Chapter 340 Five Storms Are Coming

The reason why Neiji Okamura activated the [-]st Division and the [-]th Division, the two divisions that were maimed or even annihilated in the Battle of Wuhan, was to carry out revenge operations against China. Although the [-]th Division was completely wiped out, it failed to capture the Japanese army's alliance flag!

The ancient army set up a camp, they had to set up a flag first, the flag is the command system, and all kinds of flags are used, so the flag has been the sacred thing of our army since ancient times, this kind of rule has been spread all over the world, and the signal flag came from this way, China* * People's feelings for the flag have not changed since ancient times, much more than other countries.Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice Mountains and Rivers 63545

Losing the military flag has always been a great shame for soldiers. In ancient times, the military flag was usually named as a general. If the military flag is lost, it means that the general will die in battle. If the general is captured, he usually dies on a hunger strike. There is no one. In ancient times, there was a rule that the military flag was lost and the designation was revoked, so as to motivate the troops to fight bravely. However, the revocation of the designation of the troops wiped out by the enemy depends on the actual needs. In the [-]th Division, the Japanese quickly recruited veterans and domestic supplementary recruits to fill them up.

Neiji Okamura ordered the [-]st Division and the [-]th Division to prepare for the repair of communication lines, battlefield detection operations, and the preparation of necessary combat materials, which should be completed before mid-February. The Division and the [-]th Division were the main offensive tasks. They broke through the enemy's position on the right bank of the Xiushui River near Yongxiufang, with one part from the Nanxun line and the main force from the direction of Anyi and Fengxin to the Ganjiang River and Ruijiang River. Chase along the river and destroy the enemies along the way.

The main force of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army broke through the enemy's position near Ruoxi roughly at the same time as the attack began, and attacked from the areas on both sides of the Xiushui River to the Sandu area. Advance in a new direction and cut off the enemy's rear along the Xiushui River.When directly capturing Nanchang, use the main force to cross the Ganjiang River from the upper reaches of Nanchang and capture it from the south.

Immediately, the Japanese "Central China Dispatch Army" issued the "Battle Essentials for Nanchang" to the No.11 Army, instructing Neiji Okamura that the purpose of capturing Nanchang was to cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway and cut off the main contact lines of the enemy in Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province in the south of the Yangtze River. , requiring the No. 11 Army to break through the enemy's position with a sudden attack from the current state of confrontation, capture Nanchang along the Nanxun line in one fell swoop, and divide and crush the enemies along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line.At the same time, one should advance from Poyang Lake to make it beneficial for the main force to fight. After capturing the vicinity of Nanchang, we should immediately ensure the main line to the south of the place.

The Central China Expeditionary Force also negotiated a coordinated combat plan with the Chinese fleet, and ordered the No.16 Division in Hubei and the No.20 Second Division in Hangzhou to attack Hanshui and Qiantang Rivers before starting the Nanchang operation. Taking several actions to contain and confuse the squadron, Ningji Okamura, after a lot of preparatory work, finally set the time for the Nanchang battle as early March, and the start time of the attack was decided by the No.11 Army Command.

In order to ensure the suddenness of the battle and the intensity of the attack, Okamura Ningji negotiated a coordinated combat plan with the Army Aviation Corps and the Navy's Second Joint Air Force. The chief staff officer took the plane to reconnaissance the terrain, the defensive system of the defenders, the situation of the fortifications, the deployment of troops, the location of heavy weapons, etc., and based on this, he selected the river crossing point, the marching route, and the main assault direction.

In order to increase the strength and speed of the attack, Neiji Okamura also changed the previous method of dividing the field heavy artillery and tanks into divisions and regiments, and changed them to centralized use and unified command by the army when crossing Xiushui. Chariots are distributed in front of the infantry battle formation, cover and guide the traditional technique of infantry attacks. The chariots are organized into a chariot group. At a distance of about two days in front of the frontline troops, with the support of aviation, long-range Detour, breaking through the defense line of the Chinese defenders to open the way for the troops. The artillery was commanded by Sumita Sashiro, commander of the 130th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade. There were more than [-] artillery pieces of various types. The chariot was commanded by Hiroyoshi Ishii, the captain of the [-]th Chariot Battalion. There are a total of [-] five tanks and armored vehicles, and they are confident in their innovative new tactics Okamura Neiji.

The Japanese are sharpening their knives, but Xue Yue in the Ninth War Zone has been delaying the offensive order given to him by the Supreme Military Council. Gao Fei also learned some news from it, such as the No. 40 Ninth Army No. The Fifth Division, this is a unit from the Northeast Army. The predecessor of the 500th Division was Zhang Xueliang's guard brigade, which was the most powerful unit in the Northeast Army. Even such a unit, with more than [-] combatants in a division There were only less than [-] rifles, and more than [-] people in the supplementary regiment had only dozens of short guns. When defending the Japanese army, each person fired two rows of ten bullets and went to the battle to pick guns.

Although the enthusiasm for killing the enemy is very high, the lack of weapons and ammunition is an indisputable fact. Gao Fei also learned that Xue Yue has been applying to the Supreme Military Council for the command of the new division, but Chiang Kai-shek has not yet agreed. An elite main force was handed over to Xue Yue.

Sure enough, on March [-], as in history, the Japanese army took the lead in attacking, and the Chinese squadron and the Japanese invading army fought unprecedentedly fierce battles in the Nanchang area.

Gao Fei remembered that in history, from March 27th to [-]th, the Chinese defenders lost Nanchang, a strategic city, within ten days, and all the defensive troops suffered heavy losses. , It was also caused by a series of mistakes by the Chinese side.Afterwards, the Japanese army pursued westward and fell into the important town of Gao'an on April [-]. The Chinese army retreated. After that, due to insufficient troops, the Japanese army stopped the pursuit and withdrew some troops from the Nanchang area, and the battlefield was relatively stable.

Never let history repeat itself. Gao Fei spread out a map of Nanchang that is one in [-]. Nanchang is connected to the Jiuling Mountains in the west, and the southeast belongs to the hills in central and southern Jiangxi. Nanchang is dotted with rivers, lakes and ponds, and Qingshan Lake is scattered around Poyang Lake. , Jinxi Lake, Qinglan Lake, Yao Lake and other hundreds of lakes.

Looking at a basin in Nanchang as a whole, the surrounding terrain is complex, and the topography is very similar to the roof of a house. The two mountains of Jiuling and Mufu are shaped like the backbone of the house. If you guard Nanchang, you must guard Jiuling and Mufu. .

Moreover, the Ninth War Zone has deployed Lu Han's First Army, Luo Zhuoying's No.19 Army, and Wang Lingji's No.30 Army near Nanchang, which can be described as ready for battle!
