddenly started Is Sun Tongxuan possessed by his old boss Han Fuqu?  But even if he is possessed by a ghost, who is Han Fuqu?  He lost the natural barrier of the Yellow River and the bastard of Shandong without firing a single shot. How could he repel the Japanese army and inflict such huge losses on the other side?  But if it wasn't for Han Fuqu's possession, it would have been the hundreds of gasoline barrels that had supported him in the past few days. To be honest, if Tang Zong and Dai Li hadn't fully recommended it, he wouldn't have even planned to agree That thing could do it too  Used for fighting?    "Principal, according to the report of the Third Army, the general range of 'Flying Thunder Cannon' is only 150-200 meters, but its explosive power is huge and extremely destructive to the Japanese defense facilities. Not only that, its range of damage is also appalling.  , not even under heavy artillery. Students also heard that many Japanese soldiers who were killed had their bodies intact on the surface, but their internal organs were shattered to pieces" Tang Zong added.  "Is it really that powerful?" His internal organs were shattered? Even though Chiang Kai-shek was well-informed, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. "It's really not a trivial matter at close range. It was precisely because the Japanese army was caught off guard that they were attacked by our army.  As they approached, the artillery was unable to use its power, and they suffered losses again and again. However, from the students' point of view, even if they could use artillery, it might not be of much use. After all, our army had withstood their artillery before What's more, this time.  Cannonballs are much more expensive than gun bags," Tang Zong said.  "Ask Sun Tongxuan to write a report and describe in detail the specific power and results of the 'Flying Thunder Cannon'." Chiang Kai-shek said.  "Yes." "What is the name of the man who invented the flying thunder cannon" Chiang Kai-shek suddenly asked again.  "Qin Wei." Tang Zong said.  "Well, Qin Wei," Chiang Kai-shek nodded, "What is he doing?" "He originally wanted to seek refuge abroad, but nowhe has become a professor at Chongqing University!" "Huh?"
